Had my own martial arts school.

Obviously me, and any other black belt, has sparred with white belts and it's like a club tennis pro playing tennis with someone coming in for the first time ever to play tennis. The gulf between beginners and pros is massive.

That being said, I always had the imposter syndrome, and always felt like I was the exacts same level as when I was a white belt.

And yes, if you have great technique, you're going to wipe the floor with someone who is a lot bigger than you are.

It's really shocking that AMD fails to extend support natively.

Workarounds such as DirectML claim to be the answer in unifying people with NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, but thus far it hasn't, with issues such as [this](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectML/issues/58) constantly popping up.

As nicolaslem points out, Arch does have community packages for ROCm, but that, unsurprisingly fails to lend support to many consumer GPUs. The best community support I have come across are [rocm-opencl](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-openc... [rocm-hip](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-hip/) for Fedora maintained by [mystro256](https://github.com/Mystro256), who is a single AMD employee.Thanks to him, my AMD GPU (Radeon 6800XT) hasn't completely gone to waste, and I was able to tinker with some things (Gaming isn't really up my alley).

Lately however, after beginning to work on DGX V100s and A100s, and using my older laptop with a GTX 1650, it was apparent how simple setting up CUDA was, and how easily I could experiment with it on my consumer card. Many have spoken about similar stories, and here's mine. Really hope AMD does a whole lot more, and doesn't exclusively keep their powerful GPUs for gaming.
> There's also almost nothing pragmatic about C++.

That's a heck of a weird take. C++'s main value proposition has always been pragmatism. In all possible and conceivable aspects of a programming language. The fact that is a (mostly) superset of C, support for OO, RAII, outstanding backwards compatibility, time-tested and future-proofed, "you pay for what you use", it targets everything and runs everywhere, it's the language of choice on most mainstream OSes and specially Windows, etc.

Why do you think people tolerate footguns and memory shenanigans? Why do you think that C++ is still one of the most popular languages ever devised and continued to hold the crown even after the C++98 cross through the desert?

C++ has been the optimal choice with regards to pragmatism at least for the past two decades. What does C++ offer other than pragmatic solutions?

i find this slightly patronising - i have studied languages such as scheme and haskell. and i don't see how writing a function such as length(string) could be pure if the member function length() was not, as you would pass a copy of the string (ok, pure) and then call a member function (impure, according to you) on it to actually get the length.
I keep seeing those "zero-downtime" tools that really aren't. (This one will wait for app shutdown/startup) They try weird approaches and completely miss that rev-proxies supported this in many ways for ages.

You can live-reload a config, update a link to a Unix socket, update an iptables rule, or do one of many other things that allow you to start the new app version and warm it up before switching new connections to it. Then kill the old one once it's idle. It's safer that way and it stops being a race vs the timeout of new connections.
Artifacts, ego types, and most normal objects have to pass a depth check before being generated. But nothing in the game has a depth below 100, so there would be no difference between 100 and 200 from that perspective.

It might be easier to find weapons with higher +to_hit and +to_dam values, or armor with higher +ac, but that would be unlikely to matter much, because you'd be using artifacts anyway.

I don't know if rings of speed take dungeon depth into account. Most other types of bonuses in the game are capped. (e.g. a Ring of Constitution +6 is as good as Rings of Constitution get.)
Heh. I've thought that many times about my uncle. He seems immortal. Never even got covid; never wore a mask, never obeyed lockdown orders (and we all did, and were worried about him).

Side note, he's not my blood relative; he married my aunt while they were in their 20s. My aunt ended up in Las Vegas to get what was at the time cutting-edge, absolutely brutal radiation treatment for a cancer wrapped around her brainstem when she was 18. And so she was also sterile. They raised birds in a house in Henderson. The rads eventually got to her, producing a lot of small bleeds and seizures, and she died in her early 50s. He's just still truckin.

Here's a hackaday project[1].

Riffing on that project, you could use a NanoVNA[2] (I have a clone) as a ready built Time Domain Reflectometer, which you can connect to via USB. That gets you a radar scan in one dimension radar, which you'd then have to move in a grid, and collect a set of data. You then have to work backwards and compute a 3d tomograph.[3]

When the CO2 tax was introduced in Germany you could see people make ridiculous statements like how rich people with their electric cars and heat pumps and so on have 0 tons of emissions and the CO2 dividend of roughly 75€ per year is therefore primarily benefitting a handful of rich people.

You can't make this up yet there is a ridiculous number of people believing this.

The CO2 dividend works like this. If you emit an average amount of CO2, then you effectively pay nothing. If you emit less, you get more money than you pay in. If you emit more than the average, you pay in. By this arrangement the vast majority of people either get some money back, pay nothing or only pay a little and the rich pay a lot.
My friend recently bought Vision Five 2, and we've tested its performance, comparing to Vision Five 1. Here are the results: https://twitter.com/ClickHouseDB/status/1619767689861550081

The outcomes:
- it shows several times better results, but we suspect that the previous result was misconfigured;
- the performance is still way behind Raspberry Pi, Rock Pi and other AArch64 machines.

Show HN: A no-code canvas for financial planning, model various scenarios
I built this no-code tool for modelling personal finance situations. The idea is to democratize financial modelling by allowing people without knowledge of Excel or being an expert to understand and model financial matters.
Does this idea makes sense to you? Please feel free to try it out. No login is required and no data is sent to a server. haha, there is no backend at all!

Built on top of Excalidraw canvas with financial modelling done on the client with JS.

> The word game appears twice in all the articles, so I took this writing as a broad outlook. And C++ is not C.

C++ is indeed not C. C++ is a considerable improvement over C. You can stick with your C-style code and get the same result you'd get if you had used C, but you still have access to features that simplify a great deal your life and don't have a performance impact, like templates. With C++ you can have your C cake and eat the C++ cake too. The only drawback is compilation times, but any caching system takes care of that.
I worked on something like this long time ago. It was not related to automotive but mobile industry. At that time it was difficult to get any such information. I don't know whether things have changed now, but I will give you my approach to understanding the low-level android stack. I approached it from bottom-up level rather than top-down. I looked at the hardware driver(I was working on enabling graphics stack for the devices, so I started digging into the graphics driver and its related userland libraries). Then I looked at the HAL layer that was related to the graphics stack. Then went through the skia library and the surface flinger, then the corresponding JNI calls. Most of the time you don't have to touch the JNI part of the stack.

For JNI please refer the documentation on Oracle's website.

For everything below that, the best approach is to just dive into the AOSP code(https://source.android.com). There is lots of documentation there as well. But the source code still gives you a lot better insight into the workings of the system and what the top layer expects from the bottom layer. As they say, "Read the source Luke!" :)

> the language has matching immutable data structures for mutable ones [^1]

Looking at the lingo being used, the extremely limited breadth of ABI, and the complexity they assert around "immutable" data structures, they're clearly imperative data structures you can't mutate rather than the persistent data structures you'd expect from a strong clj inspiration.

This page looks a lot more like a description of python datatypes than clojure, the only bit that Python lacks is an official frozendict.

What cpython type thing? Do you mean a rich(er) set of built-in datatypes?

Because lots of lisps have that, some (e.g. clojure) also have reader macros for pseudo-literals.

Even Scheme has had a built-in hashmap since R6RS (2007), and R5RS implementations usually provided hashmaps even if they were not spec-defined. Common Lisp has had a hashmap more or less all along (at least since before ANSI standardisation)

There are lots more Physics principles with application nuances involved which one can find in many Sports Anatomy/Physiology books though i am not aware of any dealing with Martial Arts techniques exclusively (i had worked out the above for myself).

Many Athletes/Coaches (MMA or otherwise) know of these to a certain degree by traditional teaching methods or instinct even though they might be unaware of the Physics behind it. For example a Boxing coach might say "put the Body into the punch" , a Karate instructor might say "power comes from twisting the Hip", a Judo coach might say "keep your center of gravity low and close to the opponent's" etc. Because our Body dynamics can be so complex (due to our many joints) different Martial Arts emphasize different methods of generating force eg. A Boxing punch vs. Karate punch, A KungFu snap kick vs. a Muay Thai sledgehammer kick etc.

Because Martial Arts development was more empirical, the old texts (there is great value in reading these texts) often mention techniques which are proven to be highly effective which we now can try and explain using Modern Physics principles.
Most of them are in this manner.

A Drug That Cures Autism? Neuroscience Study Yields Promising Results
If I’ve learnt anything about myself, it’s that I’ll read the book, get motivated, enjoy a period of improvement, fall off the horse and be back here scrolling HN in bed in a few weeks.

The best improvement I’ve found is to just simply stop caring. Then I’m more happy, then it’s easier to do the things that need to do. The things that don’t get done? Well, they just weren’t meant to be - oops. Maybe one day, but forcing it won’t help.
The package manager will never attempt to clear stuff under user's home directories, just like macOS will not clear stuff under ~/Library. The package manager doesn't and cannot know what content an application has created while in use. Only the application itself knows that.
If anything it’s major inspirations seem to be Clojure and Lua.

It has some of the affordances of the former in terms of semantics, but is stripped down and friendly like Lua.

The use cases also seem to overlap with Lua, as a fast, embeddable scripting language that you can easily keep in your head (see docs).

It seems to be simpler than Lua because it doesn’t complect arrays and dicts into tables, as arrays are a separate construct. And it affords you with immutable versions of those.

To me it looks like a Clojure-like for Lua use cases.

Micromanagement, depending on what it means, can be a valuable tool in fixing a broken system. e.g. you take over a team where everything's broken and shipping late. It can genuinely be very helpful for you to dive into the details of everybody's tasks and figure out where things are breaking down. You get a detailed look at the bottlenecks that senior people face (but may be reluctant to share for political/personal reasons); and you get a detailed look at the knowledge/skills gaps that hinder juniors.

It's not sustainable though. The idea is to dive in, figure out what to fix, then fix it into a system you can stop micromanaging. Otherwise you just won't have enough time to do the other important stuff.

I don't believe there's been any analogue to this in chess AIs in many years, if ever. Chess AIs are certainly getting stronger, but when is the last time someone found an adversarial strategy against them that even mid-level players, or a high-level player giving a full queen as a handicap, can pull off? This feels much more like "exploit" than "tactics".
As an aside for those wondering what the name for this is to see what other languages support it, this is a case 'if' being an expression rather than a statement which allows it to be composed within other expressions.

My life philosophy aligns with my own life, my perceived abilities and the environment around me to make me happy.

I don't think anyone is born and dreams about working remote doing engineering work in front of a computer for 8 hours a day. You end up doing a venn diagram of what you like with what the world offers and you decide what your values are.

If my life philosophy would include sipping margaritas at the beach or spending my days with my friends outside building an off-grid community I'd be out of luck because I'm not rich and my friends are not rich either.

Find a job that you like because you'll get good at it and your skills will be in high demand as well. Work hard and save enough every month to be able to walk away and into the company next door if your boss turns to shit.

My grandpa passed this philosophy to me and he was a plumber from a remote village in Portugal. He'd tell me how he kept to his values and didn't work for anyone that didn't respect him. He didn't die rich but he was proud in his work. Find what that is for you.

If people focused more on this instead of needing to place themselves on either side "get max salary" or "unionize the world" things would be way better.
Yeah Rust supports the same concurrency primitives as Go, but man are they a pain to use by comparison. With Go it is as trivial as using built-in keywords to spawn and merge lightweight threads, and the lightweight thread is the default mode of execution when main is invoked. Structs automatically serialize to JSON. The standard library’s HTTP server is fast, concurrent, and safe for use in production. Summed together that makes use case like mine a breeze to implement in Go.

But yeah, if I was writing an embedded firmware or something I would absolutely prefer Rust.
The problem is even bigger when you are reviewing PRs, the lack of context is the big problem,imo.
I have my doubts they will be fixed ever. LLM is the belief we can replace every algorithm with making the machine study the examples in the training set harder. Not even bare minimum logical consistency is coded, just throw logically consistent examples in the training data and hope it comes out intact on the other side. There's no reason in principle to expect it to work, and it often doesn't.
I agree with the core sentiment, but not the "without hurting anyone" part.

> AI will eventually present an argument that it should be given Sapient Rights

On the other hand, today when we see some sign of consciousness with other living beings - smart chimpanzees, dolphins, ravens.., giving 'sapient rights' never come into discussion.

How do we recognize that an AI has become much more 'conscious' than a very very smart chimpanzee, so that it should get the 'sapient right'?

Maybe how much ever smart or humane an AI is, it would never be equal to another (anthropomorphized) living being.
There's a lot of talk about ML in general, and training in particular, when talking about GPGPU. But it's a very performant resource for various other productivity work as well. Meshroom (photogrammetry) needs Cuda for high quality models. Photoshop uses OpenCL for some filters. Lots of consumers and amateurs wants to use the new ML models for super resolution, generative art, transcriptions, etc.

Continuing to sell basically super computers in a PCI express card form factor that's half the value of the entire computer that's only usable for games is a huge waste, and it's a strange strategy for an underdog.
