What game runs at only 60 FPS because of a RAM issue? I know I only have a 3600, but if a game is running at 60 FPS it's 99% because of my GPU, not the RAM.

Most games still run at 90+ FPS, I would love to have ECC RAM to prevent a potential one-off crash or just to know that the RAM didn't report an error when it happened. I would pay money for this!

Better yet, the 3d cache CPUs don't care about RAM speed as much, according to benchmarks
The current distribution mechanisms (wonderful softwares like gitea) let people mirror, but if the primary host goes down there's no easy fall-over.

If governments do try to get things removed on Nostr they're going to have a much much harder time. Folks can re-pop-up on different relays. Governments can keep playing whack-a-mole but I have hard time seeing they'll have any success. Your post makes it sound like a government can snap it's fingers & every relay will magically stop carrying content: that seems wildly out of touch to me, seems to be way different from what I'd expect when this situation crops up.

Not needing to host is a critical change of the game here, in my view.
Fully functional opengl was not exactly the issue, or not the only one

Opengl was stagnating at the time vendors started a feature wars. On opengl you can have vendor specific extensions, because it was meant for tightly integrated hardware and software. Vendors started leaning heavily on extensions to one up each other.

The cronus group took ages to get up and standardize modern features

By that time gl_ext checks became nightmarishly complicated and cross compatibility was further damaged by vendors lying about their actual gl_ext support, where drivers started claiming support for things the hardware could do, but using the ext causes the scene to not look right or outright crash

Developers looked at that and no wonder they didn't want to take part in any of it

This all beautifully exploded a few year later when compiz started taking a foothold which required this or that gl_ext and finally caused enough rage to get cronus working at bringing back under control the mess

By that time ms were already at directx 9, you could use xlna to target different architectures, and it brought networking and io libraries with it making it a very convenient development environment

*this is all a recollection from the late nineties early 2k and it's by now a bit blurred, it's hard to fill in the details on the specific exts Nvidia was the one producing the most but it's not like the blame is on them, Maxtor and ATI wonky support to play catch up was overall more damaging. Ms didn't need to really do much to win hearts with dx.
Space-based nuclear weapons surveillance systems monitor for X-ray burst and the characteristic double-flash pattern. Neither would be present in the case of a meteor, which would rule out a nuclear detonation immediately. Infrared systems likely would detect the meteor entering but the projected flight path would be, well, unreasonable for a missile.
Ask HN: Why has functional programming become so popular oustide academia?
Why is functional programming the new thing suddenly? Why are industries also vouching for it and slowly shifting from pure imperative code to as much functional as possible.

And I am not talking about functional languages like Haskell, OcaML, etc. It is the style of avoiding state wherever possible.

I get it that academia has been programming functionally for quite a long time. Academia do many things that seem weird at the moment but later may become fruitful in practical settings.
Considering this, it's no surprise that ChatGPT seems so threatening to much of the publishing industry.
Most the reskilling will ironically be in knowledge workers who will be forced into skilled physical labor. AI plumbers are a lot further out than most other forms of AI workers.

Morevec's paradox rearing it's ugly head again
Well you might be farming again when you have nothing left to do?

I'm sure a shit not going to be laid off due a robot and do nothing about it, I'll be doing whatever I need to do to survive, this might be farming and living a simpler life, even if it's considered a step backwards, I have really no idea how far it will go.

My theory is however, I'll be either building AIs, or developing new ones, helping optimize them etc.

I'm not really sold that we're going to every create an AGI that can reason and will just want to sit in a box all day and work for humans, I think there are some serious ethical considerations there too.

So as long as we're not talking about sentience, these thing are systems, and there will be demand for new and improved systems.
Using mobile, i received a page with a big face of the author with blah about him surrounded by all sorts of big "login with" overlays and advertisement.
Obviously, i jumped to conclusions too quickly as my second attempt after reading your comment presented a slick & clean page with relevant information. ( And no half of the screen filling signup / login overlays ) Hence the "apologies" in the message above.

Regarding your inquiry; because it allows for the original author to do mutations and calculations on (your) data carried or distributed by untrusted third parties.
This way someone could for example provide updates while being at less risk.
Various asymmetries between the amount of data dumped and the amount of resulted output could also be helpful in certain niche scenarios.

I used geographic arbitrage - i.e. living in Poland and living modestly (no family), while mostly earning Western world wages ($100k-$170k a year). That's what made it possible while taking plenty of breaks between jobs for the sake of sanity. If you're in the US, probably try landing into a FAANG? You need to make a lot of post-tax money relative to your spending for this to be feasible. Ideally, you'd be saving 80%+ of your post-tax income.
Not being messed with and minding one’s own business are one’s only true human rights.

Everything after that must be fought for as a liberty.
Most people outside of the USA and the UK have to learn at least one non-native language: English.

I would like to study that code - wold you like to put that code on github or can you link to any similar example? Thank you very much!
Is Linux taking a conservative approach because they're ignoring the DPTF? Why is this not a problem on Windows?
As polyglot agency, we use Java for UNIX workloads, .NET is having its Python 2 / 3 moment with .NET Framework / Core, and plenty of stuff in large enterprises will probably never migrate. It is no accident that Microsoft is doing all the blog posts about how internal teams are migrating, or eventually started coming up with porting tools, which in the beggining they refused to provide (like in WCF's case). [0]

And even so, plenty of Microsoft products like Dynamics, SharePoint, VS, SQL Server CLR, are yet to make the transition to .NET Core.

So when doing UNIX workloads, we rather use languages what were created and grew up on that environment.

Visual Studio for .NET, Eclipse for Java, VSCode for node/devops (any of them for C++ workloads if needed as well), are basically how things go over here.

[0] - To be fair, Java is also having its Python 2 / 3 moment with anything beyond Java 8. Finally got to deploy Java 11 LTS into production (hurray!).
I mean, if visitors don't convert to value for you, why even bother making a site?
Why does society have mathematicians right now? It's some mix of "the people find mathematics intellectually worthwhile" (public universities) and "we sometimes need to ask them to solve hard problems". If AI makes it less intellectually interesting, the first reason goes away. If engineers can just ask the AI to solve a hard problem instead of the mathematician, they don't need the mathematician as a middle man. So AI also breaks this reason.

> I suspect most human effort will be spent inventing new ways to push the AI further.

Assuming the AI can't just do that itself too.
That's a very interesting article. I've yet to look into AI much at all but I can see how this aspect might be useful in at least gaining some insight to issues people are struggling with and potentially helping folks.
arghhhh seriously, that simple?
I'd say a boring quine would be one around the empty file. I bet there's enough lenient scripting languages to arguably make a decently sized quine.

Exactly, the CPUs run much more loosely on Windows than on Linux. It shouldn't be too difficult to correct this...
web app work well,
The moment I laid eyes on the grainy thumbnail with the hard drive in frame, I recognized it:

A Quantum Fireball.

Full-size image: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg...

Something about the sticker placement and black lettering directly applied to the metal cover, I've never seen another hard drive with a similar aesthetic.

Those drives worked well, I still have a 40gb IDE PATA Quantum Fireball out in the garage and about 3 years ago I tested it and this baby still worked!

Funny how my brain latches onto the seemingly randomest things and patterns, but for stuff I want to actually remember, it can be a struggle..
We don't observe almost all real number either. We observe some rational numbers. All these infinite number of unobservable real numbers is just waste /s
"costless to produce"

No, making coins or dollars, particularly the type which is resistant to counter-fitting, takes an awful lot of money to produce. Hell, pennies are worth significantly more than their face value, hence why we have people calling to ban the penny all the time!
The only data I can find is here, which is regional: https://theamericangenius.com/housing/big-data/these-50-us-c...

Austin is at 11 with 150k housing starts, Dallas is first at 320k starts for SFHs, 133k vs 233k for MFH. Austin is growing at 25%, Dallas at 15%. But Dallas area is 7.6 million vs Austin Area at 2.35 million. So while Dallas is building more in absolute terms, it isn’t in relative terms.
Who Cares About Functional Programming?
I've come around a bit to Nostr. I like the general idea here, actually.

But asking for a github replacement seems like way too much scope. Github is millions of people-hours of work, does a crazy large amount of stuff.

Just start with some basics: can I get a stream of commits from someone? Can I send patches ("pull requests") to someone? Find some managable goals, and build protocols forwards.

The product minded "deliver me a complete replacement for a whole (& massive) product" is a harm-inducing act that obstructs incremental growth & genuine sucess. Nostr has NIPS, Nostr Improvememt Possibilities (NIPS)- trying to coax some wildcard team into writing either one massive NIPS and a huge product or a sea of closely interlocked NIPS and a huge product is going to cause longstanding damage & an inability to grow this organic system out right.

If those communities were moving to London they would be doing fine. The unemployment rate in the UK is really low. It doesn't mean that a job will show up at your doorstep without having to do anything.
> That CPU will degrade over time

I overvolted and overclocked pretty much every chip I've owned from my 20 year old Athlon 64 to my 0 year old RTX 4090. None of them have degraded. If you watch overclocking livestreams you'll see just how much abuse it takes to get any sort of reaction from silicon.
I don't understand what's so difficult about this.

Why is Intel not providing the documentation? And what is it so difficult to reverse engineer?

Is this tool correctly reading the DPTF data and correcting for it?
Pretty sneaky huh?
I recommend using tmux mode and adding its keybind to locked mode, that way you get the same key interactions as tmux itself. Sadly, zellij doesn't offer the same options for which key that will be (in screen and tmux I like using C-] cause it's usually unused, but you can't use that one in zellij)
Pencils can be replaced, and the handwriting skill is not that difficult to transfer to the non-dominant hand.

That makes sense but for some reason in my eyes it seems weird as a verb; the noun “disservice” is more common, or saying something is “doing a disservice to” something
Do you reckon LLMs will or already have improved upon ode/bio mechanistic modelling?
I think Mr. Andreessen is up to something here: we can use regulation to...well, the word is not "control", but more like "intervene" in the impact of AI. Which I think we should, I for example would hate for killer drones to be less regulated than life-saving drugs.
I don't see why not its basically a 386/33 performance wise. Why not just use PCem + OBS? If you go the mister route, the $50 capture box from EVGA works a dream. I'm able to get simultaneous component and HDMI using the analog add-on board. I run the HDMI out to a splitter then one output to HDMI>VGA for CRT monitor. The remaining HDMI cable to a capture box and pass through to my desk monitor. Lastly component in to a CRT TV. It all just works, at the same time.
Just answered it above. Sorry for being so slow, i was away from my desk.
Intel ship DPTF drivers for Windows, so the appropriate thermal policy is configured at boot time. If you install thermald then Linux will do the same.
It is corrected on Linux. Just install thermald.
I'd say that applies extremely rarely. When success depends on putting in the work (which is most often the case, especially if you have a higher aptitude than most), giving up easily is a major impediment.

I say this as someone who had this problem myself. Always being told "things come so easily to you" made me immediately avoid everything where I didn't excel out of the gate.
Diablo 2 was actually programmed to run at 25 fps.

Diablo 2: Resurrected allows you to switch between the new 4k60fps graphics and the original - it's fascinating to see the difference.
My understanding is you order it from the manufacturer. They for the past couple years have claimed a lead time of 4-6 weeks but consistently shipped in 10 days or so. No idea the current situation.
> Open core is the only way to really monetize open-source software.

Red Hat has built a business on free software without resorting to open core. Why can't anyone else (according to you)?
I can't see how functional programming is becoming popular. I see how functional programming paradigms trickle down in more popular programming languages like C#, Javascript and Kotlin but I don't see functional languages making much progress towards adoption.

And apart from small circles in academia, they mainly use Java and Python.
That's awesome! I've been reluctant to create an account so this let's me play around a bit without having to do that.

Thank you for sharing this here.
In the distant past I've worked on a fork of a Redmine plugin for such an use-case:

* Redmine: https://www.redmine.org/

* Plugin: https://github.com/marius-balteanu/redmine_redcaser

My opinion: It's not worth it to try to stick all possible functionality into one tool. And the plugin architecture in general is horrible if the plugin is not maintained by the same group as the core since support will end quickly when the plugin maintainer goes away, or the core having too many breaking changes between major versions.

Advice: get a dedicated tool. Whether paid or self hosted it should be made specifically for test case management, and stay away from any tool that has a community plugin architecture

I did expect them to talk because I read, and also listened in this video, that users are thrilled to talk with the founders of the product they use.

I can understand what you say about unhappy users, they are the hardest to establish a conversation with, in fact, I had yet no luck with them.

I also try to contact my most engaged and paying users, very little luck there.

So, either everyone is laying (very unlikely), or I'm doing something wrong.
By default Linux is taking no approach at all, which means the thermal policy is the most conservative the firmware can configure. If you install thermald then Linux will implement the same policy that Windows does and should have the same performance.
It's a terrible & self-interested & small-minded design philosophy making awful trade-offs. It's an actively dangerous way of building, to the exclusion of allowing possibility, and for false gain ("no new major versions but it will totally change maybe & no one else has freedom").

I use strong terms because this breaks so many internet ethos, logos, & pathos. Picking the narrowest path should be warded & hazarded against in strong terms. This reaction is emotional because it's terrible terrible choices.

Postel's Law[1] has come under fire from some pretty conservative-minded viewsets (and frankly I'be rarely been persuaded by the angst against permit-if-you-can), but this is a next level assault on loose-coupling, a stark new frontier in reserving almost all possibility for yourself. My description while strong is accurate in many ways: this is brutally narrow. This is an extremeist perspective that json schema is embarking towards, snubbing basic protocol design & rejecting a non-harmful extensibility that cost them nothing (besides needing to tick a major version to make a major change).

We have union types defined in fastapi/pydantic and they do show up in the api explorer. Tagged unions don't work but I think that's more to do with us/python than openapi.
Are you talking about the bumpy feeling when moving your hand along the chassis? I get that on a metal-body Dell sometimes too. And it doesn't seem to happen if I press hard while moving my hand.
I made a docker image with a number of extensions already installed and enabled so you can start using DuckDB with the lowest friction.

`alias dckr='docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data -w /data duckerlabs/ducker'`

then `dckr` gives you a DuckDB shell with PRQL, httpfs, json, parquet, postgres, sqlite, and substrait enabled.

For example, to get the first 5 lines of a csv file named "albums.csv", you could run it with PRQL

```dckr -c 'from `albums.csv` | take 5;'```

The many worlds are not an additional feature of MWI compared to other interpretations. They all have them in the math. In pilot wave theories they are just claimed to not be real, yet they affect things. In objective collapse theories they disappear when measured.
Thats what many did and they're not doing fine though. One of the reasons London became so unlivable was so many people have to move there especially early in careers just to get a job. Which has a bonus effect of draining the original communities and speeding up the feedback loop.
Fond memories of web startups using these in aftermath of the dot com bust, such as Euroweb in Norway early 2000's.
> It shouldn't be too difficult to correct this...

In the sense of "You can install thermald and it will be corrected", yes. In the sense of "The only reason this works on Linux is that I reverse engineered the Intel spec because Intel refuses to publish it", then I'd disagree with the characterisation that it shouldn't have been too difficult, because it was really pretty difficuly.
There are still several languages that don't use spaces. Like Thai and Cambodian. Both of these languages are very analytic - they use short words, which makes it easier.

The actual problem without using spaces is not that humans can't read it, it's that computers can't read it (without at least complete dictionary and maybe some AI help). GNU aspell for instance does not support languages that don't use spaces.

We use Elasticsearch to store a vast amount of JSON documents in a specific format. Elasticsearch uses a strict schema to validate new items. Those documents are generated and used by several downstream projects. We have a single JSON schema installable as a package in all of our projects which is used in unit tests, and converted to the Elasticsearch schema format for reindexing. Effectively, this ensures we only have compatible documents in the index; all applications running in prod are verified to be able to handle them.
Thus, we use JSON schema as an universally valid way to exchange the data schema.

I believe we can solve it by having robots buying the goods. They should be able to process it into trash just as well as a human could /s
You make it sound like there are no other factors. People like where they are. They like their communities. They may dislike cities, and they may not have the means to move to them even if they did like them. You dont seem to understand the absolutely rapid pace of change over the last 200 years.
> Gordon Campbell grew up in Minnesota, and as there wasn’t a market for technology there at the time, he felt he needed to go to Silicon Valley in 1976.

That seems like a bit of anachronistic Silicon Valley mythology. Wasn't Minnesota something like the "Silicon Valley" of mainframes at the time? There were several then-major computer companies there: CDC, Cray, Honeywell, IBM, Univac, etc.
Doubtful. Pfizer manufacturer 4B and Moderna almost the same. Plus Fosun-BioNTech partnership allowed manufacturing in Hong Kong. There was certainly capacity to produce enough or at least enough for a large percentage of the Chinese population.

China just decided they weren't going to use it. It literally wasn't allowed.

If China had used a mix of mRNA and other vaccines I might see the argument they had a lack of supply.
The main argument presented in the blog is flawed. The assertion that "regulated" industries perform worse than "unregulated" because of regulation is not backed by any evidence provided. The graphs only demonstrate that labor-intensive sectors experience a proportional increase in cost with an increase in average labor cost, which is not particularly surprising.

Regarding the question of whether AI will cause unemployment, it is poorly framed. It is better to break it down into three distinct questions. First, will AI displace some current jobs? Second, will AI create new jobs? And third, will the balance of jobs be negatively affected?

When posed in this manner, it is reasonable to assume a "yes" response to the first two questions and an "unknown" response to the third.
