Putin sees the Kyiv regime as Westernized. He doesn't directly state this as a single line, but you don't need to look too deep in his statements to understand this. Unless you're thinking he's talking about someone else when talking about far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis here.

"Focused on their own goals, the leading NATO countries are supporting the far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine, those who will never forgive the people of Crimea and Sevastopol for freely making a choice to reunite with Russia."

"Any further expansion of the North Atlantic alliance’s infrastructure or the ongoing efforts to gain a military foothold of the Ukrainian territory are unacceptable for us." What foothold would he be talking about here if not a Westernization of the regime in Kyiv?

"...are supporting the far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine"

> because that's certainly not about "Ukrainians" in the sense that you keep on implying.

What nationality are those people who are those "far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine"? Isn't he referring to the regime in Kyiv and its supporters with this language? Is Zelenskyy not a Ukrainian? Are those people in the Ukrainian army with the Ukrainian flag on their uniforms not Ukrainian? What nationality are those nationalists supposedly fighting for? Talk about gaslighting.

Customers hate paying subscriptions, but I don't see any alternative under capitalism.

Someone makes a piece of software. What are they supposed to do, just close up shop and fire everyone when it's "done?" You need people to maintain the software. Fix bugs. Add new features.

The expenses for the company do not end. Therefore it can't operate if its revenues end. If every customer only pays money to the company exactly once, it would have to be an absurd amount for the company to be sustainable in the long run.

The only way it's going to work is if there's a steady predictable influx of cash, and that means subscriptions.

If someone thinks they have a real solution to this problem, message me. I want in on it.

However, almost any protest could be labeled as a disruption of some sort. Furthermore, when it comes to laws, this was exactly what the protest was about. They were contesting the authority of the government to take certain actions in manners that many perceived as unlawful.

> Once again, the solution to high inflation isn't Fed monetary policy, it's taxation. Corporate profits windflal tax at a punitive rate and income distribution to those worst affected.

That sounds like a great way to push companies to invest even less into disaster preparedness. Why bother pay extra money into supplying your supply chain for the next supply disruption, when you know that you'll get painted as profiteers by the government and slapped with a windfall tax? It's far better to run your business as lean as possible during the good times and extract all the money you can without the risk of being villanized.

What theoretical merit? It sounds like a completely made up rule of thumb based off of a persons anecdotal experience.
Anki, imo, already has an open algorithm (that the user can change via plugins), universal interfaces, and is "self-hosted". My eyes perked up at REST api, but it doesn't look like there's a centralized server that hosts shared cards, which is where my mind went.

I'm building https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive/ which is basically Anki + Github + Reddit; people can optionally upload their cards for others to download/fork, and the most popular cards rise to the top. It's FLOSS, offline-first, supports plugins and p2p syncing, and is very much a WIP. My proof of concept is almost done though, which demos the critical technologies in a secure way.
I for one didn't know the political views of my professors -- it simply never came up.

Everyone is going to comment on how ironic it is that Bloomberg, which sells subscriptions, published this article. Please don't let this comment thread turn into a thousand repetitions of this trite observation.

Because it's not ironic.

A news publication being willing to publish articles critical of itself is a good thing. It means it's a healthy publication. Whether you like Bloomberg or not, we should be applauding it for being willing to publish self criticism.
> Overall, we don't see JPEG-XL performing enough better than its closest competitors (like AVIF) to justify addition on that basis alone

The progressive enhancement feature alone could be quite amazing, and its competitors don’t offer that- No more thumbnail generation! Its competitors can’t offer that! Do they realize how many security holes everyone’s use of “ImageTragick” generates, and how much caching infrastructure is devoted to images?

also, how does he fail to see this as a potential competitive advantage over browser competitors?

People sometimes talk about it in terms of exams in the sense that they'd achieve a first overall if that exam was 'it', or that it brings their average up etc. - but strictly speaking you can only achieve first class (or any other) honours for the degree as a whole. It's commonly (but not necessarily) >70% overall. Equivalent to achieving some high GPA range.

Show HN: AI Runner v1.8.4 Stable Diffusion: controlnet, drawing tools and more
AI Runner is a project I have been working on for several months. It allows users to use Stable Diffusion locally on their own hardware without the need to install any additional dependencies (such as python, drivers etc).

It is currently limited to nvidia hardware and generates 512x512 images in approximately 2 seconds on an RTX 2080s.

Here's what has changed since last time I posted about it:

- Switched from tkinter to PyQT for better performance

- Removed image gallery and model database as these were bloat

- Added support for textual inversion (embeddings)

- Added support for controlnet

- Added drawing and erasing tools

- Added layers

- Added a dark mode theme

- Improved model downloading experience

- Added better support for file saving / exporting / importing

- Fixed lots of bugs

If you're looking for an easy way to run Stable Diffusion that doesn't require any technical knowledge and offers an infinite canvas for easy outpainting, be sure to check it out.

> Or write a custom little program that streams data from the JSON file without buffering it all in memory. JSON parsing libraries are plentiful so this should not take a lot of code in your favorite language.

Several years ago I wrote a paper [1] on representing the parse tree of a JSON document in a tiny fraction of the JSON size itself, using succinct data structures. The representation could be built with a single pass of the JSON, and basically constant additional memory.

The idea was to pre-process the JSON and then save the parse tree, so it could be kept in memory over several passes of the JSON data (which may not fit in memory), avoiding to re-do the parsing work on each pass.

I don't think I've seen this idea used anywhere, but I still wonder if it could have applications :)

It would also -- totally coincidentally -- ensure that the competing powerful families would not remain strong enough to threaten Caesar but I'm sure that wasn't his intention. Caesar was an honourable man, after all.

Well first, this is a problem that's gone regardless in fifty years. After the fat ripple has left our demography, there will be many vacant homes, lots of wide open highways, plenty of arable land, all to be attained for little by this shrinking population.

Second, this "crisis" is entirely brought upon themselves by the generation that will have want for people to "support them". Cut out elderly healthcare and the majority of your shortage is gone.

Third, there are plenty of people available for this support, as many of the jobs these youngsters do today are only done because they are very attractive in the current economic system. If the population as a whole agrees that this "crisis" is indeed a crisis, there is enough labor to step up.

I'm not sure why there is an assumption that the health care is good in Portugal. Purely annecdotal, the only Portuguese person I know moved to UK to work as a cleaner. She couldn't find work in Portugal that would pay enough to allow her to survive. Also she moved her dad over too because he need health care and needed to be near family. I've never looked into, I just assumed that the economy and it's health care aren't great.

With the economic downturn coming, companies are really going to ask themselves who's necessary. Those white collar workers that have plenty of leisure time are going to suddenly be out of work, and will be forced into the blue collar market, only they are going to have to compete with blue collar workers that have been in the market for many more years than they have. Guess who the company's are going to hire...

As for the white collar workers that made the cut, their job isn't going to be as cozy. You're trading in back-breaking work for mental-straining work with severe time constraints.
Some will blame Google for the demise of JPEG XL, but I think that's a red herring. JPEG XL includes Google technologies such as Pik and Guetzli/Brunsli. Some of the JXL developers are Google employees. Google doesn't have a profit motive to promote one format over another. Their upper management most likely isn't even aware that JPEG XL exists. It also doesn't explain why Mozilla and Apple are favoring AVIF too.

Nonetheless, there's no question that JPEG XL was sabotaged. AVIF was enabled by default in Chrome the day it was implemented, JXL had to go through an experimental period. At some point, Mozilla developers were told to stop working on improving their JXL implementation and they couldn't even merge already developed patches.[1]

Google's justifications for the removal were baffling. They said there's "not enough interest" despite all the hype, all the major companies requesting JXL support.[2] They claimed JXL doesn't bring "sufficient benefits", despite the numerous advantages, such as lossless JPEG recompression. They published their flawed[3] benchmarks weeks after they made the decision to remove JPEG XL.

BTW, the removal happened immediately after Adobe announced they are supporting JPEG XL in one of their products. Almost as if they realized that JXL may be gaining too much support and it's time to pull the plug.

So who's behind this if not Google? To me, the most likely suspect is AOM, the Alliance for Open Media. The people who are involved in AOM also the ones who make the decisions in the browsers. What are their motives? I don't know, pettiness? Maybe they just want their format to win.

I've had a different take on this that goes "Zero, One, Many." And that when you end up really using your software, the things that were "one" often become "many," and the unthinkable zeroes frequently became ones.
It’s OK. The truth is that even seasoned C/C++ developers can’t write safe C/C++ code. Otherwise exploits wouldn’t exist and static analysis wouldn’t be necessary.

What are you building with Rust?
"Nope." An "algorithm" can be about things other than memory allocation. Say you have a collection of sensors the you poll. ZOI is saying that the system that polls them shouldn't[1] have some kind of hard assumption that there will only ever be, say, specifically 4. You could still statically allocate the storage on a given system, for example in an embedded system where the software is compile-time configured for a given hardware.

However, if you pass the "poll_sensors" function a size of 60 million when the system was designed for "about 4, I guess", it's likely that you're operating the algorithm in a regime it wasn't designed for. You may (or may not, this is just another trade-off) wish to know about it.

[1]: of course you can always construct exceptions. If you follow every rule you subscribe to dogmatically, then you're doing something more akin to religion then engineering.

iwp9 PC chair here :). Please feel free to ask any questions you have.

Plan 9-related technologies are hiding in a lot of places. For example, the UTF-8 encoding is ubiquitous today and the 9p protocol is used in many places, e.g. to exchange files between virtual machines guests and the host machine. Accordingly, we thought a new edition of the workshop would be great to have.

So after ten years without iwp9 (and with Covid), we're back on track and managed to attract quite a number of interesting submissions. The workshop has a broad focus on Plan 9-related technologies and the topics include:

- Storage and file systems

- Name spaces and security

- Reducing the resource overhead for Plan 9-related technologies

- Ports to new (and old!) hardware architectures

- New software for Plan 9

We have reserved lots of time for interaction, discussion, hacking and networking. If you are interested, on behalf of the organizing committee I would be happy to meet you in Waterloo, ON, Canada in April (21st-23rd) - thanks to our host Ali José Mashtizadeh.
That doesn't support the claims about 'negativity' and especially about 'maximum tolerable'.

I strongly agree. My taste in classical music in my formative years calcified around the 1940s mainly because I couldn't easily obtain sheet music any more modern. I think it's crazy that I lack appreciation, taste, and exposure to nearly a century of music (with some exceptions) simply because of copyright law.
Well, if you are implementing something like ASIO, and of course c++ is a good language for that, you'll be dealing with sockets directly.
I appreciate the response, but yeah I just don’t buy that 4chan is better on any axis ever, especially for important world news. I see and acknowledge that you lack trust in mainstream news and your government, and there’s probably a longer story there, but I think it’s objectively false to claim you’ll find more truth on 4chan than mainstream news. It might be fair to say that certain subjects will be discussed that you wouldn’t see on TV, then again there’s almost no way to tell, and the stuff on 4chan is is rarely if ever made by people with any qualifications or expertise in the subject.

This twisted argument seems to be claiming that 4chan is more trustworthy because it’s less trustworthy. But you’re demonstrating a double standard. If you can excuse and overlook the unending ocean of fake news and propaganda and bullshit on 4chan, then it’s only fair and consistent to do the same for mainstream news, where it’s also true that not everything is propaganda. You’re whole complaint boils down to you writhing against the “pretense”, but why does that matter, exactly? You either care about the truth or not, so the reputation shouldn’t be a factor for you, especially if you seek information from disreputable sources.
I think this is a good perspective - it follows the general approach in software engineering that if you're going to introduce something with a massively different approach, learning curve, and cost of adoption, it needs to come with the associated real-world benefits.

For most software stuff it would be very hard the benefit of introducing this stuff vs. what the standard paradigms that everyone already knows
The financial system has put a lot of effort into automation obliviously because it means they make more money. So to the extent that they could be automated, they are automated and will continue to increase the level of automation.

It’s also not a reasonable comparison because banks do something useful (even if I think they could be much better regulated and are too profitable and shouldn’t be running the payment system).

Crypto does nothing useful, it’s like an online casino, or an online game.
