I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying that you can still have races and thus still need some form of synchronization even when using async/await. Whilst in simple cases you can preserve invariants just by carefully choosing where an await is done, as things get more complex you constantly run the risk that someone will introduce another await somewhere else (and maybe more async marked functions to enable that), without understanding that the 'await' can now run code that violates some invariants. Locks and other such mechanisms let you mark certain code as executing atomically regardless of scheduling.
Dark Sky was good, but had it's strange quirks too. On top of that some features were undiscoverable - for example it was possible to click bubbles on the right side of the graph to get detailed view of the hour. Very useful, I stumbled on it randomly after years of use.

Weather has same information, presented a bit in a different way. Sure, I think they could have done better job.

Most important component, however, are the models they use. Weather/Dark Sky models are good, but at some moment they diverge from Wundeground - another app I use. So I started paying for Windy, which allows you to see a view with 6 (!) different models. I'm not sure why I need that, but I love having this feature.
Not only are Pine hard to find stock of, but I've basically never heard of a well-built Pine64 product, and that's coming from someone with three of them. They're all buggy, flimsy, doorstops at this point. Whereas my biggest complaints about Pis are that (1) I broke a plastic case for one of mine while it was in a moving box, oops, (2) SD cards are a pain in the butt and fragile.
yeah, watch for heat though. (I didn't have that specific model, but I had one overheat in a hot summer day ...)

in my personal life i'm basically a pretty mellow and passive guy. in running a business however, i'm nice to genuinely nice people (not 'niceguys') and an absolute galaxy-sized asshole to jerks, because generally they're coming after something of mine or my team's and not at all subtle about it.

when peoples' livelihoods and money are on the line there's absolutely no backing down or you're going to get chewed up by these kinds of people.

it's the sociopathic types you really have to worry about because they're both at the same time. the only upside to a jerk is they're transparent and it's usually not personal, they're just a jerk to everyone.
> Consider the comparison images

To be honest, I strongly prefer the CS:GO image. It looks more interesting, with better contrast and a spookier feel to it. It even has details where the CS2 image doesn't, like the grating on the floor on the left side.

The CS:GO version reads more cinematic to me, while the CS2 seems cartoony/gamey even though they might have improved the geometry (I can't tell).
> I wish we could have open platforms that competitive players can extend and develop without owning outright and excluding other competitors.

Who will pay for the development of those platforms? Who will ensure the compatibility with hardware?
Bandwidth on the macs is pretty good. M2 = 100GB/sec peak, M2 pro = 200GB/sec peak, M2 Max = 400GB/sec peak.

A $3k lenovo thinkpad p16 uses DDR4-4800 or 76.8GB/sec peak. That also ignores the arm relaxes memory model, which means you get (on average) a greater fraction of peak bandwidth when running something memory intensive.

So apple does 1.3x, 2.6x, or 5.2x better. On a desktop you can get another 2x with the M1 Extreme. Seems quite a bit better than "Pretty ok", it's a big part of why the apple's get great GPU performance compared to Intel/AMD laptops with an iGPU and run at a small fraction of the power of the dGPUs used in laptops.
There was the Floodgap guy who got Macos running on the Power9 desktop boards.

Yeah they’re completely and totally different things. Fly.io is actually hosting servers / services, while MRSK is basically a bunch of scripts to deploy things using Docker containers.

It’s like comparing AWS with Chef. Maybe there’s some overlap in philosophy, but that’s about it. Maybe fly.io is just using it as a way to do a bit of marketing.

> I'm not sure how manually "blasting cold" to keep raw meat in the back cold also doesn't freeze you in the front, or what that has to do with auto mode, but we typically don't have groceries in the car for more than about 20 minutes and don't worry about it. I know people who have a much longer trip to get groceries and they use a plug-in cooler; that seems like a more sensible option.

Ofc you can have a cooler, but that eats up space, and not all grocery trips are planned. Re 20 min - sounds like you are lucky - if you get into a traffic jam you might get stuck.

How it helps - not a universal feature but you can often adjust heat/cool for back/front, I've also seen it where each seat gets their own climate control knobs.

Regarding MAX - that's nice, but that's not auto, which was my point.

And yeah glasses definitely help - I love my transitions for that reason. But display tech matters here - glossy vs matted, and in my experience glossy holds up a bit better under sun while matted holds up better to e.g. night city driving. Backlights are important too - but again to my point this is all overcomplicated and a knob is just easier/cheaper/less prone to breakage.

It's nice you have an auto mode that 'works great' but as you admit there are a fair number of cars where that's just not true. I suspect in part that's because this is a difficult problem, that is partly self mfg. And I don't think most people at dealerships have time to test it to the degree you seem to have (although you didn't mention how it handles in open air, i.e. with sunroof or retractable hood) - a knob is something I can test in 5 min and know it "just works".
Complaint about a Unicode consortium decision from 2006 on external link symbol contrasting it with either legacy symbols (for an ability to encode any previously encoded text using prior encodings) or with a significantly more recent emoji push.

Ah - I see. Yeah, raw performance was (and is) really an enabling feature with gfx chips.
That is a very wrong view of something that communicates so closely with the hardware and deals with graphics.

It's very much chasing a moving target of new graphics technology and many of the innovations made by Wayland have been ported to Xorg. The interesting thing is that screen tearing used to be a problem on Xorg but never was on Wayland but much of the technology responsible for that has now found it's way into Xorg to make it a thing of the past there too. Of course integration with new hardware drivers is also required.

It's entirely possible it will continue to be maintained that way, or that the Wayland philosophy will finally be broken and these things will be added once they realize there is a great enough demand, but these are all possibilities, not certainties.
Congrats on the launch y'all, this is very neat! This was obviously a big effort.

I'm excited to see how the introduction of AI will change the way integrations are built, maintained, and well, integrated.

Cheers!

They are bragging about 1m developers on copilot, let's say 20$/m to be generous - that's 20m$/month - they probably have larger single client revenues than that and I doubt copilot is high margin (I bet I spend more than 10$/month in compute by the queries I generate).

Unless this goes to hundreds of dollars/month (which I would pay if it was a good experience) I don't see this making a dent.

> I don't know what magical world is denied my kids but they sure seem to think it existed.

My father in the 90s was able to afford a SAHM with two children and a car on the salary of a low-level police officer, and by the time he was 30, to buy a large 3BR+kitchen+living room flat in Munich.

I'm as old as he was back when he bought that, and I have absolutely zero in savings, with the combined income of my s/o and me barely keeping up with rent and cost of living despite earning above average in an IT job. I couldn't afford to have a car but thankfully don't need it as public transport in Munich is actually worth the name. No, moving out of Munich is not really an option, as house prices and rents have exploded just the same in the entire area and rural areas are, as I described, absolutely left to rot in terms of infrastructure.

The world back then may indeed have not been as rosy as many of my generation paint it - but it sure was objectively better than today. Our only hope is that we can inherit something from our parents, assuming that there is something left over after elderly care will have robbed them of all their savings and assets.
“Real distinction” is a semantic game. In fact how we label the numbers is all semantic games.

We’re insulating an aging gerontocracy at the expense of the next generation.

That’s ageism.

We’re on the hook for their contracts, their businesses agreements. I never signed anything.

They’ve successfully leveraged their propaganda spewing media companies to convince us to coddle them and fuck the next generation; no one else matters!

That’s the only real thing going on here. Everything else is semantic games.

A bunch of elders raised in a more religious era built “flocks” of employees whose agency they exploit to avoid real work.
RCP 8.5 was never realistic, because there’s a point when accumulated disasters will limit industrial output (and therefore emissions), due to resource wars, famine, and instability.

The problem is that the IPCC doesn’t factor in climatic tipping points. When we pass 2°, chances are, we’ll accelerate toward 3-5 and beyond.

Yes, I saw the article in Quanta.

Issue here: Click-bait headlines. Uh, I go to the Quanta Web site ~once a day. I respect Quanta enough not to get torqued at any of their headlines. Also there I pay attention to what fields of content (usually science) and not much to the headlines. For the fields, I tend to pass over medical, social, psychological, and biological sciences and stay with math, physics, cosmology, and engineering, and it is easy enough to guess the field of the content without getting torqued at the headlines. Soooo, net, at Quanta I don't object to their headlines.

For the article under discussion, yup, it is in the field of "combinatorics". I bumped into that field while scheduling the fleet at FedEx, in grad school, and in some business problems since. Result: Combinatorics is one heck of a challenge, both in the theory of the pure math (and the field can quickly become pure math, e.g., number theory) and also in the applications in business. In practice we squeak by with a little in theory and a lot in intuitive heuristics and relatively blind enumeration (that exploits powerful computing).

So, it would be nice, maybe a biggie in various respects, to have some major progress in combinatorics.

So, in such an attack, sure, it would be nice for someone some afternoon to have some big insight, bigger than heap sort instead of bubble sort, the fast Fourier transform instead of the direct approach, of error correcting codes instead of just three copies, etc. So, here is an invitation: Get a sharp, soft pencil, a big, soft eraser, a pad of paper, lean back, put feet up, and have some of the needed big ideas!!! All are invited and welcome!!!

After some decades, we are still looking for that big insight!! So, what now? How to modify the attack?

One way is, chip away at the problem wherever can see can get something new and apparently relevant, connected, or just anywhere in combinatorics -- or just follow the standard good research criteria of "new, correct, and significant" but at least in sight of the ballpark of combinatorics.

So, with that approach, the results in the current Quanta article are an example of the desired and welcome progress.
What about Blade Runner, Neuromancer and Cyberpunk 2077?
But they do have a problem… it’s the precipitous cliff they are hesitantly approaching.

The classic notion of supply and demand as a smooth continuous curve is a massive oversimplification… as Apple raises prices (in order to improve prorated margins) they impact the demand in complex ways that are hard to predict. For instance… I happily bought three sets of AirPods… until the inflation and exchange rates … literally doubled the price… it was expensive but worth it at a bit over $250 AUD… and I eagerly got some as soon as I could… but at just under $500 AUD… fuck off, I’ll keep replacing, the case and individual left/right ear pods until Apple stops letting me… because the new ones are no longer worth it as an up front cost. And it goes further…

I was considering a new watch band since I was going to try and get to the gym more, having a watch band that’s better suited to this seemed logical… then while in the store I realised that these fucking assholes want to change me half the cost of a brand new charging case for my first generation AirPods Pro… for a nice strip of fabric… fuck the hell of you greedy assholes. No, sorry, I don’t have any way to reconcile this predatory pricing and instantly I got on with my day and decided to not buy anything else until I have to…

Apple are worldwide facing this precipitous pricing cliff in people’s minds. They are trying to maximise profits on everything simultaneously which is exposing them to the risk customers will see this shit for what it is and consequently transform from frequent customers, to infrequent customers, (as I have) which magnifies the importance of the pricing balance for Apple and their situation is far from unique… lots of other lucrative industries are wading through this price dynamic swamp as the global financial… whatever the fuck were calling the last 12 months and onwards.

If I were given a choice whether to spend hours learning integral calculus or partial differential equations, I’d have most certainly said no! But, at the end of it I realised they were the foundations for something greater - projectile calculations with integral calculus.

A long time ago in the early 1980's I was making a trip from Four Corners to the SLC area. As it happened I needed gas and a restroom break by the time I found the intersection at Crescent Junction, on I-70/191.

Back in those days it had the appearance of a truck stop/service station where one could have a real mechanic fix any problems the driver might have before they headed out of "town".

I gassed up the old Bronco and headed for the bathroom which was accessible from outside the building like a lot of gas station restrooms back then. Inside, I found pissed-on floors, dirty walls, and a typical poorly cleaned commode with a sink stained with lots of things I didn't need to get in touch with. After finishing everything I washed my hands, carefully dodging the goo on the sink surface and then looked for a place to dry my hands.

I found one of those old-time electric hand dryers, which was certainly better than the recycled hand towel spinner so that was a bonus for that facility.

As I looked for the start button to get the air blowing, I noticed a scribbling in fountain pen from some prior visitor up near the manufacturer instructions.

It said - "Press button for your personalized message from Carter." A later visitor had used a magic marker to scratch through Carter and add Reagan.

This was the first time that I had seen this particular restroom graffiti. Thanks for the reminder.

> if LLaMa is free from legal claims for commercial use.

That restriction is only in the license though, which was not accepted. So it won't apply, right?

> otherwise, [all?] copyright notices and software licenses would be meaningless, because you could simple launder stolen property

That applies to trade secrets. If I knowingly induce you to leak a secret I can't use it, but if you leak the secret to the public in an unrelated fashion and I discover it, I can. It doesn't apply to copyright, as you note.

> If you’re positive there no copyrighted materials used in deploying LLaMa, then obviously there’s no copyright claim or breach of contract.

There's no breach of contract because there was no agreement. Therefore there's no license to use, so you're right - the copyrightable parts will be a violation. Basically everything except 'data' or machine translations of someone else's works.

And yes, I assume that there's some incidental content, at least, which will be infringing. Even a readme is copyrighted after all. And yes, of course any code which isn't already public elsewhere.

I think the weights themselves are the interesting bit though, and perhaps someone could rerelease them without any incidentals just to clarify the issue.
> I'd suspect that men and women have similar safety concerns, but men are just more likely to lie about it on surveys.

Talk to more women, I'd say.

I have been scared in my life, and I have known many men I would describe as being generally-fearful people, but I have never met any man who spent as much of their life considering physical safety as one of their highest priorities every single day of their lives, and I have talked to many women who describe that feeling in different words.

I think it's good to acknowledge that men can be, and sometimes are, scared. But I think you do a disservice to both men and women when you look at "violent crime" stats (skewed heavily by gang activity most of us will never encounter regardless of gender) and believe that men and women are generally equally concerned about safety. That flies in the face of the experiences of nearly everyone, I think.

Put another way: there are some neighborhoods in which I would not like to walk alone at night, but I have never once worried about being attacked while walking for exercise in a tony suburb in the afternoon. Any time I've encountered a woman while doing so, they would cross the street, be holding keys in their hands, or both. I don't think I'm a scary-looking guy, but as an unknown man they encountered, even in a tony suburb in the afternoon, concern for their safety prompted them to take action.

You don't have to believe me, and I can't convince you. But if you ever listen to women, read women, or even believe the comments you see on this page from women, you might just understand life a little more.
