Do you mean 99% of available ARM products of 99% of ARM users?

My only devices are a pi4 4GB and 8GB so I’ve got no real reference but, Ubuntu server had to be the easiest and most stable install next to DietPi (Debian) and followed closely by standard Debian.
Running within a linux cset shield is a fairly standard practice.

For benchmarks reporting times in the range of nanoseconds a common approach is a linear regression of varying batch sizes; I'm not sure gtest does this.

But generally, don't trust any result without a (non-parametric) confidence interval, since the confounding factors like OS jitter, CPU frequency, temperature etc. can't be easily controlled, although some CPU features can be disabled.
It's an open secret that social media and engangement metrics has created something that we don't know how to undo now. No media whether it be news or entertainment will show you anything but what they think gets extra engagement. Outrage, clickbait, infinite scrolling, auto-playing content, recommendations etc.

Just have a look at r/teachers to see what the next generation of kids look like. They can't concentrate more than 30 seconds. I'm no expert on this subject, so I would just recommend watching the AI Dilemma video which goes a bit into the social media side, but also talks about LLMs.

Berlin & Kay were basically repeating research which had already been done decades before, but forgotten. Guy Deutscher's book _Through the Language Glass_ covers both the linguistics and the history of the research. It's a fascinating walk through the human brain and through the history of ideas. Highly recommended.
Well yeah, if container ships wouldn't be as horribly efficient, manufacturing everything in China, or shipping various stages of garments halfway around the world, which leads to the finished product having traveled more than those that have worked on it will in their lifetime, wouldn't be possible. The problem with container ships is not just the CO2, but also that they burn the worst of the worst fuel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil#Environmental_issues).
Isn’t this exactly contrary to what second system syndrome would have us believe?
Not saying you shouldn't do this, but by publishing under AGPL plus

If you are an individual person or a not-for-profit organization, and your usage of this software is entirely non-commercial, you may use this software under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3, summarized below and reprinted in full thereafter.

you have effectively created a new license and it's not completely clear to me what that new license even means exactly, except that obviously a company should stay far away from it.

With regular AGPL, there is not a problem for a company to use the AGPL licensed software, it "just" can't offer Tivo-ised experiences or a website running modified AGPL code.
What would you have us do? There is no such validation process.
Yes you can feel sorry. I have been quilty of that for the past couple of days as I have lacked a motivation to work.

Do you have a vested interest in Booking.com? Interesting that you vehemently defend a common negative experience that booking through third parties is garbage, but you only seem to be defending this particular website.
I know this may seem an odd question, but what happens in a post rust world, when you NEED to exploit a system?

Such as say in 20 years when you want to be able to run custom code in a then old console.
Rust is actually pretty kind about most abstractions. Sure you can write creepy rust, but it requires a lot more effort to write creepy rust than it does in say C. More chances that a code reviewer will say "ugh this is too fancy", whereas in C some pretty crazy stuff can seem so innocent.
Progress is part keeping-the-things-that-work, part dropping-the-things-that-don't
The actual grim part: It's not an "eventually". Even if the censorship downranks and removes results I disagree with and makes me feel warm and fuzzy and enjoy that my political enemies are gnashing their teeth, it can very well rob me of information it'd be useful to know.

eg. to this day many people live under the impression that Kyle Rittenhouse shot three black people. If asked to estimate how many unarmed blacks get killed by police, Democrat voters give absolutely wild estimates when according to shooting databases the actual number is about 20 a year. According to a poll D voters thought you had a 50% chance of dying if you caught Covid, which is completely nuts even with the earlier, more dangerous strains.

Yet these people think they're well informed and follow the Science™.

Though no doubt most of us know them from all the parodies¹, those signs are real.

When I was a student there was this power-of-two game on my friend's iPhone that I was literally addicted to. I didn't have an iPhone and eventually the game even disappeared from the AppStore. I missed it very much and my friends jokingly mentioned building a copy just for me. They never got around to it but at some point I thought "maybe I should give it a try?". So I gave it a try with no game dev knowledge and the second iteration turned out just fine for my needs: https://kiryhas.github.io/memechain/

I've considered rewriting it to make the code better many times but every time I sit down to do that I think to myself "it works just fine, why touch it" and leave this idea for a while :)

BTW the idea of the game is to combine cubes with the same number and color until there are only 4 left.
I mean, who's stopping you? Anyone holding a gun at your head to rewrite stuff in Rust?
Which is why we should be very careful when we consider creating a system that is going to funnel money to people who are already famous for writing, art, etc.

How will new artists and writers get their works included in future AI — and then get people to prompt for them — so they can get their paycheck?

Even spending a few minutes on this problem would lead to a realization that even if we could create a system that could a) determine rights to any particular portion of an AI-generated work, and b) extract payment and remunerate the artist; would essentially be building a moat around the next generation's intellectual property powerhouses.

Generative AI is a revolutionary technology, and we need a revolution in compensation models for arts and letters to go with it.
Really cool. They look like model trains! :-)
Not sure if you’re aware but this bikes vs trucks thing is a strawman.

Nobody has ever suggested that things that require trucking should be done by bike.
'Everybody has a car and bicycle...'

I'm not sure this is true, but, on the wider point of cars v cycles it comes down to the usual problem of neither not wanting to share the same space. I have lived in Spain, though mainly live in the UK, and in either place I would not feel safe riding a bike (or scooter) on a public road.

I should add that car drivers and bike riders can be as bad as each other, it's just that car drivers usually have the upper hand in terms of protection.
Sounds like OpenAi needs a moat.
Isn't that an estimation challenge, like "How many piano-tuners are there in New York?"?

With regard to piano-tuners, I've never played with ChatGPT, but presumably the training corpus includes this notorious question, along with many sample answers. Will ChatGPT take a shot, or will it chicken-out like it apparently does for the elephant question, and refer you to reliable sources?

[Edit] I'm curious as to how ChatGPT would proceed from a prompt of the form "What would you like to talk about?"
I assume some users are using new names on a daily basis. If you run a plumbing business, you may never have texted Abbas before - but if Abbas asks you for a quote, you'll be doing it today. Although I agree that people write 'and' far more often.

I assume they have some sort of special-case inclusion/handling for names in swipe dictionaries - it'd be embarrassing if your swipe keyboard recognised George and Donald as words, but didn't recognise Barrack.
> but he eventually went because his girlfriend cared about it

What the girlfriend did was convince him to go, not bring therapist to the same room and start the session without him knowing in advance.

It's not a good idea to just dump your interests on someone. You need to get them interested first, convince something is interesting. For this, you learn more about the person first and then try to show how that poem is relevant to them.

Also, different people are different, have different experiences, and different works of art resonate with them. If The Waste Land helped you to "go deeper", it doesn't necessarily mean it would have the same effect on other people. And that is OK.
The strings attached to IMF/World Bank loans, known as structural adjustments, do typically include ending agricultural subsidies. The US and collective West notably do not subject themselves to the same policy. Coupled with structural adjustments which mandate market liberalization, this means farmers in developing countries have to compete against heavily subsidized food staples from the collective West. The end result of this is well understood.
> Ring is mostly C/Assembly

Crypto needs to be written in Assembly to ensure that operations take a constant time, regardless of input. Writing it in a high level language like C or Rust opens you up to the compiler "optimising" routines and making them no longer constant time.

But you already knew this. And you also knew that the security audit (https://github.com/rustls/rustls/blob/master/audit/TLS-01-re...) of ring was favourable

> No issues were found with regards to the cryptographic engineering of rustls or its underlying ring library. A recommendation is provided in TLS-01-001 to optionally supplement the already solid cryptographic library with another cryptographic provider (EverCrypt) with an added benefit of formally verified cryptographic primitives. Overall, it is very clear that the developers of rustls have an extensive knowledge on how to correctly implement the TLS stack whilst avoiding the common pitfalls that surround the TLS ecosystem. This knowledge has translated reliably into an implementation of exceptional quality.

As a bonus, rustls is under active development with sponsorship from Google, AWS and fly.io, with the aim of making a high quality, memory-safe TLS stack - https://www.memorysafety.org/initiative/rustls/

> a standard library with feature flags and editions would make rust ridiculously much more productive

What's the difference between opting into a library with a feature flag and opting in with a line in Cargo.toml? Let's say you want to use the de-facto regex library. Would it really be ridiculously productive if you said you wanted the "regex" feature flag instead of the "regex" crate?

I do agree that the standard library does need a versioning story so they can remove long deprecated functions. Where it gets complicated is if a new method is reintroduced using the same name in a later edition.
I am not sure if I can associate it with a rewrite. Can you elaborate a bit?
there's more to it than just pounds per square foot. speed over the bridge matters too, which is why you get speed restrictions on some bridges
Huh, that's a surprising abstract; one of the specific things that make LLMs better than older text interfaces, including programming languages and text adventures, is precisely that they are so much better at ambiguity.

Still, as even the best are clearly not-quite-human in failures despite the breadth of strengths, it's only a bit surprising rather than hugely surprising.
Because I work with a lot of currencies and I used to do a lot of multi-currency calculations, I’ve built a convertor (https://4ex.ro) that accepts formulas and displays the results in all selected currencies. The rate is the one offered by the National Bank in Romania (a legal requirement for transactions that happen between companies in Romania - maybe I’ll add different data sources in the future). Oh, and you can add a formula in one field and then continue in another field using the previous result. Something really easy to accomplish, but there was no solution doing this a few years ago. Almost nobody is using it, but I do and this is a sufficient reason to keep it (a)live.
Tell that to the engineers of the Millennium Bridge in London. Resonance from foot traffic caused it to start swaying, requiring shoring up with massive dampers.
In 2010 I was at my first job out of college and frustrated that iTunes took over such a huge amount of resources on my PC. But I loved the UI look and function and the way it had playlists, and didn't like the other options on the market. So I hired a cheap overseas freelancer to build "Litetunes", which I requested look and function exactly like iTunes but be <2MB file with no installation required that would open quickly just like notepad or calculator. I thought of distributing it but ended up using it just for myself, it worked great.
I have an imgur account.

Both were possible. From my understanding only the images uploaded by anonymous account are taken down. Imgur still exist as an image/video social media.
This battle will never be won with pity. It's also a waste of mental resources, emotional capacity, etc. Besides, this issue will only get more prevalent in the coming years unless a superconscious deity decides to interfere and enlighten this planet at scale.
Adult cystic fibrosis patients account for like a third of all lung transplants in the US and children with CF account for like half of all pediatric lung transplants. Lung transplants cost like a million dollars, can lead to a gruesome death if rejection sets in and require lifelong drugs.

The latest, greatest drugs for CF are extremely expensive (around $250k annually last I checked), don't work for everyone and must be taken forever as well.

Standard treatments for CF are extremely expensive and the condition is extremely debilitating.

It's a good candidate for new gene editing therapies in part because there is a simple, identified issue: a defective cell channel. Some genetic disorders are more complicated than that.
Panicking on OOM was always a questionable design decision.

It doesn't always mean that your app has no memory, it just means that your chosen allocator has no free memory. That's not always an unrecoverable situation.
Ballmer may have screamed “Developers, developers, developers”, but what he actually meant was “Windows, Office, developers”.

Windows and Office came before everything. The big change Nadella brought to the table was completely eliminating Windows as a primary goal for the company, and reducing Office’s importance as well.
Not quite sure about the down votes here, but there's quite a bit of activity in social media at the moment about performance, saying exactly the same as the parent, tl;dr if you get the data structures right, especially with hindsight, then vNext is almost certainly faster.

e.g. https://lemire.me/blog/2023/04/27/hotspot-performance-engine... which was on HN today.

Andrew Kelley (zig) did a whole talk on data oriented design a while back talking about the same thing. And Casey Muratori is also talking about it a lot right now, and with good reason.
No need to be rude.

As someone who's worked in telecom for a number of years, the fines for broadcasting I've seen issued to individuals are insane. Not just radio but wireless amplification too. Different European country though.

Always check the legislation in the country of operation. Emergency frequencies are held sacred by the powers that be.
Did tumblr had anonymous upload?
Chinese here. It is true that in some intervals every year, only locally made movies are played in cinema. I agree it is a bad move, too. But I believe the reason is to help local movie industry to grow better. In April, we are rerunning an old Conan movie, an old Slam Dunk, as well as Titanic.

We love good movies no matter who made, just like people in any countries. But western movie industry are really decreasing. The last new western movie I watched is Avatar 2, which sucks. On the other hand, local movies do improve in many aspects. The stories are good; there are some good jokes and there are always some (our) political views expressed explicitly or implicitly. Just like those good old Hollywood movies. I'm proud to see that.

We don't prefer local movies, but we also don't hate them. Most of us will choose whichever with better quality. And the most important thing is: yes, we do have the right to choose (at least most of the time). So in my opinion, stop making excuses and try hard to make better movies.
Built my own music player for mac which I use every day. I have a large collection of ripped mp3s and I wanted to control exactly where they are stored, order in which they are played (album order) etc.

C# in Visual Studio is probably closest to this. You get a visual editor + the .NET library is quite huge. Alternatively Lazarus (or Delphi, but I don't know what the licensing situations is right now).
If we want demonstration, they will need billion dollar hardware.
One of the guys on the Cracking the Cryptic sudoku Youtube channel keeps accidentally triggering Alexa on his videos. It's pretty funny.
It's interesting that it depends on historical context: In Iran (and other muslim majority countries) prohibition is conservative, since it already exists for a while.
Strange, I have never heard of a separate escape tunnel for a tram tunnel. Even German U-Bahn/S-Bahn (which I am most familiar with) tunnels usually just have a walkway beside the tracks that leads to the next station or emergency exit. But I guess that also depends on length between possible stations/exits, or it's due to newer regulations, or maybe it was a "mixed calculation" ("if we build a separate tunnel, it's more expensive, but it can also be used as a bike/pedestrian tunnel").
> So just because the "th" sound doesn't exist in many languages, like German, they should pronounce "Heath Ledger" or "Anthony Hopkins" or "The Beatles" incorrectly?

They're going to use the sounds that exist for them, yes.

> That seems to me a way more "insane" standard.

I hope you never get to make any decisions. Dave Barry once wrote about someone thinking "What an idiot I am! Here I am, a Japanese person, in Japan, and I can't even speak English!"

But then again, Dave Barry was joking.

> By the way, the Scottish are perfectly able to pronounce "Loch Ness"

The population of Scotland is 5 million; if you want to talk about "most English speakers", the Scottish aren't even worth noticing.
Wasn't there some issue with IE or something that prevented people from using the right mime type? I swear there was something like that going on back in the day.

A guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. He notices a sign that says “Free Wi-Fi”. He asks the bartender for the password. The bartender says “It’s ‘I’m using motion controls’, all lowercase, no spaces”. The guy says “That’s a weird password. Why did you choose that?” The bartender says “Because I’m using motion controls!” and makes a gesture with his hand. He laughs and says “It’s a reference to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you know, the game where you can use motion controls to steer your kart. It’s a running gag among the players, they always say ‘I’m using motion controls’ when they win or lose or do something crazy. It’s hilarious!” The guy says “Oh, I see. Well, I don’t play video games, so I wouldn’t know”. He types in the password and connects to the Wi-Fi.

The next day, the guy comes back to the bar and orders another drink. He sees the same sign and asks the bartender for the password again. The bartender says “It’s ‘I’m using motion controls’, all lowercase, no spaces”. The guy says “Yeah, I remember. You told me yesterday. It’s from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, right?” The bartender says “Yes, that’s right. And I’m using motion controls!” and makes the same gesture with his hand. He laughs and says “It never gets old, does it? It’s such a funny joke. Everyone loves it!” The guy says “Uh-huh. Sure”. He types in the password and connects to the Wi-Fi.

The third day, the guy comes back to the bar and orders yet another drink. He sees the same sign and asks the bartender for the password once more. The bartender says “It’s ‘I’m using motion controls’, all lowercase, no spaces”. The guy says “Yeah, yeah, I know. You’ve told me twice already. It’s from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and you’re using motion controls. Ha ha ha”. The bartender says “Exactly! And I’m using motion controls!” and makes the same gesture with his hand. He laughs and says “It’s still funny, isn’t it? It’s such a classic joke. Everyone knows it!” The guy says “Yeah, yeah, whatever”. He types in the password and connects to the Wi-Fi.

The fourth day, the guy comes back to the bar and orders a different drink. He sees the same sign and asks the bartender for the password yet again. The bartender says “It’s ‘I’m using motion controls’, all lowercase, no spaces”. The guy says “Look, buddy, I get it. You like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and you like using motion controls. You think it’s a funny joke to say ‘I’m using motion controls’ every time someone asks for the Wi-Fi password. But it’s not funny anymore. It’s annoying. It’s repetitive. It’s lame. Can you please change the password to something else? Something more original? Something more creative? Something more interesting?” The bartender says “Sure, sure, I can do that. No problem”. He goes to his computer and changes the password. He comes back and says “OK, I’ve changed it. The new password is ‘I’m still using motion controls’, all lowercase, no spaces”. He laughs and says “And I’m still using motion controls!” and makes the same gesture with his hand.

The guy slams his drink on the counter and storms out of the bar.
