Generics are generally pretty cheap. There are some indications that US doctors are incentivized to prescribe patented meds. I know I've received them when I strongly suspected a generic would have been fine.

>These analyses included several types of prescribing decisions, finding that physicians who received industry payments were more likely to prescribe drugs made by the companies that had paid them over alternatives, had higher prescribing costs, and prescribed relatively more brand-name products over generic alternatives. The positive results of these studies spanned a broad range of physician specialties and drug classes.

Yes, Asterisk can poke holes in NAT on its own just fine. I was surprised how pessimistic the article is on this. I have systems running for months and years behind NAT with no issue. You might have to disable direct media (endpoint/disable_direct_media_on_nat).

Also, this is just uptime related tip not NAT, you must explicitly set registration/max_retries to a huge number otherwise Asterisk just gives up permanently at some point. It’s a really weird default.
What about "not aware that other people are doing far worse"?

I think both options have an effect and whether that effect is positive or negative depends on the level of empathy vs. sociopathy.
As an example; John A De Goes, one of the most prolific advocates for Scala and developer and lead of the Zio ecosystem, has announced that he is stopping his advocacy, stepping down from leading the Zio ecosystem, and is going to branch out.

I sit down and type out the ideas I have for the two video games I want to make.

I use Midjourney to generate assets.

I hire a programmer who has made games before, to help me make the first playable level 1 for game 1.

I buy ads on Reddit to get people to play the first demo. I leave comments enabled on my ads.

And then I hire more people and we keep working on the game for a few months.

Then I buy more ads to get people to play the demo that we have now.

And then we finish making the game and I start selling the final product.

We then proceed to work on the next game.

After we have finished the second game, we will see what to do next.

yeah you're right that some registries might have some weird quirks about certain things like transfers or additional mandatory requirements etc.

UK transfers are surely more complicated than they have to be (push vs. pull logic).

and I can also see where you're coming from, since in the UK it doesn't seem to be such a big thing.

but in most other non-english speaking countries (or even .com.au or co.nz), ccTLDs are actually a big trust factor. also for example high-end keyworddomains sell for a multiple of the respective .com domain price. sometimes as much as 5-10 times.

requirements traceability - dependency tracking/tracing graph, upwards (because of) and downwards (therefore).
It is a very tedious process, Very few companies do it.

> and/or are used to putting up with "typical linux issues" and accept the quirks

As you later point out more explicitly, there is no way around that.

Linux is the epitome of bazaar style development - it has endless positives, but a huge drawback is not having a consistent direction, nor any real force behind any of the directions.

Apple can just say that they will now support a new compositor, if you wanna stay in business, change. And it will happen. But that’s not a technical thing at all, wayland’s first 10 years is very different from the next 5 one — since it has become mainstream now, its support and hands working on it will result in exponentially more improvements. A new direction needs critical mass, and wayland has only recently acquired that, imo.
Even if it has a brain I can still recommend using your own :P
What would be an affordable/ cheap way to get hands on with this type of hardware? Right now I have zero knowledge.
It's not just entrepreneurship. European countries are notorious for safeguarding people against mistakes at the cost of everything else. Safeguarding not just meaning 'you can't fall deep into poverty', but also 'we will give you the means to stay at your current level'. That's how you end up with young people earning median household income unable to get a semi-decent apartment while Joe with a family of 4 making the same amount could never afford his current home, but passed the checkpoint before the bar got raised too high.

Great if you're established or the economy is flourishing where you want it. Not so great if important sectors are dwindling and you have yet to establish yourself.
Could you give some examples? I'm curious.
So in computer science nobody can claim that they are the godfather of X. In physics too because everyone was based on mathcfrom ancient Greece. I get your point. Let's focus on the important stuff. 2 out of 3 Turing award winners related to this tech put up huge warnings. You think a) ignore or b) take seriously?
Don't state things like that factually unless you have some knowledge in that field or at least first hand experience. Regurgitating your impression from second hand stories and media narratives is how you stereotype and other people.
I took a look at freeSWITCH's site and it looks like they got bought out. Their documentation is a total mess because the acquiring company has imported lots of wiki pages without much care for how they fit together.
Does anyone here actually use SML for production or know of big projects (outside of academia) which uses it?

Compared to other functional langauges, it doesn't seem as popular.
I actually don't, but I think this has to do with the generations of the hardware and software combo. Early stuff would typically be very stable. Towards the end of their gold era, SGI urge out new stuff and reliability went down.

> will it be while current speculators can stay solvent or will they be too early in the same way dot com speculators were?

I wouldn't want to hazard a guess.

Speculative tendency is a given as an underlying driver, though it can be modulated by the structure of financial instruments, markets, interest rates, taxation etc.

What is not a given is that FOMO will be continuously expressed every few years just so that a number of savvy intermediaries can keep banking on that collective defect.

Manias are also generational phenomena - people do get burned out. I do have a feeling that currently we have collectively "burned-out" from the promised tech disruption.

I may well be wrong and a powerful idea that is not subject to all the above caveats is now incubating somewhere in the long tail.

An interesting question is whether we will see it here on HN.
Many of us think very fondly of that computer system or gaming console our parents bought for us in 1983. They spent a crazy amount of money that they probably couldn’t afford and only as adults do we fully realize what our parents did for us.

> Never had such issues with Windows, it's always been rock solid in this regard

I can’t even count the number of times windows reinstalling the sound driver or whatever it does at runtime, requiring a reboot.

I think people are very likely to blame the software layer even when they use subpar hardware — no software will run fine on shitty hardware, and the very inconsistent reports from basically any OS is more than likely the result of some underlying, failing hardware components. This also mostly explains why OSX is considered more stable by some — it is much easier supporting 10 different configs, than all the others.

I think Linux has undergone a huge improvement in this regard and actually has the best, general support for any hardware nowadays — it may happen that a given driver is better/only works for windows, but the mainline has shifted to Linux now.
These are not good for day to day use like raspberry. It will take a bit but at the end the ISA will matter.

Is compositing different bitmaps an embarrassingly parallel problem?

I started writing a simple layout engine based on the ORCSolver white paper but I wonder how layout can be parallelized.

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/browser

I always thought servers could prelayout the HTML to determine X and Ys and widths for different browser viewport sizes and this metadata would speed up layout because you have a good candidate for layout immediately.

When it comes to changing the DOM and reflow, I wonder if you can reflow against the row only into chunks of the screen and recomposite bitmaps to move elements down the screen.

Some web pages are really pathological with relayout costs

On the other hand... My house isn't large enough to do what I want to with hobbies. It is rather small - an attic apartment, containing more than one person.

I do not have all the toys that I want - I'm limited by space and money. My main solo hobbies are cooking and artwork.

I live across an ocean from all family besides my spouse: It was my choice, I'm happy for it, but I'm never really going to get that family time without money and freedom to travel more.

I could spend more time with local friends if I had space for board games in my house (or other things, really). I would exercise more if I had room for a treadmill as well as hobbies: I choose hobbies because I don't actually like exercise but I do like hobbies.

You might have more than you can want, but I certainly don't. I'm not unhappy, per se, but I'd could definitely do without meeting frustrating limitation so very often. And that really is the difference: When you have enough of the right things, you eliminate a lot of daily frustration and anxiety that just happens in your daily life - and sometimes, you wind up more physically comfortable and/or healthier as well.
> How can a measure be "effective" if it can be circumvented?

"Effective" is defined in the law. It basically means any copy protection measure which, during the normal course of its operation (i.e., the happy path), prevents unauthorized copying. A bit of JavaScript that disables "Save Image As" qualifies. If you write a browser extension that knocks out that JavaScript, you could be civilly and criminally liable under the DMCA.
> This isn't 100% waylands fault - but nvidia cards seem to add extra issues. I need CUDA support

One more important difference: It’s terrible to die on a park bench because you can’t support yourself and other people won’t help you. But in my mind it’s worse to die on a park bench because the state extracted 60-70% taxes from you, and now won’t give you even a small portion of that back. To me that’s just inhuman…
The whole thing is a big false dichotomy. People mostly aren’t buying a snowmobile because they want one sitting in their back shed. They buy it to use it.

I'm more optimistic for RISC-V. For all the devs who worked on it here (at https://vates.tech), they told me it's very easy to work with since it's close to many Arm design principles.

That's why I believe it's important to prepare the platform today for those future machines. I think it's a great opportunity to not only get an alternative both x86 and Arm, but also really opening the choice of the design, letting new players mastering both hardware and software (I have to admit that's something I'm considering for my business at some point).
I'm pretty sure you can't buy TPUs, but people usually buy GPUs instead. If you're building a personal rig, these days, you can get an Nvidia RTX 3090 for about $720 USD on ebay used, which is pretty cheap for 24GB VRAM. There's also the A6000 with 48GB VRAM but that'll cost about $5000 on Amazon. Of course, there's new cards that are faster with more VRAM like the 4090 and RTX 6000, but they're also more expensive.

Of course, this is all pretty expensive still. If your models are small enough you can get away with even older GPUs with less VRAM like a GTX 1080 Ti. And then of course there's services like Google Collab and vast.ai where you can rent a TPU or GPU in the cloud.

I'd check out Tim Dettmers' guide for buying GPUs: https://timdettmers.com/2023/01/30/which-gpu-for-deep-learni...

First let me say that the minimal interface you've designed for the dashboard is lovely. But also consider that as you talk to potential customers for this, the hardest sell is "send your data to a third party" and the easiest sell is "here is something that will save your developer's time". The biggest problem it seems like most people are facing now is getting their data transported between services.
Unlike the vast majority I do not like travelling.
probaby due to being autistic.
I will share how it feels for me.
(Everyone is different so just me)

This ought not to be much of a problem, just dont
travel. But it has been the "thing" for so long,
and people want to do it, and expect everyone else to.

I tend to focus on practical matters.

Overstuffed highly uncomfortable airplanes where there is
space for my legs, my arms rub up against the person(s) next to me.

All the hassle at the airport.

Then the hotel is never more comfortable than home.

The climate can be uncomfortable.

London in a peak hot period, I find the underground horrible.
But it has been a while, perhaps they have stuffed some ACs in there.

Having certain dietary restrictions does not help
this is made much more of a problem I dont speak the local
language enough to talk about food, directions,
I speak 4 languages fluently, and I am able to fake it in about 5 more.

An expectation when travelling with someone to do all sorts of boring
and annoying tourist rituals.

etc. etc. etc. etc.

I live in Norway now but come from Colorado.
I far prefer driving somewhere to airplanes.
Much less hassle, kind of comfortable can stop when
I want, eat something I like, having a good idea
about what is sh*t and what is not when it comes to
hotels, restaurants etc.

It is of course boring to just travel in the states.

I do like modern art museums and well run zoos.
If I find those that is a good thing.
Why is why we're seeing VC funded startups starting to produce specialised tooling for various use cases so people don't have to do it themselves.

ChatGPT is fun, and for some of what I do it's usable as-is, but for most people it'll be a tech demo for something that will be built in and hidden behind layers of stuff to make it suitable for their specific use-case. At least until the base models get a lot more capable.

Yes, almost from the start, it sounded to me like something cooked up by marketing experts, either:

* to sell "experiences" to people because those marketers had services to sell;

* to sell "experiences" to people because the target demographic couldn't afford possessions; or

* more a psyop campaign, to placate demographics for whom the memes are that they'll never own a home, never be able to retire, etc.

Or all three.

Sure, there was the random carefree person who just liked to surf every day, and somehow ends got met, but for the rest of us, we were sold on expectations of homeownership, vehicles, consumer products. We can see that society is set up to expect people to have those things, and we can see how people's experience is generally better when they can afford those possessions.
Depends on how much money I have. I’d like build a small community where food, stay etc will be free. And invite creators to come over and create anything - books, art, software…
PyPI says bye-bye to as much IP address data as it can
Yes, that is my exactly my experience too, but the task of innovators is to prove that "good enough" is just not good enough and that we have a need that we didn't know - for which we are willing to pay a premium :-)

The underlying driver always involves the economics of cost of development versus market size and in the past this was ruthless for specialized vendors. But today, e.g., NVIDIA is riding high on what are extremely specialized chips, presumably on the assumption of massive adoption.

So its not clear if we are still in the regime of commoditized computation that destroyed the Unix workstation era or maybe the category will be reinvented.
As a Wine user, experimenting with Wine versions, wine-staging, winetricks, and prepackaged wines like Proton is about the most you can do. I looked up BUSY on the AppDB, and it seems like other users haven't had any success either, so there's not much chance that it will work. Besides running the installed, you could also try running an already installed instance.

Multiple choice is a red herring here. One can equally memorize answers to a non multiple choice test.

If the point of the test is to check that students understand the material, and if students aren't allowed to look at the answers of previous tests ("looking at other tests without the instructor’s permission counts as cheating"), then memorizing the correct answers to previous tests is cheating.
