MI300 looks very promising, but it doesn't instantly solve the chicken-egg problem. Nvidia has been placing eggs in the form of "cuda on gaming gpus" in the nests of researchers and students for quite some time.

"Nobody ever got fired for buying nvidia" might be the situation in the future if AMD doesn't manage to get a more popular choice among developers
Awesome.

It would be good if some form of externally plugable binary format specification is doable in the future. As far as I can see, if the binary format is not supported OTB, you can't use this tool.
The UK actually has a statutory 5.6 weeks - which is 28 days - for all full time employees. Most companies will split that as 20 days flexible leave plus 8 public holidays, but it's not a requirement.

Many companies offer better than that as an additional benefit. For example, I currently get 24 days + 9 public holidays (Scotland) for a total of 33 days. I think I get an additional day after I've been with the company 4 years.
True, the wake up call is mostly in articles and social medias, not in the trend, in the same way most people use Windows despite most technical writers using Mac or Linux.

Btw I saw ntfy on HN a couple of months ago and I’m already one of the starrers.
There’s hundreds of millions of people in those countries. I’m sure they have all sorts of views. It’s the presumption people in developed economies are going to naturally start adopting western values that I’m taking issue with. It’s a highly arrogant position, that seems to lack any form of awareness about how western countries might be perceived by people outside the west.
I have 23 days plus 15 days for sick kids/family member and “unlimited” short term sick leave for myself. All at a telco in the US.

I turned down 2 other jobs that had unlimited PTO where you could really only get 2-3 weeks max.
I think you meant "separate".
Tampering with electronic voting can be made impossible too - by allowing people to validate their vote.

This solution is often rejected because it could theoretically lead to vote buying but in practice vote buying is ridiculously susceptible even to very halfhearted sting operations.

Historically it has been a problem because it was tolerated, but literally as soon as it was cracked down upon it dried up completely. It only worked when it was de facto decriminalized.

Paper is still better but IMHO I'd be happy with electronic voting with cryptographic after-election vote validation.
Really? When travelling in Northern Portugal in the late 90s I saw women manually pulling ploughs on their allotments with their husbands, female builders, rubbish collectors and taxi drivers.

In the 2000s saw very similar sights in Bulgaria - gender roles seem far less fixed than you might imagine if you only watch TV or films.

The company I work for instituted unlimited PTO recently.

It’s annoying, because under the previous system if I worked a weekend or public holiday, I’d get an extra concrete day to use. Now I don’t.

So by law in Ireland I have to take minimum 20 days PTO, and interestingly, there’s a little known rule that says I’ve to take 2 weeks off in a row as part of that.

Which I never twigged until recently when comparing the employee handbook to employment laws for fun. This rule is a blessing and a curse tbh.

This year so far I have taken about two actual days off, and I usually work on public holidays because I simply forget when they are.
That surprises me.

I'm a webdev and I've long considered HN to be a bit of an atrocity in terms of markup and a11y. Nested tables, no sr text to explain the thread structure, JS-only links scattered around. It works but only by the mercy of many text-based browsers being started in the 90s, so they're used to this pre-semantics rubbish.

I can't tell if it's hubris but if I were king for a day, I'd like to think I'd leave HN in a better state. At the very least, I'd clean up the cruft.
With the rise of AR/VR this guy could probably make bank in the coming years.

The popup does actually feel like a good illustration of the basic phenomena. Average person says "oh look, a cookie popup" and clicks through, possibly choosing randomly between "confirm" and "select all". (People with lower familiarity with cookie popups or the language might get completely stuck)

HNer isn't at all intimidated by the wall of text and knows exactly what it mean but reads every word to check they haven't snuck any particularly egregious privacy violations and goes down the rabbit hole of evaluating the likely implications of blocking 'necessary' cookies and the virtues of doing that via the cookie popup or browser plugin before making their selection...

> A human brain can do more computation than our largest super computers with 20W of power

The power needs of the human brain are likely to be measured quite accurately.

The same is not true of the "amount of computation" performed by the brain. How are you measuring that?
"Best" depends what attribute your optimising. For me, "best" is being entirely independent of an ongoing operational cost which I can't control. I'm covering my entire roof in solar panels and buying the biggest battery I can afford. Being able to "fuel" my vehicle without ongoing third-party involvement, and with an absolute minimum of moving parts (reducing servicing costs), is important.

I do take the point that's not the attribute most people are optimising for.
I realize that I am committing the fatal flaw by engaging in politics on HN (other than right-leaning dog whistles, of course)...

But we're all just going to ignore Ken Paxton, in a video interview, admitting to voter suppression that would've swung Texas in the opposite direction. Right? Yeah?
Thats the same for any signing service...
This is quite true. It's awful to have a person on a team that produces code at an quadruple industrial speed. Then the part of the team that actually cares about the project will have to sort that out later (or, worse, live with it and pay the debt with accumulating interest).

Maintaining/fixing/managing the code that the star developer produces is very ungrateful work.
I get how low wages could cause personnel shortages, but how does the tremendously rising cost of medical come out of this? I would expect the causation to be rising costs => stalled wages => personnel shortages.

> Optimally you'd want a distributed CDN, but that doesn't really sound feasible without the cloud

CDN is a good choice when you ether need to sever small volume (i. e. not 500Tb) with low latency, e. g. to reduce web page load time by hosting static assets (js/css/img) close to the customer or when you have really huge traffic (e. g. Netflix, but they decided public cloud is not cost effective for CDN and built their own).

For NixOS mirrors latency is not important, traffic is not huge (withing capacity of a single commodity server) and just two mirrors - in US and EU would be close enough to majority of users.
I appreciate your response. What do you end up doing during the summer? Do you adjust your schedule to be out more when the Sun is down or do you just spend almost all of your time indoors?

> You should always use paper ballots

I think that even if electronic voting devices are not guaranteed to be failsafe today it does not mean that they can't get there.

Paper ballots are not an optimal democratic way of conducting voting. The whole process is time and resource consuming and disenfranchises the less privileged.

If there would be a cheap and safe way to cast electronic ballots from one's own phone I bet engagement with democracy would be a lot higher, not only on big issues like presidential elections, but on smaller stuff that one would vote at a local level.
You really don't need al that mess, just a bunch of mirrors around the world.
Don't tell me what PTO is, I find it more exciting that way /s
I hear that. I usually have the same, I studied art and all of the people I met in that sphere are different from a general crowd, and quite a contrast to the offices I later worked in as a front end dev or designer. I usually ended up with meeting like minded people from other departments rather than my own (which often was interpreted as not being loyal to any team in the department —-ack office politics, what a minefield!—-

Also tangential: I'm looking for this kind of solution too. I always rejected xmodmap on the basis of it being specific to X11 and not necessarily "working everywhere".

I personally want to be able to use S-c and S-v to copy-paste everywhere, but have a solution that works across all programs: terminal, Emacs, Firefox, etc.
It is particularly interesting to track the use of the bright colors. Pre-consumerist societies did not have a marketing sector so everything was more natural color tinted (which to our eyes looks drab).

So if you focus for example on the color red you find it is used extensively in political signaling context (not totally surprising given the location and era :-), to differentiate gender clothing and, in one instance, a religious building.
> You can tell immediately within 10-15 minutes if a person has "the right stuff"

I do a lot of interviewing for our company, and I used to think this too. But I've been totally wrong a few times. Sometimes someone I've been 100% sure about has been let go after a few months, while some I've been very iffy about have turned out to be excellent coworkers.

The UK and Australia both utilised women in WWII and post WWWII "Land Army" roles to replace the essential manual labor roles on farms and infrastructure vacated by men off at war and left vacant post ware due to death and injury.

> If you support with money and weapons a country which renamed dozens of streets to glorify Nazi collaborators, why would you vote for the resolution condemning rehabilitation of Nazism?

Because the is more about Russia using its place within these organisations to try and further its own goals and justify its brutal invasion of Ukraine more then trying to combat Nazism.

I mean, the irony isn't lost on me here that Russia, a country who's main PMC force in Ukraine and abroad is named after Hitlers favourite composer, and whose leader has SS lightning bolts tattooed on his lapel is pushing a UN resolution to "combat Nazism".
To me, decoding a QR code by hand is a cool feat, like solving a Rubik’s cube. It is very unlikely that you will ever need to do it.

I struggled with linear algebra in college, in part because my professor had a tenuous grasp of the English language. Strang's book was our textbook, and I did a bit of digging and found the OCW lectures. I stopped going to class, and instead would spend the time at the library to watch Strang's lectures and take notes.

I was one of the very few students to ace the class, and I will be forever grateful.

Which agrees with how the text mentions May Day 1953 several times, including in the caption of a picture taken from the new US Embassy building, opened shortly after that May Day.

The "parade in front of the former U.S. Embassy building on Manezhnaya ploshchad, Moscow" would be from the old embassy, but could still be after Stalin's death.

There's also "18 Novinsky bulvar under construction in Moscow" and http://wikimapia.org/12359967/Novinsky-bulvar-18 says it was constructed in 1953.

FWIW, Manhoff was in Russia when Stalin died. "From a balcony with a view to the Kremlin, Major Manhoff shot the only known independent footage of Stalin’s funeral." "U.S. Army Major Martin Manhoff had been in Moscow for more than a year when on March 5, 1953, after several days of ominous reports in the Communist Party mouthpiece Pravda, Josef Stalin died." - https://www.rferl.org/a/manhoff-archive-part-one-stalins-fun...

Many of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty images are the same as those on Rare Historical Photos. That's because at the bottom of the Rare Historical Photos page you'll read "Photo credit: Courtesy of Douglas Smith, via Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty / Martin Manhoff’s Archive / Bored Panda / Pinterest".

So if you want more old pictures of Moscow, and video, see the RFE/RL link too. Then go to part 3 and see places outside of Moscow - after Stalin's death, travel was easier.
Unopposed estrogen (i.e. the old estrogen only HRT) is bad for women of all sizes, endometrial cancer sucks.

Separately, obesity causes higher system estrogen levels and carries the same risks.

> Who cares?

Anyone trying to have a discussion/debate about ideologies, like what you are trying to do. Words have meaning, in a discussion this meaning matters. If you don't care, then you don't care for the discussion, you are just soapboxing.
That is absurd.
This viewpoint is just plain crazy. If you worked in tech you'd be totally disposable, just like all the rest of us programming drones. Hit 40-50 and boom, unless you've transitioned into management, suddenly no one wants to hire you, or if they do its half of what you were making before.

Your MD degree and the AMA literally writing laws on your behalf limits labor supply competition like nothing in tech. You may have noted 250K+ tech layoffs in last year or so. Many of those people could probably code circles around you. Where are the physician layoffs? There aren't any.

If you want fewer hours, work fewer hours. What are they going to do, fire you? They can't. There is a shortage as this notes.
I have quite a few servers with hetzner. I don't know what the exact criteria are but once you hit around 250TB/month per server with multiple servers for (likely) multiple months in a row then they will tell you to chill out or they will terminate. I've gotten it and I've seen a few others on lowendtalk mention it too.

I've been using hetzner for a couple years and have always used them for my high bandwidth services but I have only gotten that notice once despite being a very heavy user, and around the same time everyone else did around a year ago. Maybe they're gonna start to care? With all the price hikes and all. I ended up just getting more servers to level it all out.
They're hiding their not-yet-cleared queue, if you scroll to the right there should be visible cards, even logged-off.

The bias in the writer is so absurd. It's like in order to talk about the enemy you constantly have to remark how ebil they are compared to us. Obviously, we modern liberal democrats possess none of their defects.

This juxtaposition of BBC reporting on DPRK overlaid on the british queen funeral procession[0] brilliantly demonstrates the kind of bias I'm talking about, and how it's more often than not a form of projection of one own issues on others.

A few examples of the bias I'm talking about and how it can as easily be applied to "liberal" societies:

One notable event chronicled in Manhoff’s diary is his participation in the May Day parade of 1953. He vividly describes the grandiosity of the event, with its elaborate displays of military might and the orchestrated enthusiasm of the Soviet people.

It becomes evident that the parade was a carefully choreographed spectacle, designed to showcase the Soviet Union’s ideology and power to the world.

Literally any parade involves a "choreographed spectacle" as it's always about showcasing power to the world.

Despite the pervasive atmosphere of control and suspicion, Manhoff’s diary also reveals moments of genuine connection and warmth between him and the Soviet citizens.

This pervasive atmosphere is nowhere to be seen in the pictures, but of course they had to remind you that these are the ebil commies. The pictures alone look too human otherwise.

The secret police played a crucial role in maintaining the conformity necessary for the survival of the socialist regime.

Easily reversed: The NSA and FBI played a crucial role in maintaining the conformity necessary for the survival of the capitalist regime.

Understanding life in the Soviet Union during this era requires delving into the intricacies of the state-controlled society, the hardships faced by ordinary citizens, and the pervasive ideology that permeated every aspect of life.

Easily reversed: Understanding life in the USA during this era requires delving into the intricacies of the capital-controlled society, the hardships faced by ordinary citizens, and the pervasive ideology that permeated every aspect of life.

I think this hits the nail in the head for the argument I was trying to make: if you as a candidate feel the process is too long or daunting for you, you don't have to attend. It's that simple. Why would you expect compensation if people will do it for free or because they just want to take a shot at the job? To me it truly feels like entitlement... And of course the vast majority of us, myself included, can apply to "lesser known" companies, be done with interviews in a couple of days and it'll all also be good... Obviously compensation will come according to the effort... Demanding money for providing just a signal is useless
