The open source ones should be fine for a laptop APU. Certainly alot better than whatever the hell Nvidia think they're doing...

But yeah, for fancier features like OpenCL, Vulkan, raytracing, you'd have to use amdgpu "pro" drivers which includes many proprietary parts.

Intel are definitely committed to providing open source Linux drivers for the gpus, at least based on past behaviour. They've had open source drivers for the iGPUs pretty much since the beginning(2010), IIRC.

My last two desktops actually didn't have dGPUs at all because I couldn't be bothered, and I'm not much of a gamer. But now GPUs are too important for many other things, so I'm very happy that Intel got into it. And they didn't disappoint with drivers again really. Though it did take some time to get really sorted, mostly because they had a lot of driver tech debt to sort out on all platforms. So drivers have been shifty all around, but now they're quite stable.
I am sorry for your loss and I hope you find the strength and meaning to carry on.
Good call. I was going to, but for some reason I didn't see the report in 2019 when checking. Edited into the original comment
Talking to those people is always great. It either gives them a way to share their problems with somebody, or you find someone who has a really interesting past and you can learn a lot. Best thing that ever happened to us was meeting a retired space engineer who worked on the Hubble telescope. My son was wearing a NASA sweater with an explosion drawing of the Hubble, and the old man explained on his shirt how the Hubble works and on what parts he had worked. I still regret that on another occation I did not talk to a man sitting next to me on a station platform. He looked exactly like a bum who had spent the previous night sleeping on the sidewalk in his own piss, but at second sight I noticed that his clothes were not only clean, but quite expensive (still looking shabby from distance), and he had a brand new expensive Rimowa suitcase. I would have loved to hear his story, but I had to catch my train.
Encrypted and stripped/sharded in most cases.

My employer just shredded somewhat new-ish enterprise grade SSD worth a few $M. It hurt to watch :(
There isn't an inherent cost, just an inherent inefficiency in the electricity -> hydrogen -> electricity process.

So the price would come down if they were massed produced.

Except you would need a market that is willing to pay the high cost until it comes down. Such a market segment has yet to materialise.

If you build satellite you need a source of energy that doesn't depend on your bringing fuel for it. So you're willing to pay the obscene starting price of PV. If you needed/wanted clean electricity made off-grid you're willing to pay for PV since it had many benefits over the alternatives (if they even existed in your situation).

What is the same starting market for fuel cells? It would have to:

1. Not care that the hydrogen is difficult to transport to that location, or be willing to invest in the costly equipment to make and store it on site.

2. It would have to be willing to put up with the poor end-to-end efficiency, both in absolute and relative terms.

3. It would need to be isolated from a grid such that you would require storage in the first place.

4. It would need to be long term and isolated enough such that batteries, pumped hydro, connection to the grid, and overbuilding of renewable are not a viable/cheaper alternative.
That is about a public tender, where there are "form requirements", meaning that certain documents and signatures have to conform to the required form. Usually that means "in writing, on paper, with signatures made by hand" or the new legally accepted replacement of secure electronic signatures. Sometimes it might even mean signing the paper in front of a notary, e.g. for contracts regarding the sale of real estate. But in general, outside clearly defined exceptions, contracts and declarations do not have a form requirement, so even oral agreement or "conclusive behaviour" (sign language, point-and-grunt, silently carrying an item to the cash register) are absolutely valid.

Of course, when in doubt, proving the exact content of such an unwritten contract may be hard.
There have been multiple challenges on hard drives with substantial reward offered for anyone able to take a basic formatted drive with a few MB of files that were overwritten with 0s and recovering the files. Not once did any company accept the challenge let alone complete it. Every data recovery company would tell you that is not possible.

Today we have secure erase which is necessary to clear SSDs and I doubt there is any actual technology to recover from thia mechanism. A lot of hysteria has been shown around drive clearing in the standards and until the standards reflect the reality of what is really possible and what is really sufficient I can not see companies changing.
> Migration is one obvious mechanism.

Something humans are famously tolerant of each other doing? No, the other thing.

> Storing more heat in the ocean is another.

This is also part of the problem; storing CO2 in the ocean has adverse side effects too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_acidification
That depends on what the "has" means in "has types". If you want to multiply two words, you need to decide whether they're integers or floats -- those are types!

If C isn't blue collar enough for you, nothing is, beyond assembly.
IMO, if you're writing documentation, you should be aware that any sample text or code will be copy/pasted by someone and will end up in production there.
As a fan of the podcast, I give 0 shits what you think. Just don't watch instead of moaning about it.
That is an interesting distinction, the order we bring to things--nature refined and directed. Makes me recall this analogy I remember reading years ago about a Japanese Zen garden not being something you'd experience in nature but rather only from a human tended and curated garden. That image changed the way I think about nature and humans in nature.
I don’t have the goal of reducing my carbon output. As I have already explained I don’t need to.

My carbon footprint, or footprint of other kinds, doesn’t constitute a blip on the radar, because mine ends between now and a few decades from now, and doesn’t grow at all into the future, much less geometrically.
There's no other factory farms in Antarctica that I'm aware of, I think it's exponentially more difficult to establish and conduct such an operation there is my point.
It feels weird to me that they are not rather just laying down power layers first, then some copper, and then the logic layers.

So just build a deeper stack of layers, rather than flipping and grinding.

But probably there is a reason.
Yeah, it would pique interest, as I said "would be interesting enough to learn more though." - but I'm responding to the comment saying his reaction would be "“holy cow this is the future and I want to be a part of this”, then you’d roll the dice and apply." - which I really don't think so, there's a lot of big talkers and people new to the industry get burnt working for deluded individuals, and there's nothing obvious in the email to indicate if this is real deal or not.
This is something I've never heard of, but sounds interesting. Is this roadmap more to help you stay focused on career advancement? Or is there another reason?
Usually, language that tries to simplify or put things in layman's terms is missing important detail for fully specifying the problem. It's like watching the 3 minute version of a recipe on YouTube and thinking you have a good understanding of how it works, but then when you go to make it, you realize they didn't tell you if they used whole-wheat or all-purpose flour, or if they bake at 350 or 450, or in a glass or aluminum pan. If you try to follow the recipe, you might end up with something significantly different. It's not that the quick, intuitive version isn't useful, you can gain a lot of insight and get a high level picture often much quicker than you would reading the complete, fully specified recipe. But if what you want to do is reproduce the recipe exactly, you need the fully specified version. Personally when I'm writing technical documents, I prefer to include both the intuitive overview and the fully specified technical version.
The Medieval Origins of Architectural Drawing
Lots of people thinking you are an idiot does not mean you can't say it. I saw plenty of people saying things about vaccines, masks, ivermectin.

But yes, when hundreds of thousands of people are dying globally, I think patience for those things wears thin in a personal capacity.

But I would seriously question whether something is really 'taboo' if ~half of the country is watching media outlets where they ask these questions regularly, which is the case in the domestic US.
Would people really accept a $3500 plastic headset though? It seems unlikely. As much as the Vision Pro is being lampooned now, it'd be even more intense if it didn't look and feel like a $3500 product.

I fully expect the more pared-down cheaper mainstream consumer versions to be plastic though, much like the cheaper AirPods.
Show me something so terrible now as to overshadow the incomprehensible beauty of our existence on Mother Earth and I’ll show you an anxious/obsessive/depressive neurosis.

No one’s going to be around forever, might as well enjoy it while you’re here. Being depressed benefits nobody, least of all the environment.

If someone says they're "working at <institution>", I don't assume some counterposition to their statements, like that they're really trying to say that it's their alma mater. I interpret it to mean that they're working there.
Is there a tool to see negative karma or did you add it all up manually?
This is mostly a cheap trick to inflate vanity metrics. Giant iPad screens are not what people think of when you say “spatial computing”.

Only spatial computing apps matter.
I have the same feeling. The features they packed into there is like if they had every engineer working on it write something down on a paper note and throw it into a hat and then build everything that was suggested into a single device.

There is probably quite a bit of room to cut out things, first and foremost the EyeSight ( even though it's cool ) to get to a more reasonable product.
The only caveat I'd like to say, I think we shouldnt assume every user isnt a VIP.

I'm not a VIP, but I have some huge huge huge secrets that are worth at least a million dollars, maybe 10s of millions of dollars, that I need to access with a computer.

Malware means potentially losing millions or tens of millions of dollars. I'm so afraid of those secrets, I don't even access them on my windows computers unless necessary.

I'd love to be comfortable doing this, but given anyone can seemingly make a python keylogger, I'm not really comfortable using my computer(windows or linux) for this purpose. Gaming/updating my website/etc... all of that, who cares if I'm hacked, I got backups. I just havent found a great way to keep secrets that need to go online.
> the politicians are the real mafia

Mate. The mafia is a real thing already.

Yes, politicians engage in some incredibly corrupt shit. Kids in cages for profit, starting wars based on lies to funnel trillion into banks, selling tens or hundreds of billions in arms to bonesaw-wielding dictator Kings, trading guns for drugs with gangs, etc.

Yes, the mafia and other gangs literally own some politicians. And vice versa, for sure.

BUT! Sturgeon is just about the most milquetoast possible example you could ever have chosen. EVEN IF the allegations against her are true, which is far from proven afaict.
You can most of that via USB, though. And for storage you'd be better served by M.2.
Nah, there's probably a dozen or so people like you.
There's also no reason to assume that if you are throwing out UTF-16 that you at that point won't also also be planning to extend past 31-bytes and out into the next plane (out into 63-bits).

Assuming UTF-32 is UCS-4 and will never address future planes is how Unicode got into the situation that UTF-16 isn't infinitely expandable and is stuck at the 21-bit boundary.
There are a few options:

- Bring some cash and exchange it here.

- Open a bank account here and transfer money there (yes, there are some ways).

- Bring crypto wallet keys along and use crypto ATMs.

- Exchange through a friend/relative with accounts on both sides of the iron curtain.

Trademark is suppose to be about customer confusion, no one is confused here.

This is just once again showing that intellectual privilege laws are too draconian and the only solution is massive congressional reform, but that has little hope as just like the Supreme Court, the congress believes in intellectual privilege maximalism, any reform from congress will likely expand not reduce intellectual privilege
Honestly, if privacy is the primary concern, you should only be looking at self-hosted solutions.

> He doesn't fall into the left or right dichotomy.

I am a fan of Jon Stewart, but the fact that I have never heard someone on the right-wing claim that Jon Stewart is non-partisan while I hear it frequently from mainstream democrats should tell you something about the veracity of the claim.
It is astounding how OPs generally decent point was completely derailed because he made the misstep of limiting the scope of his ire to oil. This is so common in online discussions that I wish there was a way to 'rewind' and restart a discussion after making a correction.
Our civilization doesn't have thousands of years ahead of it, unless something changes radically.

7500 - 9000 is just a wishful thinking ... we won't make it there without functioning ecosystems
Nothing wrong with that unless you got Catfished into a role or aren't enjoying your job.
I did go with the 4090 and so far don't regret it. It has forced me to learn about some memory reducing tricks when I want to fine tune SD, but it's been fun to see what can be done.

While it may not be enough VRAM for the future, I'm sort of taking the opposite stance: I'm only going to be playing with AI that I can build on my own machine using (high end) consumer hardware.

People have been creating amazing work with only SD 1.4 and 1.5. If this is the limit of what I can do with SD for the next few years, so be it, there's more than enough to play with and I'm personally not willing to fully cede the future of AI to large corps. There needs to be hackers in the space pushing the limits of what can be done (without worrying about copyright, TOS, etc).

Maybe the best stuff will be locked behind a server, but I'm much more interested in the creative possibilities of running projects (nsfw and otherwise) on my personal hardware.

That said, I think it's great to extend that logic to less price pieces of hardware (i.e. I'm only interested in what I can build at home on 8gb of VRAM, etc)
>> If the data is going to get printed in a monospace font, on a passport or credit card

In the case of limited space, you absolutely can count characters and limit them in the UI. For data storage though you would provision "enough bytes". Think approximately 4 bytes per character, plus a bit extra just in case.

But I agree in most cases the length limits are completely arbitrary and simply made up by the programmer at the time the database is designed. (Hint: They are _always_ too short, especially if the programmer lacks experience.)
Life’s lessons can be learned in a myriad of ways. Stoicism resonates with many people because they find it applicable to what they’re experiencing in life, but that brings the implication with it that many people are bound to discover the same insights. This has happened since time immemorial, and ideas are reborn, repackaged, re-contextualized for a new era.

Stoicism also comes loaded with shoulds and shouldn’ts as they pertain to living a “virtuous life”, and for many people, this is too close to religious dogma for comfort. Put another way, there are many people who might benefit from the ideas but would bristle at the thought of turning to something that resembles religion.

But the underlying philosophical insights that can be found in stoicism can be also found across many other contemplative traditions.

When reading a piece like this, I don’t find it particularly interesting to try to reduce the author’s personal discoveries to “oh that’s just <philosophy>”. Many people find the stories of others helpful because they’re less abstract and heady than a series of intellectually sound ideas that might not feel very helpful when someone is going through the shit.

I’d argue that you missed the point of the piece. Knowing that stoicism (or Buddhism, etc…) exist doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the recollection of one’s personal journey. Some people are looking for a philosophy of life. Some people are just looking for comfort in knowing that others have experienced something that validates their own pain. And some people share their own journeys to make/find meaning in the pain, and it is this sharing that is more interesting than its resemblance to famous ideas.

Nothing that is at the same scale as Reddit. The only real alternatives are niche forums which have been around forever now.
> If Reddit leadership reached out and worked things out privately and in a productive manner with 3rd party app developers to create a plan and agree on reasonable timelines,

Well to be fair, that appears to be exactly what was happening until the dev of Apollo spat the dummy and turned it into a public mega drama before actually consulting with the users of his App on how much they'd be willing to pay.
He did? What did they say?
Ask HN: Top of Funnel Fraud Solutions
Hey all, I am looking for a little advice on a lightweight SaaS offering to protect my top-of-funnel user sign-ups coming from my website. Recently, we’ve been getting more and more bad signups with fake email, etc. It could be a coincidence, but it seems to coincide with the recent wave of ChatGPT (not sure if relevant - maybe the recent advancements with AutoGPT..?).

I was trying to find something that I could put in front of my user sign-up flows to see if I could weed them out more (save me money emailing, advertising, trying to convert, etc) and came across FullContact’s Verify products. Their “match” offering, accepts user provided input, and tells me if the sign up information looks suspicious or not. So far seems to be providing decent results in recommending when to introduce some friction vs not.

Anyway, my trial is ending next week and I was curious if anyone has experience working with FullContact or this product? Here are the relevant links if you’re curious. Appreciate the input in advance.

People in the GDR were pressured a lot to have kids and to leave them with state institutions very early. Wouldn't be surprised if the USSR was the same.

Indeed, it's not sufficient. I don't think people want a "eh, it's almost good enough most of the time" blocking feature. They don't want their block list to be public at all (this is a dealbreaker already) and they don't want other people ever to see blocked people's replies dangling off the bottom of their posts. The client-side mute feature prevents 100% of those posts from appearing to the one client, while keeping the list private. The block feature then, necessarily, must be about other people not seeing the replies to your posts. Otherwise, all you need is the easy client-side mute feature. And indeed, I think the block feature is broken enough that client-side mute is the only thing they can reasonably do.

There WILL be people defeating the block for anyone who can see it and screenshotting it for anyone who can't. As an obvious example, imagine what would happen if Donald Trump were on Bluesky. He will receive both blocked replies AND people will leak his block list.
Isn't (at least) the Hololens the starting point?
The way I see it:

* Proprietary software allows me to get things done, sometimes with some user-hostility baked in, but in general, no software explicitly forces me to use it and I can weigh the pros of doing the thing vs the cons of user-hostility and decide whether to use it.

* Free software is more interested to promote some impractical ideology, at the expense of getting things done. More effort is spent on ideology rather than useful (and usable, in terms of UX) functionality, which is why proprietary (and even extremely user-hostile) software thrives.

Keep in mind that recent deviances of proprietary software with regards to privacy are more due to the effective legalization of spyware and fraud (when committed by a business as opposed to an individual) as well as an adtech/marketing and VC bubble rather than proprietary software itself.

We've had commercial, paid, proprietary software back in the day that was respectful of the user and where the incentives were actually aligned - the software was as good as it could be in order to convince the user to pay for it and recommend it to others. You get the occasional annoying DRM but I'm happy to take that in exchange for a healthy ecosystem of usable software.

Proprietary software doesn't have to be malicious, and its maliciousness can be fixed with legislation and regulation (enforcing the existing ones would be a good start) without getting rid of the concept of proprietary software itself.

Free software doesn't just have a PR problem - there are many verticals where a free software implementation either doesn't exist, can't get off the ground (because more resources are spent on bikeshedding and furthering ideology rather than making software) or is perpetually half-baked and its backers are deluded in thinking it's a viable alternative to the proprietary competition. I'd argue they wouldn't actually need PR if they had good software/hardware, it would sell itself (if anything, merely by being free as in money compared to paid, proprietary competition).
Not really. I’m a photographer, not a plumber.

My Camaro is pretty full for weddings though, where I’m bringing all of my equipment + backups.
Imgur did something similar. They kept removing functionality to the point where you can't comment at all on the mobile browser website.

I don't use imgur on my phone anymore... mission accomplished?
But organisms are adapted to summer and winter cycles, they don't suddenly appear, they have been the same for ages.

But change the timing a little, and you have eggs hatching weeks before the caterpillars that the chicks eat appear, and lots of them die. They co-evolved for a fixed time at which spring appeared, now that timing is off and evolution isn't quick enough to move along with climate change.
