Elm has a special syntax construct (similar to a Haskell quasiquote) to embed GLSL code into Elm files, and typechecking it as well.

I imagins this is useful when writing shaders for WebGL apps that are written in Elm. I don't know why Gren removed them, though.
My problem with the quote system is that it's largely opaque until you run into it. Yes, you can pore through the documentation and find the relevant quotas, but did you find them all? Spoiler alert: no, you didn't.

I know they are trying to improve visibility on quota limits, and they have a tool now, but in my experience it was half baked and only knew about a handful of the limits we were running into.
Why not build your own and avoid restrictions commercial drones come with?
disclaimer: no channel, just an observer

Is YouTube the only medium you're considering?

For business, my understanding is that people now find success mainly though multi-channel and upgrade channels, so you would have some shorts/tic-toks, substack, instagram, twitter, ... (Which suggests some IDE support for the various artifacts being repurposed...) The goal seems to be to convert ~0.5% of the free folks to the $200 upsell: the batch of books, the online course (esp. if constantly updated). See e.g., Kat Norton, https://www.hackingwithswift.com, ...

While my personal preference runs to no-fluff-just-stuff, success seems to lie in motivating people with each step, with curiosity and enthusiasm, in part because that targets people who want to do X, but find themselves blocked (in part from frustration, loneliness, ...). It's probably a lot easier to unblock people who are just confused and frustrated, than to give focused people real insight. It may be more valuable as well, to lift all boats.
It's a very convenient way to convert identity theft into cash. A huge amount of cloud crypto mining is paid for in fraudulent credit cards. Detecting and banning crypto mining greatly reduces % of fraudulent transactions as these attackers will move on to greener pastures.

They can also use an absolutely incredible amount of resources, because it's not their money. Two hundred A100 GPU's for a week? Sure, why not?
How could it be better?

Could easily make the same argument when some city spends 3 billion to build a 4 mile subway extension.

The fare recovery rate is absolutely terrible in the US. Expecting 100% isn't exactly necessary, but NYC is at 20%.

Why doesn't the NSA just AUDITS actual source code of the software that it deems it deserves to increase its security?

I mean it's obviously an interest to national security.

They could do that while maintaining the backdoors they want to keep so they can have an edge on cyber warfare.
This is very helpful, thanks! Looks like I have some reading to do about IP forwarding.
Yeah ok, I was just pointing out that the data is ultimately being sent to Microsoft owned infra.
Which claim does the burden of proof land on? That an artificial super intelligence can easily be controlled or that it cannot? And what is your rational for deciding?
> I found the manifesto to be lucid and well-argued.

> For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them. But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm black people, because the activists’ hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred.

To paraphrase 'ole ted "You see, affirmative action makes white people feel bad and mad at black people which is the real secret goal of leftists".

Do you, or have you ever, felt mad a black person because of affirmative action? I can even grant that you think affirmative action was a bad idea for any reason you like, that's not the question. The question is, did it make you or anyone you know mad at black people? My guess is anyone mad at a black person because of affirmative action would still be mad at them without it.

This is what people mean when they say it's incoherent. He rambles for several paragraphs offering no evidence for his position (after all, he was pooping in a bucket in the middle of the woods... so not much opportunity to cross reference things). The examples he comes up with are laughably dumb.

I don't mean this too harshly, but maybe you reread the manifesto with a more critical eye. 14 is too young to be reading stuff like this critically. You simply weren't old enough to spot the bullshit.
I've actually wondered why projects like WINE and ReactOS didn't just start with Windows and replace one DLL at a time until there was no Windows code left. Then again, it seems weird that we hyper focus on the value of the source code and not all the engineering effort that went into the architecture. As in I can make a command-for-command knockoff of Unix and that's fair game, but if I reuse "a = b + c" that's a violation.
Grand juries are sworn to secrecy already, with pretty strict penalties if that secrecy is broken. There is no reason that this can't apply to so-called "Top Secret" information (a label that is already applied far too liberally) if you run a background check on them. Over a million people have a TS-level clearance already. Grand juries would add another few hundred.

People who like the FISA court want that grand jury to have the powers of a court. This is ridiculous.
Yep. I used to work next to the Holland tunnel and the vast, vast majority of cars leaving the city at rush hour have exactly one occupant.
Without any comparison to humans those numbers are completely meaningless

I had to close my GCP account because I was being spammed with "Action Required" emails every day for a non-existent tax admin issue. Bug reports were immediately closed and getting through to a human seems impossible.
It's hard to imagine a scenario in which a metal detector on the NYC subway is useful in a way that isn't extremely annoying to the millions of people who carry their laptops, phones, etc. with them to work each day.

(My only experience with a "metal detector" on a metro system is Bangkok's metro. The detector was unplugged at the first station, and everybody was waved past it at the second station.)
It’s too bad the CIA isn’t even mentioned. Horrible what they did to him and other students.

I can’t remember, but I think the professors that ran the experiments were all mostly killed or killed themselves.

Doesn’t excuse what Kaczynski did. Others should have been brought to justice as well.

Looks like this doesn't support musl libc-based distributions? Also, it seems to require an account to download, which seems odd.
It is absolutely related to the current conversation, though - fossil fuels as diplomatic leverage. Russia's economy couldn't support the war without trade in fossil fuels either.
Those millions (especially in developed countries where the per capita number of accidents is highest) won't be able to buy Teslas anyway.

Statically you could decrease the number of deaths by 20-30% by just banning cars older than 10 years. There are some other (cheaper) things that can be done as well.
What is really well? Can me have a metric? What resolution and what frame rate?
Less wear on the roads (due to dramatically lower weight). Less space taken up, more efficient in urban scenarios. Tolls, especially bridge tolls, should scale with the weight of the vehicle.
From what I understand, these sorts are only for direct lists of primitives. For most of the sorts I see, I'm trying to sort an array of structs with an embedded key. I know this organization destroys the memory access patterns that make SIMD effective. Is the best alternative to move the key out of the struct, and sort two arrays: one of primitive keys and another of original indices? This sort would still be very amenable to SIMD. It just requires a final pass where you rearrange the original array with the indices. Alternately, you could avoid sorting an array of indices and try sorting an struct of arrays directly. I don't see a lot of people handling this very frequent situation in these benchmarks. Any pointers?
Yes. The world is complex and nature is against us and things go horribly wrong all the time. And then sometimes humans are arseholes on top of that.

Congestion charges work.

They discourage journeys taken by car; reducing traffic, easing pollution and improving health.
What would a metal detector accomplish? There's something like 5-10 murders on the subway per year and those numbers are fairly stable, with small spikes around the pandemic when ridership went down drastically.

I'm all for a safer subway but your tone seems to imply that this is some out of control thing whereas it's extremely unlikely, statistically, that you will have any problem whatsoever on the subway.
I had to stop reading ...
If it breaks the laws of the land you can call it illegal. And without doubt immoral if it's used to mass control and surveil populations.

Autopilot is just fancy cruise control. How many crashes have there been with cruise control turned on? It's just a completely meaningless thing to even look at. How many crashes would there have been during those miles without autopilot?
> Left on red is never legal and marginal on yellow.

Not parituclarly relevant to the gridlock violation at issue here, but left on red from a one-way street to a one-way street is legal in the same conditions as right-on-red generally in a large majority of US states, a few of which also allow left-on-red from a two-way street to a one-way street. Left-on-red is only completely illegal in a few states.
I'm talking about the menus, titles, and non-local content though.

My most recent example is Prime Video. I'm in Portugal at the moment, and it seems like everything on the page is Portuguese. If I go to my profile, once I find it, all menus and labels are also in the local language. At this point, Amazon has been working with me for over 10 years in English. They know me.
Yeah, just kind of crazy that so many people don't proof read their comments anymore. I swear the number of easily spotted and fixed typos is getting ridiculous. I typed this on my phone and if i didn't constantly fix mistakes in word prediction it would be an unreadable mess.

It's gotten so bad that I'm left either to assume that most people out here either don't know English very well or are roughly code bots. Read your own comments before you post, people!
I'm gonna guess not autocorrect, but swype/swiftkey. y is next to t and d is adjacent to r. SwiftKey absolutely butchers me like this when I type slightly unfamiliar words, especially if I'm going fast. It would never let me type "ant" if I haven't already typed it once normally. And "more" being preferred over "mode" isn't that hard to believe too.
I agree with your take. My plugged into the wall machine is a 128GB 13900k 4090 system. My mobile machine is an Apple Silicon Macbook Pro. There are some tasks that are still better on the unified memory of the Macbook, but only a handful. There are many tasks that are more pleasant on the Macbook because of the absurd power efficiency (DAW, Final Cut Pro).

Both machines have a quality that I appreciate: they are never, ever slow.
None, cuz they weren't tried.

> If you buy anything labeled as "workstation", you're paying twice the price already.

The price of workstation-class machines also includes the cost of higher build-quality and stability, things like same-day support and service - at least the option for a long-term (5-6 year) warranty, and FRUs - you don't get that with consumer-grade computers - and those things matter when a machine is something you depend on professionally.
Banning means you don't need to maintain the infrastructure. You can let people walk all down the street. The pavement doesn't need to withstand thousands of pounds of vehicles. And so on.
Anonymity isn't necessary desirable for the people running the servers - it means extra work for people attempting to moderate the content on their instance. There are numerous other discussions about why a lack of moderation is often a bad thing for people running the servers.

Take down orders are resisted by having it sufficiently decentralized. It may be possible to take down one server, but taking down every server (even trying to take down every NNTP server in today's world) is a significant effort.

Usenet is a perfectly acceptable decentralized system for sending messages to each other and the world.

Stand one up with the groups that I'm interested in and I'll point my copy of trn at it.

> the worst part is that there's somebody in a GCP office somewhere that might secretly believe that I'm actually a cryptobro.

you're probably safe on that front, it isn't like the GCP folks are paying any attention to the customers.
Well, names should not be translated. Street names, for example, would be useless translated.

But UI labels should be presented in the profile-selected language rather than the local language.
> The medium to long distance public transport for going out of the city is horrible.

Airports are far, but we have tons of buses and trains that take you out of the city (including a train that takes you to the airport).
What’s the checklist have on it?
"To the extent that sounding like everything else is a problem, how is ML generated music not going to have it?"

AI generated art has explored all sorts of weird spaces that few humans have touched.

It's not difficult to make computers create unusual, original, bizarre work. The difficulty comes in making it both original and enjoyable/interesting.

Also consider that AI-generated music is often going to actually be a collaboration between a human and an AI. The human will be acting at least as a curator, because not everything created by AI is going to be pleasing, so some selection and catering to human taste will be required.
> I thought the whole idea of M2 was “exceptional product given the power consumption”.

When running native code.

Look at the performance of Microsoft's ARM Surface Pro when running emulated code.

> My frustration with this computer wasn’t a workload thing. It didn’t start out fast and gradually slow down as I opened more things and started more processes. It was peppered with glitches and freezes from start to finish.

I’d have only Slack open, and switching between channels would still take almost three seconds (yes, I timed it on my phone). Spotify, also with nothing in the background, would take 11 seconds to open, then be frozen for another four seconds before I could finally press play. When I typed in Chrome, I often saw significant lag, which led to all kinds of typos (because my words weren’t coming out until well after I’d written them). I’d try to watch YouTube videos, and the video would freeze while the audio continued. I’d use the Surface Pen to annotate a PDF, and my strokes would either be frustratingly late or not show up at all. I’d try to open Lightroom, and it would freeze multiple times and then crash.

It quickly became clear that I should try to stick to apps that were running natively on Arm.

I'm only considering them because of GKE autopilot and cloud run which both seem like completely painless ways to deploy containers (I've setup prototypes with both).
>business purposes

I can show you a company of 10,000+ people using Chromebooks and Macbooks for 'business purposes' with little regard for performance per watt.
I think with a different headline the comments would have been positive, but this one is misleading at best
> If you buy anything labeled as "workstation", you're paying twice the price already.

We are not comparing MacPros to low-end desktops.

> You can get a pre-built gaming PC with a 4090 for about $4000, that'll crush the M2 in compute if you use any kind of GPU acceleration.

Yes, but the gaming PC will not as well built as the workstation-grade machine. And pretty much any GPU you can install on a gaming PC you can install on a MacPro - it's just that it won't be there out of the (Apple branded) box.

> you're stuck with the amount of RAM you pick at checkout

Sadly, this has been Apple for some time now - you buy the machine as it will be used for its whole intended lifetime. With the MacPro you can at least add internal storage and one or more GPU cards.
>"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply to the fucking Unabomber. Bombing people is kind of his thing. He proved it, what, 16 times?

That won't stop people determined enough to defend him here, and as you can see people will die on that hill.

How many lives were saved due to his arrest? That we will never know, but I suspect the number is not zero.
With crossover and Apple's latest release of gameportingtoolkit I'm able to maintain over 120FPS on ultra settings at native resolution on Diablo 4 with my M2 Max MBP. It was fair to be skeptical before that release this week, but there's plenty of evidence out there now that Apple silicon can handle gaming just fine. Other users are reporting 50-60 FPS with ultra settings on their 6k Studio displays.
sadly I can only do a +1 once :)
The reality is people put them and their family first. Those that have they luxury to pursue such endeavors, should if they want to. Others, after a 9-5 and spending time with their loved ones, want to just decompress. And that’s okay.

Others, with the little time they have left, want to work towards not working for someone. That should be what’s encouraged. Because that is more likely to produce jobs, give freedom to those that profit, and has a higher chance of something good happening (versus working for a corporation until retirement - which is perfectly fine, but a path none the less)

I also have a gripe with individual citizens being responsible and taking the burden of climate change. Why should the working class, whose taxes have gone up, wages stagnated, be continually punished with higher costs due to proposed carbon taxes, or initiatives that drive the price of staples up purely due to climate change. That just foments resentment and contributes to the opposite of such activists goals.

Policies are too one sided. We should be pushing for reasonable policies, that acknowledge the enormous progress oil and gas has given the world, and understand changing it rapidly will cause more harm to people than good, and in all likelihood will delay projects. We should look at proven solutions, like nuclear technology. Invest in renewables, in research fusion research and the likes.

But the vast majority of social platforms represents a very very small percentage of people, and those that actually tweet/post/etc represent an even smaller percentage.

The hard truth is when things like gas and food increases, Americans notice that pain far more than what may happen 30 years from now. They care about how their family will do in the next week, month, and few years.

Punishing them to try and understand the problems via monetary taxes, or guilting them to participate in activists activities, or pushing education material that puts shame to what real education should stand for, won’t work. It will backfire.
> remote work does work initially, if you start with a system already healthy from in-person work

FWIW, while this may be sufficient, it isn’t necessary: our company has been remote for years, and always has been, with hardware and software products and professional services offered. For critical projects and for at critical times we will have in-person meetings at a virtual office, but otherwise everything is remote.

We have no trouble on-boarding new people, working through challenging designs, or otherwise getting things done.

It starts from the top, of course: our owner fully supports and prefers remote work, as do the rest of us.
I don't know much about the Unabomber's victims. Where can I read about your friend's dad?

Biology found an efficient solution to storing energy with hydrogen, and its hydrocarbons. I struggle to imagine why hydrogen-powered planes are superior other than on marketing merits.
The mindset that changing a system out has risks and that engineers/ops time is very expensive?

I mean, I hear you, it sucks that being honest about the issue is leading to punishment, but rationally this is just how people are going to end up responding. If they really want to avoid this, don't give it to them for free, pay them for it.

These numbers don’t really tell you anything useful about whether Tesla is an outlier unless they’re normalized in some way, such as crashes per vehicle equipped with a driver assistance system.
Oh I see, you're essentially describing what I think of as aural contextual clues/associations. Sure, that's very real and I've experienced it first hand.

Though I'm sceptical how directed it can really be. There are some songs that have a bizarre effect on me for sure. Though most of the time it's because I had some strange experience involving the combination of said music with psychedelic drugs. And now the music can induce echoes of that experience. But it's just sort of an association that happened by accident.

I guess I could see people using this phenomenon in a more deliberate manner. And you certainly seem to be doing so. Though it could be that you're just somehow more able to than most people.
Can someone explain what the heck EXACTLY is Vercel without the marketing gobledygook about how they empower frontend developers to follow their inspiration at the speed of thought and so on BS.
A UI for cloud services is super helpful to have when exploring, troubleshooting, and noodling around. But yeah, massive red flag if anyone’s using it to deploy production services.
Because those are slower, more complex, and more difficult to understand?
