HN already has a rate limit. You get the message "You're posting too fast" when you exceed it. Though I think it's also tied to karma and might not trigger when all those comments get upvoted. And if you try to downvote them all, you'll run into the protections against mass-downvoting. Tuning the feedback loops to encourage good discussions while damping flamewars is a difficult problem.

'plan simple games' so are you counting complex games as professional use in your example?

Let's say I'm a professional researcher for some oil company. My job will primarily consist of browsing the web and writing stuff up, does that make that job not fit into the 'professional' category? You're being paid to browse the web and just report on what you found....

This was the source of the "anomalous tokens" phenomenon where the usernames of prolific counters was yielding weird and unexpected behavior on the OpenAI models.

While definitely an interesting scientific curiosity, is there a reason you'd actually want this in a production model?
That‘s just silly - I drive my (manually shifted) car basically solely in the highest gear in non-city traffic and have the same effect. Nothing to do with automatic, but with powerful cars.
At the end of the day, this was because the hardware ecosystem (and the hardware support in Linux/bootloaders/etc) isn't really "ready" yet, and also there was slow and unclear communications between the porting team, the core Debian teams and one of the hosting providers. Eventually the teams provisionally approved the port, but after that the needed actions weren't done in time for the archive-wide rebuild that happens during the process of an unofficial port becoming official. I'm not on the porting team, but am on the Debian sysadmin team, and tried to speed up the process and make it more transparent. Debian contributors are mostly volunteers, so things take time.
In the case your work is actual tech work, and not some managerial position where you have to learn how to play politics

Step 1. Always have savings to survive months of being out of work.

Step 2. If you have anxiety or other issues in being at work, get some professional help. It may be as simple as an ADHD diagnosis that is causing you to ruminate on things, and a Vyvanse prescription will actually calm you down and allow you to think clearly.

Step 3. When it comes to work, treat it as a contract. You are paid to do the technical work. Office politics are irrelevant. Do good work and let it stand for itself. If you are encountering adversarial things that are hindering your ability to do assigned work, let your manager know. If the manager doesn't fix it right there and then, and you have no real desire or skill of navigating the adversarial atmosphere, quit.
OpenCL has been deprecated on macOS since the M1 was released so the M1 drivers won't optimise for OpenCL.

The major platforms do use the same graphics API, Vulkan. It should be preferred due to more low-level access and wider platform support (Linux, Android, Nintendo, MacOS, Windows).

On another note, problems that keep major AAA games from running on Linux (Anti-cheat solutions for example) will block many games from running ob MacOS, too.

you misunderstand inner peace.

inner peace is a peace which cannot be disturbed by external circumstances.

inner peace means peace even amid disease. peace even amid violence.
Rewind to 1999 or 1976. There was always workplace-appropriate communication, say the title on a corporate business card. Using that as a medium to advance personal views was and is inappropriate.
The RISC-V port of Debian was driven by internal Debian contributors, not by external actors. Similarly for Debian kFreeBSD and some other ports. OTOH, for LoongArch and ARC, those ports are driven almost entirely by the companies selling those chips. So I would say it is a mix.
The performance benefits can be very real if used well btw. As an example I have a request-heavy piece of code that used to take > 16hrs to run which took about 2.5mins once changed to async, and that's with adding rate limiting etc so I'm not flooding external servers with requests.

What secure labs don't work on dangerous viruses? I guess I now wonder about your correction heh.
I personally believe in Rootlclaim's Bayesian analysis (https://www.rootclaim.com/analysis/What-is-the-source-of-COV...) which states that "the virus was developed during
gain-of-function research and was released by accident (89% probability)"

This is consistent with David Martin's speech in Europe: https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/1661698114917646336

I haven't checked the "publicly available references" but many who inssist on a natural cause read about the bat theory in the first few months and then haven't updated & aren't willing to update their models.

If you find any faults that can really change the results in the analysis Rootclaim made, I would be interested.
Can it work without being granted access to the user's github? Getting authorization to private repos should not be necessary to work with random public repos on github or local code only.
I loved this! I'm itching to see the results for "Tiny Awards for Small Websites with a ton of unnecessary scripts and trackers". Oh wait, they're already listed on this site.
Currently the SEC disclosure work scales sub-linearly with size. Because you only need to report on 'material information' and what counts as material is about relative size.

Forcing companies to report on any effort above 1 mil might make reporting on big companies so horrible they prefer to split up?
> Most importantly, the general reader should know that all labs researching viruses do research on dangerous viruses. After all there is no incentive to research benign viruses.

That is completely untrue. Agricultural labs for instance research plant viruses which are _incompatible_ with humans completely. Still these plant virus would have to be researched under stringent isolation because of the damage they may pose to crops.

> Most importantly, the general reader should know

Speak on our level, don't baby us.
There a loads of cars with automatic transmission in Europe - especially the newer, medium to premium level cars. But it definitely isn‘t as prevalent as in the US.

It is no problem at all to drink coffee or even eat while driving a manual car, so no idea where this comes from ;)
That’s not right because it implies that only new cars since 2015 can drive inside the ULEZ.

The ULEZ standard requires diesel cars to conform to Euro 6, available since 2015 - the diesel emissions scandal notwithstanding. (The in-practice standards for diesel cars are much much more lenient than for petrol cars.)

The ULEZ standard requires petrol cars to conform to only Euro 4, required since 2005 but some cars manufactured as early as 2001 meet the standard including my 2002 MINI.

This means relatively few people are actually affected by ULEZ, compared to the implication that you need a car manufactured from 2015 onwards.
But the very fact that Kaczynski's ideas were widely published and read directly led to his arrest. If the consideration is to be purely strategic, his case should be an argument in favor of dissemination.
I haven't bothered to learn why, but if both broadcaster and viewer are behind a symmetric NAT, usual STUN tricks don't always seem to work in practice. At least they haven't worked for me.

I have a DIY WebRTC forwarder for a RTSP stream, that lives on a home server behind a NAT. It has NAT because it lives in a cgroup that's isolated to IoT VLAN, and I haven't originally planned on WebRTC there, hoping I could make it work with restreaming over HTTP or Websockets. The NAT there is of the most common type: nftables' masquerade statement for the appropriate output interface, the usual conntrack allow established,related rule, and rule that allows outbound connections. For whatever reason, WebRTC only worked for me when my viewing device wasn't behind any other NATs.

Now, this is not a proper argument. Being a very lazy ass I haven't bothered with diagnostics so I don't know why it hadn't worked. I was already quite frustrated with various cross-browser JS shenanigans and after checking that STUN was indeed configured but had not worked, I've just punched a couple of port forwards and called it a day.

For whatever reason P2P streaming seem to work somewhat worse in practice than it should've been in theory. Usual computer leprechauns, I guess.
Regulation against vertical integration should have much less of such an effect.

From elm.studio:

"We are bringing the simplicity and friendliness of Elm to hosting. No configuration. Just press publish."

And from the About Page on elm.studio:

"The ultimate goal is to produce a fun and simple programming language, with the kind support and camaraderie of people who like what we do and how we do it."

Very little information about what is the next step in Elm's life, or even whether they've actually left it... I guess the upcoming talk on StrangeLoop[1] may clear things up... his description on that talk hints at what he's up to:

"He lives in Denmark, working alongside his wife at elm.studio to keep Elm independent and interesting."

Elm may still be alive, just not publically for now.

Hmmm, being from Europe and having driven on a holiday in the US, I'd say that people are more careful and respect rules better in the US than in Europe (certainly than Southern Europe, but even in parts of the North). Driving in US reminded me of driving in the UK.

Of course, US is a big country and my perception could be not very typical. Extrapolating from one data point is dangerous. It's like comparing driving in Naples and Amsterdam. Both are Europe, but the driving experience is fairly dissimilar.
a and b are basically the same point, since they both can be abstract to the point "make revenue".

I used Apollo because it provides a much better user experience and it is not even close to Reddits own App.
The occasional Blue Peter features where they showed the production process and visited the various backstage locations at TVC were always my favourites. I'm now a member of the RTS and get to attend various events about how particular programmes are made (most recently Eurovision) but they enabled my one and only trip to TVC on a session about virtual studios, back when they were new.
I said essentially zero marginal cost, not actually zero.
We could never figure out what to call these and just ended up with "utils.py"

They're definitely necessary though, most of what we were doing didn't map cleanly to a single model/manager so it would have been a confusing mess to shoehorn it into there.
Even the open firmware that does exist has some major issues (like needing a proprietary compiler) or the hardware that it can run on it checks for Intel signatures, or only exists on archive.org, or is packaged in Debian but not properly built from source code, or exists but is only useful for obscure/ancient hardware that only people who want libre firmware buys, requires a forked compiler/toolchain to build, etc. Basically, open firmware is a hard problem and there aren't a lot of people with the skills and interest in doing it. I'm trying to at least document what exists on the wiki, anyone know of more projects?

This is a purely political decision that does not depend on the availability of autonomous vehicles. It won't happen because it would reduce property prices.

this really depends on the software. a website using a "slow" interpreted programming language (php, python, ruby etc) in a "heavy" application that runs many tasks in the background on each pageload does not compare to a website that merely returns static information, either directly from the webserver or mostly from cache (no or much less need to waiting for cpu to process, or disks to fetch data vs ram). it is easier to just archive and provide access to existing content than to also run all the "invisible" services around that content.
This all makes sense to me, but can you explain why it is a bad idea to have slices in a GC'd language?
I think most of the comments in this thread are probably about the lower support levels for GCP. I personally have never used enterprise support for GCP. For the lower support levels AWS is miles better than GCP. Not sure about the enterprise support levels. For the hobbyist/early stage, AWS support is the top pick for sure.

I read in a much older thread that GCP’s TAM and enterprise support is pretty good:

> Hey, thanks for all that you’ve done. My experience with GCP has been an incredibly positive one. GCP documentation has always seemed fantastic. Our TAMs were very responsive.

> GCP support has by far been the best support experience. I have to say that the initial days it seemed to suck. The UI was some 90s google group clone which wasn’t even accessible through the GCP console, it was its own separate site which I always found amusing. But over time, the UI and quality of support became more streamlined and predictable, and I consider it one of the best SaaS support experiences today.

> One particular incident I’ll never forget is a support person arguing with me why network tags based firewalls are better overall for security than service accounts based firewalls. I expected to have a very cut and dry exchange but the support engineer actually did convince me that tags are superior to using service accounts. I did not ever expect to have had such a discussion over enterprise support tickets.

I have a 5 TB external drive I bought many years ago, and despite its big physical footprint, the new drives still don't feel like a justifiable upgrade, given their elevated price for a small increment in storage.

Additionally, with reddit it gets a huge amount of consumer advertising, PR, marketing spend by companies but its not actually to reddit the company (paid mods, sock puppets, customer support, teams of PR "users" and fan boys all shill for their products and brand). Reddit sees other products being sold and want their cut.
>>No, I nor are any of my relatives are in a union.

That's a relief. When someone has a financial conflict of interest in how the public perceives a particular political issue, then it becomes very hard to appeal to their reason and objectivity.

>>That will not be an avenue of argument for you.

I'm not looking for an avenue of argument. I'm looking to reach a consensus based on the evidence.

>>Second, the businesses that exist today are not operating in a free market. They leverage laws that allow them to prevent employees from leveraging their ability in engage in collective action

None of that is true. There are no laws that allow them to suppress their employees' ability to engage in collective action. Employees are free to quit, boycott a company, make collective bargaining a condition for their employment, etc. There is no law that deprives them of any of their contracting rights for the benefit of the employer.

I am open to seeing arguments/evidence demonstrating otherwise.

>If there is a refusal to engage in collective bargaining then they can strike, both of which are natural consequences of free market unionization.

1. The law prohibits a company from negotiating with anyone but a union if a majority of a work unit vote to unionize. This prohibition extends to workers who did not vote to unionize, as well as applicants outside of the company's workforce who did not participate in the vote. This law, which the political left celebrates, is a blatant violation of contract liberty.

2. The law prohibits companies from requiring, as a condition of employment, to not unionize. By prohibiting these so-called Yellow Dog contracts, the law also blatantly violates contract liberty.

3. The law prohibits a company from firing workers who strike: if a company hires replacement workers and the strike ends, the company is not only required by law to employ the workers who ended the strike, but to continue employing the replacement workers.

Being restricted from engaging in hiring replacement workers without conditions restricts the company's free market rights, in order to make it as difficult as possible for companies to disassociate themselves from unions. In a free market, one would be free to disassociate themselves from a union.

>I am still not seeing where you are claiming there is 'economic rent' other than the fact that unions exist and you seem to dislike that.

Unions are able to derive above-market wages by restricting the contracting rights of the employer to negotiate with parties other than themselves. I've already explained that and you seemingly totally ignored me, which is concerning, given it make the prospects of a rational discussion quite dim.

Unions extracting economic rents is a very widely studied and well understood phenomenon:

How are you expanding capacity? With traditional software raid I'd need to fail every drive and replace them one by one with identical higher capacity drives which requires several rebuilds from parity which means a long time and massive I/O loads and high risk of unrecoverable read errors just destroying the whole array in the process.

It might. But it adds yet another channel with a shitload of information from just outside your immediate surroundings that you have to filter, process and put into relation to your situation. You need to find or create a space and time where you focus on that input while you and your team are under threat.

> why would you not allow them to specialize in that?

Because it requires pre-hashed work. It requires someone else to do the politics for them. But we may be unclear on the definition of office politics.

In this situation, the politics is simply drawing on a whiteboard an architecture with or without Kubernetes, taking note of who cringes and who is unhappy, and extracting the technical reasonings which a very real and legitimate for the future of our app. “I’ll be hella expensive”, “Will be awesome because every dev wants Kubernetes exposure” “Will be a hell because no-one know K8s”, all those concerns are not “playing office politics” but “finding and addressing the technical hurdles”.

Once we know we want K8s, sure, any remoter worker can do it, but this is not the difficult part in that process. It’s like the chain factory was already set up, and here’s your seat.

In a chain factory, the genius is not in the chain worker, but in the engineers who split the work.

Remote people can participate in office politics, but the fact that during 3-days-remote-per-week, office politics only happen on the remaining 2 days, it shows it’s much more smooth in face-to-face.

I live in Finland, which has two official languages - Finnish and Swedish.

Streetnames are usually written in both languages, as are bus-stops, tram-stops, etc.

No it is not an ad hominem attack to say that your argument is childish and stupid. You're not even having a debate. You're just spamming the forum with drivel.
It sounds like the easiest way for ideas to be killed, then, is for a few abhorrent people to champion them.
> A bit too simple

Why do you say that -- are there particular capabilities it is lacking?
It is a very common claim. So For example the wind energy "subsidy" in the UK recently went negative.

There is debate whether a 100% renewable grid will be cheaoer than a fossil fuel powered grid due to the company cost of storage, but no doubt that a grid that is 30-70% renewable powered will provide cheaper energy than one that has no renewables.
