I haven’t read the article, but one multi-billion-dollar company “refusing to pay its bill” to another multi-billion-dollar company is simply part of the contract re-negotiation process, no? (In the case where one company refuses to re-negotiate - either directly by saying so, or indirectly by tying it up in endless customer support redirects - it is arguably a necessary step, even.)

I get the sense that this reporting is trying to lean heavily on the usual implications of “refusing to pay the bill”, which is that one can’t pay the bill. But that implication obviously isn’t at play here; Google Cloud isn’t worried that Twitter is broke.

In all likelihood what’s actually happening is that Google Cloud strongly expects the new contract to be less profitable for them, and thus they wish to delay and drag out re-negotiations so they can have the more profitable contract for longer. Refusal to pay invites a lawsuit; if the cost of the lawsuit exceeds the profit that would be gained by holding onto the old contract for longer, it makes more sense to re-negotiate now. I predict Google Cloud will launch a token lawsuit for non-payment and come to the negotiation table at the same time, and when new terms are agreed on Twitter will settle the lawsuit by paying the old contract rates up to the date of the new contract.
I don't think Elixir/Nx needs to check boxes in an exhaustive point by point comparison with Python to emerge as a viable platform for ML work. It's a solid option, and that's enough for me to invest some time exploring.
Sadly no, and nowhere. And with my primary focus being gamedev for the foreseeable future, the only way I see it being resurrected is if I need some generated music. That’s fairly low on the priority list for now, but it might preempt other things. https://github.com/shawwn/noh

To be immodest for a moment, my work serves as an example that it’s possible to do it, and better than anyone else, long before they figure out how. Many examples of this pop up throughout history, and I am gratified to be a small but real one.
It's rare to see Google continuing service for a non-paying customer. Usually, we see stories of them randomly banning people along with their digital livelihoods with no meaningful appeal process.
But I want a faster horse.
If you want to experiment and tune ML, I think Python is great. Once you actually want other people to use it, C++ is the best.

The user experience of trying to set up one of the Python libraries for LLama vs llama.cpp is night and day.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean as p2p transport. What makes HTTP or IMAP not p2p in this description? (You find the peer out of band (DNS) and connect directly to the peer with the data.)
UI latency, the entire point of a device, is a single threaded use case.

Multithreaded performance is only good when you don't care about power use, but that's never true on a battery powered phone. It's actually more often the case that you optimize software by removing accidental excess concurrency than by adding it. Junior engineers love them some unstructured concurrency.
This post lacks an explanation of context.

Can someone give a TLDR of this “network wide dispute” and how MO has role in it that differs from others?
The 2 are not redundant. One just does the extremely difficult job of closing the doors which can in no way be done by the driver due to the immense mental burden it would require.

>- Downsize your screen to 720p when you record so it is large enough for the average laptop screen to read. It is absolutely ridiculous when someone is recording a tutorial on a 4k monitor and the text is microscopic.

This echoes to basically anything creative in nature. Always consider the average situation of your customers when making your product.

As a programmer, consider whether your program runs properly on a $300 dollar potato from Walmart rather than your $8000 dollar development workstation. As a videographer (aka Youtuber), consider whether your video looks nice on a $300 dollar potato from Walmart rather than your $8000 dollar 8K 60" monitor.
>I don't expect law enforcement to be experts, but can you at least ask your local IT guy to sanity check your work first?

The HN crowd probably wildly overestimates the knowledge of the "average" IT guy, especially the kind working for local government.
I wrote simulation software at a research department previously. 99.8% of the problems were perfect for numpy/pandas and learning a compiled language wasn’t worth it for the 0.2%. If I was to work the same problems again I’d do it in two years when polars has all the good stuff from pandas and I’d learn enough rust to drop down to it for the custom stuff.
Literal spaghetti code?

How do you deal with references? Like defining a variable and using it later in multiple places?
This is me 100%. I open every Elm post on HN hoping against hope to find a reason to return.
Asking the real question. I guess you might want to do it on somebody else's server (GitHub pages, etc).

The heating is done by a solid state laser diode. It should be very reliable other than adding one more thing to an already complex drive head. (Which undoubtedly means the first generation or two will have some kinks to work out, but that's not a fundamental decrease, just engineering).

And there shouldn't be much of an impact on durability. The heating is very brief - a nanosecond or so. The idea is not to expand the material physically, it's to increase its magnetic permeability temporarily so that you can write the bit to it and then it becomes stable again.

Seems relatively simpler to use checkbox input and associated Turing completeness (https://accodeing.com/blog/2015/css3-proven-to-be-turing-com...) to input a pass pattern, which could be derived from (ASCII) encoded pass text.

Well, a more fundamental issue is that the colors of an object in a scene aren't "real" if the lighting in the scene is not daylight white. And most of the time you're not there to appreciate the low-CRI yellow indoor lights.
After a recent 3 week driving trip through Europe, I can anecdotally back this up. It’s not even the manual transmission, but also the much smaller roads with no shoulder where at times you meet a car, have to slam on the brakes, and decide in the moment whether you or the other car will back up to a turn out. You have to pay constant attention and there’s little room for looking at phones, eating, etc. In the US we have such large roads and shoulders that you can zone out and are more easily tempted to take your eyes off the road.
The vqsort README says it is a non-issue on that generation CPU (Skylake-X) based on their benchmarks: https://github.com/google/highway/tree/master/hwy/contrib/so...
At least on their low clock speed server CPU (<=3GHz), downclocking was hard to measure compared to clock speed variability they got with std::sort.

The 10980xe used for windows benchmarks here normally boosts much higher, so bigger differences could be expected. The author of OP mentioned measuring clock speeds with perf and seeing some difference.

No, it isn't normal to not pay the bills for services already rendered in order to try to get a better deal in future contract renegotiations. I don't know why you would think it is the expected behavior.

The Debian project has been historically a vocal proponent for open hardware/firmware/drivers etc. and here we are in 2023 having Debian somewhat controversially acknowledging that proprietary firmware may be required at least by some users, to some degree. So I am suggesting that if they really want to get there that they might need to help facilitate the change they would like to see.

Is RISC-V the be-all, end-all? No, but it could help them get a lot closer than they're likely to get with any of the proprietary ISAs.

I’m extraordinarily noise sensitive and I find this appealing for emotional reasons. But I don’t think it’s good policy nonetheless. IME motorcycle drivers are generally among the most respectful about the noise they make, relative to all drivers of all vehicle types. They scoot through and move on.

I’d definitely like to charge drivers for their relative noise impact, but I’d start with the recreational sports car drivers and work my way up to industrial vehicle operators who don’t seem to give any fucks, before I even bat an eye at anyone on two wheels.
> > If driving wasn’t so heavily subsidized

> BY WHOM?

You’ve had multiple people tell you so at this point I would highly suggest doing some homework before getting angry. Here’s a summary:

* Roads are paid for around 50% by general tax revenue. Thar keeps the upfront price of driving low compared to alternatives and decades of studies have found this creates a massive number of extra car trips. If we used more efficient transportation modes we would also not need the massive highway projects sold to taxpayers as rush hour alleviation but delivering only more traffic thanks to the principle of induced demand.
* Most cities subsidize street parking below the cost of providing it, much less market rates. This encourages driving but takes a significant amount of public space and generates a huge amount of congestion and pollution (emissions and noise) as people circle looking for subsidized spots rather than paying for garage parking.
* Most cities require minimum amounts of parking to be provided for solo drivers even if the owner of a property doesn’t want it (we require bars to encourage drunk driving!). Everyone pays more for that even if they don’t drive because they’re paying for more construction and maintenance and many businesses have less revenue generating space because, for example, instead of a restaurant having tables for 40 more patrons they have parking for 8 vehicles. Since housing is required to have at least 1-2 spaces per home, a given piece of land will house fewer people and many large projects require expensive garages, which you’re paying for whether or not you want it and traffic is also a common argument against the density which would lower costs. Making housing more expensive causes more people to need longer commutes and the consequent lower quality of life.
* Car owners are not charged for the negative health impacts of driving - a leading cause of asthma and all kinds of cardiovascular conditions – or to compensate city residents for the quality of life reductions their commuting causes.
* Drivers are not charged for the expensive city infrastructure created to protect pedestrians and bicyclists from unsafe driving. All of that concrete, flexposts and barriers, various pedestrian light systems, etc. are car infrastructure.
* Drivers are not required to have sufficient insurance to cover the full cost to anyone they hit. This intersects really badly with our horrific healthcare system and is a common cause of people falling out of the workforce or into substance abuse over chronic pain following collisions.
* Last but not least, driving is the most expensive way to commute in common use when it comes to greenhouse gases. EVs promise a 50% reduction but that’s still far higher than any mainstream alternative. There are many other factors in climate change but driving is something like 30% so it’s going to have to go down a lot to reduce the trillions in economic damage we’re facing.
A) Liquid hydrogen is stored at 20K, 20 degrees above absolute zero. Compressing and cooling hydrogen gas to 20K consumes ~30% of the energy content of the hydrogen.

That tanker has a boil off rate of 0.3-0.6%. The thing you're storing it in is going to have a similar boil off range.

B) "No hydrogen option will fully displace BEVs, noted Roeth"

The train is not moving or being driven when the doors need to open and close. Why can't one person do it? I am sure there is an interlock, but this makes the tasks sequential, so the doors must be closed before taking off.
You'd need Rust's type system to truly express the way that ElasticSearch uses JSON. I don't think it would be worth the effort. I'd probably use the json macro with serde.
I use a similar system for my personal and work Trello. Only ever one thing in the "Doing" column. And completed things go into the "Done" column. It's the only way I've been able to manage what is likely undiagnosed ADHD and also avoid total burnout.

I think BEAM languages are kind of one of the few exceptions to this argument. Its tradeoffs and runtime semantics really are just very different from other mainstream languages. Other languages & communities are adapting to modern trends towards high concurrency, distributed systems, horizontal scaling, tight fault detection & recovery with varying degrees of struggle and success. Meanwhile in erlang these have been priority concerns for decades and they have highly sophisticated refined solutions to them built directly into the system.

Not that this article makes a good argument for the benefit of any of those things for ML. But at least generally while I am a pretty strong believer of "eh language doesn't really matter" erlang-based languages I do entertain a possible exception for.
Big part of me building a decent gaming PC will be buying a house and installing solar panels (and maybe a battery considering market conditions and government incentives).

I don’t think this is normal. If it was normal this would be happening a lot more. Obviously it’s being discussed because it’s Twitter but it would be helpful to provide some examples if you pieces so much together with no info.

I have not tried it yet, and don't feel much interest. Typing in code is not much of a bottleneck for me; I spend far more time reading, thinking, and discussing than I do writing.
It hardly matters if millions of people have equally profound ideas if there's no way to reasonably seek those ideas out. I'm quite certain a lot of knowledge is lost to the ether as very few people have the ability to think about things very deeply, and of those that can, even fewer are able to articulate them, and from that small group, an even smaller group of people are able to actually turn those articulations into something accessible to everyone else. Then it's a matter of how anyone else can find those things. A lot of the times it can't be found.

Frankly, I don't see any reason to gate keep my own curiosity. Moral filtering just breeds ignorance.
It was mostly because they thought vastly more NPPs would be built than ended up being built.
I actually took a University course in M by one of its maintainers, the late Dick Walters. While I never found any personal utility in the language, it was a curious 3 months of experimentation, and Walters was a great professor and fairly kind and helpful, probably because he realized how eccentric and borderline archaic M was.
The VA is replacing CPRS (built on Mumps) with an Oracle Cerner commercial EHR. This transition is very complex and is scheduled to continue through 2028.

I doubt it. There are so many vehicles, especially historically, from Toyota Tacomas, Jeep Wranglers, Honda Civics, to yes, Porsche 911s that are available with both AT and MT. Considering the number of vehicles insured in the US, and the fact that you can do paired comparisons like this, if there is a meaningful difference, insurers would see it.

edit: link from State Farm, a large US insurer. https://www.statefarm.com/simple-insights/auto-and-vehicles/....

Studies haven't really shown which transmission type is safer. Automatic and CVT transmissions do allow you to keep both hands on the wheel at all times, while manual transmissions may require more attentive driving. Your driving habits will play a large role in your safety. Safety features available for both automatic and manual vehicles can make a difference, too.

You could, but it wouldn’t be agnostic. That requires Apache or a server that’s compatible with .htaccess (eg LiteSpeed).
Dense cities create a self-reinforcing vicious cycle. It's more efficient for employers to create office-style jobs in the Downtown, because they can more easily attract talent.

In turn, people want to live close enough to their jobs. So this drives up the price of housing in and around the Downtown. In turn, this incentivizes developers to build new buildings as high as economical, and to make units as small as feasible.

Thus the new construction in Downtowns tends to be smaller than the existing one ( https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-sma... ). This drives up the price of existing larger apartments even more, making them unavailable for younger people. So if you don't work in tech, you'll have to make do with a small apartment.

But no worries, by the next generation your small apartment will look positively spacious!
> And especially to judge them based on the values of our time rather than theirs.

More than a few of Moses' projects were egregious, even for his time. What made Moses a great (as in powerful) urban planner was his ability to mold policy decisions to his values, not the values of the neighborhoods that he bulldozed, much less the values of the elected officials who represented those neighborhoods.

> how many people are as bad or worse to not have built them?

This requires us to think counterfactually: we just don't know how the city could have turned out, because the political energy, financial capital, and plain old physical space that could have gone into mass transit systems went into highways instead.
Genius except that if China lands in the US then nukes fly. No winners there.
Developing a new EHR from scratch that could be used in a modern healthcare system is a huge undertaking. Even a large team of great programmers would need at least several years to build something minimally acceptable.
He thought he was.

I don't think Mao was a crook in the sense of "stealing money and the country be damned". I think he was motivated by a vision for his country, why else fight so fiercely against the nationalists and the Japanese? He believed in something.

Whether the Great Leap Forward or any one of his policies was a disaster is orthogonal to whether he believed in doing a great good for China.

According to labor union association AFL-CIO, the highest CEO compensation in 2021 was $835 million[1], less than a tenth the cost of the $10 billion estimate for the North-South connector.

By definition of having an AI generate something for you instead of making it yourself, you can’t create exactly what you want. You can probably get it in the ballpark, though. But that’s exactly the same scenario we have today with musicians.

The same way we traded away the profession of painters for photography, it seems like we might be trading away muscicians for generative music AI. Except photography is super useful for lots of things and truly benefitted humankind, and generative music AI… only replaces musicians? I have no idea why we would make this trade, as a society.

Irrigation for hay even in Colorado is something that shocked me the first time I visited the state. Where I live in eastern Ontario in Canada, hay is just something that grows in fields unattended, no special work required. Driving around Glenwood Springs seeing these giant metal structures in fields to irrigate the hay was an eye opener as to just how little moisture there is in that part of the United States. Within 15 kilometers of home we have on the order of about 10 different lakes of varying sizes -- a completely different experience.
Sigh.

That is a modal interface and the system may also decides to switch modes at will. Anytime a human is expected to wakeup from a mode and takeover from an automated system on short notice, we have failure modes that are unique compared to a modeless system (including Full Human Drive )
