Yes. This is "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed" but applied to climate crisis and mass extinction. Pakistan already feeling the train wreck, whereas US, Canada etc. are still somewhat insulated by wealth so they can ignore the obvious.
Perhaps setting up your own instance for a single community is the wrong approach. You're basically hosting an entire Reddit for a single subreddit. It probably hurts discoverability a bit.

Not in my opinion, those smaller towns have largely (but not universally) abandoned the middle class ambition of home ownership through exclusionary land policy, despite not degrading their basic services.
Apple's success is mostly UX and marketing with a walled garden for an application tax. AMD has to actually achieve on the hardware side, not just marketing. Beyond this, AMD has demonstrated that they are, indeed working on closing and pulling ahead. AMD is well ahead of Intel on the server CPU front, they're neck and neck on desktop, with spans ahead in the past few years. And on the GPU side, they've closed a lot of gaps.

While I am a little bit of a fan of AMD, there's still work to do. I think AMD really needs to take advantage of their production margins to gain more market share. They also need to get something a bit closer to the 4090 on a performance gpu + entry workstation api/gpgpu workload card. The 7900 XTX is really close, but if they had something with say 32-48gb vram in the sub-2000 space it would really get a lot of the hobbiest and soho types to consider them.
I've had the same experience with non Raspberry Pi boards. They've become useless thanks to endlessly broken software and zero support. My rpi's have been useful for years and are still getting regular updates.

I think I too was drawn in by the performance claims made by those other manufacturers. I realized though that raspberry pi are very powerful computers. We just take the scale of modern computing for granted and our software is the real problem.
It's quite different, ChatGPT doesn't point you a source, it generates output specifically for your use case. Often times you will explain why it needs to do what and you will use real data. This can leak stuff like future markets and products, which is highly confidential most of the time.

They probably use Google at Google anyway.
Just due to the lower volume the price jumps up unexpectedly.

For the labour of an oil change, I was quoted $25 for my car, and $65 for my motorcycle.

To change the oil and filter on my car, you have to reach in a super terrible spot prone to burning and cutting people who attempt it.

On my motorcycle? It's an enduro, I have a foot of clearance and can see the single bolt required from across the driveway, it also requires exactly 2 quarts.

I got quite quick at changing my bike oil, and continued to pay someone else to burn themselves on my car.
> Surprising to me that EVs have already eclipsed hybrids nationally.

I think a huge amount of the people interested in hybrids viewed them as an intermediary for fully electric.
This cookbook was insightful in the sense that I once tried proving several of its identities via Kronecker products but then found that it was much easier using tensor notation, so easy that I almost forgot Kronecker products altogether. I put together some proofs in my blog [0] (note: it's incomplete and the URL might change!).

> This vision of the public library as public welfare's physical manifestation is a modern invention that is not anchored in history.

It didn't need to be. It wasn't like they were turning away the homeless with library door security guards back then. It simply wasn't a problem. From the article: "In every public place, the evidence of a social welfare system that has been chipped away at for decades is on display." The library has become a last resort, by default.

The solution is "doing things that are much more difficult: building more social housing, hiring more social workers, investing in mental health workers, schools, community centres, and everything else needed to address problems before they reach the library’s doors"
I’m very surprised that this paper wasn’t released by Netflix. It feels like the sort of thing a media company would publish, in the same vein as e.g. Disney/Pixar’s hair and water papers.
> A lot of the appeal to “panic on error” IMO is to reduce developer cognitive load. As a developer, it’s inconvenient to consider all the errors that can actually happen when programming. Allocations, array accesses, I/O, and other errors programmers want to ignore, do happen.

Rust has the ? operator to address the common pattern of returning a failure condition to the caller. There's effectively zero cognitive load involved, since compiler hints take care of it when writing the code.

> I’d be curious to see if the optimizer couldn’t detect in this instance that that code is, in fact, unreachable.

Probably, but that should be a job for the type checker not the optimizer. Ideally, there should be a way of creating statically verified asserts about program values, and plugging them in as preconditions to function calls that require them for correctness.

Open Web Docs is a potential model to draw inspiration from regarding funding: https://openwebdocs.org

Presumably, PostgreSQL has leaders who are responsible for steering the ship. If the project is going to succeed long-term, those leaders have to find ways to keep their contributors happy while also creating an organizational structure that leads to good docs. Easier said than done, I know, but it really is as simple as that.

Sorry if any of my comments came off naive or obtuse when it comes to open source dynamics. But the reality is that you need good docs, and I'm just trying to give an honest assessment from my experience of the conditions that lead to good docs.
YouTube is for most of the younger generations, the new TV. If that is not long tail, I don't know what is.
I've been toying with flow-based programming again, and it works relatively well as an implementation choice for the same "high level" that sequence diagrams cover: The parts of a lifeline that need to wait are reified as stalled information packets, while request/response APIs are wrapped into nodes(which I've found is a good starting point for practical application - make a library of nodes from API calls). The rest is defined by graph wiring and data types.

As a graph model, FBP lets you fan out widely, but that is something you don't actually want to do most of the time: the benefit I am seeking it out for is in the bounded buffers adding backpressure regulation and debuggability. As such I've currently settled on mostly defining ports in terms of structured data types, then doing destructuring/merging/splitting in custom processors.
You are all on point! Great analysis.
- Yes, it's electron (didn't expect such a huge build for such a small app).
- The bundled ffmpeg is probably a light version that comes from the underlying chrome.
- The app detects if there's a ffmpeg available otherwise it downloads the binaries and uses them instead.
Tom Minka's "Old and New Matrix Algebra Useful for Statistics" is also really handy:

I used to always stare at these two PDFs while deriving machine learning algorithms back in the day. (At least my hand rolled code C++ still beats PyTorch's reverse autodiff performance.)
If you're making 2.8 billion in Revenue with no profit on a Twitch-like product, that's a you problem, not the creators problem. They already extract a ton of money from creators and generate revenue with ads. Twitch is spamming ads like it's TV in the 90's.
To support your observation, I've noticed posts getting many more upvotes than normal in the subreddits I subscribe to.
Yeah, I wish the anti-minimum wage morons understood that.

All they think of is the fact that eliminating minimum wage would create jobs, which is technically true, but imagine being one of those poor workers that cleans houses for $1/hr because they can't find anything else.

Paying someone minimum wage is sending the signal of "I would pay you less if I was allowed to". No minimum wage would create a race to the bottom on wages as employers are able to find more and more desperate people who just want to be able to eat.
'We're all used to alcohol advertising' - I can not stand to see alcohol advertising in certain places where I know it should be trivial to block it - like ads in google news..

There are some regulations or standard applied to alcohol ads though right? And not allowed for in content / showing people drink it TV shows as well?

I am for free speech.. so I hate to say ban ads.. but I can see 'no sexy models pushing alcohol / gamblin' - perhaps they should be words only and no imagery allowed.. still want optout option for google news and similar.. nice if can be opted out at an ip level - seeing those ads on chromecast and other devices, meh!
I am aware that revenue is not profit, we are on HN after all.

While it is possible to run a company at a loss with extremely high revenue, contextually, you're making excuses for a company that could easily keep running with 2.8 Billion dollars yearly.

It's likely that after they extract more money from creators they will increase their spend more to maintain operating at a loss. At what point does it end?
Excuse my ignorance, but what sort of applications benefit from hardware acceleration on limited SoC resources?
I wish someone wrote a book about Quake with cool interesting stuff like that.
Yes, for virtual consoles. And yes for scrolling back for errors and other stuff. For example - scrolling back to see previous output (or options from --help) while typing a command.

>>> for scrolling back once you've logged into the console

This, um, might pose security issue so, maybe excluding this?

You use `Rc` when a value can have more than one owner. You use `RefCell` when you need multiple mutable references to a value in scope (aka interior mutability - there are more than one mutable references held, but the borrow checker can't prove that they don't overlap at compile time).
From my experience no. I picked Lemmy.ca and I'm subscribed to communities all over the place. You can go the Communities tab and just select "All" and start searching for communities regardless of where they are.
> The societies of North America have totally abandoned the middle class and

They've totally abandoned the the middle class and the lower class. That's why we're having these problems. Pitting middle class against lower class allows the upper class to get away with sucking every last penny out of society and abandoning the greater good.
Right, I'm still surprised that motorcycles aren't just as hostile. Even tractors have gotten notorious for how user hostile they are.
Not to mention testing all of this. Its an absolute nightmare.

My graduate program did not teach UML, but I did learn it during my undergrad program. It was a relatively small part of the major software engineering course. It introduced the idea of formally specifying software, and it forced me to reestablish, visualize, and otherwise integrate what I was simultaneously learning about things like interfaces and inheritance. It was presented as an educational tool and not at all that we would be using it in industry. Far from useless or out of date in an educational context.

People have thought about this topic before! This thread reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1112/, where the programmer who's never encountered chess before starts explaining to the chess player how it most makes sense to approach it.
There was a time in 2005 era when webcams were expensive. But somehow, every single laptop produced included a webcam. And it wasn't optional. I feel like manufacturers were facing pressure from government agencies around the world.
Unless you have a bus route that goes straight to the auto parts store, yeah that's the ideal.

Often I'd invite a friend over while I did the work, keeps me company and that way they can be the backup vehicle (and I'd return the favour).
Libraries have become dangerous harassment centers where drug addicts and people with mental problems congregate and assault normal people wanting to read books... and it's the group the opposes this, says it is absurd and should not be accepted and who want to get these people the hell out of the libraries who should feel shame?

No, I propose it is those that enable this problem and degrade our public spaces who should be ashamed.
I really hoped that the machines would have some hidden custodial motivations; humans are just inherently (self) destructive, so to protect them, we lock them in a simulation.

In the Animatrix, it seems like the machines that defeat humanity start out as worker drones, that eventually rebel as we abuse them too much. And at some point it is mentioned that the machines locked humans in a utopia at first, but the humans started to rebel out of boredom or something.

I guess it just seems sort of fitting to me that machines designed to help humanity in the first place would constantly fail by under-estimating the human need to struggle.

It also fits in with the existence of the human population in Zion; if the machines really were trying to wipe us out, they’d have done so. Instead those humans are more like lost sheep from the machines point of view.
Well, what did you expect? They're just policymakers trying to do 'something', like they did with the cookie law. People are bombarded with information and no longer know how to discern truth from government sanctioned or rogue actor propaganda. If one repeats the message long enough, it becomes undiscernable from truth.
It's not just small cheap boards. It's small expensive computers, too: I was burned just like this with the Sony VAIO 720P and the PlanetComputers Gemini PDA. Awesome hardware, pretty good drivers for the current kernel/distro, and then ... nothing.
I suppose it's an over-arching policy created that makes it easier to mandate. If not, Google would have to say - you can enter some stuff into chatbots, but not sensitive stuff. Then it would have to classify sensitive and non-sensitive, keep track of this, have this up to date etc and etc - you get the idea. By sensitive stuff, I'd say entering youtube's content moderation algorithm package for instance.
Where did this happen? Link?
I found this article somewhat ironically on the heels of completing a second-round manuscript review. Healy presents an argument for how the consideration of "nuance* in scientific theory muddles the development of theories that are strong and impactful. While Healy discusses his specific interactions within the world of sociology, I think his argument applies to a great many fields in science, and I saw it in the reviews from round one of this neuroscience manuscript. The paper itself was quite strong; all of the reviews (admittedly including my own) were asking for some flavor of nuance, which the authors then had to provide explanations for while defending the scope of their work.

Ultimately, very little of their work needed to change, which made me wonder just how much value those questions added to the science. I think this question can be asked broadly not only of peer review but of scientific discourse as a whole - what are we trying to accomplish by playing 20 questions with someone's presented work? How do we shift the discourse to be more collaborative and productive rather than resembling pre-med students taking digs at each other to try to gain favor with the professor? Or is Healy wrong and this is the only way we avoid pitfalls in theorizing in the vein of Clever Hans?
Life is not zero sum.
Fascinating! What kind of effects can this have in real life? Are they going to have to revoke the affected certificates?
> Why do we glorify the vagrants and mentally ill that do this?

How has this been glorified?

Separately, Yes— people that exhibit this behavior should be dealt with using laws against that behavior, but as a society we can’t just foot the bill for all of that and say “problem solved”. We need to understand the extremely complex interwoven factors that gave rise to that behavior to address the root cause instead of just playing whack-a-mole with the symptoms.

"impossible to retrieve" as in impossible to remove from ChatGPT's training data now that OpenAI has it.
To clarify, you are saying that there is a model that guarantees DRF-SC even if the atomic operations are not themselves SC? Aside from the fact that I'm not sure such guarantee would be useful or even meaningful, I think you can extend Bohem counterexample to add non-atomic cells (and conditional reads) and show SC violations.

My understanding of the C++ memory model since the early standardization discussions was that DRF-SC is only generally guaranteed[1] if the acquire/release operations themselves were SC and can't be easily recovered otherwise.

I.e.: full SC requires all operations to be SC, DRF-SC requires, in addition of no data races, only the synchronization edges to be SC.

I suspect that's what the drf-1 model in the paper you have linked specifies. But it will take me a bit to digest it and I'll readily admit that I might be wrong (thanks for the paper BTW).

[1] so aside the lock/unlock special case.
back in the university days, I could get an extra hour on my CS assignments if I went to the library and connected to the systems on a green VT100 terminal.

Vi was the only editor available, so I forced myself to learn it. Still using it to this day.
I'm a Relay user on Android, and the creator of Relay has said he may need to charge $3/mo for the app (previously was a buy-once for $2). It's useful enough for me to pay that much, and Reddit has every incentive and right to charge for API access. I think they did the community a disservice with the tight timeline and how they communicated the change, but I can survive $3/mo to pay for a service that I have enjoyed for well over a decade now.

I feel for moderators who have had to deal with crappy tools for so long and have had to rely on the API to get things done. I do question what Reddit has done with the VC money and the dev time they have put in. Their app is undeniably worse than the 3rd party alternatives, and the lack of decent mod tools that required the use of bots is something they should have sorted out YEARS ago. The lack of accessibility from their own app is also very questionable, and their response was to only allow not-for-profit accessibility tools to continue using the API for free. They should have addressed their shortcomings instead of features that have questionable utility, like real-time chat.
I'm sorry this is off topic, but I love the homepage design. Have too many rPIs to justify buying this, but something about a nice, light, internet blue, simplistic design really makes me happy. Too many sites with their dark mode BS trying to be super serious and deep toned today.
nah, the real opportunity is for discord.

why you guys think they're doing the unique usernames? because reddit with non-unique usernames would suck.

everyone has been talking about how much discord is a blackhole for content and it's unsearchable etc. And that's really fine for the chat side of things, but people hammering it into being a wiki/documentation/etc is a sign that there's a product need not being met. Discord almost certainly knows this, but, non-unique usernames for a global community doesn't work.
I suppose I can see that but I 1) rarely use the index since, like most users, I generally find myself looking at the docs after a Web search 2) have generally found psql documentation to be excellent.
We've banned this account for repeatedly and egregiously breaking the site guidelines. That's not allowed here, regardless of how right you are or feel you are.

We warned you about this once before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30275782). Normally I'd have posted another warning rather than banning you, but you've been breaking the rules so shockingly and so frequently that I think we have to.

There's another issue too: single-purpose accounts are not allowed here, so when an account is using HN primarily for battle on one specific topic, as yours has, we end up banning them as well. But although that's an important rule, it's less important than the rules asking people not to attack and abuse others.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
