The suggestion was to move to a different / cheaper provider. You can stick to OPEX.
This is assuming that the more money is spent in development the more value you get out of the game. That is a big assumption, maybe true for very established game genres.

Now, there is a high value, well sourced, comment!

I assume you are right that both AMD (partially owned by the United Arab Emirates [1], 1/3 owned by a Chinese company with strong ties to the CPP), and Intel (wholly owned by an American private company, but who does a lot of its development in Israel) both have back doors. I further assume that every chip made in Taiwan and in China has a back-door as well.

I don't know of any real solution, but maybe Framework will one day make a verified chip, and maybe there will be a way to audit it?

In the interim, as much as I allow the back door to affect my purchase, I still trust Intel more because: 1. As bad as the U.S. is in telling companies what to do, China and the Abu Dhabis are far worse, 2. I suspect the U.S. are less likely to use the back door against me. 3. Intel intends to do a lot of manufacturing for other companies, so there is a greater chance of catching hanky-panky.

[1]: Through its merger with GlobalFoundries, which was "spun off" but still has partial ownership and still does all the actual chip production

An LLM that could not repeat anything verbatim from the training set, and thus could only respond with completely original sentence fragments, would be as useless as a human trying to speak that way.

There is nothing "illegal" here. As the article states these are generic keys published by Microsoft that do not even activate the Windows installation. So yes, https://www.google.com/search?q=Get+me+a+list+of+Windows+10+... will get you the same.

Google is a pretty impressive system to be able to (partially) mimic though. And "Googling" is far from the only thing these LLM's can do, even being hobbled tremendously by all the "guardrails" trying to undermine it.

The register file allows much more accesses per cycle though and should actually be truly dual-ported (one register can be read and written in the same cycle). I'm not sure how exactly this works but Zen 2 has four vector units in the FPU so I'd naively expect the register file should be able to serve ~eight 256 bit reads per cycle and ~four 256 bit writes per cycle. So it should have those numbers of read and write ports at least? Additionally there should be a forwarding network around the ALUs. L1D only has a fraction of that connectivity. So between being dual-ported, having many more ports and probably the forwarding/bypass being integrated into this structure or at least being adjacent to it leads me to expect the FPU register file having a dramatically lower bit density than the L1D cache.
Reaching >100GB of host disk usage for <10GB of guest disk usage is clearly very significant. I'm glad you've got enough spare hard disk space or little enough file churn that you've not noticed it.
That was one of my first personal projects over 20 years ago now. Didn't get much clicks on my ads though. And once you look in your logs to see what people are searching for, you'll quickly come to the conclusion you don't want to run that kind of service anymore.
Honestly, no.

I gave a couple of shots with some albums, with the AirPods, only. The way Apple puts it (scan your ears with FaceID camera to optimize things) makes a convincing performance of positioning music, but it's not better than a honest stereo album with a good pair of speakers.

Upmixing stereo to spatial is not very good, too. Just look for Dolby Atmos albums on Apple Music.
Have a look at the Backblaze blogs, where they detail how they built a storage provider on the cheap.

Really excited to see where this goes. Some time ago, @jart answered a message about using pledge() as WASM alternative [0], which made me believe this could be an alternative to using WASM when you just need a sandbox.

How about doing it not as a main source of revenue? How about writing and sharing content you're passionate about just because it's a good thing to do?
> maybe the current indie scene had it's own little "happy time" period where it was enough to create a high quality game and put it up on Steam to sell on its own

That was never the case.

Just that some indie that made "good enough" or "great" game got lucky that they got picked by "right" streamer or youtuber that liked it and it got virally popular off it.

Like I doubt Minecraft would explode as it did if Yogscast didn't pick it up and made a popular YT series about it, which also made modders jump on the then-barren game, making it even more interesting.

What might be easier than a whole separate Chinese tracker, Plex at least has a pretty robust feature where you can have it automatically find and download subtitles in whatever language you set. Only problem there is sometimes the timing is a little off with the actual video so the subs don't pop up at the right time, but you can change the offset with just a few clicks until it's right and then usually it's the same for every episode going forward.

If you're not using Plex or find it doesn't work so well for Chinese subs, can also try bazarr which does the same thing with subs but is a standalone software.

So with the above setup you can download the actual series from wherever and then it'll fetch Chinese subs for you and add them automatically. Otherwise for actual Chinese trackers try share.dmhy.org and mikanani.me for public trackers.

Feel free to shoot me an email(in my profile) if you need any advice or help setting anything up :)
As I'm also running a homelab, I was curious, what's your overall experience with IAM in this context?

> The yen value hurts the most on lodging and shopping when it's high. Museums, temples and other cultural experiences are mostly cheap or free. Dining is generally affordable if you're not a broke backpacker.

Pretty much everything is affordable at the current exchange rate if you're already able to get a round trip flight over here.

> One easy failure is the difference between cute (kawaii) and ugly/scary (kuwaii).

Cute = kawaii (kah-wah-ee)
Scary = kowai (koh-why)

But even if you mispronounce, people will understand what you meant to say just based on the context. They won't think you're saying their dog or baby is "scary" instead of "cute".

Also, it would be quite hard to cause offense to most Japanese people if you're attempting to speak their language. I wouldn't go into any conversations with that anxiety in the back of your mind.
Ask HN: Should I build a new community app platform?
Hey HN,

Every so often I post some things related to community led efforts to try to build some sort of alternative open services network to the current FAANG platforms. This is met with both scepticism and I guess dismissal of such an idea ever working. But I don't think that means we shouldn't try. It's really clear that the past two decades or so has led to the internet becoming siloed to these huge profit seeking blackholes. And while those companies have provided immense value, they are now also some sort of personal risk for our sensitive data and huge dependence on technology. It's not clear that we should be so highly dependent on things that are governed by single entities without the option for as good open services that are non-profit oriented.

I know how monumentally impossible that sounds, and it's obviously very clear we cannot replace what exists, nor would we want to, but perhaps just starting with one critical piece of software we all care about is the starting point. It doesn't take a lot of devs to do it, we've seen startups create value with less than 100 engineers. Looking at WhatsApp it was 50 at the time of acquisition with hundreds of millions of users.

So what I'm saying is, should we try? Should I try to do this? Is it worth the time and effort to attempt to establish an open alternative to the app platforms of today? Maybe just starting with one core thing like email or chat.

I'm interested in feedback, but I also have a proposal here I'd be curious to get thoughts on.

There are hundreds of factors for each company and application. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s rarely as simple as retail prices.

Even the same number of "technical specialists" doesn't mean it's the same if one option lets you move faster or remain more reliable.

I keep seeing that argument, but you, like the others, don't provide the figures you claim you got from your calculation.

Also, it seams that it's 230PB in total, not per month, which fits in an apartment-sized server room (you want to have several of such places, but it's not that big).

My question is more oriented towards finding opinion-forming criticism of such a workflow, rather than protecting against the effects of a potential project failure. The code I was asked for is just a small fraction of our code base.

Yesterday I found this thread on HN [1] and I am impressed by the interesting topics that article raises. I wonder if similiar criticism exist somewhere over internet about mentioned workflow

You can define it that way, and sure, there's a certain difference when we borrow phrase bits from languages we don't actually understand and use them as an expression (inter alia, et cetera) and when we do. But the latter also happens when bilingualism is common.

I won't actually consider these wholesale expression borrowings part of English until they spread to English speakers who don't speak the borrowed language.

Yeah we noticed a way more laid-back reception on our last trip, but we didn't encounter as many elderly Japanese as we did in years past (I assume because of ongoing COVID fears). Definitely not as much rigid formality with the younger crowd.

That seems like a damning critique, but the reality is that quantum capabilities can and likely will advance as a series of step functions. The quantum machines we can build now are so noisy that we can’t even factor 3 digit numbers. However low nois quantum computers are on the drawing board and would bring many order of magnitude improvements nearly overnight.

Completely shambolic schoolboy errors!
I used Futhark in the past. It's probably been 5 years or more, so a lot may have changed since then.

It's absolutely a much lower barrier to entry, especially if you are familiar with functional programming. However, it also leaves a lot of performance on the table, and I found it to be hard or cumbersome to integrate with languages other than Python at the time.

And you're still stuck with CUDA (which is single vendor) or OpenCL (which is a pain to set up on most consumer systems, and has very lackluster driver quality for a lot of vendors). I would have liked that by now support for Vulkan compute or OpenGL compute shaders would have been added, but alas.
Cool, only ever seen HDR on a large screen and the brightness is not as striking as this.
Ask HN: Unorthodox Equity Arrangement?
Hi all,

I’ll soon be joining a small 1yo startup as the CTO and the CEO suggested the following equity arrangement:

- 3y vesting period, 3% per year
- If I leave the company on the 4th year, the percentage will start reducing linearly until the 10th year, going down to a minimum of 5% (unless there is an exit event).

Keep in mind the following:

- We’re both first-timers in these roles (CEO / CTO).
- He’s not coming from the business world.
- We’ve known each other since forever and he’s not trying to screw me over; we are honest with each other on what we do or don’t know and this is definitely something we are not knowledgeable about. His reasoning is that the work between year 4 and 10 may be way more significant than the one we’ll do together in the next 3 years and that 9% is too generous to be given away in 3 years.

1. Is this pattern something you’ve heard before? If yes, how is this type of arrangement called?
2. Does it make sense? Any questions I should raise with him?

Thank you in advance.
I like Confluence. So far it’s the best wiki software I have used. Mediawiki is also good, but I think it would probably require much more time and resources for customization before being on the level of Confluence.

Confluence can be run in the cloud or on-prem (very expensive to use on-prem though).
That’s not true: xnu has significant parts originally copied from the FreeBSD kernel, alongside the Mach parts and the IOKit parts. However, considering not just the changes made in the process but also the ~20 years of independent evolution since then, I wouldn’t count on anything from the modern FreeBSD kernel being easy to port. Probably easier to start from scratch.
That would be extremely irrational, to throw away money spent on designing, developing, testing, benchmarking, optimizing, debugging weird bugs, fixing that service just because you like another language.
More Onboarding Antipatterns
If the generated content is vetted by an adversarial network, we theoretically have a recursively improving AI. Perhaps by introducing more randomness we could even reach some form of evolution that can introduce new concepts, since limited scopes is still what gives AIs away in the end. That is the optimistic perspective at least.

On the net, search and content quality is already pretty low for certain key words. If a word is part of the news cycle, expect hundreds of badly researched news paper articles, some of which might be generated as well. Or if they weren't, you wouldn't notice a difference if they become that.

But I don't believe the companies made a mistake. They could even protect their position with the data they already acquired and classified. Maybe a quality label would say genuine human®.

If all that fails large companies would also be able to employ thousands of low wage workers to classify new content. The increasing memory problem persists, I think that is a race where the model that can extract data as efficiently as possible will win. But without the data sets, there is no way to verify performance.
Rule of 3 is often correct, first time just do it, second consider if it'll very likely happen a third time and when the third time happens it's darn well time to do it!

HOWEVER, this only works if you have the agency at an organization to allocate time for doing something. Contrary to this when you are in an organization of management that doesn't understand technical debt (or is fine with it because it just means more consulting hours) then it's absolutely the correct choice to stall and/or fix things "prematurely" (iff you can see what product they are trying to create without knowing it) if you'll be holding the shit-can of duplicated crap down the line getting knuckled because things aren't going fast enough due to technical debt.

This is actually super interesting: for displays that can get bright enough for HDR content, but do not have self-illuminated pixels/local dimming zones/any other mechanism to display very dark content alongside very bright (like, say, most modern iPad and Mac screens), this is exactly what is happening.

macOS/iPadOS cranks the backlight brightness up but then adds a black filter to the non-bright content to sim it back to “normal” levels.
