Maybe the article just excluded this detail, but is there any reason for a submersible to not have a black box and transponder similar to an aircraft? Do they not work under water after a certain depth?

I feel like the company in charge of all this should at least know where the submersible is, if not what happened to it.
I think English has a farther reach than Latin, but I guess yeah, at least for Europe.
I'd say the opposite. There has been a massive, concerted, sustained effort to make us think we want more things that we actually want.

A description I stole (I'd give credit where due, but I don't remember the source): Advertising is designed to make the person you are envy the person you could be with their product. That is, advertising attempts to steal your satisfaction and then offers to sell it back to you.

Take cars, for instance. I have a car that drives just fine. Ah, but with the car in the advertisement, the girls look at me with interest. If I want that, I need to go buy that car. (Maybe those ads are the reason that the first sign of a midlife crisis is going out and buying a fancy new car.) The point of the ads is to make me want to buy a car when I don't actually want a car. Same, and equally obvious, with beer, soft drink, and potato chip commercials. It's more subtle with some other kinds of ads, but it's still there.

This has been going on for decades - for all of our lives, in fact. (The difference now compared to the 1960s is that we don't have the same thing going on in cigarette ads.)

What's happening now is that more and more people have maxed out, either financially or emotionally. Financially is "I can't make enough money or borrow enough money to continue to play this game." (The decline of the middle class may drive this, at least in part.)

The emotional part of maxing out is when you realize: "I've tried that kind of thing a bunch of times. Buying this one isn't going to satisfy me. I don't actually have to buy it to find that out; I already know."

A related phenomena is the realization that you can't actually have it all. You can't have the fulfilling job and the high pay and lots of vacation time and the nice car and the nice house and the boat and lots of money in the bank. Women can't have the nice career and be there with their kids (neither can men, but for most families, the women are the ones getting pinched on that particular front.) You have to choose what is more important, and try to get that, even if it costs you other things that you also want. "You can have it all" is a lie, and people are starting to see that.
Submersible Disappears in Area of Titanic Wreck
Collective human knowledge just blows my mind sometimes.

Consider how many obscure but useful, necessary even, things we've learned over the past thousand years.

Before the internet it would all be hidden away, only quickly available to specific experts in their fields.

You'd have to go to a university library and dig for hours.
A world without patents isn't necessarily one where corporations are any less of moats. Instead I'd expect a lot more secrecy and obfuscation measures to prevent successful reverse engineering of products and far more onerous employment contracts to stop leaks.
I was one of those kids who LOVED video games, and I went to school to learn how to make them. Thankfully, I listened to my parents, and got a degree in Computer Science instead of a game focused major.

I tried for a long time time do the indie dev thing, but i just didn't have the commitment to stick with it after a full time job.

The friends I went to school with who DID end up in games are not working on Dark Souls 3. They tend to work on shitty mobile games with barely any game play, and make half as much as I do with a way less portable skill set.

Personally: I am happy with how it all turned out. I prefer building actually useful tools and applications over building shitty video games.

After reading enough of these indie game funerals, I have come to the conclusion that there just isn't a market there anymore. I think the data agrees with me here.

I also make music in my free time, and it is a similar issue. I pour work into my music, and for what? For nobody to care or to listen to it. So it goes.
But WebGPU you can just try out directly in the browser and immediately start hacking away (if you have chrome, or activate some flags in firefox):

https://google.github.io/tour-of-wgsl/

No need to setup, install or config anything. I think that is arguably easier as a quick start.

Otherwise yes, the whole tooling and everything else is not really that mature in WebGPU.

And thanks for Taichi. I did not know of that libary and it sounds interesting! (I will stay with WebGPU for now)
I agree that those groups are majorities, but I personally think it's more about language than money - or at least, it will be for the generation getting into computing now. You don't need too much money now to buy a computer capable of running modern software. If you can muster 50 US dollars you're basically there. However, English is so prevalent in software that Germans in the industry typically speak to each other in English rather than German!
Yeah, I really like Lob. They work well for doing what they say they’ll do. I don’t think I’ve had a mishap yet. Any time there has been an issue, it’s been user error.
I've run into this kind of snake oil in the cloud, as well. Some organizations demand all routing go through an "upstream" VPC operated by the parent org's IT dept, so various third-party security services (WAFs, IDSes, etc.) can scan / inspect the traffic.

Ah, I thought you were saying that if we all just used e2e tests to ensure we didn't make breaking changes in minor versions, we'd be fine. I didn't realize you were talking about the downstream package's tests.

I do still take issue with your insinuation that it's the package maintainers' poor practices that are at fault here. The real world is a messy, complex place and "best practices" don't translate well from situation to situation.

OP didn't ask for their package to be included in Nix. Presumably OP's system works for them and for their use case, but whoever created the Nix package made assumptions that turned out to be flawed. It's not fair of you to say that those bad assumptions are OP's fault because their package isn't "properly maintained" and doesn't "work as it should".

Someone (you?) made a bad assumption. Don't cast blame for that on someone who only knows Nix exists because it sends phony bug reports their way.
> It works even if the brightness is maxed out(M1 Air)

No it doesn't, I'm trying it out right now on my M1 Air. If my screen brightness is max, the video isn't extra-bright in Chrome or in Safari. If I turn down the screen brightness, it does stand out.

I don't know what you're talking about having to "blast the ambient light sensor" to get your screen to max brightness, that's not how my M1 Air works and it's not how any Mac laptop is supposed to work. That's used for "Automatically adjust brightness" (which I have on) but that's overridden at any moment just by using the brightness buttons on your keyboard to turn it up to the max. So I'm not sure how you think you've got your brightness "maxed out" but it seems you don't. You might have some other setting preventing it, like automatic screen dimming in battery mode.

> My point, I suppose, is that users of NNs arent interested in the architecture characteristics which affect training -- they're interested in how capable any given model will be.

Yes.

A more helpful bit of information could be what the model was pre-trained on. Assuming they’re trying to refine it for a more specific task.

Size is helpful for “what can I run on my machine” (or how much would it cost to run on a server.) Not all models are created equal, given a byte size, for a given task.
Corporate lawyers also get paid whether they file lawsuits or not, so no, it's not really in their interests to file frivolous lawsuits.

This is an interesting post...though I'm surprised to see this kind of optimization occur so late stage/as large as Canva.

There's quite a few anti-cloud opinions in the comments but for anyone who is hosted on S3 and would like this same level of automated analysis for cost savings on S3 (and other AWS services), we basically profile for this out-of-the-box on Vantage and it's free to get an optimization check to see savings: https://www.vantage.sh/

Not meant to be as shameless of a plug, but seems very relevant to the topic at hand for onlookers.
The choice of font itself is fine I think, but the way KDE uses font sizes, weights, colors, and padding/margins could use work. Other OSes/DEs better use all four cues to denote information hierarchy and importance which reduces visual noise and makes window content faster and easier to parse.
The negativity in this thread is fascinating and shows just how different expectations from users can be. I've been a KDE user since installing Fedora on a lark right when KDE4 "left beta" which, if the developers were being honest, was much closer to an alpha. It was painful, but KDE today is very feature rich and relatively low resource.

I use KDE on a very old thinkpad and it is fantastic, I really enjoy the experience. KRunner is my primary way of interacting with the DE and combined with the recent touchpad gesture support is a very clean way of navigating what a DE should provide a user. I've been using plasma wayland for the last two years and in the last year has become more 'clean' (smoother animations, no tearing, stable) than X11 ever was. I get ~9 hours of battery on an X1 Nano Gen2 using the most recent Firefox and various terminal applications.

Every six months or so I try other DEs, gnome, budgie, the plethora of tiling managers, etc et al. None of them are as nice to use as KDE. KDE specifics aside, as always, Linux on the desktop is more polished than ever. Is it as polished as Windows/MacOS? Probably not but I don't really care. Maybe it is finally the year of the Linux desktop? Using any of these modern GUIs, ZFS, and the impressive new 8+ core CPUs available from AMD/Intel with 32Gb+ of RAM and NVME SSD makes it seem like local computing has become what I always wanted it to be. I now store and process my data in RAM. It's incredible how fast laptop compute is.

BTW. Latte dock is very stable now as well, and is a great addition to KDE if you haven't tried it. Obligatory scrot...

All of my friends who live in 2 bedroom apartments in decent neighborhoods in chicago are paying $2300-2500, without parking included. Chicago median rent is artificially depressed because there are a lot of very bad neighborhoods you would never live in, while those in SF are quite rare (Tenderloin, SoMa)
In PDX there is "Portland Indie Game Squad" and they actually do this.

Unfortunately, it just doesn't make money for the people putting in work developing the game.
JavaScript used to be a little elegant in its simplicity. JavaScript now is getting complicated. Syntactic sugar, I think, is only there to build a moat around a tech to justify a salary premium and reduce the number of newcomers. You end up with a dozen arcane ways to do the same thing, and you have to be fluent with all of them in order to read your teammates code. It makes the language harder to use, while adding no new functionality
What is the problem with this image?
You ask the executive if he wants to get to his goal with a team of 200 after lighting on fire 20M, or with a team of 20 after paying 2M.

Ultimately you end up in the same spot, but one choice is fairly suboptimal there.
This looks very interesting!

Question: looks like Ghidra can be used as a GDB "interface", is that correct?
Noto Sans is a "version" of Arial and is inappropriate for a user interface.

I have looked at screenshots of ChromeOS and, for obvious reasons, they don't seem to be using it - they use Roboto and Product Sans just like they do in Android.
"And to be clear, Elon, you will lose, and you know it."

Holy shit, the spice levels here are off the charts. This isn't the level of swagger I expect to read in a legal letter.
Fair point. My current target market is people able to send via a text message.

This actually used to have a Messenger app, but the maintenance to spam ratio was too much for something I’m not interested in babysitting.

Maybe I’ll add WhatsApp integration in the future, if enough requests are made for it :)
Also, codegen-units = 1 disables some compiler parallelization which means it can find more optimizations, including for size: https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/build-configuration....

How much money would it cost for your children to safely cross the city on a bike in the US?
Very, very few. Before 2018-2019 there were less than 100k/year sold in the US.
What user experience? They gained a Lilliputian amount of users from this Reddit debacle. UX fail
I think the easiest way to deal with that is to register a new handle directly through the instance hosting the community you want to participate into. I think participating in the community beats federation and having one handle for every instance. I don't think users care about federation.
Because the model is also encoding and generating something the user will not usually see. Demarcation tokens such as 
, 
 etc.

The probability of generating the end of sentence token which tells the model when to stop increases in probability as it responds to you.

If it's just a completion engine, it will generate silly things like a continuation of your input message. For all we know you're not asking an interactive question but requiring the completion of a list of questions. Who knows? As far as the model is concerned if it's not trained to reply it will just be a dumb completion engine.

When we do other training like Question, Answer pairs - the model learns that questions usually have an answer and the answer usually has a high probability of outputting the end of sentence token when the full answer has been written.

This is of course dependant on the fact that I'm allowed to generate that many tokens, I might get cut off prematurely if the developer set my token limit too low. I might also miss the mark and continue on if the other parameters made my outputs a bit too noisy but that's ok as either I'll get cut off or I'll reach a point before the token limit where I've said enough of what I wanted to say.
Well, step 1, have petabytes of data in S3, then don't pay the sticker price.

Step 2, write articles like this as part of your newly contracted "engagement" with Amazon to help justify the lower price.
Don’t drop school, supplement with coop on your off-semesters but main priority should be to knock school off the list of todos. If you can do a part-time dev job while at school than do that, but school should be #1. Finding a mentor at work will be much more of a skill up than going solo. Was the case for me.

Huge implosion at very high pressure. Would happen in milliseconds
Love this article. About once a year, I’ll buy an eBay tube radio from someone local. I’ll fix it on up since the tubes are usually good and all that needs to be replaced are the sad wax caps. Maybe a little realignment as well since I have it open.

I then give it back to the seller who usually is excited about having it work again. Once in a while I will put the stories on eham.net.

If for any reason the radio breaks, going to send the author an email to offer to fix it for free. All it takes are about $3 worth of mouser capacitors in my experience.
Seems similar to Go “defer” keyword
It depends, people who 'believe' less in stuff , they are actually smarter than the believers because of course most startups go to zero and if somebody is naive then there are higher chances that they won't be as bright as a depressive realist.

So you might counterintuitively actually end up ahead by hiring the person who doesn't believe in the company, because they'd work less and with less enthusiasm but the quality of the work might be better because they are as a person better than the naive believer.
In that screenshot, the font is too big and improperly hinted.

About paddings and margins I didn't say anything because that's really old. They haven't got that right since the KDE 3 days.
The problem here is you think the current story is the start of his abuse, this crap has been documented for years.

I think he was trying to show empathy that the work in porting the game was not "fun game-design-y" work, which I would absolutely agree with.

I doubt the dev got into game development so he could mess with console APIs and squash bugs.
Are you asserting that some shadowy cabal paid wikipedia to keep 9/11 conspiracy theories off the main article? If not, how is that related to our discussion?

"I'm surprised to see this kind of optimization occur so late"

Every single day I read the trope on HN that "premature optimization is the root of all evil".

So, these guys literally followed HN's creed.

I've listened to at least one (or two?) podcasts on slint, and I'm still not sure that I understand the license options, which makes me hesitate to invest time to learn.

I usually use the MIT license. Is the first license above compatible with MIT, without requiring forks (of my project) to GPL3 their code?

Does the latter license mean I can closed-source and commercialize my app and just include a shout-out to Slint and I'm good? (EDIT: if so, why would anyone choose the potentially expensive commercial option?)
Simplicity. People text photos to each other all the time, but don’t always use web apps or mobile apps.

Text messages are baked into everyone’s phones already. No apps to download, or websites to visit and log into. It’s just there, and you know how to use it.

Also, if I wanted to cover the entire user base, I’d have to make this my full time job. I think there are larger markets to focus on :). This is just fun.
Getting someone up and running with a flake.nix with a defined devShell is just as simple and probably requires less knowledge since it's not another tool bolted on. Making the env and CI reproducible should be seen more like a good stepping stone and you can take the next leap when ready since it can all happen in the same flake file rather than a separate YAML one.

The world is your oyster approach is skipping Docker and just running Nix on the server without the overhead of containers.
If you end up in jail due to 'civil accountability', you need a better lawyer! Personally, I don't believe such incarceration should be lawful, but it does happen from time to time. Causing harm by writing software can (and in my opinion should) be considered an offence as gross negligence, but that doesn't have anything to do with whether or not you hold a degree.
If you're using a DCI-P3 (wide-gamut HDR) display, then #0000ff (or #aaaaff) in that display's colour space will be emitted as more saturated blue light than what an sRGB display is capable of. I am not sure if you will perceive them as exactly equally bright, brightness is subjective and depends on the reaction of your retina to the light hitting it, which is why #0000ff (blue) appears darker than #00ff00 (green), however the objective energy of the emitted light should be equal between displays of different gamuts, i.e. #ff0000, #00ff00, #0000ff should all result in the same amount of light being emitted in every correctly calibrated display regardless of the RGB primaries (aka gamut) it uses. The whole colour space topic is pretty deep, if you want to learn more about it and how colours are represented and converted between spaces, I encourage you to go and check out https://www.colour-science.org/ and linked resources.
This is ironic because u/spez previously accused the Apollo developer of threatening him, due to a misunderstanding. Now this is what a real threat looks like.

What is the license like for this? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the official Llama has a license that allows research use. Would this have a similar restriction if it had the same model architechture but different parameters?
Not really. Numbers like that have some safety margin built in.
>You would be hard pressed to convince me that anyone making such suggestions should be taken seriously.

You aren't supposed to take Keynesian gold digging as a serious economic policy. It is a commentary about how your actions can be constrained so much that doing anything logical or reasonable becomes impossible because it hurts some special interest group.

> Much of our “money isn’t real” monetary policy is thanks to this thinking.

No, that started after the death of Keynesian economics. You know, the era of "monetary policy can fix anything"-Friedman. Monetary policy is inefficient so you have to do a lot of it and you can never stop.

If you want to take Keynes seriously, you should read a liquidity theory oriented book.

Right, so what does saying "[the game] needs to be fun" achieve? Absolutely nothing, because people who get it translate that into something useful like "make a satisfying core gameplay loop" and people who don't get it are still wondering what the hell "fun" means.

I'm criticizing the shallowness and lack of information in the comment. Everyone knows games should be fun. Saying "[the game] needs to be fun" has literally 0 bits of information and is a lazy explanation for why games don't succeed.
