I strongly depends on what you mean by 'control' and 'made'. In a sense it all depends on the depth of control and making your own; nearly all modern silicon requires proprietary software to initialise it to a usable state, and almost all hardware can't really run on its own and needs supporting devices which can cause an otherwise open design to end up closed anyway (even if it is something tangentially adjacent like a required PMIC).

Some CPUs and SoC can be operated to their fullest capabilities with pure open hardware and software designs where you have all the control in the world (if we draw the line at silicon diffusion and packaging), but those usually lack one thing or another making them less feasible for common modern use. Often these are things like memory controllers and I/O where internal SoC peripherals need special initialisation before they are usable. Even in cases where the driver side of things is reverse-engineered a bunch of Real-Time OS code needs to be loaded at boot time to get things like GPUs, Basebands and storage to work at all. So far, there are practically no cases where those have been reverse-engineered and replaced.

For a lot of internet-commenting-people, 'open' means something specific to them, like changing some design aspects like colours and fonts, or installing cracked software. Those are mostly just end-user features and have little to do with openness. This has a sad side-effect making searching for 'open' information get littered with what essentially boils down to appearance and recompositions of existing software.

Perhaps we need 'levels' of openness or other words to describe what we mean. The Snapdragon example is a good one in that it essentially uses an openly available and targetable ISA, but closed system design which still makes it impossible to use as-is (thus needing the blobs you mentioned). On one hand it's all legal and NDA stuff, on the other hand it's also laziness and cheaping out on the long-term usability. If a company were to spend just a little of their marketing budget on finding out the parts of the hardware that doesn't need all that NDA coverage, making open software to run the hardware becomes much easier.
I'm not sure that's a problem, so much as it's gender observations. I've seen the same things. There's a meeting I go to, where it can be various blends of men and women. All the people are close and comfortable with each other, but if it happens to be only men, there's silence. If it's a mix, particularly if certain women are present, there's this animated chatter that's easy to join in on.

I know for me the heart of what I am isn't about 'opening up', it's about things like that IT geek stuff (but translated into what I do).

It feels like an emotional Dunbar number: I do best when there's just a couple people with whom I keep track of how they're doing in a personal way, and it matters a great deal but I won't feel at all the same way about twenty people at once. It seems like women are more likely to keep track of how large numbers of people are doing, in a social way, which won't always mean trying to HELP people: they can get caught up in drama when there's conflict among the people, and it takes on great importance.

I'll have a much smaller number of people like that, and will bind more loosely to them, and I think it's the same mechanism but it just doesn't scale the way it does with women. I don't see it as a problem, more as an observation.
I work on Copilot now, and I can say this guy is totally full of himself. Just because he contributed to the first prototype does not entitle him to claim creation. He wasn’t even the first person inside Microsoft to use LLMs in an IDE completion experience. The work from prototype to product is an order of magnitude more than prototype alone.
I think there's a difference between self-percieved "amount desired" and "amount REQUIRED for sanity."

Eg I have a few friends who left to their own devices would never make social plans and when I invite them to a BBQ they'll stand lamely to the side BUT at the end of the day they are much happier than if they sat home yet again. I am a mild case of this as well.

No, they didn't perceive threats, they perceived opportunity to push harder on the culture war, since it's basically their leading platform and leading means of generating the outrage that keeps their people voting. The "threat" was entirely manufactured. The group discussing it were not even TALKING about banning or confiscating stoves.

You can now sort your playlists in the sidebar and if I’d had that years ago I may have actually used their playlists effectively to organize my music! Not sure if I have the energy to get back into it tho.
From the Twitter thread:

> I’m not upset! Making copilot was an absolute joy. Just putting corpo internals in perspective for others.
Community has an episode at the end where they trash a camper. It seemed comedy driven at first but the longer I looked at it and campers the more plausible that scene seemed. It’s foam and plywood.

Edit: I finally clicked through the autopian link from up thread and it’s reminding me there’s a guy I watch sometimes who does conversion vans. All of his stuff is built around those extruded aluminum rails. He hasn’t figured out how to make use of those last few cubic feet yet but he seems to do a good job and they’re fairly sturdy. Last I watched he was perfecting his showers.

I now wonder what it would look like if he converted buses instead of shop vans. You have a superstructure that might actually survive a hit, they’re already set up for AC units, you “just” need to build repeatable interiors. But you need much more shop space, time, and capital to do something of that sort.
You can retry failed jobs these days (for awhile now, at least a year? I can't remember).

Workflows can also be (sort of, depending on what you mean?) dynamically generated by using tojson and fromjson to feed the output of one job into a matrix.

Full disclosure, I work at Microsoft but nothing to do with GitHub.

I like SF weather overall, but the Bay Area as a whole generally has fantastic weather. Despite being an SF resident, personally I'd say the peninsula (south of SF) and the most of the East Bay have better weather than SF.

The South Bay and the far East Bay can get a little too hot for my taste, but plenty of people prefer that to year round fog/wind in much of SF.
Three men including ex-NYPD officer convicted of harassing Chinese exile
The age factor certainly played a role, but I do not think the media influenced in my decision a lot. Judging from European mainstream media the southern red states are full of retards, which I cannot confirm from our visit. Quite the opposite, Huntsville seems to be packed with bright engineers, Savannah is full of "weird" (in a very positive way) people, and Nashville is not just the capital of corny country music, but a concentration of musical talent that you will not find anywhere else in the world. I think the main influence was anecdotes from friends. One friend said that New York has lost a lot of its appeal while still being outrageously expensive, another claimed that you cannot stay in lower priced hotels in California anymore unless you are fine with seeing drug addicts in the lobby and bulled proof glass in front of the reception desk. Not sure if all this is true, but I did not feel like finding out.

Oh, I had to drop out of the process last year and have since found somewhere I'm actually really enjoying. I mostly wanted to follow up so if someone in my network asked me I could give them the most up to date information possible. I'd feel really bad if I was giving out of date information. I'm glad you've updated your process.
Another success story for the BCHS stack.

The executor, queue, state, drivers, etc. are all on Github (https://github.com/inngest/inngest).

Over the last year we've been iterating on the internals a lot to build things like:

- Concurrency (shared nothing, auto-scalable)

- Batching (have one fn run with 100 events, vs 1:1 mapping)

- Prioritization

- Replay

- Parallelization

- Branch deploys

- Rate limiting

The changes have been heavy, and it would be really hard for self-hosted people to handle the migrations necessary for these. Now that this is slowing, self hosting is realistically something that's possible soon. We'd prefer to offer self hosting when it's easy and ready, vs something that's a burden to operate.
Summary: water attenuates radio signals, and a 4Km cable is going to be way heavy and subject to currents.
You are not alone. There are lots of folk who have your opinion. You are of course free to have it.

That doesn't change the fact that the only killer app is criminal activity. Of course you -can- do non-criminal things with it, but frankly as a currency it's terrible. It's way too volatile, and transactions are both too expensive and too slow.

I get the goals - decentralisation, limited money supply (which in theory is supposed to limit inflation, but doesn't) and so on. Unfortunately the volatility dwarfs any inflation hedging etc. It's also super-risky right now, so I recommend holding your own coins. Not your keys not your money.

Sure it's different. Sure it's idealistic. But it's also, well, a terrible currency.

Which means mostly it serves as a nice way to do criminal transactions.
Worth pointing out that Finland has a much more sparse population density than the United States, with the United States having about 35 people per square kilometer, to Finland's 16. This might enable them to create even cheaper buildings in less desirable parts of their country, though on the flip side, I don't know that all of Finland's land is considered "liveable", basically being in the North Pole. Looking at their homelessness statistics, they've been on a downward trend for homelessness since 1989, having about 17,000 homeless individuals. So assuming that's around the time they started working to put homeless people in houses, I'll use that as their baseline. I'm not sure how accurate the census is on the homeless population in the US, but according to the following link we have about 582,000:

https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homeless...

I guess the question here is: does Finland's assisted living solution scale to the size of the United States' homeless problem? And I truly don't have that answer, but while I think it's valuable to point out the patterns that other countries have done to course correct their issues, I think it's also fair to say not every pattern that smaller countries use will work at scale, or even work with our current economic and social systems.
thanks for sharing this, do you mind if I include this in the post. I will credit you of course (let me know what you'd like linked to).

update: I've edited the post to include these results as well
Sometimes they're still necessary. E.g. many devices need particular sequencing in their power-up between multiple rails. The Intel 82598 Ethernet Controller datasheet[1] page 129-132 shows this nicely. If you're writing a driver you have to test that the appropriate GPIO control calls happen in the right sequence (and with the right timings). Of course it's an implementation detail, different ethernet controllers have different power-up sequence requirements, and thus different drivers.

Of course you don't want to have to use real hardware for these tests, especially because with some devices incorrect power-up sequencing can cause permanent damage. So you write mocks for the various hardware functions and test the driver with those, and use their counters & the test harness's logging to assert that the sequencing and timing is correct.

As a special case it's worth noting that some 20 European countries are experiencing depopulation at a rate of around 10-20%. Countries with a significant welfare & national pension system cannot survive long term depopulation if there are not enough taxes coming in to pay for it.
The question is not, "Does this guy hate/understand crypto?"

The question is, "Is this guy right about centralized platform regulation causing industry-wide collapse?"
This is spot on and I just made a comment to the same point.

It's maybe analogous to someone who has always been overweight and therefore don't perceive a problem with it because they don't have a reference point on how much better being in shape feels.

I guess the threat to humanity has been postponed until the next round of IPO's ??
OpenJourney is fine tuned SD
Yeah. I don't know what "created" means. Was this person strongly advocating for the creation of Copilot, putting together business cases for why Copilot should be created, and fighting with corporate to get dedicated resources onto a Copilot team? Or did this person join as a software engineer and happened to be assigned to the Copilot team? There's a much stronger case for "deserving" (whatever that means in capitalism terms) greater compensation for the former than the latter.

This person is also trying to hire startup roles, so not exactly an unbiased viewpoint, either.
It doesn't for the newer (relevant) ones. Fine-tuning them is expensive and slow, because they are large
have you ever lived in a major city that didn't have dangerous neighborhoods? at any time in the history of the united states? i'm a minority who has been harassed and assaulted in certain parts of the united states (hint: in rural areas). what's your advice for me and what prescriptions do you have to quell rural violence?
"but we can sometimes control the amount of desire we have by avoiding triggers that remind us"

That is true, but a sad conclusion. I don't believe, that there are many people who truly want to be alone all the time. Most just rather be alone, than with mean idiots, who will hurt them again.

But avoiding other people and situations to not be reminded how alone you are, will also never allow you to be in a position, where you can indeed open up and connect to the right people.

This is a really magical feeling. Being connected to people who you like, where you just feel welcome and don't have the feeling to be on your guard all the time. There is a reason many people are obsessed with party and drugs as this will get them this feeling temporarily. But I want that feeling everyday and without drugs. But the daily grind makes it an exception.
I believe this is at least one solution, and one that the folks at stability themselves were pushing hard as a next step forward in the development of LLMs.
The most recent and powerful collision attack on SHA1 is essentially a form of differential cryptanalysis, made feasible by SHA1's linear key schedule. SHA2 has a totally different key schedule that doesn't admit the same attack.

Blake2 looks like SHA2 in the sense that all cryptographic hash functions look kind of similar, but they're unrelated:

* the BLAKE hashes are derived from ChaCha20

* they're HAIFA hashes rather than Merkle-Damgard (you can sort of think of MD hashes as "previous generation" hashes, and anything after that as "current generation") --- MD hashes work sort of the way you'd think CBC-MAC works (just chaining and throwing out the results), and HAIFA keeps state between rounds.

* MD4, MD5, SHA1, and SHA2 are straight Davies Meyer constructions --- the compression function (1) encrypts the chaining value (2) with the current message block as the key and (3) XORs the result against the chaining value --- and BLAKE isn't.

Aumasson has posted, I think a couple times, a prediction that collisions in SHA2 simply won't ever be found; that's based on an assessment that there is essentially nothing on the horizon that threatens it. The reasons not to use SHA2 are performance (though: SHA2 has excellent perf on current hardware) and avoiding length extension attacks (ie, forgetting to use HMAC instead of keyed hashes, which nobody does).
It still does, but it's indirect and not as visible.

1. Social Security and Medicare benefits are being paid for by currently working (read: younger) people.

2. Retirement funds invested in equities and bonds require continued productivity by younger generations to retain value.

Maybe parents don't rely on their specific offspring, but they definitely rely on society's offspring as a whole.

These lanes and pull outs aren't common everywhere. When I visited NZ, it took me a day or two to realize they had a purpose. RVers usually are not driving in their home country.

I just recently tried to use the side lane in DK to let others pass (set signal, decelerate, pull over as far as possible). It actually confused the other drivers so much that they didn't dare to take over, even when there was lots of space to do so.
Frankly I'm surprised only the Chinese are doing it. You would think large corporations would do the same against internal troublemakers, competitors, etc.

Piggy-backing on this thread: does anyone know of any open-hardware computer printer you can DIY at home? (Ideally not using any pre-made ink/etc. cartridges; can be a dot-matrix or even Selectric/daisy-wheel printer.)
That is a solid way to introduce the different test doubles. Thanks for the link. I agree, stubs and spies are my daily bread. I also use fakes very regularly. I hardly ever use mocks, for the same reasons in the post.

He's a guy that took traditional pimping online. Convinced girls to move to his locale with promises of marriage and wealth, and when they got there made them perform webcam shows with threats of violence, retaliation, exportation. He took all the money, and gave them a small percentage.

He also documented and proudly expressed what he was doing on social media. So it should be a fairly open and shut case.

He also has a very active social media presence (primarily YouTube and TikTok) about life and power, with mansions and exotic sports cars, so many young boys are looking to him and finding a macho role model... I went through it with my son, and have a couple friends with boys of similar ages who have as well. Plenty of 20 and 30 something's are more or less pledging allegiance to him on Twitter though.

Having a child now makes wanting him to be "like me" seem like such a fools errand at this point. He's so obviously his own person that even if he decided to do things in a similar way to me his path to getting there would be so different that it wouldn't actually be the same at all.
My favorite HN-friendly analogy:

Public transport is circuit-switched like the Bell System (i.e. trains must physically "switch the road" to change track).

Private transport is packet-switched like the Internet. Not a big truck, not a series of tubes, but a series of small trucks :)

While that is true, the original quote suggests that because Amazon is rich they should be able to offer one of the safest workplaces. That does imply that if you are not rich then there is less expectation on you to offer a safe workplace.
2021, QN95A75QE, an impulse-buy while they were massively discounted some time before the 2022 release. Mine has some ~700-ish dimming zones IIRC.

Moving bright content on dark background reveals the dimming zone resolution as the zones chase the content - credits is the main thing that comes to mind, where the text brightness fluctuates as it transitions zones. A circular loading indicator can also trip this, but the TV recognizes it after a rotation and then evenly illuminates the path.

Turning down the dimming from max would likely help, but some may be surprised to hear that credits are not my main content priority.

The brightness is great for my bright living room though, and worlds apart from the OLED sets I've seen in similar settings.

As an aside, super happy I got the 2021 - a friend got the S95B, and the newer Tizen UI is way more intrusive and more ad-filled.

At least in the US, vapor recovery seems to be implemented differently by state. In California I notice fumes when pumping gas far less than in New York. There seems to be various types of nozzles and legislation (some with rubber boots and some without). Since 2006 cars were apparently required to have vapor recovery systems built in, so the EPA has dropped requirements for systems at the pump. California (not surprisingly) still seems to lead the way in improving the effectiveness of the systems despite the EPA backing off.
