My experience is that universally my linux gamer friends who own AMD products have worse experiences than I do - they are absolutely usable, but not worth buying at all if your primary purpose for owning a GPU is gaming.

> Black screens & hard freezes are nonexistent. Gaming performance on the Steam Deck and APU is reasonable for the hardware. Proton works better for me with AMD than NVIDIA (which makes sense, after all Valve’s development of it is aimed at the steam deck primarily).

Most likely you are playing games that Valve has already deployed patches/hacks for. Go off the beaten path from Steam and the proton runtime and you will find quickly that AMD is severely buggy.

Black screening is especially common with vega dgpus, can't say if it extends to the igpus are not but if you google 'vega black screen bug linux' you will find hundreds of reddit posts and bug reports about this going back to 2018.

While it's correct that each Git commit is a snapshot of the worktree, and not a diff, Git uses copy-on-write / structural sharing, which means that generally speaking adding a commit to your repository is a very cheap operation storage wise.

There wasn't any real claim the redaction was illegitimate, only that the attorney for the party who wanted to protect it used the wrong technique to protect it. If the journalist wanted to publish the ... above-board way to do it would have been to ask the judge to order an unredacted version filed, or a change in the redactions... which I don't see any reason here a judge would do that.
The CL4040 had two CL4020 chips in the package. It took four chips to encode 1/2 D1 resolution (352x480), so this was the smallest MPEG-2 encoder possible at the time (1995).

The TMS320 chip was the audio encoder and was only capable of MPEG-1 Layer 2 coding.

The i960 was primarily used for bitstream multiplexing, either Transport Stream or Program Stream. The idea was to offload the host so that you could have many encoders in a cheap PC (with a big power supply).
I think the article implied pretty clearly that some things which count as successful confessions in Japan would be viewed as awkward or otherwise inappropriate in Western countries. It would have been interesting to see a list of such examples in order to see the difference in culture.

> This is not specific to mmap -- regular old write() calls have the same behavior.

This is not true. This depends on how the file was opened. You may request DIRECT | SYNC when opening and the writes are acknowledged when they are actually written. This is obviously a lot slower than writing to cache, but this is the way for "simple" user-space applications to implement their own cache.

In the world of today, you are very rarely writing to something that's not network attached, and depending on your appliance, the meaning of acknowledgement from write() differs. Sometimes it's even configurable. This is why databases also offer various modes of synchronization -- you need to know how your appliance works and configure the database accordingly.

Symbolic Logic and The Game of Logic, by Lewis Carroll

Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces, by Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau
If anything, I view that as a slight deficiency and bias of the essay's sense. Here's how I'd phrase it based on what's worked for me, which is "Learn to fall in love with expensive, poorly-solved problems." Not all expensive poorly-solved problems are poorly-solved, but for the ones that are, focusing your curiosity on them -- why they are expensive, why they are poorly-solved, what state of the art looks like, how it could be improved -- that is a surefire way, in my view, towards doing great work.

Now, that may not be considered great work by the essay. But I might read the essay with my assumption around its editorialization -- which is that it's to some degree an attempt to describe "here's what I'd like to invest in." I'll bet you today (and especially in the future) that if I tested the author's revealed preference about investing in "my" thesis of great work, while our stated preferences might differ, our revealed preferences would align.

Caveat that this is this is all conjecture given that I've never directly interacted with YC's investment thesis.
Why tunnel vision on particularities of one private institution when the presumed reason for caring in the first place is fairness in access to higher education? Harvard enrolls 1,200 pupils/year. That's a rounding error.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously they shouldn't fly completely under the radar on egregious shit (e.g. racial discrimination), but too much public attention on it reinforces the lie that admission to Harvard has any importance to society.

They want to be a 43% legacy/athlete/family school? Cool. When I hire applicants fresh out of school, I already operate with the understanding that most applicants managed to skate by in their studies. And after 5 years of experience, I couldn't give less of a shit about formal education.

The issue is that this illustrates that Lemmy has any priorities above the onboarding process. My mind will need to be changed about that before I will read any further.

Additionally, I can be quite confident that Lemmy has already alienated so many others just like me who will also need to be won over somehow. You only get so many chances.

Frankly, I think open source advocates are extremely ignorant about the realities of late capitalism and the tasks ahead of them, which serves as the underlying reason for failing to get the priorities straight. I have contributed many hours to open source projects myself. I am no stranger to the short-sighted anarchist mindset that permeates open source land.
It seems very clear which version you prefer, but why do you call it a "fantasy" of spontaneity?

Because it happens all the time, it's no fantasy at all. You might not like it, but it very much exists. It's not just something from the movies, it's how basically everyone I know who's married got started.

You're right that arranged marriage is very much anathema to mainstream American culture, since arguably the most central value of the country is that of individual choice/liberty.

I find this paper extremely suspicious.

If this actually worked, it should be able to cough up a 6502, 6809, 8051, etc. as well since they are so much simpler--especially since they even mention a Commodore 64.

The fact that they don't do this stinks very strongly. There are other concerning signs in the paper as well.
> I decided to see how many commits GitHub (and git) could take before acting kind of wonky. At ~19 million commits (and counting) to master: it’s wonky.

This just doesn't seem right to me. Why? Its obvious at some point you'll harm the service. If the goal was to test it, why not try locally with git.
This feels slightly malicious, but I can’t help but admire the curiosity that takes someone to actually see what happens if. That said, now we know, so nobody else needs to bother GitHub engineers by doing this again, hopefully.
Silicon validation is a huge part of the overall cost of bringing up a chip, because it’s so important that the physical hardware do what it’s supposed to do. So it’s gonna be limited to behaving exactly as the validation specifies, which likely will limit how “alien” it will actually be.

Doesn't matter, we can still talk about Western culture (meaning mostly Anglosaxon in this context, and including Europe in others) and Japanese culture.

It's about defaults and majority/average preferences, not about "every single one does this" and it gets tiring to remind people otherwise, as if they don't know.

as pointed out in the sibling comments, that's not right, but also it can't possibly be right: torvalds/linux has about 1.2M commits, and according to https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/, the current Linux kernel source size is 131M after compression, so (assuming the kernel size has grown linearly with each commit) each maintainer would need to have 75 TB of storage on their personal machine?
If by "this civilization" you mean Soviet Union, presuming modern Russia only, then FYI Ukraine is also part of that civilization.
That's not how git works. Unless every commit changes every single file in the repo (without ever reverting to a previous state). Most repos don't work that way.

22 million commits is a lot though; the author states that the repo was over 8GB "last they checked", and the entire thing looked to be an experiment to determine "Github's or git's breaking point" - I guess they found it.
"It" is the transfer.

> eating at different times won’t magically make your sphincter to your stomach close any tighter

Stomach acid is also produced as reaction to food intake and other signals. Less acid => less reflux?

BTW probiotics have been found potentially effective by this systematic review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7019778/

This is probably not as simple as blaming the dysfunctional sphincter.

IMO early time restricted feeding shouldn’t be dismissed so quickly, it‘s potentially a fix for a number of systemic and gastric/enteric issues. The evidence is still weak but promising. The most important part here is „early“ - intermittent fasting usually has an eating window in the afternoon and maybe right until bed time. According to some (weak) studies, moving the eating window to the morning and early afternoon has vastly different effects.

√ This theory suggests that electromagnetic radiation can be understood in terms of quantized particles, a fact that has immense experimental support.

You're assuming that the quantized particles are not also waves.

As far as adam, you'll note that smaller waves are much easier to spot in the ocean then really large amplitude waves. The fact that we see Adams behaving his waves could me or not the ways are small enough for us to see them.
It really depends how good the course is, with well-designed problem sets/project prompts you can't really fake learning (assuming you actually complete them). Is it going to be totally exhaustive of everything you may need to know in practice? Obviously not, but no single project will be either, especially not for such a broad field as machine learning.

Independent projects can definitely be a great way to learn, and yes many courses are shitty. But it is also very possible to take a good course and walk away with new knowledge you didn't even realize you needed. Some of my favorite projects actually started with an idea from a course, and then I learned even more in order to further expand on it. Synergy between project-driven and course-driven education can be a powerful iterative process.
Because perfection probably isn't attainable. Exceeding human performance by a large margin should be good enough. There is no reason to compare a fleet driving 500,000 hours (or much more) in a year to one person driving 300 hours in a year.

A single professional driver cannot drive hundreds of thousands of hours in a year.
From https://newatlas.com/medical/bpclip-smartphone-blood-pressur... :

> The BPClip simply gets clipped onto one corner of the user's smartphone, so that a tiny hole in the device sits over the phone's camera lens, and a light guide in it covers the phone's flash.

> Instructed by an accompanying app, the user then presses a fingertip down onto the hole – a spring in the clip provides resistance, allowing them to take multiple readings using different amounts of force.

> For each reading, the camera takes a photo of the flash-lit underside of the fingertip, looking through the hole. Because the hole is so small, each image just takes the form of a red dot. The diameter of that dot increases as more pressure is applied, while the brightness of the red color varies with the volume of blood being pumped in and out of the finger.

Some camera sensors detect infrared.
An infrared LED (like in old remote controls) might be useful for this, too; like NIRS Near-Infrared Spectroscopy with chemometrics, which works because red and infrared light pass through tissue.

IDK what that would do for the cost of such a potential tricorder-like medical device attachment.

I think it's not such a big deal because the input generators are usually pretty good and because most solutions that give up some correctness for performance can pretty cheaply detect that they done goofed and fall back to a slow path where they start over and do it some other way. This ends up being useful because scoring is the median runtime of 3 successful runs (so if you fail one of the 3 then your submission fails completely). It also means that probabilistic solutions that would be correct in non-adversarial environments (like using a bloom filter or N bloom filters tuned to give an exact result given the input constraints with probability >99.9%) are admissible.
I suspect that "macro state that is more important to us" really is special in some objective way, not just subjectively.

More correct title would be "GitHub stopped abuse after 22M commits".

There is absolutely nothing wrong with GH stopping that and it's very wrong to insinuate otherwise like OP is doing.

Wouldn't be surprised if GH would permaban him.
Maybe a strategic over-correction so they can downplay uncomfortable criticisms.
Perhaps an assumption that one is in it for the long haul. If your parents were married till one or the other's death, or at least past the date of your own wedding, then that will affect your view.

Kids probably don't hurt. Samuel Johnson said that monogamy was so unnatural that it was all that the law could do to keep couples together. (And he had been happily married.) But married parents do offer stability to children--not always, but probably more often than other household configurations.
You can get smooth-edged bokeh in a physical lens by inserting an apodisation filter inside:

http://www.4photos.de/camera-diy/Apodization-Filter.html

This is an aperture with fuzzy soft edges so that the bokeh fades out smoothly around the edges instead of being formed of hard circles.

It makes the images look like they have Photoshop- or cellphone-faked bokeh, because you end up with effectively a Gaussian blur in the background.

I'm not dictating anything. You don't want notifications? Great! You can disable them. You want notifications only between these sets of timespans? No problem! Oh you want blacklist/whitelist certain groups/people? Can do!
