That's why there's likely in the passage you quoted. No, you don't know that for sure. Yes, you need to check out that possibility, because it's very likely the cause of poor utilization.
I think we are still too early. Better to be just a few years old right now.

> For people that own a Steam Deck, how do you like it?

It's one of the best hardware purchases I've done in years. It's surprising how well it managed to balance "It just works" with "You can still customize/modify/install things you need.". It's not perfect (screen could be better, battery life could be better, it's a bit chunky).

> And how do you use it?

I use it as a "secondary" gaming device. I have a gaming PC where I play games with a Steam library. Since Deck shares that library and seamlessly syncs save games, I can sneak in some game time before sleep, when travelling or when commuting with a lot of game time. When I have more time, I usually move back to my PC where the games and saves are waiting for me.

The fact that it goes instantly to sleep and suspends games is amazing - it really reduces a lot of friction for short gaming sessions because you don't need to wait for games to load.

If you don't play games though... it's probably pointless to get one.
As a developer and consumer I support everything that OpenAI is doing. They are not perfect but I appreciate their services.

That said: I have been both fascinated by and having fun self hosting less capable models like Vicuna 33B which is sometimes surprisingly good and sometimes mediocre.

For using LLMs, I think it is best to have flexibility and options.
Love it. It's replaced my gaming rig.

Caveat: I'm not a frame rate chaser and I'm not obsessed with graphics quality, so a lower end GPU running at 40hz is perfectly fine by me.

The huge win for me is sleep mode. The fact I can pick up my deck, play during some downtime, then put the thing to sleep and pick it up later, is huge. Couple that with the fact I can play anywhere and it allows me to play during those fragments of time when, previously, it was just too much of a pain to trundle off to my desk, fire up my rig, and get a game going.

And the range of control options means short of a fast twitch FPSes, where I still prefer m&kb (tbf I was never that good, and a lot of folks do just fine with stick+touchpad+gyro or a flick stick setup), there's little I can't play on the deck after some tweaking to get the controls the way I like.
Alchemy promised similar goals by more mystical means. Taoist practices for life extension go back thousands of years. They would have seemed like actual possibilities to someone living then, too. Just providing some perspective. Medical technologies certainly hold promise, but it may well be another 1000+ years before a meaningful breakthrough occurs. Or it may never.
Okay, I concede that they have injected cookies into HTTP sites for tracking purposes, and maybe injected ads. But 8 years later the web landscape has changed, everyone uses TLS by default and we have Certificate Transparency, so this sort of thing can't be done anymore.

The most they can do now is spy on your DNS and redirect unresolved domains to some ad-filled page.

This may be a case of the mental model not matching the technical model. Under macOS, windows aren’t program instances, they’re just windows — they’re all hosted by the same single parent program instance. It’s technically possible to open a true second instance of a program using the Terminal, which spawns a second Dock icon, but few people do this on a regular basis.

This is why open windows are represented on the second level, e.g. listed in the context menu that appears when you right click a dock icon. Programs and windows are not synonymous, and in fact windows belong to programs.

Macs have used this model since they first gained multitasking decades ago.
It's pretty crazy that changes in privacy policies apply ex post facto on data that was generated before the privacy policy change.
Its sort of crazy that if I said we should ban computers or landline telephones or the internet from schools I'd be pilloried as a luddite. But everyone cheers banning smartphones. Because they are convinced (without evidence) that they are addictive. And of course, the best way to teach kids about addictive things is to give them zero exposure to them until they turn 18 (21 etc) then give them full, limitless, unsupervised access...

>will say that, when I see object-oriented code that branches on the particular subclass of a value at run time, it's often one of the earlier sign that the code is getting messy.

Suppose you have AST which has Node and its various subclasses like ExpressionNode, which then has e.g ConstantExpressionNoee

And so on, many, many other

How would you then avoid branching basing on type?
It's absolutely amazing. The screen is the only weak point and I don't mean the resolution, as I'd rather have 1280*800 native for that size than FHD and the associated performance hit, but it's a bit uneven in lighting, especially in a place near the top where it seems to be affixed and I have a hot (permagreen) pixel. Of the rest, the form factor is brilliant, it's very ergonomic and nice to hold. Scaling of battery drain with performance demands will seem like magic to someone used to Windows laptops. The software stack and the amount of control it affords the end user is easily the best part, nothing is locked down.
It’s not fast if you want to do batch processing, but if you want fast and predictable responses, it’s quite good.

It's much more ergonomic gaming from the couch or moving around the house, than hunching over a PC. Persona 4, Phoenix Wright, Tangle Tower, Halls of Torment, older action adventure games. Going through a lot of my backlog as it's easy to just pause and come back in small increments.
Between this and my kids actually being able to ride a bike around without getting mowed down by drivers I'm ecstatic to be moving there next month.

The circle of Web 2.X (3.X?) progress continues! This was called the 'Facebook Wall' in 2007. You could write stories, post links, photos, etc. It worked and scaled. Not much longer until they progress into a 'student directory and message' app, exclusively for college and university students.

> Personally I find this astonishingly foolish of the people who train exclusively on these tools instead of first principles and primitives.

The argument for Universities right here.

I always find the opinion that Universities should make students job ready to be naive, even if well intentioned. There's a place for certifications that focus on job readiness, and there needs to remain a place that focuses on first principles and primitives.

I went to University about a decade into my career as a programmer to fill in the pot holes and absorb the first principles and primitives. I advocate that route every time I can. It's great if people can get a certification and start working with GA right away, and they have a place to level up their career with the money they make if they want to.
Standard VPNs just shift the point of trust from the local network/ISP to the VPN provider, so the question becomes, can you trust the VPN company more or less than those local networks/ISPs?

This depends on quite a range of factors (e.g. what country you're in, what your personal risk profile is), so depending on the answers there, VPNs are more or less useful (from a security perspective).

I'd expect that a lot of VPN use these days is geo-shifting to get access to region locked content, and they're not a bad idea for that.

I REALLY like it. It feels great for a lot of reasons.

I like being able to detach from my gaming computer but still make progress on my RPG games. The device is very hacker friendly—- valve has done an amazing job creating something that is user friendly (versus user hostile e.g. Windows). The device is able to render good graphics without (much) slowdown. I like connecting it to my TV and using it like a console. I like knowing the games I buy for it are accessible on my PC. It’s great.

I don't know about the 2008 stuff but I found the site to be pretty broken, as in things clearly not working and the code blowing up. The design is very busy on desktop; I suspect your "clean design" is what you see on mobile. The desktop site is packed to the gills and every page has multiple things animating and bouncing at me. Let me make it clear--this site is busier than most, not cleaner.

On desktop, it's pretty easy to open one of the menus on the top and then have it fail to close. Since the site disables the scrollbars while a menu is open, it breaks the site until you figure out the magic spot to move the mouse to make the menu close again. The magic spot doesn't seem to be in the same place every time. Seems buggy. I spent most of my time on this site with one of the menus open, unable to scroll down and see beyond the first page.

The worst part? The links in the menus don't work. A peek in the source code suggests they are supposed to be links, but clicking them doesn't do anything because they're just <div>s (not real <a> links) and the click event handler simply calls preventDefault (QTools.js line 107). That finicky navbar nearly ruins the entire site. I'm almost entirely unable to navigate around. This site is, unfortunately, pretty broken on desktop Chrome. Test your site on desktop in addition to mobile.

I got the site to hit an explicit debugger breakpoint in Q.js line 10293 just by clicking around the top menu buttons. The author of that code didn't bother writing an exception handler, they just had it trigger the debugger.

I do find it offputting; the site definitely has the feel of "a programmer hacked this together without any input from a designer." The massive drop shadow from the embedded videos actually covers up some of the text on desktop. The font is VERY thin--make sure to check your site on Windows and not just macOS. More generally: hire a designer. Programmer designs stick out in a bad way, and users seeing a broken marketing site will assume the product is broken, too. I certainly do.
It's even better than that. They don't give any secret data to the service you are using.
When you get down to real-time OSs, jitter often becomes the only metric that actually matters, and raw throughput becomes a means to that end.

You could say HN has a decent web of trust, but it doesn't solve the info overload problem.

Think of how many links are not being clicked or read by anyone.

HN can show us the number everyday. If they say for every 100 links submitted only 1 is getting read. And month by month that 100 is growing to 1000 and 10000 why should/will ppl submit links? HN looks alive. But right now who knows what the number is so the submissions and traffic keep flowing and growing.

Scaling it up, when we talk about a dead networks, info exploding for no great reason, is something we need to track and think about more.
We probably need a better definition of which data is "public". Simply being accessible doesn't cut it. I can look out my window and straight into my neighbour's bathroom. Is that public information? Same goes for information on the internet. Sure, my neighbour could put up curtains (and I really wish he would), much like people could restrict access to web pages, but I don't think a lack of protection should automagically imply public access. Much less public access for the profit of some multi-billion dollar corporation.
Rapidly becomes similar to the Pi filesystem in that hunting the big dictionary for the best match for your sequence begins to eat any gains (especially with delta coding, which is needed to make the ratios realize potential).

The article mixes a few things together. It essentially describes the von Neumann bottleneck, a consequence of the literal way many traditional computer architectures interpreted Turing’s vision. The thrust of the article is to warn performance engineers to not confuse the OS scheduler view (of whether a CPU is available for more work) and the micro-architectural view (of whether you expect the CPU to retire more instructions for a given number of clock cycles).

In my experience on large ARM cores, the max IPC can be high, but programs that do useful work rarely achieve it. Scientific code intended for HPC makes good use of vector units or just superscalar processing, along with (manual) interleaving of compute and memory I/O. Other code, like most web browsers, can hit IPC=1, only after a ton of tuning. Both categories are important, but usually the pot of money is larger for the HPC code, or at least the optimization path is clearer.

In other words: the article is intended primarily for someone to understand when they might want a performance engineer and not just call it a day when they see full CPU scheduling utilization.

No, it's not true.

You can tell it's not true, because if MITM certs signed by trusted root CAs were being issued, they'd appear in Certificate Transparency logs.

Although mis-issued certificates have happened [1] it is very rare, and convincing a root CA to intentionally issue you such a certificate would be very, very far from trivial.

Do you think either of those facts affect the site in any way? I'll be honest, it just sounds like problematizing to me.
As a general rule with open source projects it basically depends on whether they had a contributor licence agreement.

Sourcegraph appear to have had one:

It includes a grant of copyright licence so I guess this is nailed down.

This entire thread is discussing a data protection authority’s decision which was based on the GDPR. It wasn’t a blog post arguing against GA due to concerns about Google or similar.

If GDPR is irrelevant to whatever you’re trying to say, I think you’re in the wrong thread.
The basic principles are simple: stuff goes in from the Sun and the inside of the Earth; stuff goes out through the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap stuff in the atmosphere, which results in the accumulation of stuff in the oceans and atmosphere. No need to delve into entropy and free energy here: the concept of heat is enough*.

The details are insanely complex and I would not claim to understand the beginning of it, though.

* the concept of heat is of course horrendous from a scientific point of view and we do use things like enthalpy and entropy in modern thermodynamics. But there’s a reason why heat is used in vulgarisation and introductions. It is intuitive and useful if you don’t dig too far, so perfect to explain things to laymen and 5 years olds.
