> Economic inequality cannot be explained by individual bad choices

A more appropriate hypothesis would be that economic inequality cannot be explained by individual bad choices *alone*.

Plenty of examples of poor decision making can lead to catastrophic permanent poverty. Drug/alcohol abuse, having children without the right finances, skipping school etc. are just some of the decisions that can directly explain economic inequality.

One of the original proposals for the Tunnel link included a road tunnel. The problem of coordination was one of the factors that pushed selection towards a rail-only solution.

Unlike cars, there is no distinct LHD/RHD split by nation for trains. French trains tend to run on the left on the up service[0] like British ones do, but Paris Métro runs on the right.

[0] except in Alsace, where they mimic German trains on the right
I'm personally happy about this whole situation. Not because I agree with RH at all, but because it will accelerate the decline of RHEL and the entire EL ecosystem and mean I have to support those distros less in the future. (In a DevOps capacity, I'm not a contributor.)

There is a lot of back and forth as to why RedHat is employing this footgun now. It comes down to them feeling, in part, that they are footing the development labor bill while rebuilders (Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux) reap the rewards and undercut them on support contracts. The other part is enterprises and SMB running thousands of CentOS/non-subscription EL variants and having a token number of RHEL subscriptions to use for support any time they get into trouble.

The real solution to the second problem is to explicitly forbid it within the RHEL support contracts and enforce that. You are either a RHEL shop or you are not. Make it a binary decision. This weird tactic of trying to kill off the customer alternatives is going to just kill off the EL ecosystem in the end. I know I abandoned the EL ecosystem entirely when CentOS Stream became the thing.
Yea, my eye twitched when I read that and I said to myself “so, who’s gonna tell him?” Glad to see this is the top comment. This is why we should not roll our own anything.
Large problem with social media ad targeting recommendations. They are completely unweighted.

What you think you are targeting : 'business owners researching startups and investing'.

And somehow your ads get pushed to 'people with interest in dogs' when you go with the recommendations.
Ehh, maybe, but I wouldn’t bet money on it. I think the biggest problem Huffman has is annoying the user base by shittifying the site for increased earnings. New reddit is god awful, and removing pleasant apps continues the trend.

I’m still able to use the site with minimal bullshit, but I see the wave coming.
I don't know what you're trying to say here, but it's at least clear that you've misread me.
Train your Large Language Models in BF16 over FP16
Turns out models trained in BF16 are much more quantizable to INT8 and INT4 over their FP16 counterparts but the paper doesn't delve much into the reason for this. Anyone has insights as to why this might be happening?
Total marketshare was estimated at 1.5% for Linux gaming.

The survey comes direct from Valve's Steam Survey. Potential bias aside the Steamdeck alone is estimated at 40%. Arch and Ubuntu ~8% each.

Is there any other trustworthy metric of all "Linux Gamers" out there? I'm curious how much using the Steam Client effects or tilts results towards systems that easily run Steam. Self selection at it's finest. My logic side knows that with only a 1.5% rounding error to the total "PC" gaming isn't market significant. I should be happy with the trend.

I own a Steamdeck. But it's like how my friends use their Nintendo systems. As an extension of my PC windows I was already personal project time with SteamOS and SteamLink. Point is, I wouldn't consider myself in the 1.5% even though I game wherever.
Or consider the fact that most of North America was under a thick sheet of ice only 10,000 years ago.
> Drug/alcohol abuse

Tons of rich and famous people are or were notorious drug/alcohol abusers.

College dropouts: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison...
This has been my experience with my Radeon RX 6750 XT and Manjaro. I didn't have to do anything and it just works. I use Steam/Proton to game and that just works as well.
Many ISPs have clauses in their TOS that prohibit running any server of any kind. So it may be the case that your ISP regularly runs sweeps to detect customers who are running servers, and this warning may be a side effect of that sweep.

I often used to poke holes in my firewall and run VPN or ssh servers that were discoverable using my dynamic DNS service. My ISP never got involved with that. Of course, that was a case of me running a server for my exclusive use, rather than some sort of public web or login server that would have randos sending traffic across my link.
Well I did driving school in the US. You had to do it unless you wanted to wait till you were 18 to drive. Lets see we discussed how liability vs comprehensive insurance worked, how stopping distances relate to speed, certain state specific laws that might get you a ticket for not knowing them, plus a lot of in car experience building comfort driving at highway speeds with an instructor, or how to parallel park and ace the maneuverability. Stuff like changing tires and very basic maintenance like checking fluid levels too. This was over a decade ago so they probably covered more that I can’t recall. I will say I am a head and shoulders better parallel parker than a lot of other adults I know. Some people are in their 30s and still do not know how to parallel park, give up, even have me do it with their own car sometimes.
No, its not logical because we don't spend most our time doing science experiments. We do spend most of our time fighting the elements to survive. If you are confined to a hemisphere at average latitude you will see 95 percentiles between 0 and 100F (i.e. we fix the endpoints to human sensory perception thats why 50F is not some unimaginable value) and if you are outside those values then beware. That is a much more useful scale for 99.9% of humans outside of science. If you are in science/engineering and fuck up the conversion then probably you should get out of science/engineering.
It’s funny, my father was quite dismissive of GUIs. He thought they were just toys, I don’t think he even used Windows until he was forced to around ‘98.

(the iPhone transformed him into the biggest Apple fan on the planet, somehow)
Seems trivial by simply showing a timeline of star ratings. I imagine Amazon is incentivized against such self-incrimination.
Not just a pin-hole camera. Later in the video he builds a multi-element lens too!
Can you give an example query and the page it should return?
Some animals have continuosly growing teeth. Maybe with the right chemicals that could be encouraged in humans too.
This is a really fun exercise, I recommend every programmer try it once. You can replace most of the tokenization code with re.Scanner[1], which also allows you to have strings without worrying about `code.split()` messing them up.

For #3, not that I agree but they commissioned several studies that showed the effect of fossil fuels on climate change and went to lengths to keep it a secret. Gov/state policy could have changed if that information was made public earlier.

I am surprised they didn't mention manipulation of research at unis.

I am using AMD Ryzen CPU because I don't need to use water-cooling, and I get a really decent performance out with 8 core/16 threads. Intel CPU runs way too hot, and I don't want to spend more money on AIO, when I don't need to. AMD CPU generally runs much cooler (except on the high-end and thread ripper stuff, but I don't have high-end).
The zero-knowledge attack of the year might just have happened
There is no information about the pricing after trying it for free. I never, ever invest time if I don't know what it costs. Maybe others feel that way, too.
What do you mean "skewing the results"?
I’ve had “Maryland Bridges” in mine for years (apparently longer than the bridges are typically expected to last (?)), so there are some of us adults around…

But sadly for me:

Once confirmed to have no ill effects on the human body, it will be aimed at treating children aged 2 to 6 who exhibit anodontia.
Is this a Tell HN with no comment and no source?
That's my take away too.

I tend to still buy intel for new desktop builds - I'm not really bottle necked on the cpu for most of my computing needs, so I prefer the built in gpu for ease of maintenance and the better power efficiency (particularly idling, where intel still tends to do better).

But my Deck means I'm showing up as AMD for most of my steam usage over the last few months.

---

To avoid just being anecdata - I went and looked up some numbers (on google, they might still be wrong). As best I can tell, Steam claims about 1.9 million monthly active users on linux (may - 2023). Steam also claims that sales of the deck surpassed 3 million total units in 2023.

So 50% of steam decks can end up buried in drawers somewhere and the steam deck would still be 70% of the active linux userbase.
ActivityPub has its deep origins in the feeds world.

Originally people were extending feeds with the Atom ActivityStreams Extensions, in XML, for richer data structures which contain the social activities of persons. The protocol PubSubHubbub (now WebSub) was used for some realtime updating of feed subscribers (Push-then-pull, instead of Pull). Mapping persons or rather their accounts to resources like feeds was the impetus for WebFinger. And for notifying comments or reactions to upstream feed producers there was the Salmon protocol. Together those formats and protocols morphed into the OStatus protocol.

With the rise of JSON and with lessons learned from OStatus and pump.io those specs morphed into ActivityPub today. The underlying ActivityStreams vocabulary is still the same, I think, but the mechanism for following and responding now uses dedicated out- and inboxes.

I think microblogging and other social network stuff and long-form blog posts are different content, best consumed differently. There is some overlap, of course, but articles do not need shoehorned in. Sometimes people simply undervalue the simple link from a microblog post to the longform article.
yep. nvidia was the only choice back then. I don't see how folks have forgoten that. But, now it's all AMD for me, because amd doesn't require a closed source driver or userspace. Apparently that will change in the next year or so though. It'll be interesting to see how the open nvidia stuff compares in the future.
>Not the point of the article, but this is a personal bugbear of mine - no it wasn't. Text-based communication is asynchronous.

That's irrelevant. They still get a notification to disturb them, they still can see it when looking at their phone, they can still be concerned about the content and how to respond later even if they don't answer, they can still be concerned about the content even if they don't read it, they could very well be waiting an important message at the time, they might have an experience with other people/ex-partners/etc pressuring them to answer immediately, and so on.

Technical terms like "asynchronous" don't mean anything to how people use a technology. Common social expectations do.
Four principles of object oriented programming [video]
According to entropy, and thermodynamics in general, I can't recommend enough the notes [0] of prof. Zhigang Suo of Harvard. It's a new way of presenting thermodynamics and I finally get it... contrary to when I took a thermo course at university.

[0]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Vi8s-azYq9auysBSK3SFSWZ...

Also prof. Suo puts entropy as the main character of the "play". The other concepts (temperature, etc.) are defined from entropy.
This is their pricing page and it does not clearly show the 10 licenses floor.

When you trust a company you expect them to show transparent and clear pricing, not one where you have to read the fine prints.

I just tried what you said and I do not have the same checkout page, but one that is more misleading
This is what people wanted. Red Hat wants to be paid for their modifications to GPL code, and they've gotten their wish. They can't override the conditions of the license, but they knew that when they started making contributions. There's no world in which Red Hat has their hands tied by a license they opt-in to using. Red Hat can sell their own OS and block redistribution if they want, just not with GPL code.

You can only characterize it as "a flaw in the FOSS model" if you consider these patches to be Red Hat's property. They can sell it for as much as they want, just never "own" it.

Walled gardens have existed much longer than that. But, so to speak, shooting someone at the country club doesn't give you the right to deny state police an investigation.
And almost without exception plainly harmful.
You can always say it isn't, just by saying you need higher accuracy than six weeks will provide.
I hold the opposite opinion to most of this.

Text messaging, yes is asynchronous - but you don't know what the settings of the persons device are. They could have forgotten or not have quite hours set and now it is very much a synchronous notification even if it's not synchronous communication.

Sending delayed - again things happen. I would rather send a delayed message when I am in full control of the situation rather than possibly not the next morning due to any chain of events from weather, traffic, family, etc.

I feel like this comes from my philosophy of even if individuals are correct, it doesn't mean they are kind. We live in a community with individuals and we should compromise and balance things where needed.

Even if people can make the "right choice" in a controlled setting with no stakes involved, that doesn't mean they can or want to make choices in the same manner when things are important, or it's their own life, or there are strong emotions, etc...

So how does the study address that?
Video description:

"Abstraction, Polymorphism, Inheritance and Encapsulation… Yikes! What the heck does all that mean and why should anyone care?

Programming is full of jargon. Object Oriented Programming takes jargon to a whole new level. But even so, that list of the “four fundamentals of object oriented programming” is missing something important. In this video, I explain what the four principles are. And I then explain why they are making a big deal out of something that is essentially quite simple."

Later in the video:

"I'd say polymorphism is probably a hundred dollar word for a 50 Cent idea. These days computer science teachers and writers have extended the meaning of polymorphism to such an extent that it's often hard to figure out what the heck they're trying to describe"
Same here. We had a VIC-20, which couldn't even display 80col. Then I got to go on a trip to the local uni over Xmas break and play with the first Macs. Everything changed. It was what computers were supposed to be, a kind of 2d VR where what you created could be printed IRL.

The next closest watershed moment to that would probably be getting to uni and being able to telnet around the world.

Then after that, probably getting to use an SGI Onyx to do "military grade" flight sims.

It cannot be understated what the Mac did to the computing industry. Yeah, the Star did it first, and the Mother of All Demos showed it off in 1968, but those things were never in people's living rooms. Thr Mac was.
Another surprising thing is that physicists have not yet succeeded in reducing the ordinary notion of cause and effect to fundamental physics. Carroll has also worked on this issue.
I don't use nom. I've tried using parser combinator libraries in the past but generally don't like them.

That said, I don't usually use regexes for this either. Instead, I just do things by hand.

So I'm probably not the right person to answer your question unfortunately. I just know that more than one person has asked for this style of use case to be supported in the regex crate. :-)
I think it comes off as more repulsive because we're not used to seeing those parts of the skull cut away, putting it in the uncanny valley. What helped me to not be as repulsed by it was realizing that those parts of the skull aren't meant to be "uncovered" to show the adult teeth in the first place.
One time while I was unemployed and actively seeking employment, I applied to a temp agency for clerical work, and I had put in my résumé that I knew Word, Excel, and that I typed 100wpm. So they called me in for an in-person interview, and they had some qualifying tests set up where I needed to demonstrate that Word/Excel knowledge, which I did readily. And then they said they wanted me to take a typing speed test: "we want to see what 100wpm looks like!" so I think they really, really disbelieved my claim, but I proved that one true as well, and then they rejected me and sent me away empty, because they said I probably wasn't a good fit for any of the jobs they had. Thanks.
Boy oh boy, HN loves their note-taking apps. I guarantee I'd hit the front page by just using the title "Show HN: Markdown note-taking app written in Rust."

More to the point, is there any reason you're hijacking the browser scrollbar (Windows 11, Brave) or is that a bug on my end? And to be completely honest here, the app looks completely uninspiring. It looks clinical (in a bad way) and lacks any sort of identity or playfulness. Also, word salad like "powering truly digital documents in a dedicated project workspace" gives me a ChatGPT vibe. "Truly digital" as opposed to.. "falsely digital?" Come on.

Maybe my experience is vastly different, but Nvidia just works. I have a laptop with 3080, a Threadripper with 2x3090 and an Intel with a 4090 and A6000 and it works without any fuss in Linux (I mostly use it for Deep Learning but sometimes gaming as well).
Disney reacted to a single law in a single state, not "campaign against a major party in the US". DeSantis represents, at best, Florida Republicans, not all Republicans in the US.
If you include mobile games on ARM64 the the number of Linux gamers is significantly higher than x86.
Pithy != profound. The intent was to get people to think about the fact that the word "energy" means different things in different contexts, and that the thing that actually has value is not energy but the absense of entropy.

This post doesnt seem frontpage worthy, but I'll join in on the google bashing whenever I have a chance.

The other day I tried to google search 4chan, imgur and reddit came up before 4chan. heck 4chan wasnt even on the first page...

On a similar note, they are trying their best to hide wikipedia, now I have to specifically mention wiki most of the time.

I have the best website for a specific thing, I do well in quite a few SEO searches. However, the generic term, (which I'm still the best in), I am nowhere to be found. Blogspam and lower quality advice are all over the first 2 pages. Heck, there is actually terrible advice in the first 2 pages, like dis/misinformation.

The other day I was searching something I knew existed, I knew the page, and google would not give me the page. Ended up typing in the website.

Whatever is going on at google is in the major red flag territory. We need to perma fork android, we need to get off chromimum, find an alternative to Pixel. We are near the end times of google, they are going to be AOL taking advantage of old people and those who refuse to change their ways.
Consider a sentence like "We will finish project x next week with 75% probability".

I'm not sure it is any more clear than "It is probable that we will finish project x next week".

The point estimate is of little value unless we know how it was made. In this case "Jim just came up with a number".

Instead of talking of probability, an estimate of the number of days/hours/tasks would seem more grounded and easier to come up with.

In this case I'd go for, "We will finish project x after we have completed four days worth of work".
The second is not a concern at all. If there is an odor of subscription abuse worth investigating, Red Hat’s Subscription Enforcment team will audit your systems. By signing the enterprise agreement you give them permission to do so whenever they want.
Yes, I definitely would want to use mmap() in my storage system. And would love to see the limitations that make this tricky addressed.

'Do not disturb' settings have been granular enough for awhile now, such that this is no longer a problem unless you want it to be.
IMO if you’re concerned about performance and yet are deploying databases this way — mmap should not even be on the radar.
My car has a setting with the lights where the brights are always on and theoretically auto dim when a car approaches. I never use it because brights lack peripheral view which is more important than straight on with a lighted road, but I wonder if a lot of people leave it on and the dimming setting just doesn’t work that well for real world conditions.
I'd say it's up to the individual whether they find something rude or not. It's not an objective truth, and it certainly varies between cultures. On top of that, different forms of communication have different conventions and practices. Slack is different from normal texts, which are different from emails, and so on, and they permeate your life to various degrees.
the positive/negative parasocial relationships people have with AMD and NVIDIA (respectively) borders on "splitting" in the personality-disorder sense. AMD represents everything wholesome and good about computing and nvidia represents everything bad and malicious about computing, to a lot of people. And when they see one of the brands they just have to hammer that post button to signal their virtue.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Mastodon isn't a blog platform, so that is unsurprising.
