I mean I actually watch Russian propaganda, as well as various other propaganda sources. It's rather clear what they're doing, and fully consistent with citizen behavior. Remember how just a few days ago Wagner took control of a 1M city, and citizens didn't care whatsoever?

The same patterns can be observed in the West, but to a much weaker degree. BTW, I'm not American in case this matters.

One way to explain it is that institutions (universities, courts of law, scientific research, parliaments) are not trusted by some (growing) number of people here. In Russia nobody believes in any institutions whatsoever, for example if the FSB rackets your business and takes over your apartment, well that's just part of life (complete lack of belief in any justice system). Like they won't even try to resist in any way.

Another way to explain the difference: there is no there there in modern Russian propaganda. It comes from absolutely nothing, no consistent philosophical system, no consistent policy, be it foreign or domestic, no consistent support or rejection of particular people or organizations. Should they lose the war then propaganda will just say that Ukraine is now denazified (if this term lasts that long), and will pretend like nothing bad happened, while on the next day will scream about how NATO is trying to kill Russia, then on the third day will pretend the topic doesn't exist, and so on and so on, without any pattern or rhythm.
To be fair, might absolutely does make right in international politics still. The only reason we are even talking about Ukraine is that the Russian 3-day invasion totally failed and open up the opportunity for the west to sanction them and support Ukraine.

It weren't for that fact, the ability for countries like Germany to trade oil with Russia still would have totally overridden any possibility of sanctions.

And the West very frequently does not get involved in areas where terrible things are happening so long as those areas aren't really in their interests.

Which doesn't justify Russia in any form shape or way. Personally, because it's individuals we aren't involved in international politics and we are still perfectly valid in criticizing Russia for being hilariously evil.

And because in the world of might makes right, Russia is also losing.

So it doesn't really matter. Any Russian who tries to make this argument might be correct in calling out hypocrisy, but their weak and stagnant nation lacks the might to make the right.
It's not due to apathy, it's due to economics. Emotions or willpower don't factor in here at all, just pure costs.

The alternative is to raise taxes or tariffs to pay for keeping unneeded production lines active, which means hardworking Americans in the rest of the country take home or keep less money. Which might sometimes be the right tradeoff for national security, but you only ever really know in hindsight.

The side effects of incompatible code are similar to the side effects of incompatible medication. Thanks to the identified undesirable effects, you usually identify the problem and resolve the issue with other resources. Occasionally the problem is more severe or persists unidentified. We should definitely be working to minimize these effects and prevent them where possible, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying/utilizing medicine. These are honestly just all the same arguments used against Wikipedia.
software that doesn't function at all is 100% secure and has other consequences too.

Thus, is it more or less important that the software functions or that it is free of all security issues?

If there was a condition that your UI became a different shade of grey in your web browser: you wouldnt buy a domain, create a catchy name, generate a logo and scream from the rooftops.

He is just saying: there are important security bugs, there are important functional bugs- they are equally important.

Insignificant security bugs are not more important than deadlocks; which if you were depending on the kernel for a life critical system could kill you.
I came here from Apollo today. I think I’ll be happier having a news feed without all the ridiculous stuff. Hopefully the community is decent.

Edit: I will genuinely miss Apollo, but it was what made reddit useable for me. It was one of those rare pieces of software that was so elegant that at a first glance you would assume it was only a few hundred lines of code. That kind of elegance is rare and beautiful. It belongs in some sort of software hall of fame.
Allow me to add.

“If you need someone who can hit the ground running…” then you need to have documented the crazy decisions that led to the awkward implementation that is your product. I have yet to meet a company who is using standard, recommended, tried-n-tested, well-known solutions to typical problems. Unless you write docs or stick to standards, no outsider has the context to “hit the ground running.”
The calls say something like "I, a homeowner, have an armed intruder actively threatening me. Please come save my life." They are not "a criminal has broken into an empty house across the street". The phone company reports that, yes, it is the homeowner making the call.
My experience has been the complete opposite, as a junior you are less picky and pretty much every role hits your requirements so you apply for a couple jobs and get offered most of them.

As a senior, you have to apply for lots of jobs because most the jobs you apply for won't hit the requirements (for example, salary). For reference, I have 15+ years of experience so I'm fairly senior for the industry.

The last time I thought about getting a stable job I got quite a few interviews but most of them were offering £100 to £120k which I consider fairly low (I was making that in 2014...)

It's honestly quite a waste of time, I don't know how much different it is across the pond but I imagine it's easier over there, considering the kind of comments you read on HN and such

Show HN: A free online token counter to optimize GPT-4 cost and speed
Implements the GPT-4 & GPT-3.5 tokenizer in Wasm. OpenAI has one online for GPT-3, but that uses a different token set. I kept using tiktoken in a REPL but this is more ergonomic. Helps optimize cost & response latency (which is ~linear w/ output token count). Also added some of the more counter-intuitive / interesting findings at the bottom!
To be honest, i'm impatient and stubborn. When most people explain me things take so long I rather read or google it. Talking is slow, and people take a long time to get to the point.

Often the process of formulating the question by writing it down or talking about leads me to understand the problem and either know where to find the answer or often know the answer. On theoretical matters I hardly ever had a question that wasn't answered properly by someone online or in a book.

The parent wasn’t talking narrowly about keeping defense supply chains maintained (although that’s probably a good idea) but about maintaining our manufacturing industry in general so we have the equipment and experience to build. This requires a policy shift, but an eminently sensible one for reasons besides military policy: we (the US) should reduce our dependence on a reliably oppressive dictatorship (particularly with respect to critical supply chains like defense) and bring those jobs and ingenuity back home (or at least to friendly shores).

To wit, middle class Americans would bring home more money (although not so much for the American managerial class, which has enriched itself by outsourcing American middle class jobs), but there would be less cheap, disposable plastic junk on our shelves—things would cost more but they would last longer and we would repair our goods rather than disposing of them.

Apart from reasons of global and national security, economy, etc, why should we allow products on American markets that were made with labor and environmental conditions that we would never tolerate here? Why should we be complicit?

From Don's "Incredible Secret Money Machine":

a Final thought

Many years ago, I was attending a folk concert. The opening act was a single and an unknown flute player, performing in front of the closed stage curtains. His job was to warm up the audience for the high priced help that was soon to follow. He was good. Very good. But as he went along, the music started getting strange and finally downright weird. He was playing chords on his flute, along with notes with unbelievably strong tonal structures. Eventually, the music turned into bunches of Impossible sounding and god-awful squawks. Almost all of the audience got bored and restless as the music seemed to deteriorate. Just then, I happened to notice a friend beside me who had played in and had taught concert band. He was literally on the edge of his chair with his mouth open. He briefly turned to me and said very slowly, ''You can't do that with a flute. It is not possible." Of the thousands of people in the audience, at the most only five realized they were now witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime performance involving the absolute mastery of a very difficult musical instrument. To nearly everyone else, It sounded like a bunch of god-awful squawks. Always play for those five.

It's always the same comment: X is different from A, therefore X is not a good replacement for A.

The whole point of federation is to avoid the problems we're seeing with Facebook, with Instagram, with Reddit, with Twitter: control over your internet content. Not having a mega-corp bent on maximizing profits and using you as a milking cow, but instead have a say and have actual power in how communities are built and managed. It is 100% expected that Lemmy or KBin is different from Reddit. You say that's not a good user experience, but I challenge that assertion: I say it's not a bad UX, but it's a different UX, and you don't want to change. Well, if you don't want to change, stay on Reddit, that's not a problem. But if you're going to investigate what the fediverse is, please learn what it's about, how it's built. Don't expect to find the same old world you know, that's on purpose !

> It makes no sense to me at all

You're on HN, a forum where members pride themselves in being intelligent enough to dig around, learn by themselves, be different, hack around. You haven't made efforts understanding how the fediverse works, or why it's different, and your conclusion is _not_ that you should investigate, but that you should complain that it's too different. I don't understand this reasoning.

I think an issue in the mentality in this forum is that people mostly expect products, ie a package that is made by an entity and that is served to users. The package is expected to be complete, shiny, wonderful, the entity is expected to do whatever it takes to convince users. It's an asymmetry that is completely opposite to the whole concept of being a hacker, which is supposed to be the H of HN.

Here's a good post explaining what the fediverse is about: https://medium.com/@VirtualAdept/a-friendly-introduction-to-...

I love solvespace. I basically only use solvespace now.

It’s very lightweight and minimalistic, but it’s not the easiest to use and very bare bones. I often have to find new ways of building things to account for the lack of functions, such as filleting an edge. In a way it’s a good thing because it’s hard to over complicate a design with unnecessary features, which I tend to do, but my designs in solvespace aren’t as nice or pretty and everything takes longer than inventor or fusion, but it takes half a second to boot up, I love the UI, and I really don’t need a complicated CAD tool for the vast majority of my projects.

The other caveat is that like any FOSS CAD tool it’s not totally stable and certain actions may get you into a bad state and possibly crash the program, but eventually you get used to it and can work around them (so far as I’ve seen).

If you’re just doing simple hobby projects, I’d say it’s worth trying out but it does take a little time to get used to. For professional endeavors it’s probably not gonna do the job.

So the answer is no, it can't be used with kernels that use cublas or cudnn, which excludes almost all ML use-cases.

Oh? America spent 20 trillion of tax payers money, killed hundreds of thousands of citizens in the Middle East, displaced tens of millions, killed millions more through sanctions, secured Iraq and Afghanistan's oil fields within weeks of invasion, created black sites all over the world to torture people without trial, murdered Reuters journalists in cold blood, tortured whistleblowers who provided proof of the above, and managed to blame the state of Afghanistan on the Afghani people after they botched the withdrawal.

And if you bring this up in comparison to what Russia has done (which is bad, yes), you're accused of whataboutism.

That's propaganda baby.

If taxes are raised then yes hardworking Americans in the rest of the country take home or keep less money.

If tariffs are raised then it's not hardworking Americans that take home or keep less money. It's people who import things that can and should be built locally instead.

Better to keep the money in the USA instead of sending it overseas; better to pay Americans to build the things instead of paying people who are already rich to get richer.

If Ukraine fights off Russia, then the chances of Russia invading a NATO country would fall to almost zero. It would also substantially reduce the chances that China invades Taiwan. Those would both be very expensive to the US. Much cheaper just to give Ukraine weapons.

It is even more complex than that. As it already happens, word of mouth can also be hijacked by advertising resulting MLM pyramid schemes.

To bring about such a world we need more than just banning advertising, we need to make it a socially repulsive behaviour.
