Oomph-wise, they claim a good 4x over what the Raspberry Pi 4/400 have. Note that rPi's is known to be anemic due to serious memory bandwidth bottlenecks, barely able to keep up with filling a 1080p screen.

Currently they do not support the specific variant used in JH7110, but they seem to both be variants of the same architecture.

JH7110 has the BXE-4-32MC1[0], whereas the driver currently supports the BXS-4-64-MC1[1].

No idea about compute, and AIUI openCL suport in mesa3d is still a disaster for all drivers.

I actually don’t hate the idea but it’s the rigid sticking to it that’s the dumb part. The rate limiting clusterfuck was such a perfect opportunity to go “OK everyone here’s a hundred invites valid for the next 48 hours go wild”. Still feels like a club since you have to get an invite and creates an impetus on users to get these invites sent out ASAP.

I actually figured that this was the strategy, but now that they let that golden moment pass them by I now realise that nobody there has any idea what the fuck they’re doing.

Guess Jack just wants it to be a haven for all the worst blue checkmark behaviour of Twitter, in which case I commend him for creating a containment website.
I'm not sure if it's concentrated in blood or not but as I understand it it's mostly protein bound which means it probably moves into and out of tissues easily but not out the kidneys or into stool.

https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/02/16/pfas-biology-blood-new-...

Someone else's already replied with the Australian fire fighter study which shows that blood levels fall with donation. If movement isn't free into and out of the "compartments" then it's possible end organ damage continues unabated even as blood levels dilute.

But it seems likely that donating does reduce concentrations in organs as the PFAS move back into blood.
Don't have the details, it was a fun fact they told me when I went downstairs there.
I take pride in striving to form my opinions based on verifiable facts as discovered by third party sources, such as via work done by the Asahi Linux team†.

If I were buying into marketing I would not even have asked the question above in hopes of getting a hard reference to these kinds of details.

† e.g the following tidbits:

> The SEP is designed to be mutually isolated from the main CPU (AP); neither can compromise the other.

> No runtime blobs are designed to have total system access (no ME, no PSP, no TrustZone, nothing of that sort). Almost all blobs are running behind IOMMUs or similar firewalls, with the sole exception of the GPU firmware*. All code running on the main CPUs is under the control of the OS.

> AS machines use a large number of auxiliary firmware blobs, each dedicated to a specific purpose and running on a separate CPU core. This is better than having a smaller number of kitchen sink blobs (like Intel ME), since each blob can only affect a particular subsystem (e.g. display, storage, camera), which makes it harder for multiple blobs to collude in order to compromise the user in a meaningful way. For example, the blob running inside the keyboard controller has no mechanism to communicate with the blob running on the WiFi card, and thus cannot implement a keylogger surreptitiously; the blob running on the display controller similarly has no way to communicate with the network, and thus can't implement a secret screen scraper.

> From a security perspective, these machines may possibly qualify as the most secure general purpose computers available to the public which support third-party OSes, in terms of resistance to attack by non-owners. This is, of course, predicated on some level of trust in Apple, but some level of trust in the manufacturer is required for any system (there is no way to prove the non-existence of hardware backdoors on any machine, so this is not as much of a sticking point as it might initially seem).

> *it's worth pointing out that this firmware is not particularly large, is shipped in plain text and even with some symbols, does not have any functionality to talk via questionable interfaces (network, etc.), and is optional and not running when the OS boots (the OS must explicitly start it)

Which is an entirely different league than, say, Intel ME which completely owns the machine at the design level.

I'm wondering what happy mediums might exist between the note-taking world, the wiki world, and the collaborative office document world.

Office-oriented tools like Nextcloud or Collabora seem to be oriented to classic Microsoft Word / Google Docs style documents... not as simple as Markdown or as web-friendly as a wiki page.

The note taking tools everyone's talking about don't seem to support collaborative editing. If they're file-based without a server, then you either have to lock the file for editing, or you have to always remember to sync first to avoid conflicts. Syncthing can't really handle that scenario very well.

Also, wikis usually aren't file-based... they require a database. Plus they don't seem to be as lovingly designed as the note-taking tools... they seem to have a very retro MediaWiki style.

Does anyone know of a self-hosted solution that checks all those boxes? File-based (perhaps aided by database driven indexing) with real collaborative editing, more web-oriented than Word-oriented?

Lithium is not the future of batteries. As far as I know, there is no law of physics saying we won't someday have 2000Wh/kg metal-free flow batteries or something.

Lithium is just what we have now, and because business and politics is incremental(I'm not exactly a fan of that trait) we can't just say "Lets build all the charging infrastructure for cars that don't exist yet, stockpile electric cars with no batteries, and switch all at once as soon as we invent the better nonlithium tech to put in them".

Sometimes I wonder how much we could get done if people really did think like that though.
For me, the biggest productivity boost is from work that is (1) boring or time consuming to do, but (2) easy to verify / QC. (3) Extra useful if it is something that can the code interpreter can unit test in place, and iterate the code until the test passes.

For example, I’ll show it some big nested json response, then ask: Please write a python helper function get_foo_and_bar(endpoint: str = “whatever”)->Dict[str, Any] that hits the endpoint with <parameters>, then pulls out the foo and bar, and converts bar to List[int]. Please write and run a test that verifies the retrieved values from the above response are foo=“baz” and bar=[6,9,2].

It might take it 2 or 3 tries to get right, but it will iterate on its own until it works. Same process as if I were writing but by hand, but the 2-3 iterations might take me a few minutes and only takes the model a few seconds.
it was one of those april fools jokes that a lot of people wish would be real.

These complaints are so cringe. This looks just a stupid as twitter. Complaining about twitter sucking and threads sucking is so weird. People seem to think highly of twitter more so than it ever was.
These days, I start wiht a hello, and inline with that, a call to not respond if the person is OOO or it's outside of work hours, a bit of context on the problem, several links to the relevant code/pipeline failure, a specific request for what I need to know, another request to actually answer my question and not solve another unrelated problem, an unrelated sportsball comment, and then finally, what I actually needed.

Then when they're online I can just re-paste that.

My Hypothesis

1. Passionate developers often swear more often when they feel safe to do so

2. Developers work better in a "safe environment" where they are not judged / forced to follow other guidelines by social or employment pressure.

And another point : those places where it's unsafe (often due to managerial micromanagement) are miserable places to work. That can drive away skilled developers or suppress them if they remain.

All this is assuming the research metric is real, though I'm not sure it is. If the metric for "code quality" is actually "precision following a coding standard" you'd have though that rigid adherence to procedure would lead to a higher score?
I agree. I also drive a volt and 98% of the time it's driven with the battery, but those 2% of the time where I need/want the engine (like a camping trip this past weekend), it's really great.

I don't every want a 100% electric car. We're a 1 car household so I really want the flexibility of going wherever without having to plan around the charger network.
Honestly, I think the wheat becomes chaff.

You might have an amazing product that solves a relevant security issue but Enterprise sales cycles and checkbox driven procurement force you to incorporate half baked features in order to capture the next fad.

Look at the XDR hype train 3 years ago, ZTNA 2 years ago, and the whole CNAPP/CASB/CSPM buzzword BS

Tbf, I am being a bit dramatic about it, but I feel the split persona sales cycles we're forced to deal with incentivizes checkbox driven development.
Hahaha. That’s a good one.
it's not possible currently
Just for reference, as someone who doesn't live rurally, the only point that a bicycle can't reasonably fulfill above is 8., and indeed, when I do need to move heavy belongings around (pretty rare), or take other people (not too often thankfully) I'll use a car.

Most of the journeys I take on my bike would take twice as long in a car, including time to find parking, walking to/from where car is parked etc., so a bike easily wins on 2.

But sure, on 4. it loses out in rainy/cold weather. Otherwise the physical pleasure of riding a bike far exceeds that of driving a car.

I'm curious why you come across so many crazy people riding bikes, or why your bike would smell so bad...

EDIT: on my commute to the office I managed to think of at least 4 other reasons people prefer driving over riding: prestige, safety, theft risk and restrictions around suitable clothing (particularly when there's a lack of end-of-trip facilities).
Is that why President Biden called for a federal investigation [0] into Musk's companies shortly after he bought Twitter and told the government censors to "pound sand?"

Keep in mind this was in response to a question from a Bloomberg "journalist" which basically laid out the premise that Musk might be a national security threat. Biden has been known to show up to press conferences with a "cheat sheet" listing which journalists to call for questions, and the verbatim text of the question that each will ask. [1]

I asked it to write some basic terraform:

- Make a VPC.
- Add an Instance.
- Abstract the region and AZ, into vars.

etc... every time I wanted to change the code, I asked the bot to do the refactor, and it did.

Overall, I'm impressed. It wasn't the most complicated thing, but it didn't dive off the deep end.
Actually, I just realized that I had provided a 'one-off' hack to a similarish situation here: https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/issues/1123#is...

Replace the `qn("w:ins")` in the example with `qn("w:hyperlink")` and that should hopefully work?
I have never understood why the pushed snaps so early and so hard as they have. Feature parity isn't always a necessity, but you'd think they would have made sure that Snap apps perform at least "ok".
Your friend is basically useful idiot. Yes you can tell him what I said here. As long as there are NO contractual bindings, his chance can be more of zero than going. If Japan is his intention, quit his job and look for others. Maybe dropping by Taiwan, Singapore, or HK first. My friend of 2 decade landed Japan job (internal transfer) by joining a local Asian bank with a branch in Japan. And never once they dangled to him "you could/will be going to Japan".
it's kind of interesting how increasingly frequently "stanford.edu" is finding its way into HN submissions, and did the increasing frequency start with the GPT-4 enthusiasm?

The left wing individuals responsible for the 10s of millions of deaths you're citing here sound more like Donald Trump in their rhetoric than any "leftist" rhetoric you'll find today in the USA. After all, it was Stalin who, like Trump, called the media the "enemy of the people"

“Stalin originated the concept ‘enemy of the people’. This term automatically made it unnecessary that the ideological errors of a man be proven,” Khrushchev said in his secret address to the Communist party’s inner circle.

“It made possible the use of the cruellest repression, against anyone who in any way disagreed with Stalin, against those who were only suspected of hostile intent, against those who had bad reputations.”

That's how the right behaves today, which is why the right is dangerous. Communism vs. capitalism doesn't mean a thing if the person in charge is a deranged, power-hungry, narcissistic dictator.

“Right to work” is a particular limit on unions, and California very much does not follow it.

I think if "hi" is causing problems, you have larger process issues. For instance, it sounds like you're overloaded and understaffed. The issue isn't with "hi", it's with running the machine at too high a pace to absorb even basic social interaction without derailing. That's a problem.
> I don’t understand any business who is building fine tuned models against closed models

Do you have any recommendations for good open models that businesses could use today?

From what I've seen in the space, I suspect businesses are building fine tuned models against closed models because those are the only viable models to build a business model on top of. The quality of open models isn't competitive.

I feel like something more subtle was at work too. Much of my Evernote uses were just clipping Web pages to save for later or organize and search later and at some point I no longer did that. Why not? Well, I can take a few guesses. I graduated from college, for one. But also, I started reading more things on mobile devices, which didn’t nicely integrate with the clipping tool. Probably I now spend more time on social media sites than reading articles on random sites. Maybe it just got to be less trendy and exciting. I don’t remember any particular change to Evernote that made me drift away from using it.

When it comes to pure “notes” I find either Google Keep or Apple Notes are good enough and work with less effort on my part so that’s where most of my scribbles go.

They exist in some cities, sure, but across wide swathes of the country, they are nowhere to be found. The craft is dead, and in its place we have industry and logistics.

Where I see 'real' bread for sale in the US, it is marketed as a luxury good for the affluent, and the price reflects this. I see this as scandalous - charging a premium for what I would consider ordinary 'natural' food.

What really pains me is that an ordinary loaf of industrial spongebread at Walmart costs the same as a very high quality (and heavier/denser) loaf of proper bread (such as a standard Mischbrot) at a bake shop in Germany. It's obscene given that labor and especially energy costs are considerably higher in Germany, so it isn't like comparing a US price to a dirt cheap low-wage country.

I have noticed that since the pandemic there seems to be a lot more interest in quality home baking in the US, but it seems that people are rediscovering fire in a vacuum without any real training or knowledge - because the traditional craft is dead.

I am growing a little spelt in the garden this year from organic seed sourced in Germany. If it works, I will save my new seed and try it on a larger scale next year.
Yep, and the sales cycles and personas we target force us into incorporating features or messaging due to checkboxes.

Not something more ambiguous like “nonPublished”?
I think I see your point, but it feels weird to see this form, to me.

To your point, I can see the opening tag as ( and the closing as ), but then that would lead to something more like:

(table
(tr
(td one
(td two
(td three
(tr
(td ...

Which really just highlights how odd it is to see the opening tags without the closing ones. Which probably goes a long way to explaining why I don't like it. :D

Probably more natural to have something like:

(html
table
tr
td "one"
td "two"
tr
td "...")

In this way, you could optionally have the closing tags of /td and such. Still looks very weird to me.
I wouuldn't join anything run by Zuckerberg. Don't forget, USA federal government agencies had staff full time working with Dorsey and Zuckerberg to restrict discussions and posts related to federal elections, the covid pandemic, and other matters. This is currently before for Senate committees and the courts. I recommend never doing anything which benefits those companies.
ChatGPT doesn't use the API. It uses the same underlying model with a bunch of added prompts (and possibly additional fine-tuning?) to add to make it conversational.

One would pay because what they get out of chatGPT provides value, of course. Keep in mind that the users of these 2 products can be (and in fact are) different — chatGPT is a lot friendlier (from a UX perspective) than using the API playground (or using the API itself).
I’m probably an optimization expert, and I would solve that problem completely differently.

On my computer, the initial C version runs at 389 MB / second. I haven’t tested the assembly versions, but if they deliver the same 6.2x speedup, would result in 2.4 GB/second here.

Here’s C++ version which for long buffers exceeds 24 GB/second on my computer: https://gist.github.com/Const-me/3ade77faad47f0fbb0538965ae7...
That’s 61x speedup compared to the original version, without any assembly, based on AVX2 intrinsics.
Code Interpreter is great for "quick and dirty" data analysis & visualizations. I've seen it struggle with larger datasets (not sure what the current limit is) but I can certainly see this sort of stuff replacing basic BI at organizations.

Microsoft is working on embedding this sort of stuff into what they call Fabric - which is essentially meant to be PowerBI on steroids. I know in the current preview, you can interact with data using a chat-like interface ("Show me our revenue for the last 12 months sorted by customer") .

If you dismiss Twitter so easily, it’s clear you don’t have much to add. It is (was?) a lot more than “journalists snarking about the news”. Customer service, influencers, sports fans arguing, companies microblogging, bots giving updates, comedians, musicians - these are just a few things I can think of that were on Twitter.

I may be wrong, but with Red Hat, IBM was buying all the enterprise customers, but there is not much to buy in Canonical. They seem to don't know where they want to move as a business.

Red Hat 2018 year result was $3B in revenue https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-repor...

I'm sorry to tell you, but it would fail. Being too fast would preclude creating attachment through the sunk costs required to run it. The ease of use would let users quickly determine that the software can't do what they want. The low attack surface would avoid necessitating widespread organizational buy in. And the zero false positive rate would mean that it wouldn't move the needle on any metrics.

FreeBSD is a great option on the server as well. Simple, stable, mature, and great documentation.
Is it really though? I feel like it’s allowing many clients to exist that otherwise wouldn’t ever get written.
The docs have c# examples, but the community by and large uses gdscript, it's the "default" language. Again, it's the same with Raylib, bindings have documentation but it's difficult to find anything using that language outside the docs.
