I run Linux every day on my desktop, in WSL2. I am not sure what distro it is, I wasn't curious about it, but I presume it's Ubuntu.
Yeah I suppose that's the exact point I try to make in the article - tailwind isn't promising to make you skilled or a good designer (neither is css). It's simply offering a simpler way to work with componentized css
Ask HN: How do Mastodon instances monetize?
To my understanding, Mastodon instances are simply VPS hosted web sites. And if they are successful, then they are high-traffic hosted websites.

In lieu of a VC-backed slush fund to throw as their cloud provider bill, how are popular Mastodon instances paying the bills?
But you need SSMS on a Windows client to manage it effectively. Unless you are doing everything cli, which is just not practical in the enterprise. Anyway, running it in Linux is pretty niche. Cool for show and tell, but you need balls of steel if you're going to try running even a small $100 million dollar business on it.
> Linux is on more computers both today and all of the computers ever made put together than any other OS

Depends on what and why Linux. Original dream/vision selling it was a libre OS developed in the Bazaar that will give user full control over their devices against the tyranny of the corporations. You can't with straight face claim that all the billions of phones and embedded devices represent that freedom.

As about kernel, it may be BSD, Linux or maybe even NT or Plan 9, it honestly doesn't matter.
Valve is already doing this. Their long-term goal is to be independent from Microsoft and Apple.
> 2. If Russian forces are pushed back to the pre-February 2022 borders (and/or even out of Crimea), then what? They can still lob artillery, missiles, and drones with impunity.

Counter battery fire is a thing. And Ukrainians have no problem to shoot into Russia itself. They will just say that it was Russian Freedom legion or Russian partisans. While everyone knows that it won't be true, nobody can also proof that they were Ukrainians. It is just use of Maskirovka against its inventor.

Drones and missiles are more difficult to intercept, but there must be somebody on the other side to control them and Ukraine is starting to adapt Mossad-like techniques to execute whoever is doing that. [0] is Captain of Russian submarine launching Kalibr missiles, shot dead yesterday.

Honestly, that a simple file sync service needs that kind of specs is bewildering to me.
It made me switch, anyway, recently - specifically another one of those "Oh, let's finish setting up your computer" (i.e., try to trick you into trying Edge again, probably, or set up a "Microsoft" account) with my only options being "Remind me later" or "OK" was the straw that broke the camel's back.

That said, I'm far from your typical desktop user. I'm vaguely Linux sysadmin adjacent, and I ran Linux as my primary OS for many years - until one day I noticed I was mostly booted into Windows for gaming and decided to reclaim that SSD space.

Gaming on Linux has come... leaps and bounds. It's actually extraordinary. Still many sharp edges, but the Steam Deck might in fact be the first spark of a revolution here. We'll see, I guess.
Recapping is mostly nonsense, there are however some devices out there with electrolytic caps that are known to leak. Some old Amiga and Macs have these issues for example.

From there it seems to have spread out into a "recap everything" craze that is just silly.
Like AB InBev, Danone, Auchan, Leroy Merlin, Decathlon (last three owned by the same French family, mind you).
> Mastodon instance operators are electing not to federate with other instances that federate with third party instances they dislike

If they want to end up alone disconnected from the rest of the network that’s their prerogative? Users of their instance should just bail.
The other one I've heard -- no idea how true it is -- is that the DPCIM bomblets that are inside these munitions are shaped charge & frag dual purpose ammunition which would be really really appropriate to drop one by one from a drone.

I built my own solution on top of Airtable and then built a startup around it: fintable.io

The advantage of using a general purpose no-code tool like Airtable is that all of the UI features of a database like views, filtering, groups, automations, API etc. come built-in for those who think like data-scientist/programmer, not an accountant.
>Autoregressive decoder inference is a severe bottleneck for Transformer models due to the memory bandwidth overhead from loading decoder weights and all attention keys and values at every decoding step (Shazeer, 2019; Pope et al., 2022; de Jong et al., 2022). The memory bandwidth from loading keys and values can be sharply reduced through multi-query attention (Shazeer, 2019), which uses
multiple query heads but single key and value heads.

Emphasis mine, source here [0]

FWIW the original MQA paper is called One Write head is all you need.

Here's the quote from that referencing multiple heads [1]

>We propose a variant called multi-query attention, where
the keys and values are shared across all of the different attention "heads", greatly reducing the size of
these tensors and hence the memory bandwidth requirements of incremental decoding. We verify experimentally that the resulting models can indeed be much faster to decode, and incur only minor quality degradation from the baseline.

Cluster munitions are very dangeorous to civilians, because they can lay unexploded in the ground for years, and, well, there are many of them.

The issue is, what is more dangerous to Ukrainian civilians over the next decade or two - unexploded munitions, which can hopefully be mostly recovered after the war, or the Russians, who rape, burn, pillage, kidnap and murder indiscriminately? Certainly they are happy to create ambiguity over whether they would blow up a nuclear plant.

Certainly given Russia is already covering the country with cluster munitions, I don't think it's unreasonable for Ukraine to use them, over their own territory. At the very least it's up to them.
Entropy does not drive the creation of life.

Life appears in spite of the 2nd law. The context in which it appears means that life orders its context, so 'feeds off' low entropy. But low entropy environment is not sufficient.

You must have pretty specific causal patterns in the 'primordial soup' for the system to self-organize into 'entropy accelerators' such as life.

Those patterns are feedback loops and heterarchy.
Binaural recording is not a substitute for spatial audio because humans don't all have identical head-related transfer functions, and because most people don't listen with their head strapped in place like in A Clockwork Orange.

You only have two ears, but the signal received at the eardrum depends on the interaction between the ear/head and the 3D sound field. The point of Dolby Atmos and similar techniques is to approximate this sound field so you hear a convincing illusion of sounds positioned in 3D space even when you move your ears.
> Nobody forces you to use those instances with policies on defederation you don't like.

If you don't want to be all alone, you shouldn't have to opt in to becoming a part of the hivemind. You can be contrarian or a minority or whatever without presenting a threat to the larger group. You don't have to agree in order to coexist meaningfully and peacefully.

Companies censor because it benefits the bottom line. Reddit moderators and the Fediverse have no excuse except perhaps that being lazy and aggressive with bans is the easiest policy to implement. Surely I hope that's the rationale and that it's not simply one of enjoying power over others.

Where are the censorship police in public parks and libraries, asking people to leave? These spaces are perfectly fine and nobody is being harmed in them. There's no reason our internet deserves special padded walls, memory holes, and horse blinders.

Remember that just twenty years ago, democrats and liberals were the protectors of free speech. The pendulum swung to the right (and it'll probably swing back left again).

Keep communication lanes open and be civil. If you want to block someone, do it yourself and don't make a big public deal over it. It's not good to win points by building platform- and infrastructure-level censorship tools. That's why this is so upsetting. Tools that "protect everyone" today might be turned against everyone tomorrow.

The more chances for people that disagree and don't see eye to interact non-confrontationally, the better. Banning and score keeping are not the way.
Not anymore. Last gen phones have enough performance to run webapps without a single loss in performance, look and feel compared to native apps.
Native apps will remain, but you see more and more SPAs wrapped in a hybrid app still maintaining a 'native'look.
Costs of developing webapps is dramatically lower. Although native knowledge is still required for Auth, billing, advertising and other required native stuff.
What was the issue about modules?
Debian or PopOS.
There are computing devices that are not mobile phones or laptops that also depend on encrypted connections. Usually these devices last a lot longer.

It does. I use PS to sync to a WebDAV server I rent. I set PS to auto-backup when I put my phone on the charger and when I arrive at home (whether you consider this "auto" is up to you). I have opened the app exactly 0 times in the last year, and my photo backup is up to date as of this morning. PS is a shining example of a simple, reliable app.
If their existence is predicated on the exploitation of gig workers they should go under. The general demand for food won't be impacted by that one bit. Either people will be willing to pay more for their fancy burger or demand will shift to other businesses that can afford to pay their people a living wage.

EDITED TO ADD: Something that isn't often mentioned in these discussions is that the existence of businesses predicated on exploiting labour is narrowing the space for businesses that would be willing and able to compensate their workers fairly. Delivery apps are pricing out sustainable business models if they are allowed to skirt labour regulations, just like the common practice of Amazon and other companies treating delivery drivers as independent contractors.
There is a mod for Skyrim where someone piped together multiple AI models. It goes like this: You speak into your microphone and ask a NPC something. This gets transcribed (voice to text) by Whisper AI. This transcript gets send to eg. GPT-4 with a pre-prompt engineered to give background, current information and the "personality" for the NPC you are talking to. The output of this gets piped back to a Text-to-Speech solution like eleven-labs with the original NPC voice.
I just want to say that this is a very weird but cool approach that I never would have thought of. Nice work!
IMO the real moat right now is expertise / smart teams and cash.
I already wrote the correct workflow in plain English.

Verifying that a semver change is correct is not the same as automatically generating the semver.

It's literally P vs NP.
Echo this. 100% recommendation. The app does what is says it does, and does so reliably.
The reality in many cases is that total cost per student has actually decreased; meanwhile, governmental funding of universities has flatlined for decades. If enrolment doubles and funding remains stable, there's only one solution: Increased tuition.

Easy access to loans may create large amounts of debt, but increased tuition fees are mostly -- though I admit my research isn't exhaustive -- a function of an effective decrease in governmental funding per student.
If you are running the machine anyway to do other tasks like backing up and running Jellyfish then it might be worth it.

How did you get to 150kg of CO2 per user? I'm going to assume you mean each person has one instance rather than sharing an instance like a family would. So thats 375Kwh per year, which works out as drawing 42W. That seems rather high to me.

I'm hoping to try and run this on my Pi4 which idles at under 1W. You could run on a Macbook M1 which only under heavy load conumes 42W, but I doubt this is going to need consistent heavy load: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

I have no idea how you're even supposed to legitimately decode Atmos from Apple Music. Does an Apple TV support Apple Music, and if so does it deliver multichannel sound over HDMI?

I've sought out some "Atmos" versions of popular music on Apple Music with my Mac, and listened with headphones through a good D/A converter, and the results are bad. Entire parts (background vocals, for example) are sometimes drastically suppressed and transients (like drum hits) are sometimes accompanied by extraneous sound. These artifacts vary widely by recording (although it's possible that they're often present but I only discern them on songs I know well).
> many people, myself included, get intimidated by using OpenSSL

Unsurprising. It is intimidating. I think a bit old fashioned in that sense. Once was a time when men were men because they could configure sendmail. All a bit silly really.

There are other alternatives. Too few, tho. It took me a week to work it all out using OpenSSL.
NASA Artemis program tests VIPER moon rover
Domain Squatting the NATO Summit
The OP was talking about uber eats and similar apps potentially shutting down in New York if delivery drivers have to be paid minimum wage. None of these apps currently have a sustainable business model if they have to treat their drivers as employees under the laws of the local jurisdiction. Maybe they will adjust their business model if forced to comply with the law. Or they will shut down. Either way is fine with me.

Most Americans Say TikTok Is US National Security Threat: Pew Survey
Look at the crapsite you copied this text from - it's spam garbage. Please be more discerning when you see 'facts' given online.
Yep, discovery is really the primary point. It's hard to discover new music now otherwise.
Atmos is a good thing IMO. Not so much for the technology itself though it seems OK, but rather for the fact that we are getting surround remixes of many albums which is a new way to hear them and a lot of fun; also less prone to "loudness wars" excessive compression in my experience.

Surround is better than stereo but much harder to set up right; I totally get that, but that doesn't make it bad. I have an absolutely compromised surround setup in my study with a soundbar that supports Atmos, sub and rear speakers, and I love it, even if yes, the bouncing sound off the ceiling thing doesn't seem to do much.

On headphones or earbuds it's some and some, really depends if you like the remix.
I just want to remind you that Mastodon has existed for about a decade, way longer than any of the Twitter stuff has been going on. Culturally it is the same as it always has been. Why would I as a server administrator have to change because new people are interested in our platform? If you join my server and don't like the experience, feel free to move to a different server or to start your own.
I can't launch a tactical nuke because somebody wronged me, but can create a disinformation campaign with the tools I have and optionally 2-3 smart, motivated individuals, for free.

Both can be equally devastating.

Or, if I want to go the extra mile, I can use the latter to create motivation for the utilization of the former. e.g. I may say that a country has WMDs, and maybe try to manufacture consent for destruction of these...

Oh, wait a minute...
> a license that disallows the use of certain MacOS libraries from being used outside of MacOS

It doesn’t make a big difference in practice, but is there such a clause in their license? I thought the limitation was on Apple hardware.

If so, you can build on Linux running on a Mac mini, for example.
Google is testing its medical AI chatbot at the Mayo Clinic
1. I asked my child how to write a quantum computer algorithm to square a number and they didn't know. It's amazing that anyone thinks children are worth anything at all. I immediately sold mine to be harvested for organs and I suggest everyone else do the same.

2. I looked in The Art of Computer Programming for a quantum computer algorithm to square a number and it didn't have one. If it's a CS textbook it obviously isn't a very good one. In fact it's amazing that anyone thinks Knuth is worth anything at all. I immediately threw my copies in the recycling.

In fact you can divide everything into the set of things which know how to square a number on a quantum computer (let's call that the set of valuable things) and everything else. Everything else can be discarded.
He actually thinks this stuff makes him cool. Ponder that.
Honestly, I know it's not cool, but OneDrive is my go to here. Syncs Photos to my server, which then copies them to a local (non cloud syncing) folder, which is then indexed with Picasa.

Works a treat and requires zero intervention, although is based on a) MS software and b) deprecated Google software, so may not work forever.

The list is INSANELY long.

Most multinationals seem to be operating on a "business as usual" principle in Russia.

If they all risk jail time, things will be different.

Also consider that any purchases of anything from Russia would now also be classified as sponsoring terrorism. So no more Gasprom gas :P
Housing policy is dead simple (not easy): build more homes.

The problem is, when you build more homes, the price of homes go down.

Great for people that want homes and people who are just joining the workforce. Not great for grandma and her retirement planning.

If you frame your housing policy around anything but building more, then housing is fundamentally zero sum. If it is zero sum, that means those couples with a children are being subsidized at the cost of that 20 year old new grad or people who earn minimum wage without a family. Those people look at their finances or their mental health and make decisions about their future. So if people new to the work force are subsidizing those with children you could be harming their mental health to the point where they don't want children.

Why would any sane person bring children into a world that is almost guaranteed to be worse for their children than it is for them? I wouldn't.

So from a systems thinking point of view, the only cogent housing policy is to build more homes.
That's what I thought at first but the comments here confused me by mixing in Docker everywhere.

PCI compliance among many other regulatory issues. You will be required to show that data is not only encrypted at rest but is encrypted through your entire transport chain regardless of any physical security. The threat model assumes that an attacker is able to temporarily access network resources undetected and can use simple sniffing tools to egress sensitive data. This will not be optional.
The stupid thing is people listen to Atmos stuff on terrible speakers. Like soundbars with upfiring speakers. Tiny, whimpy little drivers that are tuned to make it sound like you have "bass". It's a shame because if people just set up a decent stereo system it would blow those systems away.

Even if you have a decent system (that's going to cost thousands, a good room and modification of said room) the gains are tiny outside of a few gimmicky demos. In a home environment you really don't need anything more than front speakers. Surrounds do not add anything. Save your money and buy a bigger screen.
I assume they do not, like everything that is open

That is the biggest problem of our current internet , that nobody wants to solve
I have that SACD too, but the fact that they didn't ask Alan Parsons to do it seriously undermines its legitimacy. I mean... WTF?

I heard a rumor that there is in fact a Parsons-mastered surround mix in existence.
I'm just repeating arguments that physicists like David Deustch, Sean Carrol, David Wallace, Sabine Hossenfelder have made, because they sound like good arguments to me. Better than ignoring the issues you get with shut up and calculate. Maybe you should take the issue up with them? Perhaps you think throwing out the term antivaxer makes you smarter than Einstein, Schrodinger and Bell?

After reading this comment [0], I figured some tools may be more suited that ChatGPT, especially regarding development.

Do you use any tool, self hosted or not, to help you develop and code ?

If we weren’t meant to eat animals then why are they made of meat?

Seriously though, it’s your choice how you live your life, but there’s no escaping that humans are omnivores and should eat both plants and animals for proper nutrition. The problem is that a lot of human diets go to heavy on the animals. I know that you can replace animal protein in your diet with several plant based supplements, but that is far from ideal or natural.

Quantum Gravity 2023 – International Society for Quantum Gravity Live Stream
Even for small particles superposition can span arbitrarily large distances. I think it will be difficult for classical gravity to gloss over such distances. And the rationale is strange: information paradox is pure math unrelated to reality, it doesn't warrant a new theory.
Python libraries also make use of classes, magic methods, metaclasses and decorators.
