You can see evidence of this genetic experimentation with crops in Moray, a set of terraces built at different altitude levels created by the Inca culture in the Andes mountains [0]. It is believed that the Incas would acclimatize crops to the high elevations of the Andes mountains in these terraces.

But which method would take longer? Heating five 55-gallon drums to 100C each, or boiling one barrel of water until the battery is dead?

Which is more efficient, time-wise?

> Google succeeded where Microsoft did not

Microsoft wasn't trying to control the web; they were trying to hobble it so that everyone kept on developing for win32. In retrospect, not a great strategy, but many companies try to kick the can down the road, and it often works, so I can't fault them too much.
Isn't this partially the fault of their employer and product owners - who like to keep the business stuff sandboxed to some degree?
Publishing an implementation of a proposed web specification is how all web standards are created or evolve. The same thing happens with WebGPU, WASM, and many before them. Usually with a prefix (ms-, moz-, webkit-,...) and/or locked behind a config setting before standardization.

What is different this time other than it being a feature that is considered user-hostile?

That's not to say we shouldn't oppose this feature, I just wouldn't be up in arms about an implementation existing.
Apple don't have enough web properties to force this sort of change.

Google can turn around tomorrow and say that no browser without WEI can access GMail, GMaps, GSheets, Photos etc; people will have to comply, effectively killing any browser that does not support the feature.

This is the problem with the Chromium monoculture. "We", as generic IT people and developers on HN, definitely have a responsibility for not deprecating this monoculture earlier. If you use Brave, you're guilty; if you use Ungoogled Chromium, you're guilty; if you use Safari, you're guilty. It's high time people start taking responsibility.
The ones you can apply for access to are the 0.9 weights, which have been available for a couple of weeks. Unless the SDXL 1.0 weights are also available by application somewhere that I'm unaware.
How well can you manage the temperature of a "burning" lithium car battery with unlimited water supplies? Can you easily keep it cool enough to not damage the floor or deck of the boat it is on? If you can, it seems like the long term solution would be two seawater pumps, hoses, and a barrier so you can erect an impromptu kiddy pool around the burning vehicle, and just flow constant seawater around it until you get to port or it stops being a problem.
They say absolutely yes:

SDXL 0.9 should be the state-of-the-art image generation model (in the open). It generates at 1024x1024 large resolution, with high coherency and good selection of styles out of box. It also has reasonable text-understanding comparing to other models.

That has been said, based on the configurations of these models, we are far from saturating what the best model can do. The problem is, FID is terrible metrics to evaluating these models so like LLM, we are a bit clueless about how to evaluate them now.
No, bluetooth is only used to let the network know that you are on the train. The big Swiss mobile carriers work in cooperation with the railway and will automatically use this attestation to basically give you free unlimited data for the duration you are on the train.
It disappoints me that DirectX remains one of the best GPU-compute solutions in practice right now. And Vulkan too I guess.

But it really is. That's the state of the market. The video game artists are GPU-programmers, they've hit DirectX11, DX12, and Vulkan with a wide variety of video games and have turned that ecosystem very stable.

-------------

DX11 is 32-bit only atomics, I don't think its a very serious solution in practice. 64-bit atomics (especially 64-bit CAS) is already very limiting compared to CPU-world where 128-bit CAS is needed to fix the obscure ABA-problem.

DX and Vulkan just have... so much API-crap you need to even get Hello World / SAXY up.

C++Amp was wonderful back in 2014, but it too is stuck in DirectX11 and therefore 32-bit atomic world. And it hasn't had an update since then. Microsoft really should have kept investing in C++Amp IMO.

-------------

ROCm is fine if you get the hardware and if it remains supported. But I think in practice, people expect support longer than what AMD is willing to give.
"Or, worse, you're demonstrating something "everybody knows" and you look like a naive fool."

That's one of the reasons I'm so keen on the TIL format - it gives you permission to write about tiny little things (things you just learned) without feeling like you need to be original or explain something groundbreaking and new.

I just published a tiny one about figuring out typing.Protocol in Python for example: https://til.simonwillison.net/python/protocols

I wrote more about that here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/6/what-to-blog-about/
The whole narrative about WEI "proving" you're a human is completely false (and I'd argue a ruse). It only proves you're using a sanctioned OS and browser binary. It does nothing to stop robots being wired-up to devices w/ emulated inputs.

In fact, WEI will make it easier to use a robot w/ a sanctioned software stack since, hey, it's a "human" per WEI.
Codewarrior for the win! I used to hate all the times I would mess up a pointer and my whole machine would freeze up.
If we're arguing about whether 4% global usage constitutes dead, then yes, it's truly dead and Mozilla is completely irrelevant. Even Microsoft is more important these days (again).
My build is close to this. I purchased everything new except the 3090s, and I paid about $3000.

I used Intel instead of AMD for the cpu, which pushed my prices higher... but I saved on the back side by skipping the NVLink Bridge.

Good to know I'm not missing much with out the Bridge, since I get about 13tok/s on Llama-65B 4 bit if I push all layers onto the GPU.
Lol You think people don’t look at y’all’s TC and ask the same? Or are y’all special?
It has gotten better, but it's still a factor. Relatively shortly after launch they switched all processing to only occur when plugged in vs. on battery, which helped from a consumption standpoint.

As far as pure performance I can't speak to it too much; I have a massively overpowered machine (M1 Max w/ 64 gb RAM) for my typical workload (meetings/email/docs) so I don't feel anything.
Huggingface + Transformers is and has been since at least 2018 the atlas holding up the rest of the NLP and pretty much all of the AI community.

It's not the correct reaction but it's a predictable reaction. Academia has some huge problems with how they measure success and how they police academic integrity. The incentives make this outcome likely.

The Atlas V has absolutely nothing to do with the launch delay.

The "brand new space vehicle" is the Starliner.

What's happened that you expect the general population to care about? It's hotter, a couple more storms or fires but not too many more.... You call it a catastrophe but the effect on the average persons like in this country is little to nothing.

Hmm. Looks like M2 growth can be seen as GDP growth + excessive money supply (inflation) then. That is, whenever M2 decouples from GDP, then it most likely will convert to inflation.

Superconductor news: What’s claimed, and how strong the evidence seems to be
For Gnome users, I really enjoy using Pop Shell (the window manager from Pop OS) as a tiling window manager. It doesn't exactly solve the problems with TWMs that this post discusses, but I often run into folks who don't know that you can use a lot of the bits from Pop OS in generic Gnome.

I made a video about how to set it up if anyone is curious. The series was aimed at beginners, so feel to hop around if you just want to see what it looks like.

Then what was the point of the comment you originally made that I responded to? It appeared to be sarcasm and saying that if management only offer $0.01 raise then get a job elsewhere. That sort of simplistic reasoning doesn’t work in all situations. Namely it doesn’t work if labor overall has very little pricing power for the cost of their services.

The sky isn’t always blue. Which is ironic given your response.
I agree, you haven't convincingly made the case that credit is more akin to drugs than a restaurant or a bra store (the 1:1000 statistic in particular is suspect), and it seems your entire point depends on that case being true.

Restaurants and bra stores, for example, also want to keep customers hooked. Does that make restaurants & bra stores predatory? Neither they nor credit card companies are forcing their customers to spend more than they can afford.
This reminds of a completely different joke about fishes, and getting caught:

I think modern SW is less thoughtful because it's easier to change and monitors have grown. Back in the day it was tough to make changes after the fact and screens were tiny. Screen real estate was more precious so you better put some thought into the layout. It's like- modern large screens create more wasteful bloated applications which need larger screens...

The new Outlook for example: I have the standard Windows but this also contains search? Below that I have Home, View, Help, and a hamburger menu? Below that I have the Outlook "ribbon" Then to sort my mail I have focused or other, we are now 4 "rows" deep in the shit now and each row wastes space. Since this is getting ridiculous they're starting to waste sidebar space as well by lining it with other apps. Stupid! Slack is even worse!

Have some vision! There seems to be no regard for where to stuff new features which is ironic since that's one of the stated reasons for all the telemetry.
Berger has a pretty good record with the estimated NETs. There have been several cases of him stating that a launch has been pushed back with a bunch of public pushback from others, only for him to turn out to have been pretty close.
Where are the ugly singers? Music is represented my a disproportionately high number of hot women (and less so men) with no room for others. There is obviously a standard other than musical quality in play.

Today, it's mostly true that everything is available. The music that reaches the masses, though, is defined by production over musical quality.

Would we even see or hear from Cass Elliot, Janis Joplin, or Patsy Cline today? Producers would choose someone other than Patsy Cline for Crazy and twist Willie Nelson's arm to make him a ghostwriter on the song so the hot, autotuned, woman could claim she wrote it herself.

There is more to it than just getting older.

> Does this sound like masked ADHD? I asked myself the same question. However, after cycling through numerous ADHD treatment protocols - from extensive therapies to high-dosage medications - my cognitive acuity remained unaltered, and there was no tangible progression. It felt akin to executing null operations in a code.

> Interestingly, the MD paradox points towards an unintended consequence of ADHD treatment - it could potentially amplify daydreaming, a peculiar side-effect I noticed while medicated with methylphenidate. In essence, ADHD medication might turbocharge MD.

This isn’t a paradox, and it doesn’t necessarily rule out ADHD as an underlying cause/exacerbating factor. Hyperfocus is a common ADHD symptom; said hyperfocus can be fixated on just about anything, yes even daydreaming; stimulants used to treat ADHD symptoms like lack of focus can reinforce unwanted hyperfocus, it’s an unfortunate side effect.

"An obvious misstep"... yeah, it doesn't look good from a certain PR point of view. But it could also be considered able-ist biggotry to judge Elon by the standards of someone without Asperger's, no?

It's also possible X/Twitter reached out to the handle holder who told them to pound sand so they exercised admin authority and he's telling a different story. Like so many things online the truth is difficult to discover but we all know how we feel about people and brands are willing to shoot from the lip without proof.

Every time I hear about another massive hack on Ethereum, I feel a little bit sad that I didn't specialize in software security. For many years there was huge amounts of free cash just sitting on a table waiting to be taken, a victimless crime (VCs and cryptobros are not victims, everyone is playing the same game).

I expect the low-hanging fruit has gone now. And setting up spearfishing attacks to scam teenagers out of their NFTs doesn't seem as noble (or as profitable).
It's also a common defense against some other actual circumstance going on that is too difficult to handle, as is pulling away from people in general.

Interestingly, as we move out, we often change the set of people we interact with. Healthier or not, it does change the stimulus and environment in meaningful ways.
That's a really good theory, but I'd suggest democratization as an alternate. Upvote/downvote metrics appended to every line of text invited cliquish behavior that optimized for non-monetized engagement. Giving people the ability to comment on anything turned every site into a bathroom wall.
Or in the way of whatever the opposite of that term is. After credits the cheapest Tesla is right around 35k.

Sorry, gendering isn't my strongest suit yet. However, it's much more manageable in English than it is in German.
Still doesn't matter much. How many times have you actually cared about atomics, even ignoring that the most common case by miles is 0 contention - for productivity you just get it right once and reuse the code.

Especially for the time, most code has been and is painfully single threaded, only really relenting quite recently.

Having an extremely strong memory model is also potentially a performance issue because the CPU is much more expensive for the same performance.
Same. Interesting that a broken link can get so many upvotes so quickly.
And limit your protesting to technical critiques about how the knife is made, not whether it should be in your stomach.
I've read other people say some cargo ships have been refusing to take EVs, there have been a few of these incidents in the last few years. If so, this looks like an incident that could make banning EVs on boats more common.
It’s almost like…several major scientific and political institutions spent the last 3 years destroying what little trust they had left, campaigning under the banner of “trust the science!” /s

The information war rages on both sides. But the fact remains that too much doomerism without any clear way for an individual to make a difference and politicians carrying on like normal leads to apathy. Our movies and TV are already saturated with barren hellscapes. Why confront the actual reality when you feel powerless to stop it, and doing anything necessarily means austerity?
If only it wasn't shaped like a freakin egg on wheels. As someone who is in the market for a new car, I would seriously consider this if it were like a real car I could feel good spending 26k on. (My last car was 6k used and it lasted me 10 years). This car is so tiny in real life not to mention that GM's current design philosophy makes their cars look like the toy that comes out of the bottom of a cereal box. You don't want to walk out of a dealership spending 26k only to feel like you bought something that doesn't truly make you happy. I could buy used but as with Tesla, who know what kind of repair nightmare these things will have post 100k miles. It would be less painful if the car was something I'd like to look at.

Why couldn't they just make this a real Model 3 competitor by making it their entry level sedan. Something normal like the Chevy Cruze EV would be quite appealing to me at that price. Instead it seemed like when they launched this car, they wanted to keep playing that game of pretending that they care while shipping another compliance-like car. I wish Ford shipped a Focus EV. That would be great as well. I don't understand why these companies have such crummy products in their portfolio.
Same for me, it's not only you
Seems like the discontinuation notice had to happen for certain sorts of dumb shareholder reasons because of the factory retooling and the subsequent hole in model years. (The last model year of the Bolt was 2023. The next model year is expected to be the 2026 Bolt. Oh no, there's no 2024 or 2025 Bolts!~) Some current (large) American car company shareholders (coughdealerscough) have gotten weirdly OCD that every active car model needs to hit every car model year. (Which is dumb for a whole lot of historic reasons and contributes to a lot of unnecessary year over year design change bloat/churn to just give excuses to bump model year numbers.)

Or fatigue. You can't continually hype total doom and "near catastrophes" lacking any sort of solution, and in some cases explicitly denying that there even could be a solution, for a decade and expect people to keep showing up to care.

This recent version of climate doomerism lacks all practicality and provides no solutions other than total tyranny of the state over the individual, for your own good, of course. It appears to me that the movement has been fully captured by politicians who are no longer interested in actual science or engineering of solutions.

Personally, I checked out about a year ago. As I suspect the people pushing this message the hardest don't actually want to work with me to improve the future, they just want to control my purchasing decisions.
"As for capacity, Samsung’s first GDDR7 chips are 16Gb, matching the existing density of today’s top GDDR6(X) chips. So memory capacities on final products will not be significantly different from today’s products, assuming identical memory bus widths. DRAM density growth as a whole has been slowing over the years due to scaling issues, and GDDR7 will not be immune to that."

Eh-- I think that 2-3 years of breathing room they bought-- and killing Netscape's "the browser is the operating system" dreams-- was probably worthwhile from their point of view.

In some ways OSM is more impressive than Wikipedia.

There’s a gravel path near my house that maybe sees 20 people using it daily. Due to some work done nearby, the path was partially moved a few meters to the side. OSM reflected this new reality the day after.
Depending on the granularity, all those actions (if not intents) could be tracked.

I've never really had feature requests acted on by a company before. Small one person software shops, yes, but companies? Never. I don't think their feature pipelines actually care what customers want.
Thanks for linking this, there's some good discussion at that link. The guide on how to track position information for good error messages without messing up incrementality is really helpful.
Atlas V is indeed an old launch vehicle. Starliner, however, is a brand-new (kinda) space vehicle. It still has to pass crewed validation.

Kinda new, because it has seen 2 flights, of which 1 a mission failure (failed to insert into target orbit due to software issues, several other issues identified hours before a potential hard mission failure), and the other an uncrewed test flight.
Without solid designers most software would be completely unusable to the majority of people.

It is really easy to get caught in the trap that YOU are the end-user, but a couple user interviews will quickly shatter that reality.
The 1985 version of Excel was Mac only. The 2003 version is about as closely related as iOS is to Mac System 7.
