As a consultant who jumps around between code bases with vastly different requirements, containers make for a much better experience than managing that on my main machine, or spinning up VMs for each separate project. It’s an ideal situation for me.

I'm sending 4k video from a moderately priced camera, sometimes to large conference rooms with a big screen and 4k projector.

For me personally Linux and UNIX are about having many options and a million ways to accomplish a thing so I think it's great that there are distributions free of systemd.

I used systemd for a while and while I was not happy about it being implemented without alternatives I tried to make the best of it. I liked the idea. I liked some of the capabilities, though runit and supervisord could have been improved to accommodate those capabilities.

It became even more bloated and took over too many functions for me and started making decisions that I felt were not appropriate for an init replacement so I personally just opted out of it. The integration with udev and binfmt started to appear as the same obfuscation and vulnerable designs that early versions of Windows and MacOS had. Rather than engineering the same mitigations that Windows and Mac required I decided it was time for systemd and I to part ways. Others can take on the tasks of re-implementing the lessons learned whereas I just want a computer that does as it is told with mostly predictable results and very minimal obfuscation so I can troubleshoot problems easier. I believe this comment will make more sense as time passes.
This page isn't accurate to their new upgraded infrastructure (mid-splits, DOCSIS 4.0) they've gradually been rolling out over the last year or so. Currently only available in certain areas and limited to their rented xFi modems, but it increases speeds to something like 50 down/50 up, 100~900 down/100 up, 1200~2000 down/200 up.

Edit: You can see these new speeds listed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast_Xfinity/wiki/knowledgebase/...

Does Costco do "business"? It buys merchandise from suppliers, sells to people. It's incorporated. Its shares are traded on the NASDAQ. Yes, evidently, it partakes in business.

Is it owned by the public (the state), or by private persons? Private persons.

It is a private business.
First question that comes to my mind: how many (exceptional) people are needed to accomplish the goal?
It’s 100% fine to be someone who doesn’t want to be asked randomly by coworkers, “How’s it going?”

It’s less fine to be that person and work somewhere where the culture values being asked randomly by coworkers, “How’s it going?” But it might be something you can live with.

It might be a conscious choice to trade off short-term productivity in favor of long-term balance. It might be a way to weed out anti-social people who they don’t want working there.
I don't know if it qualifies or not, but I recently discovered Hawkwind (circa 1970) and while it's not as lyrical as favoured prog bands, it has that "Oh, I really like this and it's only halfway through the 15 minute track".
Isn't that how market economies are supposed to work?

By default, consumers are their own best regulator. You buy only the bread that tastes good, and that shoes that fit, so the market will provide, etc.

It's a small step from there, to outsourcing part of that to a middle men like Costco. Costco benefits from their reputation with customers they got from those efforts.

Similar for product reviews on independent websites or magazines or even on Amazon.

It's only in exceptional circumstances that 'consumer regulators' can not be private entities.

And much of the time, we get lots of government regulation that could be done by private entities just fine or better. But to be honest, lots of that regulation is still 'good enough', so it doesn't do that much harm. Two examples to illustrate:

Germans like to eat raw minced pork. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett So there are rules in Germany that all pork sold has to be save to eat raw. In most other countries, people don't share that peculiar preference, so the government regulations on pork are less strict.

I hold that even in the absence of specific regulation, the German market would provide Germans with pork that's safe to eat raw. Companies would just put a little sticker on their meat that tells you, that it's safe to eat (and normal existing rules about truth in advertising would make sure the sticker is trustworthy).

The second example: thanks to harmonised EU rules you can put palm oil in your chocolate without loudly declaring it and still call it chocolate on the packaging. (You just have to mention the palm oil in the fine-print list of ingredients.) By and large, German customers don't like palm oil in their chocolate. So German supermarkets mostly only carry 'proper' chocolate. So we private companies regulating the German chocolate market, to give consumers what they want.
So because you don't have a use case for >250mbs down nobody has a use-case? I don't understand what your argument is.
To nitpick in addition to the already existing comments: this has nothing to do with GPUs per se. You would see the same issue in multithreaded code on a CPU. Even on a single core CPU this can happen with a multithreaded program depending on how the OS schedules and interrupts the threads. It just happens to be an implementation choice in a GPU library/API.
It's almost as if co-operative models of ownership were a vastly superior alternative to joint-stock enterprises :)

> I was thinking maybe I moved the printer and it is not level?

Unlike the inkjet where it shines a little LED through the cartridge (covering with black electrical tape makes it think it's always full), laser toner I think has an id chip on the cartridge and the printer just maintains an internal counter as to guess when it'll run out. Reset that, and make sure the option is turned off that stops it continuing to print once low (networked models have a webpage you can go to to turn these from stop to just warn).
What does the phrase "stamp out" mean in this context?
It's a stufy of self-reported subjective experience. "White men have an inflated self-image" or "White men feel more comfortable contributing in team environments [because they are socially dominant and get them their way]" is plenty "ideologically convenient".
"Acquiesce to"
That does work well for environments because typically you’d run exactly the same code, maybe with different cluster sizes or instance types, in each environment. But it doesn’t work well for isolating two services where the code is significantly or even entirely different.
I’m a former DDG user and current paying Kagi customer. One critical difference I’ve noticed is that frequently used bangs with DDG, but almost never with Kagi.

I think this is because over a very short period of usage, I applied block/lower/raise/pin to various domains, and now my search results are almost always perfect.

That said, I understand the value of going directly to a site. On that front, Kagi makes it trivial to define new bangs.
Small nit. You mean errors due to floating point math
Why did they publish it?
Once you obtain subject mastery you just need the read the abstracts.

To get a cold start look for a “survey”, “literature review”, or “systematization of knowledge” papers. Those organize a lot of papers, check out the ones that look cool and read the abstracts.

Rinse and repeat for five years and you get a phd.

(A) It’s a metal garage that has some industrial equipment in it. There’s literally a motorcycle parked in it.

(B) The Koreans will rightly get their Nobel if this pans out. But what McCalip has done could never happen in a place like, say, Europe. The people there just don’t have the fortitude (those that do come here!) for this kind of thing. America is rich with ambition and creating the future. Other places had their time and are just fossilized remains now. But fun to tour, especially when the people there dress up like their glorious ancestors that made them famous did. It’s fun to look at the past sometimes (but obviously not live in it!).
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

The domains in question lead to guaranteed uninteresting and routine political bickering where each side is compelled to recite their talking points. It has nothing to do with the reporting and everything to do with how people comment on those topics. I'd be guilty of it too if I weren't busy flagging those posts.
> The comments are always full of hostile and vitriolic remarks by people who are personally offended if the video suggests the cup holders on a Model 3 are less than perfection. For some reason, Tesla is surrounded by a cult of personality where it's not just a car, it's a lifestyle.

You’re doing the same thing they’re doing. Talking about what a small vocal minority does and then declaring it as representative of a majority. For every person doing as you describe there’s a similar number of people who make it their life mission to attack anything related to Tesla.
No point in doing this unless the prints themselves are fading out. Doing it with a full aftermarket cartridge is just asking for a mess.
As far as I can tell this article doesn't explain why this happens on the GPU (for example, why Tensorflow's reduce_sum is non-deterministic). My hypothesis is that this is entirely due to concurrency: if the same code can be run in two or more different interleavings, they can produce different results. This is corroborated by the first answer here [0].

If so, this exact same issue happens in CPU code as well: have two or more threads, run the program many times, observe different interleavings that expose race conditions which (depending on the algorithm) may or may not produce different results. This can happen even if you don't use floating point, and has nothing to do with floating point non-determinism itself. For example, have a thread print "Hello" and another thread print "World"; even without tearing, you may see either Hello World or World Hello on the screen.

Now, proper floating point non-determinism happens in two cases. One is that when you run the same code in two different architectures you could have different answers (because of rounding modes, or because some architecture doesn't support subnormal numbers or signaling nans, because transcedental functions like sine are implemented with different accuracy, etc). In this case it's deterministic when run the same in the same machine, but may run differently in another machine with a different architecture.

The other case is that some "optimizations" actually break your code if applied carelessly (you enable those broken optimizations with -ffast-math in C for example). Among other things, this may break numerical stability of algorithms like Kahan summation. And, if you let the compiler decide which exact optimizations will be applied and in what order, you get non-determinism between different compilers. So in this case it's deterministic when compiled with the same compiler, but may run differently with another compiler.

As someone who migrated our devs from local VMs to cloud VMs, I like it because despite the promise that every VM is the same, every dev laptop is not. There's so many ways for Vagrant and VirtualBox to screw up. Sure, the cloud VM is a little slower than local, but at least it fundamentally _works_, unlike VirtualBox where on any given day you might be suffering from any combination of 1) VirtualBox kexts not working on the latest version of MacOS, 2) file sharing silently breaking yet again with no logs, 3) docker containers inside the VM losing network connectivity for the third time this week because the bridge decided it didn't want to do anything, or 4) having VirtualBox installed just completely breaking MacOS and causing a crash during boot even after completely wiping, reloading, and trying to install VirtualBox again. Those are all real issues I spent weeks tearing my hair out over across dozens of devs. Now that we've moved to EC2-based VMs the only problems I have to deal with are minikube problems (which I had to deal with under VirtualBox as well) and when devs forgot they shut down their VM before going on vacation. The devs sometimes don't like that the default EBS volume is a little small, but every one that used the local VM knows it's a small price to pay

I never said that it did?

I'm saying that "unlimited free shit" [0] is seemingly a direct side effect of software freedom, as the FSF has defined software freedom.

I actually then went on to say that it would indeed be interesting to see a slightly less libre license that didn't anchor the use-instance price to within an epsilon of the distribution cost. So I don't really know what you're trying to argue with here.

[0] actually: widespread use of libre licensed software that has been distributed to others at arm's length

It seems not only he noted that since the very beginning but has always been vocal about it. There is a clip in YouTube from VH1 where he talks with Tony Levin (it seemed to be around the time they were in the 80's reincarnation of King Crimson) and they briefly discuss it, he acknowledges that women tended to go more even to his shows with his jazz band Earthworks - but for some weird reason they weren't present on King Crimson shoes. Even (if I recall correctly) at the end he asks woman viewers to go to their shows.

From my humble corner I can say I've heard of just a girl, _only one_ girl who said she liked prog rock.

That's what it looks like. Another article quotes the Voyager project manager [0]:

> "The Deep Space Network used the highest-power transmitter to send the command (the 100-kw S-band uplink from the Canberra site) and timed it to be sent during the best conditions during the antenna tracking pass in order to maximize possible receipt of the command by the spacecraft," Voyager project manager Suzanne Dodd told AFP.

This is a great explanation of why districts themselves are bad. We need proportional representation with either no districts at all or large multi-member districts.
Example clanky bit: memory ownership rules.

There are lots of systems where memory changes hands. Game programming, for example. You allocate a big chunk of memory, you put some stuff in it, you hand it off to the graphics card, and some amount of time later the graphics card hands it back to you.

Rust gets VERY cranky about this. You wind up writing a lot of unsafe code that is very difficult to make jibe with the expectations of the Rust compiler. It's, in fact, MUCH harder than writing straight C.

Example clanky bit: slab allocation

You often don't really care about deallocation of objects in slabs in video games because everything gets wiped on every frame. You'd rather just keep pushing forward since you know the whole block gets wiped 16 milliseconds from now. Avoiding drop semantics takes (generaly unsafe) code and work.

In my opinion, the police’s complaint about how they were treated is a self-inflicted issue. A completely different person handing out diapers could have illicit the same response.

The single biggest deficiency of Kagi is Apple’s exclusive control over the list of selectable default search providers in iOS Safari.

It is infuriating and is the one thing that has caused me to seriously try other browsers on mobile. The problem is, they are all terrible in some small paper cutting ways (including Orion, though that has been rapidly improving).
I'm not sure that would actually make much of a difference in this case.

Eg the investment manager Vanguard has a very curious ownership structure:

> Vanguard is owned by the funds managed by the company and is therefore owned by its customers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vanguard_Group

So Vanguard is in some real sense a co-op, even if that's not the legal official form of the company.

See https://investor.vanguard.com/investor-resources-education/n... for more on the matter. (But keep in mind that it's advertisement by Vanguard about itself. So take it with a grain of salt.)

I like prog-rock as much as anyone can like a genre; there's a lot that I don't like, but I generally like the reason behind what they're doing it trying to do.

I like complicated music. I like music that I can listen to more than a few times to concentrate on different parts each listen and get something new from. I like the "cognitive load" of prog-rock. Pretty much the same reasons I like psychedelic, avant-garde, experimental, math-rock, jazz, funk, world, classical.

I don't like boring music; a song that sounds like it should be a subset of another song. But then sometimes I do like a boring song if the instrument/effect is unusual or if the melody is particularly nerve-tickling.

I want to write more about the ephemerality of "like" and it's relationship to familiarity, but also laziness, and the too-high-level abstraction of genres to define and describe something as complex as music and the ridiculous over simplification of "I (don't) like <musical genre>" and such statements as proxies for self identity, but I've got other things I need to do.

Lastly, I do want to call out the band Cleft, who brought prog-rock into a more modern, ADHD-friendly format with their self-defined turbo-prog: "We made horrible instrumental music using a guitar and some drums. Imagine a machine that compresses 14 minute songs down to 3 minutes". Give "Alec Baldwin's Hair" and "Me, Sugar" a listen as introduction - if you don't like them, you need go no further.

My landlord and I noticed that leaves were falling early this year on a walnut tree and another tree I simply can't really figure out what kind it is. I'm not great at identifying all trees. But the sky has been different recently and I've seen a few pictures of an strong orange haze in NYC. This was blamed on fires in Canada.

I thought more about this and I am wondering if there is a localized atmospheric redshift causing plants to mature faster than normal. Just like a grow farm switching to longer wave light to flower bud.
