Pinterest was certainly the first site I blocked.

I've never understood the hate for w3schools. No, it's not MDN, but it's not offensively bad either, and it's been a helpful reference from time to time. If w3schools comes up first in a search, I trust that it probably has the answer to whatever very simple question I must have asked, unlike something like Pinterest, which will just be spam no matter what.

Ah I see you've met the Apple community.
If you know that you're possibly keeping the code, you do things in a "proper" way, which means moving slower. Put in all the exception handlers, all the log statements. Structure the code nicely, refactor things while you're in there, modularize them properly. After all, it's going to be reused.

This is where it all comes from. You don’t have to throw away code if it doesn’t need refactoring, modularization and so on to satisfy that “reuse” mantra from the beginning. Healthy reuse comes in two flavors:

- a copy of the code

- a separate well-maintained, versioned and documented library

Anything reuse-focused in between is mostly snakeoil not worth drinking and is often the reason why your code has so many intricacies in it that you have to perform “recon missions” before actual coding or estimating. You’ve built a dozen of poorly-documented ad hoc libraries into your project. There’s no surprise it may require a proper source code expedition to detect and recrystallize parts that a new requirement shattered this time.
Lol given that it fizzled out… seems weird to me what you’re building?

To answer your question — many years
1) Tenants are required to use building wifi? Nobody can choose to use cable/dsl and run their own wifi AP?

2) Eventually some sneaky TV vendor is doing to work out a deal with a cell phone network to periodically run cell phones in wifi AP mode so they can retrieve telemetry from TVs that aren't connected to the internet. You could even wait for the phone to be connected to a charger, if you wanted to be nice and not drain the battery.

Chrome has recently started really driving folks to upstream their drivers to Linux.

But many of these Chromebooks are from a before-time, when it was more traditional vendor development models.

Aka a huge gnarly vendor ask code drop. That may or may not matter be replaced by a other similar or quite different code drop. This is how wireless routers mostly exist today. Most embedded devices. Alas. Because it's utterly unsupportable over time. There's huge piles of hacks to get Chrome, the thing running the OS, going. And the new platform sdk changes everything around and introduced new issues and it's just a mess.

Now though, two things are happening. A lot a lot a lot more devices have Linux kernel mainstream support. So the kernel should support these devices basically forever-more, which is a huge change.

ChromeOS is also a moving target with a shifting sea of services & standards & expectations. Just a thin client maybe the end goal but there's basically a pretty complex featureful desktop, and with cause really. There's real burden upgrading a device to support newer ChromeOS, to keeping up.

The good news here is that ChromeOS is decoupling chrome the browser from Chrome the OS. So users may be stuck on an old ChromeOS desktop perhaps, ut they can keep upgrading Chrome the browser, which should expand effective lifetime a lot. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36977107

Albeit the question exists of how long hardware/desktop support will last. I spoke to how mainline drivers should make the task much easier. But whether companies actually do support their hardware beyond the current short lifespan or not is unknown, is anyone's guess.
I did always wonder why she sounded like she was from Minnesota.

" Sarah Palin talks like she’s from (northern) Minnesota! The original link, now dead, was sent in by Annie Wang (thanks!), but this search link shows the vast amount of discussion on this subject. On another web site it says she talks like she’s from Fargo, North Dakota (actually, like the people in the movie Fargo, actually filmed in Minnesota)! In fact, it turns out that the area of Alaska around Wasilla and Palmer is much more like the North Central dialect than it is like other Alaska dialects. [32]

On the web site above linguist James Crippen describes this dialect as Mat-Su Valley English, after the Matanuska-Susitna Valley where it is spoken. James Crippen has now kindly provided me with information that allows me to set its borders fairly accurately. He says that it probably extends no further west than Willow, no farther northeast than Sutton, and is probably dying out in much of the area anyway, because of a continued influx of people from other parts of Alaska.

So why do they talk like this? Because this area was almost entirely settled during the Great Depression by people from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan as part of a federal project. Historical info can be found in this Wikipedia article, and on this page sent in by contributor Susan Alexander. Thanks!"

There's lots of different people making different decisions for different reasons.

Mark Zuckerberg might be a true believer in open plan offices (judging by his public comments). But your average Fortune 500 company might only be into it for the savings in office space expenditure to be had from cramming people tighter. And some companies, like SAP (at least when I did an internship with them ages ago), still have offices (shared amongst eg 4 people) instead of going open plan.
ALL abstractions are leaky - this is an objectively true statement.

As others said it's not for beauty, it to make sure if there is abstraction it fits the problem. If there is encapsulation it doesn't get in the way. For some coders they can get it on the first try and there is no reason for them to rewrite code. For the rest of us mid coders we need to explore first as well as make sure all cases we desire for Lib/API work.
In my 20 year old luxo-barge car (see: a once large vehicle, average/small by today's standards), I am frequently at eye level with wheel wells and the hood is 2ft+ taller than my roofline on stock trucks. Combine that with the weight, any t-bone type accident (or pedestrians-- there is no bouncing off the hood, just absorbing the wall of energy) will be that much worse. Vehicles keep getting so much larger and are erasing any drive-train improvements in efficiency. Today's 3rd gen Tacomas (which were once a compact pickup) are similar in size to late 90's full-size domestics.

That other large SUVs like Suburbans/Tahoes (same platform as GM trucks) do not have the same opposing death rate, could suggest that things like driver behavior play an equally large role. This theory (along with the seat belt usage) could be supported by the high rates of driver fatalities in the Dodge muscle (marked as large, but RWD Hemi...) car segment.

I mean you would think printers would be THE opensource hardware project as printer hate has been a ongoing issue for as long as people have been attaching them to computers. I mean a shitty closed source printer driver is what acted as the impetus for Richard Stallman to start GNU and peicemeal trying to replace the Unix. it would seem like printing would be the prime target for opensource.

Does that work if they didn't say anything to incite acts that required policing or damage? Doesn't freedom of assembly mean freedom to call others to gather peacefully in a public place? I don't even get how needing a license to gather a large crowd is legal, denial of the license, delay of the gathering or financial cost are all restrictions on freedom of assembly. I would think that like freedom of speech, the government would need proof of imminent harm to others to stop you. You don't need a license to stream to a large crowd on the internet for example.
> Extra effort has resulted in many immigrant CEOs in the US.

This does not seem to be related to the topic and unsubstantiated at best. The US is almost by design an immigrant nation. Not even sure what extra effort immigration is.
Please read my comment again. I am not saying engineers (of the sort attempting replication) are more than amateurs when it comes to superconductors, I am saying they are not amateurs around relatively mundane equipment.

> who is trying to reproduce this without any understanding of how to operate the equipment or some understandings around basic chemistry and physics?

The engineers replicating it are at places that already had this equipment. They weren't using it to try and make floating rocks, but they didn't have the furnaces, etc., sitting around for the hell of it, and they're going to be aware of basic precautions like "Don't eat your lead and don't breathe it in in vaporized form when pulling it out of a 1000C furnace."

I do not understand the idea that people already using this equipment day to day for other purposes are somehow at significant risk while attempting to synthesize LK-99
GPUs are deterministic machines, even for floating point.

The behavior in the linked article has to do with the use of atomic adds to reduce sums in parallel. Floating point addition is not associative, so the order in which addition occurs matters. When using atomic adds this way, you get slightly different results depending on the order in which threads arrive at the atomic add call. It's a simple race condition, although one which is usually deemed acceptable.
> Melatonin appears nearly harmless.

Does it? We really haven't done enough science on it.

> Melatonin has been linked to headaches, dizziness, nausea, stomach cramps, drowsiness, confusion or disorientation, irritability and mild anxiety, depression and tremors as well as abnormally low blood pressure. It can also interact with common medications and trigger allergies. [1]

>especially anything that advocates a particular approach to health, nutrition, or medicine -- should be vetted by actual experts (more than one), and stores should be required to post disclaimers when the product doesn't pass muster.

No thanks to the nanny warning. I've reading plenty of books on alternative medicine and without exception they all have a warning along these lines:

"The medical information contained within is provided as an information resource only, and is not to be used or relied on for any diagnostic or treatment purposes. This information does not create any patient-physician relationship, and should not be used as a substitute for professional diagnosis and treatment. Please consult your health care provider before making any health care decisions or for guidance about a specific medical condition."

An additional sign is not necessary IMO. We're grown adults.
It has blown my mind for years the extent to which the Google Image Search team let Pinterest completely undermine the usefulness of their product, and they just kept on giving pinterest the top search result spots.

It's honestly more useless than the pages with a list of 1000 phone numbers that you get when you try to search for who an unknown number is.

Does anyone even work on Google Image Search? Is it run by a bunch of undercover Pinterest employees who infiltrated the team and pushed out the Googlers?
I love mitmproxy. I used it to cache all my downloads in CI for performance and stability.

That's a popular meaning, but not the exclusive one.
Read the article you linked.

It literally says that the GPU is deterministic, the NVIDIA libraries on top are deterministic, but it is Tensorflow that introduces variability (errors!) for “performance”.

My argument is that it is the AI/ML code that is introducing non-determinism, usually by sacrificing repeatability to gain performance.

That's precisely what's happening here. Tensorflow introduced a "harmless"[1] data race to improve performance by not having to use a deterministic but slower algorithm.

The individual floating point computations are deterministic, it's the multi-threaded design on top that's introducing the variability in the output.

[1] Used to be harmless, but cutting corners like this will make it nigh impossible to repeatably validate the safety of future models like GPT5. That seems pretty dangerous...

Eh, don't get me started on how many people take a well known abstraction then build another abstraction on top of it. You already had the abstraction!
This isn't a Costco-specific thing.

HP printers come in an "e" model, which requires an Instant Ink subscription (but is cheaper - effectively subsidized by the subscription), and a non-"e" model that is unlocked (but costs more). Just don't buy the "e" models if you're shopping elsewhere.

In general, the reason Costco sells electronics with different model numbers is so that you can't price match them to/from other retailers. Sometimes a few minor features get removed as well to lower the overall cost.
The point was they tended to have low quality discussion. Probably because it turned into partisan mud slinging.
Archie Bunker and Thurston Howell. You don't encounter them as much today in the wild, possibly because of how they were caricatured on TV.

It used to be worse. But overall I agree with you. Its accurate albeit often a bit simplistic.
I use an Apple TV 4K, but yeah, same idea. I was mainly just wondering if Costco models had significant differences in terms of non-smart features.
Funny thing is, I would've thought "Why You Want Voting Districts To Be Ugly" is the better title, but I guess they're the experts. Something about the "4% pretty" statistic is unfamiliar enough to me to not make me want to click on the video. Maybe this is a super niche concern, though - I can easily imagine their version getting more clicks precisely because it's more novel.

While I use an iPhone and would recommend it , you could easily get a phone like the pixel , one plus , etc that support lineageos or other 3rd party roms and that will keep support years after the vendor does. I will probably go that route next time because it’s not like the phone is unusable or slow after no more updates.

You're right, I should have been more clear, all abstractions are leaky, but some are right enough most only notice occasionally.
I just edited my comment while you were writing your comment to add an explanation. The point here is that some primitives in eg. cudNN are non-deterministic. Whether you classify that as a race condition or not is a different question; but it's intended behaviour.
Nothing about that makes w3 a poor source. I get why you block it - so MDN is shown first. That’s fair. Im just saying its not a fault of W3. Because I tend to agree with that guy. W3 really isnt bad. A bit simplistic, and MDN is better, but its not bad.
Ask HN: Offended by the term “freeloaders” in Linux/Open Source?
I my book "free loaders" is another term for users and potential customers. Without them there would be no carriers of the "message", no market for distributions, no commercial usage, no market for education. Linux would have been a niche thing without users. Please don't use that term.
I'm honestly surprised by all the Pinterest hate because I don't think I've ever once, not a single time, left clicked a Google Image Search result. It's like drinking from the dead. You just don't do it.
I totally agree that there are always incentives at play! I'm not even trying to make the claim that they're worse, although I do believe that.

One of the new incentives more at play with modern media is using a sense of social visibility, community, and belonging as a reward. Well sometimes true, I think that for the most part it is false or at least very shallow.

Someone shouting at or praising a book, newspaper, or TV rarely felt like they were part of something bigger and making a difference.

New Media enables these feelings in a way that I think is exaggerated, and leads to a different type of pathological Behavior.

To take an example, I think that some people, on some level, feel that posting some mundane comment about superconductivity makes them feel more part of the science, history, and Society. It is a subtle satisfaction of a need to validate ones on existence. I know this all sounds very Freudian, and it probably is. But my central objection is that this gratification is just a new form of junk food for the mind, leaving people malnourished and ultimately dissatisfied.

It's basically a psychological trap, like someone satisfying their need to learn with a tweet instead of reading a book. Not everything needs to be a book, but some people trick themselves into thinking they're a scholar after reading a tweet.

A) Yes. These two are popular Rental cars and cheap throw away cars people with bad credit often buy or lease. These land on the used market where they are again bought by even lower tier bad credit or people in a bind that will take anything. And then another tier of the same bought 3rd hand for cash from tax refunds or cash jobs.

Why these drivers drive a certain way is up in the air still I guess.

Anyone can read scientific papers. All you need to do is pierce the layer of jargon. It takes practice but you kind of just pick it up. Reading on a computer helps because you can get words defined by clicking on them. Reading on paper is good too, it’s easier to keep at it and it sticks better.

Some sense of urgency helps. Most people will have a medical ailment or physiological issue of some sort. I promise you that there exist useful papers on it.

As the article says, cuBLAS is deterministic, but other CUDA primitives (eg. some of those in cudNN) are not.

Yes, the non-determinism is being introduced somewhere, but that is splitting hairs. The point is that the primitives that you work with on GPUs are non-deterministic by design.
