This was inevitable after Hashicorp's move.

After thinking about it for a few days, I think Hashicorp's move is actually net great for everyone. The products that matter will be forked and maintained in the open. Hashicorp would choose wisely to merge mature forks back into their product, if they can, and now you have a pretty standard model of up selling enterprise features on an open product that's developed in the actual open. It frees Hashicorp up to focus on the enterprise, which they have already been doing, but they've been neglecting their OSS, like Terraform (what the actual fuck is going on with the development of Terraform over the last two years?)

This is great. I'm really looking forward to using freed forks that pop up in the months ahead.

This is Hashicorp's sink or swim moment.

If you asked me when they announced the license change, I'd say bet the horse on Pulumi and move on. But now I actually think this could really rejuvenate the TF ecosystem.

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory#Memory_...

But llama.cpp, and llms in general, are very atypically memory bound, even for AI workloads. Other models/backends will typically make more use of compute and cache.

For llms specifically, cloud hosts will batch requests to make better use of GPUs.

But you are not far off. There is a proposition to pipe chips with very fast memory (aka no external memory at all) together: https://www.nextplatform.com/2023/07/12/microsofts-chiplet-c...

I do feel bad for how much food I eat, probably requiring several hectares to grow, compared to smaller animals which can survive by nibbling a few leaves.
I know, that's why the suspension was possible in the first place.
I don't know how true this is, but the story was always that the Steves chose "Apple" because it was ahead of "Atari" in the phone book.

I hope it's true. But these things often turn out to be myths.

At least going by the r/selfdriving cars subreddit, it seems like Cruise cars get into a lot more 'incidents' than Waymo cars. Especially getting randomly stuck because they don't know what to do.
> obvious things like ATM withdrawals aren’t allowed

I don't know if it's still common to run things this way, but I've worked for a few banks where the core database stopped running all OLTP for a short period every day for tasks like settlement and interest calculations, etc.. During that time they'd still allow ATM withdrawals, and if you knew the schedule it was possible to go into an unapproved overdraft.
If I understand it correctly, The Dawn of Everything argues that (many) Native American societies had those kinds of strong taboos and that was a workable model until acted upon by an outside force.

They can make their own contributions going forwards BSL licensed. They can also make their own contributions Apache 2 _going forward_.

They could only make my contributions to Terraform Apache 2 with permission, so at best it could be MPLv2 with Apache 2 files interspersed.

Asking “what are you optimizing for/building towards” and getting different answers for different products isn’t proof that either is inferior, just that they may be better at different things.

Your comment makes it seem like their post is misleading, when it isn’t it just might be that what they do best isn’t useful to you (or possibly anyone).
I think it's because the alternatives all suck. One is PayPal. Another is Venmo, which is owned by PayPal. Yet another is Zelle, which has its own problems I can rant about if you like.
incremental view maintenance is the database equivalent of: "recompute only the changed data by checking the relationship between fields,"

Oracle has decent support for incrementally updated materialized views, redshift has some too. Materialize.com is an entire snowflake-like platform built around incrementally maintained materialized views.

> 'They' as in Docker Inc.? They made it accessible for the masses, which counts for a lot, but they built on a lot of pre-existing Linux kernel tech that other people who envisioned containers put in place before Docker came in and seized on the opportunity.

100%. Docker's UX has always been its killer feature, and it counts for a lot. That's a very real contribution. But this is absolutely still a 'shoulders of giants', 'it takes a village' situation.
I only hobby in game dev. I have read some basics of ECS and IMO it seems a lot more intuitive than the “normal approach”. I think this is a case of using familiar tools we are comfortable with, not necessarily better. Unity’s ECS implementation is a hot mess though. I am looking forward to seeing what Bevy delivers as it matures.

I agree that copying an existing product will be easier and is usually cheaper and more performant because you can leverage your competitor’s R&D and lessons learned. I presume this is why some tech companies’ product lines are full of clones.
Sfgate had some stats recently that align with this. Though from what I understand there are more cruise cars than wayno cars on the streets.
SpaceX takes another step toward launching Starship again
He points out that the YouTube video "uses mediants" to compute rational approximations to real numbers. He then says that the continued fraction expansion is better. However, the mediant-based method is totally identical to the continued fraction expansion method. The two are related via the Stern-Brocot tree (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern%E2%80%93Brocot_tree).

The fractions that one gets from iterating the mediant process are exactly the "semiconvergents" one gets from the continued fraction process. Truncating the continued fraction gives the "convergents"; these are special mediants which are right before switching direction as one zig zags on the tree.
I can’t go into specifics due to NDAs, but I’ve been a developer on a game that was designed and programmed with the EnTT library from the ground up. [1]

I don’t know if I’d suggest ECS for every team as you need the right tooling, culture, and leadership to pull it off. That said, I think the paradigm has unrecognized benefits when it comes to greenfield gameplay programming.

Or, your data structures become a way for sub-teams to communicate and share state without stepping on one another’s toes. A group handling pathfinding and a different one handling scenario/mission logic can both pay attention to the position data without needing to be highly coupled. It becomes easy to “just add a system” or “an extra component” to build on existing functionality.

The Fred Brooks quote about “showing me your tables” comes to mind.

That looks great. The 0-70C operating range is noteworthy if you want to use it for a doorbell, though.
There were several factors causing the accident:

1. The AOA sensor was faulty

2. The installation of the AOA sensor apparently didn't check for proper operation

3. The MCAS system was connected to only one of the two AOA sensors

4. The MCAS system had too much authority

5. The LA pilots did not think to turn off the stab trim system when it ran away

6. The EA pilots did not receive, read or remember the Emergency Airworthiness Directive sent to all MAX pilots after the first crash that basically said to turn off the stab trim when it runs away

7. The first MCAS incident was when the crew simply turned off the stab trim and landed safely. The information about the faulty sensor was not passed on to the next crew, who crashed.
Did you read the methodology that was used to come up with the "photo"?

It's a far cry from just shifting the spectrum a bit to the visible range.
A quick search on Google News shows at least 3 human drivers did the same thing in the last 3 months, so this doesn't bother me all that much.

One of the ops in #warez had the genius idea to register breasts.com back in the early '90s when domain names were literally free. He got retirement money almost immediately, to the tune of 50k a month. Probably got a small fortune when he sold the domain.
I have the book, and I just confirmed it's got cross sections of several capacitor types: aluminum electric, ceramic, glass, mica, tantalum, and others.
> Why would Hashicorp give the slightest worry to losing thousands and thousands of non-paying customers?

The photoshop effect*. That is to say, devs that are familiar with it will push their workplaces, because it's a pain to pick up yet another tool when you know one that will work.

*A largely hypothesized reason photoshop was so easy to crack back in the day, was that Adobe knew that if kids grew up using photoshop, businesses wouldn't be willing to spend the money re-training their employees, and would just buy a photoshop license.
When working with old tube based radios, transmitters, etc... the silver mica capacitors would sometimes experience migration of the silver, leading to breakdown, generating a ton of "thunder clap" sounds in the audio output. I figured out a reasonable method to track them down, if you have the schematic, and a good DVM.

1 - Take out all of the tubes, except the high voltage rectifier, if possible (some systems wire them in series, in that case, this won't work) Be sure you have good and correct documentation about tube placement, you wouldn't want to make it worse.

2 - Measure the voltage across the resistor in series with said capacitors. You should read zero volts across them... even with 250 volts B+. If there is a voltage, you either have a resistive path to ground you didn't see, or a bad capacitor, leaking to ground. (There will be zero current through a good capacitor, thus zero volts across any resistor in series with it)

3 - Replace all the tubes

This saved us hours of trouble once I figured this trick out.
Because you're not at all acting in your own best interest, you've been commenting on HN linked to your very unique real name for years and now suddenly you think you're going to go ballistic on this forum and walk away without a scratch? It will make you into a pariah and it's a very small world. You're attracting a ton of attention to yourself while you claim you want to become invisible, the Streisand effect is real and this isn't helping you at all.

The wrath of a programmer scorned that hopes to be hired in the future does not include pissing off a community of this size in their own field linked to their own name. If you keep this up nobody is going to want you within a hundred miles of their IT infrastructure. Be smart, mail dang about which comments you want to have deleted and I'm sure he'll be happy to help, even if it doesn't happen on your immediate timetable. And be aware that there exist countless copies of the HN database each of which can be used to link your nick to your real life ID.

Oh, and you may want to delete your disparaging comment about Paul Graham while you're at it, that's actionable. Smart wording isn't going to help you, it is clear that you are trying to smear his reputation.
To be fair, Google didn’t change its name like the others. Some subsidiaries that used to be under Google just moved out into a parent umbrella company. Google still exists and contains basically all of the products it used to, and none of the branding changed.
dude most software “engineers” copy paste code from stackoverflow and load up a library of functions written by somebody else

Rights go beyond laws my friend. You see for example, I have the right to endlessly create accounts and flood this site with LLM spam, if I wanted to. Nothing illegal about training a model to post comments online is there?

You see… when it comes to rights and impinging on the rights of others… it becomes rather easy to make enemies of people you really don’t want to be enemies with.

Hacker News can either delete my comments (not just anonymize the username) and then delete my account or I have the right to become a very very annoying problem for them.

Rights are inalienable like that.
Corridor Crew did a some sort of anime using this technique [1] and then they did two videos [2, 3] explaining the technology behind. Quite interesting if you ask me!

There still are some issues with the eyes and a bit of flickering but at the speed everything is moving I wouldn't be surprised if this improves in a year or two.

Needless to say, there's still a lot of artistry involved in such a process so anything is yet to be completely automated.

I kinda feel like this is DOA until modules are more widespread. Any new cppfront code in an existing C++ codebase can't include any existing header files which automatically excludes it from any C++ codebase I've worked on (or any I expect to in the next few years) without a significant amount of developer time spent making the migration to modules-only.

Would love to try it out though when that happens, I do hope that modules will eventually get mainstream enough to make cppfront viable.

Or you know, you start a blog documenting a couple T72s in Syria then the first modern war happens involving thousands of tanks and suddenly Russia and Ukraine are losing hundreds of every variety of vehicle

An unexpected explosion in scope creep combined with a similar explosion in the pissing contest that your losses numbers are having on thousands of conversations across Twitter, Telegram, and Reddit daily.

That sort of commitment needs to be a very well paid job with a team of helpers. Monetizing and professionalizing comes with its own downsides and not everyone is cut out for it.

Regardless plenty of people care about OSINT and many young autist-type tank nerds are capable of taking up this helm if they so choose. Oryx will be sadly missed and the demand is only growing. Maybe someone will take its place. Possibly an organization that accepts donations (Oryx never wanted to AFAIK).

I made a SAP killer in lotus Notes. Ok maybe not exactly, but at IBM the choice was to wait for SAP to come in and do the project management with that, or have me (intern) port existing non Y2K compliant green screen project management program to Lotus Notes. It wouldn’t be as feature rich as SAP but it would do what was needed.

Because I cost many orders of magnitude less and my Boss kinda figured rightly the SAP project would be really late, they ended up with my database application which the users liked because I added features to make their lives easier.

Custom tailored apps really can be an amazing thing. I wonder why more companies never really got on board with the Notes/FileMaker databases. My lab currently has a pretty custom management system that tracks everything, prints labels and just really is a force multiplier.
I think you're talking about generating bitmaps of video, one frame at a time - which is a pretty different task from generating vector animation. If the LLM is approaching the task like an animator would (i.e. I want this shape to move here slowly for a long time, then grow rapidly for a short duration, then...) and expressing the result in some kind of keyframe animation format (Lottie, AE, Unity, etc.) then you aren't having to deal with the kinds of artifacts you described.
Of the person responsible for the team or firm’s output. Still, the work is done by more than one person, greatly reducing risk and adding to the confidence in that one stamp.

fwiw, my personal experience testing both has been that Waymo's vehicles are noticeably better at driving, and also drive more aggressively. It's to the point where sitting in a Waymo vehicle is unremarkable and I don't even pay attention to its driving, while Cruise still typically has at least 2 "that wasn't great" moments per ride.
The real dropped ball isn't the delay, but the communication (or lack there of) of same.

The issue with console hardware is that some applications use old code paths that directly call into the most basic framebuffer Symbolics Lisp Machines had, and that is not supported on X11 - thus said software doesn't work neither on OpenGenera, nor on UX400, UX1200, and NXP1000 physical lisp machines (all of which lack console hardware and use X11.

The only exception is AFAIK MacIvory, which has special subsystem that emulates console hardware on top of Macintosh toolbox calls done over Sun RPC.
> if it is associated with a carefree time in your life.

I think it’s a little bit deeper than that. For almost all of human history, culture was static throughout a person’s life except in rare and exceptional cases (such as being conquered). I don’t think we are wired for such rapid and constant cultural change.
Every lottie editor seems to be behind the cloud, gatekeeping the software and other useful things like your edit history behind a subscription. I'm waiting for the standalone desktop Lottie/SVG animation editor I can purchase so I don't have to toggle my subscription especially for the 2 months of the year that I need it.
This kind of 101-level advice is fine for dealing with random edgelord trolls with 10 followers. However, it's nigh-on impossible to simply ignore the likes of Musk and Trump when newspaper columns are full of their activity and they have such a fucking large impact on us.

Other workloads with noticeable performance hits (at least relevant to my day to day work):

* Code compilation - Linux kernel compilation takes ~15% longer with any of the mitigations on. LLVM and Node compilation are less substantial for kernel only, or safe RET microcode fix, but still ~15% longer for the IBPD mitigation. Though the Linux kernel gap seems much smaller (~7%) when tested on desktop ryzen (zen 4) instead of EPYC (zen 3)

* Numpy benchmark - at least ~10% loss with mitigations (on EPYC)

* nginx - at least ~15% with loss with mitigations (on EPYC)

Most other impacts limited to less than 5% (if any).
Just to clarify, I did give you version 2 license keys that worked on those beta releases and this version 2 release at no extra charge, as I promised. I also changed the beta releases to not have a time limit and accept license keys instead. The beta releases I provided had nearly the same capability and quality as this one.
This specific scenario doesn’t seem like a damning indictment of the tech, you can absolutely see how it could happen. But on the other hand it speaks to the “death by a thousand cuts”-yness of it all. How many other weird little edge cases exist out there for drivers? Countless. You’re going to struggle to program solutions to every one.
Really the default should be "match system". Both Mac and Windows (at the very least) have this baked into the DE at this point.
That's not a no. I CAN provide a reference. As a matter of fact, I did. Wittgenstein and Turings biographies. Read my comments you uneducated keyboard warrior instead of acting out emotionally.
You're right that the bank's involvement stops as soon as the debt is sold, but depending on how lucky you are, your debt may be split up or combined with other debt and sold on, or collection agencies can be hired to try and collect on the debt.

As far as I know, the bank isn't a bad institution to be indebted to. It's the people your debt gets sold to that you need to be afraid of.
