>ultimately this is exactly what Canada (a sovereign country ruled by the people) wanted

I'm not a fan of Facebook but I totally support their position and what's even crazier now is that the CBC and others who pushed this are now asking the Canadian Gov to sue Facebook because of this.

It's typical behavior of a Gov/Society that is protectionist.They cheered when Trudeau and Freeland made all the Telcos Canadian media companies to protect them from competition (American). Canadians typically cut their nose off to spite their face, there is a long list of everything from dairy, eggs, duty free allowances when crossing the border, etc that they vehemently supported during NAFTA II (because America sucks) that they now complain about. All I can say is enjoy the cost of your mobile rates, food prices, 1.80 CAD a liter for fuel.

Just saying...

+1.

To produce a highly-optimized C/C++ kernel that utilizes the CPU to the fullest extent, it requires tremendously amount of talent and expertise. For example, not everyone can write a hand-vectorized kernel with AVX2 intrinsics (outside a few specialized applications like 3D graphics, media encoding, and the likes), and even fewer people can exploit the underlying feature of the algorithm for optimization, such as producing usable output at greatly reduced numerical precision. The power of LLM provides strong motivation to drive the brainpower of countless programmers all over the world to do just that. New techniques are proposed and implemented on a monthly basis, with people thinking and applying every possible trick on the LLM optimization problems. In this regard, moving from Python to C is totally reasonable.

In comparison, right now I'm working on optimizing a niche open-source scientific simulation kernel with a naive C codebase. Before me, there were hardly any contributors in the last decade.

Python has its place because not everyone has a level of resource and expertise comparable to ML. In particular, when the bulk of the data processing of a Python script is in done in a function call to a C++ or FORTRAN kernel like scipy, the differences between naive C and naive Python code (or Julia code if you're following the trend) are not that much, especially when it's a one-off project for just publishing a single paper.

Not willing to be the party pooper, but isn't htmx's appeal the simplicity of it?

I would expect it to be "done", or maybe could be refined with a couple more little things, but definitely not needing full-time dedication on making a version 2.0 or adding new features.

Aren't we going to end up with a new react?
Exactly what I was thinking. Comparing it with https://www.ventusky.com/?p=26.8;-117.1;4&l=wind-10m it’s almost identical.
Interesting. It makes me wonder what a government service that is comprised of public message boards would look like. Like NextDoor with city/county/state/federal tiers.

It's easy to shoot that idea down, harder though to suggest an alternative that solves the problem of creating a public space not controlled by corporate/monied interests.

Microsoft ported OLE 1 to Macintosh, but never OLE Version 2, because Apple guidelines forbid programes to start other programs. Because of that Photoshop had a not supported version of OLE. I don't know if it is still available in up to date Photoshop.

On Windows it works both ways with OLE 2.
I suppose the sites (except for CBC) could paywall. That would be the only recourse. And would actually solve the issue at hand in a lot cleaner and familiar way.

The law change has both its support and detractors here, so wholesale downvoting without even commenting is counter to any real discussion. So I do appreciate your input for sure. I agree with your statement on Meta complying with what they were told to do, and not wanting to entertain an about-face when shortcomings in the law (before it is even passed!) show up.

We also have Canadian Content Laws here that have an impact on how Canadian media is handled within our own borders. I would expect people who don't like that law to also not like this one - they both complicate things more than they were presumably meant to.
Yeah i make a living in the GPU space. I think my comment comes from colleagues having to hold my hand to set up their ML / Python environments with all of their picadellos. In fact its bad enough that i have to use docker to create an insular environment tailored to their specific setup. And Python is like a 1000 times slower when its not using other libs like numpy.
That blows, I bet that's loud as hell. I'd file a nuisance complaint with your city's 3-1-1 service to get the ball rolling. Some people just don't care enough to hire a professional to help them with dog behavior issues and it's just not acceptable.
Why isnt copying creative? Isn't it fairly well understood that a lot of creativity is derivative anyway? That in the act of being artistic, artists borrow and are influenced by other works?
Author here. At the time, Angular relied a lot on the AOT compiler and tree shaking to keep bundle sizes down. No idea if this is still the case.

If we built the app with the stable branch the bundle size was orders of magnitude smaller: less than 200kb. Still a bit of a chonker, but more reasonable than the ridiculousness the experimental SSR branch spat out.
That $400 expense thing is a myth stemming from misleading framing (as is typical of most of these catchy doomer statistics). Mostly what it says is that 37% of people prefer to use their credit cards and just pay them off at the end of the cycle. Which makes sense given the enhanced protections credit cards typically have and the cashback, both of which would be significant for a $400 transaction.

Public safety? As soon as you codify it into the law it is no longer arbitrary. Maybe arbitrarily enforced (down the road) but that is a different battle.
Forget tunes, manufacturers are sending the things out of the factory with "pop and bang" settings. It needs to be outlawed. It's getting worse and worse. Presumably MOT doesn't cover it if they are getting set this way by default.

Noise pollution in general is getting really bad and I think manufacturers need to be held accountable for this. My neighbour has recently installed some kind of "smart door bell". When the postie, or whoever, rings this, it makes a chime on the outside of the house. So the whole street knows when that doorbell is pressed. Why in the ever-loving fuck does it even have a speaker on the outside of the house?!
It’s going to be a tf or PyTorch feature rather than going directly to writing things in C. No point solving this problem only once.
If you had a global product that required this level of coverage, you’d have global customers. This is well worth the cost for this type data.
As long as we are language trolling, why would anyone start a greenfield project like this in C++ these days? The android, windows, firefox, and now chrome projects have all begun to shift towards rust and in the case of Android and Firefox, write a significant amounts of their project in rust. Migrating an existing project like that is difficult. The chrome team in particular lamented the difficulty. But starting a new project? If you have a team familiar with performant c++ the speedbump of starting a greenfield project in rust is negligible, and the ergonomic improvements in the build system and the language itself will make up for that in any project that takes more than a few months. For that speed bump you get memory and thread race safety, far better than any stack of c++ analysis tools could ever provide with a tiny fraction of the unit tests you'd write in c++. And you lose no performance.
Those pops are “features” in some stock unmodified cars too. So unnecessary.

no, wait, that’s not rich… that’s something else.
While this sounds like a reasonable argument…

It’s not, otherwise they’d get a discount on insurance…which they don’t. And it’s bullshit for a lot of reasons, including good ol’ physics.
They very much didn’t want to ban it, they ALSO wanted to get paid for the social media links too. It just backfired on them.
I certainly hope race is factored into insurance! Sex is. Why wouldn't race be? Geographical location is, and that is largely a proxy for race.

It is not "unjust" to make more accurate predictions using the data you have available. It is fundamentally incapable of being unjust. Injustice comes from making wrong decisions, not from making right decisions.

You seem like the type of person that would declare statistics racist because it reveals facts you don't want to hear.
And that is why the gov should be using official government channels or Amber alert type systems to disseminate essential information.

The above project somewhat supports GPUs if you pass the correct GGML compile flags to it. `GGML_CUBLAS` for example is supported when compiling. You get a decent speedup relative to pure C/C++.
Pretty sure it was and it’s a coincidence. There was an entire pseudo dialect around that meme
I would like to mention Timo Gatsonides here. He was CEO and CTO at SensysGatso BV. They build popular speed cameras. When I was an employee there, he was building these noise cameras along with emission capture etc. I am not affiliated with them anymore, was they were implementing some really good strategies in netherlands. Not sure if this implementation is by them, there is lot more you can do when it comes to traffic enforcement.

PS. Most of the Trajectcontrole in netherlands are implemented by them
> still runs in finite (and thus polynomial) time

Not all finite runtimes are polynomial…

That hypothetical algorithm you’re looking for has no known upper bound beyond being a finite number. A polynomial algorithm can include an arbitrarily large constant factor so you need to run for an arbitrarily long time searching for it.

All algorithms run in O(1) time if you can arbitrarily increase the constant to however long it’s going to take, but that’s not what constant time means.

Polynomial time is O(X^(constant)) and you aren’t providing a constant. Going if O(X^(constant)) may not work therefore we try a larger constant until it works stops being polynomial time. Similarly running 2^X different polynomial algorithms takes exponential time not a polynomial running time.
Yeah I'm back in the office most days and I'm really enjoying it.
Is that a first case of metaenshitification?
I know this isnt a popular take but as a diesel engine mechanic, i think Amsterdam is going to be surprised at just how many "clean idle" diesel and modern trucks they are going to catch simply due to the nature of the regulation.

the regulatory ban on dirty trucks is a good thing, but most manufacturers implemented their fixes in the most ham-fisted and half-hearted way they could think of at the expense of noise emissions. take Vortec for example, a technology that creates a little mini "tornado" or air in the intake box to boost performance and improve emissions. at the hood or 'bonnet' of the truck during accelleration this thing can peak around 100db. Volvo tries to solve this with foam insulation for the intake area but that never lasts more than a few hundred thousand miles. Ive seen vortec trucks set off car alarms.

then theres the desperate attempt to keep unmaintained trucks on roads. If trucks dont get service regularly for urea tanks and other emission control devices, theyre supposed to go into 'limp' mode. 30kph, no faster, until service is made. well truck companies got around this by instituting 'regenerative' mode. if you walk past a very loud truck (and i mean freight train loud) idling in the street during a delivery, chances are good its past its service interval and has entered regen mode. idle engine speed is ramped up from 750 RPM to nearly 3500 in an attempt to generate temperatures hot enough to combust waste gasses instead of clean them on exit (frankly it doesnt really work.) its hard on the entire engine and environmental system but hey, truck still gets to do its job for the week.

The reason why you don’t hear these stories is because no one making meaningful money as a bootstrapped founder wants to invite unnecessary competition.

Take a look at any sub-reddit related to entrepreneurship. The minute someone even hints they are making a lot of money in some area you see multiple replies asking about the product, niche, etc. People will clone what works. Why would anyone create that kind of exposure if they didn’t need to?

[Edit: just read the rest of this thread and there are three people asking the $4 million guy how he did it, so I guess point proven?]
The problem is that companies that successfully become monopolies like this - especially over critical public functions like communication - shouldn't be allowed to be private. At that point, they've made themselves utilities.

But the free marketeers have such a grip on public policy here in North America that the governments aren't able to take the appropriate regulatory action: Either nationalize them and make them a utility or break up the monopoly so you don't have a behemoth with so much power over a critical function like communication.

how do you intend to handle nulls? allow nulls, nullable types or Option/Maybe type?
Sounds like you wouldn't use this service regardless of whether you were rich or just had good credit (and neither would I) but that's not the point I was making. It's that having $12k a year (either debit or credit, it doesn't matter) that you don't need to spend on things like food and rent is still a luxury for a great many people. People who would never be able to use this app no matter how much they wanted to. This fee is therefore an effective barrier to entry for a considerable segment of the population as intended.
Question for parents in "Guess" cultures: How do you train a child when they constantly ask for things?

I have three kids, and my oldest child asks for things constantly. She's gotten a little better, but often requires that I repeat the phrase "don't ask for anything" every 2 to 3 minutes when we are in a situation where asking for things is inappropriate.

My younger kids are a lot more reasonable and don't constantly ask for things, even though my oldest would constantly ask for things when she was their age.

It's clearly a personality thing. (If you have ever read any of the pigeon books by Mo Williams, my child often acts like the pigeon.)

For example, with this one particular child, if I am making dinner and have my hands full, she will keep asking for a snack, even though I will repeat that I am making dinner and there are no snacks until dinner is ready.

So how would you deal with this behavior?

How terrifying that must have been for all of the humans involved! You would think that emergency services vehicles would be equipped to broadcast shutdown codes to nearby driverless vehicles when their sirens are on. It’s my understanding that some intersections are equipped with devices to keep lights from changing when emergency vehicles (fire, police, ems) are moving through.
Ha-ha, but seriously: Society seems to have lost the ability to curb "annoying, mildly belligerent, but not strictly illegal" antisocial behavior. Used to be, if someone did some taboo thing that irritated everyone around them, the community would shame him for it. Now, you say something to them, and everyone whips their phone out and you're suddenly the Village Karen, butting your nose in where it doesn't belong. From loud motorcycles to cutting in queue, to abusing retail workers, to holding up traffic to take a selfie, to TikTok "pranks", everyone can basically get away with being a narcissistic asshole, and everyone else just keeps their heads down, desperately minding their own business.

>What do you suppose would happen if insurance companies tried to charge black people more money, or simply refused to cover them for conditions related to high blood pressure?

Performative outrage from the insanely woke mainstream media, because racial issues drive ratings like nothing else.

Insurance companies wouldn't refuse to cover them for those conditions because it isn't good business sense, both for the above reason and because the rational thing is to charge a slightly higher premium.

Why should white people getting insurance subsidise the insurance of unhealthy people that make bad lifestyle choices just because those people happen to be black, but not otherwise?
Most newer bikes barring maybe Harleys come stock with exhausts that aren't monstrously loud because of regulations (though some have ways around that).

Problem is most peoples first course of action is to modify it to sound louder/"better". You'll often see this as the first complaint people have about bikes in motorcycle review videos.

My current bike is a newer CBR650R, mand it sounds relatively tame. But some people complain about that.

An older vehicle I may not fault as much, but you also have people revving to redline for no probable reason.
I don't see anything in your comment that suggests a problem with their plan if the goal is to prevent vehicles from being too loud.... sure there may be some vehicles that are too loud because of good intentions on the emissions side, but that doesn't change the fact that they're too loud?

not sure what "It's not hard to write Python code that "optimally exploits" the GPU", exactly means but Python is so far from exploiting the GPU resources even with C/C++ bindings that it's not even funny. I am sure that HPC folks would have migrated way from FORTRAN and C/C++ long time ago if it was so easy.
