Having started with Linux using Gentoo - after some attempted excursions into Debian/Ubuntu, then at work CentOS and even few months of having to use Slackware on servers until I finally convinced my boss that his T50-something Thinkpad will do same or better on Gentoo ... (and he won't need to manually chase up dependencies).

And even thought already for years compiling most of the things doesn't take that long. Just for not having to compile bunch of packages where I'm using standard/default config - I've tried Sabayon (back when it was still almost kind of Gentoo), went back to Gentoo ...

And then for almost a decade now - I've been extremely happy with https://www.calculate-linux.org/

Go on then. Beyond RPMs ability to depend on soname, what else is there on the structure/installation/usage side (not on the building side which can include whatever scripts you want). Where are they now aware of the libraries more than tar.gz is?
Some of this might be your expectation of housing costs? A 220k mortgage, even at 7.5% interest, is still affordable on a 130k salary. This works out to < 25% of your after-tax income which is pretty average or maybe lower than average (unsure if most affordability stats are quoting pre or post-tax income).
Yeah, mobile agents were a hot topic back then (mid 90s), and Telescript was one of the early programming languages that enabled this idea of agents roaming around doing stuff on the web. Java coming along around the same time with dynamic loading of code (used in applets for example) gave the idea another boost. Ultimately, I don't think the security issues (agent could attack the host, host could attack the agent, agents could attack each other, etc.) were worth the trouble and the research seemed to fizzle.

I always wondered if message passing between static agents wasn't a functionally equivalent yet safer and simpler alternative to mobile agents.
Softbank are dumping their shares in ARM while at peak valuation, before RISC-V eats its market share (they saw it coming, that's why they are rushing to IPO before rise of RISC-V).

Most big ARM clients are dumping ARM for RISC-V.

Yeah I wondered if few shot prompting would yield better results than finetuning. For the amount of finetuning I've done (1 epoch, 7B model with 4 bit quantization), I think it might be comparable. But if we scale this to a bigger model and longer training times, I think finetuning should produce much better results. Hoping someone with access to compute will try it out and update us!
Right.

But there have been changes in the Android API that have been non-backwards compatible and if your app is using those API's, they will break when run on newer versions. Same as for iOS.

Many simple apps targeting very old versions of their respective API/SDK will still work on both platforms.

Ultimately, keeping an app active and functional does require maintenance.

> No, [C is not a high-level assembler], and it hasn't been for about 40 years. «C Is Not a Low-level Language Your computer is not a fast PDP-11.» some dude in ACM Queue

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this ACM rant seems to amount to blaming C language for the most disastrous embarrassment in the history of Intel Corp, i.e. spectre/meltdown. Well, thank you very much, but that’s just deranged thinking, or someone was on INTL payroll in 2018.

but wow, thank you, what a gem. he then proceeds to elucidate how C is broken and again not low-level enough, because his 1337 skills require knowing the cache line size. well, this is absolutely true, captain Chisnall. but what is complete and utter nonsense is the conclusion that C is retarded by not letting the programmer manipulate the cache directly:

“The cache is, as its name implies, hidden from the programmer and so is not visible to C. Efficient use of the cache is one of the most important ways of making code run quickly on a modern processor, yet this is completely hidden by the abstract machine, and programmers must rely on knowing implementation details of the cache (for example, two values that are 64-byte-aligned may end up in the same cache line) to write efficient code.“

This deserves a WAT.

We shouldn't allow the government to act quickly? That is nonsensical, going slower during a crisis makes zero sense.

You can argue what boundaries should be relaxed and how far to relax them but "hold the government to a tighter standard ahead of time during a crisis" is the opposite of helpful.

We normally hold the government to a strict limit due to there being no time limit.
That's an implementation problem, not a problem with the concept of asynchronous execution, and it's specifically a problem in only one popular implementation: Javascript in the browser without web-workers.

That's specifically why I called it a Leaky Abstraction in my first post on this: too many people are confusing a particular implementation of asynchronous function calls with the concept of asynchronous function calls.

I'm complaining about how the mainstream languages have implemented async function calls, and how poorly they have done so. Pointing out problems with their implementation doesn't make me rethink my position.

So I guess here my question is why a GPU would perform accumulations in a nondeterministic way where the non-associativity of FP arithmetic matters. You could require that a + b + c always be evaluated left to right and then you've got determinism, which all things being equal is desirable. Presumably because relaxing that constraint allows for some significant performance benefits, but how? Something like avoiding keeping a buffer of all the weights*activations before summing?

people who care about this kind of thing will simply cease to use those websites.

I have never clicked on facebook/instagram links because of their login walls, I have ceased to click on twitter links since they've implemented theirs, I will do the same even with youtube when it inevitably follows the same path.

ultimately, I understand why we don't matter to them, so I don't really mind.
Yeah, Yammer was used pretty extensively within Microsoft. I didn’t use it much, but if you were at Microsoft but not based in Redmond, it was probably the best way to keep up with what was going on company-wide (for those that actually cared).

BIf a copy of the downloaded file is redistributed or used in possibly other ways that infringe on copyrights, THAT I could understand, but suddenly making the act of just downloading the file (assuming it is made legally available to the public). But if the downloaded file is analyzed by some software and then thrown away, I don't see how that is infringing copyrights, more than say downloading an image to decompress it and scale it to display on a screen (then throw it away once it is no longer needed).
Topics is going to be far easier to block with an extension, or to have an extension provide fake data for, than 3rd party cookies ever were.

Blocking 3rd party cookies always had a big risk of breaking stuff, since they could be used for legitimate purposes too, not just ad tracking and have built up a couple of decades worth of those legacy use cases. Topics is a tightly constrained single-purpose feature. Nothing will break when it's turned off or blocked.

But also, it's not like there's much reason to use an extension to block Topics, given it's an opt-in feature (unlike 3p cookies which were opt-out) and can be turned off at any time from the settings faster than installing an extension would be.

> Finally, your steps only tell me what Google is telling others. It tells me nothing about what data the browser itself might be collecting and passing onto Google.

That's totally independent of Topics though.

This is the same with AliExpress and other similar Chinese ecommerce websites like BangGood. They all seem to be selling the same items and I suspect often the storefronts are run by the same people.

I have brought a lot of IoT type electrics like esp32 and related tech from them includes wires, soldering irons and sometimes usb hubs . It all worked and met specs.

I am careful to not pick something without reviews. And generally I am not buying items worth very much so if it doesn’t work out I am not out a ton of money.

I work with the assumption of no support and no returns. So I limit by risk.

Amazon has responded to AliExpress by allowing many Chinese storefronts that ship from China on their website with many of the same items with similar-ish prices more recently. The selection is still not as good though.
I wondered that, too, I think it means that the full value is used as the shift amount rather than modulo whatever. Which should mean that it'd end up filled with zeroes if shifting greater than the reg width.
I was curious about this, so here's a bit more detail.

Interest rates were quite high (and surprisingly variable, as a modern observer) in the early 1980s, peaking at almost 20% and spending a lot of time in the teens [1]. However, the median house price [2] was still low relative to median household income -- at the interest rate peak of 18.9% at the end of 1980, the median house sale price was 66k, and the median household income was 21k [3], for a ratio of about 3.1. In 2022 the median house sale price was about 450k, and the median household income was $71k [4], for a ratio of about 6.3!

I think the mortgage rate difference does mean the 80s were still worse if you took out a long mortgage at the given rates. However, 1) you could also save for much less time and buy a house with a smaller mortgage, and 2) there seem to have been a lot of since-closed loopholes [5] like assumable mortgages (from my limited understanding: you essentially take over the current owner's mortgage, along with its lower rates from when they bought house) that meant a lot of people were technically buying houses with much lower effective rates.

So ... I question the claim that the early 80s were easily as unaffordable as now.

In the US, there's no real way to force a city to build if they want to and honestly, they shouldn't be forced to. I've seen a city build up fast and it's ugly when the infrastructure lags the amount of people in an area.

I'd like to see literally any kind of rail, but for rail to be viable the Feds would actually have to enforce the law that passenger trains get priority. They're the only people who can sue about it and that's basically why Amtrak sucks. New rail is largely a pipe dream if we can't even leverage the miles and miles of rail we already have.

Subsidiaries would help, since most placed want to grow, but can't. Encouraging municipal internet would help since remote work could bring money into more rural areas and kick start the process of making them worth living in. Honestly, I just think we need strategies to encourage people to leave cities and more to smaller places. Or at least establish new cities outside of the normal bounds of the city a bit further away. The US has the space. There's no reason for everyone to crowd together.
Thank you, Ill check it out!

I tried out zvm (Zig Version Manger) on my Mac laptop earlier today, seems to work even if it’s not super polished:

You're completely right about the DIY vs. Industrial issue. And the reality is that I need both, a DIY solution to teach students "this is how they work, these are the fundamentals, this is how to fix them/change them/operate them." And I also need one that can be hooked up to other machines, and able to be a true industrial robot (not so much with weight capacity, but with reach), and be a true integrated system to show students: "That other one was a toy, now here's how to use a real one in industry."

But I basically now operate in Bureaucratic Hell, and I have to figure out a way to get the equipment to teach my students. And due to changes in how my organization operates, ironically enough, I've found that getting the "professional/educational/industrial" products is often not the right decision.

One of the worst things that can happen is that we buy a $250,000 piece of equipment. The administration will never ever budget for the cost of maintenance, consumables, tooling, training, everything else required to successfully operate it. Within a year, you're stuck with a $250,000 piece of equipment sitting in a corner collecting dust, that is always shown to VIP's on tours as the latest in greatest in what we offer. Oh, and it's so expensive, we're not going to allow students to use it anyway, because we can't let them break it.

And it's amazing, they won't have funding for that $100 tool I need to teach the students and use everyday, but every year they'll manage to find $100,000 to spend, a week before the end of the fiscal year, which we have to spend immediately, but it can only be spent on certain items, like the things that I don't actually need. Welcome to public technical education in America. (Sorry, obviously, you unintentionally touched a nerve.)

But if I can get something that costs $2000, well, I can either fix it myself, or better yet have the students do it I will take something that I know is sustainable, that students can actually put their hands on and operate over that white elephant every day of the week.

In reality, this is all moot. No matter the cost, my budget is effectively zero at the moment. But I can hope.

The $40k was a Universal Robots UR3e I believe. The vendor put it on a cart as a portable, self-contained system.

There was nothing wrong with Optane (I'm talking about non-volatile memory, it is important because there were a few products under Optane name)

I believe that was/is impressive tech.

You could have disk and ram in one stick aka kinda unified memory.

Think of it: instead of purchasing RAM+Disk, you purchase one stick and configure it as e.g 40% of the capacity works as a disk and 60% as a "RAM".

But saying that they "cancelled" doesn't tell the whole story.

IIRC: they couldnt find a fab which would produce them after Micron sold their fab.

What is better about vim? Evil mode in emacs has the same keybinds you're used to. Extensibility and customization is 100x better since everything is lua, instead of trying to twist viml to do what it wasn't meant to do.

We can explain this without "brainwashing": Risk-taking Canadians move to the United States, leaving behind the risk-averse. ;)

In reality, Canada and the U.S. have a "common market" of sorts that allows talent to move back and forth fairly easily. On top of this, cities tend to "specialize" in certain industries, and it's much easier to move the talent to the industry than move then industry to the talent.

This means that Hollywood stays in Los Angeles, and Canadian actors move south; Silicon Valley stays in San Francisco and Canadian programmers move south; Wall Street stays in New York and (some) Canadian Bankers move south.
