I like diagrams of code. I would like to understand Linux better.

I tried to get Linux 0.0.1 compiling. I replaced gcc with gcc -m32 and unfortunately the inline assembly constraints were invalid/impossible. Anybody have an ideas how to fix this?

I removed an unrecognised gcc flag.

I was hoping to run it in 32 bit qemu.
If the individual accepts the “Western” brand of Buddhism which is non-violent, they are absolutely correct in their statement. Buddhism, historically or actively in other sects do not impact how a Western individual practices their form of Buddhism.

If we can accept the sects of Christianity and they have different viewpoints, etc. without the whataboutism, we need to do the same and stop this with “Western” Buddhism, as well.
Why would we need to create a different term or to even categorize these two kinds of people differently?
They both deserve and need help. If someone spits on a windshield doesn't mean they deserve less

I'm not sure if she discusses that specific element of disinformation, though her research covers a number of dimensions, from disinfo-at-scale in social networks to types of disinformation.

Her publications are listed at her UW bio page: <https://ischool.uw.edu/people/faculty/profile/kstarbi>

"Disinformation campaigns are murky blends of truth, lies and sincere beliefs – lessons from the pandemic (2020)" might address that point: <https://theconversation.com/disinformation-campaigns-are-mur...>

Specific rhetorical methods of disinformation seems like a topic others are working on. Possibly useful DDG search: <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=rhetoric+of+disinformation+...>
This is so funny/bizarre... they make $8k over 1 million. Which means that with 100 mil installs they have to give Unity their entire revenue even at 1 cent per install.

BUT if they actually only made $999k they wouldn't actually have to pay anything at all.

I assume it's a fringe case but it's still staggering how little thought Unity's upper management put into this massive decision.
Looking stupid became fashionable around 2016.
Europe:

- base salary (not had bonuses very often, guess I might calculate with them, to a lesser degree)

- number of vacation days

- not having to be onsite 5 days per week

- somewhat flexible hours, I am more of a 8-4 person but there are exception for appointments or just taking a very short or very long lunch break, or leaving earlier

- sadly worth mentioning, not having to use Windows on my machine, although it shouldn't count as a benefit

- I used to be big on the education budget but with covid my will to go to conferences has suffered so far (and I don't like online stuff), let's see how this develops

That's the important stuff.

I wouldn't say no to stuff for retirement (depends on your country anyway) or access to discounts for stuff I actually need or want, but not a decision factor.

There are some anti-features I do want to mention:

- if I need to be in the office, my commute and whether I can get lunch (a friend of mine once got a job in a remote industry zone and had to pack his lunch all day, every day)
Haven't read about Pegasus, but what you describe is the behavior of bootkits.
Factory reset does not imply that you erase 100% of your permanent storage: some part of it should contain the system programs to restore the system. If these system programs or the clean OS image are modified, then factory reset won't help

I want my configuration to be guaranteed to halt. Turns out it's hard to not make anything useful accidentally Turing-complete!
Strong agree.

I think it's not entirely unlike programming languages. If I sit down and write out all the features I want from a programming language, I can't have it. They straight-up contradict each other. As a simple example, I want simplicity and a rich type system. Nope. Not gonna happen. Intrinsically at odds with each other. And there are many other such places, more subtle than that but no less real.

Config has the same thing going on. I've made my peace with just doing whatever's convenient in the moment and not stressing about it. It certainly isn't worth bringing in a new syntax my local team has never heard about because it's just the perfect little config syntax. It's very hard for any config syntax to be better enough than what came before to justify adding another tech to the stack.
Yeah, I wonder how it'll ever work, who wears borrowed clothes?

European car manufacturers have (had?) offers where they'll fly you to Sweden (Volvo) or Germany (BMW, Audi), pick up your car at their HQ, have a European road-trip on their dime, return the car to them and they'll take care of shipping it to the US. Apparently it's cheaper than paying taxes importing an unsold car to the US.

If we weren't in the climate end-times, it'd be an interesting idea to show up to Japan and get a curated wardrobe to wear and take home with you.
Botted plays are definitely real, but not typically used like this. Typically the scam for botted plays is either someone straight up selling stream purchases i.e. "buy Spotify 10000 plays for $10" or using them to boost perceived legitimacy. You would do the latter with a typical label scam, where you contact someone on Soundcloud, saying you are XXX Record Label and you want to sign their track, linking to XXX Record Label's Spotify account which shows impressive play numbers. You "sign" the track but then request a $50 "mastering fee" from the artist before release.

In either case, Spotify (usually, afaik) doesn't pay out for the actual botted streams, but it doesn't matter. The money is made by the scammer from the artist.
What’s read and unread? The unread counts don’t seem to update for me without quite some delay or a tab change. Confusing.
But debt and interest are both sound concepts, and both are critical towards building an advanced society. Being able to borrow money from the future is enormously powerful.
For one, because nobody wants to live in a world where their family is motivated to keep them in line. For another, because nobody wants to live in a world where they have to keep that kind of eye on everyone close to them.

And third, because duh -- and I'm not being sarcastic. If your gut says something is repulsive, listen. Your gut is like that for good evolutionary reasons.

And if your gut is silent but everyone else's gut says it's repulsive, listen even harder.
I can only reply that west of Hamburg, Karte means any kind of card.

Credit card is explicitly Kreditkarte.

Sorry if this is a bit ignorant, I don't work in the space, but if a single LLM invocation is considered too slow, how could splitting it up into a pipeline of LLM invocations which need to happen in sequence help?

Same with reliability - you don't trust the results of one prompt, but you trust multiple piped one into another? Even if you test the individual components, which is what this approach enables and this article heavily advocates for, I still can't imagine that 10 unreliable systems, which have to interact with rach other, are more reliable than one.

80% accuracy of one system is 80% accuracy.

95% accuracy on 10 systems is 59% accuracy in total if you need all of them to work and they fail independently.
Oh thank goodness it's not just me. These two introductory sentences gave me an instant headache:

> In the stone age of gamedev (like 7-8y ago) developers were more interested in publishers. Finding new partners was like a supermarket trip within devs’ events, conferences, communities, and checking one own mailbox.

To the writer, if you're reading, please try to imagine your audience and remember they don't know what you know. "More interested in publishers" than what? Than publishers were interested in developers? Than they were interested in self-publishing? This is like...half a thought, from my perspective.

And then you introduce an interaction with "partners." I don't know what that means...partners for whom? Without context, "supermarket trip" carries no meaning as an analogy. At this point, I stopped reading because I got this Markov chain/bad LLM feeling where my cognitive load is pegged at maximum but no meaning is getting through.

Writing is hard. You know your subject 1000x better than your readers (that's why they're reading) so you have to work hard to apply "theory of mind" to try to understand your output as they will. Maybe send a draft to an uninitiated friend or colleague to see if it makes sense to them without explanation.
> No. There is no evidence that people are at an increased risk of cardiac arrest in the days or weeks following the Covid-19 vaccine.

Plenty of people online say otherwise. Including right here on this story. Numerous young and previously healthy people with heart problems post vaccine. Personal accounts abound.

When they bring it up to the experts who are suppose to be tracking this stuff, instead of listening to them and being concerned they are ignored, or gaslit.

Apparently you don't have to enter it into evidence and tell people about it if you just ignore it.

I wish the article explained why this style became popular in the early days of animation. Did it have some aspect that made it particularly easy? Is something about it particularly intuitive such that it was the first thing that artists tried? Does it somehow use similar techniques to still cartoons in a way that later styles do not?

For someone who's completely out of the loop, what changes are the Unity peeps doing to their business model?
Well, again as I stated previously - it is hypocritical and these companies and states should be held accountable. If someone feeds the soil for the next dictator to grow and then all of a sudden there is a political crisis involving said dictator aren't you directly responsible for such crisis?
IMO it's more a meh because for me (and probably 97% of phone users) it's more a piece of historical trivia that the phone's charging cable can also be used for data transfer. It would not surprise me if most iPhones go their lifetime without having data transfered over a hard wire.

So why bother to put the new hotness in if it's not going to matter to almost all users?

What is Linux-Next? Does it have any official standing?

it appears so:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjUX287gJCKDXUY02Wpot1n0V...

i find it surprising that this is not clearly formalized and publicized. even kent, the bcachefs developer could not get a clear answer on whether submission to linux-next was needed or not until now.

on the other hand, it seems like an odd question (for kent) to ask. if i know about the existence of linux-next why would i not just submit there first?

from linus side the problem could be solved by simply only ever pulling from linux-next. that would send a clear message. if it's not in there, then it won't make it into the release. no exceptions.
I think it depends a lot on what you're wanting to do. If you're just playing, you can get surprisingly good results from a 13B model and run it on a fairly basic M1 Mac. And on an M2 Ultra with a lot of RAM you can run some seriously large models at a good speed.

I compromised. Was going to build a PC with a nice graphics card just for LLM work, but in the end decided I didn't want the extra hardware and I could be happy with a powerful laptop that is my daily driver but also capable of running a good size LLM. Ended up with an M2 Max w/96GB of RAM. I can run 70B models (quantized at 4 bits) at a usable pace. Not 35 tokens/sec like this 4090 demo, but 5 tok/sec or so, which is usable for me.
Many things are not useful and can bring about human extinction. Viruses, volcanoes, or asteroid inpacts for instance. So it’s not incoherent on its face.

But I am not even saying that AI is not useful. I am saying that every single time someone pops up on HN to defend AI vs Web3, they only focus on possible upside right now for some people. Even if AI brings 10000x downside at the same time, they would never ever consider mentioning that. But when society adopts a new technology, downsides matter even more than upsides. Loss of income stability and livelihood for many professions, attacks at scale (eg on reputation or truth) by botswarms, etc etc. And that is just what’s possible with current technology.

But most of all, for all its upsides, Web3’s harm is limited to those who voluntarily commit some of their money to a smart contract. AI’s harm on the other hand is far greater and is spread primarily out to those who DIDNT VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE IT or even oppose it. That is not very moral as a society. It may enrich the tech bros further, but just like other tech projects, it will probably come at the expense of many others, especially the working class of society. They will have a rude awakening and will riot. But they aren’t rioting about Web3, because losing money you put at risk in a controlled environment is just not in the same stratosphere.

Expect the government to use AI to control the population more and more as this civil unrest happens. Look to China to see what it would look like. Or Palantir for precrime etc.

If they didn't need them, kind of wish they had been released in a way that'd allow for making an online collection that can be used for apps/websites. Right now all I could find were some Discord servers that'd let you use them on that particular platform or something like that.

There are some pretty awesome libraries for reading and working with Excel files - Aspose.Cells being one I used for years - basically a headless re-implementation of most of Excel usable via an API.
Though I'd prefer no advertisements, I think it's worth distinguishing between targeted ads and those that are simply based on the page content.

If you run a technical blog and run advertisements that fit that theme, I am less adverse to that. I see the tradeoffs there, and can choose to visit your page and see your content knowing the exchange that's being made.

I was responding specifically to your concern that the advertiser would no longer be able to tailor their advertisement to me if deprived of information about me.

(My preference is to directly fund people who make things I enjoy, and I do practice that. I also think most mobile games funded by ads rely on predatory models to be profitable, which isn't really ideal. The whole thing is a mess of misaligned incentives.)
No, you are confusing things - reasons are not necessities.
I’ve been wanting to check my lights and didn’t know about this.

A few years ago we had several cans replaced with solid state LED fixtures and my wife has had a lot of trouble with sleep which roughly correlates. It may be placebo, but it seems like she also may get better sleep when watching an OLED TV vs an LCD iPad. It made me wonder if we should put 460nm filters on our ceiling lights.

I thought they specifically called out USB-C with USB-3. Or was it only for their Pro models?

Edit: I read the edit in the post.
I think you mistook my comment as a defense of capitalism. Although I do believe a system based on private property and individual freedom is superior to the alternative, I wasn’t making that statement. I was just pointing out something at a much lower level: we need debt relief because we don’t live in a perfect world, things go south and we need for people to be able to move on. That’s it.

We could talk about the inequalities built into the system, but that would be a different conversation.
This is only true for the non-Pro models. The flagship models get USB 3.0 speeds, which seems like a fair trade-off, and it seems like it's tied to the USB controller inside the SoC, since the non-Pro models get the same SoC as the iPhone 14 Pros (last gen), it is pretty clear what happened. Nothing really to see here or complain about.
Spacy [0] is a state-of-art / easy-to-use NLP library from the pre-LLM era. This post is the Spacy founder's thoughts on how to integrate LLMs with the kind of problems that "traditional" NLP is used for right now. It's an advertisement for Prodigy [1], their paid tool for using LLMs to assist data labeling. That said, I think I largely agree with the premise, and it's worth reading the entire post.

The steps described in "LLM pragmatism" are basically what I see my data science friends doing — it's hard to justify the cost (money and latency) in using LLMs directly for all tasks, and even if you want to you'll need a baseline model to compare against, so why not use LLMs for dataset creation or augmentation in order to train a classic supervised model?

Love the episode and the guests, but let me point out just how good the hosted pages look at Transistor, the podcast hosting used here. I'm not affiliated, though I run my own shows there, too.

Agreed. I do recommend DBeaver to customers that want a GUI for PostgreSQL. It's better at almost everything and it handles ssh tunnels well. Even certificates.

I don't have any GUI client installed now. I ssh to servers and use psql there. I use psql locally and inside docker containers. I used pg-cli (?) years ago but I probably lost it during one of the various reinstalls (usually one for each Ubuntu LTS, I'm on Debian now) and I forgot about it.
Cybersecurity is pretty much all bad heuristics with the belief that if you use enough of them they average out to an ok determination of maliciousness. It works alright, sometimes.
This is why I only use Open Source... if you build on a proprietary platform, the owner of that platform can change the terms at any time and you are stuck with a massive cost to change, or you just pay the ransom.
You are alway free to use C and C++, and take advantage of the money that all big corporations pump into ISO, GCC, clang, MSVC and proprietary console compilers.

Then again, you're certainly not Unity's target market.

ANFR is not the government. It’s a public agency not directly controlled by the government.

Nobody in the government cares about the iPhone 12. And concerning the current government, I’m pretty sure they are all owning iPhones, they all would love a selfie with Tim Cook and don’t even know what DAS is.
Similar to poor people. I highly recommend Rutger Bregman’s Ted talk about the psychological impact of not having resources on the ability to make good decisions involving resources.

That was a very similar investment landscape when TSMC started up - it’s a real shame that US capitalists are so short sighted. Or maybe they’re too cheap to invest when they have control of government taps via lobbying. Why invest your own capital when you can lobby for government handouts.
It's not average but it's not crazy either if you've got a heavy winter or leather jacket and a couple pairs of heavy jeans. Even just casual button-down Oxford shirts are pretty heavy.

Men's dress clothing is fairly lightweight, as is summer clothing. But men's casual non-summer clothing can actually be surprisingly heavy, depending on your style.
If `thing` contains any cycles then it will explode. E.g.

const thing = {};
thing.self = thing;

or

const thing = [];
thing.push(thing);

If this sounds far-fetched to you just know that all DOM elements have these circular references through (for example) parent / child references.

Also any non-enumerable properties that may have been defined on objects are lost.

Basically the function is only suitable for recently parsed JSON.
Linux is still Linux though.

Having the proper Linux full-sized TCP stack, however slow it is, is probably more robust in more corner-cases (and possibly has more features, like TCP_CORK, that could lead to better performance anyway).

Honestly? I think a microcomputer of 1980s or 1990s level is still important for hobbyists. Rasp. Pi is taking the bulk of it but Rasp. Pi still uses too much power for a lot of tasks IMO.

BeagleBone is good to play with in my experience (1/2 the power usage of Rasp. Pi, and more realtime features like PRUs or even Cortex M4 cores on the more recent ones). So that actually matches my use cases more.

But finding even smaller chips that are proper full sized microprocessors, with a proper application environment / user-mode and applications is still intriguing to me.

----------

You're right. This is very similar to ESP32 on a specs perspective. But... "Proper Linux" is a huge difference and well worth the... what? $15 difference?
