There is no courses being sold here though. Isn't this part of being transparent?
HN often complains about non-transparent pricing in SaaS pricing pages but now complains about an indie dev telling all about the revenues and the relevant metrics that lead to this revenue?

I am baffled.
Awesome experience. The World keeps spinning thanks to good people.
In 2015, Spain amended its law to specifically protect its citizens from this type of activity (known as "pseudopornography"). See https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2015-3439.

be careful that the habit to watch tv while eating doesn't turn into the habit of eating while watching tv.

i am running into these too. i think it is mainly discipline and difficulty to focus, wandering thoughts. i don't think it has anything to do with wanting to multitask. i don't want to multitask (except for the eat/tv thing) but i get distracted by thoughts and those are what make me do a web search or check something else.
Why would someone use this instead of quaternions? Keeping in mind I already know that quaternions are a special case of geometric algebra.

YMMV, which is kind of the entire point here. Personally I found lectures to be a great way to learn, given the right teacher. A big key for me was to stop taking notes so that I could actually focus on what was being said instead. Another was, for lack of a better word… humanity. Video lectures just don't capture me the same way at all.
Interesting, but unless you understand every piece of software running and how they interact and are deployed, running this sounds like a devops and security nightmare.
I'm wondering if there's a tool that converts TypeScript into JavaScript that has JsDoc type annotations and preserves API docs? Then you wouldn't need to include anything else. Let the application minify if they choose.
Interesting article, but the premise is wrong. You don't need 720GB ram to load the model. The author claims that you need to first load up the model (360GB) and then the load the weights (another 360 GB) and the replace the first with the latter.
HF allows initializing empty models that do not take up any space using accelerate, especially so that you don't run into that problem.

Still, 180B is a best to load up.
I'd respectfully disagree on VS 6. It was OK for its time, but hardly a piece of art, in my experience.

Please excuse me copying the relevant portion from my other comment.

VS 6's support of C++ back in 2005 wasn't that great, at leat the way I remember it now.

Code navigation was very primitive, and you were lucky if it didn't consider the code too complex to offer any navigation around it at all.

Its built-in debugger often wouldn't let you inspect a string's content because it was just another pointer from the debugger's perspective.

And there was a bug, where the editor would slow down so much it would be littery unusable -- e.g., it'd take a couple seconds to react to a key stroke. The reason was it kept a file with the workspace's (solution in today's terms) code metadata and that file grew too big over time. So you had to remember to delete it regularly.

But VS 6 had a great plugin -- Visual Tomato, if memory serves -- that made things so much better in terms of code navigation/refactoring/etc.

> He was found guilty because multiple people in his life testified he had a history of violently shaking and screaming at a child for crying.

IANAL, but wouldn't that be against the rule that character evidence cannot be used by the prosecution (unless in countering character evidence from the defence)?

Specifically, I believe what you describe would be in contravention of the following: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_404

> (a) Character Evidence.

> (1) Prohibited Uses. Evidence of a person’s character or character trait is not admissible to prove that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character or trait.

> [...]

> b) Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts.

> (1) Prohibited Uses. Evidence of any other crime, wrong, or act is not admissible to prove a person’s character in order to show that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character.

> (2) Permitted Uses. This evidence may be admissible for another purpose, such as proving motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident.

If you're confident that it's not bits, then it must be bytes. So that's not a mystery. Not that it would affect the meaning of the article anyway.

So that just leaves the nitpick about powers of ten and two. Why do you think it matters? The numbers are rounded anyway, so... it's both. Enjoy.

> The people downvoting you haven't used the older AMD Windows GPU drivers

The exact reason why I stuck with Nvidia since buying a 1080. I got it for the perf, but I stayed with Nvidia for the drivers.

Looks like the VMoo website is still there but is having... issues. But this is the last release. If you have a high DPI display you may find it slightly lacking, even with Windows compatibility settings applied. Which is a shame because VMoo was always the best client.

Most GUI-users use Mudlet (https://www.mudlet.org/) these days. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it lacks proper local editing support. If you're feeling adventurous you can work around that with something like MUDMixer (https://github.com/tms88/mudmixer) to proxy local editing.
Yeah - the 7.2mm is only unsold homes currently on market. There are entire districts in China with empty skyscrapers empty of humans but full of highly leveraged speculators. Once upon a time I was involved in a trading business focused on mortgages and real estate debt and the analytics around Chinese property bubbles were eye watering 15 years ago, and as I understand it it’s only gotten worse. I couldn’t guess if it was in the scale quoted or not, but it was in the “OMG” scale, and this was coming off the US real estate bubble.

But the article probably could have done better quantifying the unused and partially completed units better. It’s lazy reporting to quote the official stats and not the estimates, which are certainly available.

Technology has alas eroded property rights. We no longer own our vehicles, our cars, our tvs: anything with a computer now has an elaborate contract outlining whatever rights the seller seems to grant us, which can be changed at any time.

Anti-circumvention law applied massive legal weight to this, preventing the world from delving in & understanding the various devices around us. Which is now often defined by millions of lines of code, compiled down to devices, anyhow.

Whether the seller is free to create arbitrary restrictions & constraints on usage during sale, or whether the buyer is free to use purchases as they may is a huge tension here.

And there have been so few corrective actions or regulations to tilt things back in people's favor. GDPR a small collection of rights to data, but does nothing to help enlighten us as to the machines & their functioning. This all feels so infernal, trapped by law which doesn't let us look, trapped by machines where the mechanism inside is often inaccessible & invisible.
Yeah, the bizarrely apologetic tone of this article was a real turn off. I don’t think any reasonable person would classify text editing on mobile as anything less than needing a full overhaul. Also, whose feelings are we sparing here by being apologetic for criticizing it?
I mean even if you are going to make a self-hosted site for this, like, there's software you can use where you're not using raw html. I use a static site generator that takes markdown. I don't find markdown too hard to write on mobile, as long as I don't need images.
Such lazy reporting, what does that even mean? 90% of companies will require what percentage of their employees to RTO for what percentage of the time? Is it all employees all the time? Or some, only part time?
I think lectures as a form of teaching were invented in the middle ages, before the printing press was available. The whole university might have owned only one copy of each book, so learning by reading it wasn't an option for most students. So the professor, who had read the book before, would lecture them on its contents.

People are afraid to be an early victim of the next pandemic - so lots of people who were on transit before covid are driving today. In Seattle I think we have more car commuters to downtown now than we did in 2019 with far fewer in the office - because in 2019 less than half of downtown workers drove alone.

I've been using nvim in termux on foldable phone since I've bought phone in that form factor. It works great, I'm using "unexpected keyboard" as input method for faster special symbols access. It works pretty well. Good enough for me to program on the go.
I agree that to put someone on a pedestal simply by dint of their
gender, race or sexuality does a disservice to that group. Would love
to see a version of this story in which her "just happening to be a
fabulously beautiful film star" is a marginal remark.

But isn't it the same when we lionise sociopathic, charismatic men [0]
who "never cared about norms" but end up enshitifying the world with
their reckless engineering and cocaine addled moral ambivalence?

As a "man in tech who eschews the norms" I'm a little uncomfortable
that my fellow computer scientists might hold up Hank Asher as an
example of anything but a criminal whose mindset is the exemplar of
everything we should seek not to be as ethical hackers.

Is there a double standard when a woman with talent, charm and beauty
is seen to succeed _despite_ those qualities, whereas a man who is a
"lovable rogue" is claimed to succeed because of them?

I've noticed that there's a dearth of good, high-resolution wallpapers.

I have 3x cropped 4K monitors side by side (11520 x 1600 resolution). Less-than-1:1-resolution photos stick out like a sore thumb, and I haven't been able to find much with this amount of pixels on the web. To get this many pixels, I resorted to stitching my own panoramas.

The 100MP Fuji GFX's have just enough horizontal resolution, but there aren't many full-res shots online from those cameras. I should probably just rent one at some point...
While true, at present I have no reason to think the extra complexity is important in any way that matters.
> it uses code point semantics, which is almost worse than UTF-16 semantics

What's so bad about storing a unicode string as a series of codepoints? UTF-8 is also a series of codepoints in essence.

> When you look at newer languages, they almost always choose something more sensible, and UTF-8 is almost always at the heart of it.

I still think that UTF-8 for memory is a bad idea. For example, it wastes a lot of bits to make sure that a string can be decoded starting from an arbitrary byte offset. This is generally a desirable property for files and some networking applications, but it's an absolute waste of space when used in memory.
Even if it's a thing, the idea that a teacher should take on the role of psychologists and figure out a child's optimal learning style should be preposterous to anyone with common sense.

It might work in combination with a software suite, with e-readers getting cheaper and more capable, and easily lasting through a school day, it's an option.
Society has made a God out of science. Don't get me wrong, science is a fantastic invention and should be taken seriously. Anyone who dismisses science without thought or reason is crazy. But as you saw during the pandemic and through this, we've lost some sense of reason when a flawed human in a white coat says something. We need to take what they say seriously but with a grain of salt that they get things wrong.
...have to see a man about a horse...
My first thought when I saw this was that it would be some matrix rip. Turns out I wasnt far off lol.
You describe using disability as a tool:

>it's the only tool we have that has enough moral and legal backing to make companies deliver more value

I describe your use of disability as a moral and legal baseball bat (tool). Speak softly and carry a big stick: the big stick is disability protections.

Using disability as an moral and legal offensive weapon incentivises companies to erode the rights of disabled people and prevent the advancement of new rights. Sure, some product somewhere is temporarily friendlier to disabled people: and the world will remain blind to the advantages that disabled people can bring to the table. The system will continue to design poor products with a veneer of usability, technically meeting moral and legal requirements instead of failing like it should. Nothing will change for the better.

Disability as a baseball bat is simply the only tool that you're familiar with using, because it is easy to use.
Is this a troll question or do you test and publish your code only every Friday?
Please be careful with calling it that.

Surveys differ a bit on this but somewhere between 3-10% of women report having been strangled by an intimate partner at some time in their lives, this may be 20% higher when non-intimate partners are also factored in. So like “one in 12” is not crazy-talk. Even if your dev-team right now is all-male, your design docs may live to see you diversify and you probably have female non-technical coworkers who will overhear you talking about it. It's not worth taking a one in 12 chance of potentially reminding them of past domestic abuse, I get that it's not your intention but.

Yes I get that it's by analogy to the “strangler fig,” but ,

(a) it was a crappy analogy in the first place[1],

(b) you can just call it the “strangler-fig pattern” and the extra syllable makes it like 20% more rhythmic, 10% more clear and 50% less alienating without sacrificing any googlability as this is what the cloud companies call it,

(c) you didn't really need the analogy, “migrate” was already the established term of art for this pattern, means the same thing and it is already verb-ified for you! “Our first priority is to migrate all our current requests,” vs “our first priority is to use our strangler-pattern to subsume the current requests under the new architecture,” whyyyyyyyyy. So you're gonna use the word “migrate” anyway and if used precisely[3] there is nothing added by evoking the humble strangler-fig, apart from, you know, accidentally sounding positive with regard to domestic abuse.

1. Taking the definition as “incremental replacement behind a proxy until the original system eventually dies,” literally the only thing that is correct about the analogy is “eventually dies”. Even if you are calling a tree’s contribution to the leaf canopy its “feature set” and the developer attention is its “nutrients” to try to save the analogy, you come to the conclusion that strangler figs do “rapid feature development” at first, rather than trying to rewrite the system. And this early development is symbiotic rather than parasitic [2]. Strangler figs don't do the strangler pattern, they do Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.

2. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13199-017-0484-5

3. So, “migrate functionality” is popular but very imprecise, you want to stay that you are migrating the requests, or the request-handling, or the users, to the new platform. The word functionality should probably also be thrown in the trash, it literally adds three clumsy syllables to a word which is already its synonym, the “function” of a thing is already its “functionality” and if you really wanted to not use the mathematical word function, just talked about its “features” or “feature-set.”

Not having a global menu is a terrible hindrance. Understandable with the original iPhone screen size, but definitely not today with the phablets we all carry.

He was already on parole for a previous violent felony. The police literally arrested him at the scene of the murder where he was half naked and covered in the blood of the victims. He also admitted to having committed statutory rape on the 15 year old that he murdered.

Just about every single person on death row will suddenly claim to have found yet another round of evidence proving innocence when their previous appeal doesn’t work out. It’s a classic delaying tactic, and in this case I agree with the Supreme Court.
Question for astrophocists. Does frame dragging originate at the event horizon or at the singularity/ringularity? If it's the latter, does it mean that there's a limit in size for black holes above which this phenomenon becomes negligible?

It feels similar to the counter intuitive notion that tidal forces are more extreme when closer to a small black hole.
They do and it’s half air.
Yeah, we still had some older folk that used outhouses so I wonder if it was through that. I've also considered dogs because we had so many that roamed free. We did grow our food from time to time.

Stock photography doesn't pay well at all, so I can understand why some want to give it away for free.

I have a 7k USD gear, shot thousands of pictures, and put the 50 best ones on Shutterstock, I had 5 sales, and 3 were for one picture. I made a total of $0.89 USD and am still well bellow the withdrawal threshold.

It was not even worth the time uploading and annotating the 3 pictures that eventually sold.
A thousand messages. A top public servant tried to influence governments
I am indeed suggesting exactly this, though there are different layers of anonymity.

Such as continent, nation, state/city, down to the individual.

But I also mean that everyone knows who the others are from the start of a conversation. Not so much as a punitive measure after-the-fact.

My question is this: Rather than censoring, why aren’t we asking whether/how misinformation can be directly and visibly attributed to the sources peddling the misinformation?
I don't think anything we do today will be the same in a few years. The JS ecosystem is a hack on top of a hack. Typescript itself is a third party add-on usually compiled by a fourth-party builder integrated by a fifth-party bundler. There's no guarantee of stability there, and odds are the whole stack will continue to mutate.

I used to love AngularJS v1, but that died a quick death and v2 was much more complicated. React took over but was such a limited library in comparison. I'm still hoping it gets superceded by a more holistic framework. Next is headed that way, but it still doesn't handle some things out of the box (like redux toolkit fetch and slice stuff).

I also really miss the awesome power and integration of Visual Studio (not VSCode, the stripped down editor, but the full fledged one). That was such a nice environment to work in, especially building WYSIWYG WinForms GUIs that is directly tied to code. You can right click anything and change its attributes or jump to source. Like Dreamweaver but way more powerful.

At the end of the day, technologies are just fashions. Nothing we do today is fundamentally different than 20 years ago. We run apps or web pages on devices. The languages and stacks ultimately don't matter, the product and UX do.

I don't think it makes sense to become deeply specialized in any particular stack unless it's evergreen, something like C++. Maybe Java, if you like legacy enterprise baggage. But otherwise it's always just chasing fashion trends...

Exhausting, I think. Part of the reason I'm looking for an exit out of this field. We keep reinventing the wheel every few years for no real reason. Just some other huge company or tiny startup wanting their turn.
A lot of this may come from the due process clause of the US Constitution. You have to ask everyone what they think for years before you can move forward.

Amazingly, some of it also comes from union contracting requirements. There’s some good reporting on NYC transit issues - hiring a dozen people to do the job of two, for instance.
Serious question, how is she “-American”, she lived and worked in the States in the later part of her life, but her roots aren’t American?
It’s an interesting take. I had to stop and think for a second “is there anything I prefer a phone for”, and yeah the only positive of using a phone (for me) is portability and multi functionality (being a de facto camera/camcorder/recorder).
