You are conflating allowing riff-raff into the walled garden, with allowing consumers out. That one can install anything on a linux system doesn't make the official repositories less safe.
> We'd 100% still be using Flash if Apple hadn't refused to support it because of the battery and performance issues.

Eh, it was very much on the way out already, and mostly used for things which didn't have brilliant alternatives at the time (e.g. videos) and sites like YouTube had been experimenting with "HTML5 video". Few people really liked Flash (outside of usage for games, which was and remains a valid use case IMO), but it was just used because browsers just didn't support a lot of things, and once HTML5 took off Flash usage dropped. HTML5 killed off Flash.

This is why Apple could get away with just not supporting Flash, which certainly sped up this pre-existing trend, but the idea that "Apple killed off Flash" is a serious misreading of history.
Unbelievably disgusting behavior.

"Unlike the government of Qatar, however, the US government hasn’t apologized, said that what happened was illegal (or would be illegal if the complaint is proven to be true), or referred the TSA checkpoint staff for investigation and possible prosecution.

The TSA hasn’t even tried to dispute the truth and factual accuracy of the complaint.

Instead, the TSA has argued that, even if all of the allegations in Ms. Leuthauser’s complaint are true, the TSA and its employees have absolute impunity. Regardless of what “torts”, even rape, TSA checkpoint staff commit against travelers, the government claims that Federal courts have no jurisdiction to hear lawsuits or consider claims against them."

Don't forget lamb shank.

And yes, it's terribly expensive, all things lamb, and it makes no sense that it's so expensive.
The Spaces feature reminds me of how Movie Clips were used in the old days of Macromedia Flash, where I'd put many different often-independently-running clips overlayed on top of each other to encapsulate different behavior. Of course Spaces sounds even more flexible. Very neat.

I'm not seeing documentation linked in the readme or within the github project. Are there how-tos and tutorials anywhere?
Wow, I should have read their wiki. Goldmine!
In depression treatment trials, placebo effect is growing stronger
I've concluded they're just allergic to money.

Even after it became very clear that this is going to be big they're still slow off the block as if they're not even trying.

e.g. Why not make a list of the top 500 people in AI field and send them cards no strings attached plus as good of low level documentation as you can muster. Insignificant cost to AMD but could move the mindshare needle if even 20 of the 500 experiment and make some noise about it in their circles.

The Icewhale guys did exactly that best as I can tell. 350k USD hardware kickstarter so really lean. Yet all the youtubers even vaguely in their niche seem to have one of their boards. It's a good board don't get me wrong, but there is no way that was organic. Some sharp marketeer made sure the right people have the gear to influence mindshare.

It doesn't seem like it was a continuous process; rather a temporary state.
1. It is just me - is that a red flag?

You are not big enough to drive enough revenue to grow yet. A company takes a lot of work besides a few good ideas, and most people just can’t afford to risk sweat equity. Asking software/engineering people to work for “free”/”shares of nothing” sours most conversations pretty quickly. People with skills usually get scammed once or twice before they learn this lesson.

2. How do I set appropriate milestones for me to reach?

You are currently in the independent-contractor or owner-operator class. If you plan to self bootstrap, than don’t enter into a public market without a war chest over $500k. You will need to hit hard and fast in a very lucrative/narrow niche, then bail-out of the sector before an army of losers show up to compete. A small team of 5 can do a lot, but focus on hard small problems if you want to survive. Recall people don’t make money writing software, but rather reselling the same product/services many times over.

3. I'm in a small town in PNW.

No, your product in hand at a trade-show is all that matters, and a small office for meetings is like $600/month. Again, think about disposable-products and services as you can’t protect anything yet. Strategic truth means not volunteering information that can harm your position. The only difference between a bum in a cheap suit and a CEO is money.

4. What are some ways to do marketing?

Trade-shows and related events where in-person meetings are more probable, and listen to what customers are shopping for at first. Each event is usually worth about 5 months of online marketing in terms of sales leads.

5. I've been inspired by the Startup School videos.

Most startup rants are BS stories of winning a lottery… No one relevant shows up to an event with 450 competitors and talks about what they are planning.

YMMV, =)
Pinafore: An Unusual Programming Language
Hard to be very detailed here without knowing a lot about what you are doing.. However here are some ideas.

1. USA - Stripe for payments and managing subscriptions. They have numerous tools for doing so. Their subscription handling is pretty good at the moment and useful for people who want to cancel etc. The handled processing, fraud etc. Pretty simple to setup with your saas.

2. Talk with an accountant or lawyer for your specifics regarding the state. They differ wildly so you want to make sure you are prepped and handling that from the beginning. Any good accountant should take about an hour to break this all down for you. Worth the $$.

Best of luck.
This is the outcome of streaming video and algorithms picking things for you. Since there was so little choice, shared culture was something you could rely on. Now that everybody essentially has their own version of the internet, it's much harder to find common ground.

I think this is why image macros spread so easily. Even if you haven't seen the source material you can usually get the meaning from the image itself. If I say to a classroom "no, it's the children who are wrong" very few will get it. Maybe the ones who have seen the image macro before[1]. But if I put it on a slide, then everybody understands.

There are physical things that can be done. Currently, people get around video proctors by taping things to their monitor, then the camera can't see. A lockdown browser would assume the person owned exactly one computing device.
I use Cider exclusively when I write Clojure, but it’s not really a match for slime, more of an echo.
I just figured I'd weigh in as a childless single man and say I'd rather not work outside my home either.
This was actually the SECOND time they tried to do TOS shenanigans, which is why they had that dumb git repo of TOS that they tried to stealthily delete before running this change.

Surely they won't do it a third time, right? Especially after this "U-turn" sitll includes all the tech and legal for setting up a "fee for each installation"
Hmm, that makes sense, but I guess the types of hotels wouldn’t be priced as low as the Airbnbs anyway. $30 a night for example is a very cheap hotel rate but a typical Airbnb fare in Central Europe.
There are tons & tons of conditions that do not have easy scans/diagnostic and rely on subtle signals - especially if they are not a binary yes/no but a regression style prediction.

We've picked a lot of the low-hanging simple to extract signals, we need large models to go to the next phase for things like parkinsons, etc.
It was too good to last.

I almost never used it, but I admired the simple interface and the lightweight controls. That giant sucking sound you hear is YouTube hoovering up all that is true and good in the world, and shitting it out on Cory Doctorow's self-driveway.

Okay this is a tangent, but I've got a rate-limited comment budget.

YouTube has ruined my life. I can pretend I'm amused and cool with my Google accounts and how nicely they treat me, but YouTube is a giant social media black hole that rips out my heart and shows it to me before putting it back in again.

My final teevee broke, over 8 years ago, and I was relieved to be rid of that monstrosity we know as OTA broadcast. I swore I'd never watch teevee again, and I was prepared to be mentally healthy. YouTube destroyed every last ounce of fortitude I had.

I used to have a nice UBO setup and blocked all YT ads. Of course I eventually just had to let'em all roll. So I watch less toxic influencers and more nonconsensual trash scams. I share YT links with my non-Google friends. I post YT links at work. I post YT all over HN. Everyone is sick of my videos, especially me.

There oughtta be a 12-step group.
Namecheap: Price Increase on 203 TLDs
OpenCL isn't very useful now that we have Vulkan. Its biggest advantage is that there exist C++ compilers for its kernels. But AMD's OpenCL runtime inserts excessive memory barriers not required by the spec (they won't fix this due to Hyrum's Law) and Vulkan gives you more control over the memory allocation and synchronization anyways. If we had better Vulkan shader compilers, OpenCL would serve basically no purpose, at least for AMD hardware.
They're talking about consumer cards, which is the point. You can learn CUDA off any consumer nvidia card and have it translate to the fancier gear, that's part of why nvidia has so much mindshare.

Eg I can write my cuda code with my 3090s, my boss can test it on his laptop's discrete graphics, and then after that we can take the time to bring it to our V100s and A100s and nothing really has to change.
It would most definitely still be alive. Source: I worked for a company whose web UI was 100% Flash/Shockwave.

If Steve Jobs hadn't publicly come against Flash and by extension forced the hand of everyone else, I'm pretty sure they'd still be using Flash just because change is hard.

The company went so far as to ship a specific browser to customers that could still run Flash instead of spending resources to rewrite the crappy UI =)
Hey HN, I just wanted to add that while working at other Contract Management startups, I've always wanted to create something that is simple enough to help people reach agreements more quickly than before. While we're in beta, we would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Go inspect the source and see for yourself, the UI is normal HTML.
I've figured out what causes it - the navigation system on older versions of iOS and macOS was broken. I'm releasing an update to fix it now and it will be with you as soon as Apple has reviewed it

There are a lot of mistakes that make it in to common code when people only test with one architecture.

Also, the environmental cost of manufacturing new hardware is often greater than even a decade of running less efficient, older hardware longer.

To add to that, Alphas and older Sun systems are actually proper server hardware. There are differences that you may never learn about in the x86 world. I've been running an AlphaServer DS25 for years now, and it's worlds better hardware quality than any x86 server product you can buy now.
How does this differ from CUDA’s dynamic parallelism, which lets you launch kernels from within a kernel?
No, you are Danny Devito. Here eat a snickers.
>False dichotomy.

No it's not. Currently all the apps that want to be available on Apple's platform have to submit to Apple's rules. If alternative app stores are allowed, they won't have to do that. As a consumer I like the current state of matters more.

>Also, that misses all the other areas

I'm reacting only to the App Store part. I'm all for opening electronic wallet or allowing browser engines into App Store. Those are off topic in this subthread.

>Why? That only applies to "gatekeepers".

I don't see how PS/Xbox/Tesla are any less of a gatekeeper than Apple.
I had it at 16, and like you I was down for a month. Barely could do anything - I don't recall bad mental effects but physically I was zero energy for a long time. I feel like my constitution never really recovered. Even today I get bouts of illness unlike anyone else my age or in my family, and I'm otherwise a very healthy person (healthy weight, work out regularly, etc.).

I never really thought about it until the long COVID discussions and learning more about things like this, but it really is something people barely understand today.
Yandex open sourced all of its code a few months back when it was all stolen and leaked.
This bugged me when I first switched, too. I highly recommend going with the flow and doing it the Apple way for a while. I was frustrated at trying and failing to make my Mac act just like Linux. It's bad at that.
"Monopoly: the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service."

Given that there are things such as Walmart.com, eBay, Shopify, and many hundreds of other online commerce stores, they are self-evidently not a monopoly. In fact, they don't even have a majority share of eCommerce in the US.

And they also don't have majority share in cloud services.

Nor do they have a monopoly in eBooks.

I did not say they don't have monopoly power, I said, they are not a monopoly.

(Other than obvious things such as "Amazon products"..., in which case every manufacturer or retailer is a monopoly in their own products.)
>when have you last used it to order groceries or new furniture? Apple would love to get a cut of those purchases, by the way.

You can, though. There's no particularly convenient way to do most of those things, but that's largely because of manufacturer limitations. Nothing stopping you from using the browser on your Switch to go do instacart.com, tho.

>Starting by dealing with the devices that have the highest impact on the largest number of people

Why would this need to be addressed so singularly? Is that how the EU approaches most problems? It seems pretty sensible that they'd just regulate computing devices to allow for this sort of thing and then be able to pretty easily bring into compliance any who don't. Isn't that more or less what they did with the GDPR? It seems like regulating this would be even easier as non-compliance would be entirely visible to the consumer.
I do NOT agree with the next paragraph, I just want to write what people probably are probably thinking about this (and maybe someone can correct me maybe?):

I think people who justify weapons trade they do it because it's "for protection" and in case of selling weapons to countries it's for "defense" and/or "in case of war", whereas with 0days and spyware their use takes place outside of the limits. i.e. when in peace (see Greece Predator story).

With that being said, I think that's idiotic as it almost justifies wars. Plus the sellers just get to pick who is the "good guy" (I mean, they don't want to look bad, right?)
I'm not actually allergic (AFAIK) but I dread walking buy a perfumed candle/soap store. They should have to be sold from tents like fireworks.
This works except when it doesn’t: my experience is that it seemed like the JVM is fundamentally static at its core in a way that makes it hard to implement a CL-style environment using Clojure’s hosting strategy.

Boot build comes really close, here, but the community never really adopted it.
> When I hear 'it works on ubuntu but not on distro X', it makes me wonder why ubuntu devs didnt post the fixes upstream.

I think this usually doesn't really have to do with Canonical at all, but with third party developers only testing against and building for Ubuntu.
First off thank you for purchasing and supporting me. Did you enter your OpenAI key in settings? In what way is it not working? I’d love to help. We can chat in X DMs if you wish I’m @daltonedwards. (Make sure you’re uploading intelliplugin.zip in dashboard on upload plugin page)
>was that the recruiter used my LinkedIn profile at the interview instead of asking for a resume

I have never seen this. Most of the time, not only do they not look at your linkedin profile (because like it's usually a reflection of the CV), they want you to fill in a custom built 'Resume builder' on their 2000 era site. As you can imagine, this is as crap as can be and doesn't work correctly.

I just give up at this point.
I know I'm not the only one who does this. You see some weird reference on reddit to an obscure idea. And you see it again on another social media platform just a few hours or days later. And then, you notice it pop up again and again in the coming months. And you get that impression, that the person referencing it subsequently, like yourself, saw the earlier reference.

But it doesn't stop there. A few weeks later a completely independent factoid pops up. Independent though it is, it's related somehow to the other. And you wait and you wait, and someone slaps them together like the world's worst "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" Reese's Cup commercial.

Crudely and imperfectly, you're tracing these memes as they leap from brain to brain. Like an epidemiologist. You can see the outlines of the chains from person to person, even though almost certainly a link here or there is invisible to you.

Just the idea of tracing the memes gives hints at why some live and some die. Certainly ancient Hurrians, whoever in the hell they were, weren't able (for the most part) to craft memes that could survive... little of their ideas were written, and some disaster or conquest ended their civilization. Ours are likely no less ephemeral... the Carrington Event that wipes out my comment history might already be on its way. But some ideas and stories just happen to land on barren soil. The listener finds them boring. Or has many other more important stories they prefer. Or, with our disjointed way of communicating now days, the message in a bottle just winds up on a desolate shore.

What the link's author talks about is somewhat different, I think. He wonders why the crows that collect shiny baubles prefers one shiny rock over another. It's a fashion thing. This story or that idea seems "cooler", it coheres well with the listener's personality, or makes them stand out when they're trying to woo the opposite sex.
I've been working in CSS for over 20 years. I know it very well. Tailwind is also my absolute most favorite technology to come along in a long time. I would even argue to use it effectively you also need to understand CSS well. The smart steering analogy doesn't jive with me at all.

I think their UI is react but the actual drawing canvas is WebGL.
I don't really have a problem with this stuff. It's memeable (some great photoshop artists there; always good when the company has no photo of their actual product) and not that cheap, but I think of Amazon as an overpriced Shenzhen market and this stuff is essential to maintaining that vibe.
Net neutrality is, quite literally, treating all packets of data the same, not caring about what type of data it is. An analogy that says it’s like UPS, because UPS will ship any box and it doesnt care about what’s in it, is a bad analogy because UPS will gladly refuse to ship many things—-it DOES care what’s in the box.

Yikes. Are people trying to manipulate these results? Unhinged
> Do you think some other seller falsely "reported" me, claiming my copies my be counterfeit

That seems the most likely reason. I am sure there are services to automate these kind of blackhat actions.
People have been using their GPGPUs for decades on a variety of scientific applications, and there are all kinds of hybrid and multi-device frameworks that exist (often supporting multiple backends).

The difference is that it didn't get a lot of love as part of the overhyped python LLM movement.
When this goes through, you can be 100% sure there will be a Meta-only iOS store along with a Google iOS store and all their apps will move there.

After that if you want to use apps to access any Google or Meta service, you'll need to get it from their store - that doesn't have any pesky limitations on user profiling or stupid guidelines for privacy.
> Isn't it vastly more important to ensure free speech on the internet than the speed of your netflix stream

If they can slow down your Netflix stream, they can also impair others' access to your self-hosted blog. I can't think of a more direct, fundamental threat to free speech than that. It's the same as the power company turning off service to your printing press.
Deepfake election risks trigger EU call for more generative AI safeguards
I am intrigued on how this would perform on astronomical data.

If anyone is not aware there are many periodic phenomena in astronomy - e.g. variable stars which can have periods from minutes to hundreds of days.

The description of this library sounds like it's very tied to the human world - talking about yearly, weekly and daily seasonality.

[Weirdly though, we do sometimes see variability on 'human' timescales in astronomical data series. If maintenance is carried out weekly on a Monday that can add a signal into the data through missing datapoints.]

(Blog author here). Thanks for the question. In this case the index for both DiskANN and pgvector HNSW is small enough to fit in memory on the machine (8GB RAM), so there's no need to touch the SSD. We plan to test on a config where the index size is larger than memory (we couldn't this time due to limitations in ANN benchmarks [0], the tool we use).

To your question about RAM usage, we provide a graph of index size. When enabling PQ, our new index is 10x smaller than pgvector HNSW. We don't have numbers for HNSWPQ in FAISS yet.

Better in what sense?

How would you characterize the differences?
