This is mostly useless. Essentially a toy. I am not that much hyped by AI tools either, but come on. This is clearly the future of human-computer interaction.

This is likely how we'll communicate with information systems: throw some hand-wavy question at it, and refine your query based on its output using natural language until you find the answer (or even the question) you were looking for.
I used the Amazon tool recently to get a very particular type of screw. It was really easy to find exactly what I wanted.

Then I still got the wrong part delivered. It doesn’t matter how great the selection tool is, the rule is always: garbage in, garbage out.

> I'd argue the differences are not just style changes and even "just style" changes are not trivial.

Op did all the research and multiple implementations of a fix. Ellerman refactored the fix to be simpler, but the effect is the same.

> The kernel style guide specifically mentions to avoid using conditional compilation where possible, and as a result, Michael Ellerman's patch is far cleaner.

It more seems like he knew about IS_ENABLED and Miculas didn't, because he uses `IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC32)` instead of Miculas' `#ifdef CONFIG_PPC32`. Besides, Ellerman's changes are all inside `#ifdef CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS` blocks anyway so I'm not sure this was a major consideration. Using `IS_ENABLED` gets you 90% of the way to the "cleaner" patch, and in a ~30 line patch I don't know if it's worth golfing further.

Miculas' patch: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2022-June/24...

Ellerman's patch: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220609133245.573565-1-mpe@elle...

EDIT:

Oh he also got a code review giving him exactly these tips [0]. IDK, getting real "I don't want to coach this rookie, I'll just do this myself, thanks for the tip" vibes from Ellerman here. Maybe that's valid, but it seems like not a wonderful way to keep people interested in kernel dev.

> The four line patch isn't a ton of work once you've done the RCA and besides it required work by the maintainer to get it to pass

the debugging *is* the work! the work for which he went uncredited, that's the crux of the whole thing. he got a Reported-By which just means he ran into a bug and told someone about it, not that he root caused it, wrote a patch and bothered to submit it.
There's also the normalization of seeing and hearing awful things. After a while of being exposed to the wretches of humanity you begin to see the signals for the wretches everywhere.

Speak for yourself. I've been dropped on group rides many times. It's no big deal. You would have to be really fragile to get upset about that.

Clubs or bike stores will often have A/B/C road rides for different ability levels. Usually only the A ride is a drop ride, while the B and C rides have designated regroup points.
This would be a game changer if they had something for image generation as well. Oh well, maybe it's coming soon as the page says it's just a small preview. The best part for me personally is it's available on all plans and pricing looks good too.

OT but if cloudflare fixes their false positives on showing random captchas when I'm trying to browse the net on VPN they will surely be one of my favorite companies.
This won't look as good when you include all the boilerplate which defines those methods, and which needs to be repeated or otherwise included for every "value" type. You don't have to worry about this when they are pure utility functions.

I used to be a personal support worker for adults with cognitive and physical disabilities.

In some sense, I was a non-AI solution that enabled them to do their activities of daily living.

I'm pretty sure they'd have preferred not to be dependent on me, though. I imagine that's true here, too--no more need to edit your behaviour/filter your thinking/navigate interpersonal stuff just to do something minor.

Hey HN!

I'm thrilled to introduce Bonboarding - our answer to user onboarding challenges faced by many web app developers and product managers.
Recycled plastics only make sense to use in products that will actually be recycled themselves.

Lego is essentially a forever product. Not millenia, but compared to plastic destined for waste (packaging, cutlery, bags, etc etc).
The article makes the opposite claim. Rather than a seemingly endless cycle of price growth, the article claims that the cost of attendance has fallen in constant dollars. However, the nominal cost of attendance, which bears no relationship to the actual cost, because it's offset by pro forma need-blind merit-blind "scholarships", has risen, because the top-line nominal tuition cost is a market sorting mechanism among schools.
> it does make you stay isolated in your room in front of a screen for 8 hours every day.

That's true for tech work regardless. Having said that, most remote workers do have a better social life from what i've seen. Many are even able to start a family - a luxury for tech workers.
That doesn't seem to be the reason why they're abandoning the plan. It seems like instead it's because they would have to change the entire manufacturing chain, and therefore increase their carbon footprint by changing to recycled plastics instead of decreasing it.

> The “level of disruption to the manufacturing environment was such that we needed to change everything in our factories” to scale up recycled PET use, he said. “After all that, the carbon footprint would have been higher. It was disappointing.”

> Tamil Nadu has installed wind power capacity of 7.9 GW which is more than Denmark at 5.5 GW.

Having been to both I can say that, although there’s more wind generation per unit area in Denmark - that 5.5 GW is spread over a country that’s roughly 1/3rd the area of Tamil Nadu — I was dodging turbine blades everywhere I went and India is definitely doing an impressive job increasing renewables, and I’m hopeful that will substantially improve. My problem with the headline is that it implies that the overall emissions rate has dropped that substantially, but what’s dropped is the emissions rate per unit of economic growth… which is good, but the effect on the overall rate trend is severely dampened when you note the speed at which the GDP is growing. In a period of high enough GDP growth the lowest currently attained emissions density rate would still result in a net increase of emissions… the headline should just be more precise.

That's just more evidence that it's a political ploy rather than a constitutional requirement.

No matte screen option on Apple though.
But it's full of limitations last I tested.

No webcam, battery drains because power management is poor/non existent, no external displays depending on the connection and good luck with the touchbar, connectivity is limited like no thunderbolt or hdmi support, no sound, no screen brightness control, and I didn't manage to pair any bluetooth devices.

Things will gradually improve hopefully but I don't have time to navigate minefields at the moment. Not to mention if things go south you need another mac, faith and need to wipe all data without chance to recover any of it.
You proposal has the built-in assumption that the central value that the university provides is the certificate at the end. I don't think this is true: a much more important value that at least good universities provide is having been exposed to the whole intellectual environment most of the days for years.
that's not entirely true. Did funds lots of very interesting research that enhances quality of life for citizens.

But yes an absurd amount of capital gets spent on, well, defense!
From the article:
'“Mutton is not an accessible protein option in the US,” says Megan Wortman, executive director of the American Lamb Board, an industry group aimed at expanding the market for domestic sheep products.'

You would think she would know it actual mutton is widely available, no? Maybe it's legal to label mutton as lamb, but not done often, so finding actual mutton, labeled however, is still hard?
It’s worth looking into Vilfredo Pareto and Gaetano Mosca, both from the Italian school of elitism. The overruling theme being a well connected, organized minority will always rule over a disorganized and disinterested majority.

Machiavelli too had many interesting ideas, in particular how the elite moved through the various forms of government. A monarch decays into a despot and is eventually overtaken by an aristocracy of nobles which decays into democracy over a few generations which has a very short life and takes on the darker side of “rule by few” as an oligarchy. Eventually they become so decadent that a populist government (rule by many, the darker side of democracy) overtakes them and soon after a new prince, or monarch “of the people” is born and the cycle continues possibly over many hundreds of years.

Looking at America I think we are in the oligarchical phase and pushing hard towards a populist whom will reform the government dramatically.
If AI continues to get better it won't just be you who's in trouble.

However, keep in mind that these are cherry-picked. If someone just took that output and stuck onto a website, it'd be a pretty horrible website. There's always going to be someone who manages the code and actually interacts with the AI, so there will still be some jobs.

And your boss isn't going to be doing any coding. I'm pretty sure that role is still loaded and they'll still be managing people rather than coding, and maybe sometimes engaging with an AI.

Another prediction: I'm pretty sure specialists are going to be significantly more important as your job will be to identify the AI's deficiencies and improve on it.
GPT-3 requires 700 gigabytes of GPU RAM. I'm looking at my cheapest computer components retailer listing a 48 gigabyte GPU at $5k. So to run the previous generation of GPT would cost me about $70k right now. When do you think I can expect to run GPT-4 on my consumer $device? :)
Yes, this is what happens when hardware vendors have control and drive a market segment.

Software is not a source of revenue, it is an expense.

In a capitalist economy, expenses tend to be minimized whenever possible. Hardware vendors have little incentive to spend money on software updates.

By the way, hardware vendors *love* open source. It is effectively what facilitates their control in many cases.
Or future employers. All the wrangling about "this guy should be selfless and just be happy he made the world a better place" is bonkers. He lobbied his job to give him time to put in a bunch of highly technical work to improve the kernel. Would it really be so bad to acknowledge him as a contributor? How in the world is his work not a contribution?
I've used a couple different "1800 compact"-ish keyboards for more than a decade now, where you use NumLock to toggle the right-hand side keys between a numpad and arrow keys + Del/Ins/Home/etc. It gives you most of the keypadless benefit.

First one I had was a CoolerMaster Storm Quickfire TK, now I'm on a Keychron K4V2. I actually liked the TK better, but it's completely worn out and I couldn't seem to find a similar layout on a new keyboard.
This entire attitude around denying attribution is unreal. I see it in industry all of the time, especially now that I'm in gamesdev. People pull out all of the stops to prevent certain people or even certain disciplines from receiving credit for their efforts. It's abysmal.
Oh nice, though I imagine the CO2 reduces quite a bit as well.
This is applying a font for an entire window/frame/buffer, right? Not applying two fonts for different characters within the same buffer.
Or... They recommended a device to their family, friends - those who need support from them - that is closed intentionally?

For many people this will be a support nightmare, and opens new avenues to problems (little cousin installing spyware on mums phone because he wanted free gbux, vulnerable older family member told by scammer to install alt store rootkit, etc).

Your comment is pretty closed minded and fairly rudely toned. You should probably read things back before you post them.

I think this is also possible without needing to use odd timing specs for the monitor. But you'd need to do lots of extra math when generating the data to display on the screen.

You would of course need to know the exact pixel timings - which probably vary quite a bit between different manufacturers.
Being kind to another human being because you want to encourage them to keep doing what they are doing, Favor trading, Compromise.

This is called diplomacy.

Anyway. This story is about the opposite of that.

Diplomacy is a choice, usually a trade-off, in favoring a longer-term relationship. Failure to even want to be diplomatic shows the Linux maintainer thinks this person is worthless as a human being on a long-term basis wrt kernel maintenance. And that's fine, but don't be surprised when that contributor is offended and proves you right.
I’d say your comment is even more dismissive, because at least the one you replied to actually makes a point where yours is just a personal attack
It will be interesting to see if they can undercut OpenAI themselves on the cost for running Whisper in the cloud.
Agreed. You basically get paid in reputation, trustworthiness, and maybe even beer/brownie/pizza points.

I also think that public interactions offer a preview of how easy (or difficult) it will be to work with someone on a project... we're not experts on every domain of knowledge, so the best bet is to approach interactions with a bit of humility and respect.

If this were an AITA reddit thread, ESH (a little bit).
Yes, that is the place. I hope to have the first version released in 4 to 5 weeks.

> If you’re running on e.g. a video game console where you’re the sole user of a block of pretty much all memory

Games consoles haven't been that for a long time. PS5 and XSS are full blown multi-user multi-application systems. PS4 and Xbox One were multi user systems with reserved blocks for the OS, but still very close to a modern OS.
I've also operated under the received wisdom that the college loan system mostly serves to allow universities to take a larger bite out of the lifetime earnings premium from a degree, that it essentially subsidizes higher tuition. But the article makes claims incompatible to that; that if you follow the Form 990s, the total amount schools are taking in, in constant dollars, hasn't tracked the increasing availability of loans. But: surely there are solid statistics on increased loans from buyers? Where is that money going?

It reminds me very much of this episode from Chinese history, which shows an equally mirrored-but-subdued statement of defiance after rejection:

Project 596 was named after the month of June 1959 in which it was initiated as an independent nuclear project, immediately after Nikita Khrushchev decided to stop helping the Chinese with their nuclear program on 20 June 1959, and Mao shifted toward an overall policy of self-reliance.

Boost Your Client's SEO with a Killer Landing Page in 1 Hour – Can You Do It?
When it comes to building a landing page for a new client in just one hour, the tools and technologies to use heavily depend on the project requirements, the level of complexity, and the resources available. However, in most cases, there are some tools and AI technologies that can be handy in building a landing page quickly and optimizing it for SEO.

Here are some of the tools and AI SEO techniques that can be used in building a landing page for a new client within an hour:

1. Website builder tools: These are drag and drop web page creation tools that allow users to design and customize web pages without coding or programming knowledge. Some of the popular website builders include Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, and Weebly. These tools offer pre-designed templates, so users can quickly create a landing page that's visually appealing and fits the brand's style.

2. Page speed optimization tools: Fast-loading pages play a crucial role in user experience and SEO. Therefore, using tools such as GTmetrix, Google PageSpeed Insights, or Pingdom Website Speed Test can help improve page speed. These tools monitor website loading speed and provide suggestions to optimize the website for faster loading.

3. Keyword research tools: Keyword research is a crucial part of any SEO campaign. Using tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Google Keyword Planner can help find the right keywords to target. These tools can help identify keywords that are relevant to the target audience and that have the potential to bring in organic traffic.

4. AI SEO tools: Using AI SEO My Site can significantly help optimize a landing page for SEO quickly. Tools like MarketMuse, AI SEO My Site or Textio use AI algorithms to analyze the content on the landing page and optimize it for search engines. These tools can help with keyword usage, semantic analysis, and content optimization to improve the page's visibility in search engines.

In conclusion, building a landing page for a new client within an hour can be challenging, but using website builder tools, page speed optimization tools, and AI SEO tools can significantly streamline the process. However, it's important to keep in mind that more complex projects might require additional resources and expertise.
I think the article agrees that the accounting here is not trustworthy, right?
bit of a random comparison. You're comparing one country's propensity to invade/ bomb other countries and kill their citizens to another country's internal famine. You could say the Chinese gov was incompetent then, but that famine isn't an example of foreign interference, like the US wars etc. dont think the comparison here holds
My main rebuttal is largely that Amazon has been going to shit, oddly.

They claim that search is getting worse on Amazon. And that the old "organic search results" are worse now. I agree it is getting worse. I disagree that it was ever good. Largely the problem is one of volume there.

They have claims that some algorithms push sellers down. I actually am interested in seeing that explored more. My gut is that it is just poor execution from Amazon. Not from incompetence or malice, mind; but it is a stupid hard problem that nobody is executing on well.

My "excuse" of the favored vendor clauses existing is, I confess, largely sour grapes that that is allowed at all. It really screwed over a lot of small companies that tried to partner with Walmart back in the day. If that goes away, I'll be delighted.

But the entire study of the buy box is questionable. Amazon has long done everything they can to get it to "1-click" so that you buy. They famously had a patent on that nonsense. Yes, it makes a big difference on purchases and such. No, it probably is not being "weaponized" against some sellers. The entire dream of Amazon there is to get a sale from a web view. They have almost certainly tried all they can to take whatever step they can to increase that. As such, it is a very volatile place to be located and it will take effort to keep a vendor there. Pretty much period.

Can they show that losing a preferred location will lead to reduced sales for a vendor? I'd be shocked if they couldn't. The question there is why did Amazon do it? If they did it as retaliation to a vendor, that is BS and they deserve to get fined. If it was just them doing what they can to convert more sales? I'm less clear what to do there. If we want better rules around that sort of thing, I'm all for that.

I don't actually know that I can stay on this discussion much more. You haven't really offered anything other than "I disagree." And, that is perfectly fine. I am hoping to see some points that strengthen the case, though.
Seems the better thing might be to have some kind of “pre-owned” program where kids no longer playing with their legos can send them back, get refurbished, and resold.

Similar to "The Secret", published by Byron Preiss in 1982, where he buried 12 secret treasure boxes across the USA and published a cryptic fantasy book to find them. Only 3 have been found.
