ROCm on Vega only works on certain motherboards because the card lacks a synchronization clock over the PCI bus. They added it on some later cards. It’s absurd how much is lacking and inconsistent.

No. It's because I don't believe it strikes at the right targets, for lack of a better metaphor. You get collateral damage that I don't think is worthwhile. If the desired goal is to have developers move away from Unity, Unity themselves have given enough incentive.

You suggested boycotting the developers that use Unity. I don't get your scorched earth logic. It seems unreasonable to me.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was better than the current situation with ebooks. You could go into an electronics retailer and choose one of a dozen DVD players then drive across town to video store and buy or rent any DVD and the chances that the two things would work together was very high.

Not my field, but I do know of studies that measure patient's satisfaction with medical treatment goes up when the provider wears a white coat rather than scrubs or business casual.

Some of these studies replicate the effect for veterinarians as well (the effect is on the pet owner, in those scenarios, though it would be amusing if such an effect could be demonstrated on pets' health outcomes).

I imagine that the halo of being exposed to multiple such markers (even indirect ones such as you've suggested) for professionalism and care will reinforce this effect, and so would repeated exposure, though all this suggests is that patients would be more likely to report that they feel their treatment is working, which might be different than an improvement in actual clinical outcomes.

Google hasn't released many products appealing to consumers since 2015, with the exception of hardware and incremental Android work. Google's ground-breaking days are over. Search, AdWords, Image Search, Gmail, Maps, NASA partnership + Earth + Moon and Mars maps, YouTube, Chrome, Translate, Suite/Workspace, Android OS, Drive, Docs, Google+, Chromecast, Photos - all the exciting stuff happened before the Alphabet transformation in '15. We haven't had almost any new iconic Google apps since.
That's not entirely fair. The main downside Capitalism has in this discussion is that the wellbeing of the people is not even one of it's stated goals. You can argue all you like about Socialism being a failed ideology, or impossibly utopian, that's it's own conversation. But it makes the common welfare a stated goal to strive for. Capitalism does not.

Capitalism's goal is to maximize the creation wealth by allowing individuals to privately hold wealth and efficiently leverage it to produce more wealth. Currently, humans are a crucial element in the production of wealth, which has allowed labor to capture some amount of that wealth for themselves. But that's not central to Capitalism. If you can generate massive amounts of wealth and give none of it to your workforce, you've succeeded at Capitalism, even if it means the 90+% of the population who don't own much capital at all starve in the streets.

In contrast, Communism's stated goal is the achievement of a classless, moneyless society that provides to each according to their need, and each works according to their ability. Unlike Capitalism, the elimination of the necessity of labor doesn't intrinsically cause everybody to starve. It just dwindles away the necessity of the "from each according to their ability" part.

So you can argue about what other better solutions there are, but if we're pushing towards a world with less and less need for human labor, Capitalism is flatly untenable. Capitalism's answer to human labor being optional is that the former labor class dies.

A key part of progress is choosing the direction to progress in. Flashy knee-jerk moves like that sound good but it isn't the fastest way to move forward. The first step (which I think they've taken) is for the executives to align on what the market wants. The second is to work out how to achieve it, the third to do it. Handing out freebies would probably help, but it'll take sustained long term strategy for AMD to make money.

AMD's problem isn't low-level developer interest. The George Hotz video rant on AMD was enlightening - the interest is there and the official drivers just don't work. A few years ago I made an effort to get in to reinforcement learning as a hobby and was blocked by AMD crashes. At the time I assumed I'd done something wrong. I still believe that, but I'm less certain now. It is possible that the reason AMD is doing so poorly is just that their code to do BLAS is buggy.

People get very excited about CUDA and maybe everything there is necessary, but on AMD the problem seems to be that the card can't reliably multiply matrices together. I got some early nights using Stable Diffusion because everything worked great for an hour then the kernel paniced. I didn't give AMD any feedback because I run an unsupported card and OS - effectively all cards and OSs are unsupported - but if that is widespread behaviour it would be a grave blocker.

I think they are serious now though. The ROCM documentation dropped a lot of infuriating corporate waffle recently and that is a sign that good people are involved. Still going to wait and see before getting too hopeful that it works out well.

Ask HN: Are there positions that an autistic software engineer can hold?
I've been in the industry a bit less than a decade. I consider myself decent on the technical side, but interacting with people is extremely draining. For example, if I know I have a meeting the next day, I often can barely sleep through the night. During the meeting, I need to expend a massive amount of effort to collaborate. This obviously affects my work life, but more importantly my personal life.

I have never gotten negative feedback for my work and have steadily climbed up the ladder, but ultimately I feel like I can't continue in a regular agile/scrum/other process-driven company. Mentally it's not sustainable for me.

Where could I find a job where I can focus on my strong sides, i.e. technical expertise, good written communication and ability to work alone? Or maybe there is some other tech-adjacent industry that I could go into instead? Any recommendations are very welcome :). Thanks!
90% of people ever to exist were only looking out for themselves. The luddite claim that the industrial revolution made their life worse was absolutely not wrong, even if their actions were selfish.
It’s more that it’s not a word you can rely on them to sound out, if they don’t know what it’s supposed to be. And, anyway, not all “sight words” are difficult to sound out—it’s a kind of loose category of short words that occur so often that you must not need to sound them out to recognize them if you’re going to read fluently. Of course any successfully reader will accumulate even more words that they recognize at a glance (that’s why the “jumble all but the first and last letter” trick works—fluent readers rarely need to sound out words, and don’t really look at every letter, so they can still read texts so-jumbled with little difficulty) but sight words are taught that way explicitly, from early on, almost like learning the alphabet.

They do know what “the” sounds like, spoken, they just might not be able to figure out that “the” represents that sound (or may struggle with it longer than you’d expect). Other sight words are very straightforward, but lots are subtly tricky for early readers (“of”—that’s gotta be the word “off”, right? The sound the same letters make in “often”, surely? But no.)
There are many things twisted like this in our living memory and it irritates the hell out of me. How do we deal with it aside from endlessly correcting people? Indeed, Luddites weren't against technology.

The "welfare queen" story wasn't about a woman who was lazy and collecting benefits, she just fit a profile that matched peoples' prejudice. It's difficult to stay on the government dole and there's a lot of conditions for receiving it. Defrauding them can disqualify you from further benefits or land you in the slammer. People aren't out there living the high life off of SS.

Sorry if it seems scattershot, I'm just describing other things that get twisted far away from their original circumstance, usually just to enable anti social behavior, like calling someone who takes a careful approach to technology a Luddite.

A big blob of complex unsafe code is the opposite of how Rust devs approach unsafe optimizations.

Rust has a pattern of isolating unsafety into small components behind a safe interface, so that the component can be understood and tested in isolation. For example, if you need some adventurous pointer arithmetic, you write an Iterator for it, rather than do it in the middle of a complex algorithm. This way the complicated logic can be in safe code.

It's sort of like Lego, where you build from safe higher-level blocks, but you can design custom blocks if you need.
During the pandemic I took 2 clear tubes, and put PM meters in them. I used tape to tape various COVID masks between them and to seal them kind of air tight. Then I placed computer fans at each end to push air through. I learned that the best filters I could get only worked down to 2.5 microns.
You might still be getting products from the same inventory pool in an Amazon warehouse when ordering directly if the company uses Amazon's Multi-Channel Fulfillment offering. They sell on their site, tell Amazon about the sale, then Amazon ships it to the customer. They even offer the option to ship it in unbranded boxes so that customers don't know the order is being fulfilled by Amazon.

The more I learn about Neanderthals, the more I suspect they were very, very similar to us in many ways. In the same way that looking out into the universe makes me feel very small, the notion of history spanning back incomprehensibly with all of these lives of other people, even outside of my own species, is so humbling.

One thing I'm curious about is how the pottery connects to the bones. Is this evidence that they made pottery, or did the pottery get deposited later? I thought ceramics weren't around until ~20k years ago, but I'm not super current on this stuff. If it dates back 50k years and neanderthals made it, isn't that a huge deal?

As a child of that time the real magic of Harry Potter was that he grew up with you. The books got gradually more mature throughout the sequence, Rowling was writing for her fans as they grew up.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was the first full novel that I read. The first books are tame and suitable for young children. By the time the last books came out I was an adolescent and I appreciated the more mature themes.

Then a second slightly later generation had the same experience but with the movies instead of the books.
So it's okay to perform the harmful act, knowing the harm it will cause, as long as you leave yourself the out of being able to say it'd have come to nothing had others declined to participate? I once heard a heroin dealer make a similar claim.

I recommend using ClickHouse instead of DuckDB.

It has been around since 2016, and it covers and extends the feature set of DuckDB with a huge margin. Worth noting that it never has breaking changes in its table format MergeTree.

I'm tracking the progress of DuckDB and see that it is modeled after ClickHouse, but does not approach it in terms of feature completeness, stability, or performance.

The closest to DuckDB option is to use its self-contained version, clickhouse-local: https://clickhouse.com/blog/extracting-converting-querying-l... or an embedded version, chdb: https://github.com/chdb-io/chdb

I've read a few place that the population of Neanderthals peaked around 10,000 and the lack of genetic diversity was what contributed to their downfall and replacement by Homo Sapiens. However, I found this interesting article that tries to rationalize the sheer volume of bones and tools from Neanderthals against their seemingly negligible populations. The scientist believes populations peaked at over 100,000 across Europe. Amazing what genetic analysis can attempt to prove nowadays.

I am not sure whether I agree with the "Compton limit." A particle can be spatially localized as much as you want if you include high velocities in its wave function, and that can happen in tight bound states as well as in high energy processes. To offer an example of the former, the radius of the s1 atomic orbital shrinks as the nuclear charge increases, and if there is a limit on nuclear charge it is determined by processes unrelated to the electron itself. For the latter, the total energies of all particles eventually start acting like photons w.r.t velocity as their rest mass is overwhelmed, and the gravitation or inertia of a beam of light is impossible to rationalize as mass or put on that chart.

Things like insulin may be driven by life events and as needed. But I'm talking about regularly scheduled medication.

Antidepressants may be advisable to take before bed as a rule, but it's an excellent example of drugs that are supposed to be taken at the same time every day. Irregularly moving around the hour you take the antidepressant makes them less likely to work.

That's why irregular sleep schedules aren't a good reason to move medication.
I was an Amazon seller 10 years ago. I noticed that as soon as I started getting some traction, Amazon would start selling alternatives and undercut me. At some point they started asking for proof of sales. This was then further used to compete against me.

At some point, I had a complaint, refunded the customer completely, and they outright banned my account and held my money for 90 days (I got all of my money back after the 90 days). It completely wiped my business out and I never looked back.

I was banned to the point where if another seller was associated why my account at all, they were also banned. All of my calls went nowhere and I was pushed to automated responses.

12+ years later and I have my seller account back. Not like I'm ever going to sell anything on Amazon again.

Yes, it’s expensive, but usually not more expensive than actually going there (including incidentals like Uber rides, bar tabs, etc).

The only thing is, you save ~30-60% of your money, but when compared to salaries, it’s probably not enough to make a meaningful difference. Anyway, it’s usually not just about the money, but getting away and doing stuff as a team (even if the team doesn’t know about the layoffs).
Historically they believed that "the community" would address broader ML software support. I think the idea was they could assign dedicated engineers for bigger customers and together that was a sort of Pareto-goodish solution given their constraints as a company. Even in retrospect I'm not sure if that was a good call or not.

Eventually we may have sufficiently fine-grained ability to observe brain states, plus a strong enough understanding of neuropsychology, such that an outside observer can accurately predict, for a brain under observation:

1. The subjective internal mental state of the participant (e.g. "you were imagining a red balloon")

2. Actions that will be taken before they physically manifest (e.g. "you will throw rock instead of scissors")

If an outside observer can do these things without access to subjects' thoughts, especially with subjects' deliberate efforts to fool the observers, then IMO it is pretty clear evidence the thoughts are meaningless.

As for the current day, I say the preponderance of evidence is on anyone who claims otherwise. There's lots of evidence suggesting free will is an illusion, and no evidence of telekinesis or the like.
