If coders were payed the way musicians are paid a few coders would make a lot more money than they do now and most would make a lot less.

A few musicians become big stars and can make a lot of money for themselves and for musicians who work with/for them. It falls off rapidly from there.

It would probably actually be worse for coders than it is for musicians, because the big money making projects in coding usually involve a lot more people and a lot more up front investment. A few people who led the project or wrote the truly innovative parts would get most of the royalties. The people who do the more routine parts (which is most of almost all projects) that any decent programmer could have done will get only a small amount.

For anyone curious what it is like for a musician, here's an interesting video from a well-known YouTube guitarist who is managing to make a living as a guitarist, going over a variety of ways that a guitarist might make money [1]. He looks at local gigs, touring with a mid level act, touring with a top level act, busking, cruise ships, studio work, teaching private lessons, university instructor, endorsement deals, and content creator.

It has nothing to do with inept laws. It has everything to do with the corrupt behavior of often large companies that own all of these rental units.

Like I get the feeling you don't rent. When I was living in Austin, my apartment rent shot up over 30%, in an area on the outskirts of Austin near nothing. It's nice to think that this problem could be solved by simply dumping supply on the market, but even in areas where that's being done or where there isn't significant demand rent is skyrocketing. And even when supply is dropped, it's bought up by said large corporations and investment groups that price fix it anyways.

It's occurring throughout the entire US regardless of local laws, though some areas are gouged even further. We know large landlords collude on this sort of thing to the point there's an actual term for it called warehousing [1]

Is turning it into a solid too energy consuming? The main problem seems to have been it clogging up the multi stage system. If you can dump it you should be able to turn it into a solid in a separate setup.
This is an important drum to continue to beat, but it needs to be paired with the caveat that we are not legally certain that Llama's weights are actually copyrightable. We're also not certain how much IP protections around trade secrets would apply to weights in this situation. A lot of that is uncertain.

Llama is not Open Source but until we get a court case ruling one way or the other we don't know if it's actually locked-down in the way Facebook intends; and I want to strike a balance between (correctly) pointing out that Facebook is misusing the Open Source label while not ceding to Facebook's claims about how much it can legally constrain people who have never signed a single Llama TOS.

One possibility I have been thinking about is to locate desalination in an area with extreme tidal variation, particularly the northern Gulf of California (which coincidentally happens to be in a very thirsty region), where natural flows might be sufficient to disperse the brine. I have seen various studies talking about tidal currents dispersing brine but I haven't heard of any evidence that you can take advantage of highly tidal bays.

I said 20 years ago that the next significant war would be decided by whose engineers innovated drones the most quickly, and who could mass produce them the most quickly.

If what I hear about Ph.D.s sharing foxholes in Ukraine is right, then I was correct.

I expect a merger of engineers, drone hobbyists, military people, and AI assistants will give the victory to one side or the other.

I wish the US cared about winning the next big war. If they cared, they would disband the ATF and actively encourage armed drone competitions. There is precident. The Division of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM) runs / ran the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) for many years, handing out surplus military rifles to US civilians for the purpose of having recruits ready in the event of a big war.
There has to be more nuance here, e.g. using university email/resources.

FreeBSD 5.x was a very stressful time -- bringing full SMP to the entire kernel was a massive technical challenge, and it didn't help that a lot of the people who were expecting to work on it lost their jobs during the dot com crash.

5.x was a poor vintage because making the kernel SMP was hard, and social issues became problematic because SMP was hard, but Matt's departure was neither the result or cause of FreeBSD 5.x having issues.
LOL I was thinking of an entirely different comment on another site. Give me credit here, I never cast aspersions on you, or even addressed you directly here.

I apologize for making you feel condescended to, but also would like to point out the _mean_ comment is +7, much less this one: there's a pretty significant gap in your knowledge and reality is going to keep intruding. Engaging in public is a wonderful way to learn, but you're coming across as glib and assertive and uninformed. You thought llama.cpp invented quantization and there's no other real format? :X
Everything we do affects the environment. Locally making the ocean a little bit saltier by removing water and not removing salt sounds like a very minor problem.
If you read the letter of many employment agreements, they try to claim anything you create while under their employ is theirs. Do they want your love letters? Not unless you become famous and they think they can make a book out of them. Do they want the code to that side project you’ve been playing around with? Quite possibly.

Can you afford to fight them if they do try to claim it? Maybe if your side project has already taken off.

Only one type of request will be sent to me, to my licensing server, which validates the license key received after purchase to provide the Premium set of shortcuts or the latest version. So when installing COPILOT or checking for updates, that request sends the license key received after purchase along with the current version installed and returns the links to the Premium version of COPILOT shortcuts or the latest one when an update is required. Any other requests are between your phone, OpenAI and Google. So yes, the "main loop" happens within the shortcut itself, and the current progress notifications are sent from it.
It's important to remember that the pandemic and supply chain mess affected all countries fairly badly, and the US is handling it better than a majority of them. So, even though things are not good, it shows a fair amount of skill in returning the US economy to a healthy place.

The other thing unfair to Biden is that Trump got credit for the unsustainable surge in stock prices after the giant republican tax cut, so it looks bad for everyone's savings as the stock settles back to a normal level.

That's not even the best reason. Violence is the guarantor of last resort for our choice of way of life. On long enough timeline this has historically always come down to who can do the most violence and there is nothing that implies this has or will change in the future (just a relatively long great power peace that has allowed more naive people to think the above is not true.) As a democracy with a relatively strong personal liberty slant i am pretty keen on that continuing to exist so i am pretty happy when i see companies trying to breakup the old and busted military contracting system.

He just told you what his work means to him. The part that he enjoys the most, the part that makes it worth it, is that his work in some way leaves an impression on other.

As you said, he is a creator that makes games for his audience rather than himself. As he himself has stated multiple times that his games are to let players tell their own personal stories hence his emphasis on player freedom and letting players have unique (as possible) paths through the game - as opposed to to the “players must experience everything we created” philosophy.

That doesn’t mean his work has no “soul”, frankly it has multiple souls in them as they are the collaborative work of an entire team.
Do tell us about the other examples.
Theoretically speaking, JITs have access to strictly more information than AOT, so they ought to be better once you amortize out the timing issues. A really good profiling JIT will do a fast-compile pass the first time through, and then progressively re-compile with knowledge gained from profiling during runtime.

Salt is very hydrophilic, I believe this means that it's very difficult to get the last bit of water out. Further, if you leave dry salt out in a humid environment and it naturally pulls humidity out of the air.
Fair, that's a really good point. I don't distinguish between the companies and I don't think they're tangibly different in regards to privacy, but definitely agreed that Instagram has a better public image than Facebook does and I could see that making a pretty big difference.

I guess they're launching this under "Meta", they're not using either Facebook or Instagram as the branding. I don't have any data to know whether people are more likely to see Meta and think of Instagram or Facebook.

I'm surprised you think they don't. Average people don't know who Meta are and that they own WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. Their properties have billions of daily active users and WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are _seperately_ two of the biggest messaging platforms in the world.

Most Quest users have never heard of Oculus. Remember the Quest 2 sold 10s of millions of units.

There have always been plug-ins, especially by small developers on the Mac, which are AU only.

Apple Silicon macs can now run iOS / iPadOS AUs as well, so there are a ton of plugins from that world that are not available as VSTs.

Apple Logic can't load VSTs, so typically on the Mac it makes sense to just have AUs. Ableton Live on the Mac can load VSTs or AU, but there isn't really a reason to keep the VSTs around.
You'd be surprised. The architecture and design podcast 99% Invisible did an episode on this recently. Give it a listen if you're interested in learning more. Here are some details from memory. Internal space without windows can't legally be made into residential. Plumbing and ventilation requirements are vastly different (in offices these go to larger centralized areas, in residential they go to smaller distributed locations). There are very few buildings that can be easily converted to apartments, and the costs of conversion for those that can be is expensive. Meaning what few conversations are possible are limited to luxury units.

Exactly. Chat is just the first, most general purpose UI. Like a terminal was for computers.

Ask HN: How to find potentials users for my startup

Look, it's a two sentence comment, you're reading the blame into it. Saying that Mark pushed the change that caused the outage isn't blaming Mark.

Saying that Trump (the original author, doing his best) thought that looser fiscal policy was a good idea and that Biden (the current maintainer) has to be the one to course correct due to unforeseen consequences isn't blame unless you take it as such.
Accurate except you can easily shave 10 years off retirement.
The type of plumbing, fires systems and ventilation change depending on office use to apartments.
I don't believe it does show that in 2023. Do you have a source that's better than a Bankrate survey? (FRED charts are the most reliable.)

So if my browser tries to allocate memory for a tab and the allocation fails it should just crash or block instead of handling the failure gracefully by not creating a new tab and telling me the system is running low on memory?
If companies are letting go of real estate as some employees want to go remote, why would the said employees who are remote want to stick in the center of city where these offices are, but not go out a bit outside of the center or even suburbs.

If they do move out, the demand of real estate in the center anyway goes down
Blind is pretty good. It's not really anonymous if someone messed up but it gives the sense of anonymity.

The plumbing, electrical and code requirements are completely different for residential. Think kitchens and bathrooms every 10 to 20 feet. People need windows in all of the rooms. Most open offices couldn't be converted into residences.
Java (since version 9) has -version which prints to stderr and --version which prints to stdout (also with slightly different content). Same for -showversion and --show-version and to get back on topic -help -h and -? print to stderr while --help prints to stdout.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/jav...

But since the more standard double-dash variants printing to stdout where added with Java 9 I would actually laud it as good backward compatibility.
The Caddy project is fighting to show it can work. We are having moderate success.

I just gave a talk about this a couple weeks ago at an internal company event and will be doing so again at GoWest in a few weeks. The premise is that open source licenses are what they are: they grant freedom, but not other things that companies would pay money for. Proprietary licenses do offer what companies need, but at the cost of freedom.

I believe there is a third model that works in the middle without compromising freedom or reliability. By staying open source and filling the gap of what companies need through sponsorships, I think this may work for some.

I'm currently redesigning the Caddy website to emphasize this and hope it will work!
What is this comment meant to mean?
It's also fairly trivial to disable an LED physically.
I think the key point which is missed here is - Open Source gives you the choice.

It does not necesarry mean cheaper (in a moment) but it means if you're not happy with vendor pricing, quality or there are other factors in play, you have alternatives.

With proprietary technology choosing technology means marrying vendor for life
I agree it's not perfect but:

1. For cases where seconds matter in human interaction there are well know and efficient protocols to sync

2. Often 2-3 seconds turn out to not matter but being on the right time zone does. It is an evolutionary development after all so (at least at some point) there exists a large market for this feature

I bought a pair last year and have taken it on a few trips. It's been great for certain activities where I want to take pictures/videos but don't want to have a phone in my hand (like on a boat or parasailing).

Another thing I noticed is that it allows me to record videos while staying in the moment. I took some videos with my wife and captured some cute interactions and conversations that I wouldn't have been able to record with my phone.

Most of the photos and videos don't turn out great because of the camera/mic quality and because you can't see what's in frame but I got some fun videos from them.
I think the suggestion was not that the tool should page the output, but that the user can easily do so:

Only if desalinated water is banned from being delivered to taps, else the two would be the same price?
The salinity is normally only increased by a factor of four (assuming a 25% reject ratio) so just be aware that brine discharge is a very highly localised environmental issue, it doesn't spread too far.

I wouldn't call it an unsolved problem necessarily. We probably disrupt the ecosystem more when we build a parking lot.
Pay for the $1/month version and invert the responses; now you have the $100/month one for cheap :D
> why the city should swoop in and give tax payer money to landlords.

is the only thing stopping better housing ideological aversion to subsidizing landlords?

If the landlords cannot find economical ways to turn offices into residential apartments, they won't do it. Therefore, it is in the city's interest to make such a subsidy.
I had the same issue on Linux 4 hours ago, and then got a 37 GB update which fixed it. I think the update is just rolling out slower than the library page change that tells it to launch cs2.sh
