look no further: "nvidia partner program"

For the more inpatient ones, a wikipedia quote

The program was regarded as an anti-consumer practice due to the fact that partnering companies were required to remove their gaming branding from all non-Nvidia graphics cards,[11] hurting consumer choice. Reportedly in response to these restrictions, manufacturers began releasing new brands for the competing AMD Radeon products.
Would you happen to have sources on the three orders of magnitude speedup coming at no cost? I'd assume porting + data movement considerations making this task non-trivial.
When I hear stuff like "you need really subtle and careful reading"... it's just an excuse to discount the actual content of the message and invent the meaning you wanted all along. Like, how could I be so stupid to not pick up on this totally opposite point from what RMS was saying?
> Perhaps that's what we should be using: copyleft vs open source, instead of free software vs open source.

Unless I misunderstand them, what about using the actual definitions?

- Proprietary software can be closed-source or source-available

- Open-source software can be under a permissive or copyleft license

- Free software is a philosophy around open-source software, but in practice FOSS and OSS are mostly the same thing.
It’s not possible except by regrowing the tree from the trunk. Plants have a much different circulatory system that doesn’t have main arteries and veins that can easily be reattached together. Since they use capillary action to move fluid around rather than a pumping heart, the xylem and phloem are microscopic and distributed throughout the trunk instead of branching like human blood vessels. Aligning enough of them back together to keep a large trunk alive is impossible, especially since trees form calluses over injuries to prevent infection.
> ASCII is a character set, it doesn't define the on-disk representation

ASCII is an encoding, and sometimes people refer to the ASCII charset as "ASCII" too. So it does define on-disk representation. A file with the leading 0s removed is no longer ascii-encoded. Similarly, a gzipped ASCII file is also no longer an ASCII file

FWIW, there is a rare medical condition some people have, where their body odour is abnormally high. I knew a girl in high school, very attractive and a wonderful person, but she sufferred from this condition, despite her best efforts to manage it.

That's how reality works. In order to do something, resources must be invested. In order for resources to be invested, people must perceive value in the thing they are investing in.

In order to do something big, many people must invest many resources, and they would only do so if they all see great value in the thing.

In order to have resources to invest, all of the people must have excess resources that they have generated from previous endeavors.

Remember, capitalism is merely the most efficient system we have for assigning limited resources across society.
A pacifist friend gave me Island by Aldous Huxley, with a similar scenario, a pacifist island is overrun by a martial island. The pacifist island is drawn as a wonderful, cooperative society, while the warlike island is a tyranny. My friend considered the pacifist island a good model for the real world, but that just made me wonder if she really read it to the brutal end.
We should also add a plausible hypothesis where search engines are partially replaced by other interfaces, such as LLMs prompts. In that case we are in front of the innovators dilemma for Google and Apple just need to wait until the sky clears, think again, and act.

I'm curious about that too. Recently, I've seen many screencasts in the same style, and I hate them. The constant movement of the recorded area is quite distracting.
My guess is you subscribe to some sort of "noble savage" myth. Pretty much all prehistoric peoples were way, way more violent and inhumane than even 1700s British. War, murder, rape, etc. were commonplace in general but in particular among the Polynesians.

While the way 1700s British acted would not meet modern British standards, it's a hell of a lot closer to them than Maori behavior and values of the same time period. In the mid-1800s some Maori invaded the Chatham Islands and enslaved, killed, raped, and ate the population (called the Moriori). Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

A Moriori survivor recalled : "[The Māori] commenced to kill us like sheep.... [We] were terrified, fled to the bush, concealed ourselves in holes underground, and in any place to escape our enemies. It was of no avail; we were discovered and killed – men, women and children indiscriminately." A Māori conqueror explained, "We took possession... in accordance with our customs and we caught all the people. Not one escaped....."[38] The invaders ritually killed some 10% of the population, a ritual that included staking out women and children on the beach and leaving them to die in great pain over several days.[34]

If you're interested in learning more you could read some ethnographies of modern-day (or close to modern day) primitive peoples. The Yanomamö work thinks a lot about violence because people (the antrhopology community) couldn't even believe how violent they are. The other way to go about it is to think about the development of morality in humans (like moral universals). One theory goes small gods who are fallible and many --> big gods who always watch and are few --> the kind of normative morality software you have installed right now, which doesn't depend on gods.
Your point being? I don't see how it's relevant that Google uses free software. RMS is probably happy that they do. Of course, they should stop spying on people, but I don't see how that's related to their use of free software.

The Linux support for ThinkPads is pretty good I think. I've been using a T14 AMD Gen 1 for three years now with Ubuntu. The hardware is supported by the LVFS too. I'm upgrading to a T14 AMD Gen 4 shortly and will be running Linux (Ubuntu) again.
I think the "and" in that sentence used to be implemented as an "or" in the days before everyone's phones had GPS in them. So you'd need to power cycle the device before it'd work again. Now most devices need to hit both limits at the same time before refusing to work.
> He has/had arguable/unacceptable behavior, but I believe we strongly owe him.

Arguably that describes most people ever considered heroes. Just look at the controversy of anyone who ever had a statue made of them

I think to change the world you have to be somewhat not of it - you have to rebel against social norms. The people who rebel against social norms don't just rebel against the right ones but also are wrong sometimes too.
> Proton is basically just Wine, right?

That's the thing with desktop linux: almost everything already exists. But there's always an extra mile to go. Sometimes it's tiny bugs, sometimes it's bad default settings, sometimes it's questionnable UI... all things that may not be a problem for tweakers but will stop people that want a good out-of-the-box experience. I'm glad commercial companies go that extra mile.

But yes, props to wine devs. Well deserved.

My dad, near the end of his life, was "convinced" by his UBS money managers to move most of his assets into gold. He had a signficant amount of money, and this yielded a major payday for the fucktard at UBS that told him to do it. I can't see any reason for it!
The wrong is in displacing people by force - as in taking their land & kill / deport inhabitants elsewhere. Some of that could be corrected but of course there are limits.

Outside of that, there's just the status quo and "natural causes" (immigration, deaths/births etc). Life goes on.
> ... but I find the casual chain of events questionable ... When I spoke to the people who actually wrote the RFCs, they said category theory had no part in their thinking.

I think you missed one level of indirection in my argument. I'm not claiming that language designers employ Category Theory explicitly when designing new language features (although this is indeed the case with Haskell, PureScript, and similar languages). Rather, my argument is that Category Theory features typically debut in these purely functional languages and then you will see on the Wikipedia page of mainstream languages something like: “Influenced by Haskell” (e.g. Rust, +20 others) . Category Theory is very abstract by nature, so I think it is only natural that there is some kind of indirect step through e.g. Haskell where people can see it in action first, before such features land in mainstream programming languages. The language designers would then say, 'Well, I have been influenced by Haskell (and not by Category Theory)', although the concept behind it is truly based on CT.

Many programmers don't keep math books at their workstation. However, they constantly utilize mathematical concepts in their coding. Often, they refer to programming language tutorials where these mathematical ideas are already implemented, for example, in Python or C++. This is as opposed to learning the concepts directly from a book on Algebra, Geometry, or Trigonometry. However, that still qualifies as applied mathematics. Hence, I see no reason why it shouldn't count as applied CT if you borrow concepts from Haskell that are based on CT.
For JIT-ing you need to know the sizes upfront. There was an experimental branch for introducing jagged tensors, but as far as I know, it has been abandoned.
>Not exactly. I just sent this link to my (Argentine) friends with a different observation. My observation was: The United States is starting to look like Argentina.

This article is brilliant actually and really brings home just how crazy this year has been and still is.

In Italy this year it's crazy, the summer was ridiculous, especially down south of course. It gets hot usually but never that hot for that long.

This "Autumn" has been even more bizarre with the temperatures going down but so slowly that it still doesn't feel like autumn at all.

I swear anyone who denies climate change is just living in a basement their entire lives. What's more infuriating is when politicians who have access to all the data and experts to explain it still persist to screw over all future generations.

It's so awkward that these truly fantastic tools for fast numerical computation (NumPy and JAX) have to be accessed through Python, which is a truly terrible language for fast numerical computation.

This feels like one of those - programmers think they understand how laws work but don't actually.

This seems to be a extra verbose version of "Inverted Pyramid" which is a common writing style when you want to get across the main point as quickly as possible, and then towards the middle/bottom of the article, it's mostly just information/context around the main point. But this article is a bit too extreme in repetitiveness I think.

This is not true. I've sent subsequent patches to the PowerPC maintainer in private, there was no practical reason why he couldn't work with me instead of implementing his own version.

I am almost recovered from slow-growing lymphoma myself. (not sure if the same subgroup, but both are B-cell lymphoma)
I had my last doctor's appointment about it earlier today, in fact.

The problem is that it is chronic. It can reoccur. And it can mutate into malign lymphoma.
But some people go twenty or more years without it reoccurring.

BTW. I got Covid-19 while having lymphoma. I recovered from that normally.
But if I had also been under chemo, it would have been a different matter.

The article makes it a little fuzzy if Apple would have bought Bing outright, taking it completely of Microsofts hands, or if they would have bought access to including it in Apple products.

Had Apple bought Bing they'd most likely have taken it private and not offered its search API to others, effectively preventing the creation of search engines like DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.
I enthusiastically recommend Chess Tempo (https://chesstempo.com/), which will give you interactive chess puzzles from real games that are tailored to your level. Someone else mentioned the similar system on lichess, which is also fine.
Probably because you were in a large aluminium tube at the time, and had no internet to get the AGPS data, so it had to receive the orbital elements from the satellites. (IIRC, this can take as many as 24 minutes worst case)

On the other side, back in college to earn extra money, I was his typist for around 10 hours (3 or so hours at a stint), meaning he sat diagonally behind me, reading the screen I was typing on. The only thing I noticed was his hair was a little wild.

That was a few decades ago, so perhaps things have changed, but he was well within normal odor back in the early 90s.

> The accumulated inflation in the US since June 2019 is c. 17%.[1] This means US$ 55 in June 2019 is "worth" c. US$ 64.35 today. So it seems that you get a 4GB Raspi 5 for c. 7.25% less today.

Included in that 17% figure is the price increase for e.g. corn, rent and steaks.

Why should the change in price of either of these things be relevant to the price of a Raspberry Pi?

Simple it is not.

Google is apple's main competitor and building an actual rival might be extremely beneficial for them.

Google supposedly makes more money from this arrangement then the spend, which means of apple can run a successful search engine they can take more of the profit.

Apple has loads of cash which they look for ways to invest, Google shows that search engine can be an immensely valuable investment.

Obviously there are other concerns, chief being consumer sentiment here I imagine.

People keep foisting DEX forward as a reason why convergence isn't demanded by the market.

But, demand is created by early adopters (the people here), and those people don't use DEX because they don't use Samsung, due to Samsung being considered janky-to-insecure, depending on who you ask.

These are good definitions but the original post wasn't referring to people not taking into account the philosophical part of free software, unless it really meant "copyleft".

A permissive licence doesn't really transmit the intent of the author, philosophy or not (it doesn't really matter, the licence is the same).

A copyleft licence, on the other hand, backs the philosophy behind free software via the actual licence.

But you are right, it should be "copyleft vs permissive open source".

Note, folks we normally find it an expansive lesson to speculate on those items with huge store costs such as Oil and Gold.

In case of gold, part of the store costs is the fact that its not legal tender and direct gold ownership has several large obstacles. Not to mention gold coin where the cost to take that non-pure gold and convert it is expensive.
