> you can’t use CUDA - which only works on Nvidia hardware

Tell me you've never used CUDA without telling me you've never used CUDA.

Before Apple revoked Nvidia's certificates, they in fact did support CUDA on Apple hardware. You needed an Nvidia GPU to run it, but Apple hardware and software is a perfectly usable client: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/cuda/mac-driver-archive...

Failing that, Nvidia still maintains BSD-style drivers if Apple did let them install their drivers. Now you're going to yell at me about how this is an unrealistic workflow, but plugging your iPhone or Mac into a TV, DAC or external drive isn't.

> just in case someone wants to carry around an Nvidua breakout box to do intensive GPU work on an iPhone.

Sure. They exist, nothing on the technical side stops Apple from implementing it. My point is not that they must add the feature, but that it is totally possible if Apple didn't arbitrarily limit userspace drivers. Draw your own conclusions about it, I couldn't give less of a shit.

If changing the iPhone to Thunderbolt and supporting eGPUs in software is equivalent to a "Homermobile" in your head, get a grip.
Another UGLY color selector pallet. Just give me a normal HSL slider ffs
The world is not a right place. It never has been and never will be. We won't "science" or vote our way out of human nature. There are cycles of bad times and somewhat better times.
> Then you have the handheld/smartphone market that was a lot more diverse before Google Android hit the market.

"Then you have the UNIX market that was a lot more diverse before Red Hat Linux hit the market."

I think it will be trivial to prove that Google is actively harming the internet. Proving that Chromium is anticompetitive for being large and complicated is a suicide mission. If the market decides that a terrible, buggy and enormous runtime is the best way to freely distribute content, then that's what we'll settle on. It's hardly surprising that things got this way, too; locked-down platforms are becoming so normalized that browsers are the only window of freedom users and developers have. It's not like Google or Apple made it any easier to ship native, cross-platform apps in that time, either. So of course users will gravitate to a browser that has more features than their own OS.

So... implicating Google is easy. Trashing Chrome adoption and feature-creep is a different battle entirely.
Fair point, looks suspicious on first sight. I've checked my tests briefly: It's accepted as table and column name. As mentioned in footnote [0] I haven't checked different contextes yet.

Can you tell me: what kind of identifier is it (view name, function name) and which SQL context it causes problems (select list, create/drop statement, ...) and which system has problems with it. Thx.
I suppose the fact that it's LOS reduces the power requirements. There's really no way around it: they specifically stress that the UE is unmodified.
Treat your machines like cattle, not pets. When I used to run kubernetes in the pre-'kube as a service' days. We had two autoscaling groups, one which had 3 or 5 nodes in it to run the control plane nodes and an open eneded one for workers (which were managed by the cluster autoscaler). Each ASG was set up in such a way that the nodes would come up and join the cluster fully automated and they never needed to be shelled into for anything but troubleshooting the weirdest failures (it was early days, the kubelet and docker had some extra fun bugs).
I don't think it's really relevant to compare plain Postgres to Spanner, most folks have no need for something like this. It is made for folks who need to do millions of ACID type transactions a second/minute from all over the globe, and have a globally consistent database at all times.

There's a reason why Google installed and built their own atomic clocks and put them in their datacenters, it is to facilitate global timekeeping for this type of services. Most likely 99.9% of the time this type of database is overkill, and also likely way more expensive than you need.

https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/true-time-external-con...
Postgres and Spanner do different things, in different ways, with different costs, risks, and implications. You could "just use" anything that is completely different and slightly cheaper. You could use a GitHub repository and just store your records as commits, for free, that's plenty cheap and works for small projects. But not really the same thing, is it?
I sort of similarly used LLMs and speech synthesis tools to make a prototype that could generate short (<10min) podcasts in Mandarin on any topic I specified. Being interesting is less important in a language learning context, though it's notable that I haven't used the tool much and prefer listening to Mandarin audiobooks and real human podcasts, perhaps because they are more interesting.
Which ones exactly you find distracting/invasive? There are fade animations when you enter/exit pages and also sliding animations in some tools.
DynamoDB has a free tier. I've been running a semi-active app wholly on the free tier for a good 3-4 years now. Lambda is free too.

I think the only thing I pay for is API Gateway, and that's around $2 a month max.
I suppose they need to piggyback on each mobile operator's licensed frequency bands, per country/region.
I wish my 2015(16?) car had fuzzy logic for the climate control. It seems there may be a small difference between slightly hot and full hot, but there is a distinct switch between slightly cool and slightly hot. Sometimes I just want the fan to move ambient temperature air, not hot or cold.
One of lambda's ideal use cases is personal projects. Personal projects usually serve very few requests so lambda's ability to scale to zero results in cost savings.

Wait, is that only now? I'm kind of confused, maybe I've been on a beta branch or something, I could of sworn that was part of 5.1?

You're right, I'm looking at the release notes now. But it's a very weird deja vu moment. There are a couple of features listed here that I really thought were already released. I need to check what my upstream is...

> case sensitivity is a bug, not a feature.

Agree; that was the first thing I changed in https://oberon-lang.github.io/; besides the few academic oddities, original Oberon is a much better language than Pascal or Modula.

> He became obsessed with purity, instead of usability

There was definitely an academic bubble; for example, the claim that Oberon is a system language and can only be specified with 16 pages is demonstrably false, especially since there is a lot of code in the Oberon system that can only be implemented at all by means of (partially undocumented) backdoors to the language; unfortunately, these backdoors bypass the compiler's type checking.

> Lazarus/Free pascal is really good, except for the abysmal documentation

Unfortunately, the language is a huge, partly unspecified patchwork, where apparently all sorts of current fashionable constructs have been built in, partly even redundantly. The resulting complexity is hardly manageable with the present development approach.
I didn't think about the potential benefits of fitting in icache.

I managed to find this PDF that does admit that it has a modest 2-3% benefit whenever the code wouldn't normally fit in icache: https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/a-case-to-remove-th...
The realization that to some pet, you're merely a fallible god, but one who can often offer little but death in an alien place, filled with the scent of sick, dying, and/or terrified other animals. Why am I here? Did I do something wrong? And your face is the last one they see. Run through that a thousand times per year and, unless you have monastic levels of detachment, you might end up feeling as if you were little more than the keen whistling edge of a scythe which never quite dried.

I don't know if this is bad advice or not but maybe take some valerian root or something like it before going in if you're worried about being overwhelmed. This is 100% bro science coming from me, but there are real studies studying the effects of propranolol on patients with PTSD where they purposely trigger the offending memory while on the drug in order to rewire the sensations associated with the memory.

It doesn't have to be traumatizing and you won't be alone.
True and even worse, inaccurate dick measuring.
> Stuff like this has existed from companies like garmin for some time.

No, this is entirely different from what Garmin and others sell.

Those devices require dedicated hardware (and a subscription plan) to talk to satellites. Also you can only send and receive text messages. (no voice, extremely limited data (like weather reports))

What SpaceX are doing uses a completely normal phone, with a completely normal phone plan. It's text for now, but voice and data are coming.
Thanks a lot! Yes, I did all by myself including idea, design, texts, coding, SEO, and now promotion/SMM.
Also which dynamo price are they comparing to? On demand? Provisioned? Reserved provisioned? We had a huge spanner db with low throughput so had to add idle nodes just for storage which also ballooned costs for spanner(the increased storage size here helps)
> they’re no different than normal grocery stores

They're a fraction of the size. If average weekly needs and wants were met by those, that's where people in those neighborhoods would shop all the time. Everything else would be redundant. But instead they seem to fill a missing middle.

> maybe you don’t go to the grocery store literally every day.

Great, vindication.

I'm not really familiar with how much dogs cost, but it seems like large dogs just cost a lot. I just did a quote for a small 2 year old dog (Maltipoo), and got $55/month. A 2 year old cat is $38/month. (I enrolled my cats as kittens.) I expect breed in general to be a much bigger factor with dogs than cats. Veterinary costs also vary significantly based on location.
Can you format it too next time.
That’s a feature in the prosumer market, not a bug

Quiz: what is the opposite of patronising? Because that's what you're being. Not talking down to people but assuming more than is typical.

You're clearly highly intelligent, evidently more so than I am. Additionally my mind doesn't work like yours, I'm not an abstract thinker. Plonk stuff like this in front of me and I can decipher it eventually, if I can get some clear statement of the notation and its semantics anyway, and there is stuff in there I'm not familiar with.

Most people aren't abstract thinkers. They are motivated by practical concerns. I spent an enormous amount of time reading up on stuff like this and I really can't see the value to it to me as a programmer. It's deeply frustrating because I know it has value, but I just can't use it. It's interesting, I know it's useful, but I can't use it.

Please allow that other people think differently and are motivated differently, and don't assume that what's easy for you is for them. I wish I had your cranium.

> It’s not the L3 connectivity or texts from loved ones that harms us.

Yeah it is. The fact that you feel you need to "announce" yourself real time is depressing. Can you not deal with being away from your loved one. Are you that clingy that you need to be in touch 24/7? Or is it trust issues?

"Hi hun; love you, ill be back in a few days" does wonders for a relationship.

What's wrong of explaining your vacation after you touch base?
Which isn't a lot if it's something you use all the time. Of course, for a lot of people this sort of function makes it hard to justify a dedicated device and even a lower-tier subscription for very occasional use.

This is the main reason I like DynamoDB. I can run side projects indefinitely for basically $0/month.
I'd like to see Google's solution to distracted driving, but I don't honestly think it's a problem they can solve. Average wait times of vehicles is tied in no small part to how quickly people react to the light turning green. Everyone behind someone who's surfing the web and doesn't move when they should pays the price. At least here in Houston, this has triggered a ton of red light running because (my personal theory) the people selfish enough to force everyone else wait on their noticing a green light are selfish enough to run a red light rather than be personally punished for their not paying attention. Seriously, it's endemic here that you'll see three to five cars running lights, particularly on turns.

"Calming" traffic is presumptive on people following the rules of the road and that's just not happening these days.
This is not true of k8s in general, maybe certain on prem 'distributions' enforce this, i'm not sure. Sometimes kubernetes admins/operators who are running their own control planes and etcd will run etcd on non k8s controlled nodes, or they will run it on the same nodes that run their control plane services (scheduler, apiserver, controller manager, etc). Often those nodes will be tainted in such a way that they don't get overloaded by a noisy neighbor 'customer pod', but that's in no way 'by design'.. perhaps by convention or best practice.
Just don't bring your phone.

If you must for emergencies, bring it turned off locked away, and promise yourself you will only take it out in an emergency. But then you didn't need one for emergencies before it was possible, so I'd argue you still don't need one.
Firstly, I'm not really an expert on marketing, so take what I say as mere opinion not fact.

I think that you should be pitching it a little differently: many people are confused about what your soundbite is actually saying (I also thought it was a file explorer, like all other file explorers I have even used).

Maybe lean hard into a phrase like "Unified file browser; see all files on all your devices, all at once, all the time".[1]

The other thing I would emphasise is that this isn't syncthing. You don't have to mention syncthing by name, but you could emphasise that "Your files aren't synced between devices, they're visible to all your devices".

Too many people who would otherwise use this would dismiss it with "I'm already using syncthing"! AIUI, you aren't syncing files between devices, only syncing file-listings.[2]

PS. For my own use, unfortunately, I don't need something like this. Sorry.

While it would be a nice to have in theory, it just doesn't solve any pain-points I am currently experiencing.

For example, any important document I need to read on different devices is already either in my email, or on google drive. I view movies on Netflix+AMZ+Disney+, I only ever share photos with others, not with other devices that belong to me. It's rare that I look at a file stored locally on my phone and say "I need to see this on my PC", or vice versa. It just never happens.

[1] That came out sounding super-weird: I did warn you that I wasn't any good at marketing :-)

[2] I expect you provide value on top of that, like transparently copy-n-paste between two different devices, even from a third device.

that's true you don't think that housing is subject to induced demand. I think more housing built in an area will increase the demand for housing in that area. It'll never stop.

another way to look at is why should someone drop the price on the property if adding new housing doesn't decrease demand. one could make the case that building new luxury housing will free up the expensive housing for people that still can't afford it.
Being hyper connected 24/7 isn’t bad for health. Overuse of corporate, censored, algorithmic agenda social media is bad for health. It’s not the L3 connectivity or texts from loved ones that harms us.
The caveat is on the operator's side. Your satellites need to be much closer to the user, that means much less square miles of coverage per satellite, due to the Earth's curvature. So you need like 1000x more satellites compared to the 10 Amp antenna setup, but if you have an economically viable way of launching them, you're good to go.
What I find funny is how it seems what we called "AI" shifted from what we actually mean when we speak of a human as "intelligent" to what we definitely do not consider a part of intelligence.

Take the robots from Boston Dynamics as an example. We do not consider a human intelligent because they can distinguish a cat from a chair, or walk without tripping or do a backflip. But we would consider them intelligent if they were able to make creative use of their physical ability, based on the data they have, to solve a problem. But when we marvel at the "AI" in things like robots, my understanding is that the "AI" is mostly in the perception (going from raw sensor data to a labelled model of the world) and the actuation (going from an instruction as "move one meter forward" or "do a backflip" to an actual sequence of action of the actuators). But the actual "intelligence" (the decision to open the door in order to go fetch the peanut butter and bread in the other room, and bring it back to complete the task "make me a peanut butter sandwich") is mostly classic if-then logic, or given by a human operator.

I see a similar pattern with things like ChatGPT: one might be impressed by the capacity of some students to learn textbooks by heart and parrot them perfectly, but those are not the students we call "intelligent". An intelligent student is one who might have forgotten the proof of a theorem or the exact definition of some term, but is able to creatively come to a correct and creative solution when presented a new problem (to which "parrot students" tend to fail miserably).

> It's always so weird to me that this works at all. There is no 'you'. It's weights in an impossibly complex network.

It's really not, it's something else.

Yes, but that "something else" is designed (both via architecture and training data) to predict the language response from humans of language used by humans to communicate with humans, so addressing it like a human addresses a human doesn't just work well coincidentally, but by design.

I've found it's pretty easy to massage data either way, depending on your preference. The one I'm working on now ultimately went from postgres, to mysql, to dynamo, the latter mainly for cost reasons.

You do have to think about how to model the data in each system, but there are very few cases IMO where one is strictly 'better.'
