Awsm!
Many "pets" are just farm animals. Nobody will fork out day wage to save some cat, that is catching mice at barn.
Also, regulatory and insurance capture.

If anyone could perform veterinary medicine out of their garage, I imagine costs would come down significantly.
Are these asphalt emissions bad for me? I live by a busy road. Diesel is a constant annoyance in odor and the sneaking feeling that I'm being poisoned through my lungs. I only notice asphalt aerosols for a few days after they lay it down.
What's hellbanned? I can reply just fine without upvoting first.
LEO-to-mobile use cases don't usually need a reflector dish: Iridium and Globalstar don't have one either. That's more of a feature of GEO-to-mobile (e.g. Inmarsat, Thuraya, Skyterra etc.)
Why did you change the title to include "Rails"?
That's not a reasonable thing to say. "Giving chemotherapy" is almost as general as saying "giving medicine". A young dog with a treatable cancer is not going to cost anything near $10k and should get many good years of life. Some cancers (eg, mast cell) have glorified Benadryl as "chemo".

Just put in the effort to find a good vet, build a relationship, and trust them give you good advice.

I'm not saying this to you, but this has been a terrible post on HN to read, the worst of the community is on display. Lots of confidently wrong people that are very quick to see the worst in others.
When I lost my cat of 13 years, the first few weeks were terrible. Even just the feeling of emptiness in the house. And everything reminded me of her. For 6 months I could not talk about her without crying. But it's OK to feel this. I would rather feel it than not. It's a reflection of the wonderful companionship we had.
The servers in development have huge i-caches and gobs of memory bandwidth so compressed instructions don't really benefit there. (They are much more appropriate in embedded designs.)

The real issues are two-fold: Compressed instructions consume 75% of the instruction encoding space. The thought is that without compressed instructions occupying that space, more 32-bit extensions can be added before we need to use longer instructions.

Secondly verifying designs which use unaligned instructions is difficult because there are many different cases to consider (especially instructions crossing cache lines and pages). The verification thing comes from a particular vendor who already design very high end chips - you are likely to have several in your possession - and I have to assume they know what they're talking about.

I'd love to have a pet too, but I don't have the conditions for that (including financial conditions), so I don't. Even though I'd love to. But having a pet is responsibility, which includes financial responsibility. So yes, you shouldn't have a right to have a pet, when you can't afford it. That it may even be controversial is bewildering to me. Animals aren't things which exist for your pleasure.
"I think it's that they are harassed 24-7 by addicts seeking drugs." - I don't think this is an issue, or is very minor - although maybe it is different in different places?

Perhaps places like portland or frisco are different than around my neck of the woods or are outliers compared to the country as a whole (?) - happy to get actual data.. not sure why anyone would go through the torture of an ER visit for drugs as an addict when you could hold up a piece of trash cardboard for 30 minutes and get enough cash to buy any dope you want within a stones through of any street corner easily these days.

My thinking on this issue is that the 'war on drugs' has had many side effects that are worse than the cure, some thoughts:

Lawsuits that cost big money have been filed and succeeded against pharmacies, individual doctors, clinics, hospitals and such right?
(this scares the shit out of the people in charge and makes them force underlings to virtually stop prescribing anything that could cost money via suits)

Criminal charges for all these (doctors, dentists, clinics, hospitals, etc) - and not just charges, but also investigations - harassing staff, demanding paperwork, under cover investigations trying to trick people into making mistakes - ending up on a 'list' - even if you are not doing anything wrong, certain numbers or algorithms from a pharmacy can trigger being looked at -

the threat of having your ability to write pain meds - this could make it so you don't can't do many higher dollar services (think dentist, surgeon) - makes people err on the side of less meds than you may need..

All these places seem to want to punt on the responsibility..

eg - go to ER with pain level 9 for tooth infection - they give you a tylenol tell you to follow up with a dentist or primary care doc -

This war has created situations where pharmacies are blocking meds to patients against doctor's written instructions, doctors worry what pharmacies will do - worry about dea will do - worry what investors will do - worry if they can keep a license to work, if they can stay out of jail, if they can pay student loans and home mortgages -

they worry about many things more than they care for the health and well being of the patient, your family member or whoever.

There is also a class war going on - from what I have seen it's what language a person uses at a ER / clinic / DR - as jnovek mentioned 'There’s a whole performative thing you have to do at the ER to “demonstrate” that you’re not a' - there is a quick breakdown in these situations where a DR or nurse takes offense to language or the patient does not know how to communicate pain and suffering in the flower-y language that doctors are used to -

There are more factors, surely I am not thinking of them all at during this 5 minute reply post.

The extreme torture I have recently witnessed when this type of thing occurred was quite disturbing.

Even if you don't pray, pray that you never end up in an American hospital with extreme pain that does not show up on their cat scans well.
imho, ymmv.

Not back to a plant: there are road resurfacing machines that tear up the existing surface, run it through a dirt and dust separator, recombine it with tar[1] at temperature, and then put it right back down. Yes, there is thermal, chemical, and mechanical energy being used to do all of that but it's a fraction of resurfacing a cement-based road.

[1] I'm not a road engineer so I'm not 100% sure what substance is used to stick the parts of the asphalt back together when it's put back down but it looks and smells like hot tar.
Very enjoyable writing, though I must admit I never understood putting crisps in your sandwiches.
> WebGPU is the only graphics API that Apple agreed on

It's was an API they and Firefox presented as a proposal for new graphics API. And it was Google who agreed to follow suit (they had their own proposal)
You don't get to beat physics just by being in orbit. Transmitting from a cell phone at a distance of 500km (in the best case) versus less than a dozen for a cell tower still makes things difficult. This will never be competitive with even moderately dense cell tower deployments. It does however put a global floor on cell service and stops the need to build cell towers in almost uninhabited deserts, or on every mountain top to reach every narrow valley in the mountains.

Even mass produced, a "cell phone tower in space" is going to inherently be massively larger and more sensitive than a tower on Earth. It does however let providers/governments focus investment on where people are rather than needing to maintain very remote towers for the very few that use them.
While better websites are nice, what people need is lots better sample code.

Everything Vulkan currently is contaminated with C++ Object-itis Global State which makes everything look like old-school OpenGL code in spite of the fact that's not the way anyone uses these modern APIs.

With Vulkan, especially, this is a real crime since the C API is incredibly well done. (This is especially infuriating in the case of the Vulkan Memory Allocator which requires C++).

For example, timeline semaphores in Vulkan simplify so much, yet very little of the sample code uses them because they are relatively new. Dynamic state, similarly. Subpasses need to die unless you are on mobile and are verifiably GPU performance bound.
There's a recent article about a climber who had to use this iPhone SOS feature. Turns out that actually getting in contact with emergency services is not easy - even though the satellite communications worked perfectly.

There was a lot of back and forth over the system, but it did not help at all. The thing that saved her was one 40 character message to a friend. Because apparently you get one of those, and no replies...

There is nothing stopping anyone from quit gambling or smoking or drinking and yet there are enormous number of people struggling with it.
Yeah, that's what I heard so that's one of the ways I tried using it. It's not compellingly useful in that role for me, though. I found it no quicker or easier than just writing (or copy/pasting from other code I wrote) it myself in the first place.

But I'll confess that I may be unusual -- I also don't find the old-fashioned code-completion stuff useful. That's for a different reason, though: it actively gets in my way.
The analogy is just bad altogether. If a theater doesn't show a movie, then they lose out on however many people with $X for the ticket price plus an additional $Y from concession sales. However, Time is not going to lose readers because they choose a font or not. So, the sheer use of the licensed movie has direct affect on the theater's bottom line, yet Time could choose a different font and have negligible notice on their bottom line.

Font foundries thinking they are entitled to a percentage of the bottom line of a company using their fonts is the top of the list of entitled rent seeking bullshit.
> The unfortunate move from Apple is Metal instead of going all in for Vulkan.

Metal was version 1.0 and used in production a year before there was even a proposal for Vulkan.

Why would Apple go all in on Vulkan?
I did this. I was a developer my whole adult life and jumped from that to law school in my 30's. Graduated, become an attorney, decided I wanted to code again after a few years, and became a developer again. By the time I made the decision to switch back, I was out of hands-on development for about the same amount of time as you. I worked on a lot of different things as a developer, so it was hard to pick just one thing to brush up on. I figured I would try to get an interview for something I was interested in, then brush up on whatever tech stack the company was looking for. I applied for a job that required a niche skill I had and was surprised I got a call after my first job application. I got past the HR phone screen and had about a two-week gap to prepare between the HR phone screen and the first technical interview. I was doing well on the technical parts of the interview, but the hiring manager was noticeably checked out the entire time (he even took a phone call during the interview). I got the feeling he didn't review my resume before the interview and was annoyed I got past the initial phone screen since I hadn't coded professionally in years. The team member he had on the interview with him was much more interested and kept the interview going.

A week later, the HR person called back and said the hiring manager was concerned by how long it had been since I was a developer. That's what I expected would be the problem, so I changed strategies. I decided to get my foot in the door and work my way back up to the level I was at before I went to law school. That worked and I got a job that paid way less than my attorney salary and about 25% less than I was making as a developer at my last position (not accounting for inflation). I've enjoyed the job enough that I put "working my back up" on hold.

I don't know your situation and how big a pay cut you're willing to take, but that worked for me. Don't get discouraged, it's definitely possible. I'm "caught up" in my tech stack and feel comfortable enough to interview elsewhere, but I don't want to right now.
Ask: Is d2l.AI better book for latest deep learning?
Would you recommend it?

Which book would you recommend, a book with practical approach, comprehensive and readable for latest developments in dl?

Some other recommendations include

"Python Machine Learning" by Sebastian Raschka and Vahid Mirjalili

"Deep Learning" by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville

"Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow" by Aurélien Géron
Those several-GHz bands don't really work indoors.
For a benchmark such as this, shouldn't there be some handcrafted ASM to compare to as the 'theoretical best'?

Measuring in seconds (though easy) is not really as useful as measuring in opcodes (with retirement times). Wrong audience perhaps.

"Energy consumption per capita is 2.2 toe, with electricity accounting for 4300 kWh (2021). These figures are around 25% below the EU averages."

https://www.enerdata.net/estore/energy-market/croatia/

With an average household size of 3.2 that's realistic.

Though imho it's a bit much. Pre-heatpump, our two person house drew less, even though I charge a PHEV. Maybe the figure includes industrial use?
The issue that big parts of the internet rely on small projects of volunteers still remains. There is no serious funding for those projects and the teams behind them are small.
I'm torn because I have really liked Google offerings in the past (I'm pretty locked in on gmail, I have different things running on GCP already, etc). But I've also been feeling burned a bit by Google suddenly ending services. I had all my domains happily in Google domains until they recently sold it suddenly to Squarespace, who I'm not interested in dealing with. My phone is a Google Pixel and I was using the Google podcast app, but just heard that too is being discontinued and moved to Youtube Music, which is a service I tried and really disliked, so now I need to find a replacement for that too. I didn't personally use some other services, but I know there have been many others ended (such as Stadia for gaming, which made a lot of press at the time).

Those are more minor services in the long run, but it makes me a little nervous to go in again on Google for a critical service. Before I invest my time and effort into using it I have to ask myself "Will Google someday sell off or end the cloud spanner service? Will I be in trouble if they do so?".
"Vulkan represents a low-level way of talking to the GPU more or less on the GPU's terms. As opposed to OpenGL which is a way of talking to the GPU on boomer CAD programmers' terms."

Kind of like that description. I've been doing GL since before it was OpenGL.

In my Common Lisp 3D system [1], I've been happily using very simple immediate mode OpenGL calls, taking advantage of CAD-like features such as drawing wireframes of various thickness over shaded polygons. OpenGL provides specific Z-buffer API calls to facilitate such things.

Is there a simple way of doing such CAD-centric things in Vulkan?

The limits in the US are essentially action.

You can say whatever you want.

But when you take an illegal action (or, grey area, compel someone else to take an action) then you lose free speech protections.

"Fire" in a movie theater is the classic example of the court deciding what sort of speech consitutes compelling action.

This in contrast to other many other countries, where there is no guarantee that speech-that-does-not-compel-action will always be free.

To me, speech vs action is a critical distinction, because it prevents anyone in power from monopolizing the marketplace of ideas by banning an idea itself. While simultaneously preventing the worst societal consequences from actions.

Or, in other words... neo Nazis should be allowed to march peacefully... but so should everyone else. And the latter should massively outweigh the former. (That said, nothing prevents keeping a much closer eye on violence-espousing neo Nazis)
so, uh, I lived in the Yukon for 4 years and have spent months in the Arctic Circle and all over AK and Yukon. I drove from Alaska to Argentina, I drove right around Africa and I drove around Australia, including the world's most remote 4x4 track - 1,050 miles in ten days without seeing another person or vehicle.

I, umm, know a thing or two about going remote without communications.

That last paragraph is self contradictory. If they had grounds on copyright law, then they must have been able to legally copyright their dresses regardless of whether or not they actually went to court. If you can't copyright a dress then they had no grounds under copyright law.

As far as I am aware you can't copyright a dress, unless it is like the banana that got nailed to the wall as art. The most relevant thing would be a design patent.

> Now we need app developers to log off their fiber-served wifi when writing messenger apps

You should try WhatsApp - there really are not many messenger choices when you have unreliable 2G(!) connectivity. For all the faults of Meta, WhatsApp seems to be the only company that cares about people with bandwidth measured in kbps, sometimes fractions thereof.
700,000 / 500 = 1400 half lives, or 2^(-1400).

There's, like, 5 scenarios and yet most HR companies don't EVEN say "hey, don't mention kids or pregnancy during an interview" because they don't rate the risk that highly. It wouldn't even take 2 minutes!

It literally happened to my wife the other day - she was asked if she wanted kids. HR could have warned them not to say that. Apparently they did not.

The same companies that don't give a shit about this don't suddenly become more legally risk averse when it comes to feedback. They aren't genuinely worried that your programming test feedback might say your algorithm was too jewy or your knowledge of data structures made you look pregnant. Theyre just afraid that your feedback will make them look stupid and don't want to admit it.

You know that Games/Applications can still be developed with Vulkan API targetting win32 and they can be run on Proton/wine in Linux which runs it without the DXVK (dx11->vk)/VKD3D (dx12->vk) translation layer, right? Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 are some of popular games which use Vulkan exclusively running on Proton.

This way you can evade proprietary DirectX12.
I'd be very, very surprised if it got anything more than 1 kbps in the next couple of years. Very likely much less (think several seconds to send a single SMS-length message).

That's how much Iridium and Globalstar (the two existing comparable LEO solutions) can do without large external antennas for current satellite messengers (Garmin InReach, SPOT, more recently Apple iPhones etc.)

Actually using 1-2 Mbps will likely remain unaffordable for a while even once it becomes possible, given the cell sizes and frequencies involved.

Starlink is much cheaper than that because it uses the Ka-band (which has tens to hundreds of times more bandwidth available for this application) and directional beams on both ends of the connection, vastly increasing spatial reuse.

> it's completely clear that the bet will pay off

I don't think that's completely clear. I mean, it probably will in some form, but it doesn't appear certain. That's why it's a "bet".
>We are talking about video.

The iPhone does multiple exposure HDR in video too. That's why the dynamic range is so good.

>They have far more, because the processing is done in post with powerful workstations.

If you are shooting RAW video, sure. Otherwise a significant amount of processing has to be done on the camera.

By all means link to any comparison that you think is relevant. But if it doesn't involve an iPhone 15, it doesn't tell us much about the iPhone 15. It especially doesn't tell us much about a video mode that's only available on the iPhone 15.
> and apple pretty much despise The khronos group

Is there anyone who doesn't despise the Khronos Group?

Meanwhile Vulkan is supported by Android, Nintendo Switch, Linux.

Windows, Apple Platforms, Xbox, PlayStation (aka where money for developers is) couldn't care less about Vulkan.

Apple.. and Nintendo.. and Sony.. Xbox.. And I guess Microsoft/AMD/Nvidia if you want the latest feature set on Windows the same year it comes out..

I'm fine with passing blame to all those parties for not getting it together and making Vulkan a first-class citizen. But reality is reality, they're not - Vulkan is a second-class citizen for all those HW manufacturers - ignoring that doesn't help.
I do think they're right that the footpaths and rights of way are underappreciated here. Whilst I would appreciate a proper right to roam, it would be more about being able to legally wild camp. In terms of actually getting to places there aren't that many interesting places that aren't already accessible.

There's barely a field around my house that isn't crossed by a footpath.

There are a loads of fantastic long walks to take on. Personally I'd recommend the south west coastal path. In particular the wilder Exmoor section, although there's barely a dull moment over the whole 1000km. There is definitely something incredibly mindful and calming about just spending time walking.
