At least in the US, that is no longer the case. The FCC dropped the cable card in 2020. HDHomeRun cancelled their newer cable 6 tuner on that news. I was looking into getting one for a Plex server at the time.

I have no kids. My support of charters has nothing to do with that, especially seeing as I would live in a good public school district anyway.

I thought this was clear with the comment but I don't think charter schools teach better or cheaper. They just make it easier for kids to succeed by removing distractions. Before charters almost all of the poor children in the district were being thrown on the scrapheap. Now many of them are getting the education they deserve. I'll admit that I have no perfect solution. I'm not sure there is one. But it seems clear to me that I can't sit by and allow underprivileged students to face the conditions they historically have at public schools here.
After playing a bit with it, it looks like some variant of the marching cubes algorithm, and it looks recursive, as expected. Same as your Reddit thread but in 3D.

There are most likely a bunch of optimizations, but I can't think of another way of doing it. There are raytracing/raymarching techniques too, but these look different, and they are most likely cost prohibitive for arbitrary function. There is the marching tetrahedra algorithm too, but I doesn't look like it and don't see a reason to use it now that the patent for the marching cubes algorithm has expired.
I don't know that story, but it's a similar premise to "There Will Come Soft Rains"

Handle.com (YC W19) Is Hiring (ABM Manager)
I'm guessing not, since right at the top of that article, the average density of IBM's 2nm process is compared directly to that of TSMC's 3nm.
I like to call this zero sum management, and the parent to your post is a good example of positive sum management.

As long as the business is making money, the prospect of it continuing to make money in the near and medium term future is not in jeopardy, and the actors involved are rational, capable and trustworthy, you should always favor the worker over the work.

IME, zero sum management is an emergent symptom of a poorly performing business (maybe if we make everybody work 150% harder we’ll hit our targets this quarter), insecure executives (who don’t understand the work they manage), or poor hiring/firing practices (the only way to let somebody go is by overloading them and rewarding it with a poor performance review, or you’re hiring people who aren’t capable or don’t care).

If you’re a manager forced to make zero sum decisions and don’t feel empowered to change the root of that problem, you should probably consider leaving — good environments grow people instead of expending people.

Great read, very eye opening.

> Similar to developing for macOS, a Mac is pretty much required for developing for iOS and there’s the $100 per year developer membership fee. I think the combined income of both iOS and macOS (95% of which comes from iOS) barely covers the cost of the membership fee and the cheapest Mac Mini.

I think this contextualizes the post well, seems like overall revenues might be in the <$10k or even <$5k range. That's extremely hobby territory (/buying lottery ticket territory). Feels like at that scale a 'build whatever makes you happiest' heuristic is healthier for the individual and cross-platform support works against you.
> This sounds like a great definition of not-lazy, and it does not mention long hours anywhere.

Your definition of "not-lazy" by it's very nature relies on systematically working overtime.

Investigating and fixing flaky tests is either explicitly covered by a ticket, and thus a part of run-of-the-mill tasks, or something a developer does in unscheduled tasks by going above-and-beyond including in work hours.

Finding a bug, creating a ticket, and working on it is not proof of non-laziness as that's a part of the basic job description.

Refactoring a feature is either tracked by a ticket and covered in normal ticket-assignment processes, thus not a demonstration of lack of laziness, or it's something you do in your own time.

You have to clarify where you find the time to do all that "above-and-beyond" stuff because it's either normal work done on normal company time, which surely doing the normal/bare minimum is not proof of not being lazy, or it's going the extra mile, which is certainly not done during normal office hours.
We actually do some of that with Loom, mainly recording app bugs for others to repro, or demoing new features so code reviewers know how to test the feature. The videos are often short, less than 2 mins.
As far as QAnon goes, this would be like discovering an unsecured laptop that actually belonged to the original Q and had something like IRC channel logs that they used when generating "what won't they believe" type ideas.

As for Scientology and Mormonism, they don't have explicitly historical and rational claims to truth like the Catholic Church and some sects of Judaism do. Ask a fervent Catholic or Orthodox Jew why they believe what they do and they'll say "Because it's true." As far as I know (I don't spend significant time with Mormons or Scientologists), they don't make this type of claim to be historically validated by peak reason.
>It's the main point for people who want their children to succeed at the expense of the rest of society

Having a child achieve their full potential actually helps society, it does not hinder it.
In addition to what the other commenter said about Moores law, innovations like Flash Attention which reduced memory usage by over 10x and FA 2 which made huge leaps in compute efficiency show there is still a lot of room to improve the models and inference algorithms themselves. Even without compute we likely haven’t scratched the surface of efficient transformers.

Car-brain be strong.

You gotta give it to the auto-makers. Probably the greatest propagandists of the modern world.

The fact is that cars make places suck. They are dangerous to other road users, the roads built for them create dangerous microclimates, monopolise what was once shared infrastructure, and they enable evils such as the supermarket.

Cars are like guns in the states but worse.
> But measurements of weight, volume, […] are also part of the metric system, and those didn’t derive from the meter.

For volume this is obvious nonsense since the metric system expresses volumes in … cubic meter! And even weight, a kilogram is “the weight of a liter of water” (that is a thousands of a cubic meter of water).

The owner of a custom rotating house in California cited a similar reason for moving. The video is worth watching but here is the relevant section:

"I've had 18 heart procedures. My wife is in perfect health. The odds of me outliving her are zero...We're moving back to Coronado. This is a complex house, even though I think it's simple! For her to try and teach somebody else how to run everything and do everything would be difficult if something happened to me. So we're just kind of jumping ahead."

You can setup something to mount configuration files stored in say S3 -> into an EFS volume that you attach to all ECS tasks, for example.

The problem with ECS is that everything, including service discovery, is an integration with another AWS service. Making it even more difficult to ever migrate, but it does support much of what folks use Kubernetes for.

Ah, don’t forget the incredible experience of calling Comcast customer service because your special promotional rate expired and your monthly bill went up 25%, or the free HBO promotion that you couldn’t opt out of expired and you are paying $10 more, or any of half a dozen other anti consumer nonsense some scumbag at Comcast dreamt up. The most outrageous was one some Comcast rep called me to tell me I qualified for a free DVR upgrade because I was such a loyal customer. By loyal I guess they meant captive, but ok. I don’t watch TV and only had a TV package cause it was somehow cheaper than just internet due to some promotion, but sure whatever. Turns out by free he meant like an extra $30 per month. Took me a few billing cycles to notice. I had never even unboxed it. They refunded me after several hours on the phone. I should have invoiced them for my time. I got rid of them as soon as I had an alternative.

I've learned that You cannot accelerate writes to a single memory location by adding cores. Memory bandwidth is fixed when running on a single core, when you add writes from other threads you want thread safety, which slows things down. Mutexes do not scale. If you want to saturate the memory bus you can read and write to different locations and fan out.

I am working on a multithreaded barrier which does mass synchronization on a schedule, a rhythm.

It can send ~169 million messages a second across 10 barrier threads and 63 million event ingests from 3 external threads.

Your algorithm has to be redesigned to support this style of programming. Even message passing can be slow due to context switches. But bulk buffer processing is fast.

Violates headline rule
Cef-tex demonstrates bringing a web-browser supporting spatial audio into an older version Godot engine.

https://github.com/meltyness/cef-tex

The build system is a VS file with god-knows-what hardcoded, doesn't properly reference CEF or Godot, and is therefore locked to Windows platform only (though Godot can theoretically run everywhere), and is probably full of a bunch of other footguns that I haven't even thought of. Got 5 stars on GitHub just from tag discovery, and the wishful thinking of some Godot-ers that I'll ever have time to un-suck it. It's also got R-rated comments, a video demonstration, and a short written log of the weird hurdles I had to surmount.
I'm getting kind of tired of this constant use of the term "enshittification."

It's too loose.
Jing was such a brilliant simple concept. For years I used to make it mandatory for my team to install it.

Codegen is an area that seems to have the best breakout performance compared to the big FMs. In hindsight it should be obvious given that openai created Codex.

However, I am skeptical that smaller and more focused models will do well for more general tasks. I’ve found gpt-4 to just be flatly excellent for tasks that involve emitting a custom DSL and customer-provided business context (the latter being something we cannot train for, not without immense expense).

> >The philosophical issue is charter schools use public resources yet are not accountable to the public.

> They absolutely are accountable to the public in their school district, who can choose to send their kids not to that school if they don't like the school, depriving the school of revenue.

Having a choice between charter school and public school without enough resources to provide even basics to its students is not a choice. It's even worse because parents of children in public schools most likely also lack resources to help their children(be it material or cultural). So children in public schools end with a double whammy, neither parents(or parent) or school can help them.
Platform innovation requires control over your own API, because you want to expose the features and architectures that make your platform excel and that weren’t accounted for in abstracted tools. There will always be incompatible native API’s.

Meanwhile, a ton of apps and games are completely agnostic to those cutting edge platform differences and are going to thrive in least common denominator sandboxes. And making those sandboxes easy to use for some specific style/genre/skill-level is always going to be the competitive difference between them. So the big high-level things are always going to exist too.

But… so are the near-metal abstractions that let you cut through and interleave cross-platform and platform-specific code even in high-performance paths.

You wanted the last group to “win”, but the ecosystem inevitably involves all three. There will always be something like Metal, there will always be something like Unity, and there will always be something like SDL. Winning isn’t necessary.

I quit my job at the bank after a bad experience. With no source of income I started to develop this game. After 3 days in, I thought to myself "who am I kidding? I won't be able to sell this and make money" so I went job hunting and found the job I work today (3 years in).

Although it looks like it only have one level, it doesn't. I wrote a level generator for it.

I did spend a lot of time working on things that don't matter, for instance screen orientation. My goal was to have one game that i could sell in any platform, mobile or desktop.

Maybe I'll finish it someday.
> until turnover is high.

You're making it sound like having someone quit is a blocker. Some managers see that as shedding the dead weight, and keeping in the guys who are the team players with endurance. The guy who complains about code quality suddenly leaves and all of a sudden there are no more complains about code quality, and worst case scenario you have new joiners trying to onboard and cause a good impression who don't care if code is shit because their goal is to shine.

How did you solved that problem?
> What if your computer is still accessible for Intel ME surveillance because the VPN server is also Intel ME and they would negotiate somehow to keep having your Intel ME instance an ability to phone home?

This would require the hardware backdoor to be aware of and integrate with the specific VPN that you used, which could be a version of the code published after the hardware shipped.

> Is in possible to have a VPN provider which guarantees not having any Intel machines on the network?

Irrelevant unless the code on your side could hook the VPN, though of course you could.

The better attack would be to have the compromised firmware send its packets using the addresses and ports of some existing connection regardless of its contents, and then have a compromised ISP read them. But even that could be detected by logging the packets at the clean firewall. If it records any that aren't a part of the VPN connection then you've got yourself a rat and a scandal.
For one thing, most GUI mail readers will automatically convert the `>` into nested block quotes.

For another, it's not common to see more than 2 levels of `>` (your text, the thing you're replying to, and the thing they're replying to); and yes, when it gets past 4 it begins to get really unreadable, so my gut feel is that it's extremely rare (although I wouldn't be certain without doing some sort of data mining).

As I said, the main advantage of using email is the flexibility you have in editing the response; part of learning how to use the review workflow effectively is learning how to present the context; which means trimming the replies to balance information and readability.

I'm sure the hardware survey is biased towards Linux, but it's still a surprising result! Especially so, given that I originally only released the game on Windows (and later added Linux support after getting multiple requests to port the game).
