It's not either or, you can combine the two. I've worked on a system that did real time audio mixing for 10000s of concurrent connections, utilizing >50 cores, mostly with one thread each. Each thread had thread-local data, was receiving/sending audio packets to hundreds/thousands of different IP addresses just fine without worrying about mutexes at all. Try that with tens of thousands of actual OS threads and the associated scheduling overhead.

Having data affinity to cores is also great for cache hit rates.

Here is part of the C++ runtime this is based on: https://github.com/goto-opensource/asyncly. I was the principal author of it when it was created (before it was open sourced).
What is wrong with the Republican Party? Texas produces more renewable energy than California. The redneck attitude of do whatever you want on your land, and anti-regulation attitudes are far more important than political grandstanding.
Om Malik: Social Internet Is Dead. Get over It
There are no dramatic shifts in IPC recently and within the same family of processors like Intel core. That makes clock speeds a pretty decent proxy for (peak single core) perf. You can compare a 4GHz from a couple of years ago and know with some accuracy what to expect from 6Gz.
X has a ton of cultural impact today—it’s just that the audience has shifted from neoliberal to classical liberal/libertarian. Lots of politics, philosophy, tech news, and culture thrives. It’s just not happening in your bubble evidently.

A portable way to do this could be with sigtimedwait or sigwait plus sigpending or multi-threading.
Vercel employee threatens user over domain similar to own project, gets fired
Generally this is deemed “Jevons Paradox” and is part of why, ironically, consoles do not hold back game development but actually improve the experience for the majority of people - by setting hard caps on how much demand can actually be requested of a computer for a baseline experience.

Yeah, during the 2020 election, I was often 48+ hours ahead of print news, and 24+ hours ahead of NPR and TV.

Some MP must've received a handsome 'donation' from a lobbyist.
How about downgrading all connections from said proxies to http 1.1? This can be done in coordination, but it ought not to be too hard to embed such ‘graylisting’ functionality in a webserver.

(No I don’t expect any response but I am just leaving this thought for those who stumble on this thread in the future).
> All of this is a distraction from the point of the story, which is that being on X is virtually worthless for brands.

This is assuming that the benefit is from instantaneous rather than long-term conversions, which is more likely to not be the case for something like a media outlet.

How you get users from something like Twitter is when other people retweet your stuff so it gets discovered by people who aren't already familiar with you. For established outlets that happens regardless of whether you have an official account. Maybe it happens less because Twitter users might have followed the official account and then seen and retweeted more stuff. But even there what you're really after is discovery to gain more long-term listeners, which isn't going to show up as a short-term effect anyway.
Search became the only way to access platforms and sales channels.

Google is the gatekeeper of search. (Just as an app store is the gatekeeper of software on a mobile platform.)

Google gets to tax every inquiry into your product, even those with direct sales intent.

If you put people on a bell curve distribution, some non-negligible percentage will always click on the first link. Google taxes all of this.
most job reqs for these positions seem to say that a PhD is required; are you saying that published papers, conference talks etc. could serve as an equivalent for the PhD?
> pretty much only in the US that there are union workers and non union workers in the same field

China. India. Japan. Korea. Pretty much all of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Unions are prevalent in Northern Europe [1]. That's it. That's the exception.

Outside Northern Europe, countries with great workers' rights [2] have between one in four and one in six people in unions.

IMO, the aggressive de-duplication of questions means that people will keep updating the answers as things change, which is really nice as you don't have to worry about the responses to a question becoming out-of-date/stale.
> A decade later they'd built out their business (RIP Sun, though) and had solid positions in the market, not easily displaced

They were given the ability to build out their business.

Companies like Hashicorp and other OSS core companies have revenue numbers roughly comparable to what would give you an IPO even 10 years ago. Mind you, Hashicorp is public, and their YoY revenue is around $520M a year.

The issue was they listed to minimize their IPO listing "Pop" (probably due to pressure from late stage investors IME), and this doomed them as a $70-80 per share value is difficult for any company to hold. Companies like Salesforce ($3.95) and RedHat ($14) listed at much lower share prices.

Lots of companies IPOed/SPACed during that time period as a number of the funds matured and needed to return profits to LPs. I know Social Capital had a similar thing happen due to Chamath's acrimonious divorce leading LPs to call their funds earlier. That's probably the most prominent example, but there were plenty of other funds that had a drawdown during a similar period.
If you have a chance try it out via the Discord bot or with the GitHub repo! Or even just check out the short demo GIFs we released (at https://github.com/cpacker/memgpt) to get an idea of the MemGPT inputs/outputs.

The high-level memory read/writes are quite intuitive and you may be surprised at how closely it matches what you were suggesting to your friend.
Nature's missing evolutionary law identified
For workloads not offloaded to dedicated hardware (NN/LLM), I say CPUs for end users have been "good enough" for four or five years.

The impressive things have been in efficiency, and in implementing new kinds of logic/instructions/architectures.

I'd be plenty happy with my 5+ year old laptop if it had more than 40 minutes of battery life (Yeah I need to order a new battery. Yes, batteries used to be replaceable in laptops).
no surprise. the website is quite bad, to put it politely. the experience just really sucks.
Babylons triage was a set of very basic questions. The problem here is there is only so much it helps you. They would try to use it to shunt you to Advanced Nurse Practitioners instead of GPs. Which is fine - I'd often pick one myself if I knew that'd likely be enough.

But it'll be rare they'd be able to safely tell people they don't need an appointment, and I'd have to imagine it doesn't take many ANP appointments leading to a referral to a GP before their savings from referring to a nurse first disappears.

I'm sure it'll eventually pay off, but I'm not sure just how many appointments they can avoid that way.
> Designers and companies of the world, you are badly serving an ever-growing segment of your customer base, a segment that you too will one day inhabit.

That last part - "a segment that you too will one day inhabit" - is one which should be shouted from the rooftops and ingrained into folks when they are in their early teens or twenties - before they get employed as designers of any kind.
20 years ago when the first wave of outsourcing to India happened, a lot of the engineers there were not great. Nowadays there are amazing engineers in India also. They do know what they are worth though, so you cannot low ball them. But they are still working for quite a bit less than Bay Area folks.
I'm suspicious of the food numbers too. The CPI substitues things like hamburgers for pot roast. The price of a healthy diet has increased, the price of a dose of Soylent green is less than the price of what a healthy diet used to be. And I think that is what they are reporting.

Energy is cheaper, but we need more of it with years of back to back escalating extremes for both heating and cooling. Moving somewhere that isn't an impact gets into the housing issue.

And then medical and education are out of control.

Edit: to clarify, I am not laying all this at the feet of the idle rich, nor do I think idleness or wealth are bad things. They are great things we should all strive for for ourselves and others. I lay it at the feet of all of us who have made bad decisions, but some are more responsible than others, and many of those that shaped the policies that lead to these issues are wealthy as a result.
The reality is that Intel is back to kicking ass in the CPU market and it's a glorious thing to see. Good competition is a wonderful thing.

AMD has its work cut out for it, Intel is awake and desperate again.
Yes. It sounds like your logic matches the law better than mine.
Not with the same constraints. How often does your program expect to run out of memory for example? On phones at that time it was expected to be common and it was absolutely essential that it be handled gracefully.

Were all your operating system calls asynchronous?
NBA has maximum contract sizes in its CBA. James (and many others) get the max contract allowed, which is why the best players choose teams for reasons other than money.
> For topics that can be understood using experimentation, faith is not required.

To put this another way, faith is the excuse people give to rationalize believing in things for which they have no verifiable evidence.
And brightly lit downtown office buildings!
I'm going to repeat, clearly.
The observations themselves are not a theory. Grouping them together is.

> That things fall towards the earth isn't a theory.

Actually, it is.

Any given object falling once is an observation. Noticing more than one thing falling consistently is a theory.
> What divisiveness?

Unions are fundamentally about putting workers and management into separate categories. (And unionized workers on a pedestal above others.) In an industrial context, this makes sense. In a start-up, it does not.
>sells well enough to have been done

Most books almost certainly lose money for the publisher. It's more complicated from the author's perspective given that people write books for a variety of motivations but, certainly, most books are doing well to earn out their advance which can easily be only $1,000 or so.

But, as you say, even those that sell "well enough" initially fall off pretty quickly. And some sorts of titles such as non-fiction about current tech stacks or software versions have a very limited shelf life.
I broadly agree with the underlying sentiment, however this is a classic false dichotomy espoused by people and interests heavily invested in maintaining the status quo. I would argue that news organizations like ProPublica could exist without copyright, and does not rely on public funds. NPR and PBS are publicly subsidized, but not to the extent that they are obliged to operate as state media (or can even be credibly accused of bowing under pressure from government actors). It’s a convenient myth that copyright is somehow inevitable or necessary, or that it fosters creative endeavors.
You are clearly overworked. Your brain activates defenses to get you away from work so it can heal itself. Slow down and look for a professional that can prescribe you with medication that can accelerate the healing process.
Interesting given that Jeff Atwood co-founded SO and Discourse.
I think it’s appropriate.

Delusion tends to describe a state of being, in the form of delusional. Hallucinations tend to be used to describe an instance or finite event.

Broadly, LLMs are not delusions, but they do perceive false information.
This is confusing - the reporter claims to have "crafted the exploit" using the info they got from Bard. So the hallucinated info was actionable enough to actually perform the/an exploit, even though the report was closed as bogus?

This is what I’ve been doing for years, with some aliases to set work or personal. But honestly, I’ve started to find it annoying enough (for those first commits) to start wanting something else; yet still not annoying enough for me to research a different solution.

Interesting use of data. But some places near me have actually decided to actively make their lights timing worse, to encourage fewer cars to travel through the city.
Stardew Valley is certainly impressive for a one-man project and a success, but hot take, it's not that good in the grand scheme of things. "Jack of all trades, master of none". You can't overcome physics and the human lifetime.

Certainly, one can be a jack of all trades, and certainly, there's value in being so, but you're giving up mastery which has its own value, and comparatively, having multiple specialists collaborate is better than having multiple generalists.
The comment you replied to was only two sentences, one of which described “by what logic?”

In astronomy we label everything in the "Everything else" bucket as "metals." So oxygen and carbon are considered metals in astronomy. Our periodic table is quite a bit simpler.
> Back then, user mode code was thought of as being like what we know call unikernels with the kernel thought of a bit more like a hypervisor. The individual user sessions were, early on in Unix's history, only a couple more primitives on top of what we'd later think of as DOS style environments, simply multiplexed on the hardware.

Hang on, at which point was this?
You cannot rivet aluminium that you don't have presumably.
Culture might be a link between risk taking venture capitalists and less publicly financed social security. However I do not think there is an economic lock that forces a society to be either or. I can easily imagine a society that provides both a good safety net and where capitalists are willing to invest and innovate.

I guess what is missing is the right mentality and attitude, so like, our cultures have not evolved to that level yet.
The NBA has a cap on how much each player can make (around $50M this year). Lebron could be, say, worth $100M/yr, yet they can't be paid this. I'm guessing that there are around a dozen players in the league worth more than the max salary.
It also makes sense because the kernel has no way of knowing. When you exec a binary, all that the kernel sees is an ELF image with a blob of bytes in the .text section. It doesn't know which part(s) of those blob of bytes is a signal handler. Even if it did know, the kernel has no way of verifying that the function is only ever invoked by the signal (userspace could manually call the signal handler function).
Has anyone else noticed that LinkedIn is turning into a shitty social media platform? Memes and videos are now being posted.

I used to get decent use from it but stopped updating my profile because the site is cancer. Full of self patting on the back and people adding me to “grow their network”. Recruiters contacting me with “perfect fit” position in languages not on my profile.

Can someone please develop hacker news type basic site but for jobs? No memes, no dark patterns, no likes.
env0 CEO here. From the article:

He added that it offered to carry on working with the four main companies affected by the switch, saying “You just have to bear some of the r&d costs. And they were like, ‘No, no, we're gonna do something else’. Which is fine.”

I want to clarify that nobody ever approached us (env0) from Hashicorp.

Twitter owed much of its success to drawing a large number of people who had become famous for doing well in their fields, and as a reader I could trust that they were actually those people because of the blue checkmark.

Once that went away, those people started to leave, and Twitter descended into a morass of nonsense, as they were replaced by people who never did anything notable in their lives but were jealous of the attention given to those who had.
Weird as the only time I visited NPR was from twitter links and now that NPR is gone, I don’t even notice. Sounds a lot like cope to say a huge distribution channel isn’t helping
It does seem likely that I'm an outlier . OTOH it could be that just people that have had bad experiences are posting their experiences and the silent majority without bad experiences aren't posting. It's so hard to tell in a forum format.
That would be very easy to circumvent.

You can describe effectively the same software engineering job in a way that sounds completely different. "close a project" of the old team, etc.
From the two paragraphs at the start that I can read, I've gotta say that this is more novel than I expected. "Who looked up the address of the house that burned down before it happened?" It got them 5 leads.
> how do you propose we align around such things?

For one, get tech workers to vote. Ironic detachment from politics still appears to be a thing for many in our industry. After that, this is political organization 101. For all the tech unions we do have, I haven't seen them try to expand workers' rights broadly. Because why would they. That's the competition.
Fair. I don't have a car payment or children at this point which are the two big other costs where credit cards definitely don't make sense.

A bit surprised on utilities though. Nowhere I've lived on the west coast has charged a service fee for paying electric, gas, water, phone, etc with a credit card.
> Sure they do, so long as there are enough performance cores to go with it.

9th gen i9 had 8 cores, 10th gen i9 had 10 cores, 11th gen went back to 8 and it's been stuck there since

the 14900k is benchmarking worse than the 14700k

there's only so much windows crap running in the background that needs e-cores

> The CPU segment is years ahead of where it needs to be in regards to gaming, there's absolutely zero practical concern in gaming around e-cores.

speak for yourself, my machine is CPU capped in esports titles after about 300fps or so

more e-cores sat idle does nothing here
Well, it's implied. Why else would it be notable?
Wildfires are handled by the US Department of the Interior. However they're not really something that can be regulated. Intentionally starting a wildfire is just arson, which would be handled by either local law enforcement or the FBI depending on how big the fires got. But the overwhelming majority of wildfires are unintentional - someone left a campfire unattended, someone didn't properly put out a cigarette, an electrical line went down, etc.

But from an emissions standpoint, the proximate cause of a wildfire is irrelevant. The fact is that a wildfire's emissions are not due to industrial pollution, which is what the EPA regulates.
Reading about a lot of layoffs today from Linkedin Bandcamp and more. Hope everyone lands on their feet.
The notion of the United States as a bringer of peace through tiny projects in distant parts of the world will strike many people as unintentionally hilarious. No country has brought more war to more places on the planet in recent years than the United States has. Even if every one of these interventions had been morally sound and, in practice, fantastically successful, we’d still be underwater in terms of lives lost and general all-around misery. No matter how many lives are saved by persuading both sides to take up knitting and together make a machine-gun cozy, that number will be fewer than the number who have died because of military operations or the shortages of medicine and food that go with them.

I am astonished that green light engineering has not gotten more attention/application over the last, say, 20 years.

So much data is available and 99 percent of all traffic lights seem to be following simple timer logic at worst and some vehicle detection at best, to prevent giving green to non existing traffic.

It almost feels like a no-brainer to start optimizing light signaling by leveraging the massive amounts of data and simulation techniques we have since not far into this century.

That said, I'm not sure / concerned about, how well protected our (location) data is when sharing vast amounts of it between governments and huge for-profit companies.
(Not OP.) If you can, I think you should. Sometimes the type of contribution you can make is not accepted. For example, some projects don’t accept donations.
FWIW, this headline seems pretty misleading. X wasn't fined for some actual child safety concern, but because they didn't fill out a government form requesting information with all of the answers filled in such as providing the average response time to a child safety report.

And interestingly, X wasn't alone in not providing all of the requested information. On that specific question (average response time) Google also wasn't able to provide that. And other companies in their own answers cited that the request was a bit vague in that different CSAM reporting methods, like providing buttons for flagging some content but requiring webforms to be submitted for other content, made it harder to find the right methodology to answer the question.

Now the question becomes, should X have answered all of the questions as best as they can? That probably would have been the smartest thing. But I'd bet on X having a pretty decent argument in response. But whoever is organizing the 2 minutes of hate against Musk got their negative headline, which is all some people seem to care about right now.
She has Ubuntu for a long time and it was really good. I forgot why I left Windows in the new machine, but I think she’s dependent on Zoom at least, maybe a couple of other apps. I may give Ubuntu or Mint another go when I’m visiting next time.

In either case, it’s insane that it’s come to the point where Linux is recommended on the basis of UX for non-savvy people. I wish vendors has these options and support, but people who don’t have a savvy friend or family member will probably never even have a chance to consider it.
