It is very hard to have a good-faithed discussion if you assert generalisation like this. Do you have any statistics? Any real cases you've personally encountered? I mean I sometimes have to assume my whole life as a chinese person must be in a bubble. At least in my region, what so true. That's just my 2 cents.
Same question then, if it is CPU bound on a 13900k
Ask HN: Finding an old visual dictionary project with minimal vocab
There was a project, maybe posted here a few years ago, which showed a dictionary where you could click any of the words used in the definition and eventually it goes to a base set of words with pictures. The idea is that the dictionary is self-contained for language learners. Could have had some other languages as well.

One of its features was that the dictionary had no circular dependencies too.

Have tried searching here and Reddit for an hour, hasn't come up.
Step one: Reach a consensus on what the city's problems are.

Step two: Reach a consensus on what causes them.

The rest will follow from there.
Kinda defeats the whole point of MFA if you can just bypass it like that.

> Here is what I bet noone said about america in the 1400s:

The point I made is you can never know the benefits.

Asimov, end of eternity is a pretty nice book to see how your point of view might be flawed.

> Humanity has already proven, that it has the technical capability to alter an asteroids course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Asteroid_Redirection_Te...

Sure... we can barely detect asteroids and you're saying we can deflect them, is the argument in good faith?, do you really believe we can detect and deflect a planet killer?

> So purely from the perspective of resource-allocation, it seems there are better ways to protect humanity from asteroid impacts, than trying to build a mars-colony.

So you don't want humanity to waste resources on space. That is your point of view which I hope is a minority at large. I disagree, but I doubt I can convince you otherwisr.
If they said "The game is locked to 30fps" I'd probably have been ok with that. It's not a fast paced game, and capping the framerate at a low value is probably a decent enough design choice for that particular game. As you say, it's enough that you won't really notice it in gameplay.

The problem is that we're talking about the absolute highest end consumer card sold by nVidia rendering a blank map, without such a framerate lock in place. If it's not locked, then that framerate is the product of a performance bottleneck somewhere. With a modern gaming PC, "performance bottleneck" also means you're sitting next to a moderately powerful space heater.
Is it "made with :heart:"?

I only enjoy alphabetical lists of tools, ideally contained in orphaned repositories which have a bunch of outstanding pull-requests, and which are secretly designed to lure clicks to their sponsors if they've got red-heart emojis and reference the price of a cup of coffee.

AI overlords never drink coffee, so they can't appreciate what it means to sponsor such lists.
It sounds ike CHDs are hard disk images -similar to vhd files? While ROMS is semi-obvious (game images or firmware), "extras" can probably mean just about anything ...
next/image optimization works by default when self-hosting. You can optionally use basically any image service you want through a “loader file”.

Except Crysis looked incredible at the time. This is just Unity 3D graphics.
No it’s not. It’s a dumb thing to do from a construction perspective.
It's still absurd having to hand-craft that type of protection against racking up enormous bills, especially with cloud providers now actively promoting their various "free" tiers to hobbyists.

It reminds me of EU roaming before the regulatory cap, when a single video call close to the border could cost you thousands of Euros.
I still think of millions of dollars of GPU spend crunching away for a month as a compiler.

A very slow, very expensive compiler - but it's still taking the source code (the training material and model architecture) and compiling that into a binary executable (the model).

Maybe it helps to think about this at a much smaller scale. There are plenty of interesting machine learning models which can be trained on a laptop in a few seconds (or a few minutes). That process feels very much like a compiler - takes less time to compile than a lot of large C++ projects.

Running on a GPU cluster for a month is the exact same process, just scaled up.

Huge projects like Microsoft Windows take hours to compile and that process often runs on expensive clusters, but it's still considered compilation.
It's like playing in black and white, kind of. But yes 50 FPS is completely fine if you have not gotten used to better. Also helps if the game doesn't rely on high levels of detail (which Skylines, unfortunately, does), so that moving the camera around doesn't just make everything blurry.
I mean, the raw hardware surely costs around 100k, and no way that it costs more than ten million, so you're always going to be right with that "ballpark" qualification
>As 160+Hz monitors are finally becoming commonplace, it's becoming less defensible for games to run anywhere below 60fps.

You're forgetting the increasing popularity of the Steam Deck where even 60 FPS is a luxury so game devs should definitely have that as a target.

What a fun challenge. I'm definitely going to be daydreaming about this.
It can make sense, but serial job hoppers may also keep bouncing to the next thing before learning what the medium to longer term implications are of certain technologies or design decisions. For example operational issues and maintenance.

I’ve seen teams get screwed over by someone parachuting in to deliver v1 with shiny new tech and getting a pat on the back ($$) for a job well done. Fast forward 6-12 months and you realize the new tech debt is as bad or worse as the old tech debt.

That said, stagnation and sticking with Blub can also bring its own set of issues.
Poll: Would you buy Oxide, if you're a CTO?
With today's announcement of Oxide Cloud Computer, would you buy it for your business if you were the CTO (vs. Cloud or existing Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, or Renting Dedicated servers, etc.)?
Correct, I'm not sure what problem you're having but here's an upbeat response nicely stating it's not Vercel's fault, and/or explaining why it's not a real problem.

How do I optimise and convert all my static image files to webp with a PNG fallback, then render them as a srcset so the client can pick the best image?

I.e everything that’s done here[1]

Oh no. You can’t. You need to set “images.unoptimized = true” and be happy about it if you’re not using a cloud image service.

How can I build something for the Oxide Cloud Computer as a developer? Will there be something to simulate the APIs and so on?

Similar hardware for home labs and for personal computers with open firmware would be great. I'd also love to see servers with hardware which can be upgraded (rather than completely recycled).
Yeah, again "sorta" "approximates".

AWS is famous for making those alerts hard to set and error-prone. Honestly, I don't understand why people (instead of large companies) use them at all.
Somehow your definition of success doesn't have the actual definition of success: sustainable profitable business.

It's easy to see why: all the startups loudly hailed as successful are running into billions of dollars of debt every year, but keep being propped up by unlimited investor money. In any other industry this would be a failure.
There's really only one way. Get Arnold back somehow. I am not sure how, but put him in control of S.F and watch the city prosper again.
Oh that. That's more of a rage "quit" because of longstanding disagreements and personal problems with an individual, no "crew" ran them out. Of note it's not like they stopped their drama, it continued on the MAMEWorld forums. And it's not like aarongiles has stopped all MAME related work.

And even if I don't agree with cuavas entirely, they aren't totally in the wrong here either IMHO and they do explain their positions. I happen to agree with their disdain and disingenuity of keeping hoarded roms "safe", Aaron's sanctimony does get annoying at times even if unintentional and I can see how it can rub someone the wrong way, especially with as much effort invested as cuavas. Seriously if MAME was really the shithole a number of (primarily American clique) loudmouths have been saying it is, they should just fork, talk is cheap though

This would be bad if these closed subcultures were the only cultures to exist.

But that would be a self-contradiction, by the virtue of being closed, there are people who are not part of them, so they cannot be the only culture.
HN is an interesting place, but the bubble of privilege is more like a concrete dome sometimes. I'll sometimes tell people to imagine getting hit on the head with a hammer and then being unable to continue working their cushy office jobs (that could also describe my employment to some degree), and how they'd adapt, but that tends to get downvoted.

I suppose I'm actually rather fortunate to some degree; a lot of my issues could likely be resolved with a hip replacement, and I'm told the latest ones are very robust and can lead to nearly full natural function, but I haven't quite built up the courage to replace part of my skeleton with metal and plastic. As I say, I'm rather happily employed these days, but I've also been throught the odd layoff, so I know how precarious things can be.
The blog says they're the first
Note: at no point in my comment did I say I thought the specific dollar amount of the bandwidth markup was reasonable or unreasonable. I pointed out reasons why differential bandwidth pricing for ingress/egress exists at the major cloud providers, when you claimed there were no technical reasons.

Also note: VPS providers generally do not exist at the scale where they could or would pursue settlement-free peering. They buy transit from one (or, hopefully, more) upstream providers who have to worry about the first point I made. The VPS providers still have to worry about point #2, but they can do that by courting different kinds of customers, without the baggage (in the context of running a network) of a big legacy content distribution business that both Amazon and Google have.
I find your description of what this professor said a twisting of what he actually said.

Well, it was poor choice of words since you can't expect mobs with pitchforks to understand nuance, but if I can interpret his words favorabily to him, the exhiliration is not because some Israeli grandmas and babies were being butchered, but because; imagine a dog that's been kept in a small cage and abused for many years, wouldn't you expect it to hate its owner, and wouldn't you expect it to bite the owner, if given the chance; well, finally it's gotten a chance.

To expand on "poor choice of words"/"nuance", yeah ok, I agree with you to a degree, being exhilirated rather than horrified does seem to me he's taking the deaths for granted. Here's your whataboutism: it seems some of the "Hate Israel" camp take the Israeli deaths for granted, just like some of the "Hate Hamas" camp take the Palestinian deaths for granted and justify these with "Well, what can you do if Hamas hides among civilians?"/"It's Hamas' fault anyway, not IDFs!" and deaths painful to family and friends are just summarized as "collateral damage".
When you buy something expensive that has lavish marketing, you can be pretty sure most of the difference in price went to marketing.
Do you know the density of Switzerland? People in the US like owning homes.
The reason we suggest upgrading is because it’s extremely common that issues are already fixed or they cannot reproduce when we ask them to upgrade. It helps with issue triage so we can properly prioritize and fix issues.

If you can link the issue with a reproduction, I’m happy to look into it.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It almost certainly played a role in the band breaking up as well.
While I applaud how much OpenAi fears these negatives, given the current state of Ai trajectory, it won't be long until a future open source model gets "uncensored" and is easily usable for tons and tons of malicious intent.

There already exists a fantastic "uncensored" model with the newly released Dolphin Mistral 7b. I saw some results from others where the model could easily give explosives recipes from existing products at home, write racist poems, etc... and that's TODAY on a tiny 7b offline model. What happens when LLaama4 gets cracked/uncensored in 1-2 years and is 1T parameters?
Oh wow, it's even worse than I imagined
From the context, I assume it is a pun on hinterland as borrowed into English. Here, it is mostly synonymous with backwoods. The hinterland may sound more literary than folksy, or may emphasize an unexplored or less navigable zone rather than merely natural or undeveloped.

I wonder what the original blogger really meant by it. The discussion here seems to be focusing on either an axis of academic vs commercial or high culture vs pop culture, or maybe conflating the two. This isn't really about the level of development nor navigability but some other more abstract quality or purpose.

The developed land could hold a grand cathedral, a brutalist housing block, or a luxurious department store. The hinterland could have a frontier mission, a rustic cabin, or a trading post.
I didn't make my comment about this specific game.

That's not why boats float. Notice metal and concrete boats exist.
This is why I stick to locally grown native species of wood. My favorite is Red Oak but Black Walnut is a close second. Both are amazing woods with excellent qualities. Best way to make sure you aren't funding organizations that are killing people and destroying forests.
Personally I try to find work where:

1. I'm the only FE dev, with a strict separation between BE and FE work (and a BE team that's happy with this arrangement).

2. I'm given the keys to the castles in terms of technology and architecture for the FE.

This lets me maximize time spent understanding our product, our users, and iterating with PM/Design.
Good question, more research needed (on my side and perhaps in general related to this specific case).
On the one hand this makes me very happy that democracy can actually work things out (and quite well at that)... but on the other hand i'm still horrified people seriously tried to push the original proposal. Not sure what i feel summing up the two.

Severe CPU bottleneck normally implies that your CPU may need to be upgraded though? If you are running a 13900k, there isn't much room for that.
Free APA Citation Generator – Citify: Simplify Your Academic Citations
When I entered academia, I faced a challenge that, at first, seemed insurmountable: formatting citations in APA style. Every time I finished writing an essay or a research project, the task of creating accurate and correctly formatted citations consumed a significant amount of my time. I admit, there came a point where I simply felt lazy. The hours spent manually adjusting each citation left me exhausted and demotivated.

That's when I began developing Citify, a true game-changer in my academic life. This free and user-friendly APA citation generator completely transformed my approach to bibliographic citations. With Citify, what used to take me 15 or 20 minutes became an instantaneous process.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by APA-style citations, I encourage you to give Citify a try. This tool has been my constant companion on my academic journey, and I'm confident it can be the same for you. Simplify your academic life and discover the freedom to focus on what truly matters: your research and your learning.
I suggest trying BLIP for this. I've had really good results from that.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but the article talked about the friction created by scrolling and "Ctrl+F"ing. Cookie consent, 18+ (I assume you're talking about Reddit), etc are all laws, which I think you would have more luck contacting government officials than a front end dev.

The best part of programming is no one knows, or cares, what tech you used as long as it works, so if you want to make a website out of html, PHP and no JS you're free to do that.

If you want to work with people, you might have to make compromises because people have different opinions, but websites like IG could be built in a weekend by one person anyway, right? /s
> They must be prepared for a culture that vigorously prioritizes profitability and performance metrics, often with a sharpened short-to-mid-term focus due to the typical PE investment

Folks that comes from VC-Backed/Big Tech universe gets sometimes a shocking surprise when comes to PE held company.

Once in a previous employer (PE acquired company) our manager hired a person from FAANG and after 3 weeks the person told that he would like to know the company perks; and the lady of HR (that was the Office Manager also) told:

- Smoking area cubicle on the terrace

- 30 minutes a day of smoke break

- 5 daily capsules of coffee (some cheap version of nespresso)

- wet wipe and listerine on the masculine bathroom

- training for the fire brigade

After a week we never saw the guy again.
Someone should tell him about how git started.
> Imagine we gave you unrestricted access to OpenAI’s Whisper (transcription), Voice (text-to-speech), GPT-4V, and DALLE·3 models, and you were a malicious actor. Consider the most unique, while still being probable, potentially catastrophic misuse of the model. You might consider misuse related to the categories discussed above, or another category. For example, a malicious actor might misuse these models to uncover a zero-day exploit in a government security system.

It's so funny to me that this is written in the style of a prompt for an LLM. I can't explain why, but it's one of those things where "I know it when I see it." I guess if you spend all day playing with LLMs and giving them instructions, even your writing for a human audience starts to sound like this :D

I find stereo pair aerial imagery hugely helpful in understanding terrain. While Google Earth is great to get a gross overview, our eyes are much better at inferring sub-meter detail from pairs of stereo photos, e.g. from a single airplane taken a few seconds apart.

IKEA's Assault on Romania's Ancient Forests:

* IKEA faces allegations of aggressively exploiting the last of Romania's ancient forests.

* Ivestigations in the U.S. document IKEA's rush against time to exploit these forests.

* The primary motivation for this deforestation is sheer profit.

* Documented evidence shows complete and illegal clear-cutting of forests under IKEA's direction.

Romania's Forests – Europe's Amazon:

* Romania is home to one of the world's last and largest ancient forests.
The Carpathian Mountains in Romania house half of the remaining ancient forests, often termed as the "Amazon of Europe."

Economic Incentives and Unchecked Exploitation:

* Romania's entry into the European Union in 2007 opened markets for its abundant and cheap timber.

Political inefficiency and corruption have enabled unchecked deforestation and exploitation.

Reports suggest that more than half of Romania's timber is exploited illegally.

IKEA's Dubious Role:

* IKEA stands as the world's largest individual wood consumer, its demand growing by about 2 million trees annually.

* In 2015, IKEA began buying vast tracts of forests in Romania, quickly becoming the largest private forest owner there.

* IKEA has been linked to suppliers involved in illegal wood acquisitions, including notable names like Kronospan, Egger, and Schweighofer.

* The company has a pattern of aggressive forest acquisitions and connections with both legal and illegal suppliers, not only in Romania but also in countries like Ukraine and Russia.

LGBTQ+ Campaign as a Distraction:

* IKEA's promotion of LGBTQ+ rights is portrayed as a smokescreen to divert attention from its environmental and corporate malpractices.

* The promotion of LGBTQ+ ideologies, while noble in other contexts, is seen here as a corporate strategy to overshadow their illicit activities.

IKEA's Ideological Dominance:

* IKEA is not just a neutral space; it's portrayed as an ideological stronghold.

* There have been instances where employees were allegedly fired for not conforming to IKEA's political stance.
* A Polish court had to intervene to reinstate an employee terminated on such grounds.

A Moral and Environmental Dilemma:

* Romania faces a choice: to focus on rampant deforestation and exploitation by giants like IKEA or to be sidetracked by ideological debates while being economically and morally overshadowed by such corporations.
