The part that I don't understand is why AMD/Intel/somebody else don't just implement at least the base CUDA for their products.

HIP is basically that, but they still make you jump through hoops to rename everything etc.

There are libraries written at a lower level that wouldn't be immediately portable, but surely that could be addressed over time as well.
This is a rationalization for convoluted legislation. The impossibility of perfection is a poor excuse for mediocrity.

Notice that we almost never hear about corporations avoiding payroll taxes or VAT. They avoid this kind of tax in particular because the rules are unusually squishy and incoherent, and every time they find another way to do it, governments respond by making it more complicated or even less coherent instead of addressing the root cause and replacing it with something clearer and simpler.
The coffee one where it's brewed between 195-205 yet people say keeping it at 180 was negligence?

That's always bugged me ever since I made pour over, McDonald's essentially heated their coffee to the temperature it'd be if it was made fresh. Sure it was hotter than competitors, but it was hardly an impossible temperature for coffee to be. It's literally brewed hotter than they served it.

Ask HN: Do I need to reference Bing for the images it created?
I am managing social media for a small translation agency as a bureau coordinator and have created some images for social media posts with Bing (which uses DALL-E). Bing tells to mention that images were created with its AI. But I am not participating in any contests with these images, neither am selling them.
I just try to differentiate my old-fashioned agency amongst competitors.

Should I mention that images for our social media posts were created with AI?

Generally I wouldn't care to mention or not to mention, but our competitors are not mentioning where did they get their images for their SM posts. Though mentioning this may create some interest.

This doesn't seem like a bad thing. If I say something untrue about you, and that causes you to suffer damages, you should be able to come after you for those damages, regardless of whether I am a credit rating agency, a journalist, or a regular joe.

If I said to your employer, "I'm pretty sure judge2020 is a wanted criminal," and they actually fired you over it, you should be able to successfully sue me for lost wages (or if you sued your company, they should in turn be able to go after me).
Personal experience building infrastructure and an autoscaler for these things (which performed horribly due to API lag) while having weekly meetings with our GitHub rep to get the --ephemeral flag in (took about a year longer than promised). Sometimes the exit code would be 0 when using `--once`, and sometimes it would not be. Sometimes it'd also be 0 if the token somehow didn't work and the worker couldn't even register no matter how often you restarted it (of course with a cryptic Azure IAM error code). Either way, we eventually just decided that throwing away the machine if the runner exists for any reason was safest.

sorry, but ASCII is ANSI, so the ASCII control characters are ANSI characters, and I didn't even mention "ANSI's escape sequences" which are an escape from ASCII's single character meanings, but use the ASCII ESC character as it was intended, to escape within the ASCII framework. ANSI makes people think about controlling devices and ASCII also controls devices (not to mention bidirectional comms) so I think it's a good way to think of it.

Since we've all read the docs, but a bunch of you are laboring under misimpressions, I'm trying to say things in an unusual but truthful way to be the iceberg to the titanic of misunderstanding that thinks the BEL character doesn't belong in ANSI's ASCII protocol
I wish it would be so linear. But many otherwise brilliant people have / had horrible vices and addictions in which they ended up on their own, and despite their own overall brilliance they were utterly powerless to them (or just surrendered with a big grin).

Generally this makes sense to me, and if you are just dropping markup onto the page, and don't need to worry about repeating yourself when using that component, I think that works well. Definitely better than your alternatives.

But if you've encapsulated the component at all, you're going to need to manage that variant somehow. You can't just have an 'extra tailwind classes' prop, since you can't ensure your overrides will take precedence.

Why not expose the component's styles via component-level tokens referenced through css variables? Then your new variant is a single css class on the component root that sets any new component token values that are then loaded by the component's existing css.
> I read the article but didn't see exactly what has been lost.

TFA contains this: "The graphical display is the servant of information, not the master of it." and "the computer being a tool we use to better our lives".

I think what has been lost is that instead of a slave (not my terminology, it's the one in TFA btw) at your service, the computer has become a master and you're the slave. At the mercy of a few gigantic corps and states spying your every move and turning you into a consumer, instead of a producer.

It's made painfully obvious with the ultimate consumption device: the smartphone. Which are mostly used to consume pointless, debilitating, content and not to produce anything of value.

The computer as a tool still exists though: architects, 3D artists, accountants even (yup, they're needed), engineers, music creators... These professionals use actual computers, typically with gigantic screens, as a tool to help them.

It used to be only that way, for everybody, and that's what's been lost. The masses are mindlessly consuming content of exactly zero value on what they believe is a computer ("My smartphone is a more powerful computer than the computer of the 70s/80/s/90s!").

That's how I interpret it and I take I'm not very far from what TFA means.
"No one is afraid of writing code, we're afraid of maintaining code, and solving tedious and repetitive problems that already have solutions."

Then, enjoy maintaining React apps once React inevitably bites the dust and ends up in the JS framework graveyard.

I agree that the legislation need to be done properly, and be of high enough quality. But there is a lot of EU states, that have had these kind of systems for a long time, and would have experience with the pitfalls of this. If the EU manages to ruin eID in memberstates, with this legislation, that will probably enrage every citizens in countries that have them, let's hope the bureaucrats aren't that dumb.

Since the article was in the context of EU, I was commenting in the context of countries in it, or comparable to it. I'm sure you are right. A bad government will be able to turn anything, including something like this, into a bad thing.
Tailwind doesn't exist without a build step (at least since v2) — the whole point of Tailwind is that it is a build tool, an alternative syntax for writing CSS.

There's a kind of development version where that build step runs in the browser on page load, but it's still a build step in the sense of generating all that CSS dynamically, and it will produce a poor experience for a user if you try and use it in production.
Yeah, agreed that declarative is probably the wrong word, nix is Turing complete after all.

Also, thanks for the interesting article! It coalesces some concepts that have been tenuously anchored in my mind for awhile. The lack of a story around convergent solutions in the IaC tooling is one of my biggest frustrations and is a primary driver behind my unreasonable love for k8s. Eventual consistency in platform/infra automation is a superpower.

> Not all languages are equaly suitable to all tasks.

That is true. Although, I would make the argument that F# and OCaml are two of the best most general purpose languages available. They support the imperative, OOP, and functional paradigms effectively equally. About the only thing you wouldn't use them for is embedded real-time programming. Other than that, they're statically typed with great type inference and sane scoping and syntax (I find F# to be the "cleaner" language) and are performant.

and many more. There are times where htmx isn't the right choice, but the idea that its not useful for anything more than a hobby project is simply false.
ASCII, an ANSI code, includes the concept "information interchange" in the name, i.e. it is also a communication protocol, and also a terminal device control, inasmuch as it is also a character set. That's why OP was making a mistake claiming that "BEL" doesn't belong in there.

ANSI's escape sequences came later to control more functions for glass teletypes.

> There is zero chance that this debt gets paid off without massive inflation. Zero.

I mean, yeah.

It means either means that the government has done some shenanigans to get it there, devaluing the money supply, or our credit is so worthless that no one will even buy government bonds or do any work without up front payment.

There is a difference between having zero debt (which is not necessary nor a good idea) and balancing the budget while having a surplus (more money in than going out), which happened under Clinton and was squandered by Bush Jr.

It is possible to get there again with the right economy and a President and Congress that isn't starting endless wars or passing more tax cuts or dealing with a bank caused or a pandemic caused financial crisis.
Yep. I've said this often but whatever:

JS, CSS, and HTML aren't concerns, they are technologies that have cross-cutting concerns.

I'm sceptical on this: by now there are lots of ways to "peek behind the curtain" in the developer panel: we have the DOM view, network tab, heap view, built-in javascript prettifyer.

I’ve never trusted video slot machines, probably because I know as a developer how easy it is to rig them. Always show a jackpot hand if you’d have increased your bet, payout a winning spin every so often to keep the mark sitting down, and have the big payouts only happen to some who punches in the right combo on the right machine during a specific window in time.
Also, always run perf tests (especially using large writes - preferably up to the capacity of the drive!) for any drive that it is important 'you got what you paid for'.

Ok. I have seen the term LCM Lora a number of times. I have used both stable Diffusion and LORAs for fun for quite a while. But I always thought this LCM Lora is a new thing. It's simply not possible using current samplers to return an image under 4 steps. What you are saying is that just by adding a Lora we can get existing models and samplers to generate a good enough image in 4 steps?
Some of the comments here are so unbelievable but I guess I may fit into the more "hacker" part of Hacker News.

I absolutely can't stand this financial tracking. Nobody should. Cash sure is inconvenient, but at least try paying with gift cards or crypto like Monero, so many services support them.

If you're anti-tax more power to you, corrupt governments who launder EU funds don't deserve any more money.

I've heard several horror stories here about people getting deported and couldn't pay for education because their banks blocked them.

The credit card score system is absolutely dystopian and a foreign concept at least in my part of the EU. You increase your chances of getting doxxed by just having a credit card because all the credit score reporting is done publicly and exposes an enormous amount of data.

Never in my life have I ever walked into a store that doesn't accept cash.

Keep hearing talk about restricting cash payments. Never in my life will I or anyone I know comply with such a dystopian control of money.
Bans on state subsidies are a core principle that enables the EU single market. Otherwise the market could easily be distorted by state aid. However it’s far from simple in practice and is something the member states have been arguing about forever.

The rest of the eu has never been happy with irelands tax policy but since taxation is a national competency they can’t do anything about it directly. They can however frame it as state aid and try to attack it that way.

Edit to add, information on how state aid works in eu context: https://enterprise.gov.ie/en/what-we-do/eu-internal-market/e...
she did not, the exit code story is a different thing, though one I told on HN before. basically i spent half a year or so with writing infra and autoscaling for action runners on GCP, and there's absolutely nothing there i'm proud of. the pieces just didn't fit together. and weirdly enough, the majority of the blame isn't even with GCP and their broken image snappotting, slow provisioning times and asinine API design.

I meant relational programming in the sense that William E. Byrd uses it, as something like a close cousin or a different way of looking at logical programming

miniKanren is being used for research in "relational" programming. That is, in writing programs that behave as mathematical relations rather than mathematical functions. For example, in Scheme the append function can append two lists, returning a new list: the function call (append '(a b c) '(d e)) returns the list (a b c d e). We can, however, also treat append as a three-place relation rather than as a two-argument function. The call (appendo '(a b c) '(d e) Z) would then associate the logic variable Z with the list (a b c d e). Of course things get more interesting when we place logic variables in other positions. The call (appendo X '(d e) '(a b c d e)) associates X with (a b c), while the call (appendo X Y '(a b c d e)) associates X and Y with pairs of lists that, when appended, are equal to (a b c d e). For example X = (a b) and Y = (c d e) are one such pair of values. We can also write (appendo X Y Z), which will produce infinitely many triples of lists X, Y, and Z such that appending X to Y produces Z.

Your use of that image may qualify as commercial. Disclosure is up to you, but the same Fair Use clause that protects most AI art will almost certainly not apply to your use case.

Yes, it is going to be a rough week back at the office. Everyone on my team is going, even the person staying behind is going virtually. (I manage a team of HPC computational scientists). Hrm, opportunity for me to do some HPC!

Funny, the more I manage my team, the more I think I should not have moved into management, and want to go back to helping people use HPC as a computational scientist / sysadmin. Sure seems like it is really hard to get a job in HPC (as a manager wanting to go back to HPC, non-managemnt). Handed out so many resumes, so many interviews "so... tell us again why you want to go back to (this HPC job) and not be an HPC manager."

I hope all who go to Denver have a good time, and learn a lot.

For external drives, I would seriously consider using SSDs. Unless you use them exclusively as cold backups and handle them carefully and seldom, I would be far too worried about accidental drops. I have killed some external HDDs this way, never killed an SSD, even though I am far rougher with them. For extra reliability, buy two disks from different manufacturers (e.g. Sandisk/WD and Samsung) at different times and mirror the contents. Less chance of both disks going bad at the same time.

Talking about 3.5" HDDs, sourced from external drives: WD is still ok in my book. Both the Backblaze report [1] (newest, quarterly version, check the drive hours, WDC has less than HGST so far) and my own experience show they are ok. I used to buy HGST based on Backblaze's reports, but now I am using WD external drives in my NAS. My oldest and most used disk (one of the parity drives) has more than 3 years power on hours with nearly 900 start/stop cycles. It shows no signs of failure so far.

I get these HDDs from external drives (called "shucking"), 10TB WD My Book or WD Elements Desktop. It is a bit random what you get, but between 7 HDDs (+1 currently in testing) over about 3 years, I only had one non-Helium drive that runs hotter than the other all Helium drives. No failures yet, no bit errors as well, performance is at least good enough for media storage, currently reading at about 180MB/s sequentially.

I saw one problem: USB errors with WD's USB-SATA bridge and I even had to remove the newest disk to run the test, it would drop from the bus via USB. Might be because it is a refurbished disk or something fishy with the USB 3.0 ports on my server, so I won't blame WD for it.

We absolutely can rule it out. The justification is zero. The LLM has not and cannot verify any of the factual claims in its text. It can't even tell a claim apart from a non-claim. In legal parlance, the entire training set of an LLM is hearsay. LLMs do not produce any first party information. It's 100% third party.
