What would make you happier? I ask in earnest, since finding meaning is a lifelong pursuit. Being able to thumb our nose at the universe by colonizing Mars before the sun wipes out the solar system appeals to my rebel tendencies, since the sun is the ultimate authority, after all. May as well give it a good run for our money.

There’s also a chance that being on Mars is exactly the right spot to be in when our sun starts to expand.

I guess I like the idea that even if we humans don’t get there, something that descends from us might. Actually, I like the idea that something a few steps up the evolutionary tree (like an alligator) will spring to life and discover the merits of language, if some cataclysm wipes us out. Or maybe reptiles in space is just my thing. The early Apollo missions were a missed opportunity to make a lizard astronaut a reality.

If there’s some other way to escape the existential dread of none of what we do mattering whatsoever, please share. It’s at least nice to imagine that one of our cells will make it from earth to mars.
Are you suggesting that a thief won't snatch your +$1k Galaxy S23 Ultra because they'll only get $700 instead of $900 for a similarly priced iPhone?

I'm not sure if they're that picky.
I've been working towards an idea like this part time while scrambling to make ends meet with low paying contracts from Upwork. Most of which is a waste of time. I am starting to think that bootstrapping doesn't make sense anymore. When everyone and their mom is getting money thrown at them.

I have been built so many MVPs and projects by myself at this point. I suspect that the real reason I am doing it is because I just don't have a good social network etc. and so it's a stretch for me to raise money.
Do you assume that Apple would be forbidden from offering repairs, if they stopped locking their hardware from the consumer?

This is such a common comment in these kinds of threads: "I'm happy with the choice they've forced on me, therefore the force itself is desirable." Like being happy your prison cell has a nice view.
A use case where you’re executing arbitrary code provided by users and you don’t want to have to maintain the environment for doing so (reliability, security boundaries, etc).

Agreed. This isn’t actually that useful of a guide in the first place.

Tbh the most basic question is: “are you innovating inside the AI box or outside the AI box?”

If inside - this guide doesn’t really share anything practical. Like if you’re going to be tinkering with a core algorithm and trying to optimize it, understanding BLAS and cuBLAS or whatever AMD / Apple / Google equivalent, then understanding what pandas, torch, numpy and a variety of other tools are doing for you, then being able to wield these effectively makes more sense.

If outside the box - understanding how to spot the signs of inefficient use of resource - whether that’s network, storage, accelerator, cpu, or memory, and then reasoning through how to reduce that bottleneck.

Like - I’m certain we will see this in the near future, but off the top of my head the innocent but incorrect things people do:
1. Sending single requests, instead of batching
2. Using a synchronous programming model when asynchronous is probably better
3. Sending data across a compute boundary unnecessarily
4. Sending too much data
5. Assuming all accelerators are the same. That T4 gpu is cheaper than an H100 for a reason.
6. Ignoring bandwidth limitations
7. Ignoring access patterns
Europe Shifts Industry, Emissions and Pollution to Balkans
>> Where possible, default to defining style and behaviour with inline HTML attributes

This was my critiquing point as well. Style configurations should be separate from actions, with only references linking the two. It's the only way that makes sense for anything meaningful.

Yes, I could technically write a python app where all SQL database connections have hardcoded SQL as one one long file, but that is poor practice. This suggested principle seems the same to me.
This was researched by academics and published in an academic journal. What kind of scholarship does society gain from this? Did no one in the chain take and objective look and consider this unworthy of study, or is the publish-or-perish paradigm so misguided (and worthwhile avenues of study so crowded) that we end up with a paper on frozen shit?
Eh, we're doing that smartest/most intelligent thing that always has lead to problems in human perception.

An adult Chimpanzee can rip your arms off. Pretty much all it's muscles are fast twitch. Of course you're going to have far better dexterity than the chimp, because you have a much better balance of muscle fibers.

That's the thing about intelligence, it's about generalization, not specific ability. A CPU can count to a billion in a second, nothing about that speed means it's 'smarter' than you.

This is also why we're going to have to come up with new metrics on abilities as we develop more general intelligence software to see how and where said software differs from humans.
no matter how bad the idea, there’s always someone waiting to turn Apple’s bad idea into a poorly implemented, even worse idea

They have much more to be annoyed at. VPN companies, The Tor Project, AD blockers, etc

I use the Google One VPN[0] to cloak my real IP, but only sparingly. For most of my Internet surfing I use a two hop VPN setup. One VPN router with kill switch mode, and then I connect to another VPN service on top of that, a sort of fake Tor / private relay setup.

I don't funnel all my traffic into Google One's VPN. I like to compartment and not put all my eggs in one basket. Looks like I'll be doing the same when this new Google-owned IP cloaking feature ships.

If you're doing anything more than 2-4 layer PCBs, I'd make one more caveat... through-hole-via! It makes getting to test points much easier from both sides of the board, and if you're using pogo-pin testers, helps align the pins.

Unfortunately, if you're doing anything highspeed (>100MHz) or differential, then such vias (except at connectors) are highly frowned upon since they increase loading, crosstalk, imbalance, and reflections.
We're already outside of the envelope that I envisioned as a kid for the era we are living in and the departure gets more extreme with every year that passes.

But we seem to have been unable to outrun wars, greed and outright evil. Those you can definitely count on for the longer term unless we start to actively work against them.

I think it makes it more unclear, not less. I parse it as "attack against danish and critical infrastructure", matching the standard usage of commas in english. "Critical danish infrastructure" only has one possible interpretation in standard english imo.
My point is that the extra price is worth these features. If they charged $1k I wouldn’t buy them
The nuclear-powered jet engine:

In 1954, GE even put a nuclear-powered jet engine on a test stand in Arco, Idaho. It ran for more than 100 trouble-free hours before the project was shelved. The idea was that the the engine would use heat produced by a nuclear reactor aboard the plane to generate thrust. A plane with these engines could theoretically stay in the air for days and weeks. Although the U.S. Air Force did modify a B-36 Peacemaker bomber to carry a nuclear reactor, it never used the engines.

From https://www.ge.com/news/reports/the-nuclear-powered-jet-engi...
Yeah, but the article talks about barter in the sense of transacting with natural resources like gold and diamonds. Graeber's point is that these items (along with debt) were mainly used as tools of arranging social relationships. They weren't used for general purpose economic barter as we know it. That only came later, after states introduced coinage and fiat money.
Replace it immediately, not soon.
RedHat is just a bad maintainer because they have a commercial interest in wayland.

They've done the same to CentOS of course - just taking it over to kill it because it's in their way of selling paid licenses.

I'm surprised how much support they have been getting from the community. They managed to frame perfectly normal open source users as "freeloaders" during the whole CentOS and closing source debacle surrounding RHEL. And the community seems to be happy parrotting this twisted narrative. The whole reason for FOSS is to share.

It's one of the main reasons I moved to FreeBSD, I don't want my OS to be a stringpuppet for big tech.
It doesn't look like any bay would be correct for that charger.
If you believe people have 100% control of their actions all the time you know very little about human behavior.

Humans are barely rational bundles of emotions, urges, and instincts. Sometimes the rational part of your brain wins, sometimes the lizard brain that wants to see pretty colors and numbers go up wins.
It's pretty shocking how the market has failed so roundly to do basic cooperation. There have been some battery swapping alliances/consortiums formed in Japan and Europe, but afaik there's no infrastructure to support it like Gogoro. With some basic self monitoring, Gogoro seems to be more than enough, a "just works" system that more than proves the concept.

That said, all of these systems seem to target pretty low power mopeds. Gogoro's top end models are 10 HP/7.5kW. The bike here can deliver 23kW and peak at 40kW (53 HP). All these pack designs are 48V models, which clearly isn't targeting high power applications. It'd be great to see a bigger battery spec that was built for higher power, using a 200V+ architecture. The bike here has a mild-ish 7kWh capacity - that's like 2-3 gogoro packs - but is 320v architecture; that's how it makes (and takes) power.
The minimum sentence had been recently enforced at that time because things were getting really out of hand with MDMA flooding the markets. Probably tons of deaths, adulterated compounds, and ruining people's brains.

I say ruining people's brains because, in the world of raves I was involved in, most customers were teens, and I knew quite a bit who kept taking it excessively for self-medication, eventually just to get through the day, and I would see the decline in their cognitive functions over time. It was really sad. I denied selling to those people because they scared me. But...I was selling nonetheless. So unaware of the consequences of my actions...
> ... but a lot of the "whales" are people like the ones in the article, middle class people who lose hundreds of thousands of dollars while desperately trying, and ultimately failing, to stop their addiction from ruining their lives.

$4.4 m of net worth puts you in the top 1% by US standards. In the rest of the world (short of Monaco, Luxembourg and Switzerland and the likes), it's much less. For example top 1% in France means a net worth of $2m.

I find it hilarious the notion that the "middle class" would have "hundreds of thousands of dollars" of disposable income to splurge on gambling.

I'd go as far as saying that being in the top 1% in, say, France, puts you in the "rich" class, not the "middle class" and that with a net worth of $2m you do not have line of credits allowing you to bet hundreds of thousands of EUR/USD.

P.S: I was invited at some dude's place where he had this 3 meters high Jeff Koens sculpture (Ballerinas, kinda Jeff Koens' trademark), probably worth millions. He had four house employees serving coffee, cooking, etc. Reading HN I'd be tempted to believe he was actually a poor middle class chap and that only the Zuck and Gates are "rich".

In RNN, hidden states are to be sequential; in transformers with attention mechanism, we break free of the sequential requirement. Transformers are more amenable to parallelism, and make use of GPUs the most (within the context axis, and outside).
They bought mine about 18 months ago. It's been a shitshow since the beginning. The last time I spoke to a customer service rep I told her "I pray every day that someone else buys my mortgage."

I can't wait for this meme to die, or for act (or gitea's fork thereof) to catch up to the hype train. Then again, I guess this fantasy is being promoted by folks who are all "just use run: and that's it" because any moderately complex one <https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/1.84.2.23314/.gith...> for sure fails with spectacularly illegible error messages under both act and gitea's fork
I'm surprise when places will even accept them. Was at harbor freight a day ago and the total for my two items came to $98 and I mentioned to the clerk "Wish I could just give you a Benjamin right now", he said, "You can we accept them", "Would if I had one!"

Then paid with card. That was the first time for me a dollar total made sense to pay with a $100

There’s always a chance, although the annual eruptions over the past three years had a negligible impact on air travel.

The eruption site is only around 20 km (12 mi) from Iceland's main international airport, Keflavik International Airport. Due to the eruption's effusive nature with little to no ash production, it is not considered a risk to air traffic. [1]

Lol, I like it. I kinda wish we'd do that in software status pages too. "This is a test of our emergency status page. This is only a test. It's also the only time you'll actually see red on this page."
Due to a mistaken belief that they might be valuable as collector's items which results in them being hoarded and so not widely circulated.

Sure—I'm not saying that metaphysical idealism was never a dominant or influential idea, especially in premodern philosophy. But Rand lived in 20th century, when contemporary philosophy was overwhelmingly materialist. I'm genuinely unsure who the "everyone else" is that the original commenter was trying to contrast her with. Presumably not Augustine of Hippo.
The reality is that the exact same hardware uses less RAM on a base install of Windows than it does on a base install of macOS. Having used both hackintosh and real Mac booted on Windows (without bootcamp, as a "real" PC) I am certain of that fact.

And in usage I also find macOS and its Apps to more often than not actually take more RAM. It isn't a bad thing pe se, it often means more speed because more things are cached, available fast and the like.

However, it is quite annoying when Apple simultaneously pretend the contrary and at the same time upcharge for their soldered RAM in a greedy way. If anything, a "Pro" PC laptop in this price range will have not only at least 16GB as default but is highly likely to have 4-8GB for its dedicated GPU when with Apple Silicon, the RAM advertised has to be shared and any GPU activity lower even more what can comfortably be used as system memory.

The more time passes, the more Apple Silicon feels like the ultimate scam. At this you better have a very real need for battery life because it really does not make a lot of sense otherwise. In fact, if it is only autonomy that you need and not true mobility, it would be better to buy cheaper performance equivalent PC and buy one of those large carriable battery.

Re: Saving to Web Archive: just a minute ago I found out that one of my old projects isn't loading on Wayback Machine because they forgot to crawl the JS file. (Odd, not sure how they decide which dependencies to crawl...)

I was just beaming about the virtues of shipping web apps as a single self-contained HTML file (all CSS and JS in the file, rather than linked as external dependencies) for unrelated reasons, when I found that my other web app on the Web Archive works fine because I had followed this principle!

(So it also works in Wayback's *id_ mode, i.e. shipping the original HTML unaltered, because the functionality is independent from where the HTML is served.)

Certificate transparency has the same problem. It has the side effect of sending every domain you visit to the certificate log server. An advertisers wet dream. If you are using chrome this is google. Now if you are using chrome I always assumed it was sending everything you viewed to google anyway. So I guess this is... OK, or at least, not worse than the status quo.

I've been exploring the intersection of AI and drone, and ended up with the DJI Android SDK writer. Some of you might be venturing into the same airspace too.

Quick Context:

You can actually control DJI drones. Their SDK offers features to control over DJI's drones like flight control and live streaming. It's an awesome toolkit for creating powerful drone-based apps.

What I've Achieved:

- Scanned the entire official DJI Android SDK documentation. 221 pages.

- Search through multiple documents generate accurate, up-to-date code snippets.

- Display GPT answer with URL references to the documentations used for the context.

Why This Might Interest You:

- Intro to Drone: If you're new to their SDK, you can have an overview of their documentations.

- Time-Saving: The AI tool assists in generating code, increasing the accuracy and efficiency of your development process.

- Current and Comprehensive: Gain insights into the latest SDK without having to sift through pages of documentation.

Great Sunday hack,

When Ruthless Cultural Elitism Is the Job
The analogy isn't that one out of a hundred locks don't work, but the none of the locks work in the face of a skilled attacker that may comprise 1% of the attackers.

This isn't saying that locks are worthless, but it is saying that thinking of them as secure is a false confidence. This sort of truth is why there's a saying in the security field that you're at the greatest risk the moment that you think you're secure.

In terms of data security, the only way to be actually secure from data leakage is to not be in possession of the data.
Follow the behaviour you're talking about through to the logical conclusion.

If your employer is legally liable for things you do on your own time with your own equipment, and required to prove that they weren't involved and that their equipment wasn't involved, the only option that will be open to them is to monitor you every single moment of every single day.

Anyone that refuses to agree to those terms doesn't get a job. You won't be able to say "Well, that's okay, I'll take a job with another company" because it'll be true for employers all the way from your mom and pop corner shops up to large multinational corporations.
Without getting into the nitty gritty of it, it seems pretty obvious that there is a lack of clarity given that the European Commission came to one conclusion, the General Court concluded that the European Commission was incorrect and now an advocate general for the European Court of Justice has concluded that the General Court was incorrect. These are all smart people who have spent a lot of time and effort studying the law in this area. There are a lot of extremely reductionist takes on the case in the media but the actual legal principles in dispute, and their application to the facts, are quite complex.

All the things React does is doable with plain javascript. There aren't any extra features added.

I'll put it a little differently. It is of immense help if you really know what you're doing but want to do it faster.

I know where you're going. I've had folks say to me: "I really like co-pilot because it enables a beginner like me to write code". This sentiment often comes from folks having non-technical roles who want to create their own software solutions and not have to deal with engineers. I roll my eyes at that one.

You need to be able to spot specific areas of acceleration. Not just tackle it as a hammer for every problem.
Not for mixed CPU/GPU, but there is the concept of a superoptimizer, that basically brute forces for the most optimal correct code. But it is not practical, besides using for very very short program snippets (and they are usually CPU-only, though there is nothing fundamental why it couldn’t utilize the GPU as well).

There is also https://futhark-lang.org/ , though I haven’t tried it, just heard about it.
Every modern slot machine I’ve used will show you exactly that information. It’s somewhere in a help menu.

It’s not at all comprehensible, imagine boilerplate TOS from a big company, with a third year statistics course mixed in. But it’s there.
Putting too much emphasis on the colonization of Mars and the very distant future could be symptoms of avoiding problems closer in space and time :)
Even if Mars were colonized by humans, the demise of our race would be maybe pushed out further but not avoided. For that I think much larger scientific breakthroughs are needed than hopping to the next planet and hoping that it will be ok there while the Earth is gobbled up by the Sun :)
