Also around DC area, the leasing office folks told me that the price changed dynamically and could only be overruled by the HQ. They said that many companies use that software in order to obtain their "optimal" price for the area, which is of course observationally equivalent to colluding with extra steps.

BTW, more recently I saw the same thing with large contractor companies. One quoted me an insane price for something and I asked why, and they replied that it's the price that the software (ServiceTitan) tells them to charge, and even showed me their screen.

Again, they said ServiceTitan decides the price depending on "the average price of other companies in the area" which is code word for you-know-what.
Oh please, you're ignoring contrary evidence, like the fact that landlords were using the existence of new housing as a justification for raising their own prices in order to stay 'competitive' (in terms of profit, rather than in terms of price). There's a simple and easily understood argument about why the behavior is illegal and anticompetitive.

Coming in and harassing people for definitions and quoting economics 101 while ignoring the empirical evidence isn't a good way to discuss an issue.
Possibly not the buyers, but as someone who often gets stuck behind them struggling to overtake or accelerate on a hill, I wouldn’t mind.
I'll describe what we've got, but fair warning that I don't know how the write pixels to the screen stuff works on GPUs. There are some instructions with weird names that I assume make sense in that context. Presumably one allocates memory and writes to it in some fashion.

LLVM libc is picking up capability over time, implemented similarly to the non-gpu architectures. The same tests run on x64 or the GPU, printing to stdout as they go. Hopefully standing up libc++ on top will work smoothly. It's encouraging that I sometimes struggle to remember whether it's currently running on the host or the GPU.

The datastructure that libc uses to have x64 call a function on amdgpu, or to have amdgpu call a function on x64, is mostly a blob of shared memory and careful atomic operations. That was originally general purpose and lived on a prototypey GitHub. Its currently specialised to libc. It should end up in an under-debate llvm/offload project which will make it easily reusable again.

This isn't quite decoupled from vendor stuff. The GPU driver needs to be running in the kernel somewhere. On nvptx, we make a couple of calls into libcuda to launch main(). On amdgpu, it's a couple of calls into libhsa. I did have an opencl loader implementation as well but that has probably rotted, intel seems to be on that stack but isn't in llvm upstream.

A few GPU projects have noticed that implementing a cuda layer and a spirv layer and a hsa or hip layer and whatever others is quite annoying. Possibly all GPU projects have noticed that. We may get an llvm/offload library that successfully abstracts over those which would let people allocate memory, launch kernels, use arbitrary libc stuff and so forth running against that library.

That's all from the compute perspective. It's possible I should look up what sending numbers over HDMI actually is. I believe the GPU is happy interleaving compute and graphics kernels and suspect they're very similar things in the implementation.

Reminder that carriers have lawful intercept mandates through legal statutes: it may actually be illegal for them to implement E2EE.

Firefox gaining market share yet? It gained me; FF's hostile 2021 summer mobile release really burned me. But guess who is back?

Can't stand this garbage. Ads are a malicious code payload vector worth blocking.

We will be likely move our business off Google Suite too. Any suggestions on good replacements with trustworthy vendors?
I mean car companies have been releasing concept art of future vehicles since like forever so it’s pretty standard.
Thankfully we should all be able to sideload Firefox on IOs by then.
Not sure if the photoset is biased, or if drunk people really like pointing.
I assume this will not affect Edge? Or will this effect Chromium in general?
So at first glance this is based on an anonymous second-hand source, and written on the substack of a self-described Tesla short seller. How seriously should we take this?

I'll note that in another article[1], the author claimed that the delay in GigaMexico would push the next-gen model to 2027 and possibly bankrupt the company. According to Isaacson's Musk bio, Tesla moved initial production of the vehicle to Austin so their new production line and their engineers for the car would be in the same place.

I've been using Firefox exclusively for a few years on Desktop and mobile, and it has been great.

It's pretty rare that something doesn't support Firefox, and usually it's some weird web tech demo I found on here. Nothing that I'd miss.

Ublock Origin is no small part of why I use Firefox for Android, and a redirection plug-in for old reddit, nitter, etc make following links in forums sufferable.
that's asking for the US, specifically.

looks to me like they did this in Europe previously, and they are looking to do the same in the US now.
> of my other coworkers get put on projects with each other.

Not sure how applicable this is to your situation, but I'd just start reviewing their PR's. If it's all in the same language then it should be relatively easy to do some work to help them out. Scratch my back, I'll scratch yours situation.

> It feels like I'm being punished and have been put into solitary confinement.

I'm not in the punishment boat, but it does feel like solitary sometimes.
This will probably go away over time as everyone supports most the same features.
Exactly right. We should be cheering and champion on the success of these very early and primitive electric trucks. Also, notice how much energy it takes to move them. The author states that the power station for these few trucks could power 28,000 homes. This is the reality of industry, it uses a lot of power. We need to keep increasing the electric grid for nuclear and renewables.

I prefer an alternate approach: the enemy of my enemy (deceitful, violent Western culture) is my friend.

I believe it is more optimal for Western countries (and their citizens' lifestyles) to be taken down several pegs, and I do not mind so much if it is a net loss for everyone (as opposed to a rebalancing).
have you considered that perhaps that desire simply didn't fade for artists? it reminds me of an artistic piece i saw in Florence, Italy back in 2013 that was of a tree suspended by wires, roots hanging out and all, and while i can't remember the exact words on the artist's sign, it amounted to when we are young we are pliable, we can easily adapt to change, and as we age we grow increasingly firm in our beliefs and incapable of adaptaption. Though it was more poetically worded towards how an older tree is more susceptible to the forces of nature. It will break before it bends.
It explains it in the paper on pages 6-8.

It wouldn’t be. Using a tool as a collusive mechanism to set prices jointly or create a price floor would be though.
isn't the first problem of documentation is keeping it in sync with the source code? Time and time again people come up with "better ways of documentation" while neglecting this basic problem, what problem do they think they're solving?

> In response to increased verification traffic from apps like Signal, and decreased SMS revenue from their own customers, these service providers have significantly raised their SMS rates in many locations, assuming (correctly) that tech companies will have to pay anyway.

There's nothing that requires tech companies to use SMS for registration or for 2FA. The normal way to do it is by email, which continues to be free. For Signal, there is no need to do 2FA registration at all.

Signal is ideologically committed to publicizing your phone number, and apparently they'd rather pay $6 million to hold to their commitment than just... not do that.
The way it works is ugly for the privacy oriented folks. Turning it off and block by the firewall is a must. Just like "Private" DNS. Both are unfortunately forced.

Don’t worry, there will be a huge supply of like-new cars that have been titled in Nevada for 3 months and driven 10 miles.
Concept cars aren't driven, let alone sold/given to actual customers.
Title is very misleading. Not just uBlock but every other non-MV3 compliant extension will be dropped. If the Chrome team stick to their timeline.

Also, it would be prudent to note that an MV3 version of uBlock Origin has existed for quite some time now.
people are not stupid- they know a business needs to make money. middle managers who tries to hide this from their team, even with the best intention (ie, to "shield" them from the realities) are only fooling themselves and in the end will always look like hypocrites to their team, while also taking the blame from higher ups. there's no winning.

I definitely do when I can. Reciprocation is low
RIP Chrome users lol
Yeah. It is still useful for them to share these. My take away:

1. data is all you need to generate these amazing videos with the right gait (gait is something I focused on).

2. nobody doing new network structure, it is animatediff beefed up a little bit with temporal masking applied (neat trick, not a big leap from inpainting task we already see).

3. additional conditioning vector helps, and can be trained, look at these editing tasks!

These are pretty valuable for a looker like me to decipher what they did for Gen-2 or Pika Labs etc.
This. The genius of the prius is that it manages to iron out the fundamental problem of energy conversion in transportation - no constant cruise speed
> The US constantly struggles against the chains the Constitution puts on it because it wants nothing more than to be a Christian theocracy, and for every step forward it takes, it seems to stumble back two.

If we are to be consistent, and we say that there is nothing wrong with Sharia law, then there is nothing wrong with a Christian theocracy, which we are FAR from. So which one is it? Do we condemn both, or allow both? I'm perfectly fine condemning any kind of religion at the government level, we are supposed to have separation of church and state (not the case with Islam).

> Maybe the CIA should stop interfering with secular Muslim societies and installing radical dictators, or letting the Saudis get away with anything they want. Remember, the only reason the West was able to stumble out of the dark ages and into the Enlightenment was Islamic scholarship.

This is hard to expand here, but of course the U.S. has done a lot of harm, however anyone who claims they are free from any wrongdoing is lying. No one is an absolute victim at this level of analysis.

> We already are. George Bush literally declared that after 9/11. American politicians have already framed Israel's actions as a "religious war."

We were not spreading the word of Jesus in the Middle East, and to the extent we're spreading democracy and capitalism, it is at least in part because Islamist dictators keep wanting to spread their revolution, control more land, spread their religion, and fight against anyone who gets in the way. As you correctly point out the Saudis are allies and get a different treatment for a reason, which has to do with how they are integrating into the modern world, unlike Iran which clearly shows the same underlying religious motivations.

> What I suggest is America get off its high horse, stop supporting evil in the name of its deranged apocalyptic view of Christianity and leave the world alone.

I largely agree with this, but we also have to take into consideration that preventing a WW3 might actually be about toppling brutal dictators that otherwise would start conquering half of the world and killing innocent people in the process. Think about what Putin would do without the U.S. getting in the way.
I remain baffled that people are still using chrome. Each to their own.
Tilers (mostly mobile and Apple) generally expose the ability to read & write the framebuffer value pretty easily - see things like GL_EXT_shader_framebuffer_fetch or vulkan's subpasses.

For immediate mode renderers (IE desktop cards), VK_EXT_fragment_shader_interlock seems available to correct those "concurrency" issues. DX12 ROVs seem to expose similar abilities. Though performance may be hit more than tiling architectures.

So you can certainly read-modify-write framebuffer values in pixel shaders using current hardware, which is what is needed for a fully shader-driven blending step.
I've tried a few times. It always felt... clunky?

I tried Element. UI felt slow, I was unable to find notifications in scrollback. Clicking the notification button would take me to random messages.
Nobody is locked into Signal. It's free to use, and free to leave.
None of the people I've described have been forced to learn these skills. Well, not in the practical sense. Here is an example. You an born in a Tibetan Monastery in front of you is a set of items, the items that you pick are the ones that you will follow for the rest of your life. A child in this scenario is never forced into an option. Instead, the option just does not exist. From birth you are encourages and taught about the wonders of a skill that you will learn for the rest of you life. Of course you aren't being forced. But wouldn't it be fun if you could learn just a bit more? Oh friends? What friends? The people that the departments I've had the opportunity to interact with deal with these kinds of people. These children are never forced explicitly. It can have later in life too. 12 or 13 this is around the age for many sports and athletes. It's not a talent or passion, what you think exists doesn't.
Tor is distributed, not federated. And it has drawbacks, like high latency and a lack of a centralized system for human-friendly names (because that would mean a system like DNS, which is centralized). As far as security goes, there's probably little benefit. E2EE doesn't get more secure because there's more encryption.

The most comparable system to Tor that has practical properties I can think of is maybe ipfs, but nobody will store your encrypted chat blobs for you out of the goodness of their hearts. Ipfs also tends to have high latency. A slow system of uncooperative nodes isn't what you want your messaging app built on.

A federated messaging system looks a lot more like Matrix. The obvious problems are that splitting users up over multiple nodes mean encrypted data doesn't live on your instance, it lives everywhere the people are you chat with. Another problem is what you see with bsky, where identifiers come with a domain name (like an email).

IRC is also federated (sort of), and there's a long list of tired, age-old problems. The most common one is simple: different servers have different features, so you can't reliably "just use it" like you can with Signal.
Also, the learning curve on wind and solar is so much faster than nuclear.
That can be true, and we can still be lacking. Passenger rail usage rates are abysmal.
Can someone explain to me why netplan even exists? I don't see any utility in it, I don't change out my network connection manager on a daily basis so what use is a sub par abstraction when I can configure my manager of choice directly? For me it's just one of the many many reasons I don't touch Ubuntu, but sometimes I have to deal with it and I always end up shaking my head at the half baked crap they keep adding.
You should probably read the article. Dealers are still 100% in the loop and you’re not really buying from Amazon.

What does landlord collusion have to do with reparations?
Then everyone just happens to use my software

knowing what it does, yes that is collusion. Look at the etymology of the word: it literally means 'playing together'. It doesn't require people to meet up in a smoke filled room in supervillain outfits and say 'let's collude, heh heh heh'. Everyone is sharing their rental data to help the software calculate the optimal price, and everyone wants to get extra rental income, per your scenario. The diffrence from the commodity exchange is that exchange operators are not promising specific price outcomes for commodities.
Yeah how can I trust the security of an app which is engaging in potential financial fraud. Like ffs, if your whole thing is trust and principles, don't start fucking around with things for personal financial gain.
Wow! How did I never hear about this!

Yeah, between flathub (+ appimage) and linuxbrew, distros mean very little to me anymore. I can finally just work instead of worrying about of the program I'm trying to run has been blessed.

I'd also recommend flatseal or flatpak-kcm.
>That's particularly interesting because at one time years ago, I saw suggestions that Linux could run as a task on an RTOS.

I've worked with systems that ran Linux as a task of uITRON as well as threadX, both on somewhat obscure ARM hardware. Linux managed the MMU but had a large carveout for the RTOS code. They had some strange interrupt management so that Linux could 'disable interrupts' but while Linux IRQs were disabled, an RTOS IRQ could still fire and context switch back to an RTOS task. I haven't seen anything like this on RPi though, but it's totally doable.
Because it is only for certain European countries which leaves out US + UK.

If MS actually wanted to do the right thing, this would be global, not region locked.
I believe Chromium-based browsers can choose to ignore this. IIRC, Vivaldi already said they would?
> Nuclear can’t do that

You are repeating a myth.

Load following is used in France: https://www.oecd-nea.org/nea-news/2011/29-2/nea-news-29-2-lo...

It mostly isn't used in the US due to regulations. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36254716

The reason load following is not generally used is because because the economics of nuclear (large fixed costs) favour base load.
Uh, I don't think so. We don't live together and we don't share computers.

Its strange that Paypal would even consider our accounts associated in any way. I wonder if she put a support ticket in to change her name and they changed mine too because we shared the same surname? Does paypal know we're related somehow, or did they just change another random account with our surname when they changed her name, and happened to get her brother? The more I think about it the more questions I have.
My argument is that if harm can be proved, those harmed must be made whole. I don't understand how that is frivolous. I am not the one saying that a collusion suit should move forward here.
Hence the quotes.
They can afford to play the long game and roll it out over a decade or so if it means complete control of the web. By then old devices can be "reasonably" dropped from support for some BS Security excuse or another.

Edit: an example is Windows 11 requiring new enough processors for security reasons even though it would run on older PCs.
Sure, but surely you agree there's a difference in implication, right?

Like, if a headline says "McDonald's Announces It Will Stop Serving McNuggets to Donald Trump", and the story was actually that McDonald's was discontinuing McNuggets altogether (and therefore also to Trump), would you call that misleading or just an honest application of the transitive property?
It wasn't just the deadlines, he also declared many things as already achieved, including some patently impossible (such as 200kWh Roadster).

He doesn't actually do much with Space X. That's why it's successful.

Meanwhile, he's very micromanaging of Tesla and X... and it shows.
Not related to ML/AI or Stable Diffusion.

It's about generating 3D blue noise for rendering, it's very interesting on its own but the title is misleading.
I think both Vivaldi and brave have in the past claimed that they will keep manifest v2 going. And maybe others?
Sure, but in the context of a headline/submission title, "Google confirms they will disable uBlock Origin" strongly implies that Google mentioned uBO by name, which they did not. The news articles that the Reddit post links to have more general headlines for that reason.

Plus, for me at least, there are plenty of other extensions I'd like to continue using, not just uBO :(
I never would have guessed the artists would be who AI took out first.
There is always a five forces slide. Always.

Here is some other interesting and related duckdb SQL that you all might find helpful.

inspect the parquet metadata:

SELECT
*
FROM
parquet_metadata('https://huggingface.co/datasets/vivym/midjourney-messages/resolve/main/data/000000.parquet');

If the data was on blob storage you could use a glob instead of a generator:

SELECT
sum(*) AS TOTAL_SIZE
FROM
read_parquet('https://huggingface.co/datasets/vivym/midjourney-messages/resolve/main/data/*.parquet');

You can use the huggingface API to list and then read with duckdb:

SELECT
concat('https://huggingface.co/datasets/vivym/midjourney-messages/resolve/main/', path) as parquet_file
FROM
read_json_auto('https://huggingface.co/api/datasets/vivym/midjourney-messages/tree/main/data');

So this means we can combine the list files and read files SQL into a single statement!!!

Error: Binder Error: Table function cannot contain subqueries

:( No

Want the query in a more concise, reusable form?

CREATE MACRO GET_MJ_TOTAL_SIZE(num_of_files) AS TABLE (
SELECT
SUM(size) AS size
FROM read_parquet(
list_transform(
generate_series(0, num_of_files),
n -> 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/vivym/midjourney-messages/resolve/main/data/' ||
format('{:06d}', n) || '.parquet'
)
)
);

You can simply query table function:

SELECT * FROM GET_MJ_TOTAL_SIZE(55);

You don't need to run nettop:

EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM GET_MJ_TOTAL_SIZE(55);
