This is a really interesting exploration. The M3 Pro was a little confusing at first, having fewer performance cores than its predecessors, and more, but even slower clocked efficiency cores. But the power consumption graph clearly shows the benefits of this design decision, very cool chip

Yes, it is. I wonder why. There is nothing factually inaccurate or anything here.

I know of ThreadX and its use in the Pi was why. I noted that most of the existing coverage of the move to FOSS didn't mention it, and realised that the writers didn't know. That's why I wrote the article.

I've found this too.

I often use ChatGPT to explore unfamiliar topics, and I think the custom instructions help a bit.

Something like : "I try not to bias your responses by loading my questions or putting strong opinions in them, but please do contradict or correct me if I'm on the wrong tracks, following bad practice, or making faulty assumptions. Please do have your own opinions."

I wouldn't.

But I left Google early this year to work at a startup. I can tell you that the confidence I have with Google's tooling, testing infra, presubmits etc. are miles ahead of the confidence I have with our current pre-commits. But at Google we had millions of daily-actives and at the startup we have dozens, so if something breaks it's not too bad.
RTS games like Starcraft or Age of Empires. Infinite replayability.
I think there’s a common misunderstanding among programmers about what game dev is like and who is involved. It’s mostly not about programming. Which is why the engines all have rich UIs first, text editors second.
By "negative" idioms I'm mostly referring to stdio, string.h (except for memcpy/memmove of course), goto-based cleanup, void* based generics, overuse of macros and a certain fondness for global mutable state in a lot of classic C codebases.

Was running a rails monolith with up to 300 concurrent users and a huge growing database on a $20 VPS and free cloudflare.

Sure it only had highly optimized queries (something rails makes kinda easy too), but that's what you are supposed to do anyway.

There wasn't ever a need to recode to run it on a $10 instance. Nether do I think 99% of all database driven projects, including mine, are ever going to reach as many concurrent users.

IMO: talking about performance for ANY major coding stack is just premature optimization

> On the other hand, this was a very peculiar set of circumstances, very much an edge case. Is it reasonable to expect designers of combat systems to triple check their choices and run more test scenarios to identify and address such edge cases? I'd say yes. However, I think it's unreasonable to expect them to design a perfect system for a highly volatile and chaotic use case such as war.

Even if this is your position, it doesn't excuse the Navy's blaming of the crew after it happens. Even if the design issues could be written off as a reasonable mistake, the mistake still lies with the design and not with the crew.
I take that has having done nothing then. Its ok, surprising though because of how low class your comment was.
> Still not impressed? Recently, in the US alone, effective altruists have:

> ended all gun violence, including mass shootings and police shootings

Okay. Fine. EA hasn’t, technically, done any of these things.

> But it has saved the same number of lives that doing all those things would have.

> About 20,000 Americans die yearly of gun violence, 8,000 of melanoma, 13,000 from AIDS, and 3,000 people in 9/11. So doing all of these things would save 44,000 lives per year. That matches the ~50,000 lives that effective altruist charities save yearly18.

> People aren’t acting like EA has ended gun violence and cured AIDS and so on. all those things. Probably this is because those are exciting popular causes in the news, and saving people in developing countries isn’t. Most people care so little about saving lives in developing countries that effective altruists can save 200,000 of them and people will just not notice. “Oh, all your movement ever does is cause corporate boardroom drama, and maybe other things I’m forgetting right now.”
But that's the problem. What will?

It feels like everyone in the world is criticizing what the IDF does. Nobody seems to have an alternative. Hamas keeps repeating that they want no Jews between the river and the sea and they plan to commit October 7th-like atrocities again and again.

But it does not allow the reader to quickly skim the article. It requires the user to interact with each paragraph in order to enable the user to skim it for interesting words.

Old fashioned non-interactive subheadings would allow the user to "disengage at well defined steps" and also to quickly scan ahead.

I see no benefit to the added interactivity.
Clickbait headline, but the article is great!
If you didn't involve the authorities to exercise your rights, it sounds more like anecdotal experiences with those particular stores than the entire EU "sucking ass".
It is extremely difficult to lose appreciable amounts of weight from exercise — our bodies are very efficient with calories.

Exercise can also make you feel hungry, which defeats weight loss goals.

Calorie restriction is the easiest route to go. Learning to live with smaller portions is the most difficult part of such a diet.

I learned about Cognitive Distortions: the $400 word phrase for "playing yourself", also called "lying to yourself in your self conversation."

There is this list of questions, 10-20 questions depending upon where you get them, the Cognitive Distortion Checklist. These simple questions you ask yourself, and if you answer 'yes' to any of them then you are lying to yourself in your self conversation. And the amazing part about deception, once aware of it that method of deception no longer deceives!

Now, social anxiety is a form of self deception. Your self conversation is exaggerating negative potential outcomes of a social situation while simultaneously minimizing potential positive outcomes of that same social situation. While in truth the negatives are nowhere as strong as your self conversation indicates and the positives are significantly higher.

And this does not just work for social anxiety. This idea, this concept of self auditing one's self conversation is extremely powerful and is how one prepares and manages stressful and critically important activities and decisions. It's a personal revolution everyone needs to have.
That's a relief.

We just swapped out our old webmail system (made from twigs, mud and spit) for a nice and elegant Roundcube install with custom plugins and I was already dreading having to change it.
Depends. Hardware-based ray tracing is pretty attractive. As soon as renderers start making use of it, you'll see render speeds practically double over the previous equivalent M2 machines and considering low power consumption and other things, for some the M3 quickly becomes a pretty enticing offer.

HN might be missing this part, but I'm pretty happy that product people are still at the helm at Apple. We're talking about cores and this and that, but if you go to, for example, forums for Redshift renderer and hear what users of _tools_ who do things with these cores are saying, they are salivating over the M3.

One of the sneakily genius things Apple seems to be doing is, it goes to developers of some of the most "popular" apps and works with them to make their apps work well. Behind the scenes it's working with Maxon, Autodesk, Adobe etc to make things run well, and the information it gathers from working with them informs direction of further R&D. Which is how we came to have hardware-based ray tracing and other things that will actually play a pivotal part in improving end user experience for power users.
> * there would be no debate about UI mistakes if it was Iran shooting down a US plane*

If Iran shot down a US plane and then immediately admitted it was a mistake and helped investigate, I don’t think this is true. People would still be angry and a UI mistake doesn’t really exonerate you from that anger.

From a Western perspective, there's no denying at least some Christian influence. We inherit a morality and philosophical tradition and that was shaped by a Christian-dominated culture for a large chunk of its history.

Is there an extreme shortage? Or is there an extreme shortage of women who applies to speak because they're not used to seeing many women speak and assume they wouldn't get a slot? I genuinely don't know, but I have met enough women in tech with speaking experience as a total introvert that I do find it astounding that someone making a living of arranging events don't have a sufficient network to be able to line up some women as speakers. Makes it very hard to think this doesn't reflect their attitudes.

> It's got to the point from what I've noticed from conference organisers talking on Twitter/X in the past the only way they can get women speakers in a decent amount is for them to approach women who don't give talks and invite them to talk.

Then they should do that. As a man, of the times I've been speaking in public-ish contexts in my life, I've volunteered or applied less than half. I'm not at all surprised it takes work to line up speakers, and more work to line up speakers of any group that has a history of being underrepresented in this field.

If you expect every speaker you sign up to be drawn from applicants, it's also not just diversity you throw over-board, but you lose out on a whole lot of perspectives from people who for other reasons aren't really that interested in speaking, or are too busy with other things, but who might be willing to if asked.

> That is a bit worrying since anyone who has given a talk will know, your first time is completely terrible.

The way to fix that is to ensure more women get a first chance to hold a talk. If they don't want that to be at their conference, then try to work with user groups and the like to find women who have held talks there, or arrange events to provide a feed. Once is understandable - people may well not realize what is needed to fix the problem. But if they then don't act, or if they lie and deceive people about it, it's another matter.

This reminds me of when my ex worked for a major investment bank where she as a black woman was promptly put on a "diversity board" to figure out how they could fix their diversity without actually changing the one thing that made fixing their diversity impossible: They heavily weighed in their hiring candidates from certain schools which skewed significantly white and male, to the point that even if they hired every black person and every female from those schools entire graduating classes, they'd still have a diversity problem. They did not want to hear that. They wanted nice quotes for their website and some token photos (and eventually got a significant bill for settling employment law cases instead)

The point is that if you genuinely want to address diversity, and your applicant pool isn't diverse, then you need to look beyond your applicant pool. If you choose not to, then you don't really care about addressing diversity; in that case, you're just trying to do enough to be able to throw your hands up, and it's in that case entirely fair for people to judge the organizers accordingly.

> posits are superior(imo, granted, they're more or less similar) to BLC, depending on how they're implemented, of course

I'm very confused that you say posits are "more or less similar" to Binary Lambda Calculus. Posits are an inert data encoding: to interpret a posit as a number, we plug its parts (sign, regime, exponent and fraction) into a simple formula to get a numerical value. Those parts can have varying size (e.g. for soft posits), but the range of results is fundamentally limited by its use of exponentials.

In constrast, BLC is a Turing-complete, general-purpose programming language. To interpret a BLC value as a number, we:

- Parse its binary representation into lambda abstractions (00), function calls (01) and de-Bruijn-indexed variables (encoded in unary)

- Apply the resulting term to the symbol `one-more-than` and the symbol `zero`

- Beta-reduce that expression until it reaches a normal form. There is no way, in general, to figure out if this step will finish or get stuck forever: even if will eventually finish, that could take trillions of years or longer.

- Read the resulting symbols as a unary number, e.g. `one-more-than (one-more-than zero)` is the number two

Posit-style numbers can certainly be represented in BLC, by writing a lambda abstraction that implements the posit formula; but BLC can implement any other computable function, which includes many that grow much faster than the exponentials used in the posit formula (e.g. this has a nice explanation of many truly huge numbers https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/283298/how_to_compute... )

>That’s a stupid comparison because the USSR intentionally shot down a plane without trying to contact it and then didn’t cooperate at all on search efforts.

I don't know much about either incident, but your summary sounds exactly what the OP is saying: "Here are the reasons the Russians did it. It's different, because they're evil".

One side was lying about thinking it was a spy plane, but the other side legitimately thought the plane had missiles on it?

It's actually astonishing that anyone who's been on this planet for more than a couple decades can take any of these narratives seriously.
My worse living arrangements were before this happened. The severely bi-polar girlfriend who stopped taking her meds and the alcoholic roommate who would become violent come to mind.

I currently live in a refurbished and expanded 19th century farm house on a 209 acre property with a horse farm which my fiancee owns. I retired in August at 54. I spend my days taking care of the property, horses and our daughters while my fiancee is off to the city during the week for work.
This is very cool -- thank you for sharing, Nate
Do you believe they bombed the theater because they were actively trying to kill Ukrainian children?

You know , people tend to believe the "other side" is so evil that they probably actually believe shit like this. That's the kind of belief that makes people think that all means justify the end and why we have wars that kill hundreds of thousands in the first place... if you saw people from the other side as just normal people like you and me you would probably understand that there's a lot more about that story that you and I will not know in a long time, if ever.

Even for life sentences I believe it makes sense to have prisoners work and earn some small privileges inside.

For one its possible to encourage good behaviour by threatening to take it away but also because a sense of purpose and achievement is important for a healthy mental state. That's true for incarcerated people as well and a stable population reduces enforcement costs and churn among the guard personal.
You're focusing on retribution, but incapacitation is the primary purpose of prisons and is used even in whatever progressive European countries you think America should be emulating. Somebody like Brevik will never be released; he's being incapacitated not rehabilitated. Making sure criminals can't hurt the public again is the first priority, only then can rehabilitation even be considered.
There's quite a few hosted SDXL platforms (mage.space, leonardo.ai, novel.ai, tensor.art, invoke.ai to name a few) and most consumers do not have the GPUs needed to run those models, only enthusiasts do.

It's always baffled me that stability didn't offer a competitive UI platform to use their models with, clipdrop is just bad quality and very bare-bones, and dreamstudio is pricey and still lacks most features. So this move to a new licensing strategy doesn't surprise me, it actually is somewhat comforting, as i expecting them to just stop releasing further trained models (e.g sdxl1.1 and up), and only offer those on their services (of course, that can still happen) cause how else were they going to monetize the consumers (i know they (planned to) offer custom trained/finetuned models to big corps, but that doesn't monetize consumers).

However, as most releases by stability these days, it has this feeling of close-but-no-cigar, and the recent LCM lora's might be a little slower, but these actually offer 1024^2 resolution, work with any existing lora's and finetunes (so they are usable for iterative development, unlike this turbo model, cause well, it's a different model, can't iterate on it then expect sdxl (with lora's, to a lesser extend also without) to generate a similar image) and support cfg-scale (and therefor negative prompts / prompt weighting). I suppose there's some niche market where you need all the speed you can get, but unless there's a giant leap in (temporal) consistency, that will remain niche, i don't see the mentioned real-time 3d "skinning" neither the video img-to-img (frame-to-frame) gimmicks take off with current quality and lack of flexibility. It's good research, optimizations have lots of value, but it needs quality as well.

Their recent video model is quite bad as well, especially compared to pika and runway gen-2, but well, but as with the the dalle-3 comparison one can say those are closed source and stability's offering is open.

Then we have the 3d model, close sourced, worse than luma's genie unfortunately.

The music model is nothing like suno's chirp (which might be multiple models, bark and a music model) used together), and the less said about their llm offerings the better.

Bottom line, stability needs a killer model again, they started strong with stable diffusion 1.5, took a wrong turn with 2.0 (kind of recovered by 2.1, but the damage was done), and while SDXL is't bad in a vacuum, neither was it the leap ahead that put it in front of competition like midjourney at the time, and Dalle-3 a little later, and now even a relatively small model like pixart-alpha, also opensource, can offer similar quality to what sdxl offers (with a lot of caveats, as it has been trained on so few images it just doesn't have info on many concepts). And more worrying, there's no hint of something better in the stability's pipeline. But maybe image-gen is as best as stability can get it, and they think they can make an impact pivoting in another direction or multiple directiobs, but currently, it feels a master-of-none situation.
