> Yeah, the 3090 is a meme in local AI communities.

Calling the 3090 a "meme" makes it sound like the 3090 is a joke. Do you mean that the 3090 is "well-known" in local AI communities?
Why? Loans are not (only) given by the government. I should be free to loan money based on whatever collateral I want. If I want to loan money with my friend's prized guitar as collateral, how does that mean that the government should tax my friend's guitar?
People are driving spaceship-sized SUVs while using their phones, hitting pedestrians who are walking around looking at their phones, jumping out of the path of an oncoming 12yo doing 40kmh on a battery powered scooter while looking at porn on their phones and using Whatsapp to schedule a meet up with their Fastgas supplier. Their parents think that a scooter is a toy, the phone is so that they can call home, and the money was for lunch.

Yeah, kinda half joking, in the sense that these 3 hypothetical people don't actually crash into each other every day, but they all exist. I see them every day.

I've also seen a huge rise in cyclists on the footpath (sidewalk), and it's so normalized that I had a guy in his 50s zoom up behind me and the wife and actually tell us to get out of the way. To say that he got called all the things I could possibly call him is an understatement.
There was a gothic grandeur of bombsites in a city, of burnt out ruins in the suburb.

> Flipped classrooms are popular these days, so I might try that, but I also feel that pre-recorded lectures are a little soulless. I might try a hybrid approach, integrating lectures with assignments.

My Physics I class in college was a bit of both. First part of class was lecture, then we did practice assignments in class as groups, then there was out-of-class lecture videos and assignments. The out of class lectures weren't very long, I'd say under 20 minutes per lecture day if memory serves. Just long enough to cover a small topic in enough detail.

Panasonic canned battery production is highly efficient and semi flow based, long lengths of materials can be assembled like lasagne and then rolled up into cigars and well.. canned. It's a centuries old model since leclanche cells.

I have taught such interactive classes/labs by myself. If you have prepared enough, i.e. have a very solidly laid out worksheet of appropriate difficulty, then a single person can handle about 20 people. About 5 students will have no problem and you just need to quickly check on them once or twice. 10 will need quick interventions. 5 will need more support. You can probably do three rounds in that one hour.
i concur but don't think that's what the previous comment was going for.
I was just about to mention Nier Automata too. The dynamically changing music was a huge wow moment to me when I played it.

Actually this game is such an art. Its story is touching, full of unexpected plot twist, and inspiring deep thinking afterwards; its graphics is cozy and unsettling, heart warming and hear breaking at the same time - yet the game is not really gpu demanding; its combat is slick, snap, and satisfying; its music literally echo with your emotional roller coaster along your gameplay. And what's crazy is that, all of these nice things about this game actually blend with each other really perfect, so you don't think about any single aspect of this game, you feel the whole game as a package delivers you one of, if not THE, finest japanese anime/game experience in so many levels. I was really depressed for like 6 months after finishing this game because I left wanting more of Nier Automata games. It will literally make you become a huuuuge weeb.
Maybe this will fit the bill?

Hey HN!

I've been working on Skytable since 2020 and after several iterations from a simple K/V store, we've walked the path to this release. The goal of Skytable is to deliver a solid foundation for building apps; several implementations in Skytable (especially around query evaluation and execution) are fundamentally different from SQL and even NoSQL counterparts and there are some entirely new concepts which might make it a little hard to grasp.

Skytable's primary goal is performance and scale, and even with a query language it can outperform K/V stores which use simple commands (benchmarks will be posted soon).

BlueQL is a very important part of Skytable and it employs some interesting concepts to try and reduce the surface for injection attacks and tries to be a modern and secure alternative to SQL.

I'm here for any questions!

I’m a Canadian currently living in Portugal. Canadians have been lied to regarding healthcare and it’s quality for way too long.

In Portugal I can schedule any specialist doctor visit in a matter of days in advance all online via Calendly like interface.

I don’t need to wait for family doctor approval.

I can also go and run a lab panel at will, at many locations throughout the city. No dr referenced needed. Costs like 5-10 euros per lab without insurance.

When I went to see a dr, he actually spent time talking to me one on one for the full half hour allotted. No rushing. In Canada doctor would run in and out in minutes quickly just dishing out some prescription or a lab. I felt like I was just an item on a conveyor belt.

It is very naive to believe that professional equipment do not benefit from well-thought design and UX.

Part of that is because profit should not take precedence when making a technical decision unless you are a business.

The other part is that if we accept only things that lead to easy profit, we'll avoid all sorts of things that take more initiative but become better products. Short-term stock price chasing is not a way to make tech decisions. It's a way to make profit decisions.

I seem to be on a website where nobody can picture doing anything without taking money from someone else.
I don't understand, why is it not enough to just... use free software? Why must the government be involved at all?
This does ignore the fact that there's not one UI toolkit that you can target and that will work on all distros, and you certainly can't target Qt, GTK, ETK, etc. all at the same time. I've been making a cross platform GUI library and it's been a pain point on Linux (even though I use Linux!)
> It's strange Apple doesn't sell an iMessage Android app

Apple doesn’t sell apps they sell hardware and services. There’s no incentive for them to provide a free iMessage app for android, and I doubt many people would pay for one.
I don't think VB6 (or really any prior VB) had a real spec, the language was basically QBASIC stitched on a form editor for VB1 and extended over time to add more stuff and after some point could also be embedded in other programs (hence "Visual Basic for Applications").

AFAIK this spec isn't even for VB6, but for a "VB7" (i.e. VB6 with a bunch of changes) that never really got a standalone version and Microsoft made a spec for after the fact once they decided to attempt to make the file formats used in Office an open standard.

It is useful if you want to make a VB6 compatible parser but AFAIK those who attempted that had to "peek and poke" the real VB6 for various edge corners anyway.
I'm sure we can, the question is, can we make an alternative to GitHub? I wouldn't be surprised if there are already several better ones, but I've never looked, because I already know Git, and my chances of convincing anyone to use a better one seem low, and they rarely seem to have as big of an ecosystem.

If it doesn't have multiple clouds providers with pull requests, and at least one of those clouds providers isn't a megacorp, it probably won't be the safe boring choice, unless it's fully P2P.

It needs to be packaged in distros, have GUI integrations, etc.

Fossil looks really cool, I really like how they integrate the wikis and issues. But I don't know anyone who uses it, and the cloud providers seem to be smaller "Could go away any time" companies.

I've never really explored any other VCSes, because none ever seem like they're going to be serious competitors.

I'd be more interested in enhancing Git, but it seems a lot of the most interesting git plugins and extensions aren't updated, like GitTorrent.
> People don't adopt software only because it is open source. It also has to be useful high-quality software.

These things are symbiotic. It's a virtue circle. People find it useful, they contribute, other people then find it useful, it grows in popularity, people contribute etc. It's pretty clear that Hashicorp hoped to take advantage of this to build popularity when they open sourced their product code.

If you don't think this is true, why do you think they released it under an OSS license?

> In what way are they not reciprocating?

Reciprocating would mean allowing others to build businesses on software they have also contributed to.

> And considering this is a publicly-traded for-profit enterprise, why shouldn't they be able to profit off their work?

It's not all their own work.

No-one's saying it's not ok to profit from it, it's about screwing over and denying that right to others who built the product to what it is today.

> Unless your business is directly competing with them, how does the license change directly affect you?

The license is badly written, andtherefore risky for any business to use. For example, the word "competing" is not defined. If I build a system to store secrets in MySQL and put an API in front of it, am I competing with vault? What if I sell a managed database service and Oracle buys Hashicorp, am I now competing?

It's badly written on purpose, because Hashicorp don't want anyone (with $$ and a competent legal department) to take their silly license, they want to sell them a contract.

> At the cost of losing the creator and primary contributor of these projects, which tends to be a death blow to the software's long-term viability!

If it's useful high-quality software, history shows us that such projects continue to thrive regardless of the status of the 'creator' (e.g. Jenkins).
Interesting, my kids all have 20+ large iMessage groups for their friends at school. They play Minecraft and Among Us while on FaceTime calls. They are in the 8 - 11 year range. So it is certainly down to demographics, but perhaps not age
It's buried in the FAQ:

> In the future we may launch cloud features to support terminal sharing, shared workspaces, shared playbooks, and terminal backup/sync.

Presumably these cloud features will come with a subscription.

But yeah, the VC backing combined with no solid business model makes me wary. It seems unlikely that the community will be super excited to start building integrations and extensions here to benefit some SV bros.
Would you mind listing those youtubers which cover China? Sounds interesting.

Plus the off-duty one upstairs watching the tail camera on the entertainment console. Article says 140 years of combined experience between them which is more than impressive. Airbus really couldn't have hoped for a better crew for this to eventually happen to.

One of my favourite things about the A380 is that in-flight live feed from the tail, surprised more planes don't do it. Offers visual detail of the entire topside and a lot of information that might not otherwise be available.

Cutting costs by adopting a better architecture was a big thing at one of my previous jobs. People were praised and promoted for cutting thousands of dollars off monthly AWS bills.

IIRC the B777 engine controllers are still m68k. Discontinued in 1995.
So you’d rather be more poor and less productive (but still exploited) just so that corporations would have lower profits?
What do you mean by GNU here? The bug is in the Linux kernel, specifically in the code for the ext4 filesystem. There are not many systems out there who runs a GNU kernel.
Most European countries have let defense production pretty much idle or stagnate for the past couple of decades under the blind assumption that things would remain stable, and if things went tits up, being allied with the US would fix everything.

During the GFC defense spending was pretty much the first thing to get axed - and it never recovered IMO in most places.

The leadership in some countries also has been frankly fucking delusional about the threat posed by Russia.

Now everyone’s getting that kick in the arse, a wake up call, and learning that expanding production is extremely difficult when you no longer have the factories or workforce capable of producing stuff like 155mm shells.
Oh really? Who, and when - and with what proof?
When you collateralize an asset at an appreciated valuation, we're not even talking about about unrealized gains. The gains are literally realized through the collateralization process. The only reason it's not treated as a taxable event is because (arguably) ownership is not transferred, and the folks in power like the loophole.

I say "arguably" because the process gives another party a claim against the asset, which means you no longer own it in the same way. You're no longer free to use or dispose of it as you wish.
The Checklist Manifesto (2009) is a great short book that shows how using simple checklists would help immensely in many different industries, esp. in medical (the author is a surgeon).

Checklists of course are not the same as detailed post-mortems but they belong to the same way of thinking. And they would cost pretty much nothing to implement.

Also CRM: it's very important to have a culture where underlings feel they can speak up when something doesn't look right -- or when a checklist item is overlooked, for that matter.
The scope is clearly defined by the parentheses, though if you're not used to Lisp syntax that can be confusing at first.

(let n 12) => let n = 12;

CUDA works great on Linux. Full stop. If you’re having issues it’s because you’ve done something bizarre, like installing multiple versions of the driver. I promise you. I’ve been there and it was wholly my fault. Is it obvious or necessarily easy to fix? Nope. But that is problem with Linux and not the driver or CUDA.
I'm a reductionist. When the LOC I need to write to accomplish my goals go down, I consider that progress.

Zero LOC? Ideal, but frequently I later find my goals fall out of alignment with what I can do there. 1 LOC, like a shell invocation? Fantastic. 100-1_000 LOC? Pretty good, especially because at that scale I can usually still effectively wrap all the functionality into some CLI arguments and turn future invocations into 1 LOC.

The billions and billions of LOC that underlie my operating system, my text editor, my compiler, etc.? There's still work to be done on that front. Perhaps some of those lines are inevitable. But we can keep pushing forward until the day where the computer reaches its ideal form: There is a single button, and when I press it, it does what I want.

s/LOC/keystrokes/g, or mouseclicks, or whatever else constitutes the smallest atom of work you care to measure.
And with this, you can have your vim while still loading a gig and a half of your ram down with electron!
I was interested in Stable Diffusion / images, and also text generation.

I started playing with ComfyUI and Ollama.

An M1 studio ultra would generate a 'base' 512x512 image in around 6 seconds, and ollama responses seemed easily 'quick enough'. Faster than I could read.

On an I7-3930K, purely CPU only, a similar image would take around 2.5 minutes, and ollama was painful, as I would be waiting for the next word.

Then I switched to a 3080ti, which I hadn't been using for gaming as it got stupidly hot and I regretted having it. Suddenly it was redeemed.

On the 3080ti, the same images come out in less than a second, and ollama generation is even faster. Sure, I'm limited to 7B models for text (the mac could go much higher) and there will be limits with image size/complexity, but this thing is so much faster than I expected, and hardly generates any heat/noise at the same time - completely different to gaming. This is all a simple install under linux (pop os in this case).

tl;dr - A linux PC with a high-end GPU is the best value by far unless you really need big models, in my experience.
It's very good product like this exists from Sony themselves, but would it make it so much more expensive to add a second stick?

Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker

I was blown away by the sound quality produced by this relatively small speaker. It has very rich bass and other frequencies sound very good too. I often carry it around my apartment and use for things like music, audiobooks, calls (unfortunately the built-in mic isn't that good), etc.
I’ve always wondered what happens after an emergency landing. Do you just kinda sit there and wait for bags and personal belongings to be offloaded? And then wait for another flight out?
If the US wants to end Pax Americana, a strategy that has served the US extremely well, that’s on them in the end - it’s their choice. They shouldn’t be surprised though when it leads to losing out on a lot of trade, loss of influence, etc.

If anything - from a military perspective it is impressive if they have managed to drop twice as much explosives on as we did on Hiroshima on such a small piece of land and only a few thousand civilians got killed.

I won't engage much with your other points but I think they are a combination of leaving out critical facts (hospitals and ambulances were used by militants), misrepresentation ("Stripped civilians and paraded them through the streets" - they weren't paraded, quite on the contrary it was the people on Gaza who did this) and lies (at least last time sometime argued "Tortured Palestinian abductees" the only thing they showed for it was images of POWs with minor battle scars).
Maybe not everything is written with a target audience of Dalewyn? Maybe not everyone reading this article would know what a “packet” is?

I remember there was this video of a plane in Russia that was on fire, multiple people died. And you see people walking away with their luggage, can’t help it think people would still be alive if it wasn’t for those who so urgently needed their suitcases.

This comment was written with screen dictation so apologies if it reads like someone has said it out loud.

This is fantastic news. I'm making assumption about the design here, because it only has one control stick. You need two of these, one for them left joystick and one for the right joystick. That's actually even better, if that is the case, because it means you can put the two control stick as far away from each other as possible if you want that set up. You could even buy a third of controller button with your foot. I hope that is the case.

I just like to call out Nintendo here for complete lack of disability access. There is no support for disabled controllers whatsoever for a Nintendo switch and it's shocking from Nintendo. You have to buy some very expensive third-party gear if you want to have any sort of disabled access for the Nintendo switch.
