The OpenCL backend is not that great. Its kinda slow on GPUs, completely unusable on IGPs, and lags behind the CUDA, Metal and rOCM backends feature wise.

To be blunt, there isn't much interest in support outside of apple/nvidia. There is a WIP Vulkan backend, but (last I checked) progress is slow and its not optimzed for IGPs either.

MLC-LLM is much more promising once its features get fleshed out, as it "inherits" support for many devices from its Apache TVM backend.
A sort of Dang Acevedo? :)
Being SaaS seems to have already selected for the customers who are less price sensitive and/or willing to trade off price for convenience.
Huh, what a blast from the past. About 30 years ago, in Russia, I hacked up cyrillics keyboard support for Coherent by extending the line discipline layer in its kernel. It was probably still Coherent 3.0 though (which IIRC was based on Unix V6?), and the one on github seems to be 4.2.x.
> How do they control for…

They don’t. It’s an observational, self-reporting study, which can only establish correlation, and not causation.
Running Costs and Revenue Management is why:

1) SaaS has a running cost; servers, support, devops, and so on
You generally have a minimum cost to run a SaaS business. It's significantly less than it used to be, but it's still there. You have to run servers, unlike iPhone Apps that run on the consumers device.

2) The iPhone and Android App Stores were one of the purest environments for Revenue Management experiments we've ever witnessed.

By way of my background, I worked for a while in the transport industry a few years back, and was responsible for the platforms that sold over 4 million tickets online per year. I worked with revenue management teams, so have some experience in this area. And at the time we would discuss the App Store and pricing trends.

My experience does not grant me authority, these are just my observations and opinions :-)

So back to Revenue Management:
The market for smartphones and customers for the App Stores kept growing and the distribution model of the App Stores meant it was easy to run global experiments on pricing.

App Developers quickly realised that their Revenue Management graphs showed increased Revenue and Profit when they lowered the price due to the never-before-seen size of the smartphone market. Suddenly software developers had access to millions of customers around the world who would pay 0.99c for an App.

You could entice new customer with low prices, and at the time it seemed like there was a limitless supply of new customers who would pay 0.99c. So as a business you kept on generating more and more revenue.

You could scale out your business to millions of customers at almost zero additional cost.
As long as you didnt care about providing any support of course.

Later everyone realised that Advertisers would pay more, and we ended up with trash Adware Apps.
“Should be illegal” is not “it is illegal”. So no, Amazon can’t be legally responsible for selling this legal product more than it is for selling kitchen knives
Thank you for providing links instead of giving me a “just believe me, bro” type of response. I’m about to take a look at them.

As a side note, I’m actually amused that I got downvoted for simply asking for evidence. I think it’s a pretty reasonable to ask folks to substantiate serious allegations made against a company like Cloudflare (a company, I might add, I’m not even a fan of for my own personal/philosophical reasons). I find this behavior very cult-like, but anyway, I digress…
not really, the exe's are a.out so it's more like EMX. It's broken up like services more like HURD, and extended to 32bit on Win16.

It's far more cooler being able to run on Windows 3.1
It’s a race to the bottom until someone has a durable competitive advantage: it’s usually a market based advantage or a technical advantage. The best companies achieve and maintain both.
PowerShell is available on macOS and Linux as well (source on Github: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell). It may not be as well-integrated with things like system services management, but the language still works well. You can still use all the command line tools you're used to on Linux, of course.

nushell does look interesting, though the lack of a .deb repository does put it pretty low on my to-do list.

The censorship on HN is out of hand. Too many PR accounts?
Yes, dogs incapacitated prey with their mouths, and use their paws less.

That said, I think the bigger differences tho are momentum, distance, and turn radius. A tyranasaures head is something like 10ft off the ground. By the time it winds up and reaches the ground, the mouse would be long gone.

There are great documentary videos of large cats chasing desert rabbits that show this really well. The cats are bigger and faster and stronger, but the rabbits can turn faster.
Oh man great insight. Do wealth inequality next?
It's by no means foolproof, but containerizing your apps can reduce blast radius.

Ask HN: Best Software Engineering Course?
Hello HN,

What are some of the best software engineering courses that bring you from building MVPs to production-level applications?

As an AI graduate, I've spent much of my time doing academic assignments and side projects. However, I've come to realize that my experience in real-world software engineering is somewhat limited. I know it takes a different style of coding if you are building with a team and expect the project to live for more than a year.
What would be your recommendations for people that want to learn to develop quality software?
Sort of surprised at the negativity in the responses here. I think the idea of a meta programming prompt for chatgpt evaluated by GPT is pretty clever and useful, particularly if you’re working to iteratively refine some content in context. It’s not my natural mode of using chatgpt, but I can certainly see the use particularly for content creators.

I am curious from the author the specific motivation and the use case for the GPT that was in their mind - which in some ways is probably asking “ what do you typically use chatgpt for and what is your way of doing that.”

None the less, this is clever and and a novel way of manipulating instruction to surface a meta language within a LLM.
What’s wrong with her reporting on Kitchen Aid and what’s a better resource?
No, you don't. That'll add expensive memory reallocations; it may let you avoid the split operation but then that isn't worth it because you've added a nasty performance cliff to your insert case - you'll either be doing the memory allocation repeatedly, or you'll waste a ton of memory when your buffer is bigger than your on disk node size.
Because merging into main better exposes the proposal to a more diverse crowd and attracts needed feedback. Especially when you’re managing multiple proposed features, it’s not viable for a mass of users to check out and test those from their individual branches. Without merging fast, you can only gather opinions from people actively reviewing patches, which are a far more minority group and likely to be biased.
Best I can do is Flutter :/
The only difference between RV32E and RV32I is 16 registers vs 32. That saves a little silicon die space, or some TTL chips if you're building something like in the 1970s, but it doesn't remove any complexity.
Good, but that doesn't protect other files in your filesystem. Stealing ssh keys is the symptom; trusting someone else's code is the disease.
OP here, just wanted to say your tabletop links page is chef's kiss.
Meh I bought this 5 years ago because there was a sale on 10tb hard drives and I thought “Why shouldn’t I become a data hoarder?” And now it runs homeassistant and frigate and MeTube and jellyfin and if it doesn’t work for ollama then I’ll probably just deal with it, lol.
Dunning-Kruger in action: people with little knowledge of how much effort it is to run even a trivial business think they can do it in a weekend.

I've been working solo on a SaaS of my own and I've been 1 month away from launch since December 2022. It looked so trivial when I had the brilliant idea, now I'm so deep I might as well take it to completion. Hopefully next month.

Never again will I forget that ideas in a vacuum are worthless compared to the blood, sweat and tears of running a business.

How long before someone manages to clone him/herself online and apply for relatively simple gig work. And duplicates than 1000 times. Making millions with simple work. Its almost possible i think. Clone your voice with this, clone your looks by wiring comfyui like sd nodes to your webcam. Everything instructed/orchestrated by some AI agent controlled by chatgpt. Some wiring logic is what you need to make. The only thing you as the real person have to do is answering some critical decisions which are send by a push notification.
If you can live without video and images, you could comfortably host even a very large forum (on the order of the top 10% of subreddits by volume) with only a $5/month VPS, as long as you made it serve static pages and were judicious with your tech stack. The cost of hosting text alone wasn't prohibitive 20 years ago, and it's even less so today.
Everyone will become poorer. Not to mention after the severe "population shrink".

Of course, countries don't want to actually do away with fossil fuels. As leadership also depends on them. What they want to do is justify continued antidemocratic power in the name of nebulous concepts that, ideally, are articulated as problems that aren't actually solvable.
And now we have impressive examples of accomplishing so little despite extremely abundant resources :)
Copies of BSD have been traded at various prices since the 70s ranging from "free, but bring your own tapes" at user groups to a few hundred bucks (about a couple thousand dollars today) for a packaged distribution with documentation. However BSD was tangled up in a lawsuit from 1991-1994, right as Linux was launched online as a free download.

Site-specific keyboard shortcuts are a thing, they're important for accessibility. Unfortunately most sites either don't support them or do a poor job of documenting that support in a way that can be surfaced by users.
Collateral is explicitly not tangible and usable. The whole point of collateral is that the unrealized gains are held in a illiquid limbo
Does that figure include the cost of manufacturing and installing the photovoltaic cells? Plants may waste sunlight, but they're very cheap to produce.
Also, plants produce sugars from sunlight almost directly. Intuitively, producing electricity from sunlight and then using that electricity to produce sugars could not possibly be more efficient. It could very well be that storing energy in carbon-hydrogen bonds is intrinsically inefficient.

It still doesn't make sense to me. If I inherit a farm or other asset, I don't owe capital gains until I sell it right? If the basis remained the same, it's not like I suffer in any way upon inheritance.
Hah!

I hadn't even noticed that, I just saw "I could build that for 1/4th the cost"+"wtf, only 4 drives?"

Stuff like this prompts a dual response in me. :)

It always gives me a strong urge to educate "it's not that hard, and it's fun" to build it yourself.

AND it always makes me kick myself for not commercializing the expandable media servers I started building in the early 2000s, for me, for the dorm, for my friends, i.e. exactly the people you identify. :)
My personal opinion based on the examples provided, is that while it may provide a good baseline, I disagree with some of the examples as being the correct thing to do. Information density intention and audience is important.

For example, I don't know if I agree with the removal of borders. Old reddit looks better for many folks because of the information density even if its an "uglier reddit".

Another example for a good UI but would not meet the "recommendations" of this book is https://www.mcmaster.com/
You could call me "AI serious complicationist" ("AI doomist" would probably be too much), and I still am as I'm writing this comment.

But your point about the required amount of iteration and all the complications along the way are convincing for me-- I've realized that there might be more steps along the way to "serious complications" than I thought.

So thank you for that!
Nice blog you have there! My RSS reader finds a feed on your website, but has problems showing it. It seems to validate as a valid Atom feed, so I was wondering if you ever heard before of external sites not being able to load it?
The ones who got land would go on to work that land since it was often their only source of income. Maybe it was more comfortable than being in the army, but it wasn’t the sort of retirement people enjoy these days.

It consistently surprises me how much software engineers devalue the effort of software engineering when it comes to their personal lives.

If you're a SWE in an English-speaking country, you almost certainly make $20 post-tax for at most one hour of work - 30m at SV salaries, as little as 15m if you're at a FAANG-ish company. Is it conceivable that you would spend less than an hour a year maintaining something like this if you were to do it yourself? I don't think so.

Most people can't earn money in increments of one additional hour, of course, but it still sounds strange to hear people say "why should I spend [the amount of money I earn in half an hour] per year when I could just do it myself [with an amount of professional effort I would expect to be paid 20x as much for]?"
When we are talking about medium to large enterprise customers, there is significant costs of switching a SaaS provider.

Vendor assessment, legal concerns, data privacy concerns, talks about SLA guarantees, talks about 24/7 support plans and much more. There will likely be several departments involved. Technical folks, legal people, data privacy experts etc.

That new deal could pass easily thru 50 peoples desk before getting signed eventually. For what? A 15% saving that could be wiped out with the next round of price adjustments from the new vendor? Simply not worth it. That is why SaaS revenue tends to be so sticky.
No one will let go of oil at all. Nor should they.
The president of the entity that presumes to be politically representative in negations with or against the US and China should absolutely be voted for. Mike Johnson or any other speaker of the US House of Representatives doesn't have a fraction of the power that von der Leyen currently holds.

I can't think of any presidential government where the president is not also voted for by the people (at least none, that "the west" considers a democracy).

Would you think US citizens would accept not being able to vote on the matter of who becomes president?

Then why is it ok for EU citizens not to vote on that issue?
I mean that java libraries that do use native code don't ship packages with c source code, that the user is expected to compile locally, as is common in python, ruby, and node. But instead they typically have a jar that includes a pre-compiled binary library, or several to support multiple platforms. So as long as you are using one of the supported platforms, it just works. But if you are on a platform that doesn't have a pre-compiled library, you will probably need to build the package yourself.
And yet, countries without unrealized gains taxes still have courts, police, and military.
Why not. For simple things like converting, translating its quite handy and the costs are with you. I use open models for removing backgrounds from images. Also use models to translate texts. Openai would be too expensive for my usecases.

My main issue with bazel is that adopting it means giving up good editor integrations for anything besides JVM (maybe C/C++ as well, I haven't touched that). And even then, only IntelliJ has good support.

I think a lot of smaller (read: most) companies adopt bazel without realizing this. You will pay dearly in terms of developer experience in exchange for the benefits bazel purports to offer.
Sourcehut isn't as easy to set up compared to gogs / gitea. i guess it does have a "lighter" UI than those two.
To me, it reads like this: “those who log off of Slack are more productive” which matches my experience perfectly. My productivity shoots up as soon as I close Slack.
Some screenshot would make sense, at least in the readme.md on github. I recall GEOS on Commodore 64, 2 1541 floppy disks (speeddos?) it was a miracle, all running in 64kB: GUI, editor, calculator and other apps. Nowadays single static images are much larger than 64kB (at higher resolution though).
How exactly in scenario 1 would the service protect itself against sock-puppets? How can they make sure that two different accounts are tied to two different users? How do they prune "false" accounts? We see that kind of stuff being done by Facebook for instance (real name policy), and it has basically nothing to do with MFA.

In scenario 1.5 the service has to make sure users are protected. I believe it is counter productive there to force users beyond some reasonable step. For instance, it would be unacceptably discriminatory for a bank to require users to have an Android or iOS phone application to be able to make payments online. (Flip phone users should not be second class citizens.)

Scenario 2 is almost exclusively about employees. Issuing hardware to employees is not difficult. I have 2 company-issued laptops, one from my company, one from my client. If my client wanted to increase security, it would be trivial for them to just give me a USB security key, and it would be trivial for me to just plug that key and touch it whenever there's a pop-up saying I should touch it. I don't see the difficulty here.

In fact, given the choice of installing Okta on my personal phone, or using a security dongle, I would take the security dongle every time. Not only does it better separate work stuff from personal stuff, it's actually more convenient.
Yeah I agree, I was being hyperbolic because I wrote that from my phone while walking around so didn't want to spend the time elaborating.

I still take two supplements nearly daily. Those being choline and d3. Every now and then magnesium. However my first hand experience with toxicity as a result of nothing more than my attempt at gaining some type of insurance policy against bad health really caused me to reevaluate supplements and respect them in the same vein as any other drug.

So now, I refuse to supplement anything until I can prove deficiency and a need with a blood test. In other words, spending the 50-100$ on a blood test is now my insurance against repeating my mistake.

Unfortunately I can't test for choline status however I still supplement it based on my genomics and because it makes a clear difference in my cognitive function.

I did not forget 25% social security. I listed taxes for the employee (as stated in my message).

If we look at total taxes and include taxes paid by the employer (fair point), your figures are still wrong, as these 3 countries still set a total tax burden inferior to 50%, far from the 70% you quote.

There is no VAT on wages/payroll, either in the UK or the EU (1)

The figures I quote include regional taxes in Germany and Spain which have them.

Taxes (incl. pension + unemployment + health insurance and other social contributions) on 200K euros annual gross salary, for a single, no-dependents employee (the most unfavourable situation)

Spain (2):

Taxes [employee]: 81,915 EUR [40.96% of 200K EUR]

Taxes [employer]: 15,596 EUR [45.13% of 215K EUR]

** the page you source is wrong for salaries over 55K EUR, see explanation at the bottom (3)

France (4):

Taxes [employee]: 87,866 EUR [43.94% of 200K EUR]

Taxes [employer]: 24,119 EUR [49.97% of 224K EUR]

Germany (5):

Taxes [employee]: 86,439.33 EUR [43.22% of 200K EUR]

Taxes [employer]: 15,078 EUR [47.20% of 215K EUR]

UK (6) [200K EUR = 172K GBP]:

Taxes [employee]: 70,185 GBP [40.90% of 172K GBP]

Taxes [employer]: 22,425 GBP [47.73% of 194K GBP]

(3) In Spain, social insurance taxes (contingencias comunes) are calculated as 28.3% of 1.6K (min) to 4.5K (max) mensual income. Anything over that does not compute for that calculation. So the employer can at most pay 1080 EUR/mo (23.6%) and the employee 211 EUR (4.7%) a month as opposed to the 4K the page you source mentions
