At some point every render-engine builder goes through the exercise of imagining purely physically-modeled photonic simulation. How soon one gives up on this computationally intractable task with limited marginal return on investment is a signifier of wisdom/exhaustion.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what the status is of Unity's patent on ECS? I remember this thread [0] from a few years ago, and it looks like the patent is still valid [1], but I still see ECS all over the place outside of Unity contexts. Is Unity just not interested in enforcing the patent? Do they know they'd lose if they tried? Or am I missing a recent development?

It’s wonderfully ironic that he began with a passage from War and Peace since Russia is full, at so many levels, of the longing of which he speaks, both the Russia contemporary to Tolstoy and today, where they invaded a country in hopes of being recognized as a nation in the “inner ring”.
the article is true, 15% of reddit content is bots or corporate tolls. Thats what the study says.

While "true" color is fine, this is more a translation of color. There may be people who can see different spectrum, but to translate it to something the mass can see (understand), is required.

I tried it, it’s nice overall, I thought it’s CPU intensive but it turned out it’s because I have htop running in wave terminal, running it outside however seems to be normal.
My only criticism would be the UI, it’s clunky and I loathe the side-menu design in sites let alone in my everyday terminal, especially when there’s a menu on top already, and the logo is there despite if you tried to hide the menu, additionally, the whole “prompt-looking” design at the bottom isn’t great either, would prefer to have it on top and the history just go on the bottom instead, but those are my personal preference from 5min test.

AMD cards + ROCm are used in top supercomputers for (non-deep learning) HPC. Why is this the case?

I understand that AMD GPUs offer better cost efficiency for F32 & F64 FLOPs, RAM, and wattage. But however, if ROCm is such a half baked piece, shouldn't that advantage be gone? What drives AMD adoption in the HPC space then?

It is for using GPU video related ASICs (same as VAAPI let's say). If you want to use shaders for some video filters, scaling and such - you don't need those extensions.

mpv for example can use Vulkan for both at the same time.

The problem isn't "no <x>" the problem is the extreme hype and FOMO in people who want to believe "<x> is around the corner" and build systems, belief, money, ponzi schemes, you-name-it predicated on <x> but, as you note, AGI isn't happening.

Taking LLMs and generative systems as evidence of emergent behaviour is taking fools gold in the rock for signs of the valuable stuff.

Ask yourself: How many times have you downvoted people like me who say "it's not happening" because of your emotional ties to the belief it is happening.
The hilarious part to me is the number of otherwise intelligent people concerned that this sort of stupidity is a threat to humanity.

The only real threat is from people willing to trust AI.
Wait, I'm a little confused on the confusion. Are flashing reds not common? In my area a lot of lights switch to flashing red at night or just intersections will be flashing red (and flashing yellow opposite - one way stop signs) all the time. If I ever saw a flashing red I would know to treat it like a stop sign even at a foreign intersection. Or am I misunderstanding the HAWK system?
I think IDEA Ultimate was $89 back then and the All Products was $149 until last year. Are you sure you had the All Products pack the whole time?
In general, stuff that locks rows tends to "snap" values into existence regardless of repeatable read.

If you want to update a record based upon data in another record, you should do a locking read on that something else and maybe the record you're updating. If you run an sql query to update a record based upon some other record using a single query, MySQL will lock both for you anyways.

If you need to update something based upon multiple something elses, in my experience that's very deadlock prone. Instead you should lock some kinda locking record, then do a repeatable read on the data you want, then do an update.

The point in time of the repeatable read isn't established until you perform a consistent read. Select... for update isn't a consistent read. So it works perfectly fine in the face of concurrency while not locking dozens or hundreds of rows using a normal SQL update.
Personally, I want reality, reality being what I would see if I fly by in a space ship.
Rules have ambiguity. If there's a rule like "no jokes allowed" how do you decide that mechanically without human judgment? Do you seriously believe everything is binary without nuance?

This entire argument is over whether or not I'm understanding your words correctly, and you're simultaneously arguing that words are not ambiguous and have a clearly defined meaning. I feel like you're missing the irony here.
I would believe that if they unblocked the IP address once they found out the "attack" was done by journalists.

Unless these endpoints are under constant attacks and can't figure out which IP addresses belonged to the journalists, but then they shouldn't trivialise the impact of this thread in their response.
I’ve probably mis-categorized produce when using self-checkout. Often I can’t remember what type of thing I picked up. And I’m terrible at spelling, so I often have trouble looking up vegetables using the “search by name” feature. This UX problem could be solved if they just put RFID tags in all produce so you got 100% scans, like at the Uniqlo self checkouts.

I periodically check out YouTube while not signed in, to see what YouTube is pushing to the unidentified. It's just like TV used to be, aimed at a pretty low target. And that's nearly all American TV had. At least YouTube still has a longer tail of genuinely good work.
I have been advocating for the longest time that "repeatable read" is just a bad idea. Even if implementations were perfect. Even when it works correctly in the Database, it is still very tricky to reason about when dealing with complex queries.

I think two isolation levels that make sense are either:

* read committed

* serializable

You either go all the way to have a serializable setup, where there are no surprises. OR, you go in read committed direction where it is obvious that if you want have a consistent view of the data within a transaction, you have to lock the rows before you start reading them.

Read committed is very similar to just regular multi-threaded code and its memory management, so most engineers can get a decent intuitive sense for it.

Serializable is so strict that it is pretty hard to make very unexpected mistakes.

Anything in-between is a no man's land. And anything less consistent than Read Committed is no longer really a database.
I don't know, there's many stories of modern soldiers doing terrible things, coming back to the civilized world and living horrible lives due to PTSD and not being able to parse what they did.

Are you suggesting every one of those soldiers for example, go out to war with the intent of killing children? Are you not open to the idea that the sense of normalcy can be shifted by the environment and context? Are you familiar with the milgram experiments?

I think you're right, and perhaps I think the underlying issue uncovered by OP might be: the lack of a single core set of features to achieve a sense of mastery with, that feeling like you've understood an implementation stdlib might have given.

(I will admit I've felt profoundly stupid when I go from "how hard could it be to implement std::optional/reference counted pointers/etc., anyway?", to say GNU's implementation of it in libc++.)

What the feeling of security that new features giveth, having to work with large idiosyncratic codebases and a wide variety of toolchains taketh.
A trick I made up this week is to start a chat with an LLM and only ever say “continue”. I tried this with Bard and at first it says “I’m sorry but I’m going to need more information, what do you want to talk about? Here are some things you could ask: (it provides a list)” but if you just keep prompting it with “continue” then after about 20 cycles the form sort of floats around and it can get kinda weird. It’s real interesting.
The most viable approach these days is for 2D is to use the 3D hardware. There's no standard, usable API for 2D accelerated drawing the way there is for 3D, nor does it quite make sense for there to be one.

(No, OpenVG is not viable. No, Xrender is not viable. cairo and Skia both use the 3D hardware in combination with a CPU render engine.)
Huh, I stand corrected. I always figured they stuffed it in its own little bit of silicon. Thanks for clearing it up!
I meant including the cost in time, money, and effort of getting the degree.
If you have evidence to show that making compliance more efficient encourages non-compliance, I'd like to see it.

And yeah, I’m using the word compliance in the straightforward, obvious way. If that’s a problem for you, I don’t think this discussion is ever going to be useful.

Think about it. If legislation can make FRAND mandatory, it can also make the penalties sufficiently unfavourable to large corporations. Perhaps, and I’m just spitballing here, back pay for non-compliance could have a defined multiplier. Then there could be an additional multiplier for non-compliance after the date a complaint is made by the patent holder. And a further additional multiplier for non-compliance if the corporation has revenues over $100 million annually.

That’s literally the first idea that came to my dumbass ignorant head and I’m sure there’s a dozen much better ones out there. The key point is that the system can be built in such a way that a patent holder doesn’t need a team of lawyers with clever tricks to be entitled to favourable outcomes. Standardise it all and you reduce the dynamic range of advantage between parties of different size.
I think you've misread what I said. The "Why can't people play nicely?" people would just have to accept that certain cultures cannot play nicely with each other.

To address your point: there are plenty of people in history that survived as tributaries or colonies.
My mac cost like 7k with taxes.

the R7G costs a lot less as I can turn it off and return it when i'm not using it. To do that processing job I'm paying less than a few bucks... less than that as I work for an company with aws discounts. At the rates I get for those machines it'd take several years to equal the 7k or so my mac cost when processing. And it's again absurdly faster. When you take into account actual streaming which is unfair as the data is in the same data center with the cloud instance, the job on the mac took 4 hours just to stream the data in and map it, and around 4 hours to reduce it. Both stages of that on the r7g were around 16 minutes. Again unfair as even though I have gigabit at home I'm still pulling 2-4x the throughput in the cloud instance from S3.

My workloads aren't generally egressing tons of data from AWS, Im not running a file sharing service... that's not the majority of our costs. I'm not just bulk serving data from S3, I'm doing a lot of processing on data.

anyway, I provided as close to I can on numbers. Take it or leave it on if you believe me.
The original article has load-bearing typography in the title, which was lost when it was posted here.

> why would Apple think it's ok to accept "your private key" as proof that you're still the owner?

Isn't that the whole point of this argument? The buyer shouldn't need to convince Apple. My suggestion was to eliminate Apple's power to brick a device and then be the judge who decides whether you own the machine or not.

The private key mechanism is a good way to deter theft, but Apple should not be policing it. The steal back is really an edge case that doesn't need to be covered by a technical solution.
I'm not very familiar with rust, but isn't the point to mostly avoid `unsafe` and write safe code? Strange that basic std vec functions like insert and remove call `unsafe` - isn't this an example where you don't want to be like the std lib?

That makes sense. They have a method that is going to get them doctorates and good jobs, so they want to publish on it.

But, publishing prevents them from having a monopoly on gold mining.

So they publish using uranium, hoping it will be classified, or that at least some of the details will be classified.
Tell HN: Apple would not approve how invasive Apple Music is were it 3rd-party
I find it bizarre that the strict guidelines apple puts in place for app store usability (mainly, needing to be able to use features in the app without signing up or committing to payment) are hilariously and sorely missing from core apple services such as Apple Music. I have a link sharing site for music and couldn't find if the song was correct for linking because to even preview the song you need a subscription. Just to preview it! So how is this cool or helpful? Anyway, just telling y'all.
I love the self-checkouts some grocery stores in the Netherlands have.

When you arrive you can either grab a hand scanner or open the app. Scan items as you put it in the cart, get to the self checkout and either scan the QR code on your phone or place the hand scanner in the socket, pay and you’re done.

Check is done by having a little gate that opens by scanning your receipt, with an employee on the other side that randomly checks your receipt against what you have in your cart.

No scale BS, no “place the item in the bagging area” nagging, no lockup for the most mundane reasons, just smooth sailing.
It isn't. It isn't. It isn't. It is.

> a home makes a lot of the activities one needs to do to "get ahead" in life more physically feasible

100%

Basic hygiene, a place to store your belongings and clothes, an area to prepare yourself and look good for the day. A location to use a computer or do paperwork or other managerial tasks. The ability to store food and participate in bulk purchases for savings. A place to rest and relax and consume media or enjoy a hobby. A solid place to sleep, every night, in your perferred area and with your perferred pillows and bedding. A place to store a vehicle. A place to bring friends and family and entertain. Cooking the food you want and eating at the schedule that works best for you. A place to organize your external life and showcase your own personality. A familiar place to develop habits and routine.

I don't see how there is any question. People who are homeless not only lack all of these and more, but some suffer additional stress, anxiety, and embarassment about acquiring these basic things every day.
The linked article shows the "standard" pinout for a 3.5" floppy drive, and it's clear the interface is below the level of anything like DMA.

I assume even if you were using something that looked like a standard floppy drive, it was using a higher level interface, or was including something like the controller ISA board in the "interface".

FFTW [1] does something like this, not just for parallelism but also for selecting optimal algorithms for a given data set and architecture. It uses "wisdom" to store known-good combinations, falling back on quick heuristics and brief benchmarking when needed. If you're going to do a lot of something you can have it update the wisdom from full benchmarks.

Reread my comment as this was already addressed.

I explicitly stated products other than produce and meats are in the category of foods that typically are difficult to gauge quality of.

To specifically list out the products I'm talking about, consider: milk, oatmeal, flour, snack foods, ice cream, beverages, cheese, broth/stock, prepared soups, condiments such as ketchup, cooking oils, packages of tea bags, breads, jams, and so forth.

Vegetables and meats are only slightly easier to gauge quality of because they are typically not packaged, however, anyone who cooks at home regularly can tell you that you still run the risk of getting bad produce/meats even with a close-up visual inspection.

There is certainly a requirement that prevents payout on the contract for those supers if performance numbers aren’t met. Further, those performance numbers are from real apps, so the system WILL be useful. Not getting paid is not an option, so performance/usability will come.
Important to understand that with these kinds of libraries, it's one thing to get everything working, and a whole other to have it all be fast. Given finite resources AMD are (rightfully) focused on the second, for a narrower set of use cases - namely big customers with big pockets, using the latest compute cards.

See, for example, the world's fastest super computer. That's a whole lot more than a presentation tick box.

As someone doing relatively small scale work, on gaming cards, you just aren't the target user. While these kinds of users are well represented on forums, they're a rounding error in terms of actual $.

Switching to SYCL makes no sense. They need to unseat Nvidia, and specifically CUDA. The whole point of HIP is to clone CUDA, make it easy for users to switch and piggy back on Nvidias success.

I used to work in this space (not at AMD lol), and generally I don't think the comments on HN are fair to AMD. Obviously ROCm has a long way to go (CUDA and libs are some truly amazing work), but it's going.
