300 cc should be similiar to around 800 lichess.

800 is very low in Lichess. If you can think just two moves ahead without losing pieces, you get 1000 easily.

For improving longer time controls are better.

Yes and no. There are different aspects to the game. Every variety is good for something.

After playing a lot of bullet, I win easily in blitz just because the time advantage. But the reverse is also true. After playing more slower games, my fast games get better.

And there are some parts of the game that you just need to sit down with a book and a couple of boards.
It's not about any OS in particular, but Per Brinch Hansen has a book called Classic Operating Systems: From Batch Processing To Distributed Systems, which showcases a lot of historically important essays in operating system history. The back of the book says it "includes a bibliography of about 60 operating systems".

Could anyone elaborate on the difference between software decoding and CPU decoding? Software decoding uses the CPU right?

That was an interesting abstract, looking forward to read it!
Still, unless the deal volume is really low, I doubt that's what driving the price growth.

Capital is much more fungible and flexible than labor. Foreign capital inflows, particularly speculative, can do a lot more to drive up the prices for locals than a handful of remote workers.
If they had money or good representation, they would file an antitrust suit.
There's research showing that extended exposure to (extremely bright) sunlight can damage the eyes. There's no research I'm aware of showing that blue spectrum light from, eg., a computer or cellphone screen, which is what people are usually concerned with, can do damage. (And obviously nothing about blue lights on cars, but clearly they're not going to be particularly bright either.)
It looks like a fairly standard floppy drive. I might be misremembering or misinterpreted the particulars due to neither me and the hardware guy being able to speak the other's native tongue that well, but the upshot was despite what the circuit told me about the configurability of the controller chip, it was not going to work without DMA.
agree in principle, but i will split some hairs here. if you type "ls" into your local terminal, there's an implicit agreement that it will run the remote "ls" program. the helper program facilitates that in the same way that any other terminal + ssh + shell combo does. it only runs commands in response to your activities in the terminal.
Firefox still has no support for hardware video decode on Linux. There's all sorts of shims for it, but I've never managed to get them functioning. Maybe Vulkan video decode could be the one agnostic API to rule them all this time, especially if it's more cross-platform than the current situation.
Sure, Lufthansa can make up whatever rules they want for “safety”. Safest would be to not venture 7 miles above the arctic at 500mph at all. But if their rules are obviously in conflict with the standard operations at an airport, it’s on Lufthansa to adjust not everyone else. You can’t barge in and expect to get ATC priority on account of “company policy” or suddenly there’d be a lot of company policies requiring only direct routings with straight-in approaches.
I haven't read the book Lewis is talking about so I have little to say about what exactly he means by devil worship, however as someone quite familiar with his work, though long since having left religion myself, I can say that he is not one use a phrase like that merely out of petty spite or to be pejorative, but rather because he thinks it's the best technical description, at least that would fit into two or three words, that reflects this is analysis of the book's themes. Lewis was a medieval and renaissance English scholar before he was a Christian, and his professional work is far the greater portion of his writing and bears at leaat as much on his thinking as did his popular apologetics.

Lewis's model devil, both by his own description and by its depiction when he uses such a character in his fiction, is a kind of well mannered bureaucrat who just happens to be made of such a nature that his sustenance must come from feasting on human souls, and the more miserable his victims are by the experience of being utterly deprived of their individuality by complete and permanent dissolution into the self of this demon, the more pleasure it derives from consuming them. It is essentially inhuman but has no connection with the conventional idea of a monstrous man-bat scampering around with pitchforks and goat themed headgear. Lewis even pointed out, in case anyone missed the allusion, that selfishness of this complete and all-encompassing sort is a territory adjacent to that of sexual desire and conquest, and shares some of its traits. Love becomes a demon when he becomes a god, etc.

The reason this is worth pointing out is that Lewis is reliably consistent with his basic criticism of the modern world as tending toward an excessive and unhealthy elevation of monumental individuality, to the point that some individuals who are in advantaged circumstances to assert their individuality at the expense of others', by outright dominating them, or depriving them of opportunity, happiness, or satisfaction, will certainly do so. and if unchecked will grow just like a cancer, for that's what they are: apex parasites grooming their hosts, suppressing their spirit(ual) energies and curiosity by anesthetizing them with banal distractions this decade, only to drive them into bloody trenches the next. All so that a few can live impossible, unsustainable existences at the pinnacle of human society, of a culture they literally cultivate to keep themselves in rareified and thoroughly selfish power. The portrait Lewis draws of Mr Savage in the Pilgrim's regress is probably the most thorough exploration of this idea, and Lewis in the voice of a character (drudge) who is given one of the more sympathetic, clear eyed and and omniscient perspectives (i.e. the authors own voice) in the book, speaks of him with admiration and even goes off to join his massing armies of Swastici and Marxomanni, "who are all alike vassals of Cruelty."
If you read Sabre annual statements going back 10 years it’s well know the FAA has been totally deprived of ability to remedy these issues.

Does anyone else have the sinking feeling that GPT 4 is as good as things will get for quite a while?

Someone described LLMs as “blurry JPEGs of the Internet”.

In that sense, maybe GPT 4 is as smart as the hive mind of the Internet gets, and newer models just take sharper pictures but of the same subject. Perhaps GPT 4 trained on one of the best subsets available and everything else is going to be worse or the same…

It’s curious that Sam Altman has publicly stated that OpenAI isn’t working on GPT 5. Why not? Is it because they know it’s a pointless exercise with the current training approaches?
For the uninitiated, can some traffic get sent to 192.168.1.1. Is it round robin?

As startup founder my question is if anybody would pay for such a service?
>Nothing works perfectly on X11

Agreed. "Perfect" is a stretch. What I'm saying, though, is that on an NVidia card, I can actually run a graphical system with X11. It has screen tearing and freaks out when my monitors aren't framerate matched, but it runs.

Wayland crashes on startup. Every time. I've tried every setting, every environment variable, every kernel parameter, and it doesn't work at all. And when I roll up my sleeves and dig deep on forums/github issues, the answer I get is basically "Yeah, this is broken. Blame NVidia."

X11 isn't under active development. That's not a good situation. However, I don't think the alternative is very compelling when their response to a super common system configuration being totally broken is "not my problem. shoulda bought AMD."

>Sure Wayland doesn’t do everything X11 does. Yet. It’s also decades younger and doesn’t have decades worth of patches and workarounds making things work.

It's over a decade old. The remaining blindspots as far as X11 backwards compatibility should be super niche things. Not "using NVidia."
I've measured the repeatability on mine, and it was pretty good, though I don't remember the number right now.

The pressure sensor on the hottend is superior to any other method, because it has much better resolution (though maybe not better than the Beacon), and it can adjust to print conditions in real time, which no other start-of-print sensor can do.

It may be true that a part of the population already (privately?) thinks more like that. Some members of the justice system perhaps - criminal lawyers, charitably, and associated medical professionals.

These moments of "what if it wasn't like this?" always tend to lead me to ESS and fizzle out. The status quo which I called a local maxima is likely much less well defined and homogeneous than I speculated and where we find ourselves is just what you get when you mix hate / compassion / firewall / dispose / debug in today's specific concentrations
The thing about modern AI, it's that operations involved here (e.g. Dense matmuls) are lot simpler and GPU friendly than what you'd find in a typical HPC applications. This means you can get pretty close to peak hardware performance using high-level languages like Python or OpenAI's Triton. I think it's unlikely that the push to improve ROCm's standard libraries will come from an AI-focused startup
Do most DNS forwarders not block addresses that resolve to a local IP these days? I know dnsmasq does, and NextDNS too I think.

Adobe says no to buyout deal, but Quark still pressing (1998)
>>> ...a bi-partisan foursome of US lawmakers ... sending a letter to the Department of Justice regarding "Apple's potential anti-competitive treatment of the Beeper Mini messaging application.

I'm sorry, but why did any one waste any effort on this. If you know the tech, or the law, or a bit of both you would understand why this "letter" is a waste. SMS works, you have choice (Signal, not happy with them for cutting off sms). Apple seems to be locking beeper out of its servers, and that is their right.
People are also extremely bad accountants, and if they sell a house for more than they bought it they accrue everything to profit, even if the rents during the time barely covered the mortgage (and/or didn’t cover repairs and maintenance at all). Large appreciation has hid the real costs associated with landlording.
> Quark said it would consider divesting Adobe's K-2 and PageMaker products to alleviate antitrust concerns.

Note: K-2 was the code name for InDesign, which was not yet released in 1998.
Well, i had the same question and looking for this & the rules in general was... lets call it "a fun evening".

Those common charger EU rules pushing USB-C via the Radio Equipment Directive are actually only for the device, and even a specific list of types. But in briefing document [2] (made for RED change last year) mentions:

> a separate initiative on the eco-design for the external power supply (EPS) would harmonise the EPS-side receptacle and the communication protocol.

So "EPS" is what we are looking for and they use some eco laws to regulate them. [1] gives an overview and links COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/1782. And again, it only applies to a specific set of devices, with power tools not being listed. Doubt those fall under "Other toys, leisure and sports equipment"^^

Back to that EPS initiative... from my understanding, it [3] seems to be still "Planned for Third quarter 2023". Feedback period ended in May 2022, ofc.

The department seems to have vacant spot [4] for an expert, btw :)

> Overvoltage is now routine in places where there's lots of PV installed in homes and not enough load nearby.

Every solar inverter / microinverter manufactured in the past two decades (if not older) must monitor the grid voltage+frequency and disconnect if it falls outside of a certain tolerance. If things go out of tolerance there is a defined period of time where it must recover or the inverter is required to trip out. There are also hard safety limits that cannot be exceeded whatsoever. I am not aware of any conditions that would result in overvoltage.

In CA as of (IIRC) 2021 these systems must be hooked up to some kind of online monitoring so the utility can temporarily command them to exceed tolerances. If the grid is going unstable due to load the last thing you want is everyone's PV system tripping off making the supply situation worse. So the utility can inform the system to exceed the normally tight tolerances by a larger deviation. They can also command PVs systems to shut off but there are strict limits on how often and how long they can do that and it must be driven by grid stability needs.
Yeah, but he tends to lie across the middle of the bed so would be detected as two people and send the house into bedtime mode. :-)

Mostly I'm just jealous that the dog spends more time in my bed than I do.
That was my question. How do I create the gguf?
From the article it sounds like they are periodically fetching a token using a Mac, but they can send messages from a phone by just saving that token.
Yes, exactly! I'm very excited by it, if it works well, it'll be a revolution. Any other sensor that measures the bed is strictly worse, because it only does so once, rather than continuously. The Beacon does look pretty great, though.
Not obtaining permission and not needing permission are two very different things.

Permission is absolutely required in Japan, legally speaking. In practice, the requirement for permission is ignored under gentlemen's agreements.
Yeah. I was so amused to see “High resolution” in the (editorialized) title when the featured image is 566x409 pixels lmao. But that wide shot is gorgeous!

I really think HN should remove “high resolution” from the title of this post because it’s editorialized and false, but it’s not a big deal.
That would require cutting off a bunch of old devices as well, though.
yes! would love to do this. the biggest issue is security and how to sandbox that html from the rest of the terminal. we have some ideas on how to do this (iframes, postMessage, etc.) that i think could work.
The article skirts around the edges of this, but it’s pretty clear that all Beeper is doing is defeating a cached hardware check by falsely representing itself as being the Mac device used for “registration data”. I expect that some change is in the works that will break it entirely, and unless regulators are interested in forbidding hardware checks entirely I don’t see what they would do to intervene here.
> And given that the government is chosen by the people to carry out their bidding, it would be odd for them to then threaten it.

I don’t think its good to pretend that some holy god falls out of the sky every few years during election time and asks every citizen who they want to choose as their leader.

No one’s talking about slinging guns and start shooting up all the politicians. If one doesn’t like a policy, they should go to the courts, write a letter to their representatives or vote for someone else the next time who they agree more with.

The issue is in pretending as if all of this is a god given right. It needs to be defended every moment.

You dont want an elected representative to come to power, setup the military to be loyal to that leader and then pull the rug on everyone else, jail the opposition, enslave the public.

I’m not saying this out of some fiction book, it’s happening as we speak in Myanmar, happens every few years in Pakistan, essentially the status quo in North Korea.

A robust democracy should not depend on the good will of dear leader. But be based on the foundation of its public.

More people are dying in america from drug addiction (from hopelessness and neglect of society), obesity, drunk driving, suicides every month, than you’ll see deaths from the 2nd amendment rights of everyday citizens to have guns and the right to carry them.

You have to ask yourself, why politicians rile up the public so deeply about the 2nd amendment, but totally ignore the common public’s disheartening reality and abandonment.

The 2nd amendment is a worst case scenario law, if you read history of most countries across the world and the tyranny of governments who have 0 fear of public, maybe it might change your mind.

I’m not saying that the 2nd amendment makes american politicans shiver in their beds and make it hard to sleep at night, or prevent them from still disappointing the public.

But there are far more worse realities which would make the current “hell” look like a sweet ideal utopia.

Every country and its citizens should strive to improve the lives of the public, disarming the masses is an odd hill to die on while on that quest.
> End-to-end tests are unit tests, generally speaking.

Generally, in the software industry, those terms are not considered the same thing, they are at opposite ends of a spectrum. Unit tests are testing more isolated/individual functionality while the end to end test is testing an entire business flow.

Here's an example of one end to end test (with validations happening at each step):

1-System A sends Inventory availability to system B

2-The purchasing dept enters a PO into system B

3-System B sends the PO to system A

4-System A assigns the PO to a Distribution Center for fulfillment

5-System A fulfills the order

6-System A sends the ASN and Invoice to system B

7-System B users process the PO receipt

8-System B users perform three way match on PO, Receipt and Invoice documents
As far as I'm aware, no other messaging service offers interop any more. We used to have it with XMPP, which got embraced and extinguished. Back in the day you could use an app like Adium or a library like Pidgin which understood all of the protocols.

It sounds to me like Apple could break out Messages from SMS and then Messages would just be another competitor on the market like FB Messenger, whatever the fuck Google is running now, WhatsApp, Signal, etc.

FWIW Beeper's 'esoteric' fix is a gaping security hole. Their product relies on MITM and they're obviously not going to profit off of a minimal subscription fee if they're buying Apple hardware to make it happen.

I often break complex statements down to several simpler statements.

One: It gets easier to debug the exact step when things go wrong.

Two: It's a way of 'showing my working', as they told us to do in school.

Three: Simpler code is easier and faster to maintain.

If I had a product I sold that involved cloud resources I certainly wouldn’t like the idea that anybody who can reverse engineer my protocol should be able to build and sell a product built on that infrastructure without permission or payment. I’m on Apple’s side on this one.

According to this page it should work on M1 MBP, but there is also a note about a specific patch released next week.
It’s also simple math. If 10k new units are built, you either need 10k new people to enter the market, or prices will drop.

Do enough of it and rents will begin to fall below loan maintenance, causing even more sales and more price drops.
I couldn't tell. Had I made this joke myself, I would have dropped the irrelevant Foundation reference and made it more obvious by wondering aloud if this "hypothetical" device might rotate somehow, or be used to store music.

Perhaps such a device would be named a "Concise Disc".
Apple using iMessage as a moat, and locking it to their platform, and including it as a built in, is pissing off a lot of other competitors. Microsoft got smacked for this kind of behavior in the 90s (albeit, they acted a lot more egregiously).

Apple purposefully degrades major features of their chat app when SMS users are onboard. They will be adopting RCS, which will address a lot of this and probably take a lot of pressure off them.

When you have that much of a market, it becomes way more complicated than "their servers, their devices, their rules"
