You’re not alone! I run Gentoo on all my devices. GPD Win 4, Pixelbook with coreboot, my NAS, and a VPS. Why (IMO)?

1. Best documentation I have ever used.

2. Infinite amount of customization. Your system can be as minimalist or maximalist as you’d like.

3. Portage overlays > AUR any day of the week.

4. Choose your own init system. Want SystemD? Fine. Want OpenRC? Go right ahead!

5. It’s hard to understate the power of a good community with well-described values. I feel safe and at home with Gentoo because I know that it will always value the #1 thing I care about on Linux: freedom. Gentoo is like a choose your own adventure. Want to run SystemD + Gnome + PulseAudio + binary packages? You can do that. Want to run OpenRC + Hyprland + Pipewire + NetworkManager instead of netifrc? Go for it!

Gentoo isn’t about compiling everything, it’s about choosing everything. Today’s announcement (although irrelevant to me) gives users more choices.
Disney is big in India through Hotstar and Star India which they acquired along with Fox.

As a Japanese, I was surprised that Tofu is almost always treated as a meat alternative in the US, even in many Chinese restaurants. Where is Mapo-tofu :face-with-rolling-eyes:

But I would consider the tofu-as-meat-alternative "marking" a success, given the massive adoption compared to other Asian ingredients which are pushed to the small Asian corner of the grocery stores.

That limitation is totally artificial.

There is nothing stopping AMD from allowing the sale of an affordable 48GB 7900 (or 32GB 7800) right now... In fact they already do in the form of the W7900, for $4500. They just don't sell those at competitive consumer prices, as they are playing the anticompetitive artificial segmentation game right alongside Nvidia, because they somehow think their tiny workstation market is more valuable than seeding AI development on their cards.

Technically speaking, AMD could sell "cheap" 96GB+ GPUs by simply swapping the 7000 series memory controller die. This would take some time and money, but not an eternity + fortune like Nvidia would need to tape out a whole new GPU die.

Intel has no workstation market to lose. I suspect the Arc A770 was kinda late and skimpy for a 32GB "AI" SKU, but the next generation could be very interesting.

Breaking the x86 instruction set (2017) [video]
I've taken 2 of David Beazley's courses.[1] And, I highly recommend them. If you haven't seen some of his talks, he's very good at explaining things by building them from nothing.

I took 2 courses: "Rafting Trip" and "Write a Compiler". Both were awesome. The Rafting Trip took us through implementing the Raft consensus algorithm from scratch. And the "Write a Compiler" course had us build a small language using LLVM.

Both courses (but especially the Rafting trip one) were definitely for experienced programmers. In the courses I took, people generally had at least 5 years of professional work. And even still, there were a few people that really struggled to stay on pace in the course.

But at the end, most people had a (kinda) working Raft library or compiler!

The reason I ask is that it would explain the "undercount."
Yay author here, and this made my day <3.
In the early days, vendors didn't know how much NPPs would cost, so they priced them to sell, so they could gain that data. Later prices reflected that experience.

One can view the increase over time of nuclear costs as the replacement of wishful thinking with actual experience.
I am in this boat as well. Our stream subscriptions are down to zero -- just the one I get for free with my cell carrier. And as for Disney and whatever the heck it is they have become, I have reverted back to purchasing purchased discs of any good movies or series.
@toast0, would you still use Erlang/OTP today?

If so, for what kind of apps.

If not anymore, what would you use instead.

You lose the right to defend your trademark if you don't make an effort to defend your trademark.

If 3M comes out with their own hook-and-loop fastener and calls it "3M Velcro", the court would say "you can't sue 3M over this since you clearly don't care when people say Velcro". This whole video is just to establish precedent.
Isn't this just over three months early?

But this sounds good to make it more optional to compile every time.
JetBrains “won” because of code inspection tools and code completion that was light years ahead of Eclipse and Netbeans. I remember in my Java days I used to be able to do in a keystroke what my Eclipse friends did in a dozen dialogs.
It will in rural areas, but the remaining population is still packing into the major cities. Same thing is happening in Europe with the €1 homes in empty villages.
> honestly can't remember if it was official docs, community forum or what

Not sure how long this has been true for, but the Gentoo Wiki (which includes the Gentoo Handbook[0]) is an absolute goldmine of information, and is probably what you were looking at if I had to guess.

> depends how much against the NPT you are

It depends on how realistic you are.

> possible to reduce our collective stocks through diplomacy

Sure. But the world is currently sprinting in the opposite direction, with belligerence proliferating. And coupling an entirely separate coördination problem to the already labyrinthian onr of climate change is conceding the game at the opening.

> it needs to be lavished with subsidies to even exist

Nope. Gen III+ reactors are competitive with solar within a few years.
> The workcation visa doesn't allow holders to apply for a job within Korea. Foreigners will need other working visas to do so.

My understanding is there are other visas for people working at a Korea-based office.

It definitely won't work for people who need to be on the same working hours though. I've done that with east coast (13 hours ahead) and it was rough.
To be fair, your personal example would likely not be a quality argument in any case, and you not qualifying for a program in another country wouldn't necessarily good or bad in itself.

A strong argument should not only, as it is customary in modern times, to look at the advantages and the interest of the individual, but also consider the benefit of the commons, in this case the the country that (hopefully) designed their digital nomad program to the benefit of its population. It is their responsibility to attract and reject people accordingly.
You're trying to think of problems, not solutions.

It's pretty easy to think of a good solution with few enough downsides that overall the design is much better:

In the REPL only, if you type "exit" and press enter, it quits.

No changes to Python semantics required. All code still works. Much friendlier UX.

I wonder what dubious justification the Python Devs would come up with to avoid implementing that (and therefore admitting they've been wrong for 20 years). They'd probably try and claim it is more confusing to beginners or some nonsense like that.
I think the parent is wondering why consumers care about novelty ("varied taste") instead of quality. Of course, you can have both or neither. I don't know, but the epics of Homer lasted thousands of years because, presumably, people thought they were just damn good. Will Andor, a disposable Disney show, be remembered in twenty years, let alone 100? Probably not.
I think the "defend it or lose it" nature of trademarks may be a US wrinkle, but I'm not sure.

During the 90s, Nintendo popularized the use of the term "game console" to avoid people's moms calling their competitors "Nintendos". Like Atari before them, their name had become synonymous with video games in general, something they wanted to avoid in order to protect their trademark.

There are references to "consoles" before this happened, dating back to the early 80s, but in everyday language most kids called them "video game systems" or by their brand names (Atari, Nintendo, Sega, etc.).
Was any market fundamentals or economics covered in the education you received? Topics like supply and demand and price signals.
Yup, even Buddhist do not eat Tofu as “meat”. They’re usually a form soy product but not exclusively tofu.
“I think it would be a valid argument to [do impossible thing given there is no control case]”

Alternatively, you can just realize that copyright exists to retain incentive to create and share creative work. AI’s entire value prop in this domain, quite explicitly, is to obviate the need for artists to be doing the art. That is incentive destruction. You can observe that artists tend not to publish work directly into public domain despite always having the ability. You can observe that most art people actually consume is made by professional artists.

It’s not hard to connect the dots when one steps outside of their own ridiculous sense of entitlement to profit off others’ work.

I’d respect the anti-copyright view a whole lot more if they just came out and said it: “I deserve to be able to profit off other people’s labor without paying them.”
To a crypto noob like me, XMR is the only crypto that makes sense and I am ever surprised it's not more popular.

It aims for one thing, untraceable payments, and not only seems to do that well, it actually is used to pay for stuff. Granted, most of that stuff is probably illegal, but it seems to work as a currency and not an 'investment' which seems to be the case for most of the other coins.
How about a North Korean equivalent for those of us making lower salaries? They could call it the “Kim Possible” Visa!
Wouldn't we rather trend model memory requirements down? This way models/devices meet in the middle.
There is a lot of FUD about wind (less so for hydro which has some real issues) but the scale of the problems that can occur are orders of magnitude less than Nuclear.
"An Elegant Puzzle" by Will Larson[0] is revelatory when it comes to leading a software engineering team. There is a solution to every organizational problem I've encountered in companies from single digits to thousands. That book alone, along with its intentional and organized bibliography is one of the best investments you can make in a tech career. Even without context on the size of your company, Larson's new "The Engineering Executive's Primer"[1] will surely make a valuable introduction too.

His education and his upbringing definitely weren't free, they were paid for by his parent's taxes, and he is now repaying society by paying taxes himself (I mean, presumably, obviously if he's dodging taxes then that's a different discussion :P). He doesn't owe society (and let's be real, in this specific topic we're really talking about megacorps with literally trillions of dollars in their coffers wanting to absorb as much data as they can en-masse for free in order to train their toy AIs with which they'll earn a few more trillions off the backs of others) a release of whatever it is he creates for no recompense.
I agree that housing prices are somewhat decoupled from local population trends, but at the end of the day _someone_ has to live on the property for it to be worth anything. In order for the speculation to pay off, somebody, at the end of the day has to pay for it to use it, otherwise it's just a ponzi scheme.

It might take a long time, but at some point the chickens will come home to roost. Or roast...
For the city Namur though, it's the French name that is displayed.

And for some reason, the province of Luxembourg becomes "District Luxemburg", which seems to suggest it's Dutch, but the Dutch name would be "Provincie Luxemburg".

Luxembourg itself (the country) does have districts, but this is the Belgian province, not a district of the country of Luxembourg.

I think Switzerland has the same kind of problem but with German being used for most names.
Native English speaker here. The sentence was definitely missing a word. I read it multiple times before I got it too. Your rewrite was easier to understand.
Netflix streaming looks worst on my 150" screen. Some shows are watchables but some are simply junk bitrate wise to the point I get huge posterisation effects/pixels. The quality of the content itself is another issue.
For movies I just get the disk and store it forever with r.volution NAS(aka old zappiti NAS)
It uses Java and C. Strictly speaking there's no reason you have to use either language, you can also use the design in the language of your choice (assuming sufficiently matching semantics, like C# or Kotlin instead of Java for Part 1, or a willingness to put in more legwork if you go further afield).
This entire article is just an advertisement for an online course they are offering. Junk content, writing; it reads like something out of the NY Post.
pay apple again to be able to manage your own files, lol..
Netflix spends a lot more on per developer, and has been working on the UI for longer: See, for instance, how a big percentage of manpower at Disney has been spent going from two completely different UIs between D+ and Hulu into a single one, so every feature didn't have to be made multiple times. Those kind of projects, with a quantity-over-quality approach to hiring, tend to take forever.

Netflix also has an advantage in cost management, also due to better engineers that are also better paid, and have been managing their system for far longer. The AWS bill for D+ is not the kind you get when you have good chances to be profitable. I bet a lot of engineering in the next year or two will be used just more efficient use of compute and storage. I bet many teams there are spending far more on servers than on people.

And if D+ could be doing better, and is still unprofitable, imagine the situation in other competitors that are even newer. The total cost of the infrastructure, without even counting the licensing or the marketing, might cost the more than people are paying.

Agreed, and VRAM (GDDR6 at least) is _not_ that expensive. The going rate for an 8 Gbit chip is around $3 [0][1], so around $150 in raw chips for 48 GB.

Unfortunately I suspect VRAM capacities in consumer cards will continue to be limited in order to differentiate enterprise products.

Public financial and in-kind support for nuclear power is transferring wealth from taxpayers to large corporations. Nuclear might be worth it to reduce climate change (a discussion for a different subthread) but let's be careful of corporate welfare.

At least, find a way for that wealth transfer to reach the public, not the shareholders.
Is it though? I mean, I do remember the same, but I just booted into Win 11 after buying a GPD Win and it looks nice. Microsoft seems to have resigned itself to the fact that as a developer you should use WSL2.

If you do any kind of docker related development you will inevitably install something similar to WSL2 using docker desktop or whatever. Technically it now supports native containers, but we're not there yet.
I got the Amazon email yesterday and called them. No way to get a prorated refund so I turned off auto renew on Prime. I had a nice conversation with the lady and said the only thing that would prevent the lapse of Prime would be no ads for the base price.

If people cancel in droves they reconsider their position.
I see the issue in fixing the errors automatically in that "fixing the error" is another aspect of "changing the behavior of the program" (even on the syntactic level: how would you fix a line "x = (2+3-4*5;"?), and we likely don’t want random changes to this behavior to happen. The article says that for self-healing of code to work, you need to have a full specification of what it should do, e.g. in the form of test cases that check for every scenario. But if you cover every possible scenario in your test cases, then how can a program have an error to fix to begin with?

If such tests have been written, then writing a program satisfying all of them is definitely a solvable problem. But now the entire complexity of writing good code turns into complexity of writing good tests.
They “experienced several one-time delays including redesign and reworks from the first application of 10CFR52 design certification process and insufficient engineering before start of the construction” [1]. If you’re building N of a kind, the N = 1 costs are almost always higher. We know these are possible with AP1000s because we can see the same cost curve in China, albeit shifted down due to lower labour costs.

Nope it does not. Koreans are one of the most closed societies on earth. They are not necessarily racist or anything like that but everything in korean culture is centered around relationships that you built in army, school, work or other activities. Even if you speak korean very well you will never be part of that culture.
Depends on where you live.

You would not be able to buy a house, support a family, have some hobbies, with a 66k/year salary in most of the major cities of the world nowadays.

(You could buy a house with a 30 year mortgage sure, but does not exactly scream rich.)

Is it?

As a digital nomad (well... a potential one) these visas are great, but they don't let me do anything I couldn't do on a tourist visa. Of course it's a lot more advantageous if you're not a privileged national.

But what's in it for the Korean people? They get a small number of relatively wealthy visitors who use housing and infrastructure but don't pay taxes. They likely spend less than other tourists, and use more resources.

In Germany, the freelance visa requires "local economic interest", which translates to having German clients or a reason to work from Germany. Digital nomad visas seem to want the opposite.
Similar setup here since about 2015. 5K iMac in the center and a thunderbolt display on either side (2560x1440). IDE, terminals, and/or primary task in the center, application output on the left side, documentation/browsers/e-mail/calendar on the right.

My only complaint is one of the thunderbolt displays is getting flaky. It likes to briefly turn itself off and on again, and unfortunately Apple's braindead software flashes all three monitors on and off when this happens. I've tried replacing the display's power supply, main board, and thunderbolt cable with no luck. Other than that, the setup has been rock solid and being surrounded by monitors makes me feel like I'm running The Matrix.
Since meat is expensive, maybe it is more about 'stretching' a dish. If you can only afford one cut of meat, but need to feed four, the tofu is used to get more protein in cheaply.

That has always been my impression.
> their world consists solely of software they have been allowed to install by their platform overlords

The same will be true of most cars within a generation, and is effectively true for most car owners now; they do not really know how to do much with their car beyond drive it, use the infotainment as-is and bring it in for repair when anything seems off.
And a great deal of what's sent by ship is... fossil fuels!
I understand. But as a long-time programmer I like to explore new programming languages or APIs by working on a small project. I start with a first prototype to get the feel of the language, before I look into extended documentation.
Chat GPT helps with this use-case.

It's also more fun to have something which can be easily extended than to start from scratch.
The Apple M3 chips are expensive, not so great at gaming, and have significantly slower memory bandwidth than Nvidia chips. (A 3080 has 912 GB/s vs M3's Max being 400 GB/s with most M3 models being much slower).

There are significant compromises in Apple's offerings.
> Games are already optimized.

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on this one. At least, it doesn't line up with my experience. In my experience, games are optimized _just enough_ for a decent playing experience (and not always then). Games devs, as a whole, are the worst offenders of expecting their users to just throw more money (hardware) at the software to achieve usable/enjoyable experiences. There are, of course, exceptions. But, for every Carmack, there's 10s of thousands of developers scrambling to make their deadline, doing just enough to ship.
>expense of society,

I personally find bread lines and black markets to buy basic necessities to be bad for society.

edit: By increasing prices you get capital with which to increase production to make even more money at closer to the original price point (due to selling more units). This in turns means that everyone can get a widget and not just a few people (lucky or well connected). It also means the money goes to the person able to increase production or make better widgets versus a pure scalper who resells the item (legally or on the black market).

I'll go a little further on why i think it's not a backdoor.

If you look at the debug info in the Kernel dev kits, you can see the internal SDK (which has existed forever - i had access to it 2 decades ago when i was working on compilers at IBM, for apple) has chip/register info in it:

DW_AT_decl_file 0x00000014 /AppleInternal/Library/BuildRoots/8a51e4ad-7e8b-11ee-8cd8-2a65a1af8551/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX14.2.Internal.sdk/usr/local/include/EmbeddedHeaders/soc/module/dart_v14.h

DW_AT_decl_file 0x00000017 /AppleInternal/Library/BuildRoots/8a51e4ad-7e8b-11ee-8cd8-2a65a1af8551/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX14.2.Internal.sdk/usr/local/include/EmbeddedHeaders/soc/module/p_acc0_v5.h

Just some examples.
The first one is a header file containing the register names/structures/flags etc for the DART.
The second is for recent p-cores.
etc

Depending on what the kernel uses, sometimes they accidentally leak most of the data (more than once).

So for example, the current XNU debug info leaks the register bits/structure of the hid18 register (a p-core register):

https://gist.github.com/dberlin/ec277fc61c33419e658a17f743e1...

(I put this in a GIST because i am too lazy to try to get the formatting right in-comment)

So you can see the bits of HID18 and what they mean, just from the debug info.

Now, current XNU dumps contain info on 2-3 registers like this out of the thousand+.

But, the header files contain all the data, presumably, on CPU, GPU, DART, etc.

They have also leaked much more before.

Regardless, it is much more likely to me that someone got a recent internal SDK (which again, was at least shared with partners at various points in time), went looking through the header files, and then started testing things out, than it is to me that they engineered a backdoor from scratch into the GPU.
