The 7900X3D is by far the worst value AMD currently offers. It only 6 cores per CCX, but two of them, so not only do you get the scheduling issues of the 7950X3D where sometimes games don't use the X3D CCX, you also only get 6 cores if it works. And you get a "7600X3D" (not a real thing) if you disable the other CCX, something 7950X3D owners would sometimes do to benchmark the scheduling difference to get what's essentially a 7800X3D.

Those websites are long gone. First, because search engines defaulted to promoting 'recent content' on HTTPS websites, which eliminates a lot of informational sites that were not SSL-secured and archived on university web servers for example.

Second, because the time and effort required to compile this information today feels wasted because it can be essentially copied wholesale and reproduced on a content-hungry blogspam website, often without attribution to the original author.

In its place are cynical Substacks, Twitters or Tiktoks doing growth marketing ahead of an inevitable book deal or online course sales pitch.

> Its hard to be friends with little black boxes and white text on a screen.

I think after a point, it is up to us to create the culture we want to see in a team. Someone has to start sharing more things, start talking about more things so others will feel like the same. Have a pizza session after every few successful sprints. Share puzzles and other things regularly so people have more things to talk about. It is easy to feel detached when everyone only uses a group channel, but a lot of meaningful connections happen when you do talk 1-1 in private.

I mean I have worked at places where no one even exchanged email ids when they are about to leave the company, and lurked in online places where people whom I have never even met employed me immediately when i mentioned that my day job company was going bankrupt.
It’s not exactly related to the parent, but in many parts of Europe, yeah, you can’t just fire someone after the probation period, and the firing needs to be for cause (which is genuinely a high bar to cross).

To the point of the parent, in a lot of Europe it’s not so simple to just lay off some small portion of the company. It needs to be justified and a decent percentage, and employees are often entitled to some compensation (some severance) to offset the layoff.
> The mission of encouraging social activism conflicts with that.

It does not. The entire essay depends on this assertion but it is never defended.

> The social activist implicitly says, “I know enough already. Let me fix society.”

A less hostile way of presenting this impulse is to frame it as "my understanding has grown, let me apply it."

A sense of and desire for justice emerges from learning about the world, and attempting to make changes with that is also a form of learning. Compromise and failure are teachers as well. The author does nothing to demonstrate that this separation of domains of "learning (concrete, real, valuable)" and "activism (social, self-righteous, frivolous)" is real or useful, he merely assumes we will agree with him on this.

Teachers are not simply a delivery mechanism for information and technique. They are mentors, critics, colleagues, and role models as well. I don't know anything about this author, but I don't have a lot of respect for such a rigidly conservative (in the non-political sense) view of learning that would diminish their role so much.

So don’t play a part in it. Is doing it more or less crushing than being sacked?
I'm not sure if I relate to the sentiment - in my experience, everything nowadays asks with mailing list ads. Every website from high-quality blogs to "Top 10 Best Coffee Makers in Winter 2024" referral link mills asks for your email. Worst thing is, many of them are already moving onto the "next big thing", which are registration gates. I feel like a huge portion of all Medium-hosted posts are already unreachable to guests because of that.

As long as it continues to be more profitable to go big when they break the law that's what facebook will do. Same as any other company. No need for facebook to even try to hide it because the fines/slaps on the wrist just don't matter. Try locking up CEOs or shareholders and watch how quickly they start following the law.
Change is often painful. But if the thought is that these AI models will just be forgotten about because of a few court decisions then I'd imagine they are in for a rude awakening. It's time to adapt, not dig your heels in.

I think htmx is using the Rule of least power which "suggests choosing the least powerful [computer] language suitable for a given purpose"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_least_power
I think this is a bit of reductionist interpretation of what I'm saying. Yes, it's technically correct that the attributes on a form change the type request made. That's not really what I'm talking about, though. In the same way that I wouldn't want to manually type a lot of CSS into a style attribute, I wouldn't want to write a small program in an hx-trigger attribute. Something like hx-trigger="input changed delay:500ms, search" is getting rather complicated, imo, and it's a new DSL with new semantics to understand. And then the recommended escape hatch is... yet another new language? I dunno I just feel like there's something missing here.
I think that the issue is continuous raises. Instead the raises should slowly decrease but also the expectation of time commitment should decrease. It should be expected that someone with 10yrs experience at the firm only spent 10 or 15 hours per week working. They are exponentially more efficient. If it's then not expected that the company pay more, then the tenured employee isn't seen as a drain on resources. Hell they could even get payed less. It think it is fair because it allows people to seek out more work to fill their time.

Lots of social and casual-entertainment companies hired a ton for the pandemic "nobody goes outside" surge too. Some of this (and the last year or two) is simply shedding unsustainable increases as everyone gets a better idea of what changes have actually occurred and will stick around.

Whether that's a 5% increase or a 500% increase in amount-laid-off though, no idea. And I do worry that the increased media attention will simply make these easier to pull off unjustly, as people get more and more used to seeing it happen.
Google did not do layoffs like the one last year really ever before last year.
House plant for me. Carnivorous.
The delay between the physical keystroke and rendered text insertion + search filtering is uncomfortably high. Compared to FZF's instantaneous rendering of the same this is a UX downgrade.
I'm used to claws-mail, so I'm using it daily. But I think it's quite terrible -- there are regular delays every minute for a couple of seconds and in that period, most buttons on the UI are disabled. I think that whenever it does something with IMAP most of the functionality is locked. Also I think it doesn't implement IMAP push and it has to poll for new mail every minute.

Also opening a mail that's 30 MiB in size (pictures) and has to be downloaded just freezes the entire UI.

I'd like to advise people to use other software, but I don't know of any perfect email clients:

* sylpheed/claws-mail has this locked UI problem

* mutt doesn't render images and has a steep learning curve

* thunderbird has software bloat, doesn't work on my low end hardware

And other recommendations?

Webmail is also mostly broken. I liked prayer, but it also doesn't render images IIRC and roundcube dropped the classic theme on new versions, and the new theme has less information density.

I like the classic HTML UI of GMail and OWA, though.
One thing to consider is that if that's profitable to do at house scale, then it's probably even more profitable to do at grid scale and you'll likely be out-competed by utility companies.

Edit: Unless you're taking advantage of tax incentives to do it at house scale. Its hard to beat the economics of just being handed free money.
Jonathan Blow has a great talk on long projects (The Witness was like 8 years in development?) here which I watch once in a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0m0jIzJfiQ

- He takes a week long vacation every now and then to hack on a completely different game idea for fun, with the focus on it being short and fun

- Time for relaxation and unstructured thinking

- Walks / showers can produce amazing ideas
The other reply was correct. I'm not talking about all cheese in America, I'm talking specifically about the fact that Kraft slices are ostensibly "American cheese", but in reality are not legally "cheese".

Its probably in the hundreds of thousands range according to newer studies. Think practically about whether you can do different things with 10mil than 100mil and whether those things are likely to make you happy.
I'm not criticising that. I'm saying if you have a copy of the version you bought (or pirated!) then you aren't locked out of your content back in the day.
This also presumes that an engineering-driven Boeing would have even built the 737 MAX in the first place. In all likelihood, they would have stayed the course in building a new middle-market, narrow body aircraft rather than continuing to retrofit the aging 737 airframe.

That's the real counterfactual here. Would Boeing have iterated yet again on the 737, or would they have done a clean sheet design instead?
That is perhaps stretching of what is usually meant by a productive assets (you can make the same argument for a piece of art, for example, or really anything). Typically, the asset itself is productive, not that it can be used in a productive activity (e.g., gold as an non-productive asset even though you can lend it out).
Remembering Aaron Swartz (November 8, 1986 – January 11, 2013), an internet freedom activist who believed knowledge should be free and not behind a pay wall. He helped build RSS spec, Creative Commons and reddit to name a few.

Show HN: Bend 2.0 API for transaction enrichment/CO2e estimates
Heyy HN. We’re celebrating 2 years of Bend’s existence as a company and we’ve launched a new API to help you understand the climate impact of business activity, and/or embed climate data in your application.

For most companies, 80% of your emissions are from the goods and services that you buy. Unless you’re running a power plant or an airline, odds are you’re not directly combusting lots of fossil fuels. But literally everything we buy has some upstream climate impact, whether it’s the flights and Ubers that we purchase, or our AWS bills (that run on grids powered by natural gas), all the way through to the computer / phone that you’re reading this on, in an office that is heated and cooled with some amount of coal, etc. And according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, all these indirect emissions count towards your company’s inventory (‘scope 3’ emissions).

The problem is that figuring out how to estimate the emissions from all the thousands of things a company purchases is a hard data science problem. The best methodology may be different for any given item, and the relevant data is scattered all over the place.

We’ve unified it under our v2 API. Here’s how it works:
Transactions: For any financial transaction, we match the transaction vendor across our database of tens-of-thousands of vendors and return an emissions estimate based on the specific company’s climate profile, as well as any public decarbonization commitments or targets they’ve set. (There’s a big difference between $100 spent at Chevron vs $100 spent at Apple, for instance)
Buildings: For your office (if you still have an office!) we use data gathered by the government and specific grid-intensity info, along with your square footage, to estimate the climate impact there.
Flights: For flight route information we’ve wrapped a calculator created by the International Air Transport Association in a simple API.

With the SEC set to announce new climate disclosure requirements in April, and more large companies requiring their vendors to report Greenhouse Gas inventories, Bend is on a mission to make it easy for any company to understand their climate impact.

We hope you find it useful — we’d love your feedback! The Estimate APIs are 100% free and always will be; the Enrichment API is a paid service but includes a generous free tier of 100 API calls / month. And of course, our dream is that you’ll be inspired to plug this data into your stack, surfacing sustainability insights to your customers.

You can get a trial key at https://bend.green/trial-key

Thanks!

It's not so much that HTMX itself would be included, as much as its philosophy of improved HTML.
While this passage is inspiring, it boils down to:

1. Get good at something
2. Get paid for doing it
3. Get burned out by doing it
4. Return to the fun way of doing it
5. ???
6. Win a Nobel prize or similar

How repeatable is that pattern? Is that one of the patterns we want to teach the next generation? Serious question. I don't know the answer. Feynman is obviously rather exceptional. Should we encourage people to follow a path like his?
Does this reduce your energy usage though? You're still using the same amount of power during the day. So it saves you money, and takes some load off the grid during peak usage. What does that do to reduce emissions from power generation? Without solar, you're still charging off the same infrastructure.
AMD's support is terrible, if you believe their documentation. ROCm/hip works just fine (well, with Torch - Tensorflow is shamelessly an NVIDIA shill) on many "unsupported" GPUs if you enable an override envar.
They're merely the first desktop processors from AMD with these NPUs. This is last year's laptop silicon repackaged for their desktop socket. They also re-branded the laptop version with new model numbers, because laptop OEMs basically demand new model numbers on an annual cadence. This year their marketing for these chips is heavily emphasizing the NPUs, because they actually have some tooling for them now, but they were basically dead weight when the silicon first shipped.
There's already a known way to combat these sorts of things... they're called unions. Tech jobs will be a lot more stable and bearable when more people understand that, and that we aren't all embarrassed millionaires.
Yep, and these rankings are less about performance and more about politics. You actually have a very high chance of getting an organization made out of talkers and not-doers.
Would love to write a Bash function that selects a random quote from a DB of all of them and prints it out (for use when opening a new terminal, for example)

The press release has a strange title for new chips targeted at lower-end PCs (those without a dedicated GPU).
I'm confused. If you were trying to recreate the method you'd read about, then I'm not sure you can say it failed when you left out the crucial element - dedicating time to reading the document together during the meeting.

The whole point of the method is to address the premise that you cannot rely on people to read documents in advance.
> Especially one that has a history of discontinuing products.

Let's just hope this isn't step 1 for their plan to do exactly that.
Interesting, how many of the 100s of newspapers in the EU that are doing exactly the same thing as Facebook has he dragged into court for doing it? They've been doing it for a lot longer. I do see some cases against Conde Nast, but that's not for this behavior.

I do think it's good though when somebody will go and try to take the most extreme position of some law so that the lawmakers will maybe realize that they got it wrong.
As others mentioned, reading everything is just not possible.

The way I would do it:

1. Use the random wikipedia article button [0]

2. Read the articles and keep track which ones you've read

3. If you find an article/topic interesting stop there and go to the referenced articles in that article and basically go down a rabbit hole

4. If you had enough of that topic, go back to 1.

You're not one of the little guys. You're not the one who's going to be left holding the bag. The real "bag" isn't underperforming investments. It's ecosystem collapse.
Show HN: Custom Merge Checks in Bitbucket Cloud, Using Forge
Shameless plug for the functionality my team shipped to beta just before Christmas.

For context, Forge is Atlassian's product extensibility framework that lets you write your own plugins (for lack of a better word) for our cloud SaaS products: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/

Coming up in a few weeks from another of my teams will be a feature we call "Dynamic Pipelines" which will let you use a similar Forge lambda function to mutate/generate Bitbucket Pipelines workflows at runtime.

1) That ain't even bad
2) There are better ways to integrate solar into communities
You see this through a very American lens. I think you are trying to paint my statement as "anti union", it is not intended as such. What you describe is much better solved with government legislation and trade bodies. There is a reason union membership in some Northern Europe has dwindled from over 80% to less than 5%, they have simply outlived their usefulness.

Unions have the wrong incentives. They represent employees and have no incentive to think about future employees, employers, customers or anyone else. There are simply better ways to organise society.
Thus the rapidly expanding introduction of storage, which can take advantage of those periods.
Yeah uh I was forever hoping for Feynmann to appear. Suddenly, a man playing bongos! Finally, here he comes, I thought... but no. No Feynmann. What a disappointment.
Lockfiles and version pinning are bandaid solutions to be applied in the absence of resources for supporting new versions of libraries, especially given that, unless you maintain your own internal package repositories, you're then dependent on those ancient versions remaining available through your usual channels for the unforeseeable future. On my team, we stick to pulling the latest versions of dependencies, but we run our CI/CD pipeline on every commit and hold onto the logs from the last few successful builds. When it's clear that a dependency upgrade has caused a failure, we check to see if we can afford the work we'd need to do to accommodate the new version, and only if it's nontrivial do we resort to pinning the dependency (but it's usually trivial). Even then, the intention is that this is a temporary workaround until we have the time and people required to make the change.

Using lockfiles and version pinning by default opens you up to all sorts of issues. Breaking changes accumulate, and you'll fall further and further behind, increasing the development effort required to get up to date. If you ever want to use some hot, new library that just dropped with a must-have feature for your project, you're highly likely to run into a conflict that will force you to make all those changes you've been procrastinating. Of course, you'll also find yourself stuck with whatever security vulnerabilities exist in your pinned version of the dependency, to be discovered and exploited at some future date. This is a complete nonstarter in my field of work.
If you do delve into the beguiling world of options, so full of snares and pitfalls, at some point take the time to learn how option market making works behind the scenes. This will help provide a more seasoned understanding of why the price action of of stocks in advance of LEAP expiration (the 3rd Friday in January each year) exhibits apparently irrational behavior (often major drops, like AAPL recently) and can prove invaluable, e.g. in understanding why holding through expiration is normally foolish.

Additionally, a comprehension of the role of volatility in option pricing (part of the Black-Scholes formula) is crucial, often decisive. Enjoy the journey.
> A part of me thinks think we're further away today then we were 10 years ago.

I don't see how that can be true. Valve has made huge strides in pushing Linux gaming forward, and thousands of Windows-only games are playable on Linux, sometimes even with better than native performance.

The small percentage of games that have anti-cheat mechanisms or intrusive DRM (Steam notwithstanding) that are problematic on Linux are likely games that don't deserve my money or attention anyway.

Disclaimer: I do still game primarily on Windows, but mostly because I find dealing with Linux issues (whether that's related to games or otherwise) much more annoying than dealing with Windows' spyware. I can reasonably handle the latter, but nothing is more frustrating than having non-working software when I just want to unwind for a while. I think these are not unsurmountable issues and am pretty hopeful the state of Linux gaming can only improve.
I believe the were glibly referring to the fact that solar is really just remote natural fusion.
Looks like it's a response to the recent cloud services market investigation by the CMA [1].

Which highlighted "Egress fees harm competition by creating barriers to switching and multi-cloud leading to cloud service providers entrenching their position" [2].

It's also interesting that they are calling out problems with software licensing, as that is another thing the CMA is investigating in their cloud market review.
