Incompetence is going on in this city.

The police here only know three things - no knock raid with automatic weapons, not pulling over reckless drivers, and shooting unarmed black men. That is all they do.
Solution I mentioned above:

Can you put the stuff you need to share in a Virtual Machine? This, for me, has already solved pretty much everything this software offers.
It's supply that's down - Nvidia is strictly enforcing their artificial segmentation where the jump from 24GB to 40GB of VRAM multiplies the price by around 5 (!).

They know that if you need a 40GB card, you probably can't use a 24GB card at all because it'd run out of VRAM. They charge such insane prices for those higher capacity cards, because they know that they can make you pay thousands upon thousands for every tiny scrap of extra VRAM, and you will have literally no choice but to pay that price because you need the VRAM.

Demand isn't low, demand is actually so high that they don't care if lowly consumers want VRAM, they already have enterprise customers that need it so badly that they'll pay prices higher than most consumers would ever imagine.

And that's why they're so stingy with VRAM on the consumer cards. They need to be careful not to accidentally make them useful in the datacenter, so they can ensure that their enterprise customers continue to be forced to pay those extortionary prices.

You see, it's all about the money, and it always will be. Capitalism, baby!

O_DiRECT is insufficient because you have no way to coordinate with the kernel to drop io buffers when there’s memory pressure
I agree here too. Grad studies was a new lesson altogether -- not just how to study but how to teach yourself whole topics it would now be assumed you know :)
Indeed. I'd consider the current rendition of Try a magic conversion operator, not so different from IntoInterator (which powers Rust's for each loop sugar) for example, or the IntoFuture mechanism which drives async/await sugar or Display (which turns things into strings).

A user defined function turns your type T into a possibly different type S which has some specific property and then an agreed thing happens to the S, using that property. In some cases your implementation is a no-op, you already did have the desired property, in other cases you must do a lot of work to make it happen.
I don't know what to tell you. I don't have time to get to the bottom of it, this is just what I'm told by my supplier.
Define "average code commit." If you knew the average commit size you could probably come up with some ballpark number of electrons consumed and CO2 released. Now I have one more thing to cause anxiety and lose sleep over, as if plastic straws weren't bad enough.

Once we have solar everywhere (thanks Elon!), nuclear fusion, and can harness entire stars to power blockchains and LLMs we won't care about this. It's not far off now.

Hey - Thank you for the detailed insights! I appreciate all the info. For some context, I am writing bare-metal in Rust. I've been using MavLINK for some basic stuff that is self-contained; trying to use a MAVLink Gimbal this weekend. The naive approach didn't work, but we'll see. I will hint that DroneoCAN: #1: Uses bit-alignment. Even if that means throwing off the alignment on an 80 byte message to save 3 bits. #2: Uses something similar and as poorly-document as the CRC_EXTRA byte based on message format. #3: Uses inscrutable ID assignment and Get/Set APIs. I have posted on various Githubs and discords, and the verdict is I'm the only out of touch. Ok. Fine. I will and have complied with the standards, but I am not obliged to like them, and I think they have severe engineering problems. Thank you for your insight on MavLINK. I am tolerating it for now for gimbal operations, but see the writing on the wall for the custom messages I'm using it for. Like, I need 1 byte for payload size, 1 byte for message type, maybe 1-2 for CRC... the rest of the header is a liability for OTA transmission time.

I propose we don't even talk about MSP; Holy fuck.
Yeah I’m aware work is kind of being done in the space. Not pretending it’s my idea. Just a more formal official API would be supremely interesting and not just for databases - there’s lots of user space caches that should be migrated to that if they’re recomputable.

Relatedly there’s an effort going on in the filesystem space for a long time to add transaction support which would also be useful. Some day.
By “body of work,” I reference the wiki piece. Basically, it’s easy to indoctrinate people into this cult of Marx. The way you do that is to foment hatred toward a theoretical enemy and make your cult feel really superior about themselves. You must have a priesthood. The supposed academic theory behind this represents the inner school of the priesthood. It’s not always clear if they’re “in on the joke” or merely indoctrinated, but it is safe to say anyone doing anything other than theft and usurpation based on Marx is not inside the circle.
That’s a lot of typos in a short article.

Show HN: Gemini vs. ChatGPT: A side-by-side showdown
Okay, I've been putting Gemini through its paces against GPT-4, and honestly, I'm not seeing it live up to all the hype. Don't get me wrong, it has potential, but there are areas where it just falls short. I built a tool called ClashOfGPTs.com to see for myself.

Some observations:

- Coding Skills: Gemini Ultra writes complex code, but can be error-prone. GPT-4 is less ambitious, but makes fewer mistakes.

- Creativity: Gemini Ultra excels in creative writing and storytelling.

- Reasoning: Gemini Ultra and GPT-4 have similar capabilities, with no clear winner.
- Speed: Gemini Ultra provides significa
ntly faster responses.
I opted for understanding as well. And my grades as an undergraduate suffered because of it. Understanding takes concerted effort over time and traditional pedagogy, especially real-time lectures, are poor at conveying understanding.

I wish I had had YouTube back in the day, or at least video recordings of lectures that one could pause and rewind to portions that weren’t understand on the first pass.
The original paper literally shows the effect of cross tlb shootdowns. I don’t recall LMDB specifically so maybe their performance floor was just naturally much higher anyway. I’ve also seen the impact of cross tlb flushes and synthetic benchmarks are the wrong mechanism because of all the secondary effects. It really is a kind of global mutex for memory operations on the machine where a memory allocation in an entirely different process can take longer as a result. The real world results showing it were inconsistent and impossible to reproduce in synthetic benchmarks and took a lot of smart people a long time to narrow down the cause when I saw this (not a DB application but it was cross tlb shootdowns slowing down the machine).
I shouldn't be responding to flamebait but alas.

No, they are not just as bad. The scenario you describe is obviously broken, but the entire system can be inspected and easily debugged. With a flick of the wrist you can at your leisure summon a graph of the entire known universe. If you only have LAN then, typically, your host is physically accessible so this should be easy to debug.

Nothing about the scenario you describe is inherently worse because of systemd. The same scenario with sysvinit is literally a nightmare. This is literally and practically infinitely less of a head scratcher with systemd than anything else in existence.

I'm not sure how anyone can defend sysvinit -- you're certainly not even trying -- but shitting on systemd because you had a bad time is about the least productive way to participate here. It's no one's fault but your own if you don't understand your tools or the ramifications of letting yourself use them in ignorance.

Besides, at least at the time of this comment, your username is the one that is literally green.
Germany getting rid of nuclear power will not make Germany any safer at all. Cattenom and Fessenheim to name just two examples are French power plants within viewing distance of the German border. The latter even having a German name due to history.
My employer already refuses to reimburse for snorkeling and diving because of increased risk of shark attack. And I can't get repaid for golfing because of the risk of getting hit by lightning. So this makes sense, although I will have to cut back on business travel because if I can't fly Boeing aircraft in the US I can't fly at all. Probably safer to get a Cybertruck and drive.

People need to wake up to the very real risks of commercial flying. 2023 was another record year for commercial aircraft fatalities.

> Not trying to victim blame

This is the definition of victim blaming. You're implying that they somehow deserve the outcome.
>Your other reply was deleted - I wonder what horrible things it said?

Looks like you aren't leaving even though you said you would. I wrote that I wasn't going to read your shit. I changed my mind. So I deleted it.

>Eh. Is it a war if only one side thinks so and is fighting, and the other is amused?

Whether the other side is amused or not is irrelevant. What is clear is that other side is deliberating acting amused. Right? What you write here is not a reflection of your actual feelings or thoughts, it's just what you intend to express as your feelings or thoughts. Whether that's real or not is irrelevant.

So what's the intent of acting amused? Of course it's to start a war. It's malicious. If you were amused but not malicious you wouldn't act amused because everybody knows the consequence of acting amused in front of an angry or emotionally distressed person.

It's a common strategy when someone wants to trigger a more emotional person. Just constantly act amused. Such actions are usually artificial in nature because a person in distress does not normally trigger amusement unless the other person is a psychopath. Do you truly get amused by pissing other people off? Whatever. Whether you are amused or not is, again, irrelevant. It's your intent of displaying you are amused that is the tell here.

What you're doing is more of a dominance game. You play it well, but unfortunately this isn't the place to play that kind of game. It's not the place to act malicious.

>Nah. All I did was tell you you're wrong and call you out for it, and then you got all defensive and uppity after claiming you provided a source and continued to, and still continue to falsely claim you are correct. Why? Because ego. Nothing to do with me being 'malicious'.

You don't call people out by calling what they say a myth. And then leaving it at that. It's quite rude and It's also against the rules to do that here. But in addition to that your claim is flat out wrong, your evidence irrelevant and weak as well and you didn't make any effort to prove otherwise. You completely skipped over that part and are attempting to address the part of the reply in which you have a chance to "win" in your dominance game. That is pretty much clear now. I offered a scientific paper and you have offered nothing else beyond that. Clearly it's because you have nothing else beyond that.

If you truly thought you were right you wouldn't be using malice as a strategy here. You would be using facts, evidence and logic. You would be sticking to the topic because that would've been an avenue for you to win the "game." Unfortunately it's not a way to win and you're actually the only person playing that game.

>After this reply I sure am :)

Good. Walk away now. Do not respond. Stay true to your own words and Thank you for doing so.
I personally agree - mileage definitely varies with people. Prefer markup languages over code for describing user-interfaces any day. Find myself quite comfortable with XAML and struggle with SwiftUI.
That’s horrible. Good luck, I hope this gets resolved some how.
100% this. In order to become a company leader in Germany you have to do things in a conservative way how 'it's always been done'. Be male, older and have a Ph.D. Just look at an average board of directors and you'll see 90% PhDs. No, they aren't any more intelligent or better educated nor trained. They just sucked up for more and more years to a professor at uni to get their PhD in something business.
Doesn't help at all in actually RUNNING a business, but that's just how it's been done to get ahead.
> there is no place like CA.

The US is a beautiful place. I would not be so bolt as to make such a categorical statement.

Economically, in terms of business climate, affordability and more, CA is a dumpster fire. To the point that people at the new $15 to $20 per hour minimum wage that was supposed to solve so many problems actually have lower spending power than when they were earning at a lower rate. That should not be surprising when we pay 3x to 5x for auto licenses, 3x to 10x for auto insurance, 3x to 10x for homeowners insurance, 2x or more for gasoline, more in taxes across the board, from sales to income taxes and a bunch of little taxes on everything that just kills your money. Etc.

The only way CA improves is if there's a major ideological shift that permeates the state. I cannot see that happening for decades. I think it has to sink to a very painful bottom before people actually understand. CA needs to get the "Argentina experience" before voters will understand just how dumb it is to continue to support the charlatans and crooks who have been running this state.

The CA high speed rail was supposed to cost us $10 billion. We are well --way-- past $100 billion and nowhere completion. It will probably take this project another 25 years (if we are lucky), it might cost $500 billion and, if it ever really comes online, the cost per rider will be such that we could have sent everyone to the moon for less. Stupid voters. Ideologically broken crooks for politicians. Not a good combination. Time will tell.

As for affordable housing. Good luck. The very idea in CA violates the laws of physics. Unless there's a serious regime change this particular issue will not improve at all. Not at scale.
I blame a lot of it on the mass adoption of stock-based investment and retirement plans.

With defined-benefit pensions and even traditional bond-based investments, the narrative is "The company has an obligation to me for very specific deliverables, even if that means reduced investor return." There's an appropriately adversarial relationship there, which keeps everyone behaving better.

With stock investments, people conclude "my personal success- even survival- is inextricably linked with how good the company looks to Wall Street." This incentivizes sycophantism.

Shouldn't we go after the people actually committing the crime? Swatting does not occur because of corporations. It occurs because a few people abuse the emergency response system. The fix is to punish people who abuse the system. Preferably with long jail sentences.
there's no way it actually costs them that much right?
"In April 2023, he was swatted four times in one day. The fourth time the MPD sent six officers with assault rifles to his home at 9pm." - okay at some point the MPD shares some of the blame for letting themselves get used like this.

> saying that people might answer based on whether they think they would expect to be hassled for doing those things?

Yes.

And for the ISS or tank in the park, the question is whether this would cause a brouhaha over the issue by people with nothing better to do with their time.

Whether or not you're going to be hassled or have to deal with a public hassle is a personally more interesting question than what would you enforce in the situation. Even if you're a police officer.

Do you’ll not run your heat at night when it’s the coldest?
Maybe look away from the emerging domains and see what's available in the more routine companies, the ones not hemorrhaging money on AI hype and the bleeding edge fads. Health care, logistics, retail, manufacturing, banking, insurance etc. include many companies with job openings that come with a paycheck and some insulation from the coronal ejections of the tech world. Java and Python already heavily deployed in the more boring sectors of the economy.
No it wasn’t hard to parse. What it was was hard to fathom that someone really thinks remote work is a general solution to high housing costs. Therefore I explicitly pointed out common occupations to remind us all about the larger picture.

Well paying IT or white collar jobs that can be done anywhere are in the minority, and further the people that do hold those high paying jobs are frequently the very same people bidding up the price of existing homes in high opportunity cities, and pushing poorer people out in the process.
The line I always heard about that was that just by taking notes you'll remember and process more of the content, even if you don't review them later. I think for some content this was true for me, but it definitely wasn't universal.
Did it flood in 1992?
It's not immediate, but my crude understanding was the heaters they use are positioned so the outer edges of the home heat up first. That way the bed bugs can't escape - they'd have to know to go towards the heat first.

Also don't forget it just takes time to heat up a home that much.

No it’s not. Perhaps you have confused the Post Office with Royal Mail.

> The royals don't keep going because their subjects think they're fallible.

The hysteria about Diana suggests otherwise.

This is also quite irrelevant. Attitudes to arms-length public bodies are not in fact parasitic on attitudes to the royal family.

On this logic, HM Treasury would be regarded as infallible. It isn’t. Britain has fiscal debates like everywhere else.
>so out of sheer luck

this sounds more like survivorship bias no? You can keep playing lucky if you want, but that's more on being lucky. I like to keep risk low and so the objective is reducing the need to be "lucky", to get more consistent results without luck and this is where having those economic fundamentals work. Economics is more than stock-picking, that's more of a finance thing imo.
It’s a classic “boy who cried wolf” situation, because they’d be in a world of hurt if they didn’t respond to a legitimate call- but I have to agree, if the person has no prior criminal record what are you doing bringing the SWAT team out? These are citizens not subjects.

How do you guys share google photos albums with the world (apart from sharing album links)? I have a bunch of my travel trips stored in multiple shared albums. I am trying to create a blog like page to show my public albums - checked out flickr but it wasn't to my liking.

I decided to build my own tool to create a public web page having my shared albums. You can check out https://www.culshare.com/

While publishing the album to your public page, you'd need to submit the sharedlink from the google photos album.
With this, basically you can publish a few select albums onto your public page. Anyone can access the link to this public page. Those interested can view the album on google photos itself.

Do check it out. Looking for feedback !

I think it depends on what you mean by “last,” a star might “last” even longer than 5×10^12 years before the last component nucleons of its remnant evaporate. If you consider how long a star lasts to be how long it emits around the same amount of energy until becoming another class of object the time will be shorter.

Sol will grow large and red in another 4×10^9 years or so, then after that phase it’ll leave a stellar remnant like a brown dwarf or neutron star, which will last another period of time. How long did Sol last?

What violence? I read the report, it was claimed that he made threatening speech, he agreed but countered that it was directed at one person. He apologised.

He was released after paying a bond for disorderly conduct .. thirteen years ago.
