Good to know! One of the more specific things I was wondering is that when you relinked everything if HA would forget what's what or if it would hook the devices back up to all their automations afterward.

I have some Hue bulbs which are Zigbee, but I've been considering getting out of Hue's ecosystem for controlling them.

I disagree.

To fully comply with this you would need as a library provider to fully KYC your clients so that there is a firewall between their US and non-US entities, and that travelling people don't bring out an encryption library at the same time.

It would be a operational nightmare.
Lived in Brussels my whole life, some general thoughts

- Yes the trash situation is bad. It is actually due to political infighting. As you may know Brussels has 19 communes, 19 mayors, a whole lot of pencil pushers and 4 differently colored trash bags that each have their own pickup day, so this leads to some ridiculous situations.

- There's much better bars or introductions to beer than Delirium, which is basically for tourists (as are those meters of beer on a plank). There's Moeder Lambik in 2 locations, a whole bunch of bars around Place Flagey and about another dozen at the Parvis of St Gilles.

- Public transport tends to suck unless you're lucky with the stops / lines and the rental bikes / scooters are the best way to get around. That, or walking. It's a pretty small city.

- The city is safe, just be careful around the Gare du Midi esp at night, and pick pockets exist almost everywhere. Don't lose sight of your valuables.

- Belgians are discreet and modest, almost too much. Any lack of enthusiasm and fireworks is for this reason :)

- Winter is drab around here. Humid, gray, cold.
The myth of patents is that some inventor working in their garage comes up with a genius invention, patents it, and then can leverage that patent-granted period of exclusivity into a thriving business. Hard work and smarts translating directly into rewards!

This is, of course, a myth.

It's not impossible for that to happen, theoretically, but the way the patent system actually works these days is that large companies patent anything they ever think of regardless of actual novelty, holding on to vast piles of patents as weapons of strategic deterrence. The megacorps exist in a state of patent detente -- unless someone is particularly blatant about a violation, it's better not to sue another corp because they'll just countersue with their own patent hoard. Then you'll both be stuck in years of litigation, working to get each other's patents invalidated, unsure of who is going to come out of it with a remaining claim.

When the tiny independent inventor appears, however, they don't have any of that patent-hoard protection. So it's easy for a big company in a vaguely related industry to squash them if they want to. Or wait until there's enough money being made that it's worth showing up and demanding fees. Sure, the company's patents may well be bogus and unrelated, but the tiny inventor can't afford to spend the next five years litigating that.
AMD is literally the only company on the market poised to exploit the explosion in demand for GPU compute after nVidia (sorry Intel). To not even really try to break in is insanity. nVidia didn't grow their market cap by 5x over the course of a year because people really got into 3D gaming. Even as an also ran on the coat tails of nVidia with a compatibility glue library the market is clearly demanding more product.
Good luck telling the difference between alien simple life and smart industry, even up close with a microscope.

But life on Earth has a strong tendency into aggregating into complex organisms, so we can expect that one step to happen everywhere.
You also don't actually need to own a home in order to have kids. I spent the first 8 years of my life with 3 siblings in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment in a student housing development. We bought a home when I was 8, while my parents were in their 30s.

Plenty of other commenters had already pointed out that fallacy of OP's argument, so I decided to take on the idea that homeownership rates have significantly changed instead.
The problem with effectively supporting CUDA is that encourages CUDA adoption all the more strongly. Meanwhile, AMD will always be playing catch-up, forever having to patch issues, work around Nvidia/AMD differences, and accept the performance penalty that comes from having code optimised for another vendor's hardware. AMD needs to encourage developers to use their own ecosystem or an open standard.
If you read the article, it's about Google's re-implementation of the Java API and runtime. Thus, yes, Google was providing both API and ABI compatibility.
Sounds a lot like an abuser saying “as long as there are no visible bruises, they’re fine”.

Except way worse because you’re fine with bruises apparently. Death is where you draw the line. Disgusting.
This feels like a massive punch in the gut. An opensource project, not ruined by AMD's internal mismanaged gets shit done within two years and AMD goes "meh"?!? There are billions of dollars on the line! It's like AMD actively hates it's customers.

Now the only thing they need to do is make sure ROCm itself is stable.

There were about 6 staff and about the same number of attendees including myself, that was his brothers, sisters and son.

His brother organised the funeral and accepted this offer from the undertakers. His brother is a practicing Christian. I had the impression that the numbers were mostly inflated to save the minister from the shame of giving a memorial service to someone so few people wanted to remember.
I have a welding mask with a "grind" mode that has the same issue. Not exactly something you want to get wrong when welding.
I haven't really run across any devices that haven't worked in ZHA.

I did recently buy the latest generation of Philips Hue Festavia string lights and Home Assistant (via ZHA) had no clue how to set any of the scenes on it. I was able to use the official app to set scenes via Bluetooth though, while still being able to use ZHA to control power and brightness.

I believe the product was released very near the Christmas period though, so I'm sure it'll have full support in ZHA by next year, might just bring em out early and do it myself if nobody else has done it by then.
Presuming that wealth and education are increasing in the general population - wouldn't this pose a problem for the future?
Could you make a gyro car? Akin to a locomotive? I don't exactly know how it would work but I was thinking we have locomotives so we don't need to put engines in every car. The thing I'm thinking about is that the gyro is kinda both a measurement device in a way, and also the system that actuates. Could these systems be separated, simplified, and scaled-down? I don't know, I'm not an engineer, just thinking aloud. :)
> Also when this person says the subscript "denotes the order of the measurement" I'm trying to figure out what kind of order he's talking about. I guess that's the index? It's been a while since I did kalman filters:-p

The order referred to is the index-in-time that a value correspond to. Eg, x_3 would be the state at the third time step. I think their subscript “p” stands for prediction. x_p at time 3 is the state we expect at time 4. But then when time 4 comes around, we incorporate new measurements and calculate x_4 including that new information. Just to be explicit, this x_4 will be different from the x_p we calculated at time 3, as our prediction is always a bit incorrect

> Name a piece of software that would likely not have been written if it wasn't able to be patent protected.

That’s a fantastic argument against software patents. I can’t believe I’ve never thought about it in that way.
It is forgivable if the wrong choice is not so harmful (e.g. play/pause a video) and the effect is reversible. There's an e-commerce website I use that has an option to post product reviews as anonymous with a "slide toggle" typical of mobile devices. The only feedback is after the review gets posted which cannot be undone. I just learned by experience, but it is always confusing to interpret.
Awesome!

I am a firm believer in the policy that one should "know" a few powerful tools (doesn't matter their age) very well rather than messing around with a whole bunch of tools which change with time/fads. Spreadsheets are a great "power tool" in the right hands and since i have never really explored them, your comment was intriguing to me. It would be great if you could do a complete write-up on your website/blog and submit to HN so everybody can benefit from it.
Funnily enough it doesn't work on their RDNA ("Radeon DNA") hardware (with some exceptions I think), but it's aimed at their CDNA (Compute DNA). If they would come up with a new name today it probably wouldn't include Radeon.

AMD seems to be a firm believer in separating the consumer chips for gaming and the compute chips for everything else. This probably makes a lot of sense from a chip design and current business perspective, but I think it's shortsighted and a bad idea. GPUs are very competent compute devices, and basically wasting all that performance for "only" gaming is strange to me. AI and other compute is getting more and more important for things like image and video processing, language models, etc. Not only for regular consumers, but for enthusiasts and developers it makes a lot of sense to be able to use your 10 TFLOPS chip even when you're not gaming.

While reading through the AMD CDNA whitepaper I saw this and got a good chuckle. "culmination of years of effort by AMD" indeed.

I had fun trying to explain this a few years back. https://taeric.github.io/CodeAsData.html

I do have to confess I have rarely taken huge advantage of this fact. But the idea is pretty easy to help look at code.
If I really needed a Kalman filter I'm sure I could read this, or the Wikipedia page, or an implementation's source code (https://github.com/LdDl/kalman-rs/blob/master/src/kalman/kal...) and figure it out.

But IME everyone in the entire world is a "visual learner" who learns best by examples. So I'm surprised that the tutorial midway through the page doesn't put any example numbers into the formulas (maybe I glanced over it?) and the pictures only start after a page of "what is a Kalman filter" text, and the pictures are just of more formulas.
Job is something about you that others find valuable enough to pay for. So for AI to replace jobs we have to like it enough to spend our lives in separate holodecks, assuming human reproduction and young child care are somehow taken care of or we don't mind going extinct in a generation.

Seems far fetched, and also from a utilitarian point of view some will say it's Ok as long as everyone is really happy. But in every other scenario, there will be jobs. They just may not look like jobs we are used to now or require same training as required now. They may be jobs that people enjoy doing, or that people enjoy being done by people for whatever the reason. Someone who lived centuries ago would not recognize our jobs as jobs either. And maybe if someone wants to just sit in a holodeck and be fed, we will take care of it for them for the sake of global peace and quiet. For example, let criminals do whatever they want in VR, including commit crimes, cheaper than the rest of us suffering crime IRL.
The names seemed to reset for some of my zigbee devices (interestingly not all of them, just some of them, it's likely something else going on and unrelated but I don't know for sure), but they still work in their original automations and in my UI everywhere that I have them.
The surprise for me was that the the article is authored by someone at Synaptics, not by someone at IEEE Spectrum. Perhaps this is common and it's just me who did not know.
Honestly I would've agreed with you wholeheartedly at the time they took away the jack, but several years on, I'm good with it. I've owned both the original AirPods and the original PowerBeats and now have a Sony WX headset for when I don't need buds. I've lost one... I left it on the hood of my car, unfortunately, my own damn fault and I was able to get a replacement ordered from Apple. Apart from that, never lost em, and in the odd event I forget to charge them, putting the powerbeats at least on a USB lead for about 5 minutes will get me roughly 70% charge into both beats, even if the case is dead, which is enough for several hours of playback time.

I thought I would miss it, but I genuinely just don't give a shit about the lack of audio jack.
I loved this article, this is exactly what programmers in my community complain most about with regard to lisp.

The greatest strengths for me are the scoping and how lisp enables interactive development. For one, I don't even see parens anymore when writing code. They've become automatic where I'm able to parse structure at least better than I have in the past. With a REPL, (I specifically use Clojure), development has become fun again. A typical debugging process is attaching to my actual program, and calling functions seeing what happens.

I love the flow of defining functions in my code, `def`-ing some test data, and calling those functions. I'll use `cider-inspect` to see if the data structure looks correct and iterate.

Everyone should at least try a lisp. Iterative, interactive development is so fun and powerful.
Honestly this article is just really depressing. Just goes to show how modern technology has ruined peoples lives in ways that we could not anticipate. I always thought internet and social media would bring you more friends but it appears like people are way more lonely today and I identify as one of them.

Honestly, finding new friends as a grown up, especially as a man, is very hard. But I rather have my wedding alone with just my family than with some random people I pay. I'd rather not have any party before the wedding than with people who are not my real friends. Maybe that's just me but I find this "trend", if you can call it that, a dystopia.

We don't need more fake friends, we need less.
But can’t you carry forward the loss? With current capital rules at least in Canada you don’t have to claim capital expenses in a given year.

Politicians often grant accelerated depreciation rates as a tax incentive.

Also with inflation the sooner you can declare the loss the more it is worth. Especially if you have non capital expenses to offset.

The US govt has recently capitalized software expenses and this is seen as very bad for the industry and investment.
Science fiction must escape the dystopia it has trapped itself in

Cleverly Undermining Disorganized AMD
You raise a valid point that I had not considered when it
comes to reputation.

I agree that the studio has the right to destroy films.
I do think that is unfortunate when they do.

I dont think, but I have no data so its pure speculation, that
at least the majority of movies that get destroyed would not have
much of a influence on the studio's reputation.
Perhaps more for actors or directors.

On your second point I dont quite follow.
In my post my suggestion is that after the studio has received its
tax credits, the film would be available in the public domain for free.

Post tax break the movie has little utility for the movie.

This may require an adjustment in tax law.
I am in no way well versed in that and I have little idea how it works.

The tax code could be amended for this scenario that the work being
used for tax credit does not have to be destroyed.

(Again your 1st point is valid and a concern)
There needs to be a "use it or lose it" doctrine/law around technological IP. I get all the arguments around creating a market for the patent rights, but it just leads to these bottom feeders creating no value and increasing costs for the industry and consumers.

edit: no pictures.
My understanding is that with AMD64 there's a circular dependency where AMD need Intel for x86 and Intel need AMD for x86_64?
I actually hope certain jobs will be lost: Anything that involves physical, biological, chemical danger, or unhealthy work habits (e.g. night/weekend on-call). These kinds of jobs shouldn't exist, if possible.
It certainly seems ironic that the company that beat Intel at its own compatibility game with x86-64 would abandon compatibility with today's market leader.
You've got to remember that AMD are behind at all aspects of this, including documenting their work in an easily digestible way.

"Support" means that the card is actively tested and presumably has some sort of SLA-style push to fix bugs for. As their stack matures, a bunch of cards that don't have official support will work well [0]. I have an unsupported card. There are horrible bugs. But the evidence I've seen is that the card will work better with time even though it is never going to be officially supported. I don't think any of my hardware is officially supported by the manufacturer, but the kernel drivers still work fine.

> Meanwhile CUDA supports anything with Nvidia stamped on it before it's even released...

A lot of older Nvidia cards don't support CUDA v9 [1]. It isn't like everything supports everything, particularly in the early part of building out capability. The impression I'm getting is that in practice the gap in strategy here is not as large as the current state makes it seem.

[0] If anyone has bought an AMD card for their machine to multiply matrices they've been gambling on whether the capability is there. This comment is reasonable speculation, but I want to caveat the optimism by asserting that I'm not going to put money into AMD compute until there is some some actual evidence on the table that GPU lockups are rare.

But what happens if the company you're trading with has non-US entities? Or traveling salesmen?

The issue here is the complexity of complying and closing all loopholes that would allow the government to bring the full weight of the legal system against a library writer.

So basically its huge advantage is that it saves its code as text, which makes it gittable?

(Dang, and here the tool I've been designing in my head for several years was going to claim that niche... So unique. ;-)
I did a cursory glance at Nvidia's and AMD's respective careers pages for software developers at one point - what struck me was they both have similarly high requirements for engineers in fields like GPU compute and AI but Nvidia hires much more widely, geographically speaking, than AMD.

As a total outsider it seems to me that maybe one of AMD's big problems is they just aren't set up to take advantage of the global talent pool in the same way Nvidia is.
If we go with Constantine, I guess his strong impression would be how tame and uncommitted modern politics are.

Show HN: A tool to help founders hire teams much faster
Hey HN!

I'm sure the majority of you are founders of your own companies. If you've ever tried to hire someone, I'm sure you've faced the problem of receiving too many applicants and not having the time to go through each resume...

For the past 8 months, I've been developing a software to make that process of resume screening automated and streamlined. Would love to see any feedback!

I'd argue that jobs wont be lost so much as change, just like all the previous technological jumps. You had an entire industry to cater to horse travel until cars came along. Then you needed an entire industry to cater to cars and their maintenance.
It might have some influence, but not to the extent where, quoting OP, >>The "it's too hard to have kids" crew is selecting against themselves<<.
Fair point, it could still be interesting.

I guess I'm saying their goal here was to do no search and get high performance, not create the highest possible performance. The trade off between run time search and more training (better models) is an explicit area of research, and this paper is in that realm. Noam Brown has talked a lot about this in the context of poker and diplomacy.
From the article:

"My visit to Deep Springs College taught me, in no uncertain terms, to be extremely careful about trusting anyone. Whether it is trusting a leader, trusting the numbers an institution claims, or trusting someone who is making an argument to you about this or that. A substantial majority of the people, institutions, and others we encounter in our day-to-day lives are completely full of shit. Everything is a facade and you really do not know what is real and what is not."
That's why I like the non-pro iPhones, they're significantly lighter. I believe Apple fixed that with the Titanium 15 pro though.

And yes the Galaxy S21-24 are impressively light too.
I've read zigbee really doesn't like routers that aren't available 24/7 so I'm planning on avoiding this.
Airbyte is definitely one of the MDS vendors. Plus they have a ton of bugs because their only focus is having the most connectors on the market. A lot of them are broken or badly implemented.

Erosion makes gravel and sand, which are quite useful. It also makes minerals and nutrients accessible to life.

But we spend a lot of time and money managing erosion, and at the same time (often accidentally) create lots of erosion in other places. I doubt extracting tidal energy will have effects on a global scale, though it might cause some local changes
