Not anymore, now they allow a list of distributions. It has NVidia's first class support with all things optimized. Like CUDA, Pytorch, and so on. For now it's the best thing money can buy for mobile robot. I'm interested in Pytorch, CNNs, LLMs, video processing sort of things.

Community is nice, but not sure it's possible to get reasonable performance easily from Mac Studio. Don't remember seeing Apple in the list of supported platforms for PyTorch. Nothing personal, I'm interested in the results, not the process.
I turned into Shazam doing that; I could recognize any song I liked by the first note.
These are tools. How well they work largely depends on the discipline and processes followed by the development team using them. If the concern is that raw pointers can be extracted from controlled pointers, then the development team needs to check for this. No tool is perfect, but tools like these can be used effectively to reduce attack surfaces and improve safety.

Even languages like Rust make memory safety optional. One can drop into an unsafe block and perform all sorts of abominable things. Such escape hatches are necessary to color outside of the lines when one must do system software development or optimize software beyond what the compiler can do on its own. At some point, the developer must be trusted to learn the tool or to use discretion when considering something like unsafe. In both cases, a development team can peer review these choices.

What makes me interested in tools like Cake and similar tools is that these bring us closer to being able to use proof assistants to build up reasoning about the times when we must color outside of the lines. Whether C, C++, or Rust, being able to import code into a proof assistant or extract efficient code from a proof assistant can further assist us when our use cases exceed what is possible with the safety features in our language or tooling.
I'm completely fallible. I just don't entertain people calling me a "tech bro" that lazily follow up with "but you should know better". That's not earnest, good faith engagement.
Thanks, does your blog have a working RSS feed?
> How do you organize your games for launch?

I still use Steam, as I enjoy some of the games I've already bought (eg Eufloria). Just won't be paying more money to them ever again.

For everything else, I've been using Lutris (last several months), and it seems good enough.
What I hate about the ML community is that papers have become ad pieces now. I'm all for them releasing technical papers, but do we have to fuck up the review system for it. We don't need to railroad our research community and doing so is pretty risky. I don't buy the scale is all you need side. But if you do, doesn't matter if I'm wrong, we'll just get there when Sam gets his $7T. But if I'm right, we need new ideas if we're going to keep progressing without missing a step.
Likely a response to I-SOON.

No, there should never be spaces around Em-dashes, while for En-dashes they are situational---spaced if being used in lieu of Em-dashes, and unspaced if used as ranges (e.g. 1938--1945) or comparisons (e.g. Blue--Red Dichotomy)
>"The display was a 512×512 bitmap, with both character and vector plotting done by hardwired logic. It included fast vector line drawing capability, and ran at 1260 baud, rendering 60 lines or 180 characters per second."

Sounds more like it has Bresenham's algorithm implemented in hardware. It would still plot individual pixels on a 512x512 grid, which is different from how an actual vector display draws lines.
All that means that I can’t spell it out for you, I don’t know how you can be here and not understand contractual obligations. You have to come to the conclusions yourself. All I can kinda do is act as an oracle and say “yeah that might work” or “that sounds like a false sense of security.” Everyone here thus far has had zero curiosity or willingness to debate things on actual merits despite me dropping a few big hints and would rather either attack me personally for being willing to debate something I can’t go into details about (but could probably talk what-ifs), or tell me it is impossible because of a magic tree and I must not know what I’m talking about.

So sure, this thread isn’t very informative, but that’s not entirely my fault. I’ve said as much as I’m free to say, the rest relies on other creative people who can read between the lines and ask the right questions.

At the end of the day, I’m sure some of the people that have joined the lobsters fraternity, er, site, have at some point worked at trust+safety in big corps and can actually help if asked. So I suspect they would actually be fine. I was just hoping to have an interesting discussion about it here and help people understand that a magic tree won’t help you in the long term.
There are errors within the CPU.

As for adding ECC within the CPU, I think that would require you to essentially have a second CPU in parallel to compare against.
Bad guesses will result in programs that subscript out of range, which is caught at run time.

That is sadly not always the case.
I mean, kinda. It's little more than a consumer-grade padlock or maybe "do not cross" tape - there are countless ways around it, it mostly just encourages normal cases to be more static (which is a good thing! but very far from a security tool)
Great! Then you can move out there and not worry about living in a city, and this discussion isn't relevant to you. Problem solved.

> making the syntax closer to a general purpose functional programming language

It’s more about having a consistent, predictable and simple language. Being more functional-like or imperative-like or declarative-like or whatever is just a byproduct. I suppose LISP is the extreme of that goal, and probably too extreme, but SQL itself is on the other end, with every clause and function running its own subsyntax and special cases. I believe I’ve read the ANSI SQL standard defines something like 1700 terminals — it’s absolutely absurd. And of course every database extends that standard arbitrarily with a slew of new keywords.

There’s a reason every RDBMS can only report errors like “syntax error on line 1: <entire query>” and it’s not because the devs are completely incompetent
The worst part of using spotify today is their random pop ups that interrupt you right when you want too quickly choose a song or Playlist and play something. Instead they block you with a random full screen dialog box with some unwanted bs in it. Oh and the dismiss button is a tiny hard to find text. Feels functionally similar to using an ad supported service, even though I'm paying.
Ha, I've commented almost exactly this twice now on HN. We'll see how long before it's a reality -- probably better measured in months rather than years.
I trade songs with family on Spotify regularly. I suspect it is influencing our recommendations! You can also listen to music together using Jam, though I have not tried it: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-09-26/spotify-jam-personal...

Discover, Buy and Sell Your Startups or Side Projects
Hello guys. @omosayansii here. Currently Building @acquisitionsHQ

How it works and what it solves

There's pain, struggle when it comes to exiting a startup or a product as a Founder. This can be due to:

New Product Ideas Validation
Inability to Market & Scale the Startup
Burn Out from Micro Managing Multi StartUps
Exit completely to focus on other side projects, Fulltime gigs etc

Most of the time this leaves you in a dilemma, not knowing what to do with the startup you have already built and validated. Exiting and acquisition process can be tedious due to premium requirements & numerous rejections based on mostly Revenue Metrics from the "existing giant platforms"

The startup is market fit, but on the other hand you have less motivation to keep scaling it. Don't abandon that Tool , leaving it as a Dead Project.

Instead jump on to startupsacquisitions.com/submission submit & list. Find your next buyer.

You don't need $10K MRR to exit. Just an MVP and you are good to go.
There’s more tooling for non-professionals to keep a leash on desktop app network usage, too, like LuLu[0] and OpenSnitch[1]. There’s ways around these tools as there is with anything else, but it raises the bar a bit since the user is unlikely to let random programs connect to servers they have no good reason to connect to, once made aware that the attempts are being made.

It’s not as reasonable for the layman to do this on the web, since it’s par for the course for a single visit to a big commercial website to kick off connections to dozens of unintelligible domains, and to sometimes break if these connections aren’t allowed. OS-level tools like LuLu aren’t of much help here because significant limitations on the servers a browser can connect to essentially break the browser, which leaves you with extensions like NoScript and uMatrix which for the explained reasons aren’t as straightforward to operate.

And none of it was originally written in English. The English words were chosen because of their definitions, so that it made sense. I’m not sure what you mean by this.

In other news, I come from a family of Christian pastors and I’m quite informed on what words mean in the Bible and which ones actually matter. You are mixing several ones into a single word that has a singular definition that is well defined.
The Silent Treatment: When People Leave You Guessing
I don’t consider VSCode the best code editor, but I will say: it is the best thing to happen to code editing for quite some time. LSP has made it much easier to create an editor, or add support for niche languages. Even for big names like vim, which have always had a deep bench of plugins, it’s amazing to see this stuff “just work” now which used to require constant fussing (and the occasional blood sacrifice to tim pope).

Ditto for the Atom folks with Tree-Sitter. You see both these technologies show up in neovim, emacs, hip new kids like helix…like: yes, input latency or memory usage are important for a text editor—but it’s a bummer when people’s takeaways from these two are “lol electron, trash corporate engineering”, when the teams behind them were out-implementing the even-more-open-source world on important things like this.

As for the closed-source world…Jetbrains has been basically unchallenged in the general-purpose IDE game for ages. It’s exciting to see what they’ll do now with a fire lit under their butts.
Thank you, I had a hunch I mis-remembered.

Why isn't there a sound module for ssds? It's a no brainer, how come nobody came up with anything?
I'm not a fan. They like to play the game of "unlimited credit limit". Until you spend more than your secret credit limit that is, in fact, not unlimited. this was years ago, but I was unable to get them to tell me what the secret limit was until I tried to make a large purchase and they blocked it. then we had to play a stupid game of hypotheticals. If I were to attempt to make a single purchase of $75k next week, would it go through? What about $100k?
I agree with you completely myself -- I bought a 4k 27" HP Envy monitor in the $400ish range about 5 years ago, and that plus the 16" laptop on a double arm setup is a great setup for me. But I definitely 2.5x'd the numbers in case of the people I've heard of (certain deeply-observant Apple devotees) who wax poetic about how using anything but a perfect multiple pixel ratio is painful to their eyes (they believe a 27" has to be 5k and don't believe in using a scaled screen resolution). Although tbh, I should have said "$1600 monitors" in that case, as there is nearly zero competition in that resolution+size combo, so Apple's hilarious one is the only option.
Spotify's UI is unusually rigid. You can't resize or move anything.
Very much this. It's incredible what we can do with it - our limiter building louie.ai has been more ourselves than OpenAI. Though of course a better LLM (smarter, faster, cheaper) does enable more.

The main problem with freezing is the moat disappears. Others are steadily catching up, and on specific benchmarks, even surpassing. Groq.com is insane wrt perf.
But it’s costly. It would be even more useful if it were 1000 times cheaper than it is now. And we don’t yet know if OpenAI earns more than it spent on renting cards or not
It's wonderful he's part of the local conversation.

Thanks for the tangental information. Hope Sarah makes her point not too expensively, while the lawyers are fairly compensated.

I personally don't see how she can win, just because of the sheer openness / unregulatability of the technologies (cat's already out of the bag). I wish them well.
I have. One thing one of the therapists told me was that it is ok to be angry at her for the abuse I took from her growing up, due to her mental illnesses. That worked wonders. Once you get past anger, it is pretty much all downhill from there.
Google is culpable here. But the actual people who work there seem to not care, or are gleefully unaware.

But the publishers who sold out to the algorithm are also to blame. I don’t know how to break the vicious cycle here.
In what sense? How about reproducibility? Is stored memory, the connection between the prompt and the exact output, really compression or simply a retrieval of a compressed file then stored as factual knowledge ingrained in its Neural Network?

I like your sentiment, it is technically inspiring.
not going to and publish it.
The fees are significantly lower in Europe, the rewards/kick backs given to card holders are also less.
Any chance you plan to offer the API to cloud LPUs? And not just the LLM API? It would be cool run custom code (training, serving, etc).
If you would like to reach out, I can probably answer some things for you. But, whether it is ultimately worth it or not, is a personal decision.
You actually need 3 - which is how it's done for space (I believe SpaceX uses this as a solution to avoiding radiation hardened costs).

2 will tell you if they diverge, but you lose both if they do. 3 let's you retain 2 in operation if one does diverge.

Yeah, I was introduced to the Twiddler in the context of robot interfaces and while I can't find the study now, there were a couple showing that eventually the slowdown is down to the extra movement, which is almost exactly x3 on most chorded systems.

I use the mouse almost exclusively now, to the point going back to search/word/character navigation when a terminal won't pass mouse events feels excruciating.

Macros are mostly code refactoring in emacs. Things like moving blocks between brackets, repainting, stuff like that. These really benefit from sticky keys. No letter is closer or further from super, hyper, or alt because I hit the chord for the meta key and then the one for letter.
China Exerts Grip on Tech as Beijing Expands Economy Control
Cancer staging is complex, as one would expect for a wide-ranging category of diseases that follow different courses and cause harm different ways. Stage depends on tumor size, distance of spread, what organs it spread to (lymph nodes are especially worrisome), and how much the tumor cells differ from normal tissue. There is a large manual used by oncologists to record this information, and another large manual for cancer registrars to summarize it.

https://www.cancer.org/cancer/diagnosis-staging/staging.html

There are simplified categories of early/late stages, usually used in public health statistics. "Early stage" here is in situ (hasn't broken out of the tissue where it first appeared) or localized (hasn't left the primary site/organ). "Late stage" is regional (metastasized to adjacent organs) or distant (metastasized to non-adjacent organs, usually through the bloodstream or lymphatic system).

>What is considered early stage? Pre symptoms?

Not necessarily. This is generally true for things like kidney cancer, which is really deadly. People don't usually get checked until they have symptoms, which is usually after it's metastasized. But benign tumors can cause symptoms by physically pressing on organs. Benign brain tumors, which can kill, are an extreme example of this.

> Yes. Usury law serves this purpose, to draw a line.

I do not understand what you're trying to say here. We're talking about

- putting an upper limit on the interest rate for loans (which is what said usary limits _are_), and

- if that means some people cannot get loans, and

- if that inability to get a loan is really helping that person

The fact that usary law exists and puts a limit on the interest rate for loans doesn't answer the question, since it's only the starting point from which the question is asked.

That being said, what you linked seems to say something along the lines of

1. For dealer + bank loan setups, the usary limits do indeed reduce the ability of the dealer setup a loan (with the bank) for a buyer. This is the case we were originally talking about, for which we have an unanswered question.

2. For BHPH (the car dealer is the one doing the loan), the limit is worked around by increasing the amount of the loan. This _seems_ to be similar to buying points on a loan. This seems like a better tradeoff than "a loan isn't possible", since the buyer still has an option (where they wind up paying more by the end, but with less risk; to both parties). My thought would be that this is actually helpful for the buyer, but it's debateable.
That's cool. I'm unironically interested, how do you manage to think at such speed?
It’s pretty soulless and derivative. Completely lacks the charm of a game like valheim. Enjoyable for many who just love Pokémon and survival crafting games though.
Is that because they don’t use a bot to auto-close issues like a lot of other projects?
You're right, I more meant that if you don't format, your code sometimes becomes difficult to read and you become disincentivized to fix anything because git blame will point at you. I run into this all the time when people tell me, don't format the code because we won't know who did what. I get this even from senior devs as if using git blame and history is rocket science. If everyone stops bickering and just formats, all this noise goes away.

You only knew that because you know how to do the math yourself, friend.

If you read what he said (I quoted it), he was not talking about one specific outcome. He didn't...well, specify that. He said half and half.

I also know how to do math, as I think I proved in my own comment. So I don't accept your insult.
Purpose in life. Give yourself hundreds of millions of dollars. What now? Many people might say they'd go retire on a beach, and that's really fun for like a year or two. But even endless self indulgence of that sort becomes quickly pointless.

For all of us stuck in the hamster wheel, purpose is easy - because it's forced upon us. But for those who manage to step outside of the wheel, what now? Taken to extremes you even see things like 90+ year old Warren Buffet deciding to step back in the wheel, continuing to show up to grind his days away at the office.

If you appreciate that lots of behaviors of people are them simply looking for a purpose in life - a lot of things start to make much more sense, running the gamut from political extremism, activism extremism, or people who already have practically infinite wealth just turning life into a game of 'make number go up.'
What I find interesting is the categories not clearly spammed but obviously in a high cost ecosystem at smallish scale. Rehab centers, front yard water features, etc.
You said "...bicycles are worth the time and effort for insurers to launch full investigations over."

and I said:

"I would agree, yet I have seen it happen."

I was precise in answering your precise statement.

I have seen claims for less than $5000 items create significant investigative and delay-inducing efforts from an insurer. A video of the theft would have, in some of those cases, reduced that effort. Having video evidence is in almost no circumstances going to increase the time it will take to get an insurance claim paid. By you having the video evidence, you have the choice if you want to disclose it. It is just upside that you control.

If you do not want to put a camera in your garage pointing at your mountain bike, by all means do not.
Yeah, querySelector(undefined) works

Although location.hash defaults to the empty string '' when there is no hash, which gives a SyntaxError, so we still need the fallback selector to select none.

SFP+ got much cheaper now, so you can get 10 Gbps way easier than in the past.

The issue seems to be switching. To switch so much data you need either a powerful CPU or some kind of ASIC and apparently all those ASICs are proprietary and no one wants to make 10 Gbps switches with open firmware becasue of that.
The inclusion of the perspective section: https://github.com/charlax/professional-programming?tab=read... I think is really smart. Same for personal productivity. Two things that can dramatically change how and what you end up studying and doing with your time / life.

I did a coding bootcamp and yeah the frontend knowledge they taught was useful, but I could have learned that online for free. I used to consume big githubs like this by by the bucketful, but none of them really focused on these soft skills. Looking back, the far more valuable thing I learned was these exact soft skills, that unlocked a level of discipline I'd never had, without which I'd never been able to have a career change, or a successful career after.

The shared article in the github is incredible: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/07/termin...

I often wonder why I don't see more of these sorts of articles. From watching a family member slowly die of cancer, and from reading books like "When Breath Becomes Air," I'm guessing it's some combination of exhaustion, disability, and a new set of priorities that doesn't really involve death blogging. Still, I find these kinds of writings more poignant than most things I read.
Yeah, gofmt does and always has fixed indentation (by tabs, thus avoiding another pointless conversation on teams using it).
