3x difference is not "close".
Care to share your system prompt?
I have a console based chat app I built for myself that calls GPT-4 via the API. It works pretty well and is not very expensive.
The good news is that a theoretical future migrating compiler can let the user specify ABI details like "flatten into scalars" even if the traditional platform ABI forbids that.

I guess GCC attributes could do that too, but I don't think they have.
If you're already familiar with arm64 assembly language then just read the RISC-V ISA manual. It's short and simple.

https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/

riscv64 Linux syscall numbers are the same as arm64 ones. Just put the syscall number into `a7` instead of `x8`. And args in `a0`..`a3`, obv. Use `ecall` instead of `svc 0`. Boom!
This could be a useful disclaimer, to say "we are talking about recording and processing and NOT about playback".

Audiophiles demand streaming services to provide 192/24 because they see the music being originally mastered at high sample rates, and from that conclude that listening to 48/16 is a loss of "original recorded quality".

I can totally envision audiophiles picking up the Wescott's article and using it as "scientific" argument to distribute more Hi-Res music, and some half-technical manager buying that. They won't even read it.

> Do PWAs?
Like holy crud, it's like you're not reading anything I'm saying. This is what everyone is telling you, PWAs lack critical capabilities. And you keep saying, "no, it's fine, why don't they just [insert capability that isn't available to them]."

No “everyone” is saying that mean old Apple is keeping PWAs back because they don’t support some web spec. Which web spec is there that Apple should be supporting where cross device sync of local storage is possible?

> Which isn't available to PWAs.

Which spec is Apple not supporting that would make that possible?

> I'm sorry, are you seriously going to try and argue that users don't care about the ability to have offline storage? This is unbelievably out of touch.

No you were saying that users don’t care about device sync and would be happy with only local storage.

> This must be why nobody complained about Windows requiring a Microsoft account to install, why nobody uses Sublime or Notepad because they don't have online accounts, why nobody ever downloads DRM free games, and why nobody uses a computer offline /s

And since we are talking about mobile devices that get left in cars, dropped in the ocean, stolen etc. cross device sync and automatic backup that’s been available since 2010 is kind of the norm.

You really think more people are using Sublime text than Office365, Google docs, and even notes on Macs?

You have heard of services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Offive365 etc haven’t you?

And BTW, the notes app on Mac also automatically syncs between my Mac, iPad and iPhone - yours doesn’t?

> It's not even available to PWAs that do use an online account. iOS has unreliable background sync for PWAs

Apple restricts background processes for all third party apps to save battery life. It’s been this way since 2010.

> And in fact, even Apple devices do not require an Apple account to use because Apple recognizes that having that be optional is important to users.

You really think iOS users don’t have iCloud accounts? Have you actually ever tried to use an iOS device without an account?

You realize that Apple’s equivalent of Google Docs - the iWorks suite has synced across devices since 2010 don’t you?
The main problem with the AMD 5000 series is their high idle (non-core) power draw of around 20 to 30W.

AMD have reduced this in their 7000 series.
It is cool they realized that horses would now be curiosities and something people would see at events rather than an everyday thing. People turn their heads today when they see a horse drawn carriage.
You're missing a critical point, which is that using this software requires agreeing to follow its recommendation (else penalty) and to give them access to your pricing.
This was really cool...

I'm dying to know how you did WFH in the 1960s though? That's well before the pc/modem generation ?? I'm tempted to say it was probably still the punch card era ... Did they punch the code onto cards at home, and mail the stacks to the client ?
This is how buildings heat and cool, mostly - every part of a structure that can see the sky allows radiative heating AND cooling. People forget about the second part.

And this is why we built our current house on a north facing slope, in a forest - against all common wisdom about siting.

Place stays cool in the summer, warm in the winter - the other side of the valley literally caught fire this summer, and gets intense cycles of cooling in the winter, as it gets only ~4h of sunlight and 20h of radiation - our more sheltered side gets 0h of sunlight, but the slope and tree cover drastically reduce radiative cooling at night - it’s insane how much the temperature varies as you walk around at night, and you can feel the katabatic winds flowing down the valley and side valleys.
Ah. I didn't see it on the kickstarter/gofundme page with the specifications. Back on my wishlist then :)
The words are the words. No one else can help the fact that you interpret words that weren't either written or implied.

A 10 year smoker may or may not also be a 10 year old smoker, but probably not.

A 6 month project may or may not also be a 6 month old project. Etc etc.
Because none of those things are linked. Most cities around the world have pretty extensive parklands, botanic gardens, and public transport links to nature reserves. Crime is area dependent, not density. And noise is mostly linked to car traffic, which is often reduced in higher density areas.
Or in case submarines launch nuclear warheads, then the people living under water would actually be the ones surviving (for some time)
He's a UK citizen and his girlfriend is a Portuguese local, who he met after he moved there. I believe there are visas you can apply for if you can show you're investing a certain amount of money into Portugal (buying property, starting a business, etc).
Regarding the article date, I'm pretty sure this is older than 2010, with the description of USB 2.0 as new and poorly adopted (USB 2.0 was released in 2000, 3.0 in 2008)
Many iOS users use the Messages app to send and receive text messages which can be trivially backed up to iCloud but not other cloud storage solutions. Among people who text (common in the US) I'd imagine there aren't many iPhone users with less than 5GB of data stored in iMessages

That said, you can back iMessages up to a computer and back up files on your computer. You just can't restore iMessages to different Apple devices like this, but now we're talking about minor grievances to a really tiny segment of the population
> having to order actual hardware, putting it into racks, hiring, training, retaining the people there to debug actual hardware issues when they arise, dealing with HVAC concerns, etc is a lot of complexity that's probably completely outside of your core business

Vertical integration is a widely known and understood business strategy - running your own infrastructure will help you reclaim the cloud margins back for yourself.

You can do it as a one man band or a huge multinational.

I use hotels and other rental offerings, including the cloud. But I when it is advantageous to do so, I buy and own. Even though it comes with maintenance burdens.
That’s the market clearing volatility
Hi,
Could you please elaborate on your original problem?

The binaries your Bazel system built could not be run unless the runtime environment matched the build environment?
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Puget Sound, and Pearl Harbor, are the four entirely domestic military naval shipyards. Newport News, the General Dynamics yard in Groton, and Ingalls Shipbuilding are effectively domestic-military-only shipbuilders.

Some commercial shipbuilders, notably NASSCO, do business with the US Navy for smaller classes of ship as well as auxiliary vessels, and potentially could take orders from foreign militaries.

But yes, there is a massive domestic shipyard and shipbuilding industry in the US that is military-only. There are almost 300 active ships and another 170 in the reserve fleet, almost all with far more complex maintenance requirements than the typical civilian vessel.

Like many government operations, the US government doesn't try to oversee day-to-day operations, and awards those by contract. Same with the operation of national labs, for example.
how's:

function growl() { osascript -e "display notification \"$1\" with title \"Growl\" "
}
After 9/11 when we started bombing a random unrelated country we killed that.
https://github.com/rbmm/SRW-2 - possible better repro code . where i guarantee repro this without hundreds loops. i be say that "question" in RtlReleaseSRWLockExclusive implementation. it first remove Lock bit from SRW (and after this any thread can enter to lock) and then call RtlpWakeSRWLock. but this 2 operations not atomic. if in the middle (after Lock Bit removed and before RtlpWakeSRWLock executed) another thread acquire shared access - it got exclusive. and RtlpWakeSRWLock also "fail" after this - not wake any waiters. but when shared/exlusive owner then release lock..RtlpWakeSRWLock will be called again and self job. i be of course use bit another implementation, link to which i paste in another comment here
> foreign providers are under no such obligation

What happens with foreign financial institutions which don't implement KYC or otherwise play nice? I'm really asking; I remember when I was young that "swiss bank accounts" were famous for shielding account owners, but my understanding is that's no longer the case.

My first thought here was, what happens when the US decides that network providers doing business in the US must blackhole Hetzner or whatever because they aren't implementing KYC.
There's no lack of living space. What we lack is living space in transportation range of interesting places.
It can go either way. If you duplicate code, but the two copies need to stay in sync, then you've made it a bit harder and more error-prone to maintain. But the worse offense is if you have some code that serves two conflicting sets of requirements, but you keep the code together with increasing complexity to thread the needle of satisfying all the requirements.

The latter is the worse offense because it's much harder to decouple two systems than it is to notice a similarity in two bits of code and to extract the commonality.
> "We believe generative media models will transform the creative economy"

Then you believe a lie.

I am fatigued by generative "art". Feels like browsing stock art. It's uninspiring. Lifeless. Meaningless. Stock image libraries have more life, since they are often made by humans.

Outsourcing human imagination to generative AI is unhealthy karma and a lousy business to be in. The results are not "creative", nor the prompts.

People who rely on generative models for "creativity", and not undertaking any creative process. They may be doing themselves harm by accepting whatever AI produces, forgetting how to think about composition, style, substance, subtlety, wit, contradiction, creative iteration and progression, balance, and deliberate imbalance.

> "Ideogram 1.0 excels at interpreting complex prompts, as the examples below demonstrate.".

Really? The first example demonstrates no such thing.

Prompt: A fascinating family portrait of a solid matte red sphere Christmas present perched atop a blue cube wrapped as a Christmas present, with a vivid green Christmas tree standing behind them with a green cloth wrapped around its base. A curious dog is positioned on the right and a cute cat lounges on the left.

Firstly, what is "fascinating" doing in the prompt? Secondly, if you read the prompt and imagine your own version of the image before looking at the generated image, the AI image is disappointing compared with your own imagined version.

Try it. Imagine the above scene, then go look at what was generated. The "curious dog" isn't doing anything to deserve the curious label, and the "vivid Christmas tree" looks like a plastic tree found in the trash. The whole scene looks stale and sterile. Yet, people will use this AI and say "wow, it's so clever". Wrong. It just made you a boring image to fill the void you made when disengaging your own imagination.

Your own imagination is better. There is no creativity happening with these models.
Why does this seem ridiculous? There are more national companies than international companies, by a large factor.
I'm with a basic knowledge of accounting an propaganda is useful.

The big issue facing fossil fuel companies is their liabilities will exceed their assets making them at first accounting insolvent[1] then later functionally insolvent[2]. Finally doomed[3]. Blackamoors job is to push these off for as long as possible.

[1] Still cash flow positive but unable to pay off liabilities in full.

[2] Defaults on debt.

supernatural: attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/supernatural

1: of or relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe
especially : of or relating to God or a god, demigod, spirit, or devil

2: departing from what is usual or normal especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature

If we put this all together, you think scientists are saying to each other that aluminum cans are beyond scientific understanding and they transcend the observable universe. Do I have all this right?

Do you think maybe you misunderstood what supernatural means?
> Privacy, security, convenience and the fact that it's a #$%&ing terrible user experience. Nobody wants to log in with Facebook every time they play a video game. I mean, heck, you're on here arguing about user privacy, and your solution to that is that more user data should be stored in the cloud? Come on.

You mean like no one wants to log in with Steam, or their console? You realize that everyone on mobile is already logged in to an account where there game data can be saved an automatically synced right?

> King does appear to have online accounts for at least the people who want them[0]. I would argue a lot of people probably don't want them.

Since most people play on mobile, King didn’t need a separate online account, between saving in Game Center and just saving locally and letting iCloud taking care of the backups and online sync they didn’t have to.
Good on them. A live butterfly logo would look like a moth

Sorry, docker image. We deploy everything in Kubernetes, so I can spin up this image as a container in the cluster, open a shell on it, and use the Go tools we wrote for interacting with our services to debug and diagnose what’s going on.
The calculation is the power method, but the main gist is modelling internet browsing behaviour as a Markov chain, wandering through randomly clicking links. The equilibrium probabilities of being at any page is the vector "r". I'm a bit surprised how few sources offer this explanation upfront, I guess they want to maintain the mystique, and want to make the technique appear more profound that it was.

For people like me who didn't know what a "2-adic eval" is, it's a fancy way of saying that 52![1] can be divided by two 49 times and still give an integer.

If you factor the number 52! (https://wolframalpha.com/input?i=factor+52%21), you can see the term 2^49. If you divide 52! by two 49 times, you are still left with an integer.

[1]: 52 factorial, 52*51*50*...*2*1, the number of different orderings of the 52 cards in a standard deck
My example shows that the sea would open up a lot of new space near interesting places. People bunch up at coasts, you could bunch up more people around coasts if some of them lived underwater.
That doesn't make any sense. There is a dramatic under-supply of housing, there will be no "out-competing". They're going to rent all of their apartments, the price-fixers and the non-price-fixers. They'd just be leaving money on the table, not "out-competing". They're not going to magically acquire a bunch of new non-existent housing to grow their market share. I implore you to move beyond econ 101 thinking.
That's fair, but I figured the main page has it big and prominent right now, and does better to explain what GSoC is for anyone out of the loop.
People who write software tend to be underrepresented in the group of people who have had trouble making rent as a working adult. And it's not hard to fill out sales, HR, etc with similar people.
1) Float. Every dollar that is held in limbo 'for checking' is interest income to the bank.
2) Rabid identification requirements lower the risk of new account fraud (which is paid by the bank).
3) Information on who you're sending payments to is usable by the bank for prospecting and risk analysis.
4) If you read anything about regulatory capture, it explains how regulation is used by incumbents to discourage competition. i.e. No new banks have opened in the U.S. since 2009, when new regulations to prevent banks from getting bigger were passed. <- And now, the biggest banks are MUCH larger.

I use a fork of https://github.com/Krivich/GPT-Over-API, I edited it to support recent models and added cost estimation that keeps track of all the money spent on all requests. For most of the tasks ChatGPT3.5 is fine, but for more complex/recent-data related tasks, GPT-4 performs better.
Why this over some fancy ui on the web? Well, this can be hosted locally and will not steal your OpenAI key, and it allows to set max.tokens and select history items on every request.
I canceled mine and I now pay for Gemini. Only thing I really use it for is brainstorming and coding and it’s better for me at both those by a long shot.

Fyi I noticed Kaohsiung was listed incorrectly as Kaohsiung (China) instead of Kaohsiung (Taiwan). Strange as Taipei was listed correctly as Taipei (Taiwan).
Well, if you haven’t been paying attention, the FTC hasn’t exactly been batting 1000 when it came to their lawsuits against BigTech…

> It's not that the App Store provides value, it's that PWAs are not a viable alternative.

So the App Store doesn’t provide value except for having features that app developers need that provide value?
I’m probably going to run the app inside of Electron and print from there, so it will be easier in my case for the users to monitor the queue.
It might "count," but it's not half as good. It's small wonder to me that high schoolers "hate Shakespeare" and find the works hard to understand. They weren't written to be read, but to be performed!
I had a friend in high school who proudly proclaimed that he never memorized trigonometry formulas, he would just derive them from scratch when he needed them. He would often run out of time on our regular 20-minutes long tests. Admirable but not practical.
Nutritionally, kwas is just an eccentric kind of pop marketed to eastern Europeans. The modern mass-market stuff is even made the same way: syrup and forced carbonation.
What do you think central bank digital currencies are about? They can tie your identity to your wallet. Then you have to validate your identity to access the wallet.

(There’s worse stuff, like they could decide only 10% of your budget can be used on gas. Or force you to pay higher taxes as a carbon credit, etc etc)

Exactly. If you have to care about this for any prolonged time, do yourself a favor and structure your code carefully, think about the right abstractions, etc.

If you only need to release it before Christmas no matter what, and sales will wane anyway in 6 months, then even worse crimes against maintainability may find a justification.

The problem is, of course, is that even code that was intended as throwaway tends to live much much longer than expected, if it actually works.

The Amiga had been intended as a games machine in early development when it was still only a project at Amiga Inc. However, when the 1983 video games crash happened, they started looking at other purposes and decided to add keyboard and mouse support. When they got funding from Atari it wasn't entirely clear if it was going to become a games console, a home computer, or both.

Then Jack Tramiel was ousted from Commodore and took engineers with him. Commodore had to abandon the Commodore 900 project: a 16-bit business computer running Coherent (a clone of Unix), and was looking for a replacement: a hole which the Amiga filled, and then some.

> a simple bounds check may not show up even if it’s responsible for a 20% slowdown because the probability of your sampler hitting it is small when that bounds check takes nanoseconds to execute vs your ms profiler sample rate.

Surely for this to happen you'd have to be putting a lot of effort into getting a perfect 1ms sampling rate, and even a little bit of variation in that would be more than enough to handle aliasing issues.
There's a good reason for it. Although you can see the hindwings on most (but not all) butterfly species when they're resting, this isn't the case with most moths. So, in collections of lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), entomologists adopted the practice of spreading the wings so that you can see both pairs clearly. It might not be natural but it's more helpful for identification purposes.
> or overly demanding

From a US-centric experience: driving is generally low-effort, incredibly convenient, quicker, and has the support of everybody in comparison to transit. All our infrastructure money caters to driving. It is THE way to transport yourself.

As a result, when drivers find a sidewalk or bike lane installation to be “overly demanding” it leaves me without words. How do you explain to someone that has it all - that they have it all?

The irony being, in my opinion, that the biggest inconvenience to driving in a dense area is everyone else driving.
