This is an great deal for developers, if 0,042€/hour means per hour of compute. If you tests with cross compilation and qemu anyways and sometimes needs test/benchmark on the native hardware, then this means you can spend about 5€ and you are probably set for months if not a year.

Also, with the latest gcc you can finally target rvv 0.7.1, which is supported by these CPUs. You just write your standardized rvv 1.0 intrinsics and if you add `-march=64gcxtheadvector` gcc 14 will just generate the equivalent rvv 0.7.1: https://godbolt.org/z/va9sfEnMW
I agree it's not as bad as other companies (like the other day Netlify story) but Hetzner doesn't allow you to set limits either, so in theory you can still be charged without knowing how much it'll be in advance. You can also leave something on while thinking it's off and, yes, it's your fault too, but it wouldn't happen if it just consumed your credits and no more.
Perhaps if growth increases enough.

It appears that insideEVs article used 4 months of Tesla sales to represent a quarter, which is misleading. If we look at monthly figures, it's around 100k per quarter now, which is in line with the 385k they sold in 2023. And that explains why it seemed like they were number 2 when they were actually trailing several models.

Currently it peaked in April (and repeated the same number in June) but is selling around 30-31k Model Y each month in the U.S. There's no current sign of acceleration.

The C++ committee is looking hard at how to make C++ memory safe. If you use modern C++ you are already reasonably memory safe - the trick is how do we force developers to not access raw memory (no new/malloc, use vector not arrays...). There are some things that seem like they will come soon.

Of course if you really need that non-memory safe stuff - which all your existing code does - then you can't take advantage of it. However you can migrate your C++ to modern C++ and add those features to your code. This is probably easier than migrating to something like Rust (Rust cannot work with C++ unless you stick with the C subset from what I can tell) since you can work in small chunks at a time in at least some situations.
There are horizontal rotary encoders with click functionality (The component is called EVQWGD001). Unfortunately the pin layout differs from the vertical rotary encoders so you need a custom PCB or hack some custom wiring together. They're more common on split keyboards from what I've found.

You can buy a preassembled split keyboard with this from https://ergomech.store (I've been looking at purchasing one from them). There's also a seller on etsy who offers split keyboards with the horizontal encoder.
> They are literally shaking small parts of the brain until they act differently.

No, from what other comments have said, they are using ultrasound to open the blood/brain barrier so that drugs can enter the affected area. They aren't indiscriminately shaking the patient's brain and hoping for the best.
> My HN comments are not perfect prose, nor are they intended to be.

Oh well, I guess if it can't be perfect then no one has a license to tell you the reasonable reading of your words is completely different from what you meant. Improvement is only for those who don't think in binary terms.

I will say, growing up most of us have encountered that 1 kid who is just a bit weird due to the way his or her parents were raising them. I say this because that linked comment and your last paragraph display a belief of normalness that isn't normal. I'm sure it's your lived experience but I'm just as sure that's part of the problem with having parents who don't understand safety vs independence.

And as I said in the other comment, we're done here. Your thought process is all over the place and I think most of it is a difficulty to communicate and I'm not in the mood to even try.
Sorry but that drags this conversation in such a wild direction. You have gone so off track that it no longer makes sense.
>Bingo, and that's the part of AI that I think is overlooked. It might kill some jobs, but it'll never kill an entire sector like the web killed travel agencies.

To be slightly pedantic, the Web killed travel agencies for individuals who were mostly interested in booking flights, cruises, and big city hotels once making those bookings became easy on an individual level.

Companies absolutely still use corporate travel sites, for reasons good and bad.

And there are various types of specialist tour operators, arrangers of private trips, etc. who have on-the-ground knowledge of specific locations--and often won't even book things like air travel for you.

(More broadly, the Web forced travel agents of various types to add value above and beyond what a travel portal or a random travel agent could do because they were gatekeepers to the needed systems.)
Probability of an Obese Person Attaining Normal Body Weight: Cohort Study
Facebook makes over 300 requests for me just loading the main logged in page while showing me exactly 1 timeline item. Hovering my mouse over that item makes another 100 requests or so. Scrolling down loads another item at the cost of over 100 requests again. It's impressive in a perverse way just how inefficient they can be while managing to make it still work, and somewhat disturbing that their ads bring in enough money to make them extremely profitable despite it.
I agree that this helps, although I still think that in general, the default build should never do -Werror, since people may use other toolchains and it shouldn't surprise-break downstream (I'm pretty sure this is a problem Linux distros struggle with all the time..) If it does it only in your fully reproducible CI, then it should be totally fine, of course.
So when you choose your lender, you choose based on the morality of the bank and not the interest rate?

When you choose your doctor, you choose based on morality rather than what your insurance allows?

When you choose your food at the grocery store, you choose based on morality rather than the 3 different potentially immoral brands the store carries?

You seem hopelessly out of touch with actual consumer behaviors. Maybe you're one of the lucky few that has the kind of wealth that opens up options like this. But you do not represent the average persons behavior at all.
Most of the pollution in the Bay Area is actually from wood smoke. In the summer it's wildfires; in the winter it's wood stoves. A significant portion of Bay Area housing is still on wood heat, which is terrible for outdoor air pollution.
Yeah that will never happen in many countries.
Yes. The optimizer is keeping a higher precision copy. It's likely slower and requires more memory than an equivalent full precision model when it comes to training. I'd also imagine it requires a multiple of epochs to get one epoch equivalent because the forward pass will need several goes to get the right choice between three states, rather than just moving a little bit in the right direction.
They are doing it to stay competitive. Remember, cloud computing is a highly competitive market and customers can and do switch providers.

> Financial systems are inseparably computer systems. Most similarly important computer systems don’t take holidays. Google doesn’t take holidays… or doesn’t seem to, from the perspective of a typical user, at any rate.

Wouldn't it be better for users if our financial systems worked like the Google example? Why can't I as a regular retail investor trade a stock on Saturday? Why can't I move money from one bank account to another on Sunday? Imagine not being able to send E-mail on Easter because nobody at your ISP was there to push bits around or whatever these banks' excuse is?
Web app = Always on. No interruption from power outages or wifi problems. Higher bandwidth and more anonymous (if it's going to make requests).

Virtual android device in the cloud might be a great model for it since Android has good built-in security and process isolation.
Suppose you have an asset allocation strategy that is 25% US stocks, 25% international stocks, 25% real estate (REITs), 25% commodities (I'm not suggesting you do this, but this was the allocation in Roger Gibson's famous multi-asset allocation strategy paper - google it). To implement this you would want to:

1. Choose 4 different funds to represent each of those classes (e.g. an S&P 500 index fund, an MSCI EAFE fund, etc.). You want to be sure to reinvest dividends.

2. On a specific time period (i.e. once a quarter) you rebalance your portfolio - if anything has gone above 25%, you sell it so that you can buy anything that has fallen below 25%.

Many investment platforms let you essentially do this automatically these days.
There definitely is a difference. See [1] (or [2] since the original site has misconfigured TLS). Long story short, using some fairly trivial heuristics, a malicious server could change its response when it detects its output being piped to a shell rather than saved to a file. Thus, a security-minded person downloading the file (who could inspect it) would be given a clean copy, but someone less security-minded piping it straight to bash would be given the malicious copy. The security-minded person wouldn't be able to warn people not to pipe the script to a shell, since it appears safe.

Ah good. We just need to boil our placentas
From what I can see in their webpage, they charge something like 1 eur for every extra TB but apparently there's no way to set a limit (so you can be protected in the event of a DDoS), only an alert.
Probably some, but since these systems are always built with plastic parts, they likely introduce new ones as well.
Predictions have been wrong in both directions at the same time; myself, I confidently predicted in 2009 that normal people would be able to buy cars which didn't have steering wheels in… 2019.

While I'm really impressed with ChatGPT, and am one of the people who regards it as meeting my prior definition of AGI[0], I can still see its current flaws, and do wonder if this is a similar case, where the first 90% needed a major breakthrough but once that was invented anyone could do it and many wanted in on the economic opportunity… but the second 90% turned out to be just as hard, and so was the third, … and you need at least six nines[1] to really replace humans in these roles.

[0] All three letters mean different things to different people. To me: it's artificial, it's much too general to count as a narrow AI, and I count it as intelligent because the things it can do were the things I grew up thinking were signs of intelligence, like speak Latin, do algebra, and answer trivia questions, and also things I added later like 'write code' and 'pass medical and law exams'; even though it gets the answers wrong sometimes, I don't think my standard was ever "must be perfect" because nobody ever scored 100% on exams at school either.

At its best (and it's weird that it even has a best and a worst), the free version of ChatGPT has given me better code than one specific real human I've had to work with, more if you also add in the students. (And at its worst, it gives me stuff that doesn't compile and wouldn't do what I asked even if I fixed the compiler errors).

[1] Assuming a driver is making 1 decision per second that has a serious wrong answer, it would take eight nines to have just under one serious accident in a lifetime of 1-hour-each-way commutes, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year for 40 years. I suspect the actual time between opportunities for serious mistakes is less than that, but probably at least once per minute even on an empty road.

For an LLM, I don't know exactly how good they'll really need to be, all I can guess at is that they're not going to have more than one opportunity to seriously mess up per token.
I think ONNX does what you say.

No, in that case, timing is.

FWIW, I'm operating under a dystopian and pessimistic assumption that any civilization will destroy itself within a few thousand years of discovering radio. At some point, there will be massive wars over dwindling resources and eventually a weapon (or the combined power of multiple weapons) causes so much damage that it ends up wiping out all life on the planet.

This means that a civilization will only broadcast a signal for other planets to pick up for a few thousand years. In a galactic scale, that's incredibly short. It's basically the blink of an eye.
Can you give an example of this? Even if you say something indicating that you need a moment, they will just ignore you?
Julian May's Galactic Milieu might be that kind of thing. Start at Jack's book, maybe add Rogation's book as flashbacks. Th Rebellion and fury's antics give a good framework to let a bunch of writers add more material in between.
For the US, "where does the shortstop play" is a pretty good one. Some people might get through K-12 without learning that, but surely not many.
are you telling me it's not clear to you how requiring insurance by law guarantees more people carry insurance which guarantees more accidents have an entity worth suing for compensation?
More likely those will join EBCDIC as anachronisms that survive every new revolution in technology.
The wikipedia article is a decent high level overview: [1]

"Content-Centric Networking (CCN) diverges from the IP-based, host-oriented Internet architecture by prioritizing content, making it directly addressable and routable. In CCN, endpoints communicate based on named data rather than IP addresses. This approach is a part of information-centric networking (ICN) architecture and involves the exchange of content request messages (termed "Interests") and content return messages (termed "Content Objects")."

It seems well suited for a distributed p2p style network in my mind, but its definitely not anywhere near my area of expertise.

Weird to know some US peeps don't know it!
You chose a portfolio distribution, 75% NASDAQ 25% S&P.

After 1 year, you look at your portfolio, and because of market movements, your portfolio is now 81% NASDAQ and 19% S&P.

So you sell some NASDAQ and buy some S&P to rebalance to 75% / 25%.

Rebalancing can be any mix of securities or assets (or both). You decide how you want your wealth distributed, and you rebalance to stay within those levels.
Within the lifetime of the universe, all futures are possible. I don't find it particularly interesting whether that future is directly a result of us, or some completely identical hominid that evolved the same way on the other side of the galaxy.
...of course it's pronounced "Chye-lie".

I can't talk, though, I come from Ohio where we have a city named "Versailles" that's pronounced "vur-SAYLES".
I'm in an EU country where this is a thing (Austria), and IT workers do have their own national labor union here (like most professions), but strikes that impact the business are not allowed by law, because that would actually give workers leverage and we can't have that in capitalism, we just have to give the peasants the impression that their opinion maters.

So all the IT workers could do was parade around the capital holding up signs asking for a wage raise matching inflation, but not turn off infrastructure or leave it unattended to rot/crash and loose their employers' money, as that would be illegal, even though that would be immensely effective at getting their demands met.

So obviously, the protest and the union gave the IT workers fuck all in the end, resulting in a pitiful average wage increase below inflation levels, therefore an actual wage loss YoY. But hey, at least we can say we have unions on paper to look out for us, while IT workers here with Master's degrees earn less than janitors in Palo Alto, Cupertino or Mountain View.

Toothless unions are worth exactly jack shit. If the law prohibits them from causing monetary losses to companies (the only language they understand), then they might as well not exist.

From what I read here, I think only France and Sweden know how to do unions and strikes right in order to get what they want.
It's fair for Amazon to not want to be singled out. Consumer protection aside, the EU is notorious for treating American businesses (which obviously are multinationals) more harshly than their European competitors.

Amazon is definitely going to run up against labor laws, but this is ridiculous; lobbying is an important part of the democratic process because it brings experts into the political process.
California's fast food law exempts Panera Gov. Newsom's relationship
Or simply go to a company that does embrace remote.

I don't see why we need a union to force companies to be remote.

Just don't work for those companies.

Amazon tried this and I believe reversed the decision because so many devs quit.

Now their warehouse workers do need a union from the sounds of things.

Tea isn't usually run through a filter (I make mine with filtered water, but I'd have to add a step where I pour the water through a filter before brewing). Only some coffee is - espresso and french press aren't). Not so sure about beer, I would guess many brewers filter the water coming into their tanks?
Good points, but this is not something you can solve with a recipe. Investigate, talk to people and make sure you are solving actual problems and prioritizing the right tasks.

This is an extremely crucial step that you must do first: familiarize yourself with the system, its uses and the reasons it works like it does. Most things will be there for a reason, even if not written to the highest standard. Other parts might at first sight seem very problematic yet be only minor issues.

Be careful with number 4 and 5. Do not rush to fix or rewrite things just because they look like they can be improved. If it is not causing issues and it is not central to the system, better spend your resources somewhere else.

Get the team to adopt good practices, both in the actual code and in the process. Observe the team and how they work and address the worst issues first, but do not overwhelm them. They may not even be aware of their inefficiencies (e.g. they might consider complete rebuilds as something normal to do).
"Current visualization software, such as UCSF ChimeraX6, can only render one or a few protein structures at the atomic level."

Lots of current visualization software is focused on visualizing a single protein structure (for example, ChimeraX). New visualizing and modeling systems are being developed to go up in scale to cellular scenes and even whole cells. For example, systems like le Muzic et al.'s CellView (2015) [1] are capable of rendering atomic resolution whole cell datasets like this in realtime: https://ccsb.scripps.edu/gallery/mycoplasma_model/

Assuming banks, and other business or subsystems, are open by default is a bit silly when you have to interact with more than a handful.

Why not just assume they are not available on any given day unless proven otherwise?

Wait. the main mechanism of concerns from microplastics is the body is from leaching of toxic chemicals once in the body. Wouldn't boiling increase the leaching of the chemicals into the water up front?
"Of the Arabic excisions in the new “Dune” films, two in particular stand out. One is of jihad, Herbert’s term for the fervent crusade led by Paul Atreides with the Fremen against the oppressive interstellar regime. Herbert saw jihad as the embodiment of messianic and religious passion—a force that is socially transformative and potentially liberating, but also dangerous and to be feared: “The ancient way, the tried and certain way that rolled over everything in its path.” Though now the word is overwhelmingly associated with Islamic extremism and terrorism, the original “Dune” offers a nuanced consideration of the concept that goes beyond simplistic and negative portrayals."

I do not think the original Dune books did not portray the jihad in a good way. It was the way that led Paul to triumph over the Imperator, but it was also the path, that lead him to burn worlds and establish a cruel theocracy. Which was only hinted at in the first books, but showed completely in Dune Messiah. Which is why many did not like it anymore as the glorious hero was dismantled.
We use an Aquasana under-sink filter for our drinking water, it removes microplastics (and other stuff):

Decentralized social media sounds better in theory, but in practice is less effective.

And then the union folks do everything to keep the power to themselves, and if you are not a member paying the union, they are not going to "protect" you.
One thing to consider is that hardware companies that benefit from a boom don't always do so well in the long term. Lots of investors in Nortel and JDS Uniphase learned that the hard way in the early 2000s.
