But is it accelerating or just increasing at a constant rate? The second derivative of the graph looks like ~0 to me. We need to reduce the rate to 0 (or below) which means deceleration.
Yeah there is really a lack of good quality of life tools on Linux.
Well, that's excellent news. It now means competitors can now concentrate on coming with an alternative, instead of coming with a half-arsed solution. Looking at you, AMD.
This. At first glance from title of this submission I thought it's an astrology app.
I suspect it has to do with the effect of scale. Apple operates with limited number of models and that means they get volume for each mould and assembly lines. If you did 20000 laptops of one model versus 2 million you can definitely can put way more thought into every detail and that translates into higher quality.
Eh, Apple was happy to squeeze even before then.

I had a 2019 cheesegrater Mac Pro. With Catalina, I was able to drive two 4K screens at 144Hz in HDR10, because Catalina apparently supported DSC 1.4.

Then they introduced the ProDisplay XDR with Big Sur which had people agog at "how were they able to drive this 6K display given the bandwidth limitations?"

Well, the answer is because they absolutely nerfed/bastardized DSC 1.4 from Big Sur (and it's maybe only been updated in Monterey? Unsure, I no longer have the screens - ironically I bought an XDR) to make it happen with some proprietary magic: those same screens could now only be driven at 60Hz in HDR10 or 95Hz in SDR.

Proof in the pudding was that my monitors (LG27GN950-B) actually allowed you to change the advertised/supported DSC version, and when I "downgraded" the monitors to DSC 1.2, performance actually improved, and allowed 120Hz SDR and 95Hz HDR.

This happened with many many users, across many screen types.

Apple studiously ignored it, and may still be. They simply don't care if you're not using an Apple display.
It does a full page reload at the moment. I'm about to start work on a full SPA mode that will function more like Turbo though.
Great point! I have a tendency toward co-dependency so understanding that being needed is different than internal validation is important. Being choosy about when and with whom one is listening is crucial. Burnout is real and always listening is a fast track to it. Anyone, including the listener, can tap the breaks and slow or stop things if they need to for any reason at all.

I suppose it was matter of time (and budget), since Walmart is known “Java shop”, and they want a singular platform?
Maybe there could be some utility for a decently general Graph type that can be used for high-level testing and verification. Maybe you could implement your efficient graph per-problem and then validate it with a more high-level and declarative type. You would have to implement some isomorphism between the types though.
In case of PAL video we don't see two duplicate frames, but we still see two different frames (fields) at the same time. That's the "double image" I meant.
It is interesting that they achieved any positive results with prebiotics. The animal study evidence suggests that these are weak interventions compared to fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) from a young individual or flagellin immunization. Weak in the sense that they don't last long for one dose, whereas both FMT and flagellin immunization are essentially years-long to permanent effects, and also weak in the sense of a small effect size on the gut microbiome and health measures compared to FMT and flagellin immunization.

In principle it should be possible to produce some sort of one-time high dose oral probiotic that produces results that are in the same ballpark for effect size and duration as FMT. In practice, it doesn't look like anyone is rushing to get that done, and it might turn out to be very expensive to manufacture 100-200+ distinct microbial populations into a probiotic mix. No-one seems to know whether it would take that many, or whether there are a lynchpin few dozen species one could focus on to get an 80/20 outcome. But that sounds like a question that could be answered in the next decade or two at the present pace.
I wonder how it's not a trivial workaround to have a separate, anonymous project with the sole scope of disassembling the code (and thus violating the license), while acting as knowledge source for emulators.

This way, emulators wouldn't be violating any license, just using technical details learned from third party sources. The anonymous project itself would be attacked by Nvidia, and in case this succeeded, replicas of the repo would probably pop up quickly and easily. But good luck having a chinese Gitee repo closed for american copyright infringement!
Even with direct mutual references between some node type this can be represented in a lazy functional language such as Haskell pretty easily without mutation.
Fascinating. I wonder how results would look like in a longitudinal gut microbiome study taken over years instead of weeks. I would think that the length of treatment would make a difference, but my knowledge is limited.
My wife has been complaining to me about how she regularly gets the "choose which application to terminate" dialog on her Air. I knew in my heart that 8GB wouldn't be future proof, but I underestimated how fast it would be a problem. She pretty much just runs Safari and Libreoffice Calc too, nothing that should really tax the machine.
Ive been thinking about something like this. A mathematical definition of a function such that we can search it. Imagine we had something like "Find a function that fits this signature -> Input arr[numbers] out-> for every x in arr, x2>x1.
Non-zero probability I think, one interesting measure of overfitting I've seen is contamination (where the model has seen the exact questions it is being evaluated on) see stats at https://hitz-zentroa.github.io/lm-contamination/
I can do 4 monitors with my lid closed with my Dell XPS 13. It is crazy to see an Apple Laptop that costs $2000+ cannot do a laptop that costs $1000. People with money really don't know how to shop.
It's one of those things I rarely need, but really need when I do need it.

Commit numbers are an API and it's frustrating when I write something like "Fixed in commit xyz" or "Broken in commit xyz" or "Tested manually in xyz" and then after a rebase (Not a private rebase I asked for, but part of the CI routine), my comment makes no sense and Github says "We can't find that commit". You can paste it in manually but the context is lost, it's not in `git log --graph` anymore.
Should we ban ransom payments?
question for experienced go devs: how do you deal with the lack of optional type or narrowing?

from what i understand, pointers become used for that purpose instead (in addition to mutability). which then means that when you get a pointer you don’t know for what reason it is used, so you have to check it even if it was checked higher up in the callstack already.

i wouldn’t actually mind the fact that you can forget to check for nil, i can accept a panic here and there, pretty simple to fix..

the issue i am finding is that it "pollutes" the code, since you end up doing the check more than once for the same value.

if atleast you could only check once and then the compiler would know (ie optionals, or narrowing like TS). ideally you would dereference after the check, but you can’t because pointers are used for mutability AND optionals

in other words, are there any tricks so that you only have to check once?

I'll also go as far to say, if you support Nintendo here. You also are supporting Apple shutting down Asahi linux.

All Apple will need to claim is that Asahi is bypassing some "client side protection", and Asahi is shut down.
Whatever floats your boat...I wish it supported comments though.
Still medical staff looks down on the IT crowd.
> Where I disagree is over "the organisers couldn't find enough". No way, they could have "found enough".

It depends at lot on what the definition of "inclusive" Hanselman and other speakers were using. There are indeed situations where people are expected to have female participation that's well above their rate of participation.

This tracks well with what women in tech have told me: they're constantly bombarded with requests for them to speak. But they're quite reluctant because they feel (often correctly) that they're primarily being invited on account of inclusivity quotas like Hanselman's.
I feel like the difference here should be fairly obvious.

One is an open protocol, and one is proprietary technology. AWS even at one point supported the protocol.

I don't know if it's still a thing but it wasn't terribly uncommon to find Linux distros and other legitimate things shared through that protocol.

Here we are talking about proprietary technology by Nintendo. On a system that they are currently selling and making money on.

Given how much money they were bring in on patrion, it isn't much different than if they tried to make a physical knock off switch that could run switch games.
Maybe just my aging eyes but the warning to HN visitors of grey text on black background is HIGHLY unreadable.
Yep, an ipad w/ a *nix OS and fileystem where I can run arbitrary code
Appreciate the candid comments and opinions here. I'll break it down and go over them -
1. Having access to data is not the problem we're after (most companies have the first-party data in-house). The key challenges are around having a platform that fundamentally separates strings (copies) from code, and lets you update them effortlessly, based on inferences from that data. So, I am not sure I understand why this is a Google/Meta product?
2. UX is not the value add from this product - agree with you on it (even if it appeared to be the emphasis). The ability to make scientific edits without re-deployments and accelerating continuous iterations based on user feedback, is what we are going after.
3. Curious why you think A/B test results are fictional? Getting stat sig results is probably the surest way to conclude results. Perhaps there's a different angle you are talking about here?
4. RE: don't A/B test at all. Given the number of users that get exposed to every change a consumer company as large as Twitter makes, not testing can be disastrous, which brings up another great point - Large companies are struggling to use all the (generic) gen AI content today, because it needs to be performance tested before it can be placed in front of millions of users, and that's not scalable today.
5. You may be alluding to another good point - copy is as much as art, as it is science, and writing it well takes context, quality, and expertise. That's something we hold a strong opinion on, and we don't see this or any other tool eliminating that expertise. The goal is very much to streamline and augment those workflows.
It's not only security, it's correctness. It's about your software staying running and doing the right thing.

I can believe HFT developers think they don't need it.
Steam Deck does this. It's a touch screen + joystick (btw I love the double-trackpad onscreen keyboard, better even than using the touch screen), that becomes a KDE desktop when docked.

Well, sort of. Under normal operation it requires a (fast) system reset to switch between desktop and "handheld" modes. However, you can open Big Picture (the handheld mode) from desktop mode, it's just not as gaming-focused when you do it this way.

Anyway, I would install SteamOS on a tablet form-factor in a heartbeat if I was looking for this experience.
Brevity is the soul of wit. Efficient design takes serious discipline - hard when optional but forced when resource constrained.
>personally I would still prefer an 8gb M2 with small storage

And it would specifically have to be an M2 since they upped it to 256GB minimum. I have the lowest end M1, and the tiny SSD is a constant pain when combined with the lack of RAM.
IANAL. So basically the assumption language means there is no rule either that APIs are copyrightable or not, yet...

Could have been worse i guess.
I consider M1 as already supporting two external displays if you're using a 49" DQHD monitor. :) Mine (Samsung CRG9) is the exact same resolution as two 27" 1440p monitors.

Highly recommend, after switching and getting used to window management software (Rectangle is great and open source) it's hard to imagine going back. There are use cases I just can't do with a gap in the middle of my display. Like being able to take up the whole screen with my IDE when needed or treat center center of my display as my 27" monitor and 1/4 sides as split 27".

Photoshop for iPad shipped in 2019 and still to this day is half-baked garbage that you can’t do anything productive with. Photopea is more useful on the iPad and it’s a web app.
Feature set of Postgres on AWS in the article omits Babelfish feature. It is definitely worth mentioning, at least for some unfortunate people who are stuck with SQL Server, but would like to use Postgres as all others do. When you can use BCP or OPENQUERY to move your data to Postgres, instead of COPY - this can make a big difference for some of us.
I guess the fishy thing was the Patreon, which I was not aware of.

Will be a couple more days before I have time to reply, thanks for your patience.
The problem is that it’s probably often not a lot cheaper. Most of the high end gpus have comparatively little bandwidth over pcie (that you’d need to use to store the context on a nvme for example). The cost there would scale with length too so you wouldn’t necessarily save more in that situation either. I think if you used a small enough gqa ratio and you knew for sure you would reuse the weights it could work, but my suspicion is that in general it would just be cheaper to recalculate.
You get a segmentation violation if you try writing to a read-only page as in variables in a .text segment.

Are we talking about different things? I'm writing Rust too (and decades of C) and feel I'm missing what you're describing, perhaps.
Honestly if you don't see the point with your use case go for the cheaper option.
True, but the example was just an example. Buying a game on PC and making it run on a PS5 - why would something like that ever be illegal?
> The main problem with the non-Apple laptop market is that there is a mind-boggling number of confusing models, SKUs, processor/gpu variants, etc., and wildly variable physical quality control that confuse consumers and leave them unhappy. This is the flip side of choice in prioritizing, say, gaming performance over battery life while optimizing price or vice-versa.

This is 100% it, Lenovo has been killing it lately with their Yoga/Slim series, but for every laptop they have that competes with a MacBook, they also have a myriad of other options that are just e-waste. At the end of the day, the average consumer is not going to do the same kind of research that a tech enthusiast might do, and Apple has a somewhat simple catalog (although incredibly overpriced once you step out of the entry configs).
I don't know about any standards, just about software that tries to support as many proprietary interfaces as possible (and doesn't have support for plenty of hardware). Have I missed something?
What's extremely absurd is that most models in the x86 space seem to have gone backwards on screen resolution.

My 5 year old Lenovo Carbon X1 14" is 2560x1440 while I can't buy a current X1 with anything above 1920x1200 for any price. WTF?
As far as I can tell, this person’s qualifications are that he has a substack newsletter. His thread omits a lot of information on this topic, and he winds up concluding with a ad plugging a company he’s affiliated with. I’m beyond words.
> my work machine with 32GB of RAM is constantly being eaten alive by svchost.exe and the only thing I can do is reboot once a day

Maybe you're self-employed and unsuccessful in troubleshooting this yourself, but that sounds like a five-minutes-with-a-first-line-support-technician problem.

If you don't have a tech support department to turn to (or if they are incompetent), investigate the process with ProcessExplorer from Sysinternals to find out what that service host process is running and go from there.

The industry is still on Windows because it's easier to manage in a corporate setting. And usually better for software compatibility.
At least on my MBA, 50-60 GB is taken up by the system itself, so 2 games really.
I'm just thinking more in terms of hardware. Trackpad, keyboard, display, hinges, ports, support, battery life-- all of those (in my experience) tend to either be poor out of the box or decay rapidly for many machines. I've used an "enterprise" HP laptop that's just a couple years old recently-- the battery is totally cooked and it feels like it's made out of takeout containers.

Nice comparison, but I would have found it more interesting and closer to reality if they enable HA.
It's a common POV on this site and I don't get it at all. All I can figure is there are a bunch of folks who think the only useful thing you can do with computers is make software for computers, so if a computer's anything less than excellent for that specific purpose, it's just a toy.

Meanwhile everything important in my actual life that involves a computer takes place on my phone (an iPhone, the greatest bogey-man for that crowd, as far as I can tell) or on some purpose-specific device of one sort or another. Zero percent of it happens on a "real" computer—their role in my personal life is entirely toy-like.
Am I the only one who is bothered by the cut-out for the webcam and the rounded corners of the screen?
Fortunately, laptops are just toys for me, and I save a lot of money by not buying one from Apple anymore.
Honestly, the biggest thing that concerns me with using Rust for embedded is the size of the crates. We were looking to do some packages for a product, and the Rust packages were huge compared to the C++ ones. Granted, this was mostly because the C++ ones could use .so's, while Rust had to compile those into the crate, but this is a huge issue when doing OTA updates.
some grapevine reports indicate yuzu paid reviewers with early access to some games for pre-retail dumps that were then used to have speedy day1 compat.

it could be wrong, totk just leaked a week before release.
>emulating a current console is not about preservation. It just isn't

So we should all just wait until they stop selling a console before working to emulate it?

Just imagine if they had this attitude when it came to reverse engineering IBM PC's bios.
I'm shocked the car doesn't refuse to work if it doesn't have a network connection - one positive there!
Claude has a specialized calculation feature that doesn't use model inference. Just FYI.
I solve these problems by: 1) only ever buying machines without fans; 2) barely ever touching a mouse; and 3) using my phone for speakers and camera... all three of which I was doing even when I used to use a Mac as fans have always sucked, I am a software developer and don't need or want a mouse, and Apple's laptop cameras have always been much worse than the phones in their phones AND meeting software tends to do dumb things if you screen share and try to just be in the meeting at the same time (and do it is often better to have an external camera device off to the side).

I then just have to buy any laptop that: 1) doesn't weigh much; 2) doesn't have a fan (this is so much more difficult than it should be it is insane); and 3) has a good enough monitor... I care a lot about resolution and brightness but it might be I don't care enough about color accuracy as I am a software developer and so honestly barely have much use for more than 16 colors and mostly look at photos, again, on my phone (which is also my camera and my media device in general as it is simply better at that so this makes sense). If you are a graphics designer, though, I get it... but weren't they always Apple's core market?
Looks like a great side project, congrats on launching. My basic feedback is that you should set expectations on the project page by answering the following questions:

- Why would someone use this instead of Airflow/Cadence/Temporal/Databuilderframework?

- What does this look like when it's used? Most frameworks provide some kind of example project, you should too.

- Related, but more specifically, what does the `IDataStore` interface contract mean? Beyond the two functions that I have to implement, are there any considerations related to the overall performance/scalability/durability of the system? Would it make sense to use a disk-backed store, or Redis, or Postgres?

- How do I observe the system? Which workflows are running, which have failed, what the current state is, etc. Are there metrics? Logs?

All of this is based on the assumption you want people to adopt this framework. If it's just a cool side project, that's fine too, but you should probably try to set that expectation in the README.

> Domestic flights between Dallas-Fort Worth and Washington Dulles airports were operated by Braniff with its own cockpit and cabin crews

Presumably own cockpit crew, but I had an instant vision of a replaceable cockpit module that was swapped out at Dulles.

Operating as an American owned airline between Dallas and Washington allowed them to take Dallas-Washington passengers, rather than only Dallas-Europe passengers. This was essential for the economics of the flight to work. At the time BA and AF had 3rd and 4th freedoms, and possibly 5th, but were not allowed to fly passengers on solely domestic itineraries -- a process called "Cabotage".
