"and for what?", the what is to send a message to everyone not to screw around with Nintendo.
Whether that's morally right is another question.
Completely agreed, this is pretty basic git that I would expect experienced developers to have down. This isn’t even a UI vs CLI argument, it’s the same idea in either case.

I’ll keep an open mind, but if you’re going to shake up a workflow as solid and well understood as git, you better have a damn good offering.
> Hold up, Yuzu was an actual company and had a Patreon bringing in over $29k a month? Yeah um, Nintendo has been bad but that's a choice for a current console. It is no surprise Nintendo went after them.

LOL

Yeah, as much as I am an anti-fan of Nintendo, it sounds like this company was asking to get sued.

If I gave these requirements to my parents they'd go to a random computer shop and come back with probably a random 13 or 15 inch DELL. And that's what millions of people get at work as a standard supplied computer.

I am not saying the mac isn't good at filling that niche, just that people who really don't care about computers also don't care if it's a mac, and will probably be fine with any recent default configuration machine from a major maker.

PS:
> bring your Mac to the next Apple Store

You need an Apple Store. In my experience people have come to terms with shipping devices and waiting for repairs. Cloud sync helps a lot in that respect, as keeping another computer around has become decently manageable.
I think System76 also has a pretty simple evaluation process. You mostly just select the form factor you want and then configure it. Also, unlike Apple, they make it easy to get a machine exactly tailored to your needs. They don't force you to pay $$$ for an expensive processor when you just want a bit larger SSD and some extra memory...
No, but Apple tends to have faster RAM (way more bandwidth), faster SSDs, and macOS tends to have a better memory compression algorithm.
when i was in high school i did an internship at a family friend's ASP.NET shop; we used VSS and I once got a call from an irate coworker who shouted me down for minutes for keeping a file locked after I wasn't using it until I started crying. I wasn't the one who had left the file locked this time; i'd done it in the past and he assumed it was my fault again.

sure do wish someone had checked those boxes for him!

sometimes it's still a surprise to me that I decided this is the career i still wanted to pursue after that experience but i haven't been shouted at like that since then.
You jest, but if we are talking average it would not be hyperbole.

But what I want to add to my last point: Most performance pitfalls I have seen are not due to choosing wrong algorithms, but bad implementations driven by messy implementation and low maintainability. Python and JS are absolutely among the worst of the bunch and weak dynamic typing is a terrible burden to maintain and scale.

Mind you, it depends on which domain we are talking about. If you are working close to the metal and you are using something like PyTorch, your performance is indeed determined by choosing the right algorithms and language overhead is less significant in comparison. But most software is just moving things around in memory and do a little networking.
This is an important question. However, I'd like to point out that similar biases can easily exist for non-ML, hand-tuned algorithms. Even in the latter case test sets and often even "training" and "validation" sets are used for finding good parameters. Any of these can be a source of bias, as can the ears of evaluators making these decisions.

It's true that bias questions often come up in ML context because fundamentally these algorithms do not work without data, but _all_ algorithms are designed by people, and _many_ can involve data in setting their parameters. Both of which can be sources of bias. ML is more known for it, I believe, because the _inductive_ biases are less than in traditional algorithms, and therefore are more keen to adopt biases present in the dataset.

I feel like you are being pedantic here. If we all agree that an LLM being trained on copyrighted material without authorization is a copyright-laundering machine, then the consequence is that copyright is dead.

I don't really care who we should theoretically punish: once it's out there, it's out there for good. Maybe it's already too late, and the LLM people just broke copyright for everybody (or worse: they broke it for honest people). So much for making the world a better place.

Argument by down votes only tells something about the people down voting and those who give credit to such behaviour. Let's see who can boo the loudest!

Yes Spotify didn't want to invest time, money and effort to win customers in the free market, so they went to the bureaucrats to force Apple to let them get access to their customer base. And the bureaucrats got to steal some juicy billions for themselves, because this fine is not going to consumers.

It's kind of ironic if you consider what kind of business model Spotify themselves have, but this probably goes over the heads of down voting hackers.
Oh wow. This is all https://www.tremor.so/ dark mode.
I'm still using an original M1 Air and the thing is used nearly all day for light casual web usage, and I only plug it in about two times per week -- the energy efficiency is no joke. This kind of battery life really spoils you and when you see other laptops that nearly require the plug charging all the time, tethered, you realize what a big deal these M chips are for true portability.
Faster, More Secure Photonic Chip Boosts AI Training
From the POV of someone adjacent to defense stuff, the DoD has been in a bit of a tech-curious analysis cycle. They're probably not interested in putting guns on this thing as currently outfitted, but rather they want to see if this novel approach has any potential applications worth further developing. It's not a particularly capable system, but the USAF and USN are currently looking at a whole slew of VTOL systems and this one is both much simpler and much cheaper than any of them. If an arrangement like this is fielded it's probably not as a human rated system but as a large forward deployed combat or logistics drone.
Nope but that could be interesting
This is smarter than what I was imagining.

So I come up with a username, on my client side it is hashed and Signal's kv store is checked to make sure no one claimed the hash yet.

Next I tell the username to my peer via some other secure channel or IRL and their client sends the hashed username to this kv store to do the usual things.

I guess the hash still points at the phone number behind the scenes though?
Assuming you have a copy, is it straightforward to compile, or does it require a just-so build environment?
I remain unconvinced that phone manufacturers are unable to read the screen. Username obscurity is neat for p2p privacy, but does nothing against "the cops" if you're doing something they don't want you to.

> From evidence I have seen, there is no magic data structure that can help resolve conflicts. Pretty much period.

CRDTs (and similar algorithms) can do a whole lot better than git does today. They simply have more information to work with about what changed, and where. Git has to reconstruct that from re-diffing snapshots - which is always a lossy process.

It hasn’t been done because until recently (the last few years), CRDTs were considered too slow for practical use. It’s just recently that we as a species figured out how to make them fast and lightweight.
I feel an overwhelming itch to fire up KSP and show them how it’s done!

Yeah, Cassation Court is a sort of sub-Supreme Court.
It has the ability to break rulings (French casser, hence the name) if the law wasn't well done, or if the wrong law was applied to the case, or if some judicial norms (laws, basic rights, jurisprudence) were not balanced correctly in a ruling ; It does not rule on the facts of the case, only on the way it was judged.

Rulings of the Cassation court are usually applicable as case law, which is much less common in continental legal systems than it is in Common Law legal systems.

By the way, the French legal system has two main circuits ("orders") : the judiciary order (penal and civil) and the administrative law order, which handles disputes and trials between government entities (local, regional, or national), and between government entities and private entities (in most cases). The equivalent of the Cassation court in the administrative order is the Conseil d'Etat.

I'm one of those industry long timers who can and will use just about anything, and has occasionally over the years owned macs of various form factors. For the past decade thanks to corporate work I've been entirely Windows and Linux based.

I picked my daughter up an m1 macbook air about a year ago. It was an absolute delight of a machine to use. Light weight, no fans, no hot bits during general usage, long battery life, a screen that didn't upset my eyes, and importantly the OS just got out of the way during general usage.

I wound up buying myself an m1 air about 6 months later.

My only gripe is that I wish it had more RAM, but even then the unified memory approach has made my expected ram usage vs actual ram usage a bit of an odd thing. It consistently uses less ram than I'd normally anticipate. That said, more ram by default would help fill in those times when I do load it up.
For real. I can't believe how little improvement there has been to Siri over the years.
First law of u***net, is you don't talk about u***net
I'm pretty sure the true reason behind this lawsuit was that the Yuzu people were running a company selling (on Patreon) "Early Access" to emulator features and access to a private Discord where there was A LOT of user-uploaded Switch ROM dumps floating around and the moderators (employed by the company charging for access) were extremely happy to look the other way.

Also, doesn't Yuzu itself include pre-decrypted ROM dumps from the actual Switch hardware, like for example the OS bootloader ? It's one thing to build an emulator. It's a very different thing to run a company by facilitating piracy. Also, this judgement probably won't financially ruin the Yuzu devs, because they (as persons) were not sued. But it will probably tank their liability-limited company named Tropic Haze LLC. I have a strong feeling that if you'd post lossless rips of pre-release cinema movies to a private (but paid) discord, you'd get a rather similar treatment ;)

EDIT: I mean even the name choice "Tropic Haze" kind of hints at sailing the high seas ;)

EDIT2: Straight from the filing: "The lead developer of Yuzu [..] has publicly acknowledged most users pirate prod.keys and games online"

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this issue is worse on Sonoma than Ventura, from what I have read so far.
I tried a Light Phone as well and I found that it made texting so difficult it was basically useless to me as a phone. I then tried a basic flip phone which was more useful but ultimately still added too much friction to my life to be worth it. Now I'm back to my iPhone. It would be great if Apple created the equivalent of those minimalist Android launchers that allow you to remove distracting apps and simplify the UI. At the end of the day a phone is a tool and none of the minimalist phones currently in existence work well enough to be a useful tool for me.

Yep, I see it as latency vs throughput optimisation, particularly wrt memory subsystem. What I was pointing out is, x86 is not well suited to GPU execution; Intel tried that with Larrabee. Moreover, in the latest generation Nvidia chips you have 72-96mb L2 cache and 2.5ghz+ clock speed, so it's remarkably capable per-thread.

At some point, and I think 256 cores might be the ballpark, you're committing to using so many threads that you're probably mostly interested in high throughput. (I'm writing commercial path tracers so my bias is obvious!)
That's hilarious. Maybe we'll move towards something like "72/288 cores in use" or "25% cores used"

Super cool. I always enjoy reading about systems that challenge, well, "ossified" assumptions. An OS not providing a shell, for example? Madness! ... or is it genius, if the OS has a specific purpose...? It's thought-provoking, if nothing else.

I'm a bit skeptical of parts. For instance, the "init" binary being less than 400 lines of golang - wow! And sure, main.go [1] is less than 400 lines and very readable. Then you squint at the list of imported packages, or look to the left at the directory list and realize main.go isn't nearly the entire init binary.

That `talosctl list` invocation [2] didn't escape my notice either. Sure, the base OS may have only a handful of binaries - how many of those traditional utilities have been stuffed into the API server? Not that I disagree with the approach! I think every company eventually replaces direct shell access with a daemon like this. It's just that "binary footprint" can get a bit funny if you have a really sophisticated API server sitting somewhere.

Oh for sure, there's a lot of overlap between traditional relational databases and ECS designs. As always, in the end the hard part is to match the performance requirements.

If you squint enough, most ECS out there are pretty much very specialized relational databases that trade off flexibility in favor of performance for common gamedev use cases (very wide joins, very deep hierarchies (e.g. transform trees), full-table filters, etc).

Rerun's ECS goes one step further and makes time a first-class citizen, allowing for efficient joins across different components across different timestamps.

This is what makes it possible to only log diffs in Revy (we only snapshot the components that were modified during the last frame), rather than having to full snapshots every frame, which would be prohibitively expensive (both time and space). Rerun then stitches back everything together during visualization, in real-time!
Right, this is why the Proper radio calls for a lot of systems have mandatory read back steps, so that we're sure two humans have achieved a shared understanding regardless of how sure they are of what they heard. It not only matters whether you heard correctly, it also matters whether you understood correctly.

e.g. train driver asks for an "Up Fast" block. His train is sat on Down Fast, the Up Fast is adjacent, so then he can walk on the (now safe) railway track and inspect his train at track level, which is exactly what he, knowing the fault he's investigating, was taught to do.

Signaller hears "Up Fast" but thinks duh, stupid train driver forgot he's on Down Fast. He doesn't need a block, the signalling system knows the train is in the way and won't let the signaller route trains on that section. So the Up Fast line isn't made safe.

If they leave the call here, both think they've achieved understanding but actually there is no shared understanding and that's a safety critical mistake.

If they follow a read-back procedure they discover the mistake. "So I have my Up Fast block?" "You're stopped on Down Fast, you don't need an Up Fast block". "I know that, I need Up Fast. I want to walk along the track!" "Oh! I see now, I am filling out the paperwork for you to take Up Fast". Both humans now understand what's going on correctly.
'TIme travel'. Ah, capturing the state and rolling back. Something a Z-Machine interpreter had 40 years ago I think, if not more, with the 'undo' command at the prompt :D.

One day the OS' shells will have an undo command for everything, but they will waste tons of CPU cycles. And not by virtualizing. Altough if you run your OS under a light hypervisor such as xen, that funcionality might be able to be called from the userland and some kernel driver/hardware hook. Who knows.

> Anything even remotely within Macbook vicinity costs the same as a Macbook anyway.

The opposite ("macs are overpriced") is something I've never been able to understand. Back in 2013 when I bought my current laptop, the mac book air was the thinnest, lightest, longest battery life, nicest keyboard, and a bunch of superlatives I don't remember, and it was somewhat over £1000. The closest non-mac "ultrabooks" I could find in shops at the time cost the same, and felt like cheap rubbish. And this laptop just refuses to die, and handles my workload just fine after all these years. I'm dreading the day I have to replace it.
I use embedded Rust for my day job. We keep our third-party dependencies purposefully minimal, but I adore that they're there when I need to reach for them. Like, we just needed a basic TCP stack to get our PoC up and running, so I can just grab smoltcp and be off to the races. Being written in C or C++ wouldn't obviate our need for a TCP stack, I'd still either need to get it from somewhere else or write it myself. And even if I can't use a third-party dependency for whatever reason (e.g. if it doesn't support no_std mode), I can still usually repurpose their existing test suite to give me confidence in my port or reimplementation.
I don't think so. Any language that had event handlers would be just as "async" as the OG javascript. First class thread support matters because sometimes it matters which thread the event/continuation runs on.

There's also this funny/cheesy poem, quoted in full in the second Harold and Kumar movie:

“The Square Root of Three”(written by David Feinberg)

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

Excuse me if I read that wrong, but I'd be curious why you think label "talking at" vs "talking with" is semantics.

I see a significant difference between the distribution of behaviors and utterances when I'm "talking at" vs "talking with". There's also a significant difference in response I seem to receive from people when I employ one distribution of behaviors vs the other. But, maybe you see it differently?
I think he meant "litigation" which is quite transparent and can mean arbitration.
