I'm not 100% sure but I would.make an educated guess that that cluster in the first image for example is a sample of scalable clusters, so throwing more hardware at it could bring improvements but sooner or later the cost to improvements will call for an optimization or rewrite as you call it, so a bit of both usually. It seems a bit of a balancing act really!
The lack of information renders such speculation necessarily vacuous, and it quickly degrades into dueling assertions of worldviews. There are lots of websites where that sort of thing runs unchecked. To the extent this isn't one, that's one of the reasons I prefer this one.
"On November 23, French-Canadian outlet Tabloïd released a video investigation about Toy Monster, a channel linked to Webs and Tiaras. They confronted the videos' creators – based out of the south shore of Quebec City – who refused to be interviewed. One of the actors featured in the videos anonymously stated that he was contractually obligated to refrain from commenting. The investigation revealed that identical content was being posted on numerous channels apparently operated by the same people."

This seems to be the video:

What "/" and/or "#" commands do you find most helpful?
I'm one of the contributors on this -- and I think one of the coolest parts of what we've built is its multimodal nature -- we really focus on visual / UI representation and understanding and fine-tune custom models under the hood to do pre- and post-processing to link user interfaces with relevant documents, help, and actions users can take on them.
Thanks for this. People forget the creator experience in Flash. It was really amazing, albeit a little quirky.
Migrating from ClickHouse to Apache Doris: what happened?
I agree. I went through a phase with Acme and truly loved the UX/DX.
> You're removing choices, not adding them.

Just don't install those other apps then.

It's the same exact argument that you made! The same one!

So no, your choice is not being removed, because in your own words, using your own argument, you can just not install those other apps.
If ms store is your solution for windows, then flatpak should be your solution for linux.

...I don't like either :)
Agreed. Apple's stubbornness and clear attempts to retaliate against everyone for these changes are not going to go well for them, and they need to realise that at some point.

It's genuinely shocking how petty the company is acting with these changes, and how obvious their attempts at only doing the bare minimum to follow the law are.
You are missing an “in the long run”

I thought the “The grapes of wrath” were exactly about the transient effects of the agricultural transformation.
Humans seek work that provides satisfaction and meaning in their life.

For every technological advancement, artisans are the first to be made obsolete.

Sure we have landfills full of unworn textiles, the market says its good, but overall, we keep destroying what allows humans to seek meaning.

Our governments and society have made it clear, if you don't produce value, you don't deserve dignity.

We have outsourced art to computers, so people who don't understand art can have it at their fingertips.

Now we're outsourcing engineering so those who don't understand it can have it done for cheap.

We hear stories of those who don't understand therapy suggesting AI can be a therapist, of those who don't understand medicine suggesting AI can replace a doctor.

What will be left? Where will we be? Just stranded without dignity or purpose, left to rot when we no longer produce value.

I ask this question often, with multiple contexts, but to what end? Who benefits from these advancements? The CEO and shareholders, sure, but just because something can be found for cheaper, doesn't mean it improves lives. Our clothes barely last a year, our shoes fall apart. Our devices come with pre-destined expiration dates.

Where will we be in the future? Those born into money can continue passing it around, a cargo cult for the numbers going up. But what about everyone else?
A company moving away from Nvidia/CUDA while the field is developing so rapidly would result in that company falling behind. When (if) the rate of progress in the AI space slows, then perhaps the big players will have the breathing room to consider rethinking foundational components of their infrastructure. But even at that point, their massive investment in Nvidia will likely render this impractical. Nvidia decisively won the AI hardware lottery, and that's why it's worth trillions.
Oh ok, maybe I need to spell it out then.

If goods and capital are free to move across borders, it doesn’t matter whether people are coming to your country or staying where they were, because you’re competing against them either way.

And, capital can move way, way faster than populations. We are competing against the entire nation of China. There are over a billion of them. Have a billion people moved to the United States in the last 20 years?

Right wing media is counting on you to not be paying attention.

There a fewer factory jobs now than there were 30 years ago. Did Mexicans come and move into those factories? Or did the factories move to Mexico?

Pay attention.
But without WASM, how are you are going to get 500ms+ startup time and an 3rd party server dependency in your critical path?
Have you tried Groq? We did a few days testing on replacing gpt4-turbo with it and, while incredibly fast, the results were horrible, even after a lot of specific prompt engineering. So many hallucinations and such. Our products all have to do with strict generation and software quality; it basically has to fill in the blanks but it was incredibly hit or miss. Some results came in within a second so even a few iterations beat gpt4 when correct, but some needed so many (that we quit) iterations that gpt4 beat it hands down.
Absolutely. I mean, yes, there's those moments where you need to plan your retirement and you better think 40-50-60 years out. But most of the time, just do the next 5 minute thing and see what happens. I've been getting a lot better recently about just coming up with 3 "quests" I'm going to do today that probably take 5 minutes. And that little progress has kept building and building into something I didn't really see months ago when I started that first 5 minute step.
Let me rephrase: "[if we didn't keep breaking apps with updates,] it would encourage devs to never update their apps"
The option is still in Safari's View menu too, perhaps surprisingly!
Mergent (YC S21 - https://mergent.co) might be precisely what you're looking for in terms of a push-over-HTTP model for background jobs and crons.

You simply define a task using our API and we take care of pushing it to any HTTP endpoint, holding the connection open and using the HTTP status code to determine success/failure, whether or not we should retry, etc.

Happy to answer any questions here or over email james@mergent.co
I share those same thoughts/questions.

Even if the cost thing is figured out, UBI has other issues. If it's truly universal, recipents will be priced out of just about everything that involves competition, including housing. If it's needs based, it's hard to determine the proper recipients. This may also lead to underutilization of talent when the benefits are close enough to what a person who could get a job would end up receiving. It would be nice to see some large scale tests, but that still hasn't happened.
the most successful software will be a result of marketing and going viral (e.g. featured on HN) if the ais just constantly clone each other's apps.
Total cluster they say will reach 350k H100, which at $30k street price is about $10b.

In contrast, Microsoft is spending over $10b per quarter capex on cloud.

That makes Zuck look conservative after his big loss on metaverse.

I'd publish all of the details and example code. I think that's literally the only way to mitigate the problems with RSA being cracked. After all, if I can do it, others can as well.

I'd publish it anonymously, though, in an attempt to prevent having to spend a lot of time discussing it with others (particularly the press).
I'm sure they have, but I've also been drenched while reading a weather report that refused to admit it was raining in my city right now. It just told me it was cloudy, despite clear and rather heavy rain for 30+ mins straight over the whole city. To this day I haven't figured out how that's even possible.
> I frankly don't care how much of a cut Apple takes from payments.

Then you're being disingenuous. The root cause of the problem is Apple, not the developers. You can't just ignore it. The developers are behaving rationally within the rules controlled by Apple. I don't understand how you don't see this.
People seem to have different opinions on how good forecasts are. I think it likely depends on which model your forecast source of choice pulls from. I notice that the weather on my Apple Watch corresponds exactly to what GFS says. GFS is OK for medium range, but I don't find it too useful for shorter range. NAM is better for a day or two out. HRRR is better for a few hours out.

Rather than letting some aggregator simplify the weather for you, you can just look at the raw data yourself: https://weather.cod.edu/forecast/

For big events, the media briefings by the National Weather Service are good resources. But they often stop the briefings early; a few weeks ago we had a high probability of a large amount of snowfall. The updates stopped at like 9AM, the snow was forecast to start around 1PM. Watching the short term models showed that the probability for snow was decreasing (NYC was just below the snow/rain line), and indeed we got pretty much no snow. (It snowed, but it didn't accumulate and the change to rain happened early.) To be fair, the briefing from the weather service said that the changeover time between snow and rain was very uncertain and that it would be the difference between a little rain and major snow event. But my point is, you can always go get yourself some more data; the closer you get to the event, the more accurate the forecast is.

(I don't know if any of you watch Skip Talbot, but he was looking at helicity swaths on the HRRR a few hours out, found a big one, and where HRRR predicted the strong rotation in the storm is pretty much exactly the path of a major tornado. HRRR is never going to be perfect, but it is right a lot.)
I understand where you are coming from, but I think using the impact of the printing press to help predict the future of careers and AI is flawed.

I think AI is hard to compare against the past. A printing press replaced some jobs, but AI could replace way more jobs.

Maybe it is like the printing press, but without typesetters.
Things like CHERI, Fil-C, and CCured make pointers just carry their bounds.

It’s not an unfixable problem.

I wish we were talking about fixing it, not making excuses.
> I am not going to profess to be enough of an expert in the economics of airliner design to say that there was a better option than continuing to re-engine the 737

I think it's as simple as Boeing caved to pressure from the buyers of these aircraft to minimize retraining for their crews. And other costs they might incur in a more abrupt aircraft change.
Why choose ViewComponent over Rails partials
That is true. In practice, a higher barrier of entry tends to result in higher contribution quality. You wouldn't get a lot of hackathon PR spam if one could only send a patch with git send-email.
I've read the report and it seems balanced and fair. I liked that they tackled how improvements could be made on many fronts, taking different approaches in each one. They didn't go overboard with any assertion or recommendation.

On one hand you're saying the problem is intractable and it'll take 25 years to solve. Then why are you criticising an effort to get the ball rolling?

You're frustrated by the Government using old, outdated and possibly insecure software. Then surely the White House exhorting the Federal government to fix these issues and procure software without issues is a good thing?

Of course any change is an opportunity for consultants to make money, but that doesn't mean the change isn't needed or that the White House is wrong for starting it.
In EC2, most of the "storage optimized" instances (which have the largest/fastest SSDs) generally have more advertised network throughput than SSD throughput, by a factor usually in the range of 1 to 2 (though it depends on exactly how you count it, e.g., how you normalize for the full-duplex nature of network speeds and same for SSD).
A few I use every day; the Wyrmwood Modular Gaming table (dining room table with removable top leaves and a game vault), the Keyboardio Model 100 (wood ortholinear split keyboard that's been my daily driver for WFH since I got it), Sandsara, Radiant Urban Sling (been my daily bag for a few years now). Then there's some not every day uses I still enjoy a lot; a couple board games and TTRPG settings, Lancer, FANG, Root, Mind MGMT are the big ones I've had a lot of fun with friends playing.
It's easy to point a finger at "blatant/blanket fascism" from an ivory tower, but ask yourself, would you feel differently if you were an impoverished person trying to raise a family and live a clean life in one of these areas?
Exactly. We are aiming at offering a solution to build complex PDF design. Which means having 100% control over the layout (margin, header, footer), the style and also the content. That's why we integrated Tailwind, CharkraUI, Markdown, LaTeX, and also wanted to support SVG etc.
> Ideally, a command processor would be composed of an LR-parsed language that could easily be represented as a grammar for yacc

There are plenty of parser generators other than yacc, many of which accept different types of grammars from LR (e.g. LL parsers, PEG parsers). I'm not sure why it should matter whether a command processor's grammar is LR or LL or whatever.
> Personally, I think C++ has too much cognitive load.

I also think the same thing about Rust.

RAII adds a humongous cognitive load to a language and I'm not really sure what you do about that.

Zig is a step in the right direction with a bunch of the sharp corners in C filed down--slices and default non-null pointers is a big improvement.

However, there are some things (like reference counted data structures) that are really annoying to implement in C/Zig that are really easy to implement in C++/Rust.
deal actually has a far better integration with hypothesis as its testing strategies are built on that library! https://deal.readthedocs.io/details/tests.html#mixing-with-h...
The consent agreements are agreements between the government and AT&T. They arose because neither side wanted to find out if AT&T was breaking antitrust law. So that the consent agreements and cases arose as a result of antitrust regulations is true. But when you say "the legal theories of when and how to apply antitrust regulations" has changed, that is not supported by the consent agreement because those agreements are not enforcements of antitrust regulations. Similarly when you say "the law as written has not changed, but the way it's enforced" has, that is also not correct in this case because the consent agreements/settlements are not enforcements of laws. I suppose you can argue that if the AT&T case happened today that AT&T would be more likely not to settle because they would feel that they are more likely to win because legal theories have changed. That is in any event it is a different matter than your claim about the enforcement of antitrust laws which did not occur in the case of AT&T. Also note that Kodak was decided in 1992 and is still considered good law. In that case the court found that Kodak was in violation of antitrust law. And that case is still essentially the basis for most (all?) antitrust cases that have been brought to court since then. For example the recent Epic vs. Apple case was just about how to define the foremarket and aftermarket for the variously tied products in the iPhone (like Appstores and operating systems). Nobody has argued that Kodak itself is invalid due to a change in legal theory. You may see a difference in that the government sued a large company in the past but hasn't done so recently and I think that is true. But your claim that it is due to a change in legal theory or enforcement of law is not necessarily true. None of the large tech companies today are nearly as dominant in their markets as AT&T was. The company which most closely resembles AT&T in market control is probably Google in ads but even then it's not even close to what AT&T was doing which was complete control over all US telephone lines and on the phones themselves with explicit contractual agreements that you could not try to make your own phone and use their existing network. I imagine that would violate the law that came out of Kodak by a large margin and had AT&T existed in the same way today it would certainly be sued by the US government and lose.
Heh, yeah. Had a Subaru Forrester decide that something was wrong with the throttle or cruise control or something, and the appropriate response was to ignore the accelerator and just leave the engine at idle. On the freeway. In the middle of a road trip.

Manual "reboot" fixed that one. But "have you tried turning it off and back on again" is not a good answer for an airliner...
No, I am not.

I am advocating for the choice of the User. My first sentence in my original post. To me that is all that matters, I frankly don't care what the developer may or may not be forced to do if it comes at potential harm to the User.

A developer choosing to only put their app on another store, regardless of the reason, is removing a choice from the User.

Is 30% high, sure. But I also don't fully buy it being the end of the world considering it is the same cut that Steam, Xbox, and Playstation take.
just need to get an A list celeb like ryan reynolds involved and people will follow
Mac devs are good at updating their apps because Sparkle exists.

It’s hard to overstate the impact of Sparkle, it made it easy for developers to ship updates while also putting the control of that process in the hands of developers rather than the platform.

Linux went the opposite route with dozens of package managers which makes it harder for updates to reach users.
Can you explain how you believe the App Store prevents contacts and pictures being siphoned off currently?
C++20 doesn't stop someone writing new/delete/malloc/free, or using pointer arithmetic. For me to be sure your code is 'safe', I'd have to audit it visually, and that's the worst of all worlds.

The rigor can be put in the tooling, at the compiler level, as a flag. Then there's no 'forcing', it's just not possible to do certain things. Which is what is being advocated.

Hoisting it a level further, to the build system, means downstream dependencies can (also) be compiled 'safely', or required to be safe, by default.

Sticking a [[safe]] attribute into the language for regular source files would be a disaster. What's the point of one safe function in a library when the rest of it isn't safe?

Having said all that, I don't disagree with anything you've written regarding idiomatic c++20 reducing safety issues, it's just that it's a problem that can be and should be addressed mechanically in the tooling. I'm just really, really, doubtful that C++ will ever get anywhere near 'safe' in the next decade, or, really, next couple of decades.
Technological unemployment and doomerism aside, I think there's a big difference here - in the past, you've needed lots of capital to invest in those labour-saving devices. A farm labourer couldn't buy a tractor, a dockerworker can't buy a crane.

But a software engineer absolutely can buy access to AI services.

I have no idea how this will end up, but it'll be different to before.
I don't this this allegedly happened. What authorities are saying Boeing killed a whistleblower?
What loss lol. Stop the fud
Yet competition can and does better, much better re safety currently. Any issue of Airbus would get at least same press coverage, in US even more since media are usually not impartial.

Are we already into some boeing whitewashing cycle too?
Solar Success Is a Curse for China's Manufacturers
As a developer but also product person, I keep trying to use AI to code for me. I keep failing, because of context length, because of shit output from the model, because of lack of any kind of architecture etc etc etc. I'm probably dumb as hell, because I just can't get it to do anything remotely useful, more than helping me with leetcode.

Just yesterday I tried to feed it a simple HTML page to extract a selector, I tried it with GPT-4-turbo, I tried it with Claude, I tried it with Groq, I tried it with a local LLama2 model with 128k context window. None of them worked. This is a task that while annoying, I do in about 10 seconds.

Sure, I'm open to the possibility that in the next 2 - 3 days up to a couple of years, I'll no longer do manual coding. But honestly. After so much hype, I'm starting to grow a bit irritated with the hype.

Just give me a product that works as advertised and I'll throw money your way because I have a lot more ideas than I have code throughoutput!
Tech startups are giving new hires fewer shares as valuations cool
Yeah, “also” a performance optimization.

It’s also just legacy. We’ve always done it that way so we still do it that way for ABI compat and because it’s hard to find a compiler that does it any other way.

Imagine if the story was: “you totally can have a bounds on your ptrs if you pass a compiler flag and accept perf cost”.

I bet some of us would find that useful.
Apparently, people are shocked by the title 'Execute formulas stored in database fields', which they associate with bad experiences involving scripting, SQL generation, stored procedures, SQL injections, and other vulnerabilities.
However, the point is that the approach presented here is intended to address these vulnerabilities and provide a robust, secure environment.

We are accustomed to applying formulas to entire columns using calculated fields in SQL and have no problem with this; in fact, we gratefully use this option. The approach presented here offers the same safe opportunity but now at a record level. Therefore, there is no scripting, SQL generation, stored procedures, or SQL injection involved. Just as you can safely define a calculated field, you similarly define an expression that returns a value without any possible side effects.

Furthermore, it is not strange to include a formula in a database field. In databases, we register attributes of objects, and sometimes that attribute is an expression, such as the agreed bonus with your employer. Formula fields allow such an attribute to be registered and calculated within SQL. This provides us with a much more flexible, safer, and transparent method than writing a separate program outside the database.
Apologies if my initial comment came off the wrong way; when I say “not alternatives” I was injecting bias into that statement since I normally use Cap’n Proto on embedded and memory constrained systems (amazing library btw.)

When I created Bebop years ago I tried to benchmark it against Cap’n Proto, but the lack of a semi-decent web or C# implementation mentally made me recategorize.

So I suppose I’m just comparing what’s closest in terms of ecosystem support rather than a purely functional level.
