The key is they're buying a job they can buy more of later; if you get a McDs off the ground (you need about $500k in cash and assets - like land, you can borrow the rest) you will have a much easier time expanding.

Most McDs franchises run a few of them.
Wow, that's a huge feature. Thank you, guys. By the way, does anyone have a preferred case where they can put 4 AMD 7900XTX? There's a lot of motherboards and CPUs that support 128 lanes. It's the physical arrangement that I have trouble with.
Apple killed off OpenCL for their platforms when they created Metal which was disappointing. Sounds like ROCm will keep it alive but the fragmentation sucks. Gotta support CUDA, OpenCL, and Metal now to be cross-platform.
would love the connect to learn more about what they tried, I'm at wilbur at meticulate.ai

Definitely... we're lucky to be in an industry where there's a lot of money at stake
I wonder why they aren't supporting RX 6750 XT and lower yet, are there architectural differences between these and RX 6800+?
The Ollama backend llama.cpp definitely supports those older cards with the OpenCL and Vulkan backends, though performance is worse than ROCm or CUDA. In their Vulkan thread for instance I see people getting it working with Polaris and even Hawaii cards.

Personally I just run it on CPU and several tokens/s is good enough for my purposes.
To your last point, China is on that list though (as a "foreign adversary"). In my view this is a political designation as China is actually our deeply integrated trade partner, manufacturing most of the hardware we are all discussing this on, it seems absurd to label a trade partner as a "foreign adversary" IMO.

To your earlier point, of course if an app is "draining the user's bank account without authorization" Apple or Google will block them, but that is not the job of politicians in Washington.

I just sold my rather expensive house without hiring a seller agent. The most useful thing that brought buyers was using https://homecoin.com/ (not a crypto company) to make a flat $99 fee MLS listing. I got the buyer to cover their agent fee. People should just do the same - it is not that difficult.
Excellent. I am also encouraging 7 years old kid to play around with Scratch. He seems to enjoy the block coding. It actually started to make sense for him. He know knows when to use loops and why to use them.

The only problem is that he ran out of projects or ideas to implement in scratch. So, I bought him Minecraft Education Edition, which actually have support for Block Coding to more a robot around.
I still have to agree with Dan. "If there's any threat to x86, it's ARM, and it's their business model that's a threat, not their ISA."

CTTPodcast 104 - Friend Tech's Blue Rabbit on the Board Scam: Jack Dorsey and Bitkey
Thinking about this has made me realize I really don’t know anything about compression other than which arguments to pass to tar to get it to compress, haha.

How would a typical compression algorithm do, losslessly compressing the whole game?

Can you lossily compress the game? If so, you would end up, after decompressing, with a game that had some ambiguous moves, right? But, only one is valid all the way through. Why not lossily compress and then step through each game, checking if each move is valid? Is that even still considered lossy?

Hypothetically you could end up with multiple valid games I guess… but they are just games, haha, who cares if a few are wrong?

I think one can extrapolate this to make an argument that this problem is the reason we rarely see LISP take off in a big way in a business context.

LISP is incredibly flexible. The ability to use macros to build DSLs without ever leaving the language, and have all the tooling designed to work with the language able to work within that DSL, is a game-changer.

... but what it changes the game into is "If you're working solo you can bend the whole language around to fit your mental model, but if you're working in a group you now have every engineer creating dozens of (probably unsanitary) bespoke macros to bridge the gap between their problem and their mental model today and the end result can become indecipherable to a new user, which jeopardizes a business project."

Paradoxically, flexibility can kill a large project. Large-codebase projects with 100 engineers don't need multitiools. They need what the army needs: an M4/M4A1 5.56mm Carbine with mass-produced ammunition. And they need it because when a fellow software engineer "falls in battle," it's in the company's best interest if you can pick up their weapon and start shooting immediately without having to learn the eighteen abstractions they hid the trigger behind, even if that makes your day-to-day work a little slower because there are upper bounds on how you can modify your weapon.

They're not planning for your needs; they're planning for your needs and the needs of everyone after you who will pick up your weapon and wield it when you're gone.
Oh, that looks really neat. No support in mutter yet, though I haven't seen any dismissal either, so who knows if it will eventually gain support.
It reminds me closely of Gary Webb's death, though the circumstances are different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb#Death

The mans family said he had PTSD and Anxiety. The gun he killed himself with was his own gun. Considering those factors and occam's razor it feels disrespectful to have this sort of speculative conversation. If this were his wife, kids, mother I would be inclined to say news worthy, but random friend as the only person who heard this story feels a whole lot like someone looking for their own 15 minutes of fame.

Regarding the nutritional value of mushrooms, a few counterpoints. Firstly, you are only looking at a single variety of mushroom (cremini).

Second, 7% manganese, 17% phosphorus, 15% potassium, and 12% zinc per 3.5oz serving representing 22 calories (or ~1/100 of your daily caloric intake) is nothing to sneeze at.

Go check out 100g servings of various other veggies to get a baseline. It is also likely that these nutrients are far more bioavailable in mushrooms than they are in, for instance, brassica veggies, due to lack of phytates and other uptake inhibiting molecules (so called "anti-nutrients").

FYI, 3.5oz of mushrooms will cook down into less than 1/4 cup, so if you desire, you can eat substantially more than this incorporated into a dish without it necessarily overpowering flavor or texture.

Finally, mushrooms are chock full of other hugely beneficial (but under-studied) dietary compounds such as beta-glycans, triterpenoids, ergosterol, and all manner of immune-modulating tryptophan metabolites such as indole-3-proprionic acid.
definitely, appreciate the feedback!
> It's easy when your world view hinges on the fact that responsible adults are running the world.

Or when you look at the reams of evidence supporting a verdict of suicide and the other side has conspiratorial non-arguments like this.

If any of you get selected for jury duty I would encourage you to please show an adult this thread so you can be recused on grounds of mental incapacity.
It's agaratine, but unlike acrylamide, which is most definitely a human carcinogen, the jury is still out on agaratine. You can give rats cancer with it, but only at huge doses.

The more important consideration, from the limited reading I've done, is to limit consumption to cultivated mushrooms from reputable sources. Environmental toxins in raw mushrooms is a definite problem! But the white buttons you get at Safeway are no more likely to poison you than the potatoes or romaine you buy there.
I work on a large PHP project and we've been using a combination of phpcs and a non-machine enforced style guide and the project is quite comprehensible. Some developers have different styles but it's fine. Even gofmt will never force people to adhere more to functional or imperative programming styles and that's a-okay - I love my functional code but I understand that other people comprehend things in different manners and as long as it works I'm not going to go in and edit someone else's approach.

Over enthusiastic machine driven style enforcement can get pretty unreadable - do you have a "one arg per line" rule - do you even enforce that in front-end validation where you have thirty parameters? Alternatively do you compromise the strength of your type safety and pack them all into a params[] just so the code is less messy? I remain skeptical that there is a reasonable one-size fits all solution to styling but I'm quite certain that python isn't it if it exists.
Used crypto mining parts not available any more?
Taylor isn’t selling lemons. Their machines are among the best. They simply (like any soft serve machine) can’t withstand improper use and they’re being run mainly by teenagers who don’t give a shit. The lack of serviceability is the problem here.

McDonald’s has for a few years been allowing franchisees to use Carpigiani (the other big brand in commercial ice cream machines) but they’re not better machines and while they are much more open in regards to servicing, parts must come from Italy and wait times are longer. Most of the franchisees are still opting for Taylor even though they have a choice.
The fact he doesn't is likely because he hasn't disclosed those particular details to legal, or if he has, he's been told it is unequivocally illegally sourced. If legal tells you to say absolutely nothing, it is likely all you can say to not implicate yourself.
> Why do you think you risk food poisoning by eating at a local restaurant just because it is in another country

> the JIT compile times made it unfeasible

Worth trying again unless that was in the last 18 months. Precompilation has gotten dramatically faster, like 50x improvement in load times faster. So has startup time in general, `time julia -e "return 5"` gave 161 milliseconds of user time on my computer. I don't actually use Julia for simple script munging, simply because I'm used to Python in that role and it works fine, but it's suitable for it.

Calculator-like use? Julia, all the way. Of course I keep the REPL open at all times. Gotta use tools the way they're intended, y'know?
Supreme Court Sets Rules for Blocking Citizens from Officials' Accounts
That is actually what the FTC and DOJ is proposing here, when reading their actual ask rather than blogspam poorly rehashing it.

> This proceeding concerns possible temporary exemptions to the DMCA’s prohibition against circumvention of technological protection measures (“TPMs”) that control access to copyrighted works, including functional software that facilitates the repair and monitoring of consumer and industrial product

McDonalds soft serve are mentioned only as an example of what would benefit

> As described by Public Knowledge and iFixit, four “index” examples of commercial and industrial device categories would benefit from the proposed expansion: commercial soft serve machines, proprietary diagnostic kits, programmable logic controllers, and enterprise IT

> The proposed expansion would benefit competition in areas beyond those outlined by Public Knowledge and iFixit. For example, increasingly sophisticated agricultural equipment often employs onboard computers that control error identification and repair, limiting options for farmers in need of quick repairs.

Well, they're the ones who spearheaded the attempt to make it illegal. They're not able to raise complaints for its renewal because, well, it _wasn't_ renewed in 2012, but is now covered under the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.

Unfortunately we can't deduce the reasons why it wasn't renewed in 2012, but I imagine Apple was doing the best in their power to convince the Librarian to make that decision.
That's a great way to be condescending and unhelpful to someone struggling with an edge-case or wrong-sized feet.
That's an opinion you can have, but people deserve to find it, read it, and also read others and to offer counterpoints to your POV.
Depends on what circles you're in. Personally I used to see a lot of "ask permissions for reposts" purely as euphemism for "don't repost ever". They've since moved to outright saying so.
Rank speculation about newsworthy deaths never go well on HN and historically have caused more pain for family and friends, and contributed to large amounts of misinformation being spread. I'm speaking specifically of Bob Lee, and also Tony Hsieh.

You say "Maybe this one will stick this time" but the main posting about this received over 360 comments, which is a lot for HN. It's not like the whole thing has just been nuked with no chance for productive discussion. But I'm not seeing much productive discussion. I don't mind these being de-ranked for now.

If it turns out to be an eBay stalking scandal type story, then we'll have a lot to talk about.

If it turns out that even being a successful whistleblowing can lead to life experience so awful that you want to kill yourself halfway through the depositions, then maybe we can talk about what can we as a society can provide whistleblowers to help them navigate these incredibly difficult times (financially, emotionally, socially, and spiritually).
I don't think so, they still tend to fall into the "Lampson further remarks that to do parallel programming, what you need to do is put all your parallelism into a little box and then have a wizard go write the code in that box." statment, for the most part.
Perhaps the death of Jeffrey Epstein shows that this sort of thing does happen in the West. I know the case is not of the same kind, but the perpetrator was very likely a corporate type trying to protect their reputation, which is at least close.

Not exactly a starter kit, but something I think could be useful during early development: Noop Workshop [1]. Full disclosure I work @ noop.

One of the primary benefits is you can quickly explore what Cloud components you need (locally) before purchasing them. We also built a bunch of templates in different languages that act as application boilerplate.

If it works the way you want in Workshop you can launch right to the cloud. If not it's easy to find alternative hosts for the different components. After all, Noop uses many AWS services under the hood.

The interface for local development is almost identical to the cloud interface, so it will give you a pretty clear idea of what the experience will be like in deployed environments.

> It's a narrative of the popular culture

Amongst idiots.

> eg Clinton's bj in the whitehouse

A thing which happened, was admitted by Clinton, and proved by DNA evidence.

Epstein's suicide is different because the evidence overwhelmingly points to suicide, and people are either ignorant or unable to think logically.
Actually people who consistently spread misinformation that powers the corporate racket that normalizes low quality technology deserve to be shamed, you just naively value politeness over correctness, which I am very aware is a huge problem with sites like HN, Slashdot, and Reddit.

Where are you every time some stupid Apple or Tesla user explains how other people are just "poor" so they won't get why their overpriced garbage is so good? Nowhere. You're just an autistic moderator and will always be a bane to society with your social pedantry.
That makes sense; basically giving a hint so that the compiler can figure out what kind of special optimizations are possible. I would assume that it can avoid extra reflection calls as well as a result?

The slow function I added the types to didn't really make any sense to be really generic. For nearly all the arguments (of which there was like 20), there was only one type that made any sense for each. I don't think keeping it more generic would have bought me much, and adding types worked as an assertion that made things much faster.

But yes, once I started adding types to thing, I did start utilizing multiple dispatch, since I've always been a bit fan of Clojure-style multimethods and this got me something more or less comparable to it.
You think this is bad? Wait until you see what the "news" media does!
Adding on to this: The National Diet Library of Japan has a lot of very well digitised resources. They can be a bit annoying to get to but they are there.

NDL Digital Collections: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/

NDL Image Bank: https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/en/imagebank

If you view items in the image bank, they show you a preview. You'll then have to click the link that takes you to the digital collections page for that item (which shows the full uncropped image). From there you will want to scroll down to the download panel and make sure you select "high resolution". Those images are generally at least around 2k x 2k or better depending on when they were captured.

You should also be able to get the unconverted image from their api (as many of them are in varying, less common formats like JP2/JPEG2000) but I haven't been able to figure out how. If you sent someone at the library an email you could probably figure it out though.
Potsdam has almost exactly the same GDP per capita as Berlin (€45,378 vs. €45,074) and is ranked only 63rd highest GDP per capita of the 110 large-ish cities in Germany. I'm not convinced. ;-)

I'm not a doctor or anything so I could be mistaken, but my understanding was that activated charcoal is helpful for treating poisons/toxins, not pathogens like you might find in bad seafood.

Unless there was a poisonous mushroom or something in your Thai food or your paella, would activated charcoal be expected to help?
You are not quite right about pipelined design being faster. At least, not without substantial effort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R2000_microprocessor

"The R2000 is a 32-bit microprocessor chip set developed by MIPS Computer Systems that implemented the MIPS I instruction set architecture (ISA)..."

"The R2000 was available in 8.3, 12.5 and 15 MHz grades..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I386

"The Intel 386, originally released as 80386 and later renamed i386, is a 32-bit microprocessor introduced in 1985..."

"Max. CPU clock rate: 12.5 MHz to 40 MHz"

As you can see, 80386 was released a year earlier than R2000 and was about 1.5 times faster than MIPS implementation from the start.

The critical path is, usually, in addition/subtraction, which should be complete in one cycle in both 80386 and in R2000. To pipeline addition you need a superpipelined CPU, one that has several stages for computation. Even seemingly simple computation of condition codes can make clock cycle 10% longer (SPARC vs MIPS) if your CPU is just simply pipelined.

BTW, some Pentiums did computed 32-bit addition in two cycles, all in name of higher clock frequencies.
Bedbugs die much more easily than that, 45C for 90 minutes will do it. The most expensive extermination method for bed and bugs is to seal up the home similar to the way it's done when using pesticides, except they just blast heat into your home for like 8 hours. Kills the bed bug infestation inside completely, but because there's no residual poisons bedbugs from outside can start a new infestation easily. It works great for homes, not worth doing for apartments.
I wouldn't assume this site to somehow be immune to paid shills and bots.
I got a Lovesac Sactional after using a couch for years that was a handme down of a handmedown. I like it but it was not cheap (~4.5k). The modular nature fits our lifestyle so I'm willing to pay the premium. Having had to move a couch multiple times, I'm looking forward to just being able to break this one up into sections and take it out the door.

They've got an ingenious model from a profit perspective as well. Since you can't charge subscriptions for stuff like that, they can sell you pieces of a Sactional and then you can get more pieces as the space you live in gets bigger or your life style changes. They also sell additional covers so if you get bored of the previous ones, you can change the color without getting a new couch (though it is not easy to get them on and off).

My advice, wait until it's on sale. They regularly go for sale from 15-20%. If you aren't fussy about the type, Costco usually has them too.
This is not CUDA's moat. That is on the R&D/training side.

Inference side is partly about performance, but mostly about cost per token.

And given that there has been a ton of standardization around LLaMA architectures, AMD/ROCm can target this much more easily, and still take a nice chunk of the inference market for non-SOTA models.
The fact that they would deface the image with a watermark tells me a great deal about the values of the "museum".
For the most part, I absolutely do agree with you. I would say something like more traditional knowledge emphasizing the relationship with the earth. I would get rid of 90% of science, at least.
