The problem with Nouveau was that Nvidia hardware could not be reclocked (the cores were basically always in low power mode) without a signed firmware blob. That blob couldn't be legally distributed except by Nvidia, so the open source folks more or less gave up on a high performance driver.

Now, for newer hardware, Nvidia has changed some aspects of the firmware and allows redistribution. So it's feasible to make a good open source driver.

AMD and Intel also use different drivers for different hardware generations, since eventually things change so much that it's better to start clean.

With regards to reverse engineering, Mesa has a number of reverse engineered drivers. That isn't anything new.
This comment is in direct conflict with the actual teachings of the faith.

From the introduction to the Book of Mormon, a central Holy Scripture to the faith:

> We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost. (See Moroni 10:3–5.)

Sure. The problem is this video somewhat misses how that interaction actually works. You need a control technique of thinking to action. What that actually is and how you learn to use that is missing from the demos. Thats a tad misleading right now IMHO.. (NB: It could be intentional speech eg "Move x to y" or it could be intentional motor control "move my hand right and up" You would also need a stop command. Not sure.. )

But sure - "the potential" is the key thing in all this. Just the cost to benefit ratio is pretty dramatic right now.
I really like this. There is a lot of great information here. It is similar to but different from the others linked in this thread.

I really liked the cultural information included - roads, several overlays to help orient things, eclipse duration lines, etc but the thing I liked the most was the rich data about the part of the path that includes my family's original land here in Texas. It turns out that both sides of my family settled land that is very near the totality centerline of the eclipse with a duration exceeding 4 minutes.

Your addition of layers that define boundaries for parks helped me locate an archaeological site that I had never heard about. While access is not available to the public I was able to research it and read the description of excavations and conclusions about the history of the site. That really made my day since it connected some of the things my Dad mentioned about the area where he was raised with a real historical site very close to the places he described.

Too bad we don't own either of those parcels today. I am probably going to experience the eclipse with a sister who lives a few seconds outside the 4 minute line since my own home is at a 99.7% eclipse location.
I think you are self promoting.

The account "rune19" on submission ID "31892247" looks like a clear effort to circumvent organic ranking and push your own content.

You have few comments and most of them are exclusively in your own posts, your karma is low, and all posts submitted look like attempts to draw attention to yourself and your work. I think the moderation is working exactly as intended, in which case explaining what triggered the moderation serves only to help you circumvent the guidelines/rules.

If you think you are being unfairly modded you can e-mail HN and ask what's up. I give it 50/50 on whether dang tells you why you are triggering automod or asks you nicely not to use HN for self promotion.

It's possible that you are not triggering any auto-moderation and it's directly a result of HN users flagging obviously self-promotional content. I think a good number of HN users are aggressively hostile to self promotion on HN because if that behavior is rewarded, you get more of it.

I have the same and I don't think we're a (small) minority, at least not in the company where I work.

Almost everyone on my team comes in 2 or 3 times a week. We have some meetings, great (free) lunch, work together on some things, crack lots of jokes and get to informally chat about things you don't easily schedule a call for (how you're doing, how you feel things are going in the team, in the company, in life in general - the under current that doesn't get visible easily).

It of course helps that my commute is 25 minutes and that our office space is only for our team. There is a natural ebb and flow to when people get loud and active, and when we're burried in our screens cracking a problem, so you also get to be productive.

I do work from home as well. I really like that I have the freedom to balance wfh and wfo.
This new driver (along with the modules Nvidia have released as OSS [1]) are kernel drivers and do not break userspace. NVK is a Vulkan implementation for Nvidia GPUs as part of the Mesa project (the same project that AMD's userspace drivers are a part of, even though AMDs kernel drivers are in tree). They are both needed to make a cohesive driver.

[1] https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules
The kernel driver manages things like display setup, memory management (isolation between processes), and funneling of commands from user space to the hardware. This is more a replacement for Nouveau than NVK.

NVK generates the commands to send to the hardware, by converting vulkan APIs to Nvidia-specific instructions, and feeds them to the kernel driver.

Couldn't agree with you more, and honestly I think you're softballing it here:

> I think it’s pretty lazy to crank out a vibes based article describing specific grievances and generalizing to an entire population.

In that the article doesn't even describe _specific_ grievances, really; we get three quotes in this order:

- A Paul Graham tweet where he says "multiple founders" have changed their minds; the _personal_ opinion he expresses is that "he doubts things will go all the way back to the way they were before Covid, but it looks like they will go most of the way back." Nothing specific mentioned about why the founders changed their minds.

- A truly stripped-of-context quote from Keith Rabois that gets closest to saying something specific i.e. 'that younger workers “learn by osmosis,” which requires in-person interaction' (false as presented, and if this is a genuine reflection of his opinion then he doesn't actually understand training) and 'supervisors discover hidden talent by watching [younger employees]' (true enough, but presented as a problem with remote work when it's actually not)

- Absolute banger from Sam Altman: “I think definitely one of the tech industry’s worst mistakes in a long time was that everybody could go full remote forever, and startups didn’t need to be together in person and, you know, there was going to be no loss of creativity ... I would say that the experiment on that is over.” - the implied grievance here is that "remote work makes startups less creative" which is, to its' credit, an actual position for which one can make a coherent argument. He may even have gone to the trouble of doing this at some point, for all I know. The rest is pure sophistry, though - "one of the tech industry's worst mistakes ... was that everybody could go full remote forever" is just not an accurate reflection of what actually happened, and if he's exaggerating for effect, then I'd be interested to know what effect he was going for; he's also really softballing the reason why remote work happened in the first place: it wasn't an "experiment," it was a forced response to a world crisis with existential implications!

There's significant overgeneralizing happening here too, as you suggested; at best, you can say that these guys are referring to what's true of _startups specifically_, where they're at least domain experts, but even if their arguments ARE true of startups (and I am deeply skeptical that this is the case) you can't assume that they'll be true of OTHER organizational types.
The original Pixel Dungeon was closed source IIRC, but then the developer stopped working on it and released the source code. Now there are many forks/mods of PD, all with different features (the Pixel Dungeon wiki has a great list). Shattered PD is the most popular and polished one, it adds a ton of stuff and is very actively developed.

Which regressions for Nvidia hardware are you talking about?

Nouveau supports seriously ancient Nvidia hardware. It's perfectly reasonable to make a clean break once in a while (both AMD and Intel have done it in their open source drivers).
There is a classic text [1] about exactly this, the free soda.

In short, when a company starts to pay attention to such petty details as the cost of soda, which must be a rounding error in the cost of running an office of a decent engineering company, it's a signal that the culture has changed. With that change, best engineering talent often leaves towards places where priorities are still aligned with lofty goals, not bean-counting.

(Disclaimer: of last 10 companies I've worked for, only two did not offer free soda, due to being 100% remote.)

Unfortunately memcached is missing some features that make Redis very powerful for uses beyond a simple KV cache (for that simple cache usage neither are as important, granted):

1. Replication

When using Redis for things like Session storage, a Job Queue, etc it's important that all hosts (web/app servers) see the same data, which means you either need them to all rely on one single server (which introduces a SPOF) or you need to be able to replicate the data, so that when the primary instance has an issue, a hot spare takes up the load with an existing dataset already in place.

2. Lua

This is slightly less important, but it provides a lot of power: systems like Qless (https://github.com/seomoz/qless) use Lua to run a job queue that executes within Redis, so you get atomic writes for free, and you aren't tied to a specific application language to get a usable queue with consistent features/results.
Awesome, thanks. Big fan of the Tweag folks and Nix and Nickel so will definitely check it out.
I’ve always found bank account numbers a bit odd. We treat them as private, but the account and routing numbers are on every check. While checks are less common now, they used to be a very common way to pay for nearly anything, including person to person. We just never got a good form of digital check in the US. I suppose that is what Zelle is supposed to be; a digital check with extra steps.

I’m not sure what protections exist to prevent fraud related to using account and routing numbers, but they must be pretty decent, as the data is out there and I’ve never really heard about abuse (other than stories of Frank Abagnale Jr. forging checks long ago. I’m aware of some of the protections for physical checks as a result).

ACH is used in the US for transfers like this. It uses the account and routing numbers. While it’s almost unheard of for person to person payment, it is usually a requirement for things like rent, mortgage, property taxes, and utilities (if a person plans to use auto-pay). All my utilities and my property tax are setup to auto-pay with ACH transfers. If a place like this offers a credit card option, they usually add on a very sizable fee, to a degree that no sane person would use it.

Wiring money is another direct option, but it usually costs money, so it needs to be fairly important. It’s generally for time sensitive things, as it’s much faster than ACH. I needed to move some money fast between two of my own accounts and ended up wiring it to myself. This is also common for closing costs when buying a home.

The title is actually misleading. To me the meat is more what is the actual desirable user experience, from a trust and agency perspective. When do people want to give up agency, when do they want full control, and when do they want some level of automatic lift?

Restaurant reservations come up a lot but it doesn’t seem particularly full of friction.. especially because I almost certainly don’t want this automated. It ignores both taste, a host of preferences that are time/context dependent, and giant social-not-technical-stop-thinking-it’s-technical problems like scheduling.

What are practical everyday problems that people would want a personal agent for, beyond just info retrieval?

Amazon simultaneously wants to be "part of the community" but also extract the maximum amount of profit via AWS. Amazon can just do a deal with Redis to share a percentage of the profits from their Redis usage. They don't have to, but they could. But no, they insist on having it for free, and we should be grateful that benevolent Amazon with their $23 billion operating income (from AWS) deems Redis worthy for a contributor or two (which is of course entirely in their own interest). Give me a break.

Amazon Inc. wants to maximize profits. Okay fair. I'm not against capitalism. But it holds others to a different standard by insisting they only (not Amazon) should be beholden to some different type of post-capitalist post-scarcity "let's all share together in community" type of model and cries crocodile tears when they model of extracting the maximum in profits while giving the minimum in return blows up in their face. You reap what you sow.

Amazon needs to either hold everyone to the same standard as they have for themselves or stop whining.

> The bicycle, as we know it today, was not invented until the late 1800s.

Not sure why the article starts off with an incorrect hypothesis. There is evidence of bicycles in the sculptures in at least one Indian / Hindu temple Southern India. The temple dedicated to "Panchavarna Swamy" - 5 colored god, was built at least 1500 years old. (dated to the early 7th century by historians)

> Their study shows that there isn’t one simple reason for this phenomenon. A combination of factors, including gyroscopic and caster effects, bicycle geometry, speed, and mass distribution come into play to keep an uncontrolled bicycle upright.

I think we’re saying the same thing. There is no simple physical explanation that humans can intuitively understand, because the interaction of forces is so complex. I’m not claiming that it’s a mystery causing fundamental problems for physics.

This is really the key question. The dwell technique you note is what most eyetrackers do (although far better to use a binary technique - eg a blink - to select because of the midas touch effect). Its built into to Windows/MacOS and iOS now. I have a sneaky feeling the reason why its chess is you can encode the positions "X1 to Y2". You can then do a transformer model to decode intentional speech..

I'm an atheist and a materialist so I share basically nothing of that kind of worldview, but those beliefs aren't actually that much outside the mainstream. The Holy Ghost as the third person of the trinity powering your faith is mainstream Christianity, not weird stuff from the book of Mormon -- if you don't believe that you probably aren't a Christian at all.
