When I got the responsibility for our aws accounts and github repos there where over 1000. 99% are not used, and closing them down is a PITA since AWS only allows you to close 10% of your accounts per month and finding out who actually uses a github repo can be hard (if it is not commited to regularly). My predecessor didn't care as long as they don't cost too much, which is a reasonable stance but I want to know what is running.

I'm working my way through them but it takes quite a bit of time and checking in with people on what is actually used.

Besides that there is some prestige in saying that you handle 2000 amount of repos instead of it being "we have 20 prod repos and 1980 personal playground repos with one commit"

Why would it be? That doesn't look good at all - why not clean them up periodically, or simply after onboarding? - and this makes them seem more capable than if they were managing 1/10 the number of repos.

(This is assuming GP is correct. I have my doubts)
With the exception of Apple Vision Pro and maybe AI, all of those are mature and examples of previous successes. OP is asking for the next thing. Like joining Twitter in 2006 or Vine in the beginning of 2013.
You're describing a failure in leadership, not a failure in the monorepo model. If your dev leads are not bringing these issues up to management, or management are not backing them on solving these issues, you're doomed whether you're doing monorepos or not.

Monorepos have their drawbacks (and I personally don't like them either), but being unable to trust devs is not one of them.

If you can't make monorepos work, what makes you think you can get "microrepos" to work?
Ignorance is bliss!

The most annoying things about the anti-cheat stuff is that:

- most of them don’t even work

- EAC has Linux support, devs literally just need to tick a box in their configs. It’s so straightforward. EAC is junk for a bunch of other reasons, but that’s a side topic.

I’ve gotten many games to work shockingly well - even multiplayer ones, but the performance is like, 10-20 fps below the windows version (different m2, same computer),
Single threaded games is not a thing today, so not something to worry about.

Besides, games are GPU bound, not CPU bound for the most part.

On the off chance you haven’t explored it, I would recommend looking into EMDR therapy. It made an incredible difference in my PTSD.
It truly is. I moved to a city across my country that has pretty good bike infrastructure. I had never even considered riding a bike for transportation, but after experiencing somewhat good infrastructure that got me to my office faster than driving, I was blown away by how enjoyable, sustainable, and economical it can be.

For average game from 10 years ago - may be. Not for modern games. For them - GPU performance is king, not single core CPU one.
I'd prefer they stick to GPUs, but I think you're over simplifying.

Dell proves that selling complete units is very profitable.

Apple shows that owning the entire stack is immensely profitable.

Nvidia already has significant hardware and software investment. They very well could fully integrate and grab larger slices of the pie.

In fact, Nvidia already has complete appliance like fully integrated machines. But enterprises like to install their own OS and run their own software stack. These appliances have not caught on, at least not yet.
So for $33 you can violate someone's freedoms of expression because part of their site "may" be violating your copyright. So much for due process.

The question is not whether we need NNs running in the browser, we do, the question is whether WebGPU would be sufficient to cover those needs.
I am no expert in WWII era politics, but a big part of what led to WWII had been fierce nationalism within Europe that made it start drawing lines. That still exists, but there's both more outlets for competition and more opportunities for collaboration via the Eurozone. Plus, the ultra rich cross borders and have zero interest in a big global war.
Just tried to run this using their sample script on my 4090 (which has 24GB of VRAM). It ran for a little over 1 minute and crashed with an out-of-memory error. I tried both SV3D_u and SV3D_p models.

[edit]Managed to generate by tweaking the script to generate less frames simultaneously. 19.5GB peak VRAM usage, 1 min 25 secs to generate at 225 watts.[/edit]
I'm not too familiar with C# but I know it does not have a sound type system and it appears to require the "new" keyword for instantiating new objects. You need to import System.Collections for dynamiaclly sized arrays. Also appears to not have python-like print() (requires Console.WriteLine()). It also doesn't have flutter obviously. But in any case my point was more that Dart isn't really like Java.

Why do you think C# will give you a better outcome?
Kind of hard to get a car out the door or window. Usually getting a car out of a garage isn't a big deal, because who actually puts their car in there? But also, you don't need to drive your car out if your structure is on fire ... OTOH, you may want to drive somewhere else if your power is out, especially if it's out for an extended period of time.
Of course. It is like when a company goes bankrupt because they didn't establish good fire protection in their factory. Using AI automation has its risks that have to be mitigated appropriately.
> I find it surprising that the writers of those government documents seem oblivious of the strengths of contemporary C++ and the efforts to provide strong safety guarantees

No, Bjarne needs to realize that RAII and smart pointers are an old concept now, and they have shown to be insufficient, for decades now.

The bar for safety has been raised, and the Modern C++ is so behind, they don't even understand the issue, and still talk like it's about the C sins, or programmers not using it properly, or "but what about other bugs?".

The contemporary C++ is still a safety-third design where safety always loses to performance and backwards compatibility. The std::span has been standardized without .at(), and they're just getting around to adding it. Bounds checking by default on `operator[]` is one thing where C++ could be on par with Rust right now, but that is going to be relegated to an optional profile.

"Premature optimization" is definitely a thing in scaling but not so much in accessibility. I suppose having a native feature to let users choose from a wide array of fonts and color schemes (vs. honoring OS settings for those) before you have users could be accessibility-related premature optimization.

Accessibility is more often compared to security; if you don't think about how to securely transfer or store data early on, it's going to be much harder later on (support for SSO before you have users might be premature optimization unless your product is especially geared toward enterprises).
Some gas piston would be cool.
Tests? We don’t got no stinking tests!

They have an okay manual testing practice, but adding automated testing is on my list. While it’s simpler to add unit tests off the bat, I am thinking we get E2E first. This is so we can make sure regressions of the input/output are not present while we make other changes. We can add unit and integration as we go.

This isn’t a body shop consulting company. It’s in insurance, but they are retooling the company to be engineering focused, which is why I joined them.

Microsoft and Nvidia announce major integrations to accelerate generative AI
It depends a lot on company culture but ideally talk to a decent sample size of the employees across teams and find their perceived pain points. Then measure things: time to build locally, time for CI, time for tests to run, release frequency. Gather the combined data from measuring objective things and developers subjective experience and work it out from there.

If your role crosses over with SRE
and platform then you need to get the data for these things to.

Make sure you understand why X is like it is for all X that you want to change. Know the history and the battles won and lost that got it like that.

Move slow and fix things!

Of course if the culture is all “quarterly goals, show progress etc.” then you may need to adapt for that too. Maybe get some quick win projects out that are no brainer things. Parallelize tests or project master branches etc.

By the way your list of changes might be perfect or awful. It is like a diet plan… it depends on the person and the reason for it.
My friend drives Red Cab in San Francisco. A couple of weeks ago he charged ~$500 from SFO airport to San Jose (taxi meter price). He informed the passenger, since he thought it's going to be too much for her, and gotten the response he shouldn't count her own money, and should just drive there, lol.

Ask HN: What books have you found understandable during serious depression?
I've had four episodes of major depression in my life, the last and longest lasting 1.75 years, during which I was pretty much non-functional and unable to concentrate enough to read.

Through trial and error I stumbled on two things that WERE readable and provided much comfort.

1. Patrick O'Brian's "Master and Commander" and its twenty sequels set during the Napoleonic Wars, featuring British naval captain Jack Aubrey and his ship's surgeon, Stephen Maturin.

2. "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt.

I wish I'd known of more such books at the time.
Getting people out of cars also reduces tax spend on road costs. Bike infrastructure lasts longer and is cheaper to maintain than a road, which can result in improved municipal finances.

It crashes with an out-of-memory error on my 24GB 4090, so at least when it comes to their sample script the answer is "a lot". Maybe it's just an inefficient implementation though.
I wrote "many." And, yes, many people do not have good wired Internet access and paying a relatively small premium to get the equivalent of wired broadband access at all is worth it for a great many of those people. No one is asking you to pay if you have better options.

I will definitely agree that adding more protein would improve health outcomes for indians - all I really wanted to point out is that a reduced intake of protein does not lead to a drastic decrease in lifespan (other effects dominate that). So there isn't an inherent feeling of anxiety in people who are used to that diet to consume protein at all costs and thus start to consider snakes as an acceptable form of food.

Someone else replied about the facts, but I'm also curious about how you wrote that paper.

The NATO treaty says the member parliaments decide on accession. You wrote a paper saying it was changed without consulting or even telling those parliaments, is that right? I'd be fascinated to see how you wordsmithed that. It's nice if you dig it up.
What are your thoughts on Reduced Instruction Set Computers?
My best theory is that they:

- stream sniped ImperialHal and Gen

- had some way of getting uuids from the client

- used those uuids in combination with an RCE

However, I'm still leaning more strongly towards the theory that gamers who don't care about security got social engineered into downloading a RAT and have compromised computers.

And if it happened to two, it's infinitely more likely that could be leveraged to social engineer others in that group.

Artists: I can't make this it's too similar to my other work / other artists.

Listeners: Oh yeah, that scratches the noggin, give me 10 more just like that.

The drive to have to have to create something genuinely novel is how neo-classical, art and fashion got to their current state which, while interesting, is completely divorced from the kind of clothes real people actually wear or art people hang on their walls. And when you need a fanbase you find a voice that resonates with people and riff off it.

Hell, most people describe their taste in art in terms of genres and styles that have rules and formulas. The fact that I know how every alt-z song is going to be structured from the first 15 seconds somehow doesn't make it less enjoyable to listen to.

I don't think AI is gonna take over or anything but I also think music is one of those areas where it can be more successful than average because people like formula in their music.

The rule of "learn how to blend in, then stand out" / "learn how to follow the rules then break them on purpose" makes AI an interesting tool because having the ability to take a unique concept and then make the AI "fill in" the parts where you don't want to break the mould sounds super useful.
Throughout my career, I spent too much time trying to change organizations. I later realized that changing culture is prohibitively difficult when one person or a minority are trying it. I now know that it's better to "choose my battle". Only focus my energy on things that really matter, give a friendly comment, maybe coated in humour in all other situations. Cultural problems happen for reasons, and those reasons are usually very hard to change, like personality of the executives.
This is not just Paris but drivers are the same on the inside.

The in my experience difference is enforcement. A higher proportion of cyclists believe they will get away with breaking rules and so you see much more of it. Once it’s a norm to sneak around that corner or cross that road then other rule breaking follows.

This can only be fixed with enforcement. It can be ameliorated with infrastructure and more permissive rules where appropriate but the only way to make cyclists less annoying is enforcement.

EDIT: I say this as someone who very rarely drives and even then only outside of the city.

In had something similar with vitamin B12, i got like 5000x the RDA. Said I have a genetic problem with absorption.

Of course different vitamin!
Yes I read it. The context is comparing the US and the EU. And this document shows they are substantially the same.
I am honestly surprised that it is still around, I expected them to kill it off once they hopped into the "We want to be Instagram" train with the new design and give it maybe a month or three. Who knows, maybe they just can't find the correct repo for it?

We’re reaching the levels of hello world optimization even the staunchest proponents of top-level statements (write Program.cs python script style) considered impossible.
That may be true, but isn't what I said. I think you're misrepresenting the actual percentage of people who actually need to use text controls in saying that about half the population doesn't have perfect vision. You may notice that those are two different things.

It's like using the percentage of people without perfect control of their legs as a proxy for how many people actually need to use a wheelchair. Yes wheelchair accessibility is important, yes many people need to use one, but no not everyone without perfect control of their legs need to be in a wheelchair. Sometimes they only need crutches, etc.
Websites broken on mobile considered pointless - use some kind of basic testing instead.
I've heard it spoken by members of upper management, which obviously serves to reinforce the culture (and was a massive red flag for me at the time). I will say, though, that management is very open to improvements in procedure so it's more that the rank-and-file have accepted the status quo. They also have a habit of promoting a spirit of entrepreneurship within the company, which seems to be the thing that keeps me coming back for more.
What really sets apart RP2040 is the amount of SRAM you get for the price. Other "outsiders" like Espressif are also generous.

Mainstream MCU manufacturers really skimp on it, even if you don't need Cortex-M4/7 to run a simple GUI you have to buy a whiz-bang part with huge pinout, very rich peripherals you won't need and a matching price tag for those.
> Basically plants evolved Lignin (wood) but there was nothing in the world that could break it down so it rapidly accumulated along with a hyperoxgenated atmosphere due to the extensive growth.

That was my understanding too until recently, when I have read in a couple of places that things might not have been like that. Checking the Wikipedia article about Carboniferous [1] it seems there is not consensus yet:

"There is ongoing debate as to why this peak in the formation of Earth's coal deposits occurred during the Carboniferous. The first theory, known as the delayed fungal evolution hypothesis, is that a delay between the development of trees with the wood fibre lignin and the subsequent evolution of lignin-degrading fungi gave a period of time where vast amounts of lignin-based organic material could accumulate. Genetic analysis of basidiomycete fungi, which have enzymes capable of breaking down lignin, supports this theory by suggesting this fungi evolved in the Permian. However, significant Mesozoic and Cenozoic coal deposits formed after lignin-digesting fungi had become well established, and fungal degradation of lignin may have already evolved by the end of the Devonian, even if the specific enzymes used by basidiomycetes had not. The second theory is that the geographical setting and climate of the Carboniferous were unique in Earth's history: the co-occurrence of the position of the continents across the humid equatorial zone, high biological productivity, and the low-lying, water-logged and slowly subsiding sedimentary basins that allowed the thick accumulation of peat were sufficient to account for the peak in coal formation."

One way or another, I find fascinating how different the planet has been along its geologic periods.

Sorry, I wasn't entirely clear that I was specifically responding to the GP comment referencing the EU AI act (as opposed to creating a new top-level comment responding to the original blog post and Google's specific policy) which pointed out:

> Besides, AI-generated text published with the purpose to inform the public on matters of public interest must be labelled as artificially generated. This also applies to audio and video content constituting deep fakes

Clearly "AI-generated text" doesn't apply to YouTube videos.

But, it is interesting that if you use an LLM to generate text and present that text to users, you need to inform them it was AI-generated (per the act). But if a real person reads it out, apparently you don't (per the policy)?

This seems like a weird distinction to me. Should the audience be informed if a series of words were LLM-generated or not? If so, why does it matter if they're delivered as text, or if they're read out?
I suppose it depends on whether you’re charting the cumulative or the “instant” odds.
Not sure what or who your comment serves, at all.

I don’t understand why it’s even considered safe to have one of these springs in one’s garage without a solid shield of some sort. While the energy involved is small on the scale of energy storage devices (<1 kJ or about 1 Wh if you believe the article), the speed at which it can release makes it quite dangerous. Your cell phone has a bigger battery than this! But your cell phone battery can’t discharge in a couple milliseconds.

Which brings to mind some rather different designs. A rather small motor with a lot of mechanical advantage can easily open a close a garage door, and if a DC or low voltage AC motor is used, it could do so quite a few times even if the power goes out.

You can even buy off-the-shelf springless garage door systems!

(I’m honestly not sure why springs are common at all in this application. IIRC I grew up with a garage door driven via a motor with a worm gear that engaged with a long threaded shaft, and there were nonetheless a pair of springs. Surely the added cost of a better motor and some upgraded mounting hardware for the motor box would have been less than the cost of those springs, especially installed. Maybe these designs are all essentially unchanged from decades ago when a ~100W (shaft) motor that could operate at a controlled speed even under negative load would have been exotic and expensive?)
absolutely on the Magnesium. Due to our diets being primary processed wheat, sugar, oil, and animals, (and partially due to soil mineral depletion) our diet is persistently low on Magnesium by quite a large margin. the impact of this on the population is not consistent. this really doesn't get enough attention in the media or many other places.
I managed to get it working with a 4090. You need to adjust the parameter decoding_t of the sample function in simple_video_sample.py to a lower value (decoding_t = 5 works fine for me).
