I didn't say you are experiencing the same bug: I said it sounded related; like, having used the workaround from it is teaching us about what aspects of the rendering might be broken.

Regardless, if you can give me a PDF file that experiences the issue I would be happy to try to get it fixed, as we shouldn't be sad at Firefox for a bug they aren't fixing if they don't yet have it filed... once it is filed, then we can be sad, as it almost always takes them years to fix anything (if they do at all ;P).

FWIW, though, you'd made it sound like this happens to you a lot... if this is really just happening to your PDF of your book generated by some weird website I've never heard of that is generating PDF files with their own code, it is quite possibly a bug in the PDF file and maybe it makes sense to fix Firefox (especially if it really is a font routing bug), but if the PDF file is sufficiently broken there should be some threshold for claiming it is a bug in the file, not the renderer.
"Optimal" depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go.

"Slept well and wake refreshed" might be one version of it, but "slept like an infant in the womb and awoke younger and healthier" would be more optimal, if currently in the realm of science fiction.
Agreed, but that's all the more reason to be louder and more defiant.

I thought GPS signals from space were incredibly weak. Limited power budget + 100km in the sky. Seems trivial for a ground based system to crank up the watts to whatever arbitrary limit they desire.
What actual damages are there for fan art? Can you prove that work done by a fan artist would otherwise have been done by the original creator and that fan artists are costing sales of the original works they create fan art for?
I like that idea, but it isn't really compatible with my fix. `bflags` still makes the same transitions, I just skip the actual read in the `UPTODATE | READING` case.
What we need to do is construct systems that are robust against this kind of gaming and don't reward the gamers as heavily as ours does.

Thanks for your continuing work on memcached! I'd be very curious how garnet's benchmarks compare with memcached.
Yes, this is "sharpening the saw". But we all know people who, despite boasting a lot about their extremely sharp saw, chop zero trees. Balance, in all things.
I signed up to over 20 todo apps yesterday, and it was miserable how clumsy UI is. If you're using task management to run your life, you are dealing with tasks hundreds of times a day and it needs to be flippin' quick and versatile enough that you can actually achieve a workflow - GTD is an excellent benchmark here. Oh and all these apps don't have start date, many of them don't even have the ability to star.

Not hosting my own data is a dealbreaker though unfortunately, so I stick with 2Do which I think is massively under-rated and has brilliant sync options. 2Do is a one man band and I'm worried we might not see another version. Making smart lists based on tags, due dates, starred, and then being able to make multiple smartphone widgets for multiple lists is not something I've seen anywhere done anywhere near as good.

Godspeed OP, this looks like a great first release and hope you make it work.
> damage many feel they've done to the art community

If the "art community" can't understand what an insane gift SD1.5 and SDXL was to them then I don't know what to tell them.

Without those open models we could have easily ended up in a world where this tech existed but was only in the hands of people who could pay OpenAI or Adobe a month to use it, and I mean with the power of it what should that cost be? I mean to have such an advantage the monthly cost could have easily been in the hundreds a month like high end CAD/3D/VFX software is and only viable for huge studios leaving normal people in the dirt.

Emad's decisions mean for the rest of eternity a tool that could have ended up entirely locked behind an Adobe paywall can now be run on any machine you owned and tweaked entirely on your own hardware to work in a way specifically beneficial to your workflow.

I'm an artist and designer too, the fear of how fast these tools can replicate styles and take jobs becomes a lot less scary when I can take advantage of it myself or enhance my workflow with it myself without paying a subscription tax to do so. But if the "art community" can't understand or imagine how bad this situation could have been then I don't know what to tell them, some people just like being screwed over I guess...

That doesn’t seem functionally different than removing the canary.
I wanted to buy an AMD laptop for my work, but as soon as I read about AMD CPUs are running hotter than Intel, I decided to stay with Intel.
Because I run on Intel since 20 years and I know what I get when I buy one. With AMD I can't be sure and I don't have the time to find out. Just give me a working laptop, I don't care about benchmarks.
GMail, the service that tells every user that they will be indexed and profiled personally for ad leads? that is an achievement ?

If you're making a big commit that formats a large file or files and those files are constantly getting merged in, then it makes the formatting PR hard to get in as it constantly has to merge or just start over. This might be only a concern for certain scenarios in large companies.
Nope. We are overdue for a massive shift in how things are incentivized.

I'm not suggesting the reporters doing work shouldn't have their basic needs met. Everyone should. The profit is everyone can read all the news.

More things need to be opened up for the public good. We're all standing on the shoulders of giants. Most notions of intellectual property should be abolished. AI training is making it painfully obvious. Let everyone and everything benefit from everyone and everything, especially where technology makes this trivial compared to the old days of costly physical distribution.
Demand is infinite
Ah yes, the famous "actually americans donate a lot" nonsense. That report is based on SELF REPORTED donations.

IE, giving Joel Olstein $10k to help him buy a new private jet is considered "charitable giving" and is also considered more charitable than if you just chat up the Asylum family that was just settled next door and help them get integrated into the local community to help them network and find work and friends, despite being way more impactful to human beings than that fucking grifter.

That "research" will also consider donating to, say, an anti-abortion group or an explicitly anti-gay group as "donations", as long as you, the questionee, consider them to be.

Also, being self reported with zero verification of any kind, Americans might just lie more about how much they "give".

The IRS publishes statistics about claimed charitable giving. 2020 tax filers claimed about $150 million in charitable giving if I am reading the report correctly, so less than two dollars per American. That is definitely an undercount since most people who make small contributions do not itemize their taxes and probably don't report their charitable giving, but even that number will be tainted by a person "donating" their money to a charitable organization that they 100% control.
Just an anecdote: I'm currently patching nautilus to move ellipsisation of long filenames in the list view mode from center to right aligned, because of course there is no option for it, but technical books tend to have several authors, long names, and with Gnome's default center ellipsisation I can only see the author list and the year of a book.

Another pet peeve of mine is the lack of type ahead. The relatively recent type ahead efforts were blocked (or stalled) by "design considerations" https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/issues/1... As the result Gnome Files is very unpleasant to use for deep trees with thousands of files in every directory on spinning media (zfs). The standard search feature also destroys context, i.e. being able to see the files filtered out by the query.

This release is also consecutively the third time they moved the list of ongoing file operations -- from top right, to top left, to bottom left. With all the obsession about "not confusing users" that the Gnome's leading figures declare the constant change in the UX should be one of the primary sources of the actual confusion users experience.
The big "4" climate change sources:

- transportation
- electricity generation
- heating
- agriculture

everything else is single digit percentages. Those single digit percentages can still be massive numbers (aka a billion tons of CO2e per year for cement production), but they aren't "worst polluters".

With R on Windows, you get some binary dependencies, but on Linux you need the system libraries for any package that uses an external library. R uses the HTTP headers to determine which binary package to send you and no roll-your-own package system for virus scanning and the like supports either the Conda contrib patterns nor the R HTTP code binary scheme. I think Conda used to be kind of cool, but I have the same problems, and its position was always to make a ton of assumptions about what you want to do. R is like that... Sensible and automatic defaults that you can't find or aren't told about.

> They tried to do physics acceleration at one point

Well, there is PhysX which they bought in 2008 and still have; when they bought PhysX they shifted the acceleration implementation from relying on dedicated physics accelerator hardware to GPGPU.

There’s APEX which was built on top of PhysX but later discontinued.

There’s FleX…

“At one point” might be a slight misstatement.

Last I checked, Paris had a veritable bicycling revolution.

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

Le Plan vélo de Paris (2015-2020) doubled bicycle lanes to 1000km and increased ridership (apparently already high?) by 50% or more.

The current plan is to add another 180km and make Paris 100% cyclable.

> If ie those 'salts' are naturally occurring in atmosphere in already reasonable concentration (ie I am sure few atoms of uranium are roaming around me currently, but sure as hell I hope its just few and apart) and they just locally temporarily increase their concentration to seed droplets around dew point.

In this particular case, they are not using anything that is already floating around in our atmosphere. They created some proprietary seeding agent they only refer to as "nano material" and that it contains titanium oxide. Who knows what impact it will have.

> Al Mandous said the center started manufacturing its own seeding agent called nano material, a fine salt coated with titanium oxide, which is more effective than what it uses currently.

Doesn't a seeding agent described as a "nano material" that is coated in tatanium contradict their earlier claim that they "only use natural salts?"

It is hard to compete with.

You can also (assuming your language supports it), execute gzip, and assuming your language gives you some writable-handle to the pipe, then write data into it. So, you get the concurrency "for free", but you don't have to go all the way to "do all of it in process".

I've also done the "trick" of executing [bash, -c, <stuff>] in a higher language, too. I'd personally rather see the work better suited for the high language done in the higher language, but if shell is easier, then as such it is.

It's sort of like unsafe blocks: minimize the shell to a reasonable portion, clearly define the inputs/outputs, and make sure you're not vulnerable to shell-isms, as best as you can, at the boundary.

But I still think I see the reverse far more often. Like, `steam` is … all the time, apparently … exec'ing a shell to then exec … xdg-user-dir? (And the error seems to indicate that that's it…) Which seems more like the sort of "you could just exec this yourself?". (But Steam is also mostly a web-app of sorts, so, for all I know there's JS under there, and I think node is one of those "makes exec(2) hard/impossible" langs.)

It's certainly possible, but more difficult the larger the city. Actually my main concern would be transporting furniture, appliances and the cost of renovations and maintenance. Transport of large items is difficult without cars. Cost of renovations are often many fold higher for dense housing due to greater difficulties with waste disposal and higher transport costs.

Rental supply is fixed in the short term. Therefore landlords have no pricing power unless they are colluding assuming theyre trying to maximize profit and not giving tenants a deal. Landlord goal is to rent every unit for maximum amount, that means renters set the price by competing with each other.

AMD desktop chiplet CPUs draw almost 3x power compared to Intel at idle. It makes a huge difference in overall power consumption. Of course they are much more efficient in the top end, but my PC is not running full load most of the time, so I don't see that efficiency.

Of course their monolithic CPUs are much better (just look at the APU in the Steam Deck), but you can't buy them directly. They are either an APU or only available in laptops.

So, I stick to Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU for the power efficiency. I can't even switch to AMD GPUs because they are bad even at top end.
Good questions. Execution cost is indeed higher than traditional testing automation scripts but much lower than the human cost of writing and maintaining the scripts. We're starting at $500/month and our plans go up from there depending on how many devices you want to test across. We do have customers running across multiple devices and OS versions today.
Happy to see this!

That was just a typo in the comment. The command run locally was just a strait pipe.

Using both invocation variants, I ran:

8a5ecac63e44999e14cdf16d5ed689d5770c101f (before buffered changes)

78188ecbc66af6e5889d14067d4a824081b4f0ad (after buffered changes)

On my machine, they're all equally fast at ~28 us. Clearly the changes only had an impact on machines with a different configuration (kernel version or kernel config or xxd version or hw).

One hypothesis outlined above is that the when you pipeline all 3 applications, the single byte reader version is doing back-to-back syscalls and that's causing contention between your code and xxd on a kernel mutex leading to things going to sleep extra long.

It's not a strong hypothesis though just because of how little data there is and the fact that it doesn't repro on my machine. To get a real explanation, I think you have to actually do some profile measurements on a machine that can repro and dig in to obtain a satisfiable explanation of what exactly is causing the problem.

But this argument seems analogous to someone saying that average height is less “correct” than the full original data set because every individual’s height is different. In one sense it’s not wrong, but it kind of misses the point of averaging. The full local metric tensor defined on the manifold is going to have the same “complexity” as the manifold itself; it’s a bad way of summarizing a model because it’s not any simpler than the model. Their approach is to average that metric tensor over the region of the manifold swept out by the training data, and they show that this average empirically reflects something meaningful about the underlying response manifold in problems that we’re interested in. Whether or not this average quantity can entirely reproduce that original manifold is kind of irrelevant (and indeed undesirable), the point is that it (a) represents something meaningful about the model and (b) it’s low dimensional enough for a human to reason about. Although globally it will not be accurate to distances along the surface, presumably it is “good enough” to at least first order for much of the support of the training data.

London just quadrupled its bicycle network. That seems like a massive improvement to me. When I lived there, biking was...let's be kind and say "less than ideal". Last time I visited I was amazed by the improvement, with protected two-way bike lanes right on the Thames and much more.
