I wish there was some reference of what can I actually do with 4 or 8 TOPS and 4 or 8 or whatever GiB of accelerator memory. Can I run speech recognition? Run a model for object detection in images? In video? LLMs - probably not. Stable Diffusion also seems out of question. But really - what can I run?
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely add a demo.

Custom useFetch wrapper for Nuxt with type inferences and autocomplete
A trade is an action you are taking in the world. Just numbers sometimes mean someone goes hungry or loses their house, other numbers mean someone gets bombed.

I don't actually know that it makes sense to judge these particular actions (especially of small players) in the face of the incentives, but I think your dismissal is too cavalier to be effective. The fact that your impact on the world is mediated by numbers doesn't itself absolve you of anything.
The custom useFetch wrapper in Nuxt docs [1] will not allow autocomplete and type infers for APIs written with Nitro. I worked around it using type gymnastics.

To support "Login with Google" you have to do some config on the Google side. You have to tell them, this ils my app, this is the URL you have to redirect back to after authenticating, and do on. Otherwise there would be security problems.
Honestly apples approach is pure security theater, as they're not an acquirer that process the transaction at the end.

Instead the real acquirer now reverses apples masking.

The merchants themselves aren't allowed to store the credit card information anyway, otherwise they'd lose their PCI certificate, losing the ability to process credit cards. And if they use a payment processor, then they didn't ever get in contact with the credit card information either.

No clue how/if Google does anything. I was just involved in implementing apple pay at a payment processor that was also an acquirer a few years ago. Ultimately, we've had the same information on the consumer, wherever they used Apple pay or just a regular credit card
Eh, maybe not in Australia. Remember Australia doesn't have like 5 million banks, we have essentially 4 big ones and they already are pretty cutting edge vs US/Canadian banks. i.e instant transfers are normalized, NFC is the norm, apps and Internet banking have been very good for about 10 years.

If the NFC chips were opened up through regulation I have zero doubt Australian banks would just say "we support contactless with our first party app" and that would be the end of that until Apple asked for a more reasonable cut.

When all your banks suck and Apple seems to be the only people with their shit together, sure but Australia doesn't live in that world.

Why does anyone care about anyone else's opinions? I think it's pretty reasonable to take issue with others assuming that you made a particular decision because you hadn't fully thought through the consequences. Do you like having people second-guess your decisions, or does it annoy you?
City planning produces traffic. Blaming drivers is a lazy evasion of responsibility. Large sections of Robert Caro's Power Broker pretty much explains exactly why there's traffic in the city and how it was baked in by the mid 20th century. If anyone is driving in or driving through Manhattan it's because they have to, not because they prefer it over pretty much any other alternative. It's a cash grab, pure and simple with absolutely no reasonable expectation for traffic reduction following this initiative. The residents "dealing with the costs" also need things delivered or a ride to the places mass transit doesn't support and you better believe that the extra $15 dollars will be something that will find its way in the already inflated costs of living in NYC.

> The EU is poor. It has been mismanaging itself for years: they should be doing better than they are. Is this caused by outside vectors or the leadership, or maybe the structure (too many cooks in EU kitchen)?

> Is the vision of the world the EU wants 15-25 years out strong?

> Is the world the EU would create good for the EU - 30 years out? I’d argue it’d be a comfortable one. But a poor and weaker one.

The EU vision isn't just about economy and making money. This is something that the US will never understand because money and unrestricted capitalism is the only thing that counts there. The US truly doesn't understand that any other model can work, because the only way they measure success is $$$.

Whereas we in Europe care more about quality of life, a safety net etc. Our bank accounts are a means to that end but not a goal in themselves.

Of course Europe is quite different depending on the area with Netherlands and the UK also very neoliberal but most of the other countries are way more moderate.

I often get this disconnect even with my Dutch friends. They don't understand why I won't move back to Holland as I could make twice as much there in the same role. But the cost of living is also higher and more importantly the quality of life is much lower. People in Spain truly enjoy life much more.

For example during lunch a Dutch person would have a quick sandwich at the canteen so they can head off home early and beat the traffic jam. They always want to have the prettiest house and the fanciest car and work hard for it. So hard they lose time to enjoy those things. In Spain we go for lunch to a restaurant to have a three course meal with a glass of wine and after work we often grab a beer or two and sit in the sun. Most of my colleagues don't even own a car.

Life feels way more real to me here.
Statistically it barely registers against a backdrop of male guards raping and impregnating women in womens prison.

ie. While technically 'true' it's a massive amplification of an anti trans talking point at the expense a mauch larger real issue that's ignored .. because the propogators don't actually care about women in prison, that's just a mask of concern for the sake of the pretence.
If we could eat fire to sustain ourselves, then that would be a cogent point.
The Fragility of Character in a Truth-Challenged World
I'm not denying your experiences - I was reasoning using my own. I did not have a typical upbringing - I'm felt like an outsider and went to a different school for like 7 years in a row.

Clearly your circumstances dictated your options. Nowadays, in this truly oligarchic economy, most young people simply don't feel they'll ever be able to afford a home or family either (which is a massive regression). Perhaps the future means - you raise your family in your parents house (with their help)... if you trust your parents.

Agreed about better support for families and housing.
At the end of the day, most work done by technical teams within Defense Agencies is implementation, and the R&D related work is done by specific vendors or very autonomous labs (either National Labs or a specific PI at a University)

This is how it works at the Fed just like any other corporation, as well as with any other peer country.

While there are internal R&D projects, most agencies aren't having their engineers design and productionize bespoke environments from scratch - they're implementing existing tooling and buying it off the shelf.

For example, if you want an internal cloud platform, you'll just use Azure GovCloud. If you want to spin up a K8s cluster, you'll spin up an AKS cluster. Want to protect your cluster? You'll just purchase an off the shelf CNAPP.

For defense, R&D is important, but that isn't the DoD's forte and distracts from it's core mission, which is why they offload innovation to the private sector. Even the USSR did this to a certain extent by the 1970s by supporting defense corporations like Mikoyan and Sukhoi that basically operated as state owned corporations that competed with each other.

The issue is the amount of suppliers in the US has shrunk dramatically since the 1990s due to the compliance overhead and requirements such as a single platform DoD wide (a major reason for F35 cost overruns).

On top of that, any fundamental research requires a significant amount of paperwork to justify funding and sets limits on salaries for PIs and Postdocs that are significantly lower than market rate.

Basically, American private industry has largely been divorced from the MIC, and aside from a handful of major enterprises, there isn't an incentive to enter the procurement space. We've accidentally remade the entire 70s-80s Soviet procurement system in the US today.

There are some changes happening in Software and Satellite procurement, but not as much in other sectors like Avionics.
We are here. It's already happened.
>why did almost all of the RISC chips from the 1980s and 1990s fail?

Citation needed.

>Why aren't we using them today?

Because we are using better chips made recently, not the ones from the 80s and 90s.

>Why are Amazon, Google, and Microsoft buying an enormous number of x64 chips?

Because performance vs cost in the current market, as well as access to x86 software moat.

But this is changing. Notably, Amazon has Graviton, Microsoft was Windows for ARM with grease for x86 software, and Google has a digital design team, which is already iterating RISC-V based accelerators.

Facebook, FAANG you have not mentioned, has its own RISC-V server effort.

>I don't think instruction set really matters that much

And yet, you're writing this very opinionated comment about ISAs.

>RISC was a great idea

Yes, it was. This is why the industry did never again make a tabula rasa CISC ISA.

>At this point, RISC's proponents had to start explaining why a better instruction set did not translate into a faster chip.

The RISC chips actually were faster. But this did not matter, as Intel had the better fabs, and the cash.

So Intel was able bruteforce its way into enough performance for cheap enough that the market would then not bother going through the pain of switching ISAs.

>without supplying better chips.

The chips were better despite Intel's fab advantage. But they were not cheaper, nor did it run the software the market wanted to run.

They sure sold these Pentiums, and were able to buy (and kill) Alpha later.

The one and only reason x86 survives to date is this software moat.

This moat advantage is in danger now, thanks to Microsoft's efforts to detach Windows from x86 and provide emulation to handle the transition like Apple did.
The data disagrees with you. Tech isnt doing well post pandemic but average real wages are up and most people report being in a better financial position than they were pre covid.
> Not everyone can rely on parents to help with childcare, but it is worth keeping in mind that if you wait until your mid 30's they might not be able to catch a running toddler like they could a decade earlier.

Starting having kids in our 20s is the best decision my wife and I ever made. When my daughter was born, my parents (then in their early 60s) got a decade younger overnight. I wish we hadn’t spaced them out so much (27-37) because indeed my parents are not able to keep up with the littlest one like they could with the first two.

Ask HN: Can you make decent money working on Game Engines?
It’s well known the game industry is a notorious place. Over worked, underpaid, and motivated by everyone’s love for gaming.

I’m really not a big gamer since my youth, but im still fascinated by game engines and other dev technology. I’d like to work on unreal or any other large scale project really. The problem is I’m always so burnt out by my cloud automation job I don’t know where to begin. I’d essentially be going back to school.

Do the negative aspects of the industries culture bleed into core engine development?
Do you have any more info on this KVM back end for Virtualbox? I love Virtualbox (I know, I know) but the one annoying thing is the dependency on out of tree kernel modules (at least they’re open source though).
If this is the case, is there a way to protect against it? Is there a way to keep the data encrypted? Thinking along the lines of bitlocker on windows.
Before I read this comment, I thought the tax was a good idea, but honestly this changed my mind. NYC is a rich man's city; $15 isn't going to dissuade anyone but the poorest folks. Rip out parking spaces instead
Its also cultural. Office hours never even crossed.my.mind.

Who am i to take a full hour of the prof? Am i a remedial student? Ive never had to consult with anyone for my grades. What is this tutor everyone speaks of? My parents never had to pay for any tutor.

For me, the whole office hours its like eating raw meat. You know people do it. But you are not running on those circles, you donr go to those restaurants, and you dont even know the food name and you couldn't tell if it was raw meat even if someone threw it at your face.

Its a resource for those willing to take advantage of the system as it is set up. And in the odd case everyone does, well, eventually the service degrades enough so that one of the students eventually creates an app for it.

And even back then he wasn't completely wrong. Yes, people laugh at his assertion that "nobody would want to shop online rather than go to a mall" but the dot-com crash of 2000-2001 did kill off most online shopping venues.

Drivers also supply positive externalities by engaging in commerce with associated consumer surplus. No one is driving into Manhattan for the thrill of it.
If he got 3 interviews off of hundreds of applications, he probably isn't having a lot of opportunity to revise his salary requirements. Unless it's just absurdly high, that probably isn't the issue keeping him unemployed.

Many great CEOs of engineering-focused companies are pure suits with no engineering background.

The CEO is mostly a figurehead, whose only actual responsibilities are to manage the investors and build out a leadership team.

Some CEOs take on more, but they really don't need to in order to run a successful company.
Grasping at straws here, late stage capitalism is.

FWIW, Manhattan commercial real estate goes for about $80/ft²/yr. A parking space therefore costs about $40/day in real estate rent, so $15/day is well below costs.
The fact that the DOJ may be able to win the case does not make an antitrust case like this the correct way to legislate how we want companies to operate.

It would be SO MUCH SIMPLER to just pass a law that says “sideloading has to be legal, easy, and free”. That’s all it would take.

Or maybe “all cell phones must support RCS.”

But not only have we not done that, the lawsuit against Apple for being a monopoly on the App Store was won by Apple. A court said they are legally in the clear. Apple already said they were adding RCS before this whole thing started.

So the DOJ has come up with a bunch of issues, some of which that don’t even seem relevant anymore, in an attempt to draw out concessions from Apple in a settlement to get what they couldn’t get through previous court cases. Or perhaps win a verdict and charge them a whole bunch of money for stuff that doesn’t matter all that much because again, some of the stuff they seem to be really mad about Apple already won on in another trial.

The DOJ is supposed to be about enforcement, not creating the laws. This is not how this process should be working. And as Gruber and others have pointed out, if you have to twist a bunch of hundred plus year-old laws to try to come up with a case to do something that could’ve been done with a single stroke of a pen… maybe that’s what you should’ve done instead.

I haven’t seen anyone saying who is arguing that Apple should 100% get out of all of this and they’re not doing anything wrong. Gruber and many others in the app world have been saying for years that Apple’s blatant greed is going to get them a smack down, and they’ll lose some of their good policies along with the bad.

People are arguing that the lawsuit doesn’t seem well-made and that it shouldn’t how the government accomplishes its goals in the first place anyway.
To be clear, I'm in favor of the right to repair here. But I think the concern is not someone parting out a car in a public parking space, but rather stealing a car from a public parking space and parting it out at a second location?

Most of these gripes exist in all modern ecosystems as a consequence of heterogenous and expansive markets of computer hardware. SoC-land is much, much worse. As an exercise, I'd recommend you try porting 9front to a random unsupported SBC. Personally, after a month of reverse engineering and running into really fun and cool hardware bugs, I gave up.

> Why do we need a damn ACPI interpreter?

Because ACPI is still used and for good reason. The lack of an equivalent in virtually every other ISA ecosystem is enough to laugh them out of the room whenever anyone suggests they're a viable alternative.

Are you a software developer, analyst, engineer, hobbyist, or someone else who writes software? Well, I have a new product you might be interested in.

The MVC REST API Builder I wrote is designed to help write MVC APIs (if that wasn't obvious), specifically C# .Net REST APIs. This app lets you put in simple information and it'll create controllers, repositories, and models for you, along with other redundant code that's boring and repetitive to write. It can also take in C# models or a SQL schema and do the same thing. And you can do multiple controllers, models, or SQL tables at the same time, so you can build a whole API in just a few minutes.

Now, it won't build your company specific business logic, but it'll build something like 90% of the rest of your code. And that business logic is the interesting stuff anyway.

This app only produces C# .Net code, but it should work with .Net Core 2.0 through .Net 8.0. And I'm going to be working on adding PHP, NodeJS, Java, and possibly other server-side language so you can build those APIs, or even convert between them with ease.

This app uses the Marketplace app I also wrote, which allows you to buy credits for the MVC API Builder app and any other app I build in the future.

And both of these apps use a NodeJS OAuth2 API (which I also wrote) for secure logins.

Heh ok, sorry for assuming Canada would be as bad as the US.
I replied to this. The bad weather, etc, amounts to an 11% reduction in crop.

Cocoa is very elastic, so an 11% reduction in crop should not lead to a 300% increase in prices. The normal thing instead would for people to eat less chocolate until there is enough supply, with only minimal change in prices.

Instead there's something weird going on - tell me, would you buy a chocolate snack that costs 3 times as much as last year? Or would you buy a different snack instead?
