Has anyone ever successfully coded in this language? I've tried. Lord knows I've tried.
One thing everyone should keep in mind about this NVIDIA/AMD battle right now: CUDA has been published for 16 years, it's been a huge push by NVIDIA to do GPGPU computation. I remember seeing it as a new thing in university back then, after the advanced shaders that were only available on NVIDIA.

NVIDIA pretty rightful has the lead there, because they worked and invested into it for something like 20 years (you could do pretty advanced shaders on NVIDIA pre-CUDA).

It only started to pay off recently, and especially with the AI hype (GPU mining was nice, too).

Now everybody is looking at the profits and goes like "OMG, I want a part of that cake!", either by competing (AMD / Intel) or by paying less for the cards (basically everyone else in the AI space).

But you have to catch up to 16 years of pretty solid software and ecosystem development. And that's only going to work if you have good enough hardware. NVIDIA did the hard work here. They have earned this lead.

I am saying this as someone who would rather not buy NVIDIA. I really wish I can soon throw 1-2 7900XTX into a machine and use it for LLMs without issues. But I would also bet that it takes at least a few more years to catch up, even with the massive global interest.
Why do they say "almost" infected the world? At least 3 quite popular Linux distributions (arch, gentoo, and opensuse tumbleweed) ended up shipping the backdoor _for weeks_ , and it was most definitely working in at least tumbleweed. For weeks! A backdoored ssh! Hardly "almost".
Also it's not like this attack would have been impossible if systemd hadn't done that. As soon as anything loaded xz it could pretty much do what it wanted. Slightly more of a pain but not difficult.
We also slowly but surely are moving towards IPv6 which will make reputation based on IP somewhat useless when I can have as many new IP addresses as I want. They would have to make all newly seen IPv6 addresses not trusted by default when bad actor could send each email from different IPv6 address.
Because that’s how people use llms. You go to ChatGPT to ask a question and get an answer, rather than searching on Google, revising your search because you didn’t know a term, and then look at 3-5 different links to find the answer to what you were searching for
Fantastic job Steve.

The digital economy doesn’t always offer desirable alternatives as former ways of working and living are destroyed

In Automatic Society, Volume 1: The Future of Work (2016), Stiegler shows how big data can standardise our world by reorganising work and employment. Digital tools were first seen as a disruptive force that could break the monotonous rhythms of large industry, but the rise of flexible forms of employment in the gig economy has created a massive underclass. A new proletariat of Uber drivers and other precarious workers now labour under extremely unstable conditions. They are denied even the traditional protections of working-class employment. The digital economy doesn’t always offer desirable alternatives as former ways of working and living are destroyed."""
Setting a lower resolution format via "ytdl-format=..." in the mpv.conf file may resolve that. Personally I also use "pause=yes" and find that the few extra seconds it has to cache also helps.
bsnes' creator collected all the NTSC cartridges, I believe (USA and Japan, even the rare ones that were Japan-only special editions) but I don't think they managed to get a full PAL set.

All the enhancement chips used in officially licensed games were collected, decapped, and dumped via an electron microscope. Yes, even the ones only used by a single Shougi game each. :)

It's been reported that both Fedora and Ubuntu's valgrind rigs flagged this, actually, which is why the package changes hadn't propagated to those distros yet. It's true that they didn't get as far as recognizing the root cause because Andres beat them to it, but the security infrastructure was absolutely doing its job.
Avadhuta Gita - a treatise on the non-dual nature of reality and consciousness.

The allegation is that - the boundary between the “I” and “else”, that the “I” so strongly attaches itself to, is an illusion.

The other claim is that, with meditation, one can experience this truth and there is no greater joy.
Because they are one and the same?
It would be good to see some independent verification of this claim. HN has previously [1] fallen for a claim by the same author to have reduced llama.cpp memory usage for a dense model way below the size of the model, which should have failed a basic smell test and indeed was debunked shortly after. Justine Tunney appears to enjoy extreme superstar status here, and it's hard to overstate the degree of social pressure that needed to be overcome at the time for the skeptic position to reach fixation (to begin with, what other LLM developments even hit upvote numbers like the +1300ish there or the +712 here at the time of writing?).

I know the texture of the wheels on a roller ship (or the hull on a traditional ship) determines its drag coefficient.

Are there materials that let us change that on the fly? For example, can we apply a magnet to the back of some material to change its surface to increase or decrease its coefficient of drag?

It is not false.
Remember that the vulnerability was introduced by distributions patching sshd to talk to systemd. It doesn't make sense for a distribution to patch sshd like this unless they use systemd. Thus, choosing another init system may save you indirectly, even though you're right that this is really about the linking.

Ultimately, the attacker deemed systemd to be common enough to consider it as the way to hijack sshd, but indirect enough to avoid discovery by audit. It says something about software monoculture.

Unfortunately, most people wouldn't care enough to put up with any extra friction, and eventually you'd be against the tide and increasingly locked out of interacting with modern society.

I've watched a fair number of weed smoker's lives (~10) and they fall into two distinct categories.

One set smoke weed and then partake in creative, explorative, or otherwise effort filled pursuits. Generally I feel that weed has likely improved their lives.

The other set smoke weed and consume... consume tv, consume video games, consume food, consume music. These people seem to fall into a slump that weed seems to participate in keeping them in. Weed lowers the bar to enjoy yourself and thus raises the bar for other activities. If weed and video games feels good, then why call up friends and go bowling? It's not addictive, but it does have a kind of gravity because it's an activity that participates in the economy of potential activities. For these people weed entertains them, at the cost of them becoming a more boring person.
I think foreign and domestic are fuzzier than people imagine. Lots of companies are nominally American, but when it comes time to pay taxes, all of a sudden a lot of their revenue is really happening in another country.
Can you add some technical description on what it does? Is it for DB data (and what kind of DBs does it support) or just for blobs?

> I studied math, so I can never understand the insistence that the truth of the fourier transform is that it converts from the time domain into the frequency domain. What if you apply the fourier transform twice? Something similar is done in voice processing, and it's perfectly valid.

And I never understood the insistence of mathematicians to open with the generalized case when literally 99% of the use cases of a thing involve the more specialized use case. That is like a car mechanic telling you a part can be also used as a paperweigth when that is nearly never what it is used for.

Don't get me wrong here – I like to hear about other usecases of something – I also like to hear generalized explainations of a thing – but that isn't how you should start when you explain a mathematical concept. It is nearly always better to start with a common special case in which the gory details don't apply and explain why the concept is important and what it does for us to then branch out than the other way around. Turns out most people first need a motivation why they should invest their brain in a thing and only then they are willing to do it. I could have strangled my maths teacher when they consistently mentioned the application in a side comment after weeks of theory and then did as if that wasn't that important. Yeah if all you do is teaching math or doing math for maths sake, it isn't, but that isn't going to be many people. And the Fourier analysis was famously the solution to a few actual real world problems that were very hard to tackle otherwise – why not tell that story?

As I said, function spaces are cool, but maybe it is better to start with something else so people can appreciate it.
The net effect of this will be small, but the money quote is literally in the first line (emphasis mine)

> Covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions and *attacking President Biden* ahead of the election in November, according to researchers and government officials.

One must wonder why almost all foreign interests opposed to the United States maintaining our superpower status - the Russians, the PRC - are opposed to a particular candidate (President Joe Biden). The same thing happened in 2016 too, against a particular candidate (Hillary Clinton) by the Russians.

As a former President said, "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made."

That's largely true. Still, there seems to be a difference between what we think we want and what we actually want, but we can't usually tell the difference in the moment, only in hindsight.

Eventually we find out, because we stick to what we actually want and discard what we thought we wanted.

Which doc and which link are you referring to? This isn't anywhere in the class action discovery documents as far as I can tell.

TC reported back in 2019 on Facebook using various third-party testing services to distribute their first-party Facebook Research app, so I'm not even convinced that point is new (or that they paid the third parties to do any actual research).

https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/facebook-project-atlas/

Facebook would probably have run up against app store policies by trying to install their root cert on existing apps, which seems to be the most likely justification for installing this additional app through third-party channels. It's also a lot easier to avoid suspicion when it's part of a bunch of click-through screens as part of app setup (especially when you're dangling money in front of users, even just $20/month).
If LEO is involved, they wouldn't be disclosing evidence to avoid the public interacting with suspects or possibly leapfrogging them and tipping off someone new.

In this case the public would benefit from knowing quickly who are the bad actors and what other projects they touched.

I think a lot of people would also be interested to add a citizenship/immigration status field to these sorts of IDs in the US. To me it’s kind of crazy how much redundant data there is for people in the US and reconciling it across government systems myself is one of those things that drives me crazy.
While I’m not specifically opposed to this, you have to be careful about the edge cases and how they end up being rated. SQLite is a great example for the variables you started with:

> Size of team

3, with no outside contributions accepted into the core.

> The language

C

Those two, presumably, would end up being heavily weighted towards having a low score.

> Testing methodology

Here they’d probably get some points back based on their ~10:1 test lines vs code ratio.

If you owe $2,500+ in child support you can't apply for or renew your US passport. However, my understanding is that it's possible to flee if your existing passport is valid. (On the other hand, your existing US passport can be revoked if you have more than $50-60k (figure changes every year) unpaid federal tax debt).

Also it sounds like WSJ is counting Taiwanese businessmen (e.g. one who was sued by his German partner) which China doesn't consider foreigners.

I have the same gripe and in response published the notes to set up my self hosted email on my blog a few months ago [1]. It's really not that hard but yet we constantly see this topic on HN. I understand there are people who've set it up properly and still have their mail end up in spam. Maybe we're just lucky. But there's no need to write long pieces about this going into detail what this tech giant and that tech giant do. All you can do is set up DMARC, DKIM and SPF - that's it.

EDIT: Admittedly this post is also about bulk sending where other metrics like unsubscribe links and spaminess matter. But for the self hosted crew it really just comes down to DMARC, DKIM and SPF.

Nothing about too much nuance:

«My point was simple: if a cuckoo clock or a differential gear qualifies as a “proto-computer”, what doesn’t meet the bar? Almost any man-made tool performs some sort of a calculation.»

Its about the author arguing that an open definition of what a computer is, is too inclusive and uninteresting if you want to talk about the history of actual computers.
As someone currently working hard on a simple MVP for my own SaaS product, this is good advice for me.

When you’re building your own thing it’s easy to get carried away and spend too much time on increasingly granular details and endless scope creep. It’s not easy to keep it lean and actually get your product launched and in front of customers quickly.

The article’s approach - which should probably not be taken too literally in some cases - gets you to keep the end goal in mind. And the end goal of software development is almost always a business goal and not a technical one. Something else that’s often easy to lose sight of as a developer.
Sure, but handing over maintainership is a different situation from accepting a few PRs
> My main issue since legalization is I find the smell disgusting.

Tough luck.

I also dislike coffee breath, cigarette smoke, the smell of energy drinks, cinnamon chewing gum, perfumes, beer, dog shit, fertilizers, some garden flowers, car exhausts, ...

But on the bright side, there will be more variety in weed strains. They do smell differently. Some really are nasty, some are very pleasant. I absolutely love the smell of hashish, but I guess that's still gonna be rare.
AIM would spawn a new window for each conversation. That hardly seems like the pinnacle. Pidgin, with interop with a ton of protocols was superior, and was also an amalgam integrating numerous chat networks.
Isn't that what DMARC policy would prevent? If the emails being sent by the attacker are failing SPF/DKIM, then we can configure the DMARC policy so that Gmail never delivers those fake emails in the first place.
So that attack would not be happening.

Starling LM 7B Beta
"Jia Tan" was not a contributor, but a maintainer of the project. The key point here is that this is a multi-year project of infiltrating the xz project and gaining commit access.

In a large tech company (including ones I have worked at), sometimes you have policy where every change has to be code reviewed by another person. This kind of stuff isn't possible when the whole project only has 1-2 maintainers. Who's going to review your change other than yourself? This is the whole problem of OSS right now that a lot of people are bringing up.

I maintain a widely used open source project myself. I would love it if I could get high quality code review for my commits similar to my last workplace lol, but very very few people are willing to roll up their sleeves like that and work for free. Most people would just go to the Releases page and download your software instead.
> * Posts? Why can’t messages be more lightweight.

The alternative is group DMs but those come with many issues as well:

* They tend to proliferate every time you need to chat with a slightly different group of people;

* No support for threads whatsoever;

* Why is it in a completely separate place from "teams"?

> * No custom emojis like party parrot.

Custom emojis and gif search integration. I know Teams has the latter but it's clunky.

> * Total crapshoot whether it converts my three backticks into a code block.

Agree. Formatting a message in Teams is like playing the lottery. You have a chance of winning but really in all likelihood you will lose.

Slack's WYSIWYG editor is pretty bad as well, but: it's much, much better than Teams's; and I can disable it altogether.
There's clearly a demand for having an AI go through every public PR in terms of code quality and security. But something generic like ChatGPT-4 doesn't seem to be capable of catching this from just looking at the diffs.
Working on optimising the content creation process and a platform to review the creators for YouTube.

For the rating and review application, providing a platform where anyone can review the creator, and add a comment on channel level and video level. This will help both the creators and consumers. Trustpilot for YouTube channels and videos.

The next one is to build an E2E content delivery setup all in one platform - starting from research to script writing, thumbnail sharing and review, video review, followed by an approval step and publish it directly to YouTube Studio. Platform will have multiple role based profiles so that the channel owner no need to share the YouTube studio credentials with everyone and no need to do all the tasks on their own.
The attack described could not work with a strict DMARC policy.

However of course, most small companies have no idea how to do SPF/DKIM/DMARC.
