I wonder if there's something common between crypto and AI leading to the cloud of grift and predation around the ecosystems and common uses of the respective technologies. Or if this is where society is at now and it will happen with any new technology regardless.
It's pretty expensive to take cash. First, you have to keep a float of money for change. Then you have to secure the cash until you deposit it in the bank. Then sink some time into counting and depositing it, before being charged by your bank for depositing cash. That must very quickly add up to a percentage point or 2.

I switched to fastmail from gmail a few months ago and I'm incredibly happy with it. I even got to keep my *@mydomain wildcard addresses, and the fastmail calendar implementation is not half bad.
Has someone patented a Pi-hole-like HDMI passthrough that blocks out and mutes all ads using SponsorBlock or "AI" mechanisms?
I disagree with the part where "You need a strong math background". And also usual school doesn't give you that "strong math background".

What you need is motivation, passion and creativity to achieve a certain goal. It's not a prerequisite to have a strong math background to be able to create a game.

All of these things can be Googled - and even easier nowadays ChatGPT can help you out with learning those things without this type of background required.

Especially as a kid.

I wish I had something like Roblox as a kid. What I used to do was I drew on papers like a story game where different decisions led you to different next set of papers, because I didn't have a computer and/or no one taught me actual coding.
Past a certain table size, the JS libraries will use less memory. DOM elements take a lot of memory. Libraries like ag-grid only render a small portion of the total table at a time.

The next performance gain web tables comes from using a binary encoding instead of JSON, particularly arrow. Perspective uses arrow (in addition to rendering to canvas).

IME building buckaroo on top of ag-grid, I can render the table with up to about 300k elements very performantly with just JSON. Rendering speed is a non factor because only 50 rows are rendered at a time. Moving to arrow-js should be about 3 times faster for the entire system (python serialize, js deserialize, js render). Beyond 900k elements, you really want to lazily load from the server as the user scrolls. The memory usage for just the data in the browser tends to slow things down. (I am working on a library and benchmark for different serialization techniques).
You link for support for your opinion thar all drugs are benign to a Wiki entry if a scientist who died in 1922—-before there was a field of neuroscience?

My rejoinder could be 10,000 peer-reviewed papers in this millennium.
100k isn’t worth anywhere near what it used to due to inflation. It might get you a nice pickup truck or a kitchen remodel. If your business is doing research and can’t spend then it’s more of a hobby than a business.
Aren't they put into the .rodata section of the binary?

Crashing is exactly what happens, thankfully

No, they're probably earning a fortune they'll be proud to pass down to their grandchildren.
I am surprised that Congress has not really found out about Roblox and dragged the execs into a hearing. If they only knew what went on with that platform. There are so many dark patterns that directly target children.

Of course it would be all grandstanding and nothing will be fixed, but I am really surprised they are missing out on "owning" one of the more shady tech companies.
Do you have any tutorials do achieve all this? Thanks.

I thought GP was referring to generating heat for HVAC, which is an interesting idea. I assume one challenge would be getting the warmth from the brakes to the cabin.
We do get the promised throughput, but it depends on the destination as you've discovered. AWS actually has some docs on this[0]:

- For instances with >= 32 vCPUs, traffic to an internet gateway can use 50% of the throughput

- For instances with < 32 vCPUs, traffic to an internet gateway can use 5 Gbps

- Traffic inside the VPC can use the full throughput

So for us, that means traffic outbound to the public internet can use up to 5 Gbps, but for things like our distributed cache or pulling Docker images from our container builders, we can get the full 12.5 Gbps.

I helped set this up at my workplace and can second that it works fairly well, but it definitely does have scale issues (we tend to exhaust our GH org's API ratelimit and end up being unable to scale up sometimes, as well as seeing containers be prematurely terminated because the scale down lambda doesn't seem to always see them in the GH API) and it's definitely lacking a lot of tooling around building runner images and caching optimization that we ended up building in-house.

Definitely linking OP to my team now.

How many 65" Displays with Display Port are there? Also, don't nVidia GPUs only support the nearly 10 year old Display Port 1.4, which doesn't support variable refresh rates for high resolution/high framerate displays? Sure, buying an AMD GPU is a solution, if you don't mind worse drivers and higher power usage for less performance.

(To be clear: I want HDMI to die, DisplayPort to win, and AMD to get their crap together. But at the end of the day, we need support on both the GPU and the Monitor/TV side, and that's where it's lacking.)
C2PA would be better onchain so maybe you could do a proof of concept implementation of that
On that note, ZFS has a hidden ".zfs" directory for accessing filesystem snapshots.

That works with ZFS shared over the network (samba, etc) too, which can be useful. :)
GitHub has a colo presence in Frankfurt so pulling repos from Europe is quick.
In 2018, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, SVP Diane Greene, SVP Urs Hölzle, and top engineer Jeff Dean built a system like Lavender for the US military (Project Maven). The US military planned to use it to analyze mass-surveillance drone footage to pick suspects in Pakistan for assassination. They had already dropped bombs on hundreds of houses and vehicles, murdering thousands of suspects and their families and friends [0].

I was working in Urs's Google Technical Infrastructure division. I read about the project in the news. Urs had a meeting about it where he lied to us, saying the contract was only $9M. It had already been expanded to $18M and was on track for $270M. He and Jeff Dean tried to downplay the impact of their work. Jeff Dean blinked constantly (lying?) while downplaying the impact. He suddenly stopped blinking when he began to talk about the technical aspects. I instantly lost all respect for him and the company's leadership.

Strong abilities in engineering and business often do not come with well-developed morals. Sadly, our society is not structured to ensure that leaders have necessary moral education, or remove them when they fail so completely at moral decisions.

Why would paying with the Walmart app be lower cost to Walmart? Both the Walmart app and Apple Pay are essentially, as far as payments go, just digital wallets that you can store credit card information in.

When you use them it is still a charge to one of those credit cards.

It might actually cost Walmart more in my case, because the card I have on file has larger rewards for online purchases than it does for in-store purchases, and the Walmart app processes purchases as online even when made in-store. If I pay with the physical card it is processed as in-store.
I usually see this only in tourist traps, where the EUR/USD price is 120% or more of the "local" price.
Has someone created an enshittification standard scale (ESS) where we can just rate what stage a company is at? It could actually be useful as I would guess that there is probably a good correlation to poor long term financial performance at high ESS.
Enough with the daily stuff. I would like to actually play the game you made.
I agree with this, but being pedantic is it actually possible to replicate weights exactly? My intuition would be that training is non-deterministic / reproducible, though you should be able to achieve equivalent results given the same inputs
The $750,000 amounts to a cap on the deduction. If your mortgage is in excess of that amount, you would pro-rate the deductible interest accordingly.

I think it's reasonable to say that the folks with the largest mortgages are the ones most likely to itemize mortgage interest, even if they are capped.
Suno is pretty cool. If I had to guess this uses Suno's Bark and Facebook's MusicGen? The output of the latter is used as conditional layers for the prior similar to ControlNet?

Anyway, what will be interesting is when this can be done locally on consumer hardware with open-source AI, a nice UI and Vulkan/DirectML GPU inference.
I had the same experience. Once I figured it out though, it made for a really fun mechanic. Better I think than what I expected (that I could "enter" the tile from any direction).
we all need all kinds of perspectives in the discourse of how to proceed I think! my usage of "crusade" may have been loaded, I can respect your approach
Think of all the unpaid labor that people perform on behalf of social networks though.

Sure, they get value out of it (I guess?) but the platform makes money off of it, and the creator does not.

Roblox could work that way too, and if kids today are anything like kids when I was one, there would still be a ton of content created regardless of compensation.

I think it's good that Roblox pays out. They don't have to.

But I'd never be stupid enough to call it a "gift" in the presence of a reporter. Where was the PR minder??
C++ is a weird language that essentially combines both a high-level type system whose details of representations and whatnot can be freely modified by a sufficiently smart compiler with a low-level bytemucking type system, and the interface between the two systems is gnarly and confusing and std::launder is lying in a pit on this border.

The point of std::launder is to let you use an object that would otherwise be undefined behavior to use. The original motivating example for std::launder essentially boils down to "you can't properly make std::vector<T> if T has a const member variable without std::launder," although C++ later did change the object model (after this feature had been accepted!) so that std::vector works without std::launder.

The residual use of std::launder has to do with vtables (which are important properties of an object yet not properly part of the object model because it's a high-level thing, not a low-level thing) after placement new, which is an extremely niche thing that truly almost nobody needs to care about and probably doesn't deserve a place in the standard library. libc++ overloads it to use it as a way to indicate intentional strict aliasing violations, but this is still UB per the standard.
Yep, and even with it being possible, no one's bothered to make it usable for email hyperlinks, hence the problem. The (attempt at an) RFC I linked avoids depending on the other side tracking the MessageID, assuming only things they would want to store.
Ah, this is what Tesla meant when he said "You May Live to See Man-Made Horrors Beyond Your Comprehension."
Check out a five-year chart to put all this in perspective. It's up nearly 50% over the last five years.

> What's the fee for counterfeit cash? Or illegally gained cash?

What's the fee for credit card chargebacks from stolen cards, or chargeback fraud from customers who receive a product and then dispute the charge anyway?

> What's the fee for cash the requires quite a bit of change?

There are machines that count coins and issue exact change. If you do a lot of cash business, you buy one. For example, the self-checkout machines at Walmart do this.

The largest denomination still issued for US cash is $100, so no cash transaction will require more change than this, and some merchants don't accept large bills for small transactions.

> What's the fee for cash that is composed of very small values (e.g. quarters and dimes for a tv)?

How often do you think that actually happens?

Also, how are costs like this to be avoided unless you stop accepting cash whatsoever, and thereby lose business? Just eating the credit card fees instead of passing them on isn't going to stop someone with a jug full of nickels from wanting to spend them.

> Handling cash isn't free and carries risk.

Nothing is free. How about the time value of money for the time it takes for the credit card companies to pay you, as opposed to cash which you can immediately spend or deposit and begin collecting interest on?

The issue is that credit card companies have the usual set of costs and then on top of that charge significant transaction fees and shift the cost of various types of fraud to the merchant even though they're the ones who designed the system that makes it easy to carry out.
You can build old Xeon based but only has 40 lane PCIe. For training 8 GPUs how do you push data fast? I’m using 7000 series Epyc for this to get 128 lanes. Have you built this kind of machine? You see good speed with 40 lane? Curious because then I can use old Tyan motherboard which comes in full case with good layout for multi GPU. Epyc based I have to use riser and custom frame which is painful.

New Tyan more costly but great case layout.
That's a needlessly harsh judgement! To use an analogy, one should reasonably be able to attend a forensics conference without ending up as a forensics case themselves. Also, generative AI isn't just for creating fakes.
I had a similar thought, I would assume the patent is meant to be used defensively to discourage something downstream of Roku from injecting ads.

If Roku wants to display ads, they can already do so if the content originated from their system. If Roku is displaying content originated from an external system, that external system can display their own ads to defeat the detection of pause events. (DirecTV already does this).
Sadly, I'm in agreement with the GP. I started programming freshmen year of high school on my own because my school did not offer courses. I also wrote my own fiction book and self-published it sophomore year. Whenever I showed my homemade video games and physical book to my teachers I received a "good job" and that's it. I did not receive any help, special instruction, or extra credit. Most of the courses, outside of literature and math, were not applicable whatsoever. My takeaway is that our compulsory education system is not optimized for the self-directed student.

Theoretically it means you wouldn't need much manual data engineering. "Just throw AI at our data problem and give me interesting/actionable info"

All music at this point is largely ambient music and Muzak.

The future is obviously a form of custom AI Muzak/Ambient music with a few pop stars for people to focus on.

I am a big fan of more art type music and guess what? No one listens to it. My fav album of 2023 has 6.4k views on youtube. At least a 100 of those are mine. No one listens to this stuff. People watch video critic reviews of more art type music than the actual music itself.

A little bit hard to see how this is relevant to a thread about Introducing improvements to the fine-tuning API and expanding our custom models program.
I have mixed views on this.

Long Tesla: If prices are falling, costs must be falling. Surely the $4500 USD Chinese EV represents close to the true long term minimum cost of producing one of these. Margins compared to ICE are going to be awesome and only get better.

Short Tesla: In 10 years, we'll look back at taxpayer funded lithium ion EV as policy failure, as well as an unmitigated environmental disaster from heavy metals mining and battery disposal, as well as a structure and vehicle insurance disaster due to adverse collision and fire risk. If the technology is so great, it should stand on its own merit, without the excessive subsidies. Failure of FSD isn't helping.

As for Hertz, sucks to suck. Not much silver lining for the company. Sounds like they need to die and get replaced by manufacturers going direct with rentals.
So the moral argument comes down to "it's slimy"?
I'd start with the question: where do you want them to go? Windowing systems generally don't have a 'limbo' where windows can live without being displayable, and that probably isn't what you want, either.

Do you want them all to auto-minimize? You can probably get that. But it starts with answering the question.
I love art made by non-human intelligences. I especially love how it can transcend and redefine loved mediums by combining them in surreal ways that are otherwise quite difficult to obtain. Algorithmic exploration of mediums outpaces mere mortal "effort" in its efficiency and in doing so raises the bar for what constitutes media worth giving our attention to.
It is slightly better search results compared to Google, but only just. The game changer in search is seeing the results without stupid ads. If they offered just that feature for $0.99/month, I would switch. Their current price is simply too high for daily use.
I love these sorts of unintended consequences.

I suspect it will be changed rather quickly once large business travel customers catch on to that particular loophole.
Which is good for 100% of my use cases, since I don't deal with real time systems, or performance intensive applications, or memory/allocation constrained environments.

Canadian house prices are up 40% in the last 15 years. That's less than inflation.

Yes, they are super expensive, but they were even more super expensive 15 years ago. Canada didn't get the 2008 crash that the US did.
Congrats to the PopSQL team. Similar thing happened to Arctype about a year ago (acquired by ClickHouse), although at a much smaller scale.

Still small, independent, and profitable here at Beekeeper Studio. :-)

They're actually not. Out of bounds indexing is fine, you just get undefined as the result.

I can't tell if you are joking.

It seems like you are implying the reason we do stuff is to make money, or at least the main motivating factor for you, or you believe it is for most people.

I started working in a factory when I was about 13 casually, and by 14 I was putting in enough hours for my technical apprenticeship.

During those years I did get paid, and I was thankful for it, but I definitely wasn't doing it for the money, and I was still going to school and then to college in parallel.

I'm sure things are different these days. It just makes me sad to think personal progress is somehow conflated with earning money.

With regard to the article. I think given what we know about social networks and young minds, it's already been shown to be a toxic mix. Getting kids on the capitalistic treadmill so young seems extremely cynical and it really does concern me.
I used to think so, too, but solved this the following:

Hanging EVERYTHING. Not only shirts and jackets, but also t-shirts, pants, shorts.

This leaves one drawer each for socks and underwear, which both is not horrible from a laundry management perspetive.
That's doing nothing but recapitulating the partisan nitpickery in the decision. My point was that the court had copious ways to enforce the technicalities under the law without maximally (!) interfering with the operation of the regulatory agency. They chose not to, not because of any genuine concern for the law but because they wanted to dick with the EPA for partisan reasons.
Yes, a user-swappable would be even better, but even limiting it to banker's hours allows you a five minute complete fill-up, which is still 100x than what it actually takes to fully charge via outlet, or even the 15 minutes you would take if you're lucky enough to find an available supercharger, which still only gives you 200 miles.
If Roblox did not give any money to creators, would that make it okay?

Ideological consistency is difficult.
There are few truths; some say only one. Unfortunately there are many many ways to lie.
So pretty much every hospital, school, and over 60% (nearly 300,000) residences have been destroyed in Gaza, leaving well over a million displaced. You are a genocide supporter.
This is one of the reasons I groan every time there's a new selfhosting thing that uses Docker. It's easy to start because all the wiring is there and everyone already makes their apps available with a Dockerfile, but it's not a remotely good solution for selfhosting and people should stop trying to use it that way.
You should try Apple Pay (or maybe Google Pay?) It addresses all those pain points and more, while still giving you the consumer protections and fast transactions of cards.

My 8 year old son was not psyched when I told him “no Roblox”…

…instead I dragged out a bunch of old Xbox 360/One games and let him enjoy a world free of microtransactios, casino inspired skill trees and loot boxes, and weird sex predators.

At first he resisted, then he fell in love with Portal and Command and Conquer and forgot about Roblox.

I feel bad for kids now that are just getting sucked into these engagement hacked “games”. No fun.
Yes, you can absolutely play god of the gaps.
Yeah I often see small print on the fuel cost per gallon as "cash price" .. I assume this happens mostly on low-margin products.
Ironically the fully skippable commercials on cable TV with a DVR are the best deal we can get anymore, anything in the streaming world can take control of the video stream away from you.
