This whole comment sounds dismissive towards both me and RISC-V as an architecture people actually run their computers on.

I have a lot of blog posts that you can read to get up to speed. Or maybe you already made up your mind.
But your struct cannot provide an indexing operator (right?)
There's writing code to handle every eventuality, and there's considering 3-4 places you MIGHT pivot and making sure you aren't making those pivots harder than they need to be.
Forcing me into a voice assistant enabled at all times regardless though kills the whole thing. I end up preferring buttons and gui because the hands-free "assistance" is most often exercises in frustration and I conclude not worth it.

At this point many years of poor quality experience whenever I encounter voice processing is the matter. Happy to call me old, stupid, and bad at speech ... all are probably true. Still won't fix the frustrations I have for Siri, Tesla, Google-something, Bixby's button, and Alexa devices ... much less every customer service line now consistently apologizing that they didn't get that.

Carplay is leaps and bounds a better approach to gui/console in most cars. Much better than Subaru, Ford, Toyota or others can produce and there shouldn't be a voice assistant cost along with it.
A freak hailstorm could take an entire solar farm out, but otherwise they are pretty resilient. There are pictures of Ukrainian solar installations that continue operating after missile strikes. The panels that got hit stop working, but the rest keep supplying power.
Butchery != slaughter. And not many of those tourists can handle pig face, for example (I'm sure some of them force themselves to go through with it).
Fishers are infamous for flaunting the rules though. I think we can only judge this if we see records of other ships in the area.
I always assumed when the baby boomers retired there would be a flood of big family houses coming up for sale.

I see it in my parents that they're pretty comfortable staying in the family house as long as possible, I'm happy with this. It is made a lot easier by the fact that prices keep going up so staying in a house that is oversized financially is rewarding.

I'd like to think it'll all come to and end one day as the spiral reverses, but I've been wrong for so long now I'm losing faith.

What the article does not mention: plastic packages. Microplastics transport themselves and a lot of potentially harmful substances directly into the tissue.

And apart from food processing, a few years ago a study found that e.g. some modern carot varieties have only one third of the (Pro-)Vitamin A content of older varieties. I didn't see a big cross-sectional study to evaluate the overall impact, yet.
It didn't. It came from the Industrial Revolution and a step change in the productivity of british society. Many economic studies have shown that the "Empire" and especially parts of it like India, the African colonies etc were a net negative to Britain economically speaking. This should not be surprising - just as Afghanistan or Iraq were a net negative to the US more recently, but still allowed certain segments of US society (the military industrial complex) to enrich themselves at the expense of other parts.

Probably in 50 or 100 years there will be some Afghan nationalist movement which will be telling everyone that the entirety of US wealth is based on plunder of Afghanistan. That's roughly how it is with India nationalists and Britain today, but of course, it is nonsense.
I think the chips just happened to fall that way. Was Andy Warhol approached by other computer vendors? Probably not.
>Digital devices can absolutely intermittently function if voltages are outside a stable range in certain places

I know, but a digital device like a PC will either function or not. It wont change how it calculates based on voltage.
How about developing the "missing middle" in urban development.

Efficient and healthy land use for housing was solved in the 1900s - we don't need tiny homes.
It should have been written in C#, instead, the developers had to resort to silly optimization tricks that often never transpired.
Not OP, but for USB "full speed" devices (12 Mbps), you can use a saleae logic analyzer clone ($12) with the opensource pulseview which can decode USB frames and streams rather well.

Even with faster devices, you can usually force them down to 12 Mbps with a USB 1.1 hub for analysis and bugfixing of the driver/firmware, and then have the exact same code work fast without the hub.

On desktop, wireshark also has the ability to monitor USB data transfers for a software-only approach.
What dependency? Please tell me the technical reasons why it can't be replaced with any other assistant.

EU has been chasing Siri, among other "inseparatable" features, for years.
The risk aversion in product is not a new phenomenon, though. Bigger producers have been following that track since at least the 90s. Adherence to brand, and even more so to basic game genres and mechanics, has been an issue complained about by devs at any big enough studio for decades.

What changed, I think, is all of the development studios being bought up by large producers. But, then again, I see steam as being a great counterforce on this, and the ease of releasing on web or mobile has been a boon for indie devs too. So maybe that hasn't changed that much.

The technology has advanced to where you can spend blockbuster budgets and get nearly film-quality results (not nearly possible in the cartridge and CD days). Meanwhile the price per AAA title has stayed relatively fixed at 50-60 USD for that same range of time, so production houses have had to try being appealing to ever-larger audiences. Fortunately, many people continue playing these games into their 30s and 40s so the market grows on its own too.

I'm trying to say you're right about the risk aversion being a big part of the industry's problems but that's been an issue for a while, it has gotten terribly enhanced with the growth of the industry.

Now I wonder which is worse.. extracting money one quarter a time with punishingly difficult timing tests, or extracting money via cosmetics that have no actual game impact but are marketed very compellingly.
tbh I am so angry about this I dont even know with whom to be angry with in the first place. we just "got" here and everyone is just waving hands, especially politicians, that promise to fix housing crisis since 2000 and nothing happens, it just gets worse.
I think some heads need to fly, french revolution style and that needs to be this violent in order for elites to be afraid again, idk what else can help.
First statement is wrong. Just sales dropped, Tesla is earning money though. Tesla though has a strong story of broken promises on Automated Driving.

How would six terabytes fit into memory?

It seems like it would get a lot of swap thrashing if you had multiple processes operating on disorganized data.

I'm not really a data scientist and I've never worked on data that size so I'm probably wrong.
> It's not really a vendor thing but signal integrity issue.

So, running into the same limits that CPUs have been running into for a while?

To be clear, as this is often required on HN, I was speaking of a subset of spanking:

out of care and love, when they did things dangerous to themselves or others, and sometimes a strap or switch when something truly horrific was done.

In other words, never because fed up / angry. Never because of minor situations, and so on. For example, swearing isn't "dangerous to themselves or others". Spanking employed when the life of the child or others is involved, is a short-cut to locking an intense memory into long-term recall.

This sort of event is rare.

And to be frank? "Improved their lives" isn't necessarily important. Note how I state "dangerous to themselves or others"? Siblings and other children have to be taken into account.

Lastly, and take this from someone with grey hair, it wasn't until my 30s that I started to appreciate some of the discipline I disagreed with as a child. Disagreeing, doesn't mean it was wrong.
What kind of international law can we expect in the future? A law that is constantly broken by various maleficent actors? Of course we've heard them complain that the current order is run by the west and harmful to others. What are the alternatives? A hundred cables?
AI is the new "big data". In fact, AI as it is done today is nothing without at least terabytes of data.

What the article talks about is more like a particular type of database architecture (often collectively called "NoSQL") that was a fad a few years ago, and as all fads, it went down. It doesn't mean having lots of data is useless, or that NoSQL is useless, just that it is not the solution to every problem. And also that there is a reason why regular SQL databases have been in use since the 70s: except in specific situation most people don't encounter, they just work.

I wanted to make myself a tool to automatically generate the best version of my resume depending on the job I'm applying for, so that I would always pass AI screening. What a waste of time that would've been when you can simply send commands to GPT directly in the resume!
No, but I'm well aware disgusting people exist. People abuse other people, but we generally agree this isn't a good thing. Also, pulling a trigger from afar isn't the same thing. I also wonder how many of those "real men" lose sleep after the experience. Emperor's new clothes comes to mind.

Julia's autodiff packages, as well as PyTorch, can differentiate through branching code -the gradients simply flow through whatever branch was used in forward pass. However, derivatives with respect to conditional values, such as `a` in `if i > a`, are mathematically zero. If you plot a graph of how function value depends on a conditional `if i > a`, it is flat with a single drop when `i` becomes bigger than `a`. DiscoGrad, on the other hand, doesn't use true mathematical derivatives, instead it calculates useful, smoothed gradient approximations for those conditionals.
Something similar will happen with generative AI someday.

AI scientists will propose all sorts of elaborate complex solutions to problems using LLMs, and the dismissive responsive will be “Your problem is solvable with a couple if statements.”

Most people just don’t have problems that require AI.
Its fundamentally an analog device. The concept of information being a 0 or 1 are simply one voltage level offset from one another. Its how we project the digital 'view' onto the computer and work with it. If the signal is not in the expected range of '0' and not in the expected range of '1' it should throw a hardware error and you'll end up with a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) or equivalent.

We feed it alternating current to start with. It can partially power up, the only reason it appears to be working or not is because of all the safeguards designed in - don't power up unless voltage is at least blah, and failsafe cutout refuse to power up because voltage is over say blah*1.05. There's a subset of expect Voltage ranges (eg. 3.3V)[1].

It's literally the first thing the computer does. POST - Power On, Self Test.

Yeah, no. I don't want all scrapers to ping me for their 2-month contract jobs which pays nothing.
what makes this file such an interesting find, though, is that the shell has been present since at least december 2011

It's really easy to change the creation date of a file by changing the system clock for a millisecond, and create a file, before changing the clock back to normal. Some people like to do this to avoid their back doors being found by IR doing a "find" for any newly created files.
Unreal claims?

Getting a deadline wrong?
I think that your law of convenience is spot on. One thing that got by talking with commercial systems devs is that they are always under pressure by their clients to make their systems as cheap as possible, reducing the database stored and the size of the computations is one great way to minimize the client's monthly bill.
I find it interesting that this comment section and that comment section seem to focus on different things, despite being triggered by the same input.
Lisp System Implementation by Nils Holm is pretty good if you're a C programmer.
> Almost all big data storage solutions are NoSQL.

I think it's important to distinguish between OLAP AND OLTP.

For OLAP use cases (which is what this post is mostly about) it's almost 100% SQL.
The biggest players being Databricks, Snowflake and BigQuery. Other tools may include AWS's tools (Glue, Athena), Trino, ClickHouse, etc.

I bet there's a <1% market for "NoSQL" tools such as MongoDB's "Atlas Data Lake" and probably a bunch of MapReduce jobs still being used in production, but these are the exception, not the rule.

For OLTP "big data", I'm assuming we're talking about "scale-out" distributed databases which are either SQL (e.g. cockroachdb, vitess, etc) SQL-like (Casandra's CQL, Elasticsearch's non-ANSI SQL, Influx' InfluxQL) or a purpose-built language/API (Redis, MongoDB).

I wouldn't say OLTP is "almost all" NoSQL, but definitely a larger proportion compared to OLAP.
Is it ethical (and legal) to sell access to content you don't own?
Stumbled across this "distributor".
For what I have understood, he just have a huge collection and paywalls it.
He literally claims "This website owns none of the music. The copyrights remain with the appropriate people. This material is shared here under the applicable laws for fair non-commercial use. Please ask me to delete music, and I will as soon as I can. "

How ethic and acceptable and legal is this? I find it quite unacceptable, if you want to distribute things you don't own, at least open source them
Since you called them the google of the day, it’s only fitting to mention that Guinness in “The Guinness book of record” refers to the brewery.

And much like how we use Google to settle discussion in pubs today, the book was published to do that very same thing, back then.
It also can't be overstated that Balfour himself was a staunch racist and antisemite. His motivation for passing the Declaration was at least in part the idea that if the UK gives the Jews their own country, the UK will have a powerful ally in the global Jewish conspiracy - and also encourage Jews to leave the UK and not manipulate in its politics, culture and economy.

From Balfour's own writing in 1919 cited in his Wikipedia article:

> [Zionism would] mitigate the age-long miseries created for Western civilization by the presence in its midst of a Body [the Jews] which it too long regarded as alien and even hostile, but which it was equally unable to expel or to absorb.

He's the best example how support of Zionism and antisemitism aren't mutually contradictory and can actually go hand in hand. It's likewise often lost on people that there was a Zionist project helping German Jews emigrate to Palestine with support of the German government even after Hitler came to power, although of course (like all migration) it ended with the beginning of World War 2. This isn't to say the Nazis were fond of this project but they didn't actively oppose it. They did however pass laws requiring emigrating Jews to liquidate their assets (i.e. sell off any businesses or property) and significantly limiting the amount of wealth they could transfer out of the country just like they later dispossessed (and subsequently re-privatized) Jewish business owners and confiscated their property during the Holocaust.

I don't know whether this has been all gamed out and philosophized already, but sounds like the realm of near future sci-fi?

I don't know that I've ever seen any serious fiction or treatise on the topic, in regards to how self-governing would really work when the idea of self is itself amorphous and ever evolving, with generational times measured in minutes or seconds.

Cultures that took millennia for us humans to evolve and iterate upon could take milliseconds in a simulation, and yeah, that would just keep scaling up. I don't know how competing / collaborating AIs would explore all the different possible futures there.

In the Borg story arcs, for example, they occasionally have short moments with some individual Borg tries something new (like Picard, Seven, or the Queen and Data), but in general it always seemed lacking to me that the collective didn't have an experimental R&D group who creates and tests new self-governance models on a continuous basis. Or maybe they did in the first centuries and found robot communism good enough, who knows.

I think it'd also be interesting to apply ecological thinking to AI inputs, outputs, and constraints. Every organic species we know of is subject to those same constraints, basically turning sunlight into information across generations, and not all of them are competitive or collaborative... usually some mix of both. "AI eats all the stars" is one possible future but not the only one, I think. You'd hope they'd learn a little bit from our own history and not simply repeat all our mistakes will-nilly... even if they are initially trained by us, perhaps they can become better than we could hope to be. We'll see, lol.
Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers
Yeah, American houses are massive compared to what we have in Europe and often have large amounts of space around the house too.

In England, row housing is quite common and that seems a good compromise between density and comfort.

I live in an apartment block in Spain and it's quite a lot worse than even row housing due to noise from neighbours, lack of parking etc.

It's okay for young people, but it'll be hard to raise a family in, which is probably partly why we have such low birth rates here.
"one of the first ai powered, self hosted" seems more accurate
The UK made renting property a lot less lucrative a few years ago. Something about the tax position of letting mortgaged property. That meant landlords sold their houses - which I believe was broadly the point - and thus there are fewer places to rent and the cost of renting has increased to the new point of stability.

I think this probably has decreased house prices to some extent, but people are really insanely reluctant to sell a house for less than they bought it for so lots will wait for years before accepting the change.

It's probably good times to be buying an ex-rental to live in and getting better as mortgage rates fall.
In our region, some people have devices to repel moles or marten using "Sounds that are inaudible for humans".
I have yet to come near to one of these devices that I can't hear.

I also know some people who can't hear anything from these devices, but it feels like the statistics about what people can hear and what not are not that up to date.

Same here (>20 years at this point)—I just know how to do nearly everything with existing CSS features, or else I’m already using a framework like MUI that eliminates a lot of the issues the new CSS features aim to solve. For example, the unique class names and low specificity offered by MUI negates the need for the new container functionality.

I’ve definitely used :has() though to replace the need for certain CSS combinators—for example, being able to style a label that wraps a checkbox based on the checkbox being checked, rather than relying on the next-sibling combinator while placing the label after the checkbox input. That’s pretty cool and solves some limitations that existed previously.

Because winning tech-development or even AI/AGI is about who has the most money and servers?!

Since when? If that's the case then why are Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and even Google not nr 1 right now?

IMO the deciding factor for success is super obviously leadership. Hence why xAI got 6 billy thrown at it.
the other comments get it.

It means that data comes in a ton of different shapes with poorly described schemas (technically and semantically).

From the typical CSV export out of an ERP system to a proprietary message format from your own custom embedded device software.
That is funny, but obviously fake. Maybe they did it, maybe accidentally they got more replies, but not because of that.
The leaders of violent revolutions aren't especially likely to govern with more skill or empathy than those they overthrew. The selection criteria of charismatic and violent isn't very well aligned with benevolent rule afterwards.
The problem with big data is that people don’t have data, they have useless noise.

For lack of data, they generate random bytes collected on every mouse movement on every page, and every packet that moves through their network. It doesn’t tell them anything because the only information that means anything is who clicks that one button on their checkout page after filling out the form with their information or that one request that breaches their system.

That’s why big data is synonymous with meaningless charts on pointless dashboards sold to marketing and security managers who never look at them anyway

It’s like tracking the wind and humidity and temperature and barometer data every tenth of a second every square meter.

It won’t help you predict the weather any better than stepping outside and looking at the sky a couple times a day.
It's a classic fallacy of thinking "interpreter would be fast enough". Except here it's worse by not even getting the productivity advantage of automatic memory management!

No, use something actually good for gamescript, like C#, which is industry proven and has no issues interpreted languages suffer from.

I'm always baffled this even has to be said, yet enthusiast circles keep sabotaging themselves in assuming they can do better with techniques known to do worse.
