There is a ton of reliable load-bearing software out there written in C++. I don't think the fact that a piece of software is written in C++ is enough to presume that it has memory leaks.
That's going to certainly depend a lot on the tasks you do.

An embarrassingly parallel task would work better in the weak 96 cores than 4 strong cores unless those strong cores were literally 24 times more powerful, or if pegging 96 cores causes RAM to be a significant bottleneck.
Hmmm... I'm not an astronomer, and I wondered if they might have once been more-exact. It seems that while Earth's orbit has long term variations (eccentricity, obliquity, precession) the shortest of those cycles is still quite a lot longer than the estimated age of the Nazca lines. (Precession with a 26ky cycle, Nazca lines at 1.5 to 2.5ky.)
Do we know that reasoning ability and inbuilt knowledge are coupled? It seems to me that having the reasoning ability sufficient to judge between search engine results might want a significantly different type of training than collecting facts.
I respect your humor. It's a currency glitch that's going to get fixed.
My impression is that it's the other way round: presumably via my card number, purchases I make at local businesses cause those businesses to appear more prominent on the map. They get unique icons, and are visible when zoomed out even to a range of five miles. Tracking is applied to the adverts on maps, I think, just like ads in search.
I’m curious, how are those scammy? I always rent the car in advance and never had any issue, I’ve done that in Spain several times but only in the islands (Canary and Balearic).
You’ve heard that Microsoft got rid of their software test teams, right? It’s not as if GP’s experience is an isolated incident in one small niche of the software world.
Not the person you responded to, but I would totally be onboard taxing companies in a way that more accurately reflects their environmental impact. As it stands products are artificially cheap because we're not factoring in environmental sustainability.

1. I didn't say "no mechanisms" in general. Re-read what I wrote

2. Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter doesn't show anything you pretend it shows, it doesn't show the mechanisms I specifically talked about, and since you jumped off of a cliff into deep conspiracy theories, I don't even care what you think it shows.

When you set anything metal outside on the curb with a free sign, it gets recycled. Either someone takes it to use or they scrap it to be melted down for repurposing.

I talked to an elderly man digging in my father's trash for metal recently. He's not doing it because he's poor but because he's retired and bored and gets cash for the scrap that doesn't affect his social security income.

He recycles everything with metal in it. Even pulling out individual wires when he has time. He says he gets paid more if he dismantles the appliance versus turning it in whole.
First off, this is cool and well done. I did notice an oddity, but the fact that we're all complaining about oddities and edge cases (pardon the pun) shows how well done it is. In any case, the wonky thing I noticed is that it effectively shows shadows on the edges of forests, but not on the forests themselves (at least in my area).

Never. As long as it is a probabilistic token generator, it can not be correct, it's that simple.

I think this assumption, though perhaps reasonable, is incorrect, for at least two reasons:

- There are animal model studies which vary environment brightness and show a causal relationship between darker environments and myopia. The animals in the darker experimental groups aren't reading etc, and the animals in the brighter experimental groups aren't in larger cages.

- There are studies on myopia that varied indoor lighting brightness and showed brighter lighting later/decreased myopia onset. Classroom sizes (or distances from desk to blackboard, etc) did not change. These studies also found a bunch of other variables were important including longer sleep time, and less screen time.

I'd like to hear more about this.

It's always been unpleasant interacting with them, but I haven't seen anything abusive. Usually I'm told I either have to leave a huge deposit or buy insurance. Is this what the abuse is supposed to be? I don't love it, but I can't say it's a crazy notion.
I've been using Numberbarn.

My very selfish reason for becoming pro cabin bag charges is how much quicker it has made boarding planes.

I'm not a native English speaker so I had to search for the exact meaning of "runners" vs "servers", enough is to say that I've never been to a restaurant where those two roles were different, and I suppose that the majority of the restaurant-going population shares my experience.

Or maybe in the US there is indeed a distinction being kept between "runners" vs. "servers", but truth be told I've never seen it in place here in Europe.
I don’t really see a problem with that. People get wiser as they get older and more mature.

This has been proven by insurance companies, who charge higher rates for younger drivers since they’re more likely to be reckless and get into an accident. Not the kind of person you would want to encourage to vote, unless you have ulterior motives to manipulate impressionable young people.
I do pay for Youtube Premium precisely because it is something that I use basically every day. It's just kind of an opaque system where it's not really clear how much it is actually supporting video creators, how much of it is maintaining the service, and how much of it is lining Google's pockets.

I watch quite a bit of videos by creators with very lower viewership and sub counts and I suspect they're not seeing a penny.

If you are a diyer that needs it for maybe 1-2 jobs a year, ryobi is usually not a bad choice.

Personally, I stick with DeWalt because I like quality even though I fall under the “diyer” category. This impact driver has survived 5-6 moves, at least a handful of projects across a few years, and it’s still working as if I just picked it up from the store. Haven’t had to do any maintenance or repairs.

One of the cheaper harbor freight or off brand power tools I picked up many years ago lasted at most 1-2 yrs with only a few projects. Which is the reason I started investing in higher quality (prefer dewalt, but will buy Milwaukee).
> there are many records of continuous invasions of Persia by Greeks of the era that are well substantiated

Persia won't come into existence for at least 600 years if "the era" is Mycenaean Greece.

If you're talking about the region of the Persian homeland, there are zero records of invasions by Greeks of the era. It's on the other side of Mesopotamia from them. Troy is located in Anatolia both according to classical tradition and modern belief.

The best currently known evidence for the Trojan War is stuff like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawagalawa_letter
In the bad old days, the only practical way you could really learn music was to get a patron, or somehow make a living out of it. The barrier to entry was sufficiently high that it was a full-time commitment, one way or another.

Today, it's still possible to be a full-time musician, but by far, most musicians have day jobs. You can do music as a hobby.

On one hand, high fidelity music reproduction lowered the demand for performers, as you note. On the other hand, cheap high quality music equipment lowered the barrier to entry. Today you can play your piano piece on a sub-$1k electric keyboard that's portable and never needs to be tuned. It even sounds good. My opinion is that, on balance, the net human artistic output is way up. I also have no data to support this. But it just feels right.
The "problem" is that other people have different needs and usage patterns than you do. Acting like your experience should be universal is a bit weird.
Laying the Foundations: A Deeper Dive into Design Systems for Digital Products
I'm surprised they didn't mention TAP Air Portugal which routinely flies from Portugal to Spain using standard sized planes. They also have a number of international flights from the US to Portugal.

Their hand bag requirement is substantially smaller than most other airlines.

It's 16" x 12" x 6" (40cm x 30cm x 15cm) with a 4.4 lb (2 kg) max weight. That depth 6" / 15cm measurement is substantially smaller than most other airlines as well as the weight. Most other airlines have 2-3" (~5cm) more in depth and allow triple the weight. It makes a noticeable difference if you plan a trip with 2 backpacks.

If you happen to need to check it at the gate, they charge $80-$220 USD depending on where you're coming from and going to.
Yes I agree, there will need to be concessions. That's what happens when you lose a war. Or we roll the dice and escalate. It's a matter of picking the best of several bad choices available.

If Putin invades Poland then full mobilization, likely nuclear war ensures. At some point this happens regardless because we will only make progress in Ukraine through escalation to stages that force Russia's hand. This isn't WW2 and replaying that in your head and saying we need to learn for that won't serve you well.

And here's the latest escalation: "Joe Biden" took a giant step yesterday toward commencing World War Three. The move was framed as the US gives Ukraine permission to use American missiles to strike deep within Russia. That was a bit disingenuous, you see, because Ukraine’s military lacks the know-how to actually launch the missiles, so American military “advisors” will have to be on hand to do it, meaning US military personnel will commit an act of aggression upon Russia.
Here is the framework powering it:

> the main argument about SMR is that you're able to create multiple ones and improve the process to drive cost low as the learning curves kicks in

I was thinking that too. But they addressed that in the article

Why will this time be different, when nowhere in the world has any nuclear industry succeeded in lowering costs over the life of a programme?

The French, the article says, built 55 reactors, standardising the parts and processes but still could not control costs
Tools are weird like text editors where people get religious about some brands over others. But if your hustle is fencing the most reputable and easy-to-move tools, you would probably want to acquire the standard ones you see in Home Depot and Lowe's, such as Dewalt, Milwaukee, Craftsman, etc. Reputation-wise they're all about the same. Personally I like Makita.
I'm more than disappointed in Hudson Rock. They lead with confirmation of a breach, but detail no more than allegations and swagger. The decision to not redact the login is not just a moral failure, but it shows that they do not understand the subject matter that they purport to be experts in. Shameful.
Yup totally silly. My CPA wouldn’t even take you on as a client, he would say go to HR block if you don’t want to do it,
There was a bunch of recent drama surrounding a woke takeover and/or fork of the Nix ecosystem. Browse /r/NixOS if you want details.

I haven't followed it closely and I don't want to misrepresent, but as I understand:

- They pushed the founder of the project out of the BDFL role he'd held for 21 years, and

- They started a new "governance" process that included evicting people who disagreed with their tack/tact. It was done in the name of "inclusivity," but it sounds like the bar for excluding people they disagreed with was very low.

The Snowflake guy (Jake Hamilton) is part of the takeover crew. He's got a fork in-waiting if the takeover of mainline Nix doesn't go the way they want:

My personal record is two battery replacements (AppleCare, both due to capacity being below spec given the number of charge cycles*) and two logic board replacements (GPU failure, first under AppleCare and then out-of-warranty due to a recall) on one MacBook Pro (2011, 17").

* Incidentally, I've received at least half a dozen battery replacements under AppleCare over the years for this reason, going back to the original Titanium PowerBook G4. As far as I can tell, leaving a (Power/Mac)Book plugged in, closed, and running most of the time kills batteries in a warranty-preserving fashion.
Show HN: I Made an AI Animation Suite
I released my first SaaS about a month ago, a free AI CSS animation generator. This is my dive into entrepreneurial tech as a 22 year old CS student, I built the program with Sveltekit, Postgres, Tailwind.

As a dev, I was frustrated with the annoying & tedious process of writing keyframe animations. The lack of good tools available led me to build my own solution.

After a month of intense development, fixes, feature additions, and more the UI and functionality is at a great place now. Now, I'm reaching out to the Reddit community for feedback and beta testers to help refine things further :)

If you're interested in making some slick animations for your site, I'd love for you to try it out and share your thoughts!
> the costs of PV and onshore wind have become cheaper to deploy

What about the additional cost of storage/transmission to make those sources available 24/7?

Perhaps you've done that analysis and they're still cheaper, but I would automatically reject any argument that excludes storage/transmission.
> The person stealing doesn't need to know who hired them

I think you're vastly underestimating how difficult it is to anonymously recruit and pay thousands of thieves from all over the country to target one particular brand and ensure they actually do the job.

Maybe one could offer some sort of buy-back program to maybe induce this behavior, but that would be quite expensive.
Ah yes, the people in charge of passing new cybersecurity laws also sign up for new services with their official email addresses and passwords like abc12345!
Well, as Halla, the Krita maintainer, I kind agree. Image manipulation is not a goal. But for animation, we have a very specific goal. What we want to see is someone doing a looney Tunes like hand-drawn animation in Krita. And I've seen some, so mission accomplished!
What is your use case where you find it comparable to gpt4?
AppImage is a good distribution format, but IMO is not comparable to your system's package manager or Flatpak for that matter. For starters, when you downloads an AppImage, you are just getting the binary. Documentation, Desktop and Service files, and update tracking are all things that are missing from a vanilla AppImage deployment that your system package manager always provides (Flatpak and Snap only handle some of those sometimes).

The missing piece is perhaps some sort of AppImage installer which can be registered as the handler for the AppImage filetype. When ran it could read metadata (packaged as part of the AppImage?) and generate the support files. Ideally would also maintain a database of changes to be rolled back on uninstall and provide a PackageKit or AppStream provider to manage updates with your DE's store.

Now none of that addresses dependency duplication, but thats clearly not in scope for AppImage.
This is totally a thing. In the late 90s when I worked at Microsoft and then at startups, QA was made up of full time employees whose leadership had input into the product process.

Today at my large tech company, QA is mostly contract employees validating test plans that the normal engineers author. Zero autonomy or ownership offered.
The coal plants China are building are peaker plants run at a fairly low duty cycle, most of their new power comes from solar. IOW they're building solar+coal instead of solar+batteries.
Worth emphasis:

> The fact that these emails, which are publicly available on government websites, are on the dark web isn’t a security failure by itself. [...] Instead, it shows that politicians used their official email addresses to set up accounts on third-party websites (which were later hacked or suffered a breach), putting themselves and the information they’re entrusted to keep safe needlessly at risk.
Yes, legal analysis is probably the most consistent scenario where I've seen it completely fail. I'm glad this is finally getting more attention.

I do have a smartphone, but the idea that I should be obligated to use it in order to do something as simple as picking a meal at a restaurant leaves me feeling very uncomfortable. I don't want to live in a world where use of a smartphone - owned, as they all are, by two giant corporations - becomes a prerequisite for participation in the economy.

Sometimes I pretend I don't have a phone and ask the restaurant to bring me a menu anyway, on the principle of the thing. Of course printed menus offer a much better experience anyway.
Telemetry doesn't help make a browser better. If anything it makes it worse by diverting resources from the actual browser or any other project it gets shoved into. Furthermore it is used as an excuse to remove features.

And yes 97% of people are idiots who should never have been given a computer. They don't care that every bit of data is phoned home thereby making worse for the rest.

I've been a bit skeptical of this theory. It's not really true of budget airlines but business travelers and frequent flyers with status just don't want to check bags because it takes longer and can have complications with flight changes.

Personally, I rarely check bags (mostly if I need checked for outdoor activities) but the money has basically nothing to do with it.

Firefox tagged along after Safari put out an insulting piece trumpeting how much better they were for not implementing a bunch of web APIs. Lacking good links so far but here's this, https://usefulangle.com/web-updates/post/80/firefox-decines-...

It really struck a bad chord for me. Rather than update your permissions model or consider how best to implement, being a browser that simply won't do WebUSB or WebMIDI or half the sensor APIs is an awful thing to me. I know a lot of people don't feel like those add value to them personally, but as someone who likes and believes in the web, the hard-line we're-against-it bandwagon-joining stance was disgusting to see, from a company I had until then trusted & thought was able to navigate complex situations.

Firefox has most of these implemented now. Which is great. As a Linux user, I used to never be able to update most of my consumer devices. But because of WebUSB, a good number now have web updaters, and I also am not scared these companies are installing a bunch of spyware/adware just to update the appliance firmware.
The problem with your premise, is that you don't necessarily know when said 90% accurate model produces the right output.
When I started down this path in November, there wasn't a clear choice between Bazzite and NixOS. Seems like a lot of people have chosen Bazzite, but since I have Nix working, I don't really have an incentive to change.
