No, because I don't have another data point to compare. In the case of Starliner, there was a competitor, with a lower bid, that launched 4 years prior and did not suffer a billion dollar loss to top it all.

From my perspective ML in general has a weird relationship with cross-domain collaboration. The discussions around linguistics feel like they're full of similar examples and it comes off as a lack of curiosity.
>I store those in the home directory, where I can see them.

That works for most things, and that's how it should be. But sometimes the dev just doesn't provide links and you either have to read their code to figure out the model URLs, or simply allow the automatic download that ends up in .cache.

this whole thing is sus.

why isn't this a better explanation: High performing, "desirable" or "skilled" employees get enticed (i.e. rewarded) for jumping to a new employer. Average schlubs do not.

explanation from TFA:

Why are people who jump ship rewarded, when loyal employees are punished for their dedication? The answer is simple. Recessions allow businesses to freeze their payroll and decrease salaries of the newly hired based on “market trends.” These reactions to the recession are understandable, but the problem is that these reactions were meant to be “temporary.”
And they will likely succeed except in the west. Africa is a huge opportunity here, which could even source the required materials itself but from general history the wealthy prefer to keep the sourcing countries poor and avoid processing raw material locally. That keeps these countries to poor to buy the actual goods in the end.
I do not believe that is the case, you seem to have a more narrow view of propaganda.

Just look at the Webster definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda

Both very famous pieces of propaganda the US put out during War. Neither of them are misleading. They were put out to encourage people to take an action.

Large Language Models for Scientific Synthesis, Inference and Explanation
Well ROCm is more or less designed to be portable between both; that's not strictly true but it's fairly similar to CUDA so I don't know how much of that boilerplate is reduced by the fact that it's AMD specific. Your point is fair though; Vulkan kind of runs on almost-literally everything made in the last nine years or so, so it can assume basically zero about any kind of underlying OS stuff.

Still, Vulkan has convinced me that I have no desire to work that low-level of GPU programming, as I had zero fun playing with it. I guess I like having one layer up of abstraction; I'm happy enough to write CUDA, and I'm happy enough to write anything higher level than that.
I am in the same position where the company I work for tends to pay near the top of the market. I account for this by trying to save as much as possible and not having a lifestyle that requires this top of the market salary.

The best compression relies on understanding. What LLM is is mostly data how humans use words. We understand how to make this data (which is a compression of human text) and use it (generate something). AKA it’s “production rules”, but statistical.

The only issue is ambiguity. What can be generated strongly depends on the order of the tokens. A slight variation can change the meaning and the result is worthless. Understanding is the guardrail against meaningless statement and LLMs lack it.
I'm not in the US but am familiar with some politicians here, and they too have a problem with recognizing that the feed they received is personalized, the comments are not representative, etc.

If you're wondering why politics sometimes seem out of touch, it's because politicians, their media and the commentariat are locked into an echo chamber already.

If I were an actor interested in influencing the policy of another country, why would I spend $$$ on manipulating the voting populace if I can poison the feed of the people who matter for far less?
Odd to see skepticism here, I thought this was well known. I've seen it first hand just a couple years ago where a large company was offering new hires a 20% bump, and yet when I told them I was leaving the counter offer was only a 3~% bump.
Surprisingly little is actually a solid fact, most political things are opinions and socially constructed.

I was part of a company that "hunted" terrorist groups that did this. Start with sympathizers publicly posting on Twitter, find who they are connected to, and fan out and cross reference to the people who are either organizing violence or running drug operations for funding.

I assume most countries with designs in foreign politics do much the same.

I haven't really studied this either so I could be mistaken, but I think it's because OpenGL does the perspective divide between the vertex and fragment shaders, going from clip space to NDC space (which is in the [-1,1] interval and can only be changed by glClipControl()).

The value in gl_FragDepth, if written to, is final, but gl_Position is not and will go through the clip/NDC transformation and since the trick to get the extra precision is to put the depth range into [0,1] instead of [-1,1], this would fail.

So my guess is, it probably wouldn't work on WebGL/OpenGLES without also setting gl_FragDepth, which is, as you mentioned, impractical performance-wise.
The Chinese state is a fact checking organization. I see no difference other than the fact the Chinese state has power and this is already extremely warped and corrupt, while the other fact checkers are merely striving for similar power.

The only implementation of fact checking I’ve seen which has yet to turn corrupt is Twitter’s Birdwatch which is a much better record than these journalistic organizations we call fact checkers who feel they should control truth.

> the only difference between marketing and propaganda is that with marketing at least you are trying to peddle a product instead of an ideology

Marketing often includes the peddling of an ideology as a foundation for the product buying, especially for big-ticket items. (One buys the product that fits and signals one’s ideology.) To me, this makes marketing even more insidious as we often focus on the product rather than the message. Think Ford, Tesla, Apple …
Show HN: I built a tool to talk to Stripe data
Hey HN!

I am a developer working on a startup doing lots of payment integration stuff with payment providers like Stripe.

I built a tool to talk to Stripe data, just so that I can answer questions from our team. I turned that into analytics tool (sort of) to answer questions about MRR, churn, revenue etc. (https://www.dataraccoon.io/).

There is a two minute demo video on the page if you want to see how it works, or you can use free trial without needing a credit card.

I was wondering if you would use such a tool directly in Slack or prefer receiving messages about your metrics directly?

If you could have this chat interface for any of the SaaS tools, which tool would you want?
I understand the impulse, but I think it misconstrues the "red tape" this method avoids. It's sidestepping a quirky OS limitation, which dates back to an era of "privileged ports" and multi-user machines. It's not really sidestepping any sort of modern policy boundary. For instance: you could do the exact same thing with WebSockets (and people do).
You're making wrong comparisons is what you're doing. If you had already written N game engines, could you write a new one in a month? Yes, right?

It’s pretty new, but from what I’m hearing it’s very effective.

I want to live long enough to see a viable test of larger spaceships that could send humans to Mars. I really want to live long enough to discover evidence of at least microbial life elsewhere in the solar system - Mars seems like the obvious place we can reach with a good chance for it be possible. I know there's amazingly water vapor around Europa, that's so much more remote.

I think about 30 years should lead to more exploration of Mars, and maybe multiple landers andn robots getting there from here, maybe even a return trip. (human travel to Mars feels so far out, even if Starship works out in the next 10 years).

Sure - with the Alice example, when I saw the problem I came up with a really simple visual example of Alice having 3 sisters and 4 brothers. When I visualized it I saw Alice standing next to 3 other women (her sisters) and her 4 brothers standing close by. When I imagined asking her brother how many sisters he has, I could see that Alice was standing there next to 3 other women and thus came up with the answer of 4. Does this make sense?

I completely agree! The company I'm currently working on is pretty cyclical such that we get a bunch of new activity towards the middle of each month and nothing at the beginning or end. This leads to our notifications to go wild sometimes making us super happy then trailing off and making us worry other times.
I have been speculating on Nvidia stock. It has been following an exponential curve. I have curve fitted the stock price, and determined that:

- in 2027, the market cap of Nvidia will be approximately $10 trillion - approximately half of US GDP

- in 2035, the market cap will be $1,500 trillion. Far greater than the total amount of value produced throughout human history.

It would be very unwise to bet against me; up to this point, my curve fit has been completely correct. Naysayers have been squashed. By my calculations, which are based on the laws of mathematics and completely indisputable -- the total market cap of Nvidia will be well over 10 quadrillion dollars by 2040.

I'm actually growing concerned. In our lifetime, Nvidia stock might become so uncountably valuable that even an attempt to calculate its value will consume most of the energy available in the known universe. Because I'm serious about my math, I've put some confidence intervals on my estimate; but, dear reader, even that doesn't save us. In the conservative case, it only forestalls the inevitable by just a few years.

I suggest we assemble a task force to ponder the inevitable problems that will arise from this set of facts. Humbly, I will submit myself as the leader of such a task force. Because of the gravity of the situation, I think a few million dollars, a small team, and perhaps a few hundred or thousand shares of Nvidia -- will help to fully understand the implications of this dire situation.
Just look at how that's evolved into what's now referred to a "talk radio". Only, you have multiple stations available so you can choose your particular firebrand to listen.
At a first glance at the demo gallery, nothing there is labeled as a button except for some in the embedded frame. The buttons there does not have an accessible label though. Nothing is list or grid, on the page and when any of the demo buttons are pressed, the focus is not moved to the new content. So, aria-role and aria-label as a start, I think.
You're living it the best you can with what you have. As the other commenter stated, you are making unfair comparisons. Focus on comparing your tomorrow self with your today self. As long as that comparison trends in the right direction, you're doing well.

I think if you read the guide that dang linked to, it is clear that the account is breaking the rules for flamebait.
The article does state that the referenced study may be seen as endorsement of this new shiny approach without clear analysis of the problem. What is true, in my experience, is that Agile is poorly implemented across the board. Sprints are just biweekly massive status updates and no developer talks to the customer/stakeholder directly. So, criticism of implementation should not have been underrated in the article.

That said, in the referenced study, they are calling some ad hoc development practices without requirements "agile", because they feel like calling it that, and then blaming the authors of Agile Manifesto for not delivering on their promise. Clearly, today, a lot of software management malpractices are called "Agile" and then the fault for the failure is pointed outside of the organization. It's the management's fault, not the Agile methodology.
If NASA had that many failures while working on a program explicitly not intended to experience failures and it wasn't being run by Boing, Lockmart or any other defense contractor that has Congress in its pockets, yeah, they'd be getting hell from Congress. But, NASA did used to work on regular old development programs akin to Starship, where perceived failure was completely acceptable to push understanding. For example, there were the Ranger series of lunar impactors, the first 6 of which all failed in various ways, and of course they blew up plenty of rockets and rocket engines back then too.

The issue isn't "burning tax dollars". Congress is too busy selling out the country's future to give a shit about that. The issue is that they'd already rather not be giving any money to NASA in the first place. They'd just give the defense contractors tax payer funded 'donations' directly if they could.
With options, there's always a risk that they will be worth nothing, or very little.

I would rather have some options in several companies than a lot of options in one to increase the chance that some of them will be valuable. That approach does require you to buy the options, whereas staying at one company means you can delay the purchase
