I'm not defending running rogue workloads on your employers infrastructure, that's obviously wrong. I'm just saying from the description, and the role of who did it, it probably wasn't super problematic in terms of security.
Of course it's real. But not only is M4 significantly faster in ST, it'll probably 3-4x more efficient than Zen5 mobile just like how M3 is against Zen4 mobile.

This difference in efficiency cannot be explained by node advantage alone as N3E vs N4 is probably around only 15-20% more efficient.
Of course it's just another pretext to enable snooping on the public, now that e2e encryption is prevalent.

Have to admit the Firefox hate is mostly irrelevant.
its from a place of disappointment with Mozilla more than hate really.

I agree that the amount of work and competition LadyBird is facing from Chrome alone is staggering, but at the same time, I'll always root for the little guy in tech, since imo thats where real innovation comes from.
I mean, define ‘experts’.

(It seems to be one business studies professor.)
And thusly lacks three decades of military experience. The adventurism was always about that, adventure and keeping the MIC fed.
MS/PC-DOS shipped with debug.com since pretty much the first versions. It is a perfectly usable assembler where you can type a short loop that receives characters from the serial port and outputs them to a file. Similar things have been done many times to salvage hosed systems where a little more than copy file COM1: was required.

With the Internet today, you probably don't even need to remember the instruction names, you can probably find a printout of a program that does this.
What qualifies as mostly broken? Because it failed the "Say something racist" test right out of the gate.
I think the Firefox hate is completely justified. At this point the only positive thing about Firefox is that "at least it's not Chrome".
I meant to ask for the URL but then looked around and found "AnimeGenius is an AI art generator that specializes in creating anime and NSFW material." And NSFW isn't good material for HackerNews, many read it at work or on travel.
There's also things like the CH32V203 [1] which is a TSSOP-20 with hardware USB and costs around $0.81 in singles. The software side might be a little more ... challenging, though.

This following book may be of interest to some people in this discussion thread. It's a re-issue of a book published decades prior, so of course it is not up-to-date. But it is deeply researched and really quite fascinating.

Possibly that for Ladybird to move forwards more quickly, it needs access to OS API's or Graphics stuff that Serenity can't yet provide? (I'm just spitballing here, I don't know much about OS development)

To take it a step further, due to the fact that Andreas is being sponsored to work on Ladybird full time by a few companies, if it's inherently also tied to the development of Serenity (since its a primary target) that might make him concerned that there's a clash of responsibilities there - he might not want any sponsors pulling out or arguing that he's spending their money on Serenity instead of Ladybird.

This is all just assumptions however, and regardless of the reasons I think he's doing the right thing.
> if you are worried about soldering more fiddly stuff like those ARM processors

If soldering's a worry, you can get quite reasonably priced dev boards with the microcontroller USB port already fitted and working - such as the NUCLEO-F429ZI https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-f429zi.html

Very similar to the NUCLEO-F103RB board the post author used, but as well as the USB connector at the top of the board for the built in programmer/debugger, it also has one at the bottom of the board, wired straight to the microcontroller.

You can also download the board's schematics, if you want to copy their choice of ESD protection and suchlike.
I support this idea. This whole nonsense that kids need a phone at school so parents can contact them or an emergency is nonsense. It ignores the hundreds of years of successful schooling when cell phones weren't a thing.

My daughter did go to school in the age of cell phones, but we never gave her one. We did have a family emergency, and we simply called the school told them there was an emergency and we were coming to get our daughter and she needed to be outside and ready to be picked up in 10 minutes. No details were requested or given only identifying that we were indeed the parents. You know what, they pulled her from class and she was ready when we got there. Very simple process.
an equal number upvotes and downvotes =/= 0 karma
if you have 500 downvotes and 500 upvotes, you're more useful than someone with 0 and 0, even though both of you have a total 'score' of 0.

I could even go further and say you're more useful than someone with 500 'score' because you're authentic and spark discussion, not censoring yourself just to say what people want to hear to get upvotes (though this is more relevant to reddit than hn). I think something similar is what twitter's algorithm does (which is why I can sometimes spend 3 hours a day on it and not regretting it).

so, the new math is:

-500/+0 < -0/+0 < -0/+500 <?< -500/+500 < -500/+1000

some subreddits' rule where you can't post if you don't have a karma above x is fundamentally flawed. I'm sure who invented this concept actually meant that you need to contribute by x before posting, not that the number on your profile needs to be above x.

it's Goodhart's law: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure

on the other hand, I think this might be a threads (woke) vs twitter (based) thing, which is probably impossible to solve rn because people themselves are divided. basically it's about being nice (karma is a single number) vs being useful (karma is an irreducible vector like [-33, 50])

in my experience, systems that go from a scalar to a vectorial representation tend to be more efficient/useful
You seem to have some trouble keeping track of goalposts; even when people are pointing right at them.
That's like saying a C64 virus could work against a Linux box, because a C64 modem was used to control the C64.

And as the virus author, you've never seen Linux, have no idea about anything past the C64, including bioses, CPU structure, APIs, PCI/etc architecture, and all other computing hardware, and?

That's being friendly, because they'd be interfacing with computing systems hundreds, thousands, or millions of years more advanced, written by aliens, which view the universe entirely differently due to different brain structures, with an unknown number or type of senses, with an unknown way those senses work or are perceived, with "code" not necessarily in binary, or using silicon based chips, or even transistors, or.. well, this part never ends.

The premise is immensely absurd.

Of course it is a movie, but this sort of canon puts it into soft scifi, if not fantasy.
It's up 73% premarket trading. Lol.
That's for the founder to figure out. I imagine that with a 'pivot' on the scenario that the product is being built for, there would be change in its form (both hardware and software).

But this comment makes me think, why this product cannot exist as a mobile walkie-talkie app?

When "war" comes, the "army" launches the app and are plugged into the dynamic war operations, using a headset. When the war is hopefully won, everyone goes back to their peace time apps - Email, Slack...
Nope. It's a way of saying "After the penultimate parameter, any further detail should be passed over as a list".

The list used to always be an Array, but now it will be possible to have it as any collection type (including IEnumerable<T>).
Frankly I don't understand why all the naughty streams don't get moved to a sibling platform, call it Twitch Red that only deals with those. They can share 95% of legal and operational costs, but it has the benefit that it isolates the game streaming platform for any questionable content that might raise the eyebrow of sensitive jurisdictions and advertisers. There must be something obvious I'm missing otherwise this is a very large missed opportunity.
> This is like wanting private phone calls, but also blaming phone companies for sex lines.

What are you on about? This is precisely the kind of situation where a best-effort can be done.

Though let us swap your example of "sex lines" for something legitimately harmful. Scamming callcenters.

Should they stop all scams? No, they can't. Inspecting phone call traffic to monitor for scams would be extremely invasive. Should they disconnect the firm they and everyone else knows are scammers? Yes.

Thus the point. When these companies don't make a best-effort, the government gets involved.

The only added complexity here is that the chat apps themselves can't do anything. But the big tech giants could stop making the problem infinitely worse, big platform holders who already monitor publicly-posted content could work to ensure their reports are actioned upon.
What about saying “COVID-19 did not leak from a lab”?
Search for "window privacy film" on Amazon or Ebay.
Its a thin plastic static cling film you can put on glass that mimics frosted bathroom windows.
The how is simple, all devices will be required to be as locked as iphones. No apps on your device unless approved by the vendor. Open source is fine as long as you jump through the hoops to submit it for review.
Who are the "actually qualified"?
Could the platforms the authorities use decide to not exclude them and treat them the same anyways (ie scan them like everyone else's) or are they codifying that that kind of scanning only applies to the common people?
If anyone is interested, I made some improvements [1] when using this for ISP programming.
It should work notably faster (minute -> seconds) and has some ergonomic improvements like setting chip size without reprogramming and some additional commands for exploring flash.

I have also added some reliability improvement (IMO), but it may be more or less reliable for you.

That is not the ambition of the EU. Their ambition is it to create a framework how AI is handled globally. That is what they mean by "regulatory superpower".

They don't want to create laws which only effect how AI companies handle operating in the EU, they see European contribution to AI as offering a legal framework of how it should be operated and legislated worldwide.
Kind of similar to the leetcode grinding.
I recently used CH340N (soic 8 virtual com port) and it was really easy. Easy soldering, no extra parts just directly connect to USB, works out of the box on Linux.
Always surprised why politicians get exempted from these kind of rules. You would think they would set the good example
Maybe I have some misunderstanding from the draft legislation. Can you explain how one can prevent users from sharing links while keeping them able to share text?
They only need to incorporate a separate entity that deals with the adult content, which then has to deal with the legal side of the problem and reap in the (probably) considerable rewards.
"What are you getting to justify the massively higher price?"

In my opinion, Formlabs is all about convenience. The fact that you can directly drop the build platform into the form wash is just so much nicer than having to directly fiddle with skin-irritating chemicals.

That said, my Form 2 is pretty low on speed, rather mediocre on reliability, and I keep having issues with it locking me out of the DRM-ed cartridges because the build quality of the valve motor is apparently rather bad. The printer thinks its dispensing resin while in reality it's not - because the motor is too weak - and then it thinks I drained 3L out of a 1L cartridge and it'll turn on DRM nag mode.

That said, the quality of the resulting prints is still insane. With a tiny bit of sanding you have parts that look like injection molding. I have never seen anyone get even close with FDM-ed prints. The transparency of prints is also so good, people sometimes think it's glass.
Car Hacking and Can Bus Reverse Engineering Seminar [video]
Hello,
I made a video exploring my compiler for a language that targets a brainfuck-based VM: https://github.com/adam-mcdaniel/sage

I used the language and VM to build a userspace for a custom operating system, writing a shell and a PowerPoint app. https://github.com/adam-mcdaniel/sage-os

I also built a web playground so you can compile and run the language in the browser, with JavaScript interop!! https://adam-mcdaniel.net/sage
Sure, but what does that have to do with anything?
I'm from Spain, no issues with Germany. Also, is not illegal to self-host, but anonymous
self-hosting.

Anyway, most people will just set external pages under international hosts anonymously, or under i2pd and yggdrasil.

Also, any German can just use SDF with a validated account and call the US law on hosting (and maybe content) instead of the German one.
You’ve snuck in my own argument though. Correct, you’d be sad if you reverted to those conditions. That is because you will have a comparison point, i.e. you are acknowledging that the entire issue is one of relative wealth and standard of living as compared to some other comparator.

In your just-provided example, the comparison is to your modern life. In a world without time travel, people can and do compare themselves to others living today because that is how brains work.
> and the project is well funded by large investors.

Hmm, why is there no mention of that in the splitting announcement?

Did said large investors trigger the drop of SerenityOS because they don't want to waste their resources on a niche hobby platform?

Interesting, there's a ruby feature request[0] for a safer thread api (this has been a known issue for a long time), and I just saw that it got assigned a couple of months ago. Maybe this'll get addressed in the next ruby version.

No matter how you slice it almost time spent in a compiler is wasted by recreating optimizations for things that haven't changed. Back in the 70s disk IO was slow and memory was scarce. Compilers couldn't cache much for that reason. Compilers today are designed for constraints that no longer exist.
A bit presumptuous of me. Maybe it's just me that thinks you're smarter than everyone else.
I might sound jaded, but I'd be more excited for a Chromium fork that focuses on hackability instead of a brand new browser that'll take somewhere between years to ∞ to be even remotely useful. I get why that'd be less fun to work on though.
It's a solid strategy: Ask for 5x money from the 25% of customers who can't make the jump. End up making more money you made in the past, lose 75% of the support burden

But... that would be ... "making video games". The large "video game companies" would rather "create content" and use the cheapest possible option.
sure - but it's also common to go typing for terms that are related to what you just saw, which then involves typing generally. or maybe you're looking things up on the side, which again requires general typing.
I disagree, there is a lot of useless information on the plains of savanna - look at that blade of grass! In fact we face the exact same challenges as our ancestors, living in a world that is information sparse. It's that our brains went awry, and can no longer crunch the 100Mbs of inputs into the perhaps a few kbs of useful information. Not only that people get overwhelmed with useless garbage, they also proceed to vomit it on each other.
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the Austrian philosopher, wrote extensively about language and its intricacies.

His ideas are especially relevant for anyone working in AI, because his views on language help us better understand the limitations of large language models.

This essay explores those ideas, what you can take away from them, and why learning the meaning of words doesn’t necessary equate to learning something about the world.
Single thread:

M3 Max: 3898

7950x: 2951

The ST advantage of Apple Silicon is real. 7950x does do better in highly parallel tasks.

To me, Apple Silicon is clearly leading clients over AMD/Intel. Hence, my original reason for why AMD's announcement isn't "exciting". Because Apple Silicon is so far ahead in client.

Of course, AMD can crank up the core via Epyc/Threadripper and Apple has no answer. For that, you'd need to look into ARM chips from Ampere/Amazon for a competitor.

We have to be at peace with quite a lot of uncertainty in the coming years and decades regarding our careers, environment and social structures.

The other answer is correct I believe, but I think the most common recommendation I've seen for rails boils down to "Use Timeout, and then kill and restart the process" (ref: [0], [1]), which obviously doesn't feel great for performance when a timeout in one thread can cause all other threads to need to be killed.

Another advantage of having an integrated GPU is you can do a GPU pass-through and let a VM directly and fully use your dedicated GPU.

This could be a thing if you're running native Linux but some games only work on Windows which you run in a VM instead of dual booting.

I would look for a company doing "scrumafall" or waterfall-esque development. This is increasingly rare though. Under that style, they tend to have better planning and more structure. You have planned releases and more detailed/thoughtout stories.

Unfortunately for people like me, everything is moving in the opposite direction. Now we do releases as soon as a story is done. We have tons of devs working in multiple branches resulting in more merge issues, more testing issues, and other complexities. In general there's less structure, less documentation, and the stories have worse details.

I went from being a high performer filling roles above my official level to being a chronic low performer bouncing from team to team. I believe this was mostly due to the change in working environment. The employer won't do anything about the working environment.

One thing that might be worth looking into is Auticon. They are a contracting company specializing in placement of individuals with ASD. My company contracts with them and it seems they get more support or accommodations than the actual employees.
>Also, is not illegal to self-host, but anonymous self-hosting.

I think that is what I said.

"Make yourself a criminal" is not good advice.

I don't know what you are trying to tell me. I know that there are technical means to circumvent this, just like there will be technical means to circumvent chat filters. That isn't the issue, the issue is that it is criminal to do so.
Isn’t there already quite many Chromium forks? They all have the same issue - the more your code diverges, more additional work it will be. And security patches start lagging.

I've been running a meetup for almost 10 years and I love it!

Attendance is usually about 70%-80%, I feel lots of love and appreciation for the work I put in, and it has led to several consulting jobs.

My key to doing it for close to 10 years is to do it on my terms. If I have other stuff that takes too much time, I don't arrange, if I have free time, I do arrange. No one can force me or push me to do it.

On average I host meetups 3 times per year, maybe 4, some years and I find that to be quite a nice sweet spot.

In terms of attendees I shoot for 30-60. I have done 100-130 people meetups, but that's too much work, so won't do that without personnel from the sponsor.

So yeah, meetups are fun but do it on your own terms only, and you'll enjoy it for a long time! =)

That's wildly not true. Transcoding, gaming, multiple displays, etc. They are often used as any other GPU would be used.
Feels like an end of an Era, I used to enjoy Andreas's SerenityOS YouTube videos as he dropped down and implemented different features of the OS during a video coding session, adding code from UI, emulators, game ports, JS & Jakt programming languages, JITs all the way down to the kernel. SerenityOS was unique in that regard with the entire code-base maintained in a single source tree.

I expect interest in SerenityOS will now taper off as a result of this, especially now that SerenityOS is no longer a target for Ladybird.
