I tried learning Vulkan a little more than a year ago and I have no desire to ever touch it again. It really bothers me that we're deprecating OpenGL and replacing it with something that's ridiculously hard to do anything simple (e.g. doing a spinning cube takes several hundred lines of code).

OpenGL was never "easy" but it was at least something a regular person could learn the basics of in a fairly short amount of time. You could go to any big book store, buy some intro to graphics programming book, and get some basic stuff rendering in an afternoon or two. I'm sure Vulkan is better in some regards but is simply not feasible to expect someone to learn it quickly.

Like, imagine the newest Intel/ARM/AMD chips came along and instead of being able to write C or C++, you're being told "We are dropping support for higher level languages so you can only write assembly on this now and it'll be faster because you have more control!" It would be correctly labeled as ridiculous.
Seems manipulative design to me.

Yellow stars are already used heavily in apps for ratings, favoriting, marking as important. And previously as stickers of approval on your childhood homework.

In the example animation of purchases, note all the exciting confetti and sunburst reward-like animations... for spending money.

Not only are they introducing a level of indirection over money (you're not spending real money, but some fun imaginary thing), but they're also appropriating and misusing a popular favorable symbol.

Just show what these things cost in familiar real money (or at least make it a stylized gold coin already), stop preying upon children, and stop manipulating adults.
Why are you so hellbent on dictating how volunteers spend their time?

Have you ever considered that these people are satisfied with their interests and truly could not care less about your opinion? Or that your opinion is just that-- yours? Not some absolute truth?

Anyway, it's beside the point, as there are multiple high quality Linux distributions to choose from, thanks to a large de-duplication of efforts through libraries.

No. It doesn't matter whether it is a primary residence, secondary residence, or an investment property. It is the property of someone else. Without permission, opening the door or window and going into it is breaking and entering.

And do not try to argue that breaking, entering, and squatting somehow reduces the housing shortage — the effect is the exact opposite. With insecure property access and rights, people will be LESS likely to invest in fixing up unliveable places. Just think for a second: with solid property rights, it can be an enjoyable practice to invest in and improve a run-down property to a rent-able or sell-able state. But if you are 50% likely to lose your investment and get a massive headache, you'll just go do something else, and let it rot, so no one can use it. Multiply this 100k times, and you have 100k fewer units on the market, just falling into dust.
We don't like it because it can cause widespread damage to the ecosystem, not just to us. Life didn't evolve in a vacuum, and the balance of natural ecosystems can be fragile.

> [Feral pigs] are invasive and cause millions of dollars in agricultural damage each year, rooting and trampling through a wide variety of crops. They prey on everything from rodents, to deer, to endangered loggerhead sea turtles, threatening to reduce the diversity of native species. They disrupt habitats. They damage archaeological sites. They are capable of transmitting diseases to domestic animals and humans.

> Interestingly, in their native range in Europe and Asia, pigs do not cause as much ecological damage. In fact, some studies indicate that they may modify habitat in important ways for species that have evolved with them, such as frogs and salamanders.

I discovered this when looking at video effects options within envato elements. There are now over 6,000 templates there, that many moons ago I assumed were only really feasible with after effects.

I also see they have some for apple motion and final cut - but I don't do mac so they stay off my radar.

More using davinci and demanding effects that work with it, the better!

Most of the video effects I use regularly though are the built in ones in corel videostudio though - https://learn.corel.com/tutorials/applying-fx-filters/

Ugh I haven't eaten one in a while but do have a soft spot for Dr Oetker pizzas.

Don't mistake me for someone who doesn't enjoy food or eating. My lifestyle is impractical and annoying but it also pushes me to do things like cook properly and I've really discovered the joy of eating high quality fresh produce.

Also my guilty pleasure is a good old fashioned beef frank and it's going to be a struggle getting one of those free of additives...
No, you're wrong. I was there. It was mostly guys, but there were plenty of women as well. Radia Perlman, to name just one famous one. I recall another from Lawrence Livermore whom I met at an IETF. I went to grad school with several of them.

There certainly is a lot of woke revisionist BS around. No doubt about that.

Edit: in my current book "This New Internet Thing" one of the characters, Cassie, wants to adopt a child as a single woman. I got advice on that process by Heidi Buelow (RIP), who was last at Oracle but worked on the Xerox Star, and adopted two children of her own (Cassie is not modeled on Heidi, except for that). Heidi unfortunately died while I was writing it, and I can't find any online obituary on her.

Since we're talking about "back in the day" naturally some of those people have crossed the Great Divide. You can find a few women in here as well:

My comments are far from arrogant; they are directly decrying the arrogance of another user, and labeling this kind of pushback as arrogant or condescending is disingenuous, bordering on ironic. Let's stay on topic.
That's interesting , where can I see those stats? And legally as you say it's not the same as squatting, it's quite different.
The article describes a campaign of execution against more aggressive members, but ... is there evidence that they were actually killed, vs. just not selected for mating? Both seem possible, but the article repeatedly emphasizes the killing, and that's a pretty bold claim! I'd just love to see the evidence at least mentioned.

DSPy looks interesting! But ironically I feel like learning a bit of what it does and implement some parts by my own. It is so fast to code something usable with Claude 3 opus.
But clearly libraries like wgpu implement WebGPU while not requiring a browser. So WebGPU is not browser-exclusive.
That's what bothers me though; why not have an official higher level API that's less awful to use? Instead you get a bunch of third party libraries bolted on top of everything.
>2024-03-07: Tried to find information how a vulnerability can be reported to Ariane Systems. The vendor does not use security.txt nor a DNS TXT record for security contact lookup. There is no information on the website how to contact the product security team. Therefore, Pentagrid initially contacted Ariane Systems via support@ariane.com.

Ugh. I've been in a similar scenario and had to report a security bug via the normal support channel for a fairly large-sized company. Never again. It was significantly more work to get the bug in front of someone who understood it and could do something about it than it was developing the exploit in the first place.

After a certain company size it should be a legal requirement to have a dedicated security contact listed somewhere.

Now, after a few good faith attempts to get an exploit in front of the appropriate person at a company, I just forget it. I'm sure there are people in similar situations who, after a few attempts to report to the company, end up selling the exploit rather than forgetting it.
Mostly principles. I enjoy cooking a lot and I also am very strangely enthusiastic about fresh produce so the search for high quality ingredients is a bit of a hobby. But it's a damn lot harder to do in a place like Singapore where we don't really produce anything locally.

When I lived in London I quite enjoyed hunting down niche grocery stores that would serve fresh British produce

Yes, various alternative and experimental treatments were discussed with a strong emphasis that anyone considering them should first discuss them with their medical team. And people who posted with definitive language about cures were either downvoted into oblivion and chastised in the comments or permabanned if it was clear from their post history that they were commenting with an agenda. The person I replied to on here would have had their ass handed to them in the comments of the subreddit and then probably would have been banned since they’re clearly only spouting their talking points and not interested in creating a discussion around the topic.
I think it wouldn't have the impact you'd expect unless your hearing is actually damaged or unless you're using headphones with their acoustic characteristics well-mapped. The acoustics of the room you're in would matter more, and those are constantly changing.

To accommodate that, you'd want to do an acoustic characterization of the room, not the listener.
Exciting to see this so soon after Anthropic's "Mapping the Mind of a Large Language Model" (under 3 weeks). I find these efforts really exciting; it is still common to hear people say "we have no idea how LLMs / Deep Learning works", but that is really a gross generalization as stuff like this shows.

Wonder if this was a bit rushed out in response to Anthropic's release (as well as the departure of Jan Leike from OpenAI)... the paper link doesn't even go to Arxiv, and the analysis is not nearly as deep. Though who knows, might be unrelated.

Games Journalist Ash Parrish has opinions including:

The layoffs are because people at home during covid spent more money on video games, which resulted in investors putting money in to the video game industry.
People are not stuck at home anymore and people are feeling that they have less disposable income to spend.

Video game industry revenue stopped going up so now there is a push for profitability.

Companies that make games are chasing the next big thing, they all want to make the next Fortnite and get money from people paying for in-game things.

Video game companies are spending lots of money on higher fidelity graphics, which games don't care about that much.

Only smartphone gaming has increasing revenue.
Each iteration I dislike Telegram a bit more. It used to be the sleek "flagship killer" among chat software, but now it's slowly becoming bloatware. Their positive stance on pyramid schemes was were it all went downhill.
If it were just about targeted advertising offsetting the platform costs, I’d be fine with it. What torques me off is that my digital footprint is being sold to anyone and everyone with two nickels to rub together.
Since you are focusing on CL, what editor or tools do you and your developers use? How do you onboard new devs for lisp roles?
What tasks do you consider a 3.8B model to be useful for? Chat applications on lesser hardware, im still finding it difficult to parse what the real world application would ever be. However, I do understand that the goal is to make the smallest most efficient model to compete with the larger model capabilities one day and you can't get there without making these. But do these types of models have any value for any sort of product or real world project?
If it pops up again, eat it.

Thank you for providing civil, factual, compassionate responses in this thread - it’s an inspiring example of discourse.

I’d like to add an informative and entertaining essay on the mechanics of belief and the reasons some beliefs are harder to change than others:

https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
> have speed limits and fines set based on the idea that cops won't catch most speeders

I don't think there is any truth to this at all.

> We set a relatively low max speed

We made the mistake of mixing vehicle and pedestrian infrastructure. Our speed choices have way more to do with this than with imagined enforcement outcomes.

> because you are only going to be pulled over a fraction of the time.

Many cites engage in "zero tolerance traffic enforcement" programs. This is where they patrol a single stretch of road and stop every single person who is even 1mph above the limit.

> most are designed based on the enforcement capabilities of the time.

Most are "designed" (a.k.a rapidly created and pushed into existence) in reaction to disasters that occurred and people broadly feel could have been prevented if there was a law curtailing the behavior that led up to the accident.

We didn't make speeding laws based upon "enforcement capabilities" we made them in response to "wasteful deaths."

This is all automated. It's a github app that tracks changes as they come in, analyzes and simulates them and creates simulations that can be accessed via the CodeYam website, integrated into a CI workflow, or, hopefully soon, leveraged in developer workflows.

In this way there's no set up or maintenance required (or very minimal). It updates simulations as changes are made so everything is always up-to-date.

It automatically generates a number of scenarios (data that is fed into the simulation), but you can define new scenarios through the website as well (or describe a scenario for the AI to generate).

Wrong. That's like saying the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin novels are "contrived." Hello, it's fiction. It isn't there to educate, except insofar as the situations the characters find themselves in teach you something about what it was like back then.

Doesn't work either: To establish the secure connection, you need some way to verify the other end (through public keys, certificates). That verification happens before any measurements can be done securely, so it can be bypassed.

Yes, but living within your means does absolutely nothing to shed light on the black box that is credit scoring. It's an irrelevant comment.

If you're trying to say that you should avoid credit altogether, that's a terrible idea... Unless you plan on not getting a mortgage and paying for your home in cash. In which case your personal financial situation might not be representative of the average / median Joe.
High unemployment?

Boomers retiring will create a permanent labor shortage for the foreseeable future. People just don’t want to be construction workers, and who can blame them? Especially with how construction workers got screwed over after 2008. That nuked the construction sector so hard that employement in construction has just barely recovered to 2008 levels.

It would be beautiful if housing was the pure demand-supply curve that many claim it is- but currently it isn’t. Letting the market solve the housing problem doesn’t create additional future housing as that is blocked by house construction output, all it does is allow maximizing profit on existing real estate.

With the extreme anger and complete societal gridlock that the first world housing crisis is fomenting, if the fix was “just unregulate lol” politicians would have done that by now.
I'm sure most normal, non-hn crowd users will not care. They have facebook or tiktok, etc installed on their phone and use it daily.

So either the pin is configurable, or you've wasted a pin that could otherwise be used for decorating the motherboard with RGB LEDs.

Also, the pin layout has to be standardized by the socket specification (eg "LGA 2011"), which may have to retain compatibility for a decade or more. This strongly favors defining reconfigurable over fixed-function pins.

I’m not the person you posed this question to, but I’d recommend the general strategy of making a list of features and functionalities that you personally need and want. By making your decisions against such a list, you are less at the whims of trends because unless your needs change, your tool doesn’t need to. The key is to be honest about what you really need. Applies to all of life, really.
Maybe more in the sense of the Unix philosophy: The detection should happen in a separate tool of which the output filenames can then be piped into lsix.
Interesting. Can you share what is?
Yes, it is very old.
> It feels like once you actually account for real things that need to happen like vans carting building materials, you're back where you started except that now everyone needs a license to do the same things they did before in their "personal" vehicles.

There is a finite amount of space in cities which simply isn't enough for everyone to be driving around in personal cars all the time.

Pedestrians and bikes take up much less space than cars (both moving and parked). By getting people to stop using cars unnecessarily and switch to transit, walking, and biking, you can actually free up space for the remaining vehicles to get around, even if doing so requires restricting vehicular traffic on some streets.

Look at Amsterdam. The traffic is less bad there despite more space being allocated to pedestrians and bikes than US cities.

If that seems counterintuitive, think about it the other way: Imagine if you were able to slightly increase the number of lanes by removing all sidewalks and eliminating all transit. While there would be space for slightly more cars, traffic would end up being much worse, because all the people who were walking/biking/taking transit would end up taking much more space on the roads than was created by adding the lanes.
> It's debatable whether this is effective at turning away attacks, but that's the goal, and ASLR is enabled on almost every operating system in use today.

It's not debatable at all, ASLR is a significant barrier to attacks.

Quote from a random hacking book:

> By doing so, it makes it significantly harder for an attacker to predict the location of specific processes and data, such as the stack, heap, and libraries, thereby mitigating certain types of exploits, particularly buffer overflows.

Sorry, they just aren't. There are numerous breakdowns going into great detail why the plot is nonsensical and silly. This isn't even addressing the acting, which at times is so horrible it's laugh out loud funny (reportedly lucas only allowed actors to do single takes, although I'm not sure if that's ever been confirmed). From a cinematography standpoint, it's also kind of a mess, especially when you break down the absurd amount of shit he crams into nearly every single shot of the film.

The only reason they have appeared to have aged well is because they filled in a lot of the silliness and nonsense with quality content from other sources such as clone wars (which ended up being good) and comics, etc. to fill in the gaps.

It also helps them age a lot when you compare them to the latest trilogy, which I'm sure I don't even need to elaborate why that is.

For the record I still occasionally watch the prequels now, but when they came out, they were very poorly received and for good reason.
