> When all the hard surfaces of our culture have been made soft, spongy and safe, when all the sharp edges are filed down smooth, how will we raise children who grow into adults adequately prepared to deal with the harshness of the real world?

Unfortunately, child marriage is still legal in the majority of the united states, and approximately 1 in 4 children experience abuse or neglect within their lifetime. So I'm pretty confident this isn't a concern that surfaces within either of our lifetimes.
That's the entire spectrum, as far as government is concerned. I think it's a mistake to assume the left is any less religious (or willing to pander to religion) than the right, or less invested in American imperialism or the military industrial complex. Both sides have to cater to the same systemic interests to maintain power, after all. Our current Democratic President is pro military, pro cop, pro-establishment and staunchly pro Israel, thus so is his party. Most of where the parties differ (or claim to differ) are social issues that don't really threaten the status quo.

We all live in our bubbles and I can't speak to what the mainstream media is doing because I don't really interact with it. On the other hand I see plenty of leftists online who are staunchly anti-Israel, for whatever that's worth.

But speaking of the American left, there seems to be a deep seated fear of being seen as anti-Semitic that causes a lot of people to hold off on expressing themselves, when they don't have the internet between themselves and social consequence. Unfortunately, criticism of Israel does tend to overlap with anti-Semitism so many people simply may not want to take the risk.
Every time I've been a situation in building cloud infrastructure when multiple vendors have been involved in a complex problem and one of those vendors was microsoft, they've always been the worst to deal with.

I’m not saying Assange is fully responsible for the outcome of the 2016 election. But when you directly attack one party of a two party race, you’re actively giving the edge to the other. He clearly held a grudge against Clinton (https://wikileaks.org/hillary-war/) and continued to act upon it.

Now that this multi-decade saga is coming to an end, and we have the benefit of hindsight, I’m wondering if he still thinks that the blast radius of his actions were acceptable, or if perhaps he thinks he should have been more cautious before standing for his principles and acting upon that grudge. From what I know, I’d be remorseful and regret having done it, but I am not him.
Your example gives Random House 35 years of exclusive rights. While not indefinite, it's still worth paying for, just as financial options are worth paying for, even though they eventually expire, too.

The grandparent example gives Random House 0 years of exclusive rights, which means the author could directly compete against them from the start.

But what will it take to stop the rhetoric about the U.S. wanting to lock him up and throw away the key?

Actually acknowledging and prosecuting the war crimes that were exposed would be a good start.
AFAIK generating a single token requires reading all the weights from RAM. So 5300 GB/s total memory bandwidth / 142 GB weights = ~37.2 tokens per second.

When I check the packages repo, I see that they are yaml.files linking to helm packages. Is this only capable of deploying helm packages? Is there a packaging solution included too?
> Maybe be a little kinder on the internet.

I really did think about whether or not to write that last paragraph. But the thing is, it's the truth. And I think it's going to be more helpful in the long run for authors to know these things.

Believe me, I've been on the receiving end many times and it's made me a vastly better writer and communicator. When somebody stops reading your article because of a howler, it's much better for you to hear why so you can learn from it.

(And you don't need to be an expert in the field to realize that discs that flip are mechanical, or that they don't have a "near limitless lifespan". These aren't exactly subtle mistakes, and it's one of the main justifications presented in the introduction itself.)
I really like XP's. I wonder if it's going to be popular again.
That’s an oddly hostile response.

Just because you call yourself a journalist it doesn’t mean you’re free to do whatever you want and still claim journalism protections.

It doesn’t matter where you are, journalism does not include hacking into or otherwise intentionally and actively stealing information. Doing that rightfully opens you up to criminal charges.
Even worse, "trust me, the software I wrote works".

I guess the problem is the defence didn't have an expert witness who had access to the source code and bug database (if they even had one) etc. to even counter that.

Feels a lot like the nonsense forensics that has been in the news fairly recently.
George Kennan (Diplomat, "Architect of the Cold War Containment Policy") - Criticized NATO expansion as a severe mistake in a 1998 interview with the New York Times .

Henry Kissinger (Former U.S. Secretary of State) - Expressed concerns about NATO expansion increasing tensions with Russia over several years, particularly noted in discussions and forums during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

William Perry (Former U.S. Secretary of Defense) - Voiced apprehensions about the strategy and pace of NATO expansion, particularly in the late 1990s during his tenure and in reflections thereafter.

Sam Nunn (Former U.S. Senator, Co-Chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative) - Warned of strategic miscalculations and heightened conflict risks due to expansion, prominently during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Jack Matlock (Former U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union) - Criticized NATO expansion for potentially setting the stage for conflict with Russia, in articles and public lectures, particularly during the 1990s.

I think framing the ethical considerations of this based on geographical borders is unnecessarily limiting.

Political borders should not be relevant to evaluate the ethics of what each person did.

Manning & Snowden ultimately to me acted ethically (And subjectively history has not been kind to the things that Snowden has had to do or chose to do since he got asylum in Russia)

Assange ultimately acted UN-ethically by being selective in some cases (leaking DNC data but not RNC), and "non partisan" in others (Leaking data that contained info on US war crimes; while also risking the lives of unrelated US intelligence agents and informants NOT complicit in war crimes)
Please note that traditional century-old diets have a great track record of sustaining communities, but it's not necessarily the case that the old diets can lead to long lifespans given our current levels of food availability. For instance, my grandmother used to tell me that I needed sugar to grow strong, so she added a ton of it to my milk when I was little. Refined sugar wasn't as readily available, or equally cheap, a long time ago so the small amounts of sugar that made sense in the past doesn't make sense today. She meant well, but the old knowledge unfortunately ended up creating a perverse incentive.

What you are saying makes complete sense, but it's important to have in mind that when going all-in with "traditional" foods, one still needs to worry about overall intake - the century-old foods can still kill you if your diet isn't balanced.
> The word data can be either singular or plural depending on meaning and context. In general usage, data is treated as singular when used as a mass noun to mean “information” and as plural when used to mean “individual facts.” In scientific and academic writing, data is almost always used as a plural noun. In digital technology, data is usually treated as a singular mass noun to mean “digitally stored information.”

While it’s used interchangeably a lot, it’s also based on whether you have a scientific or CS background. My hunch is that the scientific plural usage will eventually largely die out except in very specific situations after a few generations given that software is eating the world.

"Not hiding" is a pretty disingenuous way of putting it.

"Being better at targeted propaganda" isn't really how I'd like our leaders to be chosen. Obviously that's where we are, but I wish we could do better.
From Cheese (they don't have a HN account, so I'm posting for them):

Each weight is a FP16 float which is 2 Bytes worth of data, you have 70B tokens, so the total amount of data the weights take up is 140GB then you have a couple extra GBs for the context.

Then to figure out the theoretical tokens per second you just divide the amount of memory bandwidth, 5300GB/s in MI300X's case, by the amount of data that the tokens and context take up so 5300/142 which is about 37 tokens per second.
If you read/listen to the Stratechary interview wirh Lisa Hsu, she spelled out being open ro customizing AMD hardware to meet partner's needs. So if Microsoft needs more memory bandwidth and less compute, AMD will build something just for them based on what they have now. If Meta wants 10% less power consumption (and cooling) for a 5% hit in compute, AMD will hear them out too. We'll see if that hardware customization strategy works outside of consoles.
It’s still around but it was moved to the old SGI building in the SF/Bay Area. I went to the old one growing up; my dad worked at DEC and it was great fun to see all the hardware at the CHM.
When you're looking at a demo, the results just have to look good enough for the demo to be impressive. When you're actually using it, the results actually need to be good.
The jurisdictions I'm aware of that have actually implemented these taxes impose per-mille, not percent.
I'm unsure where the purity claim comes from. Parent said people should praise him for his actions. Nowhere it's stated ALL his actions, or that he is pure in any way, shape or form.

Nobody is perfect and he's no different, all that they're expressing is that making the hard moral choice to expose bad behavior should be applauded instead of punished.

I know the vast majority of us (including me) would not have the courage to risk personal retaliation to expose bad behavior. We all love to think we would, but we all witness corruption everywhere and never say a word for a plethora of reasons.

If they were claiming "purity" as you imply, I'd agree. But that's not what was written, and it seems a lot of people have the same flawed interpretation. Yes, he's flawed, but that doesn't make what he has done any less brave.
Do you plan to eventually support alternatives to the mix of Golang templates in YAML? It’s my main issue regarding Helm charts and I dream about pkl helm charts.

How does this differ from Ragas? https://docs.ragas.io/en/latest/index.html
For one thing, it's built into windows from the apt-get-go; And honestly has a pretty extensive library; So you can just copy your setupPC.ps1 file and run it to install all your software, and also update any that's already installed.

Honestly Microsoft's biggest miss is not having a GUI for it. (The Windows Store does act as a software source for it, but the primary software source is separate and much larger without the Windows Store overhang.)

If they implemented 1. An Apt like interface (it's kinda not amazing as is) and 2. a GUI, it could see mass adoption overnight. As long as they don't fuck it up or be overbearing on who gets to be included. And no paid software should be listed by default; at least not without a trial and a warning that it's paid software.
No I meant that I only use my PC for gaming and nothing more. Previously it was my main machine that was also used for gaming.

Huh, didn’t know about that line. I do tend to refer to scientific data plurally, where each datum is meaningless, and technical data singularly.
I see ok that makes a lot more sense I wasn't super clear on the distinction between language and natural language.
Not counting access costs binary is always the best for *reading*, but that comes at the cost of expensive *writing*. B-trees are a compromise between reading and writing. The various other tree types are actually just special cases of b-trees.

B-tree also enjoys a *massive* advantage when your access block size can hold many keys. With big data this will always win.
The usual standard in the UK is for a sentence to get a reduction of around 1/3 for a guilty plea. The situation I hear of in the US where people are threatened with a 537 year sentence if they plead not guilty or a 3 month sentence if they plead guilty is a travesty and surely leads to vast levels of injustice.
> Please, please, someone revive this. It was a pleasure to use.

It was not a pleasure to code for though. I doubt there will be much interest.
Thanks for explaining. I had this silly idea that may be small wheels is a new tech and big wheels was something that just worked and everyone stuck with that back then.

What is it they have on these wheels if its not rubber and how does bigger wheel avoid the downside of not having rubber?

Why reinvent half of Kubernetes?
I have been working on a project in a similar vein: rq[0]. Mine started out as an attempt to make a jq-like frontend for the Rego[1] language. However, I do find myself using it to simply convert from one format to another, and for pretty printing, quite often.

The interactive mode that qq has is really slick. I didn't torture test it, but it worked pretty smoothly with a quick test.

I see that the XML support is implemented using the same library as rq. This definitely has some problems, because the data model of XML does not map very cleanly onto JSON. In particular, I recall that I had problems using mxj to marshal arrays, and had to use this[2] ugly hack instead. qq seems to have done this a little more cleanly[3]. I may just have to lift this particular trick.

I definitely found CSV output to be challenging. Converting arbitrary JSON style data into something table shaped is pretty tricky. This[4] is my attempt. I have found it works well enough, though it isn't perfect.

I can also see that qq hasn't yet run into the byte order marker problem with CSV inputs yet. Might want to check out spkg/bom[5].

One final breadcrumb I'll drop - I drew a lot of inspiration for rq's input parsers from conftest[6]. That may be a good resource to find more formats and see specific usage examples of them.

Thanks for sharing! It's really interesting to see some of the convergent evolution between rq and qq.

There's also a stop-motion TV series for kids, with someone who's always doing some sort of handy man task that gets completely out of hand? What's that one called again?

In terms of general TV humor, I've found it rather similar to English humor. Very dry, a great example is the movie Byl jsem mladistvým intelektuálem (I was a teenage intellectual)[1]. Completely surreal, and worth a watch.

I, personally, rather enjoy it all.

Why should they be given special treatment?
Not currently but we have an internal tool that does bi-directional syncing using Postgres's replication protocol and WAL2JSON. It's not quite ready for prime time but we're hoping to get it into people's hands soon.
Sweet, thank you! Much better prices than local record stores
My argument was not that sudoers is good - it's crazy overcomplicated.

My argument was data interchange format standards are orthogonal to config files. They don't have the same goals.

A programmer who thinks "I'll use JSON|YAML|TOML for my config file" - well, you didn't solve your first problem (what should the config look like, in a way that makes sense and is easily readable, understandable, updateable by the user) and you added a second problem before you even started solving the first - whatever your config looks like, it now also has to be 100% compliant with some data interchange format and support all its features, and that's going to require a lot of code - and then we get into whether you write the compliant parser/generator, or if someone else does and you do/don't audit every line of it. And then on top of that you add an additional pile of code to parse/generate whatever your actual config format is.
I was also thinking more about this sentiment, and how much or little it matters.

You're not selling this to interviewees. So their sentiment - that is, my sentiment - ultimately doesn't matter.

However, I would wager that a lot of good software engineers would view this as wildly disrespectful of their time, and would refuse to engage with this; it would be a filter for engineers who for whatever reason cannot say "no" to this - more desperate, more junior. It might impact the actual customers, when their talent pool starts looking shallow and full of algae.
This would probably work if corporations were NOT permitted to infinitely assimilate via mergers and acquisitions. Then yes, the marketplace becomes a real competitive marketplace not Behemoth Krakens assimilating or crushing all lifeforms.
I assume the MI300A APU also supports zero-copy. Because MI300X is a separate chip you necessarily have to copy data over PCIe to get it into the GPU.
Ok, that makes sense. I will try this route. Thank you!
Right, that's a good clarification.

Your users will still need to manually merge in a CRDT application; because computers can not read minds.

The best a CRDT application can do is spit out garbage when changes conflict.

IE, start with: The quick brown fox jumped over the fence.

We both disconnect. At the same exact time...

I change it to: The quick brown fox ran around the fence.

You change it to: The quick brown fox dug under the fence.

The best you can do is make a data structure that is consistent and identifies the conflict. CRDT can't "read our minds" and decide between "ran around" or "dug under".

This looks like an interesting take on package management. Would be cool for homebrew clusters and the like.

However things like helmfile with renovate paired with a pipeline is my personal preference even if just for ensuring things remain consistent in a repo.

The `update all` button for instance seems terrifying on a cluster that means anything at all. None the less it's still cool for personal projects and the like!

The package controller reminds me a lot of Helm tiller with older versions of helm, and it became a big security issue for a lot of companies, so much so that helm3 removed it and did everything clientside via configmaps. Curious how this project plans on overcoming that.

Weird to claim it's future-proofed when it's dropping support for MV2. IIRC other browsers (Brave, Safari) are not dropping MV2 support, and hopefully Google will eventually rethink this.
One advantage: `ls -i` gives you the file's inode in a POSIX portable way. If you glob and then look it up individually for each file, you'll need to be aware of which tool (and whether it's GNU or BSD in origin) you use on which platform.

In general yes globbing is better for iterating through files. But parsing `ls` doesn't necessarily mean the author doesn't know shell. It might mean they know it well enough to use the tools that are made available to them.
Manning leaked multiple files relating to the execution of surrendering fighters and murder of civilians. "Collateral Murder" being the big one.

The events of 1/6/2020, and the proliferation of unfounded 2020 election fraud claims, would suggest otherwise. Not to mention his plans to "be a dictator for a day" and persecute his political opponents if elected this fall.
