On the other hand, AMD was on the brink of bankruptcy and Lisa Su led them out of it and into a triple-digit share price. Most companies with that much debt and that little revenue would have gone bankrupt.

Lest we forget the Intel IPC advantages over comparable AMD CPUs was due to some shortcuts that exposed major vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs made from ~2011 to 2019. I’d be curious to see how a Spectre and Meltdown-patched Intel CPU fares against its AMD competitor NOW. Some of the performance hits were brutal- 20%+ in some workloads.

Nvidia was pushing AMD out of the GPU market back when GPUs were effectively only used for gaming and while GameWorks was predatory, you can’t really blame them for having the cooler-running, quieter, more energy-efficient GPUs going back to the Maxwell line (GTX 9x0). CUDA didn’t screw AMD until recently… but in 2014, people were picking Nvidia because the GPUs were considerably “better”. AMD had the best bang for buck back then, but you’d have more power consumption and heat output, and the drivers tended to be buggy. The bugs would be fixed, but it really sucked for people trying to play games on release day.
I do hiring in the public health IT sector of a big european country, and this would lead to some tough questions.
There's never been a drought there historically. The geological and geographical realities simply don't permit it. Maybe if the population suddenly increased by a hundred times over, there could be some water issues. Not for a lack of water, but lack of infrastructure. The government/media (they're one and the same there) just decided a couple of years ago that water access was a huge problem. There are no academic or scientific papers claiming any risk of water shortage, because there is no scientific basis for it.

So I'm curious as to their purpose. Sure, the politicians can hire some friends and relatives to well paid government jobs to plan for a drought that will never come. The media can keep a percentage of their readers in the state of anxiety that they love. And probably it can help in having a part of the population take their minds of real problems that would require real solutions. But those reasons sound kind of meagre. Is it a bid to nationalize and privatize the water supply for further control and profit? Could be.

> More than likely, you'll find that there's solid evidence that the rate of fresh water replenishment is in a negative trajectory.

You seem to blindly assume that any government is completely right in everything they do and say. If I wrote that there was a huge drought in my region and the government denies it, then you would argue here that the government is right and the cattle dying of dehydration are just reactionaries.
I gave up on proptest and did this, too.

What I miss is: Shrinking, deterministic replay.
That doesn’t seem right. The tdp for the 1700 is 65w… no way an io die is consuming most of that. Here’s a comparison of a system with a ryzen 1700 idling vs intel contemporaries which don’t have a separate i/o die:
https://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/amd-ryzen-7-1700-revie...

Note that it’s only 7W greater at stock clocks.
The alternative is that you have them on a device you need to take out or look away for.

You’d still be able to silence notifications of course. People always imagine a barrage of notifications, but we’ve had years of leading up to this with notification groups, summaries, focus modes etc
I might consider it tbh.
I have a smartphone app that scrapes replay TV listings for a few shows that I like to watch at the gym and allows me to download the low-quality media stream to the phone to view offline ad-free.

I released the Rust library that downloads and reassembles media segments from a DASH stream (https://github.com/emarsden/dash-mpd-rs). Won't release the web scraping bits because they are against website terms and conditions, and because annoying countermeasures will be implemented if too many people use them.
Basing a company's culture on Blind comments is like basing it on the movie Office Space. Sure there's a subset of scenarios that mimic them, but they're both ultimately characitures of the actual job.
It’s hard to understand the mindset behind advocating for the removal of privacy. The potential for abuse is so plainly obvious, I have to conclude it’s the objective, not an unintended side effect.
As someone who has been in both industries (defense and gambling), be honest with the product. Tech can be nice and it has interesting challenges but if your growth is outside the tech, then you are going to struggle.
Genuine question; does anyone here run a GNU/Hurd based OS as their daily driver?

I've always thought Hurd seemed pretty cool but the thing that stops me from using nearly any OS less popular than Linux is always driver and software support.
I agree with the parent - global initialisation order is a once-bitten-never-again, and the reality is that working in most codebases doesn't require understanding all of these rules - knowing the quirks is usually only required by one or two people and the rest can work with what they've got.
Because it’s rather obvious, how else would you describe it?

Book Review: Don Juan by Lord Byron
I completely missed the `<PATHS>` argument despite being the first thing documented under `jj log`. That's definitely the most critical feature out of my list, thank you for pointing that out!

Also, it's great to hear that you're willing to accept contributions for those features. If/when Jujutsu gains critical mass, I imagine that someone will end up contributing these features.

Regarding rename detection, it seems like that is actively being worked on, which is really encouraging! https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/3574
It turns out that a lot of the complexity of modern programming languages come from the language designers trying to make misaked harder.

If you want to simplyfing by synthesising decades of accumulated knowledge into a coherent language, or to remove depreciated ideas (instead of the evolved spaghetti you get by decades of updating a language) then fine. If your approach to simplicity is to just not include the complexity, you will soon disciplinary that the complexity was there for a reason.
Until the later Core 2 Quad CPUs, AMD’s stuff was “technologically” better in the multi core workloads. The problem with that is that multi core workloads were uncommon at the time. This is where the “AMD Fine Wine” meme originated. By the time people had moved on to better things, the greatness of AMD’s technologies became apparent.

Personally, I’ve always liked Intel for stability reasons. Running Intel chipsets and CPUs, I’ve just had fewer issues. I’m an enthusiast, so I do spend more than I should on both Intel and AMD rather frequently… but now, I’m hungry for an Ampere system. My wallet is crying.
I never get spam calls, but I do get a lot of spam SMS messages - also in Germany. (They're almost always fake 2FA activation messages from some bank I'm not a customer of)
I know what you mean with those other tools, but this doesn't happen in Unison. The reason those systems are somewhat flaky is that the cache of what's in memory can diverge from the "source of truth" which is a bag of constantly mutating text files. Maybe put another way, cache invalidation is hard in those systems.

When the source of truth is instead a database, content-addressed by hash, cache invalidation is simple - if the hash has changed, a cached result is invalid and needs recomputing. If the hash is the same, you're good. We use this approach in many places throughout Unison and it's quite robust.
I'm not sure what you mean by "enter the singularity". Once an object has crossed the event horizon, its light rays can no longer reach us. From an outside perspective, the time required would be based on the object's orbit and when it intersected with the event horizon.

When you say "thing", it's more like photons. While thought experiments of a diver falling into a black hole are fun to ponder, nature isn't so gentle.

The corona, tidal forces, magnetic fields--and other factors--would obliterate matter into a stream of subatomic particles and light before crossing the event horizon. So the concept of a "thing" moving inside a black hole is likely misguided.

It’s been called one of the most extreme physical environments in the universe.
Strong magnetic fields threading the inner accretion disk extend out of it,
creating a tenuous, turbulent, billion-degree cloud. Particles in the corona
orbit the black hole at velocities approaching the speed of light. It’s a source
of X-rays with much higher energies than those emanating from the accretion
disk, but astronomers are still trying to figure out its extent, shape, and
other characteristics. [0]

NASA provides a fantastic overview here [0].

A few resources to check out: Sean Carrol, PBS Space Time, Ask a Spaceman, and Why this Universe are all great resources--and frequently do deep dives into this topic.

UPI is 'the' sexy tech of online payments because its so fucking smooth. I am shilling for an open tech because it just works.

you are not dependent on a particular bank network or phony names or apps stealing money. you always get real name of the bank holder of the remitee before paying, you are shown the amount clearly.
You NEED to input your transaction pin/bio to verify payment.

you can't be swindled by phony links because it clearly shows the name of the remitter and amount you are paying and you can't affect that from a sus link or whatever.

by whatever reason you are made to pay, you have to input your pin.
Or the mountain of lies rightists and centrists around the world used to justify imperialism, capitalism, seggregation - all the way to colonialism and slavery.
> You can bring the case to the authorities, but they will be the one deciding if it's an offense or not, and your political opponent will not be tied up in court until then.

You forget that the "authorities" are appointed by politicians.

If you're left-wing, would you be comfortable being tried by someone appointed by Trump?

If you're right-wing, would you be comfortable being tried by someone appointed by Biden?

(Please forgive the US references, I'm not familiar with Welsh politics and don't know the names of politicians who would cause similar fear in political opponents there.)

Edit:

Rather than arguing about hypotheticals or foreign equivalents, let's consider a specific case cited in TFA:

> During the debate, the Labour member Alun Davies accused the leader of the Tories in Wales, Andrew RT Davies, of tweeting a “direct lie” earlier on Tuesday that Labour want to pay illegal immigrants £1,600 a month.

In fact, Labour did pay £1,600 a month to certain immigrants who were seeking, but had not yet been granted, asylum. The only "lie" in question is the use of the term "illegal immigrants". That's the kind of blurry political line that Labour wants to criminalize.[1]

And it's a far, far more blurry line than murder. It's almost certain to be decided solely based on the political beliefs of the judge and jury.

I'm not talking about corruption here. I'm talking about the kind of controversial questions where "truth" is really open to debate.

"VERDICT: False. The Welsh government ran a pilot project that included financial help for asylum-seeking children, not illegal migrants."

Introduction:
Pong is a classic arcade game that simulates table tennis. It was one of the earliest arcade video games, created by Atari and released in 1972. The game consists of two paddles (or “paddles”) and a ball, which moves between the two paddles. Players control one of the paddles, moving it up and down to hit the ball back and forth. The goal is to score points by making the ball pass the opponent’s paddle without being returned.

Now, let’s delve into why Python is a good choice for programming a Pong game:

Ease of Learning: Python is known for its simplicity and readability, making it an excellent choice for beginners. Its syntax is clear and concise, which means that even those new to programming can quickly understand and write code.

Versatility: Python is a versatile language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. This flexibility allows developers to choose the approach that best suits their project’s needs. For a game like Pong, object-oriented programming (OOP) is particularly useful for organizing game entities like paddles, balls, and scores into classes.

Extensive Libraries: Python has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Pygame, which is a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Pygame provides functionality for handling graphics, sound, and input devices, making it an ideal choice for developing simple 2D games like Pong.

Cross-Platform Compatibility: Python is a cross-platform language, meaning that Python code can run on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This ensures that your Pong game can be played by users regardless of their platform.

def check_collision(rect1, rect2):
# Get the positions and sizes of the rectangles

x2, y2, w2, h2 = rect2

# Check for overlap in the x-axis
if x1 + w1 > x2 and x1 < x2 + w2:
# Check for overlap in the y-axis
if y1 + h1 > y2 and y1 < y2 + h2:
return True # Collision detected
return False # No collision

I created a personalized finance app based on a Google Sheet that I used to track my registered account contributions and performance.

Basically I enter the transactions and it shows a dashboard of my contribution rooms, how much is left, how much I have already contributed, etc.

Nothing fancy, but it just just a Remix frontend with MantineUI backed by an SQLite db inside Dropbox. Took me about 6 hours, and I only made it after I botched some changes I made into the Google Sheet that broke a bunch of formulas.

I thought about making it into a public app, but it is so tuned to what I want that it is probably not really that valuable to others.

I use it every time I save. Used to be weekly but lately monthly.
A nice little tidbit, I live in Newtown, often mentioned in Fireman Sam as being the town next to Pontypandy.

I wrote my own home automation platform. I started >10 years ago when the existing options were pretty disappointing to me. It’s a web app that runs on wall mounted tablets in my house as well as on my and my family’s phones and computers.

It handles lights, fans, cameras, sensors, locks, doorbells, speakers and TVs, HVAC and more. It runs automations based on time, weather, presence of people, and other events. It tracks energy consumption, sends alerts, etc. There’s a strong focus on local control (as opposed to cloud).

My favorite thing about it is that the client and server run from the same codebase and share state over a WebSocket connection. I’m still working on it occasionally but mainly it just runs quietly and my people seem to like it. The whole thing is configurable (connectivity, behavior and interface) so theoretically it could be used by someone else, but for many reasons I doubt it ever will :)
The first thing I though about when listening to his description of moving the dial was a servo motor with a torque measuring shaft hooked to a microcontroller. It sounds like you could just graph torque required to turn it over 360 degrees to get the same info he was getting.
I dont see a price point here. Its probaly around 5000 if it is competitive. This makes me wonder what other storage tech could achieve with similar price points.

Exiting times are ahead for anyone with technology for better non-volatiles or better scaling volatile memory

I've worked for several betting companies, and I don't think it hurt me anyhow. And once you have experience with the industry, other betting companies are more likely to pick you when hiring. The same is true for banking (but probably also other industries).
It's really not clear what timescale you're talking about here. Specifically - do you mean today's tankies (in which case it's new), or people at the time of the Soviet union (in which case, where were they posting these incorrect opinion in order to generate outrage that gets them more popular with the algorithm)?
You seem to have a pretty clear understanding of how the law will be implemented and used.

Can you explain in more detail how the Welsh proposal works along with your sources?
You might need to DIY, but "mad scientist" is doing a lot of work in your statement that I don't think applies. You just need to follow some very-thoroughly-detailed online tutorials. It's one of those things like baking, where as long as you're good at faithfully following directions, everything turns out great.

> I keep hoping there will be a bunch of small businesses electrifying everything

There are a few of these per large city; but they serve companies with large budgets for "becoming carbon negative", not residences trying to do things cost-effectively to lower their electric bills.
Is that the same or different from the padlock style ones I see being used to secure military equipment?
Interesting. For a BackBlaze type device with 60 drives, that's 3.6PB of raw storage.

BackBlaze's site is blocked at work, but aren't they up to using 22TB drives? And I think Seagate announced 30TB spinning drives this year. So that's 1.3PB or 1.8PB with 3.5" drives.

Now if you double the amount of drives (assuming those new Samsung drives are 2.5", and use the propsoed 122TB drives, and you could cool and power it) you'd have 14.4PB!

Amazing since the original design needed like 15 pods for a single petabyte.
I worked for an online casino for a few months. Our first major meeting was a brainstorming session to take advantage of the gaming fad to get those kids into betting.
Which isn’t necessarily that great when that judicial system is throughly and entirely openly corrupt even at the very top
> Being able to test GPS jamming techniques against intact munitions isn't some hypothetical academic problem.

The US military-industrial complex is probably extremely grateful for the chance to do the same, here. Very useful if there's ever a direct conflict.

Excalibur, GLSDB, JDAM, and ATACMS all have GPS-aided inertial guidance and can be set to fall back to just inertial; the US has long been aware of the likelihood of GPS jamming in a hot war, and certainly plans to employ the same sort of jamming themselves against potential enemies.

I fully expect there's a lot of work being done on cheap anti-jammer drones that home in on a jammer's signal; it's like a big "come get me!" signal. We already have HARM missiles for radar for a similar purpose.
I actually think it's worth asking the question if these advanced AIs are a kind of p-zombie.
Remembering that poor guy always makes me sad...
I made a macOS/iOS tournament clock for live poker games. I just wasn't happy with the few existing applications, so built and use my own. It is client/server so other people in the tournament can connect their devices and have the clock synchronized and shown on their own device, including phones and watches. It can also run dedicated/headless on Linux. I use a command line client to integration-test the networking and synching.

I never released it because 1. it's perpetually 98% done and 2. I don't feel like offering technical support for it and dealing with people who don't like it or find bugs. I may just open source it, but then I get to be a maintainer which is an even more thankless job.
You made a marketing page for your one-off shared photo collection app?
Is there a C++ tool that adds/shows all the implicit stuff that happens behind the scenes?

Such as all the constructors that are being added, implicit copy constructor and all the other surprises?
I don’t think it would be seen as a negative by most, I believe there are lots of interesting scaling challenges etc. in that industry.

It’s more important you feel comfortable with the decision. I once was in your position and decided against it as it didn’t feel ethically quite right to me, and I never regretted that decision. However if I had really needed work at the time, I’d have taken it so no judgement. It’s legal and regulated in the UK at least.
Are you saying your first name is actually unpronounceable(I’m thinking similar to Elon Musk’s child’s name) or merely hard for most people in whatever area you’re in to pronounce?
Anyone here use the NiceGUI Python web app framework the OP used? There is mention of Electron-like cross-platform ability, which I assumed meant that one could generate a standalone app with it, but I did not find mention of that in the online docs.
DirectX 12 not ultimate still supports most (every?) every game out there. As for "GPU for office work", that's a question left up to specific in-game benchmarks.
"Numbers don't lie" is a truism, but is practically undone by "People use numbers to lie."
I've made an email-based AI personal assistant I thought I'd roll into a business, but ultimately have kept it for personal use. I may open source this as it's a fun project built entirely on Cloudflare Workers (with the exception of one Postgres DB & mail routing).

I've written some really crappy Notion API (before the official API) to act as a CMS for a headless site.

I'm at a weird point in my life that I need to work on these little hacky projects because they bring me genuine joy. It's like lego to me.
A few years back when I was looking for apartments in SF I wrote a craigslist scraper that would filter based on my preferences. I probably could've just used craigslist's built in filters + email alerts, but where's the fun in that?
I think the key question is: would you support this if it was going to be established by your political opponents, whoever they are.
I am working on this tech job board integrating with GitHub in order for devs to show off their dev portfolio and skillset. Companies can find people that actually fit their needs and validate the wanted skill level, while devs can standout with their contributions.

The goal is for devs to be seen like the craftsmen and artists that they are. Let me know what you think, this is also my first post in this community.
About 3 years ago I wrote a web app to make browsing and categorizing my YouTube subscriptions easier. I can, for example, select the music category and see all videos posted by channels I have marked as music. Really simple stuff backed by a sqlite db.

I spent a total of probably 20 hours on it and use it 5/7 days a week.
Also apparently the reason behind Apple's cut with Khronos seems to be related to how OpenCL was managed by them.

In case of Russia, Apple is not or should not be operating in the country, so the condition isn't met.
I remember getting it. Having a real browser was revolutionary. And having the maps app (backed by google maps at the time) was a huge deal.

I had a blackberry before and it was just a glorified email and texting device.

It was immediately obvious how revolutionary the iPhone was. That’s why Android immediately pivoted hard to replicate the experience.
