You say the question is honest, but your characterization of each side (neutral words for one side, "stagnant" for the other) implies an uncharitable bias. Regardless, there is not one finger - it is of course not that simple. People on both sides are entitled and people on both sides are the victims of entitlement.

As for who gets to make accusations of entitlement - anybody. When two people make different claims about the spread of entitlement, that's just disagreement. You don't have to build up rules around it.
Ah too bad :)

Thanks for the link! Though I'm less worried about the tarball / OCI spec part, more about platform compatibility. I tried running runc/crun by hand at some point and let's just say I've done things before that were more fun. :)
AI Chatbot supporting Oracle to PostgreSQL migrations
I disagree, our brains almost always deal with complex multiparameter phenomena.

The part of us that can't cope with that is our System 2 reasoning: our minds' rules based thinking is great at F=ma but cannot enumerate the rules necessary at the level of retina cell activation patterns to recognise a tiger; our System 1 can, and always does, we just call it "intuition" or "common sense" or "a gut feeling".

there's a readme at https://gitlab.com/kragen/bubbleos/-/tree/master/yeso. it's about 19 kilobytes, has c, python, and lua bindings, and runs on x-windows or the linux framebuffer. feedback is welcome

i never had a working c64, but i did what you're describing on the c64 on the ti-99/4a, and it's pretty similar to how vga text modes and the nintendo work as well. it was an important technique when 64k was a lot of ram and cpus were slow enough that you couldn't rewrite the whole framebuffer every frame (much less generate the video waveform on the fly in software). nowadays it just saves you five lines of code

for (int y = 0; y < fb.size.y; y++) {
ypix *p = yp_line(fb, y);
for (int x = 0; x < fb.size.x; x++) {
char sc = stipple[(y % 4) * 8 + (x % 4) * 2];
p[x] = (sc == '.' ? 0 : -1);
}
}

a modern equivalent might be fragment shaders like https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XtcBWH, which i made six years ago; like the stipple pattern we started out this thread with, it simulates the appearance of woven cloth or basketry
Gitops and a local dev story are more about your application than your deployment environment. Especially because along the way you need to consider building, testing, CI, etc.

It's really hard to fault k8s these days, all the original problems are solved and all that remains is necessary complexity that can't be abstracted without lowering power.

That doesn't mean you can't abstract over it, you can and should but you should do so in the scope of your team or organisation where you already know which pieces of power you need/want or otherwise know the way you which you want to leak those capabilities.
That handles the time "now". Assume within 3 years, a country changed timezones 2 times. If you rely on TZDB, you can never be sure "What happened on May <year> 16.00?". It happened in Turkey and it was a bad time to be a sysadmin.
It seems the reliability, speed and scalability drops with the Ethernet are somewhat manageable.

To quote the article - From our tests, we found that Infiniband was systematically outperforming Ethernet interconnects in terms of speed. When using 16 nodes / 128 GPUs, the difference varied from 3% to 10% in terms of distributed training throughput[1]. The gap was widening as we were adding more nodes: Infiniband was scaling almost linearly, while other interconnects scaled less efficiently.

And then they do mention that the research team needs to debug unexplained failures on Ethernet that they’ve not seen on Infiniband. This actually can be the expensive part. Particularly if the failures are silent and cause numerical errors only.
And at the same time ads are the reason we can use many services for free.
> For a smaller open-source version, certain sequences, such as those from viruses and a US government list of worrying pathogens and toxins, were excluded from training. Neither can ESM3-open — which scientists anywhere can download and run independently — be prompted to generate such proteins.

I assume you live in a city. If everyone else before you in your city had thought the same way and blocked development it's very likely you'd have never lived where you are right now, and the culture you are trying to keep would have never even formed.

If your city is attractive enough it will eventually be developed further, instead of fighting completely against an inevitable change it'd be good to help shape how such developments can happen in a way that won't completely erode what you like about what you and your neighbours fostered. It's a much more creative endeavour than attempting to stop the winds of change, those won't stop blowing, work with it.
Sure, that might explain it, except when people get replacements things are improved, but then start getting worse. Some even are on their 3rd CPU.

What's making news is that Intel is starting (in at least one case) to deny RMA replacements after the first, despite shipping defective CPUs as replacements.
Chatbots will always say what you want them to say, in a tone that you like. They will always affirm that you're right.

Where did they get that?
Exactly. More than one bad practice in there. note the secret was never in the repo though. Only in the container image.
I never felt the need to talk to a computer or have things summarised for me. I so far have no need to "increase my productivity". LLMs don't improve my life. This has nothing to do with being neurodivergent. You'd do yourself a huge favour if you touched grass once in a while. Unlike LLMs, regular people will tell you when you're full of shit.
Precisely, it's just about which abstraction and responsibility level you want to engage with. Managed k8s (from good vendors) means the scheduler is as far as you need to go which is enough to do a great many "self hosted" things.
Wouldn't that be great, we wouldn't have to feel bad about destroying the planet anymore :) I don't think it's true though. Do you have any evidence that consumer choice does not have any impact on carbon emissions? In other areas it definitely does [1]

> if you don't buy cheap coal energy, someone will

No, not if everyone starts asking for clean energy instead. There isn't an infinite number of people, at some point demand for clean energy will make it unattractive to offer dirty energy.

I think a dislike button makes more sense for replies. It might just speed up the echo chamber effect, but people are already hiding, muting, and blocking those with opposing or intolerable replies. So, in some ways, dislikes for replies make sense. People already weaponize blocks, and I often hear stories of accounts getting unjustly banned because of "organized bans" where a group of users coordinate to block and signal to ban someone they disagree with. Plus, you can already mark posts as "not interesting," so it might not make much difference.
There's similar projects like QB64 and L-Basic. I have to wonder if keeping language variants alive will be of historic significance hundreds of years from now. Will anyone care about early computing to this extent?

Writing a new NT HAL is a very impressive achievement. A tip of my hat to you, sir!

Docs are spotty at best, and I am sure many bugs aren’t known as existing HALs simply got lucky to not expose them.
Varies by brand, some use better parts. I've definitely seen file servers that won't boot after 3 years, then I pull a few drives to lower the power needed and it boots. After another year or two I have to pull more drives.

Even with generously specced power supplies, server class hardware, redundant power supplies, and enough smarts to stage the drive spin ups to avoid a large peak inrush current when 16 drives try to spin up at once.
The difference is, lots of companies are building out AI solutions right now. And when I say lots, I mean a significant percentage of fortune 500s who never had any intention of touching crypto or VR with a ten foot pole.

Also, based on my own user feedback, we've started to get requests across different apps with different user slices, all asking us for what amounts to replacing or adding AI chatbots on top of search (presumably withb some type of RAG implementation). The demand is definitely there.
Not sure why I didn't think to mention this before: One tool you might consider is redumper, it's designed in particular to handle multisession CDs, and it attempts to over-read into the disc lead-in and lead-out to catch data outside of the range covered in the TOC (particularly common in older CDs). It only outputs a final split bin+cue, but everything read, including scrambled data, toc, and subchannel/subcode, is saved for future processing. The bin+cue can be used with ISO Buster (and probably other tools) to access Enhanced CD filesystems. Feel free to reach out if you need some tips, this is what I use for my collection.

https://github.com/superg/redumper/

Caveat: It is mostly intended for use with the low-level features of Plextor drives, so CD support on other drives is relatively limited; in particular it doesn't have any overlapping read paranoia-style features. The recommendation is to dump twice to confirm; it's running straight through without seeking so that's usually still quite fast.

No, and I don't know if the fact that everyone on their team page is wearing turtlenecks is a tongue-in-cheek joke or not but it gives off some real creepy Theranos vibes.
The vast majority of papers, even computational ones can run in that way. If there are compute intensive steps, the same process can be done, with a step that includes the previous output, such that it only gets regenerated if the user manually deletes it. I usually do this with Makefiles.

Obviously a startup will require some weekends.
> My point was that a lot of older software, especially desktop apps, did not have such wild dependencies. Therefore this was less of an issue.

Anyone who worked with Perl CGI and CPAN would tell you managing dependencies across environments has always been an issue. Regarding desktop software; the phrase "DLL hell" precedes NPM and pip by decades and is fundamentally the same dependency management challenge that docker mostly solves.
The most noticeable difference is still the metal heatsink. LED drivers would be non-isolated ones, so only a single coil (not a transformer). The other part of the weight difference would be capacitors (hopefully larger ones), and (hopefully) input filtering. Some LED bulbs have terrible input filtering (or not at all) and can easily die due to transients (incl. inductive motor noise/kickback) - input filtering normally would be a capacitor + coil.

> You prefer a corrupt judge in the Supreme Court? Taking lavish bribes from friends?

He accepted expensive non-monetary gifts from friends, and failed to disclose them. I agree it isn't a good look, but I don't think it is as bad as you are painting it.

Can anyone point to a case in which (1) Thomas voted in an unexpected way (given his track record) and (2) in a way which directly benefited any of these friends?

I don't think anyone can. I think, if it was as blatant as "I know your ultra-conservative ideology tells you to vote one way on this case, but here's a suitcase containing a million dollars for you to side with the liberals instead" – he'd be gone very quickly, even the GOP would be voting for articles of impeachment. But it wasn't anything like that.

Rich friends were gifting him expensive vacations, but he'd vote the way they wanted even without that. And he wasn't hearing any cases to which those friends were parties. At most, he was reading amicus briefs signed by conservative lobby groups for whom one of these generous rich friends was a board member. But, given how conservative he is, it is very likely he would have ruled the way they wanted even if his benefactor was not on their board. The real purpose of those briefs is not to convince Thomas which way to vote (everybody already knows), it is to give him ideas for justifications, and to try to convince some of the more moderate conservatives (especially Roberts) which way to vote.

And I can understand how federal bureaucrats, who would lose their job (or even go to prison) for a lot less, must feel upset at the double standard. But there have always been different standards for judges, and especially for those at the top of the judicial ladder. And I don't think the US is unique in that regard, many other countries it is the same thing.

> When calling people "vermins", even if illegally immigrating to a country, is normalised you are not on a Left-shift of the Overton window.

Australia has, in many ways, a harsher immigration policy than the US had, even under Trump. Yes, our politicians are much more careful and measured in their language. But Australia has bipartisan support for harsh immigration enforcement measurements which Republicans could only dream of implementing in the US. If we focus on style, Trump may sound like someone from the far far far right; if we focus on substance, in practice his administration was (in some ways at least) to the left of Australia's current (on paper socialist) government.
What's your source of this? I remember reading that the number of accepted requests from governments increased significantly under Musk.

The Nintendo DS light fits comfortably in a pocket on the other hand and had great games made for it that took advantage of that platform's featureset (I personally think the legend of zelda games for that platform have some of the best controls out of any handheld nintendo game with the stylus gestures).

Germany – Coal generation at low during Q2 2024
Ask HN: How to get good advice for investing in non-public companies?
Hi folks. I'm probably not the only person on HN who technically qualifies as an Accredited Investor and is interested in investing in pre-IPO companies.

Given the greater requirement for due diligence, though, I've been uncertain how to approach this. My ideal choice would be to find a trusted, hourly advisor who has significant experience advising people in this regard. I am thinking particularly in terms of how to navigate agreements that are more opaque than the ownership of a publicly listed stock, what marketplaces to use and so on.

Does anyone have any experience in this regard? What advisors should I seek? What marketplaces should I investigate? Is there any part of this process that is easier than I'd expect? Minimum invested amounts? Is there any degree of standard processes established for this? Major pitfalls beyond investing in the wrong company? Etc.
For anyone actually interested in this technology, it's something you can do on your own with nothing more than an ESP32.

I've seen research papers on using this method to do gesture detection as well.
Second this… or VTI is the ETF equivalent. It’s all I do now.

> 0, https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ 1.75% of Steam users have a VR headset as of June this year which is lower than the people who are using Linux for gaming (2.08%). So you can see how small the VR market is. And the top alternatives are $500 (Quest 3) and $1000 (Valve Index) which are expensive on their own but $3500 (that you can't even use on Steam gaming lol) is just an astronomical difference

Apple Vision Pro was never touted as a gaming device, so I get that. I still hope Facebook/Meta keeps up with the Quest.
What about, instead of using AI to summarize the issue text for the developer, using AI on the _submission_ end to notice if the bug report doesn't contain enough details and ask the submitter clarifying questions until the submission is a really good bug report?

> I'm amazed this is legal

If someone is well-informed (the key point here - but I assume professional athletes are well aware of what they're doing) and still wants to do something weird and/or dangerous to their body, without harming others in the process - who is to deny them their bodily autonomy, and on what basis?

> and that people would do it in the first place

Two words: professional sports. Those folks willingly (I hope, or that'd be insane) risk their health for money, fame, and advances of medical science. Although the entertainment industry really tries the weirdest thing that I really don't understand - trying their best to shift the focus away from the science advancement as much as possible, even though this is the only actually valuable thing in professional sports.

When to Trust an AI Model
It's fair to say that many commercial chatbots are trained to be ingratiating by HFRL. I wouldn't say that they agree with you always but they are certainly "agreeable" in terms of the big 5 personality characteristics.

The positive value that opposes "agreeable" is "critical", but I'd say you can only get away with critical when you're right and chatbots have trouble being right.

You certainly train a Chatbot to be a real ass or have the attitude of Oscar the grouch if you wanted to.
I've seen this partly. The influence of mediocre smooth talkers is hard to believe. I also believe that non-tech social groups are more impressed by large teams rather than one or two geniuses. Lastly large companies asking loads of money to operate will also have cushions in case of problems.. the efficient lone wolf will not.

People with deep non mainstream knowledge should avoid mainstream by wide margins and try to assemble in small groups of like-minded hackers.
It obviously has the potential.... work in weather and biology points to it.
Native app on phone > bookmarked site > typing site name (but only if using native browser password manager to auto-complete when the domain is correct).

Or something like that. I hate when I have to type site URLs from printed material (usually only doctor's bills, yet another reason to move to single-payer/socialized care) because I'm paranoid I'll get it wrong. Even more so with some of the janky URLs used by medical payment processors (contrived but realistic example: http://paymemoney.doctors.systemhealth.net/~drabdullahriaz/l...). Le Sigh.
Lua is the correct choice. It’s not perfect, but there’s nothing better than it.

It’s the fastest scripting language and it’s easy to embed it into the application.

The ‘batteries’ can be found in `:h lua.txt`, they’ve grown significantly each release, and you can even use a package manager.
The app store ate its own tail. When Apple first started pushing for games, many of the most "polished" cost about $9.99. apparently this was too high for consumers considering these were marketed along side $0.99 or free games that might be ad/dark pattern supported.

Meanwhile consider other consoles. Games are all the same price around $60. The cheap/simple games are like $15. The pricing supports different business models although certainly in recent years the $60 releases are falling prey to gambling mechanics and other dystopian decisions.
Thanks, that helps a lot and I didn't know about it:) It's a touch less powerful than full transactions (because AFAICT you can't say merge a COPY and RUN together) but it's a big improvement.

It could have worked for a more physical experience, but the Vision Pro does less for me than even an Oculus Quest 2. No controllers, no haptics, I just get that it wasn't aimed at me but I'm scratching my head about what they were going for. Even Meta isn't to keen on the experiences I value in VR (basically fitness), and even though they support it, I get the feeling that they would much rather be doing social experiences...I hope someone enters the VR space in the fitness area with more enthusiasm.
