It took EU a decade to make Apple allow third party stores and even then Apple hasn't really complied still.

Same for browser engines.
Games don't have particularly large buffers. There's just a very long pipeline with lots of buffering. It's honestly pretty bad. But almost no one measures and it doesn't actually matter to players.

Musicians have keenly trained ears. I would imagine their much more sensitive to audio latency than even a pro gamer, nevermind average Joe off the street.

Where latency really matters is when you have a musical instrument that plays a sound and it's connected to a monitor. If those sounds are separated by more than 8ms or so the difference will be super noticeable to anyone, including Joe off the street.

I'd be interested for someone to run a user study on MIDI keyboard latency. I'd bet $3.50 that anything under 40 milliseconds would be sufficient. Maybe 30 milliseconds. I'd be utterly shocked if it needed to be 8 milliseconds. And I'd be extremely shocked if every popular MIDI keyboard on the market actually hit that level of latency.

I was thinking too low of a frequency. Probably high or low can cause problems. I searched and found this: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/6614/can-...

"At the too low horizontal frequency, the period the switch is open becomes too long, that causes the following" [various bad things explained]
Apple has no problems clearly announcing dev kits as dev kits, just look at the Developer Transition Kit hardware they released for the PowerPC->Intel and Intel->Apple Silicon transitions. These kinds of things are not only clearly labeled as dev kits they have required paying to join dedicated dev kit programs which expressly forbid getting the (loaned, not bought) device for non-porting or non-development related work. Apple Vision Pro was nothing like that, it had consumer focused announcements at consumer focused events, had consumer ads, sold through the normal consumer channels, and used standard consumer accounts.

The other thing that doesn't line up with this take is how Apple announcing they've cancelled the next Vision Pro to work on a lower cost version is squared up. Even if you still take the Vision Pro as having always been intended a dev kit for early access, needing to cancel the follow on model development to rescope to a lower end product for the market is no less a miss than the initial launch in that the entire program was completely misaligned with the market until well after launch.

I think half of the news stories are a result of Apple pushing this to release to market instead of just shuttering the version internally and the other half are a result of a launch problem like this being relatively rare for the most valuable company in the world and not necessarily about viewing the product itself with blinders.
With CUDA offloading, I don't think it runs otherwise at all.

I can't seem to be able to edit. My wording was incorrect. It was not needed to implement all those useless features to get your game featured in the store, but very helpful. And it makes sense, imo.
This is really not a shock. If you wanted one, you bought one already. But the number of people who wanted one is fairly minimal: Super early adopters, those with more money than sense, and developers.

It's too expensive for the every-person to buy, too early for even most early adopters, has very little practical uses so far. And those who know, know this device is effectively a devkit in retail clothing.

The first iPhone sucked. The first Apple watch wasn't great (and quickly lost support). The first iPod was probably one of the better "firsts" because it was better than what was out there, same with the iPad. But it generally takes even Apple a couple generations before their products really get going. Just wait till the AVP2 or 3.

Interesting... identity (proof/verification) seems to be the core issue here

> In order to bypass the measures X put in place to prevent bot capabilities, the developer inserted code into the project which would allow for the server to bypass X verification methods. Specifically, when X sends an authentication code to an account, the email is sent directly to the server (because the email associated with the account is located on the same server); the code responds by scraping the verification code and responding to X with it. While this tool is specifically coded for X, it is easily adaptable to any social media platform relying on a similar authentication structure. See Figure 9.

Mitigations

The authoring organizations recommend social media organizations implement the mitigations below to reduce the impact of Russian state-sponsored actors using their platforms in disinformation campaigns.

- Consider implementing processes to validate that accounts are created and operated by a human
person who abides by the platform’s respective terms of use. Such processes could be similar to
well-established Know Your Customer guidelines.

- Consider reviewing and making upgrades to authentication and verification processes based on the
information provided in this advisory;

- Consider protocols for identifying and subsequently reviewing users with known-suspicious user
agent strings;

- Consider making user accounts Secure by Default by using default settings such as MFA, default
settings that support privacy, removing personally identifiable information shared without consent,
and clear documentation of acceptable behavior.
just this week, I clicked on the 1st search result ad for "amazon" in google search. It led me to a windows-themed "Virus detected" amazon clone. I'm not using Windows. I was able to close the tab, but it left a bad taste in my mouth for google search results.

(I know I could have just typed "amazon.com" and gone directly. But browser autocomplete makes it a tiny bit easier to use the omni-url bar and just type "amazon" than "amazon.com")

Oddly enough, Soviet Union had a thing similar to "Kimchi Harvest". I remember workers in my town having to go work at a collective farm for a week harvesting things.

They also had something called "subotnik", aka voluntary Saturday labor. This was a practice where citizens, including workers and students, participated in unpaid labor on Saturdays. These activities included various tasks like cleaning up the city (that's what I remember doing as a kid). There was nothing "voluntary" about it.

I didn't go to college, I got out of high school, took care of my mom and almost immediately worked for an ISP as customer service, worked my way up over 3 buyouts, and 20 years to be a sysadmin for the company that everyone depended on.

Sadly something I only recently allowed myself to understand is that I really don't have passion for networking, I absolutely love coding and creating new integrations, interfaces and backend, I did a lot of it to patch holes in the company i worked for and streamline my own and others work.

I'm a remote contractor for that same company now still doing the networking and some dev work for them but really want to get out and find a company that I can focus more on the DevOps side.

Those don't have to be mutually exclusive though. To take AI out of it, think of those murder mystery parties where actors interact with attendees. Actors have roles to play and things they must do to move the story forward, but they improvise their dialog when talking with the players and sometimes each other. Or if you've ever played D&D, you have experienced talking with NPCs that are controlled by your DM. I think video game AI could be a lot like that, where NPCs use natural language instead of rigid dialog trees, but otherwise, they behave a lot like they do today.

Show HN: Leaderboard of Top GitHub Repositories Based on Stars
I created a leaderboard showcasing the top 1000 GitHub repositories based on the number of stars.

With GitHub hosting over 100 million public repositories, this leaderboard highlights the top 0.001% in terms of the number of stars.

Stars might not be the perfect metric for adoption—metrics like the number of monthly downloads could be more accurate—but this list still represents some of the most popular and influential projects in the open-source community.

this presupposes a way to construct parallel lines to transfer your tenths back to the segment you wanted to subdivide; this can certainly be done to three significant figures of precision with a compass and straightedge (or string and sand table), but it's still extra effort and extra opportunities for error compared to simple perpendicular bisectors

in some cases, it's not extra effort because you're doing a task that requires the construction of those parallel lines anyway, of course. laying out tiles on a floor or ripping a plank into smaller planks, for example. and if your desired parallel lines are perpendicular to the edge of your stela, the square that figures so prominently in the freemasons' logotype allows you to scribe them easily

(then again, once you're going to the effort of making a square, you might as well rule it)

There are a bunch of good answers, but I wanted to succinctly say "practically, quite a bit". Here's a good little rabbit-hole example:

> https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT/blob/master/model.py#L45

Karpathy's nanoGPT calling flash attention by checking if torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention exists

> https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.functiona...

Looking at the docs, in reality, most of the time you want this to call out to FA2 which optimizes the kernals on the device to split ops on the Softmax of the triangular matrix as well as reduce moving unnecessary batches of floating point numbers back and forth from the GPU to the CPU.

> https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.08691

The paper for FA2 almost entirely considers itself through the hardware it's running on.
Because they threaten, harass, boycott, and stir up bad PR? You're suggesting the only recourse for people like Aleta would be to defame, boycott, and threaten violence against these people even further. It's medieval.
I think what you are trying to say here is that if both the Earth and Moon reference frame were blinking out a 1-second clock signal via a laser pointer to a neutral 3rd party reference frame, the third party would see pulses at 1-second intervals from both sources.

This is false. Time itself is in fact progressing at a different rate in both frames, and a second in one is not the same as a second in the other.

But, time still "works the same way" for both reference frames in the sense that its not like the clocks in one appear to move in "slow motion". An observer on Earth or the Moon still sees clocks ticking at one second per second, and objects appear to move and react in the ordinary physical ways at the same rate you expect them to. But this is because the observer is also an object in that reference frame, so their perception of everything is in the same "slow motion" as the objects they observe.

Now, if an observer on the Moon was to watch an observer on Earth with a telescope or vice versa, then they would indeed see "the video playing at a slightly wrong speed". The effect is relative between observers, not local to an observer. That's why its called relativity.
I suspect this is fairly common.

But I'm also not sure self study will help unless you're willing to lie on the resume. People often explicitly demand experience with the particular tool.

Which is why we see so much "resume driven development". People know they need experience with tools, so they generate it.
For us to not be would require brains to be able to compute functions that can not be computed by an artificial computer. That would seem to be an extraordinary suggestion given we have no indication of unusual physics in the brain.
Fine, but I'm now wondering what sort of "data" is going to help you "charge the battery in a customer's device for them [or] move their phone closer to a cell tower."

A natural metric for a distributed system is connectivity (or conversely partition detection). A metric on connectivity is informative. Can the information help you heal the partition? Maybe, maybe not. Time to hit the logs and see why the partition occurred and if an actionable remedy is possible.

Do I seriously have to spend three comments explaining how a policy of "white and Asian men are prohibited from X% of our headcount" is denial of employment, regardless of the value of X?

> If I need to hire someone today and all I have are the "opportunistic" headcount available, am I allowed to hire an Asian man or am I required to leave the job unfilled?

You are prohibited from hiring an Asian or a while male. You can either leave the job unfilled, or hire a woman or URM candidate. The point is white and Asian males are denied that hiring opportunity. It's irrelevant what management would do in this scenario. Whether they'd hire a woman or just leave the position unfilled is irrelevant to the fact that white and Asian males cannot be hired, explicitly on account of their race and gender.

Again, I really find it hard to believe that people are having trouble to understand that a policy of "X% of our headcount is off limits to $RACE and $GENDER" isn't discriminatory and denial of employment on the basis of race and gender. If you're of the opinion that this discrimination is justified on the basis of advancing equity, by all means you're entitled your own opinion. Just don't try and deny that this is discrimination and ultimately results in people denied work because of immutable characteristics.

I'll post the full policy in a reply.

Ask HN: LLM Generated Pull Requests?
With github copilot being out for over two years now, I would have expected more development in this area. Github launched a few experiments, but it still isn't possible to have a pull request generated by copilot.
Are there other services that can generate pull requests? An example usecase I had today: Replace Moment.js with day.js. That seems like the kind of task modern LLM's should be able to handle..
CNN has this trademark way of saying what they want to say while maintaining plausible deniability precisely so that people can write the above comment. Politico seems to have the same editor.

Usually it goes like this: axis of evil horrible rouge state X has done bad things in the past and we all know how they are bad. There is some evidence to suggest they are at it again.

Keyword is scale, specifically massive scale. If your scope is just a couple of (web)servers, then, yeah, you can stick with your tried-and-tested tools and processes. But once you start managing 10s or 100s of servers, including a requirement to recover (i.e., redeploy) them ASAP after an outage, then your basic tools and processes might not be enough…
Pretty sure there's a bunch of pre-existing laws around that though, so not really ripe for disrupting by scaling up the problem. ;)
