>but essentially presumes a nation run by public sector unions and their committees of planners is a desirable end state.

I get that this is an typical perspective for the HN crowd, but "where do I sign up?" An aspirational goal of civilization is that we should be able to cooperate and efficiently distribute labour, so we aren't all spending all our time trying to outhustle each other. Public sector unions and planning committees seem a bit more interested in that goal than VCs and and startup devs.

Dubai is an interesting example. It's not just "we have to spend the money on something", it's "our entire economy has a best-by date, whether it's via the ooze running out, or just the march of renewables and EVs, so we'd better diversify while we can afford to."

Even assuming that transport is free and 1000% green, local manufacturing capacity is important just to ensure you have some control over your needs-- look at the shipping fracas in the Middle East, and ask what products you want on the far end of a 10,000km container-ship journey?

Perhaps Scrooge McDuck is an exaggerated model, but when I see "trillion dollar companies" next to "the middle class household is typically 2+ incomes these days", I'm not sure that taming 10% inflation is what really fixes the latter.
This enables you to run larger models
than you would be able to on any single
device.

No further explanation on how this is supposed to work?

If some layers of the neural network are on deviceA and some layers are on deviceB, wouldn't that mean that for every token generated, all output data from the last layer on deviceA have to be transferred to deviceB?
So far, no examples of an instant typescript while a lot of fans for some reason. Come on people; 1 non trivial (few 100k LoC) ts project on GitHub that hot reloads instantly. If no one can produce even one, something is off no? Making claims is easy; not cl but emacs is non trivial and notoriously slow, still ‘instant’ compared to whatever ts (not hello world, but including hello world; it’s super slow) that I found so far on the same hardware. Sbcl is cl and it’s very fast, almost always instant, obviously depending on what you are doing. CLOG is a frontend joy to work in unlike ts. But many people here say ts is instant (we use the same tooling as peeps here for ts); one non trivial example please. No one produced one and all I try is dog slow. Not even comparatively, just spinning balls on a modern laptop. Some of the most popular devs make projects that ‘hot reload’ on my and my colleagues laptops in 20 or so seconds.
I awhile back I used to do work with a major DARPA contractor. If you're familiar with security clearance for these roles, you know that at the higher levels of clearance you eventually need to take a polygraph exam.

I was never interested in going the clearance route, but got into a conversation with a grizzled industry vet that seemed like a character torn from a hard-boiled detective novel.

At the time I had recently learned that polygraph exams were "fake" and when the topic of the exam came up I was quick to point this out. His comment surprised me, and, in a sense, demonstrated to me that saying a polygraph is "fake" is akin to saying WWE wrestling is "fake". Of course it is, but that is a misunderstanding that what you're watching is a real performance.

He said the polygraph itself is just a tool for the interviewer. The real value was in someone who knew how to use the machine to convince the subject that they knew the truth. He continue that in his time he knew some mighty good interviewers who could easily extract anything they needed from you.

My father did go the clearance route, and when I asked him about the polygraph he told me he confessed things to the interviewers he would never have told my mother. "Fake" or "real" the polygraph does work in this sense.
Matt Levine put this as a great idea for a lucrative job in his Bloomberg column (where hedge fund can be replaced with any company):

> Take a job at a hedge fund.

> Get handed an employment agreement on the first day that says “you agree not to disclose any of our secrets unless required by law.”

> Sign. Take the agreement home with you.

> Circle that sentence in red marker, write “$$$$$!!!!!” next to it and send it to the SEC.

> The SEC extracts a $10 million fine.

> They give you $3 million.

> You can keep your job! Why not; it’s illegal to retaliate against whistleblowers. Or, you know, get a new one and do it again.

I’ve had had SP4 i5 8gb ram version since 2017. It’s unreliable when running Windows, let alone Linux. It had constant touch screen issues which never fully went away even after replacing the screen. When I tried installing Linux I decided to switch back to Windows after a couple of months as both wifi and bluetooth had constant issues. The battery life is 2 or 3 hours at best even if you replace the battery with a new one. I’ll be replacing it with an M2 Macbook as that’ll be way more productive than to keep using this Surface.

One idea I had a while back is this: with all our modern technology in stem cell research, gene modification and cloning, shouldn't it be possible to recreate actual living clones from prehistoric dinosaur DNA? I mean, sure, these giant wild animals could potentially become dangerous, but how about we confine them to a remote island or so?!
By the term "media", I was referring to OP's potential usecase of Horizon, like their screenshots and screen recordings.

I think you're framing Horizon as potential photo backup, in which case, it is not designed nor meant for that.

His book, "Understanding Software Dynamics", is one of the best technical books I've ever read. Top 3 for me.
Thank you for crafting and sharing this.

You mention that the generated PDFs are "particularly suitable for AI-based RAG and QA tasks" - can you please share your preferred method/tools for that?
Thanks, this means a lot!
I had the pleasure to work with Dick on getting KUtrace to work on Android devices last year. It was a great experience to work with one of the greats in systems performance. He was a wealth of information regarding performance bottlenecks and optimizations.

KUtrace is absolutely one of the most powerful tools I've used for deeply understanding performance bottlenecks (after isolating issues) such as poor scheduling behavior. I would highly recommend reading his book "Understanding Software Dynamics" [1] if you are interested in learning more about KUtrace or performance bottlenecks/optimizations in general. The book is quite dense and dives deep into the performance characteristics of many examples of the five fundamental resources (according to Dick): CPU, Memory, Disk/SSD, Network, and Software critical sections.

I have swap, zram, and systemd-oomd enabled on my self managed kubernetes nodes. It helps dealing with JVM powered or memory leaking software at low cost.

I am not sure why you would disable those in many scenarios.
Culture shock!

Really shocking to see the trasformation of germany into a authoritarian despot state. Compact is the magazine of the normal right-wing movement and has nothing to do with racism or anti-Semitism. For those who don't know, "DW" is the German propaganda outlet and is financed directly from taxpayers' money. The current government ("Leftwing") has full control over what is published.
kernels or embedded development is rare compared to web dev, app dev, cli tooling, automation, etc.

In fact, it's pretty damn niche.

And rust is a general language, so it favors the most common case, but let the niche case be possible.

I think you can probably avoid unnecessary copies by using std::string_view where possible instead of std::string .
Cancer really sucks like that. A lot the treatments definitely keep you alive and even cure you but leave you with nasty side effects. Oncologists measure changes in Quality of Life (QoL). When you have some kpi that attempts to model something as subjective as your quality of life you know it's quite bad already.
Statecharts are highly useful to represent behaviour. Sequence diagrams do not capture it as much.

Timed behaviour, like timeouts can be represented in statecharts by having transitions on time based conditions. For example an event puts the system in a 'waiting' state, and in the waiting state there is a 30 second transition to a 'fail' state unless some other event happens which pulls the system out of the 'waiting' state.

Also it provides a good indication of what behaviour is valid and what not valid and what are don't cares.

External interactions of a system can be model as the state changes of a system.

They also have 'memory', special elements that remember which substate the system was in before it jumped out of the state last time.

I recommend David Harel's very interesting paper on modelling behaviour with state charts.

CL is a strong and often statically typed language; there are more expressive, even Haskell like implementations (https://coalton-lang.github.io/20211010-introducing-coalton/) with instant feedback, robust (old; underestimated how robust things get when some kid didn’t roll your npm yesterday). And yep, an expressive type system, like ts, is often turing complete so it can hang, but that’s not what I am talking about; trivial ts is incredibly slow even with type checking off; now non trivial ts is a joke. Why so many fans while no one can show even 1 example that is not slow?
I'm not sure I can think of any that aren't extremely application specific.

Perhaps a full editable embedded calendar? Maybe marquee and blink?

Maybe a card and toolbar element? Or fake glowing LED indicators?
I didn't find any new ideas in this article, so I think the title is a bit misleading.

Many things mentioned in the article are already implemented by various companies during their interview process.
Interesting. Let's do the math ...

Let's say the model has 50B parameters and 50 layers. That would mean about one billion values have to travel through the wifi for every generated token?

I wonder how much data that is in bytes and how long it takes to transfer them.
For linux, there is faketime, which will set a specific date and time for all child processes. This enables you to test software you don't even compile for time-based problems, e.g. logic around Feb 29th or daylight saving time.
I never liked the Surface series that much. It looks very nice, until you actually start working with them. Then they feel like a weird tablet with slow Windows on it. You can optimize it a little, but not much. Quite expensive as well and sometimes support is horribly slow.

I gave my wife an old Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1. That thing works nice using it as a flipped tablet to watch Netflix, but here also the performance isn't great.

Maybe just don't expect that much from these weird computers pretending to be tablets.
That's how much a laptop costs me today.

Do you have sources in this happening somewhere other than the US in the developed word?

And I'd say such transparency is needed all around the world. Developing nations can fall in the same traps developed ones did.

Yeah, polygraphs remind me of those TV shows where the investigator pretends to use magic, voodoo, astral signs, etc. to solve the crime, but is really just using them to manipulate the psychology of the subject and see their reaction.

Put simply, the polygraph is a powerful tool if the subject believes it is a powerful tool.

People are now taking TKI inhibitors as first line treatments. It doesn't really cure you, but given long term stable disease, you could end up with late stage cancer patients who don't need chemo for years.

Its very little,very late, the main problem really is the we can do "anything" without a plan, just feeling good solves the problem attitude of that generation:
" We can marry a bear from the zoo, yes we can, yes we do." And that pipi longstocking cando mentality is all there is ans it worked to long to well.
Its opposition silence by maoist screaming. Thats the whole plan.

Retarded critters wondering why after years of screaming down critics physics still apply to them. Unacustomed to democratic discourse and arguing for all those years they held the majority. Meanwhile the enforced silence festered into the AFD nightmare.
Idk how it works where you are, but blood tests I've done in France require your phone number or email address for a notification and MFA when logging into the blood testing laboratory's platform to get your results.

The National ID I'd presume is to put the test results in the relevant healthcare systems so that your doctors (and only them) can have access to them.
Hi, i can relate to that due to my adhd related poor executive function, and lack of proper internal structuralisation (both organisational and time or task related)

Have you checked if you have adhd? In any case, it is always a good idea to get a professional help from both a psychologist and a psychiatrist if you can.

On the other hand, i recently start practicing tai-chi, it helps you to center and ground yourself, might not seem like a direct solution to those problems but definetely helps to have a centered and grounded psychological base to look around and yourself. (And i believe complex nature of the moves trains executive functioning)

Yeah, I almost stopped reading the article after that phrase. If I had to pick a decade with the greatest advances in personal computing, I would pick the 80s! The first personal/home computers appeared in the 70s, but they were mostly for hobbyists, even sold as PCBs like the Apple I. The 80s began with the first home computers being available in larger numbers (C64, Atari 800, Apple ][, Sinclair Spectrum etc.), continued with the more powerful 16-bit machines (Apple Mac, Amiga, Atari ST) and ended (sadly, I think) with IBM PC clones becoming cheap enough to wipe out almost all of these (except the Mac, which survived just barely).
I don't think a racist ever thought about themselves as racists.

Racism is usually a notion of people having an explanation for why they behave towards another race.

There are always explanations. I don't think there is any racist that doesn't have an explanation.

For American slavery it was that "African Americans" are just animals, not human. So it made sense to use/teat them like donkeys or vermin.

In Nazi Germany, the explanation was that Jews are veramin and so veramin needs to be exterminated.

In South Africa it was a "scientific" theory they had called Holism [0] which basically described that everything should be kept in its place hence apartheid policies.

In Gaza the explanation is religious i.e God have us land X, and this we need to cleanse the land of it's "invaders".

Also, look at caste systems in India. They have explanations of why they do that. They don't see themselves as racist.

The explanations still occur today using "statistics", "data", & "science" with stuff like IQ "research" & "race realism".

"Racist" is something we project on people.

But racists always think they actually have a Nobel or logical cause for thier activities.

It's not, it follows the upstream releases and has a couple of patches for the Surface drivers (e.g: SAM) that will hopefully be upstreamed one day. They have something like ~50 commits on top of the release tag [1].

The main developer is doing an amazing job, and the fact that Linux runs on so many Surfaces devices, including the ARM ones (like my SPX) is just amazing.

Linaro (Bjorn Andersson) helped quite a lot in the Linux on ARM environment, and qzed (Maximilian Luz) is doing all of the Surface reverse engineering and kernel driver in their own free time.

Sorry, I had to downvote you because this is just disrespectful on the amount of work awesome people are doing on their free time, and you clearly have no clue on what the linux-surface project is about.

But it's not about the regime, it's about calculators.
That’s what I gave my firewall, all out traffic is default deny, then as the screaming began, I started opening the necessary ports to designated IPs here and there. Now the screaming is not so frequent. A minor hassle… the tricky one is the DNS over HTTPS… that is a whack-a-mole if I ever saw one.
This honestly comes as a shock. The current government has been eroding rights of its citizens like a clockwork. But this blatant ban on a magazine you were yesterday still able to buy at any store is just brazen. In theory Germany has freedom of press anchored in its constitution (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gg/art_5.html). This ban uses a trick from the "Vereinsgesetz" - a law that governments the corporate form this magazine uses. The law says that they can be banned if they're "against the constitutional order" (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/vereinsg/__3.html). Something that is easily produced as the institution in charge of that (the Verfassungsschutz) is under total control of the current government.

This will certainly end up in a court of law, but with the increasing pressure on government-critical media is scary. There are still a few neutral websites left that aren't blocked (multiple foreign websites are blocked in Germany) or banned but we'll see for how long. There is about a year left before the next German general election and it can only be assumed that this powergrab will continue until then.
Good idea, like a park of something? The most difficult part would be naming it. You could go for something like Cretaceus Park, but it doesn't sound too good.
One reason I don't use tablet is that they all have glossy screens.

And the new iPad with matte screen has a glossy frame around it. I tried it in a store and the glare around the otherwise nicely matte screen was uncomfortable.

Does anyone here have experience how well matte screen protectors for tablets work? I see them mostly discussed for they haptic feel when drawing on the tablet. I wonder how well they work to have a good experience when coding on the tablet.
I'm unclear why extracting zero information about someone is invasive?

For the record, while I think differential privacy is a really cool idea, I also fully support users having the choice to participate or not.

I just don't understand why you see it as invasive, given nothing about you is revealed.
Of course. Correlation doesn’t mean causation. If you give someone money, by default, they are less poor. That’s just a fact. But try scaling it up to an entire population, and it doesn’t work… unless, of course, you attach conditions.

I'm going through something similar. I think you need to try doing less, try to reset. Someone said "Think big, start small", this might help you.
