This has to be one of the stranges political segway rants I've seen on this site and that's saying something.

We can't ban billboards on Bahnhofstrasse and rest of the city just because you've seen some graffiti supporting Palestine? What?
Well most of the world depends on the US and I don't find them to take a better care than us of their own internal problems.
> GPUs are Turing complete computers.
> what's missing from existing GPU languages that prevents this kind of flexibility?

GPUs contain many Turing complete computers that are orchestrated by a non-Turing complete fixed function logic block which interprets your command buffers (as opposed to shader code). That component is different in every architecture.

The work graphs are about creating a scheduling system for the fixed function component.

You can't effectively do this in shaders only.

Unreal Engine's "Nanite" system uses something like a work graph in a shader. It is full of pitfalls and gotchas to make it work but you can read about it in the white paper.

The core issue here is that without workgraphs, each compute shader needs to write out its results to DRAM and finish all work it is doing. Then another compute shader is dispatched and it reads back all the results from DRAM.

With work graphs you can make a producer/consumer type of setup where a compute shader's outputs are fed as input to another compute shader without going through DRAM. It also removes the need to know how much output the producer produces ahead of time, no need to preallocate a buffer for the intermediate results.

DRAM bandwidth is typically the bottleneck in modern graphics so this makes sense.
Not against setting aside Biden's timid policy on this, but what does this have to do with the trains?

The article doesn't seem to mention who is responsible, even though some of the attempts were foiled.
Nope. Previous generation didn't care? Thats properly insulting to whole generation, maybe its your situation and I am sorry in such case, but please stop making such wrong accusations.

Death was around, from time to time some kid would die - hit by car, fell down something, got sick etc. If anything parents were more resistant to suffering, just sucked it up and moved, they didn't have this 'every life is precious' attitude. They also didn't know that well to talk about their emotions or even process them effectively, so just bottled them up and continued.

Its up to each of us to create for our kids environments we want them to raise in. You are a control freak or helicopter parent? Well there will be consequences. You run in cca full trust mode with your kids and just manage things like healthy food, tons of physical activities, a lot of time spent in wild nature and let them figure the rest? They can have it too, but some trust into them not killing themselves is required. You don't like the place you live in? Change it if you can or leave it otherwise, world is big and plenty of good places to spend rest of your life in.
When travelling through Poland then the contrast of visual pollution by billboards and other advertisements has been very big, between for example Estonia, Latvia, the nordic countries and Poland.

In Poland basically everything is covered in huge adveretisements, "Kantor" here and there, car repair shops, etc. On bus stops all the walls are covered in them and there is even something on top of it, facing the road.

Drinving there is tiring, the brain just gets tired from it.

We think its part of slavic culture or something.
of course, but that's on the feature completeness axis not on the stability (robustness), right?

I mean on macOS the Settings are so spartan it can really fit on an unfolded napkin. for power/battery management you need something like Amphetamine.

You dispose of it where you bought it, or you don't open it until you get home, or you act like a good hiker who is out in the wilderness, and pack up your trash to bring home with you where you can properly dispose of it.

I always found it amazing that Japanese cities manage to stay so clean without public trash cans everywhere. It's a reminder that you have to solve the social and cultural problems first: if people think it's ok to throw trash on the ground, it doesn't matter how many public trash cans you have.
Russia-sponsored arson happened in Poland recently:

Ask HN: Good Portfolio Projects to Standout in ML Domain
Hi guys, I've been looking for a job for the role of a machine learning engineer, Unfortunately, I'm a fresher so I hope you understand the position I'm in.

At this point, I'm a little confused about what the recruiters expect from the [Fresher] candidates.

If you are a MLE or Data Scientist or a recruiter in this domain, what qualities do you look for?

[Question is specific on portfolio projects as current market values experience and I can't show it yet so a good project can be my good option]

also if you have any other thoughts that might help, please share..

Really cool. Two suggestions to think about:

1. add a small button in the window title bar to pick a custom title or background color (from a predefined list of 16 or so colors). The color should be remembered somehow. With many windows open it would help quick orientation.

2. an ability to quickly load/save the current layout. When I work on feature A I want to see these windows, ... When you load a layout you could either fully replace the current one or add to it.
Can you provide a single study where people living in cities that reduced car dependency were "unhappy"?

Every single survey I've seen across Netherlands, Slovenia, Switzerland and Germany showed big support AFTER the changes were made (but a lot of hand wringing like yours BEFORE they were made).

The people that are usually unhappy are the ones that want to drag their SUVs in front of people living in city apartments and leave them there.
Yet, for any given distribution the sample size can be arbitrarily close to infinite. Unless I've missed something, I don't see the relevance.

If you want the n-9s rate of failure (eg., n=5, 99.999) for a system with a power-law performance distribution, you could be waiting much more than a billion samples to see a failure.

eg., 3E10 ms (30 bn samples) in a year, at 5-9s failure rate has 3E3 ms of failure (3 thousand samples) -- which will be lower given a sampling strategy.

Sure, but US has almost doubled its production since the early 2000s while consumption has actually slightly decreased. So I'd question the need to maintain a very large reserve anymore. IMHO these days using it as an "economic tool" to balance supply/demand would make a lot more.

Alternatively, you can view it as a OSI layer 1 attack.

A bunch of optic fibers have been cut, but the network was badly designed without redundancy (as evidenced by the current denial of service).

Strategic points (the attacks occurred at junctions of several axis) were left insufficiently guarded.

The location of these points also shouldn't have been made available to bad actors.

French people are not surprised because there are always problems with train when lots of people need them to go on holidays. Usually at this time of the year it's getting hot, and it's one or more electrical transformer that gets burned by high heats. When copper price get high, cables are usually stolen to be sold as metal. And there are also strikes.

There is an economic balance to be found between the cost of securing and maintaining the infrastructure vs fixing the problems once they occur. Probably can be better, but others probably have it much worse.
Not at all what they announced according to the linked article. It's quite literally the opposite really, do you read French or did you Google translate? 'action de masse' roughly mean assembling somewhere to disrupt anything with a mass of people, to many to get arrested. If they wanted to stop a train, they would have invaded a train station (or multiple ones).

It isn't. It's the same, or worse, in Romania.

It's just rabid unregulated capitalism of the post communist countries, gone wild, where everything is about making as much money as possible any way you can, which means advertising everywhere so you can influence people to spend their money with you. Romania is now IRL what the internet looks like without ad block.

The ads for gambling and betting are the most nefarious, to the point it's becoming a societal issue.
> Take the damn kiddy gloves off and let Ukraine use your weapons as they see fit.

Ukraine already conducts attacks on Russian forward operating bases in Crimea and Donbas. And, by the way, these aren’t carried out just by Ukraine. US drones and satellites are used to perform reconnaissance. French and UK military personnel are likely programming the Storm shadow missiles. Talking about SS, when was the last time those were used?

It’s not like the west has an unlimited stockpiles. The European NATO members are low on everything right now. What should US do? Supply Ukraine with Minutemen missiles?
All alternative products I have used so far have worse UI.

Slack is always laggy and does not even handle markdown well. Recently moved around buttons for huddles and people keep searching for where that button is. Also annoying, that pictures can only be attached to the end of a message, forcing me to reference with something like [1][2] and so on.

MS Teams: haha just joking. Of course it cannot even be considered close to an alternative!

Discord: Was good some time ago, becomes ever more bloated and heavy now.

Element: When I tried it some time ago, it was very unclear how threads actually work and they did not seem to have any visual separation from other messages, that simply came later in a channel. Basically messages know they belong to a thread, but visually you almost cannot see it. Not sure, if that is still the case.

Zulip is snappy and works well with markdown. I find it looks much cleaner than Slack and others.
There was no starting any private enterprise in USSR until Perestroika (1988ish). Best you could do is to suggest doing something to the government and if you knew the right people you could be allowed to, given some resources etc.

Think starting a project within a large company, except you can't quit and start on your own.

Of course. That falls under "understanding why the proof is a proof".

The original comment implied that parsing JSON was less efficient (either in terms of coding required, or the resulting CPU use) than parsing iCal.

While it is true that dealing with json by hand is going to be more work than just importing an iCal library, I'm comparing apples to apples and suggesting dealing with json "by hand" is no more faff than dealing with iCal "by hand", and that dealing with either via a good library equally gives no benefit to iCal.
It's not really economically viable to take a taxi to your night-shift warehouse job. That is around 70% of your daily wage going towards transportation.
I don't think the UK military has ever operated on the basis of "endlessly deep pockets" e.g. At one point the PM relied on using AA phone boxes and reverse charges calls to launch the V bombers:

Not at all. I just tripped over your black-and-white presentation of things, and thought it might be helpful to provide some counterbalance.
ecologists from our German neighbor closed the lowest-carbon energy available (nuclear) to open coal facilities. I wouldn't bet on the brains of the average european ecologist.

on a more serious note, even if train is low-carbon, this could be seen as an anti-olympics protest which ecologists claim is an ecological disaster.

Nowhere did I mention or apply mandates. “Framework” is not a work that means mandated.

There seems to be a lot of sour grapes that pro employee arrangements are inherently scammy. For no good reason. None of the ESOP companies were mandated!

Thee is a legal framework for those.

There is a legal framework for changing an S-corp to C-core

There is a legal framework for going public

There is a legal framework for declaring bancruptcy

They have NOTHING to do with mandates.

Frameworks are developed over time to handle complex and not always obvious issues in a rational way.

The benefit of a legal framework is its accumulated wisdom developed by law and courts. And the fact that it becomes a recognizable thing for all parties to consider, and makes that path easier to take if that is the decision.

But any transition would (by any reasonable process) be at the agreement of current shareholders. So issues of compensation, and other issues should be dealt with sensibly.

The most sensible way for this to be an easier option, that works out well, is to develop a well thought out framework.

—-

Open source is a very valuable recognized legal framework. Between evolved OS licenses, supportive court cases and the general law, we are better for this framework.

It makes it easy for small actors to take advantage of that approach to publishing software with little legal risk (if they handle known issues, such as not including non-OS work, etc.)

Nobody is forced to be open source.

Arson attacks hit France's train network hours before Olympic ceremony
Intel DDoS my website with 11.1M request
Last night at 5:30 PM and this morning at 10:45 AM, both in UTC+2 , my website was hit by massive DDoS attacks from two Intel IP addresses.

The peaks were 3.8M and 11.1M requests per second, respectively.

146.152.233.45: ASN 4983 - INTEL-SC-AS
146.152.233.53: ASN 4983 - INTEL-SC-AS

I would say that it is crucial to consider the possibility that their network might have been compromised, or that an employee might be involved in unauthorized activities.

Timing is a big deal here the day after USSR dissolved likely would have gotten them to leave. Our nukes is an arbitrary viewpoint, it’s not like the USSR limited nuke production to inside Russia.

> The results vary between annoying (need to restore / “resilver” and have no redundancy until it’s done; massively increased risk of data loss while doing so due to heavy IO load without redundancy and pointless loss of the redundancy that already exists) to catastrophic (outright corruption).

I'm not sure what you expect?

RAID1 is a simple data copy, you made sure to make both disks contain different data. So there's two outcomes possible: either the system notices this and copies A to B or B to A to reestablish the redundancy, or it fails to notice and you get corruption.

Linux MD allows for partial sync with the bitmap. If the system knows something in the first 5% of the disk changed, it can limit itself to only syncing that 5%.

> Yet most competent active-active database systems have no problems with this scenario!

Because they're not RAID. The whole point of RAID is that it's extremely simple. This means it's a brute force method with some downsides, but in exchange it's extremely easy to reason about.
Hit deeper. Attack civil infrastructure. Do everything the Russians do short of bombing children’s hospitals.
