>It's also (very roughly) 1.3 million kwh per year extra for rust and cpp developers to use those slower compilers once a month, relative to faster alternatives.

What do you mean by "faster alternatives"? There is only one Rust compiler, and all the C++ compilers are about equally fast. Do you mean languages that compile faster? Do you really think most projects can just be made in one language or another and it doesn't matter?

>A few core maintainers have the power to fix that and have chosen not to.

Nobody chooses to make inefficient software. First, there's only so many man-months in the month. Second, compilers are constantly evolving creatures. Optimizations, generally speaking, make software more difficult to maintain. What would you rather? A somewhat slow compiler that can optimize your code really well, or a compiler that runs really fast, but can only compile the language version from ten years ago and generates slow binaries because the maintainers can't work around the optimization redesign from fifteen years ago?

>And maybe that's fine. But it's a real cost, quite large relative to the other impact those individuals might have, and it's worth acknowledging rather than dismissing.

I think you're underestimating how complex modern compilers are. If people are dismissing your concerns it's because they understand that the price they pay for efficient programs is slow compilers.
That this renders smoothly on mobile is quite impressive. Congratulations on a fine job.
I developed sleep apnea from poor posture and was able to fix it by correcting my posture. Developing a hunch or anterior pelvic tilt is especially a risk for desk workers and makes breathing harder, a little bit of yoga or posture correction exercises can save you a lot of trouble.
I learned abt sleep apnea from HN a couple of years ago. Treatment has made a noticeable improvement to my quality of life. I went the surgical route (EASE, MMA, pharyngoplasty) and while it's not made me 100% (one of the surgeons was a butcher), I was able to work and drive again.
Yeah I'd say the misinformation about the original crime's perpetrator was the main cause for all these issues. There were already a lot of worries about immigrants and asylum seekers, which had been weaponised by a far right wing media and online fake news sources, and the association of the recent attack with someone from that group just lit the spark that set it all off.

Could drugs have had an effect here? Maybe, but I suspect the same issues would have occurred regardless due to deep seated issues with extremism and misinformation in society.
> Not particularly, the difficulty here is that some clients want text input, and some clients really do want key events

I understand this point. For this case it makes sense to send both key code (what character does the key map in Latin layout) and translated code (which characters will be printed when key is pressed in current layout). It seems an easier solution than broadcast large structures to every client and let them have each own implementation for translating codes.

Regarding IME, I meant not integrating IME client into a Wayland server but instead unify the API and events that IME uses to insert text with API and events used to notify about regular keypresses.
Sounds like a great way to build black body emission sources.

Just panel the interior of a box with this stuff and put a hole in one wall.

It does depend on the spectral properties a lot. Figure 3 in https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adsu.202400184 seems to indicate that the behavior in the very near infrared will be pretty good. It stands to reason that this behavior could be optimized by process improvements.

I look at my electronic parts collection like a chef looks at their spice rack.

But I'm often a victim of laziness - I just bought some more transistors because I couldn't find the transistors of the same kind that I know I have somewhere. It's easier to just buy some more parts on Amazon and have them delivered tomorrow than it would be to search every single place the parts I know I have could be. As a result, I have too many electronic parts. I'll probably donate some of it to a local high school eventually.
Protected mode: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_mode>

Protected rings: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring>

The latter pre-dates the i386 (Multics offered security rings in the 1960), but the i386 was the first popular, cheap, personal computer chip, and the first in the Intel line (8008, 8086, x86) line to offer a protected mode / ring-based hardware security model.
Cathedral-style development doesn't necessarily mean closed-source, but instead reflects the less-modular nature of Wayland in relation to x11. There aren't multiple desktops that are all using the same display server; instead each desktop implements it themselves around a common spec. Plug-and-play software has fewer and more restrictive interfaces to rely on. Modern desktop Linux is decidedly pared-back, which is a good thing when you consider how scarily open Linux is in the right hands.

"sole advantage" isn't correct either - there's a plethora of reasons to use Linux. In the enterprise, people pay companies money to keep their Linux away from bazaar-level patches and randomly packaged repos. More casually, a lot of people don't use desktop Linux for a particularly advanced purpose and just treat it like a Mac/Windows/Chrome machine with fewer advertisements. Some people do very much get a lot of value out of the bazaar-side of Linux, but the comparison between the two styles wouldn't exist at all if Linux didn't entertain both philosophies.
> X11 has XkbMapNotify/XkbStateNotify.

Yes, it seems I missed XkbStateNotify and XkbLockGroup that can be used to switch layouts (which X11 calls "groups").
I recommend not listening to most of the suggestions here that say build out some stack -- that will be a distraction and a lot of time to spend before even getting your first customer. The most likely outcome of any startup/project is that it will get ignored and you won't have any customers, so don't spend a ton of effort building out custom user/payment stuff.

Since you already have a WordPress site, add WooCommerce (https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/). It's a general-purpose eCommerce solution and has product pages, user registration and login, accept payments, etc. The one bit it doesn't do out of the box is recurring monthly paid subscriptions, for which you'll need the WooCommerce Subscriptions add-on. If your thing takes off, either this will all be "good enough", or it'll make sense to build out something custom.

I agree if you are running kubernetes yourself you are absolutely right. I was thinking more about managed clusters in the cloud. Every provider offers managed kubernetes, then you aren't even vendor locked.

family sizes used to be much larger so evolution was not necessarily predicated on having every child survive, just an average of more than 2.1.
I'd very much like a license like the LGPL that didn't require releasing object files. Just "if you modify any of the source files and/or scripts, you must provide those modifications under this license". I want something that isn't just donating code to for-profit corporations, that is easy to comply with (only release modifications to the code, no risk of covering code that depends on it, no need to release non-code files), and preserves this for other end-users of the software. A sort of LGPL-like license.

I also want an AGPL-ish version of that. If I release a library, I don't need the source to your application that uses it, but I want to get access to modifications you may have made even if you're only using it in a cloud-computing service. I want an ALGPL!
C# is great, likely the best mainstream programming language nowadays, but its in the hands of microsoft and microsoft didn't really care much about building a community or getting it to work natively in other OSes/toolchains.

Its a shame, they even had a second change when Oracle bought sun and no one knew what was going to happen with Java, but fumbled that as well.

I think that the description fits what a data scientist usually does. LLM knowledge could be considered as part of the stack.
A bit of a shame about the exploit applying to THUG PRO. The mod is played to this day, since the more competitive side of the Tony Hawk franchise has been dead for almost twenty years (with the exception of the THPS1+2 remake, which was but a blip in the scene).

The mod itself is over 10 years old now, and I think the original developers are gone, explaining why no one was interested in fixing it when Ryan reported it. But this means that now the mod is unusable, no one is going to want to risk a full privilege exploit taking over their PC.

Hopefully this article reaches someone who's a bit more interested in patching the mod.
Learning the basics of designing the gradation of sand and gravel filters is Soil Mechanics 1 (think 2nd year university). The massive reports are because of massive problems caused by poorly functioning or failed filters, but the basic premise of much of these videos is "give the first lesson in some subject without any math and actually try to explain things instead of typical engineering prof standards".

If you google "Gradation Design of Sand and Gravel Filters" you'll find Chapter 26 of the USDA's national engineering handbook, which will give the basics of how its done with some simple examples.

This is baby engineer type stuff, for the most part. If you're designing for big structures or complicated situations it becomes a much more complicated exercise.
The recent meme of the unequipped Turkish Olympic shooter comes to mind. The other competitors in the shooting event had expensive specialized gear. The Turkish guy had no gear and he got silver.

>Reflecting on his viral moment, [the shooter guy] said, "People sometimes say, 'It's so easy, you won a medal with your hands in your pockets.' But there's 24 years of work and effort behind that medal. I train six days a week for 4-5 hours a day. I wish it was gold, but we still achieved a lot."
Of course. That's my favorite thing about my (not-MS) advisor too: when we talk, she never fails to mention (multiple times) that I can lose everything I invest, with no recurse.
They take the commission regardless I won or lose, their job couldn't be more secure. They couldn't care less what happens with my money, once they have a part of it in their pockets.
This looks awesome, getting started with AI development is daunting and I really like how this focuses on integrating with a bunch of open source frameworks and then deploying them into your own cloud (I always prefer to run the infrastructure, it feels weird to rely on something that's a complete black box).

The sandbox environment with free GPU hours is a cool way to try things out without a big commitment too. It's nice seeing a product that genuinely seems to address the practical challenges of AI deployment. Looking forward to seeing how the platform develops!
I am currently working on a serverless solution that covers everything you mentioned above and is a direct alternative and upgrade to WordPress.

It's built with full-stack Next.js, and the frontend is the backend, and the backend is the frontend; it's all the same. React server components have eliminated the need to separate the frontend from the backend into separate domains, and the frontend essentially securely talks directly to the database which eliminates extra network round trips and vulnerable backend API routes.

Built with Next.js, Postgres, TipTap, Tailwind, and Auth.js.

Compatible with Vercel, Neon, Supabase, Firebase, Cloudflare R2, etc.

What do you think? Is this a solution you might consider over your current WordPress domain?

In the midst of a past crisis, one thing that struck me most was how dinner simply showed up on the back door, in a pan, with heating instructions.

The neighbours had taken it on themselves to arrange for who was going to cook, what, and when.

We had absolutely nothing to think about in the process.

It was one of those really simple, but immensely touching, gestures.

There's a bit more context to it than that, but this was really the heart of it.
The most consistent trait of common wisdom is that it's uncommon.

How Intel spurned OpenAI and fell behind the times
Not from random strangers soliciting it. The chance that they are going to scam you is much too high to trust anything they offer.
I’d like to see watches get bigger and phones get smaller. Phones should be the Managed Switch of your personal area network.

Right now my phone and watch are fighting over this role and I have to keep fiddling with things like Bluetooth connections because of it. I can’t carry my phone when I’m out training. It’s just too big. But my Apple watch struggles wi5 battery capacity. Some days I’m charging my watch twice. If I had a candy bar phone I wouldn’t have tho juggle.
This is absolutely true. I think half of the home renovation projects I've done in my life have been to either move water, or repair the damage from where water ended up where it shouldn't be. These are never the fun projects, but in terms of protecting your property, probably the most important ones.
Seems pretty vague. Something to do with half self-hosting open source LLMs with a proprietary docker-like template thing.

Am I on the right track?
>Such machines just run a single app that comes from the factory, and aren't use for general computing.

And those machines are always running a purpose built program made by the lowest bidder and have TRIVIAL flaws to exploit.

The malware got in the same way malware got into Windows 2000 back in the day: the code exposed to the network is trash and is full of holes you can drive a truck through.
Yeah, it's not a consumer win, more a strategically good decision for google. Pichai seems to not do that at all these days.
At first glance your comment looks low-effort and flippant, but it's really the crux of the matter.

Our economy only works if people buy things. Especially things they don't need. Advertising is only getting more and more pervasive and intrusive, and our purchasing habits are tracked, cataloged, and categorized in order to better market things to us.

Great article. It really drives home what a damn shame Intel's persistent mishandling of AVX512 has been ever since its introduction. I don't even know if it has a future outside of extremely niche libraries given how scattered hardware support for it is on Intel's side.

On a completely different topic: I wasn't expecting the redacted portion of the article due to AMD's embargo to take away too much of the article but the first half (up until the discussion about AVX512) would clearly be much more interesting with the censored out parts. I guess someone will have to resubmit this come August 14th!

React.useState for 3 years, before finding the limits
Hi everyone ,

Wrote a short article about my state management journey in React. The tl;dr; is 10 years of react, I decided to keep things simple and only `useState` and basic react hooks.

For the last 3 years, I've been using basic react hooks and it was more than enough. Until, I tried to build a more complex UI and finally needed a bit more.

Endedup using Zustand to help manage the state and avoid stale inter-connected state.

Hope it helps someone out there

How did you monitor your apnea before and after your posture correction? And how does one's standing posture affect breathing when lying horizontally -- is it a matter of breathing muscle strength?
Very highly recommended. The Cray was very cool. Had to explain why there was a wire 11.8" long framed. ( Thank you Rt Gen Grace Hopper! ) I walked through twice without a greybeard, and then when I went with a guide... I started smirking when ever he made a mistake... He finally started asking 'Do you have anything to add?' and I only make a few small corrections, until we saw the wire. 11.8". I would think that the Cray would be designed to keep the wires under 3' 11.21" ( 4 nano seconds ) There are PICTURES! https://www.flickr.com/photos/carrierdetect/3599257794/in/ph...

Those are all great ideas, but to the average voter you might as well be saying we should outlaw apple pie. Political will behind reforms like this is very hard to find and always in danger of being voted out by angry drivers.
California is an example, but I’m unclear about other states. Honestly, I’m unclear across the board because there are a lot of employee made purchases that are conditions of employment (phone, computer), and it could be argued that this purchase is a similar necessity especially if it’ll be refunded.
Developers should become owners! It is much easier for a developer to learn the business side of startups than it is for a business founder to learn how to code. Not only will learning the business side allow developers to become founders, it will improve their development decision making, allowing them to communicate better with customers and the rest of the company about priorities and strategic decisions. Once you know how to talk the language, it becomes easier to convince people that technical factors are important to strategic decisions. Even if you don't become an owner, learning the business side of business will allow you to play a larger role in the decision making.

It’s really not a good sales message. People love their phones. Replacing it with something that’s kinda like a phone but more finicky because it’s trying to not be a phone is pointless, and for those who do want to untether from their phones for part of the day but still have some functional coverage from another device, an Apple Watch can fulfill that just fine.

Personally I think the bodycam form factor is interesting for a new tertiary device category, but if there is a marketable product there, it’s not a replacement for your phone.
This sounds implausible, since "good posture" doesn't really have a definition. Is there any data on this beyond anecdote? How do you know your posture was the only possibile explanation for onset and resolution of symptoms?
I wish I had the time, because it would be fun. Back when I DID have time, I actually got that thug1 source code almost playable on Windows. That source code was only for the console versions, and the code assumed if it was compiling for windows (and not Xbox windows..) it was only for tools, so a lot of pieces worked completely differently.

I'm gonna say it, paywalled content on Reddit isn't necessarily the end of the website, depending on how exactly it's implemented and who chooses what's paywalled.

If it's the community choosing, then that's not really that much of an issue, since we've had paid member only forums and chat rooms since the dawn of the internet. Having the ability to set up a subreddit for paying users could have its use cases, though I'm sure we'd still see plenty of angry users and community schisms due to greedy mods trying to paywall off existing ones.

If it's Reddit themselves choosing (like, they decide all NSFW subreddits are paywalled, or they arbitrarily start locking popular ones like politics or games or television behind a paywall), then we'll see Reddit activity crash through the floor, and people start mass migrating away from the site.
Not sure I would describe it that way exactly, :). The templates are to get your started. Release itself takes docker compose, docker files, helm, terraform, etc and gives you a way to organize them and a workflow engine to deploy, update and remove every part of the environment. All of the functionality works with the AI templates.

The templates are a good place to start and with our concept of workspaces, you an easily attach data sources and do development with common ai tools and frameworks.

A lot of our customers and others we have talked to don't even know where to start with AI, including RAG. Our templates, infra management and workflow engine make it easy to spin up multiple environments, with varying configs for testing all the way to production.

While a lot of companies are getting into the RAG framework or Fine Tuning framework business, by releasing open source project, it is still very difficult to tie it all together.

Both nvidia and Docker have lamented about this issue to us and this is our attempt to make some of these frameworks easier to use.
great post! very helpful.
The rendering looks blurry on my display. It looks like the devicePixelRatio is not taken into account.
