I had to look this up because I hadn’t heard Google dropped support for Flutter or Dart. From the article you shared, they laid off staff for Flutter and Dart but they did not cut support outright.
This headline is deeply misleading, it's the author's prediction rather than an actual announcement.
Well they're specifying the AMD EPYC and one of the things that the server line of AMD CPUs do that the consumer grade ones don't, is they have lots of connectivity. So for example an AMD EPYC 8324P is a 32 core CPU with 96 lanes of PCI Gen 5. Given that the 4090 GPU is PCI Gen 4, I think that's where you get the discrepancy. The 6 GPUS are connected in parallel to the CPU with 6 x16 connections (96 total lanes), the CPU could do this at Gen 5 (64GBs for each GPU) but the 4090 GPU is Gen4 only, so you'll only actually get 32GBps per connection.

- some people cannot think abstractly about speech, because it is skewed because of actions of Elon Musk, or Zuckerberg, or other individuals

- it is certain that governments want to control the narrative, and it is not always done in our interests

- sometime actions are done to help us, but [disinformation enters the room]

- Everything at CEO level is "political"

- centralization of social media and forums allowed for this behavior. It would be impossible to "control" the Internet with federated Internet

- various powers fight over the Internet (governments, China, Russia, corporations, billionaires etc.). This is why it difficult to tell what is the truth, everyone tries to shift our perception

- YouTube removed thumbs down not to protect small creators. Moderation on social media is also not to protect ordinary people, but to retain clean image, or to keep investors happy

- sometimes when social media removes post is censorship. Sometimes it is not, but both scenarios occur

- some people that complain about free speech might be influenced by foreign powers

- some people that say moderation is required want just more control over social media for their own benefit, agenda

- I do not know if there is a clean, ethical way to "run the social media"

not true. there is also the gesamtschule which delays the decision to make the abitur until you are in 10th grade.

40% of students in germany qualify for university (and another 10% for fachhochschule). that is much higher than the university admission rates in the US.

I hate to keep going into this but the legitimacy of the existence of Israel is not just a matter of "it has a right to exist" or "it should be destroyed". I think there's a lot of intermediary things to be said and reasoned about. For example, in its current form the way that the state of Israel is behaving is very similar to what got other countries and their leaders as defendants in the court of human rights.
Could you have some serious sources about Google dropping support for Flutter and Dart?

I mean, words have meanings. It's not because Google laid off part of the teams that worked on those technologies that it means that they dropped support of them.
oh really, didn't know that. Me neither. That course was open-sourced.
If you google "vi release date", you actually get the release of a certain League of Legends character (I think), which was introduced in 2012.

Not sure if this is a llm or just lazy research.
A simple code-helper/writer for Pocketbase
Hi I have written a tiny utility that was developed first for inhouse purposes. Then I thought it could be useful to others too.

Pocket Specs is a simple code-helper for Pocketbase and also a "software requirement specifications" system. You describe the overall parts of a Pocketbase SaaS application and it will help you quickly write code for it (for the server side GoJa code). It will assemble your logic together and add all the missing parts during the build process. It also serves as a simple SRS (Software Requirement Specification) system.

It is not an open source project because the compiler I use is not available at all (I am old time user of that compiler)

I am new to Github; and frankly even Pocketbase. Though I do use the latter extensively, I don't think I have a full understanding. I am not a conventional software developer as my main work is in architecture (of the building variety) but I do write lot of software. So your feedback is appreciated.

See https://github.com/square-foot/pocketspecs

(The compiler I used is Visual Prolog 5.2; which is no longer available. So I have not open-sourced it...I have given the executable)

Thank you very much

I suppose it’s just to clarify that those choices are deliberate, with the trade-offs in mind.

It was even here in HN a community of pretty normal people. Remember the discussions of Sweden’s approach to lockdowns? Any mention of it and you were shouted down and blood was surely going to run in the streets of Sweden by dawn the next day. I lost a lot of faith in the HN community then.

The pandemic and the compliance and the us vs. them mentality really opened by eyes. It’s how terrible things happen, people will just do what their told by some perceived authority no matter what.
Is there really any difference between the entities people encounter during a trip and the entities that populate our dreams? Most people don't entertain the idea that their dreams are real experiences. And often in a dream I will be thinking about some idea that seems very profound and important but on waking if I can remember what that idea was it is always absolute nonsense. I suspect it is the same with psychedelic trips.
I can’t edit my message, but I agree with you.

Wait, has Google really dropped support for Flutter and Dart? Or were there "just" some layoffs?
>mostly ignoring backwards compatibility

>MS, by contrast, seems to have long been a company that more closely resembled an organized crime syndicate

I think we all need to give more credit to Microsoft for being the only one who cares about backwards compatibility, and to an insane extent at that.

We take for granted the sheer convenience of running something written 30+ years ago today almost seamlessly.

Sure, but that sounds like an awful business strategy. I would imagine people who have been burned by google dropping support being less likely to use new google products in the future
Similar thing happened with Stadia. The team was posting that everything is fine mere hours before Google announced it's killing Stadia.

It’s weird how non-specific the CPU is there. Why wouldn’t they list a CPU part number? We don’t even know what generation of Epyc it is. (I get that it’s not the focus… but it is still important.)
I have a love/hate relationship with it as well; I cannot find anything better from a usage perspective; the rest is either or all of; slow, lacking in features, stability on sketchy/slow internet (try driving around while talking on, for instance, Slack and Telegram; Telegram will chug along even on trickle, Slack will just have annoying banners say NO SIGNAL and even though it's back already, it still hangs for way too long), not having the people I want on it and more. But yes, for the simple reason of no default e2e, I use multiple chat apps, but Telegram is simply the most comfortable; if it had proper (by default) e2e for everything, I would 'live' in it. I don't mind (I find it better) to store a key somewhere like Threema and Element, but these things are unusable UX wise (and very slow...). Then whatsapp with it's restrictions bound to your mobile and unencrypted backups anyway is not good and as well, it's just worse.

Has anybody made an attempt at making a library like this, but with cross platform user input, and support for accessibility? From personal experience, if you can output triangles and text, writing a UI library like this is maybe 2-3 days of work. The fun starts when you consider that younger people are touch-first.
Original author here. No, you don't need all of it; everything is optional (as stated in the article). It's just a boilerplate with some tools and conventions, so "using it" has little implications, I think. Other than that, I'm just trying to have fun out here :)
Sorry man, GMaps on mobile is from 2007
There is also a variant of 'system' which takes multiple agruments. It invokes the program in the first argument and passes the other arguments directly without going through shell so no globs etc. can take place. But this is not mentioned in the article but it is in Ruby docs

Yes, the technique is obviously predated by Ultima Online. The question we're trying to answer is specifically about the etymology of sharding in the database context.

8- an infographic explaining that paradoxically the shape the shape of a light wave can travel faster than the speed of light itself!

9- someone happy about ETH Zurich CS curriculum

10- someone reposting an image full, of text about being underpaid

It's not perfect, Macron and Musk have no place there, but it's not the MAGA bar you got.

So he says it's not because of tourism, but because of subsidies.

But then in the next section says it's because demand outstrips supply because of things like tourism.

What?

This is a piece of political writing targeted at the Japanese land use and subsidy policy. Nothing more.

So where can I buy the original Pixel, new, with warranty, and with the latest software? I can't, because new version have come out since, just like, for example, Google's chat applications have been "killed", but a new version has always been made
> But I find it wrong and dangerous to try to theorize that there is "something out there bigger than our brain".

Whether one believes in one thing or another is a personal value system and neither side should dominate.

But... why is it dangerous to try and theorize that there is something out there bigger than our brain?
The length of the Wikipedia article on this nonsensical conspiracy theory runs counter to your argument that it was "suppressed."

And then, what happens after that decision? How free are you to get the education you want after that? If you pick a path and then want something harder or better, say going into médecine in school. How hard is it going to be? And aren't 10th graders around like 14 years old?

Again, that's just as bad as paying for education. At least with money you can work or take a loan and chose the path you want even at age 20 or 25, you're not locked in by a choice that was made when you were a teenager. Yes, I know you also have to get good grades in the US or Canada, but at least here in Canada you can basically almost always go back to university, take a few perp courses and be eligible to apply even for medecine.
It's not deterministic output, neither in phrasing or meaning. So it is absolutely not a valid source. It can incidentally be correct, possibly even most of the time, but there's certainly no guarantee. Wikipedia at least references sources (that in turn can be scrutinized/falsified if questionable).

>Starting a Secret Chat takes one more tap than starting a normal chat.

Hmm, the article says this:

>As John Hopkins security researcher Matthew Green pointed out in his blog on the subject, it’s also a pain in the ass to activate. “The button that activates Telegram’s encryption feature is not visible from the main conversation pane, or from the home screen. To find it in the iOS app, I had to click at least four times—once to access the user’s profile, once to make a hidden menu pop up showing me the options, and a final time to ‘confirm’ that I wanted to use encryption. And even after this, I was not able to actually have an encrypted conversation, since Secret Chats only works if your conversation partner happens to be online when you do this,” Green said.
I had to use support for some purchases on the iTunes music store, and if I remember correctly, the support options offered on the homepage varied depending on which language I had set. I think the "write a message describing your problem" option for example was only available in English, and you had to play around a little with the possible options of categorising your problem to get it to appear.

But past that hurdle, at least my actual problems got resolved satisfactorily.

Q: It's said that the decline in rice consumption is serious, but if the amount produced increased and the price went down, people would eat more, wouldn't they?

A: Exactly. Rice acreage reduction is an absolutely terrible policy. The government spends over 300 billion yen (about $2.06 billion) in subsidies annually to decrease the amount of rice produced, thus going out of its way to raise the price and increasing the burden on consumers.
TLDR: the article points to a system of agricultural subsidy through quota limits, called "acreage reduction", similar to EU "set aside".

It seems a common phenomenon around the world that, because price instability for food leads to social instability, governments end up with elaborate systems of direct and indirect price control. In this case, farmers being paid not to grow rice.
Most EPYCs have 128 PCIe lanes, so I'd expect a full x16 link for all six GPUs.

Pedantically, the combined bidirectional bandwidth of PCIe x16 is ~64 GB/s, as it's a full-duplex ~32 GB/s link, but that's an awfully misleading spec if this is the intent (akin to claiming Gigabit Ethernet is 2 Gb/sec).
I think this may be a person who is concerned a out being tainted by a license. Life if the code was source-available only and they saw it and then were accused to copying some functionality into another open source project.

A bit paranoid, sure, but not impossible.

Google more than most other companies deserves being bashed at every opportunity but this is completely misleading. Your second link is a borderline delusional rambling. Product APIs going down is also far from a Google exclusive practice.
Yup, absolutely — you see a lot of the larger brokers do some genre of lease-to-own program (pay us the purchase price plus a near-usurious APY over 24mos and at the end, you can keep the domain.)

My margins are solid and there aren't a lot of competing opportunities to deploy capital besides pulling forward cloud costs or hiring folks (which is a very different value prop altogether), so reasoning about the lump sum was pretty easy, but you're definitely right in that objectively speaking I should have just gotten a line of credit and amortized it that way.

Biden predicted as well:

“Joe Biden acknowledged in 1997 that eastward NATO expansion into the Baltic states would cause “the greatest consternation,” which could “tip the balance” and result in a “vigorous and hostile reaction” by Russia.”

Using development tools is one thing.

Packing your basic web site with 50,000+ SLOC worth of run time dependencies is quite a different story. When you use a framework like react, or vue, or svelte, you're bringing in a massive dependency tree, and you're also changing the semantics of the application code from web standard code to framework specific code. Instead of being an expert on the standards, you have to become an expert in the framework. There are compromises being made either way.

I think that one important thing missing from this project is a templating engine of some kind. Questionable addition though, since you're then going to stop writing HTML and start writing whatever template language. And it's a greased path toward going with a framework.
Hmm do you mean you want to create multiple cells from a single prompt - some code cells, then some markdown cells, then some code cells and so on?

The sidebar can certainly produce code mixed with markdown but right now, we process the markdown and show visually.

https://imgur.com/a/bpYu8yN

The cell level Cmd + K shortcut only works on a given cell to create or edit code and fix errors. Just tested it and it generates markdown well (just start your prompt with "this is a markdown cell")

https://imgur.com/VuDciQN

In the sidebar/chat window, it should be trivial to not parse the markdown and just show it raw. I'll work on it. In the main notebook, it's a bit harder but we are planning to allow multi-cell insertions but it will probably take 2-3 weeks.
What is the total grid storage capacity in Texas, in terms of the number of hours it can supply the normal demand when there is no sunlight or significant wind?
Why? Politics. Fin.

The Japanese government has long managed the production of rice to keep market prices high for the farmers' sake and given subsidies to farmers to not fully utilize their production potential.

Covid hit and tanked the demand moreso than usual, so government policies shifted to further production (read: supply) reductions. Less supply in response to reduced demand equals maintained market prices.

Politics has not caught up in the post-covid era where demand from both domestic and international (including tourism) has recovered and surged. The supply is still mid-covid limited.

Why? Politics. Fin.

You're not addressing the root concern which is that healthcare is notoriously insecure. Approaching this as "who cares if things get leaked" instead of improving security of records is why getting data is impossible.

I feel the author needs to be more specific about their definition and understanding of "vanilla".

This is a nice project, but the comments here show that the author is in a different world if they consider it a "no frameworks, no bundlers, no required dependencies. Just web standards, patterns, a unix-style toolset, and some elbow grease" or "simple" or "more sustainable".
