A few factual inconsistencies indicate that this person poorly understands at least something they rant about:

> Russia banned Signal and designated WhatsApp (Meta) as "extremist organisation".

They banned Meta and Instagram the social networks after they "temporarily allowed" death threats to Russians at the start of the war, announcing an exception to their rules. This wasn't related to WhatsApp or its encryption, and it continues working unblocked.

> There was a "fake news" that TG got banned in Russia. That's not true. Instead, third parties were "temporarily" banned for using TG's API. All users (in Russia) were using TG just fine. No ban. No restrictions.

They really did wage a mini-war against Telegram a few years back, TG connection was spotty or blocked for a while, but eventually the block failed on the technical level, as Telegram resisted it by introducing proxies. This wasn't due to encryption (FSB & Co never had any issues deanonymizing TG users and exfiltrating data without even needing the cooperation from TG's side, and TG was never perceived as private by actual users, so I'm not sure what the half of the rant is about), this was due to their refusal to deplatform the opposition. IIRC they came to some "agreement" long after it ended, which is way more concerning. But, "fake news", seriously?
Very unusual specs on paper.

- Air cooling 6x4090 and a 32 core CPU for sustained peak workloads.

- 3200W total power when a single 4090 can draw close to 600W.

Maybe they are targeting startups who aren't interested in overclocking.

Bitfield-extract is being discussed for a future extension. E.g. Qualcomm is pressing for it to be added.

In the meantime, it can be done as two shifts: left to the MSB, and then right filling with zero or sign bits.
There is at least one core in development (SpaceMiT X100) that is supposed to be able to fuse those two into a single µop, maybe some that already do.

However, I've also seen that one core (XianShan Nanhu) is fusing pairs of RVI instructions into one in the B extension, to be able to run old binaries compiled for CPUs without B faster.
Throwing hardware at the problem to avoid a recompile ... feels a bit backwards to me.

Native look&feel makes for a consistent UX across apps. Users learn one set of conventions and UI controls that uniformly applies to all applications. In addition, all applications benefit from enhancements made to the native UI toolkit and integration with the OS (input methods, file dialogs, keyboard navigation, automations, …).

Moreover, web UIs tend to be less sophisticated and less power user friendly, due to HTML/CSS and browser API limitations. This unfortunately often carries over even to non-browser-based applications that however use a web-like UI.
I'm guessing the algorithm put you in some bucket, as my (Spanish/European, if that matters) "For you" looks quite different, the 10 first tweets are ~4 coding things, 1 meme, 2 WIP animation things and 3 different angles on the ongoing Telegram story. Last time I opened Twitter seems to have been 3 months ago according to my browser history, so not really a big user of it either.

Facebook, Instagram, etc. moderating content isn't a free speech issue. They are just glorified bulletin boards. They try to raise everyone's sense of their importance by claiming it to be a free speech issue, but they are awful garbage and the sooner everyone realizes the better for society.
Working with Protobuf in 2024
I’m a big fan of the BSDs, but if you’re talking about the desktop, Proton and Steam, WiFi support, and (for me) Niri. You can get Niri working, probably, with some effort, but it comes out of the box on Fedora and Arch. The case of Niri is representative, in my limited experience, of the general case. The dev tooling I use always supports Linux as a 1st class citizen, but rarely supports the BSDs.

Social media sites are the collective equivalent of a "dollar auction"[1]

In the dollar auction, each immediate choice isrational, but the overall process inevitably results in you losing value once you've decided to participate. But at each step, you lose more by quitting than by keeping going.

Social media is the same, except that it's collective: if you want to keep in touch with certain people, you don't have a choice other than to use the social media site they are using, so leaving is a collective action problem.

An anecdote:

I don’t care if things look native, however I am actively repulsed by modern web design trends.
It is not ridiculous for Germany to feel a moral obligation towards those who were affected by Germany's crimes against humanity. We apply the name "Israel" to those and think that it is sufficiently clear.

In fact, I think those moral obligations rank higher than a lot of individual freedoms. Remember that the German constitution puts the dignity of (wo)man above all other rights.

Freedom of Opinion is Article 5 and can be restricted by law and to protect youth and personal honor.

I don't know where you come from but calls for destruction of any country are bad. We might strive for leaders or parties to be exchanged, we might strive for independence of oppressed minorities, but that doesn't mean we want to destroy the country.
An open-source clean and customizable RAG UI for chatting with your documents
This seems pretty neat for when your layer separation is merely by folders in JavaScript.

It's unfortunate that this doesn't highlight any problems until the code is run as I feel it's always best to find out as soon as possible you're making a mistake, your IDE instantly telling you of a problem as you try write the code is the most ideal time, with the next being compilation. In this case probably even a simple integration test would instantly let you know, which isn't terrible.

There is a run time performance impact too here, but I would expect its cost is reasonable for the value it adds.

In the C# space (and I imagine many other languages have equivalent options), layer segregation is a good reason to split your code into multiple assemblies (or projects) and the compiler can then enforce the layering. Of course we sometimes also split things up to into different assemblies for other reasons too, but for any non-trivial sized code base, I consider that one assembly per layer is the bare minimum.
Are you not making the positive claim that LLMs can (eventually) generate good incident reports?

Please refer to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy)

Just to make sure we both understand what burden of proof is:

Suppose two people are having a debate over whether or not a teapot exists in the orbit of Jupiter which is impossible to observe via telescope. Where does the burden of proof lie?

Just to reiterate plainly:

Does the burden of proof lie on the person making empirically impossible to falsify claim or the person making the empirically possible to falsify claim?

Which of the following two claims is impossible to empirically falsify?

1. "LLMs can eventually be used to produce good incident reports."

2. "LLMs can never eventually be used to produce good incident reports."
What does your comment have to do with a link to a specific Twitter post?
I started using Twitter more actively quite recently actually, and yeah, you can make it work well.

You just have to:

1. Follow the accounts posting interesting content.

2. Whenever you see anything that’s not interesting to you, you click the three dots on the card and select “not interesting to me”.

You can train your feed very quickly this way, and I can say Twitter is mostly valuable for me now.
Unfortunately it can't be compared to zfs...

Zfs is the sole spread and battle tested moderately modern storage we have in the world, the other but constrained by the OS it support is Hammer. btrfs, lvm, mdraid, luks, stratis are monsters designed by people who do not really understand operation.

Actually they are one of the reasons why GNU/Linux is in a so dire state respect of decade old unices.

as we hit the end of moore's law (which we won't, but we'll hit the end as far as feature size shrinkage)... one of the optimizations they will do is rote trivial process optimization. So if the chip failure rate on the assembly line is 40% they drop it to 10%. Costs will drop accordingly, because there are x-fold more transistors per dollar, thus ensuring moores law.
This thing could run off a single US outlet (1600W) with some throttling, if I'm not mistaken?

On macOS? Your app better is native because it will stick out like a sore thumb if it isn’t and I won’t use it.
Possibly it would, but criminal investigation is imperfect by default and can't just be compared to an ideal of justice done exactly right and swiftly. Instead it has to manage with the reality of its difficulty and a killer being imprisoned decades later, the families of his victims being able to confront him vs. never having known anything at all.
too many uninteresting questions, karma chasing which led to stupid moderation and answer-writing-competition for uninteresting questions
First things first, let's take a glance back at Weird Tales, the pulp magazine that featured the works of Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft. This magazine eventually laid the groundwork for the cultural exchange that influenced their respective tabletop games. While their concurrent publishing surely pitted them against each other to varying degrees, it also contributed to the reciprocal public reception of their novel depictions of the human condition, psyche, and the surreal, metaphysical underbelly of reality.

One could conclude that the Cthulhu Mythos and the subsequent Neo-noir, Art Deco and Gothic subcultures were erected upon the very site of the largely forgotten ruins of what Lovecraft and his contemporaries authored or cinematized all those years ago, alongside their fashion and architectural underpinnings. The brewing resurgence closely coincided with WW2 coming to a close and leaving its wake a hankering for cultural reawakening. Lovecraft, having passed on with his work still largely unknown to most, but the work preserved by some stubbornly dedicated enthusiasts, and most notably one by the name of August Derleth, who took it upon himself to promote Lovecraft's work, with most of his efforts concentrated in the immediate closing of the theater of war, through a collection of anthologies and continued post-war efforts.

After a decades-long lasting lull that surrounded Lovecraft's yet to take place fandom it became apparent that no other horror carried in it the essence of the ominous sanity stretching terror that our human psyche very much invokes in us regarding the things beyond our senses and as such the monsters and their makeups began losing their footing in the battlegrounds of the mad brains - as Lovecraft's necromantically reconjured body of work congrued within us yet again.

Moving to the modern era of Sandy Petersen's lineage of Mythos, the game designer of Call of Cthulhu who most certainly understood the principles behind the source material and had the design sensibilities to instill these ideas into carryable game plans that bore fruit in communicating these rather novel ideas through the medium of socially unconventional means of self-expression that only such theatrical mode of eloquence as tabletop roleplaying games could hope to summon forth—especially during its formative years, around that era of cooperative gaming in 1981, as Call of Cthulhu's newly found pages were revealed for the new era of fans in the form of its Basic Role-Playing manual[0], published by the house of Chaosium.

The book not only revived H.P. Lovecraft’s work but also placed it under the looking glass of rigorous scrutiny in studying cultural malleability and the maddening hunt in uncovering the sensical faculties of the forgotten one's works. Petersen’s game revitalized the role-playing genre with its way to powerfully evoke imagery that conjures and warps our very subrealities, revealing the hidden: that even in our most orderly and structured boasts, the cosmos remains inscrutable as it coasts.

As this post might attract Guix users, what's the current state for using hardware?

When I tried it a few years ago I ran into a stance on firmware which amounted to it refusing to run unless you used some other Linux branch which was strongly discouraged on somewhat unclear grounds. I think the idea was that closed-source-firmware shalt not be used, and if you absolutely must, there's something over there that you aren't allowed to talk about.

Is that approach still the dominant one today? I'd like a scheme userspace but I'm not dealing with having to use unofficial linux forks to have a wifi card work.

I see https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix offers:

Guix channel for packages that can't be included upstream.
Please do NOT promote or refer to this repository on any
official Guix communication channels.

but it's hard to determine from the outside whether this is a pragmatic obstacle or not.
I don't know about RealPage in particular. But the dynamics could be similar to (or an example of) a cartel.

Cartels generally don't tolerate a cartel member undercutting their prices. Cartels are effectively in a prisoner's dilemma situation:

* If no one defects (i.e. everyone sticks to the cartel price), the cartel members get the highest price, and get the most profits.
* If one party defects and goes slightly below the cartel price, while everyone else stays loyal to the cartel pricing, the defecting party gets the most business at a price only slightly below the cartel price, and makes lots of profit.
* If all parties defect, there is no cartel any more, and profits are reduced.

So cartel members do not want other cartel members to defect. Cartel organisers get paid because the value of the cartel is only there if defection (i.e. not sticking to the cartel price) is controlled - so it is also in the interest of the organisers to prevent this.

What are you referring to? There’s a chasm of difference between genocide and collective punishment. I’m not from the US, but it’s my understanding Facebook doesn’t need intervention from the US government to contribute to genocide, they’re quite capable of doing it on their own.

That criticism only applies if you believe the person making the claim. Is Mark Zuckerberg trustworthy? He’s the CEO who infamously called his users “dumb fucks” for trusting him and lied about the harms he knows his platforms cause. Hardly a paragon of trust. So I don’t see it as ironic that someone would hear what Zuckerberg has to say and immediately think it’s at best a self-serving half-truth.

Certainly, I find it ridiculous that new immigrants need to give a pledge that existing locals don't have to give. On the other hand, I don't think any of this pertains to Free Speech.

Free Speech just means that you aren't oppressed to say certain things. Like all rights, also the Freedom of Speech has its boundaries. Slander for example. Germany applies certain sensible restrictions on speech and that's it. That's not negative. Free speech absolutists just like to have no strings attached, but this isn't what holds societies together.
Following the author for some time and his main point is that “electron” won already, even despite the fact that the author himself doesn’t like it. And he’s not wrong. Majority of desktop users probably don’t care already if it’s native look or not (don’t cite me on that). The goal of the project to provide a way creating quite performant desktop apps with a DX of Clojure. And it’s a nice goal.
Verification comes with an additional cost. This makes me wonder: if we can verify, why use a LLM at all? An LLM might even cost more.
This whole article is really confusing. It sounds like there were two things:

As someone who had the misfortune of working on clipboard support in Chrome, I thought "wow, there's no way we do that in places other than Linux".

... turns out we do and I helped review that patch. Doh!

For how widely the clipboard is, the actual implementation (both in the OS and in the browser) is surprisingly unloved and unmaintained.

FWIW, Chrome intentionally doesn't plumb through the original image bytes. I wasn't around when it was initially implemented, but even for many years afterwards, there were no (Windows) platform conventions for passing around non-bitmap images on the (Windows) clipboard. And another (probably unintentional) benefit was "the encoded image bytes are from an untrustworthy source and could trigger bugs in buggy image decoders", while bitmaps are (relatively) safe in comparison.

Of course, this is a rather arbitrary line, because it's easy to get the original image bytes out of the sandboxed renderer, e.g. by dragging out the image or by saving the image.

At this point, someone could probably try plumbing through the original bytes or even implementing delayed rendering... but it's quite expensive in terms of time, especially to test all the random things that might break. :(
I think the plan with this all along was George went off and built exactly what he thinks he needs for his specific work and then just makes it available. So is the wildly underpowered CPU bad? I don't know, I don't know his use case.

It also seems just weird from a business point of view. He's not going to sell many, he's not going to offer support, he's not at a scale where vendors are going to offer much particular support, and despite being absolutely tiny in scale he's still offering two totally different SKUs.

> 6x PCIe 4.0 x16 (64 GB/s)

Wikipedia [0] states that PCIe 4.0 x16 has a throughput of ~32GB/s, what does the (64 GB/s) indicate on the website, is this just a typo and you have 6x ~32GB/s or does it mean in total you can "only" expect a throughput of 64GB/s all lanes slots combined?

If so, wouldn't you also be bottlenecked by the PCIe bandwidth (when moving data between CPU and GPU)?

Show HN: yougotta.click, a remake of One Million Checkboxes
If you click a light square, it turns dark and you get one point. If you click a dark square, it goes light and your score resets. Because the playing field is the same for everyone, you'd better watch out for other players on the field!

The idea for this site was stolen from the excellent onemillioncheckboxes.com made by eieio, and (poorly) recycled into this. I got quite obsessed by his amazing writeup on how he built One Million Checkboxes[1], and felt that I had to build something like this myself. Also, I've wanted to learn Go for a while now, and this seemed like the perfect excuse to do so.
