One of the really nice things about Julia for GPU programming is that you can write your own kernels. CUDA.jl isn't just C kernels. This is why (for example) DiffEQGPU.jl is able to be a lot faster than the other GPU based ODE solvers (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.06835 for details).
APIDog – Modern Alternative to Postman
Which really further proves Intel's point - they don't want to design phone chips. They wanted to (and did) ape off old nodes for nearly a decade, sat on the same designs and never really competed for the mobile market. There wasn't a world where Intel pays for an ARM architecture license, designs Apple's cores, and then gets cheated out of a fair price in the dealmaking room. It's not worth it for them, had Intel signed onto such an agreement they'd only be guaranteed to cuck themselves in the future.

We can argue for or against Intel acquiring an ARM license in an alternate reality, but truth is they don't care. Apple wanted to turn them into something that would never work, and even if they got what they wanted, Apple's current supply-chain squeeze would have obviated any chance of Intel sticking around.
I can't have kids. Dying alone is my fate, nothing I can do about it.

____

It's something I think about a lot. I have siblings and niblings, but I live in a 3rd world country and my goal in life is to escape to some first world country.

If I escape, I will die alone abroad; but while I live, I'll be able to make my life and the life of my loved ones better.

If I stay, I might be able to count on my nephews/nieces to check on me in old age...but depending on how life goes and what the economic conditions are, it's much more likely that...

Not only do I live a terrible life, but when I am old and my siblings dead, my niblings will ignore me, unable to take care of another burden, nor would I want to be such a burden on them.

Which lends me back to option 1: go abroad... then maybe retire back here? But then I would have no connection, and nor would they have one with me.

_____

I'v seen this happen here a lot. A lot of people I know lived their lives in the Gulf... used to a certain standard of living and having barely any connection to the relatives back home.

They educated their kids and sent then to uni in 1st world countries, while they retired to big palatial homes here.

But now they are alone, their kids have no reason to come back after uni to the big 3rd world homes their fathers built... and the relatives here have no connection to the uncle/aunt from the gulf they saw once every three years.

The kids are alone abroad, the parents are alone here. No one wins.

Note that the attack described in this article is a passive attack, so sufficiently long calls that were previously recorded might be vulnerable. I doubt this will matter for most people, but mass interception for later decryption was one of the surprises of the Snowden files.
Also, back in the day, some of us had a fair number of magazine subscriptions. But, really, at peak it was a small percentage of the number of websites I look at at least now and then. Consumption has generally changed and most of us are skittish about subscriptions generally even if we have a few.

I clicked through expecting to read an informative article on EV futures. This however is just a blog apparently by some guy who has nothing to add except to tell us his brand preference and echo some vague uncertainty.

I own a Rivian. It’s a best in class EV pickup truck and honestly the nicest vehicle I think I will ever own.

One day the module that controls all the radios died and I lost all wifi and cell functionality. It took a couple weeks for service to fix it. In the meantime the vehicle reverted to a “dumb car”, basically the same as my 2015 Mazda. I unlocked it with the fob, listened to Bluetooth music, navigation through my cell phone etc.

It was still a dream to drive. If Rivian shut down, this is the experience I would expect until such time as I needed parts, then I imagine I’d be looking for junkers or third parties…just like I do with my classic 1960s car.

I will say that it would be nice if these companies made a pact to open their platform if they were going under, but I know the reality is that creditors and holding companies will pick at the bones.

I also know that even established companies will drop a product anytime they wish. Who is to say Ford will always push updates to their cars? We can’t even get that promise with our cell phones.
Yeah, you are right, the “TV noise” sub plot is not part of Contact.

Never heard of him, but too bad Petris did not succeed. We would be in a far different place now.

No surprise here, we all know over half the US Supreme Court only cares how much they can extort from the very rich. Doing this will probably head the world into somekind of mild mad max world.
I was under the impression that the fear of death is a near universal instinct amongst living things, but humans, given our unique intelligence may know the fear of it better than any other animal because we understand that it is coming for us all.

Personally, I was around seven years old when I realized that there was no god and it meant that death would be the end of my consciousness. It probably didn't help that I had an operation about that time using general anesthesia which effectively turned my brain off for a few hours and showed me what it might mean to be dead for a short time - a period in which I was not present and formed no memories, and what it would mean to be dead for an infinite time. I was not a particularly easy-going child after that.

The average African country is severely underpoliced. Like, severely, in a way most Westerners can't wrap their heads around. Even though Nigeria claims to have 400k cops, I'm willing to bet at least 100k to 200k are ghost officers. Just like when ISIS started their 2014 offensive and the Iraqi gov. admitted half of their army existed on paper.

And, I'm not the one saying it. Nigeria routinely purges thousands of ghost officers from salary rosters and recently claimed it had 80k ghost cops. In a country of 200 million. So, it's a no-brainer why private security is a better deal once you have the means. They're available 24/7 and often have guns, and backup, and other tech.
Probably just in California. Everything there is gold-plated pricing.
Did you ever try alternatives to Jupyter like Pluto.jl? I'm curious if there's the same sort of friction.
You can call any decision you want crazy, but it's not relevant in a matter of trademark, and they talked about this at the time of the original license change. The word "Elastic" isn't enough on its own. In contrast Amazon was literally offering a product identical to theirs (quite literally) that was also using the exact same name "Elasticsearch".

If Elastic the company sold a product called "Elastic Amazon EC2" and it was an API compatible copy of EC2 cloud compute, you can reasonably assume that Amazon would be pissed off about it.

How to lose 7 potential customers in 3 days step by step tutorial
Hi there!

Long story short, a friend of mine gave me the idea for a SaaS, a website where you input a website and it automatically spits out the best blog post to rival your competitors keywords.

I made it to be so much more than an AI content writer, it actually automatically gets data from your competition, keywords, where they rank, where they don't and create the blog posts in such a way that it competes with their traffic. If you want to understand more: https://seoheister.com

Now for the fun part, despite having some traction i decided to launch the product on PH and a few communities i knew.

All of that took 3 days, from contacting people, creating posts, marketing and so on. But to my surprise, i didn't got any customers. I shrugged it off and said that it was bad luck or i am just really bad at it.

UNTIL!

That's the story!

The current population of China in 2024 is 1,425,178,782, a 0.03% decline from 2023. I don't know where you're getting your alarmism from. If you bother to work out deaths per day in your scenario I suspect it's only a fraction of a percent higher.

(People go absolutely bananas about fertility dipping briefly below replacement, as if this isn't a contingent phenomenon that can and will be changed as circumstances and population change)
And that would be annoying to people who aren't already logged in to a related site.

Also, there is no way to know which related site the user is logged in to, so they would have to prompt for every one of their sites.
Gold standard sure, but that doesn't make it the definition of line rate.
For me, I almost stopped reading at the assertion that clock drift doesn't matter. They clearly didn't think through the constant fight that would occur over who the leader actually was and just hand-wave it away as 'not an issue.' They need to remove time from their equation completely if they want clock drift to not matter.

Solar panels cost less than windows:

89x44" for $221.40: https://www.portable-sun.com/products/canadian-solar-540w-bi...

96x48" for $544.00: https://1stwindows.com/retro/milgard2/trinsic/picture-window...

Those were the first that came up in search. I'm seeing other 500 W panels for $100-150 and windows for $1000-2000. But we can safely say that panels are less than half the cost of windows.

The increase in solar panel cost was from Trump's 30% solar tariff in 2018:

https://www.seia.org/research-resources/section-201-solar-ta...

The saddest thing about all of this for me is that we had the tech to manufacture inexpensive solar panels at scale in the 1980s. Just like any of us could design better computer vision sorters for recycling. We're stopped for protectionist geopolitical reasons so that people in entrenched industries don't lose their jobs.

I wish we could be honest about this, because it's what the next US presidential election is about. We can pretend that we live in a free market economy of winners and losers, or we can work together at a meta level above the zero-sum game Nash equilibrium that's leading us inexorably towards species extinction and global climate change:

The CIA and NSA are already involved. The CIA in particular essentially gave the brazilian right the evidence that got our current president arrested for corruption years ago. Biden's CIA guy literally told our former president to stop questioning the elections in a public statement, even some american journalists noticed. The left constantly accused Bolsonaro of being a CIA puppet and I don't even doubt those claims. I just wonder what happened behind the curtains that soured the CIA's opinion of him.
More important than that is text lends itself to searching for possibly obscure phrases to narrow down the possible candidates before even having to "consume" any information whereas with video that is challenging and very inefficient (time and energy-wise).
Yes Minio lies, but they can do that no matter what anything is.
It’s unfortunate you don’t want to discuss the merits of my argument.

Not to give out advice, but if your aim isn’t to learn and debate and change minds and be changed, what’s your point? Do you just want to make noise or something?

I would like to properly characterize the argument to understand all sides. Because I want more great software to exist in the world. My belief is that the way to do this is to have people create and share, of their own free will. And I want to learn if there’s a better way.
Since you are asking for feedback, I would seriously consider buying licenses for my team if:

- We are allowed to use our own API key to get your extension to talk directly with our LLM of choice. I understand you are using Claude right now, but we are on OpenAI & Copilot; since we already went through the hoops of "accepting that our codebase will be sent to an LLM", we are trying to control the level of exposure. OpenAI is already in, Claude isn't; and you definitely won't be so having our codebase go through your infra is a no go. Local LLM would be incredible, but it might be not technically achievable yet.

- The price is too steep. I get way more value out of Copilot than I get from CodeViz which is similarly priced. I understand you have LLM costs at the moment, but as the point above defends: it does not have to be that way. I would find it way more "fair" to have to insert my LLM API (even for the free version and/or trial, right now you are loosing money on that) and have a separate cost for the extension; possibly with a "lifelong for current version + 1 year of upgrade license". Let me pay the usage to the LLM monthly depending on my actual usage, and pay you to build a very nice prompt engineering system.
But A5/2 and 1 shared the same key generation, leading to an attack replaying the recorded, encrypted stream.
In the article's world, crime happens and is publicized but is trending down or is a relatively rare event that's just played up by news organizations for money. In OP's world, crime happens and is largely unreported save for the most extreme examples. I think the reality is somewhere in the middle, there are a lot of places where "petty" property crime is considered a complete non-event and in those areas the crime rate has dropped because the police simply don't take reports and there's a stigma associated with going to the police because you "just" had you car broken into or were "only" mugged for $40. The flipside to this is that mass casualty events like terrorist attacks and mass shootings are extremely rare, but because of the money in reporting on them and political capital that can be gained fear mongering, they end up widely known and feared within their target demographics.
Wow.

Also happy that highscalability is still up and about.

Safari? Unless you're going to say that Apple gets the money for Safari through ads which, y'know, technically correct but disingenuous in this context, surely.

Julia does definitely need some love from devs with a strong understanding of IO performance. That said, for interactive use the compiler has gotten a bunch faster and better at caching results in the past few years. On Julia 1.10 (released about 6 months ago) the time to load Plots.jl and display a plot from scratch is 1.6 seconds on my laptop compared to 7.3 seconds in Julia 1.8 (2022)

> In fact, just a couple decades before his birth, both electric and steam-powered vehicles — which were cleaner and more powerful, respectively, than early gas-powered cars ...

While I agree that electrics are clean steam vehicles still use combustion and were not as efficient as a piston ICE. Plus the driver had to play boiler operator and ensure there was a steady fuel supply and feed water. Kinda stopped reading after that matter-of-fact hyperbole and just skimmed the rest.

There are some neat videos of vintage British coal fired steam trucks which are really neat (they sounds like mini road steam locomotives) but the emissions make a burning tire seem clean.
I ended up blocking Amazon SES because I was receiving hundreds of obviously spam emails across all my inboxes every day for weeks. I dutifully sent multiple reports of this obvious spam to the listed spam/abuse contacts for Amazon SES.

The end result of my efforts was:

1) No feedback at all from my reports to Amazon - not even an acknowledgement that my report had been received
2) The spam continued unabated for weeks until I finally had enough and just blocked the entire Amazon SES service

That was a few years ago and maybe they are more responsive now. They sure as hell weren't responsive back then.
People aren't necessarily that open about it, and it can take a while of getting close to someone to realize that they never mention their family.

For some definition of impossible, given that many systems utilise them effectively. Not all corner cases or theoretical failure modes are relevant to everyone.
As a neuroscientist focused on intracortical recordings, these can be useful for certain clinical diagnostics but they’re quite limited in terms of signal quality. They signals are analogous to listening to an orchestra from outside the building. You may be able to tell that a song is playing but you lose the vast majority of the detail, and what we can learn from this is somewhat limited. Noise from facial muscles is another huge issue if you’re focused on the brain. Some interface devices focus on these signals instead for silent speech decoding etc. that can work, but the applications are still somewhat niche.
So of course then it's okay if the tangled web of corporate/government co-surveillance weaves tighter and people become partially beholden to a tech giant known for being even more opaque and user-hostile than the government itself.
Totally and that goes back to their lack of execution as a managed service/SaaS offering because the GTM for those is different, more self-service. If you can't unwind yourself from selling a heavy weight legacy style enterprise software package, you struggle to execute in SaaS, you burden yourself to be understood by your customer as the opposite of modern.
