Thanks for that, while searching google for that result only lead me to vscode's IntelliSense settings. Searching for "Intelli Sense Memory Limit" setting in visual studio didn't lead me right to the result but it did give me a whole settings page that "matched". I found the setting in visual studio is "IntelliSense Process Memory Limit" which is under "Text Editor > C/C++ > Advanced" then under header "IntelliSense" towards the bottom of the section.
> They extracted the data from the drives many years ago

There are a lot of drives in museums out there that might be worth reading. Same with the magnetic core memories (which are persistent and keep their data without power). For example, the only way that (maybe) someone could retrieve a copy of the flight software on the Saturn V flight control computer is if the Smithsonian ever lets someone crack open the unit in their collection and see if there's anything in that unit's core memory still.

Reminds me a bit of the fragile ancient scrolls scholars are now trying to scan with X-rays and make readable with new technology. Retrieval of the information is often balanced against a risk to the artifact's integrity.
Not me. I was phrasing it as a question because I thought maybe someone would have a better source that showed otherwise.

That being said, China & India are managing <10c/kWh for ~1 billion people each. I feel pretty safe claiming that the UK does indeed have a horrific problem making electrons move through wires. 500% cost increase above par is an uncomfortable statistic.
I haven't used a Daylight (yet) but here's a side-by-side video of them being used in sunlight: https://x.com/daylightco/status/1808213555579441214

The reMarkable has better contrast, viewing angle, and resolution, the Daylight has a far better refresh rate. There are other tradeoffs between them of course, but display-wise, those are the main ones
LCD screens project light on your face (and in your eyes). E-ink does not. And there's the whole sun thing (altough I rarely use my Kobo outside). I don't know about sleep and focus (I sleep easily and like a rock) but I can use my kobo without glasses, which I can only do for a short time with LCD.
i get that they're probably busy making AGI but surely they can spare a few hours to make a proper website? or is this some 4d-chess countersignalling i'm too stupid to notice?
I’ve got an RM2. It was super useful when I was taking some glasses and had to submit electronically. Outside that use case, I rarely have used it.
I would add that a huge selling point is the on-demand aspect. You can get VMs/containers/functions running in a few seconds. This is great for experiments, bursting, etc but if you are using compute capacity for a year, it should be understood that you should rent a box instead.

Like, you wouldn't rent a dozen ZipCars every day. If your business required a fleet of cars, you would quickly look for a better arrangement than pay-by-the-minute "convenient" app services.
My RM2 is sitting in a drawer. I really wanted to like it and build it into my daily workflow, but the software never made me feel I was being productive. Scrolling through notes is incredibly slow, so any attempt to reference a past note was just met with frustration and yearning for a paper notebook.
It comes down to the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. There's a reason Recycle is the last word in that mantra. It's the most expensive of the three things a person can do. The other two are about habits, and those really are things you have to just decide you want to change.

However what I couldn't find was how much overall waste consumers create vs other sources, just this:

https://discardstudies.com/2016/03/02/municipal-versus-indus...

And it seems to imply that consumer behavior has little direct effect on the overall amount of waste we humans produce. Like, how many people would have to stop drinking canned beverages to see a decrease in bauxite tailings? Probably an unrealistic amount.
It's because is Ilya.

This deal was cooked way back, though, perhaps even before the coup.

Now, can they make a product that makes at least $1B + 1 dollar in revenue? Doubt it, I honestly don't see a market for "AI safety/security".
It's much more pleasant especially in very bright light like when outdoors. And this depends on the device but you usually have a much much lower minimum illumination level too. A phone or tablet on the lowest brightness still pretty much lights up a dark room while e-ink does not. Big difference if you read in bed with someone who is asleep.

I have a cheap foldable split Bluetooth keyboard that I connect to my e-ink Boox often enough. Why not? The device has a large enough screen to be a laptop and it's very easy on the eyes. I really don't care what the typing latency is, I don't look at the keyboard nor the screen while typing.
I mean look at this project, https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101183057 "A digital twin of human milk". Sounds like a homerun right? I'd say 80% of the projects are just filled with buzzwords to get funding, and they rarely produce any good outcomes
Pre H1B America was still pulling a large number of people from Europe, many of whom were fleeing WWII or its aftermath. John Von Neumann, for example, was Hungarian (though he came to the US in 1930, so not a WWII refugee).

Europe didn't do as much of inventing modern computing (though Bletchley Park would like a word) because it was still trying to recover from the destruction of WWII, and that set them back a decade. China and India didn't, because they were more than a decade behind. Having 20 times the population doesn't mean you're at the cutting edge.

Show HN: I built a search engine for independent websites
Hi, folks.

How would you define the "Golden Age" of the internet?

In my opinion, it’s when people ran personal websites, blogs, or portfolios to share thoughts and stories. These websites could be unstable, slow, or "ugly", but they were the true digital gardens of individuals, making the internet colorful.

It's such a pity that most of the content from independent websites is hidden in the corner.

Therefore, I built RawWeb (https://rawweb.org) to index all these hidden gems. It collects content through feeds (RSS, Atom) and sorts the results by relevance.

It also features an OPML parser. Feel free to submit your favorite personal blogs.
Every year I move a couple thousand bookmarks to my obsidian to make them easily searchable, then gradually move them to appropriate note.

AI Coding Assistant for Swift
Most of the AI coding assistants don't help developers working on iOS projects as they're IDE based but don't integrate with XCode.

Fine (fine.dev) gets around this as it's cloud based. It integrates with GitHub and builds a knowledge graph of your code which the LLM uses to fulfil your coding tasks.

Although it's more aimed at backend developers, for iOS developers this is probably the most useful AI dev tool publicly available at the moment.

This makes perfect sense. I remember working with a pile of datasheets years ago, but my use cases have changed a lot since then. Now, I can’t find any other purpose for the device besides writing. Even if I cloned myself ten times, I still wouldn’t be able to justify the price tag.

It's about TCO and time to market. Depending on what you're building, it's all YMMV. This article just quotes some individual costs

As somebody who worked at a mid-tier company trying to run databases, I can attest that RDS was a godsend. Trying to hire both a DBA and an Ops team that knew how to write the chef cookbooks for a proper multi-node cluster postgres was a nightmare. Like, we never succeeded, and something that's ootb with RDS

You must not forget that also, many (most?) companies that run things themselves do not do it right. Like, with proper off-site backups that you're regularly testing and know you have options to easily spin up replicas or restore point-in-time backups

Jeff Atwood's been saying this from the initial SO podcasts from 2008. If you have the right people who are motivated, and provide the right equipment and resources, you've always had the opportunity to have lower TCO doing it yourself

I have since moved on to a small top-tier company and still prefer to "outsource" my DBA work by way of using Aurora. Yes Aurora is more expensive. No, I don't have the mental or monetary budget to hire up a proper ops team. I know my limits
Yeah, I think this piece gets the narrative exactly backwards. Its main point is that- the bet matters, that is what is so unusual about those exemplars- and that is completely wrong.

Execution matters/mattered in those example cases, not the bet/founding hypothesis, of which in all cases there were dime a dozen. If the bet matters, why didn't those identical bets win?

Anyway.
Interesting, thanks, I was unaware of that distinction.
> To address that last problem, I think the color display area should be much smaller, or you should be shown all hues at once and asked to position a cut-off point.

If you're doing this on a phone, try holding your phone at arm's length and against a white background (such as the wall or ceiling) and doing the test that way. Assuming you have redshift/night mode disabled, I suspect you'll end up closer to the median.
> Twitter is a platform and social media is a technology. It's a cheap form of influence and is being used as a backdoor into our value systems and the narratives we use to understand our world.

No disagreement there.

> You're anti-censorship

Very much so, yes.

> Do you think it would be ok then if a website offer rape porn? or child abuse images? Wouldn't not allowing that being on TV be a form of censorship too?

It's absolutely a form of censorship, but (obviously) not one I disagree with.

> If we as a society find that a specific technology is causing actual harm to our society then we need to have discussions about how those technologies should be used and accessed and regulated. We can't just let our shit get broken because "censorship".

Yes, I'm with you as far as "we need to discuss this" and "this might be a problem".

> Twitter is not a town square and even in a real life town square,sometimes the police have to get involved when shit gets out of hand...are you frustrated about that also? In the actual town square, you need to actual make effort and put your true self on display to exercise your right to free speech. Twitter is a joke compared to that.

Well, except, to go with your metaphor, Brazil is saying "there are some drug dealers on the town square, let's just completely block it off and forbid meeting there altogether". Squashing innocent political meetings of your opponents might be an unfortunate side effect, but what can you do.

Just to be clear, I'm not at all a fan of Twitter. But it is a moderated platform and it's far from distributing the horrible stuff that we both agree should be censored [0]. It's not a shining diamond of intelligent discourse, but it's not in any way an extremist platform and it unquestionably did help democracy by helping normal broadcast the crimes happening in their region. Blocking it is a horrible precedent and really throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

[0] Yes, you will find examples of borderline tweets and horrible stuff that slipped through the filters, but that's to be expected for a platform of this size - in general, Twitter is comparatively tame and moderated.
How do new words arise in social media
n everyday language, words are constantly being created, and these words either persist or disappear. Although this phenomenon has been the subject of much linguistic research, the factors which influence the fate of a new word remain largely unknown, partly because of the difficulty of recording spontaneous language use over time. Examining the varieties of language used on social media allows us to overcome these limitations. We collected over 650 million tweets written in French, covering several years of ordinary interactions between 2.5 million users. We also collected the network of social links between these users. We identified nearly 400 words that appeared in the corpus between 2012 and 2014, and tracked their diffusion over 5 years within the network of users. Some of these words lead to changes, while others generate only ephemeral buzz. By looking at the position in the network of users who adopt these innovations, we show that words adopted by users who are more central in their community and easily in contact with other communities become established in the language, and vice versa. Thus, the position in the network of speakers who adopt these words is enough to predict their fate.
You can’t directly compare teraflops for GPU performance between different architectures unless you really only care about a single precision throughput, which is not a good metric. You do actually need real world graphics benchmarks to compare GPUs.

You also can’t compare NPU TOPs without knowing the baseline data type. Apple for the M3 uses FP16 whereas Intel uses INT8. You have to double the Apple number to get the raw data throughput (ignoring any other efficiencies for operations in different types).

It’s ~36 vs 48. So closer to 33% more for 100% more power use (impossible to measure just the NPU use though). The more comparable SOC for power use would be the M3 Pro
