A bunch of years ago someone took a prize for longest indoor human powered flight, with terms that seemed unlikely to ever be reached.

He commented something along the lines of "Everyone else have been optimizing for the wrong problem. They were optimizing for the problem 'how to control indoor flight'.

I optimized for 'how do I make tweaks and modifications to the craft and try again'. Then I kept modifying and trying till it worked.

SpaceX figured out the same thing, but on a grander scale.
nah not like he's talking about - TF and PT definitely punt all that down to tensorrt or hip or whatever. doesn't mean there's anything novel here - just that TF and PyTorch don't do it.
Tobi Lutke on Creating Shopify for Americans as a German in Canada
His party polls very low among the youth (that do not vote a lot anyway), i'm not saying that people who go to raves are left or right-wing, i'm just making a claim about their youthfullness. I don't even believe that anyway, i think it's more stupidity than malice, i just wanted to say i understand the people who believe that.

I don't think this is a Netanyahu issue anyway, i think that most israeli leaders, whatever their political leaning would probably have made the same mistakes. Not at least acknowledging "discourse on colonialism" from Cesaire when you have settlers yourselves is to me a grave mistake of the Israeli society. I'm not saying you must agree with most of it, i don't, or that it apply 1 for 1, it doesn't, but acknowledgement this text exist and trying to draw parallels and do a self-criticism is a very good way to limit the impact of colonialism on your own population and (especially in this case) leadership.
I think it was a sarcastic way to stress how low effort the whole endeavour required.
The problem is that other than faster charging, the vast majority of people would not see USB-C as an upgrade, and instead a play to make them buy new cables and chargers. Even though Apple had switched over to exclusively bundling USB-C to lightning cables with the iPhone 11 (2019) and usb-c to MagSafe for Apple Watch Series 7 (2021), a USB-C port on the device does not in itself provide a clear advantage for migration - Apple switching could just be seen as a play to get everyone to buy new cables and chargers.

Even after the switch to USB-C, it blows my relatives' minds when I explained you could plug a USB flash drive into the phone directly. It is just a charging hole for most.

My hypothesis is that they were already planning to go to USB-C on the pro models last year an then trickle it down to the base model 1-2 years following - the SoC was updated with USB 3 features like 10 Gbps data transfer and DP alt mode, and they had software features like capturing 4k video directly to a connected external SSD. The base 15 was left on an older SoC due to cost/yields at TSMC.

Europe may have moved them to upgrade the base model 1-2 years earlier. However, by doing such a migration "begrudgingly" Apple got to use Europe as a little bit of a scapegoat in the press. The forced migration is the answer to the upset questions about the migrating generating a lot of e-waste in terms of obsolete cable and accessories, and in the consumer cost of upgrading a decade of old chargers and lightning cables around their homes, vehicles, offices, etc.
I know that Indian companies might not have a bug bounty program but you should get paid for finding such a big vulnerability
And their CTO should take some blame for this.

On the other hand, I agree with other comments that posting the whole financials of a company does not seem like a good idea

What an amazing flashback - I used EIL quite a bit as a student in the mid-late 90s.

They were by far the best online record shop at the time, and iirc were one of the first UK retailers to bother using SSL.

I'm a little ashamed to admit that I've not used them since Amazon started selling music in 2000-ish. In retrospect, that was probably a mistake so I'm going to spend some time on EIL next weekend to make amends

Well, they just introduced the “Repair Assistant” which allows you to pair new parts after a repair. They talk about it in this article, had you read it.

But, yeah, about fucking time, I agree on that.
If I'm being totally honest, I am not sure it would be totally foreign. Entrepreneurship in Sweden (at least according to a quick google search) is relatively rare. Most of the entrepreneurs coming from the nordics I have interacted with have been decidedly less social contract oriented than even I am to the point where they seem almost like Gordon Gekko caricatures as though they are attempting to behave in a manner they think someone attempting to operate in a market-driven context would act. I am not sure that this argument would be totally foreign to your acquaintance, at least based upon the entrepreneurs coming from that region of the world in the USA.
Not really.Maybe if you are over certian age, but you can barely get a GP appointment when you need it.
After buying Intel, Qualcomm could sink x86 by simply not renewing the cross-licensing agreement with AMD.

With Intel's patents on emulating x86 on other CPU architectures, Qualcomm could then ensure that going forward, the only economically viable way of running x86 code is on Snapdragon CPUs.

It is more expensive but for the amount I have to drive in London it’s fine for now.
One of obvious hindsights here is to use the extension `.bf` instead of `.b`, which was previously suggested by daniel b cristofani, a prolific Brainfuck programmer [1]. `.bf` is also used for Befunge and `.b` removes any such confusion.

I can think of one thing, which might not be what parent meant: the incentive of developing for linux, or paying porters like icculus and flibitijibibo to build a native version goes out the window, and the need for their kind of craft goes away.

Frankly when the SteamDeck launched I hoped that game developers will start treating it as they do any other console and build specifically for it, but sadly Proton prevented that from happening.

Tech "fixed" that with frozen food, fryers and microwaves. Ordering on your phone a microwaved industrial meal is a consistent user experience. That's ok for fast-food but not something I'd enjoy at a cafe or restaurant.
This is “the tire shop doesn't have a torque wrench” level shit. If it's an oversight, it's an oversight due to incompetency, not because a good team just happened to miss something in a crunch. Another possibility is that the issue was raised and management said to fix it later, and because software “engineering” isn't a real engineering field that holds its practitioners to any duty of care, those responsible (the engineers) just went along with it.
One hurdle that many companies who have only known cloud hosting will face here is significant: how do you find a reliable, trustworthy datacenter? One who actually monitors the hardware and also has a real human if your networking access gets screwed or if you need a critical component swapped at 2 am on a Saturday.

I used to have a short list of trustworthy companies like this I'd recommend to clients ~20 years ago when doing consulting. I think 3/4 of them have been gobbled up by private equity chop shops or are just gone.

Nowadays noone gets fired for going with AWS, or resold AWS with a 100% markup from a 'private enterprise cloud' provider.
What is "cliché" is to offer up "McKinsey is this shady organization we all hate!" as some sort of evidence that they could conspire to organize this sort of thing.

Getting back to the original thesis of the article, the author is stating that people making the decision on RTO (the "elites", another nebulous scary term...) are doing so because commercial real estate is so critical to their decision making process. If anyone can provide any evidence that McKinsey could orchestrate such a thing (with actual details), I'm all ears.
ARM64EC requires source and it produces an ARM64EC executable, which runs close to ARM64 speeds. x86/x64 executables are emulated.

Some restaurants in my city use a middle-ground solution: there's a tablet on each table (running Android, of course) on which you can order and pay (but that part is full of dark patterns, unfortunately). But you also still get a paper menu. And paper menus with pictures are great.
I've been hearing about this for a while and many of the entities holding the bag are publicly traded, given there's plenty of mercenary firms out there able and willing to make a buck off of a catastrophe is there any reason to believe this isn't already priced in?
> Online menus with pictures of every dish

The invention of color photography, and large and small format color printing, make it unnecessary for the whole thing to be online. You can have pictures without all the issues of online - like small, low-resolution screens (relative to paper all screens are low-res screens), and being coerced to give away personal data.

I do not think that you need to be around to make connections. I have had colleagues who were at office once every blue moon but everyone in the office knew them and invited them everywhere. And I also know of people who sit on opposite desks for years and only have greetings and coffee chit-chats when forced to.

Anyone with good people skills will break any barriers to connect and build a network of influence regardless of their expertise level. Anyone with communication issues or extremely introverted will have more difficulties to connect however, not that they would be doing great in person.

Starting a new job is always stressful, as any major change is difficult for human to adapt and needs time.

> See the countless stories about people holding two jobs at the same time.

This needs to stop, there were few reports, not countless. A few bad apples does not generalize the orchard. Also, if the pay is decent and living costs are affordable, no one needs to hold two jobs. If someone is holding two jobs remotely, it mostly means they are in "bulls!!t" job where they are not utilized to adequate levels and the symptoms of low output is not correctly noticed.

It seems pretty clear to me that the main target of this is ARM Chromebooks, at least for now. As these are the only products currently shipping in any relevant numbers where this makes sense.
There's one list I know of at https://bgp.services/ (not sure how complete or accurate it is, but it's a starting point).
Where do you draw the line then?

I'll note I've seen people struggling across the supermarket carpark to avoid buying a plastic bag only to get in a giant SUV. It's a form of moral licensing[1], there is a huge amount of dissonance around environmental issues.

Show HN: GitHub-style heatmap for habit tracking
I started coding this year. Seeing my GitHub commit chart green daily became addictive.

So I built a tool which could help me replicate the dopamine hit of filling up those squares for my other habits too.

Friends wanted to use it, so I added features: leaderboard, custom avatars. Now sharing it with HN.

No monetization plans yet. If it reaches 100+ users, might add more stats: productive days/hours, yearly habit wrapped, comparisons etc.

Would love to hear feedback from the community here. The green squares fueled my coding habit. Wondering if the red squares will do it for everything else!
You could still build a FFT in tinygrad and it would be as deterministic as it's matmuls (so not bitwise deterministic, due to the non-associativity of floating point math and the way GPUs don't guarantee execution order, but we are okay with that). The matmuls in the NNs don't hallucinate.
Haha :) Looking forward to seeing it more often... with proper security
> So to me, the question is how can we take EU countries seriously when they talk about privacy when so many of them are ready to create a system of blanket surveillance on all their citizens?

Well I guess they draw a distinction between allowing state-level actors to access information in the name of stopping crimes and/or national security concerns and allowing the same sort of access to commercial entities.

I'm not saying that justifies it, but it's a different threat model - accessing data about your own citizens for state reasons, rather than collecting data about everyone for commercial gain.

Let's hope it gets knocked back again.
Two questions…

1) What is the point of posting this website on HN? I love vinyl, and have a collection with plenty of rarities in it (one out of five, one out of ten, test pressings, promo pressings, signed sleeves, etc.), but I am not sure if a discussion on HN about a vinyl marketplace is apropos. I am not trying to be contrarian; I am asking out of curiosity.

2) As a US-based collector, I find prices listed on the posted website of some LPs I would like to have in my collection much more (as in, double) than listings I can find on Discogs… not to mention Discogs’s excellent communication tools and release database. With the exception of one purchase I made where the seller was essentially acting as a drop shipper and had no idea what they were selling, every vinyl I have purchased through Discogs has been exactly what I thought I had purchased (variant, condition, other important characteristics). I typically communicate with sellers to make sure vinyls are packaged a certain way in depending on the purchase to make sure the new addition to my collection arrives in the best condition possible. Discogs community-centric tools make it very easy to determine or infer buyer and seller reputations / trustworthiness. All said: what is the value of this site over a site such as Discogs?
It's good that we go in a direction where we have accessibility to the devices components and the high end technology. I can't assess how easy it is for the layman to repair an iPhone, but the inertia is there to make a device longer usable.

The emergency services are still mostly fine (albeit insanely overworked to maximize hospital owner profits) and you won't get an ruinous invoice like in the US, that's still correct.
They're absolutely correct:

" 1. Install Linux on the box. Turn everything off but sshd. Turn off password access to sshd. If you just locked yourself out of sshd because you didn't install ssh keys first, STOP HERE. You are not ready for this. "

If you blindly followed the directions and got locked out, you can do exactly the same thing with other directions. You were not ready.
The value of the building is as a multiplier of the net operating income, that's what a cap rate is. If people come back in and companies expand and renew their leases, that increases the value of the building and reduces the capital needed to recapitalize the mortgage.

And, bringing people back in, especially in the context of e.g. Amazon with thousand of workers, also has lots of knock on effects on other businesses, and there are plenty of copycats who follow the big seven tech companies.
Eh it was not just that, weev obviously had evil intent. (I wonder what's up with him now, last time I read his blog, he was posting neo-nazi posts from Ukraine)

Really? Have you got data on that? Everything I can find does show a drop, though difficult to disentangle from COVID. And certainly the original congestion charge produced a dramatic drop.

Always cool to see innovative solutions like this
It is worth noting that London has ~80% of the population of the Netherlands but is some 5 times smaller. That's very much apples to oranges.

Stricter low-emission zones result in fewer cars in the short term (because some subset of the existing cars no longer enter). In the longer term they might result in fewer cars because the initial car reduction brings other benefits (such as safer cycling/playing/whatevering and reduced congestion which benefits public transport).
Yes, commercial real estate is hurting but that is
only one component of the bigger picture.

Everyone in the surrounding area finds it desperately

bakeries etc.

All these people lose their jobs and for the small independent

all that,

Because Go only exists due to a trio that doesn't like C++, has fought against Java 20 years ago and lost (Inferno and Limbo), and is pretty much the atenthesis of the feature rich capabilities of Java, Kotlin and C++, the official Android languages.

They hit jackpot with Kubernetes and Docker taking off after their pivot to Go.
They are indeed beating around the bush.

What the end goal of these so-called opensource companies want is to have you use their "free" demo, but when you get slightly big and is somewhat locked in, or need some feature considered enterprise (coz you got bigger or have revenue), they extract a partial income stream off you.

This revenue model isn't bad per se, but why not just be upfront about it?

Look at unreal engine - their license explicitly states this. You give them some % of your revenue if it reaches $1 million or something like that. Why can't this be more normalized?
This. I blame the poorly chosen name. The phrase 'ultra-low emissions' suggests that only fancy-schmancy hybrids and EVs get to apply, when the truth is pretty much every street legal gasoline economy car made in the past 2 decades is compliant (it's Euro 4 and up, I believe).

The narrative that this ruling has been created by the rich elites to keep the poors out of London has been heavily pushed by some parts of the media, looking to curry favor.
That’s putting it on a pedestal which 4chan users always do. Just a lot of humble bragging. I can’t think of a single significant leak that has come from there over the last decade and a half, possibly before 2009. I would say less conscientious objectors and more contrarians. Less valuable views and more insidious, viral propaganda.

A good server is an emissary from the kitchen, who knows the menu, and helps you find the best dishes. A great server establishes rapport with the regulars, anticipates their needs, makes them feel welcome and comfortable.

Unfortunately "server" is not considered a respectable career but something you put up with before your film career takes off, or how you pay your college tuition for that juicy psychiatric nurse degree.

So nobody can be paid enough, or retained long enough, to care about customers or the food. So 25 years from now, the best server will be a Roomba with a prominent QR on its back.
Makes me wonder if he knows what LLVM does.

If I understand him correctly, if everything becomes a neural network then he expects most neural networks to use Tinygrad
True. It might be possible to obfuscate in various ways, e.g., by replacing each variable with k fresh variables and only caring about their sum. But this makes your instance bigger (thus more expensive) and is maybe undone anyway by all their clever presolve tricks.

One day homomorphic encryption will solve all of this properly, but my understanding is we're a long way from that.
