I will not argue with you about our health care. I agree it's a complete shit show. But to hide your plans as love for the country but just protecting your seat at the table is heinous.
Thank you for your feedback. I will do a better job crediting the creators. The content currently displayed is partly my own, created to showcase how the platform will function and appear once it’s fully launched. I will, however, make sure to clearly credit any third-party content where applicable moving forward.
As DIY-it grows, my goal is to have a platform where users can find and complete their own projects. The affiliate links help support the platform without impacting the experience or cost to users. I don't like how all blogs have a wall of ads ruining the flow of finding and working on projects.
I appreciate the input and will continue working to improve transparency on the site.

I don't understand why people say things that are kind of trivial to disprove, but here's the document with the notes where Apple refuses to use SPIR-V.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F6ns6I3zs-2JL_dT9hOkX_25...

> MS: Apple is not comfortable working under Khronos IP framework, because of dispute between Apple Legal & Khronos which is private. Can’t talk about the substance of this dispute. Can’t make any statement for Apple to agree to Khronos IP framework. So we’re discussing, what if we don’t fork? We can’t say whether we’re (Apple) happy with that.

Reading between the lines, it seems like Apple mainly doesn't want to implement SPIR-V because engaging with the "Khronos IP framework" would prevent them from suing other Khronos members over patent disputes.
Same question but about guns.
Restart markers aren't necessarily much more configurable than this proposal. Segmentation type 1 is basically identical to this proposal, except that the fixed number of scanlines in each segment is computed slightly differently. Segmentation type 0 just adds an offset array on top of that, but I can't tell if it's just to enable seeking, or if it's to allow multiple IDAT chunks within a single segment. If the latter is the case, I guess that would make it somewhat more complicated, though the author has suggested limiting the proposal to one type or the other.

Meanwhile, the error-recovery part isn't about a broken DEFLATE stream, it's about avoiding specially-crafted files that would produce one image if decoded using the restart markers, but another image if decoded without them. To prevent the usual issues with different tools yielding different results, this is made an error. But the PNG spec suggests that errors in ancillary chunks shouldn't ever be fatal:

> However, it is recommended that unexpected field values be treated as fatal errors only in critical chunks. An unexpected value in an ancillary chunk can be handled by ignoring the whole chunk as though it were an unknown chunk type. [0]

Therefore, the extension tells decoders to restart with sequential decoding in that case, instead of bailing out entirely.

Consumers can't pay. Part of the grift has been the concentration of capital in the hands of the highest wealth-holders, who all seem to have the same idea as to where to put their money (hence, uncomfortably, the bidding up of tech compensation to where it is now). So, no, you're not going to be able to Adobe/Autodesk-style price gouge. However, if you show customers the value proposition (generally some aspect of longevity or portability that prevents expensive upgrades or lock-in), they'll pay when they can. And until sanity returns to the economy, partnering with a credit facility of some sort might be wise (for you, not the customer).
Who pays for it?
If everybody gets all of the above for free, then why would they ever work and contribute to covering the cost of these free for everyone services?

Once a large number of people stop working, who actually works to grow the food? Who builds the houses?

That's not their job. CUDA wasn't "something developers cared about" for 11 fucking years and now look at where we are. If the OEMs focused on doing their job and implementing their standards, then neither of us would be trying to assign blame in the first place.

The worst part is, now that Apple has gone all-in on incomplete and proprietary alternatives, nobody has won. Apple successfully applied their monopoly abuse to a market that they have completely captive. And we want to blame... checks clipboard Intel and AMD, for having renewed interest in a successful decade-old concept.

There are so few corporations which build things to better the world and make money in the process.

99% of the corporations build things to earn money. Their wares sometimes do no harm, but it's the exception.

In many cases, the desire for money, not the need, is the driving force behind the technology. See n startups which are discussed here and categorized as "this is better as X. they're just trying to earn money with no real benefit to anyone".

Did Exxon hide their global warming research to benefit humanity? Of course not. Did Tetra Ethyl Lead added to gasoline instead of Ethanol, just because it was better? No because it was patentable and ethanol was not. Did WV created "better" diesel engines to benefit the humanity? No the engines were only "better" for their bottom line and problematic for every one. Did DuPont hid the effects of forever chemicals because it was beneficial/harmless to the nature? On the contrary.

Companies do whatever they can without breaking laws (or bending them with money) to earn more money. The products we get are side effects of it.

I like this take about current (Generative) AI hype:

The true purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill without allowing skill to access wealth.
-- jeffowski (at Twitter/X)
The article is fairly misleading. Despite claims to the contrary the list of facts is nothing more than "disconnected observations". They lack any serious context or nuance. For every single one it's possible to ask whether the observation is a fair comparison or something that should be the case. Take the number of second homes relative to France. Is more second homes a good thing? Take electricity production, might we not argue that the UK uses energy more efficiently rather than lagging what other countries generate?
There are places where police have been known to abuse ticketing for speeding.

I know a section of 322 in PA was once so abused, that the local police lost jurisdiction and the State Police took over patrolling that strip.

The first couple of years of her TV career are fictionalized in the HBO series Julia, though a lot of it is based on her extensive written correspondence to others. Her editor and her friends were interesting in their own right, as well.

I really recommend doing the following. I've done this for all three agencies I've built so far (all ~$200k revenue by one person after 1 year) and it has worked each time.

Sourcing: Find companies where people you know (or one step away) work that have a somewhat neglected website.

Ranking: Order them by ease of establishing contact and ease of design.

Lead magnet: Make a free design of their root page. Don't give them a reason to say no.

Initial reach out: Email them saying something like "Hi, I'm fresh out of X and are starting a web design agency. We know each other through person Y. I couldn't stop myself from starting on a bit of a design that I think you'll love! Here's what I've done so far. I'd love to design your website without charge, as I've recently started. etc."

If they don't answer, don't give up! It's not uncommon to get an answer after 3-4 emails. Sometimes people are just busy. Just always be friendly with humane communication and never spam!

After you've established some relationships, assuming you deliver good work, people will be more eager to pay. Especially if those initial relationships end up proliferating to others.

Utilizing the empty space around the notch is a clever idea! Thank you for building this.
All these guarantees are of the form "if (...) then: exactly once processing."

You'll find that, indeed, those assumptions must include ruling out permanent link failures.
Rust's main problem is that libc is effectively the system API on POSIX. There's a major barrier to interacting with other libraries, particularly safely. There's also a ton of C++ libraries, like Qt, which aren't easy to do FFI bindings for.

The kernel has its own set of API primitives because it can't use user space libraries. That means the ecosystem is tiny, and rust can bring its unique advantage when experimenting with secondary languages in the kernel.

Could you explain what this means? I've been using Quickbooks for both myself and clients for many years and never heard this term. Quickbooks does support classes (multiple columns on your P&L and Balance Sheet within the same company file), is that what you mean?

I'm also pretty sure that QB Enterprise supports multiple currencies, purchase orders, and some of the other stuff you mention, but I haven't worked with that version of QB recently. It also has inventory support that is more sophisticated than the basic support in QB Premier.
Get out of here with this lie. Before the disaster, nuclear proponents cited Fukushima as an example of how safe modern nuclear was.
It's often slightly more expensive to book direct but if you want to e.g. buy extra baggage at a discounted online rate (i.e. not an airport mugging), there is no guarantee that a third party will have a UI for that.

Does anyone here know, has anyone tried something like feeding the perplexity of previous tokens back into the model, so that it has a way of knowing when it's going off the rails? Maybe it could be trained to start responding less confidently in those cases, reducing its desire to hallucinate.
I'm not sure how to convince you to get over your hangup around how other people feel about the word "delivery", but this is exactly why others distinguish between "delivery" and "processing". If you think there are better terms than those two to describe "the system that receives a message and must be responsible for de-duplication" and "the system that can rely on messages being already de-duplicated", then feel free to propose them and have people debate, that I suppose. But because of what I noted earlier, this is a very useful distinction to maintain for people working on systems that are responsible for de-duplication (likely most people on this forum), and these words seem to make sense for most individuals.

While not denying in any way that this sort of thing is a real problem, I think you're overstating differences between the UK and "the rest of the world".

Although zoning in the USA does work to a degree as you say ("must be approved if you ..."), in reality lots of projects that seem as if they ought to be a sure thing for approval face years of process-based objections from local groups, leading to them never being built at all, or having to be significantly revised due to changes demanded or created by circumstances shifting.

Ah right, I was thinking of the Vulkan vs GL SPIRV flavours.

I don't think it's much of a problem though. I cannot run a WASM blob compiled for the web in a WASI runtime either, or an x86 executable compiled for Windows on Linux. Heck, I can't even run an executable compiled for one Linux distro on another Linux distro if the glibc library versions don't overlap.
I purchased my first one in the early 00s, and while I don't use it anymore, I have kept it because I love the engineering that went into it. I also had the opportunity once to talk to Michael on the phone, but did not know it was him at the time. I was inquiring how to get data off the ext port to correlate with GPS data, before Waze reporting was a thing (I was trying to create a historical speed trap map in my locality). He was knowledgable, but also patient and kind with my unsophisticated questions.

A good engineer has left, that's the story, and that is sad.
All the economic evidence of risk homeostasis, and general consistency around the subject, suggests your preferences writ large are at odds with and part of a battle with human nature. That's fine for an opinion but the implications are pretty dire for interventions - like squeezing a balloon there will inevitably be side effects.

Not trying to diminish the consequences of said risks.

A successful strategy probably involves accounting for and maybe even improving the competing economic interests rather than picking one and stifling it.
It's worth noting that the benchmark has not been updated as frequently for the past several years, and some versions of compressors are quite far behind the current implementations (http://www.mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html#history).

The one instance I double-checked (zstd) I don't recall it making a massive difference, but it did make a difference (iirc, the current version was slightly smaller than what was listed in the benchmark).
Yes that's much better (i.e. more convincingly human), if still a bit disjointed.

Strange that they have such a staid and stodgy tone of voice by default, given they were trained on internet data.

I think it’s definitely more of a republican “issue” because their constituency of older Americans which lean pretty heavily republican are in up in arms over it. Democrats are more ho-hum about it, but probably see it as a net positive rather than a “you shall not pass!”moment

It's my personal preference and it has worked for me in the last 25 years, but everybody's different and it might not work for everybody.

Note that doing nothing does not necessarily mean that you relax. Working at home at your own moderate pace might make you recover faster. But again, what works well for somebody might not work well for someone else.
Ah yea, this makes sense. Thanks.
I get being appalled at the waste involved. But that waste was cheaper than the customs duties they would otherwise have had to pay. In other words, all that appalling waste was more efficient than the duties would have been.

To put it another way, I believe that you should be even more appalled at the waste that the customs duties would have imposed.
Indeed, and additionally, I was specifically talking about technical issues, not organizational issues. "Should we adopt this tech or not?" kind of stuff. Examples I'm sure we can all relate to: desktop environments, systemd, pulseaudio, programming languages, github/lab vs mailing lists. Lots of religious debates come up to separate out from legitimate technical concerns.

Organizational issues are a whole other ballgame. I can see how my original comment was not specific enough about this.
I'm far from an expert on this but I think the answer is "very far". At least, depending on your definition of "advanced".

Making chips at home? Totally doable, especially if you count using FPGA's. But people have actually manufactured fairly primitive chips in DIY settings if memory serves.

But "real" modern, advanced chips? My understanding is that for the very highest end chips, the machinery needed to fabricate them is made by like one company in the entire world, costs millions (if not billions) of dollars, and takes proper "clean room" environments, probably massive amounts of electricity, and probably way more space than a DIY'er would have access to.
The main issue in the UK is the ridiculous circle of environmental impact assessments, and statutory consultees.

The list of organisations that can by law be required to be consulted on any development is insane:

Environental impact assessments now run to millions of pages. Every big infra planning application tries to anticipate any possible complaint, and the whole cost balloons.
It's just a question of semantics. For communists, socialism is just a necessary phase on the way to communism, and communist claim that communism is the highest possible model as "everybody would receive what they need".

The people living in the so-called Socialist Republics would disagree, especially those whose property was seized by the government - and the rest who had limited property rights.

When people nowadays talk about socialism, they might mean something like the Nordic Model although these countries are not really socialist. The actual socialism in Eastern Europe was gloomy and the countries that manage to escape it are grateful it's ended and are growing fast.

There is nothing inherent or natural about that scenario, it is all due to the failure to properly design electricity markets.

It would be nice to also have a competition of this type where within ressonable limits the size of the compressor does not matter and the material to be compressed is hidden and varied over time.

You're assuming that it would depress wages, which is not necessarily true. A more likely scenario is that such a thing can slightly depress wages in low-skill, low in-demand jobs but is more likely to slightly increase wages in high-skill, high in-demand jobs. Companies that are growing and want to be the best and are flush with cash will happily pay premium wages to premium employees based on salary data. Other companies won't. So that's the big difference between the two companies. The "collusion" doesn't necessarily cause lower wages, that's just a big assumption that some people are making. Whereas RealPage was specifically touting and actively encouraging increasing rents.
