Not everyone agrees.

Yann LeCun (Vice-President, Chief AI Scientist at Meta):

AI datacenters will be built next to energy production sites that can produce
gigawatt-scale, low-cost, low-emission electricity continuously.

Basically, next to nuclear power plants.

The advantage is that there is no need for expensive and wasteful
long-distance distribution infrastructure.

Note: yes, solar and wind are nice and all, but they require lots of land
and massive-scale energy storage systems for when there is too little sun
and/or wind. Neither simple nor cheap.

The problem isn't limited to people learning frameworks instead of languages; I work with developers who don't know the network stack at all - no concept (beyond the bare basics) of how their code gets from a server to a browser and the steps between and the related technology. When I ask things like "does the server support HTTP/2 or /3" or "can you setup a local certificate so we can use https for localhost" I almost invariable get blank stares (or long pauses on Teams/Slack) and a question in reply: "Where do I look for that?"
Also odd was the comparison to France, considering that France's great depression was arguably much less severe than in the UK, as it experienced less industrial decline, less unemployment and no financial crisis.

Cool, thanks for the link. I wonder how much of Automattic's board is made up of Matt's personal friends. He'd best hope it's a majority.
There are multiple factors that limit the number of writes that FRAMs can handle: changes in crystal structure as Ti ions replace O, mobile ions collecting at grain boundaries, and something to do with 90º domains.
Sure, but it seems like the anti-AI sentiment is that it is all completely worthless. The point is, there will be a lot of failures, but not some complete industry collapse where we enter another AI winter, so stop investing. There will be some winners.
Is this going to murder those fancy shell scripts that self-extract a program appended to the tail, which is really just an encoded blob of some kind, presumably compressed, etc.. ???
In a very specific technical sense, it could be argued that it doesn't — the data for GitHub forks (i.e. their branches and the commits of such) is actually stored within the base repo forked from.

In other words, by forking something on Github, you're not distributing anything; rather, the original org is now distributing an additional thing you made — your fork branch[es].

This is the source of many confusing things about the security of GH forks; and the source of some recent GH vulnerabilities.

Also, if you're curious, this isn't a meaningless "implementation-level distinction", as it has semantic implications for repo management: it means that the branch attached to a PR coming from a fork repo continues to exist in the base repo, even if the fork repo that that branch originated from gets deleted. Because that branch was always "in" the base repo to begin with; the PR just changed the branch's GH ACLs to make it accessible to the owners of the base repo.

(Really, the "fork repo" itself is an illusion — it's like a SQL view. There's only the base repo, which contains both regular branches, and user-fork-namespaced branches. This is in part why forks can't be private; they're just a view of resources in another repo, already security-controlled by that other repo; so they can't have their own additional security logic acting on those same resources!)
I'll try anything to get rid of realtors. They're the worst form of rent seekers, and it requires no real skill or training other than a certificate that I could purchase with a highschool diploma, taking one class, and passing a multiple choice exam.

It's not open source. however I like it. I wish closed source licenses were more of a thing. as it is, our software tends to fall under two two extremes very liberal open source. closed build artifact only. with very little in the middle.

I think a "here is the copyrighted(with all that implies) source for you to compile on your machine" software distribution would be a great middle ground. but it is a thing you normally only see on large screwball enterprise contracts. because the normal practice of here is the compiled build artifact really sucks when trying to trouble shoot why it is not working on your machine.
This is the license equivalent of a specific automotive spare part for an old car where the dealer asks $1300 for it just to say they don't want to stock and sell those. "Yeah, it's available, sure, but...you don't want it."
The defamation angle is not interesting.

They are pretty clear they will go after them for torturous interference, unfair competition, etc.

California's UCL is much broader than you may think here - it is consistently interpreted very broadly by california courts, and has fairly low requirements (IE fraudulent business practices under the UCL do not have meet the same requirements as fraud)
Oh, for sure - I've done some of that myself - but I would never associate the word "firehose" with such low-powered systems!
thank you. at first I thought this was akin to the dropped cheetos in the cave story from a while back but then I remembered I had read about this dropping of tons of peels story before years ago.
As if a tech CEO would ever speak the truth like that.

Getting smart young people to contribute to Linux Distros (and BSD for that matter) to me is a tough job.

Linux kicked off in the 90s because young people at that time wanted a real OS, so Linux came out and people flocked to improve it.

Today, almost all kids use Cell Phones, which are all locked down. I think only a few young kids rely on PCs, thus the issue. I hope it can be solved at some point and good contributors can be found. Otherwise we will be left with just IBM Red Hat.

Dave Thomas, one of the creators of the agile manifesto, has a talk where he expresses his disappointment with consultants twisting the manifesto into a cult-like industry.

He calls this the agile industrial complex and says that anyone using agile with capital A is not referring to the manifesto but the industry and are selling you that.

The header files all say it's GPL 2. But yes, they should have a license file at the top level.
The first generation of open source devs did it for fun and ideological reasons. Back then, before any of the big tech companies even existed (except Microsoft, who was widely hated) software was not a highly paid profession, more in line with being a CPA, so people looking to maximize their earning potential weren't in the field at all. Those people did finance back then.
HTML5 was born in an era of decent HTML authoring tooling. Very few people write HTML by hand nowadays. This was not true of earlier versions.

Also note that HTML5 codified into liberal acceptance some of the "lazy" manual errors that people made in the early days (many of which were strictly and noisily rejected in XHTML, for example).

FRAM is like magnetic core memory in many ways, but the underlying principle is completely different: it is ferroelectric rather than ferromagnetic. And the materials are completely different.
I took a class called Computer Architecture in 2019 that was half Armv7 assembly programming. The tests were handwritten. It set me up for so much success in my subsequent career of embedded flight software.

I have also never again reached the high water mark of my programming life, which happened in that class - entering a 10-second ascended state and writing a 60-line complex assembly function in one go, no backspaces, no changes, and it working perfectly.

NWN’s website says their first facility went online in 2022 so the 2019 report would tell them nothing and the 2022 report next to nothing.

They also partnered with BP (wearing a disguise called Archaea, because Deepwater Horizon ruined their name) but they only have one facility listed in Oregon so far, and a few in Washington.

Our pricing is negotiable. What we're seeing so far is that >95% of homes are still offering full 2.4% buyer agent concessions in the bay area.

Our main service is our texting service which you would text as if it was a normal realtor and it can get you market comparisons, schedule tours by texting agents, asking about if there's offers on homes, etc.

Blockers for getting humans out of the loop is primarily just user trust. It's quite simple to pull APIs that get specific data and text people and fill forms, but real estate agents have a very high CAC problem, due to this trust issue and competition.

MVP has completed 1 escrow via text bot, we got paid 27k, another home went into escrow yesterday, 35 clients touring homes with us. We registered with our real estate brokerage in July.
I loved the M.C. Escher museum. The art-deco decor of the building is on display nearly as much as Escher’s work.

Companies are between a rock and a hard place here ... my wife and I have explicit details for how to hand over and/or take over each other's accounts.

So questions for people here:

* Do you have a plan?

* Do you use any third-party services?

I'm really surprised there aren't a bunch of secondary by-products created from the peels. Obviously there is always going to be some waste, but you'd think they'd extract all the oils and stuff first.
I had the same thought. For all the talk of lowering barriers... should we really be surprised that unpaid labor is hard to find?

Maybe if I were independently wealthy I would spend my time contributing to Debian.
Yeah, those numbers are correct as of their testing (in June) although people who are really interested should check out the linked repo and do their own runs as software/optimizations have continued to change a lot and the RDNA3 side has a lot of untapped potential. Eg, the 7900 XTX has a huge theoretical FLOPS advantage over the 3090 but the results totally don't reflect that. One example of this hobbling is that RDNA3 only recently got backpass FA via a still under-optimized aotriton implementation: https://github.com/ROCm/aotriton/pull/39

There are also still ongoing optimizations on the Nvidia side as well. In the beginning of the year the 7900 XTX and 3090 were pretty close on llama.cpp inference performance, but a few months ago llama.cpp got CUDA graph and FA support implemented that boosted perf significantly for both my 3090 and 4090.

(For AI/ML, a used 3090 remains I think the best bang/buck for both inference and small training runs. You can pay twice as much for the twice as fast 4090, but at the end of the day you'll still wish you had more VRAM, so it's hard to really recommend unless you're going to use mixed precision. The RDNA3 cards are not as bad to work with as the Internet would have you believe, but they'd have to be a lot cheaper if your main use case was AI/ML for both the PITA factor and just from pure real-world performance.)
In recent years not so rare.

Americans killed directly by the IDF:

- Mar 16 2003: Rachel Corrie

- May 11 2022: Shireen Abu Akleh killed, very in a likely targeted attack

- Sep 6 2024: Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, also likely targeted

And 2 American teenagers recently killed by settlers (who act as an extension of the Israeli government):

- Jan 19 2024 - Tawfic Hafeth Abdel Jabbar, 17 - [0]

- Feb 10 2024 - Mohammad Khdour, 17 - [1]

Meanwhile we have some 31 American citizens killed by Hamas since Oct 7 - [2]

The numbers are quite different. However it is deeply significant that Israel is supposed to be one of America's top allies (and the US is definitely Israel's "bestie" by far), yet its government has obfuscated and/or outright lied about a 5 incidents above. And except for Corrie, all 4 were shot in the head.

I'm a junior, currently trying to get an internship and subsequent job.

I envy anyone that can do what you do. At the moment it feels like the industry is a cult, only looking for people that make tech and programming their entire life.
I don't even mind the requirements, I have a work ethic and want to perform well,
but the expectations seem higher than ever.

I'm looking forward to finally having enough job security for a hobby that doesn't involve staring at computer screens (hoping to get into metal work soon).

I was there too, and I disagree completely. Microsoft was not just ruthless, they were ubiquitous. They sabotaged any perceived competitors in anticompetitive, market- and industry-damaging ways.

You (the generic "you") can complain all you want about Apple today, but you have another perfectly viable option. And Apple is (almost-entirely) happy to grow market share on merits without salting the earth of any rivals.

In Microsoft's heyday, that was not true. Those of us who rejected MS back then did so at a much higher cost than green chat bubbles.

It was worth it though. And we did win, eventually.
Probably like Arecibo, by moving the collector around in relative to the reflector material. To be honest though aiming the mirror is way down their list of problems to solve to make this work. They basically want to create several brand new industries in an inhospitable environment with little to no payoff. It is hard to see a path to success in any reasonable timeframe.
Awesome! Moreover, I love how hyperknot is engaging with the people and the feedback :) This is super inspiring.
For me personally, exercising makes me wake up multiple times at night and makes it hard to go back to sleep. I already never exercise after 6:00pm, it still happens. Any thoughts why?

Google does not miss one single opportunity to miss an opportunity.

They announced a price reduction but it "won't be available for a few days". By the time, the initial hype will be over and the consumer-use side of the opportunity to get new users will be lost in other news.
yeahnah, I totally feel your pain.
I don't think that's exactly fair. I took a few years between high school and college, it's surprising how much basic math skills I forgot how to do. Now, it was simple to relearn that information, but if you asked me at that time how to convert 12/13 to decimal I probably wouldn't be able to do better than a rough approximation.
> It also makes things like using websocat and unix pipes to build some kind of automation a lot harder

Would anybody realistically be using those tools with this volume of data, for anything but testing?
I had this idea, it’s cool someone ran with it. I can see how “AI” can work the deal.

Back in the summer of 1999 while I was in college, we were the first house to use MP3's at our parties. Most houses used a CD disc shuffler which usually consisted of a bunch of scratched and smudged discs, so their music skipped all the time.

We went all digital. We were ahead of our time.

The parties were in the basement. We'd lock the computer up in a spare bedroom - ran the wires and speakers out to the main basement area.

We used Winamp on shuffle.

Hours of music without a single skip, without us having to babysit the music.

Thank-you Winamp for the great memories.
> China folks are more hungry than most in the west

This is a big part, but China also has a different economic model where they can plan ahead and invest for long term scenarios and strategies.

Shareholder value maximization maybe wasn't the optimal way to structure the economy after all.
For anyone who wants to support a proper legacy I recommend backing the WACUP project.

It's based on the winamp3 code, that Winamp did open source, and then the closed source parts are being re implemented.
If you were using a dial-up modem and sending raw data -- extremely common -- then sending +++ATH0 would cause most modems to hang up.

If you could get that sent over to someone else, their session would be abruptly terminated.

(Hayes patented requiring a no-data-sent time between the +++ and the ATH0. Avoiding the patent but being otherwise compatible introduced the vulnerability. In-band signalling is usually bad.)
What about the much, much larger number of people who got vaccinated and never suffered from brain fog?

> After performing over 100 interviews, I can say that interviewing is thoroughly broken. I also have no idea how to actually make it better.

I resonate with this greatly. I'm in the middle of applying for jobs, and I try to put myself into the recruiter's shoes. At the end of the day, I don't blame recruiters for the calls they make (e.g. ghosting, denying for $REASON).

When you are supposed to interview a potential software dev, how are you going to differentiate the people you should invest into from the ChatGPT extension? How do you know whether the person actually worked at $FAANG_COMPANY for 3 years? Don't forget the other 78 people that also applied for the job.

Yes, modern pesticides degrade. Farmers keep very detailed spray records and fields have essentially "lock out, tag out" times after certain spray applications. Other sprays can't be applied X number of days before harvest, because the application's degradation isn't complete. After harvest, produce who's skin is consumed, like apples, go through a "drencher" and later "dump tank", to perform more washing of the produce's skin.
I'd have to find them again... one that really stands out was simply studying the stories of people claiming to remember past lives and looking to see the spacial distribution of where those memories seemed to occur relative to where the person lived- and finding that they followed some interesting patterns.
Barring the ton of licensing stupidity ongoing (maybe they'll fix it, who knows), as far as I know you could actually do that by forking the repo and then connecting your fork to bountysource. Open an issue for each target OS, set the amounts, and then publicize that fact on as many social media channels as you have access to

However, I wanted to draw your attention to "are you asking the right question" because there's a very real chance that the things you actually love about Winamp would not carry over to any such ports, since it's not "recompile and get the Winamp on Windows experience" - they would be Gnome and macOS apps, behaving similar to other such apps
I apologize if this is something stupid, or answered elsewhere, but is there a good way to trim Planet down to a smaller area?

I've been making some custom map stuff for mountain bike trails and I'd really like to move to self-hosted vector tiles for all layers, but too much of what I find says to start with Planet.osm when all I really need is a State (in the US) or even a few-miles-wide area.

(My goal is to basically snapshot OSM data, generate tiles, and use that until I decide to do another snapshot down the line, so the underlying data doesn't change. And limit it to a small area because that's all I need.)

Examples of maps I've done this way, and want to improve, are: https://trailmaps.app/ramba/ and https://trailmaps.app/dte/
