I'm not into them myself, but a lot of the ones that are struggling these days are the (non-chain) old man, football, working-class pubs in struggling towns.

I'm back visiting for the first extended period of time in a decade, and the bifurcation of the drinking/eating sector is striking. So many new fancy, up-market places with food, craft beer and eye-watering prices; so many shuttered old-school pubs.

It says a lot about where we are as a country.
pretty cool and works fine on Android too! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the newly acquired set of skills!
You have to feel that apple is missing out on buying into this investment as it will clearly become very valuable.
The original comment said nothing about modifying servers or AWS engineers installing random shit. That was you. I responded to "moving binaries around," and you started yapping about change management. Two totally different things. Like obviously if you have a locked down environment, then only install what you need. But this is not what the original poster was referring to specifically.

ripgrep even specifically calls out this exact use case right in its README: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/?tab=readme-ov-file#wh...

> You need a portable and ubiquitous tool. While ripgrep works on Windows, macOS and Linux, it is not ubiquitous and it does not conform to any standard such as POSIX. The best tool for this job is good old grep.

So, you presume too much friendo. Now, go away.
I swear I am going to, on my deathbed, say "gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office," just to stop this quote going around. In the last five years I've had a few conversations about regret with elderly relatives who have now passed away. None of them regretted going to work. My grandparents met at work. One regretted that she'd been a draftswoman rather than an engineer, but that's almost the exact opposite. I don't understand why people think doing good work that inspires pride and then getting paid for it is going to be some kind of horrible deathbed regret. It has literally never been a deathbed regret for anyone whose deathbed I have attended.

I understand that part of hn policy is that comment through should be getting more nuanced over time, but this seems like a bunch of zoomed out fuzziness that barely touches on any details.

The author makes all kinds of specific arguments that don't have anything to do with consensus, and the structure of the arguments is grounded on the inherent rightness or wrongness of interpretation of various rules, the existence are non-existent of copyright, the disproportionate and escalatory choices Matt has made, a whole host of specific arguments that don't have anything to do with where the consensus falls.

They do mention that Matt has appeared to have turned many in the community against him, but the arguments are pretty freestanding even if you want to set that aside, and there's also another interpretation other than manufacturing consent which is simply that it's a legitimate observation about what's really happening.

I can't say for sure, but there's so much more going on here that's more specific to the issue of right and wrong within zooming out and saying "gosh this sure is a lot of drama". I think if that's the level at what you're engaging in the conversation it's just making everything fuzzier.
That references the Latin phrase:

panem et circenses

Paragraph from a page describing it:

It refers to a concept prevalent in ancient Rome, where the government would provide its citizens with free food and entertainment in the form of lavish spectacles, such as gladiator fights, chariot races, and theatrical performances. The phrase highlights the strategy employed by the ruling class to keep the population content and distracted from important political issues and matters of governance.

Orwell and Huxleys work are both centralised (authoritarian - you had to take your Soma) whereas our current risk is possibly more systematic and less conspirational.
Reset the passwords that have been compromised rather than resetting them for no reason other than how long it's been since they were set up.
Even by the broadest possible definition of a breach, this is still just a control failure rather than a breach. The control that failed might have made it possible for Meta employees to perpetrate a breach, but the article makes no mention of that happening, or provides any suggestion that there is evidence that it might have happened.

At at least one point in my career, I have also accidentally mishandled password data (I accidentally leaked them into a log one time - well one time that I know of at least). When I did that I caused a control to fail, and I caused a security incident that required follow up remediation work (including password resets and disclosure), which is exactly what happened here. But I did not cause a data breach to occur. I struggle to image a world where I could have caused my employer to be fined $102M for that incident, and for that to be deemed a data breach, when there is no evidence (presented or referenced in this article at least) that a breach ever occurred. If I leave the office and forget to lock the door, I've caused a control failure. But if nobody comes in to rob us, then I haven't caused a robbery or a breach or anything else like that to occur, even if a typical security policy might require me to lock the door before leaving.

The creativity required to come to this conclusion doesn't do anything to improve the credibility of the GDPR, which from an outside perspective really doesn't look like anything other than an import tariff on foreign tech in disguise.
Bullet points are DHH's opinions about web development of late. Which are basically rallying against the perceived complexity of modern web stacks, either in the browser side (big JS frameworks, SPA and so on) and deployment side (big cloud providers and their sophisticated deployment schemes based on K8s).

Note that he's not exactly saying these things are bad per se -- his point being that they are not _necessary_ for most of us, and he subtly drops some criticism against the developer community for adopting them as as de facto standard. His logic is powerful: all that complexity is not necessary because Basecamp and Hey are the "monuments" that attest to that affirmation.

DHH positions RoR as "the one man web framework" by trying to sublimate all these points of view in a cohesive framework, throwing some jokes in between and with a great on stage presence that sometimes reminds of Steve Jobs (his tone of voice is strikingly similar)

I think it is slightly too long, but it's a great presentation although I'm not sure I agree with everything he says.
To me the the final dystopian level is data ownership.

It's already annoying to use your iPhone as a primary camera without paying for iCloud storage. Imagine if you could only view your own photos after you've paid $10/mo for the cloud service, and there would be no reasonable way to get your data out.
You're probably right about the motivation, but

Russia is very diverse and it's a huge oversimplification to reduce it to the cold parts. Just like America is not just California, Russia is not just Siberia.
Touch screens have never really worked well for me. they show contacts around my fingers, no contacts at all; or spurious touches when im some distance away. If I ground myself they work better, but still not well. NFI what could do that.
A shooting event in a school does not mean that all teachers were shot. There is a big difference between “something horrible happened at school” and “I was shot”. You cannot manipulate statistics this way. You have not shown that teachers are more likely to be victims of homicide than the general population.
The slippage between work and meaning is due to the arrival of post scarcity.

There isn't enough meaningful work to go around because work is still predicated on delivering some useful transformation. But when 80% of the useful transformations can be done by 20% of the people and we have enough to keep civilization going, you don't need full employment any more. But due to the moral hazard doctrine, the elites want to retain control and discipline as is.

For being afraid of a world where people don't care about maintaining the system anymore because it's not needed to house and feed everyone and people can just do art or learn or rest, the system keeps inventing meaningless work.

We're shipping fruit half way across the world to be packaged and then halfway back to be consumed. None of this is efficient or necessary. But it keeps the control system intact and that's the goal.
I don't see how your comment follows.

> that the AI field has somehow normalised the goalpost moving from capabilities all the way to definitions about open source

The problem is that Facebook and others are trying to move the goalpost, while others like me would like the goalpost to remain where it is, namely we call projects "Open source" when the required parts to build it on our own machines, is sufficiently accessible.

As I probably wouldn't be a developer in the first place if it wasn't for FOSS, and I spend literally all day long contributing to others FOSS projects and working on my own, it's kind of scary seeing these large companies trying to change what FOSS means.

I think you're forgetting about the intent and purpose of open source. The goal is that people can run software for whatever purpose they want, and they can modify it for whatever purpose. This is the intent behind the licenses we use when we "create FOSS".

This means, in practice, that the source code has to be accessible somehow, so the compiler I have on my computer, can build a similar binary to the one the project itself offers (if it does). The source code has to be accessible so I can build the project, but also modify it for myself.

Taking this idea that mostly only applied to software before (FOSS) but applying it to ML instead, it's clear to see what we need in order to 1) be able to use it as we want and 2) be able to modify it as we want.

> You can see the weights. You can change the weights. You can re-distribute the weights. It's open source.

Right. If I upload a binary to some website, you can see the binary, you can change the binary and you can re-distribute it. Would you say the binary is open source?

The weights are the binary in ML contexts. It's OK for projects to publish those weights, but it's not OK to suddenly change the definition and meaning of open source because companies want to look like they're doing FOSS, when in reality they're publishing binaries without any ways of building those binaries with your own changes.

Imagine if the Linux kernel was just a big binary blob. Yes, you can change it, re-distribute and what not, but only in a binary-blob shape. You'd be kind of out there if you insist on calling this binary-blob kernel FOSS. I'm sure you'd be able to convince some Facebook engineers about it, seems they're rolling with that idea already, but the rest of us who exist in the FOSS ecosystem? We'd still have the same goalpost in the exact same spot it's been for at least two decades I've been involved.

Back when I graduated, doing particle engines, with marching cubes and stuff like that, was a graduation thesis project.

Nowadays it is a check box on a game engine, one of many.

People don't imagine how good they have it with modern engines.

Not to take any value out of this work, this is a great achievement and kudos to the author, only making the point how good we have nowadays.
It's a good assumption though, because it keeps (in this case kept) closed the door to the absolutely nightmarish landscape of "multithreading to the masses". Those who made it open probably see it better, but, imo and ime, it should remain closed. Maybe they'll manage to handle it this time, but I'm 95% sure it's gonna be yet another round of ass pain for the world of python.
You'd need something like a 'stop' state, distinct from reset. The system power supply would have to release the STOP line to allow the computer to continue processing, and the power supply would also have to assert STOP on event of the power sagging below specified levels. Whether the power dropping is due to a user intentionally hitting a power switch, or the grid dropping out would be immaterial. 'STOP' simply prevents the computer from attempting to process when low voltage would cause unreliable logic. You'd still want RESET because from time to time you want the ability to put the system into a known state.
> If the builds are reproducible, what’s the issue?

Because they’re not! Many packages (including the kernel itself, python, gcc, et al.), are not reproducible. See https://reproducible.archlinux.org/
> If you aren't free to do what you want, you should be getting paid like you're at work.

You should be paid 2x - 3x when you're working overtime.

Honestly the more AI I use the more issues I find with it. Copilot chat is especially useless outside of anything basic.

Well as I said before, perception is downstream from the actions themselves. And attempting to reroute the conversation away from actions towards the phenomenon of how they're being perceived is, despite your protestation to the contrary, a way of reframing the conversation that focuses on something other than the merits of what he chose to do.
Exploiting the computationally expensive nature of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol an attacker can perform a denial-of-service (DoS) attack by sending arbitrary numbers as public keys to a target server forcing it to generate its public key, validate the peer's one, and compute the shared secret. All three operations require the computationally complex modular exponentiation which creates an asymmetric resource usage situation, which is the basis for overloading the server's CPU and rendering it unavailable. The attack is carried out with such a methodology called D(HE)at attack (CVE-2002-20001).
Show HN: I Made a Site for Designers to Gen Great Patterns Quickly, No Headaches
It was a crisp autumn evening when I found myself burning the midnight oil, yet again. As a graphic designer, I was knee-deep in a project that required intricate patterns for a client's new product line. The clock ticked mercilessly as I struggled with complex design software, trying to bring my vision to life.

That's when it hit me – why couldn't I just tell a computer what I wanted and have it create the pattern for me? Why did I need to wrestle with technical jargon and complicated prompts when I had a clear picture in my mind?

This revelation sparked a journey that would consume the next eight months of my life. I dove headfirst into the world of AI, determined to create a tool that could understand designers' needs in plain English. It wasn't easy – there were countless late nights, gallons of coffee, and moments of doubt. I experimented with various AI models, eventually settling on a combination of Stable Diffusion and Flux, fine-tuned to understand design language and generate beautiful patterns.

The result? AI Pattern – a game-changer for designers everywhere.

Here's what makes AI Pattern special:

1. Speak Your Mind: Just describe what you want in everyday language. No need for complex prompts or technical terms.

2. Lightning Fast: Generate stunning patterns in seconds, not hours.

3. Intuitive Interface: User-friendly design that feels like chatting with a creative assistant.

4. Endless Variety: From geometric to organic, abstract to realistic – if you can imagine it, AI Pattern can create it.

5. Customization Options: Tweak and refine generated patterns to match your exact vision.

Now, I'm thrilled to share AI Pattern with fellow designers and creative minds. It's more than just a tool – it's a partner in creativity, ready to transform your ideas into visual masterpieces.

I invite you to try AI Pattern and experience the joy of effortless pattern creation. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to refine and improve this design revolution. Together, let's push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of pattern design!

So, are you ready to turn your words into wonders? Give AI Pattern a spin and let your creativity soar!
That isn't useful to Apple though. Apple has a lot of money.

What Apple needs more than anything else is market differentiation. They need products, patents, ideas, etc that set their products apart from their competitors. Buying into OpenAI doesn't get them that (unless they outbid everyone else). Apple will be better off using their capital to invent AI of their own, or buying/investing in an OpenAI alternative.

Apple can use their market leverage to get OpenAI integration. They don't need to spend money.

I'm drawing attention to the irony inherent in both these cases. To wit, a study on dishonesty suffering from dishonesty, and a study on rigor suffering from lack of rigor.

And sure, mistakes in data analysis are entirely possible. But there are lines to be drawn, always. Ariely and Gino, and now Protzko, Krosnick and company are not in the category of reasonable and honest mistakes.

On the other hand, even something with widespread effects such as the mess Excel created for genetics papers is not something that most people would find as deliberate sabotage.

As this is certainly not a money issue it may be in relation to privacy issues found by the Apple due diligence team at some point. Fixable - let's do it. Not fixable - let's move on to something else.

40 bits per clock in a 8-wide core gets you 5 bits per instruction, and we have AVX512 instructions to feed, with operand sizes 100x that (and there are multiple operands).

Modern chips do face the memory wall. See eg here (though about Zen 5) where they in the same vein conclude "A loop that streams data from memory must do at least 340 AVX512 instructions for every 512-bit load from memory to not bottleneck on memory bandwidth."
The referenced paper "Simulating Ocean Water" talks about this in section 5. Indeed the FFT approach makes this difficult, where a different approach[1] for waves reflecting off obstacles.

That approach uses convolution, however you can perform convolution using FFTs[2], so perhaps there's some nice way to combine the two approaches.

edit: I just skimmed the papers, and it seems[1] does indeed mention combining the FFT approach with the convolution approach in the section on Ambient Waves.
