> We saw in the cold war how the US system had to prove itself and that led to a strong taxation on the wealthy, good institutions, positive movement for the middle class, all to show the Russians that the US led system is the best.

I don't think anyone sane thinks that Russians or Chinese masses have it better in economic terms. In fact, the message of Russian propaganda including its American extension is that everything sucks everywhere.
The easy way to mostly deal with the lens glare is use one of the background environments that's dim rather than black. It's the high contrast the entire time that really makes it visible.

Can you walk me through the steps? Gmail doesn't let you create a filter which sends to the spam box. There used to be, but it was taken away. I know because I used it a lot.

Even if the feature was still there, it was still received instead of rejected, and it only moves the offending mail to the spam box instead of deleting it.
Actually, it does. You can turn on the transcription feature from the bottom right corner and even type to Ichigo if you want. We didn’t show it in the launch video since we were focusing on the verbal interaction side of things.
Good job!! Can’t wait to give it a go. Since you started work on this 10 years ago, has anything like it emerged in the Node ecosystem? What is most similar framework to Citizen right now and what makes it different?
Humans also engage in quadrupedal locomotion, often at any speed and sometimes up stairs too.

Also, I see both of my dogs standing on 2 legs every day, often walking short distances like that. According to wikipedia this only happens when they are trained to do it (?!) but we never trained them and they've been doing it since a few months old. Maybe I should update https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipedalism to indicate training may not be required for temporary bipedal behavior in some dogs.
>> How does the caller know whether the response was empty because of an invalid session id ?

Documentation and how SQL database queries work.

The documentation states that a valid session id will return a SessionInfo struct (since it is an Option the type is Some(SessionInfo) ), and that an invalid session id will return None.

If the SQL query is something like "SELECT * FROM USER_SESSIONS WHERE USER_SESSION_ID = $1" then if an invalid session id is provided the database returns zero rows. The query was successful, but there were no matching sessions with that session id.

>> You have conflated empty response with an erroneous situation. The simplest solution is just Result<T, E>.

Again, an empty response is not an error in this situation. If your database query returns zero rows, is it an error? The database query succeeded. There are no sessions with the provided session id. What error occurred?
Just curious how tall are you? At 6'3 I thought I'd never learn that skill.
I was wrong: It was "implode" in Maclisp.

(compress (reverse (explode 'ABC)))
;COMPRESS UNDEFINED FUNCTION OBJECT

(implode (reverse (explode 'ABC)))
CBA

The point being that I never learn any fancy string-processing commands. I just implement explode and compress.

> In tabling it's still by resolution so you can still get stuck in infinite loops, e.g. on infinite right-recursions. I think maybe that's more similar to UNION ALL?

Must be. With UNION you can't end up with an infinite loop unless you have infinite data (or you're implementing a table-valued Ackermann function and so you have... not infinite results but for all practical intents, yeah).

Ask HN: What's your Mac OS App side project?
I'm curious if any HN'ers here have any fun mac os projects they've built or even have an income from? I feel like we hear a lot about saas and iphone apps, but not mac os apps as much. I have a mac os app idea, and I'm also wondering if anyone knows of a good book on building a mac os app business? Or perhaps a book on building an iphone app company would be sufficient and applicable to mac os?
I'd chime in on a somewhat lesser known part of networks that in practice the real determinant of performance: congestion control. The effects can be on the scale of an order of magnitude or two. The problem of how decentralised nodes in a network can use finite network resources optimally is fundamentally unsolvable (proved by Jaffe, intuitively nodes never have perfect information). Most congestion control algos use a congestion window (the amount of data in-flight) to limit themselves, this window is divided at a packet loss (aka congestion event) and increased when a successful round trip is made (in modern algorithms logarithmically if below a steady state assumption, cubic if above). There's a general consensus that these algorithms perform extremely poorly on long, fat networks because size of window growth depends on the round trip. Put another way, increasing bandwidth far from directly improves throughput. Latency in worst case is limited by the speed of light, and is in the order of the 150ms to 250ms range in the time it takes for light to travel alone. So there are fundamental limits on the latency that Starlink can provide.

Some back of the envelop calculations = it takes about 7ms in extra latency to travel up and down to the satellite vertically on a round trip, and modeling fiber optic vs starlink as two spheres of different radii starlink will take ~16% more time. Performance will be also extremely affected by the reliability of the medium ie packet loss from errors transmitting through the atmosphere vs fiber optic. Most congestion controls believe latency and packet loss comes from congestion and will aggressively back off. When I tested this on my own 866Mbps WiFi network with iperf and linux qc, with a 100ms latency and 1% packet loss my throughput was 1.86Mbps. At 5ms latency and 0.01% packet loss it was 58Mbps.

> Every time you see the government give another $110 million contract to Deloitte for building a website that doesn’t work, or a healthcare.gov style debacle, or SFUSD spending $40 million to implement a payroll system that - again - doesn’t work, you are seeing politics beat substance.

Dismissing it as politics beating substance is not useful, since there is so little substance present. Figuring out which of the bidders is incompetent is non-trivial when what they do is far from your expertise, and if it's close to your expertise, you wouldn't be hiring outsiders to do it. I have heard similar things coming from DOTs where, when the infrastructure is something that hasn't been done this generation, they get bent over a barrel by the contractors.

TL; DR: when people who can't write software hire other people to write software for them, what non-political signal do they have to separate the sheep from the goats?

I do think that could be academic dishonesty depending on what came out of ChatGPT and how it was used. But it depends.

Let's also be perfectly clear that "Can you help me with homework about X" is probably not the question actually being asked. We know that these questions are just being pasted in verbatim. That is absolutely academic dishonesty.

This case is a little different. But let's not pretend that teachers in many subjects areny being taken advantage of and screwed over by these tools and students willing to use them. I'm sure they are all frustrated and willing to jump the gun against the slightest sign of this sort of thing. Tragedy of the commons situation, it's going to ruin academic culture in the US imo if there aren't extremely strict rules laid down and quickly.

Silly question. Can you do a "drive by". In other words not slow down. How much time you need to "take the photo". I am using terms like Randall in Thing Explainer here!!

Maybe it has further missions in deep space after that. Or look in other directions and use other stars.
When even the NYT is critical of your DEI program you should probably rethink it.
>Pretty soon most students are going to be say "Hey Siri, help me with my homework it's about X" and get an AI answer - are they all academically dishonest?

I mean, it doesn't matter in the long run since academia will be as entirely AI driven as education soon enough, and the entire concept of "academic integrity" will be nothing but a quaint atavism from the days when the human in the loop was actually relevant, but yes.
Sure! Never thought about it, Would add one soon.

What other features would you love to use?
GPU "infinity" cache would increase 3D performance and there's a rumor that AMD removed it to make room for the NPU. They're not out of ideas for features to put on the chip.
More succinctly, yes, most successful people do what they love but that doesn’t mean that most people who do what they love will be successful.
Is there demand? Or do they just assume there is?

If they shove it in every single product and that’s all anyone advertises, whether consumers know it will help them or not, you don’t get a lot of choice.

If you want the latest chip, you’re getting AI stuff. That’s all there is to it.

You should mention that it’s for web sites, not desktop applications.

The custom price is wrong and should be >50k (greater than).

You should add whether you’re sending source code to any AI because most web tools do that nowadays.

You should add some terms of service that we can read before doing anything else.
Messes with timing, among other things. A lot of those structures are relatively fixed blocks that are designed for specific sizes. Signals take more time to propagate longer distances, and longer conductors have worse properties. Dense and hot is faster and more broadly useful.

I write this while on a United IAD-SFO direct (a bit over 5 hours), sipping a scotch on the rocks.

I've gotten the AVP demo at Apple HQ 3 times now, twice before release day. I really like it, can't imagine dropping $5000 of my own cash on it. Maybe for V2. I had a similar reaction to the Airpods Max. V2 is here. Meh. In this case, my boss has indicated we can get a few for testing, but the check's still in the mail. I have a certified-for-actual-flight-training VR system next to my desk at the office and have used that more than anyone else in the office that I'm aware of. So despite some of the most compelling, hard, spatial problems on Earth, medicine and national defense - everything from protein docking to casualty evacuation in contested environments, I'm hanging tight for now.

Uh did I say anything of the sort?

When the Cold War was going on the communist system was initially out producing and out maneuvering the US but eventually the fallacy of a communist (and subsequently fascist takeover of the government) made it inevitable that it was going to fail.

However during this fight between the two powers, the US saw great advances in the prosperity and rights of its middle class. As the USSR started to fall, we saw the beginnings of corporate takeover of all layers of the US government and it really accelerated after the USSR fell. You are making this argument that the US had it so good while ignoring how it got so good and also failing to acknowledge why it has declined so much over the last few decades. If you don't buy my argument then I challenge you to provide an alternative explanation.
I'd have to agree. And honestly, even if the kid didn't admit to using AI, if they were using AI as a source and not citing it, then it was a failing paper regardless, as certainly one of the requirements was to cite sources.

If I was handling this, I'd treat it the same as if somebody just copy pasted some text off Google search and didn't cite. I'm not sure I'd give the student a 0. But it wouldn't be a good grade and I'd have to read the paper to see the extent to which Id agree it rises to the level of cheating.

"Triton" here is apparently a programming language, which upstream describes as

> This is the development repository of Triton, a language and compiler for writing highly efficient custom Deep-Learning primitives. The aim of Triton is to provide an open-source environment to write fast code at higher productivity than CUDA, but also with higher flexibility than other existing DSLs.

So if you clicked in expecting the illumos-based virtualization platform, this isn't that. Though

> This is the basis for torchao, which crucially changes some large models from "can't run" to "can run" on consumer GPUs. That's easier than supporting them in other quantization frameworks, or letting the consumers use Linux or WSL

1) Taste is very overrated, IMO. Too much gratification in our society.
2) SALTY is a taste. Once you remove salt and give it a few weeks, you will start finding about tastes you didn't know existed.
3) Once you cook your own food from scratch using quality and healthy ingredients , what you find tasty can change. It has in my case.
This is pretty great. PyTorch uses triton as the backend for torch.compile (the big feature of PyTorch 2.0, and the necessary part for making Flex Attention in the about to be released 2.5 usably fast).

Triton's team doesn't support Windows, and, worse yet, does not accept community PRs to enable any sort of support.

Here's the github issue: https://github.com/triton-lang/triton/issues/1640

And here's the performance comparison of Flex Attention with and without torch.compile (tldr it's 3x slower than a standard MHA when not compiled): https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/blob/76e9a9ec02a1...

EDIT: after taking a look at the repo, the only thing changed in the "46 commits ahead of [official triton]" is the README. Somewhat sketchy.

You know how when your hand is relaxed, your fingers are curled?

When birds relax, their feet curl in a similar way, and this provides enough grip that if they're on a perch, they will automatically hold on as easily as if they're awake.

There's a bit more to it, as the way the tendons in their feet and legs are attached, the foot will automatically grasp when the ankle is bent, so it's a much stronger grip than our floppy relaxed fingers would provide. Here's a quick rundown with a good gif illustrating how it works. https://windycityparrot.com/birds-sleep-standing-one-leg/ They also have an extra balance organ between their hips that help them sray upright, so the whole anatomy lends itself to sleeping like this.

Additionally, when we're awake and moving, we're constantly on our feet, so our feet and legs will get tired and need a rest. However, our arms don't generally get tired just from walking around, right?

Birds are the opposite. They spend a lot of time flying, and their feet are mostly relaxed and resting while they're in the air. It's the wings and chest muscles that get tired.

So sleeping on their feet has a whole other connotation to them.

Even if Israel gets rid of settlements in the West Bank, even If Israel goes back to pre-1967 borders, the Israel-Palestine conflict will not end. That's because Palestinians want a one-state solution, along with the return of Palestinian refugees, both the first gen and their descendants--and that's the real solution from the Palestinian side. Israel is never going to accept the real Palestinian solution.
Australia has a base load problem that causes energy prices to become negative during the day when solar production is at it’s peak. Part of this is that the coal plants cannot readily be switched off during the day, and end up producing energy when it isn’t needed. Because we do not yet have the ability to store the amount of energy we use in the evening, we still need the coal plants at night.

Hence why this is good news to us, this can actually reduce emissions and energy prices at the same time. We can basically rely on renewables during the day if the coal plants can be turned off during peak solar generation. Otherwise we might have relied on natural gas as that can ramp up and down faster.

Keep in mind that this is one operator of some plants that is doing this while shifting to a renewable focus because of exactly the economic reasons outlined in the article. The ability to run plants to zero helps them save money and incidentally reduces emissions while they shift focus to the new energy market.

Australia is in the process of shutting down coal fired plants but increasing energy use has meant that the aging plants need to be run longer while we transition technologies. Many are already shut down, and we do not have a short road to nuclear power plants, so the trajectory is looking renewable heavy along with storage. It is not surprise that new plants do not find investors.

These companies are ultimately accountable to us if we make it happen and the economic incentive is already there for a transition to low or no emission grids. Partial transitions and operational changes like this are a sign that those changes are being taken seriously and that operation of coal plants is already seen as a financial risk, largely due to the increasing purchase of solar and batteries by Australians looking to reduce their energy bill

If you buy it on Black Friday or one of their other sale days, you should be able to get it for the same price or less than the regular edition would be when not on sale.
