That doesn't use the GPU cores. They just happen to package dedicated video hardware alongside it, but it's more similar to a CPU with a specialized DSP attached.

Any kind of decompression isn't fully parallelizable. If you've found any opportunities, that means the compression wasn't as efficient as it theoretically could be. Most codecs are merciful and eg restart the entropy coder across frames, which is why the multithreaded decoding in ffmpeg is able to work.

(But it comes with a lossless video codec called ffv1 that doesn't allow this.)
A 94x performance boost will not come from just writing some assembly instructions. It will come from changing terrible memory access patterns to be optimal, not allocating memory in a hot loop and using SIMD instructions. At 94x there could be some algorithmic changes too, like not doing redundant calculations on pixels that can have their order reversed and applied to other pixels.
Not sure what would be the difference between this and an “open source airtable/notion” etc
It is a bit silly then that it reports them as vulnerabilities by default.
Heck, there's companies where standard practice is "fire the lowest x% of workers on a regular basis". Doesn't even matter if they're doing a good job or not; just that someone else is doing a _better_ job.

Optimal strategy is to sabotage your coworkers in such an environment.
What's wrong with being anti-union?

I'm extremely anti-union principally because they drive up costs to consumers while yielding a product or service of at best comparable (but usually degraded) quality. Some easy examples are UAW destroying Detroit automakers or the recent dockworkers strike involving uneducated laborers demanding compensation ludicrously in excess of what even most people with master's degrees make, all to drastically under-perform equivalent workers from almost anywhere else in the world. To top it off, those same dockworkers zealously guard access to those highly lucrative jobs with some very questionable tactics.

When you drive by a highway construction project that doesn't progress for years or, worse, a horde of workers, most of whom appear to be doing absolutely nothing, there's a good chance that's union fuckery. When you go to almost any hotel in NYC and are treated with borderline disdain by highly incompetent staff while paying $500+ a night, that's union fuckery. When you wonder why you can't get cheap sufficiently high quality EVs like those from China, that's union fuckery. I could go on.

Unions are not comprised of saints. They're doing the same thing as the companies they despise: getting theirs while fucking over everyone else.
404 is deeply pessimistic about everything. They peddle fear, and I can't stomach it.
I like coming to the Hacker News comments to get a sense of what other perspectives people have.

"Insurrection" is, in the most tone-deaf language-nerd sense, the word for what happened on that day. You could say that the US had a famous insurrection against the British, but we call it a revolution and we call the people who fought in the resulting war patriots and heroes. I've no doubt that the people who went and fought at the capitol believed that they were fighting as soldiers and patriots, so I'm less inclined to judge their moral character than I am to judge that of the person who told them that their lives and futures were over unless they took action.
Django honesty feels pretty outdated and behind these days.

Right, but you see my point, don't you? For every set of intrinsics you'd need to know as a contributor if the vectorized code was in C, there is an assembly language and a set of intrinsics you need to know as a contributor today. Moving to C wouldn't increase the set of things a contributor needs to know.

>You'd think that directors or VPs would carefully look into why someone is quitting, if it's because of their manager, but I have never seen that happen.

I've had this happen once. We got acquired and 2 years pass and they start implementing "efficiencies," which involved firing everyone but me and this other guy.

The other guy had had it and didn't do squat, so I was working his workload and the 2 people they fired. I dealt with the 12+ hour days for a few months then quit. They then fired my manager and his boss.
I don't know about Madonna, but the experience I had listening to this song for the first time with headphones on is what I would guess to be a similar experience:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeTVvhuco4g

Sure, it's christian rock, but from South Africa so it has a different vibe from what you may have previously experienced.

They got the intro synth to swirl around your head and it's a vibe, and the song itself is decent.
That's my take on the RPN mode but I like the algebraic mode and agree the 48 series is way better for RPN.

(My favorite HP calc was the 28, which I bought when the 48 was available. I discovered soon afterwards that a powerful spring will eventually break the battery door and it seemed to be a problem that no engineering student managed to solve.)
Interesting, I've certainly had nuisance trips at <100% looking at https://www.ece.uprm.edu/~lorama/Square%20D%20CB%20Curves.pd... page 36 you can see even at the rated 25c ambient it goes below 1 (though not as low as 0.9, much less 0.8 rule of thumb).

I haven't given it a lot of research because NEC requires 125% (1/.8) for continuous loads (for conductor protection).

Perhaps my experience was hot ambient/panel.

Great work! That's pretty interesting. One of the things that always annoyed me is having to switch my language layout to write Arabic while I'm doing something else around (coding or whatever). This seems to be a great idea, I will go through the repo soon and maybe map it with some setxkbmap configuration.
Yep. Or implemented an interface that let someone else build that.
The examples in that ticket are convoluted, who would write code like that? Has this issue been spotted in the wild?

I agree that there is some issue and a lint should probably warn you about these, but I doubt a lot of people will run into it.

Matthew Walker, author of Wy We Sleep agrees with you. He has a page where he addresses some common reader concerns and criticisms and anxiety around quantity and quality of sleep is something he acknowledges:

In that same post he addresses some of Alexey Guzey's oft repeated criticism of his work.
Also, if you have an array living in the zeropage, and you use Zeropage,X or Zeropage,Y instructions to try to access beyond address FF, it will wrap back to 00. Because it's a zeropage instruction that can't go outside the zeropage.
If editorialization is ever appropriate, this feels to me like the right time. Substantively, Perplexity make LLM tools - that's all they advertise on their website and what they are known for. Maybe they do have some jack-of-all-trade engineers who could turn their hands to web development or something, but there are also no doubt cleaners working at Perplexity. They aren't offering the New York Times help with the toilets!
Yeah I have seen a farm do this! They bought from other local farms at least, not Target. But the claim "vendors at farmers markets can only sell what they grew themselves" is only true to the extent that there is enforcement and sufficient oversight to find violators.
Oh that’s so cool. I love the ribbons of copper curling up. Might be ok for use cases like prototyping antennas - one place I’d still use a pcb mill for the the turnaround time. How is it at removing larger areas of copper?
ASP.NET Core is similar. Not necessarily trendy, but very efficient to work in.

So do we sometimes lay cables on top of other cables down there?

What governments do you have to go to to get approval to do this? Could I just run a string across the Atlantic Ocean?

If we do lay cables on top of other cables how high do they get stacked? Are there challenges to bring the lower cables back up? Does that happen? Or do we just keep them down there forever basically and upgrade the hardware at the terminal?

It was a turn of phrase, most people would understand the meaning easily.
You don’t get paid while on strike right? This will be interesting if it lasts a pay cycle and that direct deposit doesn’t show up. Rent is expensive.

Why not? At least I can easily copy the results and the code to a document which avoids transcription errors. Or do you mean that there simply isn't a program that has the functions you use?
Not necessarily. The RTO move came immediately after the staff went public with a union drive; the complaint is less a generalized issue about RTO as a form of soft layoffs, and more that this specific soft layoff was a form of retaliation.
When I am 86kg, I have quite heavy sleep apnea. When I am 83kg, I don’t. Everyone has different possible actions, because for some it is due to the shape of the nose cartilage, for others it’s the throat, but discovering that made a world of difference.

Hard disagree. The most important part of the election, from a news perspective, will be during/after the count, especially if it looks like Harris will win, or it's exceedingly close. Maybe this wouldn't be the case pre-Trump, when elections were decided relatively quickly, and you could assume a peaceful transfer of power.

It's probably not excellent; the grooves are V-shaped and the machine isn't stiff enough to go very deep, so you'd need to take a lot of passes. But a crosshatch toolpath might pull up extra copper on the sides and make fills quickly. I'll run some tests when I'm back home and report back! Would be neat to be able to prototype RF trace circuits same-day.
I noticed that too, but assumed it is a natural part of the body being in stasis and no longer growing/developing. I definitely remember being most tired during teenage years and other phases when the body was changing. You and others seem to imply that it has to be with increased stress, and maybe so, but I would like to see data on other cultures. Does someone who has been farming since age 17 have the same sleep patterns in middle age?

I was about to assert the same as you with as much confidence, but the etymology source I trust most (EtymOnline) nearly agrees with OP [0]:

> 1763, in reference to tables, charts, etc., "pertaining to or forming a synopsis," from Modern Latin synopticus, from Late Latin synopsis (see synopsis). It was being used specifically of weather charts by 1808. Greek synoptikos meant "taking a general or comprehensive view."

> The English sense "affording a general view of a whole" emerged by mid-19c. The word was used from 1841 specifically of the first three Gospels, on notion of "giving an account of events from the same point of view." Related Synoptical (1660s). The writers of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are synoptists.

The subtle change vs OP's is that EtymOnline does include some sense that the word 'synoptic' should be understood to describe the way in which the works relate to one another. But they do say that the connection to 'synopsis' is, in fact, part of the original intent of the usage.

[0] https://www.etymonline.com/word/synoptic
John, generally thought to be the last of the four canonical gospels, is the only Gospel that potentially dates to 80 years after Jesus's death.

Per TFA The synoptic gospels are thought to have been completed no later than 95 CE, with historical dates for the crucifixion (for those that consider the crucifixion factual) 30-33CE, placing them as no more than 65 years after the crucifixion.
back in the day, during a talk about Westinghouse, we were all admiring Rand's striking and iconic Westinghouse Logo, the theory and precision behind it.

A little boy pointed at it and said "That logo is dumb."

And it was at that instant that we all suddenly realized that it was a pretty bad logo. We moved on to the next topic quickly after that.
that makes sense. I hate Jira enough though I don't really like cluttering it.

>It's astonishing me how bad the Grindr tech is and how abusive the company is and yet it still persists as the most popular gay hookup app.

I wonder why the other big apps don't use their own tech to make a separate gay hookup app. The only thing I can see, other than possibly anti-gay bias, is that they see the market as not being worthwhile financially due to other reasons.

Obsidian's Ownership Model
Obsidian is a PKM (Personal Knowledge Making) note taking app that is really powerful. I have been using for a few years now. I'm so invested in its use in my daily and work life I wondered if anyone is willing to discuss what could prevent it from falling prey to Enshitification?

I submitted a post on the forums but I was hoping to get some awareness around this. Obsidian is run as a for-profit organization which I have no problem with, but I have seen really good software come and go because some competitor or investment firm did the embrace, extend, extinguish thing and I really don't want that to happen to this product.

You shouldn't be modifying any variable concurrently without a mutex. The only exception to this is if the variable is (1) less than or equal to the CPU word size; (2) is at a CPU word size aligned address; and (3) atomic memory access functions are used to read and write the variable.

I thought work stress kept me awake at night, but it was sleep apnea. I had a device that propels the lower jaw forward, to clear the throat, it stopped apnea but moved my teeth, but I then was brave enough to lose ~5kg (sleeping more makes you brave), and now I don’t need the jaw device.

For most operations, on most CPUs, you can get the same results with twice as many AVX2 instructions. And that's excluding the CPUs with no AVX512 at all.

But the number of situations where AVX512 has a significant advantage is growing, so interest will grow alongside it.

Not a huge surprise - it's former employees of Vice Media. The world was better when they went under.

Have you found the things you say to actually be true?

I've worked with people that were passionate about the art their entire life , and I've worked with on-job trained people in equivalent positions -- the difference in code quality/structure/logic is pretty telling between the two camps.

It certainly makes one think that either the skill set is 'special', or that we're really in the experimental trial phase of learning how to teach it to those otherwise uninterested.

For the curious, this is fresh from VDD24[1]. The 94x is mildly contested since IIRC how you write the C code really matters (e.g. scalar vs autovectorized). But even with vectorized C code the speed up was something like >10x, which is still great but not as fun to say.

One clarification: this is an optimization in dav1d, not FFmpeg. FFmpeg uses dav1d, so it can take advantage of this, but so can other non-FFmpeg programs that use dav1d. If you do any video handling consider adding dav1d to your arsenal!

There’s currently a call for RISC-V (64-bit) optimizations in dav1d. If you want to dip your toes in RISC-V optimizations and assembly this is a great opportunity. We need more!

RNA is the messenger from the nucleus that tells the ribosome what to make.

The DNA sequences that create the RNA are called genes. It was only learned the last few decades that genes can be turned off/on. This is how a single embryo cell can produce all the different cells in our body. Unfortunately they chose the word expressed for this concept.

What they are saying is they want to study the amygdala aka the primitive pre-evolutionary part of our brain we share with other creatures. It is said the primitive brain controls breathing, heart rate,fear and anger. It is also said emotions like fear or anger is our brain’s faulty perception of our body’s response to all the adrenaline the amygdala is initiates.

They know the amygdala has different types of cells. To learn why certain cells malfunction, and cause depression and other disorders, they are studying DNA sequences.
I really hope you let them know and haven’t lost track of them.
Two low impact things to try are:

Worse CRA goes from saviour to deprecated, "use nextjs or vite instead" in a blink. Meta should maintain it. Nextjs will probably morph again in the future so you hope investing in learning vite is the answer. JS has this way.

As they say, it's all about how your manager perceives you. Once they've formed an impression of you it's hard to shake it. And that impression influences your performance review regardless of how they try to present the numbers.

It also doesn't help that most companies don't consider anyone for promotion who isn't doing more than what they're obligated to under the terms of their contract. If they pay you $20 for your services and you're not doing the work of someone who makes $40 for the services they provide, you don't get promoted. "Meets expectations," isn't enough.
