I'm not sure if you're joking or not. In which world does having no money guarantee timeliness and quality, because I really wanna live there.
I am aware of that, because I happen to be from a country with an Engineering Order.

Another important part is that one might be liable when signing contracts as the responsible Engineer in a project delivery.
They've already been headed that way for a long time, the problem is that they need huge amounts of capital to complete their foundry road map and that is meant to be cross-subsidized by the other part of their business, but now it's looking shakey that they'll even have the capital to execute the plan - setting aside whether it would even work if they could.
This is really meant for just the Chinese domestic market, and of very little interest to the RoW. For the Chinese this is a relatively small leap. The Chinese internet has always been it's own separate world, with very little dependence on the US tech giants. Google and Meta have been banned for over a decade, and for almost any significant digital service where the RoW depends on US software/service providers there are large Chinese substitutes.

Although most phone makers still rely on Android, Google Play Store and Play Services are banned in China, so for the domestic market they've always been running AOSP plus domestic middleware. Huawei is now substituting the remaining dependency on AOSP, but the open sourced base layer is really not the valuable part of Android.
I missed that as I don’t read much hacker news in sundays. Sorry about that.
I was in a similar situation in my first job: really interesting domain, colleagues I liked, but no other software engineers. It was really tough for me, so I left for a traditional big tech job after a year. I guess I don’t have any advice for you: just sympathy and encouragement.
I vaguely remember having issues with it at one point - I wonder if having a non-NOPASSWD group setting overrides a NOPASSWD user setting?

Maybe make sure there's only a single sudoers entry that applies to your user, and that single entry is NOPASSWD.
My son has an Uber Teen account, but has always been hesitant to use it. A couple weeks ago, my car was in the shop, my wife had the other car, but my son was supposed to be dropped off at a birthday party. I fired up Uber and put in the address - $35 for me to take Uber (round trip it would have been $70 to drop him off). I scheduled the ride, and then remembered he had an Uber Teen account. Cancelled my trip for $5 and had him open his Uber Teen app. The same trip for him was $12! 1/3rd the price. Different vehicle, but going to the same destination. I was happy to save almost $60, but pissed me off on how much Uber thought it could gouge me… and amused at how their algorithm does dynamic pricing between users on the same account. Now, I should have fired up the Lyft app to see how much it would charge me, but I suspect the two companies spend the majority of their time trying to deduce the other’s pricing algorithm to just slightly undercut the other a fraction of the time. It feels like pricing collusion via algorithm.
Cool, sure, good, probably not. I've never played Halo so I didn't entirely know what I was doing (do I shoot the blue guys too? it's not letting me through so I guess I do), and I don't doubt people couldn't even get what it meant by shoot. And god forbid anyone with disabilities that affects their mouse accuracy, or needs a screen reader tries to use it

Haven't looked at the devconsole but it'd probably be easily bypassed by someone dedicated.

/[01]{8,}/: I was hoping to have a conversation. This is why I asked questions. Any responses to them?

Looking up the thread, you can see the context. Many of us pushed back against vague claims that AlphaChip was "snake oil". Like good engineers, we split apart the problem into clearer concepts. The "snake oil" proponents did not offer compelling replies, did they? Instead, they retreated to irrelevant points that have no bearing on making sense of the "snake oil" claim.

Sometimes technical people forget to bring their "debugging" skills to bear on conversations. There is a metaphorical connection; good debuggers would disambiguate terms, decompose the problem, answer questions, find cruxes, synthesize, find clearer terms, generate alternative explanations, and so on.
Nobody else has mentioned it, but Music21 is an extremely good library doing just this: https://github.com/cuthbertLab/music21

I've used it to build an open source vocal range detector: https://www.makeartwithpython.com/blog/vocal-range-python-mu...
Julia syntax is so nice and consistent, a welcome relief from the oddball things that are a result of a mishmash in numpy/python/pandas world. Damn shame it hasn't taken off as much. While Multiple dispatch is great, I feel it doesn't scale to large programs. Julia syntax + compile time polymorphism (like C++) + gc + single executable would be a killer language for HPC and Scientific computing.
> IPv6 adoption were outright enforced by government

That would destroy overnight the market of most of the services built upon the artificial scarcity of personal+static+public addresses (cloud, SaaS, hosting, etc) whose traffic cold be sustained by a home/soho connection. Sadly, it's not going to happen anytime soon.
That icon isn't showing up here. Are you sure it isn't coming from another add-on?
The AI revolution runs on GPUs. Intel needs every last bit of GPU experience and prowess it can get, otherwise it will continue to be left behind.
Yeah exactly, until the miscarriage of justice was too big to ignore
Hey HN!

We’ve just launched our new event for AoC-style Rust code challenges, Shuttle Christmas Code Hunt 2024. We’re looking forward to having you join us and get started on learning Rust for web development, as well as sharing your progress on our Discord server.

Happy hunting!
Yes, but that's in PostgreSQL, not in MSSQL or the other systems I described (and which the gps seemed to refer to)
Godspeed to all working on this.
Motivation is not the limiting factor. Not knowing what you don’t know is.
Different containers for different paths on the same domain. Obviously not a common use case, but it's there. It's fully programmable, so you can open a different container based on the current phase of the moon if your heart desires it.
You can detect this case with profiling or other tools and then adjust it when appropriate.

Having a less error-prone solution for the common case and then doing something else when necessary is a great approach to software design so long as you don't run into the "something else" too often that you end up with two common idioms rather than one common idiom and some clear exceptions.
Any idea why it was taken down?
If you want to attract smart people now, you have to compete with their pay now.

Letting your organization rot for 15 years while the owners reap the rewards is fine, just don’t be surprised when you’re irrelevant in the future. Or maybe do that because you’ll get a bailout from the US federal taxpayers.
From the article, 35 from AP, so presumably 60 from just “fire”.

The article also seems to conflate FSD and AP — very different functions.

As a side note, I don’t know what Tesla did with the October/November FSD update (12.5). I used the 12.3 in the public test beta, and it did really well on a couple of trips (just as it had in previous open betas). Updated to 12.5 overnight, and it was complete trash — so bad that I had to turn it off. The only usable part was basically on the highway — the AP functions.

I hope that the product was in some sort of learning phase and will improve over time, but it went from “this is quite usable for me” to “omfg no” literally overnight.
> One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter

This is as tropey as it is untrue.

Post WWII, successful revolutionaries rarely terrorised civilians. (Even the Taliban in its fight to retake Afghanistan largely constrained itself to military targets.)

Before WWII, certainly the Napoleonic Wars, total war was the norm—the line between enemy armies, terrorists, criminal gangs and revolutionaries didn’t exist on a practical level because the concept of war crimes, atrocities and crimes against humanity didn’t exist. Raping and pillaging began to be frowned upon in that broad interwar period, which encapsulates the Great War, but that varied significantly from place to place. (In antiquity. exterminating the enemy was almost best practice.)

So no. If you’re using violence as a political tool against non-military targets, you’re not a freedom fighter. You’re a terrorist. The only grey areas are collateral damage and political executions, e.g. purging an old regime. (Even then, it’s a grey line between freedom fighter and war criminal, or revolutionary and brutal autocrat. Not terrorist.)
I recommend Microsoft's Launcher, it's simple and gets out of your way. Similarly, Edge's search widget just launches a browser and executes your search. This really should be the stock behaviour that Google should provide.
Go ahead and play the war games, but stories I've heard indicate that the Chinese military is at least as corrupt as Russia's.

Ukraine invasion was a flat land invasion. Invasion of Taiwan involves crossing a body of water and then an invading a mountain fortress Isle.

Ukraine just grew wheat for the third world.

Taiwan produces the world's most advanced semiconductors and many of America's most profitable businesses are dependent upon it.

The Chinese do not have a deep water Navy. We can blockade their oil supply with a couple destroyers in the Malacca strait. No oil, no food. China starves in six months.

Consider this strategy. If China tries to invade Taiwan, The best strategy may be overwhelming conventional defeat of the Chinese forces so they get back in the global trade game rather than extended blockade and disruption of the geopolitically extended supply lines.

In the meantime, any US company depend upon Chinese production really should start partying with them to move production or at least distribute production to Mexico as well as China.

US businesses should be encouraging Chinese companies there depending upon to open satellite manufacturing branches in Mexico or South America. A lot of Chinese industrialists are concerned with the increasing authoritarianism in China and are probably desperate to diversify internationally.

Huh.

I gave NotebookLM a much shorter text, one of my own blog posts, and it mixed in accurate statements with a noticeable quantity of made-up statements. I'd give it 80% on accuracy, as I've had similar from real flesh humans, but it's also not an aspect I was particularly impressed with despite that.

https://github.com/BenWheatley/Timeline-of-the-near-future
Does it support regular expressions to match parts of a URL? I have two different GitHub accounts, that I need to be able open in different containers based on the organization name (https://github.com/<org>). I am currently using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/containerise/, but it is a bit of a pain. I would much prefer defining my rules in code.
AI in Home Valuations?
Has anyone tried or seen the application of LLMs to ingest and value homes or commercial properties?

Context: I've worked in assessment offices and the inputs and software used is really 2000s. I believe there's an application here, powered by better more relevant data, that we can use instead.
yes, Intel chips aren't even that bad. Sure Intel fell back a little compared to AMD but the benchmarks are not far off at all, in fact in some Intel is ahead while consuming a bit more power. It really feels like most people make their decisions purely based off of social group consensus and not what is actually true. https://www.phoronix.com/review/apple-m4-intel-amd-linux/3
It mails the root user by default.
Rhetorical question.

Brian’s affair with an underling was also surprisingly conveniently timed back then.
If everything gets back to being close source.....

That was my reality when I started in computing.

You either pirated it, or bought it, the only source to look into was listings in computer magazines or programming books.
How would that apply in the case of, say, Peter Jackson's 2003, $281 million "The Lord of the Rings" film series?

Does Jackson own the IP? Do actors own part of the IP for every scene they're in? What does Jackson offer to investors, to get the backing he needs to hire loads of horse riders or whatever? Do we do it Star Citizen style, giving Jackson a few hundred million upfront with no obligation to deliver anything?

Are you in favor of forbidding inheritance to everyone or just for authors ?
I was thinking of Mailbox Processor and available Actor libraries. Here's a pretty good rundown I found for some[0]:

> Actor Model in .NET

> In the .NET world, there are at least a few battle-tested frameworks that allow you to build stateful systems using the actor model. The famous ones are Akka.NET[1], Orleans[2], Proto.Actor[3], and Dapr[4]. All of these systems support distributed mode, as well as a bunch of other features like actor supervision, virtual actor, parent-child hierarchies, reentrancy, distributed transactions, dead letter queue, routers, streams, etc. In addition to these frameworks, .NET has several lightweight libs that do not have many of the listed features but still allow the use of the actor model. For example, F# has built-in support via Mailbox Processor[5] and also there the toolkits: TPL Dataflow[6] and Channel[7]. TPL Dataflow and Channel are not actor model implementations but rather foundations for writing concurrent programs with the ability to use the actor model design pattern.

> t bears remembering that those money folks are the ones choosing the CTOs, which is less likely to do with their technical solidity, but more likely to be because they will fall in line.

Wish somebody told me that 25 years ago. I woke up to this reality way too late in my life and career. Now I started getting that it's about emitting the right signals: mostly that you are meek and malleable, if you want to get hired at certain places.

I of course refused to do that, many times, to the detriment of my career. Though maybe it was just shitty luck 7-8 times in a row, who knows. Also Eastern Europe is far from a good environment, so...
I think the issue is that Intel has a culture and focus. It is cpus. It is a large company and this is where the revenue comes from and it has momentum.

There are a lot of strategic shifts Intel could do but their timeline to paying off at the scale Intel needs is very long.

What I see is a bunch of endeavours that get killed off too quickly because they were not paying off fast enough and this creates mistrust in the community around Intel’s new initiatives that are not core that make them harder to succeed going forward. It is a bit of a death spiral.

Basically big companies find it hard to learn new tricks when their core offering starts to fail. The time to learn new tricks was a while ago, now it is too late.
this argument is one of the many lesser known incredible insights from Darwin's diaries!
Yes and they do non-software engineering

Are we going to have international protocols and policies on the best language to use, how to do SQL queries and CSS? no
That stint at EMC/VMWare started in 2009...
His dignity is fully intact imo. A great captain can't always right a ship that's already sinking.
Anecdata, but I've been in Romania for a couple of weeks recently and Uber was cheaper than Bolt for all rides except one. I think I only used Bolt while I had 40% off voucher active, and sometimes even with that it wasn't much cheaper than Uber.

But I believe in the past Bolt used to be cheaper than Uber indeed.
Yeah that was so stupid of them to not see into the future and predict AI.
"Harming people" includes money loss, though. Any hacking that results in identity theft would end up at the feet of the certifying engineer.
Better, Faster Python Projects: A Deep Dive into Uv
They can encode AV1 even. Really amazing, amazing chips for the price.

The "stupid" thing with them (maybe) is that they cannot do anything exceptionally good, and that while having compatibility problems. They are cheap yes, but there are many other chips for the same price, and while they are less capable, they are more compatible.

Make A380 cost 30% less or invest way more to the drivers and IMHO it'd been completely different.
Intel without GPUs will be an ARM competitor. Maybe. With some luck. GPUs are existential for them. They’ve got 2 years.
I would if I could ! but my 3D printer is a bit to small
I’ll add: go to the TA study sessions. And try to answer questions in class. Even if you have nothing to ask, use that time to do homework, listen to other people’s questions.

Yes, you’ll learn more. Also, TAs will recognize you put in the effort so if you’re arguing for partial points or you’re really close to a cutoff grade they will be more likely to bump you up versus someone they’ve not seen or noticed all semester.
Well their stock is already in the dumps, they can't do much worse than they already have been.

Divesting from their discrete GPUs just as they were starting to become a viable value option was one of their most recent asinine decisions. No idea why they didn't try test the market with a high RAM 64GB+ card before bowing out to see how well they'd do. Nvidia's too busy printing money to add more RAM to their consumer GPUs, they'd have the cheap GPU VRAM market all to themselves.
So, America is doing better than communist countries, and therefore trickle down economics worked...

That's absolutely the lamest attempt at an argument I've seen all week.
> I read/worked through Freedman's Statistics a couple of years ago and I walked away from it a different person.

Wholeheartedly agree. It took me a year to slowly go through all chapters and this experience really influenced my way of thinking.

I wish other topics had books of that level of quality.

Not an insider, but this doesn't seem good. I more or less agreed with every call Intel's made over the past few years, and was bullish on 18A. I liked that Pat was an engineer. His interim replacements don't seem to have that expertise.

Intel wasn't doing great to start, but Pat put it on the path, potentially, towards greatness. Now even that is in major jeopardy.
Honestly, I think this could be fixed in probably a year, if the US made a rule that 10% of anything sold, whether it be the assembled or parts, has to be manufactured in US, Canada or Mexico.

I got to be happy with South America or Africa or obviously Europe
> Problem with cars is that this surveillance doesn't improve the product.

It improves insurance companies however. "hey, you were 6 km/h above the limit, then we're truly sorry but we won't pay".
I'm self-taught, mostly anyway.

I don't know what kind of languages/environments you use, but I recommend investigating and trying out some popular technologies and architectures that are allowed in the scope of your work. Try to understand the pros and cons of each approach.

When you want to know the "right way" to do something, try reading the code of the most experienced programmers and successful projects written in the same languages/environments as yours. Very little in software is "new" so chances are someone has tried it before. Maybe LLMs are good for this, but I usually just read the code.

Focus on iterative improvement not destinations, because you'll never be "done" you just move onto the next project and the next technology. You'll get better as long as you're trying to learn new things.
This is the day that I type

into my terminal. I am giggling like a child.
Same with the general preparedness for the AGI Cambrian explosion. Give their position, they should have been able to keep pace with Nvidia beyond the data center, and they fumbled it.

Their purported VRAM offerings for Battlemage are also lower than hoped for, which is going to be a turnoff to many buying for local inference.

I think we have too many decision-makers gunshy from crypto mining that haven't yet realized that compute isn't just a phase.
I really need help for accomadation. Am currently perching with my junior brother and his wife and four children. This is my email address if you may, thanks

Show HN: I made a Online video editor
Hi Everyone!!

I am the Head of Customer Experience at Echowave.io, dedicated to ensuring that our users have a seamless and enjoyable experience with our online video editor. With a passion for customer satisfaction, I lead our support team in providing top-notch service. When I'm not enhancing user journeys, I enjoy cycling through scenic routes, savoring a good cup of coffee, and spending time in the mountains.
Just the individual part1 and part2 functions. At least on the Clojure side, I made the runner. For the rust side I’m not sure I’m using a template project that does that containment.
Many developers dislike doing all sorts of useful things, like writing documentation in general, or tests.

Rust is an upfront investment of time which pays back in later stages when you're not spending 10 hours hunting down issues with valgrind or trying to explain codebase-specific lifetime semantics to junior developers. Yes the initial development is "slower", but you can then do massive refactors without fear of breaking some subtle rule that will blow things up, because such rule-breaking would result in a failure to compile.

Thanks for your feedback.

I just added Cerebras, initially I could not find the pricing for it since it was not documented publicly.

A small project I have is to do an analysis of data coverage for each entity and put it in a dedicated section about the methodology I use to fetch the data.

PS. ArtificialAnalysis looks really cool.

This is the new US energy plan. More oil and more tariffs will "Make America Great Again"

Simple minded solutions for simple minded folks.

We're so screwed.
What is likelier is China actually succeeding in matching TSMC's capabilities and duplicate the entire west tech ecosystem completely. Anyone who still looks at China as a producer of cheap crap is a decade behind. Their STEM workforce dwarfs the west, they have the means, the ability and will to utilize every trick in the book (like spying). Taiwan and China are not like South and North Korea. They can lure engineers from Taiwan to work for them.
Now go look at the casualty ratios in all those wars.
Where are you getting 70 years from? In the UK etc it's lifetime plus 70 years. These will be works whose authors died before my retired father was born.

Yes, but there existed a procedure for "Runaway Trim"
