> This is repeated often, but I have had very good support from Nvidia on Linux over the years.

They have been improving because getting CUDA running on the platform in datacenters required some level of cooperation. They eventually realized this had to happen regardless for AI in the datacenter and so eventually they got a kernel module starting to be added. It's not really there yet and it doesn't run the actual driver, but it gets a pathway to booting Nvidia with signed drivers among other things.

The end result is our support forums are still full of Nvidia users. Go to any support forum or Reddit related to Linux and view the comments and press CTRL+F for Nvidia. It's so common we have to just tag/bin these posts and move on because there are literally man years of time being wasted on this.

> AMD on the other hand gives lousy support.

I can open a bug right now on both GitHub and the LKMS directly with AMD engineers. When I have a question about ROCm I can ask them and get a quick response. These guys are in Reddit threads talking to ROCm users and giving them guidance on how to modify their consumer grade Radeon cards to use the datacenter grade drivers that aren't adapted to consumer facing cards yet.

The one thing we for sure agree on is that Intel doesn't have any of this BS. Their stuff just works and their pipeline for getting anything fixed is also well optimized.
Aren't you just proving the point, though? You automatically assume all conspiracies from one set of countries to be unsubstantiated, yet all the other ones from a different set of countries to suddenly be substantiated and requiring no further proof? And don't even bother to refer to the latter ones as "conspiracies", whereas, in polite company, all the former ones, must explicitly be referred to as "conspiracies".

For a lot of these cases, there's really no way to definitively prove either way, so, the fact that with the same set of basic facts, different conclusions are reached, using different words, doesn't instil objectivity to the process.

Feed it the inputs from the real world and then it will recreate in its mind a mirror of the world. Some say this is what we do also, we live in a virtual reality created by our minds.

I do have a soft spot in my heart for Soviet popular science and mathematics books, especially those that do recreational explorations - anyone of any age can enjoy them, but to someone young enough I’m sure they would’ve been totally engrossing.
Are you on the outside looking in, and this is what the US looks like to you?

My commentary as someone on the inside who has also been on the outside looking in:

> Incredibly expensive, low wages

Pick one. Wages trend higher where it’s expensive. Wages trend lower where it’s not.

There are also tough-to-see subsidies like prop 13 and rent control in CA (as an example).

Currently the US appears expensive from the outside due to a strong dollar.

From the inside, it’s more nuanced — specifically, the distribution of wealth across the capital class and the worker class is skewing much more towards the capital class than at any time in our lives, but is trending towards a common state if looking at a longer time scale.

> no safety net,

No European-style safety net.

Japan doesn’t have a safety net either. Is it “horrible”?

The US has a substantial safety net via charity. Most of the people seen in the news who need it (e.g., homeless folks) choose not to use it, since it comes with restrictions like not being on drugs.

> car and health insurance are mandatory,

Yay?

Fwiw, health insurance is federally subsidized for low income folks.

Car insurance is a good thing, imho.

> homelessness everywhere,

In many cities, yes. Outside of those… not really. If you don’t live or work in a city, this is only something you see on TV.

> gun violence is rampant,

None of my friends, family, or acquaintances in my entire life have been a victim of gun violence. I know of three people who committed suicide with their own guns (which is counted in “gun violence numbers”), but I don’t think that’s what you’re referring to.

I realize that’s a class issue, and that there is more gun violence in the US than in Europe, but it’s just not part of the day-to-day reality for most people.

> and the government is a dictatorship disguised as a democracy

Objectively not true, at least for now.

The system of checks and balances baked into the US system is failing tragically at the moment, but we are not at the level of a dictatorship yet.

> No one would actively choose to live there if it wasn’t for high salaries in certain fields.

I don’t think that this is universally true.

I know plenty of immigrants who make their money, retire, and choose to stay in the US. Some people go back, but a lot stay, and with purpose.
>Are you under the illusion that nuclear would have helped

I am.
Remembering off-screen objects, generating spatially consistent features, modeling physical interactions and lights, understanding what "up the stairs" means, all seem to warrant talking about a world model, because that's exactly what's required to do these things compared to simply hallucinating video sequences.
I think that's backwards. The vast majority of all creative works make no significant profit past the first couple years of release. Publishers pay out based on what they estimate the work is going to make in the first couple of years, and discount the rest to 0.

The publisher might know that the work of a 75 year old might actually have some back catalog value, so might be willing to pay for it. For a 20 year old, they don't know that and aren't going to pay for it, even if the copyright they're buying likely has a much longer time frame.

If you used a 30 or 40 year old as your young example, I might buy the argument. Taylor Swift's back catalog as a 30 year old is worth hundreds of millions. Taylor Swift's back catalog as a 20 year old likely had an expected value close to zero, and there are very few 20 year olds as successful as Taylor Swift was at that age.
Legit complaint, can't really argue, yet, at the same time, using various Clojure dialects and Clojure-like Fennel requires so much less mental overhead. Even switching between Javascript and Typescript is not at the same level of unsophistication. I feel biased, but targeting JVM, Node, Browser, Bash, Lua, and now Go using a single set of idioms and patterns feels so much nicer and less frustrating. Even with all the little quirks and differences.
Love the PMF journey -- good luck!
>begging people to move there and make babies.

How much are they paying per child? I see references to roughly $20k over 8 years. That's not "begging", that's a pittance. That probably doesn't even cover the cost of food over those 8 years.

Countries will get the babies they want when they incentivize the babies they want. Conservative politicians know this, though they have some pretty disgusting ideas about what those incentives should be. More stick than carrot IMO.

I think a world where we force women back into having no options and no prospects and no freedom and no rights just so they will produce the right colored babies is pretty abhorrent.
The claim here is that the tech innovation is occurring in the US. It adds value globally, but most of the profits from that value are being realized in the US b/c the innovation is by US companies.

There’s no natural law that says technical innovation must occur in NA, but due to contingent historical conditions, it is occurring here. Thus, the gains are being realized in the US stock market b/c it’s the one capitalizing the winners.
I asked this in a similar thread the other day but what is with this pattern as well exemplifies with the below quote

Not every small town or small/midsize city or suburb is notably dangerous. Some are safe. Some are even safe and arguably also poor—poor-small-town Vermont, to take an example, tends to be more than a tad statistically different from poor-small-town Arkansas, say, if you want to carve out a whole category of poorish-small-town that may be relatively safe. And anywhere, exceptions may exist.

A whole shitload of them have much higher murder rates than NYC and several other "bad" big cities, though, and it's just about never the rich places of that sort that are high-crime (go figure). Yet, for folks who live in those demonstrably-dangerous places and travel, local members of their family commonly freak out about their visiting big cities that are, statistically, a lot safer than the place they're leaving to make the visit. This is due to wild misperceptions of where the dangerous parts of the US are—some are in big cities, but a lot aren't, and many of the "bad" big cities are actually relatively safe, if you compare them to smaller cities and towns.

What I meant is that if you want to look at small towns and suburbs and consistently find ones that are safe, you're going to want to limit your search to the relatively rich ones. That's a category that largely does fit the assumptions of safety that people have for small towns and suburbs in general (which assumption holds... less well, with a wider net cast)
The US certainly does not subsidize drugs for the rest of the world. It literally would rather enforce patents than save lives.

And there are no long queues for healthcare where I live. Service is cheap and insurance is nationalized.
It is frankly absurd to make a case with only one line mentioning

> owing to its abundant domestic energy supplies,

Energy is wealth. In so far as I can tell we have better data, going back further, and being more strongly correlated to outcomes of interests, than the data we have on monetary systems. I have my doubt the FT will ever dare to entertain that position.

Energy has an enormous cascading effect. But it pops up directly as well. ChatGPT could not run at 5x the base energy costs and no suppliers able to scale to more demand.

If you're looking to explain the US upward trends always include their shale output in your graph as well. You'll find you rarely need more explanations.

It has been blessed by their resources, an enormous size granting a low population density, and a functioning liberal state to use those well.

The rest is pandering and ideological pleas for less tax and less regulations.

And i mean... if you're going to pander, you're going to pander to the people with the cheapest energy.
What about arabica do you detest, specifically? What of origin, processing, roasting, and brewing differences?

Arabica produces such a varied spectrum of cups, it’s really quite head scratching to hear you write off the entire species, yet still hear you drink robusta.
You can use it for anything especially with its new server islands.

https://astro.build/blog/astro-5/#server-islands

So you can mix static rendered along with server side rendering pieces and get the benefits of both.

Also it's frontend framework agnostic and you can mix and match.

So you can have a dynamic react component, with a static Astro component, svelte component all in the same page on theory.

https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/

Then for backend stuff it kinda depends on how you deploy it. It could just be a single monolithic server or serverless per API route and probably everything in between.
This is great @wishpals. Is there a way to mask user data in the session replays? And do you provide a Firebase integration?
My biggest beef with modern roguelikes, including everything you mentioned, is almost none of them make me think, "Wow, this feels like rogue to me". Which is not to say that I don't like some of them, but I like them for completely different reasons.

Tangentially related: As someone who not just played the crap out of Rogue in the early 80s but also Wizardry 1, I was ecstatic to find out recently that the latter was rereleased on modern platforms [1]. It's the original DOS game with some better graphics. They included some new play options to make it less punishing, but one can disable all of them to have the authentic experience

> You keep saying killed, but there is a difference between letting people die and killing them.

There's also a difference between letting people die for whom you have no responsibility, and actively taking on the responsibility to prevent deaths in exchange for profit, and then letting the people whose lives you're responsible for die.

If you don't want to be held responsible when you let people die, don't take on that responsibility by becoming a health insurer.

Health insurers actually did worse than that: when other people wanted to take on the responsibility (i.e. single-payer healthcare) they actively blocked them from saving lives so they could go on profiting.

If this isn't "murder" or "killing" in your eyes, then maybe we just need a new word for the callous abdication of responsibilities that you signed up to provide for profit, when doing so results in the deaths of thousands.
I'm thinking a lot lately about which country would be best for my future, and somehow US is never there.
Maybe for me without family yes, but otherwise I see it like there, I would be one illness away from bankrupcy, one crazy kid with a gun away from family tragedy, one <what if> away from <unsolvable problems>.
Sure, being in top 10% is cool, but will my kids be also so lucky? And the middle class in the US already thinks they are struggling (hence the last vote) - as someone said numbers can't feed you.
But, hey, I'm maybe too old ;)
Probably the same thing most extreme conservative conspiracy theorists say to their wives when they do things that hurt them:

Shut up and stay in the kitchen.

JD Vance publicly called his wife okay for a not-white lady. I don't know why you think they respect their wives.

my point was the opposite, that Europeans have rich social lives, and this is responsible for their quality of life, despite fewer material luxuries.

This is the cultural aspect.
it was FBI insistence of backdoors on telecomms infrastructure - in order to spy to US citizens - which created the vulnerability in the first place.
Yes! This is the nuance I’m looking for. There are issues with corporations exploiting our private lives and data but if one were to find someone’s family photo album left sitting around it doesn’t seem horrible to me to take a look.
I think the parent poster means that tech companies such as Apple, Nvidia and others are traded in US stock exchanges..

Perhaps subsonic rounds that did not have enough charge to drive the slide. It looks like there may be a suppression device on the end. My first thought was home made.
The conclusion is that we need to get rid of fee for service so that doctors stop prescribing things that dont work. Getting rid of fee for service also increases the amount of preventative healthcare people receive as providers realize its cheaper to do preventative than massive surgery down the line.
Not yet. For now it's a browser extension for chromium browsers
No, it is trivial to spend an afternoon with friends or go for a walk.
No retail investors and no reporting requirements, I'm pro capitalism but why should only the largest people own private SME's? I appreciate buying stocks in your local "metal work shop 'done good'" comes with risk, but really? So much risk that only the big players can play? Seems wrong - its not going to stop foreign countries buying up the market?
There could never be proof of that but I think it's generally agreed that the Renaissance was born out of the Black Plague.

Well Bangladesh is already killing and destroying Hindu citizens now where the coup was orchestrated with US blessing.
It's not just profits and management. Administrators, nurses, and yes, definitely doctors, get paid far higher in the U.S. than in other countries. Who wants to be the one to say we need to cut staff, and cut wages for nurses and doctors, in order to bring down costs? Just cutting fat from insurance companies, or having the government step in as insurer with no other changes, wouldn't move the needle much.
They’re generalising to say the world uses Apple, Google, Microsoft, Zoom, Cisco, Tesla, and so on… US tech stocks. We use them and they gain revenue and profit.

Of course there are many successful tech co’s outside the US but (and I haven’t looked) I imagine the US tech stocks must overshadow every other countries tech sector.

The bridge handles communicating between the compiled Swift and the Java/Kotlin environment that all Android apps are contained within. This enables your Swift to be invoked from your UI layer (such as Jetpack Compose), and also enables your Swift to call out to the Android Java SDK or any other Java/Kotlin dependencies your project may have.

The bridging is designed to work alongside SkipUI, which is the SwiftUI that is transpiled into Jetpack Compose (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41384144 and the other Skip docs). But you don't necessarily need to use our transpiled UI layer to benefit from it: any Android project can embed the compiled Swift as a dependency and call into code that is exposed through a Kotlin interface.

Happy to answer any other questions. I am the author of the article.

While you would like to think that, I doubt there's any data at all to support your claim of "one firewall between it and the internet."
I don’t think the arXiv makes any claim to require a minimum level of originality or contribution to the state of the art, beyond “write it up as a paper in full academic prose and it can’t just be a proposal”, especially in a history and overview subsection dedicated to exposition. The authors have a pretty good claim for getting published in an expository journal like, say, the MAA Monthly.

(Also, I don’t think this is any surprise to you, but an NSF proposal requires engagement with the literature, and a statement of contributions.)
I think this is too simplistic a theological approach, though. Remember that Jesus was not above direct action himself, ranging from property damage to literally whipping people to get them in line. While Jesus' ultimate mission is heavenly justice, he also demonstrates that we should also be seeking to right injustice on earth too.
Work at grifting, yes -- but the description associated with that quadrant is someone who actually works for the goals of the organisation: this is the literal opposite of grifting.

Like, the post says "You want a grifter leading a complicated engineering project".

No, you really, really, really don't.
I see, thank-you for clarifying.
The dynamics are more interesting if you make a small change to this scheme: force the owner to accept public domain buyout if the value in the fund (+ interest less overhead) exceeds the current valuation. It also acts as a built-in termination period for orphaned works, since there may be no owner to actually accept an offer.

This made me laugh out loud so much because while it's not as true anymore, it's a pretty good distillation of how unwilling try he average Googler is to be disagreeable and I guess Gemini absorbed some of that from the people that worked on it. Just like normal software AIs seem to be the expression of the organization that produces it but in this case it's easier to spot it as it gives it a sort of "persona".
Or someone highly motivated to make the hit a work of art. Killers are usually not very smart, or they are blinded by rage, and they make mistakes and are sloppy and incomplete about planning.
On a per capita and historic basis the emissions of developing countries are dwarfed orders of magnitude by Europe and Western countries. Not to talk about all the land conquered by the same countries.
No, it mean complaining about people having too much and people having too little. It might sound strange for you, but lots of people discuss economics/politics for a greater social good, not their own personal interest.
Any language with FFI (which is like all of them, these days) has the same exact issue, the only difference being how common it is to drop into C or other fast compiled language for parts of the code.

And this kind of benchmark is the one that tells you why this is different across different languages.
Go for a walk where? On the side of the stroad? With your friends who live 10Km away and have to drive to meet you because there's no public transport?
I have, and it's terrible in exactly the way GP describes it.

It won't talk to me about anything involving the word "president" or anything related to the US political system, even very procedural/hopefully uncontroversial questions such as "who appoints <federal agency position x>, and is the appointment confirmed in congress or not".

That's only one example; it generally refuses so many things (and often even lies about "not being able to", despite sometimes leaking the correct answer for a second and then overwriting that with the lie) that I've given up on it – for the second time.
Tech is not a 'problem'. It has replaced Finance in the pecking order of power relationships. Since US controls it , it can exert control everywhere where its tech goes. China shielded itself from it early on.
Curious what the threat model for the cryptographic verification is. It looks like verify_signature_software[1] doesn't actually verify ed25519 signatures, but rather computes a truncated sha512 hash of the data and compares that with the supplied hash.

fn verify_signature_software(&self, data: &[u8], signature: &[u8; ED25519_SIGNATURE_LENGTH]) -> bool {
let mut h = [0u8; 64];
let data_hash = self.compute_sha512(data);
for i in 0..32 {
h[i] = data_hash[i];
}
self.verify_ed25519_reduced(h, signature)
}

This calls [1] which merely performs a byte equality check on the first 32 bytes of the hash:

fn verify_ed25519_reduced(&self, h: [u8; 64], signature: &[u8; ED25519_SIGNATURE_LENGTH]) -> bool {
// ...
let mut matches = true;
for i in 0..32 {
if signature[i] != h[i] {
matches = false;
break;
}
}
// ...
matches && key_valid
}

With this design, an adversary who knows data can simply calculate their own hash of the input data and supply it as a "signature", no?

It is difficult to comment on the verification approach when there are no secrets and only hash verification occurs. Do you have documentation on the approach and future plans? At best, this "signature verification" looks like placeholders for future verification.
