I've tried multiple times when I was in California to get vaccinated for rabies. Not a single doctor would consider it despite my telling them I handle bats and other critters all the time. Their excuse was that it can have really bad side effects to which I said, "well so can having rabies". A couple of the ER doctors didn't even know what rabies does so we sat there and read the CDC website for 40 minutes. I went there because I had muscle stiffness and lacked a range of motion but that had been going on longer than the incubation period so we just agreed I didn't have rabies, also ibuprofen helped which would not help for rabies.

I rescued a pup that was really scared when California was on fire. I also had a few infected bats that were highly aggressive. I know that is not a good test as it can take a while. It would have been nice to get vaccinated but I was just lucky.
you can do that with nvidia too but it takes you from 6tok/s to 6s/token or worse (not even exaggerating)
I had the same treatment in South Korea a few years ago, including immunoglobulin. It cost about $4,000 or so

There's a place where something similar happened (for different reasons). Some of the best farming from rich soil and a pleasant climate. Farming and fruit orchards filled the valley with prosperous plant growth. But then computer people took over and silicon valley is now just high-priced real estate and no growing.
There is nothing to “get” that is worth getting unless you are interested in pure math. As a programmer we already know how to compose types/functions/applications/systems. No need for category theory to understand how to do that.
I've been rabies vaccinated for 32 years. I get my titer checked every 2 years. I finally got a booster a few weeks ago. I do work with wild animals including bats.

Whenever I read a story like this, I wonder if more people should be vaccinated for rabies. When I spoke to the Oregon state veterinarian a few years ago he told me about a terrible case of rabies infection that happened with a child. The general scenario is - domestic cat catches rabid bat - cat becomes rabid - child in the household is bitten. As mentioned, by the time symptoms are detected it is too late. The doctor also told me a man who got bit by a rabid dog in Mexico and died in Oregon. It took some sleuthing to figure out how/when the infection occurred since the Mexico trip had been months before.

Rabies is a terrible way to die.

If memory serves me, first year premium pricing is definitely a thing for some domains on some tlds with some registrars.

I didn't say it's sufficient, but without the preservation that the Internet Archive does, we'd be completely lost.

I have come across some wealth of deeply technical information by entering dead links on still live pages in the wayback machine, and then following crosslinks from there to further old sites. I shudder to think what would have been if I hadn't found the dead links in those cases, and I'm sure I still missed a lot because I didn't know it was there. So yes, this is a very real problem.

The natural tendency is for language to get simpler as the audience becomes broader, or to suit the technology available at the time/place of writing. It doesn't have to be planned or imposed, it's happening anyway. See the development of English itself, it's basically a creole language, a mix of different influences, and and lost complexities like grammatical gender as a result.

Most of the so-called complexity in English is just about scoring "style points", it's not necessary to communicate (other than the admittedly huge vocabulary - again a result of its formation from multiple influences).
> The only way the entire industry can fuck over Nvidia is if they choose to invest in a complete CUDA replacement like OpenCL. That is the only way that Nvidia's value can be actually deposed without any path of recourse for their business, and it will never happen because every single one of Nvidia's competitors hate each other's guts and would rather watch each other die

Intel seems to have thrown their weight behind SYCL, which is an open standard intended to compete with CUDA. Its not clear there has been much interest from other hardware vendors though.

Show HN: FitBee – A Better Alternative to MyFitnessPal
I was overweight in college and started my weight loss journey using an app called MyFitnessPal. Tracking calories not only helped me lose weight but also taught me a lot about nutrition and helped establish healthy eating habits that continue to benefit me. However, I’ve always been frustrated by the existing nutrition tracking apps. They are slow and bloated, lack accurate nutrition data, or don’t respect user privacy. I wanted to build something that I’d love using myself.

A few things that make FitBee stand out:

* Fast, lightweight and to the point - The app is just about tracking your nutrition and makes that front and center. I've tried to make things that you do often as simple as possible (e.g., log yesterday's breakfast).

* Robust Apple Health support - You can read/write data to Apple Health. I wear an Apple Watch so it's great for getting the energy burned through exercises.

* Accurate nutrition data - The nutrition data is sourced from the USDA dataset and nutrition labels off the packages. I also spent effort adding east asian foods (e.g. things you get at 99 Ranch or Weee) to the database, since those were hard to find/track in other apps I've tried.

* Photo Logging - You can take a photo of a food and get an estimate of the calories and macros. It's not 100% accurate but it's been super helpful for me when eating at a restaurant that doesn't have published nutrition info.

* Recipe importing - You can pretty much point any recipe at the app and it'll import the ingredients and generate nutrition information for you. As I got more into fitness, I started to cook more so this has been super helpful.

* No Ads - The app is monetized via a subscription.

* Monetization - Most of the features are free, but there are a few which require a monthly or annual subscription ($4.99/month or $39.99/year). I also recently added a one time purchase option since a few folks had asked about it.

You can try FitBee here: https://apple.co/4aGUw5X. I'd love your feedback!
What if you have done the procedure and after it woke up in artificial environment. You'd be aware that there's biological remnant of pre-procedure you that will still experience other things than you will including dying and death. But he's separate entity and you are glad it's not you that are about to die.

Basically if you wake up after the cloning as your old biological self then you just drew the short straw. It's up to you if it helps you or not that there's another you that will continue on whatever you were doing without the nuisance of dying. Some people might find calmness in that they can freely die and nothing of value will be lost.

What about startrek transporters? Wouldn't you use them because you are getting disintegrated and what's create at destination is just a copy of you but not you?
Tynker has many games in the app. But they are basically the same type of game with different themes. Your kid will gravitate to whatever theme they like (princess, dragon, space, etc).

It would encourage him to reduce number of lines of code (i.e. use loops!) to get more stars. And we encouraged him to get 3 stars on every level.

It also provided both a block based view or a code based view of the work you're doing, which I thought was pretty cool.

Big thumbs up from my side for the app. It taught him the basics of loops and functions, through challenges to keep it motivation.

My kid loved the dragon theme.

does the 7900xt outperform the 3090ti? if so, there's already a market because those are the same price. I don't mean in theory are there any workloads that the 7900xt can do better? Even if they're practically equal performance you get a warranty and support with your new 7900xt.

The problem is that corporate interests pushed for a car-centric society. You can't point to consumer choice as a justification for the current system, when we were given little choice to begin with.

It might seem like a moot point in San Francisco where there is free public transit, but in cities like mine, there is an intentional lack of alternatives, in order for cars to be leveraged as a self-reinforcing socioeconomic class boundary.

The headband has eeg sensors which monitor brain activity looking for slow-waves (synchronous firing of neurons which define deep sleep).

30 degrees from the peak of a slow-wave we "interrupt" the brain with a brief 50ms pulse of sound. In response to this interruption, your brain increases the synchronous firing of neurons. Resulting in more restorative deep sleep without changing the sleep time.

Is that the sort of description you were looking for?
I use .xyz because I have a very common first and last name, and nearly all of the permutations of them were taken on .net, .com, .org, and .us; .xyz seems to price based on how desirable they think the name is, so I still couldn't get $FIRST-$LAST.xyz for a reasonable price, but I got something close.
This is so frustrating to me. I was involved in a cyber security club that just started in my university. Both complete incentive misalignment and lack of focus. In the first committee meeting I was excited and pitched a plan to go from "zero to one", setting up training curriculums, building talent pipelines (esp from year 1s) from the student populace to us, institutional knowledge retention to keep and grow knowledge, getting mentors/research links with professors etc. After drawing everything on a white board, I turned around to find a glassy eyed committee. Every single one said "nah, let's just meet every week and uh, talk about a ctf or something". The president looked around and agreed with them. Over the semester I realized the president was far more interested in going to events and introducing himself as president than actually having any impact. As I predicted at the start, the initial hype and momentum gave way to lethargy and indifference. Participation from both non members and members fell off a cliff.
The president attempted to block access to the National Assembly via police and military. The military administration's first order was to announce a ban on public gatherings and political activities and announce violators would be arrested without due process. This would have been a huge deal if it had been implemented even a few hours faster and the National Assembly were unable to convene.

The problem with "ego" as a concept IMO is that it carries negative connotations with most people and isn't exactly well-defined - some people might see it as always a bad thing (I think you might fall into this camp given that your phrasing "dedication and care expresses itself to others as ego" rather than saying it merely is ego). Personally I think that that is ego, but that ego is not necessarily a bad thing.

There is nothing wrong with taking pride in your work, nor in recognizing that you might actually be more knowledgable/skilled/correct in some particular matter than someone else and communicating that to them - as long as that sense of knowledge/skill/correctness is not misplaced, not expressed cruelly, and the actual reasoning is explained. To me, that is "good ego". But if someone thinks they always know better than someone else in all cases or isn't even willing to open discourse/explain why that's "bad ego".

I guess to me, the sentiment expressed in this article is one that I feel strays too far into the realm of toxic positivity or crabs-in-a-bucket where merely being opinionated or passionate about your work is a bad thing because sometimes other people get their feelings hurt when you explain why their approach won't work well. I just don't think being egoless is necessarily good. I certainly wouldn't sit there smiling while something I worked on for years got destroyed by other people, because it'd be impolite or egotistical to point out that they're destroying something. But of course, there is a difference between something actually getting ruined, and having a meltdown because someone started naming variable in snake_case instead of camelCase.

I came across this .pdf file of an article written by Andy Grove, which I think provides some balance https://iam.georgecox.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/how-to-...
In their defense it’s rare for a company that has sloppy quality in some products to be knocking it out of the park with another product. The same company culture that allowed the sloppy products in one area tends to prevent other teams from doing their amazing quality work. I’ve used various AWS services and found the ones they designed, or standard services they customized to have more bugs and problematic limitations than one would hope. I was especially angry at Aurora Postgres when it came out because their hacked up customizations introduced memory leaks. Their work made a DB I’ve used for 20 years for its reliability suddenly unreliable. I now work for a company that pays them a lot, so at least I see them fix bugs quickly now, but at startups that only paid them a few million they would ignore problems we reported. Their culture focuses on doing more at lower cost to the breaking point(they’re 21st century WalMart) and they have one of the worst reputations in the industry for burning out developers so it doesn’t surprise me when I run into bugs, silly limitations, or poorly thought out tooling.

Their consumer products are absolutely infuriating OCD triggers. For years in the Kindle app if you went back a page it would often start on a different paragraph than the first time you were on the page. The book reader didn’t implement the concept of a _page_ correctly for goodness sakes. And they clearly intended to emulate physical pages because they did implement a fancy page turn animation.

Huh? The incoming administration has a history of showing it not only doesn’t care about antitrust, it actively encourages monopolies.

If you read the article, they literally say it’s an Israeli company, and the AI chip lab is in Austin.

Sure, but judges have power too. As do companies with large budgets.

It’s a balancing act and I fear overturning Chevron shifts the balance to far in the other direction.
Authoritarianism inevitably results in state controlling the business. Or in different words, the state becomes the business. There is nothing free about that.
> My point is that, without an actual feature need or an actual vulnerability (none of these guaranteed to spring up in future), any time spent upgrading is potentially wasted. I know some projects are unlikely to last beyond a few years —- in those cases I think the risk is calculated enough to not matter too much.

You could make the same argument for any kind of code quality efforts. Frankly I think this site probably leans too far into a high-quality mindset, but apart from anything else good programmers won't want to work on a codebase that isn't seen as valuable and treated as such.
That's punk.
> not sure who's a bigger threat, five eyes governments who have boots on the ground, or the CCP, half the world away

One, you're comparing intelligence agencies working for elected governments with one working for a dictator.

Two, every operation needs disposable boots on the ground. If they do their job correctly, you should never know you were part of a scheme. The right person happened to be at the right place at the right time to be helpful to you in a time of need, and you may not have thought of whatever you told or gave them as being consequential. (Or you knew it was consequential but fell for their front. It's easier to scam someone when they're an open book to you.)

If this isn't intuitive, try flipping the board. What would the Five Eyes do with a personal dossier on every Chinese national? How could they make someone innocent's life a living nightmare in order to get something they want that happens to be near them?
The political appointees,
sure.

But the career bureaucrats? I’m not convinced.
There is an appeals process but it first requires me submitting proof that I wasn't driving in the express lane to them, rather than forcing them to produce any evidence (which, if they even had a photo, would immediately exonerate me). They would not accept my statement that the car was re-registered out of state and then sold, even though the CA DMV records confirmed that the registration expired years prior.

If I did submit proof and they still denied it, I could request an administrative review, but first I have to pay the fine as a deposit, which would be refunded to me if I won.

Of course, all of the reviewers work for the organization whose scanners falsely accused me in the first place. There is no independent traffic court for this expressway.
And producers have a price floor. In competitive markets production costs are nearing zero long term profits for manufacturers, so the externality costs must be passed on to consumers or the good stops getting made, since running at a loss isn’t a sustainable business.
Sure, but then why does the mainline branch need to worry about supporting the rust that’s bundled with the last stable Debian release? By definition that’s not going into a distro (or the distro is building mainline with rusts latest release anyway).

Is it a precautionary concern that backporting patches gets more complicated if the vuln is in Rust code?

But then again Rust code isn’t even compiled by default so I guess I’m not sure why you’re bothering to support for old versions of the toolchain in mainline, at least this early in the development process. Certainly not a two year old toolchain.
Those numbers are identical to the A770, and don't match the numbers from the preview[0], so I think that's a copy paste error.

If we use the numbers from the preview:

| |Arc A770|Arc B580|RTX 4060|
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
|Process |N6 |N5 |N5 |
|Die Size|406mm^2 |272mm^2 |159mm^2 |
|Trans. |21.7B |19.6B |18.9B |
|Mem Bus |256 bit |192 bit |128 bit |
|TDP |225W |190W |115W |
|~Perf |90% |110% |100% |

In terms of performance per die area it's a big improvement over A770 but still far behind Nvidia. It's interesting that the transistor density is so much lower than the 4060 despite having the same (or at least similar) process node. Speculating about why that may be:

- Nvidia has better layout.
- Intel is using higher performance (larger) transistor libraries or layout in order to hit the higher boost frequencies (2800 vs 2460).
- Wider bus interface takes up more space.
- The B580 may have 1 render slice and 64-bits of memory bus disabled, and they're not including those transistors in the count, but they still take up area.
