This, their training data doesn't even seem to be open either. So it's literally impossible to replicate their model. This makes me highly skeptical.
I wonder why they decided to make the move, so curious.

Stroboscopes are creating hazardous situations. Everyone will start escalating their visibility until you can't see shit. Bikers need to wear reflective clothing, especially in London. I fucking hate those dudes all black on a black bicycle at night strobing their way through traffic.
Pedestrian safety is one of the reasons it will be hard to ever sell the Cybertruck in Europe without significant modification. People who have imported them themselves have had to fit rubber strips on all the sharp edges, and I'd imagine that if they were to sell them locally the rules would be even more strict. The shape is inherently dangerous to pedestrians, particularly children.

I don't like Supreme Commander, but I definitely agree it is the competitor of Starcraft 2. AoE don't seem this way to me, these games are so clunky. And tens if not hundreds of titles that feel like inferior reskins.
Agreed, but it seems likely that people will casually pick this up instead of actual Postgres without fully appreciating the potential for consistency issues. I'd feel happier if AWS marketing applied your description of the value proposition - 'DynamoSQL'.
There are many good LED light bulbs for vintage bikes on Amazon which can be directly used with a dynamo. I have been a happy user for years now. Replacing / recharging bike light batteries is a life overhead I don't need.
Would that be the country that has the highest number of cyclist deaths in the EU, twice as many as the next highest country, four times as many as in the UK which has 3/4 the population?

Here's a hint: Germany is extremely car-centric and makes regulations that cater to drivers, not road safety.

Just by sending the packet.

That's essentially how NAT hole punching works. It doesn't work on all routers, but most do just route the packet. You just need to know the exact configuration of the network and send the correct packet through a valid port and it goes through

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_punching_(networking)
Lol, because the other places we get fuel from are beacons of democracy.
I actually agree, they work great for drawing attention. The problem is, they're so distracting that they cause other problems. As a cyclist myself, I consider them a lot more selfish than bringing a steel cocoon with airbags with you.

Recently I met one of these idiots on a dark cycle path and I veered away from them instinctively (partly because I could see they were present but couldn't judge where they were) and then overcompensated and swerved behind them - very nearly hitting their child on a kid's bike behind! I hadn't seen their child because I was blinded by the adult's light. They probably thought they were keeping their child safe but they were really putting them in danger.
I think all the people saying "just use a CPU" massively underestimate the speed difference between current CPUs and current GPUs. There's like four orders of magnitude. It's not even in the same zip code. Say you have a 64-core CPU at 2Ghz with 512-bit 1-cycle FP16 instructions. That gives you 32 ops per cycle, 2048 across the entire package, so 4TFlops.

My 7900 XTX does 120TFlops.

To match that, you would need to scale that CPU up to either 2048 cores, 2KB per register (still one-cycle!) or 64Ghz.

I guess if you had 1024-bit registers and 8Ghz, you could get away with only 240 cores. Good luck thermal dissipating that btw. To reverse an opinion I'm seeing in this thread, at that point your CPU starts looking more like a GPU by necessity.
A blinking light is off as often as it is on.
Something to consider about those statistics is that they don't include mainland China's massive IPv6 adoption, because the great firewall of China isn't going to "just" let you use Google. The Chinese government is actively pushing ISPs to deploy IPv6 to the point where [it's banning IPv4 NAT devices starting next year](https://www.lightreading.com/regulatory-politics/china-direc...). If you do see traffic from mainland China, it'll probably be through a VPN, and VPNs tend to be IPv4-only.

Most companies and servers probably won't care about Chinese visitors, but that still comes down to 763 million internet users that don't show up in the IPv6 statistics for companies like Google.
> disabling NAT results in "exposed" LAN devices

"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not."

NAT was used as a blocking method for all incoming connections for SOHO networks for decades.
Such statistics without the full context are meaningless. How many people per capita cycle in the UK vs DE.

It's expected that if a lot more people cycle, you're gonna have more cycling deaths than in countries where fewer people cycle.

If nobody would cycle you'd have zero cycling deaths, hooray problem solved, you successfully gamed the metrics, if wining arbitrary metrics is the goal.
> I have yet to see a single bike light that actually lets you direct the light just to the road

My 1975 vintage Peugeot bike already has a front light with a lens that directs the beam downwards, can be adjusted to point even further downwards with a screw, and even has a small shield on top of the lens to stop the beam from travelling upwards.

It works perfectly with the original dynamo and a cheap LED light bulb from Amazon.

In sweden a while ago they ran news about a "russian spy whale".

It's actually a whale with some harness, nothing attached to the harness, that has lived around norway and sweden for several years… So in no way connected to ukraine. But the title and the article just look better that way.
Excellent points!

I wonder why these almost never considered.
> There's very few high-service income workers. I served tables through university, even if you make $400 in one night there's not enough of those nights for you to be "high income".

I wonder if this has changed as both prices and tip percentages have gone up. At $50/person tickets and a 20% tip, you'd only need to serve 100 people to make $1000 in tips. 100 people a night is unrealistic for many restaurants, but I'd think a server working full time could easily do a couple hundred customers a week which is $100k/year in tips.
Hence it will
> Do people in the EU consistently behave politely and turn them off when appropriate?

In the EU countries I usually drive in, yes they do. If they don't, you turn your own high beams on until their turn theirs off and generally they do it within a second or so, they had probably just forgot them.
I disagree, it seems what is obvious to you isn't to me and vice-versa so we're unlikely to have anything productive going on here.
> I think you're moving the goalposts. You invoked deaths directly attributable to industrial process.

Directly or indirectly, industrial processes are always going to be somewhat dangerous. TFA is discussing indirect deaths due to formaldehyde.

> Are there recorded deaths from long term wearing of a positive pressure suit?

Not that I know about, but then again I wouldn't be surprised if there were deaths due to equipment failure and suffocation. The materials used in them certainly contain various low level carcinogens.

> And why exactly would that be "somewhat" toxic? Is it "somewhat" lethal then?

Point is it's balancing risks. It isn't lethal directly at levels used in many industrial processes, but exposure over a long time does increase cancer risk and fatality risk. Then again so do many other common materials.
The way I do this, I duplicate each entry for the commit-under-splitting N+1 times when splitting it into N parts.
Then for each, I manually edit the commit to its desired state during the interactive rebase, and then the last one should be empty (or only consist of leftover changes that should be dropped).

12 channel DDR5 is actually 12x32-bit. JEDEC in its wisdom decided to split the 64-bit channels of earlier versions of DDR into 2x 32-bit channels per DIMM. Reaching 768-bit memory buses with DDR5 requires 24 channels.

Whenever I see DDR5 memory channels discussed, I am never sure if the speaker is accounting for the 2x 32-bit channels per DIMM or not.
Very good! I love it! Hope he keeps programming. Tell him i played against a flying snake and won with every calculation right! :)
I loved the animation. There is ofc always ways to improve this but I think this is a very good result!

An easy thing to improve would be to center the screen. Then it would be easier to play for people with larger screens or on large tablet screens.
When I grew up we had a heap of rules for bicycle lighting drilled into us (ok not that badly but I remember them for the most part), one of them was the angle of your headlight should be at xyz to not blind other traffic. And that was in the time of bulb lights and dynamos so the lights would've been a lot more gentle anyway. Since then they've slacked the rules by a lot due to the sheer amount of decrepit and new/modern bikes on the road that didn't conform, so now instead of a red rear light and a white section on your rear fender, a shitty 1 euro LED light strapped to the back of your backpack or package carrier is apparently enough. And LED front lights are a thing, often aimed straight ahead for visibility / being able to see further than three meters ahead of you.

I mean I'm guilty myself, got myself a new bike a few years back that has a headlight built into the frame etc.
The problem is not new TLDs, the real problem with phishings in 2024 is that the free Cloudflare layer allows phishers to be protected from automatic phishing detection tools like the ones I develop at my current job.

They also don't offer any programs for trusted third parties so we have to spend a lot of time bypassing and paying for services that skip Cloudflare instead of taking down phishing sites.
Indeed. Here in New Zealand none of the mobile carriers have deployed IPv6 on mobile (and there are apparently no plans to do so) so we are at 0% for Mobile IPv6. Meanwhile all except one of the major fixed line carriers have IPv6. I don't have % figure but I would estimate >50% of fixed line connections here have IPv6 enabled (at least at the provider's end).
Blinking lights stand out more but also makes it near impossible to accurately judge speed and direction, especially with multiple cyclists on the road. That's why it's illegal to use blinking bike lights* here in the Netherlands.

*: technically, you're allowed to use blinking bike lights during the day, but what's the point

Given the number of private companies that rely on Perl, $25K is in the ballpark of what _each_ of these companies should contribute to the Perl community.

DDG is not responsible for the greed of companies that contribute zero.

I applaude DDG's decision. Their move is pragmatic and a lot more inspiring to the companies out there than day-dreaming of a single company donating 7- or 8-digit to the Perl community (which, frankly, would not be sane either).
> 'modern team structures'

This kind of argumentation somehow never settles with me and blocks me from reading on. 'modern', 'new', 'trendy', 'state of the art', 'industry practice' and alike all resonate with 'I do not know so I mimic how others do' in my mind. Weird, but do.

Are 'modern' team structures a desirable reference?

How about saying 'today's problematic team formations'? I'll try to understand so and read on.

Heh, about 10 years ago I read that book and figured out a few things:

* how to instruct my friend to make a simple 3d rendering "engine"

Nice to see the same stuff distilled into an article.
> An iPhone or a Toyota Corolla costs the same in the US as it does in China.

A maxed out iPhone costs RMB 13999 in China, which is about USD 1925. The same iPhone costs USD 1599 in the US. In Brazil it costs the equivalent of USD 2565. PPP is still very much relevant.
I don’t understand (or maybe I’m just too used to online sarcasm) are you calling BS on this claim? Or is it actually possible.

So until the new satellites are deployed and all receivers are replaced (say a decade or so), all civilian GPS could be jammed, shutting down a lot of civilization. Sure the military missiles will hit their targets, but nothing else will work. It would be like trying to fly near Ukraine right now where large holes in GPS appear frequently, but instead happening across the world. There are indeed very large civilian consequences to current GPS vulnerabilities, regardless of what Lockheed says. And many military systems eventually rely on the civilian world for long term support.

Meh, it can practically never be perfect, without diminishing returns that at some point invalidate the advantage of any incremental builds anyway.

As I said, you can let the C compiler generate your header dependencies for you. But that's not enough, because what's with header and libraries that are external for your project? Keep in mind that they will have dependencies, too, and at some point your transitive closure will be really big.

To a lesser degree, what's with a compiler, linker, or any random other part of your toolchain that changes (at least those are supposed to mostly keep a stable interface, which isn't the case at all for external libraries, but in some cases the toolchain can cause the footguns you mentioned).

A lot of the times, you don't need to rebuild everything just because a system header or the toolchain changed, but your build system would have a hard time knowing that. Because at some point, the halting problem even gets in your way (i.e. you can't really reliably detect if a given change in a header file would need rebuilding of a source file, which you would need for "fully incremental" builds). So it's always a trade-off.

Personally, I've fared very well with generated header dependencies (sometimes manually declared ones or none at all for small projects), and many other projects have, too.

YMMV of course, but I don't observe this to be bad. Most people who program C and use make are, I think, aware of what header mismatches can cause, and how to avoid that.
Hello - I am with the team behind The Ac28R. There has been much talk recently about whether an LLM could ever write complex accurate software code. But LLM shortcomings are becoming increasingly apparent - they rely on imprecise human prompts and must still be closely checked by a software engineer.

The Ac28R is different - it’s based on a brand new type of AI we have built from the ground up. Instead of writing software using a programming language, you create visual specifications using Inverts. The Ac28R then analyses the Invert structure, and in a matter of seconds it can generate industrial strength software. We now have a full working copy, and it can operate against enterprise databases. There’s no logic needed anywhere.

Since the Ac28R is not an app, we are not able to link the product for you to play with. However we have created a series of demonstration videos on our YouTube channel which show exactly how it works, and we plan on releasing more videos as we add new capabilities. Our website also contains a lot of useful background material (including the demonstration videos).

We’re excited about this breakthrough, but we understand that we’ll face a fair bit of scepticism, given that it turns current practices on their head. We’ve therefore put a lot of effort into our demonstration videos.

We’d very much appreciate any feedback you would be willing to offer. In particular, do the explanations make sense, and are there any obvious objections that we haven’t addressed?

Without entering the territory of flamewars, Go is objectively more verbose than Java, so I don't really see your point.
CUDA is not the issue. AMD have already reimplemented like 80% of it, and honestly that part of it mostly works fine. Pytorch supports it, (almost) all the big frameworks support it, if you're not doing really arcane things it just works. It's the drivers! They took like two years after the release of their flagship card to stop randomly crashing. Everything geohot has ever said about AMD drivers is 100% true. They just cannot stop shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm a senior SWE with a backend/systems focus, a knack for debugging and problem solving, and many years of experience in the the fintech and IB space. My passion is designing and building reliable and sleek systems that run like clockwork and require minimal maintainance. I specialize in exchange connectivity, trade interfaces, market data, and all kinds of high performance, high availability distributed systems. I've been fully remote since 2018 and have a succesful track record serving clients in the US, Europe and the UK (I can work EST hours if need be). I'm always interested in working on cutting edge stuff, so if you are building something innovative and challenging, please do get in touch.
>They can switch several hundred million times a second

Huh. Wasn't expecting that.
Indeed. What concerns me is that with the current AI trends, the amount of funding that the Adobes of the world will put into AI for their products will only widen the gap between OSS and proprietary solutions.

I remember in a prior job that I had just joined when I was still new to the field, they had a bug board where they collected all the most common bugs users were experiencing.

I decided to, in the middle of the sprint when I was done with the sprint work and had some small downtime, take care of some of the smaller bugs that were easy to fixup in a day's notice. My PM at the time immediately questioned why I'm working on "irrelevant" tickets and not focusing on the wider project we were working on, the senior I was working under had the same stance, and the PR never ended up being merged. It was like 20 lines of very easy to comprehend code that was fixing one of the most reported bugs our users had, like 6 figure number of reports since the bug card was created.

When I left that company a year and a half later, that bug card was still open, with my now-rotting PR sitting there with a "closed" status.

It really jaded me on all of these bullshit processes, sprints, AGILE, whatever you want to call it. It was obvious that nobody gave a shit about what we were building and how, it's all just a game to pad yourself up and to look good to the higher ups who control if you get a raise or not. If someone above you can't somehow gain a lot by boasting about the work done, then you might as well not do it. I fucking despise the mindset and how prevalent it is in the industry.
That is neat, but also super brittle, and full of abstraction leakiness, potentially leading to both false positives and negatives. Sounds like it would break down with ccache or distcc immediately, for example.
You are welcome to propose more efficient ways of funding OSS.
What are the use cases for this?

Could you have video calls with no internet just over routers and then later added people via internet if wanted to?
