> Calling capitalism's market economics an idiocracy is.. tautological.

Thats definitely not true. The most ardent and smart defender of markets argued that they operate and optimize within the boundaries that society decides. If you legislate that people should be able to repair, own, exchange etc. stuff then markets will deliver exactly that. If you let them race to the bottom thats also exactly what you will get.
Great article! This was similar to my experience in ad-tech, though obviously more mundane. It's almost like people had to create artificial problems to avoid thinking about what they're actually building. Even language filled with euphemisms and acronyms was employed, I suppose to put the person at a distance from what they're building.

Even if there's nothing morally objectionable, like other places I've worked at, the product is so worthless that people would enter the same patterns of behavior.

Nonsense - a legal system must apply the law. Also, Jones wasn't "weird or peculiar" - he repeatedly disobeyed and misled the court.

This is like a soccer match where one team won by fifty goals, because the other team repeatedly committed fouls and then left the pitch, and you're arguing that the referee should disallow some of the goals because you feel in your gut that fifty is too many.

Break it down into manageable chunks. Do you have things documented?

I felt this way at first when I was doing my lead generation. I documented the process and brought on someone from the Philippines. I then ran into a similar situation where there were a lot of questions that I couldn't spend my time on. So, I built a GPT to help answer questions and to build another me to help them. This was simple and saved a ton of time.

Reflect on the tasks you are doing and pass off the work that you don't want to do first. Start small and continue passing off more work. You can hire a virtual assistant for $5-8 an hour, and it's beneficial to have some basic support. I also helped motivate someone who needed work.

It doesn't take much effort, let me know if you have questions on the tools and documents you would need to support something like this. I can share what I used.

That’s currently the case in C, in that you can convert pointers to and from uintptr_t. However, not every number representable in that type needs to be valid memory (that’s true on the assembly level as well), hence it’s only defined for valid pointers.

> I think a memory address is a number that CPU considers to be a memory address

I meant to say that, indeed, there must be some concept of CPU for a memory address to have a meaning, and for this concept of CPU to be as widely applicable as possible, surely defining it as abstract as possible is the way to go. Ergo, the idea of a C abstract machine.

Anyway, other people in this thread are discussing the matter more accurately and in more details than I could hope to do, so I'll leave it like that.
MySQL and MariaDB have diverged over the years. They each have some interesting major features that the other one lacks, and there's an ever-growing list of incompatibilities between them.

Amazon RDS does offer a MariaDB option, but Amazon Aurora does not. And other clouds often don't offer it. As far as I can tell from a quick search, Google CloudSQL does not offer a managed MariaDB product. Azure offers one, but they're officially retiring it next year.

This discussion is also a bit ironic because MariaDB created the BSL (for use in their proxy product), which is typically attacked alongside SSPL in these types of threads.

Not taking sides here, to be clear. I use both MySQL and MariaDB and am glad they both exist. And personally I have no problems with BSL (or SSPL etc) software, since I am not a cloud hosting provider.
I know effectively nothing about these topics but I recall having that thought the other day.

> I’m really not sure why the creditors in this case did a shady no bid deal… it seems they would have had an easy time buying out the junior creditors and then getting whatever they want, although I’m also not sure why anyone would want the “infowars.com” domain and a warehouse full of vitamin pills.

The creditors with smaller claims hate the guts of the creditors with bigger claims, and likely wouldn't sell for any amount of money. Also, I am not sure whose claims have been decided to be senior to other claims (seniority of claims has little to do with monetary amount). Not all types of debt are equal.
Gemini 1.5 indeed is a lot of hit-and-miss. Also, the politically correct and medical info filtering is limiting its usefulness a lot, IMHO.

I also miss that it’s not yet really as context aware as ChatGPTo4. Even just asking a follow-up question, confuses Gemini 1.5.

Hope Gemini 2.0 will improve that!
AMD actually sold the most popular RISC processor at this time, the AMD 29k.

"They were, for a time, the most popular RISC chips on the market, [citation needed] widely used in laser printers from a variety of manufacturers.

"Developed since 1984–1985, announced in March 1987 and released in May 1988, the initial Am29000 was followed by several versions, ending with the Am29040 in 1995."

The bottom and top 10% of most groups are going to be odd in this way.

stop posting, bro - you're literally killing the planet. turn off your device and send it away to be recycled, so someone else's descendants 100 years from now will have a few extra grams of copper. dig a hole somewhere in the wilderness and live out the rest of your life consuming nothing but grass and rainwater for sustenance. also try to breathe in moderation - you exhale CO2 every time, bringing the doomsday a bit closer, inch by inch.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

To answer your question directly: I'm pointing out unexpected privacy pitfalls of using a smart TV's full set of features (i.e. running apps and using it ... as a monitor).

Although I agree with the point of your solution... I disagree with minimizing the danger of such anti-features.

To elaborate, try thinking of your average reasonable person and think of their journey into learning how to preserve their privacy without losing access to the features of the services and products they have paid for. Without a massive effort it is ultimately an oxymoron.

A reasonable person would expect that your (internet connected) smart TV would collect info to help them tailor future products based on their customer's usage (app usage frequency, standard or cable usage frequency, frequency of usage as external monitor). You would not expect to have to watch what you say in front of the such a device because they're literally listening to you [0] (in 2015, you needed to use the remote to use the voice detection service).

Additionally, reasonable user's of smart TV's (and other IoT devices) might feel like they are no longer tracked with their uniquely identifiable information because they turned off "targeted advertising" (if the service allows for setting that option), but that only prevents their advertising ID from being tracked [1].

Moreover, a reasonable person might expect that using a DNS-based blocklist would be a sort of "revocation of consent" to being tracked, but tracking services are savvy when it comes to PII exfiltration [2]:

> [...] We find that personally identifiable information (PII) is exfiltrated to platform-related Internet endpoints and third parties, and that blocklists are generally better at preventing exposure of PII to third parties than to platform-related endpoints. [...]

Finally, there have also been studies that show a lack of transparency when it comes to GDPR requests about the data collected through Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) [3].

So, my point is that "just don't use your product for most of its intended use" might be a thought-terminating cliche that prevents us from taking a step forward in stopping the normalization of unreasonable privacy transgressions (PII exfiltration, audio spying by third-party service providers, monitoring of external devices' screens).

Thats not how I remember it.

Back then you already had the Am486 and the K5. They were fine but didn’t set the world on fire. It was the K6 that made a huge impact and that was a couple of years later (and a design they acquired externally.)

Intel mishandled the situation initially, but the whole episode was quickly put to rest when they reversed course and replaced all units (though I never returned mine.)
Exactly. On the same vein, it's only legal if it benefits them (“Finally, a judge followed the law.”), otherwise it's illegal persecution trying to silence his free speech.

>Any reading recommendations for introduction to the fundamentals of manual memory management specifically

here is a series written by the creator of Odin programming language about memory allocation

The core:mem package in standard library is a very great resource for memory management in Odin. The standard library's basically got it all.
One thing you need to be careful of when load balancing like this is buggy servers. Let's say you have a bug that makes a server handle requests by immediately failing them. That machine will start to look like it's performing really well, and so you start sending more requests to it, and more fail, etc.,. This can turn even a tiny canary of a build into a complete outage.

I'm also surprised the article says that is took days to equalize usage, it's unclear, but hopefully this is just because the were rolling it out slowly?

Is this a satire comment? I hope so or else you need to do some reading on what "free speech" actually means. It doesn't let you defame someone, for example, by telling them they were crisis actors in a mass killing of school children.

I used to use netflix DVD as a great supplement to a few streaming services. For awhile they had just about everything and were pretty reliable, which meant the occasional extra media didn't require a separate service just a bit of waiting. But then they let it rot and stopped replacing disks before finally shutting it down. I wish they'd just sold it and let some one else run it for maintenance costs but I guess it was probably also a competitor to their more profitable streaming service.

I don't see what emotions have to do with it. If a business has a claim for $28 million in debt against a bankrupt company with near zero cash, I could easily see them saying "we'll bid the full $28 million for the asset X". Presumably the asset X has some non-zero value. Even if comically low (like a single small office building), collecting the value of that asset is much better than $0.

'M4 Extreme' Chip Unlikely After Apple 'Cancels' High-Performance Chip
One could argue that "optimizing based on signed overflow" was an unreasonable step to take, since any given platform will have some sane, consistent behavior when the underlying instructions cause an overflow. A developer using signed operations without poring over the standard might have easily expected incorrect values (or maybe a trap if the platform likes to use those), but not big changes in control flow. In my experience, signed overflow is generally the biggest cause of "they're putting UB in my reasonable C code!", followed by the rules against type punning, which are violated every day by ordinary usage of the POSIX socket functions.

Regarding TPU’s, sure for the stuff that’s running on the cloud.

However their on device TPUs lag behind the competition and Google still seem to struggle to move significant parts of Gemini to run on device as a result.

Of course, Gemini is provided as a subscription service as well so perhaps they’re not incentivized to move things locally.

I am curious if they’ll introduce something like Apple’s private cloud compute.

You choose the behavior that fits your usecase:

Free plan: no accidental bills, but your site may be suspended if you go over the limits.
Starter plan: free as long as you stay under the limits, but you'll get billed for overages.
I've been interested in Dioxus, Leptos, egui, etc. for awhile, but I have to admit I don't know the technical workings of the framework.

On desktop/mobile, does Dioxus run as a native app? Is it an immediate mode renderer like egui? How do you style it? Or is it JavaScript + webview/electron?

On the web does it run as a WASM binary against a canvas renderer, or is it write to DOM? How does it talk to the DOM? WASM, JavaScript transpilation, etc.?

Can you do multithreading on web with web workers? Is the async story good? HTTP/gRPC clients?

Do you have to build your entire app in Dioxus, or can you incorporate other web (eg. React) apps? Can it talk to JavaScript?

How solid is the API now? Is it going to change a lot in the near future?

Do you think it'd be trivial to stuff a Bevy game inside of a Dioxus shell? We've thought it might be easier to prototype the UX outside the engine, especially since web is a deployment target.

How big is the community?

Looking into this for a project soon, so if any of the Dioxus devs can answer some of this, I'd super appreciate it. (Sorry for all the questions which may already be answered in the FAQ/docs.)

Big companies can be slow to pivot, and Google has been famously bad at getting people aligned and driving in one direction.

But, once they do get moving in the right direction the can achieve things that smaller companies can't. Google has an insane amount of talent in this space, and seems to be getting the right results from that now.

Remains to be seen how well they will be able to productize and market, but hard to deny that their LLM models aren't really, really good though.
I see a lot of growth among high schoolers (my wife is a teacher and I volunteer in the math center at the public school where she works, so I have a lot of contact with them). I also experienced it myself. My shift from picking locks (with mischeif in mind) to an enthusiasm for math and science was mediated by four or five great teachers.

> Some studies indicate you can probably skip a decade and show up to college and catch up to your peers in no time.

That might be true, but it comes at a cost which is that the first two years of college are just high school again.

I've been taking college classes for the last 20 years (most of it far less than full time). It's a bit of a hobby. Every time I switch majors I have to slog through this barrier of classes full of things I already know before I can get on to the good stuff. It's a really stark transition, after which the instructors start treating you like you're there to learn instead of like you're there to score points in some status game.

I always end up with really close relationships with the instructors when I'm wading through highschool 2.0 because they're usually pretty happy to have somebody asking questions about the content and not about what's going to be on the test and when I talk to them about this problem they tell me that they've had to realign the curriculum downward because there's a bunch of stuff which they can no longer rely on high school to teach.

So yeah, is broken. But it didn't used to be broken. Do you really think the way to fix it is to further lower our expectations about what can be usefully done in k-12?

Exempting charter schools from curricular oversight and letting them figure it out (or not) amongst themselves is only going to make for an even wider band of preparedness among college freshmen, which correlates with an even longer slog through highschool 2.0 while the colleges now do even more of the level-setting work that the highschools used to do. That makes the classes more boring, which make college a less attractive option. Plus the taxpayers aren't getting what they're paying for. It's a lose lose scenario.
I think there's some deep seated cultural issues in Intel and Gelsinger wasn't the person to fix them. I have friends who work there and it sounds like a different planet to the semiconductor company I work at. Intel does have the bonus of being 'too big to fail' from a US security point of view so I imagine those fabs will get finished one way or another.

Also, it's very laid back, but Bryan Cantrill's podcast touches on some of these issues. Interesting to see the perspective of an Intel customer [1].

Ask HN: My Vulnerable Art
I really fear I might have messed up my chance to get people to view my post. I originally posted as SHOW HN, but really I want to ask. This was my original post:

I'm an anon that's made enough to retire, relatively young.

But, I still suffer very badly from anxiety and depression (it runs deep in the family. Most of my childhood was in phyc wards with my mum).

I'm an alcoholic and a somewhat drug user, which is how I cope, along with SSRIs.

However, I have made an effort to document my highs with free-style Photoshop. It's cathartic and even when I'm sober I appreciate it, a lot. Like it was from a different person.

I am very naive about this, but is my art anything special, or is it run-of-the-mill garbage?

I'm not an artist, have no links to that world, nor am I schooled in it, so would love any feedback from anyone who is.

My site is https://heighart.com/ and it's half-built. I will build it out more with my full collection eventually, I just keep changing my mind on the UI/UX.
