"In the US, they want you to register some stupid MyHealth thing, sign some paper documents, and mail follow up shit to your residential address. They won't give you medical records on anything other than a fucking CD-ROM, even in 2024. Somehow in the US, a messaging app isn't "official" enough, and there's going to be the one first amendment brat* that doesn't want to install WhatsApp for privacy reasons."

That is because you don't have any good online ID authenticator. Something like BankId in Sweden is so incredibly practical in a lot of ways.
To be honest, I think some of it is what you suggest - a gamble on long odds, but I think the bigger issue is just a carelessness that comes with having more money than you can ever effectively spend in your life if you tried. If you're so rich you could hand everyone you meet $100 and not notice, you have nothing in your life forcing you to care if you're making good decisions and not being conned.

It certainly doesn't help that so many of the people who are that rich got that rich by conning other people this exact way. It's an incestuous cycle of con-artists who think they're geniuses, and the media only slavishly supports that by treating them like they're such.

Well, yes. Another part that prevented more rapid adoption of DP2.0 other than longer and longer upgrade cycle of GPUs and displays is that another option is to just use 2 cables for 51 Gbit/s which was also a thing with early 4k displays.

Do you live in the Netherlands? Because if you would, you find out that yes, there are many trains per day between the important cities. Not very efficient if you happen to live outside the main lines. The number or tracks are limited and accidents are frequent in the winter. So trains get delayed or cancelled. Not fun when you really can't miss getting to the destination on time - say from Den Haag to Schiphol.

Its all fun and games when things work out, but they don't all the time. And not to mention its really really hard to return from shopping at Ikea by train.

Biking, sure, fun, but not so autumn/winter/spring, especially in the areas close to the North Sea. The humidity and the wind makes the cold not very tolerable.

Have you checked the privacy policy of your photo lab/printer? It's possible that they're collecting digital copies of your pictures, selling them (or just information about them) to third parties, as well as selling them/turning them over to the police and other government agencies.
I agree fully but I'm going to play devil's advocate and say the person who just won the election won the popular vote so whatever you are about to get is democracy in action because the majority of people voted for what is about to happen.
Delay between uploading and response led to me uploading the pic 3 times.

The result: The AI analyzed the pic 3 times and each time added more detail - like the model of the burned out SUV, text on a traffic sign and more in-depth analysis of objects laying around the SUV.

A forth upload yielded some pure conjecture; it seemed to be looking for increasingly sinister causes.

There appears to be some damage to the windows of the car that is more than just fire damage suggesting that the vehicle may have been vandalized or attacked before the fire occurred. The debris scattered around the car is inconsistent, suggesting a possibility that the fire was not accidental.
Woah woah woah, let’s not get hasty here. Can’t we think of the shareholders for once?
No Intel either. The port would be easy - gpuintrin.h abstracts over the intrinsics, provide an implementation for those, write a loader in terms of opencl or whatever if you want to run the test suite.

The protocol needs ordered load/store on shared memory but nothing else. I wrote a paper trying to make it clear that load/store on shmem was sufficient which doesn't seem to be considered persuasive. It's specifically designed to tolerate architectures doing slopping things with cache invalidation. It could run much faster with fetch_or / fetch_and instructions (as APUs have, but PCIe does not). It could also hang off DMA but that isn't implemented (I want to have the GPU push packets over the network without involving the x64 CPU at all).
I luckily don't live in Holland anymore. And the public transport there is pretty bad. Overfilled, under maintained. The legacy of 30 years of neoliberal policy.
> I observe that these applications which are everything apps almost always have integrated payments platforms

But this is essentially a sample size of 1?

There’s definitely an advantage to having integrated payments if you want to do “everything” (most of which requires or is related to payment of some kind).

But IMO you’re missing the forest for the trees: adding a payment button to an app is essentially integrated from the PoV of the user - you can do it with Apple Pay or google wallet seamlessly. So why isn’t this good enough?

That lacks payments between friends, so that’s the most important factor? But then in most first-world countries you’re now competing against banks (old and new), who solve this really well, and a myriad of country-specific shit. That’s why they don’t exist.

So really, it’s not just “payments” - it’s becoming the common digital medium of exchange, and that can only happen now for very large, single currency markets that are starting to transition from an unbanked cash based society to a banked one.

You can’t just shove payments onto WhatsApp and expect people to use it to pay their utility bills in a market that has established and seamless ways to do this already. Why would companies make changes to support this?
Is that what's happening? It sounded to me as if you can download a photo from viatravelers.com, search by image, and then get competitor articles about the same subject.
Yeah that's the thing. I pay about 20€ in gas per month. No way I will ever ever make back that investment.

But if I still lived in Holland I'd pay more, true. Not so much more though because I've never had the heading on very high.

DisplayPort "fast AUX" stream is more than capable of returning audio or even video data to the "source" and some videoconferencing rigs even implement this. But I don't see why the industry would be motivated to adopt and consolidate around that standard when HDMI's bidirectional features already exist and are widely supported.
And context matters. Folks with this or that kidney problems can die from basically nothing while the median bloke doesn't even notice that their piss is a tad darker.
I meant they'll eventually exist for HDMI 2.2, the current ones probably won't support the new higher bandwidth modes.

Congrats on launching!

Limiting this to work only with folks who have MIDI keyboards attached to their machines probably cuts your audience down by 99.9999%. Especially here on hacker news.

I think you’re going to find it tough going to get any real feedback with that requirement. You might find better luck launching in a community of folks who are more likely to meet your hardware requirements.
I was talking about Holland but I don't live there anymore, luckily. Where I live there's not so many problems. But in Holland it's given rise to the extreme right parties.

Uv doesn't require .venv in the project directory, it's just the default. If you have a good reason why it doesn't work for your setup, you can place the venv dir anywhere and still use uv.

I mean this is kind of trivially true so I'm not really sure who you're arguing against— "I think we should have lower taxes" is a political statement that isn't art. But for the most part if you believe what you're doing it art, it's art— this is for sure a performance piece.

Yeah I have no idea how normal non-tech people are supposed to make any sense of USB-C cables and device compatibility.

Even us tech people find it difficult. Small rant - I have the M1 Max MacBook which comes with “USB4”. I remember at some point getting a SanDisk external “USB4” ssd which claimed 20Gb/s, you would think it should all work together.
But no, apparently the ssd needed 3.2 2x2 support, which the Mac doesn’t implement, since it’s apparently only a optional part of USB4 spec…

One other funny thing - Apple’s page for “Identify the ports on your Mac” has 5 separate entries that are all USB-C shape. https://support.apple.com/en-us/109523

Because WhatsApp was the first with password less-login using SMS login.

It was dead simple to use. You had a phone, installed Whatsapp, it sent you a verification text that it automatically read and verified to ensure you owned that phone number, and that was your “account”.

No user names to remember, no passwords, a completely computer illiterate person could use it, especially if their first device ever was a smartphone.

And it worked amazingly well. And there was no spam. I specifically remember sharing contacts being a pain in the ass until WhatsApp came along.
To younger people reading this post: if you don't know what you want in life, make more money. Set a FU money target and go for it. Use whatever legal means.
Yeah I fear this is the case really. At most, WhatsApp is a way to communicate with businesses while keeping a separation of concerns for those running them.

It is simply better than SMS and is dead simple. You can have a business app that makes this be a separate thing from your personal life while using the same phone.

I have seen it used as a way to contact restaurants or local stores, order stuff, but that was the extent of it. Just communication, nothing else.

For me, at least, it has only been the messaging app I'm willing to use to be in touch with non-techie friends.
In 2016/2017 there was much more awareness of Russian interference than there is now. The protests were more about legitimacy than about disagreement or dislike.

By 2021 the Putin/MAGA forces had accreted so much power that it was safer for Republican senators to bend the knee and acquit in the impeachement trial.

The way I handle that with jj is to keep those changes in a commit “on the side” rather than making them “on top” of the working copy. The FAQ entry for this describes the process (https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/FAQ/#how-can-i-avoid-...):

- Make a commit off main that includes these private changes

- Make a commit for the work you’re doing

- Create a merge commit on top of these two changes and work there

This works because the “DEBUG=true” change is already committed, but in a commit you never push to the remote. jj makes it easy to continually squash the work you want to keep from the merge commit into one where it belongs. And, there is a “private commits” setting you can use to prevent accidentally pushing that commit somewhere.

That’s a fun idea. I’ve always wondered about experimenting with u-nets and hourglass nets for text data since they’re so efficient at capturing global and local context (in vision, anyway). But I’ve never tried it.
I've tried prompts like this with Claude, but it can get so nitpicky of itself that it runs out of space for the actual answer. It seems it does help to train the model to do it.
Why would it not be allowed? All drivers are adults who, on a track, should be left to decide their own fate.

Spectators if they go there to watch should also be left to decide their own fate. It's not like they're not aware that accidents happens and a piece of a car can hit them right between the eyes and kill them instantly.

This "things should be banned on a track because they are unsafe" is getting tiring.
Of course, rapid emissions reductions would be best.

However, there are still two very solid arguments for capture, even if it has greater costs.

First, even if we somehow make emissions go to zero next Monday and forever after, the CO2 already baked into the atmosphere will still cause massive warming for centuries, and this will cause massive ecological disuption. Only removing the carbon (and/or implementing sun-blocking technologies) will allow a fast enough reset to pre-industrial levels and avoid such damage.

Second, it is extremely unlikely that we could make emissions go to zero in anything like the required timeframe. Even if somehow 100% of the people and politicians became convinced and decided to start next Monday, it would be decades before we approached zero emissions. Replacing all the fossil-fuel technology will not be instant. Thus, again, capture and sun-blocking tech has a definite role in rapidly repairing the damage.
Which ones do those things?
There's no app that has been adopted faster than ChatGPT. Today, just 2 years off launch, it's one of the top ten most visited sites in the world. And they had some ~10M paid users a few months ago, nearly quadruple what they had the same time last year.

I am pretty sure this is just a gimmick. I would not call libc code in a GPU kernel. It would mean dragging in a whole bunch of stuff I don't want, and cant control or pick-and-choose. That makes sense for regular processes on the CPU; it does _not_ make sense in code you run millions of times in GPU threads.

I see people saying they've "dreamed" of this or have waited so long for this to happen... well, my friends, you should not have; and I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment.

This is libc running on the GPU, not a libc spanning CPU and GPU. The primary obstruction to doing that is persuading people to let go of glibc. The spec of "host runs antique glibc, GPU runs some other thing that interops transparently with glibc" is a nightmare of hacks and tragedy.

What would be relatively easy to put together is llvm libc running on the host x64 and also llvm libc running on the GPU. There's then the option to do things like malloc() on the GPU and free() the same pointer on the CPU. Making it genuinely seamless also involves persuading people to change what function pointers are, do some work on the ABI, and preferably move to APUs because PCIe is unhelpful.

There's an uphill battle to bring people along on the journey of "program the things differently". For example, here's a thread trying to drum up enthusiasm for making function pointers into integers as that makes passing them between heterogenous architectures far easier https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-function-pointers-as-intege....
Unfortunately, here in the US, the elderly are often completely without any sort of dental coverage.

The story is even wilder: because Yoon was a former prosecutor who went after the previous conservative president Park, when Moon (the previous liberal president) appointed Yoon as chief prosecutor, it was initially widely opposed by conservatives.

And what did he do? Almost immediately after becoming chief prosecutor, he starts hunting down Cho Kuk, his superior (minister of law) who Moon just appointed, and Cho's whole family members, in a blatantly motivated investigation. And also doing the same for Lee Jaemyung, the current opposition leader, who is now one supreme court verdict away from becoming ineligible for the next presidential election, for violating some election law.

(One can argue for days whether Cho and Lee did crimes, maybe they did some, but it's clear that if prosecutors were 10% as enthusiastic in investigating other politicians, half of the current legislative and executive branch would be out of jobs.)

...which gave him a gigantic publicity boost as "defender of law and order," but it was always built on hypocrisy and Korean prosecutors' ability to take care of their own first. We knew Yoon was a hypocrite, but nobody expected him to be crazy enough to start a coup. In one drunken decision Yoon apparently handed presidency to his archenemy Lee Jaemyung, who's also known for being rather divisive and not forgiving his enemies. Talk about karma.

Human predation of mammoths probably contributed to their eventual extinction, but the changing climate almost certainly played a large role as well. If humans hadn’t been around to hunt them they’d probably be extinct anyway. When they finally did go extinct about 4,000 years ago, they were only present on one island way up in the Arctic circle.

Additionally, during the same time period megafauna in Africa have (well, until recently) continued to thrive despite the presence of humans and earlier hominids for millions of years.

The difference is that humans were not native to the Americas, and arrived rather suddenly some tens of thousands of years ago. Meanwhile animals in Africa (and Asia and Europe which were populated much earlier than the Americas) spent much more time co-evolving with humans as predators.
