And though Sun was undeniably more worthy of sympathy than Oracle is, Sun’s original claim on the trademark seems just as bogus as Oracle’s current one.

Oh! This is it! This is exactly why I wanted to create a new algorithm!
Pretty straightforward: you send an event for which variation your user saw and another when they login, attaching the login method to the attributes.

You can use Mixpanel or Heap, which have mechanisms for mapping the non-logged-in user to your verified user on login, though you might need a bit of custom code to do it.
No, this is an area where Lustig is probably wrong, and definitely making unsubstantiated statements.
I was raised very loosely Lutheran (Christian). We barely went to church and stopped entirely after I was confirmed. I practice it exactly 0% now and have never in my adult life.

However I feel like something got cooked into me, and maybe even my parents, that gives me a bit of guidance here. I can't explain it but I feel like I have a foundation that is preventing me from feeling the empty nihilism that plagues a lot of folks.
Yeah, the moment I read "Serve your app as XML" my brain instinctively began to move on but it's really just HTML-like semantic snippets that remind me of WebComponents. Example:

https://github.com/Instawork/hyperview/blob/master/demo/back...

However, this warning statement should be in bold at the top: "If your app relies on offline data or local computations, Hyperview won't be the right choice."

For that reason, I lean toward https://volt.build/
It's not about the users of that competing platform, but about the country where the parent company is registered (https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/24/tech/tiktok-douyin-bytedance-...).
One thing I recently found annoying with Slack was that I wanted the company chat on my phone, but I didnt want the company’s email on my phone given the overly broad control of my phone

so I got the magic link on their computer and then I made a qr code

but wait, the email quarantine system had altered the whole link so I had to extract that

but wait the redirect url back to slack was malformed because of the url encoding and i had to fix that and then make the qr code

like wow just give me a qr code or code instead in the original magic link email!
> Magic links without an OTP fallback are more secure as the initial setup process because they can't be phished...but it's much harder to get them to provide the link to them.

It's not that much harder. 'Due to security reasons, please copy and paste the entire link that we just sent you into the following input box. If you don't, your account will be compromised!'
Back in 2018 I've been involved in a product development based on TX2. I had to untangle the entire nasty mess of Bash and Python spaghetti that is JetPack SDK to get everything sensibly integrated into our custom firmware build system and workflow (no, copying your application files over prebaked rootfs on a running board is absolutely NOT how it's normally done). You basically need a few deb packages with nvidia libs for your userspace, and swipe a few binaries from Jetpack that have to be run with like 20 undocumented arguments in right order to do the rest (image assembly, flashing, signing, secure boot stuff, etc), the rest of the system could be anything. Right when I was finished, a 3rd party Yocto layer implementing essentially the same stuff that I came up with, and the world could finally forget about horrors of JetPack for good. I also heard that it has somewhat improved later on, but I have not touch any NVidia SoCs since (due to both trauma and moving to a different field).
Although likely to be way off the point, I'm reminded of the poor image that electric cars had before Tesla - that they were basically revved up golf carts.

Someone needs to find a "tesla of risc-v chips" that's insanely fast, even if its a premium price. Once the image is shaken, we can move into commodity chips.

But I guess we have the (slow) golf cart for now.
You can reject my experience all you want but the reality is that between 2020 and 2023ish the world’s top social media platforms became less open about specific kinds of information and actively tried to censor and suppress any contrary information to a government opinion/narrative about certain subjects. During this time certain forms of extremism exploded in popularity as people were driven to information silos to find and learn about the information that the social media platforms were trying to suppress. Those silos generally didn’t have censorship but they also didn’t have contrarian voices either. So when folks landed in those silos all they heard was the assholes at the loud volumes and without the contrarians, followed those assholes.

Specifically to vaccines, the antivax crowd was pretty minimal to a some nutjob soccer moms, holistic medicine fanatics, and RFKjr until you stopped having conversations with them, because you folks who want or believe that censorship is good silenced the debate and did not follow them to the forums where they went to spread their ideas to continue the debate.

I am absolutely convinced that the growth in the antivax movement is directly tied to the censorship effort (and the desire of the government to not be completely honest about the vaccines at the time).
Username and password combo works. All these ceremonies around OAuth, passkeys, and magic links solved one problem but introduced two more. My job as a service provider isn’t to coddle people who can’t be bothered to use a password manager.

Auth is the worst part of building a service and sucks all the fun out of it. API auth is a mess because people can’t keep a token string secret. Now we need JWTs, OAuth, token refreshing, and a whole bunch of BS that no one enjoys.

One reason why OpenAI and Anthropic APIs are so much more fun to use than Google and AWS offerings is that you get a token and are responsible for keeping it safe. It makes the entire workflow dead simple. I’m not creating a new project or fiddling with IAM just to try out an endpoint.
I actually use Hacki, and in fact was a bit surprised to see this listed here hehe.

I use it on my phone for three particular reasons:
1) Good dark color-scheme (easier on my eyes when I'm inside)
2) Adjustable font (HN default is way too small for me on a small phone screen)
3) Easily collapsible threads (you just tap anywhere on the comment

Everything else is irrelevant to me, as I barely comment. I'm more interested in the reading, most of the time, and the app helps with that.

(Not a lawyer.) To have rights to a trademark, you have to use it in, well, trade. It’s not enough for a term to refer to a specific thing in normal usage, you must have a widely recognized claim on that thing. It should be in the customer’s interest that your thing not be confusable with thing-alikes that others may offer, specifically by having an exclusive right to be sold as the thing. And Oracle demonstrably does not deal in “JavaScript” any more than many many other companies and individuals do.
If you can’t change, test and deploy each service independently from the others, you don’t really have separate services. You just have a Ball of Mud held together with HTTP calls.
In Safari, show the Web Inspector and then shrink the window so that the inspector takes up all of the space.
> Do you believe the success or failure of these moderating features comes down to how accurate they are? People actually like Community Notes; they're part of the discourse on Twitter (even if most of them are pretty bad, some of them are timely and sharp). Meanwhile: Facebook's fact-checking features really do work sort of like PSA's for trolls. All the while, fact-checks barely scratch the surface of the conversations happening on the platform.

You're making a whole host of assumptions and opinions about this, with little in the way of data (I get it, you don't work at FB, how much data could you have?), just making blanket statements: "People hate Fact Checks", "People actually like Community Notes" and accepting them as accurate.
In my experience people use it to mean "old crap that we can't get rid of (yet)".
also a lot of people won't acknowledge that as far as damage that sugar is likely just as bad as HFCS. both should be heavily reduced

Almost no one plays on native 4k anyway. DLSS Quality (no framegen etc) renders at 1440p internally and by all accounts there is no drawback at all, especially above 60fps. Looks great, no noticeable (excluding super sweaty esports titles) lag and 30% more performance. Combined with VRR displays, I would say 4k is perfectly ok for gaming.

Pretty amazing, huh. I'm going through some other interviews: currently Bas Ording
Your job as a service provider is, in fact, to minimize the likelihood that you will manage to communicate the passwords of your users to outsiders, because those passwords are very likely to be shared. That passwords should not be shared doesn't reduce your responsibility.
I disagree, since the feelings it can cause are still real. If making people excited through marketing makes them more motivated to work (increasing their "utility" in dry econ terms), that's the same kind of value creation as any physical product. I'd rather summarize the ill effects as "Nobody is immune to propaganda."
I think that it would help if you were to suggest a term people who don’t want to ‘shut down discussion about related topics all together’ should use. Otherwise, the effect (although perhaps not the intention) of deprecating the term ‘attacks on trans people’ is that the sort of discussion you admit is possible theoretically will be impossible for want of a suitable term to designate the sorts of attacks it concerns.
One could see it as patchy, when you access an airline's website and before you can do anything useful, you have to load scripts that do who knows what, from 20 third party domains, that have nothing to do with you searching or booking a flight. Basically cobbled together slow as molasses ton of scripts, that probably barely work at all.
Most numbers people are touting are from "Ultra everything benchmarks", lowering the settings + DLLS makes 4k perfectly playable.

There is one major 4 letter difference - TSMC. Nvidia will get tech process improvements until TSMC can't deliver, and if that happens we have way bigger problems... because Apple will get mad they can't reinvent iPhone again... and will have to make it fun and relatable instead by making it cheaper and plastic again.

I can and do notice when a driver update or similar switches my monitor's refresh rate or mouse polling rate down. In the game I play most there is an inbuilt framerate test tool to see what the best framerate you can notice the difference between visually is. I and many other players are consistent (20 correct in a row) up to 720fps.
Thanks for the kind words!

Your best bet for floating point determinism is to stick with doubles. Then, in 64 bit code, the double math will be done with the XMM registers and instructions, which will stick with 64 bit arithmetic.
I'm not sure about better, but I'm concerned about a second Rohingya genocide.

There was a lot wrong with Facebook's moderation system. Spend any time in any politically active groups -- or groups that like to discuss politics -- and you'll quickly find people complaining about deranking. Based on both the extreme frequency with which it's reported and my own experiences with Meta, I believe that they're not making it up.

But Meta's moderation tools don't primarily exist -- as I understand it -- to keep discourse informative. They exist so that Meta doesn't accidentally become somewhat responsible for another genocide.

I think that community notes may be a better move for public discourse, but most conversations on Facebook itself happen in groups, and in groups nobody is going to be posting Community Notes that go against the trend of the group -- even if they might be useful for totally public discourse.
The lasers are not Gaussian but Lorenztian. This is a detail that’s not terribly important.

The lasers generate frequencies in C-band at ~194THz. The O-band photon source is ~229THz. Classically these fields do not interact.

For passive beam splitting, there is also no quantum interference. The photo detectors are broadly sensitive to both frequency bands. So if the C-band light hits the photodiode you won’t be able to count photons. The filters are there to reduce the background “noise” of the C-band light hitting the photodiode that’s being used for photon counting. The use of filters for this purpose is very common and really not that interesting.
Very good post
I want to be excited about this but I feel like I don't quite get it.

What I imagined from the subject heading is like a barebones canvas with the most rudimentary implemented features, but then a neat way of building more features. If that's what it is, then it needs some docs.
Exactly, you get it. That's the goal of the project, no undefined behavior, no hazy specifications. :) I've dabbled in this space for quite a while now, I can assure you that dependency on implementation idiosyncrasies get increasingly worse with complex VMs.
Nope.. maybe. Valve now requires anti cheat to be present on the store page. Highlighted in yellow along with EULAs and 3rd party login.

Apex Legends did not have kernel level anti cheat even though recently they block linux/steamdeck users. Marvel Rivals[1] does not. A store page of game with kernel level anti cheat would be Delta Force[2].

Then again, I'm not sure how true this is since I'm pretty sure its the devs responsibility. GTA5 apparently added anti cheat[3] but their store page didn't indicate any.

I take the "this seems to be true, based on what I know, subject to more information" approach.

I'm ok with not knowing things.

We can measure all sorts of things, and put them in a human context, which is very reassuring. What's a wave? What's a wavelength? What's a unit of measure? These are not universal truths, these are human inventions. Things we've created in order to communicate a shared understanding with each other of things we've observed. It makes us feel knowledgeable, lets us build cool things, and that's a good thing!

It also interferes with learning, and that's a bad thing. For example, (and I'm not taking a position on this either way, because I don't know) I think it's very unlikely, based on your comment, that it would be easy to convince you that Trump is not a criminal. Or, to pick a less controversial topic, to convince the early Catholic church of the heliocentric model of the solar system. Because they already had the "facts."

It's a comfortable position to know things.

It's uncomfortable to not know. As I've gotten older, I've become more comfortable with being uncomfortable.

I'm even between these two, and I used to be very in favor of Google. At this point, Google has not improved a single product in the last 5 years.
First, calling my conduct “emotionally driven” really doesn’t work as an insult for me.

I still don’t consider what I have done as “toxic”. I used discretion to not press charges because I don’t think that pushing a kid through the system was going to lead to anything good.

Let’s say grant that a stolen iPhone wouldn’t lead to jail time, let’s say I am wrong about that. Even if that’s the case, if I genuinely believed that jail time was in the picture, are you saying that my decision here was “rational”?

Also, no, you’re the one LARPing. You’re inventing future victims that you do not have any reason to think exist as a means of dismissing my point.
Last time around Trump had... let's call them "more seasoned" people around him that kept him from trying to carry out some of his wilder ideas. This time he's made it clear that he's trying as hard as possible to remove as many people as possible who might try to stop him.

So I think "crazy statements that aren't expected to become reality" is a bit over-optimistic. Trump expects at least some of his crazy statements to become reality, and he intends to make that happen, and he's going to remove all the restraints within the administration. So it's pretty much Congress or the courts who are going to have to tell him no (or, worse, the military).
If they can finance the purchase (at an arms-length price), they can already buy the company; no law change is needed.

The idea already exists and does not need to be legislated into existence: it’s a leveraged buyout (LBO).

A law change is only needed if you want to force a sale at a lower price than the current owner(s) will accept. In other words, if you want to forcibly take the company from them for less than the price they are willing to accept, so basically seize part of the value of private property and give it to other private people. I agree that would be unpopular.
It's not a myth (I wrote ATS systems, and you usually just pay some third party to do the core parsing job as a library or a service and take your failures on the nose) but at the same time most recruiters are NOT going into past resumes and filtering through them, and most of the wide shot resume hits you get on linkedin are for the lowest tier of jobs.

Almost all recruiters are "most recent resume in" type of folks or "curated long term list" type of folks - they'll either circle you for years trying to get you hired for something or they'll forget your name in 25 minutes.
In practice, they can though. So whether they should or not doesn't have much bearing on the situation.
Maybe. I'm not a lawyer, let alone an IP lawyer, but Netscape creating a programming language called "JavaScript" seems like the kind of thing that would be likely to cause confusion in the marketplace. Netscape explicitly chose the name to latch on to the popularity of Java at the time. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me for the Sun of 1997 to want to protect their interest in the Java name by licensing it to Netscape but controlling the underlying trademark.
Low-resolution images used in article on High-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe.
The only items in the list that look reasonably easily answerable are how much social security costs and whether the earth is warming. Even the last one wouldn't be considered a good question to an actual scientist because of how vaguely it is phrased.
And the fact Oracle didn't sue for trademark infringement on that or TypeScript which is often referred to as JavaScript is probably not going to help Oracle here. But I doubt Oracle cares either way.
Personally, I think that part is just incomplete. I think that there is an attitude that because you have jumped into several older open source projects and successfully made meaningful changes, that you have mastered the art of diving into legacy codebases and can handle anything. Even if those projects were not all that large. People sometimes think that because in theory thousands of people could be looking at the code, that they can treat the code as if it has been vetted over time by thousands of people.

But I agree that there are absolutely eligible open source codebases that could be used to practice beforehand. I'd better; I work on Firefox. It is not a small thing to dive into, but people successfully do, and get solid experience from it.
A few months? Didn't the 4080 Super release at least a few years after the 4080?
wow nice post.
Am I naive for thinking that nothing like that should take as long as 6-9 months in the happy case and that it's absurd for it to not succeed at all?
I like my water flavored. I tend to keep some lime/lemon juice around and that works well for me, maybe something can work for you
Very nice post
America is a rich country, but the majority of middle-class Americans are poorer than people in the Southeast Asian backwater I’m from. I emigrated to the U.S. in 2022 but left after a year. Life is plenty hard for citizens there, and despite working in tech, I constantly had this fear of needing healthcare in the back of my mind.

I didn’t want to risk bankruptcy because of an insurance denial, so I left quickly. Aside from the dismal state of transportation, unwalkable cities, and a self-sabotaging healthcare system, I actually kind of enjoyed my time there. Now living in Europe, I’m poorer but happier too.
I've seen analysis showing that DLSS might actually yield a higher quality image than barebones for the same graphics settings owing to the additional data provided by motion vectors. This plus the 2x speedup makes it a no brainer in my book.
As opposed to your in-house code which is vulnerability free?

The issue isn’t vulnerability's, it’s dependency hell where all your packages are constantly fighting each other for specific versions. Although some languages handle this better than others.

(Also not a lawyer)

This is why I think Deno has a solid chance here. Sun may have filed for the trademark, but it’s not clear to me how much it has been used by Oracle. I also think this is why this step is likely the beginning of litigation, not the end. With Oracle not voluntarily withdrawing the trademark, it allows the rest of the process to invalidate the trademark to begin.
Yeah I was recently given the choice to move for RTO to the bay area versus pacific northwest, and everyone I asked about this expressed their dissatisfaction with California.
