On the topic of the license, I find most small projects that use GPL suffer from delusions of grandeur.

First to address the readme. Their goal for switch to GPL for closed devices is kind of pointless. For a closed device, they can still use it without modification. And even if they do modify it, how would you know. How would you prove it's your codebase they modified? The GPL does little to protect small projects. If they made money and got caught, they can just pay their way out of it. If they didn't make any money, well, no one would have probably found out until they they were a defunct company or the product was cancelled.

Second, more on the delusions of grandeur. Let's be real, this project is a small project with very little chance to grow big. It might become the defacto X server for old tech, but I doubt it would be used for anything new. And even if it is, not for many. The GPL won't protect it because it's obscure.

The GPL works for big high profile projects, like the Linux Kernel. It worked in the past because companies hadn't figured out a way around it, or that they can just ignore it and deal with the consequences later. They usually get away with it too, with little cost to them, as they have made their money.

I personally avoid releasing any of my projects as GPL. Because the likelihood of any of my projects being huge is minimal, and if they go big, I can change the license then. Maybe a non open source license like the Fair Source License that then transitions to MIT or Apache after 1-2 years.
This is a degree of thinking that feels rank common in the world. When you read a complex blog post with sophisticated approach, there's often a "wouldn't it be easy to just ____."

Maybe, yes, perhaps! But sometimes the problem at hand - the proboem specified in the post - isnt the entire desire or objective. "Actually be easier" abounds, but sometimes our scope & intent in the long run builds on the problems at hand.

Porting ExifTool may be easier (but then if you want to maintain it, that's a drain for life). But having perl that you can now run anywhere might be something this author sees other use for. Getting good at wasm or exhibiting their excellent systems skills might have been side objectives.

Whether we just do things to get to get results at hand, or whether we invest ourselves broadly to build a better world is a constant struggle for many engineers. This shows up in the comments time and time again as "would actually be easier". I'm sorry for hitting hard on this specific comment, but there's a Two Cultures problem here, and one culture trivializes the other endlessly in the comments. It's hard for me to state why trying hard & caring & doing extra matters, but I think that breed of people are the ones that I look up to, that make all the difference to me. And I really wish there was a good defense or rallying cry, something we could say when we get the inevitable "would actually be easier" that can capture the enthusiasm for setting ourselves up & building broadly towards our better worlds.
Yesterday, using Aider and an openai model, forgot which one it picks by default; i asked it to check some Go code for consistency. It made a few changes, some ok, but also some that just did not compile. (The model did not understand the local scoping of vars in an if-then clause)

It is just not reliable enough for mainstream Enterprise development. Nice for a new snake game….
If you decide to stream with a lower bitrate in Plexamp, it transcodes to Opus.

You should not encode the files, just use Plex or Jellyfin and choose a lower bitrate when playing with your phone. Jellyfin uses AAC and Plexamp uses Opus.
Profit goes to shareholders, not the board. The board is generally supposed to want more money to shareholders, not internal management. The incentives here are not great though, as being a board member is generally a cushy role for which one does not want to rock the boat.

However senior management generally wants to pump the stock price to get comp, not juice their salary. And to pump the stock price, they want money going to shareholders (or growth).

> Even if all the replaced people aren't unemployed, salaries go down and standards of living for them fall off a cliff.

Salaries of the remaining people tend to go up when that happens. And costs tend to go down for the general public.

Owners are actually supposed to only see a temporary benefit during the change, and then go back to what they had before. If that's not how things are happening around you¹, consult with your local market-competition regulator why they are failing to do their job.

1 - Yeah, I know it's not how things are happening around you. That doesn't change the point.
The M4 Max has up to 546 GB/s. The M4 Pro, what GP was talking about, has only 273 GB/s. An M4 Max with that much RAM would most likely exceed OP's budget.
true. at this prices they might as well include a power brick and take responsibility of the current carrying path from the wall to the die.

Firefox. I'm pretty disappointed that I can't have a real Firefox on my phone. This is my first iPhone and I forgot what it was like to be assaulted by ads lol

But you got me, I don't have any complaints about the compiler. I haven't been writing much C these days so you're safe ;) Tbh I think the thing I'm most frustrated about is that it becomes harder for me to fix things myself. Taking power away from the user is not a security feature.

Can I also make a feature request? Can we get someone to add regex to the calendar to de-dupe events? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42708707

Edit:

I have a more important feature request. Fix the god damn iPhone keyboard settings. Auto capitalization should capitalize a stand alone i, but we can all recognize an iPhone user because of this. And I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use swipe but also not randomly have it modify the previous word I typed (autocorrect is off). Pressing back space then deletes two words. Not once has this feature been helpful, it's a hindrance that happens at least once an hour. And if I move my cursor back to a misspelled word, click the accepted correction, please don't split the word at my cursor, just correct the whole word...

I know I might be "holding it wrong" but man has this been unintuitive.
AI native like recent digital natives, who have more time using software but far less time exploring how it works and less overall success at using digital tools?

AI reminds me of calculators. For someone who is proficient in math, they boost speed. For those learning math, it becomes a crutch and eventually stops their ability to learn further because their mind can't build upon principles fully outsourced to the machine.
I see the difference, I just don't see how to stop it. If you want your kid to not have access to infinite videos where they choose what plays next, don't give them access to the internet, period. Problem solved, I just stopped them from learning swear words and atheism too.

There's just no situation where you give kids access to the internet while also removing porn from it. It just doesn't work like that. It's either that all internet binging is harmful, or none is. No law will ever succeed at depriving kids from using the internet to watch sex videos. We know this because you can't outlaw kids from watching sex scenes in movies or sex chapters in books, either.
FWIW, I had the same issue with my 3090 (though I believe that uses a slightly different port?). I was using a custom cable like this guy. Nvidia replaced it under warranty, and I went back to using the (ugly) provided adapter.

I actually really like the scroll bar at the top , I also like the general style of your website.

https://scroll-driven-animations.style/demos/progress-bar/cs...

I was going to ask you to provide source code but it turns that its hand crafted css / js / html

so I am probably going to create a hugo plugin and transform into this (though I would really really like it if somebody could write a dark mode , though I just tried dark reader and its also really nice , feels like magic , but I am going to create a dark button on the top , and change the width of red and maybe the color as well and it could be so cool.

Thanks a lot man

A lot of people are saying , why do you need this , I wouldn't over use it on every page , but I like this , I genuinely do though I also prefer simplicity.

I think that a guy should have two parts of a guide while still adhering to the same guide , maybe have the frontpage a little bit more scroll driven animations , heck three js if you want , but it shouldn't be on my face kind of animations

But keep the inner documentation smooth and simple , pure static html
Dart is an amazing and underrated language too. It compiles to native assembly, has pattern matching, async/await, and null safety. The only thing it's missing in my opinion is some form of checked errors, currently they only have unchecked exceptions.
if it's a project for your employer that you have staff in charge of maintaining, then it's probably a bad choice. but for projects delivered by contractors who provide a fixed service and maintenance term, it's reasonable to provide a fixed end date for the project as a whole, and that's probably less than 12 years.
What are the odds that a laptop, having spent 12 years in the elements and probably under huge amounts of slimy weight, would even operate or have a functional drive if by some miracle he was able to find it? I honestly don't know, but it just feels like the entire thing would be fried.
A no code solution at its most basic level is nothing more or less than a compiler.

You wouldn’t argue that writing in a high level language doesn’t let you produce arbitrary code because the compiler is just spitting out presets its author prepared for you.

There are 2 main differences between using an LLM to build an app for you and using a no code solution with a visual language.

1. The source code is English (which is definitely more expressive).

2. The output isn’t deterministic (even with temperature set to 0 which is probably not what you want anyway)

Both 1 and 2 are terrible ideas. I’m not sure which is worse.
This is true but it had not exploded at rates like this until 2022ish. Since 2000 the fed interest rate was effectively 0 until now. This is causing companies to cut every corner they can, which is causing no employment here, and 100% employment abroad.

Yeah, I was confused about that when I tried to replicate the study for all of the counting groups ('Mail', 'Early Voting', 'Election Day'). I'd like to know more about the data to understand how to compare the others with early voting.

freedom of speech has many good and important aspects which must be protected

but there really is no reason to extend it to every kind of hate speech and implicit promoting white supremacy and genocide

not only is there no reason to tolerate it there are a lot of reasons to not tolerate it

I mean there are quit many examples from small scale to international scale showing how letting hate speech go unchecked leads to endless pain and suffering of innocent.

Defending spreading hate speech without any limit in a time where all this history is available just a few clicks away is either highly ignorant, or outright with evil intent.

And yes there is a gray area between speech which really should be protected and hate speech only doing harm. Seeking swastika T-shirt very clearly isn't in that area.

Lastly nothing prevents you to keep hate speech in check and also educate people better. Most (all?) EU member states do take educating people better at least slightly serious. But history has clearly shown that keeping hate speech in check is fundamental needed, too.
Is there any legal way to remove the leeches from the system?

I can confirm this. Former Senior Manager from Big Tech Co here (I just resigned 2 weeks ago). When I left, we were in the middle of offshoring all of my groups to Amsterdam. No stock compensation in Europe = cheaper devs. There was no real talk of replacing anyone with AI. We all used copilot and the other LLMs as tools, but you still needed devs who understood the systems and how to debug the generated code.
The hash tables a programmer interacts with generally very much have a fixed size, but resize on demand. The idea of a fixed size is very much a part of the open addressing style hash tables -- how else could they even talk of how full a hash table is?
I thought that metal was heated by microwaves, but a cursory search (which I was too lazy to do before) suggests that it isn't.

So I now think my comment is misleading.
if you ignore the dystopian hellscape that this comment is about to glorify... this does seem like the ideal (commercial) use case for AI imagery. The first being because I was only interested in the color gamut or fidelity of the eink, I completely filtered out the atrocity that is that AI generated mall... The AI generation they used is very well trained to produce images that, with only an instantaneous glance has no artifacts that immediately jump out as out of place. I'd describe it as a background blur you're less likely to notice. The caveat being a blur would be completely unremarkable, while this background is... unfortunate... fever dream does seem quite apt.
Siri mostly hit the expectations they themselves were able to set through their ads when launching that product - having a voice based assistant at all was huge back then. With an LLM-based assistant, the market has set the expectations for them and they are just unreasonably high and don't mirror reality. That's a potentially big trap for Apple now.
Have you had experience implementing SSA via sea-of-nodes representation? Could it be that in this case dominance frontier is no longer important and one could use the simpler SSA construction algorithms that do not require dominance frontiers?
Does it matter if it doesn't know why this particular pattern is suitable? Also, do you always ask yourself why you use that particular pattern all the time, or do you just use them?

der8auer got his hands on the actual card, cable and PSU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndmoi1s0ZaY (I'm assuming the content is identical to the German https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puQ3ayJKWds - I haven't watched the English one)

Notable is that on the PSU connector side, 5 pins show heat damage. That means at minimum those 5 must have been carrying some current; i.e. only one of the 6 connections could have failed completely open.

On the PSU one of the ground pins was melted into the PSU connector, this should allow verifying if the plug was fully inserted by a lab disassembling and cross-sectioning it.
I'm predominately a linux user. My main machine is and I have quite a few. I'm not quite sure why you're down voted, because it is mostly as usable these days as anything else. Arguably it is more easier. Though I find the rough points are more due to hostility from Microsoft. But hey, at least on Linux I can find a way to do whatever I want, and that's how computers should be.
Loosely related question:

What prevents manufacturers from taking some existing mid/toprange consumer GPU design, and just slapping like 256GB VRAM onto it? (enabling consumers to run big-LLM inference locally).

Would that be useless for some reason? What am I missing?

There's companies that open them up in a clean room and magnetically image the disk. Not cheap, but I think worth it in this case.

I think biggest thing it is missing is any kind of Google commitment on its long term usage.
The thing that paints a clear picture to me is, the Republican party are always on the assault. They have endless bad things to say, blame to cast. They are out for destruction.
If the Democrats are lying to defend trans people or immigrants or school lunch or head start... is that really a bad lie?

I think that's extremely telling, about what's a lie and what isnt. But let's just say, both parties are liars: there's still only one party trying to destroy opportunity & excellent, trying to cut the throat of the USA.
> I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before.

Both Danny Trejo and Tim Allen spent time in prison before becoming famous. While that's interesting, I'm not sure I'm ready to believe that's the best way to become a professional actor.

Edit to be a little less snarky, apologies:

"Outsiders" are great for approaching problems from fresh angles, but I can almost guarantee that the majority of nuts-and-bolts progress in a field comes from people who "fall in the rut of thought" in the sense that they area aware enough of the field to know which paths might be most fruitful. If I had to place a bet on myself, I wouldn't take a wild uninformed swing: I'd get myself up to speed on things first.

Outsiders sometimes do great work. They also sometimes:

OpenAI vs. DeepSeek: Navigating the AI Trust Paradox in Geopolitical Tensions
I agree in the specific case that the state of the art is in a local maxima, but saying "the best way to approach a problem is by not being aware of disregarding previous attempts" ignores the much more frequent banal work of iterative improvement. Leaping out of a local maxima is rare and sexy and gets articles written about you and is important, but the work of slowly iterating up to a nearby peak is also important.

I think progress needs both individual achievements who break out of preconceived notions and the communal work of improving within the notions we currently have.
I used to use special FireWire extension card to have low latency, however I think this has been fixed in usb 3.0. the problem is when you have multitrack mixer that sends you many outputs all of them being different soundcards visible to the computer. Of course one guitar + VST will give you a little lag but you'll just push it back a little and it will do. Or will it?
> The number of people I’ve talked with who’ve replaced complicated K8s clusters with a few VMs and seen massive improvements in reliability, cost, and uptime would make some people at the Orange Peanut Gallery more than a little perturbed, for example.

If I'm being honest, I'm a bit tired of seeing this trope. The details _always_ matter, and when it's written like this, it comes across as universally true. Ironically, Kubernetes seems to past the test of "boring" by the author's standards considering how long it's been around and how many hundreds of thousands of clusters have been running on it over the years.

Do people with really bad architecture skills use k8s to design overly complex clusters? Absolutely. Does that represent the entirety of the k8s community? Not even close. Kubernetes is dangerous because of how far down the rabbit hole you can go. People who try to be Google on day one with k8s are generating so much unnecessary negative PR.

Alas, it's tiresome.
If in earlier periods a specific haplogroup is concentrated in specific relatively small area but after a couple of centuries it can be found across the entire continent that seems like a good indicator.
> Sometimes the exciting things are exciting for very valid reasons

Very true! I would also add: Sometimes boring things are boring for reasons that actually make them poor solutions.

For example, some systems require tedious, mind-numbing configuration. This is boring, but also a good reason to NOT use something. If it takes hours and hours of manual tuning, by someone with special training, then the solution is incomplete and at least needs some better defaults and/or documentation. It might be a poor option.

Another example is a system that does not lend itself to automation. Requiring manual interaction is certainly boring, but also does not scale well. It is a valid reason to disqualify a solution.

Boring can often be a smell--an intuition that a solution is not fully solving the problem.
