Where did you find a Kobo Forma so cheap? A quick check on Ebay lists the cheapest at 150€, but maybe I'm looking at the wrong model.
This is correct. By the way I confirmed it's the same way reddit does its "Best" sorting
Thats fine, we can disagree :)

I dont agree with your definitions or opinions and thats OK, we have the right to do that.

Are you affording me the same courtesy? Because it sounds like you are not.
That's not 100% correct but it's correct enough to give sufficient intuition to understand the problem.

> However, it seems like I'm stuck at my level.

Have you gotten any feedback in your current role about why you're stuck? The reasons can vary from the difference in expected behaviors from level to level, no room at level +1, your current company/manager not really caring about your advancement, etc.

> I have no managerial experience, hence I can't get any leadership roles (either people or software)

Is this because you don't (or haven't had opportunities to) step up to lead/own chunks of work?

> I'm not a good enough software engineer to do complex stuff

Do you plan to do anything about this? It's hard to advance without some amount of self-improvement?

> I have a SaaS that generates pennies...[snip]...I tried to bootstrap some projects, but most of them are hit and miss (more on the miss side).

This seems to conflict with some of your earlier statements. Are you saying that you're motivated enough to try to bootstrap multiple projects, and have started a SaaS that actually has paying customers? It seems to me that if you have that motivation, you should be able to improve and grow to learn the things that you think are holding your career back.

Something can be factual and political. The guidelines suggest that political content is off topic for this site and that you should flag it.

Right now there is an interesting convergence of tech, politics and general newsworthiness that is going to stress the content moderation system. But people flagging a story as obviously political is the system working as designed.
> In practice, the law not taking this seriously is how a lot of women in abusive relationships die

Yes agreed, and its also the reason we have an innocent until proven guilty justice system.

Things can be said in anger, and not really meant. In fact I would wager out of all the death threats made in the entire world, the vast majority are said in anger and not meant to be followed through on. This is why we dont lock people up for just saying things. There needs to be other motives and evidence behind it to show intent.

Unfortunately yes this means we have situations where people are not believed and go on to receieve harm. Humanity has decided as a society that this is less harmful than locking far too many innocent people up by mistake. I do not have an opinion on whether this is right or wrong, but it is what exists for us and created by us.

If you have a better idea for a more fair justice system then go advocate for it, but the whole history of humanity hasnt found one yet.
I liked Settlers, but I was much more invested in the Caesar/Zeus/Pharaoh series of games. Maybe it was due to the historical context.

I’m curious what you’re basing this on if you’ve never used X?
With glibc, you can use -ftls-model=initial-exec (or the corresponding variable attribute) to get offset-based TLS. The offset is variable per program (unlike local-exec), but the same for all threads, so it's more efficient. Using too much initial-exec TLS (potential across multiple shared objects) eventually causes dlopen to fail because the TCB cannot be resized. This is not a problem if the shared objects are loaded through dependencies at process start.

If initial-exec TLS does not work due to the dlopen issue, on x86-64 and recent-enough distributions, you can use -mtls-dialect=gnu2 to get a faster variant of __tls_get_addr that requires less register spilling. Unfortunately glibc and GCC originally did not agree on the ABI: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113874 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31372 This has been fixed for RHEL 10 (which switched to -mtls-dialect=gnu2 for x86-64 for the whole distribution, thereby exposing the ABI bug during development). As the ABI was fixed on the glibc side in dynamically-linked code, the change is backportable, but it's a bit involved because the first XSAVE-using change upstream was buggy, if I recall correctly. But the backport is definitely something you could request from your distribution.

Note that there was a previous bug in __tls_get_addr (on all architectures that use it), where the fast path was not always used after dlopen: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19924 This bug introduced way more overhead that just saving registers. I expect that quite a few distributions have backported the fix. This breaks certain interposed mallocs due to a malloc/TLS cyclic dependency, but there is a workaround for that: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=018f0...

The other issue is just that the C++ TLS-with-constructors design isn't that great. You can work around this in the application by using a plain pointer for TLS access, which starts out as NULL and is initialized after a null check. To free the pointer on thread exit, you can use a separate TLS variable or POSIX thread-specific data (pthread_key_create) to register a destructor, and that will only be accessed on initialized and thread exit.

This sort of question is probably more suited to libc-help: https://sourceware.org/mailman/listinfo/libc-help/

I was in Uji recently, but I missed that train station because I used the JR line instead of Keihan (there are several train companies operating in and around Kyoto and sometimes they use different stations), what a shame in retrospect.

I feel that this article is missing Naoshima, the Benesse House Museum or the Chichu Art Museum are great buildings. From the same architect (Ando Tadao) we also get the very minimalist Church of Light in Ibaraki (near Osaka) - I haven't seen that one in person yet, but there were some photos and models in Naoshima, too, that I found impressive.

>Aren't racists a minority who struggle to express themselves?

No, because people acting with hate as motivator don’t care if they are within a social minority. They will cease any opportunity to use every aggression tool they have at their disposal to express loudly their will to oppress whoever looks like unaligned with their mindset.

This is in sharp contrast with minorities whose only wish is to live in a way that is aligned with with their own aspirations that perfectly fit in a specter of harmonious social differences even if it doesn’t fall right in the middle of the median mainstream stereotype.

Everybody is part of some minorities. But not everyone think that because they are a member of this or that minority they should be given some hegemony over everything and the rest in the political matter of their society.
Nope I'm talking about something getting committed to Postgres itself.

> I already said they are technically not black boxes. We are not in disagreement here.

I’m saying they are not black boxes at all. Not just “technically”

> The point is that there is no one implementation of C. And the same is true for any other language too (to a lesser extent).

That doesn’t matter for my argument.

> It doesn't matter whether they are black boxes if you don't routinely inspect the boxes. Perhaps you do, but for most people they don't. So it doesn't matter as much.

It does matter. That’s my whole point.

For two main reasons:

First, you have the option to understand how a compiler translates C to assembly. You do NOT have that option with LLMs

With a compiler, you are abstracting the underlying machine code, but you’re not hiding it entirely.

Secondly, with an LLM there’s no tractable connection between your prompt and your code. That’s a huge issue when it comes to understanding the resulting program.

Imagine a world where LLMs turn raw language into assembly (or, more realistically, LLVM IR)

How would you reason about your resulting program?

You could give the same prompt to the same LLM and get wildly different resulting code, since LLMs are nondeterministic.

How would you debug? How would you ensure that small changes to your LLM prompt doesn’t change parts of your resulting code that worked well?

How would you even understand what your program is doing?

You couldn’t do any of those things, because there’s no deterministic relationship between the prompt and the resulting program.
I'm on the BOOX train as well. I wanted a device that I could read books and catch up on HN on. Kindles do great with the former (if you're bought into their ecosystem) but suck badly for the latter. (Silk Browser is still too slow and renders all pages server-side with no ability to change this.) My BOOX Page 7 does everything I want and more, though I did choose to root and debloat it as well as install a firewall given the company's (ONYX) shady backgrounds.
Pretty sure that's exactly how you go wrong.

I hope Apple wake up soon.
It depends on the amount of TLS and the number of objects that do this, and the C library. In glibc, we have a small static TLS reservation dedicated for use by dlopen of shared objects with initial-exec.
You are technically correct (the best kind of correct), but I guess parent was asking whether this has any anti-bacterial side effects that might affect the gut flora. I'm wondering about this as well. The drug in question isn't an anti-biotic per-se, it doesn't help fight sepsis by making your body even more indiscriminately angry at bacteria - quite the opposite. Based on that, my suspicion is that the gut flora would not be affected directly, and would be happy on the basis of the host itself surviving the sepsis.
Deciding what a company should say, or behave about speech, is subverting THEIR freedom of speech.

This is why the no asterisk position sets itself to implode.

The core defense of Free speech, one of the better articulated points is from Oliver Wendell Holmes. He articulates that free speech serves the search for truth, but the search for truth via the competition of ideas.

>that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas – that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market,

This was his articulation in a sedition case brought by the government against citizens.

It is specifically in the case of government using its power to become a player in the market of ideas.

I was there around that time, too, as an undergrad doing a UROP with Karger. It was truly a wonderful time.

That said, my favorite memory of the time is a little more low brow. One time I was waiting outside one of the single occupancy bathrooms in CSAIL for my turn to do my business. After a minute, who should come out but Tim Berners Lee himself. We carefully avoided looking at each other, as one does in this situation, and I went in and sat down.

Recognition is subjective, so idk what to say here. You want more of this, forum wants less. I guess there's enough places to discuss it. Maybe people don't want this "vital context" here. It's not that a forum was sort of a closed city, people visit other places freely. And if they do not, they probably value how it works here.

I only visited a few links in the past weeks, but most of them shared that thing where they establish a very shaky background and then just switch to pushing their thick angsts and then users comment on conspiracies.
