AMD’s is coming up in support for things like torch and xformers. But it isn’t there yet.

If you want for AI, your best bet is a used 3090 for $700-800. The ram is more important and that card is still faster than a 4070.
Just think: This company is 5 years old. That's just 1825 days, or 43800 hours, and they've created $32B of "value" in that time. That's an average rate of almost $750k/hour continuously. Incredible.
I moved my AMD Framework laptop from Ubuntu to Fedora, no real complaints. Having the newest kernel and Mesa stuff is pretty useful if you're doing any gaming on it.
As a Github alternative you could consider self-hosting Forgejo (https://forgejo.org/) which is the underlying system powering codeberg (mentioned earlier) and some other public instances (https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/delightful-forgejo#publ...).

As a plus they provide Forgejo Actions (https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/actions/) which is pretty much similar to that other Actions, and which should make migrating that much easier. (you could replace the Alpha state Forgejo runner with the Gitea forked act runner -- as they are both essentially act runner forks); or you could run any of the CI/CD tools mentioned here: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/delightful-forgejo#ci-c...
It literally comes from the original Twitter, it's meant to be what X killed in Twitter.
NVidia decide how they allocate their wafer starts at TSMC. Consumer chips have lower margin than datacenter parts, so they almost certainly allocated comparatively little volume to consumer chips.

On the one hand, this is a great situation to be in for Nvidia in terms of overall revenue.

On the other hand, this has allowed AMD to grab market share with the RX 9000 series launch, at least in the short term. So the narrow point that Geforce is sold out is decidedly not a flex.

The reason Apple Maps even exists is because Google intentionally crippled their Maps app on iPhone in order to benefit their own OS.

The reason Google loves RCS is because they spectacularly failed 4 or 5 times at introducing their own iMessage competitors.

Competing companies often act in their best interests. And both Google and Apple offer OS’s which have very different value systems. I think that’s good for consumers. If I want open (and all the pros and cons that come with that) I can buy an Android phone. If I want closed (and the pros and cons that come with that) I can buy Apple. If they Apple starts to open up a bit and Google locks things down a bit we get the worst of both worlds and no true options.

IANAL, but my understanding is that in Europe on-call can fall under working time, depending on the exact nature of the requirements. In fact, I'm very interested whether anyone has firsthand experience arguing developer on-call falls under such category. E.g. being 8 minutes away from a work machine and network access is not too dissimilar to a firefighter being 8 minutes away from the fire station.

> Charisma sets enjoyable coworkers apart from difficult ones

This statement is not really true though. There are plenty of very charismatic people who are not enjoyable to work with, and there are plenty of uncharismatic people who are very enjoyable to work with

An example of the former, Steve Jobs was a famously charismatic person, who used his charisma very effectively to lead Apple and create amazing products. However he is also known for being a pretty difficult person to work with and being a bully and a-hole to many

As the article notes (as well as the top reference book, The Charisma Myth), there are many different styles of charisma. But charisma doesn't magically make someone be a great co-worker or empathetic leader

PS: I highly recommend getting a copy of The Charisma Myth and doing the exercises. They are amazing at calming social anxiety. Even if you don't really want to be charismatic, if you feel like you often get uncomfortable in social situations, the exercises in this book can help you immensely
It is definitely not 50/50
Interesting. I didn’t know they did. Though can’t help but thinking that this is all going be a lot less valuable if your ovservability platform is on those mainstream cloud providers.
Somewhat related, I've seen a similar equation for motivation:

E*V
M = ---
I*D

Motivation = (Expectancy * Value) / (Impulsiveness * Delay)

Which comes from "The Procrastination Equation" by Piers Steel, an academic focused on motivation. I haven't finished the book since it's pretty self help-y, but I do like the equation. Here, expectancy is perceived likelihood of finishing the task, value is obvious, delay is how long until the payoff, and importantly, impulsiveness is the general impulsiveness of the task doer.
Is there lock-in for Wiz customers, besides the quality of the product? I understand the crazy revenue growth, fastest to 100m ARR, but surely this needs to saturate. Maybe half the fortune 500 use Wiz,but can you imagine 100% or even 80%? Who are their competitors?
> explicit take down of ... "go func"

I stopped at "go statements are a form of goto statement."

This is simply not correct. They have some diagrams and squinted and said "hey, that looks the same as a goto statement", but unfortunatley they have their diagrams wrong. "go func" will run at scheduler's pleasure, not immediately after the statement "go func..". A goto statement is a deterministic flow control directive. It will goto where you tell it.
Step 1: Have the iPhone pop up saying "do you want <Pebble watch> to be able to send messages?" and let the user decide which devices can send their phone messages.

Step 2: Have the iPhone pop up saying "do you want <Apple watch> to be able to send messages?" and don't just assume "yes"

Both steps would improve security, even if they harm Apple's profits.
Also the stock was effectively a meme stock. So now the jig is up, the stock deflates like no other.
It increases blood pressure so this should be obvious.
It's not very trivial to manage an Apple device and Apple would shut down those ABM tenants real quick. Not to mention, supervision requires enrollment pre-setup, which is really difficult.

So "just replace x with y" does not really work in this context, MDM is vastly more effort than you think and OP-s point still stands.
I think in practice it has to do with some libs (eg jdbc drivers) that would be relying on synchronized. If the performance with vthreads was much worse for some cases it would be a bit of failure
That is not what the ruling says

Two quotes from the judgement

> On the application, Dr. Thaler listed the Creativity Machine as the work’s sole author and himself as just the work’s owner.

and

> Nor do we reach Dr. Thaler’s argument that he is the work’s author by virtue of making and using the Creativity Machine because that argument was waived before the agency.

Make it very clear that this is NOT an opinion on if a human being can be said to be the author of a work that they used an AI to generate. Dr. Thaler listed the machine itself as the author on the original application, and has therefore conceded that he is not the author. The courts cannot concluded that he filled out the form in error, and must accept the facts as given. This judgment says that if you decide that the machine is the author, then you can't claim copyright. It says nothing about what happens if you claim that you are the author.

This would of course not carry over when we talk about liability, since the defendant doesn't get to decide what the claim is in those cases.
Some interesting points but he seems a bit less polished and confident than usual.
For the US market $21,500 would be quite cheap.
Nah. Insurance is based on the numbers, and Tesla is a shitty company to have financial liability to fix. There’s no parts, few shops, and lots of stuff to get stuck with.

A friend had a rental for 4 months when the panoramic sunroof cracked on his Tesla.

The vandalism isn’t computed in yet, and will immediately resulted in dropped coverage. If the Feds label it as terrorism, insurance generally excludes riot and terrorism from coverage anyway.
interesting, i bet AI assisted art is copyrightable though (i.e. have AI do the "boring" parts and have the human do the interesting parts)

here's one way I think that could be helpful. I read an interview with the final fantasy 6 director where he said doing a final fantasy 6 remake would probably take 20 years because the amount of content (and various art decisions) would take so much longer to make under today's expectations.

I wonder if projects like that would be closer to possible if artists could get AI to do maybe 10-20% of the work for them, like a 1st pass at background scenery or a 3d model or something or fixing a small flaws in motion capture

that said, i sympathize with the artists because i want to control every penstroke and every keystroke, maybe AI assisted art is a more difficult problem than it sounds. most likely AI assisted art will look less like prompting and more like advanced photoshop tools (like take this line sketch + a prompt and rough shade it for me).
Nobody thought Instagram and WhatsApp were good acquisitions at the time.
Ask HN: What engineering principles you found most valuable?
I'd rebrand this as "Tell HN: Dark patterns I don't want you to use on your pricing page"

While they're sneaky and dis-ingenuous, I imagine the slight possibility it impacts your brand is outweighed by the large chance it meaningfully increases your ARR.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like it either, but I also wouldn't tell another entrepreneur not to do it.
But it is more difficult to prove criminal intent and value paint, metal, and tire damage.

If Sentry mode records the perpetrator, the cops have to find it criminal, and then the DA decides to prosecute....

Good luck civilly pursuing every door ding or the mustard that fell off a sandwich -- even if somebody holds their ID up to a sentry mode camera, or drives off with their license plate clearly visible.
Thanks that did it. But I wish it didn't. This thread is so ironic it's making me physically uncomfortable.
The OpenWRT SDK is quite polished and convenient to use, so I usually use that for custom OpenWRT binaries. But a few days ago I needed to run something custom on my old QNAP NAS (Marvell ARMv5TE based), and I decided to try cross-rs[1] for the first time.

It turned the usual multi-hour expedition of locating and configuring SDKs, toolchains, etc into 3 commands and 5 minutes of downloads and compilation. The resulting executable ran successfully at the first try. I was amazed.

This looks like the infrared laser system that I worked on at a startup from 1980-1992. That system would create a full-duplex link running at either E1 or T1 speeds, with a distance limit of about 1 mile. I remember there were about a dozen systme shipped worldwide. There was one in canada. Another was sold to Alameda County, Calif. Another made a 2-path jump between some high-rises in New York City. Still another was in Malasia, used by a bank. There was also one that was located to straddle the Texas-Mexico border for a Chtsler factory to allow communications between the two factories and it wasn't 'legal' to string a cable between the buildings wuith the border being between. That one was frequently getting sent back to me for 'repair', the biggest issue being vandalism of the attached rifle scopes on the Mexico side. Which then required new rifle scopes, and a re-calibration on our field in Golden, Colo. Our company was named Telecommunication Products Inc., which was bought out by a company that was deeply involved in leasing TV-service to hotels. That's when the laser really died.
Or, you should do politics without promoting nazism and white supremacy on the platform that you solely bought to be able to do so.
That sounds like a false dichotomy as it's suggesting that pleasure may not coexist with the good. Typically they do coexist. Typically it is pursuit of the good that brings innate pleasure. If there is insufficient pleasure from work, it's typically because it's insufficiently good. The chemicals are an attempt to fill the gap.
Regarding the US I agree. One should not do business with Alphabet either and it would be proper to apply sanctions. This is the response I would have preferred from the EU, rather than some tariffs.

Israel does not represent the jews or judaism, and it is antisemitic to claim otherwise.
This is a point of hubris I see among SWEs very frequently, for some reason. People like to think they could make a better system, one that's black and white. The truth is the use of judgement and context is essential to a good legal system.
Egg prices didn’t raise because of a flu.

Egg prices raised because the government asked for the killing of a hundred million of chickens - for fear of spreading bird flu. It may have been the right call, we’ll never know.

Small difference, but important.

Here, CNN is obscuring the fact that the chickens killed were not tested or confirmed to have flu, but some around them might have so they had to go too.

No such thing as bad publicity as they say.

They'll be cheeky, the big dinosaur corporate will come out swinging and look bad like they always do, and they'll get a load of press in the tech websites which is their target market.
I can't really comprehend this, as someone involved with several layoffs (failing startup and corporate). Do you believe the layoffs are by lottery or something? If not lottery, who do you believe is selecting the individuals, and what's the criteria?

If these layoffs are any like I've been involved with, nobody is surprised by who stays. It's almost obvious. There are sometimes surprises by who lets go, usually having to do with the required headcount, where some better ones need to get let go too.

> In a layoff, with that many people

Absolute numbers are often used to appeal to emotion. It's less than 1%! Assuming 16% manager/non ratio, it's only 5% of management, so I suspect they aren't cutting too deep, or at all, into the high performing people.
Not sure about the context on why this is on HN but it surely put a smile on my face. Used to use it during 56K era when I just download everything and read it. Basically using it as RSS before RSS was a thing.

Show HN: Hideload – General purpose version control software
We have created a more general purpose version control software for businesses & non-tech individuals.

You can track versions of documents, images, videos or any raw file easily with our offline application.

It works by renaming the file and appending an id number to it. Wherever the file is, wherever you move the file, Hideload(file versioning software) can identify the file, show your previous versions, allow you to add new version, allow you to reset to the previous version, and allow you to delete all existing versions, all in a user-friendly UI.

We would love if you give it a try and provide your valuable feedback.

Show HN: ClipboardShield – A Clipboard Firewall for Windows (FOSS)
I’d like to introduce ClipboardShield [1], a free open-source clipboard firewall for Windows 10/11. It helps protect against clipboard hijacking attacks [2], where malicious apps silently read or modify clipboard contents (e.g., replacing copied cryptocurrency addresses to modify the recipient and steal user’s funds or stealing sensitive data like passwords).

How it works:
- Define rules to allow or block clipboard access for specific apps.

- Prevent unauthorized apps from reading or modifying clipboard contents.

- Open-source and community-driven – contributions are welcome!

- Since many people copy and paste passwords, crypto addresses, and other sensitive data, ClipboardShield adds an extra layer of security by letting you control which applications can access the clipboard.

Get Started:

- GitHub repository: <https://github.com/CoinFabrik/ClipboardShield>

- Quickstart guide: <https://github.com/CoinFabrik/ClipboardShield/blob/master/RE...>

- First release (includes source code and binary installer): <https://github.com/CoinFabrik/ClipboardShield/releases/tag/2...>

ClipboardShield uses a system-level hooking engine to manage clipboard access without interfering with normal usage [3].

Jesus H. Christ, people are taking the wrong idea from those types of stories! Those are cautionary tales of giving corporations too much power, and letting them take over the government. These stories are meant to show that when a sociopathic entity (a corp), which has one goal of profit above all else, is given power then it will use it without considering the human effects. This type of story isn't even prescient, most of them were written in a way that simply shines a light onto things that today's corps are already doing!

These writers weren't trying to excite you, they were trying to warn you. I'm having existential dread that people want to see cyberpunk-like things come to reality.
Whalers only want them when they're fresh.

The whaling museum in Nantucket has a fascinating display about a beached whale that died there. Since the museum has examples of the equipment that was used to extract oil, it was decided to extract its oil in the traditional fashion.

One whale corpse yields quite a lot of oil. The highest value was placed on oils that remained liquid even in winter, so the summer's oils were kept until then. They were exposed to the cold, and the portion that remained liquid in each barrel was poured off to get this most-expensive fraction. As weather warmed up and other fractions became liquid, they were serially decanted. By the time summer arrived, only the highest-melting-point fractions were left.

Fascinating place; if you ever happen to be there, I recommend a visit. It's quite close to the ferry landing.
It’s often used to call people out. That’s cap = that’s bullshit
No that is not the logical take that is an extremely illogical extension of what was said. What was upheld was narrowly tailored in regards to copyright protections.

If you're saying that the AI created deep fake cannot be copyrighted well then you would be in line with what the court said. If you are saying that there is a logical extension that a machine created something at the behest of a human that that human cannot be held responsible for the creation, that is not what is being said at all. As a matter of fact there is a long history of things and not being able to be copyrighted but people can still be held criminally liable for.
Yes and no - while it's taxpayer funded, you don't really have a choice as to whether your tax dollars fund it or not. I would argue that generosity requires intent.

Zochi Technical Report – The First Artificial Scientist
I was surprised at the time how cheap the original Pebbles were, they were nearly exactly what I wanted and I would have been willing to pay more for mine. In fact I ultimately paid more to replace mine with a watch I like less. When Pebble folded I wondered if having too low of price ultimately hurt them - if they didn't pick up enough customers to make up on volume what they left off the table on per-unit revenue? I hope the relaunch is successful, and I assume they have all manner of internal data that says I'm wrong, but my initial reaction to the listed prices is the same as it was to the originals - they seem too low. (I'm setting aside the caveat about a potential price change due to tariffs and assuming they launch at current list price.)
Apple and the like are only worth as much as they are because of intellectual property laws. Without that, you'd have a million iPhone clones (perfect copies, minus the dumb stuff) on the market a few days later and Apple would soon be worthless.

Intellectual property laws is not some natural law of the universe. It only exists because the people (i.e. the general public) want it to exist. They could do away with it on a whim, but choose not to. Which isn't irrational as it may first seem. Their own careers probably rely on the status quo, and their retirement savings no doubt rest on companies like Apple being worth a fortune, so there is a lot of incentive to not rock the boat.
I'm an engineering manager (EDIT - not at Amazon or at a very large firm), and I do 10,000 bazillion things a day, usually involving fixing lousy project management, setting processes so random people on the team don't get slammed by random external demands, guiding people's careers, talking people off the ledge / therapy, matching people's skills and interests to the projects and work, creating other teams to run ops so engineers can engineer, talk to senior management in a way they need to hear to protect the people below from nonsense, proving to the people above that I need headcount (and then creating a hiring process), helping people below being new managers, helping junior people learn, and interacting with clients and business people so the engineers are protected from it.

Whenever I try to funnel some of these tasks to the senior engineers, almost all push back because it's not engineering.

But after reading this thread, I'm actually completely useless, and engineers should do better without me.

To that I laugh, and cry in frustration at the same time. Go at it.

As an engineer your new boss is a project manager from another org, senior group leaders from other groups, and generally the loudest yeller who's waiting on you. Have fun managing that.
