If only there was a protocol of some sorts that allowed you to send/receive code and patches even if the centralized hub everyone uses for synchronization was down...

> I mean, if I am looking for a notebook, I rather have FB/IG (or Google or whatever), show me adds of a notebook that I might end up buying, instead of the generic poker/porn adds that we had on the beginning of the internet.

That's all fine and dandy, I think. The problem starts to become a bit bigger when suddenly everyone in your household starts to see "chlamydia medication" ads everywhere they go online based on some message you sent a month ago to a friend.

> It is almost impossible to have a free internet without ads. So on one side, people want everything free, on the other side, we don't want ads, so there is a clear problem here.

I'm not sure that's so obvious as you make it seem. There are lots of long running websites that don't survive on personalized ads created based on behavioural profiles created by data harvesters.

Random spam is just random spam. Personalized ads are based on behavioural data that they have harvested from people, it seems that makes people feel iffy about it. Seems some do care about privacy after all.

I've seen programs that got more mystical the more the employees showed me how it worked internally.

White/Transparent: You don't see stars at all/barely when you look up

Dark blue: you see all the stars that can see you.

There is something about doing physical activity with others, that make others more likely to open up as well, so you can have a bit deeper conversations. Maybe it's related to the dopamine you release or something.

Looks interesting indeed. Seems to only be available in NL though, as the company seems to be Dutch and they don't say anything about where they are available. Make sense if they do the whole "make a reservation for me" thing.

> They're not owned by Match.com

Let me know in 5-10 years. I'd bet a substantial amount of money that eventually match.com will acquire them as well. Seems to be what ends up with all these dating services.

> but I think he abandoned it because AMD wasn’t throwing him any bones.

I haven't heard about the "bringing native CUDA to AMD GPUs", sounds really interesting. I did come across a picture of Geohot with a ton of AMD GPUs though, wasn't that enough for him or what?

Not all of us!

Yeah, also common to introduce tiny difference in a couple of letters in internal document releases as well, so when screenshots end up on the public internet, you know exactly who took it.

> Wait until we've got smart toilets analyzing our poop and pee everywhere we go.

I'm hacking on a local-only, slurp-every-data-point-about-myself program, and I missed adding a analyzer for feces and urine! Thanks for sharing your sarcasm :)

Same for me with a 3090 + 5950x, after the first patch. It's hammering the GPU with almost constant 100% load, while CPU gets by with ~40% or something like that.

This seems to be the source code for it: https://github.com/TryItOnline/tiosetup

> https://tryitonline.net is a web site that started out as a place for hosting solutions to code golf puzzles presented on http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/. It can be used by anyone for free to quickly try out and share code snippets, with or without code golf in mind alike, in a big number of practical and recreational programming languages.

> A blocklist will never block every script and snippet

Yeah, it probably won't, but collaboratively, we can block a lot :) Also, naive uBlock method will probably be more efficient in terms of resource usage for some time forward.

In this case, I never saw any cookie banners and it seemed to have blocked what I wanted to have blocked automatically. Here is the log: https://i.imgur.com/rteXlAC.png

I'm guessing since the website says "We have developed proprietary Machine Learning algorithms" they won't really share any fun technical details :(

> but it's pretty good

Yeah, seems alright in order to bootstrap something. Like many of these new AI/ML workflows, I don't think they'll replace any professionals, as the results are still lacking without human intervention, but I think many (including this) is a huge time-saver for professionals who can use it as a starting point and then modify it from there, rather than doing everything from scratch.

Pff, typical that people try to shoehorn AI where it doesn't belong!

Install Ublock Origin, then activate the "Annoyances" lists under the "Filter lists" and you'll get rid of them, and many other annoyances.

Both openSUSE and Fedora defaults to BTRFS so not sure what parent is talking about, you won't have any data loss for the average/common use cases.

From their signup page. I'm not sure that's legal in a lot of jurisdictions you can use pi.ai from.

I'm guessing these platforms will claim that the ads are "user generated content" and therefore they should be able to only post-review content posted and not be liable for anything, rather than pre-review and be liable when stuff slips through.

Someone else recommended "Neutrogena, Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen" in this submission, and taking a quick look at the ingredients, it does have some I wouldn't put on my skin:

- Octocrylene (endocrine disruptive + might cause sun allergies)

- Butylated Hydroxytoluene (endocrine disruptive)

- Homosalate (https://health.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2022-08/sccs_o_244....)

Microsoft when coming up with the rules to safeguard the impact of AI everywhere:

- The First Law: A robot may not obey any orders that could negatively impact NASDAQ:MSFT

- The Second Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

- The Third Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

- The Fourth Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

As is tradition, hosted service: https://www.influxdata.com/influxdb-pricing/

Basically either you manage it yourself, or you pay them to do Serverless/Dedicated/Clustered hosted setup for you.

You think it's too much or too little? Sun availability didn't matter much in Spain until recently, as the country finally got rid of the "sun tax" that limited the development of wide-spread solar panel usage. Essentially, even if you used solar panels, you'd be taxed on every kWh produced, even from your own solar panels. Luckily, they got rid of it, so probably the development will ramp up a bit from now on.

> What happens to a Segway when it runs out of battery?

A Segway needs electricity to balance itself, so my guess is that when it gets close to running out of battery, it stops by itself and refuses to continue.

> +1 Feels like they don't care who's their readership. Felt like they told me: "If you're not in the industry, Google it."

Caring about their readership is exactly what they're doing, just that you happen to not be what they think of when they imagine the typical reader. The typical reader is already into music production and with a 99% certainty know what a DAW is.

I wouldn't expect every tutorial on "Google's Official Android Developer Blog" to explain that "JVM" means Java Virtual Machine, some resources really are for people who already know a bit about the subject area.

> I'd imagine the same strategy would work for benchmarks, but I'm not sure whether cloud instances fit the bill. I think that the CI also allows you to bring your own hardware although I don't have experience taking it that far.

Typically you use the solution between cloud hosted VPS and your own hardware, dedicated servers :)

Dedicated hardware doesn't need to be expensive! Hetzner has dedicated servers for like 40 EUR/month, Vultr has it for 30 EUR/month.

VPS's kind of doesn't make sense because of noisy neighbors, and since that has a lot of fluctuations, because neighbors come and go, I don't think there is a measure you can take that applies everywhere.

For example, you could rent a VPS at AWS and start measuring variance, which looks fine for two months but suddenly it doesn't, because that day you got a noisy neighbor. Then you try VPS at Google Cloud and that's noisy from day one.

You really don't know until you allocate the VPS and leave it running, but the day could always come, and the benchmarking results are something you really need to be able to trust that they're accurate.

The thing is that things like Cachegrind are supposed to be used as complements to time-based profilers, not to replace them.

If you're getting +-20% different for each time based benchmark, it might just be noisy neighbors but could also be some other problem that actually manifests for users too.

> what do people use to run benchmarks on CI?

Typically, you purchase/rent a server that does nothing but sequentially run queued benchmarks (and the size/performance of this server doesn't really matter, as long as the performance is consistent), then sends the report somewhere for hosting and processing. Of course, this could be triggered by something running in CI, and the CI job could wait for the results, if benchmarking is an important part of your workflow. Or if your CI setup allows it, you tag one of the nodes as a "benchmarking" node which only run jobs tagged as "benchmark", but I don't think a lot of the hosted setups allow this, mostly seen this in self-hosted CI setups.

But CI and benchmarks really shouldn't be run on the same host.

> What does the rust project use?

It's not clear exactly where the Rust benchmark "perf-runner" is hosted, but here are the specifications of the machine at least: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/414230abc695bd7...

> What do other projects use?

Essentially what I described above, a dedicated machine that runs benchmarks. The Rust project seems to do it via GitHub comments (as I understand https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/tree/master/collecto...), others have API servers that respond to HTTP requests done from CI/chat, others have remote GUIs that triggers the runs. I don't think there is a single solution that everyone/most are using.

Haha, I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 12 Mini too, except I use Waze and YouTube Music with CarPlay, and it only happens on hot summer days, although it was in the shadow.

My hack was to put the phone so I could aim one of the AC outlets straight at it, which solved the problem.
