And how do you decide whether someone you're considering supporting is or isn't racist? Do you, by chance, use the way they talk about black people or other minorities (man that's a mouthful, maybe just shorten it to BIPOC) a

I guess you could consider a docker image a "reproducible environment," but it's certainly not a reproducible build; running docker build twice on the same directory isn't guaranteed to give you the same image. You could

The latter. NIMs is Nvidia's umbrella branding for proprietary containerized AI models, which is being pushed hard by Jensen. They build models and containers, then push them to ngc.nvidia.com. They then provide reference architectures

I wasn't going to humor a 24 hour old throwaway, but it seems HN wants to believe you over someone with actual experience; shocking I know. What would you call it if your parents denied you healthcare as a child, leading to permanent d

It's crazy how DIY HRT and puberty blockers are now necessary to prevent trans kids from being mutilated by going through the wound puberty, then having to pay tens of thousands of dollars for reconstructive surgeries to fix maybe a fi

You shouldn't assume others are acting in bad faith when the much more likely explanation is you're just not paying attention. Three major developments from the courts in this direction have been: - The overturning of Chevron gave

Republicans have made the term ideological a negative one. Sure, the dictionary definition is to relate to ideology; but in practice (especially when talking politics) it implies one is picking a worse option because it aligns with their id

Growing up in a very conservative household, I was always told to look at what people do, not at what they say all my childhood. Now those same people are ranting about what Trump and his cronies say, completely ignoring what they do. It&#x

The entire point of the original credit, before it was changed in the IRA, was to incentivize new entrants into the electric car space. Just because Tesla, Ford, Toyota, and GM were able to play politics and get a huge incentive in perpetui

I tried buying a monitor direct from a Chinese company (Innocn). It broke within 8 months. They never listed a warranty, but I (stupidly) assumed it was at least a year; but no, it was 6 months. After having such a bad experience, I went lo

In the high use areas camp toilets are found, this won't work. Rain will expose poop and TP, animals will be attracted and dig it up, and soon you'll try to dig in a "secluded" spot and stick your shovel into someone els

This is a silly thing to say. There's no evidence that edtech was forced to band students to grade levels due to equity. It's just as likely it happened due to Bush's Leave No Child Behind, or out of a desire for administrato

I don't think NCCL + Deepspeed/FSDP are really an alternative to Scuda, as they all require the models in question to be designed for distributed training. They also require a lot of support in the libraries being used. This has b

It's true, even assuming you do everything yourself, you're still building within the laws of a country, which is building within someone else's kingdom, as it were. I suppose the real rule of thumb should be "Don't

You'd run into the halting problem. Maybe for some small subset of programs it'd be possible to prove a short runtime, but in general it wouldn't be, so this type of automation wouldn't be impossible. It sounds like mayb

How has the current White House mistreated Elon's ventures? For Tesla, the tax credit is still there, they pushed for and adopted the Tesla charger as the North American standard; heck they even levied a 100% tax against Chinese EVs (a

I can't say I've seen the same, so I dug into it. There's a good list from RedHat[1] on CVEs SELinux mitigated. I went through them: - CVE-2016-9962 - Bypasses Apparmor [2], mitigated by SELinux - CVE-2022-0492 - Apparmor and

No, the issue is pedantic people like you who can't understand that "want" is a simple way of saying that a system is biased towards certain outcomes. Capitalism is not an expression of human nature, it's a single poss

This isn't the difference between a small town and city, it's the inevitable result of late stage capitalism. In cities it's still possible to go to small stores and create connection with your local grocer, butcher, etc. I p

Maine has it for the general presidential election too. They were the first to use RCV in a general presidential election. I don't care why Republicans did it, the effect is the same: It forces a two party system which benefits them in

Except Maine shouldn't be ruled out because its congress passed RCV for presidential races (what I thought the conversation was always about, national level politics) along party lines in 2019[1]. You're also undervaluing that all

Alaska only has it because of a ballot measure[1], so I don't consider Alaska a win for Republicans. It looks as though Republicans are also trying to end the trial of RCV early in Utah[2]. So, of your examples of Republican states wit
