Or Facebook communities

But maybe they are harder to discover (eg because FB search is horrible, is it not). Or LinkedIn, but maybe over there one finds mostly recruiters and job applicants, hmm
This is impressive, but not exceedingly so.

A single NVidia H100 GPU gets 1 PFlops/s [1] for single float (32 bit) precision. There's an asterisk which says

Shown with sparsity. Specifications are one-half lower without sparsity

I have to admit that I don't understand what this means, but the apparent takeaway is that the "non-sparse" speed is 0.5 PFlops/s.

So this supercomputer has a speed equal to about 300 H100 GPUs. Not bad, but not something where one would start worrying about renewable electricity or not.

My theory is that the root cause is the financialization and rat-race-ification of everything.

You gotta go to college to make a good living.

You gotta go to a TOP college especially.

You gotta work your ass off in high school to get in.

And so everyone just is told their whole childhood to compete harder and harder in this race to the bottom and there's no more room for interesting experiences since a truly interesting experience isn't guaranteed to sound as good on an application as a boring "interesting experience" run-of-the-mill extracurricular schedule.

Leaving in room for insanity and creativity is counter to what this money-above-all-else societal push for undergrad education wants.

But hey, we gotta do that because if we don't, China will!

It's not the students who benefit from having to work twice as hard to get the same degree.
Since it keeps getting trotted out onto this site: Palladium is a far-right magazine masquerading as an independent publication. It's bankrolled by Peter Thiel, and its founders and editors are a veritable "who's who" of reactionary (and explicitly white supremacist[1]) thought leader types.

I think you're vastly over-estimating the numbers being crunched and vastly over estimating the "well I don't like it and it could lead to some unspecified harm and it's hard to quantify the good that it brings in so we're going to reduce/control/ban it"
partners should support each other, especially through trying times. but your happiness should not only depend on your partner. if it does then any problem in the relationship can quickly spiral into something unfixable.

on the other hand, being individually happy is not enough. if your partnership does not add anything to your happiness then you are more like roommates.

you are fortunate until now, but i would not rely on being able to keep that going without your partners help. you say you are happy as a couple when you are happy individually, but there is more to a relationship than just your individual happiness.

i would investigate how your relationship is really doing. is your wife as happy as you are? how would you deal with difficult times as a couple? what might happen if your work changed and you no longer feel happy there?

how are you supporting each other?
Yeah, I think there are a lot of problems with the current system and you’ve nailed it. They set a target using metrics that have radically changed over time and don’t reflect major components of inflation that real people experience (cost of homes) or asset price inflation. Anyone with eyes can look at charts of pretty much everything but a basket of consumer goods and see the massive inflation, and this was fine because it wasn’t in CPI figures… until now. And so that target range based on limited metrics led to exacerbating a massive problem that was evident for at least 5-6 years.
I wouldn’t say there is a scarcity of newsworthy events. You could spend all your waking hours just reading about important things happening in the world and still not run out.

However, reading newsworthy events takes a lot of brain energy, and you can’t sustain that all day. That means if you want people to spend a lot of time consuming your content, it has to be easy to consume content.
At lest from the news I’ve seen some of these guys don’t want those jobs / can’t get them for some reason or another (tech skills aren’t all it takes skill wise to get these jobs) and they seem to really identify with the idea of some sort of online hacker bad guy persona.
So… did your wife get the big house she wanted?
I'm not interested in making up stories about OP. We don't know how supportive their partner was, how much they shared, and how collaborate they were in the process. We also don't know what alternate realities might have been.

I think it is kinda rude to make these assumptions.

I'm just saying there are plenty of problems love, support, and teamwork can't fix. Doubly so when you don't know what is wrong in the first place. A healthy marriage can help in rough times and be a source of strength and resiliency, but is hardly a panacea for all of life's problems.
Ah, even more reason to leave the Google-opticon

There is a third option. Increase military spending in the short term, but also be intentional about supporting immigration of younger, skilled workers from China and Russia (both whose fertility rates are below replacement rate and continuing to fall rapidly). Short term, military spending contains these countries with the threat of physical force, long term, you’re “stealing” (for lack of a better term) their productive future workers for someplace with (arguably) more stable, better governments and living situations (it’s not a secret those with means have been fleeing these regimes). This further handicaps the countries I mentioned on a go forward basis, allowing for (potentially) a decline in military spending over time.
Because most of the people who are going to college are getting there via life paths that will not have had them on the wrong side of big bureaucratic institutions very much so they don't see the danger.
While it is tempting to blame universities entirely for this, and I can go on all day about it, students culture has changed a lot too.

I'm not sure what has caused it.
Do you have a family to support?
This is a characterization of fraternities that reeks of stereotype. What can you offer to substantiate the list of negative claims you're making about Stanford fraternities? Eitan Weiner died due to fentanyl laced drugs. This death occurred in the new year, outside of the rush time frame so hazing is not a likely cause.

Furthermore, it also ignores that plenty of other theme houses outside of greek life were also eliminated.
I can't speak for Stanford, but Santa Clara University has gone through a similar transition. It started while I was there ('11-15), where the "party street" was full of frats, sororities, and just loosely themed houses. The school and the police really started to shut down parties on that street hard my second year there. What used to be just every house open to anyone became closed doors, you had to know someone who actually lived there.

I think the school has started to buy the actual property on that street now to control it more.

I won't apologize for the behavior of the frats, some of them did some truly awful stuff, and I never was a part of any of them, but I watched the university expand from educational to trying to manage the entire student experience.
Marx, not unlike another famous historical figure, has had many wars fought in (and against) his name. That doesn't change the material facts about him, which is that he was a somewhat-broke academic economist in Prussia.
You have to be thinking about speed from the beginning.

You don't actually have to make it fast, but you have to be designing w/ an eye towards eventual speed. Otherwise you end up w/ a mess that can be made faster, but never fast.

At least that's been my experience.
I love how they discovered this!
Seeing that colorful jungle fowl reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend about pigeons and doves.

We consider doves to be an "elegant" bird, all white, used in religious imagery and magicians' tricks, and so on, while we consider pigeons to be a "dirty" bird, mostly known for scavenging food in cities, even though they're basically the same type of bird. People chase them around for fun.

But if someone had only ever seen white doves and suddenly saw a much more colorful version of the bird that we call pigeons, they'd probably consider it to be the more fanciful, impressive-looking bird.
If the chickens and the owner followed KYC, then maybe they won't end up at KFC?

(I misread KYC in the GP comment as KFC first until I read your comment.)
Love this!!! Thanks op!

For some reason this reminded me of chiptunes ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf_p3-8fTo0 [Pretty sure some of you will recognize some of these tunes] )

There are plenty of recession resistant software engineering jobs outside of SV. If you have some skills, you'll be fine. When the economy crashes and bitcoin startups go out of business, payday loan startups will be hiring.

> I hear this again and again from people who have experienced it. For some reason, the message doesn't get through to the rest of society.

Not a good opinion, but how do we know what the real problem is? How do we objectively assess it without a better understanding of genetics?
A professor of mine offered small extra credit over zoom classes if we found ways to cheat. We took our exams on an online IDE that had a built in shell with networking. SSH chat was an easy 5 points.

I totally agree there really isn't a scarcity of newsworthy events worldwide for the persons who care to read sober, rational news media reporting on various things (economy, politics, wars, transportation, international aid/development, etc). I'm talking about things written by people who have actual degrees in journalism, politics, economics from well respected universities whose names are recognized internationally. Journalism that wins Pulitzer prizes.

Then we have a whole other category of "news" which has been fabricated out of whole cloth for the purpose of selling even more advertising to a vast demographic of people who are never, or very rarely going to sit down to read the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Globe and Mail, Los Angeles Times or similar on a daily basis.

I have a theory that the aggregate advertising revenue from the latter class of "news" is rapidly eclipsing the first type.
Just be because abuse has been justified doesn't make it not abuse.
There's a pretty simple workaround for this that I discovered fairly early on: Create a deterministic test for your code, write down the expected call counts for each function, and then look at the actual call counts.

You can spend all week shaving 15% off of an inner loop function or you can notice that it's being called 3x as much as you expected, fix that problem, and get a 60% performance improvement without changing a single line of that function.
Apple and the Macintosh platform was on a downhill trajectory in the mid-1990s. Whether a hypothetical Be acquisition could have resulted in a successful operating system is kind of moot, because there's nothing to suggest that a Be acquisition would have arrested the overall decline.

The high order bit in Apple's resurgence was Steve Jobs. He's mostly known for his charisma on stage, but he was instrumental in restructuring the company from the ground up.

Despite early pains, the NeXT technology stack has proven to be an incredibly capable platform which has served Apple extraordinarily well as the basis for two decades of macOS development, and as the software foundation for the iPhone and iPad. The fact that it was underpinned by UNIX was how the Mac got taken seriously by developers in the mid-2000s.
I was in college in the 2000s and this bureaucratization was starting already. The class of 2006 having cell phones was a minor scandal--college students were no longer exploratory rulebreakers, but rich kids (back then, the assumption was that someone with a cell phone had money) with helicopter parents. I don't know how much there was an actual change, but the feeling of a shift from a cool Gen X to a decidedly less interesting Millennial college culture (this isn't to say that Millennials are less interesting individually--I don't believe it to be true) happened around 2002. (Fall 2001 was an something different entirely, because the obvious.)

Nostalgia is a powerful disinfectant. The people who pulled off the pranks of yore risked getting in serious trouble as much then as they do now. It's just that hindsight changes one's view of things: the misbehaviors one got away with are now seen as harmless... and this is especially pronounced among people whose social class means they get away with almost everything.
> The video, which shows a rendering of the Ukrainian president appearing to tell his soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender the fight against Russia, is a so-called deepfake

Did the Ukranian soldiers do this following the deepfake video? As far as I understand it, most of them are still fighting the Russians. What damage or harm occurred here?

I am pretty sure modern military command and control does not rely very heavily on "the video looked like it was the president saying it".
The US did not have inflation when it did not have fiat money. There's well over a century of monetary history in the US without fiat money.
Under which jurisdiction would the server have to be running in a misconfigured state? What counts as misconfiguration? Would it extend to the advertising pages that consumer ISPs in the US regularly see fit to serve when they should be returning NXDOMAIN?
Going through life so afraid of consequences that you can't give your honest opinion politely in an exit interview sounds terrible to me.
Marxist thinkers spent an inordinate amount of time and effort trying to explain away the myriads of ways in which actual Communist revolutions didn't happen in the way he predicted.
This has always rang true for me- even during my music career, no song ever felt ready. But my fans always loved and supported each release. Now that I write code, no PR out side project ever feels ready. But irregardless of the medium, I’m always glad I put my work out there. It’s still hard to pull the trigger though, and I still don’t do it nearly enough.

This is why, in practice, you'd still probably come out way better, intellectually and perhaps in terms of happiness, spending a few years with a well-curated bookcase—or even just a library card—and some notebooks, rather than unfettered access to the Web, despite what a lot of us thought about it'd bring to the world, years ago.

A good bookcase still wins. Turns out I don't have time for "everything" anyway (and it's not really got everything, anyway, though The Web is very good at delivering 'everything' when it comes to cheap trivia)
If Thunderbird moves away from file based I will find a new email client. I already have to deal with the monstrosity that is systemd, don't want my email subjugated to a database. Databases are fine for data. I want my email in files so I can easily move away if needed, to another client.
Well if attention is all you need, we have bert now. so we will be able to sort through more information now. But the arms race between spam and attention is definitely going to language wars 2.
>I accept that biologically I thrive on chicken meat yet I am intellectually capable of thinking chicken are very lovely animals.

But today you have the capacity to biologically thrive equally as well without needing to eat chick en meat, so "lovely beings" are being slaughtered for no more than a few moments of sensory pleasure. A terrible price for such a lowly payoff.
Source? Any graphs to look at, for example. That covers years before and after the acquisition?

I've been thinking that GitHub has pretty good uptime.

(I wouldn't personally want to rely on a specific 3rd party like GitHub or Circle CI or anyone, for deploying my software, though. Wow, 560 people have followed the githubstatus.com link (I see in the Discourse forum) that's many people affected I think!)

Redwood Materials was founded by a Tesla cofounder. They have contracts with both legacy (Ford, notably) and startup automakers, and presumably, will have a contract with Tesla at some point. Panasonic (who manufactures a portion of cells Tesla consumes) has an agreement to source materials for battery production from Redwood.

If you’re asking why JB left to found Redwood instead of Tesla building this capability this internally, I’d speculate that it was to demonstrate some form of independence to get legacy automakers onboard versus them potentially being unwilling to work with a competitor and intertwining their supply chains with Tesla. Tesla could always buy Redwood, but based on the investment Redwood has been able to obtain, that’s an unnecessary organizational complexity.

Tangentially, Tesla does refurbish and repair entire battery packs for purchase by vehicle owners. It’s still expensive though (I was quoted $19k for a 100kw Model S battery pack if I needed a replacement out of warranty, and that is very close to Tesla’s costs based on some inside math).

Attributes like inline or likely rarely do that much, so that doesn't explain it. They are merely suggestions, frequently ignored, and the compiler is good at optimizing these things anyway. Languages that allow explicit, deterministic, fine-grained resource management like C, C++, and Rust (systems languages) have significant advantages over ones that do not like Java and Go; certain types of optimizations cannot be effectively implemented without this property. In principle, systems languages can all produce similarly performant code but the amount of work required to get that performance varies greatly.

Modern C++ in particular encourages the extensive use of expressive compile-time metaprogramming to automate optimization that the compiler cannot. In theory, the heavily optimized data structure and algorithm code that is often generated in C++ could be manually written in C or similar. However, in practice, few software engineers have the patience or time to systematically apply those optimizations manually to everything in their code base. I know for a fact that I didn't when I was writing C.

That modern C++ tends to produce the most highly optimized code is more a matter of economy than theoretical capability.
Aside from angle it's taken from, which in itself makes a difference,
this is also gives you a fighting chance to have the subject interact with you or your camera (or what it's hidden in) instead of having a very passive third party view.

This one for instance has near direct look into the camera, and there's no way you'd get that from human waist or eye level

You might have the first one, but they won't describe it as work. They might say "taken risks" "followed my dream" etc.
Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover is my most life-changing book as well.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm sorry it got taken down. I think it's great perspective to hear that the island party still happened this year!
"Stanford’s new social order offers a peek into the bureaucrat’s vision for America. It is a world without risk, genuine difference, or the kind of group connection that makes teenage boys want to rent bulldozers and build islands. It is a world largely without unencumbered joy; without the kind of cultural specificity that makes college, or the rest of life, particularly interesting."

Dolores Umbridge must have assumed the office of High Inquisitor at Stanford.
My parents always said videogames were a waste of time, but at least they ingrained the value of repetitive stat grinding.
I read this whine-piece and it had the opposite effect of what the author intended. I read it and thought, "Well, fucking good."

I don't have anything against most Stanford students. (I mean, the startup bros and spoiled legacy kids can choke, but I imagine many if not most of them are normal people.) However, he's describing a college culture that is racist, classist, and misogynist... and I'm happy to see it get crushed. And sure, the crushing is being done by neoliberal authoritarian capitalists, who aren't my favorite people, but if a side effect of this is the next generation hating neoliberal authoritarian capitalists for whitewashing and degrading their college experience, then I'll take it.
I think you're absolutely right to take that stance, especially as biometrics either allow you to be biologically tracked or require trusting some inscrutable hardware[0] to do some hashing for you (which can likely be reversed, or might not be doing hashing at all).

On the issue of "federated login", though, I think that modern efforts to replace passwords do consider the threat model of adversaries trying to correlate your identity between sites, so the standards at least support you using unique keys between sites. If Apple wanted to track which sites you were visiting, it probably has simpler ways than subverting the login process, so I would need extra evidence to believe that was the danger/intent here.

[0] I've argued elsewhere that the requirements for supporting "device attestation" mean that we are effectively building DRM for human identity, with all the scope for abuses that that entails. Here's a Twitter thread that makes this point very well:

Whether or not various communist revolutions ultimately succeeded is a sideline topic from the general concept that workers in our modern era increasingly are treated as a commodity, and alienated from their product.

There's various ways to attempt to ameliorate this sort of situation through regulatory means without having an October Revolution. I'm talking about more basic things like European countries' vacation time granted for every full time employee, companies moving to a 4-day work week or 32 hour schedule, maternity leave written into law, workplace safety regulations (Marx probably would have loved the general concept of OSHA), etc.
Ultima Online. (Assuming you don't count WoW itself as an example, since the gameplay of Warcraft 1-3 was completely different.)
