I'm giving up for the night, but https://github.com/Smaug123/whisper/pull/1/files at least contains the setup instructions that may help others get to this point. Got it working on the GPU, but it's… much much slower than the CPU? Presumably due to the 'aten::repeat_interleave.self_int' CPU fallback.

Also hitting a nice little PyTorch bug:

The argument in the first paragraph doesn’t really work, I think: the kernel-user boundary is a security one, while the libc-app one is not (OpenBSD is something of an outlier in this respect, and even its case is a bit murky). So it is a tad more natural to draw the ABI boundary at the former point than at the latter, though of course this is not at all the only design consideration.

Looking at this through a KERNEL32 lens, I can actually somewhat see the alternative point of view: in NT < 4 it was mostly an in-process RPC proxy for the subsystem server in CSRSS, and one can argue that libc on Unix-likes is in the same position (cf the vDSO on Linux). You can build RPC to a trusted server either way: define a stable wire protocol; or require the client to load proxy code into its address space. COM on Windows and hardware-accelerated graphics on Linux both take the second approach.

But then why the hell does the proxy also have opinions about memory allocation, assignment of TLS slots, or floating-point formatting? (KERNEL32 has them on the first two points as well, mind you.) History[1] aside, does this really look like good engineering? (KERNEL32 makes a bit of a point there, but given how much HeapAlloc sucks as an allocator compared to the interoperability benefits it brings, I’m not sure it should be taken too seriously.)

Just wait until we find out they've got beer ads on TV.
the problem is that it is really hard to identify. to some manager even a good employee might be a low performer. some managers only see like 1% of you through your days. now imagine you are having a bad day or a bad meeting and on the day your manager is looking at your performance it appears to be subpar because that day you had other worries?

sometimes it only takes one conversation or someone else saying something about you to your manager.

if you think companies work fairly at identifying people « coasting » you are deadwrong. everything is politics.
In Europe we did not print (that much) money and still got inflation.

In fact, the countries that use the same euro currently posted different inflation rates. In your economic model we should have evenly distributed inflation.

So there you go.
Is it good for low income earners to have their food and shelter prices go up due to inflation?

Inflation is considered bad because it affects everyone, though the poorer you are the more it affects you.

Job losses affect those who lose their jobs and indirectly the economy due to less spending. Inflation affects everyone and run away inflation is one of the worst thing a country can experience.

Ran a few other songs through it and found one obvious mistranscription:

This was apparently due to the fact that employees would leave to a different company after receiving the training. However, companies also cut things like pensions which would result in longer term employee retention, so I'm not convinced by this argument.

Perhaps with that bleak and inevitable scenario we'd be all much better off by shooting ourselves now.

Somehow, there seems to be something intrinsic to life that prevents that from happening.

Whether that's a good or bad thing has been endlessly pondered over since the beginning of human cognition—thus the dogged persistence of religion which offers a way out of that depressing inevitability.
MIT study quantifies the impact of face-to-face meetings on innovation
As I see it, facts come from a shared culture. So we have a definition of facts for school questions, a definition of facts for scientific studies, a definition of facts for the justice system, a definition of facts in narrative and artistic critique.

But there's no zone in the brain that directly distinguishes facts from opinions or narratives. The brain has to recognize that other people exist, and those other people have beliefs. All of our culture is built on top of that, including our understanding of facts.

If you were utterly alone, you would develop narratives about the world, but without external challenge there's no reason to believe that you would develop a conception of falsehood. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden is kind of an echo of this.

We are all individuals participating in culture.
> yet prices keep going up

Prices have plateau'd or gone down
This is hard to believe since there were conflicts between the protesters and the residents, who didn't feel safe. There was a heightened lack of security, a sense of lawlessness during this time. The Ottawa Police Service was unprepared and couldn't respond. It's questionable if someone would have lighted the fire under other circumstances, plus one of the resident Matias Muñoz said that another resident came into the hallway and asked the men what they were doing and they admitted to being part of the trucker protest. The police obviously had an interest in calling the event unaffiliated, obviously the arsonists themselves weren't interested in telling otherwise, although one of them later went back to put out the fire. The residents think that they only did it because they were dumb and looked dumb.

The AI Is Coming
The performance boost that matters most here is when your application reads from the database. Your application code is reading directly from disk there, through a very thin FUSE layer that does nothing at all with reads (it only monitors writes).

So your read queries should mostly be measured in microseconds.
seems like the issue might be the economy is more active than ever and there just arent enough employable people to go around (I say employable because there seems to be a growing class of people unable or unwilling to be employed, for whatever reason).

In a way it kind of looks to me like we have reached peak population, at least in the US. Every generation hereafter will have a workforce equal or less than the current in size. That is, unless birth rates change or immigration is allowed on a larger scale.
> The power optimizations are in the Mainboard electrical design, firmware, and OS, and improve both standby and in-use efficiency.

It'd be nice to see improvements in the mainboard of the standard laptops as well. I imagine, in theory, much of the firmware and OS improvements could be installed on one of them already.

> On the storage, we use Western Digital SN730 and SN740 drives, which are also what we put in the pre-built Framework Laptops.

Ah, now I see it. The pre-built one has 256GB & 512GB options that the DIY ones don't have. I'm always amused by how specs differ between OEM and non-OEM parts.

> On the memory and storage, ChromeOS technically has an allow-list for memory and storage, though in practice we have seen modules not on the list work fine. We'll be adding that list onto the Knowledge Base. We will be making parts that are on the list available in the Framework Marketplace for guaranteed compatibility (the memory we already have, and we'll be introducing SN730/SN740 storage up to 1TB).

Awesome. Thanks. These were really helpful answers. As feedback, I'd say it would be nice to be able to select different starting memory options in particular, but this is a really great offering.

Don't think there is much credible evidence or opinion regarding the latter.
> it can emulate concurrent writes in WAL mode

Seems a bit unfair to call WAL mode emulation of "true" concurrent writes as I'm pretty sure a write-ahead-log (WAL) is exactly how other databases implement multiple concurrent writes. It's just always-on rather than being opt-in.
We can do both at the same time though.

The problem is you have very messy flow originating from the fan with a ton of swirl, so it is likely not like the top left diagram and more like the bottom two. It's totally unsteady flow, like in this CFD: https://www.automotivetestingtechnologyinternational.com/wp-...

Wind tunnels use honeycomb flow straighteners to take care of this.

A full blown analysis might use computational aeroacoustics software that can calculate the noise generated from solid geometry in a given flow. This field has advanced considerably since when the article was published due to newer methods like LBM. It'd be beyond the scope of journalism like this, but it is no doubt done by companies with resources like Apple.
They don’t have to advertise that they are legal for road use to sell them to people intending to use them on the road. Another example: a number of e-bike suppliers sell parts that are explicitly described as not road-legal. People may buy them precisely because they are advertised as being faster or more powerful than what is sold in retail stores.

I'm not going to come out one way or another with a declaration of exactly where the line should be drawn (keeping in mind that in my younger years, I didn't even agree with seatbelt mandates), but this sort of tradeoff occurs with any rules at all. They inevitably cause at least some harm, but if the good outweighs the harm by a large enough measure, we adopt the rule anyway. Having speed limits and traffic signals at all is an obvious example. Somebody somewhere has died at least once because they weren't in an ambulance and their driver couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. You're effectively making the Jack Bauer argument. What if a nuke is about to go off and you're absolutely certain the guy you have knows where it is and how you can stop it? Rather than blanket bans on torture, we should teach interrogators how to have good judgement. I suspect you would not accept the exact same argument in that case.
Those are Irish.
But then it wouldn't be soccer any more. Of course you could just build a high wall over the field so the opponents are physically prohibited to score. I'm quite sure that still is prohibited, even if you call the wall a player.

I don't think you need the players to look like humans, but you have to in some way keep the spirit of the game. For example, you can't pick up the ball and hold it while you move, but have to roll or bounce it in front of yourself (dribble).
> I can install Windows on anything and it will work.

Not necessarily. There's plenty of instances of devices working poorly in Windows before the issues get patched (if they are at all).

If you want something that 'just works', you are indeed better with the Apple ecosystem. They control the hardware and software.

The only way around these issues is to pressure vendors to provide better Linux support. The only reason Windows laptops tend to work better out of the box (or at least with all hardware working to some extent) is because of all the testing done by vendors.
Yes. Maybe I didn't say that directly enough, but that was my motivation for writing my comment.
The headline is a bit clickbait-y. What they specifically say is that "an advanced AI that oversees some important function" could learn harmful behaviors.

While that's certainly possible, it depends on humans choosing to put AI in charge of that important function and the function being important enough to eliminate humanity before the AI can be shut down. In other words, don't build Harlan Ellison's AM and "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" won't happen.

Inaccurate science communication like this is a big problem - laypeople read the headline and start to irrationally fear and oppose AI in general, when the prediction is only about a highly specific, ill-advised use case.
I don't think that distinction legally matters (in Europe). Every product or service in Europe has to "ensure that your products meet the EU requirements to protect human and animal health, the environment and consumers rights." [1]. This means every consumer buying a product in Europe (from a European entitiy) can assume that the product or service is legal.

If the alternative is mass unemployment I would rather pay 10% more for eggs

Job losses affect the entire economy: the rich don't care since they do not rely employment and wages.

In contrast the wealthy are hit enormously by inflation as they start losing in real terms.

The fed prioritizing inflation over unemployment is a massive hit to the working classes. Doesn't matter if eggs only increased by 2% if you lost your home because there are no more jobs.
This is an insane assertion, if only because the Fed is run by public financial figures.

I've got a gl.iNet GL-MiFi[1], which you can open the case for and attach your choice of antennas to the modem. The modem has two u.fl connectors for LTE, and one for GNSS; I got a 3rd party antenna that's no longer offered so I could use GNSS, and I got a little better LTE reception as well.

That particular model is discontinued, but the updated model GL-X750[2] probably works about the same, uses the same modem modules, and appears to have external LTE antennas. They've got WiFi, but I turn that off and use the wired Ethernet.

Nobody denied anything, not sure why you do lie so obviously. Flights ie via Istanbul were fully booked since February, you have no idea how many russians spent their holidays in ie Egypt or Sicily. I've been to both after invasion and let me tell you, sometimes I felt I am in some russian black sea resort, just russians everywhere.

They still do travel into Europe, just need to add a hop or two. Same for Switzerland, chock full of them just as before. You can spot them from mile, and their language is hard to not recognize immediately (especially since I come from former eastern bloc previously occupied by russians)

Just for reference, the ping command is a little different

sudo ping6 -D -G 1500,1400 fly.io

I set an MSS to 1492 which pfsense (my router) translates to an MSS clamp of 1492-60 for IPv6 and 1492-40 for IPv4. This is a German Deutsche Telekom Fiber connection. Now everything works fine, I can request fly.io (and also discovered that https://ipv6-test.com was not working before and now does with the MSS clamping)

Does MSS clamping have any disadvantages? Are there any alternatives in my case?

It's Putin's hoped-for end game that seems to me primary: How does Ukraine get to a stable situation that leaves him in power? That's his minimum requirement. If the West tries to deny him that, who can be say what level of violence and terror he would not descend to?

Consider the recent attacks on the electrical grid. Taking the tactic to the extreme, imagine EMP-bombs over all major facilities. A non-electrified Ukraine, economy pushed back to 19th century methods.
