LoRA as a method to implement serial bridges over very narrow channels and low RSL/CINR rates in radio is fine. LoRAWAN and similar are fine. Lots of possible applications. The crypto part is what's truly bizarre.

I don't know how anyone who has spent any time researching bulk-data-service plans for embedded multi-band cat1 LTE radios (a few bucks a month from Verizon or Tmobile per radio) would think that a less reliable, vastly less-covered-area "helium" thing would be something you could rely on for actual traffic to/from your equipment.

It seems to me that such a split could be because OpenAI has decided that ChatGPT needs to be public to get hype, partners, investment, training data, etc. Google many not need or want those things.

It's definitely possible that ChatGPT is way better than LaMDA, but I wouldn't take the availability of a public demo as proof of that.

At 4:22, he says watching buildroot run "it really feels like you are gaining a couple of IQ every single time."

LOL.

Over many years I spent too much time staring at NetBSD kernels and other binaries building under build.sh. I think I am generally dumber as a result.

Perhaps one becomes a little more knowledgeable about UNIX but certainly not more knowledgeable about life. There is something relaxing about watching UNIX compile though.

I can relate to his complaint about bulding python and cmake. I just compiled cmake yesterday. Wow it is slow. I could build multiple BSD kernels in the time it takes to compile cmake.

At the end, he makes a comment about how the boot console is really fast but once it is disabled the system is much slower. He wants to stay in the boot console but does not know how. This is easy on NetBSD. Even though terminal emulators for X11 can be really fast and allow for cut and paste, I prefer VGA textmode.

Here is another tiny emulator with a RISC-V buildroot port. I like this one because it works with musl.

I've always been super curious about the YC application vs. accepted demographics. ESPECIALLY who gets told to come back with a co-founder.

I applied as a solo woman technical founder with a product that is already close to ramen profitability. Going in, I thought this already made me an outlier - especially because I'll be able to tap my network and hire a founding team with some cash in the bank.

The tepid response during YC interviews was jarring. I know the panels are an exhausting marathon, but my group partners acted like they'd rather be anywhere else than talking to me. I got the impression that maybe I'd been invited to fill a quota, and the Zoom interview was just going through the motions.

The whole experience made me sit down and reverse-engineer the actions needed to hit 10-15k MRR by Q2 2023. With that amount of cash flow, I can reach out to angels directly. Just 6 angels in for 30k/1% party round is 180k @ 3M post.

If you're a woman with a similar story, I'm an angel investor (B2B, Saas, manufacturing). Reach out (email in profile).
The biggest part of the Hitman 3 outrage was that IOI dropped the ball on back-compatibility, it was a bit of a hassle and poorly communicated throughout how one would gain access to the levels from Hitman and Hitman 2 from purchased copies on Steam, inside Hitman 3 from Epic.

IIRC one of the early messages was "you'll just need to own them on Epic - Hitman was free for a week a year ago and Hitman 2 was just on sale for 80% off last month (but isn't anymore)" and if you missed those you were SOL. Though I understand it's complicated by the publisher/ownership situation w/ Square Enix for the first Hitman, I'm glad they got it sorted for launch (and even happier that they're simplifying the whole trilogy behind one SKU later this month).
That doesn’t make sense. On the 5000 series, we saw 3D was worth ~20% performance uplift, clock for clock, in the right workloads.

A 5GHz CCD with +20% would then be only barely faster than a 5.7GHz CCD with no 3D, at which point the pairing you suggest makes little sense.

Besides, 5800X3D attained 5.6GHz so there’s no big reason to think 7000X3D would be capped at 5GHz.
I can confirm that is the the going rate right now.

Is the discrepancy just the inefficiency (i.e. waste heat) of the charging circuitry and/or battery chemistry?

I'm not positive on the specifics but I believe it has more to do with the combination of supported voltages/amperages offered by different chargers. i.e. a "350 kW capable" charger in practice means it can do 800V charging, which other chargers of lower kW ratings typically can't do, and the EV6 requires 800V to reach its max charge speed but can't actually handle a high enough amperage to get to 350 kW.

Like I said though, I might be confused on some of the details there, but I'm fairly positive it's not just waste heat...dissipating 110kW of waste heat would require some pretty insane cooling hardware.

Oh, and EVs presumably vary wildly in their "fuel economy" (miles per kilowatt-hour or whatever unit EV folks use), so even a "fair" comparison of charging rate presumably wouldn't paint the entire picture.

This is indeed a good point. A more relevant measure of charging speed would be something like "miles per hour at EPA rated efficiency", though even that gets messy since most cars don't charge at a linear speed. And I haven't seen any car manufacturers use this metric other than Tesla, who like to brag about their supercharger stations exceeding 1,000 MPH of charging speed (though only the newest stations can just barely do that, for very short durations, and only on certain car models). "Time from 20%-80% charge" would also be a better metric, due to non-linear charging speed curves, but I haven't seen that one used much either.
> You'd just need to have a mutex lock on the values.

Oh no they're saying that it's thread-safe, that's not an issue. Rather that depending on the order of initialisation, possibly of different systems entirely, you can have different initial states because different systems or subsystem decided of the default value.
Um. I don't want to sound difficult, but I would personally want to turn your attention to words of Elizebeth Rosenberg[1] about de-risking. Surely, you would not consider calling her Joe Public that has no understanding of the issues at hand? All this is a result of current badly outdated banking regime and that includes the apparent need and emergence of crypto.

I agree that it is a cause and effect, but I worry that you may be mistaking one for the other.

The tech bubble has a ways to deflate still
They refer to score models, where the score is the density of the dataset at the input.

Imagine you have a huuuuge landscape, with peaks and valleys. This landscape defines the density of the distribution. Now, imagine that you have a bunch of samples drawn from the distribution, this is the dataset.

Sampling an image is a mixture of dirac delta functions (or a mixture of Gaussian with variance approaching zero).

We can increase the variance to smoothen the landscape. This sort of builds an empirical estimate of the true landscape.

The height of this landscape is “the score”.

It turns out that we can actually compute an approximation of the gradient of the score.

The gradient of the score always points towards where the score (aka density) will increase, and you essentially apply gradients to “walk” towards a high density region.

This idea is actually very similar to using gradients to create poisoned inputs that are falsely predicted.

I am being a bit handwavey here, we don’t just increase the variance, but this is a decent enough approximation of what’s happening and what the gradient refers to in this case.

For all intents and purposes, you can think of the gradient as a vector pointing towards the direction that the density of the dataset increases.

I’d agree that the Saudi Arabia does many bad things, but “probably the most unambiguously evil government in the world” is quite a stretch. Russia is currently throwing conscripts into an unprovoked war in Ukraine.

There are also a number of very troubling states throughout central Africa and Asia, such as Afghanistan, which is descending further into government-led disaster.

If I had a family history of schizophrenia I would personally avoid psychedelics (and weed) entirely.

Several studies have shown small numbers of people with a family history of schizophrenia showing symptoms during and after the study. Granted, this could just be a confounding effect (the symptoms normally manifest during the phase of life the study participants were in) So a causal link has not been established, and studies necessarily to find a causal link would be unethical. (You’d have to deliberately induce schizophrenia in people who wouldn’t normally have it)

But the suspicion is good enough for me. If I had a family history of schizophrenia I would never try psychedelics ever in my life.

> Writing to disk is fast and my internet is fast. Things feel super snappy. I've been building computers from parts since about 1998, I think this is the longest I ever went without an upgrade.

I did like you: rocking a Core i7-6700 from, what, 2015 up until early 2022. 16 GB of RAM, NVMe PCI 3.0 x4 SSD, the first Samsung ones. I basically build that machine around one of the first Asus mobo to offer a NVMe M.2 slot.

It was and still is an amazing machine. I gave it to my wife and I'm now using an AMD 3700X since about a year and... I'll be changing it for a 7700X in the coming weeks (hopefully).

The 3700X is definitely faster than my trusty old 6th gen core i7 but Zen 4 is too good to be true so I'm upgrading.

All this to say: you can stay with the same system for seven years then upgrade twice in less than 12 months!

It is interesting to see how ClickHouse webpage changed, lately. If I didn't know there is open source version, I would not find it.

You have to go to Product menu to see Open source ClickHouse or scroll several screens to find low contrast Open source quickstart button, right next to high contrast Try Cloud now button. The button will take you to a tutorial section of the documentation, where you have to scroll over a into video of getting started on ClickHouse Cloud, and then you have to switch from ClickHouse Cloud tab to Self-Managed tab, to get to how to actually use it.

It's like the non-hosted version is a secret!

I understand everybody wants to make money, and people took money from VCs and they want results, etc. But I remember time when the webpage was just docs and that was it, and it leaves bit of a sad taste in my mouth.
At the price point and unique function, the first thing I compared these to are Yeezys, Balenciaga sneakers, and rare Jordan colorways.

Alternatively, I'm wondering who's walking around all day in their job function and if there is some type of ROI on equipping them with shoes like these.

Elixir sigils[1][2].

The function syntax I like even more is one with implicit arguments so you don’t have to name them, e.g.

waiting = sum workers #(%.in_queue + %.in_flight)

Clojure has some syntax like this though it isn’t needed for the most obvious use-case of functions to extract fields because keywords, which are usually used for map keys, are implicitly functions that look themselves up in their arg, e.g.

(:bar { :foo 3, :bar 2 }) ; => 2

> If I used it and found it useful, does that make me a criminal?

Probably whoever's on the other side of the transaction is. If you bought your BTC on localbitcoins you probably got them from a money launderer for instance. Nootropic companies are the most legal crypto users I'm aware of.

(And don't forget the costs of converting to/from crypto coins to get to the final good you purchased with the money you transferred.)

> So, allow me to reframe the question, if only criminals use it, why do they do it if it is not useful to them. Your argument is a little flimsy.

Criminals aren't very smart. If they were, they wouldn't be criminals, which is a very low-paying career.

> I agree in principle, but between all the hacks we have seen from all the other non-crypto companies over the past few years, I am not willing to hold crypto to a higher standard.

The regular financial system doesn't need to be 100% immune to hacking because it can undo transactions.
+ totally agree with that.

There is a use case when you can improve performance by keeping compressed (LZ4) data in RAM and decompressing by small blocks that fit in cache. This is demonstrated by ClickHouse[1][2] - the whole data processing after decompression fits in cache, and compression saves the RAM bandwidth.

The industry has been trying to do "transparent remoting" for decades now. DCOM and CORBA were both basically that.

It turns out that "transparent RPC" is basically a contradiction in terms. As soon as you start doing things across process boundaries, and even more so across network boundaries, it requires a very different approach for API design - something that's very cheap locally, like passing objects by reference, becomes expensive and full of footguns.

If you reduce the feature set to the point where it can be transparently mapped to either local or RPC - which is, basically, function calls processing and returning data organized into arrays & trees (but not graphs) - there's still the issue that RPC has so many more failure points that you have to handle that would never light up in local.

This is all still doable; I have my doubts about practical the end result would be, though.

1. this is absolutely terrible because now you need feedback from the type checker to know how to parse the program

2. it is furthermore also ambiguous with function application, requiring arbitrary lookahead to disambiguate, also not a fun thing to do

JS gets away with it because the sigil was not previously used and it only requires a single lookahead to parse, as only single-parameter anonymous functions can have "bare" parameter lists.
