>does that imply GPU is 100% loaded?

What I gather from the text is that it's a calculated (from design libraries), rather than measured, full load power draw. Which would make these numbers the upper bound, and thus very good.

I might be wrong.

Either way, as these boards are reaching people, it shouldn't take long until we see measured power draw and temperatures.
As a sample of 1 I want to see either a hugely compelling idea or a working example. I don't offer up my email to just anyone. I understand your dilemma.
I wonder what the equivalent sound is now?
My understanding is that it's reasonably common for a chunk of agender/nonbinary people to use traditional feminine/masculine pronouns.

It just seems a bit more direct to ask how people want to be referred to; I would compare it to how typically in web forms we ask people if they go by Mrs/Ms/Mr/Dr/etc directly, rather than asking them if they have a PHD and are married.

Especially if we're talking about gendered languages where there isn't strong support for nonbinary pronouns/variants. Someone telling us that they're agender/nonbinary doesn't actually help us much in that situation; we won't know from that information alone whether to use feminine or masculine variants.
I think they are. When a crash happens, the cause is identified, we patch the bug, and redeploy the system. After that, the software cannot fail for the same reason again—it's less fragile than before.

A fragile thing is like a wine glass. Once it breaks, it cannot be restored to its original state and especially not made better than before.

However, if you're talking about patching the system while it's still running, check out "Stop Writing Dead Programs" from Strangeloop '22: https://youtu.be/8Ab3ArE8W3s

> 8 hour work day, not child labour, worker safety, etc, etc, etc

1. That is a list of issues that have legal complications. That goes to my core point - organising to effect political change is far more effective than the typical union.

All the workers on Straten Island would be just as politically effective whether they have union representation on their day job or not.

2. I'm not sure what you are trying to say with the Hoffa article, but note that the union is called the teamster union. The obsolescence of draft animals and, by extension, the end of teamstering as a profession did more for their working conditions than the union did.

3. That list is made up of pretty pathetic achievements vs what the capitalists have managed. Wealthy capitalists have doubled and doubled their wealth in the same time. I'd work 10 hours a day in exchange for that sort of money. And the capitalists don't need to take risks they are uncomfortable with because they own the business. Not sure about the child labour thing.

The unions won what they asked for, and it turned out what they were asking for wasn't very clever. They should have been asking for ways to build an ownership stake in businesses, taking some of the risk and reaping some of the reward.
Crypto-authenticated update & replication works really, really well nowadays. Lots of open-source support, extensive testing, proven track records even in adversarial deployments.

> Try getting the wording of a contract changed

I've gotten the wording of employment contracts changed. BTW, you're far more likely to get what you want by being nice than by threats.

> you've never had to go to court up against the contracts you've signed

Yeah, I have. And I won.
When a company tells a employer to ignore $SAFETY_CODE or to pretend $NORMAL_HUMAN_NEED does not exist, they do NOT negoitate. They tend to go all "my way or the highway" on these things.

The making-demands-phase typically happens after employees and unions argued for a certain thing for years without any changes.

You don't need to demand something if you just asked for it and they said "Yes, but it would be best for the company to do it that way" and you go like "alright, fair enough". If the thing you want is that agreeable, you'd be silly to put in the energy to protest.

Companies are not the victims here, for that you just have to compare the groth of profits to the groth of median salary over the past years.

Unions form when companies take too much. And yeah, unions can be a thorn in a companies flesh after they get active. There is one simple trick to avoid unions: treat your employees in a way they don't need an union to defend their interest.

Timbor is one used for insect repellant. Boralife sells pre-treated lumber and your local lumber yard can probably supply you with other brands.

IIRC for fire retardant a 7:3 mix of boric acid and borax dissolved in distilled water (at 80C to speed up dissolution) can be used. Borax reduces flame spread but can cause smoldering while boric acid suppresses smoldering. AFAIK any concentration high enough for flame suppression is plenty to deter insects and prevent fungi/rot.

In my driving style the ACC helps me by letting me focus on only braking. Without ACC taking care of the throttle, I would have to micromanage my speed to keep it above an acceptable limit so I won’t get annoyed followers.

With ACC I can decrease the amount of foot shuffling and just rest my foot next to the brake pedal in case something happens up front. My car model comes with emergency braking that can be toggled off but it worked perfectly one time a driver slowed down unexpectedly (alerted me first, then braked).

Guide: How to Find and Hire Offshore Software Developers
As someone who lived in the Eastern Block (not USSR though), I can tell you: struggle and no hope.

Struggle to get the basics for life: heat, food, clothing, books, disposables. It all took queues, friends, relatives, and black markets.

No hope for the future: no matter what you did, how hard you tried, there was no way to improve your lot in life. It was all outside your influence, all controlled by The Party.

The only dream we had was to somehow escape to the Free West. It was dangerous and you could lose your (or your loved one's) life in the process, but for many it was worth it.
In my opinion 90% of the reason we don’t have more accidents is because people are so predictable. Watch dangerous drivers weave through traffic - it’s only possible because everyone follows spoken and unspoken rules. Randomly stopping is not some “you need to be prepared, it’s your fault” moment.

HA design for stores is interesting. You want the store to stay up (dispensing goods and accepting payments generally, additionally preparing food in this case) as much as possible. At the same time you want a solution that is cheap to deploy and maintain.

Making everything in the store a dumb client is cheap and easy, but also fragile.
Doing as much computing in each store (and even on each POS) as possible is great for HA but now you have more complicated hardware and software deployment problems.
Different merchants trade these off in different ways.

CFA seem to have gone for a lot of computing in the store, and the rest of the design is about mitigating those deployment and maintenance problems and costs.
I like the NUC cluster, Gitops, API and support team stories. Am less keen on the K3S deployment per store, seems like a questionable choice of orchestration engine for this scenario but maybe there are details of rest of their store architecture that I'm missing.
That is not an independent undergoing of centumisation or satemisation. The terms specifically relate to the development of the three PIE velars. "Satemisation" is not simply a synonym for "velar palatalisation"; it means the the language is a PIE language that merged *k *kʷ but kept *ḱ distinct at some critical threshold. All Romance languages are centum languages on the other hand because they treat *k and *ḱ the same (palatalising both before front vowels without consideration of its origin) but *kʷ was distinct (even if nowadays the labialisation is often dropped, so that que is pronounced /ke/ - but it is clear that it was treated distinctly from *k which would have been palatalised in that context).
The Soviet Union was a vast and diverse territory with a wide range of cultural and educational systems. However, the reality for many in the scientific community was one of forced labor and control by the politburo. Fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and academic freedom were suppressed and non-existent.

Modern people must remember that they were told what to work on, when, and how much they would get paid. There wasn't the concept of Sundays or vacations as we have today. There were no choices, only the government's choice.

> They have a big appetite for adding complexity to systems .... What was notable, though, was his immediate willingness to write that feature.

From your descriptions, it seems less about "adding complexity = good", and more about "solving things in a neat way = good" (for some definition of 'neat').

> Do you have any thoughts on how to work with them in a productive and friendly way?

I'm not sure you've articulated the problem very well?

It sounds like if they left & the code was handed to you, you'd be concerned about hard-to-spot bugs in the sophisticated code. -- But if the code & its correctness is your colleagues responsibility (& not yours), what's the problem?

> It boiled down to me advocating for more whitespace in his code and him arguing that adding whitespace made the code harder to read.

If a union is a business that sells labor how is it not win-win for companies to be able to buy labor?

That's also a reductive view of unions. The 40 hour work week, weekends off, healthcare, and banning child labor wouldn't have resulted from your characterization.

What tactics do businesses use? Can you name any that you are against?
> and now streaming and internet have democratized access and content creation

It's the other way around - they have more monopolized (or rather, oligopolized) the content creation and distribution aspect. Say you're an independent producer... small "arthouse"-style cinemas have closed down shop everywhere because it simply isn't worth it to run them any more without serious financial assistance, which means you essentially have to put your movie up on Youtube/Vimeo/whatever and completely lose out on income besides the assistance money from moviemaker funds, crowdfunding, government facilities and rich sponsors.

Alternatively, you focus on monetization via Netflix - but unless you are already well-known enough that your name will get your movie into Netflix anyway, you have to do that upfront because of Netflix' technical requirements [1], so you lose out on quite a bit of artistic freedom, not to mention the "Netflix look" aka color grading [2].

When I learn something new, I try to find relations to existing ideas or topics in my head and to map them together. It helps me to reduce the cognitive load as well as see, for example, if I solve something similar I could just reuse "it"

Also, I inmediately try to find a way to make it useful for me. This is not always the case because I tend to read more rather than "do" more but it helps me create even more relations in my brain.

Also, from time to time I revisit the topic and do the same steps as before because in the meantime I could have learned something that might be useful for the first thing.

Also, if is really important or something really nice for me I try to simplify it and teach it (Feynman technique style).

Taking notes and mind-maps have not worked for me, I feel that once is written in notes (digital) or in xmind I tend to really forget about it.

Just next door to Poland, in Germany, it's already $15 per ticket. And at least with adults or teenagers it's very easy to spend another $10 per person on snacks and something to drink, which already pushes you to $100 for four people.
Businesses have such cost-cutting ideas all the time, the problem is that most of those ideas involve firing people. If the deal is: "we will fire 20% of staff, but those who remain will get 5% raise" no union will agree to it.
We had Oracle corrupt itself due to software bug. It similarly went undetected for some time and thus ended in backups.
Again, what's the point of a vote to form a union, if you can be in a union or not as you choose? The ones who want a union can just make one.

Well that still happens, but instead it's in history classes.

But in soviet countries during soviet times we had precisely that kind of "philosophy" classes mandatory. I wonder if that is what they meant?

You're far more likely to get what you want by having a well written contract.

You may have gotten contract wording changed with a small company, but the Amazons of the world will not do that. And these are exactly the companies where labor needs unions so they can collectively bargain against a powerful and organized management and legal team. You simply don't have the resources as an individual.

Being polite is always a good strategy but being nice would mean working for free. That would be very nice. Is that your approach?

It's also not nice to take your employer to court. What happened to your be nice strategy there? Why did you threaten with legal action? It sounds like you can't even follow your own advice.

The divulgational title is almost an understatement: the Forward-Forward algorithm is an alternative to backpropagation.

Edit: sorry, the previous formulation of the above in this post, relative to the advantages, was due to a misreading. Hinton writes:

> The Forward-Forward algorithm (FF) is comparable in speed to backpropagation but has the advantage that it can be used when the precise details of the forward computation are unknown. It also has the advantage that it can learn while pipelining sequential data through a neural network without ever storing the neural activities or stopping to propagate error derivatives....The two areas in which the forward-forward algorithm may be superior to backpropagation are as a model of learning in cortex and as a way of making use of very low-power analog hardware without resorting to reinforcement learning

Taking the position of being the costly solution is never a winning pitch.
TBH that’s not exactly true. For entrepreneurs possibilities were indeed limited (it was not impossible, but very hard to enrich yourself), for everyone else the career ladder did exist and you could make considerable impact by your work. SU was running a space program, there was a lot of scientific research and engineering. It raised several generations of dreamers, who now miss that time dearly, when they could just work on what they liked, whether it’s science or city planning, get a free apartment from state, go to parental leave without worries for the future etc. It was empire of evil for sure, but it does not mean people could not use their education for something meaningful.
The video is literally evidence of the effects of following too closely. From the back angle, there are 4 vehicles starting with the white truck in the leftmost lane that pass through within 1.5 seconds; a few are only a few hundred milliseconds apart! If you switch back to the front view you see that’s exactly the cluster that piles up onto the safety braked vehicles ahead of them, because the white truck they’ve been tailgating has swerved into a moving lane and exposed the stopped traffic.

Everyone beside perhaps the first car that had an incursion into its lane (but arguably failed to reduce speed to avoid an accident with a vehicle braking and signaling their lane) are WAY too close for the speed. Any speed reductions in those lanes would necessitate heavy braking which would cause exactly the ripple effects you’re referring to under normal conditions because there’s no buffer whatsoever to gradually reduce speed/increase distance either.
