> OpenAI Triton only officially supports Nvidia GPUs today, but that is changing in the near future. Multiple other hardware vendors will be supported in the future, and this open-source project is gaining incredible steam.

It's not even the first tool for allowing ML workloads in non NVidia cards. ROCm already exists. TF already supports M1/M2 GPU already. The entire point is that no cards come close to Nvidia on raw GPGPU performance, and this is not going to change in near future.
Ah, well, only second-hand for me then. Thanks for letting me know.

Hopefully my laptop will outlast these tyrannical practices. If it doesn't, I'll just skip the dedicated GPU entirely.

I think COVID is perhaps different than other health and medical topics. The key factor about COVID-19 is that 3 years ago we knew pretty much nothing other than: "People are going to the hospital, not thinking they are starved for oxygen, but are posting horrible O2 numbers. Vents keep them alive a while, but lots of them die."

Seems pretty obvious that "the longer medicine has had to explore something, the more medicine can separate the wheat from the chaff." And even then when incidence is low: Are you sure that exposing the patient to the 24 hour healing property of pink light saved them, or were they one of these folks who would pull through anyway.

Maybe worth a listen: https://radiolab.org/episodes/312245-rodney-versus-death

As to the first "citizen medic" hypothesis, I think this already is in place for lots of established conditions. Perhaps not to the degree it should be, but I can certainly know when to use an ice pack or a heating pad, when to take aspirin, and can go get CPR certified.

As to the "holistic view of heath" perhaps there was a mixed messaging opportunity, but at least here in the US it was hardly the worst missed messaging opportunity. They totally whiffed on masking messaging.

The internet is a fine place to exchange information on understood things. The internet is a horrible place to exchange information on poorly understood things that science is focusing on because the internet mob is not science minded and the mediums we use to have these discussions are monetized for attention. "We don't know yet" is not an interesting answer from the "company gets paid for attention" point of view.
So you're arguing there should be more up front blockers between a person and their attempts to get health care, European-style?
A significant fraction of US and UK problems come from the same root of people refusing to have a good faith look at what's actually happening, or deal with the large amount of overtly misleading media output and unmeetable promises.
> Unfortunately, whether you use CUDA or not, NVIDIA hardware is still the only realistic performant option.

> Maybe the move away from CUDA dependence for these frameworks will make other manufacturers step up competition for accelerating ML workloads. But they should have been doing that anyway...

That is entirely down to SW, not the HW. For example consider these two 24GB cards:

Nvidia 4090: 82.58 TFLOPS/$1,599 = 51 GFLOPS/$

AMD 7900 XTX: 61.42 TFLOPS/$999 = 61 GFLOPs/$
MSIX doesn't implement sandboxing. Apps can opt in to being sandboxed via that tech, but you can also write totally unsandboxed apps. There's also a very light weight app container mode called (internally) Helium which just redirects some filesystem and registry stuff, but the goal is to make uninstalls clean, not security.

The Windows kernel does offer an impressive number of options to lock down processes. Look at the Chrome sandbox code some time. The Windows API is huge but you can really lock it down a lot. The macOS sandbox architecture is, however, the best. The Linux approach is sadly in third place.

Maybe not exactly what you had in mind, but is a lot of literature in general on trying to extract interpretations from neural network models, and to a lesser extent from other complicated nonlinear models like gradient boosted trees.

Somewhat famously, you can plot the weight activations on a heatmap from a CNN for image processing and obtain a visual representation of the "filter" that the model has learned, which the model (conceptually) slides across the image until it matches something. For example: https://towardsdatascience.com/convolutional-neural-network-...

Many techniques don't look directly at the numbers in the model. Instead, they construct inputs to the model that attempt to trace out its behavior under various constraints. Examples include Partial Dependence, LIME, and SHAP.

Also, those "deep dream" images that were popular a couple years ago are generated by running parts of a deep NN model without running the whole thing.
JAX replaced TF by many Google research people internally, like Google Brain, and also DeepMind. However, TF is still very actively used by Google as well, esp for production. Google is big.
It’s possible it’s not a problem, I’d be inclined to give yourself a break. A lot of the “essentials” we’re supposed to splurge on (big house, cars, expensive food, etc) are often overrated when you look at it from a “does this make my life better” lens.

Investing in yourself - be that skills or life experiences - is worthwhile but you can do even that with a frugal slant.
Most Twitter users don't use a third party client, but anyone who's anyone uses a third party client, and most of Twitter's features (retweets, quote tweets, pull to refresh, the use of a bird, the use of the word tweet....) were invented by third party apps.

Imo, they definitely need more fine-grained permissions. (See other comments in this thread about that).
You don't need FIB install for that.

For any amount of reasonable distinction of "servers" and "routers", you should never need a FIB install on a server. There are good reasons to keep these functions separate (most prominently, address ownership/binding issues with services that are frequently not designed to deal with multiple interfaces/route choices.)

NB: this is not about physical devices. VMs/containers on your host are frequently "servers" while the hypervisor is a "router".

My understanding is that policies vary from one country to the next.

I'm American. My understanding is that in the US you need a prescription from a licensed healthcare professional to get medication from a pharmacy.
This usually means a doctor but in some states a physician's assistant may have the authority to write prescriptions.

In the US, if it doesn't require a prescription, it is sold over the counter, though they may check your ID to see if you are a legal adult for some things.

I have heard anecdotally that in other countries pharmacists can sometimes dispense medication without a prescription.

HN is a very international discussion space. This fairly often leads to people speaking past each other as their comments may well be rooted in a completely different set of assumptions and mental models about how such things work.
Yes. The idea is that in machine learning you care more about dynamic range and being able to represent many numbers than you care about the precise number.
The GP system is failing, but the Americans will tell you that a £2k bill for an A&E visit is quite cheap. Mind you, the American system has three sets of numbers which are mostly fictional and completely different: the hospital bill, the amount paid by the insurer, and the out-of-pocket "excess" that you actually have to pay.

Don't forget that in both countries public healthcare has to do a lot for the over-65s who don't have spare money for spiralling costs.
I'm curious why this is so shocking to you (as a Belgian) when the country literally right next door has health insurance, premiums, and deductibles.

https://www.zorgwijzer.nl/zorgvergelijker/english

The lowest deductible on that page is ~$400.

That said, I'm shocked that the average wage in Belgium is only $1500. That sounds very low, do you not have any workers protections for wages?
Indeed. For as long as it costs more than fuel, only greenwashers will buy it.

This is a red herring distracting you from the fact that oil is subsidized when it should be taxed.

AMD's position on machine learning has been fascinating to watch. While the company has gone through some cash strapped years, investing even some marginal effort into the ML space would have paid off handsomely in data center sales. Instead they let nvidia run away with it, pushing out a half-baked ROCm, which bizarrely supports such a tiny subset of cards it is farcical: With nvidia devs with a standard consumer GPU are building solutions and testing models, and when it's time to push big staying with nvidia is just the easy choice, while AMD apparently tries to upsell for even marginal support.

Apple has done more to see Apple Silicon supported in the ML space in almost no time than AMD did over the past decade. Apple obviously has more resources, but they don't have a 1000 person team working on this, I suspect, but instead it's a very commando, efficient operation. They got a small number of dedicated resources committed to bringing support and enabling the community, and it happened.
> Rest of World spoke to 18 entrepreneurs, recruiters, and developers in Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, all of whom acknowledged that the recent layoffs across the tech sector globally haven’t freed up experienced developers for hire by regional companies.

Tech companies don't hire and layoff exclusively tech workers. It takes more than engineers to run and grow a company. That is, when we hear X is laying off 15%...that's 15% of all bodies (e.g., marketing, HR, etc.) not all 15% is engineering.

Once you start dismissing engineers, you suffer a brain drain. I've seen nothing to indicate that's happening in general). Of course there might be a couple with no choice.
I agree, mainly because luxury emissions are what people aspire to, for themselves. This cultural model, that if you are consuming more you are cool and high status, has to stop.

No, you are a loser who can't read reality. If you have a private jet you are just ignorant, in the sense that you ignore what is happening on this planet.

That's a cultural shift that we need to happen swiftly.
Tragically, I’m of the opinion LLM’s are going to make this much, much worse. You can buy SEO optimized writing for a few fractions of a cent/word. When that price permanently drops to 0 (and with ChatGPT, it debatably already has), I think the resulting blogspam will start drowning out any real human signal left. Depressing stuff.
> If your ID has your address printed on it, then you are lucky and can just take a photo of the ID and yourself holding the ID. If you don't, then you need to go to a notary and sign a special form provided by Sectigo.

That's the problem ID's don't have addresses printed on them in most European countries. So you have to get a notary and this is really expensive. There is a system to proof your place of residence here without a notary but these companies don't accept them.
Pinocchio Virtual Machine: Nearly Practical Verifiable Computation
A great report, which concludes with “everything we described here only supports CUDA backend for now, but it will change at some indeterminate point in the future”.

And there’s a reason for that. OpenCL and particularly ROCm are much lower level and much less immediately usable compared to CUDA. AMD now has HIP, but HIP is “something that is almost CUDA-compatible, with no real improvements”, instead of actually doing something new and better. CUDA is an old API, and certainly has its rough edges, but I wonder why nobody has managed to do something genuinely _better_ in all these years.

ROCm is so low-level and pedantic it is nearly unusable. A simple implementation of FFT takes about 150 lines of C++/CUDA and about 2000 lines in ROCm — so no, no competition at all.
The out-of-box look isn't exactly great, but I'm using Breeze Twilight theme (dark shell + light apps) and Breeze Classic color scheme - and it doesn't feel that way anymore at all. Both are available by default in system settings, and you can even set a custom accent color there.
Sounds like they just lost your number from their address book, lol. I've had this happen countless times.

Have you actually tried to write something with ROCm compared to CUDA? For me, ROCm is very low-level, boilerplate-ridden and nearly unusable.
Ideal for embedded systems where resources are limited.
since the device (clamp/fork meter) doesn't know if there is a current going or not... but if you control the load/current - it should be trivial to zero 'em.
The Fourier transform is also linear, so the same solution should work. No clue if an NN would find it though.
> Is there anything a browser extension can do that Tampermonkey cannot?

Tampermoney is an extension, so it can obviously do the same as others. But how much of this does it make accessible to the user scripts? Can you access the local file system? Other Servers? Can you modify the browser-interface itself? Context menu, toolbars, sidebar, add shortcuts, etc.? Can you save persistent data? And can you do all this at an elaborated level of quality?

Critically, there's also cost. The formula is $W Nvidia for N-flops vs $X ROCm for N-flops + $Y engineering cost of recoding.

If $W > $X + $Y, then people will go with AMD.
Modernizing embedded development on Azure Sphere with Rust
Just finished living with a financial and emotional hoarder.

When a person groans about spending $1,000 on high quality Michelin AS4 tires for an appropriate car, they are being obstinate. Money is to purchase things for life, not the purpose in life. It doesn't take a lot if one sets expectations and standard of living appropriately.

Personally I've learned the corporate rat race is really detrimental to my handicap so I'm going to file for disability and continue to participate in society with my arts and letters. It's not quite UBI but it's close enough for my purposes. I grew up in a wealthy household - again, came up poor and seem obsessed with "investments" and "security" instead of enjoying the food and experiences those monies can buy - so I'm over it.

Yes it's nice to have nice things. I have some maintenance expenses I understand but can be flexible about in the short and long term. Strings, new music, alcohol and cannabis, it's all pretty low-key and low rent. The only thing I really need as a basecamp is electricity, air conditioning, indoor plumbing, food access and storage and cooking, and connection with the outside world by way of phone, car, or internet. That's all. Everything else is basically static and for whatever reason, it's getting more expensive.

"The only way to win is not to play" holds pretty true to me when it comes to US financial system and navigating the aspects of "real" property and life versus synthetic engineering for the sake of jargon.

It's fairly similar in Japan.

Japanese doctors are super adverse to prescribing anything, even painkillers after some type of accident, it's rare they will give you anything, even if your leg is broken.

When I was there I didn't mind it personally, but it's hard to get good drugs if you do require them.
An 8 bit adder is too small and allows such 'hack'. He should try training a 32 or 64 bit adder, decrease the weights accuracy to bfloat16, introduce dropout regularization (or other kind of noise) to get more 'interesting' results.

Addendum: another interesting variation to try is a small transformer network, and feeding the bits sequentially as symbols. This kind of architecture could compute bignum-sized integers.

There's overlap between CalyxOS and LineageOS. CalyxOS (privacy-focused ROM, currently Fairphone and Pixel-only) has different goals to LineageOS (Android ROMs for as many phones as possible); while GrapheneOS is a security-focused distribution. DivestOS is another credible alternative.

Politics plays a huge role in decision making, and in my experience, when it comes to UI/UX, politics accounts for 80% or more of choices.

I'm sure they do the research, and look at feedback. I just don't think it has any bearing on decision making.

There is no evidence GitHub has any multi-party accountability for sysadmins or enclaves for secret management. You enter secrets into the GitHub Web UI in plaintext, which means at least some employees can access them in plaintext.

GitHub/NPM have historically failed to support supply chain integrity practices in their public offerings such as hardware anchored code signing, signed code reviews, reproducible builds, multi-party approvals, etc. It is reasonable to expect they are not doing any of that internally either.

Assume any secret you give GitHub will become public knowledge and act accordingly.

The good news is there is never a reason to trust a VCS or CI system with high value secrets. They should never ever need any power beyond running tests, accessing a test environment, or sending notifications.

- A strong design system such as TailwindCSS is a must

Boolean flag is also a design that doesn't scale to multiple decisions. You should get used to designing things in a way that separates those concerns. Why does page A need functionality in this manner and page B needs a slightly different one? It's because they do similar things, but there's a difference there somewhere.

Instead of copy pasting from page A and changing it, you should have a function that does the same things from page A and B, and then combining that partial result into the different pages in the way that you want. The function that does the same task for the pages can then be fixed for both pages if it has a bug in it.

If you copy/paste then inevitably the person working on it will forget to find and fix one of the versions.

But even if you end up spending a little more time to prevent code duplication than just copy/pasting, it STILL yields benefits in the lower maintenance cost since people will spend less time reading and understanding the code. Your codebase will have fewer lines of actual code, which is a win by itself, which you can quantify.

You won't be able to measure the time each person will waste re-reading identical code to make sure it's actually identical (or worse, trying to see WHY it's not identical), but it's always a cost if you're working with this code. The only reason not to touch it if it's already perfect and won't be changed. But usually I will start on this refactor when I do have a requirement (it already has a bug, or I need to change functionality)
