AIUI VisionFive 1 had no GPU. Just a framebuffer.

>When the driver is FOSS they could release new boards.

The driver is FOSS. OP used mesa3d to get acceleration. What it isn't is finished and rock solid. It is very hard to get to that point w/o hardware availability. This is why VisionFive 2 exists.

Making a chip on a competitive node has a lot of cost upfront. To make it viable, they'd have to sell long millions of them. The approach here has been to design a chip that can be put almost everywhere; This is a very low power design, with great performance vs watt, error correction and extremely useful set of peripherals, all of it in a chip designed to function in an industrial range of temperature, while at room temperature even without a heatsink it won't get anywhere near its maximum, by like 60C.

The VisionFive 2 SBC is the "development board" for this chip. Its purpose is to accelerate upstream support for this SoC.

Of course, as it is the very first such board at <$100, the fastest to date and the first one to ship in the tens of thousands, which is more than the aggregate of every previous RISC-V development board shipped, it also means accelerating the RISC-V ecosystem as a whole, so everybody wins.
Is that site itself reputable?

No idea, but it does seem to defang some javascript whilst keeping a javascript-only site readable.

I’ve gotten a weird impression from it the few times I’ve gone to it.

Same. They do an incredible job of turning sites meant to be only viewed by the browser into a static site. I've only run across a couple of sites that manage to block them. There is probably an interesting story behind that. The nice thing is that I can keep all javascript neutering addons in place when using them. But maybe they do some IP correlation. No idea really.
you should add a short video with what this does
It's written "one of which," not "all of which."
Youtube has very good lectures on statistics + programming. If you spend many hours on these, does it count as addiction?

I really doubt.
I choose not to focus on the differences between Bayesian statistics and machine learning. I choose to integrate the best parts of both.

If you are curious, the book "Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction" by Kevin Murphy goes into greater detail.

That's true, but you can refill them if necessary, and you should store them uncompacted (compact for travel).

IME this isn't true of everyone. And for some the difficulty and sacrifice may be very abstract. Then when faced with the concrete reality some find they cannot stomach it.
GPT itself is in no way comparable to a person in terms of understanding. It makes no effort to determine the meaning of prompts or its training data.

Instead, we are comparing the understanding of a person (who takes the SAT and scores something) against the logical soundness of a set of expressions written by other people (the training data), all weighted by GPT's ability to semantically transform those expressions into new expressions (answers).
you have to spray because

1) you still have to use actual soil and thats full of bugs and organisms already

2) if you aren't fertilizing you won't get anywhere near the yield farmers do and you won't be competitive on cost.

Harvesting will still require the use of whatever harvesting technology there is. If we can't competitively build grain harvesters with electricity outdoors its unlikely that you'll be able to do the same indoors. You'll notice no pictures or description of how they harvest - they aren't doing it by hand and they don't say its by electricity, and even if it is do you think the sun provides more energy for free over the life of the crop vs the one time its harvested?.

This doesn't seem very interesting as it stands now.
Siloing the concepts seems like a bad idea. Let's say someone has bad life circumstances, bad reinforcing patterns of behavior, plus a chemical imbalance in their brain. If they seek medical help for "depression", should treatment focus on the chemical imbalance? It could be that chemical imbalance is entirely due to their life circumstances, and addressing those would be much more appropriate than medicating them.
Looks interesting! Does anyone know a practical application where something like this would help?
> It's not one thing that cause the drop but a combination of things

Let me propose a bold generalization based on observations of sites of all sizes wrestling with Google over the last 20 years, and to which there are certainly exceptions (this case may be one):

It’s always one thing.

Of course, there are always a multitude of improvements that can be made to nibble around the edges and get incremental improvements in various metrics. And a gradual change in traffic may have several simultaneous sources.

But when the effect is an identifiable precipitous drop in search traffic, almost all the time, it turns out there was a single reason, whether a change Google made or a change the site made.

This may be a totally unhelpful observation, and feel free to ignore it. But in these situations I’ve come to find it’s more fruitful to look for A Cause than to approach it as “a little here, a little there.”
It is common for a network to output the distribution, so the output is both the mean and variance instead of just the mean like you pointed out. For example check out variational autoencoders.
For my own "fast" projects[1] I've taken to providing benchmarks, but adding a big 'ol caveat at the top describing ways in which the benchmark may not reflect reality. Some people really want to see benchmarks! Others are turned off by projects that overreach on performance claims. I'm hopeful that adding context around benchmarks to tamper excitement strikes the right balance.

It seems before, Apple was trying to gain a monopoly. Now that it has enough users, it turns to tracking.

However, this is a speculation, so please take it as a grain of salt.
Something just feels so cynical about the presentation here. I understand everything your saying, and probably believe everything here is factual as far as general predictions can be, but reading “this is doge 2.0”, “supply memes, sell merch”, and “if this is still relevant like doge, […] [consumers] will continue to buy it” just annoys me on some visceral level. Saying the quiet part out loud.

it's like "can find meaning of life" but "must already know 6*7"
Love this article for how precise its description of the suffering is. I am of the people mentioned who disappear, and now trying to slowly find my way back in, but without burning out.

One strategy that ought to be mentioned is “scratch the itch”. I.e write your projects in a way that works for you, but clearly has itches to be fixed (e.g. small list of texture formats in a graphics engine). That way it’s clear for the user that a PR is needed, and it could result in a group of contributors early on (until the itch becomes rare).

In other words, owners often fall into a trap by making their projects almost perfect, but not quite. Users complain when they see such state of things. Owners should be more egotistical to their needs.
I acknowledge that might be how you feel, but that’s not my case.

I don’t even consider subscriptions I can’t afford, and that doesn’t bother me. I can afford many things and many more I can’t, it’s fine.

But it really bothers me that now i have one more think to look after, no matter how small, each month.

Also, many services will bill on different days of the month so potentially you could have a different thing bother you each day.
I have become what I hate most. Someone who didn't read the article. I've heard too many instances of the term being misapplied and jumped to a conclusion based on the discussion.

If you use Bing webmaster tools (a logged-in account for the use of the domain owner/content creator) and you can see indications that Bing indexed the content and no indications that errors preventing it from being eligible to show then it is certainly at least closer to a shadow ban than I originally thought.

Still, any reference to a "feed" entirely misses the point unless Bing is the one also serving that feed. I can't see any evidence that Bing displays a feed to the poster.
That makes no sense to me. Or maybe your definition of "understand" is completely unrelated to mine.

Under your thesis one cannot "understand" anything physical (as in physics, chemistry, etc) as the underlying cannot be "proven", at all, by definition.
Is this different from a staging environment?
Here's my explanation: think of linear regression. Now ask yourself, what if I applied the idea of correlation/regression to a sine wave. An (audio) signal can be broken down into an addition of sine waves having different frequencies and phases. That, conceptually, is what we're trying to do with the Fourier Transform. What frequencies is the sound wave composed of, and of what amplitude. Phase angle is a consideration, but we are less interested in that.

OK, that's a paragraph instead of a sentence, but it does motivate the whole raison d'etre of "why would I care anyway?"
Layoffs could just be 6+ months out. While management is often short-sighted, I don't think we can just dismiss this possiblity.
Perhaps you’ve read Coase’s Theory of the Firm? He basically argues this point, that there is a “sweet spot” for company size.
> It’s sad that we live in a world where politicians just blatantly lie about their campaign promises and we all accept it as normal and award them with high approval ratings.

Though, part of that problem is that we also live in a world where the electorate also makes unrealistic demands on politicians, and will punish them if they don't get the promises they demand. I think that's especially true in primaries when it's mainly activists that can really push for promises that are not especially popular.

Which isn't to let anyone off the hook, just to note it's one of those difficult problems that's composed of interlocking problems that reinforce each other.
Interesting point!

Mentally I'm sorta conflating the late-80s and early-90s video game commercials, but there was definitely a period where Nintendo was attempting some rebranding a-la the Mario Brothers Super Show and the Zelda cartoon.
This is why it may be tough for startups without in-house ML expertise, proprietary weights, and the resources to continually train them to retain a moat. Innovations on the base layer seem to eat light packaging layers for breakfast. I knew a guy who got early access to the GPT-3 beta a few years ago and made a site where you could upload apartment leases and get an explanation. Now with chatGPT you can just ask it for what you want it to do. Of course, both this guy's GPT-3 wrapper app, and chatGPT both give inaccurate but dangerously plausible sounding answers, but that's a different problem.
in their case, being compromised means getting killed.

In fact there have recently been articles about this and each side ordering their troops to stop using their cell phones. Both sides have attributed several mass casualties to cell phones. This is probably harder to enforce with conscripts and military contractors. Many of the first wave of troops thought they were just going on a training exercise.

That's really clever. This is a company issued Macbook (macOS is a requirement not a choice btw) but I'm guessing there will be something similar that you could do.

This puts you into a grey area though no? You could make a case this is willingly trying to circumvent security protocols which could be grounds for being fired.
What @Irvick is talking about is the fact that you have more freedom to test the security in an Android than in iOS, such as being able to flash other systems.
Congress would have to change the law. That would be hard enough by itself, but with the new House of Representatives I doubt anything will be accomplished for the next couple years.

Linking to a site that infringes copyrights may make the linker liable on the grounds that they are committing contributory copyright infringement. It's cheaper for search engines to delist sites than fight that battle--particularly if their corporate masters also rely on licensing media for distribution themselves.
Correct. These kinds of spam typosquatted packages are a feature of life on public packaging indexes, especially ones that have flat namespaces.

It’s not ideal, but it’s very far from a reasonable use of “0day” or an attack on an actual supply chain.

Honestly, while there are some difference, the reduced integration overhead of using the offering from either your main cloud platform or your source code host probably wins.
I’m a big proponent of constraints in one’s living situations. I had the pleasure to know my Great Grand Mother up to my early twenties. She was greatly effected by the Great Depression.

For me the dot-com bust of 2000 in CA started a period of underemployment. And at the beginning I was adamant about so many of my expenses (I can’t possibly go without X..). Buy the time I did get back on my feet financially, there was little of anything that I felt I couldn’t live without or find a way to compensate.

The biggest benefit, IMHO, of experimentation like the OP suggests (for those of us who are not professors) is learning this lesson in life.

I find them excellent if you’ve learned the technical details already in a book or by yourself. Blog posts often are high level and can give alternative perspectives on the same problem.

They’re also excellent to motivate a problem so the reader can find the technical details elsewhere.

The rule says “business attire” for both men and women. For men, it specifically requires a “coat” but the previous rule did not require a coat for women. In this country the term “business attire” requires covered arms for men, but it can be more nebulous for women. The new rule clarifies that women must wear a jacket or cardigan: https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article2...

You’re correct that the gender of the bear arms shouldn’t matter, and the Missouri rule applies the same standard to both men and women. You’re assuming the standard is different because NPR wrote a clickbait article that made you jump to that conclusion.
There was this instance which was a bit sneakier, by taking a package name in a default repository which shadowed a name in a more specialised repository: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34313208
The way colleges/universities work in the US is so odd to me. There’s so many contradictions:

- You pay for a service where the amount you pay far outweighs the value of the service, by orders of magnitude. This is allowed because the amount is often obscured and deferred from the customer. The student is allowed to make this choice because they’re an “adult” and it serves the interests of the school.

- Then, instead of getting treated like the adult you are legally, you get infantilized. Like the idea of paying above what market rent would be to live in a “dorm” and have an RA conduct room checks to make sure you’re following arbitrary rules. Classes you pay obscene money for require attendance like you’re a child. Forced meal plans, etc… Schools banning the consumption of alcohol entirely.

And then they do stuff like this. It sounds like they’re just blocking it from their network, which is their choice. But based on the way these schools behave it wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to enact an actual ban on having the app installed on your phone. They seem to think they have the authority to dictate how people live their lives to an uncomfortable degree.
The variational autoencoder is a Bayesian model. See [0] for instance.

And yet, people don't tend to do that because they fear being stack-ranked by their number of days off.

I mean don't get me wrong, if my employer were to go unlimited PTO, I would absolutely use it to the max I could (perhaps take Fridays off in addition to a month long vacation each year), but I'm also sure that I would get fired for it.
> SpaceX is arguably the only thing he’s done himself that is successful

Not even that. Musk’s initial plan for SpaceX was to buy a couple of Dnepr rockets, so he went to Russia in 2001 with Jim Cantrell, Adeo Ressi, and Mike Griffin.

The trip was a failure. But Griffin, who was running In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s investment arm, and had attempted something similar around private launches when running Orbital Sciences in the 1990s, convinced Musk to build his own rockets.

It was a time when a number of space engineering projects were winding down and lots of talented people becoming available. Griffin knew this better than Musk would have and introduced him to the right people and companies.

SpaceX still moved fairly slowly after that, without any launch attempts until Griffin, then the newly appointed NASA Administrator, created the COTS programme and awarded a $400 million contract to SpaceX despite it being unproven.

In 2008, when SpaceX was near bankruptcy, NASA under Griffin again awarded it a huge $1.6 billion dollar contract that both saved it and provided the needed funding for further rocket designs and bets like reusability.

Musk has done a lot with SpaceX, and deserves some credit, but the general view about it being all him and all self funded is inaccurate.
I think this is the most interesting question as well. There’s got to be a reason the author has to first “build the team” and tell the model to pretend. Maybe specifying these highly skilled “team members” tells the model to weight more heavily the training data that’s more academic in nature (and thus more “correct”). It all comes back to the training corpus..
Is this legal? Is there no trade union negotiation either?
It's actually not known if pi contains every combination of digits (in any base 2 or greater) or not. It feels likely but really all we know is it's transcendental and seems pretty random from the parts we've generated.

The library of babel could be a good "useless" backing though https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?hnexample
Better, sure. A lot better? Definitely not.

The bug bounty is pretty hard to actually get access to, there’s still no source outside of the kernel, and the Security Research Devices are really hard to get access to. You have to be someone they’ve heard of, in a country they approve of, you can’t move the device around, and you have to sign your life away to get it for 12* months.
Yeah, but it's not just about TVs. If cellular devices become small, cheap and ubiquitous enough, I'm fully expecting these vile corporations to start inserting them in all electronics. If there's not a large enough outrage, we can expect all devices to eventually be phoning home.

A Faraday cage home seems like it would be simple enough to build and fully proof you from such idiocy forever.
Your site's performance, reflected on its page speed insight score, is showing 45. This is unacceptable for a blog; it should be close to 100 for text-based pages like you have. Does the site contain scripts, deep dependency trees, or analytics?

Could this have changed during the performance drop?
Lol did you mean to past that last one on your twitter? I think you might need some content filtering.
One of the best explanations of monads I saw was actually using Python.
Machine learning is more broad than Bayesian statistics. More Bayesian statistics methods can be also be called machine learning, but less so the other way around.
Thanks for explaining. FWIW, I don't think your last sentence is a fair assessment of what happened at all. Pointing out major deficiencies in a paper is not the same thing as saying it's "sufficiently outside the realm of valid academic discourse", and, having closely followed the news when this all went down, it's clear that it's what happened in the aftermath of this paper that led to the terminations - it's not like Google said "this paper is so bad, you're fired".
I'm no Forth expert, yet I know which type of company is more likely to use Forth, and also who to try to talk to in the community. For a niche language which is not taught in schools, it is unavoidable to getting to know the community because it provides part of the material you need to teach yourself the paradigm; at some point you know better places to ask this question than HN.
I think it's one of those things you just have to understand through practice.

I think you're confusing understanding with intuition. Which is fair; I'd say understanding builds to intuition as it's accessed more. The line is blurry at points.

I think Apple will have to allow different stores in Europe soon. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
I think too for max it's the purest type of _competition_. In real racing, there are all kinds of factors that make the cars different and each lap different. All these changes for the driver ultimately boil down to how do I get the most grip from the tires and how do I know how my grip will change.

In the real world the number of factors and variance between cars makes it kind of a personal thing I think. This might explain why Schumacher and Clark both didn't understand why everyone else couldn't go as fast as them.

In Simracing, a lot of things are simulated, but not enough to struggle to wrap your head around eventually. All the parts on all the cars are the exact same and environmental/tire changes are more simple too. It's also much more accessible than driving an open wheel race car competitively.

I think this means driving at the top of sim racing is VERY competitive in terms of errors and % gains. Team money is removed as a 'mark' against your talent too.
My suggestion wasn't meant to be a perfect, all encompassing litmus test. It's one idea to prepare oneself before a major, life altering decision.

Would be parents need to be well informed of what responsibilities and risks they take on before they're parents.

Many don't have a concrete understanding of how difficult it can be, even for a day. And hearing only from parents who have had a lot of positive experiences and help may encourage an unrealistic outlook.
