> A job isn't just a financial transaction. It's part of a person's identity and a social outlet.

It doesn’t have to be. For hundreds of years in a large part of the world, a job for most people was whatever the local lord told you to do. Before and during that, it was whatever you were born into. History does noy dictate the present or the future.
Also, they can not grow by 400%. There are rules in place that limit the budget and the maximum change per budget chapter that can be executed at once. These rules are made and by member countries.

BTW, EU budget was available in XML format for a while. Easy to parse. The first years they did not publish it, a FOI request would get you an electronic copy rather quickly.

IIRC, there was little interest in the machine-readable budget because the published version does not go too far into the details of budget lines and one has to have specialized knowledge to read it.

Still, one could make some interesting conclusions, e.g. that the Ombudsman had much higher HR budget per head that the rest of the pack, the Commission included.

This created internal tensions, but no substantial change in the follow-up.

It's a pity there is so little interest in EU Budget that they can just stop publishing machine-readable copy and get away with it.
> except that there are extremely severe legal consequences if any evidence turns up

This is a bit of a sidebar, but what consequences? DUI, sure. But in Germany, where consumption (but nothing else, including possession; IANAL, not sure if someone holding a joint to your face to drag on counts as possession) of weed is legal I know of no direct consequences you’d face for having consumed marijuana.

So basically finally connection between experts systems, natural language and reasoning, add usage of python and boom. I would also throw Tsetlin machine into the mix somehow so we could interpret stuff.

Hi HN, my name is Michele Zanotti and I’ve just released an open-source called nos https://github.com/nebuly-ai/nos that enables to finally make GPU partitioning dynamic on Kubernetes! (and much more) You can think of the Dynamic GPU Partitioning as a cluster autoscaler for GPUs. Instead of scaling up the number of nodes and GPUs, it dynamically partitions them into smaller “GPU slices”. This ensures that each workload only uses the GPU resources it actually needs, resulting in spare GPU capacity that could be used for other workloads. To partition GPUs, nos leverages Nvidia MIG, as well as the less known MPS, finally making them dynamic.
On Towards Data Science you can find a tutorial on how to use the Dynamic GPU Partitioning https://towardsdatascience.com/dynamic-mig-partitioning-in-k...

I also wrote a review of the pros and cons of different technologies for sharing resources among workloads in Kubernetes: time-slicing, MIG, and MPS https://docs.nebuly.com/nos/dynamic-gpu-partitioning/partiti...

In addition, this open source also has other components to increase GPU utilization even more. It’s called Elastic Resource Quota management: it allows to increase the number of Pods running on the cluster by allowing teams (namespaces) to borrow quotas of reserved resources from other teams as long as they are not using them. It’s better described in nos documentation https://docs.nebuly.com/nos/overview/

Let me know your thoughts on the project!
Imagine if some aboriginals found it and tried to make jewellery out of it. Probably not unlikely, seeing that it's a heavy metal object that can be drilled so that you can attach a necklace. The wearer would be in deep trouble.
> Notice how I used an example that’s not remotely related to installing and using application?

GPs point was that users are trained by having to run random executables in order to install anything. That they are now conditioned into casually running other programs that are not installers is the result.

> I highly doubt that having a built in package manager starting in Windows 98 would have in any way shape or form affected how people interact with email attachments. They’re two completely different tasks and nothing about package management would really carry over. People are still going to want to read that super important attachment without a second thought even if they can install a package using Apt.

This is an argument for making opening something and running something distinct actions in GUI programs (including your mail reader, browser downloads and file explorer) so that a user trying to open something does not execute it by accident, not for the current AV industry. It just so happens that that's how things work in many Linux desktop environments.

> In fact, macOS has pretty much the exact same protections in the form of Gatekeeper, so it’s clearly not a Windows-only thing.

Apple, like Microsoft, also profits from making developers codesign their applications. They also both want to profit even more by making developers sell their applications through the OS app store where they can take a cut. Both of them engaging in this "security" bs is hardly an argument that they are doing it to protect their users.
But the EU is not a government. It only does funding, almost nothing else. They are all administrators, members of committees, managers of members of committees and so on and forth. The EU won't put out the fire in your house or send you a doctor. What's the purpose of comparing it to sweden?

It is a different kind of organization, and there is no mechanism for EU citizens to assign blame to the EU politicians. Practical example: the EU handling of vaccines, with the EU leader still refusing to make public their messaging with Pfizer.

The 60000 people of the EU manages a 1 trillion budget. The budget for the 60000 people is 11 Billion/year. That's average spending 183333/person per year

Says nothing relevant to me about software repository legal implications, and free software in general.

Says lots of other things about why it's a bad draft law.
Somewhat ironically, this article isn't helpful because it oversimplifies a complex topic. Many factors contribute to "good writing" and they can't be distilled to "ordinary words and simple sentences". For example, Graham talks about simple sentences but has nothing to say about sentence cohesion, which has a far greater impact on prose quality.
It is almost as if certain tools have certain use cases.
And tgat an organization as large as the US military
might what to have those tools for all the use cases
they might run into.

As large as the military's budget is, it's not unlimited. Money spent on one thing is money they don't have for another thing.

So people who point out the A-10's weaknesses aren't saying the A-10 has literally no value at all, because it clearly does. They're questioning the cost vs. the alternatives.

Benefit of the A-10? Lower speed, longer loitering in CAS,
something quite valuable in combined arms. And faster than
attack helicopters, so A-10s can move faster between mission sites.

Yes, the A-10 has some absolutely unique attributes and strengths. It's just that the viable use cases dwindle by the year as MANPADs get cheaper and cheaper. It's hard to find reliable sources, but you can apparently get them for under $100K. Think about the list of adversaries we might possibly fight who:

1. Are willing to challenge the US military in direct combat

2. Can't scrape together $100K for a rocket launcher

3. Don't have sympathetic allies that will be happy to give them rocket launchers for free in order to harass the US by proxy
Russia has been doing weekly salvos of precision missiles yet we were told they’d run out last Spring. The reality is we don’t know exactly how many they have or are capable of producing but it’s probably a lot.

And those civilian buildings getting hit are often unfortunately the result missile interception (as was the one which hit the farmers in Poland). In fact, Ukraine recently fired a guy for publicly stating this.

Anyways, Chip Wars is a great book. The trends here are definitely interesting.
Yep. But it was told otherwise. Most that a manager should be a salesman. You should always sell the work of your team (to other team, to upper management). Inside my team, I should put more pressure on the underperformers.

For him, it was positive (and putting pressure is a way to make employee perform so they are happy with their own work. Pressure can be done in a good way like "motivation").

For me, selling is mostly lying and putting "good" pressure is hypocrisy. The strange part is that I realized that he was right. People love him. I’m just not a good fit for any hierarchical structure.

Not saying C is a great standard, but that idea means that using C instead of assembly doesn't generate a big overhead, and it's still much easier to write C than assembly, especially when compiler support is very common.

I'm currently making a language that translates directly to C.
You are in a unique position in the history of time where you make A LOT of money for a regular job. My approach would be to look at it as an exit strategy. Work in FAANG until mid-thirties, save as much money as possible. By then, you could be financially free and do whatever you like, start a company, study, or change fields.

By then, you also maybe have a family who will change how you look at the world completely. Also, you would have a good CV which will give you a job anytime you need one.

Yes, it is a safe route, but also one that leads to freedom, which is very powerful.
That’s not what I meant, read the comment again
> Nobody is forcing anyone to go through all the different DE offerings.

That's not quite right. Laptops purchased with Linux will come with a DE chosen by the vendor, and in many cases it is something custom. System 76 puts PopOS on their machines (is it a Gnome? is it something else? the screenshot looks like Gnome; but the name says Cosmic; I don't even know anymore). Tuxedo installs Tuxedo OS, which, I believe, used to be based on Budgie (they've since switched to KDE last time I heard). Anything with preinstalled Ubuntu comes with Gnome. And so on. So yeah, there is an element of forcing customers into a particular DE, unless they are determined enough to just wipe the laptop clean and install a system of their choice.

Thanks for this comment. I would add restricting chat to 17+ people sounds utterly unfeasable considering how its use is widespread by teenagers of all ages.
3 is interesting. Why have you almost given up on a phd? If you are financially OK, and intellectually curious, would seem like you are in an excellent position to do a Phd on your own terms at your own pace, possibly self-funded so not have to jump through so many hoops and instead focus on the subject? Personally, I still harbour some desire to do a Phd, but not sure if I can be bothered 'cos of having kids and other interests, and like my day job too much.

I think the point was that they would move somewhere for work and then look for school in a given radius from work. That may fall into a different city/town than they work or not. But they are not moving to a new city or town because of the school and then looking for work within a radius of that school.

If you're building infrastructure control systems, sure.

But for software that "enable human-to-human communication"?

Do we have engineering standards for printing out pamphlets, teaching foreign languages, inventing board games, writing a song?
Thanks, I was editing my comment as you wrote yours to add that detail. It's an important point.
Ahh I see, that makes the most sense indeed.

Of course China does have significant oil reserves itself which might offset this a bit. But on the other hand they also have significant production capability of lower-grade silicon.

That's not specific to the EU. When it comes to national governments, each ministry/department often has conflicting goals. So, when digital issues are tackled by the Interior Minister, you get this type of law proposal, but when it's handled by the Digital or Justice Minister, it's (generally) a different story.

To be honest, I'm a bit past caring about companies selling my data. They've built up enough of a profile of me in my 30+ years of being online, I'm not getting away from that. There's a multitude of my namesakes online who are much more interesting and successful than me and I'm pretty well hidden generally.

This sounds interesting enough to me that they can have my phone number. In 10 years time I'll be living in a forest in a cabin, living off the land and staying well offline.

It's going to take a bit longer than 10 secobds to safely get close enough to such a strong radiation source as to take a clear picture or read a number.
> * "It only memorizes a very small subset of the images that it trains on."

An interesting question here would be: why does it memorise these images over others? Can the other images still be synthesised with loss via a suitable prompt? If so, are the memorised images important for this? Can this set be reduced further?

Is that true? I can't imagine any country accepting that term.
It's kind of like that. You always have the option of fine-tuning, although that quickly gets pricey if you aren't self hosting (e.g. OpenAI bills an order of magnitude higher for serving fine-tuned models)

The constraints can be put in place through a bunch of different things. The prompt engineering is a big thing, instruction-tuned models can be pretty good at following very restrictive instructions. You do end up sacrificing some creativity in your answers by adding a lot of restrictions but it generally works quite well as a safeguard layer. A lot of the cool LLM applications are, first and foremost, proper prompting.
Setting a low temperature is also key, as the higher likelihood suggestions _generally_ (but not always) are less made-up. ChatGPT makes this a bit harder as you have no control over the model parameters (temperature is OpenAI-set) and cannot control the original prompt, meaning you can't fully be in charge of the instructions it gets, so any mitigation to avoid hallucinations will have its limits.

After that yeah, the context documents you provide are pretty important in grounding it. It ties back in with the prompt, but you can more or less drill it into a low-temperature instruction-fine tuned model that if it can't find the answer within a set of documents you provide it, it should simply not answer. Again, you lose out in some contexts (it's a bad feeling on the user's end to not get an answer) but you also ensure that your model isn't live-freewheeling about a new framework called Reagular...
Their strategy has been to set up their own foundries, which they have. SMIC is a Chinese-owned fab company with sites on the mainland. Because Taiwan is close and shares a language, they have been able to recruit and train staff who know how to operate a fab. SMIC didn't have a good reputation for quality when I last heard (which was ages ago), but that's just a yield/cost issue so I don't think they would have difficulty scaling it up if they are cut off from the west.
Are you saying China does not produce chips? Like, ignore the existence of Espressiv, Loongson, SMIC, 10s other companies?

> Think of it more like two lines of bearing. You are far more likely to get an accurate position from two lines of bearing.

I mean in theory yes, but in practice I've usually found comments in such situations to either be missing, outdated or misleading.

>If you need to understand what past self was thinking, a comment is written in a different mindset than the code.

I don't think I agree with this at all, why would the mindset be different when they were both written at the same time?

Like I said, writing good comments requires just as much if not maybe more self awareness of what you're likely to forget in the future as writing clear code. I think if you're at that level where you can successfully muster that, you should spend your time just making your code clearer.

In reality I think it's even difficult to muster that requisite introspection skill in the moment and it's usually best left until after you solve the problem (let's say, the next day) to go over the code and check how clear it really is.
Start by considering what are your RTO and RPO requirements are. Then design your backup solution to achieve that.

Reddit had fun with this story. One guy was posting daily images of a small metal capsule he'd found, wondering what it was. Everyday the image deteriorated a bit, and he described feeling sicker.

Comments were along the lines of "your passion for collecting is truly radiant".
One of the risks that was believed to exist was that the capsule had fallen onto the road, and could have become embedded in someone's car tire. That would then place the owner of that car within the few tens of meters radius multiple times a day, along with their neighbours, and anyone they park near on a regular basis.
