Of course there is. "AI" controlled hardware doesn't care about getting out alive. A human is more likely to have an itchy trigger finger because a mistake means death.
I'm always happy to see F# get a mention, but using it inside Excel seems funny when you could just use it against a raw CSV file or whatever for data analysis/data manipulation.
It appears that Google's long-standing dominance in search has not translated into meaningful innovation in recent years. Despite occasional hardware launches that imitate Apple and multiple failed attempts to launch a messaging platform, there has been a conspicuous lack of successful projects.

Furthermore, Google's ongoing incorporation of ads into Google Maps and declining search quality may be turning search into a wasteland of SEO. This may be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, prompting discussion about whether a leadership change is needed.
They're trying to extract the maximum amount of concessions by playing in the middle.
STH has been around for 14 years and so we have tested these big servers from the P100 days (see our DeepLearning12 build) and newer. Home was the /home/ directory in Linux.

We do have some content for homes. Check out our TinyMiniMicro series as an example.
Hmmm. Yeah, now I'm starting to believe it too - I hope it does beat them.

No.

I just watched the HBO Chernobyl miniseries (excellent, btw) and the parallels to the initial lack of action to a huge public health threat is chilling. If there is a carcinogen in the air, get people out of there!
Anecdotally, hiring Haskell developers seems far easier than you’d expect. There are a lot more people out there who want to use Haskell than there are Haskell jobs. Having some training is good- you don’t want to lose out on talented people because they haven’t used Haskell before, but it’s not like everything you know goes out the window when you learn Haskell either. With some help most people should be pretty proficient in a couple of months, and you can have people learn the language in parallel with learning the codebase and business domain, so you aren’t really losing that much time in practice.
SMBC had a comic about this. A scientist says "we just don't know". They mean "There are several reasonable competing theories but we haven't the data to know which is true."

For training, yeah. But at least in some cases, inference can be optimized to use less memory.

For their large Whisper model, OpenAI says they need 10GB of VRAM: https://github.com/openai/whisper#available-models-and-langu...

My DirectCompute port of that uses slightly over 4GB of VRAM, see the last column in that table: https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper/blob/master/SampleClips/... I haven’t actually optimized memory usage I only did the DirectCompute port, the memory savings were achieved by Georgi Gerganov in whisper.cpp project, which I ported to Windows.

Do you think that the person you replied to was condemning the US for casualties to US soldiers, or casualties that US soldiers caused?

Also, it's not really thoughtful to compare 3000 years of Chinese history to the history of the US since 1898 (the US's first modern imperial war, against the Philippine population.)

Obviously it isn't aliens and the rest of this is just fun, but:

Our Galaxy formed 13,000 million years ago. We estimate any single technological civilization that developed the technology to build Bracewell/von Neumann probes during this time (perhaps minus a few billion years) could have colonized every star system in the galaxy with self-replicating tech in at most a few million years. Presumably if the probes were self-replicating they could also be self-maintaining and therefore a single colonization could effectively produce a permanent technological presence within a given star system. We can't know what a civilization would do with such a network, but we can guess that human beings would program it to investigate life and technological civilizations.

So the "could there be alien technology in our solar system" question breaks down to a series of technical questions around the feasibility and probabilities of the above events. I personally still think those probabilities are low enough that we can round them to zero, but the spec-fi fan in me very much hopes that they're not.

Also: for god's sake, these are Chinese balloons and not aliens. :)
There are many cars on the road today that are 15 to 20 years old. There are some cars on the road older than that. Things do get more complicated with recent cars, which have more specialized computing, but you'll be able to burn repurposed dinosaurs for a very long time, regardless of restrictions on new sales.
Strictly speaking, dependent types cannot really perform arbitrary computation (as usually implemented) because general recursion is restricted. And most real-world programs, especially systems programs, need general recursion. So, for all the supposed generality of dependent types, you end up with two quite separate feature sets for compile-time and run-time execution that can only share a comparatively trivial common subset.
It certainly feels different, for me the biggest blocker to adapt it more is trust. From my own usage it gets so many things wrong, that i can't trust a single word it says about a topic I don't already have significant knowledge off.

Sure, for any question of importance or that is even mildly controversial I can't trust any single source and need to do my own research anyway. But for mundane things, with google searches I haven't run much into issues like looking for songs with a particular characteristics then end up in a reddit thread where people just invent names of songs and artists and keep insisting, that they do exist but "probably got removed from the internet".

I only agree inasfar as the Christian religion goes. There's nothing fundamentally preventing religions from claiming that humans aren't the only ones (scientology anyone?). There's nothing fundamentally requiring non-religious people to claim that there are others.

You're presenting a logical fallacy. Attack the argument, not the individual making it.
i'm responding to op's callous and partisan take.

also the comment originally read "What does it have to do with the crash", which was immediately edited to "How do you know Biden forcing them back to work has anything to do with the crash?"

i will respond to the last one i saw: i don't. i'm pointing out that the wikipedia article about the 2022 union strike makes an argument that the strike was explicitly about safety. here's a vice article that goes into awful and terrifying details <https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkp9m8/what-choice-do-i-have...>. biden's forced solution did not address the original safety concerns beyond "1 day of sick leave".

It's a fabricated propaganda point.

> The fighting continued, the civilians were dying, children as well as adults. OSCE statistics (2017-2020) showed that the number of civilian deaths in the occupied territories was almost twice as high as in the unoccupied territories. Another independent report from the International Crisis Group gives the following explanation: “The higher civilian casualty rate in non-government-controlled areas is due to the fact that these places are more urban and populous[…] Together, the numbers suggest that neither side is trying to hit civilians but also that combatants are not doing all they can to avoid collateral damage.”

> The death of the children should be addressed separately. “Why were you silent for eight years while children were killed in Donbas?” sounds as if Ukrainian army is shelling children. But OSCE suggest other causes of death: 87% of boys died because of being careless with explosives. In this context, the International Crisis Group also recalls Russian propaganda, for example, when “they announced that a Ukrainian drone strike had killed a five-year-old boy in a Donetsk suburb. In fact, the boy had died some 15km from the front, out of the Ukrainian drones’ range, possibly by setting off an unexploded shell he found in his yard.”

> According to the OSCE, mines and other unexploded armaments are the second most common cause of civilian casualties in Donbas after shelling with heavy weapons. The international crisis group criticizes Russian militants in this context: “Meanwhile, de facto officials tend to be unwilling to admit that shooting from positions in areas like the Donetsk suburbs can provoke return fire and lead to civilian deaths. They have baulked at suggestions that they move their troops to keep locals out of the line of fire.” The shelling from residential areas of the occupied territories was also reported by Bellingcat. On the other hand, the International Crisis Group blames Ukraine as well: “Public figures in government-controlled Ukraine sometimes overlook or minimise the problem of civilian casualties from live fire. Losses among civilians frequently do not make it into Ukrainian news reports, partly due to journalists’ lack of access to reliable sources in areas across the line; media tends to focus on the heroism of government troops.” It is possibly the only argument in favor of “eight years of silence” claim.

https://rpr.org.ua/en/news/eight-years-deconstructing-the-mo...

If you look at the casualty figures, the civilian deaths have been around two dozen per year for the last few years; half of those have been from mines and such. About half the remainder have been from active hostilities, e.g. shelling. Russia didn't start this war over six civilians a year dying from shelling in Donbas.
What I fear are hypersonic weapons and other fast delivery systems that will require AI offensive and counter offensive weapons. At what point will humans need to be removed from the loop because a human response will mean that we would be destroyed. What happens when you have superpowers that have AI stats constantly checking on when the optimal nuke or emp time is, or even worse, faulty info or hacked info that tells it when are under attack and issues a counter offensive. Or it interprets human intent incorrectly.

Sometimes though if you track the problem all the way to layer 8, the origin of the problem has "resolved itself" i.e. left the organization, fired, retired, died, etc. Then you can solve the issue with no pushback.
The ability to criticize the president is not what's important here, and in fact a focus on that as being some sort of golden metric is also another hurdle in properly understanding China. This is part of the typical "dictatorship-vs-democracy" dichotomy thought that I'm criticizing for not being a good fit for China.

Concretely: yes in China there is censorship, and yes you can't just criticize the president. However, you can criticize policy. Not only can you, people do: as I've said before, there are 15000 protests in China every year, and often times the government gives in to protesters. The 0-covid protests resulting in lifting of 0-covid measures being a big recent one.

In contrast, in many western countries you certainly have the freedom to complain about more things, but your ability to get policy changes is almost non-existant. Not so in China: policy changes happen all the time as a result of protests, even if there are topics that are more taboo than in the west.

Material vs non-material freedom is also not the point (even though it's somewhat relevant). There are classes of immaterial freedom in China that the west doesn't even recognize as freedom. For example, the sheer safety in China grants one a huge amount of freedom of movement. A female Australian acquaintance once told me that she thought that political freedom and freedom of speech are the most important things. But once she visited China and experienced how safe the streets were, and how she could walk around during the night without escort, she realized that she valued freedom of movement much more.

To understand China one must move away from the dichotomy. China should be understood using entirely separate paradigms, on its own terms, not the terms that the west (in its relation/history with the Soviet Union) tries to project on China.

I think if you're a fan of sci-fi, it can be easy to miss the damage that this belief actually has on our culture. It's not borne out of a love of the unknown or speculation of the universe around us, it seems to be borne instead out of a distrust for authority, belief in conspiracy that helps explain chaos, and an anti-science, anti-democratic view of world events and history that tends to lean into other conspiracies, leading up to Qanon.

Personally, I love sci-fi and aliens, but I dont think that aliens are real, visiting beings among us and anyone who does seems likely to also think that vaccines are ineffective, global warming is fake, the earth is flat, and the moon landing was fake.
Red-Hat for example.
Sometimes I think that's the case, and sometimes I think the wrong crowd is rapidly becoming the only crowd.

It's legitimately everywhere. The spread of baseless conspiracy theories, belief in magic and the occult, flat earthers, etc. has measurably gotten worse, I want to recall a few HN articles about the topic.

It would take a lot more calls to random.randint(0, 1) than that for me to think something was wrong. Especially since we're actually talking about values that rarely go outside 0.4 and 0.6.
Sure, our past experience will inform our priors. But if we stubbornly refuse to even consider the possibility that anomalous observations could have anomalous causes, we won't make progress in our understanding. That attitude is dogmatic and anti-scientific.

Do I believe aliens are visiting Earth? Frankly, I do not. But I can't dismiss it outright either, because we don't know what we don't know.

It will be interesting to see how the next few years play out in the EV space. Tesla suddenly has actual competition that is very good. Arguably better, aside from that nagging little detail -- the charger network. Tesla needs to keep throwing money at the Supercharger network and do whatever they can to keep it exclusive. Anything that puts the competition on an equal playing field for fast charging would be devastating to Tesla's market share.
Because people don't trust the government and the companies on stuff like this. "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!", isn't exactly what people want to hear years after many of these sorts of accidents.

from what I read... GPT-J at 6B params is too big to load on any consumer GPU (needs ~25GB)

and then GPT-3 is 175B params or ~29x larger, so maybe needing 7-800GB RAM

8x 80GB A100s would give 640GB RAM, so its approx the right ballpark

Modi is relatively popular among Indian Americans. Less popular than people in India, but more popular than you’d expect given Indian Americans’ voting patterns: https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/02/09/how-do-indian-ameri...

> The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the most popular political party among Indian Americans. One-third of respondents favor the ruling BJP while just 12 percent identify with the Congress Party

> Indian Americans hold broadly favorable views of Modi. Nearly half of all Indian Americans approve of Modi’s performance as prime minister

This goes to a central contradiction which I’ve observed among Americans originally from the subcontinent: “liberalism for thee but not for me.”
Thank you, time I had my eyes tested.
I don't think that this approach is that good. First of all, you need to write a custom "interface" file. Then, you need to integrate running of swig into your build process, which makes the build complicated.

With sol, it's much easier - you just register function/classes in your C++ code - it's much easier to do than with Lua C API and doesn't require running any "post-processing" steps at all.
