> Do some people need silence to create? Sure. Bless them.

I would disagree and say your example is pretty much the only one which works this way, because the process and result requires multiple people to be expressive together.

Maybe dance and musical performance might fit the same rough description, but in those the skill required is personal based, and so most of the contributers will be in silence concentrating very hard on their own part and how it fits into the restas opposed to being completely collaborative.

I think you can run Pygmalion 6B on a 8GB GPU using DeepSpeed.

It's very underwhelming if you expect something like ChatGPT though.
>Dems backed it because they didn’t want the optics from a rail strike paralyzing shipping, and the GOP backed it because they’re the GOP and do anything for their pocketbooks.

Yet, most of the nays came from the GOP and in the house most GOP voted against the bill?

People here are commenting on GPGPU (of which AMD consumer GPUs did split architectures with the compute focused GPUs at the arrival of RDNA) but the performance canyon here is squarely do with OptiX, i.e. using the dedicated ray tracing hardware not the general purpose component. AMD's card has very little dedicated RT hardware while Nvidia's cards have comparatively quite a bit and no realistic amount of general purpose FLOPS is going to be relevant in Blender.

You can see evidence of this by looking at the performance in the "No OptiX" chart and seeing the 7900 XTX beats the 3060 Ti there (though maybe not by as much as one might expect).
That's true of a lot of things. People ostensibly go to conferences and the like to learn stuff. In practice, I think a lot of the structure of conferences exists to give people an excuse to attend whereas, I'm going to mostly go hangout with professional peers in some nice city wouldn't.
I love that we're already seeing some professors being intellectually honest about the future of AI. Knowing how to use AI, and knowing its limitations will be a needed skill in years ahead.

The analogy I like is that it's sort of like calculators: they were academically shunned at first, and are now an integral part of learning advanced maths. Sorry, Mrs. Kelly, but we did end up having calculators with us always after all.
Wonder if someone would be willing to start an open source project where we could crowdsource donations for training, and people could possibly donate their GPU usage for it.
Yep. And also there are so many alternatives of dataviz that I struggle to decide which one to use. You learn a few syntax, then come a newer and more beautiful visualization lib and you have to learn all basic syntax again.
Netlify CMS is dead[1] after the core dev left the company, Forestry is also officially dead as of April this year. Netlify CMS got forked into StaticCMS and the team behind Forestry have created TinaCMS. After experimenting with both last week, I recommend the latter if you're building a blog with Astro and want a Git based CMS.

> No, the cost of the Northstream 2 alone was roughly $11 billion. Much of the pipeline could be used, the explosion was only in a small region.

Yes. You are citing the cost of the whole project, with all the infrastructure, pumping equipment, pipelaying ships, etc. The pipe is only one component.

Besides, it doesn't matter if it's "a small region". As soon as the pipe gets full of water, it's basically dead in the water (pun intended). Lookup how these pipes get built. The sections are connected and hermetically sealed above the water, and then lowered so that no water gets in.

You seem to be imagining that pumping out a few countries length of seawater is some kind of an easy task, but it's actually cheaper to disassemble and rebuild the whole thing.

> It was filled, but nothing was delivered into Germany. There was also no permission given to do that.

That's just rhetorics. If you turn off the water tap at your home, that doesn't mean the water is no longer delivered. It's still there, practically at your home. Not sure what "permissions" you are referring to.

> Russia has all the responsibility. They attacked the Ukraine. It's their choice. It has nothing to do with a 'privilege'.

I am not talking about Ukraine. I am talking about weird European attitude like it's some kind of privilege to supply them like everyone around owes them something. If they don't want Russian gas, then that's just businesses.

> Realistically Russia has removed themselves from being someone who we want to trade with for at least a decade. They are not a partner and they are not reliable.
> Russia started a war against not only the Ukraine, but also against the rest of Europe and they used the energy dependency as a weapon.

Well that's just propaganda bullshit.

First of all you've said it yourself that it's a matter of politics. European leaders themselves decided to use the energy in political context and saying that Russia "uses energy as a weapon" when their politics had bitten them in their collective ass is plain stupid.

And secondly it was Europe who decided to engage into economic war with Russia and that was the cause of all the disruptions - that's anything but being "reliable" on their part. Russia merely didn't do anything to appease the stubborn princess who decided to shot herself in the leg. I mean, c'mon, there was a moment when Europe actually expected to receive gas, but not pay for it due to sanctions - how idiotic is that? This exactly the kind of weird attitude I was talking about above.

And given the confessions of former German chancellor, former French president, former and current Ukraine presidents making statements like "prepared for war" is super rich. We all saw how "well prepared" Russia was - both in combat and in the amount of frozen assets.

I just don't get what the European leaders were expecting. Probably fell victims to the same attitude and totally forgot that when you ruin business relations they actually get ruined and no one owes them anything.
What are some good places for 10-20 people to just hang out? Everywhere seems to involve a lot of spending or limited seating.

I was impressed by this announcement. It was accompanied by reports of:

* Teachers bringing in packed lunches for pupils who routinely arrived at school with none

* Pupils pretending to have a packed lunch, because they didn't want to be stigmatized as poor because they got a free school meal

You can't learn if you're hungry. Teachers can't teach if there's even a few hungry pupils in the class; they become disruptive. If everybody's fed, then everybody wins.

The bureaucracy around means-tested benefits is itself costly; in some cases, it costs more than the marginal cost of making the benefit universal. These people are not "scroungers" - they're children under 8. It's common sense.
Tons of industries affected by this, though hospitality comes to mind as being particularly egregious. "resort fees" you can't get out of where they tell you what you're "getting" for those fees, Airbnb service fees, cleaning fees, things that should all be spread across the nightly rate. The feds doing this for airfare was the best thing to happen for consumers shopping for flights.

Ideally we would take it further and include restaurant fees post-covid for fair wages when instead they frankly should just be hiking the cost of food and paying their teams properly. Not sure if this bill affects the service industry specifically but the late tacking-on of mandatory fees is getting egregious.

Edit: I'm staying at an IHG property right now that says I'm getting the following for my $29 amenity fee:

• $15 credit for incidentals

• "premium" wifi

• newspaper access

• tablet from the front desk

• free Lyft within two miles (this is kinda useful if you're too lazy to walk)

• free EV charging

• wine reception

• business center

• gym

• free calls within CONUS

I used none of these and yet they won't refund the fee.

This is a very strange comment.

Personally... I absolutely understand exactly how they ended up in this situation. There are actually several good reasons to embed the browser into the OS, the top two easily understood ones are...

---

1. They've put a lot of work into the browser, and they've shared many components of it with other tooling. EX: Internet EXPLORER and EXPLORER the file system browser don't share their name by mistake. They're so similar I can load the same COM addin in both.

2. From a pure usability perspective, it makes a boat load of sense to prevent a user from accidentally uninstalling the last browser on the machine. When dealing with edge cases and possible support calls, making sure that the user has at least one application that can download files from the web is pretty damn reasonable. Safari is also not removable... for similar reasons.

Further - I think it's actually a fairly good credit to MSFT that they're bothering with shims at all, and are maintaining a good chunk of compatibility for applications that were written literally decades ago.

Both Google and Apples's approach to this would literally be: "We're so sorry, that's no longer supported and you're f*#$ed. Go upgrade, get your vendors to upgrade, or eat shit."

MSFT isn't writing shims because they still need them... they're writing shims because they have enterprise customers who want them, and they actually give a fuck about that.
You shouldn't need someone to fetch you a source - the performance gap is big and well documented in every single review of the 4090 or 7900XTX - hardly much of a surprise really given we are comparing a 999 dollar part to a 1600 dollar one. Just pick literally any review from the top of a google search with benchmarks.

The 7900 XTX will outperform the $1200 4080 in some games using rasterized rendering, but not conclusively across the board.

With ray tracing turned on, the 4080 however generally always comes out ahead in benchmarks, so the 4080 and 7900XTX can definitely be described as trading blows.

There will be almost no benchmark a 7900XTX trades blows with a ~$1600 4090 on (perhaps with exception of performance per dollar...) - the 4090 will substantially outperform a 7900XTX in most things so long as you aren't CPU bound etc - its generally some 30 percent faster than the 4080 which the 7900XTX is roughly equivalent to.

If money is no object for a buyer, the gap between the fastest Nvidia gaming part and the fastest AMD gaming part is pretty big at the moment, assuming you can stomach the MSRP of the 4090. The 4090 is really in a performance league of its own right now.

The 7900XTX's biggest feature today is that its MSRP is 200 dollars less than the 4080, although both cards can be argued to be priced too high this generation relative to the performance offered and price points of prior gens. Rumors abound the 4080 is going to get a price cut soon.
Nah, it's true, but it's not helpful right now. Comes off as just wanting to look down on OP.

GPU "cores" are ~ SIMD lanes.

(a difference I think is that there are more virtual lanes, some of may be masked off, that are mapped to the GPU physical SIMD lanes)

eScooters are significantly more dangerous to riders than bikes. They have much smaller tires so they’re far more susceptible to falling because of small imperfections in the roads. They are not as easy to balance as bicycles. They are harder to see. They are harder to control. They are harder to slow down rapidly unlike a bike.

There’s a whole host of fundamental physical reasons why bikes are just much safer.
This makes me think that non pushy spaces like UK pubs should be given advantageous tax treatment.

Are there any “coffee pubs”? I personally enjoy an occasional beer but I don’t know if I’d want to repeatedly invite folks to hang out for hours in a place that largely serves alcohol drinks in mixed male/female company. Seems like it could become a headache in the US.

One other issue in the US is that any third space becomes a long term hangout of all the local homeless, which causes people not to want to go there. Several local Starbucks have this problem and I stopped going there. It pushed me to drive 15 minutes to find one I can hang out without being distracted by people with obvious mental illness who need treatment.
I'm not sure what's going on with this comment. The code snippets shown on the blog is editable, and is about the same size. If the size of the font is a bit different, it should not matter, because that isn't the point of what is being discussed. Unless you are referring to the animations, but then the point is to show the geometric shapes.

Perhaps you want to go to the GitHub page (https://github.com/l1mey112/v-2Dsoftbodies). Font sizes would all be uniform. But the blog has the animations to first see how it works.

No, about a decade ago a 1440p/120hz monitor would blow the best TVs out of the water, for less than $400. Even low latency modes were a rare thing on TVs.

And even before that era, some 1080p 120hz and 2560x1600 60hz monitors were quite good for the money.

Yeah, Stadia was sad and never lived up to its potential. But this is a frequent issue with Google, so it's not really surprising.

From what contemporary developers have said, being able to write the games in C and having much better dev kits was a major coup for PlayStation that attracted a lot of developers. This was something that hadn't really been done before, so you can't blame Sega for not realizing how important it was, but everyone says it made it, comparatively, a nightmare to work on. Sega later developed some better tools for 3D game development that they dogfooded with the development of Virtua Cop (if you think you'd like to hear about this for over 4 hours this video is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrMqYVB5G-4), but too little, too late.

On top of this, Sega had some major unforced errors between harming their own credibility with the 32X and Sega CD and their surprise early launch that led to them launching with almost no games and angering retailers so badly that they refused to stock the system.

To me these are bigger factors than the architecture; the Saturn still does have impressive 3D games.
> I think modern over-parenting by high income / HCOL area / high status couples takes sort of the worst of these approaches and produces a lot of precocious, stressed out, cardboard cutout, downwardly mobile youth.

The exceedingly rarely mentioned elephant in the room here is the phenomenon of regression towards the mean. It works for all polygenically heritable traits, including height and the g-factor.

To simplify it, first-generation children have to turn out more average than their parents, heredity-wise. And as their intelligence is often weaker than their parents', and our society hasn't really found any solid methods of raising it (the tutoring discussed in this thread helps surprisingly little in experiments), as you observe:

> The kids end up only getting into colleges at best as selective as their parents, and quite often less so.

Of course the highly intelligent, professional parents notice this law and pattern as well - and in our history we very often see lesser children of greatest men and women. What real options do they see for themselves here?

1. They can go all in on test-prep and resume padding with the extracurriculars - this is common and unsophisticated path due to little available gain...

2. Or they might ensure they are influential enough, so their children get admitted into top universities by one of various legacy programs. As a bonus the parents might oversee the marriage preferences and ensure the children avoid the second regression to the mean by marrying within the self-selected group with similar heritage (not meant as a praise, but this behavior of self-selecting into a tribe associated with a profession became more common & obvious nowadays).

3. ... Or they might pursue such novel techniques as IVF with polygenic embryo selection to compensate for the expected decline. This already happens, with first children having been born.
So perhaps it isn't the verbosity per se of Rust that irks you so. That's fine. No one needs to learn or not learn any given tool.
Definitely a huge pain point raised here. All the solutions today are 100% better than anything offered in a bundle prior (Office). But it becomes an absolute cluster trying to manager, let along the issues w onboarding you raised.

Definitely seems like there needs to be some industry wide consensus around this but id imagine that would be difficult with the current VC model. Incentives are in place to "carve out a niche" and then expand horizontally.

The Netherlands have been flooded multiple times over the centuries and this has contributed to the idea of helping the people in difficult situation. I don't recall exactly, but after the flood of 1825, a fond was started to collect money to help the ones who lost everything. And a large part of the population contributed money into it as everyone knew a relative or friend who lost some property, his home, or some family members. So geography and history have a part in the way the Dutch care against adversity.

Here is a list from English Wikipedia about the floods. The Dutch Wikipedia has much more info on the flood, as well as a museum in Leyden (from Rijkswaterstaat if I remember well). Not everyone can read the Dutch language.

Cloud accelerators carry a huge price premium because there aren't very many of them available and they aren't as fungible as CPUs. Comparing to a local GPU would likely be favorable for the local machine.
TLDR:

The SaaS model offers many benefits and is undoubtedly the future of software.

However, when we moved from the good old desktop app to the SaaS apps, we lost a crucial component — the platform or operating system, such as Windows, macOS, or Linux — that was providing the ability to gather, among other things, the members and documents of an organization.

Therefore, we need to build the missing SaaS platform, which will require critical shifts in the following fields:

• Architecture: SaaS apps have to be constructed differently.

• Economic: SaaS vendors must change how they charge their customers.

• Standardization: An open standard is required so users and organizations cannot be locked into a platform.

Sure, it's challenging, but we believe it's the path to sustain the SaaS model.
At least in my area (SW Michigan), the Jaycees seem to be a fairly big thing. They require member ages to be in [18,40] - so "40 years younger" is not a risk.
It's not until the Third Law that the author names a show of his: The Middleman (2008) on ABC Family, a one-and-done cult classic comedy show. That show's quality lends strong credence to the expertise backing up his second and third laws. That show really knew what it was, and every decision top to bottom worked to convey the show's very particular tone and style.

It must have been a real trick to communicate that effectively-- The Middleman was like "X-Files meets Doctor Who, but less serious than either, and with a sense of ironic detachment, but not so much detachment that we can't tell stories about emotions, and also everyone talks like they're in a comedy sketch making fun of the dialogue in Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

The Bleem! and Bleemcast! Emulators to play PSX games was awesome at the time to. The fact there was a commercial release was even cooler to me. I still have two copies of each and a couple of the variants (bleempacks) too.

It's ironic that Sony suing them closed them down, only for the original developers to go to work at Sony. My guess is they received nice pay packages in exchange.

The late 90's early 2k's was a really great time for tech.
Your CPU gets maybe 700-800 gflops depending on your all-core frequency (fp32 because you don't have Sapphire Rapids.) The T4 benchmarked would be crunching what it can at ~65 tflops (fp16 tensor.) Newer GPUs hit 300 tflops (4090) or even nearly 2 petaflops (H100).

To give you an idea of the order of magnitude of compute difference. Sapphire Rapids has AMX and fp16 AVX512 to close the gap a little, but it's still massive.

Good to see some sane development. In no rich country should kids go hungry. We in Poland have 500PLN/month ($250 PPP) per kid and that’s very good program in my opinion. Free meals in schools were always there for poor kids but IMO it’s always rewards people who hide their income and disincentivises work so I like this universal approach better. I think we currently have dollar-for-dollar support, if you get some income you get less support which fixes some of issues with hard support line.
