You're right, this comment should just be added to the file header and maybe the docs about H.264 processing in FFmpeg; otherwise this comment will get lost in a couple hours and the knowledge about all this will only be known by the people that made the change and not many more...

I really wonder why it costs people so much to write the whys of everything technical they do in at least a source code comment, but it is indeed an everyday's uphill battle.
Really important for folks to understand what the AI doom argument is. It's surprising how the key concepts still haven't percolated this late into the AI revolution, though they are somewhat complex.

Here's my Twitter thread [1] with a summary of Eliezer's key points and some abridged clips.

Yeah sadly agree, depending on what you want. If you want OpenCL, you're absolutely right. The AMD PRO driver is even worse than the Nvidia driver as it only supports old kernels and install process is terrible.
I don't understand harsh judgements like this.

Nobody thinks the ladies are unsuitable, or need fixing in any kind of serious sense.

But the cover of a magazine is what sells. Artists are going to tweak everything.

Portrait and fine art photographers go to great lengths to control lighting, angles, poses -- are their subjects are not good enough to photograph in natural light, with an unplanned pose? Of course not, but they are trying to create the image that achieves the best impact in line with their personal vision.

Animators pervasively create characters with bodies superior to any human being. Are they doing that because real human beings are unacceptable? No, it's just the artificial perfection generates attraction and inspiration in us.

Almost all human beings artfully adjust their appearance every day, their hair, their clothing, not just makeup. Are they not good enough humans when they get out of bed? Of course they are, but they have the ability to create a more positive impact.

Art is art. If you want science or a documentary, then yes, it would be better to have raw imagines. Unless contrast enhancement or other filters help expose the raw reality better.
But this ignores, as in my example, who pays for the complexity.

I want a bagel. Is it simplest for me to start tilling the land and looking for wild wheat relatives to breed, or to drive my incredibly complex car built in centuries of industrialization to the corner store and buy (using money, one of the most complex concepts we've developed!) a bagel, bring it home in a plastic (!!!) bag, and stick it in the toaster?

If I should, during my lifetime, succeed in completing a bagel with the former, I have reasonable confidence it can't be reduced further without changing the output.

But I disagree that it's the simplest way /for me/ to get breakfast.
Whether happy or not, an English major would know that it "raises the question" not "begs the question."
My prediction is different from that. If humans make it to Mars and start setting up more than just a basic base then I predict that Mars is going to be a plastic planet for the forseeable future. -->Given enough energy<-- and that water and carbon dioxide make it easier to gather hydrogen, carbon and oxygen than other elements makes it very attractive to produce as much as possible from plastics.

In many places in Asia people like going to the office because the space is bigger and nicer than where they live. And they feel better being a part of the social hierarchy there.
I used to do it a lot in the military, months alone in a server room on a ship, eating alone because I'm working nights. This might sound like a nightmare to some but it's my most extreme example and I loved it. Honestly, it's relaxing not having to deal with people's problems all the time. I deal with people very frequently in my current role and I miss the peace and quiet.

Most psychologists will tell you "we're very social creatures" but I was VERY social for so long that now it just feels like a waste of my time. People are quick to throw their problems on everyone around them, I get tired of the neediness, the games people play, the ego trips, all of it. It's sort of like a been there, done that, not interested anymore.
I recently switched back from AMD -> Nvidia and couldn't be happier. Other than some issues with an inadvertent install blocking the kernel module it has been pretty much flawless.

I actually completely agree. We SHOULD know the true origin and causes; I just have zero faith anyone in the US will put pressure on China or accuse them publicly. That was more the gist of what I was getting at.
This news is still something to celebrate as it shows the way forward.

The information is in the video files and our brain can't just use it but math can.

I can imagine using/buying a upscale model optimized for an old tv show for example. Or using a model for my prev game streams.

There is temporal information and high res pictures from sets, styles or actors at the time of the recordings. All information which can be used.

If its not yet good enough, it will.

Lets see if this forces a global standard or opensource model plug and play or whatever.

And if you look at the other nvidia research like were the model learns the face and than interpolates all further movements also a really good use case.
Original and fixed is a confusing wording.

Something like "original cover" and the "changes reverted" would be more understandable.

As an aspiring entomologist (when I was younger) its very common. I would have put it in a jar when I got home and observed it but you have to know that insects have very short lives and one in a polluted urban setting would not live long anyways. I think people conflate insects lifespans with mammals(which can be as long or longer than humans).

I'm not assuming anything, I'm pointing out a failure of self-regulation given the TTPs listed in the original article, which are distinct from fully insider-supported attacks, should not happen.

There is obvious, direct, and destructive customer impact here.

Edit: actually I know people working in security roles for T-Mobile, and I am sure they or their sister teams are trying.
Don't underestimate the value of checking all the security compliance check boxes. It solves what really matters - protecting executives from prosecution and/or being dragged in front of Congress to testify. <sarcasm off>

Seriously though, so long as cybersecurity insurance and "industry best practices checkbox management" is easier and/or cheaper than actual meaningful security measures, it will never be solved.

Worse, when a meaningful security measure that could actually make a difference collides with something in a best practices document, you know who will lose.

I'm not cynical at this point, no...
When I was a fresh EE I was hired as a backdoor to hiring an electrician because an EE is cheaper. Everything about it was hilariously easy and we were wiring up some insane shit, think 300 amp 1kV motors that will kill people if it goes wrong. Theres very little that goes beyond your 101 level linear circuits, some gauge tables, and youtube videos for how to crimp and mount the breakers, ground faults, etc.

It will make more sense when you realize the trades were basically designed to suppress the 'out-group' from joining the union or being hired to keep up the union workers wages. That's why hiring an EE is so much cheaper than hiring an electrician.

That is, the dirty secret is: the trades have a vested interest in having 'shortage.'
can the open kernel modules do CUDA? I read somewhere that they couldn't, but that could be out of date now and would be a game changer for me
No. Pure functions are more modular. It allows you to treat your logic like bricks and building blocks. Pure functions are composable purely off of types. Combinators are actually the proper term here.

Mutable state does not do this. Your idea of generations doesn't make sense, because that means every function must take a generation as the input parameter too. Given a different generation number the function must deterministically create the same output.

It is not a complete system. Your equations produce this useless generation number that aren't reused as part of the system, it's just there for you and meta analysis.

That is not to say your first paragraph is completely wrong though. There is a trade off between modularity and efficiency. Mutating a variable is less resource intensive then generating a new variable.
That assumes that sales figures are entirely controlled by demand. The OP points out a perfectly plausible mechanism by which demand is not the only factor affecting sales volume. It's almost certainly true that dealerships will stock what's profitable, customer preferences be damned.
Depends on what you mean by "the data decryption values". If you mean the encryption keys for the vaults themselves, no. Those are derived from the individual master passwords (in non-SSO setups, with SSO it's more complicated, and I don't fully understand the impact). So the attackers have a bunch of encrypted vaults from a backup. They can now brute-force the vaults, but if the original Master Passwords were secure (16+ characters, all 4 classes), those vaults should remain secure. Of course, many people use bad passwords, and those people are at risk.
Thanks for this, it's great. I've never explained it as clearly as these two do, but this has always been my philosophy and what I try to aim for when developing software. I find that a lot of times people opt for easy, thinking that it's simple, but down the road they find out it is actually complex. I wonder if we will every see a real shift to focusing on simplicity and the gains that come from it?
I'm unsure how your comment about external matters relates to the article because none of these were discussed.

The criticisms were specifically internal: 1. no mission, 2. no urgency, 3. delusions of exceptionalism, and 4. mismanagement.

1. Never sure which product to work on. Jumping round starting and stopping products without a sense of strategy.

2. Country club mindset where everything moves slowly and people aren't driven.

3. "My way is already perfect, so there's nothing to change." It's typical introvert developer-is-also-the-PM behavior.

4. Managers making technical decisions.

These types of signals are typical of end-stage, innovation-dead corporations because I've seen many of them up close and personally. And, I've also have seen the energy of startups and companies that were still ascending.

Those were awful mergers. Supposedly the US government has reduced the amount of rubber-stamping of these mergers and are said to be scrutinizing them more now. I suppose time will tell.

That is my outsider impression of what's going on at Google. The ChatGPT interface that Microsoft is rolling out absolutely should have come from Google first.

It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

The article doesn't make it clear which T-Mobiles are affected.

They should be. And if you’re not in love with the sound of the author’s voice too, you shouldn’t be reading their works.

Literature is a luxury. It’s not constrained by utilitarian purposes. Save the short and concise sentences for the newspapers. (Not to say that simple and clear sentences can’t ALSO be beautiful, of course; it’s just that that’s not the ONLY type of beauty to be found in literature.)

I've used Vercel for static sites and don't really need a CI in these cases. It's a matter of pushing changes to a git repo and waiting a few seconds to see the changes published. I previously used GitHub pages but found Vercel to be a better experience all around.

Some notes about my E-Ink studies.

1. E-ink requires a number of external components, even with their "chip on glass". In particular, E-ink requires a high voltage to change and charge the ink. I've seen inductors on most of these reference designs (ie: suggesting a boost converters of some kind).

2. E-Ink is very slow especially at this price range. Static images are fine, but don't expect animations.

3. E-ink protocols take a "temperature". In my cases, I've just been hard coding it to 25C / Room temperature, but this suggests that low-temperatures or high-temperatures may change the behavior of the screen.

4. E-ink is very "bursty" with power, using more power than LCD when changing images, but then zero power for most of its life. Be sure to think carefully about the current associated with this burst, especially if you're using small CR2032 coin cells (which have ~10 to ~100 ohms of internal resistance). A ~100mA draw on the charge inductor isn't out of the question (at 10-ohms, that's a voltage drop of 1V, which probably browns-out the RP2040). A slow-start circuit could solve this but you'd need to consider the longer charge times. Another method is to have 2x CR2032 cells in parallel, which lowers IR (parallel resistors lower resitance). I'd be most interested in studying the power-network of this design, I bet there's some interesting things going on here.

5. Most E-ink screens seem to be some kind of SPI protocol (4 wire). This is very similar to mini-LCD screens.

---------

LCD screens use more power, but get you color, more resolution, animation and seem to be cheaper still. Furthermore, LCD requires fewer external components (maybe a charge-pump set of capacitors, but some LCD screens don't even need that). Note that color/resolution/animation all costs processor power / storage / RAM, so be careful what you wish for.

LCD might be more suitable for beginners. But e-ink is very cool and awesome.
As far as I'm aware they are strictly a superset- everything required to run a standard ARM binary is there- but there are extra instructions available as well, which shouldn't require any extra coding for Linux to ignore and run as normal.
Hehe, used to work for ZEIT. Always tickles me when things like Now pop up. I wish it still existed in its original form sometimes.
He's got a point: increase in minimum memory and increase in CPU performance means that superior programming isn't always necessary.

People regularly produce for fun what used to be a masters thesis level of work these days. I'll cite that YouTube video of someone making a reaction wheel system that can get an inverted Lego pendulum to stand up, and stay up under perturbations. The Lego part isn't the main work. The main work is software, a PID controller of the reaction wheel.

Something else has happened. There's enough people who know enough that the knowledge is just sloshing around, waiting for others to do cool things with it.

I don't feel Tesla is a good guy. Landscapes like this aren't binary, and your insinuation is expanding the context of this discussion further than originally intended, then drawing false conclusions. In the specific issue of remote text messaging protocols: yeah, Tesla should support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay; but this absolutely also has everything to do with limitations in Apple's bluetooth text message access APIs, or at minimum their lack of industry leadership in moving these open standards forward to support more capabilities.
That's the point. This hand waving allows the user to build more complex systems.

The cost is efficiency but make no mistake not thinking about the heap allows people to build much more complex programs. It's a trade off between complexity and efficiency.
In practice this is happening a lot through inflation, reduced stock grants, etc.
So any claim such as your previous one is rather of no value.

>It does help make it much less likely.

Yeah... To the same extent as the infamous proof of formal correctness of an example program published in a book, until the program was tested negatively by a student some months later.
Having worked in the repossession industry I can tell you it's a messy one. It's become such a sh*t show between vendors and the actual agents/companies, it's a fight to who can bid the lowest for each car. Also I'm not sure how this will work, there is so much regulation in the repossession industry.

I don't know about the first two because those aren't a use case for me, but for 3, you want helm-org-rifle-agenda-files, and for 4, I don't know about something org-specific, but you can use emacs' search commands after narrowing the focus to the current subtree (by default bound to C-x n s, I use this so often that I have it bound to H-f, and I revert focus with s-f, so that I am not distracted while working on an entry).

The first two are interesting use cases though, I'll reply again if I find something that works.

>Who would buy a Mac and put Linux on it?

Some people might buy a mac and put linux on it to help out asahi linux with testing/troubleshooting etc, or because they like the hardware more than what other brands offer. Others in this comment section are running Asahi Linux as their daily driver apparently. There really isn't an ARM machine on the market like an M1/M2.

> you could buy a faster Intel or AND machine

Genuine question, what intel or AMD chip is better than the M1 or M2? Are you referring to desktops, laptops, or both?

I get that you can buy/build a very good machine for less money than brand new Mac, but is the performance really as good as the m1 or m2?
> When slave societies were faced with free societies, the free societies tend to bury them.

> Free societies have an inherent advantage, as they better fit human nature.

What are the examples of that which are not also essentially industrial vs feudal or technologically primitive societies?

That history seems pretty thin.

What's more likely is that freer societies are better able to harness the abilities of their inhabitants, and unlike slavery/serfdom based states, they don't have to deploy as many resources to defend against their own enslaved inhabitants. It's a triumph of a better organizational structure, not something inherent to human nature.

Otherwise free societies would have become the norm far earlier in history than they did.
