Near as I can tell, no one is truly neutral. They’re just more obvious about playing both sides at once. WW2 being a classic example.
From the site:

> you load a small part of the model, then team up with people serving the other parts to run inference or fine-tuning.

If multiple people participate in a fine tuning session, you have to trust all of them. You also have to trust everybody for inference too, but at least one of them can’t scramble the model.
Also known as snot tape.
You can definitely do arbitrary work as a sort of proof of work. Not quite the same mathematically, but pragmatically similar. The key is building in some redundancy/error-correction and ensuring that a single node can't by itself define "correctness" of a solution. You do that by duplicating work across nodes, distributing chunks randomly and rejecting/rerunning disagreeing results. It's also pretty easy to spot bad actors trying to cheat on their computational work in this scenario.
Deadly Fungus Detected in Most U.S. States
The common connection between programming for databases, for networks, and for multithreads/cores/processors is that all of them are about concurrency at different levels of abstraction.

So American CS curricula do emphasize teaching concurrency as a theme, as well as expose students to all levels of HW/SW abstraction (architecture, OS, networks, etc.). It's just that there's less emphasis on the specific trends because those are expected to change over time anyways. Also, CS is diverse, you wouldn't necessarily expect a quantum computing student or an AI student to know industrial level practices for concurrent programming.
I'd be curious to see how the sudden surge of available workforce is affecting the average salaries in the IT, compared to other fields that weren't touched so badly by the layoff wave.
This argument seems to have an unsavory consequence. There’s nothing wrong with excluding and persecuting minority groups because they’re not part of the nation. With a country like China, where the now-majority Han culture colonized the minority Wu, Canton, Hokkien, and various small western cultures in the last 100(ish, it was going on before the PRC as well) years, and a narrative of national unity and shared history was fabricated by the government, can we defend anti-immigration policies on the same grounds?
2000 Euro sounds pretty good on US salary. I might work remote from Munich and snap that up. You could just convert it to a city of international remote workers or something, no need to have cashiers, bus drivers, and stuff like that in the city.
They're higher, but still nowhere near what they were in the 80s and 90s (10+%).

Raw pointers are still common in modern C++ and those are of course not memory safe. Reasonable memory safety out of C++ would require rigorously adhering to a subset of the language, adding bounds checking to all containers, forbidding implicit type casting, etc.
I was excited for Spack and used it for some small packages, but it didn’t have a proper binary artifacts then. Ended up settling on conda-forge and it’s okay.

If I was doing a large scientific computing project today, I’d probably reach for bazel with some conda rules hooked up to conda-forge to set up third party packages.

If they laid off 400 employees, it’s probably because they could afford to (nice way of saying: they were not necessary to keep the business functioning), likely a bet on innovation. As the economy struggles and the prospects of such innovation happening seem far, it makes sense that even a big company like Amazon may choose to cut their losses.
> The LME didn't disclose the name of the company that believed itself to be the owner of nickel briquettes valued at $1.3 million at current prices. The firm was JPMorgan, according to the people, some of whom said the bank first bought the material several years ago.

$1.3 million. JPMorgan. Nothing to see here people, move along.
Yeah, I feel like they’re tackling some very hard problems with tons of enthusiasm and class.
Exactly. Unfortunately in finance they give you the bonus as 'the missing piece of your salary' for the majority of rank and file. Go after the executive bonuses if you must. The rest of them are just chumps who wait til Feb/March to get the rest of their pay.

Yeah, spack(er) is really up there for an insult. You really have to be extremely vitriolic to call someone a spack.
Yep! I'm not a nix expert but my understanding is that this is typically done with overlays. So you can, say, swap out openmpi for mpich, but mpich requires a different version of hwloc that conflicts with the one defined in some other branch of your derivation, you're out of luck. In Spack that is handled through dependency resolution. There have been discussions of how to deal with this in Nix, e.g.: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/concept-use-any-package-versio....

Similarly, for packages like HDF5 that tend to be depended on with options that affect its API (+parallel, ~parallel, etc.), I do not think there are automatic ways to get nix to ensure that your request for hdf5+parallel is consistent with other packages in the graph.

Possibly worth a mention: for uarch flags like the ones shown here: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Build_flags, the user is responsible for setting them specifically for the requested compiler. We've abstracted that with `archspec` (https://github.com/archspec/archspec) so that you can just ask for a target and the correct compiler flags are injected. e.g., `target=cascadelake` or `target=zen3`. So if you switch compiler, you do not have to look up these details. See https://tgamblin.github.io/pubs/archspec-canopie-hpc-2020.pd... for more on how it works.

The salient parts of archspec aren't in a python library but in a JSON file (https://github.com/archspec/archspec-json/blob/master/cpu/mi...) so it's something that could probably be incorporated into Nix.

> It's my understanding that the northern European countries have very low immigration rates

Your understanding is wrong, immigration is rampant in Sweden with around 150.000 people (about 1.3% of the population) coming in every year. Some 25% of the population was born outside of the country by now, this number is only growing. Germany and the Netherlands also see very high migration although the numbers are a bit lower seen relative to the population. While these newcomers do contribute to a younger population they also have made the male-female distribution quite lopsided since the vast majority of migrants is male. Sweden now has the same problems as China has there with about 116 males for every 100 females in the 16-18yo age bracket - these numbers may be off by a bit (i.e. the difference may have grown) since I last checked these statistics a few years ago. Unfortunately the employment statistics do not look good for these newcomers which have trouble getting into the Swedish labour market with its high requirements on education which actually only increases the problems the country has in keeping the welfare state up and running. Pension ages are going up to compensate for this which goes against what the population was told when they were faced with a large influx of newcomers who were supposedly 'necessary for the future of the welfare state'. Had this been the case that welfare state would be a Ponzi scheme and any newcomer who was foolish enough to fall for the lure would end up working for benefits he would be sure never to get. In reality it is those who have already worked to build up the welfare state who get to pay for a large fraction of the newcomers - e.g. Somalian immigrants to Sweden are only ~20% self-supporting with the rest depending on government benefits, 37% of migrants from Africa and the Middle East - who make up the majority of non-EU migrants coming to Sweden - were self-supporting in 2016 with the other 63% being dependent on government benefits. The Swedish welfare state will need to be reformed or it will not survive.

Maybe if people suffer enough they'll learn not to build a debt-based house-of-cards economy that requires hundreds of billions in taxpayer bailouts at the slightest threat of insolvency and defaults.

Oh who am I kidding? They'll just go back to banks again, every single time.

The only way the headline makes any sense is if this is a follow-up to an ongoing saga where it’s like, “hey so you know all that nickel that turned out to be stone? They had bought it all!”
Eh, HN is kind of mildly cynical toward everything, not just startups.

It makes sense to me; after all, people on HN are likely pretty in-tune with tech news, and if you read enough tech news over a long enough time, it becomes clear that the vast major of "groundbreaking" and "disruptive" ideas end up falling flat.
100% wrong. Those votes were to reduce public policing, in favor of private policing. In other words, it was members of the ruling class voting to drop the facade altogether and abandon any remaining semblance of a police that serves the public.
Because changing the crop a whole country lives of requires enormous changes in the agricultural infrastructure. Years of trial and error and lots of valuable knowledge farmers have about growing the currently common crops would become less valuable.

Point is: It would lead to lower crop yields, at a higher cost.

That's doesn't mean instant death for all humans on the face of the earth. But it's still something we want to avoid.

Acting to prevent climate change is a cost saving measure.
> - do not have to worry about car maintenance, parking tickets or theft;

I'm glad you're in a city you don't have to worry about theft, but this is one of my biggest issues with bike ownership. You basically need to get a shitty bike to not worry about it being stolen or hope there's something adequate to firmly lock it to at the destination in my city.
Yup. It's only an issue if you insist on an immense amount of years of experience as a requirement for working on your web stack.
Almost certainly not true of where I live in the western exurbs/suburbs of Boston. Maybe in the city though even that seems high.

Only if climate change doesn't reach levels where lots of coastal properties are wrecked by rising seas. IIRC a large fraction of global population live close to the coast.
Yes Modern Pinball closed in 2020. It was fun to live a few blocks from there. I think we did two birthday events for my Son there. Always a nice rainy day event for me and my kid. Glad to see a list of these places. There used to be on in New Jersey near Philadelphia and it is now one of the mentioned Bay Area ones.
This link just goes to their website. Last I looked at this project, I was happy that it existed but I was disappointed (given my over-optimistic expectations) for two reasons:
1) It's for the BLOOM model which isn't great compared to somewhat recent gpts. Like I think I read that it's worse than the openai models on a per parameter basis.
2) It's faster than using RAM/SSD as faux VRAM but 'only' by 10x.
That was even before LLaMA or its improvements had existed for running locally. So by my old understanding, bloom/petals wouldn't be even as good as those ones even though it technically has more parameters.
I wonder are these interpretations still true (assuming they ever were true lol), or did something happen where bloom/petals is much better than that now?

Edit: The petals/bloom publication that I read for the information I put above was https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.01188 published to arxiv on September 2 2022.

Marcan (two weeks ago):

It's a known issue blocked on bureaucracy/politics with the kernel, so you just have to wait. Sorry.

ARM64 Linux does not want hardware-specific cpuidle drivers, instead relying on the PSCI firmware standard, but that standard is designed to rely on optional ARM features that Apple Silicon does not implement, so we can't implement it. Basically, PSCI assumes you have a "super-hypervisor" running the platform (TrustZone/EL3 on most Androids, but also somewhat similar to SMM mode on Intel), which is something Apple very deliberately stripped out of their CPUs very quickly because they don't need it and their security model relies on better solutions. Linux on AS truly runs on bare metal at the highest privilege, unlike the vast majority of other ARM64 platforms.

The current thinking is we need to make a new standard, either a new PSCI transport that does work on AS or something simpler/ad-hoc. We haven't had time to start that long conversation formally yet. I could write a hardware-specific cpuidle driver in a day, but of course they'd reject it upstream.

Doesn't seem like this is going to be fixed anytime soon. :(
Japan said a couple of decades ago "robots". I guess it has to work out, one century or other?

Twitch is an amazon property. This is likely simply an extension of the amazon layoffs.
WASM was cool but then all the trouble came. I am more reluctant to use WASM in production today than a couple of years ago. Seems like the biz agrees...
OpenGL rather.
If this is the case, why are layoffs currently mostly in the tech sector and not everywhere? Unemployment budged .2% from Jan - Feb but this is hardly indicative of anything.
I’m impressed by how ChatGPT-like it is but also it’s saying things like

But why? Why not buy a house in rural USA for much cheaper long-term? Why help raise rent even higher and drive out the locals even more?
Does anyone have link to the source paper that keeps being mentioned in the article?

Asking because there was one thing they didn't address in the article that feels kind of too relevant to omit - the total number of tweets/week before and after Musk taking over. The article only mentions raw counts of antisemitic tweets before and after. That's pretty important.

For example, if the overall number of tweets/week increased by 3x, and the number of antisemitic tweets/week increased by 2.5x, that would actually be a reduction in the percentage of antisemitic tweets (even though their raw count more than doubled). That information can only be known if there is a raw count of all tweets available for the same points in time.

Disclaimer: I am not disagreeing with the conclusion of the article, I just want to see how they arrived at their conclusion and what methodology they used to measure that increase.
What's the goal of these warnings? If the right people cared about global warming and pollution, they could implement a simple law, at least in the US and EU: every item sold must be imprinted with a manufacturer id that's responsible for properly disposing this item. Coca-Cola would go bankrupt, but the amount of plastic trash in the ocean will be halved. Most consumer goods will double in price, because disposing a broken washing machine is not a small feat. The unhinged consumerism will end, but with it will end the economy as we know it.

thanks for the feedback. i could easily have it accomodate that many securely. what use case is that? If you can share.

It's true for places that people are actually moving to, like Florida, where prices literally tripled, and Texas, where it's more like 2.5x (but higher in metro regions like Austin):

The Status Trap
My kids consume roblox and minecraft videos ad infinitum and they are all on Google. I pay for premium to avoid ads so if twitch took this market I would pay twitch.

They also make roblox tiktoks as well but the overall workflow/interface is kind of difficult on the ipad. Really roblox should just make that app for themselves. Build it into the ipad app.

If you run product at either of these companies, implement these things and you'll make a mint.

It's true, but it's possible (quite likely actually) that the Fed and the FDIC looked at SVB's balance sheet, and concluded that they can make good on all the deposits given the FDIC insurance (of $250k per depositor) plus the new funding facility that allows banks to borrow against high quality collateral valued at par, rather than fair value. It does not follow that the math will work out with every single bank that's underwater out there.

Not defending their actions in this particular case, but yes, I think it is completely reasonable for a service like MailChimp to be concerned about unauthorized use of user accounts. If someone takes over a MailChimp account, it is almost certainly to send spam/fraud type stuff, which causes harm to MailChimp in various ways.

Compliance with those standards doesn't mean they aren't potentially impacted by that sort of thing, and doing what they can to detect and mitigate unauthorized user account usages is part of at least a few of them.
That type of work is not useful for securing a decentralized system. To secure a decentralized blockchain, you need the work to be provably wasteful.

That said, there's a new paradigm of Blockchain brewing called 'Proof of Physical Work', which accepts the centralized limitations and leverages the incentive scheme to produce useful outcomes for society. Perhaps the most interesting one right now is HiveMapper.

It won't secure a decentralized blockchain, but it might still be a great value add for society.
That is a gross misunderstanding of how the SAG and NBA Players Union work.

They do not gatekeep. They provide contractual minimum pay and benefits for their members, and that's it. Members are free to negotiate for higher pay, and many do. (In the NBA, the cap is imposed by the owners, not the union. There is no cap in Hollywood.)

Hollywood productions and NBA teams are free to negotiate with and hire non-members, with the caveat that such individuals may become members of the appropriate union upon the signing of the contract and that contract must then adhere to the union minimums.

In both cases, union membership is automatic upon certain events. For SAG, this means appearing in one or more SAG-governed productions (depending on the level of the role, i.e., lead vs supporting vs background). For NBA players, this means getting signed to an NBA team.
Both good ideas, thank you.

EyesCream© Visual Field Analyzer is a PC game to explore your visual ability and to achieve a visual map. It was originally designed for laser safety applications. If you believe that you are blinded by high intensity light sources for example by gazing at a partial solar eclipse or intense laser or arc lamps you should consult your eye doctor first. Nevertheless it may also show up here, but this is a game. Under certain setup conditions (very large monitor) it possibly could also reveal glaucoma progression or age-related macula degeneration. (Whether it can detect retinal detachment is yet unclear.) This program does not dispense you from a regular visit of an eye doctor!

There was the company restreaming broadcast video where they were installing antennas per subscriber to argue that they were no different than having that many TVs tuned in to a broadcast.
