Uhh... I'm pretty sure that page is about the price of buying an entire GPU that does N GFLOP/S in perpetuity. It has no relevance to the calculation you did, unless you assume the GPU is used for one second and then thrown in the bin.

> I'll acknowledge that a fleet entirely made up of A100 GPUs running at full capacity 100% of the time with Azure's 3-year commitment pricing (likely very low margin) would make this 5 orders of magnitude cheaper. But the sequential nature of transformers makes it difficult to achieve perfect utilization,

I don't think you've thought this through. There's no realistic level of utilization that's going to make up for 5 orders of magnitude. An unimaginably crappy 1% utilization would still leave you off by 3 orders of magnitude.

This very submission about OpenAI having to suspend selling subscriptions makes it pretty clear they're not having trouble with low utilization...

> If ChatGPT plus is $20/mo and each user uses it ~10 times per day, then MS/OpenAI would break even if my estimate were 2 orders of magnitude too high.

You do understand that this doesn't actually support your initial estimate, right? It just makes it more obvious how ridiculous it was.
What keyboards are they?
you obvioisly drank the nato coolaid but please tell me whats wrong with my understanding. here goes

1990. nato makes the not one inch eastward promise

1999. in disregard for international law, nato bombs russia ally yugoslavia and takes over its southern teritory

1999. nato expands into poland and several other ex warsaw countries

2004. nato expands into ex-ussr, taking baltic states as members

2008. april. nato said it will take in georgia and ukraine

2008. may. us and majority of nato countries recognize the unilateral declaration of independence by kosovo, in disregard to previously signed un agreements, and in disregard to international law forbidding unilateral secessions

2008. august. georgia tries to retake control over autonomous ethnic-minority regions. russia stops this. georgia looses any chance of becoming part of nato

2010. ukraine government abandons plans to join nato

2014. people from west ukraine are driven by busses into kiev to overthrow an elected government. us publically supports the coup. elected president flees to russia. the goverent is overthrown. east ukraine opposes the overthrow and begins to rebel against the new government.

2014. crimea unilateraly seceeds from ukraine, citing the kosovo precedent. simultaneously it becomes part of russia

2014. civil war accross eastern ukraine, centering around donbas

2014. minsk agreements signed

2016-2019 nato suffers from being perceived as irrelevant.

2018. nato requests substantial funding to improve its information campaign. huge effort to rewrite the history of 'not an inch eastward' promise

2022. january. ukranian government publically states it has no intension of fulfilling minsk agreements

2022. february. russia invades ukraine

to me this timeline of events strongly suggests that ukraine and its people are a mere chess piece in US imperial ambissions
Yeah this seems like a big problem especially for e-bikes. I get that law enforcement can't really prioritize it because it seems impractical to investigate.

Couldn't we solve this by embedding geo trackers in the bikes? That should make it much easier to catch thieves and make theft much less appealing.

It could also be partially solved by flooding the city with cheap alternatives, like electric bikes that anyone can afford to rent on demand.

How did you verify and validate that a AWS Nitro Enclave actually provides isolation and attestation guarantees?

Do they provide certifications or audits confirming conformance to multi-level security guarantees? Or do they provide you detailed specifications allowing you to evaluate that yourselves? Did you run red team exercises that resulted in no detected deficiencies as would be required by a multi-level security claim?
How do you explain ChatGPT to your kids
My daughter(12) started using ChatGPT recently for homework stuff, but she also asked it some personal things about a friendship situation with her best friend, which made me think about how dangerous it is to take a friendship advice from a llm.

I thought its important to explain what it is and how it works, so I made our lesson yesterday be about ChatGPT (we spend every day doing a bit of coding and I log it in this repository):

https://github.com/jackdoe/programming-for-kids/blob/master/...

Today before school I asked her to reflect on what ChatGPT is, and she had a pretty good mental model from yesterday's lesson, so at least she doesnt think it has empathy or is telling the 'truth'.

I managed to change 'ChatGPT is giving an answer to a question' to 'its just guessing the next word, but it understands deeply how words are connected'.

We did a lot of exercises where I asked her to think what would the next word be given a sequences of words just by thinking about their probabilities, like: 'Your name is ChatGPT. What is your' and the next word is going to be probably 'name' and then '?' and then 'My'

How do you explain it to your kids? Do you worry about them using it?

Since OpenAI makes it super easy to login with gmail (and her gmail is a kid account), I didn't even know she had a user there until she told me, but I think most kids in her class use it without their parents knowing.
Show HN: 10wordnotes.com. “I” (ChatGPT) made this in about 30 minutes
Just something I've been wanting to make for a while. Not sure if you will find it useful. ChatGPT wrote 100% of the code, I didn't modify any of it by hand. That includes the content - I should probably update the About page etc, but I think it's kind of neat that it's completely unmodified code written by ChatGPT.

We did try some things that didn't work great, like left-aligning etc, but it doesn’t bother me - I'm going to leave it as-is because it's cool.

I wonder about adding features later - I suppose I could expand it.

TL;DR:
Here you go, it's a small site that lets you capture 10-word notes. Data is not sent to server, it's stored locally in HTML localstorage.

It'll be there until you clear it, and only on that one device - each device will have a new session and new set of notes.

What do you think? Waste of time? Or useful? Feedback appreciated (I'll send it to ChatGPT :) haha)

Had a horrible experience at LTN once with one particular security staff.
From the very beginning the lady doing the luggage inspection was being rude and patronising to me and to others.

When inspecting my luggage she pulled out every single item from my backpack with a glowing look of satisfaction on her face. She checked every single pouch for God knows what. I have never witnessed anything like it before.

When she got to the liquid bag I politely challenged her on the liquid policy which she could not properly explain in her broken English.
She then took things personally and became agitated, verbally aggressive and retorted to phrases like: Is this your first time flying? What is your problem??

Her boss was called and he took 5 minutes of his time to explain things calmly and politely. Apparently gels like vapour rub or hair wax are considered liquids. We joked about butter also being a liquid since it's _spreadable_. All was good and I decided to head back to the front desk to have my luggage checked-in instead (liquids were over the allowance indeed).

But the lady I mentioned was high on her power trip and completely ignored my requests to hand back my ID, credit cards, phone, and backpack which were on a tray in her possession (behind the plexiglass screen).
I asked twice and she just smirked and ignored it. Her boss also asked a couple of times until the penny finally dropped.

I've been at this airport many times before and have never experienced anything like this before.
It's a horrendous abuse of power and overreach. Security inspection staff should not withhold or deposes people of their legal documents or belongings.
It's degrading and abusive.

Agree! I am in the UK and have an electric bike, but I only use it for trips where I know I can safely store the bike and where I know the roads intimately. The UK needs to solve this, in addition to improving the safety of roads. There's too many pot holes, poor visibility due to people being allow to park pretty much anywhere, and not enough dedicated bike lanes.
The biggest thing that stopped 9/11 attacks since 9/11 was locks on cockpit doors.

I think the reason is that no one uses staplers, and yet there's a cupboard of them. Obviously it's not just staplers, there's loads of stationery, but why? A few pens and some notebooks is all that actually gets used.
It’s worth noting that Elon unbanned a whole slew of accounts that had been silenced simply for disagreeing with what happen to be your political priorities. Who has Elon banned for their politics?

Interesting! That's not at all what I get with GPT 4!

* Me: "You are Math AI. An advanced pattern finding AI. This is your sequence: 0, done, 2, free, 4, hive, ... ? Find a sensible logical pattern and explain."

---

* GPT4: "I apologize for any confusion, but my capabilities as a language model are not restricted to math or pattern finding. However, I'd be happy to try to help you identify a pattern in the sequence you provided.

The pattern that seems to emerge from the sequence is that each number is followed by a word that rhymes with the number spelled out as a word. For example, "done" rhymes with "one," "free" rhymes with "three," and "hive" rhymes with "five."

Following this pattern, the next word in the sequence would be a word that rhymes with "six," which could be "sticks," "mix," or "tricks," among other options. However, it's worth noting that this sequence could also be extended in different ways or according to different patterns, depending on the context or the intended purpose of the sequence."

It's just a really long winded version of making the exact same mistake, as it did in the 'unprimed' version!
Don't use magnetic USB adapters. They run a decent risk of frying your device. The USB-C spec was not designed to have the connection broken in that way. You will have no issues 99% of the time, but you will eventually have that time when your device gets fried. It takes a very precise design and a lot of clever engineering to have a high-current power connector with tiny pins be able to break without having the ground be the last connection to be broken.

It is also easy for the magnetic connector to short the power into a data line, and because it doesn't connect in the proper pin order and has no 'mid-plate' it has no mitigation against arcing. See this picture:

* https://imgur.com/a/bMvYtfy

Notice how some pins are longer than others? They are designed that way so that they connect first and disconnect last, so that ground is always established before and after other pins connect. This prevents connecting and disconnecting a cable from frying your electronics.

"The mid-plate shall be connected to the PCB ground with at least two grounding points. The mid-plate shall be designed such that plug pins A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, and B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9 do not short to ground during the connector mating process with an effective 6.2 mm receptacle shell implementation."

You just have to include all the parameters of the animation as part of your "dirtiness" calculation. I reckon in practice this means centralising pretty much _all game state_ in some way that you force the dirtiness state to be set correctly.

What we really need is ebike standards for the components. You should be able to use motors, batteries and contollers from any brand interchangeably on your bike.

It is atrocious that you buy a bike worth an decent used car and you cant't expect the electric motor last more than a few thousand kilometers [1], after which you have a broken black box of an motor in you hands that you need to replace, not fix. Which, if you are out of warranty costs close to a thousand bucks. And it is a damn 250w electric motor.

The difficulties of decarbonising home heating
> But the complaints did not cease. At one property the manufacturers visited, the customer had taken to going out into their garden and physically disconnecting and reconnecting the heat pump whenever they wanted the heat to come on. The manufacturers despaired of persuading the British public to give up their need to control their heating devices, until they came up with an ingenious solution. The Heat Boost button. This was a big red button installed on the inside of the property that, when pressed, switched a red light on and made a fan start whirring for at least 20 minutes. It didn’t actually do anything to the heating system, but it created the impression that the consumer was in control.

> Consumers in properties with heat boost buttons reported considerably higher satisfaction with their heat pump, even though none of the physics of the system had actually changed. The feeling of being in control was significantly more important than the reality of their warm house, which had not changed.

> Contemporary heat boost buttons do actually kick in an additional resistive heating circuit as the minor upgrade this offered to the heating experience was even more gratefully received by consumers, but this anecdote illustrates the perils of trying to engender a technological shift from Whitehall.

> But no, false national pride has now made the entire economic down-turn even harder.

Or it's more nuanced than that and there are actual benefits (as well as downsides) to having your own currency. It's like Covid. When it went well everybody was cheering and saying how we Swedes were geniuses. When it flipped, we were suckers. Maybe, it's more complex and actually quite a lot about luck and other factors.

Another example. Few have historically thought ill of Sweden's long (now gone) tradition of being neutral. One thing that makes it very difficult to be neutral is having a currency that you only control a few percent of.
Each one of these has been said, USB switcher, Screen switcher, and foot pedals. I have this combined, a USB + DisplayPort switcher, with a food pedal to change between the two connected laptops. It's great when it works, which it did in my previous HDMI+1080p screen setup. But as I moved to 4K, I had these issues:

- The noname HDMI cables I had was not the right version, bought 3 new ones.

- The old Apple dongle doesn't support 60hz, luckily I had a newer one which did, worked well on my newer Macbook Pro, but..

- ..Macbook Pro 2016 doesn't support 60hz through the dongles with HDMI, so I've got to move to DisplayPort.

- Now my NEW Macbook Pro doesn't work at all with DP. Macbook issue, as my other 3 Macbooks (on the same macOS) works fine.

So now I am using the KVM switcher for everything except the screen, which I have to manually change the input for, until I can reinstall macOS to see if that solves it (I have spent hours with Apple support).

Overall if you use multiple laptops the KVM is awesome, and the foot pedal is doubly so!

Well, you infer that, but I'm not sure the language implies that. It's standard corporate speak trying to downplay impact, nothing else.
Disclaimer: SRE at Google, not on Drive.

I didn't look into this and don't know what really happened, but I can guess.

It's more likely a tradeoff. Either you set this limit and protect your service from an identified scalability limit with the current architecture, or you plan for a (possibly long and expensive) redesign to get rid of this bottleneck.

My guess is that a group of SRE and devs identified the risk, listed their options, evaluated the impact on users (eg: which fraction of users have more than 5M files) and assumed that the change would be mostly unnoticed and that the error message would be enough to push users with more than 5M files in their drive account to do some cleanup.

This group of people underestimated the impact and maybe chose to not involve product managers. It's also possible that the decision was rushed because of recent layoffs or any other random event which pushed engineers to act quickly.

With the bad press, leadership got involved, decision to rollback was taken. In my team, we would have a retrospective doc to discuss the issue (not exactly a postmortem, as this process has specific requirements which would not be applicable to this case).

I think this is a easy mistake to do even with very good intentions, and I can see myself doing it.
You haven't answered the parent comment's request for your country, which is very relevant as things differ a lot.

Here in the UK (which is what the article is about), it is illegal for either (/any) gender to expose their genitals in public [1] - that is called "indecent exposure". Breasts are not genitals and it is not illegal to show them.

Admittedly, it would be very unusual to see a topless woman walking down a UK high street. But it is not that unusual to see one sunbathing on a beach. Probably the main factor restricting that is the attention she would get from people who do not object.

Breastfeeding in public is not only allowed but legally protected.

[1] That includes if you are on private land but have a reasonable expectation that you could be seen from a public location. I recall a court case a few years ago where someone was regularly nude in their kitchen but could clearly be seen from a public footpath. The court decided that it still counted as indecent exposure.
