Apple’s chips are on better process nodes, which confuses the issue. That being said, you really have to test chips at the same power level to get an idea of performance per watt in a comparison.

You can easily double CPU power for only a few hundred MHz or 10-20% extra performance.

See https://www.pcworld.com/article/1359352/cool-down-a-deep-div..., which benchmarks chips at different power limits for an example.

As written, my comment is flawed. I should clarify what I meant. Let me rewrite it.

> moral relativism is intellectually bankrupt

There are three forms of moral relativism (see my other comment).

I agree with descriptive moral relativism in a sense, even though I think practically there are huge swaths of overlap between most well-known ethical/religious systems.

I don’t think I’m willing to categorically dismiss meta-ethical moral relativism (MMR), but in practice, I find it unpersuasive at best, delusional in most cases, and dishonest at worst.

Say you find a meta-ethical moral relativist (MMR). You present them with a set of hypothetical moral dilemmas. They will claim there is no objective
ethics to guide us.

I accept this as a philosophical position; however, if that person were immersed in the dilemma and had to choose, they will choose. (Note: doing nothing is a choice.)

Their choice will reveal their “private” morality, which is certainly not completely relative. That person won’t agree with any ethics that say it is ok to kill them (under a scenario where they have done nothing wrong) for example. If it was a real situation, they would use various means at their disposal to protect their life: fleeing, fighting, or negotiating.

So, while perhaps the MMR person claims that it is ok for an ethical system to endorse killing them, but they would act differently from that belief.
Lol, well there goes 60mb of mobile data for some people...
Very cool, it seems we almost came up with the same approach of components/templates. In your framework, it is referenced with a data-template attribute. In Reken, I use a data-component attribute.

One of the design goals for Reken was to not have to context-switch while coding, to not lose my train of thought (Guess my short-term memory is limited). Hence try to add everything inline in the HTML file. Also I'm working on a tailwind-like css inlining framework (compatible with Reken). Together these give me dynamic DOM and styling inline.

Those results just say what I did, that DCM is used as the working solvent in some cases and trace amounts can remain. The FDA limit is 10ppm in coffee, and for contrast occupational exposure limits are 100-200 ppm in an 8 hour working period. NO HARM has been seen to come to people exposed to those levels, routinely, in their work.

You might as well worry about the radioactivity of a banana.
None of the significant security vulnerabilities that I can remember have been "deep" - subtle things that require extensive familiarity with the specific codebase and could never have been found by a drive-by contributor, which is the idea that ESR is refuting. Debian keygen bug? Dumb one-liner. Heartbleed? Dumb one-liner. Goto fail? Technically a logic bug, but a two-line thing that could be understood by reading that one file without any additional context.

I've seen cases where exploitation was complex, but even then, that tends to be because the full exploit is chaining together several bugs, each of which is individually simple and could be fixed by a drive-by contributor.
Training uses gradient descent, so you want to have good precision during that process. But once you have the overall structure of the network, https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.17323 (GPTQ) showed that you can cut down the precision quite a bit without losing a lot of accuracy. It seems you can cut down further for larger models. For the 13B Llama-based ones, going below 5 bits per parameter is noticeably worse, but for 30B models you can do 4 bits.

The same group did another paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.00774 which shows that in addition to reducing the precision of each parameter, you can also prune out a bunch of parameters entirely. It's harder to apply this optimization because models are usually loaded into RAM densely, but I hope someone figures out how to do it for popular models.

I'm very confused by your comment - where does the language of the bill say anything about _banning_ medical procedures? And do you get the impression that there are a lot of (or any) doctors in Florida qualified to expel dead fetuses who would prefer to refuse that medical procedure? Or is this just a very detailed straw man?

You sound like a person who has no clue about frontend development. I know, because I used to speak the same way before going full-stack. It's not bad to not understand things, but I think it's bad to not understand things and have loud opinions about it.

If you seriously see no reason in using frontend technologies, you are free to pick whatever you like best. But then you act like you are smarter than a whole industry - which I doubt.

> just download some other dudes code

How is that different from using a library?

> package/import stuff is light years better than any TS or ES script

So your critizing the TS module system? I don't know. I don't have issues with that.

It's really hard to follow you as you are constantly topic-hopping. Would really help if you named some examples of why TS is so bad.

I can only tell you from my experience that having one language for frontend and backend reduces the amount of context switches as a dev and leads to a faster feedback cycle. Eventually, adding business value becomes easier and that is what it's all about. Not some weird culture wars about languages.
"vandalism"

I am not sure "vandalism" is the right term, when it comes to damaging a prison wall for a whole nation.

It was a symbol of fear and oppression. People were shot at the wall every year, so sure, not everyone (or maybe only a few) who joined, were freedom fighters or deeply philosophical about the meaning of what they were doing. But it still was a liberating act, doing something that likely would have got you shot, just the day before. No matter if you would have tried it from the western or eastern side.

(even though of course, it was more likely from the eastern side, the western side was already full of graffiti, but actually damaging the wall, also from the western side, would have not been very dangerous. People did do this to help people flee the east on purpose. And some of those helpers did get shot.)

Yes on the way in and on the way out. They mostly give three hours free parking so if you are there for less than that you don't have to do anything. If you exceed that you go to a ticket machine, type in your registration number and pay for the extra time before you leave. In fact my favourite one will just send you the bill in the post if you forget, but they will charge small admin fee for that (not a fine). If you remember when you get home you can pay online.

I had something like this happen once too.

“Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking. I’m not feeling well. The first officer will be landing the plane as soon as possible.”

I was quite surprised how quickly they can safely and smoothly lane a plane when there’s urgency. We were at the gate with paramedics waiting within 10-15 minutes from cruise altitude, and we still had to backtrack 100 miles or so to the airport.

Overall delay was only about 2 hours which was mostly finding another pilot on short notice.
If the instructions are on average 3-4x less dense (take about that much more space) than the trade-off in associativity granularity and corresponding increase in cache size are logical. The logical management circuits would be around the same size, though the number of memory cells and corresponding cost in silicon, power / thermal, and signal propagation / layout issues remain.

I think metalworking also has the longest history of sophisticated development in current day Northern Europe. The dispersion on the map I think re-enforces both that history and the notion of a portfolio piece.
Adding more layers of process is not how you prevent the same kind of screw up from occurring.

A better approach is to automate the process in a way that the manual mistake is no longer possible.
A book I like on this general topic is The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error by Sidney Dekker.

He's writing from the perspective of investigations after airliner crashes. His core point is that you shouldn't be looking for who to blame in a punitive sense (assuming nothing malicious has happened), but rather how policies and procedures allowed the error to happen. The human is just the last domino in the chain. Accountability ultimately lives with management that establishes policies and procedures. But management often does't like that idea, because yelling loudly and sacking someone feels like you're being proactive, even though in the net it makes another error more likely.
If you can infinitely divide a ruler, you can measure nothing.

we only stop because it’s convenient to stop. But that doesn’t make the size of anything have any specific size other than where we stop measuring it.
> The more data you train it on (and the larger and therefore more capable he model is), the better it performs - i.e the more complete and consistent this world model has evidentially become.

Increasing training data doesn't increase consistency. Each data point acts as a potential new axiom, and each axiom decreases consistency. GPT-4 is trained to satisfy humans, and humans are wildly inconsistent. Even if humans were perfectly consistent, attempting to satisfy multiple different humans simultaneously results in inconsistency. Additionally, even if GPT-4 were perfectly complete and consistent it still wouldn't have reached this state autonomously. So the difference between GPT-4 and intelligence, by my definition, is night and day.

> FWIW GPT-4, being a neural net, is more analog than not. It's driven by floating point values not 1's and 0's.

Floating points are digital 1's and 0's. Adding more digits is never going to make something analog.

> The values are imperfectly calculated (limited accuracy) as computer math always is.

Agreed.

>There is also a large element of pure randomness to the output of any of these LLMs.

Strongly disagree. There isn't a single element of randomness during the training stage. We know the exact architecture of the neural net, we know the exact data it was trained on, and we know the exact beam selection algorithms used to synthesize outputs. Every single step can be simulated, traced, and recreated to achieve the exact same results. The number of steps involved might overwhelm us, but that doesn't make it random.

> They don't get to control exactly what words they generate

We do get to control it, we just lose track of the inputs and then pretend it was all out of our control. But of course every single step was willed and controlled by us. We call it "random" for personal convenience, not because its actually true.

Like many American commenters (I'm guilty of this as well), we assume a US-centric viewpoint a lot online.

You're right that these positions are not left leaning worldwide. Unfortunately, they are very much left-leaning viewpoints in the US. There are still more than enough voters on the right who genuinely believe the converse that they need to be catered to by right wing politics. And, on the other hand, left wing politics needs to put significant effort into fighting and refuting objections. Arguably, this puts more strain on the left, which might be another factor perpetuating all this.
There's no technical reason it has to be run locally.

It's not like paper authors get any kind of royalties. Some journals even make you pay to publish.

If someone did present evidence that they oceans were not warming, they would be shouted down. Therefore, the claim the oceans are warming is not falsifiable. Therefore there can be no scientific position taken on whether the oceans are warming or not.

I completely agree with you about C&B. Even at the time, it felt to me mostly like a restatement of the zeitgeist. But Raymond was very influential at the time and was apparently one of the reasons Netscape released Mozilla as free software.

I also agree that “release early and often”, in particular, was a significant contribution, if not for originality then for reach. Not everyone was exposed to XP at the time, but ESR seemed to be everywhere. And for my part, the main take away from XP had been around pair programming which as a startup myself, I wasn’t into/couldn’t afford/didn’t subscribe to anyway.

But I do feel your comments about XP and agile miss the mark a tiny bit. XP was developed by Kent Beck - who went on to be one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto. Perhaps because of this, XP is considered an agile practice.

But agile is really just a set of values and principles. There are many practices that people claim as “agile”, many of which do not meet the criteria of the agile manifesto (I’m looking at you, SAFe).

I think in some ways, C&B was a precursor to the Agile Manifesto, which itself it arguably just a restatement of principles and practices that already existed.

(My limited personal experience with engineering in large traditional companies is that the manifesto is ignored, commercial practices and consultants who slap “agile” stickers on their traditional SDLCs still rule - and it is still, largely, the dark ages. I was heavily criticised for using a CD strategy for some enterprise software at the same brand name company that required me to enforce password rotation… in 2018).

Yeah, it's an open secret that apex is just a way for the primes to squeeze out another drop from their current suppliers. Who themselves are basically stuck with the prime they're servicing because of the surreal[1] business and product requirements.

The IIP is, so far as I can tell, just plain exploitive. A good way to hire techs for 15 bucks an hour. But I haven't been under them directly.

I am gonna switch hats here, which is weird, because I am almost always on the side of suppliers and maintainers in this frickin' monkey farm. But devil's advocate. You might ask yourself, "what kind of small supplier is going to sign up for some cockamamie requirement that forces them to change all their business systems for a single customer?" The answer to that question is, "a desperate one", and maybe sometimes following that, "a supplier that maybe isn't really that good". Porque no los dos?

I'm specifically thinking of a anti-IED-thing that got attention around 2005. Some poor Marine started buying this off the shelf widget to save his and his buddies' lives. A big prime got wind of this, screamed and yelled, and immediately sourced their version of this thing from some supplier who turned out to be a Turkish-Russian-Singapore manufacturer. The DoD slapped the Prime playfully on their taint, then the prime turned right around and literally BOXED THE RUSSIAN BOX INSIDE THEIR BOX. Ship it! I swear I am not kidding. And yeah, it didn't work either. Meanwhile the original widget maker had gone on to other things - something to do with cell tech, I think. Good call.

Another small supplier, right around the same time frame, again bought directly by desperate Marines, this time it lasted for maybe a few months before a prime went up the Hill and cried hard enough for it to get pulled out of the line. The supplier got hoovered up for some cash. Well, very neat tool, right? Now it's got some capital to grow! Do you know how that tool's doing today, after making the prime well in excess of a billion dollars? It's EXACTLY THE SAME. The prime bought this cool doodad, and then they sat on it for nigh-on twenty years, sucking down that cash, still selling the same box of parts kludged up by hacker kids twenty years ago. Now with a few extra semi trucks of paperwork.

Anyway. The ones that go the distance with the primes maybe are not the creme de la creme, is what I'm saying. If you're lucky you'll get a tiny crew of burnout cases and retirees. If you're unlucky you get the Matrioshka Box of ITAR Violations and 20 year old software bugs. And if you're REALLY unlucky the prime buys you and you get to watch your product die slow from a prime latched onto its arteries.

[1] I'm not sure I can describe some of these requirements without sounding like a crazy person to those outside the industry. Stuff like switching your entire ERP - for s single contract - a single five year contract. Anyway, crazy. So let's leave it there: folks who are inside, you know what I'm saying; folks outside, take my word for it, it's absolutely crazy.
It's avoiding the problem by separating control and data, at unknown but signficant cost to functionality (the LLM which determines what tools get invoked doesn't see the actual data or results, only opaque tokens that refer to them, so it can't use them directly to make choices). I'm not sure how that qualifies as "security by obscurity".

I used to think it was good prose, simplicity, clarity, etc. that matters most. Those do, but what matters more is finding the right audience that will be most receptive to your work. Try sharing a pro-Marxism article on an an-cap forum, or a pro-capitalism article in a Marxist forum, you're going to have a bad time, or at least create unnecessary obstacles to success.

Simple means getting rid of extra words. Don’t write, “He was very happy” when you can write “He was happy.” You think the word “very” adds something. It doesn’t. Prune your sentences.

By this logic, most popular writers and bloggers not be as successful as they are, such as Moldbug. Simple , strait-forward writing does not mean more successful, viral writing. If you're writing a how-to guide or an investment pitch, maybe simple is better, but expository writing does not need to be simple
