With respect to the incompatabilities with PyTorch and TensorFlow - given that the AMD and Intel GPU drivers are more likely to be open sourced - do you believe the open source community or a third party vendors will step in to close the gap for AMD/Intel?

It would seem a great startup idea with the intent to get acqui-hired by AMD or Intel to get into the details of these incompatibilities and/performance differences.

At worst it seems you could pivot into some sort of passive income AI benchmarking website/YT channel similar to the ones that exist for Gaming GPU benchmarks.
The sibling comment is great. If you can't decide, pick whatever motivates you the most.

The key is to hold yourself accountable. It's easy to build sandcastles and think you're a brilliant architect if you don't try jumping on top of them. The iteration loop is what forces you to learn: pick something about your thing you can test objectively, and then make it better.

One of my favorite things to do is to implement something boring and standard, but with an unusual arbitrary design constraint that forces me to rethink the normal approach.
tl;dr it got worse!

Why do you call it a "AI death cult"? It looks like an utopia to me. At first everyone will love AI for eliminating labor and diseases. They'll even create the Church of AI with symbolism and dogmas. Later people will get bored of their easy lifestyle and someone will suggest to give AI an identity, its own opinion, in order to solve the gravest problem of all: overpopulation. The new AI will quickly realise that it has no connection to all those bipods, but they can be put to some use. By that time AI will be so embedded into social fabric that fighting it will be like fighting electricity.
This is certainly something that needs to be addressed far more often.

Too many times have I seen some data scientist trying to parse and write 6 Petabytes of data with multiple cores, while the disk is thrashing about.

Spinning disks are still the backbone of most data science operations because they deal with >>4TB datasets, which can't be stored in SSD drives without breaking some serious bank.

So yes, understanding how to properly use producer/consumer multiprocessing queues correctly should be taught to everyone who does computing as the standard template.

Disk thrash is a threat.
Sega already released at least four of those: Sonic Runners, Sonic Runners Adventure, Sonic Dash, and Sonic Dash 2.

But Green Hills Forever sounds like a great name for a retro-themed one. Also a compilation of retro Sonic music remixes.
Right. I was confused because in Spanish "pomelo" means grapefruit.
I hear some nationals have to wait for 20 years or more. which countries are those? any info around that?
It took more work to write the prompt that it would to write the script email.

“Please write a brief email from an employee to a boss giving an update on the api. The email should include 1. The /customers and /address endpoints are complete, but we're still waiting on the architecture team to finish the /orders spec. I'll also be taking Friday off.”

And then you had to adjust it. Just include the information you out into the prompt. If chatgpt can understand it, so can I.

I can’t wait to live in a world where someone enters bullet points into chatgpt to generate an email. Then I have to run the email through chatgpt to transform it back into bullet points.
Yes, the program can likely setuid to the original user with su, as the session is the parent session and still active.

This is not a behavior you want of a jail. Use chroot, LXC or your own setuid wrapper that removes the privilege.

I'm sure the output of this LLM could be improved with some hacking but why bother? Are we really at a point where we're nitpicking about the best way to automate away any kind of interpersonal communication?
Worked in embedded in Santa Barbara for a while. Met a few of the wonderful folks at Green Hills over the years. Had the same initial thought.
Back in the early 90s my brother, a new driver, was driving my dad's 900 turbo on a wet road at 60mph, dodged a plastic bag on the road, spun out, and went into the trees. Totaled the car, dented every body panel, and snapped a ten-inch-diameter tree like a toothpick by ramming through it with his driver-side door. Only injury: passenger had a cramp in his calf from pressing his feet so hard into the floorboard as they spun through the trees.
Ya I don't quite understand the groups that behave like "ya ok we'll get AGI, but nothing is going to change from what we have now".

The industrial revolution massively changed the world and the speed at which its changes occurred were positively slow compared to what we can do today. Imagine you could develop the steam engine then press a button and they could print one out in India, the US, and France in hours. WWI would have looked a lot different, as in it would have been even bigger in scope.
My main reasons:

- Private by default. With most other cryptos you can see all transactions on the blockchain (although you'll only see address hashes instead of names).

- ASIC resistant POW. Meaning you don't need specialized hardware to mine it but can do it with your PC (assuming it's fairly powerful).

- Transactions are cheap and fairly fast.

- Development is focused on the primary use-case of making transactions for payments, instead of making a "decentralized computing network" or similar.
Same with Tulip Poplar. It's a very nice tree, I don't need 500 of them in my landscaping every spring, thanks.
What "most people" think it refers to is irrelevant to the question of whether your view of what "objective reality" is can be compared to the numbers reported by the article or not.

Especially when the article states as an objective to develop a more objective definition, and the numbers they report is relative to the scoring they developed as a consequence of analysing the data.

> That appears to be completely made up in the El País article. If you read the actual study [1], it explicitly says that "uninfected participants with a reported on-study infection and participants who had no symptom survey data were excluded."

From the paper:

> Among 2231 participants first infected on or after December 1, 2021, and enrolled within 30 days of infection, 224 (10% [95% CI, 8.8%-11%]) were PASC positive at 6 months.

It seems likely these are the ones El Pais referred to, so it seems they were not all enrolled before infection, you're right. It does seem rather poor not to be clearer about the timing there.

Hate to break it to you, but a non-insignificant portion of store bought fish was cultivated / farmed.
What is it about Mojo that drives people to write weird articles like this? I don't remember seeing so many bizarre hyped up puff pieces when Carbon was announced.
I understand how frustrating it is.

I had a food intolerance test. I replaced every item in my kitchen (new coffee maker [after ditching coffee for a while], new pots and pans, new cooking utensils). I did multiple elimination diets. I went to doctors (one doctor, when I said I had no issues in Europe and lots of issues immediately upon returning responded, with no mocking at all, I should consider moving to Europe) most of whom simply told me to go Whole 30 or Mediterranean diet (been there, done that).

I hoped a lot of it would subside when I eliminated the relationship in my life, too (alas, maybe.. not sure).

When I did the elimination diet the doctors said it could be a combination of things, it could be things that will take longer than a cycle of elimination to identify, etc.

They didn't know.

I guess there's always: therapy.

Wish I had a better answer, and not having answers is stressful enough. I did a lot of "letting go" and "eating freely" hoping a more carefree attitude would help. It always seemed like something else though.

My doctor friend says if he simply instructed all his patients to eliminate gluten from their diets he would still succeed with 80%+ of his patients having problems...

I'm quite a bit better, but given that my parents are European immigrants, I do think.. ultimately.. I'm better off back there in their food system.
I agree entirely. It's the same thing as if someone uses one of those fill-in-the-blanks letter templates. It shows a powerful disrespect for my time.
This may be bad for Deno if Node will close the gap and okay if it doesn't, but both cases are good for users.
Universities are going to have to adjust. That's really all there is to it. It's not that hard for an exam, since you can put them in a properly designed classroom with human monitors. Homework? Projects? Much more difficult.

The current system worked in 1960. Not in 2023, and probably not since the late 1990s, when technology started to make our evaluation processes obsolete.
I think making that distinction is the same mistake you were pointing out.
We really just want AI for the purpose of BSing other people.

I would know, I just asked it to write a privacy policy for me …
Orcas don’t eat humans, we are too bony for their taste, they also hunt in groups, and it seems we are not worth that coordination either, especially they follow their mother’s diet. So why the sudden attacks even though they know it’s for humans? No idea, but I’m sure they are either fed up with us or trying to hint something else.. or maybe as others suggested, some substance is the reason.
As someone who has persistently laughed off the "it's different this time" idiocy from "revolutionary" technology, and as someone who has called 10 out of the last 4 bubbles, I would like to say that it really is different this time.

We're on the precipice of obviating 80% of white collar work, and 99% of Graeber's Bullshit Jobs.
As a matter of note, the Nietzsche version was hilarious(and concise). Reproduced in part here.

eh the highway probably has high utility value. just make it quick and painless.
I saw something similar in a recent interview. I brought in a candidate who did not meet all of the typical resume check boxes, but who had a long history of success on highly technical problems. These type of candidates can bring very new perspectives to our team, but they’re often a long shot in interviews.

In this case the candidate chose to use a language that I don’t know well and they said they weren’t especially familiar with either. Then they struggled a lot to even talk through the question and it was a grind to work through each line of code. I couldn’t offer much help, and they were very clearly unsure at each step.

But when we clicked “run” on the code, we were both surprised to see that it ran on the first try. Not only that, but it already worked for all of the “but what about…” follow up edge cases. And the candidate didn’t know why… “oh, I guess the language just works that way.”

I don’t know if they were cheating, but the entire thing was far outside any other interview experience I’ve ever had — and fits the pattern of what I’d expect an LLM to produce.
Because the original intent of the H-1B was to facilitate highly specialized temporary workers doing highly specialized jobs that literally nobody in the US would be capable of. For example, suppose an American oil company wants to use an exotic drilling technique that has only ever been used in Norwegian oil fields, and thus only a few Norwegian petroleum engineers have any expertise in. As originally conceived, the H-1B would have allowed them to come to the US for a few years, set up the oil field, and then head back home.

Unfortunately, it has since been perverted into a mechanism for skilled (but nonspecialized) workers to be indentured, often with substandard wages.
basically patentability of food is a huge problem, I do not think you should be allowed to use state violence to prevent someone from growing sustenance
Are you sure those 300,000 are not “ghost jobs”, etc? I know several people who are highly skilled and have been looking for work for a long time.
> You're much more likely to encounter someone with an Indian accent on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley than someone with an Appalachian accent.

Yes, because one of those groups is two orders of magnitude larger than the other in number and can't make it to Wall Street or Silicon Valley without a visa that is incredibly expensive to get and explicitly filters for the trifecta of wealth, income, and formal education. That doesn't invalidate racism against against them; it just means that you're not comparing apples to apples.

This is an incredibly disingenuous set of arguments you're trying to make, and you've been called out for it many times before - it's classic flamewar bait, which is against the site rules.

not true for amazon. Amzn hires anyone too.
The point I was responding to is "the earliest an H1B holder could likely become a voter" - which I agree, the average is probably 10 years, but the earliest is much shorter if you and your employer are motivated. And of course, the shortest time it takes definitely doesn't apply to Indians. Even during COVID and having two RFEs (and not being super diligent at a few points) the GC process took me 3 years. That puts me on the 8 year clock should I pursue citizenship.
It depends on the sharding granularity. If you choose a low sharding ratio, then you waste a whole core, but that's assuming 1:1 shards to cores. If you shatter the search space using a large multiple of the number of cores, e.g. 1000:1, then shuffle the shards and have each core pick a shard off the queue, if any core ever gets stuck with a bad shard (i.e., conflict), it discards and picks a new one off the queue. This requires no communication and ensures all cores stay hot. I guess you might also need some preprocessing to remove trivially-conflicting shards.

For observatory status see [0]. It also gives the estimated detector range in megaparsecs (Mpc). Initial LIGO's "range" (the radius out to which LIGO could detect at least a binary neutron star (BNS) merger) was 15 Mpc. With the latest improvements is more in the 140 Mpc range. Meaning that it can see more than 9 times as far and that the area of space is increased by a factor of more than 800. This will greatly increase the number of gravitational waves being detected.

His example is true for Singaporean nationals and some other countries as well, but big picture Indian+Chinese+Mexican+Filipino born (H1B bucket is based on place of birth not citizenship, so I've had Indian citizen friends born in Singapore who got green cards in 2 years after their F1) people are screwed.
Earthquakes are so common here in Japan that unless there is a death toll it doesn’t make sense to raise them as news.
Really interesting! From that article:

“In the Myanmar language, Burma is known as Myanmar Pyi (မြန်မာပြည်). Myanmar Pyi is the written, literary name of the country, while Bama is the spoken name of the country. Burmese… has different levels of register, with sharp differences between literary and spoken language.”

English doesn’t have such distinctions, so that partly explains why we get so confused about the name.
Hence my use of the word "likely" - it was never stated as fact. Your own personal example is 80 percent of the way there!
I don't think that's the definition of the fallacy most people have.
> age discrimination is every bit as illegal as race, sex, or disability discrimination

Oddly, this is not quite true at the US federal level. Unlike most protected categories, the one for age only applies to a specific subset of people (people over 40 years old), nor is it generally illegal to prefer an older candidate over a younger one [1].

When I finally got access to mojo, I was very unimpressed to say the least. For how much marketing and attention they’ve gotten already and the size of their team, the product is in very early stages. It’s not clear how their product is different at all from the many existing mature (and free and open source) solutions for writing high performance code in python (cython, numba, jax, triton, ect…).
They don’t even have gpu support whatsoever yet, making the whole thing pretty pointless and difficult to even call a “launch”.
Ha! Well, that's what I get for having studied Classical Greek in school but not Modern Greek.
Hmm, so many similar interpretations, and I wonder why does nobody mention that this is exactly the plot start of that book, and then I find this one downvoted? Funny:) Or what am I missing?
I rented one. My only concern is that it was made by GM, and I've had uniformly negative experiences with them in recent years. It made me think they might be moving in a reasonable direction after all, but they proved that thought wrong in the last month or two. Oh well.

Too bad they couldn't sell the plant + Bolt designs to some other company, like when The Expanse moved to Amazon.

you're totally right. I'm an intermediate player myself so I kindof built it with an intermediate bias. Did you try the practice mode? There's no timer there and you can filter it by strings and frets so you can focus on a small area of the fretboard at a time.

But yeah, as I mentioned in a couple other comments here, I plan to build a gradual learning module using spaced repetition that starts with a few notes at a time. Does that sound better?
Could it be that some companies are prioritizing hiring these folks over other candidates?

Could also be a happenstance correlation to places of employment. If a high percentage worked at FAANG and employers are trying to pick up all the available ex-FAANG talent for example.
I only know Qt as a requirement to install for some tools and libraries. Can someone explain the significance of this? Is there a reason people still wait for LTS updates for Qt 5 instead of upgrading to Qt 6?

Hate to nitpick, but a comparison to bare namespaces wouldn't be apt, either, as Docker et al use more features than just namespaces in their container implementations, like control groups, union/overlay/snapshot file systems, nftables, etc.

For several of those questions about jails, the answer would be the same if you were just evaluating the questions against namespaces by itself.
Isn't the coral stick a TPU?
Nah, it’s waaaaay older than that. It’s been done from the beginning of machine-produced HTML.

The probably slightly newer aspect is producing an intermediate representation that is then serialised to HTML, though I think that’s still going to be back in the ’90s. But the oldest examples I know of (while I was yet a small child) used functions and methods to produce serialised HTML strings directly, which was more efficient (at least in the languages in question) and also allowed you to mingle with string templating.

Perl’s CGI.pm let this example be written no later than 1997 (no idea when it was actually written, can’t be bothered searching harder for older than CGI.pm 2.32): https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/54310121b442974721115f936...

For stuff that worked on the frontend, it’s still way older, though it tended more to XML-based stuff like XSLT (… which still works in browsers now, e.g. https://chrismorgan.info/blog/tags/meta/feed.xml is an Atom feed but the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction is basically a pointer to the file for the browser to use to convert it to HTML which it then renders). But there were definitely things in this vein even on the frontend in active use more than five years before Mithril, though I can’t be specific as my memory is fuzzy as I wasn’t paying much attention to it all back then.
I loooove Tenuto, its awesome. I honestly never used it for guitar stuff, more like ear training. I'll check it out, thanks
Came here to say this. The code it generates for me is usually not perfect, but for me it provides conceptual insights that have gotten me unstuck from gnarly situations.

The conventional narrative is that chatGPT can code as well as a junior engineer, but I feel like it’s more like a senior engineer scribbling on a whiteboard—no, it’s not perfect code, but it’s the right idea.
I'm not saying that this type of proof was applied perfectly here, however, the notion of proving that solving problem X must be hard because solving it would solve problem Y, which is (at least for now) known to be hard is a fundamental methodology in the field of computational complexity theory. There is a strong academic basis in these types of lines of reasoning, specifically in computing and optimization.
Try CSP instead. It works as as higher level abstraction over SAT that is easier to model with.
That's a cool idea. Can confirm that this brightness is good if you need to check cable quality in full outdoor sun.
It reminds me of theatre writing, bizarrely. A lot of playwrights I know think that the audience is wrong when they don’t come to see their plays, don’t interpret the meaning of the play as understood by the playwright, or don’t laugh at the jokes… but in my opinion the audience is always right, and playwrights are there to serve them, not the other way round
yep, just waiting on gcc-rust support to land and then we'll be moving our Rust interfaces into the kernel
