I am both unhappy and excited. Hopefully Snowflake does something interesting that is consumer facing so I can utilize it.
But god I wish there was more innovation and competition in the premium search engine space; I was so happy with Neeva and excited for its future
Developing the capability to make nuclear weapons _at all_ is outrageously expensive, but once you can make one of them you can make hundreds for not significantly more cost, relatively speaking.
Google never agreed it wouldn’t copy Genius’ song lyrics, US official says
You could, I suppose, argue that the causal chains behind an LLM, are simply not the correct causal chains to produce reasoning, but that's a lot more complicated, mainly by the fact that we don't understand exactly what they are, and we don't understand the causal chains that produce human reasoning, so we can't confidently compare them other than on the largest of scales (LLMs are in silica, etc).

That, and it's not obvious why we should make this distinction. A cake that spontaneously assembles itself is still a cake, even if it doesn't have the usual causal history of a cake.

From the actual engineers that were posting on Twitter marginal is putting it lightly.

The quality, arrogance and ignorance of enterprise SDLC was akin to that of a 1st year grad.
All I did was point out that the greening earth as a result of more CO2 is a negative feedback loop, i.e. as the carbon content of the atmosphere increases, plants grow more and will sequester more CO2. Per the article I linked, over the past ~40 years, an area the size of the contintental US has greened and about 70% of that is attributable to CO2.

I didn't say the greening earth will totally offset climate change. You should ask yourself why you felt the need to spew nonsense in this thread. I find it baffling.
The bootstrap seed, https://github.com/oriansj/bootstrap-seeds/blob/master/POSIX..., is a tiny interpreter that takes a much larger program written in a special-purpose, bytecode-based language. This proceeds in turn once or twice more--special purpose program generating another interpreter for another special-purpose language--until you end up with a minimal Scheme interpreter, which then can be used to execute a C compiler program.

All of this is incredible work, but a minimal C-subset compiler in under 512 bytes of x86 assembly seems like a unique achievement as it includes non-trivial parsing and linking phases not required for that hex0 interpreter.
This is kind of like saying a transistor can't make a decision, all it does is pass electrons or not based on inputs.

The decisions happen because of how they're wired.
Have you considered getting a GPD Win 4? It's the same form factor and very modern PC specs.
You mean the pages are crowdsourced? I don’t think so because many pages are archived only upon request. If I ask to archive a new page, archive.is provides it very quickly. This is not possible if the archive is built from crowdsourced data.
Feel free to substitute it with print journalists, who over the last few decades have watched their careers vanish and replaced with something quantifiably less valuable to society.

I'm _not_ upset on Netflix's behalf. I have many friends who work in tv/movie production. So when I see people like you proudly talking about pirating tv and/or movies I'm offended on my friends' behalf (behalves?) because you're negatively impacting my friends. You might think you're just screwing over netflix, but you're not. You're screwing over a lot of people.
It's popovers all the way down!
What's more expensive: the data engineering staff you need to have on hand to optimize data loading and queries all to make sure your Snowflake/Databricks bill doesn't balloon out of control, or the staff to maintain your data on either cloud or self-hosted Clickhouse for equal or better query performance?

In a world of limitless VC money, one might choose the more familiar and battle-tested Snowflake dynamics every time... but the world is shifting quite rapidly, and the degree to which investment in a Clickhouse stack is much less likely to "trap" you in rapidly expanding spend on a more closed ecosystem is becoming notable.
Stone tablets are the only media I know of that lasts 1000s of years.

In all seriousness, this isn't a popular opinion around here, but cloud storage. I back my photos up to both iCloud and OneDrive. This way there is triple redundancy if you include the local copy. I trust Apple and Microsoft a lot more than myself to protect my data from spilled beverages, floods, fires, other acts of god, or just my own stupidity in general.
It was the introduction of paged memory management and a flat address space that allowed Unix like OSs to run on the 386.
No, penetration aids don't need any control system, they're literally just dumb pieces of metal. Of course they won't explode or be accurate at all, but that's irrelevant to soaking up interceptors which need to be a launched well before impact.

It's literally sending up some of the most sophisticated vehicles ever made by mankind to defeat mostly chunks of metal. Hence why even the US can't afford it in any meaningful quantities.

Everything on an interceptor is much more expensive because of the much higher performance requirements. But the fuel and structure will still be a lot cheaper compared to the rest of system.
Having lived in an affordable apartment and a house I don’t understand how living in a rented box in a building which you have no right to significantly modify is less cookie-cutter than owning a home which you can renovate and decorate to your liking, inside and outside, have a garden, host guests, etc.
Being an engineer at Twitter is much more akin to an enterprise like a bank or telco.

You need to be a team player and work across different groups e.g. Product, Testing, SRE etc in order to successfully get features into Production.

So being a talented engineer is useful but having high emotional intelligence and being able to negotiate and collaborate is far more important.
I think that was a great mission for the individual, George Hotz. It's beneficial to be humbled by complex systems and imposing bureaucracy -- it makes future endeavors better informed.

The cutting edge for graphics is all raytracing, and Nvidia still dominates. DLSS3, pathtracing, etc, these are for 'graphics', but heavily dependent on AI post processing, so Nvidia still rules.

So in the gaming market, Nvidia still commands a huge premium. No AMD card can play Cyberpunk on overdrive 4k.

I recently did the same thing with AWS, using the CDK to make it easy to add and remove regions [1]. I use it to hop my traffic around as required.

[1] https://blog.scottgerring.com/automating-tailscale-exit-node...
Like I said, there is too much call traffic for this.

Believe it or not, most non-US telcos don't have (or rather don't choose to have) the capacity to inspect and log every single phone call, because it's not a cost they want to bear for the tiny fraction of calls they might need to look at later.

In the US the govt forces major telcos to either log or copy calls over to the NSA, so it's different but they're never going to use that very sensitive expensive setup to go after scammers.

Even if they did, let's look at what would happen:

A US telco takes a call log that came into their network and tries to work back through the chain of international telco providers that routed the call, to find the source.

It's only a matter of time before they reach a telco in the chain that says "we don't have those logs sorry".

Plus, each telco along the way will charge the US telco for retrieving and providing those logs. No one works for free.

And then even if they get to the source, guess what? It was probably a fraudulent account with a stolen credit card, at a virtual reseller where no human interaction ever happened to set it up.

Sad trombone.
There are a lot, the most mainstream are going to fall under "socialism". But to give you a specific answer, check out "Alternatives to Capitalism: Proposals for a Democratic Economy". It's a debate between Robin Hahnel and Erik Olin Wright around their personal ideas.

More broadly speaking, any number of systems could compensate people for innovation and problem solving (note I don't think competition should be rewarded in its own right, and risk taking isn't necessary in many systems) by providing them an elevated quality of life.
The main difference to our capitalist system today is that rather than trying to accumulate as much personal capital as possible, value created from innovation would only go to the individual as needed to incentivize them. The rest would go to improving the world and lives of the people around them.
Of course this requires the individual have some agency in that improvement, which we find lacking in the Soviet Union or other failed communist states.

More deckchair rearrangement from Mozilla, sadly.
Good points? Whoever made that post reads too much into things that aren't even true:

* Long, sharp beaks are characterestic of nectar feeders, e.g. hummingbird, not "lethal predators".

* Hawk's beak is neither large nor particularly sharp; and while hawk is a deadly predator, and the new logo is hawk-like, I can't see the hawk as a bad thing;

* Everything else is purely subjective, too. "Dead white eyes convey malice"? OK.

Finally, re:"Message is mine, not yours"? Well, that's the entire point of an email client. It keeps the mail, it doesn't live on the server.

If that comes through the logo, then it's a job well done.

* Support damn Apple/Google Pay without requiring a email, phone number, login, or app! Or even allow that payment at the register, either before or after service.

* Include the table number in the code!

* Include any weekend/public holiday/service/surcharge in the prices! It makes sense not to print a new menu for 1 day a week, but this is digital and already implemented in your system!

* Don't forcefully 'suggest' a tip before service has been delivered! (in places where tips aren't customary/required).

* For fast food/take out places, include back-pressure in your ordering/time estimates. If there are 20 orders queued with one cook, don't give an estimate of 5 minutes!

* Ordering in your own time is amazing!

* Pictures are great!

* Being able to instantly remove "out of stock" items, perfect!

* Bill splitting "by default" is useful!
I’m not convinced ai driving can even work without GAI. Seems like a logical next step to the gigantic yak shave that is autonomous driving.
This is not about software obfuscation, this is about cryptographic indistinguishability obfuscation (iO). It's targeting a different problem -- software obfuscation is more about hiding program behavior, whereas iO is more useful for white box cryptography, like hiding an AES key.

Maybe you could obfuscate software eventually, but we don't have practical efficiency even for tiny circuits. It's a bit like saying how fully homomorphic encryption allows you to securely run "software" on someone else's computer: theoretically maybe yes, but in practice it's used within software to run very specific computations.

Exactly. It also would not be difficult for website operators to embed hidden user info in their served pages, thereby finding out the archive.is account. This approach seems risky for archive.is.
Obscurity is only a viable form of security until the patent holder becomes aware of you.
Systemd basically became its own in-place rewrite. Theres still a lot of thorns in it, but, for example, Debian's build of it just strips it down to only working parts; everything else is either optional or replaceable with pre-systemd parts.
Once a line of sight is established from the DE platform to the warhead, it is impossible to outrun this “speed of light interceptor.” No high G maneuver will work.

The speed of light isn't infinite. Between a satellite seeing the latest maneuver, sending data to a ground station, and a laser burst reaching its target, you've got at least 20 ms and quite likely as much as 100 ms. For a 1 G maneuver that's still going to get you within 10 cm of your target, which is just fine; but a 10 G maneuver could make you miss entirely.

A larger advantage of lasers is probably the opportunity for multiple shots: If you miss with a kinetic interceptor, it's too late to launch another, but if your laser misses you'll know in a matter of seconds and you can try again as soon as your capacitors are recharged.

Why were you happy with Neeva? I used it for several years and never saw much benefit. The sports results were quite bad. Recipes were decent. But in general felt myself unconsciously going to google for any complex queries.
My proposal is hardly a ban, simply charging people for the externality. It would be up to the manufacturer to think of an appropriate mechanism to allow for deposits. Simplest way would be to use cardboard lined with plastic but that has its own issues
This reminds me of a bugfix [1] I added to nmap almost a decade ago, where runtime interaction was previously broken due to interaction with sudo and signal propagation. Was a fun rabbit-hole to figure out why the issue was happening.

We use both MS SQL and Snowflake heavily. There are clearly instances where having row based storage is appropriate, and also instances where columnar storage outperforms. All based on your workload and not just marketing.

RClone takes care of uploading to it. Works out to barely over $1/TB/month and AWS takes care of the media lifetime and all that.

I didn't bother with burned disks because then the backups are too local to me, nevermind spanking TBs across multiple disks.

Like a torrent network but for training. That would be cool. The only question is how do you merge changes made by nodes (clients) across the network?

Clients could be incentivised to train as they are with crypto, but instead of mining, it's model training and in return they get "coin". Like making crypto mining useful.
QR code menus are extremely popular in countries that have wide digital payment adoptions, such as China.
Each QR code is linked to a table number. You take out your phone, turn on the camera with one click, scan the code, select the items you want to order, then click “pay”. It will take you to your digital payment provider (in China it’s often WeChat), which already has your payment info. Enter your PIN, and you’re done.

"Whatever you're most comfortable with" is the most common advice I've heard. If you're just starting out and have no significant experience in any stack, look at your requirements and see which supports it best out of the box. Nothing matters as much for a startup as being able to iterate fast!
I don't think anyone disagrees with you. Clickhouse and Snowflake are both OLAP; neither are row-based (OLTP).
So, I just tried this. I pasted 60 letter A's into GTP4 and asked it to count, it got it wrong, but I repeatedly said "count again" and nothing else, so as to not give it any hints. Here's GTP4's guesses along the way as I repeatedly said "count again".

69, 50, 100, 70, 68, 60, 60, 60, 60 (GTP gathered its own guesses into this list for me BTW)

It seems if GTP is given "attention" enough, it can do the counting. But it cannot direct its attention freely, only as we give it instruction to do so.

I just did it again with 66 letter A's. Guesses were: 100, 100, 98, 67, 66, 66, 66, 66 -- GTP4 again settled on the correct answer. I also burned though my prompt quota for the next 3 hours :(

Also, as a GTP style challenge, how many numbers are in this message? You have half-a-second, go!
You're wrong on that second part. The arrests happened before the strike. I'm disappointed how many media outlets obscured this point in favor of the narrative.
In theory pytorch compiler can boil down to 50 or so fundamental functions and tinygrad IR to 12. So possibly you could just re-map a fairly limited set of base instructions. Devil’s in the details though..

There isn't really any evidence he was humbled by the experience.
Yeah that's just not how it works, sorry.

Look I get it, you've imagined a very reductive simple solution to a hugely complex problem and I know it makes sense to you, but you're really drifting into the Dunning-Kruger zone here..

Telcos are hugely, stupidly, complex operations, and all the international inter-connectivity between them even more so.

You can do whatever you want of course, but perhaps consider just trusting me when I say if this was as simple and effective as you put it, it would have been done by now.
I wonder if the compiler could be adapted to target other platforms, such as desktop, mobile, WebAssembly, or WASI?

TypeScript is a wonderful language to develop in, and it would be awesome to be able to build TypeScript code down to small apps that don't need a JS Runtime to execute. I'd definitely be up for sacrificing some of the dynamic part of JS for being to build small native executables.

I agree that country music is more conservative. But what does that have to do with gender of singers? Are conservative men more likely to sing country songs? Or not listen to women singers? Or are there more men that listen to country music.

I expect that conservative people are also split 50% women just like most other large groups.

Decoupled scales, but you end up replicating the dataset in compute node caches, which is expensive.

Ideally you want scalable storage with compute (assuming really large datasets), so you can move the computation, which usually is small, close to the data.

In any case, it's not one size fits all, and each problem space matters.
For background, "geohot", is George Hotz, who's a known hacker / tech personality[0]

This project fits the pattern of his previous projects: he gets excited about the currently hot thing in tech, makes his own knockoff version, generates a ton of buzz in the tech press for it, and then it fizzles out because he doesn't have the resources or attention span to actually make something at that scale.

In 2016, Tesla and self-driving cars led to his comma one project ("I could build a better vision system than Tesla autopilot in 3 months"). In 2020, Ethereum got hot and so he created "cheapETH". In 2022 it was Elon's Twitter, which led him to "fixing Twitter search". And in 2023 it's NVIDIA.

I'd love to see an alternative to CUDA / NVIDIA so I hope this one breaks the pattern, but I'd be very, very careful before giving him a deposit.
