In my experience, probably at least a 200-400 lines of C (another 512 bytes minimum? I don't know the conversion).

The problem is not just declaring structs but accessing them, referencing them, accessing/referencing fields and subfields, etc. That has to all be in the syntax. For such a minimal project you can ignore initialization.

I did all this while adding maybe 500 lines of C to GitHub.com/vitiral/fngi. Never tried for this level of minimalism though.
It also depends on how many trash cans are around. If there are a few (and you know where to get to them) a bucket can be dumped multiple times.

Otherwise you want something bigger, preferably on wheels. Though you can do the classic where you fill bags and leave them by the road and come back later to pick them up in a vehicle.

You can even get permission from the city to drive down bike paths to pick them up, though a cart on a bike would probably work as well.
I remember when the PSP came out, and we thought it would have been cool if it had a phone in it, as the form factor was pretty close to landline phone headsets. other people complained it was too big for that purpose. hindsight and all, but it's funny that it's close in size to some phablets.

I think more importantly the lack of agency implies reasoning is impossible.

You can argue our brain is also an expectation based optimizer based on gradient descent producing a most likely response to external and internal stimulus. It’s definitely lossy in its function and must be optimizing the neuronal weights at some level. But reasoning, being a seeking of the truth through method and application of conscious agency, can not be had by a model without any form of autonomous agency. The model only responds to prompts and can not do anything but what it’s determined to do by the prompt, and the prompt is extrinsic to the model.

I’d note that we have already built excellent goal based agent AIs, as well as other facilities required for reasoning like inductive, deductive, and analogical reasoning. Generally we aren’t good at abductive reasoning with classical AI, but LLMs seem to do well here. That’s specifically where I think LLM fill in the reasoning gaps in AI - the ability to operate in an abstract semantic space and arrive at likely and plausible solutions even with incomplete knowledge. This also leads to hallucinations - because they are poor at tasks that require optimization, inductive and deductive reasoning, information retrieval, mechanical calculation, etc.

But it’s really pretty obvious the answer is to mix the models in a feedback loop deferring to the model that most makes sense for a given problem, or some combination. Agency, logic, optimization, abstract semantic reasoning (abductive), etc - they’re all achievable with the tools we have now. It’s just a matter of figuring out the integrations.
I would be surprised if it used helical recording. Data tape recorders rarely do because it's much more complex, increases tape wear, and the use cases don't usually demand that kind of linear bandwidth.

Good idea. I don't think George Hotz has the skill set to actually deliver on a lot of this stuff (specifically I suspect trying to replace the compiler for the GPU is something that he will probably make a song and dance about with some simple prototype but then quietly scrap it because even for AI workloads its still a very very tricky problem) but he has the strength of vision to get and direct other people to do it for him.

Is there any reason this would be more possible with a rocket than with, say, a plane? It has to land slow enough that the passengers survive, and during that process it can be spotted and shot down, or surrounded.

I mean I’m definitely in favor of getting some sci-fi style orbital drop troops, but I think it will require some development beyond the rockets; we’ll need to figure out how to get people who can survive a bunch of extra G’s.

I think if productivity is high enough then there should just be fewer working hours.

Edit: I also want to be clear that I don't really think about productivity as an instantaneous measure, but more of an average over time. Someone (at home or at work) who is "coasting" in my opinion is someone who is rarely, if ever, productive. Someone who is productive is someone who gets good work done every week or month or whatever unit of time is relevant to the job at hand. What you do with this 5 minutes or that hour isn't really as important, IMO.
Desktop PC with a 12th gen Intel CPU, which has a TPM 2.0 module. I don't use Windows Hello though.

So are you saying I need to change how I log into Windows to be able to use this website / security method? I didn't really trust Windows Hello because of all the junk they bundle with Windows now. I just assumed it had some angle to it.

I'll have to do some more reading into how this works. So far this seems much more complex than a password though. If the browser is just generating a keypair and sharing the public key, you'd think that would be possible without any specialized hardware chips or USB keys.

I certainly don't want cameras inside my own house or office. But surveillance of public spaces (including public transit) is a good thing. We need public spaces to be safe because they provide cultural, economic, social, and climate benefits. In the absence of safety, people retreat to their houses. And they drive instead of taking transit.

What is the cost of an equivalent setup using A100s?

I have no idea what I am doing but here goes!

By [1] we have 156 FP16 TFLOPS, taking their non "*" (* = with sparsity) value. So you need 5 So $40,000? pls the other stuff, and someone to make a profit putting it together say $50,000?

So this setup is 3 times cheaper for the same.

If I am allowed to use the sparsity value it is 1.5 times cheaper.

I'm very unaware exactly what the issue is with this particular case, so be gentle, but what is the difference between the government agencies doing their job to stop criminals, and evil rights-destroying which it sounds like you are clearly convinced is what's going on?

Let's say someone stole your identity and in the process they emailed all your financial documents to example.anon12345(at)gmail. If you contacted the police and the FBI subpoenaed Google to force them to give them the details of whatever they know about that accountholder, is that bad and hurting the rights of somebody, or is it protecting your rights?

Does it change based on the despicableness level of the crime suspected? From one count of copyright infringement of a Taco Bell commercial, to organized retail theft rings, to identity theft, to CSAM, to terrorism?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious what the "We hate subpoena power" argument is so I can decide where I stand on it. I feel mildly like I'm not as bothered as you are, but I suspect I'm missing something.

Also, should "online" operate under different rules than offline? If the "feds" have probable cause that some guy is a drug kingpin and they break into his office and his safe to seize evidence, is that equally bad as forcing Google to open up his Gmail account for them?

My understanding is that flash memory does not do very well at all for long term unpowered data retention. flash memory is basically a capacitor(it is not really a capacitor but close to one) and will loose it's charge after a few years.

And magnetic drives will seize up. and optical disks get oxidized, and tapes stick together. long term archiving is a tricky endeavor.

It is however an interesting challenge. I think I would get acquainted with the low level protocol used by sd cards. then modify a microcontroller sdmmc driver to get me an image of the card(errors and all). that is, without all the scsi disk layers doing their best to give you normalized access to the device. Or more realistically, hope someone more talented than me does the above.

> do you need to know anything about Roman culture to understand Latin grammar? No.

But you do need to be fluent in Roman culture to understand Latin jokes, puns, similes, metaphors, and all the other things that go into meaning.

For a more modern example: Observe how British English can turn almost any noun into an insult in much the same way that this just doesn't work in American. Or how a Californian can say "this is not my favorite" and we all know they mean "this is awful". Or how Australians can use "you c*nts" as a term of endearment, but Americans cannot. Meanwhile Americans can use motherf*cker as both a term of endearment and an insult depending on situation.

And who could forget the subtle difference between "You are shit" and "You are the shit". Where does that show up in grammar?

edit: oh here’s a good one! The phrase “I love you” changes meaning when you say it to family, friends, coworkers, strangers, performers on stage, etc. Some languages even use different words for those meanings, but they all translate to “love” In English.

You absolutely cannot understand the full meaning of language without understanding the speaker’s context.

So why not just fix AMD accelerators in pytorch? Both ROCm and pytorch are open sourced. Isn't the point of the OSS community to use the community to solve problems? Shouldn't this be the killer advantage over CUDA? Making a new library doesn't democratize access to the 123 (fp16-)TFLOP accelerator. You fix pytorch and suddenly all the existing code has access to these accelerators. Millions of people now have This then puts significant pressure on Nvidia, as they can't corner the DL market. But it is a catch-22 because the DL market already is mostly Nvidia so it takes priority. Isn't this EXACTLY where OSS is supposed to help? I get Hotz wants to make money, and there's nothing wrong with that (it also complements his other company), but the arguments here seem more for fixing ROCm and specifically the pytorch implementation.

The mission is great, but AMD is in a much better position to compete with AMD. They caught up in the gamer's market (mostly) but have a long way to go for scientific work (which is what Nvidia is shifting focus to). This is realistically the only way to drive GPU prices down. Intel tried their hand (including in supercomputers) but failed too. I have to think there's a reason that's not obvious to most of us as to why this is happening.

Note 1:

I will add that supercomputers like Frontier (current #1) do use AMDs and a lot of the hope has been that this will fund the optimization from two places: 1) DOE optimizing their own code because that's the machine that they have access to and 2) AMD using the contract money to hire more devs. But this doesn't seem to be happening fast enough (I know some grad students working on ROCm).

Note 2:

There's a clear difference in how AMD and Nvidia measure TFLOPS. techpowerup shows AMD at 2-3x Nvidia, but performance is similar. Either AMD is crazy underutilized or something is wrong. Does anyone know the answer?

I see a lot of people talking about examples, and while having more of them could be good, I think the actual problem with most modern man pages is a lack of clear description of program behaviour.

I am nowhere near old enough to have used an old Unix implementation, but the man pages back in those days just hit different. just compare how the ls man page starts for the GNU and Unix V7 version.

GNU: "List information about the FILEs"

Unix V7: "For each directory argument, ls lists the contents of the directory; for each file argument, ls repeats its name and any other information requested."

The GNU man page's description continues with one sentence on default ordering before getting to the list of arguments. The only mention ls lists diretory contents is in the description of the -d flag (the flag to make it not do that). The GNU man page also goes on in detail avout the time formats supported by the command, but nowhere does it have anything to say about the format of -l info.

Trying to read modern man pages is like trying to read a library documentation where only the parameteres and return values for function are documented, but no description of the function in itself is given.
