Who would have ever predicted back in the 90s that Apple of all companies would be the last commercial UNIX workstation vendor.

For gaming do matter those double precision. And we were talking about a certain GPU, which is used for gaming, not AI. Hence why the AI chips exists in the first place - dedicated hardware for dedicated tasks (or ASIC for short)
Does anyone know of a PCIE 5 SSD designed for sustained read/write? Most of these new drives are meant for short bursts of data transfer, I can’t imagine water cooling would be necessary for most drives.
Great insights. The gaming experience and pathfinding relationship can also be expanded to game AI in general. I found Lars Liden's slides specifically mentioning "intelligence! = fun". So, for a better gaming experience, it is better to dumb down the AI.

> Lending money to a business is essentially the same as investing in it anyway.

They’re very clearly not the same, debt and equity are separate things that serve different purposes. And yes, I am aware of convertible bonds and other forms of combined debt/equity instruments.

Debt is senior to equity in bankruptcy filings. A troubled company will pay its lenders and bondholders before paying dividends to its equity investors.

There has always been debt, society can’t function without it. “Lend me seeds now so that I may grow a crop and pay you back at harvest time” is a form of debt that has been around as long or nearly as long as agriculture has.

That is categorically false. Not only does Amazon's RDS do that (can't find where they say that, might have been at reinvent one year) but for other services like Fargate they used to waste way more resources due to instance single tenancy, until they adopted Firecracker: https://d1.awsstatic.com/events/reinvent/2019/CON423-R1_REPE...
I've lived in SF for about half a century. I've also read up on the history of SF.

What you're saying about "Urban homelessness is ... not even a new phenomenon to San Francisco!" is very much true, at least since the Gold Rush. I believe our Emperor Norton III was, technically, by modern standards, homeless, although the city was his palace.

What changed was the influx of more-or-less normal people. San Francisco has served as a kind of "drain" for the crazies of the rest of the nation since 1849 right up until the late 90's and the "Dot Com boom". Then e.g. Twitter was tricked into opening their office in the middle of skid row and techie culture and "the street" got to rub shoulders daily and it was not so great, eh?

I've come to believe that OP has got the right idea: Civic Center and the Tenderloin should be condemned and razed, just like Kowloon. The issue is what to do with the people living there now?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City

(BTW there have been cities w/o homelessness but they are rare. "We've always had a homeless population in our cities going back to the invention of the city." this is another meme that needs to die, eh?)
I have setup a PRI to SIP channel before using elastix (now discontinued and bought by 3CX I think).

This needs investigation, but - Over the top of my head, I think you could probably have some kind of a 4G/5G modem hooked on to an SBC (Pi, APU, etc.) and then forwarded to your SIP line which you can pick over IP (Internet), this should work.

One of the child comments mentioned DID (Direct Inward Dialling). I am no expert, but if your Australian provider supports something similar, you will get the number (friend) who is dialling in, instead of your own Australian number dialling in to your receiver phone. This is useful for caller ID, otherwise it's just like a forwarded call.

Hope this helps.
A bunch of things could go wrong - China gets involved, Russia wipes Ukraine off the map, war sets in to Easter Europe for a generation. Escalating towards using nukes. Russian command decides that they need to take over all of Ukraine in the long term and not just the Eastern half.

NATO weapons being used on Russian soil would be another new line being breached. At some point there will be a bigger reaction than what we've seen so far.
The SoC IP used in ASUS's Tinker V deliberately violates the virtual memory spec in a way that affects userspace, rendering certain virtual addresses unusable. This region overlaps with the default base address of position-dependent executables, so those cannot and will not run on it unless rebuilt with a different explicit base address.
Napkin math is an underestimated skill indeed.
If only there was an equivalent for building your own home GSM/LTE network. When around the house, I would love to connect to my own private cellular network. Not only is coverage poor where I live, but this would allow me to route calls in sophisticated and useful ways, because the backplane of modern cellular networks is VoIP.

Upskilling’s Greenfield Problem
According to the one-page datasheet of a Foxconn M.2 M-key socket, maximum current per pin is 0.5 A (they're tiny, after all). Since M.2 M-key has a total of nine pins carrying 3.3 V this would limit power to 15 W before any heat dissipation considerations plus connector derating because the toasty SSD is heating the connector up.

The main difference is humans can be held accountable of these things, where as an AI system cannot be held accountable as it is not a human.

Accepting unchecked AI systems at scale as the future is plain fantasy in the view of regulator, especially in very high risk industries which is why it makes no sense for anyone to trust these systems without any assistance.

Web Performance Snippets
I could argue that most tasks can be accomplished, but they may not be worth pursuing due to the cost and effort involved. It is astonishing to see how many global issues are political rather than technical, with groups often opposing or preventing the resolution or improvement of the problem.

Based on my life experience, I have learned that small actions can lead to significant outcomes, whereas starting with grand endeavors often leads to mental stagnation and lack of progress.

For instance, let's consider the challenge of addressing climate change and global warming. This is a complex issue composed of numerous interconnected problems. It becomes challenging to determine where to start, which aspect to tackle first, and from which angle to approach it. However, if we narrow our focus to a smaller component, such as plastics recycling, we gain more clarity. We can explore existing initiatives like the cleanup of the Pacific's floating garbage patch or the utilization of otherwise unrecyclable plastics in making blacktop pavement. This narrowed focus provides us with a direction to follow.

If we want to address emissions, a core aspect of combating global warming, the best technical approach would likely involve improving batteries that don't rely on rare metals. I've heard of advancements in saline-based and bacteria-grown batteries. By restricting the scope to batteries, we can identify specific areas to investigate. By avoiding broad and vague objectives, individuals can offer recommendations, share knowledge, and contribute effectively to the cause. If we remain with a large and vague goal it's very hard to make any progress at all.

Couple things to consider

1. Check your competitors who return json and see if they have a Location header 301'ing or 302'ing all their traffic to your service (if the client follows redirects).

2. Reverse dns lookup your origin ips and see if anyone has a domain's dns pointed at your service. Check the Host header on your end and make sure it's your domain as well as ensure your web server and/or proxy are not blindly accepting traffic for `*`/any host, and make sure it's serving only your host

3. Ip address headers can be spoofed. It might not be coming from where you think it's coming from
The M.2 sockets on motherboards don't exactly have great cooling, and SSDs don't usually even come with radiator.

The positioning can also be pretty iffy, mine have one next to CPU, another just under GPU (no chance getting fan there) and those are the "fast" (directly connected to CPU) ones!

The another 2 slots are again under GPU (one filled with wifi/bt card), and only last 2 are far away from other hot components and get its own heatsink. but those are not directly connected to CPU

Julian Jaynes' The Origin Of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind uses a comparative analysis between Iliad and Odyssey to explain his theory.

In short, he says that for a long while we had two relatively separate functions acting together in the brain: the planner and the doer. The planner would be represented by gods, god-kings, or any other form of authority whose voice and sometimes image would deliver orders for the doer to do. The doer would mostly just orient itself toward satisfying the needs of the planner. Jaynes says that Odysseus was the first expression in culture (that still remains today) where a person joined those two forces into one and recognized their own agency as planner-doer, hence all his cunning and wit that defied "physics" at the time. He uses more arguments beyond that (e.g. the origin of funerary rites as being ways to silence or "put to rest" the god-king who, after death, still speaks to and visits those who lived under him as the physical form of the planner that emits instructions from within people's minds) which are compelling but it's a bit hard to know what to do with them except inform one's own crackpot theories about psychology and civilization.

The theory is untestable but fascinating in its ingenuity. And kinda feels on the right track. The physiological explanation was pretty much bunk according to 70s and 80s neuroscience (planner lives in one brain hemisphere, doer in the other), but interpreting this fusion of planner-doer as "ego" in modern terms seems to track with how the ego operates and how people respond to its needs.

> Regardless of what JS framework is in vogue, I do not think it is fair to say that we are doing the same thing on the web as we always have or even to say that the base technologies are getting more complex for no reason.

Certainly. The things you can do on the web have vastly increased, but the things we actually are doing are mostly the same. Read some text, make an account, login, submit a form, make a payment, upload a file. That's what the vast majority of the web has been and still is, yet the path you take to get there is many times more complex and the user experience hasn't proportionally gotten that much better. Arguably, it's gotten worse.

Betty White died at 99, but we still have Kissinger.

Heard an anecdote about LIGO, when they were experimenting with quarz pendulum without a string(s). They statically charged the pendulum and its base, so the pendulum was repulsed from the base, eliminating even slightest possible friction while oscillating. A journalist from science magazine was visiting and decided to take an impressive picture of vacuum-floating piece of quartz. No one had a chance to say a word when journalist popped a flashlight from their camera and pressed the shutter. Flashlight removed the static charge and the pendulum fell to the base.
HTML/CSS are fine, as is javascript, but yeah I don't understand why web pages get bigger and bigger and bigger and slower.

Why do they call that browser fingerprinting? That’s a clearly a violation of browser isolation policies, but I don’t see the connection to fingerprinting.

On top of what others have said here about TPUs and their kin, you can make things really scream by taping out an ASIC for a specific frozen neural network (i.e. including the weights and parameters).

If you never have to change the network - for instance to do image segmentation or object recognition - then you can’t get any more efficient than a custom silicon design that bakes in the weights as transistors.

Anything but Ubuntu. They willingly have way too many "open source politics shenanigans" to be considered viable for the first taste of Linux. (Have been burned a few too many times by trying to do even simple things like installing Steam, not even having an image with restricted extras already installed, and how happy the team is to kill user apps like Wine over and over).

Compared to other distros like Manjaro or Mint, I consider Ubuntu as "Given Up".
>Because Nintendo's legal department is not dumb and makes very specific takedown requests that they know they can win, as opposed to taking down more gray-area things like source code.

But you couldn't even grab the emulator from Steam! There is zero indication that the Steam version of emulator would even include those keys (it's trivial to make the user to type them in/point to a file with them). So DMCA is a total bs and typical example of the abuse that is never punished in our legal system.

It's like copyright striking a channel with the announcement that they'll be streaming a parody of Morbius with the reason that it contains copyright material (perhaps some previous parody included shots from the trailer), without actually seeing the final product.
> maybe I'm so excited and hellbent on getting an emulator that I actively figure out the 10 step process to sideload.

Steam Deck isn't locked down. From Steam itself, you just "exit to desktop", and bam you're met with a KDE desktop. Running Linux. You can do whatever you want. Including installing emulators and games that aren't distributed on Steam. It only takes one step: "flatpak install dolphin-emu"

I highly doubt it will lead to anything but more suffering for humanity. And we’ve got to understand that no new tech was invented here, they’re using the same principles and methods that have been used for the past 40-50 years, but just throwing more compute power and feeding more data to it. It’s a hollow promise, a "fake it till you make it” approach, and just another BS marketing, imho

That said, its ability to generate spam and divert income from hard-working people (based on ill conception they can be “replaced”) will probably be unprecedented.

Because the first two points are, at best, insulting/flamebait without any substance to back them up. What good is hypothesizing stuff like the two crowning jewel open source emulation projects haven't become well aware of each other over the last 20 years as one of three main reasons they are separate today? The third point being good and valid rarely makes up for that kind of conversation here, in terms of a comment doing well. Sorry I participated in that without leaving a reason, it's not always obvious people want to be further explained why.
I recently (restored/put to work) showed an SGI Indy at our office to young ones. Apart from cool case, it was mostly "yeah, looks like any ol' linux desktop we have" which is right, of course... but 30 years ago!

I also have rose-tinted glasses now on IRIX and SGI since I worked on those machines for better part of 90's and early 2000's in VFX (both VFX work and software for it). There was mystique about those daylight robbery machines that made you feel you could and should achieve more. There's nothing like that today anymore, except maybe getting a DGX - Carmack even mentioned something similar ( https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1398519867280609282... ) which I can definitely relate to from SGI era.

Even a complete cessation of fossil fuel use won't change the current trajectory much, it'll just mean the slope (rate of warming) doesn't get much steeper. This is due to the long lag (much of it related to slow ocean equilibration to atmospheric forcing), as well as the permafrost emissions:

> "Given current rates of warming, an estimated 130-160 billion tons of permafrost carbon, could be released in the form of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide but with an important warming contribution from methane—during this century. Thus, emissions from thawing permafrost, in total equivalent to 61-75 ppm atmospheric carbon dioxide, could be similar to other Jluxes from other environmental changes,
such as deforestation, but far less than fossil fuel emissions. New plant growth is expected to offset only ~20% of this carbon release, but this offset could help to delay impacts on climate."

- "Climate change and the permafrost carbon feedback", Schur et al. (2015) Nature

Humans will have to adapt to a new climate regime, by necessity. It's not going to be very pretty.

Workers in developed countries have benefited from environmental exploitation. We can travel hundreds or miles in comfortable cars, or thousands of miles in a day in planes. We can enjoy bananas and other tropical fruit in northern latitudes in the winter. We can live in relatively large spaces that are heated.

It’s the workers in developing countries who are lying the price. They’re the ones who are being told they can’t exploit their land and live the same lifestyle as their northern counterparts.
