Both companies are juicing up the default power limits which absolutely matters if you're concerned about total Wh for sustained loads, thermal considerations, PSU rating, noise, etc, as you mentioned, but to be fair to AMD here they've released an eco mode on the 7000 series which does lower the default power limit quite substantially. You could do this before with manual adjustments to voltage and clock speeds, but now it's a simple toggle.

Another point is that in terms of power efficiency AMD are absolutely mopping the floor with Intel, where even older high power R9s are consistently outperforming Intel's lower power i5 and i7s by a wide margin. This sort of discussion is often left out of reviews which only look at TDP or peak wall power. It's still not ARM levels of efficiency, but x86 vs ARM or even desktop vs laptop efficiency is an entirely separate conversation.
For person like me that takes very light naps when sitting, 10 seconds is plenty to wake up and take control. Also if I am using a tablet doing email or browsing or even playing games, 10 seconds is plenty of time to put the tablet away and grab the wheel.
Why do you think AI music will sound like elevator music forever, when it’s already generating English text and code at such a high level? It’s quite possible that 10 years from now, Mick Gordon will sound passé when compared to the dynamic AI generated music. Maybe not, but definitely possible. There’s a lot of money to be made with better generation of music, and it’s going to be an area of exploration for sure.
Anyone who wants to do physics instead of just making stuff up can't.
I would posit that there isn't much video worth being watched in the world's current state.

Without going down a subjectivity rabbit hole, the amount of filler content on streaming services is astounding. Finding something great is like sifting through the sand in a desert to find a tiny diamond. The juice just ain't worth the squeeze.
You don't know what the word fraud means, and I recommend reading these crazy things called 'terms of service'.
I've found that most of the HFT strategies are pretty simple. Its exercising a proven mathematical stat/arb condition in the market. The tricky part is finding it first and getting to execute on it first.

However, there are plenty of firms that operate in the low frequency space. Long/short shops are typical for this type of trading. They don't care about order speed. They spend all their time trying to find inefficiencies or hidden correlations between financial instruments and profit from them.

Low frequency tends to be highly research compute focused, while HFT is highly trade compute focused.
Most people hold wildly inconsistent views in their head all the time, despite obvious contradictions - it’s the default human behavior.

We need more tools that encode the decision making methods of deliberative bodies, and allow groups to moderate themselves. They should be distributed-first. The only method that we use so far in software is dictatorship.

edit: I think that the Community Notes function of nu twitter is a serious step in the right direction, and there should be more academic discussion about how processes like that could be implemented best, or even updated on the fly to match the changing desires of users.
I wish I had this, and something to hide all shorts, on my roku.
Common people thought nuclear weapons not dangerous? When was that?
Indeed, exactly my experience. =)
I can definitely relate to that. I don't think it's necessarily an effect of your brain 'figuring out the trick', but more an issue of a part of your 'identity' getting shifted in an unhelpful direction.

When I was younger, I was absolutely sure that I'd pull off whatever was required of me, even if that meant doing everything under a ton of pressure. But at some point, the circumstances just didn't allow that anymore... And after the first time that this paradigm didn't work out anymore, I didn't have this reassuring surety anymore either, which was a big part of why it always did work out before I think.

So now I just tell people to be careful with their personal 'axioms', and to not stress them to a breaking point.
The G5s had to have impressive cooling lol
What are you doing that contributes to those ends (aside from sermonizing on forums)? I had a quick look at the website linked in your bio, and it seems you're a working stiff toiling for a for-profit company, building shit for other for-profit companies, just like the rest of us.
Same-ish problem, though. You wouldn't know for sure the instance will run again...your dict/map data can be dropped. I don't see any sort of instance timeout callback where you could guard against that.
> What's true of both the crisis situation and the daily situation is that at any given moment, you can only ever actually be doing one thing.

Sometimes you can organize your work such that while yes, technically you're just doing one activity, you're making progress on multiple todo entries simultaneously.

I think that's an important facet of effective "multi-tasking"; it has more to do with how you organize your work than being good at context switching. Sortof akin to enabling SIMD use by organizing the data such that it's applicable.

A practical example is I have this long-term excavation/grading project on my property that needs eventual doing. The dirt here is mostly sand, and I often mix stucco/concrete for projects. By deliberately sourcing the dirt from areas I need to excavate anyways, I'm making progress on the grading project when I'm making pavers or whatever needing sand.
Agree. I'm still blown away by the fact that we can summon this level of coherent output with text. Absolute black magic sorcery that!

To be honest, I'm on the edge to write a Firefox extension just to solve this problem. I'm using a Macbook with a touchpad, and sometimes it's just inconvenient that I can't just click on it.
The full blown three strip technicolor process with dye-transfer prints was a true marvel. The picture it produced was absolutely incredible for its age, and thanks to the stability of the eyes, the prints retain their quality for decades. If you ever get a chance to see a vintage dye transfer print projected in a cinema, it’s really something to see.
Problem is minimal viable expectations and how fast these ar filled. In 90% of Reddit you will get flamed for offering money for anything. Wouldn‘t even touch my mind to go there.

I wonder what bcantrill’s take on this will be.

He’s been on his personal holy war on firmware for years now, I’m not joking, I’m curious to read his opinions on this issue.

Maybe barracuda could use some kind of standalone 2u oxide server instead of supermicro servers? ;)

I can see those being bought up for Datcenters and CI use. There have been companies hosting huge racks of Mac minis for ages to do CI for MacOS and iOS software.
I would play with the livecd for a while first. Even straight ubuntu gave me problems on my gen1 (wifi, sleep, graphics...). I switched it back to win10 and have a Carbon for Linux now.
This generally depends on the tier of service you're paying for. Every infra provider offers tiers that provide dedicated resources. AWS handles this via CPU credits, other providers are less sophisticated.

Generally speaking you're not going to get banned unless you spin up max quotas and have other signals for fraud, such as zero payment history, connecting from regions with high fraud rates, etc. More often the provider will just limit your resources - either openly, like AWS does, or more subtly.
If you've never been around an AIX Power server: they're extraordinarily loud. Usually these 3/4U rack servers that sound like a plane taking off.
what if it's not code per se but more like "if you see this error, make sure to use this flag/change the value of this parameter"?
To be fair, none of those cities have the transit infrastructure that NYC has. In fact some of them (LA, Dallas, maybe even Seattle) are cities I would classify as “car first”
A big reason forums centralized in the first place was the maintenance cost. I don't see anything has changed in that regard.

Reddit and similar solved it through economics of scale.
Nobody really wants to drive or park in that sort of congestion. If they would just make public transit better, then there would be less congestion naturally.
IS it me or I just simply do not hear any real music in the "examples". I tried quite a few and would not want to use any for listening.
That still does not imply we should listen to people like Kaczynsky or take his ideas seriously. He sux and should not matter. If someone else with better decisions making recond expresses same ideas in another context, we can listen to him.

The only thing that distinguishes Kaczynsky from, well, any random dude, are the bombs. Otherwise he is a no one. And random dude that did not send bombs makes more sense to listen to.
From the wikipedia clean room page:

> Typically, a clean-room design is done by having someone examine the system to be reimplemented and having this person write a specification. This specification is then reviewed by a lawyer to ensure that no copyrighted material is included. The specification is then implemented by a team with no connection to the original examiners.

Without the disconnection between examiners and implementers, it's only slightly similar to a clean room. And we have new case law to consider: an API may be subject to copyright, and those unit tests are highly suspect under that lens.
No market is fully deterministic, however there are a lot of correlations in all markets. Take options. The option is a derivative and therefore its price is defined by the underlying stock. This was mathematically proven by Black & Scholes (and they got a Nobel prize for it).

So, when the underlying moves (the stock) the option should move according to the model. But there are time inefficiencies in the market so a HFT can trade against the misplaced option and lock in a bit of profit. Do that a million times a day any you may make a few bucks.
Well, I know what you mean but "completely different" is potentially misleading here. The current ipnsort is using bidirectional merges developed for quadsort (the merging part of fluxsort) and the fulcrum partition from crumsort, also by Scandum (all credited in comments; check the source if you want to see more influences!). To balance things out, the strategy for using the namesake sorting networks is new to me: pick a few fixed sizes and handle the rest by rounding down then a few steps of insertion sorting.
Woah, so if I understand this correctly, I can just put whatever streamkey i want in OBS with https://b.siobud.com/api/whip as my server, then my friend puts the same key on BroadcastBox hosted website and that's it? That's amazing. I do a lot of 1:1 streaming, sometimes with discord, sometimes with Twitch, but this is much better.
He's already made up his mind, so he'll probably just leave out this important tidbit when discussing the issue with "management"

I think it's negligible. The only metrics you lose are on rare scaledowns and they are averaged out anyways. GCP likes to keep instances idle for a long time.
The difference in FSD behavior is due to the EU’s laws on autonomous vehicles. The EU mandates maximum lateral acceleration, lane change times, and many other details that make for a worse (and less safe) driving experience.
The U also has one of the top video game development programs too. I decided to go back to college in my late 20s and doing that program now. It used to be part of the film school, then they moved it to the college of engineering but I heard from a progress or in July they are suppose to expand to being their own school at the U, because there’s a lot of overlap with programming, art and business (they use the term “Producer” for project managers). But apparently the program is growing and they want to offer more classes covering the entire spectrum but the people in charge of whatever college they have been apart of have been limiting what they could offer, or so I’m told from a professors Rant.
If you have to go through the cost of a replacement anyways - as in, the time and effort to actually do it - the cost of the hardware matters a lot less.
I have one cousin (not an IIT grad) who worked for about a decade in Manhattan and then happily moved back to Mumbai. His brother also moved to the USA and has no desire to return to India.

Ironically the harder you make it for people to enter, the more likely they are to stick around rather than move back and forth.
Surely if you're concerned about identifying how rich someone is, using value of their car is a much worse proxy than using their actual income.
Handoff Waste and Taylorism
Interesting statement and would be keen to see if businesses would trust Google to try out these capabilities, or other smaller recent services as the preferred choice given their flexibility of integration with existing cloud choices.

It seems we may find companies on all major cloud providers in the near future to guarantee access to unique proprietary services that cloud providers are starting to differentiate themselves with from their competitors
Right, and you could have afforded better/more coffee with the savings costs to consuming less power. Which is the point: energy costs are not 0. These costs vary depending on which devices you play on, regardless of games. Someone playing the same games as you on PS5 rather than a gaming PC, is going to save enough money to then buy another indie game per month or more coffees in that month than you.

Note: this isn't about debating which platform is best, rather understanding power consumption impact and the cost to your budget.

Are these costs major? Life changing? Absolutely not. But you should care about them and make decisions incorporating them, not ignoring it as if power consumption is irrelevant even if doubled!
I guess it is not ok to be asleep as even a loud alarm will take time to wake you up, but not paying attention, like when you are doing your email is fine. In fact, that's the entire point of level 3 autonomy.

You are "on call" rather than "at work", so you must be prepared to act when the car rings. If the car doesn't ring, you are free to do whatever you want as long as you can hear the ring and take back control when it happens.

Is the cloud provider getting money off of this arrangement? => Yes, obviously they're getting paid here.

Is the cloud provider getting that money as a result of deception? => Yes, by selling ex. the use of 1 CPU core when they actually have no intention of letting you use that core. Now, I'll grant that in an actual legal case it might well be possible to get away with this by burying it in the ToS, but this is HN, not a court room, so I'm comfortable setting the bar at "would most actual users expect that to happen based on marketing?", conclude that no, most users would consider that surprising even if there's something buried in the ToS claiming that it's allowed, and call a spade a spade.

There are lots of level 2 systems where you can take your hands of the wheel. That not the definition of level 3.
That just sounds like recency bias. Plus before announcing they're more likely to have not been in the news.
My first reaction to this wasn't "cool I can make the novel music I desperately crave", more along the lines of "this thing is making some wacky sounds that I'd love to see a producer craft into something more". Because I definitely agree with you that there's an abundance of fantastic music to check out, and realistically I'll never be able to check out even half of it throughout my lifetime.

The guys in Infected Mushroom will have a field day with this stuff. Their whole thing is finding weird ways to create new sounds you never heard before.

Just another instrument, really.
Ok so both the things you linked are not my ideas. The first one is AFAIK originally from the BlockQuicksort paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06697.pdf section 3.2. Which Orson Peters used in his pdqsort, which I know base ipnsort on. The second one is from Igor van den Hoven in his work on quadsort as I mention in the function description. Really a lot of this stuff is building on top of other peoples work and refining it. Seemingly I'm the first to write neat little ASCII graphics for them in the code making them easier to approach. There are some novel ideas by me in there too though, for example https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/42bf339d... the way I marry a limited number of sorting-networks, insertion sort and the bi-directional merge into one, very fast but binary size and compile time efficient package is novel. Or that with LLVM you can do 2 instead of 4 writes per loop iteration in the bi-directional merge, which Igor has now ported back to his stuff as well. Generally I'd say my work has been more about figuring out novel ways to combine existing ideas into one good cohesive package fit for a standard library sort implementation. As well as taking ideas that work in the C and C++ world and doing the legwork to adapt them for use in Rust, which requires a lot more considerations and a lot of code can't be ported straight up. I wrote a little more about that in another comment here.
He does not need any of that. He is not about to put Kaczynsky to jail. He is doing moral judgement and that one requires only reasonable probability.

> Is it just that you can't compartmentalize and separate the two things in your mind?

They are not separate. Past behavior predicts future one. And ignoring probabilities is just demanding that people act as if they were stupid.
How did they "solve" it, from a business sense? Don't they readily admit that they aren't profitable?
Hacker news is a platform ultimately subsidized by a billionaire.

A billionaire is choosing to be a responsible owner/patron of this platform, but ultimately this platform answers to him.

HN is a "good king" platform, our king has invested in public works that we benefit from and we appreciate it.

Hacker news is good insofar as it accomplishes our kings goals which align with our own, but we still have a king, even if he is a benevolent one.
OP is being downvoted because his anecdotal defense of GCP due to nice UI is irrelevant to the link posted. And probably to cloud computing in general.
A lot of people use OBS for screen recording. I do think ShareX is extremely limited unless you want to record something super simple.

OBS' ability to compose a whole scene, dozens of different capture methods, overlays, full audio mixer, transitions, etc. It's the perfect place to record any sort of desktop-based video. It's far far more than just "screen recording".
You can also add a second or two of pause between sentences to the same effect.
A resource group is literally just a folder — a name — and is the best feature of Azure.

For comparison, any large AWS account is always a total mess. Just an endless list of randomly named things that are totally unrelated to each other.

If that is his criticism, he deserves the down votes.

I bet his desktop has a hundred icons on it strewn randomly where half of them are named “file.txt” and “document.doc”
I have a cleaning technique I call ant mode. A colony of ants can accomplish a lot. They can move immense amounts of materials, and create well organized groupings of things.

In ant mode, I pick up one thing, and then I put it in a place it belongs.

If I don't know where it belongs, I put it down with something else of the same type. I'm only ever picking up one thing, I'm only ever putting it down in one spot. I envision myself becoming a colony of ants.

It's very helpful when moving lots of things from one spot to another, and I pretend that I am one of multiple ants making the same trip back and forth. It's surprising how effective it is because there's no thought required. No second guessing. There's no wondering what to do next, it's just pick up something out of place and move where it belongs.

The best thing about ant mode, is that I can stop anytime, and I've accomplished something. Things are better than I found them.

Applying LLMs or AI to our schedules isn't an unreasonable idea. If it could improve our own productivity even just slightly, I would consider that a win. It would be democratizing the effects of value add from traditional assistants to everyone.

I think good ideas sometimes come from connecting two concepts that seem unrelated, and we shouldn't really silence any of these ideas.
Those aren't ideas for software. They're not even platitudes. It's just vague discontented murmuring. More ideas, less pretending to be superior.
Citation needed. "The best" AIO coolers shouldn't have issues with fluid lose in a meaningful way that impacts performance.

Likewise, I'm not aware of any widescale issues with AIOs leaking. This seems like just as much of a problem as regular CPU coolers that need to have dust removed (i.e., not a problem).

Why is it that AI can only be used in detrimental ways? Surely, AI could also be used to counter, for example, 2 and 4. Claiming a net negative effect of AI isn't a trivial thing.
