Obviously I’m talking about mathematical/computational physics, not experimental physics. I don’t expect the AI to build itself a tokamak to run experiments on.
Both sides have their own OODA loops. The phrase you hear a lot (Hollywood loves it) is: "get inside their OODA loop", which means to execute your loop faster than theirs so you are responding & acting to your observations before they can respond & act to theirs.

It may be that one side's OODA loop is dysfunctional - perhaps they have to wait on higher headquarters to respond, or has an indecisive leader - before acting and that introduces a delay that an opponent can take advantage of.

How to get a tighter OODA loop? Practice. And modeling/war-gaming in advance any potential actions so your responses become automatic. Or at least "good enough".

I suspect that a lot of people who are saying that Debian is behind don't understand Debian.

for them: Whatever you download is going to be "Debian Stable." Debian Stable is as fresh and up-to-date as it's ever going to be at this moment, but it will not change significantly in the future, because its goal is stability. You throw it on something you want to run for years and not crash.

If you don't mind your system crashing every once an a while because you like new stuff, you use "Debian Testing." There is no place to download this directly from Debian, although some third-parties (like Canonical with Ubuntu) distribute customized versions of it. The way you get a non-customized version is by installing Debian Stable, changing sources.list to point at Testing (which you can do as "testing" or by its nickname), then dist-upgrading. Debian Testing is being tested to be the next Stable.

"Debian Unstable" afaict is where individual pieces of software are being tested to go into Testing. Nobody should be running it unless they are contributing to Debian, although there are apt-get masters who know exactly what they're doing who will pull bleeding edge packages from unstable individually.

About the nicknames: Stable, Testing, and Unstable aren't releases, they're an indication of the current status of a release. Each release has its own goofy name. "Bookworm" has just moved from Testing to Stable. "Bullseye," which until just now was Stable, has now become "Oldstable."

Also important is the "[yourrelease]-backports" repo, which Stable users can add to take newer packages from Testing that are 99% certain not to mess with the stability of Stable. Stable + backports is a compromise between Stable and Testing for people who want new stuff that doesn't break things.

I'm sure most people know all of that, but 1) when it comes to things like this people are often afraid to ask because they're afraid they'll look stupid, and 2) the Debian website is very utilitarian and not marketing oriented, so there's no clear entry point for people who don't already know what they're looking for.
This is nitpicking on a high level. Impressive.
They said it's not faster than the desktop parts, which is almost a false statement since it actually is faster at multithreaded than both base desktop SKUs. And then they switch to providing a specific percentage when comparing the the 4080 (also based on an deceptively narrow comparison, one their other articles counter) for dramatic effect.

I don't think it was ever meant to be the most informative article: it seems written to serve the contrarians because that's profitable from a readership perspective for a publication like this.
the mob helped multiple governments during WW2
Absolute best of class? What?

A 4080 is best of class?

And second of all, for the price it should be compared to the 4090, which absolutely demolishes it.
It is! NASA and firefighters had the broom test [0].

Walk with a broom in front of them if they thought there might be a hydrogen fire. If the broom suddenly burst into flames, they knew they had a problem.

I was reading about the hydrogen projects around Teeside in the UK. You have existing hydrocarbon infrastructure, industrial customers, offshore storage, spare land, and an existing grid connection to the wider grid and renewables. This proximity makes the economic case work as there are opportunities to buy and sell in one place.

Also, efficiency becomes far less important if the source energy is cheap and the sold hydrogen is expensive. If the margins are high enough you can afford to waste energy.
As if that matters on a desktop?

The publication already has a reputation and I don’t think people would judge Nature if they used Midjourney for featured images.

Videos are an entirely different thing, it will take a few more years for AI to be able to create interesting videos, so in a sense it is meaningless to even mention it.
The article mentions that property existed in feudal Europe, so isn’t per se linked to capitalism. But the thesis is that capitalization is per se linked to capitalism. Then capitalization/capitalism is linked to caring not about actual property (things in the world) but income. Here’s the problem;

That is exactly the way things worked in feudal Europe. Nobles were interested in acquiring, for example, rights to a demesne lands not because they were interested in how much food they could produce or whatever, but because it was an income stream. At first, that meant in-kind income. Towards the later Middle Ages, it was monetized into cash income.

I don’t have a larger point, except to say that the person is so focused on their critique of capitalism that their explanation of what is essential to capitalism is wrong.
"In addition, even for current AI we don’t even fully understand what we are doing"

That is the problem, don't you get it?

I assume many hide their extension icons. I do agree with not popping up a new tab or whatever, though.
Of course. If you change the requirements the decision space shifts too. With respect to the boots theorem optimal cost is specifically focused on long-term concrete utility per dollar. Fwiw I'd (very loosely) classify the points you're bringing under "prestige".
Good luck enforcing any of these bans. AI models are multiplicities (model + lots of sampling, decoding parameters, etc).

In general, it's extremely difficult to prove that anything is AI generated at all. Even more impossible to prove which model was used with which settings.
Interesting. Do you mean [1]?

I enjoyed casually playing with ChatGPT until they just arbitrarily decided to ban the IP ranges I browse from. Keep in mind I had already given in and spilled one of my phone numbers to them. That's the kind of arbitrary and capricious authoritarianism that "Open" AI is already engaged in.

I don't trust these corporate hucksters one bit. As I've said in a previous comment: if they want to demonstrate their earnest benevolence, why don't they work on regulation to reign in the previous humanity-enslaving mess they created - commercial mass surveillance.
Grid scale storage and aviation are the two areas where hydrogen seems to make sense to me. With the former you get around the problem of having to build absurd numbers of batteries and the material cost of that by using water as a far cheaper working material. With the latter you have an application where unlike cars minimizing weight per kWh is absolutely critical. The fact that there aren’t all that many airports would also make deployment of hydrogen filling infrastructure much easier.

I don’t see hydrogen for cars unless we got a gigantic Eisenhower scale infrastructure build out commitment. There is already a power grid so the infrastructure problem for EVs is way easier to solve.
I think the most interesting benchmark of the M2’s potential advantage conventional Intel/Nvidia machines would be a memory-heavy ML training or inference workload. Apple made some noises about having 190GB of unified memory as an advantage for that scenario, since the system wouldn’t need to wait for copying from COU RAM to GPU RAM but I’d like to see that put to the test.

I’m also disappointed that Apple didn’t go for a 2-socket Mac Pro so they could offer a compute advantage over Mac Studio in addition to the PCI Express slots. Other than the IO, I can’t think of a reason to pick the Mac Pro.
That’s not actually how it works. Purely functional code, such as code that it written in a certain way to achieve maximum performance, is not deemed expressive and therefore not covered by copyright. This code would be covered by patent.
> Nature will not be publishing any content in which photography, videos or illustrations have been created wholly or partly using generative AI, at least for the foreseeable future.

Allow me a bit of a rhetorical question, what are the chances they already publish photos taken on devices that apply by default some form of AI-based generative/corrective algorithms like the "AI detail enhancement engine" by Samsung (the one they use to enhance photos of the moon)?
It matters when comparing performance numbers in general?
Thank you!! I've been trying to find the right balance between using technical lingo and not scaring novice users away. I think the absolute best way to learn how it solves these frustrations is by seeing it work on real images. I go into more technical detail in the user guide at https://color.io/user-guide/get-started, which includes both explanations of how the tools work and how the approach is fundamentally different to most other tools.

For example, here's an excerpt from "Shadow and Highlight Scattering": Light scattering plays a significant role in determining the colors that we perceive in the physical world. It influences the way light interacts with different materials and environments, and ultimately affects the way that we see colors and their intensity, saturation, and hue. The specific physical effect responsible for ambient color tints in the physical world is a combination of the Tyndall Effect and Rayleigh Scattering after which the response behaviour of the scattering wheels are modelled.

Use the shadow scattering wheel to add ambient color to the shadows of an image. Unlike traditional color wheels, scattering holds on to the naturally occurring shadow colors in an image longer and tints dark pixels in a way that is consistent with light behaviour in the physical world.
I wouldn't bother for a background color. For something more substantial but still minimal, I'd probably figure no skin off my nose to give credit. There is a bit of a rub if the original is under a copyleft license and you want to release under a permissive license. Giving attribution could be a bit of a red flag--and maybe it should be unless the code that made it into the final product really is minimal.
From a mathematician quoted about the non-reflective monotile:

> She said she expects the specter and its relatives "will lead to a deeper understanding of order in nature and the nature of order."

So, for a lay person, this tile seems like a cool curiosity, but it's not clear why it should tell us anything more general about something so broad as "the nature of order". Can someone with a better grasp of the relationship between tiling and other domains explain why one might expect the implications to be wider?
I covered this a bit here:

https://rust-analyzer.github.io/blog/2020/07/20/three-archit...

I don't actually _know_ how exactly clangd works, especially post modules, but pre-modules C++ has a compilation model which is actually quite friendly for an IDE, because of the header files.

Headers essentially explicitly encode body/interface separation that more advanced incremental compilation systems like Salsa try to recover implicitly.

Looking at a slightly simplified typical C++

#include <iostream>

void main() {
std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::
}

what a language server could do is that it can run bog-standard phased compiler, and just _freeze_ its state after all includes are parsed&expanded. After that, any typing inside the file needs to re-analyzer just the file itself. Also, the code in included `.h` files is typically far smaller then the code in the corresponding `.cpp` files. So, a language server gets ability to analyse only the relevant code, and skip the rest, for free, it is encoded in compilation model.

Compare this with Rust, where, in the general case, changing a file can affect any other file in CU in arbitrary ways (_usually_ it doesn't, but it _could_, and the complexity lies precisely in figuring out which edits are local and which are not). And CU's themselves are meatier, as macro expansion can run arbitrary code, so you need to somehow cache that, taking into account that macro expansion _anywhere_ in CU can potentially affect _anything_ in CU. So, you need full build systems a-la carte incremental compilation, which is a) hard b) different from how the command line compiler works.

The second point explains the success of clangd I think: _usually_, when you have a command-line compiler and want a language server, you want to rewrite, because the architectures are too different. But because of the way C++ (and OCaml) work, for those two languages you actually can soundly re-use existing code with relatively minor modifications.
They say crypto is “regulatory arbitrage”, I say this AI co-pilot stuff is “copyright arbitrage”.

Being a bit hand-wavy with it: It’s akin to torrenting music/movies. The torrented files are lossy compressed representations of the original waveform from the music producer. Limewire, or Pirate Bay, or whatever provide interface to retrieve them (download or stream). The model weights are a form of lossy compression, and inference is like a document retrieval.

One may say, “it’s like an employee working at company X, then going to work at company Y, they retain their knowledge and experience.” I would say it’s more like, employee going from X to Y, but retaining audio and video recordings of all interactions he had, notes, documents, and other proprietary info and bringing it to company Y.
> do humans trade with GOD?

Yes, humans trade with God(s). But it's an article of faith, much as is our cherished notion that those around us are thinking machines, just like us.
Many, many distros are directly derivative of a ''parent'' distro like Debian. If the parent distro sneezes, almost all of those derivative distros do likewise.
The interlocutor here in this scenario isn’t “AI,” it is, as always, unfettered capitalism.

I’m all down for regulation and forcing AI companies, as the others, to pay for the externalities the enforce on us.

It isn’t a rogue language model that it suddenly going to brute force it’s way to sentience and kill us all; it’s billionaire tech companies with profit motivations. That they can point the finger to a computer and say, “AI did it and you didn’t listen to us when we tried to warn you,” is some fabulously weird post-capitalism.

Since when was TDP a deciding factor in desktop purchasing decisions?
Sure M SOCs are great on laptops, but there are no reasons to get them on the desktop, slower, more expensive and with less compatibility.
At the end of the day, it's complex software for doing complex tasks. Even with 0 bugs, and a "perfect UI", people would by annoyed to use it simply because the tasks that need to be done are not what they signed up for when entering healthcare. If your job made you use a eye poking machine, you'd be upset even if it was the least painful eye poking machine on the market.

The only answer is automation, and in a safety critical role like healthcare, automation has to be done with great care.

Hydrogen can indeed be stored in standard steel gas cylinders.
Seen it, she’s taking pot shots at hydrogen. I’d be more interested in hearing how it works in established applications now and relevant to the article.
Poorly written, resulting in what could look like a bias.

The article mentions that apple has focused on single core performance while the x86 processors in question are designed for multi core use cases. This reflects two different markets being addressed and the sad state (small amount) of multicore code today.

Also it’s silly to claim that the M2 Ultra is so expensive — you can get the same performance from a 3K “studio” desktop that you do from the >7K “Mac Pro”.

I use apple for all my “terminals” (macs, iPhone, etc) but really want AMD and Intel to keep working on these multithreaded powerhouses because I depend on that on the cloud side. I don’t see this ever being in Apple’s markets. Articles that further that are needed, but this isn’t one of them.

Once again a privileged person fails to understand the difference between not wanting to interact with someone and wanting someone to not be able to interact with you. The former is like not answering the phone when they call, the latter is preventing them from getting your numbers and calling you over and over, at all hours of the day and night, at home, at work, at a friend's house, etc.
Sample size of one here, but I use Reddit a lot, I'd never heard of Lemmy until the last few days, and once I read about it I immediately added the master RSS feed for SDF's Lemmy instance to my feed reader. (It's https://lemmy.sdf.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active for anyone curious).

So now for basically the rest of my life I won't be a pure Redditor and I'll always have an OSS/federated alternative to it vaguely on my radar, it's a sea change.

I mean Reddit for me psychologically has gone from an OK platform to the bad guy very quickly here and in mere days I've gone from not even knowing alternatives existed to sniffing around the edges of one. Seems like Reddit is waving around a huge footgun right now.

Edit! : I can't help but compare Twitter and Reddit to insanely successful older companies like Apple and Microsoft. Both of those companies became very successful by building the biggest moat they could, muscling out their alternatives, acquiring or commoditizing their compliments etc. Google too. Yet with Twitter and Reddit here we have two social media companies who have just said "Hey let's do very public stuff that promotes direct alternatives to our core offering." Idk what to say other than... Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

So you believe that the Ukrainian people are fundamentally incapable of making their own decisions. Clearly it was a very divided country with multiple swings back and forth without the assistance of NATO/EU/US. How was 2014 that different from 2004?

US and China are global superpowers. Without the nukes Russia is a regional power at best.

> But the empires

What empires? Why do you think US cares about Ukraine that much, prior to 2014 it was a sideshow at best. They'd prefer to focus on the Pacific/China but Russia doesen't let them.

> If china suddenly becomes a bigger problem and now there would be a need to play Putin against them

How does that make any sense? Why would Russia side with US/EU if China hypothetically invaded Taiwan? Makes no sense...

Doesn't that same point apply to Cambridge Analytica, the singular example of a negative externality from ads in the comment I replied to?

Whether HFTs and/or the broader concept of middle-men are better or worse than ads, they're at least still in the same ballpark. I definitely agree with the GP comment's sentiment:
