The others tried with OpenCL to build a more open environment, this will always lose against a single vendor tailoring it's solution for their own lineup.

Think of Apples ecosystem vs Android or MS's Office-Outlook-Teams vs anything else.
For most modern ML projects in python you can just do something like `conda env create -f environment.yaml` then straight to `./main.py`. This handles very complex dependencies in a single command.

The example you gave works because llama.cpp specifically strives to have no dependencies. But this is not an intrinsically useful goal; there's a reason software libraries were invented. I always have fun when I find out that the thing I'm trying to compile needs -std=C++26 and glibc 3.0, and I'm running on a HPC cluster where I can't use a system level package manager, and I don't want to be arsed to dockerize every small thing I want to run.

For scientific and ML uses, conda has basically solved the whole "python packaging is a mess" that people seem to still complain about, at least on the end-user side. Sure, conda is slow as hell but there's a drop in replacement (mamba) that solves that issue.
It's appalling some people are more upset that his motives were not altruistic than being happy for the people who got their eye sight back.

The claims they are making are extremely bold.

On the front page of their website, they claim to have full compatibility with python code, an ownership model and a borrow checker, and being as fast or faster than C++. These are just some of the first things I noticed!

Apparently one of the people involved with the creation of this language have some credibility which is pretty confusing. They are the CEO of the company behind "mojo" as well.

I think this is going to be another V-lang situation personally, despite the credibility of Lattner. I think this is just someone seeing an opportunity to cash in on the "AI hype" situation that exists currently.

Even reputable people can be influenced to do shady things when lots of money is involved!

This is of course just my opinion and I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, but I'm definitely very skeptical right now!

Nuclear power is dirty, dangerous and expensive. Say no to new nukes.

Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn’t mean it’s clean. Renewable energy is better for the environment, the economy, and doesn’t come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown.

But if he’s honest in telling his origin story about figuring out how to optimally drive engagement, doesn’t that actually make him genuine? There’s no lie here. He’s upfront about how he’s optimizing content for views and using profits to drive further content, grow the business, and donate to charity.

I don’t really find his content very interesting, but he seems like a decent guy and you can definitely make an argument he’s doing some good in the world.
yeah, that's a bunch of crap. If you have something that needs lots of RAM (say audio uses where samples and such must be in RAM for latency reasons) swapping to SSD is NOT a solution.

And swapping to SSD is pretty stupid - SSDs have finite write lifetimes. Yeah, you can get data center capable SSDs that are over provisioned and cached to the hilt - but at that point RAM would just be cheaper; and still be faster.

I get why Apple is sticking with the tightly coupled RAM on SOC - it's part of the equation that gets them their blistering performance (love my maxed out M1 Max - but kind of nuts 64GB is the most it can have). Some use cases just need more memory - period.

I'm still hoping they will have a true desktop chip at some time where RAM could be externalized even if it causes a slight performance hit. The problem is the number of users who truly need that much RAM is so small I doubt they can justify diverging from their existing architecture that severely.
Fair enough though when I am home, I have half an ear for what's going on in the house whether its stuff outside; someone at the door; the cat doing cat things; the kid running around etc.

It's rare even at work that I would want to be so fully immersed. Kind of makes me feel vulnerable, not you?

It seems counterintuitive to restrict users interacting with your platform, but I could also see it working the other way (I want to login and use my daily allowance instead of losing it).
> what problems an LLM can solve is a function of what it can model.

Well said. The model that LLM has is very simple: If text X precedes current conversation then the most likely continuation of discussion is, according to the model held by LLM, Y. Right?

So the point is LLM does not create models. It has only a single model based on probabilities of text-sequences, created by its programmers. So it can (mostly?) only solve the problem of what would be a good textual response to an earlier text. It can do it well but most difficult problems don't fall into that category of "having a great chat".

Last summer, I worked as a Google Summer of Code 2022 Student Developer at GitLab, a DevOps platform. I worked with the Gitaly team, which is a Git RPC service which is responsible for handling git calls made by GitLab. My tasks were to integrate the mailmap feature in GitLab. Apart from that, I also worked on GitLab's contributor graph feature to use git-shortlog which will improve the performance of the graph.

I chronicled my GSoC journey in my personal blog https://siddharthasthana.dev/archives/. Here is the link to it: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2022/projects/ya...

My GSoC work got highlighted in the GitHub and Git communities. Here is the link:

I have been actively contributing to other OSS projects like Zulip which is a real-time team chat system and Git, a distributed version control system. At IVY, I have written functions and tests for the ML transpiler and deep learning framework. In the process, I learned not only about how web platforms work, but also have some knowledge of how low level systems like kernel work.

Your children aren't going to resent you because they can't watch a YouTube channel. Nobody has ever resented their parents as an adult because of something like that. My parents didn't let me watch adult-rated movies or play adult-rated games (eg The Godfather, Call of Duty) as a child, while others' parents did. You'd have to be insane to resent them for that. How far do you take this? No rules? "Sorry, no chores in this house: our children will resent us." No boundaries at all?

Your children are more likely to resent you when they grow up incapable of hard work and with no sense of delayed gratification because their parents were terrified of ever imposing any rules or expectations on them for fear of causing "resentment".

No child is going to suffer socially because they don't watch Mr Beast. It's literally one thing. A child might conceivably suffer socially if they're cut off from all leisure activities, but not being able to watch a YouTube channel is so minuscule as to be laughable. I didn't watch Saturday morning cartoons as a child, as my parents didn't like having the TV on in the morning. Did I suffer socially? Not remotely.

Exactly. Anyone who’s ever done something good for someone else partly did it because it felt good. This is what drives humans to help others, and society would fall apart without this basic urge to help others.

My conspiracy theory is that this is part of a broader "medical-device-ification" of every service or product that is specific to natural persons and our ceremonies and culture. Wedding cakes are 10x cost of other cakes. Coffins are 10x cost of other boxes. Medical devices are 10x cost of the same devices that aren't for medical care. It's spreading. Next is probably houses. Then maybe every food and maybe later clothes. Meanwhile the corporations are ruthlessly and competently and incessantly negotiating among themselves, keeping the B2B non-natural-persons goods at normal prices while the ones for actual humans skyrocket. This causes a different amount of inflation observed by people compared to the ones observed by corporations. Thanks for coming to my tedx talk.

Show HN: Estimating Spanish CEFR Levels Using Vocabulary
I needed to classify a lot of spanish words into different cefr levels and thought why not use it to quickly estimate your cefr level.

Drawing inspiration from the concept of ELO and calibration games: you pick your starting level, then if you know a word you move up a level, and if you don't know a word you move down a level. With 10 calibration words you'll know more or less your success rate at various vocabulary levels.

Advantages:

* Fast

* Retestability - a large database of words can be created using chatgpt

Disadvantages:

* Only tests vocabulary which may not be correlated with your other language skills

There are many improvements I want to add (eg. clustering words to improve categorization, a personalized vocabulary database for language learners) but it's already taken me too long. I hope this isn't to basic to post.
Hmm, your Statista link says “In total, about 59.9 percent of U.S. households paid income tax in 2022.” Maybe you flipped the direction? About 50-60% do pay income tax?

This is the real key one. My intel from a brewery that was sadly bought by Coke was that the savings in transit & shipping is staggering. More beverages in the same amount of space, which also means less costs for refrigeration.
Just a note that sarcasm doesn't translate well online. Once you stopped that I think your points were well made.

> Lovely, high-minded principle but a complete bust when many participants in the alleged marketplace aren't in the slightest bit interested in seeking truth, exchanging ideas or finding the better ones, but rather flooding the common space with verbiage for political or monetary gain.

Also worth noting that the same people who believe that "good ideas win over bad" are often also the same people who often believe that "popular wins over right". These two beliefs are obviously at odds.
And it's not like the waiters make significantly more. No, the majority of costs is the friggin' rent of the establishment.
No, because the whole point of game shows is they restrict how often someone wins the jackpot, to make it profitable.

In Australia at least, I'd guess that standalone homes are at the juncture of 'rentable' and 'appreciation of the base land' (which is usually what is rising in value).

Land can be subdivided as lifestyles change. A house can be extended or rebuilt with a second storey. An apartment can generally be updated internally on the same footprint, but not much more. Institutional buyers would be well positioned to redevelop a house to semi-detached dwellings, or apartments, or retirement facility.

Here, over 30 years to mid-2022, houses rose 453%, units 306%. In the last ten years only, that same change was 82% for houses, 47% for units.
>What was claimed is that OP wants some of my house.

That was a pretty strange assumption. Nobody wants your house. I just don’t care if you won’t be able to sell it with any profit or even for the same amount of money. However, if property prices go down everywhere, you will be able to exchange it for equivalent property elsewhere.

Full disclosure: I invested in property myself and I’m fine burning that money if the outcome is healthier economy.

> Are we going to start criticizing doctors next because they're saving lives to get paid?

A doctor is a profession, unless doing charity work, the act of being a doctor is not philanthropy.
> free entertainment

It's not free. Like anything else, there is an opportunity cost for watching garbage. Mr. Beast and content-creators like him are precisely the reason my children won't have free access to YouTube if not smartphones entirely. He creates mindless garbage content that helps rots peoples' brains. Yes, plenty of other content on YouTube is no better, but this stuff actually gets marketed to people including children, and its aggregate millions if not billions of manhours of people mindlessly staring at this shit is not at all a good thing. The fact that some of it happens to result in people having an affliction cured doesn't reverse any of the wastefulness.
The MrBeast video where he pays for people's eye surgery felt icky to me and it took me a while to really figure out why. On one hand, I think it's great that people in need were able to receive assistance. On the other hand, why is it that it took some rich YouTuber to pay for their surgeries in the first place? As I understand it a lot of these eye surgeries have been fairly standard for decades, so why isn't there already a government program that pays for this? No paperwork or other bullshit, you just go to an eye doctor and they give you the surgery. It seems like such obvious low-hanging fruit, and it would be a massive political win. Maybe manufacture one fewer jet to pay for thousands of surgeries?

Maybe Medicare For All and these big medical reform programs are too ambitious and unlikely to go through. But maybe we could at least help raise the floor for what medical conditions Americans are treating by default.

If you're reading this, consider calling up your representative and telling them: "Hey, I think it's kinda crazy that we have a safe and proven surgery that lets people see, and I think it should be available for anyone that needs it, figure out how to make it work."

How many people even need these eye surgeries? I bet that raising enough money to pay for this surgery for every single American wouldn't even cost that much (in relative terms). So going the charity path would probably also be viable. However if it's something that enough people agree is worth doing, why not just use your tax dollars to pay for it? Who's going to seriously oppose a bill for giving people the ability to see?

You know what would be a win? Tuning in to the State of the Union next year and hearing: we eliminated this form of blindness from the USA.

Ok.

Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy

To your point, they do. However I’d assert that’s mostly due to income inequality and false scarcity to induce labor for labors sake.
Great point. I downloaded the official Reddit app just to see if the negativity surrounding it was warranted. As soon as I tried to scroll past my first ad, a tap was registered and the ad website loaded. It was suspiciously erroneous in its handling of my scrolling up.
It is about full disk encryption with automatic unlock during boot. One needs to make TPM dependent on a successful secure boot to allow access to decryption. The boot completes no problem, but the TPM entry that controls access needs to be manually recreated with each new kernel update.

See https://gist.github.com/jdoss/777e8b52c8d88eb87467935769c98a... , the bit "then auto volume decryption on your next reboot will fail". This makes sense.
It's kind of funny: 21st-century adaptations of older books already exist without having to edit them to remove "offensive material". Consider the movie Bridget Jones' Diary, which is essentially just an (early) 21st century adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which has since become a cult classic.

I think its entirely reasonable for media to be adapted for a modern age; these "adapations" are censorship with a thin veil.
At this point in my life, I do all that stuff with my family around me, and can't imagine being stuck inside a headset.

> Qualcomm will also have access to TSMC’s 3nm tech. Given that the Vision Pro will launch with M2 in 6 months, it might not get M3 for 1.5 year. That’s plenty of time for Qualcomm to catch up.

I wouldn’t assume Vision Pro will ship with an M2… it could be a M2 Pro or another variation.

If past is prologue, Qualcomm has yet to match Apple Silicon performance. Sure Qualcomm will have access to TSMC’s 3nm tech but they don’t have the ability to pay billions of dollars in advance to reserve essentially all of TSMC’s 3nm capacity [1] as Apple is rumored to have done. So even if there was the demand, Qualcomm won’t be able to make enough chips.

Probably more so than most companies, Apple plays the long game.

Finally, when Steve Jobs stated Apple had filed something like 300 patents and a 5-year lead on every other company, the industry scoffed. RIM’s founders doubted the specs and Steve Balmer laughed at the thought of the iPhone competing with Microsoft, never mind Nokia, RIM and Motorola. I don’t have to mention what happened to these leaders of the smartphone industry.

For what Apple is attempting to accomplish, they’re essentially as far ahead in 2023 as they were in 2007. I know that sounds crazy but that’s how Apple rolls.

Even if a company could create comparable hardware, they wouldn’t come close regarding software and integration into an existing ecosystem of iOS + macOS software, not to mention VisionOS apps.

No, it is way better than RemoteFx or DDA. Your VM gets a virtualized GPU. So with 1 NVidia card you can use 3D acceleration and CUDA on both host and guest at the same time.

The demo code (now in subproject grumpyrest-demo) has a complete example. It works like this:

public static class MyServlet extends RestServlet {
public MyServlet() {
super(buildApi());
}
private static RestApi buildApi() {
RestApi api = new RestApi();
...
return api;
}
}

It's a bit annoying right now, but that's because the servlet is supposed to be constructed by the servlet container using a no-arg constructor. I hope I can improve this in the future.
