Chalking it up to “software incompetence” is a bit simplistic, to say the least. AMD was on the brink of bankruptcy not too long ago and their GPU division was struggling to even trend water. They didn’t have an alternative to CUDA because they couldn’t afford one and no one would use it anyway, OpenCL stagnated because most vendors didn’t want to implement functionality that only the biggest players wanted, and their graphics division had to pivot from optimizing for gaming (where they could sell) to optimizing for compute as well.

Now that AMD has the capital they are playing catch up to Nvidia. But it’s going to take time for their software to improve. Hiring at boat load of programmers all at once isn’t going to solve that.

Make an alternative. Fund alternatives. Reddit is having its Digg moment. Facebook is the new Yahoo. Twitter is just shooting itself in the foot and chest but it's proving too resilient to die.

Part of the problem is these alternatives can be bloody expensive and could be bleeding millions of dollars a month for a decade before they can become profitable.

Americans are usually quite good at creating and funding these, but there's too many comfortable jobs in the US that it's unlikely someone will try. Plus the gold rush that is AI will black hole devs and investors.

China has been emerging in this space, especially with TikTok and gaming. Metaverse is a joke with Americans, because its just so heavily buzzworded. But immersive digital socializing is a thing, maybe more so in parts of Asia. Informercials are huge in Korea. So I think someone that the Western world didn't notice will fill the power vacuum quickly, especially once late stage investors are interested.

Some sources say up to 96% of reddit communities blacked out and they still refuse to budge. Reddit is quite screwed.
I remember seeing prostitutes on Capp street (and Polk St) 15-20 years ago in the aughts. Not anymore. I routinely ride my bike with preschooler in tow on Capp at 8AM and 5PM and haven’t seen any in the past two years.
This is the UEFI boot flow:

Currently AMD provides AGESA, and that is basically PEI part of the diagram. EDK2 is more like the DXE so on.

OpenSIL will now replace AGESA in all AMD products and make that low level open source and serve as the PEI part.

OpenSIL will also enable not just UEFI flow, but also Coreboot/Linuxboot and other open source boot alternatives.

> consumer level devices that might otherwise be perfectly effective for this sort of stuff are prevented by Nvidia from being used for such purposes.

Citation?

To the contrary, millions of consumer-level Nvidia customers have access to datacenter-grade HPC APIs because of their vertical integration. Nvidia's "monopoly hold" on GPGPU compute exists because the other competitors (eg. AMD and Apple) completely abandoned OpenCL. When the time came to build a successor, neither company ante'd up. So now we're here.

CUDA is not a monopoly. If Apple or Microsoft wanted, they could start translating CUDA calls into native instructions for their own hardware. They don't though, because it would be an investment that doesn't make sense for their customers, costs tens of millions of dollars, and wouldn't meaningfully hurt Nvidia unless it was Open Source.

Your point shows the same misunderstanding in a more explicit way: "The percentage of views/listens going to that content literally had nowhere to go but up", still doesn't automatically translate to long tail consumption. If it has gone from being 0% to being 20% of the content consumption for example, the "long still" would still be nowhere competitive with the fat powerlaw "head" (the stuff still getting 80%).

>I'm not a virologist, but this doesn't make sense to me. If we work under the assumption that this was a lab-made virus that leaked, then they plainly must have actually created it. What's the point of having a real virus if you aren't using it to generate real data?

I am a virologist. It also doesn't make sense to me.

There's so much data that would have been helpful. If only the DNA sequence mattered, we wouldn't have the field of virology.

Data such as rate of evolution would have been hugely important in stategizing the vaccine and could have saved thousands of lives. Data on transmission, even in animal models could also have saved lives. Structural information may have been available. Antibodies and antibody binding information may have already been available which would help in identifying conserved structural motifs for vaccine development.

We don't know how long they had it, what data they had available (if it's a chimera, data from multiple viruses might have been relevant), but saying nothing would have changed is insane. That's like saying there was no point to the SARS research over the last 3 years, because we already had the sequence after a couple days.

They worked with it because they had a question they were trying to answer. That question probably had relevance to human health, and they probably had data from trying to answer that question.

The Twitter files were a conspiracist field day. Very easy for people to take random quotes or figures out of context and use them to support their preconceived notions.

It's not surprising at all to see the same polemicists and grifters tout the same line every time something happens that can be spun to "prove" their point.

Out of curiosity, which chrome extensions do you use? Please consider listing all that you currently have installed in descending order of importance to you. If you have any newbie (or advanced) tips for a particular extension, please do share!

Here are mine, in descending order of importance:

Video Speed Controller - changes the speed of (almost) any video; press 'd' to speedup 0.25 speed ('s' for the opposite) and 'r' to reset back to 1.0 speed

uBlock Origin - lets me permanently block specific page elements - it brings me joy to block the 'trending' and 'news' tabs, google doodles and any other trendy/ing elements. My 'filter' list is only 100 lines long; mostly youtube, twitter, and stack overflow.

SponsorBlock for Youtube: crowdsources the timestamps for self-promotion and product placement in youtube videos and automatically skips them for you

Duplicate Tab Shortcut: gives keybindings to open the current url in an adjacent tab (rather than at the end of the tab bar).

Others (I don't consider these essential):

> If you thought Bhopal and Exxon Valdez were bad, wait until some CEO decides to juice The Atomic Corporation's Q4 earnings by skipping a few safety inspections

Perhaps things are different now, but when I was going through the Navy's cram course for the [chief] engineer exam after two years of pretty-intensive sea duty, we worked through some what-if scenarios that they hadn't exposed us to in the year-long basic nuclear-propulsion course. That experience was a real eye-opener — especially coupled with having seen shipyard workers in "action" during my ship's in-port maintenance periods.

I still remember the exact moment in the cram course — sitting in a conference room at a Navy base on a gorgeous San Diego day — when I thought, oh, s__t, civilian workers shouldn't be running nuclear-power plants that are located anywhere near civilization. This was about a year before Three Mile Island and about eight years before Chernobyl.

To be clear, I was comfortable with the Navy's operating practices, which — thanks to the Rickover culture — were ferociously focused on safety and on second-checking everything in sight.

Supposedly there are inherently-safer civilian reactor designs out there now that are less vulnerable to human f*-ups; I haven't kept up and wouldn't be competent to judge.

Consumer GPUs are very good for single GPU inference(or training small models), but Nvidia deliberately made GPU networking slower. eg 3090 has support for NVlink, but it was removed in 4090.
I run a similar Vicuna bot on a free ARM VPS from Oracle. Inference takes ~20 seconds for ~200 tokens on the CPU, so it should stream results about half as fast as ChatGPT.

...however, that was on cheapo ARM hardware. On a hospital budget I bet you could beat OpenAI with a local model pre-mapped in GPU memory on a 3090.
It literally does it everytime perfectly. I remember I put together an entire system that would validate the JSON against a zod schema and use reflection to fix it and it literally never gets triggered because GPT3.5-turbo always does it right the first time.
> Why is “buying government regulations” that allow you to cut corners easier than just cutting corners where no regulations exist.

Because of competition. If you have regulatory capture you avoid competition that then allows the cutting of corners. Without that regulatory capture you have, in your straw man example, no regulations, and hence zero barrier to entry which actually should prevent at least some cutting of corners. Though I'd go for regulation that doesn't prevent competition, but that's just me.
There was not a 1 billion dollar buyout option, the 1 billion dollar penalty was if he could not obtain financing, which he was perfectly capable of doing, or if a regulator blocked the deal, it wasn't something he had the right to use, just a penalty he would be forced to pay if he couldn't close the deal.

Ask HN: How to learn nftables? It's extremely complicated or it's just me?
I can understand and work well with firewalld, ufw and of course, iptables. I have a CCNA (Cisco network certification) so I know a thing or two about networking (although it's not my specialty).

I'm interested in migrating to nftables but find it impossible to learn it. Even learning the Rust programming language is a walk in the park compared to learning nftables.

A lot of people say that nftables syntax is easier than iptables. I can't understand how anyone could say that. To me, iptables syntax is a lot easier, logical, simple to understand. Nftables syntax on the other hand seems like an alien language with alien grammar. It's very hard to understand and comprehend its logic.

I've tried the Arch Wiki, the Gentoo Wiki, the manpages and of course the official nftables wiki. I only get more confused the more I try to understand the nftables "language".

Is there a resource like "Nftables for Dummies"?

If you know the nftables language and can work well with it, how did you learn it? Or the way most people use it is by writing iptables rules and using that tool to "translate" iptables rules to nftables? Does anyone actually understands and has mastered the nftables language?
