I think the architecture of mastadon unintentionally encourages this.

When you follow someone on a peered instance, the instance you use must store and forward their posts to you. So if an instance contains mostly content you find disagreeable you may not want to have those on your server.

Also if you go to the "global" timeline, you will see posts from all instances which are peered with your instance. So the operators of your instance might not want to "pollute" that timeline with content from instances they find disagreeable.

I prefer the alternative architecture used by the nostr protocol. There, your account is not tied to a relay, but to a public key which is used to verify everything you post. You can send your posts to multiple relays which can then be read by anyone who chooses to pull from there.

This allows relays to freely block/curate content in the way they like without restricting the freedom of their users to pull content from other sources.

Currently, the network is in its infancy, and is mostly populated by bitcoiners, since this is the community where the protocol grew out of. But there is no reason why it can't eventually grow far beyond that, for those with no interest in that topic.

Well I'll be damned, Max Verstappen is on HN.
Yet, there's no such thing as Linux operating system. What runs on those machines are thousands of Linux distros, each being an operating system.

You can't get an app designed for Android to run on Linux Mint with ease.
> What stung before was that people were forced to use Windows because of lock-ins, software compatibility, etc. That doesn’t really exist any more.

What? This is very real and a key driver not to use Linux or Mac for millions of users. As soon as even a little performance is required webapps just can't compare. Look at anything graphics related especially 3d, CAD or video. You might be able to build shitty infographics for Instagram on Canva but real work still requires access to compute at the edge and most software providers in those spaces target Microsoft only.
1. I use nextcloud to backup photos to my NAS
2. A nightly job backups my photos to Amazon Glacier (very cheap to store, very expensive to retrieve) - This is only in the case of a catastrophic failure (e.g. house burns down).
3. Every month or so I copy the photos to an external drive (manually)

I am thinking of buying a NAS that I can setup in my parents house so I can transfer them over there automatically instead of the manual copy action to the external drive
They are busily working on all the other large scale engineering projects that they are so good at producing and maintaining.
Nobody forces you to use those instances with policies on defederation you don't like. You can run a single person instance if you so choose (I do) and ignore most of the drama.

Meanwhile people are also free to choose to give some degree of control to instance admins because a lot of people want a nice walled garden but don't want to be forced to tend to the walls.
Feel free to read the title as GNU/Linux.

Unfortunately there is no real “transmission” between the two, pretty much only the kernel is shared, absolutely nothing in userspace. Hell, it is ridiculously difficult to even run/emulate android on a normal linux distro.

Which is a shame, because while android’s model is far from perfect, it is definitely eons ahead of the traditional linux userspace, especially on the security front.

Market share/popularity correlates directly to amount of available software, and their support. So it is completely rational to care about these metrics.
It's actually bi-quinary. Inside the ALU, numbers are represented by two fields: an odd/even field with two dedicated signals for odd and even, and a field of 5 quinary "Q#" signals for 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, 6/7, 8/9. So it's a 7-bit representation as in Q8-Q6-Q4-Q2-Q0-B1-B0. There are two separate adders, one for each field, with borrows and overflow handled after partial results. Apparently, this helps with error checking in the ALU with limited circuitry. (There's exactly one Q# bit and exactly one B# bit high at any time. E.g., `0` is Q0 high and B0 high, `9` is Q8 high and B1 high.) Negative numbers are represented in 9's complement.

Values are converted from BCD to bi-quinary as they enter the adder and the result is translated back again. So, to the programmer, it's still a character-oriented machine and the ALU operates on a single character (= decimal digit) a time. (Apparently, IBM didn't even communicate any of this.)

A general feature of character oriented processing is that there is no fixed precision and fields may be of arbitrary length, but it's also obviously slower than (binary) bit-parallel processing. (Mind that the 1401 was a replacement for punched card appliances, which were all about fields of various character lengths, as found on 80-column cards.)

The cluster munitions are going to be used against russian defensive positions on agricultural UKRAINIAN territory.

It's entirely up to Ukraine what they do with their own land.

And the options at this point are:

1. Remove russian terrorists with cluster munitions, with the potential for civilian casualties.

2. Allow russian terrorists to continue raping, torturing, and murdering civilians in Ukraine.

> the majority OS on phones

The kernel is not the operating system, even if it is a key component of it. Android phones do use the Linux kernel - well, not exactly; some kind of modified version of it - but they do not use the GNU/Linux operating system. The OS is different in many ways: Filesystem hierarchy, daemons/services, graphics stack, etc.

So far as anyone knows, this is not a derivative work, its transformative, and therefore not subject to any licensing requirement.

And now for something not completely different: an introductory lecture in Perturbative Quantum Gravity (PQG) by Prof. John Donoghue. The lecture is one in the Basics of Quantum Gravity online school sponsored by https://isqg.org/ the International Society for Quantum Gravity. PQG stands in contrast to the approach in the fine article at the top ("TFA") and to semiclassical gravity.

By coincidence a retweet this morning re-surfaced a tweet from a couple of weeks ago by @BahramShakerin linking to these three 2023 lectures in Perturbative Quantum Gravity given a few weeks ago at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. This material may be useful to anyone genuinely interested in constructing GR as a "second quantization" QFT, in contrast to the Oppenheim classical gravity - second-quantized quantum matter (CQ) approach whose surface was scratched in the quantamagazine link at the top.

As there are many comments which raised questions or made ... uh ... assertions about things like gravitons, there is probably some interest here, thus this comment. Additionally, problems in semiclassical gravity and in perturbative quantum gravity motivated the work discussed in TFA.

I assume though it has to run the things developers are compiling themselves (that is the whole point of it!) so things that are shared that way would be transferrable.
Transformer models rather than LLMs surely. ChatGPT behaves nothing like Google Translate.

No, the post is correct about MQA. A KV-cache only caches the key and value heads. The point of MQA is that your KV-cache is 1/heads smaller than usual because of this sharing.

Having multiple query heads does not affect the cache size, which is the limiting factor in MHA decoding for both memory capacity and bandwidth reasons.

Some kind of SETI project, but for training a high number parameter llm would be awesome.
The thing about these models is compute scales quadratically with model dimensionality and memory scales quadratically with sequence length.

We are nowhere near diminishing returns for either variable, so sure current models maybe scale quickly but the cutting edge will want as much compute as possible for a long time.

That’s kind of the humor of everyone saying this leak somehow leaves OpenAI vulnerable.

The work isn’t deciding if an MoE is the right architecture or not, it’s how to run 25k GPUs concurrently in a fault tolerant way (likely the true reason for the deep Azure links).

Usenet was a wild west outside of the big 7 which was full of moderated groups and policies, but there definitely Is No Cabel [1] keeping an eye on things. Even many alt.* groups had people trying with various degrees of success to keep things on topic and moderated.

The Fediverse is the same way: You can have the wild west, but much of it is kept separate with active defederation so you may need to find smaller instances, run your own or simply have a second account. That doesn't mean it's not there.

Yeah - that seems to be about Russia being a state sponsor of terrorism (e.g. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IP...)

A common misconception is that e-bikes do not require any physical exertion to use.

In the EU it's generally only legal to use a pedelec, which offers assistance when pedalling, but does not have a throttle that allows you to move without pedalling.

The motor is limited to providing assistance when travelling up to 25KM/h (15.5MPH).

So an e-bike in most parts of the world makes pedalling easier, but still requires physical exertion.

I can assure you that going up a steep hill with an e-bike is still pretty tiring!

In my experience, the e-bike makes it feasible to travel further before getting tired.

As someone who had to endure IE6 on the web, I disagree.

There is a difference between "planned obsolescence" and "not wanting to spend a disproportionate amount of development time making sure old devices work".

If 6% of Android users globally are on an ancient OS version, how many man-hours would it be sensible for my to spend testing that our systems work for them? How many of those 6% are likely to be paying customers for us?

Where could we source enough Android devices with pre-7.1 OS versions? How much time and money would that cost?
Yes, they are doing the improving, but then you need loads of money to do the learning no university can afford. So now big tech is hiring promising university researchers for good money to scale up their research.
This could be solved by massive decentralization where millions of users provide compute with their gpus and i think it will be at some point, cause i believe foss is more powerful than this openai bs.
There are people working on this, but afaik the techniques aren't quite there. You need a different kind of model with much more parallelization then what is currently used.
Only if said OS exists. It does require a critical mass of users otherwise drivers wouldn't exist for desktop hardware and distros wouldn't exist. We're just lucky that the critical mass is actually quite low.
Maybe for side quests but even that would be a debug hell.

The recommended spec is 4 cores and 6GB. Running this 24/7 for a year in US where the carbon intensity is about 400 gCO₂eq/kWh would produce about 150kg of CO2 per user per year.

The web/cloud world is so much nonsense. First, why do you even need HTTPS on a trusted network. Also if you want a trusted network, why not just use IPSec? HTTPS was specifically built to work over the Internet because it was too hard to switch from IPv4.

Second, if it's private, surely you can just use your own Certificate Authority, instead of paying a tax to be listed on someone else's Certificate Authority.

Wow, knew next to nothing about atmos before today. He does a good job, and he really didn't miss. I like him.
Most of the time those packages, or the build files for them, are contributed by the distributions themselves, or avid users of those distros. (Reference: I have multiple software projects I've created that are a part of every Linux distribution. I've never packaged any of them myself.) Even big enterprise companies usually work directly with the distros under NDA, and the distros produce the packages.

That works for FOSS, but not for smaller closed-source consumer apps. And it's not just building, it's also testing and debugging. It's just not tractable for a small company to test on dozens of different distros / versions for such a small percentage of users.
I am happy to run Linux on servers and Windows on the desktop, for me that means the right tool for the right job.

Neat! I built a similar chess variant based on Chess 2 by Dave Sirlin[0]. You can play that one online here: https://www.chess2online.com

The nice part about Chess 2 is that the different armies are playable in any combination, which adds lots of variety to the game (although there are some balance issues which are addressed through the official tournament rules).

[0] Apparently Sirlin didn't really like the rule set he published so he fundamentally changed the rules a while back but kept calling it Chess 2, unfortunately.

Uh, I'm like 99% sure _every_ server defederates with many other servers. You have to to not federate anime waifus and other generally undesirable content.

Defederation is merely a moderation tool to prune your graph to nodes with similar moderation criteria. People right now are talking about defederating with Threads on ideological grounds but whether or not it happens doesn't really matter. If they want to cut out that part of the social graph, that's their prerogative and others can make the other decision.
