In the industry they are very literally called "tools". No one calls them "machines". E.g., "the fab is ordering another six EUV tools".

Similarly a lathe or vertical mill is "a machine tool". They're ideally suited for a very specific task in the process of making a thing. It's possible for something to be both a machine and a tool.

If we're being pedantic, the ASML tools (and indeed any modern wafer fabrication equipment) are also robots.

More related to the business of tool making broadly, however, the entire industry of semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) is quite profitable and margins tend to be generous. Much of the industry is very technical and does involve "bleeding edge technology", but not all of it. The publicly traded Japanese company Disco makes tools for wafer grinding[1], which are not really any more complex than your typical computer-controlled metal cutting machine tools, yet they are quite profitable[2]. Just look at those headline margin figures!

It seems to be a matter of niche and competition.

Every time I say I need to be active on LinkedIn I get repulsed by how cringe it is.. every thing about it is just so bad, corporate lingo, corporate music, false inspiration stories, arse kissing, list goes on, I don’t know why or how it still attracts people to engage there.
I don't see why PRQL can't support data mutation. Just have an insert/update/delete operator that must go at the end of a pipeline, and which takes a table name as an argument. An SQL query like this:

UPDATE counters SET value = value + 1 WHERE name LIKE 'prefix.%'

Could then be written in PRQL as something like this:

from counters
filter startswith(name, 'prefix.')
derive {
new_value = value + 1
}
select {
name, new_value
}
update counters
Some you may have seen this but I have a Llama 2 finetuning live coding stream from 2 days ago where I walk through some fundamentals (like RLHF and Lora) and how to fine-tune LLama 2 using PEFT/Lora on a Google Colab A100 GPU.

In the end with quantization and parameter efficient fine-tuning it only took up 13gb on a single GPU.

Emotions are not merely messages to trigger actions. Of course they reflect our state but not necessarily in an action imperative context. Sometimes emotion is just passive acceptance. I don’t disagree, and could not either, with a framework to process emotions. Just want to say that sometimes it’s ok to not directly address them in order to process them, to leave that envelope soaking halfway inside your mailbox. It’s ok to do nothing. Accept them not as nudges to become what you want to be but as reminders of who and what you are.
I can recommend this book. The most influential psychologist of our times explains the mechanics of anger. The basic idea is that we interpret the benign things like mistakes or tiredness of others as intentional and become angry at them. Our evolution predisposes us to interpret neutral events as intentionally directed against us. We can change that https://www.amazon.com/Prisoners-Hate-Cognitive-Hostility-Vi...

That is one lens to view it through. Co-adaptation reduction is another, and it is an intuitive one: generalization ability is improved if a neuron has to support multiple contexts instead of relying on other neurons to lift the weight, if you pardon the pun.

The bash script is downloading llama.cpp, a project which allows you to run LLaMA-based language models on your CPU. The bash script then downloads the 13 billion parameter GGML version of LLaMA 2. The GGML version is what will work with llama.cpp and uses CPU for inferencing. There are ways to run models using your GPU, but it depends on your setup whether it will be worth it.

I would highly recommend looking into the text-generation-webui project (https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui). It has a one-click installer and very comprehensive guides for getting models running locally and where to find models. The project also has an "api" command flag to let you use it like you might use a web-based service currently.

I would guess that it would be a metal spring of some sort that doesn't lose energy to thermal side effects of compressing and decompressing gas, for a higher round trip power efficiency. Or else it could be a relatively large gas reservoir so that it doesn't heat or cool the gas too much.

Not my experience. They tend to work well. The problems comes when you want to do something very slightly unusual.
Safari uses the Apple bucket, that is also exposed through the Apple's Chrome extension and also when you go to System preferences Passwords pane.

When you view passwords in Orion, you are also viewing passwords saved on Keychain, just in this case Orion's bucket.

There are various system API's that allow apps to read from each other's bucket (obviously all Apple apps have access to Apple's keychain bucket). This is how you can autofill passwords from different keychains in Orion (for example Apple's - which I call Safari's because this is how typically passwords land in it).

Your quote buries the lede:

During the 1980s and early 1990s, Usenet and the Internet were generally the domain of dedicated computer professionals and hobbyists; new users joined slowly, in small numbers, and observed and learned the social conventions of online interaction without having much of an impact on the experienced users. The only exception to this was September of every year, when large numbers of first-year college students gained access to the Internet and Usenet through their universities. These large groups of new users who had not yet learned online etiquette created a nuisance for the experienced users, who came to dread September every year.
I honestly would have assumed it was more a product of the decline in quality of the platform. AI growth just seems to be "capitalizing" on it.

I wonder whether we'll be seeing a return back to basics in terms of the internet/applications soon. I find it amusing how programs from the 90s can have much better usability, more features and better reliability than something released today in many cases.

The optimist in me says that it will happen as almost everything popular becomes enshittified and unusable, so the "old" alternatives come back because they are just that much better, so a new cycle of innovation starts again. The pessimist in me says that it won't happen and in 5 years, we'll be using our computers as slightly larger phones and everything replaced with hyper-monetised, LLM-generated trash.

Annoying. Had recently trouble with a translation file (Java properties format). Traditionally it is all ASCII with \u1234 escape sequences. Well except for that recently added "single quote" which is actually some unnecessary (and I assume unwanted) more exotic Unicode character.

Also a reason why I'm against Unicode identifier in source code. You got some source with characters like 'ö' in one variant and now your editor decides to use a different variant (e.g. compatibility character vs base character + combining decoration). And from my observation programming languages which claim to support Unicode tend to not make the effort to resolve those equivalents. At least for older versions of Go the specification clearly stated that they only compare Unicode code points. (don't know the current state)
So there’s a middling sci-fi novel from maybe a decade ago trying to tell the AI Takeoff story called Avogadro Corp. It’s not exactly Heinlein but it’s a fun little yarn.

The basic premise is that Google pardon me Avogadro Corp is doing NLP email copy-editing, but it takes too many compute resources so in desperation the TL hand wave sets it loose to secure its own budget, and being good at writing convincing emails, well, one thing leads to another.

Now this is very hand-wavy and involves a lot of magical thinking and suspension of disbelief. But that’s ok, it’s a pulpy sci-fi novel for fun.

Now this fictional scenario is dramatically more specific, more detailed, and frankly more believable than anything anyone has linked on this thread.

And I have no issue with folks wanting to LARP this sort of thing in a capital-R Rationalist forum somewhere: it’s a premise that has fascinated sci-fi fans since Asimov wrote his 3 Laws and probably before that.

But when it starts hitting the mainstream press, K Street, freaking out everyday people, and being used to turbocharge fear-driven land-grabs around intellectual property precedent?

Yeah, it’s time to do better than “But what if I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Was Real man?!?!”

Full tilt meant 200m walk in the park -> instant PEM. When you have no clue what is going on, stop applying your basic recipes on new health issues from pandemics, you would literally harm other people that could suffer because of your silliness. Imagine this condition being more like being at 3/4 of slow dying from asphyxia on Mt. Everest. It felt like I was 70 years older and started understanding what old people go through when their body stops functioning properly. I am pretty sure there is some oxygenation issue as when I went to high mountains and left the gondola at the top of the mountain, I almost passed out from lack of oxygen and that was only like 6,000ft difference. That corrected once I went back to the valley so I could limp back to my hotel.

>When we were poor, we built our own tools and we keep that habit even after we have money and our time is valuable.

This is a lesson in life that most people really only realize once they start getting old and see more and more people around them die.

Time is money, and as we get older we (hopefully) have more money but we only lose and lose whatever time we have left. Money is theoretically infinite, time is finite. You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time.

At a certain point in life, paying money to save your time (aka use someone else's time) is worth it no matter how expensive it is.
That's a really simple example though. I think the real pitch for PRQL is that the syntax is way more regular- the group operator just runs a normal pipeline on each group and multiple derivations with different operations between them don't need to all be plotted out in advance, just as an example. SQL suffers because it's not really composable, especially once you get outside of specific modern versions.
Hatred--real, actual hatred, not the pithy SJW definition--is borne from fear, ignorance, or grief. It is not a signal of introspection.

Ok, looks like I forgot this is HN for a moment there. Must have been excited. Yes, I am familiar with how science works, including the publishing side.

I’m absolutely not in favor of any more Pons & Fleischmann moments.
Yep, AGA was too little, too late. If they had put AGA in the A3000 (1990) they might've had a chance. The Amiga 3000 was my favorite Amiga, but it brought nothing new: It was an integrated 2500 (which was just an A2000 with expansion cards.) You could've had all the pieces (68030 accelerator, flicker fixer, SCSI controller, etc.) years earlier. Things like the sound chip ("Paula") never changed for the entire life of the platform.

By 1992, the 486 had been out for a few years. 386's with SVGA and soundblaster cards were getting pretty cheap. The writing was on the wall...
The underlying cause in both of those cases seems to me to be them doing something that fundamentally should not have been done in the first place.

It's the lack of foresight and the lack of good judgment that I don't see getting fixed.

Both of those incidents should have been completely avoidable with even the most minimal of forethought.
The beauty of this (for Google) is that since Google is not the manufacturer of these devices, despite dictating their death date, Google doesn't have to count the massive e-waste problem they arbitrarily created for business reasons as part of their own carbon footprint.

I guess it's the earth that ends up Scroogled in the end.
> My car payment alone is almost that much. Then my insurance is also almost that much.

Are you in Europe or the US?

My insurance at age 20 with an accident under my belt was under $3,000 a year. My 50k mile Corolla cost less than your annual car payments.

> Oh, and about $5,000/yr in gas.

That's $100 or two sedan sized tanks every week at US prices. At 30 MPG that's over 30,000 miles a year.
Are those really issues with musl or with code written towards glibc quirks?

> Meanwhile, I'm not convinced it's "not an insignificant amount of money" is the appropriate phrasing. It's a lot of money to him, but certainly something he can afford. Jeff Bezos famously put that much each quarter (so 4x the rate) into Blue Origin.

Still the billion a year is paid out to the banks and not used to run Twitter.

I wonder how much Twitter is making/losing now. Sure they cut a lot of staff but income must be in the toilet with ad revenues down due to advertisers getting cold feet and now rate limits further reducing the number of eyeballs.

Yep. But that doesn't stop me being sceptical of such a jump in success (from tens of K below room to tens+ above at ambient pressure) which is where this sub-that started.

As already stated ("I think I cross-pollinated this thread with..." in the post you replied to) I confused things by mixing replies to different posts in the same place.

Most contributors of any platform wouldn't be upset about anything. Conformance of the majority doesn't imply the rightfulness of the action.

"Enshittified" is a valuable contribution to the lexicon.
This book isn't saying it is a "signal of" introspection: it is saying it is a "call to" introspection. That is, if you choose to look into the feeling you can learn something about yourself you are not consciously aware of.

I wonder if you've ever actually felt hatred. Not of some general concept (that is more likely disgust than hatred anyway, and as far as I've seen is usually rooted in insecurity about whether the person earned their relative status and fear that on a level playing field they will lose), but of an actual specific other person.

I have.

It was sparked in how someone was behaving towards me and the consequences his actions had, but my reaction was not some rational response: it was an intense vicious loathing that could have rationalized any response I chose to indulge.

And when I looked into it, really sat and was honest with myself, it was because he was doing things I wouldn't let myself do.

Now, I wouldn't let myself do them for very good reasons, because they were bad things with bad consequences that hurt people, but there was a part of me that wanted to do them anyway. The intensity of my emotional response, which actually got in the way of me effectively responding to his shitty actions, came because I saw the part of myself I liked least, that I had tried to stamp out and destroy, in him. The feeling was evidence that I had failed to eradicate the impulse from myself, and I externalized all of that onto the person who reminded me that that part of me existed.

Once I acknowledged that, that some part of me was envious that he got to do these terrible things and get away with it and I wouldn't even let myself try, I could decide how I actually wanted to respond without being ruled by those feelings I had.
