I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit Goldstone, up in the California desert on Fort Irwin. It's not open to the public very often.

I got to visit most everything there, including the 70m telescope. It was just a cool space tech nerd day of tours, presentations, and sunshine.

The dichotomy of the 70m antenna is interesting is that it broadcasts 450 kilowatts of power out into space, but has to receive and decode, "as small as 1 billionth of 1 billionth of 1 watt" signals from the space craft.

One of the reasons its on a military base is to restrict the airspace above it so that they don't accidentally cook some aircraft that happens to overfly the antenna when it's transmitting.

It's truly astonishing they're able to pull that off, frankly.
not using it, but thank you for the work you put in, highly appreciated, we only strive, because so many of us put in the work :)
Am not aware of any non-US countries having issues with this either.

The US is actually too strict, which is why we don't have any of the good sunscreens.
>Prediction markets are one of the (or just, the?) best ways of aggregating knowledge from multiple sources and producing the best predictions.

That's an extraordinary claim with zero evidence behind it. Do you have any evidence that "prediction markets" provide more accurate predictions than e.g. specialist surveys or other mechanisms? I don't see any empirical evidence nor any logical reason for that to be the case.
In order for a wheel to be used instead of a source distribution there needs to be one that matches your environment. For numpy you can take a look at the wheels for their latest release[1]. The filename of a wheel specifies where it can be used. Let's take an example:

numpy-1.25.2-cp39-cp39-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl

This specifies cpython 3.9, linux, glibc 2.17 or higher, and x86_64 cpu. Looking through the list you will see that the oldest cpython supported is 3.9. So if you are running with an older version of python you will have to build from source.

I just learned a bit more about this recently because I could not figure out why PyQt6 would not install on my computer. It turned out my glibc was too old. Finally upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04.

> when so many change jobs every 5 years or less

That wording implies voluntary.

The new loyalty relationship is immensely asymmetric: "the company" holds you by the heart plug (health plan, visa, vesting) while at the same time will boot out a substantial fraction of its workforce, regardless of merit, the moment a quarter turns yellow in some spreadsheet or the M+A pendulum comes around again.

There are very few places anyone can spend their whole career at one company even if they wanted to. I've been at this 30 years and I think I've had 10 jobs but only quit once.
If it was easy to get more volunteer maintainers, a lot of open-source projects would be very happy. :)
My only complaint with mine is that, since it doesn't have a heated drying cycle to conserve energy, dishes are sometimes still quite wet when it comes time to put them away.

I've found using the recommended rinse agent and putting them away within an hour of the wash cycle finishing helps tremendously. Since the thing runs at only 41dB, I don't mind running it any time of day.

This isn't a relevant paper, not only because it's not about home appliances, but because it's about a situation where there is information asymmetry. I can research everything I need to know about a refrigerator before buying it, including whether it's a piece of junk or not.

It's not worth arguing with people without experience in the field to evaluate this for themselves. At this point, the best we can do is minimize their impact on the decision-makers who need to make hard choices.
"Socializing the losses". It will happen anyway. Perhaps not in the USA, but in Europe, the 30,000 unemployed would get an unemployment benefit for X amount of months, their formetly-private-provided healthcare wouldn't be paid for (thus covered by the state), and so on.

So, doing the math.. does it make sense to 'inject $€ X million to keep the company afloat, get the 30,000 and their families fed, the money would come back to the state via taxes, in the hope that the company will go back to the green?

If one (not me) can crunch the numbers, it could (or not?) point to the direction that it was money well spent - and net-net it wasn't "$€ X million" wasted but a fraction of that(?)
> Some countris have mandated >30 meters of green area on each border of rivers.

I think this has more to do with flood plain management. Some countries prohibit construction within X meters of the average water level because that's expectedly where water will rise. In some shallow areas municipalities even build parks with no permanent structure because of the high probability those areas will be flooded, and that ensures no life is put at risk and economic damage is limited to whatever infrastructure was placed there (i.e., park benches, public restroom, small public cafe, camping ground, etc.)
I'm trying to think how I would reliably prove flame in a way that would resistant to annoying false negatives in the face of a very low simmer. (Somewhat ironically, this is probably the most important setting for which you'd need it. I'm not in any real danger of having a full-bore gas burner go out. I am in danger of having the lowest possible simmer blow out undetected.)

Over a long enough period of time, a sufficiently sensitive raw temperature sensor is probably good enough, but that's not likely to be cheap nor reliable/long-lasting.
In my experience leaving the system python interpreter the way it was shipped will save you enormous headaches down the road. Anytime I find myself needing additional python packages installed I will almost always at minimum create a virtual env, or ideally a container.

There was streaming video -- but not that day, largely. The big US news web sites were struggling to serve up even basic HTML, never mind a stream of any kind.

How short is short? Edinburgh looks pretty small. I just plotted a route from a random point in the center to a place called Bonaly that looks like a residential area, 5 miles away. Two observations is that traffic is pretty bad (red), so it looks like people drive even though transit is available, probably confirming my prior observation that people will choose to drive until driving capacity is used up or over-used then switch to other modes. 2nd is that transit will take 43 minutes vs 25mins of driving (and that doesn't account for waiting time, nobody has exactly perfect timing), so driving is still faster :)

As for cars it's actually one of the biggest things I changed my mind on in my life. I used to be anti-car and always lived in walkable areas till my mid/late twenties. Then I actually tried driving and living in non walkable areas and I couldn't believe how wrong I was :) Especially when I go back to visit walkable areas and it's annoying and getting anywhere takes forever, something I never noticed when I lived there because it was the default.
Agreed. Reads like it was written by a low parameter count LLM.
> That said, I don't agree with the dig at LLMs, ... [it] is odd in the context of open source.

I don't see it that way, if talking about the stricter end of OSS licensing. There is an argument for training a model with AGPL code meaning that the resulting model should be released in full to its users as a derivative work, for instance. Being an ideological complaint doesn't make it an invalid one, even if you consider that ideology to be rather dogmatic.
I have a old basic GE fridge with a mfg date of 2008. It's still going strong and I hate myself for fixing it because it's fucking miserable having to bend down to the fridge as a tall person LOL. (I really want a bottom freezer fridge, single or french door) In the last month I have dropped probably 5 glass items and shattered them because I'll hit my hand on something trying to put things in or out of the fridge.

You don't get to walk into a base and fly military jets either, but it's not wrong to describe them as being owned by the citizens of the country. The government owns the stock, and its performance either way impacted you (us) in some quantifiable way.

Because of US left/right politics global warming has become a political topic rather than a scientific one. Most if not all science points to global warming being man made and getting worse. If you deny it then I understand why you are getting bans. Though from what I understand Mastodon was service that got traction from the US right not the US left so you getting banned from it mean you probably don't understand the science at all.

I was just skimming through before even reading the comments and I hit what you were talking about on page 42 and thought "Wait hold up.."
Some are here - some of these are things people are using today, some are available but don't have much user adoption, some are technically available but very hard to purchase or rent/use, and some aren't yet available:

* Software: OpenAI's Triton (you might've noticed it mentioned in some of "TheBloke" model releases and as an option in the oobabooga text-generation-webui), Modular's Mojo (on top of MLIR), OctoML (from the creators of TVM), geohot's tiny corp, CUDA porting efforts, PyTorch as a way of reducing reliance on CUDA

* Hardware: TPUs, Amazon Inferentia, Cloud companies working on chips (Microsoft Project Athena, AWS Tranium, TPU v5), chip startups (Cerebras, Tenstorrent), AMD's MI300A and MI300X, Tesla Dojo and D1, Meta's MTIA, Habana Gaudi, LLM ASICs

I'm in the process of writing about this (I'll probably post in the hiring freelancer thread tomorrow, might like to find a freelancer to help me research and write it).

The A/H100 with infiniband are still the most common request for startups doing LLM training though, I did some research and a writeup on that.

The SEP covers vast amounts of philosophy and most of the articles are high quality and written by people who are knowledgeable about the particular topic. Is it perfect? No. But it's a good starting point.
Although the plasma cutter creates extremely hot flames, it operates at room temperature and does not require powerful radiation protection, except for protective goggles, and it is easy to turn on and off. This sets it apart from the blast furnace. Similarly, a cold reactor may require a source of high-energy particles with very high temperatures to start, but they operate at room temperature, are easily turned on and off, and cannot be used to create a bomb. Note that heat is the problem for an isotope breeder because the reactor will require more powerful cooling. It's not designed to generate heat or electricity. This doesn't mean that it's not possible to create a cold reactor that generates a lot of heat, but it also doesn't mean that such a reactor will be economically viable. We don't know.

I mean that it is time to stop stigmatizing Cold Nuclear Fusion because a reactor for isotope breeding could have been created 30 years ago, saving many thousands of lives. The hating of Cold Fusion has cost many people their lives. It would be better to allocate a small fraction of a budget for other nuclear power plants and direct them towards CF, because the cost of CF iteration is orders of magnitude lower, and a few million dollars or euros could significantly advance science.
Twitter's giant glowing X was put up without a permit, say SF officials
The original title was "Vogtle Unit 3 Enters Commercial Operation: First ‘Newly Constructed’ U.S. Nuclear Power Plant in Decades" but that was longer than the title limit.

This snippet from the article explains the ‘Newly Constructed‘ distinction:

Prior to Vogtle Unit 3, the newest reactor to enter service in the U.S. was the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Watts Bar Unit 2, which came online in 2016. However, Watts Bar Unit 2 was technically a deferred unit, construction of which began in the 1970s. Therefore, Southern Company has long considered the Vogtle project the first “newly constructed” reactor to be built in the U.S. since at least Comanche Peak Unit 2, which entered commercial operation in August 1993, or Watts Bar Unit 1, which entered service in May 1996.
I wasn't sure who "BHP" were, it turns out it's an Australian mining company:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BHP:

> BHP Group Limited (formerly known as BHP Billiton) is an Australian multinational mining, metals, and natural gas petroleum public company headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

> The Broken Hill Proprietary Company was founded on 16 July 1885 in the mining town of Silverton, New South Wales.[3] By 2017, BHP was the world's largest mining company, based on market capitalisation,[4][5] and was Melbourne's third-largest company by revenue.[6]
They also claimed that the union wouldn't meet them at the bargaining table. I guess if you're contractually obligated to burn through money, you do that until you're insolvent and go to bankruptcy court to sort it out.
I assume you mean my VC fund, Open Core Ventures https://opencoreventures.com/ that starts new companies around existing open source projects.

We believe that open core companies need to give back and the open source code base should be better off because the open core company exists. Features that appeal most to individual contributors should be open source https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2023-01-open-core-standard...

The article mentions the recent move of RedHat to no longer share their source code. I think RedHat is a special case because they didn't have any proprietary code https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2023-04-red-hat-model-only...

Open core can be done right and wrong (not giving back, etc.), for some more thoughts on how to do it right please see https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2023-07-open-core-is-misun... We're figuring all of this our as we do it, suggestions are welcome.

In fairness, there are quite a number of public companies that turned out to be operating partially as fronts for spying agencies (AT&T is the shining example here). So simply being a public company could not be expected to serve as some kind of proof of independence.
I think AMD is at the very least, credible.

https://wccftech.com/amd-instinct-mi250-boosted-ai-performan...

I think they are better than people give them credit for. They seem to have a stigma against them.

Nobody wants to make a large deployment of AMD hardware because there are of course risks involved and nobody wants to be the one to blame if it doesn't work out. I can't blame them, but that doesn't mean it wont potentially still work out.

All it takes is for a big successful deployment I think.
This story is Tesla propaganda by a Tesla propagandist. The author of the piece wants every EV maker other than Tesla to go fail. Look at the history of articles the person wrote. No surprise, it’s another attack on an alternative green technology. I doubt the guy even cares about green technology other than what can promote Tesla.

There’s no reason to believe that this a serious attempt to go green. The vehicles are already diesel-electric so it is simply a matter of hooking them up to electricity. And since diesel is not that cheap, you can get save money with an electrified system, provided you have no interest in ensuring green electricity.
I think strip mining is a good analogy. Like google has strip mined the internet and left a toxic pit behind, if companies have their way they'll do the same to any captive open source project, turing any public parts into nothing but minimum viable bait to try and get people to pay for something.

The question is whether IPv6 is really the way to go. Not speaking technically of course. End consumer does not really care about it and if you want to create (and sell) a product, you just cannot say "it will not work, get a better internet". So right now it means I have to work with IPv4 anyway and then it is a question of why even bother with dual-stack at all?

That means there is essentially no push from the masses and therefore no real reason for ISPs to even bother with pricing it and including into their processes.

IPv6 just failed to crack the chicken-and-egg problem. It did not offer anything substantial (or good enough) to the end user. Most of them will never care about not being able to get SIP calls working peer-to-peer as they will use WhatsApp or something like that (that works right now already).
