With SIMD, you always have to check what the compiler generates, you can't just write something and expect it to be vectorised.

You are right about this but everything else is far off. Modern software that runs slow on modern hardware has to be wildly inefficient to make a visible slow down. Even 'OO' programs that are doing lots of small allocations and skipping around in memory are lightning fast on 20 year old computers.

Modern hardware is incredible. It's a testament to just how bad some software is that it runs slow. Most software can be sped up by 10x-100x by going from a scripting language to C++. Most software can be sped up 7x-100x after it is in C++ by weeding out excessive allocations and paying attention to memory access patterns. That's all before SIMD and multi-threading.

You may need to find a new wife.

I mostly think of marriage as a framework for having children and even today question marriage if no children are part of the plans. But marriage also is a terrific companionship and sharing of one's benefits/burdens.

Gay marriage has generalized the concept somewhat, extending marriage as far as sharing of benefits, since marriage in the USA provides a means to pass Social Security benefits to a spouse (even after death).

For the last 8 months I've been developing a site I call monkeemath.com. The basic premise of the site is I scrape stock market related subreddits looking for comments that include stock market tickers, e.g APPL. The comment then gets sent to ChatGPT's API endpoint where I ask it to determine whether the comment is bullish or bearish on the outlook of the ticker it mentions.

You can do a lot of different stuff with this data, the obvious one is mapping the mention volume/ sentiment over the price movement of the associated stock. You can see this done here -> www.monkeemath.com/pages/movementgraph

Some other features the site includes:
- Raw comment viewing: View the comments the site scrapes in their raw form, filter by ticker, subreddit, sentiment etc
- User predictions: Users can make accounts and make predictions on the price movement of a given stock, you can then view other users' predictions, their explanations and how accurate their predictions have been in the past. There’s also a leaderboard on the homepage showing the most accurate users.
- Article Sentiment: Scraping articles from over 500 different sites and using LLM sentiment analysis to determine mention sentiment (click on a symbol to view articles that mention it)
- MonkeeMath API: Programmatically access all my data (for algo traders or other interested parties

> something that never/rarely happens here in Europe where maintaining the status quo and the "natural order" gets priority at all cost.

That's not a thing unique to Europe. Same goes for almost every Asian company with Korean, Taiwanese, etc. roots.

It even goes further then the Asian continent. For example the president of Samsung Benelux is June Young Park.
>This isn't a fault on Europe's part, it's probably just natural progression.

I'd say it is, considering they/we have decades of data on what makes immigrants successful and what not.

I'd argue that a good quality iron is important over the station, such as a TS80p or (I haven't personally used, but looks to be a good clone) the PinePencil over any cheap station or soldering iron or knock-off station in midrange ($100-150) pricing would be ideal for most people starting out. These irons are far superior to many good quality stations I've used and are more flexible in use than them as well.

I do agree though that you should really look into good solder, flux and desolder wick at the least too since when you're starting or experimenting mistakes happen and rework is just much more manageable.

I worked in this field and imo these preliminary DFT results do not actually mean that much.

I do not believe the comments on that other thread are from other practitioners given how confident in this DFT results they seem, when DFT is notoriously unreliable especially when funky correlated things might be going on.
It's not about how much you read, or whether it's too much. It's procrastination if you read to avoid doing something else that you should be doing.
I've gotten the memo, thanks, I've devoted a good amount of time to this stuff, and yes, some things are useful enough that they're worth emitting their relatively insignificant amounts of CO2 for. Obviously, it's the wrong direction on CO2, but we don't have an alternative for lifting stuff into space, yet. And even if they got to 10,000 Falcon 9 launches per year (they're at ~80, so >100x), it would add something like 0.02% of our current global emissions.

wrt direct vs. indirect emissions, rockets are incredibly thin cans full of fuel that immediately gets burnt. The direct emissions will almost certainly dominate the embodied carbon from manufacturing, especially when they're launched >10 times. Once you start including the infrastructure, it's less clear, but it's a close-enough estimate for setting the context in an internet comment. Is the value we get from an astronaut doing work in space worth the carbon footprint of a few American families for a year? I think so, I get the sense that you don't agree. That's fine.
Right, the depositors (up to the limit) don't have to care if it is solvent. They also don't get to keep any winnings by the bank.

The shareholder both get to keep the winnings and can get wiped out. So they are the ones who set the bank policy.

Factually, it seems that retail banks, those covered by the FDIC, don't tend to be poorly managed. There were some recent counterexamples in 2023 with rising interest rates, but in general bank failures are pretty rare. In the heights of the 2008 mess (which was in 2009/2010) around 2.5% banks were failing annually. That's not bad.

Transmission losses aren't a big problem for the grid precisely because we know we will have transmission losses, so we don't do things that will incur unacceptable losses.

The whole "plate a desert with solar power and solve the world energy problems" doesn't work because the desert isn't where the power draw is. Superconductors hypothetically permit the African desert to supply Europe with power.

As this goes from science to engineering, we may find other issues with that plan, beyond the obvious expenses (for example, current limits can be handled with more wires, but if the current limit is sufficiently small that's still a problem, this is no solution if the superconducting bundle has a hundred square meter crosssection), but superconductors at least put it on the table. Conventional conductors do not.
That is definitely common in my experience. Now calling the brother of my parent’s brother’s wife “uncle” might be a bit of stretch.
A high SAT score is table stakes for Ivy application, not in any way a free pass. Successful applicants generally need impeccable grades, documented community service + extracurricular activities, stellar recommendations, etc. Or alternatively, be a "legacy", meaning your ancestors attended that school, which is more often than not a proxy for "be rich."

I don't doubt your characterization of the situation in France at all, and there are certainly a plethora of great universities in the U.S. that have reasonably accessible admissions, but the "top" schools (Ivys, MIT/Caltech, etc.) are certainly beyond the reach of many, and favor those who know how to play their game.

But in what case is this the reality?

Science is generally dealing with more data than any one person can look at. Anyone with a laptop can provide unique analyses of the data which can fuel new hypotheses, which can be explored with simulations and further analysis.

the big machines represent a bottleneck only in the physical experiments that they enable, but a lot of science can be done around that.

Tighten the feedback loops by all means I say

Especially for public science, but that’s another story
One thing I really want in my compilers is a way to express expectations: if I expect an auto-vectorisation, or a block of unreachable code, I should be able to tell the compiler explicitly!

For dead code, this is different from assertions, or Rust's `unreachable!` macro, in that they tell the compiler to trust me, and crash at runtime if I'm wrong. I want the compiler to check my logic and fail to compile if it can't prove me right. If I write a switch block and I know that only a limited subset of values can possibly happen, I still have to provide code for all possible values. But I expect that code to be subject to dead code elimination, and I'd quite like to be sure that actually happens. I'm not aware of any automation around checking that code I expect to compile to SIMD actually winds up doing that.
that is a bureaucratic hurdle that has little to do with the actual desirability of the USA as an immigration destination. The fact that so many Indians and Chinese nationals continue to move to the USA despite the immigration challenge is testament to this.
> From my POV getting into Ivy League seems as simple as getting a high SAT, applying, getting approved for a loan.

Your POV is simply, factually, wrong; more people get high SATs and apply to the Ivy League schools than they can admit by a wide margin, and there are a lot of tricks (many of which leverage accidents of birth, wealth, and social circle) beyond that which go to getting to the top of the list.

The bigger ones involve the hyper rich buying buildings, and the merely very rich engaging in bribery which is higher risk when discovered, but legacies, padding applications with extracurrriculars for which opportunities are very much not equal, etc., all play a role.

That's a bad analogy that's missing context. I have a very close friend of my dad's that I called "Uncle Bob" when growing up. That's very different than reading a news article that says "Famous Person X is Famous Person Y's uncle" - in that context I would expect a very specific set of possible relationships.

Right. A operating a ship is a terrible analogy to operating a society because it's primarily a technical operation that requires leadership to make split second decisions that everyone follows. Obviously, a Supreme Court is worse than useless in such a context.

A key element in the US is that VC is a poison. With growth at all costs as a priority, many US companies are focused on getting whomever is willing to push sales over all else, this generally requires a name with a history of success so most internal hires are out.

The worst API I ever interacted with was the RingCentral Fax API circa mid 2000s

It was just a URL, you could POST a document at it and it would respond with 1 or 0

There was no debug information, no status indicators. Just 1 or 0

In retrospect maybe it wasn't the worst, at the time I was used to status messages and more rich APIs. It actually did function, and it did what it was supposed to so maybe I should take back my comment.

Worst status messages maybe? Things like this matter and can't just be an afterthought.
The `junio-gpg-pub` key is a blob in the git repo for git, ie

ssh://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

You won’t see it in any repo, just that one. This is not an easter egg in the git binary, just a quirky way to transmit a signing pubkey via a non-tree git sidechannel within the git source repo.
If I could enforce one thing, it would be to REQUIRE partial commits for everything from an UI. I can't tell you the amount of commits I have seen that need to be cleaned up from spare debugging statements to vendor files to things that need to be added into the git ignore.

The other thing would be to make sure people understand what things like 'squash' and 'rebase' to and how they effect the tree.

Also to explain if you have multiple features, please don't work on it all on the same branch unless you have too. (This is a internal workflow, not really related to git but how we handle merges)...

Yeah, a UI could be just fine for an experienced git user. In my experience though, experienced git users don't use it though, so it's a moot point.
Nim looks awesome. Does anyone know why it doesn't have first-class support for wasm? That's the only thing that would keep me from diving into it more.
I am an absolute layman when it comes to AI topics, but I have been wondering about this lately.

A lot of the hopes in regard to AGI in LLMs seem to focus on just making the models bigger, or feeding them even more information. On the other hand, some researchers in the AGI space seem to move in a completely different direction, trying to use neural networks to simulate different parts of a brain, moving away from language altogether.

But what I'm wondering is this: might it be a more productive avenue to consider an LLM not as an entire mind, but as a single part of an hypothetical artifical psyche, which excels at some of the overarching tasks of consciousness (such as acting within a cultural context and epistemological framework), but can delegate other aspects to more fitting subsystems? Could it be combined with other networks optimized for different tasks? Potentially, this could just be done by having inputs from other parts of this artificial psyche fed in as prompts, translated by an encoder/decoder of the likes of CLIP, i.e. a decoder that can translate ideas between different liminal spaces.

The work that I keep remembering in this context is Jaynes' Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind [1], which I stumbled upon here on HN [2] [3]. Jaynes believes that consciousness is not an innate ability, but a cultural achievement - in order to become conscious, one first has to learn (through others) to conceptualize consciousness, and to think of oneself as a thinking being. He insists that consciousness is not a necessity for human agency, and that humanity has been building civilizations and using technologies long before humans discovered (or achieved) consciousness. Jaynes puts forward the idea of an ancient, non-conscious human mind based on, upon other things, "verbal hallucinations" - thoughts and memories that involuntarily enter as associations, but whose origins are interpreted by the mind to not be within itself, but somewhere outside of it, such as in a divine monologue; thought, to the pre-conscious mind, is the incessant blabbering of the Gods.

It seems that LLMs would excel in the role of this "camera" of the mind - as the source of divine monologue and divine instructions, that can then be compared with memories, interpreted and executed by more specialized subsystems. Might it be feasible to give up the plan to make AGI self-aware altogether and instead build an AGI powered by a GPT-4 ascended to divinity, just as ignorant of its own existence as ever?
