Shhh, don't give them ideas.

What gets me is large parts of HP was cut (calculators, test instruments, laser printers, etc), not because they weren't profitable, but instead because they weren't as profitable as selling ink.
3rd party ink ftw. 6c a sheet is obnoxious. It is a good deal like service stations “2 cokes for $5” type deals are.
Im 10 years working with AWS. I strongly prefer Cloudformation, just separate things smartly between stacks. It has export/import for stack outputs too. Just look at the “root module” mess in this discussion and you’ll get why.
The final 1/3 of the book would be an amazing role-playing scenario. When you think about it, it's almost designed that way. The underground area, the floaters, the various "classes" of people we meet, their interesting combinations...
When working in Unity, I was honestly shocked how much performance gain I got out of a small app by moving away from LINQ to using custom allocated containers. That convenience has a cost, and games can't afford such a cost.
According to Algolia, this particular link to John McCarthy's seminal paper on LISP has not appeared on HN previously:

Of course, the paper has been posted many times:

Simple: it's profitable. One of the few profitable side ventures they have.

HN loves to simultaneously criticize Mozilla for

1) being utterly financially dependent on Google

2) putting resources into anything except Firefox

3) doing anything that smells like monetizing Firefox

> This kind of thing is why a lot of people dropped their land line.

Really? I get just about zero spam calls (maybe 1-2/year) on my landline (which I've had since the 90s).

But I could subscribe to extended car warranties twenty times per day on my cellphone if I answered those calls.

I always answer the landline phone because it is just about guaranteed to be a real call. I absolutely never answer my cellphone because it is a lost cause.
WebGPU isn't polyglot as CUDA, so already out of question, let alone non existing tooling like NInsights.

IMGUI is great but I always saw it as a more dev-backend debugging tool than a serious production UI framework. Hooks in easily and draws some very convenient visuals.

That's great for bootstrapping, not great for scalability.

I would really love the opportunity to clarify my thinking on this. Is there any way I could ask you to explain it to me in more detail? I can compensate you for your time.
Any CUDA alternative has to be on the same level supporting polyglot programming, IDE and graphical debugging, libraries.

Alternatives based on C or shading languages, have already lost before the game has even started.
In C++ there’s an attribute called nodiscard which solves this problem assuming the API you’re consuming is written well. When you apply this attribute to a function, the compiler emits a warning when that function’s return value isn’t used by the developer [1].

Lots of other languages take the same approach. Rust’s must_use attribute is basically the same as nodiscard.

It’s a nice way of solving the problem imo.

MatX: Faster Chips for LLMs
In the context of the story I believe that the mobile home would refer to a manufactured home located within a trailer park community. It's mobile until it is installed in the park and after that it is a stationary home, maybe even on a lot that they rent from the park owner.

Though these people seemed to be retirement age it sounds from the story like they are tied to their home due to mobility issues so that makes it less likely that they were living in an RV or camper van. The costs of replacing an AC for a mobile home in an established park would be high enough that they would probably need to get a loan if they are on a fixed income since the home likely has central heat/AC. If they had been in an RV or camper van the costs of replacing those units is considerably lower.

This is very sad to me. It sounds like their central heat/AC unit failed and they decided to replace it instead of going to their big box store and buying a window mounted AC unit that would function for the summer allowing them an opportunity to set aside some money to pay for repairs or replacement of the main system unit. Poor people in a rich nation. Over a barrel needing repairs or replacement of an expensive item that is critical for survival this time of year.
So basically exceeding the transmitter's normal operating range in hopes that Voyager 2 can hear it somehow. I'm guessing that between possibly destroying that transmitter (and having an expensive repair/rebuilding bill) and never hearing V2 again they've chose the first option. It honestly puts me in doubt on the chances that the self-realignment will work despite knowing that NASA have tested than mechanism more than what would a normal manufacturer have done.

> Someone, anyone, tell me which hypervisor doesn't enforce a memory limit on VMs?

They don’t mean the memory usage is allowed to grow indefinitely.

They mean, if your laptop has 32 GB RAM, and if your OS and apps consume 20 GB, it’s using 20 GB RAM.

If a VM has 32 GB of vRAM allocated, and the OS is aggressively caching, that VM will consume 32 GB of RAM on the physical host, even if only 20 GB of vRAM is being used within that guest VM.

Of course, every good hypervisor will have a way to prevent this from happening, so the article does seem disingenuous on this point.
I think the final 1/3rd of that book is actually a horrible situation to actually be in. "Someone else's dream" for sure.
Are those real numbers? Also, do you mean additive or multiplicative (i.e.: 20 + 20 + 15 vs. 20 * 20 * 15).
Have you played Dungeons and Dragons? It's not supposed to be fun as a place to really live, living in a land harassed by monsters, demons, no security, etc. It's an interesting scenario to explore creativity and conflict in difficult situations.

> modern statically linked binaries use a feature called Address Space Layout Randomization which (ab)uses the implementation of the dynamic loader to randomize where the symbols of your "statically" linked binary are going to be once the program is loaded into memory

Address randomization isn't a feature of the dynamic loader, but of the kernel's loader. As soon as you specify ET_DYN as the file type, the kernel adds up the fixed sizes of all the segments and the fixed gaps between them, and reserves space for them below the mmap base, which is randomized unless ASLR is disabled in the kernel. This occurs even if the program specifies no interpreter (e.g., if it's a dynamic loader being executed directly). The offsets between the program's symbols are fixed, even as their absolute addresses vary. If the program does specify an interpreter, then the interpreter has to obtain the program's entry point from AT_ENTRY in the auxiliary vector.

(Also, even non-position-independent programs of type ET_EXEC are partially subject to ASLR: the loadable segments and program break appear at a fixed address, but the stack's address is always randomized unless ASLR is disabled. Meanwhile, the kernel always attempts to randomize the address of the vDSO, except that if the stack is at the top of the address space, as it usually is without ASLR, the vDSO is placed below the mmap base, which is predictable but depends on the current value of RLIMIT_STACK.)
Don't read them for the sake of reading them. Read them to solve your current problem or trying to keep up with advancements in a narrow field you love. Most papers (especially the ones in deep learning) seem to also have a mathematical fetish (to put it mildly) where needless representations are used where none are required and are self evident (for example inputs belong to Real number set). It ends up making the paper pseudo complex and unapproachable. Most papers are doing average/summation/series operations but instead of just saying so, use the symbols all over the place. So even if a few papers appear tough, keep reading them and digest your first paper thoroughly. You will find subsequent papers mostly are a rehash of existing work with similar fetish to make trial and error appear like mathematically sound research. Once in a while, you would find some paper which is fully theoretical and try to prove that either the inputs/outputs/components of models have certain well known mathematical properties and hence can be reasoned similarly. These are rare and would be difficult to parse through.

PS: Best papers I have seen are from deepmind where the approaches usually described are novel, varied and path breaking. Worst ones are - well no names but those that just use training and eval sets generated by GPT4 and try to prove things empirically

It still lacks scientific models, though it is too recent a phenomenon for us to have an accurate modelling. Even then, in the last three years we had La Nina which kept the temperatures cold, while this year it's el Nino which is increasing the effect.

Leon Simons presented his findings in front of aerosol society.

FWIW (and I may have a bad ear) but I've lived about 20 years equally in the PNW and Central Canada and people in both places sound identical. (The only blatant difference is that I rhyme words like "bag" with "vague").

Otherwise the differences I've experienced most are in word choices. Words like toque and chesterfield draw blank looks in the PNW.

> The second example: thanks to harmonised EU rules you can put palm oil in your chocolate without loudly declaring it and still call it chocolate on the packaging. (You just have to mention the palm oil in the fine-print list of ingredients.) By and large, German customers don't like palm oil in their chocolate. So German supermarkets mostly only carry 'proper' chocolate. So we private companies regulating the German chocolate market, to give consumers what they want.

Except, Hershey has been using vegetable oils in Chocolate in the US, due to lower costs and lax regulation, for decades. It hasn't stopped them at all and is the primary reason the cheap commercial chocolates in the US "taste like vomit", to foreigners.

I’m fine with electronic money but bank notes do get replaced periodically. Last time I went back to England I tried to pay with cash in the pub and was refused since the notes had been changed.

Yeah, yeah. We've all heard the popular Dutch idiom. Repeating it ad infinitum doesn't make it true.

Atleast the Dutch are aware enough of 1860s-1990s history to leave out the "accidentally became" part.
It's especially difficult, too, because the stagnancy is often (hopefully) based, for better or worse, in humility, which is broadly a good trait to hav.

I’ve been fortunate to see all of those bands, on the recent tour and years ago on a Prog Nation tour.

Animals I need to listen some more too, not something I can pick up on in a single pass. This isn’t uncommon. I think DT is actually really approachable, but even still it takes me several listens to find the groove of the album (in contrast to LTE which takes even more time). Animals is just flat a lot to absorb in one hit.

Townsend was super entertaining and has a remarkable voice. But much like Buried when I saw them years ago, I like the music but it’s hard for me to get past the dirty singing. Same with Opeth, at the same tour as Buried.

But yea, the Townsend set was really fun.

I was only commenting on the setup, not the movie itself. I didn't know what it was and when the horror started I stopped watching it. The other poster who considered it a recommendation was wrong.

Good point. As per wiki:

> As of 2020, the total fertility rate for the world is 2.3. The global TFR has declined rapidly since the 1960s, and some forecasters like Sanjeev Sanyal argue that the effective global fertility rate will fall below global replacement rate, estimated to be 2.3, in the 2020s. This would stabilize world population sometime during the period 2050–2070. The United Nations predicts that global fertility will continue to decline for the remainder of this century and reach a below-replacement level of 1.8 by 2100, and that world population will peak during the period 2084-2088.

Whilst there is obviously nuance here, even assuming that world population peaks well before 2088, that means we still have a lot of growth to support until that time, and then we have many generations to go before we see a decline to a point where this planet can reasonably be expected to sustain us. Do you believe, given the pace of change we are seeing in this environments’ systems, viewed in the context of the actual tangible change we are implementing to mitigate the negative impacts to us as a species, that there is enough time for that?

EDIT: for some perspective, see also the current headcount: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ and expected future headcount: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/world-populat...
How do you call a kernel whose drivers and extensions are all in user space?

WWDC sessions on that roadmap state quite clearly that is the long term end goal, all the kernel extension mechanisms will only be available in userspace, with one year transition for each subsystem after an userspace API is made available.

That's not the operation being performed on GPUs that is the problem. The issue is that fundamentally GPUs allow for high performance operations using atomics, but this comes at the cost of nondeterministic results. You can get deterministic results but doing so comes with a significant performance costs.

Given Nvidia's past actions with 30 series supply and prioritizing AI/crypto markets over gamers back then, it's a fair if barbed assessment as they were primarily gaming focused before.

They are not beholden to choose a particular market out of loyalty though. They'll chase profit even if it means burning some bridges.

I think they're gambling on AMDs poor history with drivers continuing to keep a moat for Nvidia as the "good stuff"... How well that holds, we shall see.
Of the reasons he says engineers want to rewrite the code, he says: badly organized code, slow processing time, and ugly code.

Maybe I’m not an engineer, because I bet perfectly pretty fast code is an indicator you should reorganize it to make it easier to adapt, add more capabilities even if it runs slow, and put some ugly fixes in there so it’s useful for the end user.

Agreed that wanting to over-engineer and perfect something that should be constantly evolving is not a good reason to rewrite it. That sounds like back office bubble pretend-work.
