It's kind of an interesting idea. I'd be willing to let someone else drive me around by remote controlling my car, as long as a blaring alarm goes off whenever the network connection goes down. Some small amount of ML could be used to ease the transition, which defaults to "safely pull over and stop." That way at worst I just go back to driving normally.

Probably a terrible idea for a few reasons, but it was neat realizing there's an alternative to fully autonomous driving. Also doubt it would be legalized, but it's neat to consider.

An absolute clown.
I'm not sure I phrased that correctly. The point I was trying to get across with that sentence was not so much that web UIs are bad, but that if you are using a forge with in-browser support for reviewing changes (generally in the context of pull requests), then there is little benefit to sending "a commit sha and branch name" separately. Similarly, send-email–based workflows have little need to manage the repository in the browser. Email-based workflows and pull-request-based workflows are parallel in that they provide the same features in different ways.

We can quibble about which is more convenient (admittedly I find the former better in this regard, although I recognize that this is a minority opinion), but they are IMO both more-or-less equally viable choices.
What? I compile my arm64 system on a amd64 system and send them to my cache server so my arm systems don’t have to do the work and just download the outputs and apply them.
He's assuming transistors got 100x more efficient in 13 years, but they just haven't. CPUs of similar architectures got about 5x more efficient in the very best case (embarrassingly parallel workload where advances in core count and instructions level parallelism means effectively lower switching rates).

For GPUs it's a similar story - a 780Ti does 5.5Tflops@250W, a 4080Ti does 66Tflops@400W, for a 7.5x increase. Certainly not 100x, and again a lot of that is from much much more efficient GPGPU architectures.

TSMC themselves claim ~30-40% improvements on transistor efficiency every generation these days, which fits nicely with a 4-5x improvement. Manually multiplying their claims in efficiency, you get a 4.85x improvement from 28nm to 3nm.

I think we'll be hitting the limits of what silicon can do 3-4 orders of magnitude before Landauer's limit.
How are the unique IDs created? And how do you manage collisions with such small IDs? I am not sure but I think the collision rate should somewhere be around "~1 day or 33K IDs needed, in order to have a 1% probability of at least one collision." as per https://zelark.github.io/nano-id-cc/ with an alphabet that goes like this "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" and an ID length of 6 characters.

I have been looking for such a URL shortening solution for a client of mine and hop2 looks perfect with its minimal dashboard and simple usage. I am currently using a manual combination of Google Analytics and Bit.ly but it doesn't really work as I would. I have even tried building a URL shortener for this particular use-case and while I did succeed, adding analytics feels like a big task and an entirely seperate project of its own.
"split-string" works well for this situation but for a case where there are commas inside some of the strings it would chop in the middle of those strings. So for the latter case and assuming the commas are consistently formatted, a safer approach might be starting in front of the first s-expression and then traversing to the tail of each s-expression with "forward-sexp" and check to see if a comma is there as expected and then delete the comma there (except for the last item with no comma) .
I guess my biggest clue is that they're retaining this configuration despite the downsides.
Not sure about the causality here.

In the early days of YOShInOn I had an epic fight with it over two kinds of football. I consistently upvoted articles about the NFL and was pissed that it kept showing me articles about the other kind of football, particularly the premier league.

I started thinking through the ontology of sports for feature engineering (there is the article before the game, the article after the game, articles about players being traded, sports lowlights, etc.)

Before I knew I started seeing articles about soccer games that went 7-0, other games that were 0-1 with an own goal, and before long I was hanging on the results of every Arsenal and Manchester United Game. Either YOShInOn was right and I was wrong or YOShInOn changed my mind, or both.

I was talk with my son the other day about why YOShInOn wasn't showing me any articles about baseball: it is ingesting too many articles from MDPI journals that are crowding everything else out? No, he said, nobody cares about baseball and YOShInOn knows that.
How’s your math work? If they sequester 1 million per year and we produce 5,600 million per year, 10,000 of these would capture nearly 2x one year of emissions, not 1/3.
We can look at such numbers when it is relevant, and if the claim is that the virus was eliminated then it's relevant.

It was not eliminated in any country, at any time during the pandemic, the claim is entirely false. Whether some places did better than others is undoubtedly the case, but not only is that a different argument, and not only I don't think the numbers would support the goalposts-moved argument, it certainly shouldn't start with trivially falsifiable statements.

Feel free to make a new argument in support of lockdowns but try to start by clearing up the obvious counter argument instead of assuming the point to be good and true - Sweden and Japan could not institute lockdowns because of legal restrictions, how did they do in this league?

Those countries also did not eliminate the virus at any point, which only underlines how vapid the other assumptions made were - that elimination was possible or necessary - if indeed it still needs to be underlined.

You don't necessarily need to make that argument with me either, a top level comment might be more appropriate.

I agree, the curse of knowledge is so strong. It's so hard to be a beginner again. I like spending time with beginners in things I know well before I start writing tutorials.
Right, and I think there's an interesting transitive correlation here: As a customer of Render, while Render was down because of Cloudflare; is it appropriate for me to post on our outage page: "Service interruption due to issues at Render"? "Service interruption due to issues at Cloudflare"? What does Cloudflare post on their page? (Well, they may actually post "due to a busted AC unit in our Seattle data center" which, you know, at that point we've hit bedrock so maybe that's valuable, but)

Its turtles all the way down, and in the midst of an outage I totally empathize with the off-the-cuff thinking that oversharing is better than undersharing, but after the fog of war clears you can even retro language like that and come to a different conclusion. What value do my customers, even if they're highly technical, gain by knowing its Render's fault that MyCoolService was down? Are they going to go open support tickets with Render? I'd bet Render very reasonably wouldn't appreciate that, and they're not going to have a better trunk to their support than I do.
> When discussing human rights (which apply to technological freedoms) reducing a need to "an edge case" is the basis of marginalization, defined as "treatment of a person, group, or concept as insignificant or peripheral".

This is a category error. The use is marginal, not the people. You can't just uprate the severity of something because it suits your wants.
> ...people would would much rather attribute success to talent or intelligence than daddy.

Where does one get intelligence from? Your intelligence is inherited from your parents (just like any other physical characteristic), so if your biological parents have an extensive influence on your upbringing, it's completely possible that both nature and nurture, almost your entire existence, all your qualities, can be reasonably attributed to the family into which you were born.
I'm terrible at math, so here goes:

Global emissions of around 36+ Billion Tonnes/yr, so 10k facilities * 1Mtonnes_removed/year/facility = 10 Billion Tonnes removed /year.
= < 1/3rd global emissions.

not included:

+ all the wildfire emissions

+ whatever emissions it takes to actually create 10k+ DAC facilities, and operate them forever,

To be fair, I don't exactly think it's a scam (or at least, I certainly don't think it _started_ as a scam) but has just been horribly mismanaged to the point where I think it is now beyond saving.

It has taken such a long time to make that the technology stack it's built on is now horribly outdated, but it's also far too big to redo in a new and more fit for purpose engine.

They should have stopped adding more features years ago and instead spent as much effort as possible to get the basics done. I honestly don't think it can be recovered at this point.
Whenever a big corp decides to buy/acquire a small good team/product with passionate community, never take it in a positive way, at least in the long term.

R* might change those roleplay servers into SaaS to make money out of it, they might fire the good engineers/or engineers just quit after they are fed up with corp BS, R* might restrict some of these server’s features that got these servers popular in the first place like car’s types etc., so who knows.

This assumes one can afford multiple failures. Being born rich buys you a lot of swings of the bat. Otherwise you can't swing big, and opportunities to connect will be fewer--if any.

Rich kids can afford 'responsibility' because they have money to pay for their mistakes. Poor kids don't.

Best way to be prepared for success? Be born to a rich and well connected family.
If I'm understanding correctly, the OP is claiming that our current efficiency of computation is relatively close (within 1-2 orders of magnitude) to a theoretical lower bound of how much energy is required to flip a bit (physics and information theory).

i.e. making things infinitely smaller (even if we thought it possible) might not actually result in improved power efficiency per operation anymore, sometime soon.

Since ASML's technology (to the layman) seems to be mostly wrapped up in making things smaller, accurately, then I can't see how this would be ASML's problem to solve, if we believe that the Landauer limit can't be broken.

The onus would be on the architectural side, of finding more efficient ways of getting the higher-level results we care about, reducing the number of minimum-energy operations required to get to those results.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

How interesting - I remember being told this as a child too! Now I know its origin. Where are your parents from? My family is British, but I am curious to know whether the British propaganda had any impact on German culture too, and also whether it was exploiting a pre-existing belief that consuming carrots improved vision.
Strictly speaking I agree with your comment, but there is a lot of framing I think needs to be added. The basic form of the implied argument here is [a bad thing was predicted], [we acted], [the bad thing didn't happen] => [the action helped]. That isn't a sound argument.

1) If social distancing were left as an advised and voluntary measure, what would the impact have been? Because that would have probably captured the same benefits without violating basic human rights (particularly the right to assemble, but also a few others).

2) The modelling that justified the lockdowns turned out to be imagining a disease far worse than COVID turned out to be. It is open to question what a collapse of the hospital system would look like in practice. Or indeed if it would have happened.

3) As far as I'm aware there isn't reliable evidence of the magnitude of lives saved or lost. We seem to have come out of COVID into a geopolitical situation that could be mistaken for the opening phase of a world war - a lot of damage was done by the COVID-era policies. If there is evidence that level of authoritarian policy was justified it isn't being waved around in this neck of the woods.

What are you taking from these photos? That they're not tenured? They're all young and not riding it out to retirement? Several of themn look to all have been copied over from a previous version of wordpress in sept 2021 so they're many are at least 2 years old. Speaking from photos at a big company, a large number of people who are senior folks have college looking photos and they're entering their 60s.

My point being I'm not sure what you can tell from those photos.

This seems like a good compromise. Also, say, the r command which replaces the character under the cursor could also switch to a block cursor momentarily. E.g.

a|b

Type r, and b gets covered by a block cursor. Then type c, and b is replaced by c, and cursor goes back to bar.

> Do they not want to anyone offering anything that could compete with any of Hashi's products to be able to use terraform binary at all?

I think they want to make it difficult for SaaS products that embed terraform (or an altered version of terraform I would assume where they have built APIs) in their product. That said, customers can install terraform so you can still hypothetically have an "integration" with Terraform where you call the raw binary (like Atlantis). So basically, they want terraform cloud to have a "privileged" user experience is my guess.
I agree, I’m always interested in the fine tuning mechanics. Unfortunately most of the guides posted these days are selling a SaaS that simplifies the processes whereas I’m not interested in the glossed over process but the brutal details.

My grandfather was a relatively renowned medical researcher who eschewed funding to publish his research in the open. As a result he published a huge corpus of research across a vast array of medical topics, but those old papers aren’t indexed anywhere and without a corporate sponsor his work was largely forgotten. We compiled all his papers in his final years and bound them in a multi volume set. I plan to unbind them and have a company OCR them and so I can fine tune a model with them, and provide them and their references and citing papers in a vector db. I’m curious what of his mind I can recapture, as his every moment even in personal life he spoke about and like his language in papers. His only hobby outside research was shotput and trying to cure some beagle he rescued from a shelter that had some unknown chronic skin disease.

I’m busy at the moment but have been passingly following and reading papers on the LLM work happening in the open to prepare to do that side project. I’ve been kind of disappointed with the quality of guides out there and the rapid commercialization of the space.
it seems like this incident was isolated to a single intersection in SF.

i don't think we need to make an assumption that cruise vehicles shut down when they lose cell connection. more likely is that there was a situation on this street outside a music festival that required remote intervention, and when the cars couldn't connect to get that assistance they stopped moving. and that would be a sane design decision even at scale.
I think it depends. For me, fanless is super appealing. However, I have a Dell XPS 13 7390 with a i7-10710U where the fan is at 0 RPM most of the time I use it, and that is super satisfying to me. However, during a big compile, the fan does come on, sometimes it comes on at a high speed. But then, within about 30s to 1 minute, it goes back down to 0 RPM. I'm pretty happy with this, even though I love even more the idea of a computer that didn't even need a fan.
This obviously can't be true for African Africans. Even including former colonies.

A big issue is that many processes are either pinned to a single core, or, dont utilize libraries that make it capable of using more processing power.

Games are stupidly notorious for this. All the GPU power and highest spec multi core CPU in the world wont help you when the bottleneck is the simple fact of the process not doing multiprocessing is in so many apps.

Its not just games either of course, other popular apps do it too.
I find these sort of calculation engines very interesting. Here is my attempt to solve the same somewhat more geometrically in solvespace. Any good papers on the data structures needed to implement one?

I am not very good at math so I might of done something terribly wrong but the theory is. The rectangles have equal area, area is length * width, items with the same L + W will have the same area(this is where I might have gone wrong), create a structure where all rectangles are forced to have the same L + W.

> When you inevitably find software that isn't in nix (or are packaging your own software), be prepared to take a quantum leap in complexity as you now need to fully understand the nix language and its concepts like derivations. This isn't necessarily hard but it is not documented well at all, and there are factions in nix at odds with each other (flakes vs. nix-env) which make learning it even more confusing.

Exactly this was why I am so hesitant to switch to nix. I tried to dig into the details of nix, language, derivation and whatnot, but documentations and community discussions are, in my experience pretty segregated that left me confused, and I eventually went back to arch.

I worked in the AV industry - not at Cruise but based on incidents like this and other things I’ve seen from riding in Cruise cars - they absolutely need a cell phone connection and will strand or pull over (or stop in the middle of the street) if there’s anything more than a very transient break in remote connectivity. Fundamental parts of the stack assume that if there’s any uncertainty in a situation, a remote operator will be available to clarify how the car should proceed. The car can’t make certain safety or operational guarantees without this.
Skimmed the beginning of the paper, ISTM that a more accurate, less clickbait description of the work would be: For l-lipshitz-smooth convex functions, there is an existing best known bound on convergence rate with constant-step sizes. Paper proves a better bound with a variant gradient descent algorithm with occasional big steps. Unclear to me if the existing bound is known to be tight (i.e. if there exist known worst-case functions that are right at the bound).

Convex functions do not have suboptimal local optima, so this is seemingly unrelated to this as a known effective technique for escaping those, which other commenters are talking about.
That's incorrect, the goal of VirGL is pass the GL commands themselves (Gallium intermediate representation of them, actually), from the guest to the host, so they are executed on the host accelerated Mesa stack. It is not about virtualising the GPU hardware itself.

So it makes sense to one day do the same for Vulkan, which is much lower level and might be able to extract more performance.
