It is useful to mention running inference on modern cpus that have AVX2 is not that bad. Sure it is slower than on the gpu, but you get the benefit of having a single long continuous region of ram.

But there is one huge problem why this is not that popular on x86_64. Having to run in fp32. As far as I know our most common ml libraries (pytorch, tf, onnx etc) do not have an option to quantize to 4 bits and they don't have an option to run inference at anything other than fp32 on the x86_64 cpus.

It is a huge shame. There is openvino which supports int8, but if you can't easily quantize large models without a gpu, what use is it? (For small models I suppose).

So if anyone figured out a way to quantize a transformer model to 4/8 bit and run it on the x86_64 cpu platform I'm very interested in hearing about it.

One can only speculate about this, but it isn't surprising. In a culture where equity and leftist ideals are rampant, and people get their feelings hurt for having a discussion, you'd expect people to err on the side of caution and make everything seem more equal and thus overcompensate, therefore paying men less.

As someone who developes software I can tell you that I have seen those three work:

A) if I am motivated, in the mood and it is my project I can program a thing in one go (e.g. if I have no dayjob, healthy breaks, time for sports, etc)

B) One of my employers wanted software, while my dayjob was something else. I told them I can do it if I get a fixed day on which my other responsibilities don't need to be taken care of. After half a year the project was finished. The biggest delaying factor were external partners who used the "sprint" model.

C) I do my current private project on two mornings in the week before work when I have time, it makes good progress.

If you need to constantly crunch to finish things you are either bad at management or you have perpetual bad luck, one of which is more likely.

Everything if done well takes a certain amount of time. And because things never go as planned and requirements change you can multiply that time by the value of pi. Additionally you should ensure that time is actually available for your employees and not something where they need to fulfill other crap (especially not your crap). If your employees are not totally incompetent (your responsibility again), you should be able to finish that project without a single hour overtime or any need to crunch at all.

The problem starts when managers confuse how long they wish something would take with how long something actually takes. Often managers promise things go faster because they don't dare to break the illusions of their superiours (or gamble on the slim chance that they can whip their team into finishing faster to then reap the fruit of that success).

Things take as long as they take. Multiply by arbitrary, pessimistic safety factors, you will finish it slow and steady on time, while still leaving space to try some things out.

if you read my post I was asking specifically asking for FANGS, because its pretty obvious to anyone with access to google, that its possible to change IP agreements

the question was not IF i could change IP agreements, the question was if FANGs TEND to BUDGE on requests to change IP agreements. they clearly have more negotiating power than some smaller or nontech company, with a lower level of access to talent. so say if someone were have negotiated an IP agreement with a startup, that would not shed light any data on what FANGs tend to do

the question was not about technical feasibility, the question was about probability.

did anyone else (in the US) watch "Channel One" in middle and/or high school?

---

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

> Channel One was controversial[12] largely because of the commercial content of the show. Critics claimed that it was a problem in classrooms because it forced children to watch ads and wasted class time and tax dollars.[13] Supporters argued that the ads were necessary to help keep the program running and lease TVs, VCRs, and satellite dishes to schools, as well as commercial-free educational video through Channel One Connection. In 2006, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that research indicated that children who watched Channel One remembered the commercials more than they remembered the news.[14]

> Another criticism, noted by Media Education Foundation's documentary Captive Audience, was that very little time was dedicated to actual news and that the majority of the programming was corporate marketing and PR tie-ins to promote products and services, arguing that it further corrupted the school setting with consumerism. [15]

it was an ABC news network show (also, in hindsight, a kind of "farm league" for later news network talent, lol) for middle and high school kids, and it was roughly 33% advertisements. I guess maybe it's not a thing anymore?

but, man... every other commercial on the damn thing—at least when I was in middle and high school—was for various prescription acne treatments. kind of messed up when you think about it, explicitly targeting prescription medications in advertisements that legally underage youths are mandated to watch by their local governments school systems due to them making deals with news networks, all funded by advertising, both pharmaceutical and otherwise.

pretty dystopian and fucked up when you think about it, in hindsight.

hmm.

> From what I can tell (having admittedly only read books/watched urban planning videos/watched ride videos about it and not been there myself yet), neighborhood streets tend not to get used as through-routes. Sometimes because it's naturally slowed by the street design (so why take the slower streets instead of the faster one nearby?), and sometimes because they use barriers to redirect traffic and prevent it. You're only likely to drive on the slower streets if you live there.

Thanks for clarifying. This makes a lot of sense.

As someone who has worked in both startups and Enterprise IT for over 30 years (including large Java based systems) I see a use case for Rama in large companies who have a lot of difficulty glueing many different systems together to achieve scalability. So I think that Red Planet Labs could get several contracts in the 100k USD and over range in large Enterprises. This is for enterprises who have the problem of integrating many systems to achieve scalability and who are already large Java shops.

However, I do not see Rama's initial market being startups, since they just want the simplest way possible to build UI + backend and want to iterate super fast with tech that their developers already know in the initial stages.
Meh, medical research in terms of psychology (disorders) is largely based on how well a person functions in modern society, which is sick. Since the OP asked the question in terms of sociology/evolution, it makes sense that the medical literature would not say much about it.
Tantalum-manganese dioxide capacitors ("ordinary tantalums") still have the highest CV product (capacitance per unit volume) of the common types, making them extremely useful. Their ESR characteristics (not just summarized, but over frequency and over temperature) are also very nice. Yes, you can get the same ESR characteristics in other ways, but they're still nice parts to use. (Aside: their ESR is higher than ceramics, and this is a good thing. Many EEs think ESR is automatically a bad thing. Do not trust anything those people say about capacitors!)

Ta-MnO₂ capacitors do have that one, minor, tiny, insignificant problem of starting on fire sometimes. This is not actually much of a problem anymore because people have learned how to build these things well (they're 100% screened at manufacturing), specify them (derate to 50-75% of nameplate voltage, modified by max temp), and protect them (surge/inrush current is mostly what actually ignites them, so let's not do that if we want them to live). The easiest way to use them well is to keep them inside designs (i.e., on internal signals and rails, don't let things off the board dump current through one) and they'll be fine.

They're great, and every designer should use them when appropriate!

Cuda runs on a lower layer than torch. There is not much competition to cuda if one wants performance, but if one just wants to run it there is cpu (openblas etc and Intel's MKL) and onnx.

It's pretty astonishing to me AMD has neither a proper math library (like MKL) nor gpu compute library (like cuda).
>They are all getting more expensive and all losing quality content. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a specific show I want to watch. Sometimes it’s on Netflix, other times Hulu. Sometimes something I want to watch isn’t even being streamed. It’s just massively confusing.

It's not confusing to me. I get pretty much all the content from Netflix/Hulu/Prime/AppleTV/Paramount+/etc. from the same source. Usually at the max resolution/bitrate that my equipment can display.

Yes. I didn't bring them up, because most of their customer base is still governments, and that would have muddied the argument.

(I think that (most of) space exploration should be left completely to the private sector, not just the execution, but also the financing.

Even if you think that the government should be involved in the sciences, manned space flight is pretty much a more expensive version of unmanned space flight.

It's useful as entertainment only, so far. Eg the moon landing was great entertainment, better than a Marvel movie. But also more expensive. I don't think the government should be involved in providing entertainment.

But in any case, after the moon landing, the amount of inspiration coming out of manned space flight has dropped dramatically.)
Private companies can levy tolls on their road just fine.

Ask HN: What Happened to searchyc?
While looking through pg's submissions out of curiosity, and stumbled upon searchyc. It seems like the 2010's version of Agolia's search. What happened?
I somewhat agree with you.

I went with Dormant as 1.1 has been in development for years and no official stable release. Changes to 1.1 are the odd PR here and there, nothing really from the main author anymore.

Yeah things like improving the encryption I would expect even with a stable but active product like this. Especially given ChaCha20’s widespread adoption and optimisation these days. Likewise I would have liked to have seen decent tinc phone clients (ios, Android). But this is a failing of a lot of VPN clients.

Just look at the release interval on their news page.

Honestly I think the likes of WireGuard, Tailscale, etc took the steam out of the developer. It’s a shame because I do prefer to have a diverse range of VPNs rather than just OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard.

Stimulants don’t have the same effect on everyone, and this attitude is incredibly dismissive of those who need these medications to function.

They’re a controlled drug for a reason, abusing them can have negative long term effects especially if you don’t need them.

> immediately invaded Ukraine as soon as they again didn’t have a Russia-compliant leader.

The fact that the Russia-compliant leader was democratically elected, and was removed from power not by democratic means, but by a revolution in which one side was directly supported by Russia, and the other by the USA [1] shows that the situation is much more complex than that.

> And the same people seem to forget that the ultimatum in 2021 was during the war of aggression launched in 2014,

That's true and the fact Russia was prepared to do that after Ukraine started going directly against its interests should have shown that they were absolutely not afraid to start a war over the issue, and Ukraine knew all too well it was playing with fire by continuing on the exact same path. Are we going to just pretend that when your country has just lost a huge are to a larger neighbour who doesn't like the direction you're moving towards, that the right thing to do is to double down on that direction and hope that you'll have the support of your neighbour's enemies when conflict eventually comes is a sustainable way to govern?

> Even if it weren't, which other economies or stock markets do you recommend one invests in?

All of them. You can use something like VWRA.

The idea is not so much to increase your absolute returns, but to diversify to decrease variance. (You could then load up on leverage to get back to the same risk levels as before, but with higher returns.)

> It is also worth noting that American companies account for 25% of global GDP, which means investing in the American stock market (say the S&P 500) is an easy way to get broad exposure.

In reverse, American companies also make up about 50% of global stock market capitalisation. So even investing in a global index fund like VWRA still gives you quite a big exposure to the US.
Averages hide variance.

I wonder if it's the difference between "this asteroid" and "all asteroids". As we learn more about it, we can start to treat it like a process that has repeated, but initially we can't be sure if it's like other asteroids.

Consider a 6-sided dice roll. What is the chance it will roll a 1?

A person might think, "1 in 6". But what if this is a loaded die? In that case, we need more information before we can classify it as "a die like other dice". We can observe two rolls, and try to ascertain whether or not it is like other fair 6-sided dice; however, two rolls is not enough to be sure.

So as we're gathering data, we start to classify this instance of a thing (a die, an asteroid) as part of a series of things we already know about. The more rolls we observe, the more sure we can be that this is a fair die or a loaded die, for instance.

If I'm understanding how asteroids' trajectories are calculated, we can simulate THIS asteroid's trajectory (3% chance of hitting you, based on a little data), or we can just decide to classify it (perhaps prematurely?) in the series "an asteroid like every other asteroid that we've observed" and arrive at a 0.000001% chance of hitting you (I'm making up a number here).
That was an example, you can take it any way you want it (angular to react, react to angular etc) ... Don't get triggered. That's not the point.

Of course it can't happen if it's not easily if at all feasible. That doesn't mean that people don't want to do it.

The fact of the matter is that it seems to me that WebComponents are an attempt at solving an interoperability issue.
Or am I misunderstanding?

>The lines between what's considered native or foreign in nature and in demographics can be blurry, especially over long periods of time.

It's quite simple, actually.

If humans had any part in introducing a species to a given location which wasn't there before, it is invasive.

If humans had no part in the aforementioned process, it is native or at the very least natural.
