Why is the autocrat of our company, the CEO, acting like... an autocrat/CEO?

Hmmmmm.

I agree with other commenter - polish up your resume.

You can try to have a chat with them, but they'll hate you and you might get fired.

You can go to the investors, but they'll hate you and you might get fired.

You can send an anonymouse letter to ceo and/or investors and try not to get outed but seeing as how you're brave enough to post here you'll prob be first fired.

I don't think your situation is unique at all.

You can always quit, into another company or not.

If I'm your bestie, I'm saying, don't do shit. Let dictator run it into the ground. Amazingly, they might not. AI is so hot, if you got funding, you might be lucky enough to stick around.

Companies can survive and thrive with even a seemingly-catastrophic amount of mismanagement and chaos -- including nepotism and outright criminal activity.

KGTC keep getting them checks. save your money. start interviewing lightly. try to make it to the point the CEO either runs the company into the ground, or they are pushed out by the investors.
You pay even more for snitching! Nothing can go wrong.
> I think they wanted a freedom fighter based in China to criticize the CCP and she was not taking the bait.

Let's don't forget about the real-world context here which includes the on going large scale trade war against China, and there are US generals floating on a boat nearby ready to fight and won. Not to judge what's right and wrong here, but under this situation, you just don't think a Chinese, who's probably has good relationships with many of the negatively impacted, to further support the western narrative that (as many Chinese views it) too promoted the trade war.

The medias wants a perfect movie, a great story that they can tell and sell. Hero v.s. monster, good v.s. evil, this kind of things. And under this influence, many people views the world with this expectation. But reality is more complex, and everybody move based on their interests, including political ones.

The real question the media should be asking themselves is, why should Naomi Wu take the risk? She mostly already living her dream life, all is well for her and everyone she cares, why change it and diminishes her future opportunities?
Founders- note, you just experienced a mini-bubble. It is good to learn from this because it has commonalities to other bubbles. Fortunately, the cost of this bubble was only time and attention. Unfortunately, time and attention are scarce and precious.
School board member here. Although I'm in a rural district very different than NYC. I did an analysis on this. ~1/3 or less goes to front line instruction in my district (the 95%.). Around 1/3 to special ed. And around 1/3 to overhead.

So you're not quite wrong in the back of the envelope, but the assumptions are way off. For example, the 1/3 special ed in my district is consumed not by high paid specialists but by huge numbers of aids coupled with outrageous costs for a few students with services that require private drivers (with cars!) plus all the special private services they need.

>a lot of low-level optimization will have been done

And a lot has already been done, actually. A significant amount of it prompted by VisionFive 2's very availability, as the first mass-produced RISC-V SBC.

Unfortunately, the Phoronix benchmark doesn't reflect any progress made since the Debian snapshot date, which is over a year old, and thus much older than the VisionFive 2 indiegogo fulfillment date (March 2023).
> CATLs new fast-charging LFP battery is equipped with in-house technology, including fast ion ring technology, a new superconducting electrolyte formulation, and an ultra thin and safer separator.

... is the electrolyte actually superconducting or did something get lost in copy editing? Presumably it's not kept at super low temps and high pressure?
Driving costs down isn't sexy, but it is the formula for success.
That's what we have with v6. It's not entirely separate; it tends to be implemented together with v4 in the same stack of code and deployed on the same infrastructure. It's designed to allow you to migrate gradually.

> My only experience with IPv6 was converting an IPV4 distributed database to IPV6

I assume you mean patching the software to handle it... there are basically two socket APIs, the old one which was v4-only and the new one which works with any generic IP family. v6 had to add the second one because the first one was v4-only, but any replacement protocol for v4 would have had to do the same.
Selecting a blank column and pasting did exactly what I wanted (same value in each cell) and so - sold!
A lot of that was certainly just for the root volumes of all those ec2 instances (how much exactly is hard to know without more details). Which of course would have duplicate copies of the various base images for the VMs.

Although, that does bring up the question of why AWS doesn't have a way to share a single read-only volume across multiple ec2 instances in the same availability zone. In many workloads there isn't any need to write to disk.
Java 17, Hibernate, JPA, Spring Boot - all the way! Excellent combo! Reliable, high developer productivity, excellent community support, stable - have been using it for more than 8+ years now and won't think of using any other framework if I am going to build something in Java. Very easy to design, build, deploy, troubleshoot, maintain REST API Services! You won't go wrong at all if you choose Spring Boot.
This doesn't just apply to film photography. I own a small photo printer (a Canon Selphy) for printing 4"x6" high quality prints, and it's astonishing how much more engaging it is to hold a physical print or flip through a photo book, even if they're digital shots.
Really one of the most beautiful pages on the web. A prime example of what content on the web could look like. No bloat, fast, beautiful typography, SVG graphics not unnecessary jpegs/pngs.

You have my respect for making this and setting an example which I will definitely strive towards moving forward for my own stuff.

Comparing human hallucinations with model “hallucinations” does not make sense to me.

Model hallucinations seems to me like a fancy way to call the model results that make no sense (ie blatant errors). Plus it makes the model more humanoid.
It had a IRL component. Technically the last puzzle is still not solved. There is a good chance that one won't start until it is, but who knows.
I actually think that's a great idea! I considered doing it as part of my ingestion pipeline when starting out but honestly got a bit overwhelmed with all the options so put it on my backburner. Maybe I should take another look. I think it would be an awesome way to enable even more crisp zooming
Most people are out there to consume rather mundane material on pop culture, whatever dance is popular on TikTok, or perhaps someone who is hacking hardware in a bikini. These are pretty entertaining subjects that don't intersect with politics very well, and probably don't need to.

And ya, any content that we consume from China is going to be the variety that doesn't touch politics due to selection bias (the pro China position from China isn't going to be popular, the anti China position from China is illegal).
Presumably this is mostly undergrads. And as someone who works at UChicago, very not surprised...

Going to be piloting in hyper-local form first (one deanery in one diocese), but I'm working on a sort of Nextdoor-meets-Public-Square for Catholics.

First just a list of all local Catholic events with subscribe-able tags for target audiences, but then also a directory of local businesses run by parishioners.

Maaaaaybe eventually message-board-type features, but that's far enough in the future to ignore for now.

No idea yet if anyone will care about it as much as I do, but it's something I wish existed, and nobody else seems to be building it!
Bitgrid[1][2] is a continuation of an idea I've been carrying around since the 1980s, and tweaking from time to time. If I can maintain focus long enough, I intend to learn RTL, VHDL or Verilog well enough to get it entered in one of the Google open source chip shuttles. I think this approach to computing if applied to neural networks may offer a cheap way to get far more compute, perhaps exaflop performance out of a single chip.

It's an FPGA without routing hardware, which on the face of it, is the stupidest thing to do. However, because of the clocked nature of the bitgrid, you all data only has to travel to neighboring cells, so lines will be short, and clock rates should be able to be up in the gigahertz range. Instead of worrying about how quickly you can get a signal from one side of the chip to the other, the latency will be 1/2 of the number of cells across, if the signal takes a straight line.

However... everything along that path can be compute, and routing should be trivial. It avoids the trap with GPUs where they are Turing complete, thus hard to reason about. Like an excel spreadsheet, you can track dependencies, and know exactly where a given bit came from. The chip as a whole, on the other hand, is Turing complete.

If anyone knows how much energy in FemtoJoules an 4 bit latch and a 4 bit input LUT take up, and a static ram cell... that would help in estimating the real world power consumption/feasibility of this thing. I can't find a good answer anywhere.

I'm building a publicly-accessible Matrix app [0] for anyone looking to self-host a discord + discussions alternative.

More and more communities are moving to closed-off apps hidden behind auth, and not being indexed by search engines. This is quite unfortunate, and I'm hoping that Shpong can (soon) be a viable alternative that respects the open web.

Shpong instances federate with each other, and I'm working on adding ActivityPub compatibility as well.

We need to find an alternative system to using water rights... Perhaps some sort of geo based mass market? Maybe a more geo based version of how we price electricity?

A couple years ago, I tried to edit a page about the economist Deidre McCloskey to add some information about a campaign McCloskey had helped organize in the early aughts to attack & discredit the sex researcher Michael Bailey. McCloskey has tried to cultivate a pro-free speech libertarian image, so I was particularly alarmed when I read a thorough accounting of the Bailey affair in a journal article by Alice Dreger.[0] In fact, I had met McCloskey after the Bailey incident, and knew nothing about it based on the excessively mild portrayal in the Wikipedia article.

I tried to edit the page with a more accurate description: namely, that McCloskey attempted to have Bailey fired from Northwestern for violating "research ethics" and tried to have his license to practice psychology revoked in Illinois. Those facts seemed relevant to me, especially about someone who claims to be libertarian or "Classical Liberal." Wikipedia editors did not think so. The change was reverted almost immediately, even despite my citation of a high-quality source - much higher quality than the journalism garbage backing up many of the claims made on Wikipedia, yada yada. I eventually gave up after realizing one of the editors was on a moral crusade to suppress this piece of information, and none of the other editors were going to question her bias.

I imagine the same thing happens on thousands of other politically sensitive pages.

I think the EBS numbers are "double counting". Most of the other services in the list are using EBS under the hood, so I wouldn't be surprised if this number includes stuff like the Aurora instances, CloudTrail events, SQS events, etc that are also included.

Also, it specifically says "incremental capacity allocated", not necessarily used. Keep in mind that every EC2 instance launched also means new EBS storage is allocated. The article also estimates that 50 million EC2 instances were used for Prime Day. If you assume that half of these were newly created to support the surge of Prime Day, 25 million instances using up 160 PB of storage is only 6 gigabytes per instance, which definitely seems in the realm of possibility.
"The PC register on the 8088 points to the next instruction to be fetched - often pointing past the address of the currently executing instruction. In fact, the IP 'register' you may be familiar with is not a real register at all - the value of IP is produced as needed from PC by subtracting the length of the instruction queue from PC."

Dashing my childhood worldview against the rocks again, Intel.
I didn't know about them but after a quick glance I'm thinking...

- You don't submit your ideas through us; they stay between you and your LLM.

- It will focus on tech founders.

- It will be open source and free with additional paid features for the 1% who may need more.

- It will show you results without asking for more information.

- It will have a much more narrow focus; at front at least.
There’s people who thought we could just wire up ChatGPT to a bunch of API calls and have AGI by now. Or some similar version of bootstrapping an LLM.
It feels like you are being deliberately obtuse. This is not about taxes. A doctor who does everything that another doctor PLUS making sure you can afford your medications and will be able to take them appropriately will be a better solution for many people than just a doctor who doesn't do that.

Humans also very often produce results that don't make sense.
Finally. I’m tired of seeing zlib in QAT reviews alone - it’s largely irrelevant to situations where I might want to choose Intel (for QAT) over AMD.

I don’t fault Intel for choosing web frontend acceleration over storage first, but this has been a long time coming.
>Every lossless “compression” algorithm makes some strings shorter and other strings longer, such that the average space savings against all possible strings is neutral at best. This is a fundamental consequence of the way information works — there’s no way to losslessly map (say) 8 bits of input into 7 bits of output.

I think I'm missing a point here. Is it a provable fact that all lossless compression algorithms are neutral at best? Or just something that occurs in the real world?

I can't think of a good example, so I'll give a trivial example to explain my thinking.

It seems to me that you could have an algorithm which did not change any text, except the sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo", which it encodes as something much shorter like "<Buffalo*8>". The algorithm would be (very marginally) better than neutral. If this is true, then surely other improvements would be possible to make a lossless algorithm with real reduction.

Oh indeed they don't interact well with politics.

Which is why it is surprising that she engaged in so many online fights about politics all the time.

If she was just some hacker doing sexy hardware stuff then this would be nothing but a tragic story.

But Naomi wasn't that. Instead, she was one of the most viral Chinese influencers (in western audiences at least) who talked about international politics constantly.

She was the supposedly "nuanced" and "breath of fresh air" mainland influencer who was supposedly telling everyone in the west how things really were in China, from the 1st hand perspective of a someone living there.

Thats wasn't true at all though.

She supposedly had credibility to talk about these things. Or at least her fans thought she did.

But, in retrospect, no such credibility or nuance ever existed given the context of her situation.
This seems to be the case for many long-term websites I was once part of. A site formed in 2002 is heavily moderated by people who were on it prior to 2010; a site formed in 2007 is heavily moderated by people who were on it prior to 2012.

Fact is, experience is king. Someone who's been on a site for a year or two is typically knowledgable about it; but when you compare them to someone with a _decade_ or two of knowledge, it's far harder.

Not to mention the actual politics of picking someone who signed up only a few years ago. Obviously in some scenarios there is just an obvious pick, but, other times, if there is a candidate who joined in 2010 and a candidate who joined in 2020, and both are otherwise mostly equal, you look like a jerk for picking the 2020 user over the 2010.

This, unfortunately, tends to lead to stale ideas; nobody who's been part of a site for over a decade is going to push for things to be better, since they've probably been quite a bit happy with the status quo.

Ruby web applications have a history of absurdly high resource usage and failure stories compared with something like Go. If the selling point of this is for individuals and small businesses to run this instead of AWS/GCP, it may not be any cheaper once you start running this control plane.
It sucks and only a minority of anti-social people think structuring an economy that way is desirable. If you poll Asians, well under 10% say they would migrate to another country if they had the choice.

My large, tightly knit family emigrated in the last generation (to Canada, the US, and Australia) and it was devastating. We went from living in the same city to living on three different continents. Life is materially better, but there’s no replacement for kinship ties.
Sorry about that, I know nothing about education so I'm mostly trying to start a conversation here.

Given those numbers, we should expect $12,000 per pupil to go towards special ed (let's assume 10% need it) and $12,000 per pupil to go towards teacher salaries, and $12,000 for overhead.

With that $12,000, shouldn't NYC still have class sizes of ~10-12, assuming teachers make $120K a year (which is high, but perhaps not unfeasible considering NYC being fairly pro-public sector union and high cost of living)?

This also implies that the average cost per one special-ed student is $120K per year, which is very high, but fairly understandable given the needs you mentioned. In fact, special-ed teachers (assuming few-to-one class sizes) may make comparatively less than regular teachers given the need for aides.

Also $12K per pupil on overhead also makes sense, assuming a high cost for maintenance / repair, plus administrative salaries being higher than in other parts of the country.

This (again, very uninformed, back-of-the-envelope analysis) implies that policy objectives should focus on reducing special-ed costs while increasing quality of education, figuring out why we don't have smaller class sizes, and potentially reducing overhead (which I thought would be the most wasteful sector, but actually seems small in comparison).
Where did you read this, and what was the reasoning?
