- SSH access isn’t super useful. If I have to author a bootstrapping script for my system it’s too much friction.

- the people who thrive at this use orchestration, like Slurm or Kubernetes. So the nodes I buy should join automatically to my orchestration control plane.

- people who don’t use orchestration or don’t own their orchestration will not run big jobs or be repeat customers. It doesn’t make sense to use nonstandard orchestration. I understand that it is something that people do, but it’s dumb.

- so basically I would pay for a ClusterAutoscaler across clouds. I would even pay a 5% fee for it automatically choosing the cheapest of the fungible nodes. I am basically describing Karpenter for multiple clouds. Then at least the whole offering makes sense from a sophisticated person’s POV: your Karpenter clone can see eg a Ray CRD and size the nodes, giving me a firm hourly rate or even upfront price to approve.

- I wouldn’t pay that fee to use your control plane, I don’t want to use a startup’s control plane or scheduler.

- I’m not sure why the emphasis on GPU availability or blah blah blah. Either AWS/GCE/AKS grants you quota or it doesn’t. Your thing ought to delegate and automate the quota requests, maybe you even have an account manager at every major cloud for that to bundle it all.

- as you probably have noticed, the off brand clouds play lots of games with their supposed inventory. They don’t have any expertise running applications or doing networking, they are ex crypto miners. I understand that they offer a headline price that is attractive but for an LLM training job, they “vast”ly overpromise their “core” offering.

- if you really want to save people money on GPUs, buy a bunch of servers and rack them and sell a lower hourly rate.

Practically no one died in the Hindenberg disaster. There were more people injured than died. Most people involved just walked away from it. It was televised spectacle much more than a factual tragedy.

(It's a bit like saying we shouldn't use AC power because look what Edison did with those poor elephants. It's interesting anti-technological propaganda that made sense socio-politically at the time but isn't that useful to today's discussions.)
Yeah, is using a visual programming language worth it in that case?

From my perspective, Linux works wonderfully when everything runs smoothly, especially for desktop use. However, when issues arise, I often find myself delving into extensive documentation. I frequently encounter minor usability issues, which might be amplified for me since I use Japanese input, which has its quirks. Additionally, I've faced more significant problems with nearly every major upgrade.

While Windows isn't without its flaws and has had its share of problematic updates, it generally feels more stable during routine updates compared to Linux.

Linux does offer better recovery options when things go awry. In contrast, troubleshooting on Windows can be challenging. Nonetheless, I find the recent versions of Windows to be more user-friendly than Linux desktops. Plus, with the addition of WSL, I can run Linux applications — including those with a GUI — when needed.
The problem is that unlike „server-side computing“ the web browser and also mobile platforms like iOS and Android move pretty fast. Things change, and things break. Having a „stable version“ is great until a browser vendor decides to update/break an API an the library breaks. Now you have feature updates and hotfixes for an infinite number of „stable“ versions.

This is definitely an FP vs OO thing. If you wanted to refer to the value in an ADT you'd introduce a new type to refer to it, which in Elm would be:

type Message
= IncrementBy Amount
| DecrementBy Amount
| Set Amount

type Amount = Amount Int

Obviously this is a contrived example - you wouldn't bother if you were dealing with an Int but once the message gets more complicated it can make sense.
well, we do require foreign broadcasters to register with the US govt because we want oversight and a cudgel. If there were a threat during a crisis we should expect the US gov't to pull the plug on these broadcasters (and similarly TikTok).

TikTok has some good things going for it, but it also has a sinister side. Some oversight is probably prudent. Same goes for all the public-content streamers.
NYT will have to prove that the derivative work is still theirs. Just violating the license may not be enough. That could be bad by itself I guess. But considering the interactive prompt can produce a wild amount of variations of 'not NYT stuff' will make it though to say what sort of damages is this.

A similar sort of issue popped up in the 80s around colorization of films.

The answer may be 'maybe'? As from what I read they basically split the decision down to 'i know it when I see it' style of ruling. If the copyright is still in effect then NYT owns that portion of the output but not others parts. As the secondary effect would be owned by the generator company (in this case OpenAI) or the person who prompted for it. If that is the case NYT would have to prove what parts (nodes? bacreferences? weights?) they own?
LTO-9 can cram 18TB uncompressed data onto a tape. A 3.5" HDD is a bit larger, but we already see 25TB drives. They are much heavier though, so LTO has an edge on density per mass, while HDDs have an edge on density per volume. Tapes (specially in tape library) have a huge advantage in density per dollar as capacity increases linearly with the number of tapes.

OTOH, HDDs have much better latency, as even a powered down hard-disk will power up and retrieve data faster than the time it takes to load a tape and read it. I can imagine a number of ways to partition a HDD pool in ways that the access patterns allow for most drives to be unpowered at any given time.
Unfortunately, with takes like this, most of us will be learning this lesson after we've already overinvested into such an identity. How can we as a society be more proactive?
... how does this even happen? What bizarre use case doesn't allow for just using an off the shelf scripting language?

I've only done anything like this once and not regretted it, and it's purely visual scripting, if this then that style. Anything that can't be handled by an event that triggers a list of actions, then stops when one returns False, I will hardcore a hack just for that feature.

Most actions and triggers are responses to specific use cases.
It's amusing the answers so far are mostly all "well this is an easy question and he should have gotten it." I actually agree with that, but even so, he got rejected by Google but did get a job at Apple, which is what this article is about, and that seems like a far more relevant fact to me.
I suppose an unavoidable effect of the dimensionality reduction process is that clusters of correlations across dozens of dimensions are by nature hard to describe.

This actually seems like a potentially great application for LLMs – generating a semantic description of an n-dimensional correlation.
I wonder if the optimum is a benevolent dictator controlling the language and committee controlling the associated library. The community is then a sort of third ring of library evolution.

Inconsistency is more expensive the closer to the language definition it arises as the blast radius is wider.

Compromises and redundancy are more valuable in the library layer.

Lisp blurs the lines somewhat but it's usually possible to subdivide a system into a core and stuff built on that core.

Methane is not ideal. Liquid hydrocarbons would be much easier to store. They might be harder to make than methane, but then methane is harder to make than hydrogen (from non-biomass renewables), so by that metric methane isn't ideal either.

Most of this is correct - But Faangs have also been having their managers (eg EMs and PMs) do reach outs to make it look authentic - only to forward you to a recruiter and a standard 6 hour interview round (I know because I am not special and have fallen and almost fallen for this trap dozens of times)
It's intended to be a practical research language. Its niche is as a dependently typed language that is useful for writing real programs. But it also needs to be a toolkit for research into dependently typed programming, since most of the devs have to publish.
Show HN: Creative Chronicles (Wikipedia+ for Startups?)
Hi everyone,

I've been building this... I don't know what it is yet.. I don't even know if it's useful to anyone, but for me, as a SV outsider, interviews and presentations from founders and builders are the closet thing I have learning more about startups.

Often, the interviews before companies get 'big' are less corporate and more authentic, and I've found watching a few from founders chronologically throughout their evolution can be quite informative of how they thought about different aspects of running startups at different lifecycle stages.

What is it?

Xbox 360 Store shuts down on July 29, 2024
How do you connect your NUC to the Synology?
> Xbox 360 Marketplace, the console’s online store, will cease operations on July 29, 2024. After that day, 360 owners will no longer be able to purchase new games or entertainment content for their consoles, and the Microsoft Movies and TV app will stop working, too.

The availability of existing purchases and online game services will not be impacted.

For myself and many others in my generation, the Xbox 360 and many titles within that lifecycle were hugely impactful to online culture for us. It's sad to see the 360 continuing to ramp down, but also wild to realize its almost 20 years old and was still powerpc based.
Last night, I live streamed myself coding this Llama 2 Agent on a Single GPU (Colab). After 6 hours it actually has some good results.

How it works is it takes in your intuition (e.g. "I think x would be cool") and develops a business idea (with a name and branding colors) and a business plan. After the business plan is developed, it criticizes this plan recursively until the "Investor" prompt is satisfied with the plan. After all this it will generate the final MVP idea and pass it to a the React Engineer Agent I live coded 2 days ago (https://github.com/jawerty/10x-react-engineer). Finally once the code is generated you have an option to pivot.

As for the AI's memory, I have a small vector db for history of good intuition+idea examples to use as context (builds as you generate) and a simple backlog of business idea criticisms.

Overall, this experiment showed me that you definitely don't need OpenAI keys to have an effective LLM Agent for you. This is only using the Llama 13b parameter chat model and doing a wonderful job. I spend maybe 5 dollars of Colab compute building this for 6 hours which is way more than it would be to mess around with this.

One caveat is the final react code base often needs some modifications to the package.json/webpack setup. However, It's generating the components/folder surprisingly well starting from the entrypoint file. I addressed most of these concerns in this video but still going to fine tune a model that's way better in my next video or just move to a fine-tuned starcoder for this portion.

Let me know what you think and play around with the Colab if you can!

Very cool, thank you. Anything in Python?
The article addressed that in some detail. There's a number of downsides to implementing your own GC atop the linear memory, due to limitations in threading model, modular security requirements, etc. Meanwhile the browser has a very high performance GC sitting right there we could expose to WASM fairly easily. That's the basic idea of current efforts and what the article/talk is about.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer, but honestly the boilerplate is just a killer. I don't care about the additional flexibility when the code is so much harder to make sense of, and this is just a toy example.
Just casually reminding us all that computers have learnt to use language [video]
You are right most developers are not very good at that. I think it’s important to stress that this goes both ways. You should not cut your margins if you take longer, but I also think it is a little unethical to bill more hours than one spends no? At least if you have a clear agreement to bill by the hour.
Doesn't that depend on how orchestrated that decision-making is, and who's making the decisions (on behalf of others)?

When many instances co-ordinate to block an instance based on activism (Fediblock), they are censoring everyone on the targeted instance, many of whom may be innocent.

I typically run lengthy YouTube video transcripts through Anthropic Claude to get a summary. It's free and offers a 100k context window. After summarizing, you can engage in a conversation with Claude. You can ask specific questions about the covered topics or prompt it with queries such as "What were the standout points?". It's quite adept at extracting key highlights.

Bravo! This is awesome.
I wonder if part of the solution is for us to start designing the Internet for bots. We're entering a phase where websites are coded by bots, content of all stripes (text/video/audio/images) is generated by bots, and increasingly that fact doesn't necessarily mean that we want to block it.

The main tenets of apps that are resilient to bot spam are 1) scalability, so that they can handle huge quantities of traffic and bot-generated content, and 2) the ability to differentiate high quality from low quality content (regardless of whether it was created by a human). Ironically, AI is probably the solution to the second problem.
Outside of the USA, apparently.
Your last 2 sentences highlight the crux of it, I think - in the first sentence, you say "C developer" and in the second just "developers".

This actually does seem like a great icebreaker-type question for a C developer. I'm less convinced every developer should be able to go into that level of detail if they are doing Javascript or Python or whatever. Ideally they'd be able to at least reason through some of this and demonstrate some understanding of some of this, but I'm not sure it is a great icebreaker question for all developer roles.
Ah yes, the infamous "the blockchain can solve this" solution.
All Tor users benefit from mundane lawful "less necessary" users providing cover to all the rest.
It sounds like a problem at first glance but it isn't. For one, there's an easy solution: overbuild solar. With solar generation that is 2x-3x peak demand, you only need 4 hour storage to have a robust, clean grid with near 0 downtime. Add a bit of longer term storage and you've got a grid that's more reliable than the one today.

That's the conceptually simple solution, but ofc there's more practical ones. Mix in wind, some nuclear, different storage solutions (Ev2grid, pumped hydro, rocks-in-a-box, etc..), demand-side solutions (VPPs), efficiency improvements (insulation, heatpumps), a few of the hundreds of advanced projects being researched (solar in space, enhanced geothermal, iron air batteries, SMRs, etc..). Combine the 1000s of solutions being proposed, researched and scaled out and you have a very solid plan of attack.

Not really. It allows for the commoditization of RISC-V processors, a scenario where companies would compete in price/performance, ultimately lowering their prices the same way the PC standard built around the x86 forced system integrators to compete in price.
I'm working on an app called ScreenHint. It lets you take a screenshot of a bit of your screen, which then floats there above your other windows until you dismiss it. It's essentially a clone of the sadly-abandoned Snappy, if you're familiar with it. There are a lot of things I wish it could do still, but I'm worried that I'm missing some ease-of-use and polish items still. The app is free and is currently on the mac app store, but I haven't really done much to promote it yet.

Solar can produce on cloudy days, but can be greatly reduced. I've seen estimates at 10-25% of the normal rate on a very cloudy day. If there is no wind being generated at the same time it could cause issues.

Sure overbuilding might work, but only getting 10% of the solar and 0% of the wind would require such massive overbuilding it would probably not be practical.

I did mention interconnection. While it can help, there can be extreme weather over large parts of the country at one time. We have fires in Canada blocking out some parts of the North East. Imagine if there was a large fire happening in California and a hurricane in the south. As climate change continues that is only going to get worse blocking out solar in large chunks of the country.

The problem is determining the correct amount of storage. If we get 10% of the normal solar along with no wind for a week or two would there be enough storage? I'm guessing not.

It is good you agree that we need some diversity. So many people are radicals and say we don't need an alternative. I agree with your sentiment, but think we should also have nuclear not just natural gas. Nuclear is reliable and clean. Why use natural gas if we don't need to?
