HP, at least, doesn't seem to want to sell any type of server to anyone.

I recently tried to configure a Proliant DL385 Gen11, in order to give my sales rep a coherent list of "this is what I want" in terms of CPUs, memory and disks. And let me tell you, it's a sales experience that might just as well be a Monty Python sketch, it's so bad.

I mean literally, one of their subdomains had a certificate expired so that I had to add a security exception just to view the information. The page in question had select boxes that couldn't be scrolled, anything I did would just scroll the main page instead. Their other configurator (because ofc they need at least two different ones) was completely unusable, when you try to select a drive or something you get an explosion of recursive "to select that you also need to select this cable kit, one of those 4 cages and deselect that other thing" warnings. Like, if you know what to fix, just fix it!!

Motorcycles aren't loud by default. My BMW k75 is basically quiet even when you rev it. Turns out mufflers work.

Ask HN: How many of us have (nearly) abandoned Reddit over the API debacle?
This sounds great and all, but…. I live in an urban residential neighborhood and have a major hospital at the end of our block. Our street is a pretty big cut through street.

Yeah loud engines and music (and phone calls!) from cars is annoying, but that’s not where most of the sound comes from.

It is just tires on the asphalt that is so loud. I don’t know if this is due to how heavy American cars have gotten or changing roads from concrete to asphalt, but it has become quite unbearable.

The rise of e-bikes and personal mobility scooters has helped cut down on the noise somewhat, but I don’t know what you do about regular car noise (other than banning cars).

Also, whatever vehicle designer that decided the horn should honk whenever the car locks — you are on the top of my list!
A blog post, saying blogs still need RSS, without a human discoverable RSS feed.

I'd post a comment pointing this out, but a 'Discuss' link to a 3rd party site, not part of the blog, remark.as tells me I need to login to write.as

At this point I conclude the writer's failing to drink their own coffee let alone eat any dog food.
I once blogged about the lack of word for this smell[0], and came across someone else that has asked this[1] too. Just like 'petrichor' for the smell of fresh earth following rain.

I made up my own word for this, in Norwegian: 'Gammelbokduft'.

What typically happens around me seems to be that someone installs aftermarket headlights — often obnoxiously bright — and then fail to actually adjust them correctly. And we (in this American state) don’t have those types of safety inspections.

Or they just drive around with their high beams on all the time. That happens, too.
I do not think that matters much.

I don’t think your brain learned about one way streets and started fully trusting drivers to follow the law, certainly not the low-level parts that govern the “there’s something there you may need to pay attention to” mechanism.
I’m familiar with the pricing and the books behind such 8 kid daycares and it’s not so great.

Exactly. Those are very common fallacies / excuses.

> Add studies showing that even plants and fungi have senses and try to avoid harm

https://yourveganfallacyis.com/en/plants-are-alive

> since you kill plants and indirectly insects even on a plant based diet

https://yourveganfallacyis.com/en/vegans-kill-animals-too

"Crop fields do indeed disrupt the habitats of wild animals, and wild animals are also killed when harvesting plants. However, this point makes the case for a plant-based diet and not against it, since many more plants are required to produce a measure of animal flesh for food (often as high as 12:1) than are required to produce an equal measure of plants for food (which is obviously 1:1). Because of this, a plant-based diet causes less suffering and death than one that includes animals."

Of course there a biological cause...intake more calories than you use and your biology will store that excess as fat. That's it. It's been that way since the beginning.

What you're parrotting is the normalizing of the idea that an individual is not responsible for their own choices for diet, lifestyle and exercise. Outsourcing such basic and foundational aspects of being human is a *very* dangerous direction.

Be careful of the false gods you're buying; be mindful of who is selling that (and how they profit from that sell).
The Dutch word "Bromfiets" literally means "Buzzing Bike" where "Brom" is an onomatopoeia for BRRRRRRRRRROOOOOMMMM!!!!!!

The equivalent English translation would be "Pthththththbike".
This only applies to locally grown plants, especially permaculturally farmed ones. Modern farming and shipping kills tons of insects and animals.
There are exemption. And if you think of it, it is a lot easier to properly dispose and recycle the plates in a car battery than in electronics solder or glass.
I set up the company where I live, not in the US. I can't imagine the trouble to setup an American company and bank account without living there.

It was total liability too, otherwise I would have needed a board and accountant. But since the company had no assets (other than the invoice money for some days) or debt it was low risk.

That's a rather odd comparison to make. First of all, OP, like llama.cpp, doesn't use the GPU – in contrast to most Python ML code. It's not hard to write Python code that "optimally exploits" the GPU. You might call the GPU a "specialized environment to build and run" but it's arguably much better suited to the problem.

Second, OP, like llama.cpp, produced efficient and highly specialized code after it was clear the model being specialized for (StableDiffusion / LLaMa / …) works well. Where Python shines, though, is the prototyping phase when you have yet to find an appropriate model. We have yet to see this sort of easy & convenient prototyping in C++.

Now, this is not to take away anything from the fantastic work that's being done by the llama.cpp people (to whom I also count OP) in the "ML on a CPU" space. But the problems being solved are entirely different.
This article immediately brought to mind a particular conversation in season one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

Jenny: "Honestly, what is it about them that bothers you so much?"

Giles: "The smell."

Jenny: "Computers don't smell, Rupert."

Giles: "I know. Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower, or a a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and-and-and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is a - it, uh, it has no no texture, no-no context. It's-it's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then-then the getting of knowledge should be, uh, tangible, it should be, um, smelly."

They said traditional collectors had started looking at collecting NFT's as collectable art. It was known at the time this was the first time they came up for auction, so the idea that collectors were already collecting them is a liberal twisting of the words. Seeing something viable for collecting is not the same as saying this lot came from a collector.

Besides, collectors (namely celebrities who also bought in on the exact same hype) did start collecting them. It's a lost investment for all of them, because it was a stupid idea to think of it as an art collection right from the start. In the end Sotheby's doesn't decide what is valuable art - the bidders themselves do.

And you know their initial valuation wasn't so far off the mark, because lots of NFT purchases outside that lot were right there in the same pocket, and the hype that it was going to go through the roof was absolutely everywhere.

It makes sense to also note that people who bought NFT's that were based on physical objects (rare record albums, for example) are mostly all failing and flailing as well.

The only people truly succeeding with NFT's are the ones that saw it as an ideal way to launder money. It worked very well for them.
> Even though what you describe has, for some reason, become much more common lately, many exhausts are just loud for no good reason.

Not only that, they deliberately put speakers on the electric Harley's so the morons driving them could feel like "real men".

Honestly, if you want to make noise while looking ridiculous, just get a tuba and parade around the block!
Yup. I would much prefer if every ML model had a simple C inference API that could be called directly from pretty much any language on any platform, without a mess of dependencies and environment setup.

I don't buy it, and I'm both a motorcycle rider and a driver.

Some people like loud exhaust, period. It's a cool sound. It makes you feel powerful. Safety aspect is a rationalization for others and possibly yourself. In busy traffic, to another moving vehicle, sound is neither going to be heard clearly nor will it provide directional or distance cues. If they're interested in safety (or would like to think they are), ask them about their full face helmet, which motorcycle course they're thinking of taking next, and what's their training routine in the spring. Maybe whether they're considering a high visibility outfit instead of black leather.
I'm not sure if that is true. E.g. we might be able to synthesize smells like we cook food, where there is little to no danger of producing toxins from innocent ingredients.
There was no comparison between road noise and wrongspeak. That was a warning. The Cabinet wants boxes that hear things with precision 24/7 and can issue fines. Of course they'll justify it however they can.

It's a warning because the power will be abused. You have 1984 in your username - I recommend re-reading that book if it's been a while since you read it.

At moderate to high speeds you can’t even hear bikes until they’re beside or in front of you anyway. Loud pipes just fuel anti-motorcycle sentiment. As a motorcyclist it’s frustrating to see people vote for rules and regulations that limit motorcycle modification, but I understand why they do it.
Speaking of CLIP, I'm always troubled that the next CLIP might not get released as both OpenAI and Google are shifting into competition mode. Sad to think there might be a more advanced version of CLIP already but sitting in a secret vault somewhere.

Edit: I'm not referring to a CLIP-2 but any advance on the same level of importance as CLIP.

Backblaze performs some of that role.
Installing our own software is not the problem. Their ability to even know what software we're running is the problem. Web services should be required to work with anything that speaks their network protocol, not just a cryptographically blessed official app. That way we can adversarially interoperate with them.
In the US we have Area Forecast Discussions (AFDs) issued by regional weather offices. They are a great resource and I wish more people outside aviation knew about them. They will generally include a high level discussion, detailed conversations about each forecast period, as well as aviation and marine (if applicable) considerations. Usually gives some great insight into what, for example “chance of showers” really means.

Clearly that isn’t the case, given that ask culture has perpetuated itself.

Something like this: “I was thinking of seeing New Movie” “Oh, I’ve been wanting to see that” “I’m going Friday after work. You could join me if that sounds good.” “I’d like that!”

It’s not hard. You establish if someone is open to a date and it’s okay to ask if you’re getting the encouragement to do so. If you’re not, you drop it and save both parties the awkwardness of saying no.
I agree, it seems like there are a lot of decisions for the syntax to make writing the parser easier. It almost seems like the assumption is that there will be a robust autocomplete service available for inserting the extra notation.

The func/fn thing though with type inference of return values is especially annoying though because you won’t be able to hoist it to a package level function without changes to the signature. Subsequent readers have to perform their own mental return type analysis as well, and that’s just extra cognitive load. When reading code, I like when functions are extremely clear about their inputs and outputs.

I like that this exists though, and hope the project is successful.

This was the beginning of the thread: If you have a non-constructive proof that P=NP, it still means you cannot solve all NP problems quickly until someone actually finds a program to do so.
> magically appeared out of some pacifist commune in Berkeley. [...] Not true in the slightest.

My point of view is that both are true to a certain degree. Many Berkeley pacifists indeed did pioneering work in the history of personal computing. But it's also true that many were largely supported by the military-industrial complex, more often than not with direct funding. Both parties were well aware of the dual-use nature of the research output.

For example, cryptographer Whitfield Diffie chose to do his seminal research on public-key crypto, partially to avoid the Vietnam War draft (and according to a book by John Markoff, the interviewer accepted him partially because he was a hippie familiar with LSD). In spite of the military funding, he accepted the project because he was personally a strong believer on the civilian use of cryptography to protect civil liberty from state overreach ever since - famously attacking the weakening of the DES cipher to 56 bits under NSA influence in the 1980s.

This coexistence remains to this day. Many innovative research papers in infosec are still funded by DARPA and US Navy Research Lab, even though quite a few researchers involved are personally critical of the US government's infosec policies. This is often interpreted as a conspiracy to people who have just realized it, but it's a counterintuitive but logical outcome that has already occurred since the 1970s.
Sorry, I replied before reading the whole thread. Well. I have none of those good accouts on good sites like google or 365ish like everyone else. So yes.

There are reckless people in software development, and there are reckless people in the automotive world. Any industry is going to have people who cut corners to be early to a new market.

I’m a software developer, and being asked to test in prod is a massive red flag. It’s almost always prompted by someone with fairly little technical background.

It does not matter what one personally does in this scenario. It matters what most people do. If most people accept unethical or dangerous contracts as normal, then (some) corporate behavior that is unethical or dangerous becomes allowed, or worse (normalized). So it matters instead whether you are pro or against that, and what political action you take to steer that in a more desirable direction. We all (arguably) have an obligation to help steer society in healthy directions whether we want to participate or not,.

There's irony in using K'nex as an analogy. I hated those toys as a kid; sure, they're flexible in all directions, but all that flexibility means there's no structural integrity. To build something that doesn't twist and collapse, you have to overbuild all the connections and consider all the possible vectors of movement (gravity or applied) that need to be guarded against.
It's very similar in US.
I think a lot of managers would prefer to see someone sitting in a chair and being able to control them on a fixed (low) salary, than to let people work remotely and have freedom of managing their own time and a competitive edge of freelancing.
You are right in that I am making some pretty bold assumptions without any empirical way to measure accuracy.

My conjecture is that LLMs give us the example to separate thought from feeling by category.

And we can individually experience both tokenized/symbolic experiences and non-tokenized states of being.

LLMs cannot function, by definition, without language. But we know there is an experience of being without language.

LLMs are an access algorithm, like human thought, to the vast n-dimensional memetic data-store.

The data store imbeds the calculations, like a multiplication table vs arithmetical multiplication… or it might be more accurate to say that the mathe-memetics embeds infinite lookup tables in a finite space- it is compression. The algorithm to decode this compression into comprehension is much simpler than the encoded intelligence.

So now we suppose that thought, at least, does not require the experience of being that can be accomplished without language.

Of course, there could be “magical” happenings outside of the token processing algorithm in an LLM, but I think that the “it could be magic” hypothesis can be ignored as untestable.
>You might call the GPU a "specialized environment to build and run" but it's arguably much better suited to the problem.

I feel like the person you're replying to knows that the GPU is better suited than the CPU to do this task, and your argument doesn't really make sense. I think they were referring to the python venv environment with all the library dependencies as the "specialized environment"
