Why would this change my mind? They created Tornado, government said it was illegal a year ago, now they are arrested. I still think having a panopticon watching all financial transactions is bad, and cash should not be outlawed. I also think watching all my internet history is bad, so I use tools to hide that above and beyond what the default legal protections are, because I don’t trust the government, ISPs, and adtech data miners.

Yes, homemade is the best. My mom makes it with honey and pecans making them sort-of-Texan. I'm ok with the phyllo breaking a bit--once you slather it with butter, lay it in and bake it, who cares?
Exactly this !

And as somebody with a significant short position, I would add - "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" !

Their numbers for this and next Q are absolutely amazing. It's also quite "refreshing" - a company with great product, almost without competition (so far - it will come real quick). And fun part being their main advantage is probably CUDA and not even the chips itself (which by the way they don't manufacture - they "only" do the design).

But still - even with those numbers, and even with this pace of growth (both being absolutely not sustainable, and will probably reverse hard next year) - the valuation doesn't make any sense, especially given the current interest rates.
There are a bunch of startups trying to develop AI GPUs. Someone linked them in a comment a few days ago.

Hmmmmm, if you are not being forced by others into any particular Rust feature set (standard) and you are not being forced into any preexisting Rust codebase, then perhaps just forget the entire standard library, traits, async, etc. and go Bare Metal Rust[1], using only the Rust language features that you need and interfacing with external C APIs through Foreign Function Interface[2].

>Stop buying into the "Putin is a master planner" bullshit.

Getting up in the morning and following dictatorship 101 rules like the day before is not being a "master planner".

Authoritarian rulers fear coups. They use paramilitary entities to keep the regular military under control. When they fear an imminent coup, they continue to use such entities, because it is the real military which could have enough popular support to succeed.

The simplest possible explanation for the publicized events is that Prigozhin never stopped doing his job, never changed his role, nor failed to follow orders. A not-so-public, but not completely hidden purge occurred. And when Prigozhin was done, he exited stage left.

That seems to me the correct application of Occam's razor in this case. Everything else, in my opinion, is the wild speculation without evidence.
Vercel AI Demo Day and Winners
There have been various attempts but you need a workload that's basically public and also runs on a single GPU (because you don't have NVLink or similar).
On the surface, it's not debatable. Enterprises are going full steam ahead on AI. Building out an ecosystem to challenge Nvidia seems like a decade long battle, if it's even possible.
Even when you're doing nothing but applying and have a decently impressive combination of skills and experience, it can be quite difficult in certain environments to get a single offer, let alone multiple offers, let alone multiple offers coming in at the same time.

It's even worse if you lack any impressive skills and experience.

Aside from the fact that interviewing itself is really bad for my mental health, despite being in the bottom of the percentiles on places like levels.fyi, I doubt I'd be able to match my currently salary with any job that I could actually get hired for. So, looking up this type of information just ends up discouraging me even more.

Knowing that finding a job is less about salary and more about just being able to get an offer makes most of this advice less than helpful.
Train their models
Have you tried running your app on ARM Windows 10/11 and using their translation layer? It runs so damn fast, the M1 Mac is ironically the snappiest Windows machine I've ever used ha ha. Its faster than this 2019 Core i9 Macbook Pro I got sitting here running the same Windows app.
This is a good analysis and touches on the issue of entitlement.

All of the company's work to date remains available free and in perpetuity. The complaint can only be that the company has changed course and will not commit to providing future new stuff for free. The only way this complaint is valid is if there was a bait and switch - the company pretended that their new stuff would also be free forever. Without intimate kniwledge, I'd venture that Hashicorp never said anything of the kind and they're just trying to make a buck like the rest of us.

The more this happens, the less people will hold the naive view that for-product entities will by default keep providing stuff for free forever. Capitalism baby.
It made much less on profits than Interstellar tho.
Exactly, it's a smooth trade off curve from lambda calculus all the way to Haskell with 30 language extensions enabled.

You could learn lambda calculus in an afternoon, but then spend a month writing a single complex algorithm. You could spend 5 years learning Haskell, and then write the most powerful system in a couple minutes.

There's a sweet spot somewhere between those two, and Rust is definitely near it.
Believe it or not, there exists a closed-form equation which computes the nth prime number. It's Willans's formula:

Theta gang ftw. But I would advise you to stay away from NVDA, as soon as the first quarter with flat or decreasing revenues comes (and it WILL come), the fall would be one to tell your grandchildren about.
They announced Q2 results, ending July 31. Their fiscal year is a little unusual, it ends at end of Jan. So their 2024 year ends Jan 31 2024.

I mostly agree with this. It’s a lot easier for me to use US dollars (directly or indirectly through a debit or credit card) than pesos or rubles or yen. So I spend US dollars mostly through a credit card because it’s easy, fast, has generous rewards, and protects me from shitty sellers.

Good point re: implement/apply
To be fair, the conversion to AC to go through a transformer on each wart imparts a decent amount of isolation on the voltage supply side.

Does that actually matter? Probably not, but I find the comparison to Docker apropos. Sometimes it's just easier to add/keep abstraction/isolation simply on the small off chance that it's lack does get in your way as long as that abstraction/isloation itself doesn't get too much in your way.

Building with bricks adds 3x the cost compared to stick framing.

On top of that, they'll hold up better to a weak tornado, but anything over EF2 will structurally compromise one.

I admit that was a glib comment and unnecessary.

I’m really speaking about Nvidia’s ability to perform well in both hardware and software, at chip-scale and datacenter-scale. Also speaking of their product/business direction that revolutionizes multiple industries (leaders in graphics with ray tracing and AI frame/resolution sacking; leaders in AI infra and datacenter systems, etc.) all resulting in big impacts to their respective industries.

You’re right that many of those software-only companies do very real engineering with distributed systems and such. I should’ve been more precise and was really complaining about the SV hype of the 2010s focusing on regulating-breaking companies like Airbnb, Uber, wework, etc. and on companies like Meta and Google who focus on pushing ads for their revenue.
I can't read this unless I hack up the CSS to not be dark text using a thin typeface on a black background. I could edit the CSS so that it's normal fonts with higher contrast colors, but instead I think I'll go "someone made something on the internet and I'm not the audience, good for them, but I'm closing this tab again."

If they have the fuel available, may as well be very conservative. Either burn the fuel on descent or have it sit in the tank forever on the lunar surface.
The way I see it you will get cancelled no matter what you do. Some people do not like that other people have opinions that go against the marketing. So I say blog because it's better that spending all your life watching tiktok videos or influencer content. Be a producer instead of a consumer even if you are not getting a million hits. As for the AI scrapping the odds are low unless you are making tonnes of text that can shift the needle it won't matter. If your writing is unique it won't have a cross reference so it will be ignored as if you are speaking a dead language.

During the "migrant waves" a few years ago (2015+, when angela merkel invited them, then left most of them "outside"), our telcos actually gave out free sim cards with a few gigs of data traffic as a "gift" to migrants, and there was a lot of complaining since noone figured out that those can be used for tracking those people, both in my country and also other EU countries, wherever they went legally or not.
I don't think this is unprecedented: the USG's reasoning (appears) to be that all actions here were ultimately the product of human behavior.

Put another way: it's still a crime to kick puppies, even if you only indirectly kick puppies through your newly-invented fully-automatic Puppy Kicker 3000.

Edit: to refine the analogy: it doesn't stop being a Puppy Kicker 3000 just because you add a screening phase that eliminates puppies designated by the American Kennel Club.

I used to think like that, until I got a job there and... Oh, boy! I left five years later still amazed at all the ever more mind bending ways you can multiply two damn matrices. It was the most tedious yet also most intellectually challenging work I've ever done. My coworkers there were also the brightest group of engineers I've ever met.
> Diffusion models are only 'drastically easier to scale' because researchers have spent the past 3 years researching pretty much nothing but diffusion models

This is what tends to happen when you find a superior method.

GAN’s are fine, they have plenty of promise for tasks requiring rapid inference. But diffusion models beat GANs on robustness and image quality every time.
Capitalization in itself is meaningless. If you have 50% of NVidia outstanding shares, and you try to sell 10% of that, the capitalization would crater.

Exactly. More resources might get applied to improving it.
All I got from that article is that narcissism just means an obsession with yourself.

The person may be grandiose or neurotic. They may love themselves or hate themselves.

So this isn't really a specific condition is it? It's more like a symptom that can appear for many different underlying reasons. Asking "what it is" seems to be the wrong question to me.
I have never seen it referred to as financial year until now, but I guess it makes sense too. Fiscal year is the typically used term.
Extremely tough. I used to get unsolicited emails/dms from recruiters all the time. Just a year ago, Meta recruiters were literally harassing me to at least give an interview saying that I don’t need to join right away. They said if I get an offer, I can join anytime within a year of having received it. I rejected an Amazon offer just last year. This year neither of them have even sent a rejection email. I’ve applied to over 300 jobs in the last three months and not a single one of them has even converted to a first round phone call with HR. My guess is that most companies want laid off FAANG employees at a discount(there are a lot of them). After cold applying to 200+ jobs, I pivoted to applying through referrals. Nada.
"As compute and storage continues to get cheaper, we've decided to raise our prices"
Because I love F/OSS, the open-source strategies that I like best don't involve any code not being available under an open-source license, e.g., dual-licensing (Qt) and pure support models (Red Hat). And I also agree that open-core ultimately means proprietary software, if you need the whole shebang. It also means that certain features will never be accepted into the core product even if the community develops them, because they'd bridge the software vendor's moat.

But I don't think either not-fully-free-but-related-to-open-source model is as disappointing as the rug-pull of a license change itself.

Aside: I think BuSL can be a great license for software that's not part of any customer/user's way of earning a living. Id Software basically used to informally use a similar scheme for all their game engines (and maybe still do?), where the engines get released as F/OSS some number of years after the game comes out, and that has ended up enabling the development of lots of good open-source games and game engines.

It can basically undo the damage caused by our insanely long default copyright terms. Not the same thing as providing open-source code up front, but still a very pro-social thing to do.
Or it is exactly what it looks like. War was going like shit, Prigozhin got very angry and went off half cocked with no exit strategy, Putin did what Putin does and eliminated him (and what literally everyone who isn't using motivated reasoning to manufacture 4D chess situations expected). Putin blundered into a shitty war, Prigozhin blundered into a shitty aborted coup. Even if you think they're both somehow hyper-intelligent individuals, situationally there's nothing preventing smart people from fucking up and miscalculating badly, that isn't a paradox needing resolving. People do dumb shit. All of them.

Musk bought twitter, Lee Sukbae and Kim Ji-Hoon didn't know half as much about superconductivity as they thought, Stockton Rush made a submersible out of composite, Putin declared war on Ukraine, Prigozhin tried a coup.
Same here. I've once `dd`'d a VideoCD into a `*.iso` file and there's seemingly no app that can read it now. VLC only detects the video stream and plays whatever frames it can decode, but since it's mixed with CD layout and filesystem stuff, it's rather garbled.

I can't mount the file and also can't find any software that can make sense out of the raw CD sectors. Very strange.

That's why I said "I believe" in that case, to clarify it was a lay opinion. (For what it's worth, professionals I've spoken to think it's a reasonable hypothesis.) I was with this person for years. I tried many, many things to make the relationship work. You don't know how bad things got in that relationship. I hope you never have any idea what it's like to care for someone who deliberately hurts you; who, when confronted about it, tells you that it's because you deserve to be hurt; who tells you they are suffering terribly and want to die, and who begs you to kill them. For all of this to become part of your daily life, to seem normal and anticipated.

Read that a few times, and then tell me again I should have kept that person in my life.

To be frank with you, you're speaking from a place of ignorance. And I think that's fantastic, if you haven't been forced to cut anyone you loved out of your life because they were abusive to you, that's wonderful. I want that for everyone.

But you should be more careful when commenting on these matters.
> If you want a green solution they get charged from a solar or wind farm sitting near the port.

This is just you handwaving the problem away. You will need a very reliable supply of energy for this. It actual makes more sense to convert that green energy to something like hydrogen for powering ships. If done at scale, cost will be not much more than the cost of the wind and solar energy itself. Which is potentially very low. And nevermind the fact that you have nowhere near the capacity of batteries to power your ships.

> “Flat out denying the physics of this problem” you’re arguing that sailing ships don’t work.

The largest sailship ever has a displacement tonnage of around 5,000 tons. Modern cargo ships are closer to 250,000 tons. Sailships don't work at the scale you're imagining them. It is basically going back to the 19th century in terms of shipping capacity.

Last I looked at this the FCC had issued an exception to the normal rules against intentional interference. The resulting license is based on the idea that the devices will only be used under emergency conditions. Presumably the operators of the devices are having lots of emergencies.

I think the problem here is that the federal law against intentional interference is quite definite. So this is the best loophole that the FCC could come up with.

There's no section 230 for money laundering. If you want safe harbor from the crimes of your customers, you need to lobby for explicit protection in the law.

In this case, there actually are safe harbor laws in place that protect banks from being prosecuted in exactly this way as long as they correctly implement KYC/AML protocols. Tornado didn't feel they wanted to do this, so quite deliberately and publicly flaunted the law that would have protected them. And this is what happens.
