Seriously though, the AI race has just started. On a horizon that matters for large scale and ongoing adoption (and thus persistent corporate profits and valuations as opposed to manic hypes) nothing has been decided.

The hardware and software mix that will deliver this large scale adoption is not clear yet. Past experience (and reason) suggests it should be relatively cheap (commoditized) and easy to use.

Achieving X but at 0.1% of the cost will be the game that people will thrive at, betting on gargantuan volumes instead of gargantuan prices.

Given "AI" is more or less linear algebra the world is crying for commoditized vectorized compute. Its a solved problem. The world will get what it wants.

I got the 6 months deal and I regret it. GeForce Now has now several times simply not synced back my savegames (Steam claims "upload not started"), including several hours of Baldurs Gate 3.
A swing with rigid rods (as opposed to ropes or chains) can potentially spin all the way around its hinges. If you ignore friction and keep adding energy at the right frequency (once it becomes a rotary system instead of a pendulum, it will increase as speed picks up) and jump off at a good ballistic angle, is there really any reason why you can't reach the cold dark voids of outer space?
If GP was bipolar or schizophrenic, and meds suppress that, he was on a bad place (bipolarity can be okay but you will alienate your friends and family.)
Remember when Skype resolvers where a thing?
Oof, yes. I used to be an SRE at Google, with oncall responsibility for dozens of servers maintained by a dozen or so dev teams.

Trying to track down issues with requests that crossed or interacted with 10-15 services, when _all_ those services had logs full of 'normal' errors (that the devs had learned to ignore) was...pretty brutal. I don't know how many hours I wasted chasing red herrings while debugging ongoing prod issues.

Won't point out all the double agents for the KGB that infested western spy agencies, (and vice versa) it's more of the same, really, and there's too many names to type. And those are only the ones we know of...

But yep, the NSA is a good counterexample, however also a poor one as they primarily operate in the signals/digital space, where passive monitoring is the default, and where paper trails are far easier to not leave.

As a thought experiment, extrapolate from the NSA to "the Bush administration did 9/11, jet fuel can't melt steel, it was a controlled demolition" conspiracy theory that implicitly requires government agents lining massive skyscrapers with explosives without being noticed, without anyone having a moral crisis, especially no-one in the "crash a plane allegedly filled with American citizens into a building in New York" division.

And you'll quickly see how the NSA's quiet operations in the small don't scale to the level of competent and silent government required for faking a moon landing, or ensuring no-one knows about aliens amongst us etc etc.

I'm trying to understand this as well based on the code you linked to and other comments - so the secret sauce of this implementation is the Rama library / framework / database? And that's closed source?

Also looks like Rama itself is in beta right now? When will it be stable? Will it remain closed source at that point?
I think the reason is that the 32bit games were first developed as 32bit for Windows. When porting it over to Mac, switching to 64bit would be a big amount of work that wasn’t needed.

Cool idea. Something very similar is possible without WASM in the font renderer. I remember a font that displayed its own size, so it changed zooming in and out. I think you could adapt that to play a short animation.
The "shouting fire in a crowded theater" metaphor was coined by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr in the Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States, in which Holmes and the majority of justices sent a man to prison for distributing flyers protesting the draft in World War I. Anyone today who references the metaphor without sarcasm reveals themselves to be ignorant of the history of the First Amendment.

SELinux in Linux 6.6 Removes References to Its Origins at the US NSA
Yeah, but I don't think the people who created that RFC thought about all the bad side effects their advice causes.

BGP is one of the most robust protocols out there: there's no state (as in protocol state), you can treat each message independently, you can extend it super easy and so on.

And because you can treat every message independently, you can have a really secure and stable mechanism to deal with any badness that might happen.
You are making false statements about kiwifarms and denying the existence of illegal conduct that happened on the forum. Linking to it from HN will get my account banned though.
That's according to volume of calls, not content, so I would assume it's covered by different legal theory.
This is not about democracy. This is a private company.

If Whole Foods doesn't have to hold a public tribunal to ban someone from their store, then ISPs don't, either.
I went down this rabbit hole before, and that wiki page is such a mess of self-referencing articles and recycling outrage in various forms and using one to build on the other. Whatever the original thing is that Kiwifarms did is long lost in this sea of recycled articles, as they're now forever "the site that helped bully and 'contributed' to some people's suicides".

It's sloppy at best, and a coordinated and vindictive smear campaign at worst. And like seriously people, I'm not defending bad things, but we have to have an honest discussion. This is like the website/org equivalent of a "rape accusation", that's never been formally "proven" in a court, yet will follow them forever.
Are you sure you're not thinking of flume? I think flume is different from the original map-reduce.
> Why would these be identical? New stories everyday, new games played etc.

If the only data you have about a game is the sport, the team names, and the score, there's only so much an AI (or a human!) can do to write an interesting article about it. Once you've read a few dozen of the generated articles, they'll all start sounding the same -- because, aside from the details, they are all the same.

If you want quality articles, you need some more depth in the source data. And, for little-league sports games, that data may just not exist.
And tormenting mentally vulnerable people. You forgot to mention that.
As per the readme, security is not implemented yet.
It's generally a combination of sed, grep, and vim. I don't think I'd be changing 'user'; more like 'user.email' to 'user.email_address'. My steps there generally are:

- grep to see how bad the problem is

- sed what you can

- vim the rest

Oftentimes the compiler or tests will bail you out; like just change the field name and fix the errors clang finds. If I don't have that kind of thing I consider adding it.

Also while it might take a little longer (though I've used IDE refactoring wizards and it's close), I almost never do it. Could be the kind of thing where like, "changing this would take 10 minutes and be really irritating, so let's take 5 minutes here and nail the name, or establish a convention", which I think leads to better codebases and probably trains you better as an engineer.

> I think Python was popular as a general-purpose language first.

Is that true? My understanding was that it was a scripting language first (still is), but then got taken up by data and science people and various other niches. Then some education books and courses, like the Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach and later MIT and other university adopters. And all of that began to snowball where Python was either the only or main language people knew, so they started using it for everything indiscriminately.
Whilst I generally agree with the consensus in this thread that they're trying to starve competitors of cash, I'm not particularly bullish about Meta's future.

They've sunk an obscene amount of cash into a failed product (the Metaverse), and their core business -- advertising -- is under threat from increased competition and falling engagement with their main platforms. Is Threads winning? I don't think Threads is winning, or that it will.

To me this feels like a big ship's going down, and all the glorious loot is being thrown off to shed weight, and it's floating ashore on our island.
It’s such a bizarre reason. “One person using something rubbed me the wrong way so I decided not to use it”. Did the person extrapolate to an entire community from a sample size of 1?
Demos would probably be nice to add to project's front page. Right now, you're trying to sell on numbers alone, but making a demo that shows the other libs are actually slower would work so much better.

If you leave the door open to your building and some kids get in and spray paint graffiti on the walls and steal the building manager's library book, you pretty clearly have damages in the amount of the cost to clean the graffiti and the cost of the library book.

If you then go spend $50,000 to pay a contractor to sweep the building for bugs on the off chance the kids were actually Russian spies, that's on you for leaving the door open. Even if you have a legitimate fear of Russian spies.

Likewise, if the way you clean the graffiti is not to pay someone $50 to paint over it but to bring in a demolition crew to implode the whole building and then build an identical one in its place at the cost of a million dollars, this was your choosing and not the doing of the miscreants.

> For a man to be surrounded by such possibilities, yet remain true to his own values - he's going to need to be rich enough that people can't afford to bribe him, or some once in a millennium Aurelius like man of true character.

Not really. The easiest way to be rich enough that you don't need to take bribes to betray your core values is to take a bunch of bribes over issues you don't really care about.
Yes, but have that pain inflicted on end customers long enough and they will eventually transfer it to the vendors one way or another.
What's up with CDBCs and conspiracy theories being so closely associated?
> The claim that Kiwi Farms is dedicated to driving transpeople to suicide was started by [specific people]

Nice strawman. There are a huge number of different people who have independently arrived at the conclusion that KF exists to bully queer and autistic people, often to suicide, because it's a consistent pattern; the idea that this concept can be attributed to just one or a handful of people is wilfully misleading. Anyone who's been online long enough in the right circles will eventually know of multiple people who have been targets of the site, and it's obvious what those targets have in common.
So is everything around this mode. It came out from a hacker who found it in the code. For a long time people have been altering and delimiting cars, so I don’t think this deserve much news until someone enables it without hacking the car.

The original article mentions that it could be enabled via “cheat code” but nothing points towards that, so my hardcoded condition is just as good a speculation.

Thanks for the insight dude. I'll pass along your wisdom.
But they want to give you your book, because they want your money.
Not exactly. It's fundamental to specific flavor of western democracy that has become common in the world, at least on paper.

But you can have democracy without it. In fact you can have democracy with lot of other characteristics that seem weird today, like randomly chosen representatives, slavery, exile etc. It's largely orthogonal.
It's simple: 528 = 8 * (2 +64),

where 2 is number of slow threads, like current CPU,

and 64 are more like GPU threads.

This architecture could be next step in GPU integration. Hope they manage to write efficient implementation for standard math libs. It could be faster than separate CPU+GPU in one package.
Any moral judgement that ignores the direct practical implications of that judgement is deeply immoral. You cant have meant well when you could have known better but didnt want to.

>So what is "ok" and what is "not ok" - would you censor the NAZI party in the 1930s or do you think that letting theim air their views fully would convince Germans not to accept them? 10s of millions of lives depend on your choice.

The rise to power of the NSDAP was aided by being able to frame themselves as the lesser evil in comparison to the KPD representing the totalitarian soviet system. Censoring stuff and combating people creates reactions, once you go down the path of opinion control you end up with the choice between totalitarian systems that are dysfunctional by nature and represent the worst and most extreme versions of a tribalistic conflict. Having a common enemy becomes an end in itself and at that point anyone will do.

This is not an abstract risk, its visible across many western democracies right now. The naive assumption that intention alone will be enough and allows you ignore the consequences, might become the death of the current form of democracies. Its arguably how we got to the point where there are far right parties across Europe in and about to become governments. With at the same time a historic high in population and opinion control measures.

In the end, during the most horrific phases of humanity that were intentionally created there is always a desperate demand for two things. The ability to challenge genocidal narratives (See Romeo Dalaires pleas to just be allowed to broadcast) and having as many rifles as you can get once that fails (See the incredible risk people (including children) took when smuggling weapons into Jewish ghettos. I dont see how attempts to make the first harder, let alone impossible, are anything but evil. Especially with a blatant disregard for the risks this entails. Humanity payed the price for this insight already multiple times over.
Sure, but was it the USA sanctioning Russia or the EU? EU voters are far more likely to object to a bellicose dictator invading countries nearby.
66 = 64 slow GPU-like threads + 2 very fast CPU-like threads
>non ironically using wikipedia as source

Wikipedia is essentially useless for anything politically related due to how badly biased it became, one its own founders nowadays says this. Their "authoritative sources" policy pretty much assures whatever CNN and New York Times say is the unquestionable truth.
If their uninformed choices actually result in millions of tons of CO2 emissions and people’s lifespans shortened by worsened air quality, then the title is deserving.

Pretty much sums it up. Also of note is that Germany already had and still has laws against numerous forms of speech, most notably anything that could threaten the public order, which you could mold into a justification to basically stop any speech. The only thing preventing that isn't a law, it is the overall political culture. But with polarization rising, it can quickly become more serious.

Most of these laws stems from a time where monarchy wanted to suppress unsanctioned speech.

The Nazis made a lot of political capital because people wanted them banned and censored. Of course that was just political play and they set new standards for suppression of information and propaganda, but that came after they got into power.
Operator overloading + great interop with C - the ultimate cross platform (and most popular) language

Great standard library (Javascript still doesn't have one). Even better than Java's

Cross-platform

Interpreted language with minimal environment needs where just having python.exe is enough (compare build systems C or Java, or environment setup needed for PHP/perl)

Great DX given how simple core syntax and standard libraries are (again, compare with perl magic, or PHP madness)

Early numpy/scipy packages found amazing uptake in science community which acted as evangelists. This happened to great DX (scientists don't like coding C) and great C support (they still need C speed)
You need to stop Undifferentiated Heavy Lifting
Given your framing of this in terms of class warfare, I'd remind you that Marx described capitalism as a major positive force because it "by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation". He went on to describe specifically xenophobia ("The cheap prices of commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate") but he went on to argue its transformation is deeper ("It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilisation into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world after its own image.")

This is part of him exalting capitalism for laying the groundwork that he believed would make socialism possible. E.g. later:

> The bourgeoisie, during its rule of scarce one hundred years, has created more massive and more colossal productive forces than have all preceding generations together. Subjection of Nature’s forces to man, machinery, application of chemistry to industry and agriculture, steam-navigation, railways, electric telegraphs, clearing of whole continents for cultivation, canalisation of rivers, whole populations conjured out of the ground — what earlier century had even a presentiment that such productive forces slumbered in the lap of social labour?

So this notion of making an argument that it is about class couched in left wing terms does not change that by that same left wing thinking, this process is progressive. Not by intent, but firstly because bigotry and hate is bad for business, as your yourself point out when you talk of Budweiser boycott (ironically mostly benefiting a more progressive company), and so while some short term losses will be had by people pushing to hard too fast, the regressive parts of the working classes will not just be left to its own, but will be battered over and over by both the bourgeoisie and the progressive parts of the working classes, because bigotry and hate is bad not just for business but also for people.

> The trouble is context. Eg: "malformed email address" is indeed an error that prevents the email process from sending a message

I’m sure you didn’t quite mean it as literal as I’m going to take it and I’m sorry for that. Any process that gets as far as attempting to send an email to something that isn’t a valid e-mail address is, however, an issue that should not be ignored in my opinion.

If your e-mail sending process can’t expect valid input then it should validate its input and not cause an error. Of course this is caused by saving invalid e-mail addresses as e-mail addresses in the first place which in it self shows that you’re in trouble, because that means you have to validate everything everywhere because you can’t trust anything. And so on. I’m obviously not disagreeing with your premise. It’s easy to imagine why it would happen and also why it would in fact end up in the “error.log”, but it’s really not an ignorable issue. Or it can be, and it likely is in a lot of places but that’s exactly GPS point isn’t it? That a culture which allows that will eventually cause the spaceship to crash.

I think we as a society are far too cool with IT errors in general. I recently went to an appointment where they had some digital parking system where you’d enter your license plate. Only the system was down and the receptionist was like “don’t worry, when the system is down they can’t hand out tickets”. Which is all well and good unless you’re damaged by working in digitalisation and can’t help but do the mental math on just how much money that is costing the parking service. It’s not just the system that’s down, it’s also the entire fleet of parking patrol people who have to sit around and wait for it to get to work. It’s the support phones being hammered and so on. And we just collectively shrug it off because that’s just how IT works “teehee”. I realise this example is probably not the best, considering it’s parking services, but it’s like that everywhere isn’t it?

Looks like a great start. Congrats on launching. I think this is a potential killer use case for LLM. The privacy aspect it great. One challenge I’ve personally experienced trying to scale my own on prem AI product is that deployments that need prod data access almost always require some handholding/bespoke work as well as insanely arduous legal contracting, especially as you get in to enterprise who most value to privacy element. Making scaling hard. One GTM channel you might want to consider is something like the AWS Server Offer or other similar cloud/data vendor partnerships that might help solve some of these challenges. These vendors are also falling head over heels to support Gen AI startups get on to their platforms atm.
