“My hope is that Apple doesn't try to hurry out, say, a MacBook Air M3”

Seriously? Drop an M3 in there as soon as it’s ready.

Also, Apple still sells 8GB machines with a $200 upgrade to 16GB.

Moore’s Law might be dead but we shouldn’t go down without a fight.
I pay $2500/mo to rent a house that was purchased for $280k in 2015 and is now worth about $550k. That's comparable rent to what I would pay for a decently desirable 2bd apartment.

Property taxes county + city are about $4300 per year. They have increased recently, and so has the rent.

If they owner put down a 10% down payment, I estimate their total monthly payment for mortgage + taxes + insurance is about $2000, and will likely remain in that ballpark.

That means rent is currently paying the entire mortage/tax/ins plus $6k per year. At the end of their mortgage that monthly cost drops to about $700, and they will own an asset likely worth $500k+.

Thank you for this! Really interesting. I'm having a look at it now.

Although my initial thought was that it would be great if there was a way to watch the entire day (for one news station) in one clip, rather than have to click on multiple 30 seconds videos.
The puzzle piece that usually gets missed in these conversations is that a business is a public danger. It has to be, inherently, because as we see "just trying to make a profit" consistently does harm at a certain scale. Making a profit and doing public good are completely separate imperatives, and when push comes to shove prioritizing profit will reduce the ability to do public good.

A business can be too small or too inefficient to do much harm, but we are doomed (literally) if we can't wrap our heads around the fact that all businesses are enemies of the public (literally). So often the conversation simply reaches a full stop at "businesses are just doing what they do" as if we have to accept that - as if making a profit is a good thing.

Similarly, fire is a danger to the public. It consumes and destroys things. That doesn't mean we've sworn off fire - on the contrary, we use it to make new dangers (pollution, primarily). It's just that we have developed measures to contain fire. Without measures to contain profit-seeking behavior, humans can't coexist with businesses safely.
That assumes that you have a stable, reliable, quick process to roll out updates. Sounds like they didn't, so maybe they worked on the "oh better add this feature, it's our only chance this month" pattern.
All laws are coercive. That's how laws work. So I don't even know what your first statement is trying to get at.

$15k/day -- 5M/year -- on companies over $100M in gross revenue (much less the several billion generated by Twitter) is not more coercive than many other laws. The penalties for some laws go up to and including death... so this is definitely within the typical range of penalties.

The law requires disclosing your policy and how you applied it. Musk is out on a limb if he's claiming that giving stats on what actions were taken is the same as the action itself.
I lived in St Louis for almost a decade and never got used to what they call 'pizza'. I argue with my wife about it (she grew up there): I say it's just cracker dough with pizza toppings, but she insists it's legitimate. One day I made one from scratch using my cracker dough recipe. She said it was authentic and good. <shrug> I'll take literally any deep dish over St Louis style.
The only thing we grow at our farm is grass for horses, we have some fields in pasture and other fields that we cut hay on.

In roughly 20 years we’ve seen the quality of the grass get much better because we have amended it with lime, and feed back all our manure to our field (which contains carbon and minerals from our field not to mention that from important grain.). We’ve got to be capturing substantial amounts of carbon in our soil.
My current company was somewhat involved with them as a supplier I think, before my time. They never had robotic pizza trucks, they were just regular pizza trucks with an app. They hired so many engineers they loaned some out to my company because they had no idea what to do with them.
Convoscope: Smart Glasses Intelligence Tools
Sure, they aren't going to be warming the most, but they have already seen an increase in the incidence of heat waves nearing or reaching unlivable temperatures in the past few decades[1] and the incidence can be expected to continue increasing as average temperatures increase.

[1] >Since 2005, wet-bulb temperature values above 95 degrees Fahrenheit have occurred for short periods of time on nine separate occasions in a few subtropical places like Pakistan and the Persian Gulf. They also appear to be becoming more frequent. In addition, incidences of slightly lower wet-bulb temperature values in the 90 to 95-degree Fahrenheit (32 to 35-degree Celsius) range have more than tripled over the 40 years studied by Raymond’s team.

The Government Censored Me and Other Scientists. We Fought Back–and Won
Hate speech and most speech that falls under the category presently described by social media users in 2023 as "harassment" is decidedly not illegal, and is in fact protected expression.

Threats are not protected, but the vaguely defined concept of "hate speech" that is not already-illegal direct threats of violence isn't really a thing.

This seems to be a common misconception. If it were violent threats, which are illegal, people would just call it that. When people say "hate speech" they are attempting to promote censorship of otherwise-legal expression that most of society nevertheless finds repugnant.

Proactive AI is the killer app for Smart Glasses. Could smart glasses make us more intelligent and creative while improving our memory in conversations? Yep, that's exactly what we've built - and it's called Convoscope.

Convoscope listens to your conversations, proactively answering questions before you ask and suggesting relevant info during meetings and conversations. It's like a super-intelligence on your shoulder helping you lead your meetings, ace interviews, learn at super speeds, crush your business pitch, and more.

This is only possible because of recent advancements in light-weight, fashion forward smart glasses that are physically, socially, and visually comfortable enough to be worn all day, every day. Thanks to our partner Vuzix Corporation for providing us with Vuzix Ultralite OEM Reference Platform - the world's best all-day wearable smart glasses.

Convoscope is built by TeamOpenSmartGlasses - we're building open-source smart glasses tech to upgrade human thinking. Our community includes a team of open-source engineers alongside leading smart glasses hardware companies.

Let us know what you think! The code is open source and we'd love help to build out the killer app for smart glasses!

What the OP is missing in its "today" analysis is that that cloud platform are choosing nvidia right now since its the most mature compute platform, and so the software for using GPU on the cloud will be written more and more in cuda / using nvidia libs: it will become a defacto standard, and nvidia will entrench themselves that way.
There was a video I saw once several years ago that claimed to sync up ATC audio and flight radar of commercial and military traffic, but I haven't been able to find it since despite a couple cursory searches here and there.

IIRC, it was a custom animation/overlay like they use in documentaries and newscasts, not a screenshot of FlightAware or anything.

Any chance anyone knows what I'm talking about and has a link?

The article is suggesting the solution is to shift the conversation to data ownership from privacy controls. Are you bucketing data ownership in with privacy controls and dissenting, or just making a tangential comment?
I disagree. "X" does those things as part of a profit generating enterprise; if those things affect the greater population then they absolutely should be disclosed. And before someone says "What about Meta? What about Google? What about Youtube?" Yep, them too. They should all disclose the basis of their moderation decisions. Because they're used to steer public opinion. Because it's been demonstrated that they have been used to manipulate public perception to the detriment of groups of people. Because people have died from misinformation.
It is amazing, for the base concept of the Internet being a decentralized network to survive outages, how much centralization has occurred. I use a separate registrar (porkbun in my case), with that thought in mind.

End-to-End Encryption on the Web: Isolating Plaintext
They're blocking content (or demonetizing) for their own profit. Whether it's to keep advertisers or lower their payouts is a bit irrelevant. Maybe being forced (under penalty of law) to reveal at least the process of that moderation would make it more clear internally and both to users and generators what they're up to allowing "the product" to make decisions in a bit less of a vacuum. Darkness and opacity in moderation doesn't seem like it serves the public interest.
First, I'd draw a sharp distinction between social skills and extroversion. Even if you're not compelled to interact with people and guard the energy you expend on socializing, that doesn't mean you aren't good at it. Some of the most charming people I've met have been serious introverts. I hate grinding through DS&A stuff and will avoid doing so at all costs, but I can still do it.

Just like some developers have to put in more effort than others when encountering complex DS&A and other 'hard' skills, some have to put in extra effort with the 'soft' skills-- but both are important parts of a complete professional skill set, and directly contribute to your overall merit. People understand that useful employees can be quiet and many even tolerate having to work a bit to get information out of them at meetings/code reviews/etc. But interacting with coworkers is part of our jobs, and if we always come across as aloof/arrogant/insecure/impatient/put-upon/avoidant/imperious or any other irritating way when interacting with coworkers, we're bad at that part of our jobs.

Edit: To hammer the point home, a couple I'm friends with are IG/TikTok lifestyle influencers. They're both affable and engaging on-camera and in public social engagements, and incredibly naturally attractive. One has even appeared on national television. They have social skills far beyond what most particularly social people have. In their personal lives, they are still quite lovely, but are two of the most reserved, quiet, withdrawn, introverted, cerebral people I've ever encountered. They've cultivated fantastic social skills that they utilize as a professional tool even though it's anathema to their natural tendencies and how they comfortably live their off-camera lives.

Integration tests are great, but the very real downside is that they tend to be much more complex to write than unit tests, and can in some cases require setup and tear down overhead that makes it impractical to lean on them for the majority of testing logic.

Unit tests for each unit of functionality, and a small number of integration tests to validate all works well together.
Batteries are kind of fascinating because they have so many dimensions for improvement: watts/cost, watts/weight, cycle durability, calendar durability, safety, etc. Small improvements in any of these matter, and different applications have very different needs (e.g. mobile phones vs. grid storage).

India forges compromise among divided world powers at the G20
I was in elementary school on the West Coast at the time so by the time I was getting ready for school, one of the towers had already collapsed and I woke up to apocalyptic scenes on television that I first thought was a massive earthquake. In class, no one said a single thing about what had just happened which made me feel like I was going crazy.

It still makes me feel sick to this day what happened afterwards. I was too young to really understand the implications but even as a child, the march to war felt so very wrong.

Ask HN: Harbor Freight Spam
At least once or twice a day now, I receive spam emails with a subject line like "SurveyRegistrationConfirmation" from "Harbor Freight", "Kohls", etc.

Lots of complaints here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GMail/comments/148mjhm/harbor_freight_spam/

Google filters can't capture these because the "subject" filter can't do a partial word match for "survey", for instance.

And of course the from email and name always changes, and Google filters can't do a partial match on "harbor" or "kohl" in the from field.

Any ideas how to kill this email spam? Why is gMail powerless to capture these patterns?
there is a reason twitter now reports 'user minutes' or whatever and no longer reports DAU. Because their active users are plummeting. If 1000 bots spend all day on twitter thats a lot of 'user minutes' but doesn't do shit for selling ads and the health of the platform. The ship is already sunk, stop trying to bail the water out.
Logging with OpenTelemetry and Loki
By the pigeonhole principle, there is a sentence that writes out its entire SHA256 representation this way. Alternatively, the map from these kinds of sentences with 256 terms to 2^256 given by SHA256 admits a fixed point.
That isn't Twitter/X's argument though.

Their argument is producing the document is forced speech.

That argument is not aligned with any precedent. The government absolutely has the right to compel you to talk about your internal actions.

Your argument is effectively slippery slope falacy given the government is tracking not enforcing action here.
Maybe I'm not reading what you wrote, but what I'm getting from the writeup is not that you're describing a new set of curve constraints, not a new Bezier curve (even if we just go by the list of constraints you're trying to satisfy), so that doesn't feel like a linguistic accusation so much as a pretty important thing to call out?

In the analogy of rocks: we've certainly been discovering rocks thousands of years ago, but if you pick up the same rock that others have already picked up, from the same patch that we've been picking up rocks from for a long time, but using a different set of rules to decide how to pick the rock up, that's not a new rock. That's a new method.

So describing it as a new methodoly for finding appropriate Bezier curves, rather than finding new Bezier curves, would make it much more clear what you're doing. And new methodologies are always exciting.
I agree. Always choose unix domain sockets over local TCP if it is an option. There are some valid reasons though to choose TCP.

In the past, I've chosen local TCP sockets because I can configure the receive buffer size to avoid burdening the sender (ideally both TCP and unix domain sockets should correctly handle EAGAIN, but I haven't always had control over the code that does the write). IIRC the max buffer size for unix domain sockets is lower than for TCP.

Another limitation of unix domain sockets is that the size of the path string must be less than PATH_MAX. I've run into this when the only directory I had write access to was already close to the limit. Local TCP sockets obviously do not have this limitation.

Local TCP sockets can also bypass the kernel if you have a user-space TCP stack. I don't know if you can do this with unix domain sockets (I've never tried).

I can also use local tcp for websockets. I have no idea if that's possible with unix domain sockets.

In general, I choose a shared memory queue for local-only inter-process communication.
If a corporation doesn't have speech, nonprofits like museums and schools and abortion clinics and lobbyists wouldn't be able to say stuff without censorship. (The press and churches are separately protected, but the 1A applies more broadly to organizations other than them via corporate personhood).

That said, I think Citizens United (money is also speech, go ahead and corrupt the political process even more with dirty invisible money) is pretty fucked up, and yes, corporate liabilities should also include executive criminal prosecutions for crimes against society (and humanity!).

> How did author just assumed that CPU are competetive for inference.

CPUs have IGPs. And they are pretty good these days.

LLMs in particular are an odd duck because the compute requirements are relatively modest compared to the massive model size, making them relatively RAM bandwidth bound. Hence DDR5 IGPs/CPUs are actualy a decent fit for local inference.

Its still inefficient, yeah. Dedicated AI blocks are the way to go, and many laptop/phone CPUs already have these, they just aren't widely exploited yet.
My coworkers are not overly appreciative of my soulful acoustic rendition of Mick Gordon's BFG Division.
Don't forget their Russian chauffeur, Pikup Andropov.
The issue is generally looking better isn’t enough. The goal is immersion and even relatively rare artifacts destroy that feeling so DLSS is simply worse than playing at a lower resolution that I’m going to get used to in a few minutes.

This is the same reason 60FPS in modern games isn’t “enough” while it felt buttery smooth on old console fighting games. Consistent FPS is vastly more important than average FPS.
It's short but dense: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Because of all those 'or's it outlines quite a wide swath of protected activities. Because of the 14th amendment, it directly applies to not only the federal government, but also state governments.

I think that(no source but heard from few folks) if they run at full capacity, electricity cost will get larger than the base cost in few years. And energy per flop is an order of magnitude lower in GPU.
I don't see CPUs being competitive for low-latency inference in the web accessible SaaS ('software as a service') space. They certainly can be attractive for specialized backend applications where batch (in the macro-scheduling sense) processing can be utilzed. The author also neglects the attention that other GPU makers are investing in improving their software stacks, particularly AMD, to compete directly with Nvidia.
