Clock speed correlates pretty closely to power consumption within a given family.

It correlates less directly between families, smaller process nodes tend to allow for high frequencies at the same power consumption.

I have this same discussion about people using Vault and having secret unseal keys.

If you're all in on the idea and have a robust process around key custody it's great, but if you just deploy it without thinking especially to an environment that may not be fully rebooted for 1-2 years at a time, it's far more likely someone will lose the keys and then only months or years later when the entire thing is restarted realise they lost all their data. And I'd put this as more likely than encryption at rest ever saving most people from data privacy.

You have to include availability and user experience in your "threat model".

>I grew up in the age of the CD transition, and CDs were how I bought my first music. It was touted as cheaper (but got more expensive) and the quality of the music went down (1-2 good songs on an album).

I more 'came of age' in the CD transition era, but to claim that quality of music went down after one's youth has been proclaimed since before Neanderthals banged rocks together. The whole reason 45's and later single cassettes existed was to get people to at least buy that One Hit off an album rather than the whole thing.

Would it be any better of it there was retroactive revenue share? I agree it is shittily rolled out, but things like the retroactivity are the issue, and the ability to actually count install. Not the install fee itself. I am responding to the "it should have been rev share" mentality, which is totally grass is greener.
I taught an hour-long class at work where I'd prepped an example to warm the group up, which involved converting the sales material for a US car that got 26 mpg to a Canadian market using liters per 100 km. 26 mpg is carefully chosen because between 1/3 and 2/3 (usually on the lower end) would get it right (~9 liters per 100km) and the others would often come up with around 11 (km per liter).

I could then ask "who got a figure around 9?" and "who got a figure around 11?" and both groups would raise their hand feeling pretty confident they'd gotten it right. I'd then introduce and walk them through dimensional analysis and finish with an example that was more complex and error-prone, but was pretty straightforward if you just applied DA.

(The main point of the class was "use correct units" rather than "learn dimensional analysis".)

> And if the implication is that they'll port those iOS games to Mac, then I wouldn't count on it if it takes even a single iota of extra effort on their end

The games will come to all Apple Silicon devices as the architectures are very similar if not the same (M1 iPad vs M1 Mac). Apple also released the Game Porting Toolkit and I can already play games at decent framerates with Whisky [0] which utilizes GPTK. Keep in mind this is basically beta software that's not even for the end user to use but as a developer tool to help port their games over.

And obviously the games when on iOS won't be played with touch controls, it's for playing with a Bluetooth controller.

For sure!

When you send an OpenAI request, after a delay (to ensure the user doesn't keep chatting in the same session), a secondary GPT 3.5 call is made to "autosave" the result. This GPT call gets the information from the current chat session as well as other similar entries in the vector database.

The structured output from this call is used to do either insert a new memory or update an existing memory in the vector database. At query time, we do a search of the vector database and quickly insert relevant context into the system prompt.

I like to consider this approach "dynamic" retrieval augmented generation, as the vector database is constantly changing as conversations occur.
> Musicians only make pennies on new albums—or fractions of a penny—where previously they made dollars.

Is this really true? I mean the per stream payout is insanely low compared to an album sale (I think it’s like $7/thousand songs played vs $1 per album). But album sales were just front loaded vs streams being paid out pennies at a time.

If an album has 10 songs and I buy the cd, the artist gets $1 (if they’re lucky, they probably get much, much less). If I stream those 10 songs they get $0.07 (seven cents).

But for albums I’ve bought I might listen to those songs hundreds or even thousands of times. If I streamed them all the artist ends up making more but it might be over 20+ years.

I think I’ve listened to Joshua Tree 500 times but it came out in 1987. So that’s 35 years. While it’s only a few cents per year, over time it’s much more than what they’d get from an album sale.

I’m also not sure what the alternative is and I haven’t heard of many proposed. Spotify is already $15/month. Even if they doubled their payout and upped the price to $30/month it’s still just pennies per year.

As the name implies Baumgartner is a restorer, not a conservator. Conservators tend to consider his methods rather aggressive, though I imagine part of it is being envious of his popularity. If you just want to spend a moderate sum of money to make your family heirloom look nice, you probably don't care about the .01% of original paint that gets lost.
Good analysis, but like all good analysis this needs a followup for all the questions created by this analysis...

This suggests that the AMD 7900 XTX has better utilization than the NVidia 4090 (which is extremely surprising to me!!). Is there a "smaller NVidia" that could be used to see if utilization scales with size? The 4090 is physically and architecturally larger than the 7900 XTX after all.

There's also a question about smaller AMD cards, as the 7900 XTX has the largest "infinity cache". Do 16MB sized infinity caches keep utilization high? Or is this something that's only going to work on the 7900 XTX?

Just some idle thoughts. I'm personally interested in how the architectures utilization scales going up or down, and why that is. That is, VALU utilization for AMD, specifically (and SM Issue Active for NVidia or maybe SM ALU).

>It looked like they were also working on considering location when determining species, but the model I use doesn't do that.

I do this in fish for very different work and there's a good chance the model for your species does not exist yet. For fish we have 6,000 distribution models based on sightings (aquamaps.org) but there are at least 20,000 species. These models have levels of certainty from 'expert had a look and fixed it slightly manually' to 'automatically made based on just three sightings' to 'no model as we don't have great sightings data'. So it may be that the model uses location, just not for the species you have?

>Think about it, when did you ever see anything critical of Steam on HN or Reddit?

I probably helped in that regard. I hate it but it's a harder battle to face since those rates have been standard for decades. I especially hate that Valve made deals for AAA's to get lower cuts after selling a bazillion copies. Shows where their loyaly lies.

If Unreal Engine is taking 5% after a large revenue floor in order to help make the game, a platform holder really can't ask for more than 2-3x that cost to host it.

I don’t think I’d want Taylor swift owning the record company. That’s not really a solution.

And the last thing I want is the netflixification of music with every artist having their own app so you pay Taylor Swift $5/month for her label’s music. $5 to The Rolling Stones. Etc etc.

> Why is it that I can pull from a remote branch, commit some changes, run ‘git push’ and git has no idea what branch I want to push to

Git has automatically tracked remote branches for years now. "git switch foo" will do exactly what you expect if "origin/foo" exists.

> if main is a protected branch, don’t let me accidentally commit to it locally

"Protected branches" don't exist in Git. They're a GitHub concept. How would you be able to fork a repository if the permissions on a remote copy of the repository prevent you from making changes to your own copy?
Blue-green algae will fill that void, and those living in affected areas will need to use activated carbon water filters.
I used to love buying CDs from artists I liked at concerts in small venues so that the artist would get most of the $20 I was forking over. Sadly, I'm no longer in my 20s living in a large city that has lots of artists going through.

The royalties from streaming are atrociously bad. Just read some of the speeches by the writers on strike to get an idea how the economics are setup nowadays.
you gave me flashbacks of trying to get random software i heard about to compile for redhat and debian linux back in the very late 90s or early 2000s. I reckon, if ordered to, i could probably get a system with source available to run decades-old software. As it stands my oldest working OS is Ubuntu 6.04. If you know of an archive of freshmeat or whatever, it might be possible to get something like this working in about a week of tinkering. oh dependency hell, what a time we had together

edit: my oldest on the metal OS. VMs i didn't count.
Why do people do such silly things? Part of working assignments is to grow an intuition, and no kangaroo jumps hundreds of meters. Such crap just reinforces the notion that what you do in school is completely meaningless and divorced from reality.
>You know what Valve did? They fucking fixed their platform.

not really. The core complaints from 2003 are still there. Valve instead just conditioned users to not care about physical disks, not care about needing a store open to play a game, and undercut the competition. No different than Amazon in that regard.

Only difference is that it they got good PR out of it (unlike most tech companies doing the same), because gamers are young and they praise cheap stuff above all else. Valve was also smart because they can just take a cut out of already premium games, compared to how most other websites had to sell a free website and monetize it in less savory ways.
Their current CEO is one of those generic executive types with a background selling snacks, sporting supplies, and private equity investments. His prior game industry experience was running Electronic Arts so well that the board forced him to resign. This does not sound like the path to anything other than short-term “number go up” management.
kind of agree - its the same "humour" which devolved TV like big bang theory into canned laughter shit-shows - poking fun of "virgin nerds" (which make bank).
Your mileage may vary, but I've certainly been able to bring my own tooling at my employers, broot included.

Regardless, the main point is that numbering directories as a mnemonic is more of an encumbrance than a help. The justification on the website, that it prevents new directories from disrupting the user's mental map, is unconvincing. There are many methods for that that don't require a team to align on a numbering system and fixed directory order - shortcuts, bookmarks, snippet managers, broot, and z, to name a few. Not all methods are available in all contexts, but at least some are.

Prepending numbers, on the other hand, forces users to, at best, waste time learning a system they might not need to use again or, at worst, bikeshed about what number to give a new directory or how to renumber if a change is needed. Users can't even skim directory names because the order is fixed and they've been robbed of the ability to sort alphabetically. The larger the team, the worse all this becomes.
So cool! How do tools like pgvector do it?

They have a WHERE clause built in - no? And then you can additional sort by semantic similarity? Or is this a bit different than that...
"The Constitution is just a piece of paper." - GW Bush

Whether he actually said that, or merely behaved accordingly is really irrelevant.

The Constitution has been shredded for the last quarter of a century. But political parties and most people just don't care about that. The US is in a death-spiral. Look around you. Is this the way things were back in 2000?
He calls himself the Honest Broker, but I have found on many occasions he plays fast and loose with the truth . I am not sure where he gets this figure from. He makes similar wild, unsupported claims like 'AI is dying' or 'Facebook/meta is dying' etc. He wrote an article when Meta stock was at $200 that it was going to die. Now at $310. He claimed that Chat GPT was a loss/failure on Microsoft's part because Bing search market share is flat (Chat GPT is way more than Bing). We need to hold people accountable for their claims.
I think I was hoping for more of a "space sim" from this game. One where I could fly into gas giants and get crushed, fly near the sun and fry to death, use a black hole for a gravity assist, that sort of thing. It didn't turn out that way at all, instead it's just a regular old quest driven Bethesda game with a generic sci-fi veneer.

If anyone has any cooler "space sim" type games to recommend, especially ones where you can play around with the crazy shit in space like magnetars, pulsars, black holes, etc... I would love to hear about it.
I’m not an expert, but if you refresh BLE sensors at ANT+ intervals the battery life is sad. It could be incompetence rather than a protocol definition problem, but the result is the same for the consumer: ant+ is just a way better experience
Those thresholds are just the point when you'll be net negative. There's still a large range above that ARPU where you're making less money than before or with a different engine. Cult of The Lamb has already announced they will delist their game, and the Slay The Spire dev team have announced they're halting development on their new game to port it to a new engine.
I learnt a huge amount about cybersecurity in the first few months of ChatGPT, which when prompted produced clear practical code examples and discussing the implications for defense/attack both both local and networking applications. This information is all available legally, but I learn much much faster being able to ask questions which fill in my knowledge gaps, and check my understanding.

Now it's difficult to get any informative response at all, to the point where I've given up. Guess I'm stuck with security by obscurity.

Censoring LLMs is only good for controlling the average mook by restricting the questions that can be asked. If the barrier between a society falling apart and not is the free flow of information, then that society needs to be rethought.

This could be the greatest tool of emancipation ever, or the greatest tool of censorship ever. We decide by what we accept.
Nope. It's not specific to their height and obviously not specific to their race.

The same way men on average prefer big boobs, women on average will prefer taller men. Both can't really be changed by the person but exist as attractiveness scores against a person.

It matters to people who it matters to. Not many in the grand scheme and definitely not related to race.

The major thing that Ditto is that it can sync without internet using Bluetooth low energy, peer to peer WiFi and Local Area network. It can even do multi-hop.
If I make a contract that entitles me to income, and you set about trying to undermine it and my income, and I attempt to enforce the contract, and you really don't like that, I hope you don't blame me for your suicide, because it's not on me.

here come the downvotes cuz some people can't handle the truth. I'm entirely sympathetic to Aaron's mental illness because I was raised in a way that gave something similar to me too. Luckily my crash worked out better. Aaron's parents hold him up as a martyr, and I (with no direct knowledge) suspect they might have had a hand in making him behave like a martyr, because I know just what it's like.

By the way, framing this as "good vs evil" and Aaron was good, and he did a good thing, while you don't yourself engage the world the way you are encouraging him to, is the root of the actual evil. The world isn't black and white, it's many shades (and colors) and lighting yourself on fire or encouraging somebody else to is rarely the right way to address problems you see.
I’ve been bothered by a low frequency noise the last few days and I’ve yet to find the source.

It’s not quite constant, can hear through my earplugs. It’s almost like a busy set of hard spinning drives in a noisy old PC as heard from a floor below.

I need to talk to my neighbour today to see if he’s got any new appliances/devices etc. And invite a friend over to see if they hear it too…

Pretty sure I don’t hear it elsewhere so luckily not tinnitus but it’s been driving me a bit crazy!
Headline bait... this isn't what even the 1st paragraph says, what it says that it cannot be unoccupied by a HUman, something that anyone in AI in automous vehicles knew was going to happen:

California’s State Senate this week passed a bill which, if signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, would require autonomous semi-trailer trucks to have a trained human safety operator whenever they operate on public roads within the state. The bill, known as AB (Assembly Bill) 316 passed with a vote of 36-2.

All it does, if passed (and that remains to be seen since Newsom wants to run for president and needs that SV money to do it), is make the concession known that for FSD to be deployed on a truck a person(s) needs to be present to take over. And given how we have deadspots in even mobile phone connectivity this makes perfect sense.

I think the hype from AI and ML has waned significantly, and truckers are still a critical component of supply chains and still facing a large decrease in drivers pre and post COVID (cost of Class A and owning a truck being higher barriers of entry than before). If anyone really thought they would let massive freight trucks full of cargo left entirely on auto=pilot with no Human than I need to remidn you what happens on a regular basis; brake fade/loss happens so often that they design roads with run-off for this specific reason, and even then with an experienced Human it happens and causalities do occur [0]. He was given clemency but its still an incredibly risky profession with known regular incidents of death.

I was sharing a mountain with this guy in 2018 when this occured, I got stuck in the avalanches coming over from CA to CO and it was a sad saga that while tragic underscores why this position will never really go away for Humans.

Playing on a i7700k with 6700xt, 32gb ram, NVME SSD and it plays fine on high at 4k (62% resolution scale). 30 fps in heavy cities up to 65 fps in enclosed builds and caves etc.

I think the issue here is a corporate kind of mens rea. It’s seemingly fine under capitalism to incidentally kill your competitors in the process of making your customers happy. It’s not fine to set out with the explicit goal of killing your competitors. And so, any mention of your being aware that you’re killing your competitors, hints that you might be intentionally killing them while just feigning ignorance.
