What was a first for Google was having its own silicon at all. The article was about how Google designed models specifically for it with neural architecture search, something Apple still doesn't do.

What's clear to me is you're salty over Apple continuously being behind to the point that you misread articles in order to support your fanaticism and refuse to acknowledge it even after you've been shown the evidence.
Wouldn't this technique work better on the PS1 which has a lot more storage capacity? Or is the slow CD drive an issue?

I deal with it by living in an old quiet neighborhood in the suburbs in a small house with a big yard. The only noise here is people mowing their lawns. I lived in the city for over a decade and it made me miserable.
Highways didn’t exist when cars became common. They came because of cars. We never took them away from horse riders. We gave car drivers a new option.

This would be taking something away from drivers. And that’s what people hate. Look at the responses to congestion taxes or toll roads. Or even traffic jams!

People behave as if they have a right to use any (seemingly) public road just because they have a car. Even private toll roads.

It’s not feasible.

Not a big fan of Python but for simple stuff SAGE Math beats Mathematica ten times over, with the better actual programming language too.
Hi, a Petals dev here. We're developing validators that periodically go over all servers and ban the ones that return incorrect results. Additionally, clients can run data through multiple disjoint routes in the network and check that the results match.

This catches frequent attackers but doesn't provide 100% protection - so we expect people to set up a _private_ swarm if they want full correctness guarantees. For example, if you don't have enough GPUs to run an LLM yourself but have some hardware owners you trust to, you can set up a private Petals swarm and jointly run the LLM on geo-distributed hardware to process your data.
This, plus mynoise.net ambient sounds. Wowza I can really zone out anywhere, even after hours in the living room with my SO watching loud witches/vampires on TV.
My actual but useless advice: you get used to it.

Open office was a torture at first, but after years of ear abuse some of us build the super power of just ignoring everything happening around and concentrate. A problematic (?) side effect is you also start ignoring people in front of you once you subconsciously categorized them as "noise".

It's kinda like ad banner blindness, but for sound. But it's still exhausting to be honest.

A more decent advice: if you can afford it noise insulate your home (or at least one room) or move to somewhere else. That's the same level of quality of life improvement as choosing a place with cleaner air or good water. The side health benefits are tremendous, cannot be overstated.
I hate to say it, but without permission to modify your structure, there may not be any great solutions other than moving.

If you're dealing with foot-fall / impact noise from the apartments above, you might benefit from moving to a higher floor.

If it's a really spacious apartment and/or you're not claustrophobic, you could maybe build a room-within-a-room structure. But it's hard to imagine that being a better option than moving.

TL;DW on the video: It's a texture atlas + mipmapping + streaming only parts of the texture atlas into RAM depending on where the view frustum intersects + discarding the z-buffer for a little more memory. Does not require the expansion pak. Impressive because a lot of N64 devs at the time didn't do these now-common things, and yet the N64 remains capable of them at a playable framerate.
Do LLMs diminish diversity of thought?

We already know there are infinite primes. there isn’t anything special about humans. Life will continue as carbon or silicon.
If the N64 could be stretched this far with some ingenuity, I wonder how far one could get on hardware that's old, but somewhat modern like the PS3 or the PC hardware contemporary to it.
It's bizarre how you keep refusing to acknowledge you were wrong. You made specific claims that were specifically refuted and now you're "yeah, butting" wildly to try to somehow win an argument you started by trying to find something else that Apple might be better at.

As far as I'm concerned, the war has always (since the mid-80s) been Apple versus everybody else. Nobody else makes clearly wrong claims like the comment at the start of this thread. What yanks my chain is that Apple is against user control, and we as developers should be above falling for their marketing that they're first or best when they very clearly aren't.
There is a reason open source is defined by the license. If all of the code is available with a permissive license it is impossible to do this without allowing people to fork your old version and maintain it in perpetuity.
I went to Caltech, and I despise when people mention the show to me as if it reflects anything about the school.
It has to do with bail being viewed as "letting criminals go free". If there is a high conviction rate, then most of the people being arrested are eventually found guilty, and I would expect bail being viewed less favorably there. On the other hand, if conviction rates were low, it would mean the police were arresting a lot of people that did not break the law, and I would expect bail to be viewed more positively.
My distractions at home were not noise related like yours but more from household chores. I'm convert to the philosophy of working near home - in a space dedicated for work. I use either a coffee shop or a co-working space to work in, and that's improved my productivity tremendously.

Cal Newport has written about this very well here https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/remote-wo...
On the noise front the things that work for me are two-fold:

Noise cancelling headphones/earphones AND white noise (eg RainyMood) or non-lyrical repetitive music with get in flow. I actually play both at the same time normally.

For extreme situations I also wear earplugs under the headphones. But that's pretty rare.

The noise cancelling is important because it lowers the volume at which you can listen to the noise-countering stuff (eg music) which hopefully means less risk to your hearing and longer periods doing so. But note I am not a doctor/sound engineer.

The white noise helps to submerge last remnants of choppy background sound, allowing the music to dominate. Experiment to find a good baseline volume for each.

You will need to pay for the ANC, cheap ones don't work. Bose QC/Sony XM class.

Having said that, I have a great set up at home but as often as not work in public spaces with a laptop for social rather than noise reasons.

So ask yourself if you absolutely have to work from home all the time, or if you can schedule blocks where you can work remotely, and if so, do so.
Yes, it was a genuine PC.
Ah, halon. Fortunately never was around when we had an activation, but I knew other people who kept their running shoes on.
> Apple (represented in my mind by Steve Jobs) didn't want his platform to be flooded by crappy software.

This kind of shocks me.

When you go through macintosh garden and look at all the software (there were tons) a hefty enough portion of it looks like the 80s'/90's equivalent of AppStore fart apps. "Porno" apps with interfaces and interactivity that could have been constructed in Powerpoint.

So that (gatekeeping) didn't work. And then they extended the life of all of that garbage with blue box.
Cool service. It's worth noting that, with quantization/QLORA, models as big as llama2-70b can be run on consumer hardware (2xRTX 3090) at acceptable speeds (~20t/s) using frameworks like llama.cpp. Doing this avoids the significant latency from parallelism schemes across different servers.

p.s. from experience instruct-finetuning falcon180b, it's not worth using over llama2-70b as it's significantly undertrained.
+1 to this. I have ADHD, and WFH noise was really a problem for me.

At first I partially addressed this with Adderall, which also works at company offices. But at least for me, the side-effects suck.

Now I address it with a well-soundproofed home office, which makes up for the lack of Adderall.

And yet Stack Overflow has such strong SEO that outright cloning their content on a malware page will get you top 10 results.

I think people seriously overestimate the value of Web Core Vitals. At the end of the day a website is usually trying to deliver some value to a visitor: if you deliver more value by rejecting complexity, but sacrifice some speed to do it: users will still value the end result, and search engines will reward you.
Moving is really the only long-term solution in my experience. My experience also cautions me that "there will always be something..."

WFH means that I burn out much faster on the little annoyances around my home. I can only do 2-3 years in the same physical place before I have to think about moving again.

I am hoping this next one might stick longer (i.e. 30 minutes from nearest grocery store).

> wood, something that very little wildlife can eat

Not all wildlife can be picked up and pet by a human. That doesn’t mean it’s not a living being participating with a vital role in the ecosystem. There was a time before life could eat wood, and that time period is why the energy source is named “fossil fuel” and “dino juice”, that time period was long ago.

Why don't you put in earplugs? The whole problem with offices for me is its rude to do so. At home no problem. I find if I do it even for a while I feel 'relieved' enough from the sound that I can then happily go back to into the clanking of daytime for a stretch

I have heard someone said the runtime wasn't covered by the agreement it was just technically free.

However Unity also said the terms came into effect as part of license renewal. Requiring a new fee structure as part of a renewal is bog standard.

The main thing people were pushing back on was it was promised that old titles could preserve the existing terms.

If anyone cut ties with Unity and Unity went after them anyway would have been what you mention.
Don't try escaping to a suburban neighborhood. I live in the suburbs north of boston and every single day I'm hearing lawn mowers, leaf blowers and "home improvements". I don't know why everybody isn't incensed about the noise. I think your only options are a boat, a penthouse apartment or a cabin in the woods.
My personal experience as a big-city dweller who has also worked for prolonged stints in suburban and very rural places is that the suburban version of this problem can really be the worst of both worlds.

When I'm vising my parents in the suburbs... its generally quiet, but that one leaf blower 4 doors down or the one garbage truck crawling down the block suddenly becomes the only thing I can focus on. The noises are infrequent and jarring when they occur.

When I'm at home in my city apartment, the background noise is truly constant - it forms a canvas, nothing really jumps out and therefore the level of what it takes to make a distraction is a lot higher.

My practical advice is to explore headphones with passive noise isolation instead of active noise cancelling. The passive isolation is pretty foolproof, even with sudden or extreme changes in background noise content that the active noise cancelling sometimes takes a moment to adjust to (or perhaps try something like working in a coffee shop for an hour to get the other extreme and reset: write emails where distraction is more OK, come home to the relative quiet of the home office for focus time. I've also found even a change of scenery can get me into the zone regardless of what is going on environmentally)
VM/CMS still exists in some form in the IBM world, I think, but it would be hard to find a device that still runs RSTS/E.

I’ve found that flow club really helps me working from home. I’m able to meet with other people and work on a todo list with them and enjoy focus oriented music. I think it’s technically a ycombinator company but it’s been amazing for me on getting things done while working from home.
Not all areas are loud like that. Actually I would say most where I have been aren't.

But I often end up wearing earbuds or headphones and listening to music while I work anyway.

White noise from a fan can help with noise. Also good for ventilation.

You can also consider changing your schedule. If you get rotated around to night shift like I am then it's going to be quieter while you are awake.

If it's that bad where you are then you should move. I have moved multiple times. Not because of noise pollution but mainly for things like saving money.

You can also try going to a coffee shop or a library. Or co-working space. Many co-working spaces have actual offices you can rent.

There are also e-ink things like the Remarkable tablet which you can view the screen outside if you really need to escape.

There are also double-pane or windows designed to limit noise pollution.

An area that is more suburban or even rural may be quieter. A lot of places in this part of Texas have apartments that are actual single story and only share one or two walls. They have not been very noisy.

If you are fully remote then you have the option of going to a cabin or RV in the middle of the woods if you want.

If you can afford it, why not take advantage of AirBnb to find a quiet place to work for a few weeks? You could leave tomorrow.

A good pair of noise cancellation headphones (like Bose Quiet Comforts) might help? I WFH and sometimes in the summer I have to deal with gas powered leaf blowers, or someone using a circular saw in their backyard, or a dog being neglected outside and just barking for a few hours. So put the noise cancellation headphones on and it helps.
It's much more likely that the government agency in charge of this had $4.99 to build the site, not even enough for Fivver.

But they have all the latitude in the world to sign "portion of the ticket price" contracts, and so they did.

It's not Booz's fault; it's the situation that lead this to (apparently) be the best option for the agency.

(This same crowd here wouldn't even turn over in their sleep if the same agency had contracted out building the site and ran it themselves on AWS and paid Amazon 3-5x what Booz is getting, mind you.)
Many folks I know used WFH as an opportunity to move away from the city where you can get more space and quiet for less money.

They are not, though it may be implicit in your thoughts that E.G. UTC or TAI or some other standard is associated with a single scalar value which represents some time along that frame of reference.

However not all times are generated within such references. Most frequently (when sampling human facing outputs) times are printed within some other reference frame. As I tried to elaborate that usually relates to political realms, and there even cities may not be a sufficiently precise specification. (Offhand E.G. would timestamps from east and west Berlin while it was divided differ? I've not memorized that trivia, but it is one example of a politically divided city.)

Further, not so many decades ago timezones along the western Americas coast happened to match, but have since diverged at times during the year due to political changes in timezone observations. It is not inconceivable that actions at a state, county, city, or other zoning level (E.G. Provences for Canada) might further change the meaning of a human friendly representation of an event (time in a place).

I used to live next to a really big street right on the corner. 4 lanes in each direction, bus stops, subway stop, restaurants and other stores in direct sight from my living room.

I somehow got used to it. Headphones on all the time either playing music or white noise to block it out.

There is no secret to it, I struggled hard when I first started working from home. But it's really just background noise, not active distractions like in the office. It somehow all disappears into the background when I concentrate on work, I don't even really listen to the music and couldn't tell you what song played a minute ago.
