I had a TI-81 in 1993, and upgraded to a TI-85 in 1996 I think. I didn't mean my comment to be an indictment of TI calculator battery life. My experience with them matches yours. They were great!

Ask HN: GPU Inference Optimisation
Hey! I am an AI engineer and I currently try to setup an endpoint on GPU to make inference on GTE embeddings model.
Currently our price per 1k tokens is exactly like openai ada 2

I did ONNX runtime inference on runpod.io so we pay per seconds.
I know it is theoretically possible to cut the cost much more, but I am struggling with the amount of experiments I can do.

I wonder if there is anyone who could help me figure out low level GPU nvdidia optimisation stuff?

Please leave a DM here if you feel like you have expertise and can help!

There’s also an 8000 character limit which is why we went to the WAL approach.
Not really. I’m goal oriented and it doesn’t help me achieve my goals. I have a basic understanding of traditional CS through a course in High School and watching some YouTube videos, but I’d much rather explore and practice new web & AI tech with my time.
Sure. Sadly, my google search history is turned off, so I don't have a list of my recent searches there.

One that I remember from a couple months ago was that I was trying to recall the name of an exercise they used to do (and may still) in design schools. In the exercise, students are given a problem and a short period of time to work on it, everybody working at the same time. At the end, they get together and critique each other's solutions.

My search terms in both Google and Kagi would have been something like "design exercise with simultaneous work and followup review".

If I run that search now, Kagi gives me articles about psychological studies that combine exercise with learning to test whether you retain more information. It interprets "exercise" as being physical exercise, which is the wrong sense of the word in this case. I think it interprets "design" as being the design of the study, which is also the wrong domain. It does give some articles about graphic design a little way down the page.

With the same terms, Google at least gives me articles about design related activities involving teams. At a glance (and in my memory of the original experiment) none of the articles give me the word I was looking for, but at least it knows the domain I'm searching in.

I remember this example because this was the first time I successfully used ChatGPT to ask about something, and it actually gave me the perfect response, with no fuss, and completely blew all the other systems out of the water. I gave it a natural language version of the same search as above, and it instantly told me the answer ("charrette") along with an accurate description.

So, maybe a bad example, because neither search engine was correct. But, Google definitely got me closer, and I suppose that if I did not have a very specific word in mind, it might have helped me by giving me examples of similar things. Kagi, frustratingly, seemed to have zero idea what I was asking about, and I could not even get it in the ballpark. I wish I could remember (or conjure up) a better example, but that's all I've got at the moment!
Valve is a darling. Not simply because of steam (though, that enables them) but because from HL1, they truly cared about making good games, providing gamers a platform for good, working on problems outside their wheelhouse (Linux, VR, etc) for the betterment of gamers.

Seriously. Yeah give them flak for steam’s store policies and such but Valve has always cared about gamers. They just don’t have the means to do it all (maybe they do?). I’m a fan. Not for HL1 or 2, not for Portal or TF2, not for CS, but for their never ending support on making sure “gaming” can be enjoyed by all.
At least one SV luminary founded his empire on the idea you could "become an expert" on any topic in four weeks and shift between them constantly. Even after explaining the grift his star is still fairly bright.
the issue is not that it is more, but that it is not significantly less.

and that there are a lot of benefits to not commuting, such as more time, better work life balance, less traffic, less emissions, and the ability to lower housing costs -- work in rural Kentucky in a 110k house instead of paying 7x that to be in a Nashville or DC suburb.
RV parks are great - we spend a couple weeks and 5-8 weekends a year at our state parks - but they're never located in downtown NYC or Seattle.

They're located in rural areas, where owning 450 square feet of land costs on the order of $50 ($5000 per 43560 sqft acre).
Ads aren't going away, the war is lost, no service will leave that money on the table anymore past its temporary startup customer-friendly phase. It's not worth complaining about.

What does still matter is whether the video stream tech gives you the freedom to seek/skip or not. Then the ads become more or less moot. Plex for local media gives you freedom, sure. My cable box does. Streaming will not.

I saw a cool looking indie game the other day on steam and excitedly bought it.

Then realized it doesn't support Linux. I can't install it. I was shocked.

And then I realized how crazy it is that I had presumed a game would run on Linux. How far we've come.
I use DigitalOcean... almost all their products support IPv6. Only floating IPs are IPv4, but can work around that by not destroying droplets so the IPv6 address doesn't change.

Even if this were the case (it's not), there's still a time cost - I have to find the brand without the logo that's the same quality. I buy athletic shorts maybe once every 2-3 years almost always on Black Friday. I know Nike shorts will be high quality, and I know they'll fit. Wading through the many non-logo brands, trying them on, returning the ones that are bad, etc. might take me several hours to save tens of dollars.

The point here is that you're misunderstanding why the logo matters. I don't care if there's a logo on my shorts or not - I care what the logo represents, which is a brand that consistently produces high-quality goods. I'm willing to pay more for that, especially when it saves me time shopping.

GPT4 uses that MoE approach so its effectively a fine-tuned model for about a dozen different domain spaces.
You're right. Now that I'm thinking about it, making a query that works is less difficult than also proving it is safe.

0. Realistically, any mature MFA app needs to have a cloud backup option enabled by default.

1. Google did not message their induction of Authenticator cloud backups as having a massive impact on their clients' vulnerability surface.

2. It appears a bit from the post-mortem that Retool was considering itself as a SW company, rather than a security-critical infrastructure provider.

3. All of that adds up to - organizations that have much to lose from a compromise need to do their own security thinking and assessment. Corporate-style thinking along the lines of "if it has an enterprise offering, it must be up to scratch" was never enough, and it will never be.

I'd say nation states, which means the US and possibly other nation states effectively have root on virtually all SaaS systems.

It's exactly the architecture I'd promote if I wanted a total panopticon, but I'm not suggesting a conspiracy. Ease of use is the most powerful force in computing and history has shown that people will trade privacy, security, freedom, cost, and virtually anything else for it.

It does make a certain amount of sense. Time is non-fungible; no amount of money can buy more of it. So ease of use by saving time is extremely valuable and commands a high price.

The problem is that IMO the cost of all this SaaS automation is higher than most people understand. There's some rather huge hidden costs here.

That's a trademark (or perhaps trade dress) issue because it had "Signal" in the name.

They (the forkers) were stupid to induce brand confusion like that.

Signal is GPL free software; you can fork it and release it with any API URLs you like in the source or binary. It is perfectly legal to fork Signal and remove the user-hostile expiration timer, the image scaling enshittifier that happens on upload, and leave the signal.org API URLs completely unchanged. You just can't call it Signal (or LibreSignal, or BetterSignal, or ExtraSignal, or whatever) when distributing it.

The API ToS is what applies to end users who connect to the API. It says nothing about what software you are allowed to use to do so.

Signal would prefer to pretend that they get to choose what tools their users get to use to consume their service. Unfortunately for them (but good for us), they don't. It's the web and such a restriction would be insane.

Don't confuse software and services. They aren't the same.

Okay let's forbid map apps altogether then. Apple, google, open, whatever.

It's literally impossible to make one that is 100% reliable, and according to a bunch of geniuses on HN the app owner is responsible for morons who don't watch the road while driving, so the only logical conclusion is that we can't have nice things because some people are idiots.

Either you accept that it can't be perfect and people have to practice common sense, or you abandon the concept altogether.

It would be beyond absurd to hold Google responsible for this accident. The driver of the car is responsible for driving safely. He failed to uphold his responsibility and died.

This is why you have to drive more carefully. Nearly everyone is reckless in traffic. Huge amounts of people text while driving, tailgate, speed, etc. People get defensive about this kind of stuff, I think, because they know they could have made the same mistake. So admitting that this guy was an idiot is admitting that they are idiots and they don't like that.

Fact is, if you think this could possibly happen to an actually responsible driver, you don't understand what it means to be a responsible driver and you probably are not one. You're just a danger to yourself and others, like most drivers. A responsible driver would never keep going in a situation where their visibility was so bad thay they couldn't see a collapsed bridge. A responsible driver slows down, or even stops if necessary, when they can't see what's going on - because if you can't see what's ahead of you you can't keep driving. It's that simple, there are absolutely no exceptions. I don't give a shit how dark it was or how much it was raining or whatever else. If you can't see you stop the car. If you can see 5 meters ahead you go slow enough that you can stop in 2 meters. Yes, that's slow. Yes it's necessary. We're currently discussing a great example of why it is absolutely necessary.

Alternatively he could see just fine, he just wasn't looking. Which again, if you have to take your attention off the road you stop the car first. You can't keep driving while writing/reading/checking map etc. That is how you end up dead and famous for trying to drive over a collapsed bridge.
Any memoryless continuous function between two Euclidean spaces, I think you mean. The experts-and-manager model would need to be able to do more than that (as do most neural networks).

And part of the reason why single-hidden-layer networks aren't enough even in continuous memoryless Euclidean cases is, again, because of how loss functions work; you're unlikely to converge on a good approximation with very few hidden layers.
This somehow reminds me of some anti EV (Electric Vehicle) people. They accept ICEVs (Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle) as given and normal (ICEVs just exist, the fuel falls from the sky) but dig really deep into an anti EV mindset. They follow anti EV blogs and podcasts. They will tell you how bad EVs are for the environment, how mutch water and cobalt and what not is used for the production without acknowledging that the same is true for ICEVs.

I use IPv6 since 2006 and I just can't see how it can give you "a massive headache". I read a blog post about how overly complex HTTP/3 is. Better ignore it forever and never implement it then. ;-) Also, which successful RFC protocol doesn't have a see of follow-up RFCs?
The UK has been trying to be closer to India to have something to show for having exited Brexit - closer trade ties would be a victory. This is with elections for the Tories looming, and with an Indian-origin PM, uniquely positioned to strengthen ties.

The US is courting India as part of an anti-China bulwark, along with those in South East Asia (Vietnam w/ the elevation of the US to the highest bilateral status during a Biden visit; the Phillipines with close military co-operation, including Taiwan invasion drills.) Biden also met the C5+1 nations in Central Asia, and that's part of both pushing against Russia and China.

In this environment, these two countries don't want to needlessly antagonize India.
The Game Boy ran at 5V logic and the GBA 3.3V; my understanding is that there were some technical hurdles to supporting both on the GBA which Nintendo was happy to be rid of-- the Game Boy Micro, the last model in the Game Boy line, also only supported GBA games for that reason.
> The elephant in the room meanwhile is the countless improvements Valve engineers have made to the the Mesa OpenGL and Vulkan drivers as well as to the kernel graphics driver components. Not just to the AMD graphics drivers for benefiting the Steam Deck's hardware but also to Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan and then other common infrastructure. But in this area of the Linux graphics driver support, Valve's contributions and those of their partners have been incredibly beneficial to the Linux desktop ecosystem even outside gaming.

Yep. Vulkan (the open version of Mantel) for graphics, Proton for low level Windows emulation, driver support and controller customization and options (the Steam Controller was NOT a failed project, just a precursor), and giving it all away upstream... There's something to be said about the ability of a privately held company to execute a vision long term. Everyone from Canonical, to Nintendo, to Activision/Blizzard should be worried about Valve coming to eat their lunch, and they'll do it by giving customers a better experience and thinking long term.
even with proton?

Yes, I should have added that I'm referring specifically to the scenario OP is suggesting, which would require a host <-> client IPC channel, opening up the VM to similar attack vectors to a sandbox.
It’s the vacuum. That empty space between the promise of a new technology and the ‘killer app’ that applies that tech to society in a productive way.

Innovation will happen in that gap in the absence of progress in the actual tech space.

The innovation that has to happen with AI is in UX. We have to have interfaces that will for example, allow a lay person to declaratively build software in natural language. Think VB6 powered by GPT-4.

Until every new AI product stops linking to Google Collab or a discord bot, the tech won’t break out. It will remain a nerdtoy and the grifters will own the day.
Depressingly for me, I once admired him, so I'm familiar with his output. I went off him a good few years ago as I felt he was becoming incoherent even then. I then watched a few of his recent videos in horror. The shift was quite extreme and I wonder what happened. This article sums it up perfectly. There are many good examples right there and I've (unfortunately) watched a few of the videos alluded to. Graham Hancock, the great reset. Seriously?!

You can disagree with me if you want, but I've assessed his recent output, and to me it's a confusing mess of half truths, baseless conspiracies mixed in with the odd insight. He's not a good thinker. He's all over the place.

I enjoyed this blog. I think it provides a great succinct overview of various approaches native to Postgres.

For the "capture changes in an audit table" section, I've had good experiences at a previous company with the Temporal Tables pattern. Unlike other major RDBMS vendors, it's not built into Postgres itself, but there's a simple pattern [1] you can leverage with a SQL function.

This allows you to see a table's state as of a specific point in time. Some sample use cases:

- "What was this user's configuration on Aug 12?"

- "How many records were unprocessed at 11:55pm last night?"

- "Show me the diff on feature flags between now and a week ago"

Sure it’s a valid concern. I’m building my own app so hiring isn’t a concern for me. So far I’ve found the Flutter library ecosystem to be more than adequate for my needs and I’m finding it a far more pleasant and productive platform than React Native to work in.

I always found RN very easy to get started with but over time as features get added and dependencies evolve RN apps become increasingly difficult to update and maintain.

Also React is one of those easy to learn but difficult to master technologies. I’ve interviewed a lot of people claiming to know React that I wouldn’t trust to build anything complex. There are just so many footguns.

Oh sure. Canada has made good business turning a blind eye from all sorts of ugly organizations from LTTE at the bottom to Barrick at the top. We are distinctly uninterested in peoples histories and activities abroad. The obvious problem with that is people activities tend to follow them home.

As for a thug like Nijjar: I have no idea how he swung it. It could be any of: mere oversight/incompetence amongst the civil service; small corruption in same; infiltration by Khalistanis of the same; or sympathetic elected officials. Remember that Canada processes 1000-2000 immigrants per DAY, and the idea that we are vetting every single one thoroughly is just silly.

TBH - of all of those, intervention by elected officials seems least likely. Our MPs are not especially hands-on. But who knows? Maybe some idiot really did write a letter of support on parliamentary letterhead in support of a gangster. I expect we'll find out. This scandal isn't going away over night.

Yes. As the other commenter mentioned, it's the size of the largest variant (same as a union in C) + a tag (almost the same as an enum in C). In some rare cases, the compiler even manages to optimize out the tag.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm wondering if it's because it hasn't been fine-tuned yet?
You are picking the least important detail of the story. The deal is, Google found a simple way to kill the performance of a rival browser... so they exploited it and immediately started advertising how slow the rival was. By the time the rival fixed the performance issue, the damage was done. If true, that's pretty dirty, and it directly contributed to the growing browser monoculture.
