The one simple thing I do that cuts my NPM package size massively:

Don’t push devDependencies.

I honestly don’t understand why devDependencies come with the package. Most packages don’t distribute their source files, so what use are the dev dependencies?

If you want to do dev, clone the got repo and get everything. To me `npm publish` is for distributing the production library, plus source maps and types—that’s it.
If you listen to Zuckerberg's interview with Alex Heath it's clear what they meant.

They are interested in breaking news, sports etc. They are just trying to avoid the platform turning into the polarising mess that Twitter is right now. And so they've been trying to position the app as more holistic than just politics and news.

Hashtags and trending searches are next on their roadmap. And I suspect that there is some technical work on their part to upgrade the underlying Instagram platform to support more real-time updates to the feed. Once that happens news will inevitably become a bigger part of Threads.
Seems promising. I guess the one catch is that all this extra computation required for self assembly might not be received back in the form of a better system compared to using that computation to better train a human designed neural network.

Sure Japan has some weird anachronisms but everyone pays for buses and trains using contactless transit cards, just like most rich countries. And lots of people just use Apple Wallet on their phone or watch.

Likewise, there are many different competing payment systems in daily use (including Western-style contactless card payments and Chinese-style QR code mobile payment networks). There are so many options that cash registers normally have a little poster next to them informing you which of the payment networks are available (it’s often more than 20).

Cash is still more widely used than in day Sweden, China or Australia. But if I were to guess I’d say it’s because there are too many available alternatives (no single dominant network) rather than too few.
Maybe you have those options but anyone outside of the technically savvy (aka the mom test) is not engaging in a system where they are forced into that situation as a rule of using the platform. I'm not recommending a site to my mom where I have to explain why she needs to sign up for a 2nd or 3rd time with a user/pw to access the content she already invested time/energy in finding/following because it got delisted.

The early popular services on Mastodon 100% eagerly enforce hyper moderation...so yeah, basically the only large active community there is going to be a very in-group subset of technical users, with some niche services offering broader access.

Despite the best possible opportunity coming about with Twitter nothing in the year since then has indicated otherwise.
> “if I were you, I’d hitchhike to Alaska this summer instead.”

I agree 100%, best advice there is.

After a couple of years working as a Software Engineer, I sold all my stuff and drove my little Jeep up to Alaska to a whole summer of camping, hiking and exploring. I hiked into the Magic Bus (of Into the Wild Fame), paddled with icebergs, and saw more bears, moose, bald eagles, salmon and mountains than I can count.

It changed my life, and I'm extremely, extremely happy I walked away from the golden handcuffs and go away from that desk. Getting perspective and learning how I wanted to spend my life BEFORE I got saddled with a car loan or mortgage was paramount.
The main difference is the GPU part. This is a large difference because the same lazy evaluated template type can be run on the CPU or GPU through what we call an executor. On the CPU it's likely very similar to how xtensor is already using expression trees, but on the GPU it's quite a bit different because if the libraries backing it and optimized kernels.

The syntax of MatX also allows us to do more kernel fusion in the future to improve performance without any changes.

Doesn't even matter if those stories the LLM is being trained on are actually useful and valid, if they are just enough to persuade some board member to grant a patent on a molecule that others have discovered long before the patent troll.
Ditto. I wish I found Cal's writings earlier in my life. I followed the line of thinking in OP for 5 years. Since I was following my "passion", I wasn't making that much money and thus was obsessing over my career day in and day out. Then at one point I decided to sell my soul to big tech. After some time, I realized that I actually don't care about my career that much. Ultimately all I want is to increase my hourly rate as much as possible. Making money is a problem to be solved and minimized, not something to be passionate about

Still there's a difference between not doing the maximum possible to prevent theoretical exploits (like caches thing) and adding an externally controlled feature that crosses into SUID territory and begs to be exploited.

I quit my Software engineering job and drove up to Alaska for a whole summer. I continued south after that, all the way to Argentina. It took 2 years, through 17 countries. Paddled with icebergs, poked lava with a stick, climbed a 20,000 foot active volcano, learned Spanish, etc. etc.

Adventure I had never dreamed possible, and adventure lifetime is an understatement.

When I got back I got the first Software Engineering job I applied for, basically at the same level I was before (junior/mid). It was easy to explain the "gap" on my resume as working on myself, learning self-reliance, people skills, Spanish, etc.
You just have to accept you won't climb the ladder as fast as people that stayed, but also you'll have two years of massive adventure instead of sitting at a desk every day.
> If Kyber-512 is actually this risky, then it deserves to be communicated clearly.

The statement djb seems to be making: It is not known if Kyber-512 is as cryptographically strong as AES-128 by the definitions provided by NIST.

This is an issue because these algorithms will be embedded within hardware soon.

> Besides the fact that nobody is deploying standalone PQ for some time

Now that an implementation has been chosen to be standardized, hardware vendors are likely to start designing blocks that can more efficiently compute the FIPS 203 standard (if they haven't already designed a few to begin with).

Given that the standard's expected publication is in 2024, and the 1-2 year review timeline for NIST CMVP review on FIPS modules, I wouldn't be surprised to see a FIPS 140-3 Hardware Module with ML-KEM (Kyber-etc.) by mid 2026.

> a succinct breakdown of why

The issue seems to be his statement from [1]: "However, NIST didn't give any clear end-to-end statements that Kyber-512 has N bits of security margin in scenario X for clearly specified (N,X)."

djb succinctly outlines the "scenario X" he referred to in [2], in which he only needs a yes or no answer. He is literally asking the people who should know and be able to discuss the matter, who would have the technical background to discuss this matter. He had received no response, which is why he had posted [1].

NIST's reply in [3] is a dismissal of [1] without a discussion of the security itself. The frustrating part for me to read was the second paragraph: "The email you cited (https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/pqc-forum/c/4MBu...), speaks for itself. NIST continues to be interested in people's opinions on whether or not our current plan to standardize Kyber512 is a good one. While reviewers are free, as a fun exercise, to attempt to "disprove what NIST _appears_ to be claiming about the security margin," the results of this exercise would not be particularly useful to the standardization process. NIST's prior assertions and their interpretation are not relevant to the question of whether people believe that it is a good idea to standardize Kyber512."

If NIST views the reviewers' claims about security to be "not particularly useful to the standardization process," (and remember: the reviewers are themselves cryptographers) then why should the public trust the standard at all?

> a smoking gun or two would be great

There wouldn't be a smoking gun because the lack of clarification is the issue at hand. If they could explain how they calculated the security strength of Kyber-512, then this would be a different issue.

The current 3rd party estimates of Kyber-512's security strength (which is a nebulous term...) puts it below the original requirements, so clarification or justification seems necessary.

Usually the CUDA versions end up uninstalling other CUDA versions and drivers due to package manager issues.

I wish nvidia would just release a `sudo apt install cuda-all` that just keeps you updated with ALL possible cuda versions simultaneously. I know it would be 20GB but that's fine, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the datasets I play with.

The main difference is Jax is for python primarily, while MatX is c++. This might seem like a poor answer, but in many domains (quasi-real time, signal processing, etc) the language is important to give certainty guarantees on performance.

MatX has been used in several projects with hundreds of microsecond deadlines, which is not usually something you'd choose Python for out of the box.

We are instead targeting users who already have python or high-level code that they need to port to c++ for whatever reason, and want to do it in the easiest way possible. With c++17 we're able to provide a simple syntax without compromising on performance compared to most native code.

I've previously commented on how the [Corporate OKR: understand $tech enough to make a plausible blog post on it] dynamic leads to a lot of dross articles on "the three (whatever) essential OAuth Authentication flows" and drowns out anything more involved -- AI just doubles a 5:1 noise-to-signal ratio.

Not according to Zuckerberg [1]. He was happy with DAU numbers and planned to commit to the app long-term.

Threads is contributing a huge amount of behavioural data to Instagram ad profiles so it may never need to run ads in order to provide significant value to the company. That's going to place X at a disadvantage over the long term.

I discovered Actual while I was working on Dollero although it was not open source at the time. I believe we were both influenced by YNAB classic, hence the similar layout. I imagine hosting Actual was time consuming and expensive for the author because all syncing appears to rely on a centralized server and database. I'm hoping to avoid this with Dollero because the peer-to-peer syncing requires a much simpler server and is cheap and easy to host.
This is sad. I was just thinking days ago, as I revisited Processing, how consistent it has been at being Processing. Sure, development has been rather slow but at least it's not overwhelming to come back to.

I had no idea that they had a 'foundation' let alone this big. The list of people in the about section has me pondering 'why'.

I never knew that a foundation based on donations could stray off the path so far as to make the original founders uncomfortable enough to quit.

I wish them well and I hope that they start a new foundation where money can go instead. Money walks.

Equating watching a scary drama in 1984 with something as severe as PTSD and saying it's a very real thing for an entire generation is over the top. Baby boomers, sure they dealt with the cold war pretty realistically.
That's not the claim. The claim is "because we know smart people have gone crazy, we know being smart and being crazy are not mutually exclusive, so someone being smart isn't disqualified from also being crazy." Which seems obviously true.

Legislative intent matters in the US, but we have some schools of legal thought that are pretty skeptical of it, so it's not always the end-all.

Not sure where you're getting the 100k lbs figure from. The Siemens S200 LRVs are supposedly 76k lbs as deployed in SF. Traditional "heavy" rail EMUs often exceed 100k pounds per car (Kawasaki M8s used by Metro North range from 97k to 144k lbs). The unarticulated New Flyer XT40 trolley buses that Muni also uses are only about 32k lbs by comparison, but they're only 40 feet long whereas the S200 LRV is 75 feet long. The articulated XT60s (60 feet long) would be a better point of comparison, but I can't find a weight for those.
Then you're in the wrong school district. This is certainly true in some parts of the US. We went to a lot of trouble to make sure we lived somewhere (a fairly safe and affordable part of a very walkable, diverse large east coast US city) where this would not be a problem, and it has paid off. Having a flip phone is not an issue here (in middle school).

Some random suburb, especially where the parents aren't super educated, is usually going to be hell for this though. A lot of parents who don't know/care/are too impoverished in terms of time or knowhow, end up just using the smartphone as an all purpose babysitter (much as TV in the 80s and 90s) from toddler or even baby age on.

It's always been the case that when you choose where you live you choose what kind of peers your kid will have, and therefore, to a degree, what kind of person they'll become, but smartphones have dialed this effect up.
It has those posts, yes, those salaries are also going down but I was talking senior to senior development salaries. Those are all under $100k that I can see. I don't have the requisite experience for staff++ or team leads, nor do I really care to have those jobs.

Unfortunately laws and rules and even road signs are often written in ambiguous ways. My pet peeve is "a, except b, and c". Does the "and" goes with a or with b?

Unambiguous language should use parentheses like maths do. Or avoid negatives ("not", "except", etc.).

NumPy doesn't use GPU by default unless you use something like Jax [1] to compile NumPy code to run on GPUs. I think more honest comparison will mainly compare MatX running on same CPU like NumPy and for GPU comparison focus to compare vs CuPy.
