Consider how GPUs & CPUs actually use memory:

On a GPU, the memory access patterns are often very wide & easily controlled, such as fetching a block of texture memory. This is like streaming reads for a disk, where you can actually just throw essentially RAID 0 at the problem to scale up really easily. So scaling all the way up to ridiculously wide 2048-bit bus widths (ex. AMD Vega 64) is completely viable since you're working with relatively bulk array data almost constantly. Now most GPUs aren't going quite that wide to hit the speeds they want, but consider that 192-bit is still considered "low-end" here and that's already a lot wider than you'll find on most CPUs.

On a CPU, especially in languages like Java, JavaScript, etc..., memory access patterns are often very random and very small. Consider just something like a simple boolean accessor call `if (foo->isEnabled()) doThing();` - you're reading let's say 8 bytes (foo pointer) to in turn access 1 byte (a boolean). Now the CPU is already reading in chunks of 64-bytes typically (cache line width), so you're already blowing 2 memory fetches to get 128-bytes of data just to read 9 bytes total. Going wider, which is how GPUs scale bandwidth, is utterly pointless here. You'd just be fetching even more data you didn't want in the first place just to occupy precious cache space on something you're probably not going to use anyway. In fact this is why DDR5 actually essentially shrinks the bus-width, from 64-bit in prior DDR generations to 2x32-bit in DDR5
Because feet are a standard size of course. No variance from person to person.
It's generally taken as good advice for parents to not rely on their children for emotional support ie: preferring unidirectional emotional regulation as opposed to co-regulation. Emotional co-regulation is seen as being as placing undue burdens on children. Is that what you were referring to or is it something else?

>I am prone to believe that OpenAI, and organization who’s lead is centered on RL more than anything else, is quite good at getting it’s models not to spit out competitively sensitive information

I specifically replied it is not possible to prevent a model from spitting this information out. I didn't pivot to anything.

>I am saying it’s very easy to use RL to get a model to return a convincing but wrong answer about a system prompt.

No it's not.

The human body is not some miracle or well oiled machine. It is a poorly and erratically manufactured product done in inconsistent environments. As we learn more about our bodies, we will regularly discover things that should be fixed or optimized.

I have asthma. Only in childhood did it threaten my life, but why wouldn't I want to breathe well all the time? A friend has ADHD.

Pretend they didn't make up their own title. Pretend it was a direct quote. Does that help at all?

And this link was not going to be submitted otherwise, so focusing on that part didn't steal the spotlight from anyone else.

I really don't agree that the guideline was written to make certain kinds of post impossible. I think it was written to avoid people stealing the spotlight, and it's a little bit too broad for that goal.

> We could have had an informative post that provided the relevant news, the supporting context, and even the 2022 presentation about why the standard exists at all.

Cool. But you shouldn't have to do that. It would be interesting if every post had to be an informative user-written blog post, but as argued earlier HN is not that site.

In this context, deciding for oneself instead of blindly accepting what one is told they should do.
Upgradable memory also makes things more flexible for OEMs.

Most OEMs continue to sell systems built around last years processor (or even a couple year old processors), and they can increase the memory in those systems as needed. Maybe 4GB was enough when they came out, but now you need 8GB or 16GB to sell a system with an older processor. Not a big deal with socketed RAM, not even a huge deal with soldered RAM, but the processors with 4GB on package become very hard to sell.

Yeah, I think this article is about a heuristic for not wasting time and energy. Some people are going to want to hear from you the reasons why things have gone wrong, and then your answer better not be shrug. But if you spend time thinking and talking about it instead of on working with what you have, then that's a problem.
Kinda feels like the author is just talking about productivity as assessed via correlation.

I'm curious if anytime soon we'll start seeing optical interconnections between CPUs and on-device / same-chasis memory.

I'm not sure what that would add for latency and cost, but I'm guessing that with optical wave guides, crosstalk isn't a concern. At least for the optical part of the data path.

The medicine may work, unlike those stomachs which experience gastroparesis upon taking it as a side effect. I'm not so sure I'd describe some of that as painless, though.
I regret very few things in life, but here is one that nags me with particular poignancy. Back in the day, I was a poor college student in a third-world country, and I was traveling from college to visit my parents. Public transport didn't and doesn't work in said third-world country, so I went to the highway to try to catch a ride. There were many college students standing by the highway, and at 2:00 AM in the night, I was still there. I left that place at 9:00 AM the next day, when a guy in a wore-down moskvich picked me up. Long story short, a few hundred kilometers later, he made a stop to take a piss, and then he wanted me to ...well, you guessed it. I ran away. It was okay for me to run away, I know. But the thing that bothers me so badly to this day is that I ran away because I was a cynic, and assumed that the guy wanted something ill from me. Truth is, I would have enjoyed giving that guy what he wanted, it's in my nature, and he well deserved it. Now, instead of a spicy memory, I have a cautionary tale about a cynic college student.

While I would not "deify" Jobs in anyway, I try to live by the following:

- Humans have achieved a lot of things. Despite our faults, we are a wonderful species.

- By the above, I shall not be a cynic, and I will believe more easily that a person is good or does something good than the opposite, i.e. that a person is acting in self-interest and in my detriment.

- I will try to do things in life that benefit others, by whichever stick I decide to measure that benefit.
You're referring to the novice-expert problem in epistemology. How do you get around requiring everyone to be an expert in all things?
For the one design, a supercavitating foil is mentioned. There have been torpedoes that use supercavitation sustained by onboard gas-generators feeding strategically located ports on the skin.

But that begs the question- would that type of cavitation induction be considered 'cheating' in the sense of being used on a sailboat that is supposed to be solely powered by the wind? The gas bubbles wouldn't be providing thrust, but a stored bottle of gas or electric pumps or any other stored energy device is just that....

The line between what tech gets used and what isn't allowed in these completely unsanctioned 'record attempts' is interesting to ponder.

In this case, it seems they are using a passive system (it is possible to get a foil to supercavitate without extra powered manipulation).
I agree, the tendency to deify Jobs (or any other human) is unhealthy and one of my least favorite traits of humanity. As much as we humans don't like to consider our close relation to other primates, we definitely do still have the heavy instincts of identifying and following dominant personalities, and thinking of them as god-like in some ways. It might be futile to try to fight againt instinct/nature but I have to hope that we can use our advanced reasoning ability to progress as a species beyond this silliness.
That's in the gut, but I wonder how that works when it's pumped out into the subcutaneous fat layer.
I like the article but there are multiple errors in the first paragraph: "[James Lick] is buried under the telescope, which began operations in 1988, a year after his death."
> Apple doesn't have on-die memory. AMD is the only company to have shipped on-die memory to consumers

What distinction are you drawing such that Fury X interposers count as “on-die memory” but apple’s literal stacking of the LPDDR on the actual die doesn’t?

Apples technique is more advanced than fury actually: fury is just on-package, not on-die, but apple is literally doing v-cache style stacking of the whole memory subsystem right on top of the die.

Of course fury x was earlier, but die stacking is a more advanced technology, there is a reason AMD didn’t do that for 5+ years after fury x. And apple actually beat AMD to market with on-die stacking, by several years (epyc v-cache was 2022 or 2021) with a more advanced implementation (the whole memory subsystem rather than just v-cache).
Sturgeon’s law really does apply. It applies to doctors, plumbers, therapists, programmers, managers, x.

There really is too much stupidity in the world. “Obviously”.

Learning to ignore it is an easy but reasonable response. Accepting it however, and learning that most stupidity can be dispelled with a bit of guidance is much harder.

You can get there if you aren’t stupid. :)

The freedom from medication happens after the course of shots is over, and lasts for many years, in many cases for life.

The shots are simply extracts of the things you are allergic to in extremely small amounts, which, sure, you can classify as medication although I think most people would draw a distinction between that and something like diphenhydramine or fluticasone.

After the first few months the shots are taken only once per month and typically do not have any side effects, very unlike antihistamines or other daily allergy medications. (In the first few months only while updosing the side effects are typically local itchiness akin to an insect bite).
It depends on what you want to accomplish. For a business trip it’s not amazing, but when you go with kids on vacation the night train is quite appealing in comparison with a flight.
From the article you linked:

> João Goulão — head of Portugal’s national institute on drug use and the architect of decriminalization — admitted to the local press in December that “what we have today no longer serves as an example to anyone.” Rather than fault the policy, however, he blames a lack of funding.

> Twenty years ago, “we were quite successful in dealing with the big problem, the epidemic of heroin use and all the related effects,” Goulão said in an interview with The Washington Post. “But we have had a kind of disinvestment, a freezing in our response … and we lost some efficacy.”

The story turns out to be much the same as a common trope for those who wish to undo successful policies here in the US: under-fund them as sabotage, and then call them failed when the lack of funding causes lower efficacy. Additionally, prohibitionist policies and the policing drug use has been rising (see 24,25,26 at https://substanceabusepolicy.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1...) over the second half of the time drugs have been decriminalized, so the rollbacks in societal gains need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Git made the only choice a popular VCS can make. History rewrites will exist, period. If you're opposed to history rewrites, then git gives you the tools to ensure the repos you control are not rewritten, and that's all it can do in a world where people have control of their own computers.

If Fossil ever becomes as popular as git, people will create software that allows history rewriting in Fossil.

Another user in this thread linked to jj [0], an alternative git client that does some pretty weird things. For example, it replaces the working tree with a working commit and commits quite often. I like git and that seems weird to me, but I'm not offended, people can do what they want on their own computer and I have the tools to ensure repos under my control are not affected. That's all I can hope for, and I'm happy that jj makes git more usable for some people.

> I don’t care about power consumption

That doesn’t change the fact that it isn’t on par.
There are plenty of public places with as much people (if not more) than a typical airplane with free access without liquid/luggage/identity checks, yet they don't seem to be blowing up every other day.

If those checks were actually deterring terrorism I'd expect those other public places with less checks but just as much potential victims be attacked instead.

Thankfully it doesn't run it, it just inserts the commands into your prompt. It's kinda nice but I've also been using the terminal for like 12 years, so I don't find myself relying on it very often.
I don't think it's very charitable of you to assume that the massive amount of people who have left the Elm community are all, and I quote: "a legion of idiots who have been conditioned on the open source models made possible by huge corporations".

I get the point you're trying to make here, and I agree that funding from big corporations has fundamentally distorted the open-source landscape in ways that might not be the most desirable, but we can acknowledge that without invalidating people who believe that the Elm project has been mismanaged by just assigning them to some "those kinds of people" bin.

1) It’s not at feature parity,

And

2) It’s not the official implementation, so using it is committing to debug and work around divergence between it and actual git, probably after production or otherwise in-use data have been messed up.
I see, thank you! I had totally misunderstood.
Better bring a sack of fruit with high water content then. Maybe the security doesn't have enough imagination to clasify them as "liquids". For instance China is an exporter of pomelo. The fruit is also used as a good luck charm, consumed during the mid-autumn festival and used in Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in India, so you could claim it's for "religious use" if they try to confiscate it.
I do not believe you're making an argument in good faith, you're just stirring the bot with a false equivalence. Take it to twitter.

The Devil's Advocate in me feels compelled to point out that git is (to the very best of my fallible knowledge) the _only_ SCM in history to permit rewriting of history. Certainly SVN, CVS, and their predecessors did not get it all wrong by not enabling editing of history?

Admittedly, rebase/squashing/etc. is _necessary_ for a Linux-kernel-scale project, but 99.99+% of software projects are, in terms of the number of contributors/contributions, so far removed from that scale as to not even register on that scale.
These people do exist. I have a cousin who actually believes taxes are theft (when pressed he will walk it back to "extortion").

He believes he does not owe the government anything, and neither does anyone else. He also gets mad at the roads not being well maintained. These two things cannot go together.

I have an uncle on the other side of the family which is similar.

In the rare cases I have sparred with them on social media, I helpfully advised they investigate the rugged beauty of Antarctica.

my own version:

I don't grow any food, but I spend time foraging fruit, and look at places where perfectly good food is wasted (markets), I haven't spent money since 8 months currently (bought some rice & soap early in the year)

I did't buy clothes since decades, only shoes rarely, but most of the time I'm barefoot or in flip flops

I don't speak a lot, nor use maths anymore, but respect these inventions

I don't really like this society & laws, where many kind of excess are allowed at the expense of the environment and poor people

I'm moved by naturals sounds and things

I haven't used medical attention in decades, but respect for the medical people, it just feels like it's overconsumed like many other things

I didn't invent any tech, and use it as least as possible

I don't like humanity, especially the recent centuries, by far the worst species on the planet, just after mosquitoes
I agree that the American stock market has been an outlier, and most Americans don't realize the extent to which that is true; it's good that you do. But compared to buying and holding a widely diversified and low cost portfolio, what was the better strategy for investors in other markets? What would be the better strategy for Americans over the next 40 years (not knowing if it will be a miserable time or not)?

I think this is a case of "time in the market" being the least worst option. The market may reward it, or it may not, but hard times are hard times and I don't see any obvious way to avoid them without exposing yourself to a lot more risk in other ways.
the apollo app for reddit was great for this; it allowed me to put all those words into a filter list, then the app did the hard lifting of filtering out blocks of that kind of content from my feed, so i could keep browsing reddit to stay informed about interesting things in my field without stumbling across things that would derail me

But to your point of not being able to use btc normally, in everyday life. Sure, but it's chicken and egg. If artists start to make some serious satoshis, they will naturally look for a nice place to exchange, it will come.

Meanwhile, I can now listen to a music podcast, stream satoshis back, the satoshis are split between podcaster (DJ) and artist. If I boost (send some extra satoshis) during the playing of a song, it goes to that creator.

What isn’t how what works? Use your words.

(People literally are in such a race to pick a fight and defend their best friend AMD they forgot to make the rest of the post lol. Simply say the most mild thing and AMD people trip over themselves to do this stuff constantly, it’s funny.)

Do you think OP is referring to something other than fury x/Vega when they said “gpu shipped to consumers”? That’s the only thing that comes to mind, literally there are only less than a half dozen consumer gpus from AMD in the stacking era so I don’t know what else it would be.

If you mean true memory in the die, not stacked, not just a cache - AMD has never shipped that to consumers (or professionals) in a gpu. Nobody puts memory in the gpu because it would be a waste of die space.

But like, gotta defend AMD, better hammer that downboat and drop a pithy six-word/single-sentence reply. Social media is constantly seething with the AMD defense force looking for fights, gets super old.

Like, it was literally less than 30 seconds from clicking post on my comment to seeing your debate determinating cliche. What fine discourse we have here.
It's pretty funny and reflects the unfortunate state of culture at the current point in time.
Yeah, I don't think this quote fits here.

Elm had a massive shot at making the big time circa 2015-2016. If they hadn't blown that shot, yeah, they'd be the kind of tool a lot of people use and complain about. But what I see when it comes to Elm is a lot of people who don't use the language shaking their heads in frustration at what they see as missed potential, while a handful of people who do use the language insist that it's perfect and unchangeable and that Evan could never ever make a bad decision, all the people who disagree must just be short-sighted.
