The days of the tired overblown mantra among certain software engineering camps, many of which are funded by public capital markets, continuing to beat the drum of "all crypto is a scam" are over. Having an understanding and appreciation of how public capital markets work is key. Not many have this understanding and appreciation. The capital markets were designed to enable a company to raise capital aka funding. Crypto now represents a truly global capital marketplace accessible to all, not just to accredited investors in the US. Bottom line.

Key points to remember:

1. Crypto is not a currency, it's a trading vehicle similar to a stock, junk bond, debenture, options or futures contract.

2. Regulated security tokens/crypto that represent equity ownership in a company with real products and with real revenue generating capability is the future of crypto.

It's important to realize the advantage of a truly global capital marketplace represented by regulated security tokens connected to the equity of a company/startup which provide a company/startup the ability to raise funding, create jobs, get salaries paid, fund operations in science and techology in any indusrty which provide a return on investment capital (ROIC) to stakeholders and shareholders at the same time.
Entertaining people can be useful to society, without fun we'd simply be worker drones living miserable lives.

That said, I also struggle to see how how this guiding principle of "being useful" led him to take these actions. More likely, his real principle is, "be successful" in the dominant media view of "be famous, by doing anything you can to get there". He's selling a book with the same title as his "philosophy" so there's the real answer. I don't mean to be negative towards him, but this article reads like bullshit to me.
Ok, we know sitting is bad for you, but entire swaths of the economy depend on people sitting for long times to do their jobs, so we as a collective society will not do anything about this as profits will go down as a result of adopting measures to prevent people from sitting for long periods of time.

>Is it hate speech when we dehumanize nazis, communists, etc?

What a wild take. "Nazism", "communism", and what is happening in Myanmar are three things with nothing in common whatsoever. What an absurd oversimplification.

>Also, why is it always 'hate speech' when one side does it.

It's not, my friend.

Revise SETI@home. A bitcoin for every earth-sized exoplanet your GPU can discover in a given day. Ten bitcoin if it finds intelligent life.

Maybe it automatically upgrades if you’ve configured it that way - I wouldn’t recommend that either! But using a managed solution will likely give you more options for resolution, and more awareness of problems as they occur - for a self managed cluster you’re totally on your own in terms of all support and maintenance.
Well you don't have to use that passage to know that's exactly what the Bible teaches--"For all have sinned..." Rom 3:23.

Or, later in the same letter, Paul speaks about his own struggles:

“For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” ‭‭Rom‬ ‭7‬:‭18‬-‭19‬

I'm sure the same snake oil dynamic exists everywhere, but the popularity sure seems like a feature of rampant individualism as enabled by wealth. Don't follow professional "medical advice" - that's boring, we all know it's bound to fail, and that's if you can even get an appointment with an engaged professional. Instead "do your own research" and find that one simple trick that "they" have been keeping from you. The lure of someone believing that they've discovered their own smarter approach is a hell of a drug.

It’s a comment on an Internet forum with the name of company written with a typo. Clearly an opinion comment.
Isn't that the case? There are plenty of initiatives (both public and private) which favor non-whites, while I don't think there's even one which favors black people. So, people who get to put non-white in their papers are privileged by the system.
IIRC, ease of implementation (for the GPU kernels), and cross-compatibility (the same bytecode can be loaded by multiple models of GPU).
It's perfectly legal (and common) for a decade now to scan documents and destroy the paper original as long as you follow some guidelines. Keyword is "ersetzendes Scannen".

And yes, they care about those rules and that you provide "originals" according to that definition - in particular that you didn't modify digital documents in any way. You can (and should) comply with that and there are service providers to help if you are to small to set that up yourself.
Ask HN: From Unikernels and JVM to Forth: A New Paradigm for Cloud Computing?
I’ve recently been in a deep discussion exploring various computational models for efficient cloud computing. We began by introspecting Unikernels, which offer single-purpose OS instances tailored for specific applications, resulting in rapid boot times and minimal resource consumption. The discussion moved to considering a hypothetical “bare metal” JVM or BEAM Machine that provides an OS-like abstraction layer for applications. The idea was to have an environment where developers can focus on application logic, while the underlying system efficiently manages hardware resources.

This line of thinking brought forth an intriguing proposition: Could Forth, known for its interactive and intimate relationship with hardware, be an innovative foundation for cloud and serverless environments? Here are some focal points:

- Interactive System Access: Forth allows for direct memory inspection and modification, potentially streamlining debugging and profiling.

- Minimal Attack Surface: With its compact footprint (often <100KB), Forth’s attack surface is reduced, suggesting enhanced security.

- Parallel Execution Potential: By statically analyzing the Forth dictionary, one could assign specific words or tasks to individual CPU cores, reminiscent of the thread-per-core approach, and potentially bypass traditional thread management overheads.

Given these traits, might Forth be a suitable base for crafting highly efficient, secure, and parallelized systems for specialized cloud applications? Are there pitfalls or challenges I might be overlooking in this approach?

Mindful, this will be a new kind of Forth, one built for Big Iron servers, and where HW resource are prime real state, this could be a very interesting approach to hardness more of the potential on “bare metal”.

I’m eager to gather the community’s insights on this intriguing prospect.

The right to control our public exposure is just one facet of the right to privacy.

The right to privacy is personal sovereignty. Meaning control over oneself.

I am my data, my data is me. I own all data about me.

Recognizing our collective right to privacy prohibits facial recognition used for mass surveillance.

Firstly, each person must consent to being represented in those datasets.

Secondly, each person must consent to being tracked.

Have you given consent? I certainly have not. I wasn't even asked.
> The idea that we have to choose one partner for life is so indoctrinated into the fabric of society.

I used to think this and remember my friends and I starting to have this idea that marriage is a social construct in high school and college as we tried on our philosopher hats. A little later I read an interesting book called Sperm Wars [1] that largely tried to line up the results of scientific papers and behavioral surveys with attitudes and narratives about sex. They had what was a compelling argument for me that the cultural ideas behind monogamy are a social rationalization for what we’d be largely doing anyway. In other words, they argued that from as far as they could tell, we tend to have serially monogamous pairings, and the culture and religion views on marriage are just after-the-fact explanations for it, not the primary cause of it. There are, of course, lots of other species on our planet that also tend toward serial monogamy, and don’t have the same social constructs that humans do.

There are similar hassles in Sweden with their BankID for people who can't get it, but have connections to Sweden one way or another. Swedish bureaucracy works quite well if you fit the mold, but can be totally useless if you don't. I think the issue is that as long as enough of the "normal" population thinks it work, no one really cares about those it doesn't work for.
Free web incentivises people to compete for viewers, whereas a paid web you need a reasonable expectation the content is quality.

Maybe. But what it's lacking right now is the intelligence to pull it off, not "Sentience" whatever that means.

I remember when you could query Google for x and it would simply say it didn't have any results for x. It was such a great feeling to get a frank, honest reply instead of being bullshitted with results that didn't have x in then.

The bad outcome is that people can't get clothes at all. The worry about losing jobs is a legitimate worry that these companies will generate a limitless supply of art and code but they will use price fixing to ensure that all the money that previously went to a lot of workers instead goes to a small number of people who own these companies, and the workers will be destitute.

I'd actually be fine weaving clothes by hand a few hours a month if it meant I had no other work to do. But at the moment there are still people who don't own enough if any clothes and work far more than I do. And the question is if the people building AI can be trusted to liberate those people from slavery.

Hello everyone,

Nebuly is a user analytics platform for LLMs. The platform helps you understand what LLM users want and why, how they interact with LLMs, and how satisfied they are. It also uncovers the topics discussed, the most frequently asked questions, so you can better understand what users want and ensure that your LLM-based products deliver value to users.

The platform is currently in early access and you can request a demo via the website or contact one of the founders on LinkedIn to get access.
That's because the pendulum hasn't swung back in that direction yet. By this time next year, it's likely that many of the popular LLM sites will slip in advertisements, pushing the agenda of whoever trained the models.

Each of the steps I outlined above, #1, #2, #3 and #4, are a new set of keyboard buttons and GUIs to learn for KiCad.

Yes, it's a lot to take at once. But fortunately, you only have to move forward one step at a time.

--------

Maybe starting at #2, Schematic, would be the only 'out of order' thing I'd recommend. There might be enough library parts to fill out a large section of your schematic (or maybe not...).

Inevitably, you will have to tackle #1 (symbol editor) and #3 (footprint editor) before you finish #2 and start step #4.

---------

I agree it's a lot to take in at once. But after you do all four steps and understand them, there is a sense of order and process. Especially as #1 (setting the pinout on a symbol), #2 (saying what pins are connected) and #3 (saying which pins belong where physically) are all accomplishing computerized checks to make #4 less error prone.

It's a lot of info to tell KiCad, and any other PCB editor will need all this information as well, so none of it was wasted effort.

It's just a lot of up front complexity that really is intimidating.

---------

#2 schematic editor might be a good starting point because it's what you expect to do. #1 and #3 are somewhat unintuitive steps.

But I'm not sure even that follows. Most of the folks I know who got a divorce or cheated on their partner generally weren't in love with both people at the same time. Obviously it's hard to ever get an true answer on some of this, since it's hard to definitively say if you're in love with someone or not, but almost by definition, infidelity in monogamy isn't polyamory. I just had a friend who was in a polyamorous/open relationship go through a bitter divorce because of the way that a new partner was brought into the group and feelings of betrayal and infidelity that that caused.

Polyamory isn't some sort of magic flag that makes things not infidelity, and most outwardly monogamous people who are in relationships with multiple people aren't closeted polyamorous people, they're just selfish/abusive partners.
I've used Nest and what really got me was that it seemed like a weird compromise.

It performs almost an order of magnitude worse than ASP.NET Core and isn't any simpler (TechEmpower; considering only the EF + PG non-middleware cases).

I feel like if a team is comfortable with TypeScript and considering Nest.js, C# and .NET Core Web APIs are not any harder, but you get much better throughput for your compute spend.

> While I agree that it's much more effort to get things working on AMD cards than it is with Nvidia, I was a bit surprised to see this comment mention Whisper being an example of "5-10x as performant".

It easily is. See the benchmarks[0] from faster-whisper which uses Ctranslate2. That's 5x faster than OpenAI reference code on a Tesla V100. Needless to say something like a 4080 easily multiplies that.

> https://www.tomshardware.com/news/whisper-audio-transcriptio... is a good example of Nvidia having no excuses being double the price when it comes to Whisper inference, with 7900XTX being directly comparable with 4080, albeit with higher power draw. To be fair it's not using ROCm but Direct3D 11, but for performance/price arguments sake that detail is not relevant.

With all due respect to the author of the article this is "my first entry into ML" territory. They talk about a 5-10 second delay, my project can do sub 1 second times[1] even with ancient GPUs thanks to Ctranslate2. I don't have an RTX 4080 but if you look at the performance stats for the closest thing (RTX 4090) the performance numbers are positively bonkers - completely untouchable for anything ROCm based. Same goes for the other projects I linked, lmdeploy does over 100 tokens/s in a single session with LLama2 13b on my RTX 4090 and almost 600 tokens/s across eight simultaneous sessions.

> EDIT: Also using CTranslate2 as an example is not great as it's actually a good showcase why ROCm is so far behind CUDA: It's all about adapting the tech and getting the popular libraries to support it. Things usually get implemented in CUDA first and then would need additional effort to add ROCm support that projects with low amount of (possibly hobbyist) maintainers might not have available. There's even an issue in CTranslate2 where they clearly state no-one is working to get ROCm supported in the library. ( https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/issues/1072#issuecomm... )

I don't understand what you're saying here. It (along with the other projects I linked here[2]) are fantastic examples of just how far behind the ROCm ecosystem is. ROCm isn't even on the radar for most of them as your linked issue highlights.

Things always get implemented in CUDA first (ten years in this space and I've never seen ROCm first) and ROCm users either wait months (minimum) for sub-par performance or never get it at all.

> In your example, there’s a group of people who aren’t cut out for monogamy and are a problem for society no matter what.

To be clear, in my example, polyamorous people are only a problem for society because that society has decided that polyamorous people are a problem. I am advocating for basing our societal mores on reasonable consideration from first principles rather than simply tradition.

> But I think there’s a much larger group of people that could do it in a society that offers them strong support and reinforcement, who will fail and flounder in a society that leaves them free to make choices.

While it is certainly possible to argue against the notion of such-and-such freedom, this appears to be making the following argument: "it is possible to imagine that greater individual freedom will result in undesirable collective outcomes, therefore, all of our traditional restrictions on individual freedom are necessary and may not be challenged." I find this argument to be unconvincing.

The support for this argument that you have given is of the general form: "I am incentivized to be a good husband because I would suffer socially if I were not; therefore, monogamy incentivizes positive relationships." I will counterargue that in a society where divorce is met with social ostracization, this disincentivizes being a good spouse, because you know that your partner is stuck with you even despite your bad behavior. My in-laws are proof of this: my mother-in-law refuses to divorce for religious reasons, despite the fact that my father-in-law is both abusive and a proven cheater. Her misery and guilt over her husband's infidelity does not benefit society in the least. And lest you think that this is a problem of society failing to properly ostracize the husband, rest assured that his children refuse to speak to him and he does not care in the slightest.

Ngl having a shared global decentralized database that’s you can develop on sounds pretty nice to me. Definitely wouldn’t call that a scam. Maybe it’s overvalued though…
As someone who’s dabbled in the art world, I think people underestimate how important provenance is to an art piece. Having a decentralized system that can automatically keep a paper trail and is seamlessly connected to an automated market/auction service is mind blowing for the art world. It’s basically automating two entire sub industries: the auction houses, and the appraisers. The NFTs don’t even need to stay digitally to be useful. The art world is experimenting a lot with printing these days, and the NFTs are just a method of being able to buy a print from the artist.
That is an improvement over gold though, which has an insane cost to move from the us to china.
Isn't this the keyword rewrite that had existed for decades? I remember they showing us similar slides during orientation back when I first interned more than a decade ago.
