It does have a PCI-e slot, which is unusual in competing products. But yeah, otherwise it's a matter of marketing particularly with the Zimaboard. Their new Zimablade is much more interesting; it's still old slow tech but they retained the PCI-e slot and dropped the price all the way down to $65 US.
This is some of the most soul-dampening marketing pablum I’ve ever seen. Perfectly inoffensive and adhering strictly to all Acceptable Mainstream Concepts. Well done, Google. An achievement of a kind, for sure.
Obviously it is possible to design well or to design badly the LED bulbs.

Those which fail are likely to fail due to inadequate cooling. With good cooling even large currents cannot damage the LEDs. As long as the temperature of the LED is limited there is no need to drive it less.

I have bought 8 years ago about two dozen LED lamps of 1500 lumen (equivalent to 100 W incandescent lamps) and of 4000 K color temperature (slightly yellowish white, but not yellow like those that imitate incandescent lamps), which were made by Philips and which have the same size as traditional incandescent bulbs.

All of those still work flawlessly, while consuming only a little more than half of the power consumed by the compact fluorescent lamps replaced by them.

I do not doubt your experience, but it is possible to choose better LED lamps.

If you had pointed at something like GTK, then yes, there is a big impedance mismatch there.
If the plug actually complies with the spec, and has the metal shroud as it is supposed to, it works fine, and will not go in backwards. It's making USB connectors which are just a piece of PC board that's the problem. Looking at you, Yubikey.

I think that's the right answer - human trainers prefer an answer, even a made up one, to "I don't know".
> It's not totally obvious to me that there is not some shuffle or permute facility that can load 64 bytes at a time from LUTs.

You are talking about vgather and/or vscatter, which are well known to be very slow AVX2 or AVX512 instructions.

Maybe a future CPU will make these instructions high performance. But no modern 2023-era CPU has a high-speed vgather.

Like: the vgather does one-at-a-time slow. You basically lose parallelism even if the vgather instruction describes what you want to do, it's not an effective parallel operation today (and may never be)

--------

Pshufb as a 4-bit LUT is an exception and is effectively a high speed (but very very small) lookup table. Like every cycle 64 bytes at a time fast.

You are limited by the 16-byte lookup size (aka the size of an SSE register), maybe a bit bigger if there are new instructions I dunno about.
> So it makes no sense to use a more expensive energy source than renewables just because you've been convinced renewables are too unsafe.

I agree. But it does make sense to use nuclear for other practical reasons. It works well for fulfilling base load. Renewables are great but transmission and storage is a bitch for those which are not dispatchable.

Where nuclear shines is in replacing other base loads, like coal.
Oops. I was thinking of specifically the case where each "container" was already confined to its own space on the chip, so placing/routing would happen individually. But in the general case it does make sense that more logic in the middle of some code will affect everything that has to be placed around it.

>> I am positive that we can't agree on a robust definition of thinking, because the definition of thinking is beyond human understanding.

In that case, shouldn't the people who say LLMs can think do the hard work of explaining what "thinking" means and why they er think it's done by LLMs?

Surely the default position should be that LLMs don't think because they don't belong to the class of entities that we know can think. If that default assumption is wrong, well, then, someone has to do the hard work of rejecting it. But just claiming that we think they think because who knows what thinking is, is just an excuse to not do the work.
For the most part I agree. This can generalized with the observation that a) sometimes is faster to recompute a function than caching it, and b) cache is a limited resource usually more than CPU cycles.
Agreed. Everyone forgets how awful it was and even though USB wasn't perfect, it was a huge improvement over the status quo. For that, I can forgive the inventors for making a mistake. Nobody's perfect. The travesty is that it took so long to correct the issue.
Wwiii Has Already Started (Oct 2021)
Perhaps not useless, but definitely not as convenient as we hope warp technology will be someday. Could such a device be used as a way to improve thruster efficiency? If you can drag a large enough warp bubble with conventional thrusters, and it "slopes" space in front of you, could it make moving in the direction of the slope easier so you use less fuel?
>recovering after the oom killer wipes out my X session or browser.

Perhaps you can share more details of what you're doing to force the cache to drop and what the side effects are exactly because an OOM can't be caused by the file cache since the total free memory available to applications remains the same. The whole point of the file cache is to use otherwise unallocated memory and give it up the moment it's needed. There should not be an OOM from this short of an OS bug or an over allocated virtualized system.
LLMs don't reason, and autistic people have an internal state. We have thoughts and memories, and understand context. If you were trying to fit a pegs into holes, you'd correct pretty quickly when the square peg didn't fit a circle hole.
I wonder what the etiquette for oncoming traffic was, those spiral staircases with a central spine aren't really walkable anywhere but at the outer wall.

Whoever has to step to the spine side would probably want a hand on the spine, palm making contact from the uphill side no matter wether facing up or down. So for someone uphill, the spine contact would be made with the outside hand (arm crossing in front), for someone downhill with the inside hand. On a clockwise staircase, this would leave the right hand comfortably idle for candle, tool or whatever the person deferring to (presumably higher ranking?) oncoming traffic on the wall side is carrying.
As others have said 60 or 90W is just not true.

@dang can we update the src?
There's no evidence for an alternative either. We simply don't have surviving documents that talk about the logic of why staircases were built that way, which is hardly surprising given that even nowadays when books are dramatically cheaper to produce, architects don't tend to write down the logic they use when designing the details of functional structures.

The combat explanation fits the evidence as well as anything else. Perhaps it's not proven to be true, but it's certainly not proven to be false.
The UK ditched airport liquid restrictions in December 2022 (although airports have until June 2024 to implement the change). Specifically, the 100ml rule is now a 2 litre rule.

Generally speaking you don’t have to remove shoes at UK airports, either.
When I worked at Scottish Gas, dealing with tenement flats in Edinburgh was always a nightmare because TGB (the old billing system) used the old 1F/2F/3F system but the electricity system used the numbered system - so customers would get mail for both but it would be mixed up all the time.

If you have to deal with a pre-pay meter going in, or just a change in meter they usually screwed up the MPR number with the address and end up replacing the wrong one.

And I lived in Edinburgh for 13 years, mostly in tenement flats - so it was always a hassle.
256 is indeed pretty limited.

Unicode does have a limited space, but it cannot be stored practically in single table. It currently runs up to 0x323AF, a bit over 200k, and most of the characters of course don't have a lower/uppercase mapping. The implementations I've seen do a few comparisons and then delegate to a table.

But: horses for courses. If you have to normalize a lot of Latin-1 text (such transform case, or strip diacritics), you can probably write some vector instructions that runs circles around a simple LUT. But it's not going to be as easy.
The static warp field doesn't allow you to go faster than light because it doesn't move relative to the generator. You can drag the field around at sublight speeds but that's about it.

Though IIRC they played around with some different geometries that did move, but the energy required was many times more than the entire universe contains.
Even if you can prove it true in some specific castle that doesn't not mean it is true for all. Maybe other castles just copied the one where it was - often type of thing is done in architecture without realizing why, and so one castle built for fighting on stairs was copied in others without the other features that make fighting on stairs possible. (Or maybe the first was built for fighting on stairs, but after it was built practice proved it was still a bad idea - lots of variations on this idea).

Is this not the case with all the major R1 institutions?

Walt Rostow may no longer be deciding on troop levels from his office in the MIT Economics department (that cause MIT to "divest" its overtly military work into figleaf organizations) but still, after that, ARPA (later DARPA) poured hundreds of millions into the institution.

They basically paid for my education there and I am not a US citizen and never worked on anything military-related, either while in school or since.

> Often with slightly different random values or temperature or phrasing, the same LLM will give different results for the same problem.

You're fundamentally describing a stochastic parrot here, and not an intelligence. When you say that humans can also make the same mistake, you're ignoring the fact that every human testing these systems and finding it lacking are also comparing their experience to a lifetime of interacting with human intelligence. Every anecdote of this sort is an example, typically based on repeatedly trying an assortment of prompts (eliminating two of your variables -- random values & varying prompts), on a large variety of tasks, which is curated down to a single example for the sake of brevity.

To say that "oh maybe it would have gotten the right answer if you got lucky or tried harder or twiddled a knob that you don't have access to" is simply nowhere near the extraordinary evidence that is required to prove the extraordinary claim of "real understanding." The reason that you don't know what to do about these anecdotes is that you lack the evidence to properly rebut them. You can only wave your hands at ill-defined properties and gaslight about the user holding it wrong. Perhaps you should ask your parrot buddy what to do.

But if you were really serious about this, you wouldn't be going after the strawfolk down in the comments, you'd rebut the paper itself.
Vectorized gather loads can do just that. But currently are pretty underwhelming on x86 machines.
> You have no idea what an LLM is or is not doing to predict.

Indeed, but I'm not trying to with that comment, which is just about how my own seems to work on self-reflection. That said, I do have reason to doubt the accuracy of human introspection of our own thought processes, and therefore my own judgment in this may also be flawed.
My take on USB-A: aside from audio connectors that have axial symmetry (and have no meaningful orientation), I never used any reversible computer cables prior to USB-C, and that’s not the main issue. Nor is it the axis of symmetry of the casing allowing failed upside down plugin attempts.

The shitty part of USB-A is that the tactile feedback of being slightly misaligned is identical to it being upside down. My experience tells me no amount of vigorous jiggling or extreme self-confidence will ever allow for consistent average 1.5 attempt plugins.

All the standards before USB were in my memory even less user-friendly — trying in vain to reach behind a heavy computer and unscrew the two jammed retaining bolts holding in a serial, parallel, scsi, vga, or DVI plug with slippery bent plastic jacketed heads. Almost zero clearance from the plug case, that really did suck. Screw it in slightly loser next time, now you’ve got a flickering monitor, dummy.

And ps2/mini-din connectors sucked too - having the connector off-center or at the wrong rotation also felt quite indistinguishable.

Same. I've replaced a ton of LUTs with pure [vectorized] code and most of the time it's a big win. Some computations can of course be too heavy, but that's pretty rare nowadays.
Are you using Apple, or major-vendor cables? Im curious because delamination of a pin on 2 separate ports implies something catching/dragging on it, maybe there is something either poorly designed, or simply mangled in the end of one of your cables.
As an additional data point, my usual OOM experience on Linux is also a completely frozen system until I get frustrated enough to power cycle the machine.

You're making this comment in a way that devalues human intelligence but I actually think not having a great understanding of our own cognition is indicative of something deeper going on physically in our heads that isn't modeled by the extremely simple "neurons" in LLMs. I've seen several people here talk about "the weights in our heads" and I don't think we have enough information about the brain to make that analogy.

Although it can't be easily vectorized, it can be pipelined, that can help both hide the access latency and keep the lookup table hot. The code is not going to be pretty thorough.

> Unless you are giving google your rust code to compile, your app will be limited on it's reach.

Android has supported native code in apps for a long time via the Android NDK, mainly to enable game development. The Android team seems to hate the NDK, but the alternative is to have no games on the platform, so they can't simply kill it.

> ...[native] ... It's not exactly great for runtime performance as it takes away some key optimizations.

In theory a JIT might produce better runtime performance than AOT compiled code, but in practice that usually turns out as wishful thinking.

One example. I asked ChatGPT to take 7 letters and find all the word combos.

There were about 80 possible. It maxed out at 19 or so.

Now clearly this is a hard task. Humans can’t do it well and none of the text corpus would offer training on this sort of thing.

If I asked a human to do it they would say “here’s what I got, I don’t think that is all of them”

ChatGPT would apologize when corrected and make a new, equally wrong list with full confidence.

That’s how I interpret understanding. Self awareness and doubt.

Oddly enough the code interpreter seems much stronger on this point. Now that I think about it I don’t think I was using it for the letter combo task.
Internal monologue can only be self-reported, and I kind of feel like telling someone that says they are ill that it's just all in their head, but... I don't think that any functioning human could possibly have no internal monologue, just lack of introspection.
not sure what you trying to get, but hundreds if not thousands of universities are working closely with DARPA, which is an DoD agency that sponsors mostly high-level and non-classified researches. Many of the researches have weak connections to actual military usages (there has to be _some_ connections, but many of them are pretty weak).
You have still completely failed to communicate whatever point you were trying to make. I have absolutely no idea what idea you were attempting to convey.
This might just mean that they have been trained wrong. Because they should (in order to be useful) “predict” a response consistent with the knowledge or lack of knowledge encoded in the network.

When a human has read (has been “trained” on) some corpus of sources, they have a feel for their confidence in particular statements about topics treated in those sources, based on he content of those sources. There’s no inherent reason why an LLM shouldn’t likewise be able to internally determine a level of confidence, and produce (“predict”) answers consistent with that.
1. Pages cached by applications are charged to its container for the purpose of memory resource limits.

2. IME the kernel takes the container's memory limit into account when determining whether to allocate a page for cache. Caching, by itself, won't cause the container to exceed a memory limit.
When I was a teenager, I had a Windows machine I used for 3D animation and an iPod. I needed to charge the iPod and my mom was calling "dinner!" so I plugged it in quickly and ran off to eat.

When I came back, I realized the Windows machine had a cheap Firewire socket that didn't enforce the orientation. I had plugged in my iPod upsidedown.

I don't remember what it fried. I don't remember the iPod dying, so I'm guessing that socket never worked again.

This is not so crazy - this was exactly the progression in screw drives. First came slotted screws (2-fold rotational symmetry), then Phillips/posidrive/Robertson (4-fold), and now Torx (6-fold). Going back to slotted now is actually irritating.
