It is getting very hard to popularize modern research, especially when it is of the more abstract type (as in mathematics). The author does his best but I am not sure it is even a solvable problem.

The challenge is what level of familiarity with mathematics to assume of the reader. To transmit a sense of the actual accomplishment of the work, the actual concepts need to link to internalized concepts available to the readers (a sort of mathematical mapping that follows the pattern: A is to B what x is to y).

So its important to have a coherent set of x,y to work with (the assumed level of audience knowledge) and that set has to be expressive enough to convey the essence of the new development and its importance / limitations.

It feels still possible to achieve this using book-level amount of effort from author and audience (where entire early chapters lay the groundwork for the main course), but an article length might be prohibitevely short.

Something that could help, given the online format, is hyperlinks to further explanations (but they must be short and at a consistent level).
iirc Intel has a line of cards that only work on their CPU lines and otherwise, Intel seems to have soft blocked their compatible cards from OEMs - we can't get AMD laptops with Intel nics anymore where I work from all vendors.

Otherwise nope - I run Intel ax cards in all of my laptops (HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, surface laptop 4 -- came with Intel) and they are solid in windows and Linux.

I've been running my 12th Gen Intel Framework for just over a year (since I got it) with Linux (KDE Neon). Bluetooth, expansion cards, thunderbolt, wifi - literally no issues. I haven't even had to fiddle with it. I use it all day for work (software engineering - lots of VM's and browser tabs) and all evening for Minecraft and movies. When I'm at my desk at home it's plugged in to a Thunderbolt 4 dock driving two monitors and getting Gigabit network speed.

Before that I had a brand new Dell XPS 13, which again I had for a little over a year, running KDE Neon. It wasn't used for work as much, but again it worked perfectly fine, including the touch screen I didn't even want on it (okay- a major issue was the battery life, which was atrocious).

Neither of these even came with Linux installed.

Dude, that's not how anyone teaches NNs or learns NNs.

You don't need graph theory to understand NNs at all.

You need Linear Algebra and Differential Calculus, though.

You do need graph theory to understand and do Graph Neural Networks. But that's a subfield of modern AI and many AI researchers don't know/study/research Graph NNs at all.

You don't actually need to know graph theory to do RL, Vision, ANNs, NLP, etc. unless explicitly needed in your research/job.
Google and Facebook are not interested in pooling all their resources in order to build the next big thing. They are just interested in doing “enough” so that people keep using their platforms. The race is about how often a day every person on the planet spends on either google or Facebook/instagram. It’s about who is “the homepage of the internet”. They just need to be good enough so that traffic doesn’t move off to chat gpt.
But what about the 2100 problem?!?
This is a comment that only makes sense if you believe NIST designed CRYSTALS-Kyber, or had a significant hand in its design. But nothing of the sort happened. The CRYSTALS team is overwhelmingly academic and overwhelmingly European. It's frustrating that Bernstein has communicated about this without making that clear, because it's obvious that lots of people believe NIST went off in a room and came up with a scheme, and your first responsibility in discussing this honestly is to dispel that misconception.
It comes the next day, shipping is free with prime, you can return it easily.

An EBay listing often has buyers contacting you through email trying to do the transaction outside of ebay. The lower the price the higher the shipping cost. Forced to use paypal. Gambling you get the product listed not scammed and can fight your way through the dispute process.

Individual vendors are great but you must do your own vetting. Going in and finding out they have no stock and you are directed online is getting more common.
I don’t think that’s really ADHD. It’s a motivation/interest issue (and maybe it’s not really an issue) and it can be fixed by factors like choosing to pursue fewer things, focusing on your day job, or prioritizing certain things over others. It might be ADHD if they’re not functional at any of it, but it certainly doesn’t sound like it, and from my experience with people with ADHD, many are actually dysfunctional to the point of needing medication to get anything meaningfully done.

Apple predicted the rise of local LLMs, hence the M2 Ultra
When Mac Studio was announced, my first question was: Why cram so much power in a device when no software needs it? I'm talking about the 192GB RAM—when was the last time you needed that?

Apple was (and is) not a player in desktop gaming and it shows—the M series are amazing in terms of power use, but not comparable to dedicated nvidia GPUs, so, again, why 192GB RAM?

It was until recently when I read this [0] that I realized Apple might have very well predicted the rise of local LLMs and most likely has its own in-house LLM in the works. In [0], the GG in GGML and GGUF explains that "The M2 Ultra is the absolute best personal LLM inference node that you can buy today."

And remember: llama.cpp is not even taking full advantage of the modern APIs Apple announced. Still, it achieves amazing inference speeds. Imagine the day when llama.cpp goes all Apple and integrates their API...

Apple well knew that local LLMs are the future, and they predicted that running a small model (up to 34B) should not require much processing power (so the M series need not be comparable to nvidia RTX GPUs) and this translates directly to much lower power consumption. But the bottleneck that Apple foresaw was the amount of graphic memory that these models are going to need. So it's no wonder that you see high RAM and low GPU power in the M series.

File search in graphical Linux is terrible as well.

This is a terribly bad faith argument. Apart from anything else, comparing AirTags to guns is absurd.

However, as I said in another comment, if they have been away from their paired phone for more than a few hours, they beep whenever they are moved. Even if you have no phone at all.

Aircraft carriers are what gives the US global military dominance. They are moving airports, moving cities, moving military bases that can be positioned within bombing range of anywhere in the world and they are usually flanked by a few nuclear subs. Most fighter jets have a range of less than 2000 miles so you need the moveable airports.

The fact that aircraft carriers are slow is irrelevant, you won't ever get close enough to fire on them.

I read the argument as more like,

Alice has lost her pen that may have no ink in it. Alice has also lost her bank card. Alice has just spend hours searching for her pen. What does this say about Alice?

It says alice gets swept up in solving "problems" that arent even clearly problems (does she need a pen without ink?) all the while not even basically engaged in real problems.

Here: do airtags make society less safe, or more safe? Does it, eg., supress theft? Does it enable more criminals who would go on to other commit crimes to be caught early? (And so on..)

In other words what does our being hastily swept up in one downside of one piece of technology tell us?

Now, if you think airtags are serious threats to social saftey, the above doenst apply. But I dont read the guns point as procrasting whataboutism -- rather I read it as a claim that airtags are pens-without-ink and this is obvious when contrasted with a more actually pressing matter.

I read it as a claim that we're being sweptup in moralising about a non-moral problem

It's a search engine / social network prototype I've been working on.

My idea was to use a social network as the backbone of a search engine.

My thinking was that the majority of the internet doesn't need to be indexed, so why not just use the portion of the web that is offered up by users? If this sounds stupid, I would offer Hacker News as a working example of this model.

My other motivation was that the majority of platforms operate on a popular vote strategy, as a result, content that appeals to our lesser nature tends to do very well. YouTube, for example, could not support the development of content as ambitious as Avatar.

Content on Zohing is ranked using a "recursive voting" strategy. It attempts to find accounts that have been deemed by other users to be "high quality" and weight their interactions more.

Put simply: On the spectrum of Avatar to TLC I want creators to aim for Avatar. I am try to create a platform whose underlying game incentivizes the creation of difficult, high effort content instead of reality TV and cable news.

Zohing was created to function as a mobile web app. Getting it to work smoothly on iOS safari was a real challenge. I had to do some ugly hacks to get 2 way infinite scrolling to work. For version 2 I am going to go with a more conservative approach.

If you want to know how the recursive vote algorithm works or have any other questions you can email me at: surgeon@zohing.com
> I think anyone blaming Israel for Hamas's action [...] is on the wrong side of history.

Ha'aretz: "The disaster that befell Israel on the holiday of Simchat Torah is the clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu." [0]

Times of Israel: "For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces" [1]

> Whatever happened in the past doesn't justify brutality and savagery against civilians.

Whether an action justifies another action and whether the choice to engage in the first action earns blame for the results of the subsequent action are different questions.

The Israeli government can rightfully be blamed for the reasonably forseeable consequences of its policies, whether or not those consequences involve unjustified actions by other parties for which those parties also bear blame. Blame is not exclusive.

I would argue that those who ignore or deny the blame Israel--and the Netanyahu government in particular--is due are as much on the wrong side of history as those who do the same for Hamas.

At least in Nürnberg and surrounds, vaping has taken over for people under 40. I’ve had colleagues vape on camera during informal meetings. The vapers I know (adults past college age) were all tobacco smokers before, so this is (hopefully) better for them. They definitely smell better!

Adults tend to use the refillable ones, and I usually can’t smell what they’re vaping, but I see high school age kids with the colorful, flavored disposable ones that my little kid seems to have a tropism for.
>This gives rise to the sense that democracy, at least in part, may be a deception that usefully provides people the illusion of a voice for change, while at the same time protecting the governing system by ensuring people do not seek more disruptive methods to alter it.

As Churchill said, "democracy is the worst form of government, except all others". Are there elements in democracies that entrench the status quo? Of course, especially in countries like the UK and the US with single member district, first past the post systems that favor huge parties that never change. Here we have a pretty complex party list based system that is often critiqued as "too difficult to understand for the average voter", but when people want to change who rules the country they have more than 1 viable choice of opposition. You may say, nah, it is not about the system of voting, duopoly is a feature of "mature" democracies that have been around for 400 years. To which I'll give an example of Poland where the lower chamber of parliament (Sejm) is voted for party lists proportionally and it always has a mix of many parties, and the upper chamber (Senat) that uses the classic "first past the post" system and in the senate 2 major parties(the biggest party and the current biggest opposition party) always get 95%+ of the seats.
Scroll bars were fine.

CRYSTALS-Kyber is anything but a black box. It's an academic research project, about which a metric fuckload of rationale, critique, and rebuttal has been published openly.
Why do they like to tell you mAh, but never power consumption in different states?

They'd probably have to call it "mAh per hour" to avoid people needing a science lesson to read it, but still.

mAh just says "to achieve our battery life we needed this much energy". It's not that much of an interesting spec on it's own, since it would be better to have less energy drain and less mAh, if we could get the same performance, rather than more of both.

It's more useful in power banks, or would be, if they weren't often lying.
Some of the biggest low cost airlines in the world (Ryanair, Southwest) have stellar safety records. Their model doesn't work if there are safety concerns - 40€ roundtrip to Ibiza makes the pain of the lack of legroom and luggage policies and shitty airports/terminals worth it for many, but not if they're known as unsafe.
NIST standardized AES and SHA3, two designs nobody believes are compromised. The reason people trust AES and SHA3 is that they're the products of academic competitions that NIST refereed, rather than designs that NSA produced, as was the case with earlier standards. CRYSTALS-Kyber is, like AES and SHA3, the product of an academic competition that NIST simply refereed.
It works too:

I don't think the problem is that kyber was designed weak. the fear is that the NSA/NIST saw an algorithm that was weaker than it should be and worked nice and hard to make sure it became the standard. the worry isn't a back door, it's unintentional mistakes that are being capitalized on.

I apply the same logic in all cases (as much as any fallible person can), which in your example leads me to assume just as confidently that of course other people have subjective experiences and obviously exist separate to my self. It's the logical conclusion using the same reasoning behind believing the after-life does not exist.

I believe consciousness is an emergent property of the of the brain and body, and the associated connections and (physical/chemical/electrical/etc) interactions

In that context, subjective experiences exist just as much as anything else does, obeying all the laws of physics.

I don't understand why people think the problem is hard, except for hoping and wishing that it is?

Countless people have had replacement AirPods without issue, so what’s different here?

We need more information.

What do you mean “their software didn’t work”? Was this special tooling used by Apple support, or did you remove the AirPods from your account manually?

Did you escalate the situation? Call the support line?

If you remove the replacement AirPod, does the original one still work? If not, why not?

Can you get a refund on your botched replacement?
