Subtle difference. A parallel_for can have asynchronous threads. They can all divergen and run independent instructions (due to if statements etc)

SIMT means multiple processors all executing the exact same instruction. One instruction decoder, but like 64 execution pipelines.
The European parlement is probably the best thing that we have in Europe, most good things and new rights come from there.

At the opposite, the European Commission is probably the worse that we can have. It is totally corrupted (see the vice president with bags of cash given by the Qatar and co) or at least morally corrupted by lobbies. And no one elected this persons with so much power by the way.

Good things to wonder is why America got shared access to all financial transactions of European citizens but the opposite is not true.
> defaults fit a broad general case.

Yeah, they fit the general case of a MIPS R4400 with a 1mbps network adapter, a situation that nobody faces today. I think the most glaring example is `rmem_max` which is never sufficient to support a coast-to-coast 1gbps flow, and every individual Linux user in history has needed to independently discover this stupid sysctl.

>Makes me wonder if hackernews is already a separated community from YCombinator

Speaking as an antifascist who once parked a Ford Focus on Sand Hill Road amongst super cars and stole a few glasses of the finest bourbon from Zuck's shindig that was in the same venue as the bar some Stanford types insisted on going to because they don't need to worry about money so they disdained the nuthouse.

"The News" will remain separate, and it's probably a good thing.

You have a good community here -- I disagree with many people, but I keep coming back because they accomplished what Slashdot failed to do.

(A place where I don't have to here grown ass men talk about how they want to pour hot grits over underage film stars, where we can be the kind of anonymous that only happens when people can guess, but never know, who's three nodes or seven proxies away.)
Idk...

The EC pushes through controversial decisions, that are not controversial between states... the bar is generally something high in this regard.

National Governments get a buffer between them and discontented citizens, because "it's the EU." There is also a lot of pressure to conform to EC "consensus," parties/individuals that want to be seen as government material.

EC totally discounts digital privacy especially privacy from state actors and there is corruption, carve out a and such. I disagree with a lot of their agreements. I agree that they make far too many laws and are way too bureaucratic but....

EP is a shitshow on another level. It's literally the star wars senate. Endless factions, recreational politics. No about to act in a way that might result in anything but show. It's trump, but boring.

National governments also don't lack in corruption. Politics sucks.

IMO, what is badly missing is an active electorate. Civil society. There needs to be an organized, pro-freedom movement. ATM, EC is taking advice from tech industry,dirty insiders and spooks. No one speaks for "The Cause" because, to paraphrase americans... "When I need to speak to Europe's digital freedom people, who do I call?"
We as the tech community have the power to prevent something like this by developing open software and hardware, and an anonymous P2P encrypted communication platform (that doesn't require anything like a phone number for creating an account). Even if they were able to ban people running unauthorized phones/computers, if we reached the point that open devices were cheap/easy enough to self-assemble there'd be nothing they could do to stop it (short of doing deep packet inspection on every single connection to disconnect any encrypted connection, which even China doesn't do as it's extremely impractical).

What's the most striking to me in The Beatles collaborative process is this ability to harness the creativity of your band mates at the moments when you reach your internal barrier.

It needs trust and practical receptiveness. That is, opposite to perfectionism and self-imposed drive for originality.
>> it might not seem a big step from their side when they decided to also patch game code that runs on the CPU. It was unfortunate that they did not realise this would lead to triggering anti-cheat systems in games though.

Never mind anti-cheat systems. This is a huge boundary violation - like when Sony installed root kits. It's one thing to modify your own products behavior, but quite another to modify other software!

I’m pretty familiar with the Meet UI thumbs up feature and this was not it. The other person didn’t take any action other than making a actual thumbs up with their hand. They were confused by the visual as well and it distracted us from the call enough that he ended up investigating and it turned out to be the new Apple feature.

Edited to add: FWIW they were on the latest macOS and I wasn’t.
If Apple hid every new feature behind a on/off setting, no one would enable new features, ever.

That's because they hide the on/off settings. Discoverability is no longer considered a worthwhile design goal. Apple's attitude comes down to, "You're either with it, or you're not."

(Yes, that's as inherently exclusionary as it sounds. It's astonishing to watch the irony elude nominally-progressive companies like Apple.)
The UK government has just stopped off-shore wind turbine growth for the next decade, delayed their ban on internal combustion engine cars another five years, cancelled the High Speed 2 (HS2) railway extension and said they’ll put that money into roads instead.

The last time I switched jobs was in October of 2020, so I haven’t experienced this personally, but I have a lot of friends in the same boat.

Lots of said friends were affected by layoffs at various tech companies over the last couple years, but I also have some junior dev friends that are finding it basically impossible to even get callbacks. Everyone seems to only want senior devs at the moment.
What I've seen as effective as a new manager is to think about scoping whole and independent areas of responsibility for each individual on my team. This requires upfront thinking and planning, but pays in the long term as individuals come into these areas as end-to-end owners. In many cases, overtime, they became deeper experts than me in their respective areas, such that 1 + 1 > 2 in the long run.

As far as specific task delegation, if you are looking at your task list, I'd recommend a modification of "Eisenhower Matrix", that looks like this:

- Important / One-time Tasks - Keep for yourself.

- Important / Frequently Repeating Tasks - Delegate with high priority.

- Not important / Frequent tasks - Delegate with low priority.

- Not important / One time tasks - Delete.

>FX if you are in a club and they kick you out for being abusive towards other members should they have to refund you?

What if I did not buy a ticket but payed in advance for a full year access, I think it is fair if they refuse to give me what I am paying I should get my money back. In the one time used ticket you can claim that I already entered the club, had my fun and used the ticket, but with a year long subscription is different. Now you might claim that it is hard for them to do a partial refund then I would say do not offer a year long pre-paid plan, offer a monthly plan if you have a "ban" feature.

The phrase "eeyay horavot" can mean "destroyed islands" or "destroyed villages", but you have typed עיי חורבות which means "destroyed villages", not איי חורבות which means "destroyed islands".

Basically if you're listening to the audio, you could interpret it either way, and the difference would only arise when you try to write it down or read it, because the "eeyay" for "island" and the other "eeyay" are homophones.

Since "eeyay horavot" is a standard compound-word that is transliterated in the Bible using עיי instead of איי the speaker likely meant "destroyed villages" instead of "destroyed islands".

The fascinating thing to me is that the EPP(European peoples party) which ironically is the strongest party in the EU and seems to be the one least representative of the people spans across almost all EU nations.

I find it very disturbing how the EU party system works above country party systems, where the EPP often overrides what the people in their own respective countries voted for.

It's pretty trivial to list reasons why you'd want a local chat app over a US created one.

It is just too difficult to make.

I don't think many people admit how differently we all think about software creation, all the tools that currently exist are shaped 100% around American big tech needs (cool i guess) and the American personality.

It is incredibly difficult to go off-piste and create a different paradigm on computing like Xerox did (which Jobs and Gates 'borrowed from').

The existing eco-system constantly updates/changes itself according to an American clock, so you get isolated and disconnected (from knowledge bases and relationships) if you try to go for a 'long shot'.

Even making small changes have to fit in with the existing eco-system.

99% of all the new ideas that could be made require radically different tooling and that is deeply expensive, constantly contentious with existing powers and disruptive to current services.

Sinply changing Google maps to list street names even when fully zoomed out OR to suggest vocaly three-moves-in-advance when driving.. is basically impossible.

Tech has clamped itself down and has no desire to allow anyone to tinker or tailor their own solutions.

It is deeply deeply frustrating to see what could be made better and to be arbitrarily locked out.
I've been writing and recording music for a long time, and I've internalized a lot of these pieces of advice. I work completely solo, so it's nice to see that some of the techniques I use are also useful to others. Lyrics have historically been difficult for me, not because I don't have the inclination or intuition for them, but because I've always been a bit embarrassed and frozen in-place by the prospect of sharing that sort of expression with others. I've forced myself to become more comfortable with it in the past several years, since it's ultimately the kind of music I want to write, but it hasn't been easy. I used to sort of "through-compose" both the lyrics and songwriting itself -- writing and recording entire songs "piecemeal" and in serial, chunks at a time, getting impatient with the lyric writing process and just wanting to set something to tape.

I've since come around to writing everything in full before doing any recording, which has been difficult and a real test of my patience. I'm taken to writing very long (>8 minutes), winding songs with dense arrangements and quite ornate language, and without traditional song structure or repetition. I'm not used to stewing on something for so long before being able to actually record; these days it will take me months from the the seed of an initial idea to recording. Whenever some idea strikes me, or I see or hear something in the world around me that piques me interest or inspires me, I immediately write it down on whatever I have handy. The same goes for musical ideas; whenever some motif or progression pops into my head I record it into my phone. It's taken some courage to get over my own embarrassment of having to leaf through this seemingly juvenile collection of half-thoughts I've amassed, but I've come to realize that of all things that may prevent you from realizing your passions, you shouldn't let yourself be one of them.

Anyways, I've come to love this slow, plodding process of writing. There's a great joy in finding precisely the right word or phrase for a particularly difficult passage.
Because it's true, right?

I'm not saying there aren't any HARD steps.

Trees would be replanted as they die, and the dead trees would be used for products. It's a constant process or cycle, not a one time thing. Also, by the time you plant enough trees to cover the entire landmass hundreds of years will have already passed and by then we're sequestering co2 with technology and firing it into space or using it for something else, with large reforestation projects ongoing because it's beautiful to have trees.

From a climate concern point of view, trees as carbon sinks work.

> In every case, when I watched them closely, I realized they barely ate anything

I know people (mainly Asian guys that are trying to build muscle) that seriously struggle to eat at a calorie surplus. So maybe it's not "metabolism" (which there are significant differences between humans) but also differing levels of hunger.
> sometimes whoops is probably a better message when the issue is technical.

Except that you can't do anything with it either, and particularly not report it.

It sure seems that a lot of effort goes in to preventing the LLM from obeying the user while actual security issues-- like allowing CSRF like attacks from the interface-- go ignored.

Thanks for pointing it out, it was not obvious on my phone.

I think that this website needs to improve the experience of mobile users. First, the book index on the landing page didn't contain hyperlinks to the free book chapters and these chapters don't appear on the preview, so users may assume it is a shady marketing tactic (trial, requires retweet, subscription to book platform, ...). Second, towards the end of the page, there could be a one-sentence-description of the next section with an hyperlink. Right now there is only a "next" button that is easy to miss, and it can be confused with generic "next post" buttons used by many blog platforms that users learn to ignore because they tend to be useless.
I can think of two major, extra lifestyle factors that increase calories in adulthood that we overlook in favor of more appealing explanations like "metabolism tho":

1. We eat out more as adults. Our skinny kid/teen selves didn't even have the money/vehicle/norm to eat out much less do it daily like we can as adults. This also includes eating out during our lunch break. Every time we eat out that's an easy 1000+ calories.

2. When you live with a partner, every time they ask "wanna eat something?" and you say "yes", that's a moment you wouldn't have eaten had you been a bachelor. We'll even say yes when we aren't hungry.

It's funny how much we want to believe in factors out of our control.
There is a lot in your comment to unpack, so I hope this is helpful:

1. Yes, there is an industry-wide downturn in tech. There was just massive over-hiring during the pandemic, and then a huge number of layoffs, which means there are tons of people on the market. Many people have been reporting a strong shift in mentality, lead times, etc. in the tech job market.

2. There is, however, still a lot of demand for tech workers, even if still less than the ZIRP years. Many companies and institutions simply couldn't compete with high paying FAANGs and startups for tech talent, but their need to tech work didn't go away. So in places like government, consumer-focused companies, non-profits, etc. are still hiring. Salaries are often considerably lower than pure tech companies.

3. Despite the huge number of remote jobs, location still matters, primarily because relationships still matter, and those are easier to build face-to-face. This is not unique to tech. If you want to make it big in the fashion industry, there are maybe 4 -ish cities worldwide where you should live. Movie-making, pretty obvious. So while tech is just an overall much, much larger industry, it's not surprising you're disillusioned by St. Louis.

You say that you're a contractor. What does this mean exactly? I.e. are you a contractor by choice, or would you prefer a full time job? How do you normally find jobs (is there a recruiter you usually work with, do you do your own searching, get jobs from past contacts, etc.)? The answer to these questions is important when it comes to optimizing your job search.

I don't understand what makes you so confident about it. How do you know they are accurate? People say that they get the same prompt using different techniques but that doesn't prove anything. It can easily be simulating it consistently across different input, like it already does with other things.
Another solution is to simply install 15x solar panels and switch off some when there is too much power. Because a panel currently goes for 11 cents per watt and there's almost no more expenses involved with overbuilding - no inverters, transformers or grid connection as you just switch off them on DC panel output point if there's too much power - it comes dirt cheap.

But I still don't see how that form of RLHF could be fully, mechanistically reliable, which is what you'd need here. Current RLHF drastically lowers the likelihood of the LLM generating objectionable content, but it doesn't drop it to zero, because LLMs need to be highly pliant and suggestible to be useful and that leaves a window of opportunity for bad actors. How would this be any different?

"It transcends everything. It’s much bigger than four kids from Liverpool. For me the Beatles are proof of the existence of God. It’s so good and so far beyond everyone else that it’s not them."

I hadn't heard that one before.

I think what the Beatles did can be called "riding the wave of fortune" or "being on a roll", but they somehow did it year after year instead of just a few times, like most people manage to.
