It's a nontrivial problem to do faster arithmetic operations with quantized values (which are not just rounded to fit in 4 bits but are usually block quantized with one or more scaling parameters stored at full precision) faster than to convert them to floats that the cpu/GPU is already optimized to multiply/add. That is what this project is proposing a solution to.

It's pretty common to convert to bfloat16 nowadays since that's much faster. e.g. bitsnbytes now defaults to bf16 compute for 4bit quant.
L40 throughput is technically lower though since it isn't clocked to the stratosphere like the 4090. I was wondering if it was barely at the threshold or something.

Dating.

No, seriously.

As a life long loner/introvert with high anxiety, I kinda discovered recently (after a long marriage/divorce/several years of not dating) that dating is actually kind of amazing.

I never even knew this side of myself. I actually enjoy talking to random people about random stuff. Even if it doesn’t lead to a relationship, making any kind of connection with someone is deeply satisfying.

I kind of wonder why I didn’t do this for the last 40 years.

Anyways, if you’re like me, I really recommend pushing through your awkwardness and anxiety and just try to make connections with people. It’s one of the best things I’ve experienced.

I feel like I spent the prior 40 years denying myself of a basic human experience. I’m glad that’s over.

> a sphere with some Schwarzschild radius

...is not what a black hole is. It is not even "something kinda sorta like a sphere with some Schwarzschild radius". It is nothing like any ordinary object you're used to. It doesn't have a well-defined "radius" any more than it has a well-defined volume; the Schwarzschild "radius" is actually sqrt(A / 4 pi), where A is the surface area of the hole's horizon (which in turn is calculated from the mass of the hole).

Saudi and Jordan have intercepted a few of these drones heading to Israel. Arab twitter is raging.

Neither likes Hamas and Saudi definitely isn’t a fan of the Houthis.

It’s funny how several decades ago Israel was seen as the #1 enemy of the Arab world. But now most Arab leaders see Israel as a (potential) economic partner and see Iran and its proxies as the #1 threat.

The problem is that after decades of inciting their own citizens to hate Israel and Jews, they can’t really speak openly in favor of Israel or against Iran.
> Something like npm og Rubys Gem, are confusing because I have no idea where the packages went. Apparently they like somewhere in the current directory, maybe? What if I want to use the same environment and package elsewhere? I'm sure you can do it, but it doesn't seem logical to me that you don't need to specify which environment you're using.

I find the opposite - in theory the Python way might be more orthogonal, but in practice all that does is gives you more chance to shoot yourself in the foot. Realistically I never want to run project A's code in project B's environment or vice versa, and I certainly don't want to update project B's environment with project A's dependencies - combined with the fact that there's no way to undo a `pip install` command or recreate the previous state, you can permanently screw up your development environment by mixing up your terminals.

The Gnon-Fungible Token (GFT).
This implies the reason most sparsely seeded torrents have chunk availability is because the transient leechers just happen to arrive consistently in time to hand off to one another. I think reality is sparse torrents tend to be kept alive by a few seeders slowly kicking out data (most likely because they are seeding a ton of other stuff too). Sequential or not, if you and another guy are planning on dumping a few seconds after finishing the torrent then it doesn't really matter if that is a chunk near the end or a random chunk - either way you're both trying to squeeze the last chunk out of the seeder.

Densely seeded torrents may be slightly different and play out more like you describe, but it doesn't really matter as much there as the first parts can be sourced from those watching sequentially and the end parts left to those that actually seed after getting a full file.
Why not document it then? In a place where everyone can read it, instead of only developers.

Have you looked into GUIX?

I think it would be really interesting to load the init system (scheme-based GNU Shepherd in this case) directly from the kernel instead of ever loading a shell environment. I bet we could factor out a lot of cruft from the current GNU OS implementation that way, especially if you are managing your system environment/configuration declaratively via scheme/lisp.
I mean yea, you can discount anything by comparing things that are not alike.

One thing to note about Russia is it is not defensible in standard sense of it's hard to cross this river or mountain. This lead to Russia making distance it's defense. You go and capture a bunch of different peoples with no relations to each other and use them as a meat shield if anyone attacks. Meanwhile you want for the harsh winter to wear them out. But this also comes as a cost, you cannot allow any of these outlying territories to gain too much power or they could become a threat to Moscow, hence you tend to see a massive amount of Russia under developed and depopulated.

I have no evidence for the following outlook, but I'm depending on it: if you're educated, if you're skilled, if you're a motivated learner, and if you have a good attitude, then you're not unhireable. Rather, you're in a rather enviable, privileged position relative to society at large.

Maybe you won't find your dream job immediately, but my guess is you'll be fine in the big picture.
Also don't forget Fauci payed WIV to study bat coronaviruses. But since no document exists saying his money went directly to developing this particular coronavirus, we are supposed to take this as a nothing-burger.

> on most surfaces relevant passenger cars, ABS gives somewhat shorter stopping distances but the difference is minimal compared to a trained professional driver*

Hm. This [edit: the "shorter", which has now been corrected] doesn't fit my experience when I took advanced driver training years ago (I was a GM employee at the time). The training vehicles could have ABS enabled or disabled by a switch on the dashboard. The instructor first disabled ABS and had me practice threshold braking, until I reached the point where I could negotiate a setup with cones where you had to swerve left, then swerve back right, all while braking enough to not overshoot. I was able to do that several times with threshold braking after some practice.

Then the instructor turned the ABS on and had me try the cones again. I overshot every time.

Of course this was some 20 years ago, and more recent ABS systems might do better. But the SAE paper you refer to was even earlier.

Actually there was a big movement for crew launches in the 90s. This died becuase it was gone cost way to much.

In the last 2 years there has been a very big marketing campaign by various austronauts and people from ESA to push the idea of a commercial crew from Europe. You can find various article like 'Getting serious about crewed flight' and stuff like that. So there is defiantly a big movement within ESA and European space that want it. However the political will behind any of that has not been even remotely shown.

> ISS is slated to be decommissioned soon so what's the point in spending billions on it?

ISS wasn't slated for decommission when the Europeans decided to stop doing cargo.

And ISS will not be the last space station in human history.

Also I didn't suggest they should invest in crew.

> For cargo Ariane is in the shitpit yes but they're in good company with ULA etc. SpaceX caught the whole industry unprepared.

ESA used to have the ATV but it got to expensive for them. ULA never cared that much. As soon as cargo went commercial other defense contractors snatched it up and used their own rocket, see Cygnus and Antares . ULA is a pure launch company they wouldn't have anything to do with ISS cargo unless somebody booked the flight.

I finally got back into music this year because my kid started piano. I played guitar a ton throughout high school and my early 20's, did classical for a few years in there too. I could play almost anything, but I was terrible at writing so I sort of just stopped. I really wish I had had the infinite supply of composing videos that are so easy to come by now. I learned so much this year already in my "spare time", I feel like I could have been decent at it back when most of my time was spare.

Sounds good, until you try to find an anti-war media source that isn't labeled 'fringe'. Both liberal and conservative US media sources love war, and profit from it. Alternate views don't get a look in, not in politics, and not in media. The most graphic recent example of this might be the population's 65% support for a ceasefire in Gaza - completely unrepresented in media and the executive.

Pro-war media, corporate media, whether "liberal" or "conservative" both look rabid and bloodthirsty to the rest of the world. The NYT and WaPo, Fox ABC CNN CBS, even NPR have cheer-lead us into expensive atrocity after expensive atrocity.

Wikipedia have enabled them and censored dissenting views, openly, even clapping themselves on the back for it. They've red- and black-listed every anti-war outlet. "The last good place on the internet" my arse.

Yes. I know that Sci-Fi computers are always talked to, but imagine how that fired employee could bring down the company by shouting 'Computer. Format all disk drives!' as he gets walked out the door by Security.
