Good job!
I observed that you implemented many cuda kernels by yourselves. Just wondering your consideration or trade-off between implementating the kernels via pure CUDA code vs. implementing based on compiler like TVM/Triton.
Yes, and this does indeed happen. Turns out publishing such a thing makes people get in touch.

I'm trying to wrap my head around WTF is happening in my market. Median price this year is $100,000 above last year, and actual monthly sales are same as Oct 22, but half of Oct 21 (Oct being latest full month reporting). By all available data, there are plenty of buyers still, but inventory overall and DOM continues to climb. The weird part to me is that almost every house on market is overpriced - and not just "I feel the price should be lower" but as in, "OMG that would have been overpriced by $$$$$$$ even at the height of the market 18 months ago!" Like the best explanation I can come up with is that sellers feel like they missed out, so they are jacking up prices to absolutely ridiculous levels either out of hubris or desperation. It's a seriously weird time.
i get that it's more powerful but I almost consider it an anti-feature. I have very good tools for doing transformations (sed,awk,perl, etc etc) the problem is they all want line oriented format and JSON breaks that. So all I want is a tool to go from json => line oriented and I will do the rest with the vast library of experience I already have at transformations on the command line.
Every time I read 'rationalwiki' its just a bunch of personal drama about people the writers don't like. Never seen a single good article on there, it's just a bunch of circle jerking politics pretending to be a "rational wiki" like calling it the ministry of truth.
You can also use the ifdef-loader module to have code that is conditionally included in the output build, allowing you to have debug code not make it into prod builds. The `rc-dev-` license keys being a good example of that.
Smaller plots of land, also. UK family homes (at least until the 70s or so) tend to have large gardens, Dutch seem to have less private outdoor space but put more effort into making the street-scene nice in residential areas, which UK is terrible at.

On the flip-side, the Dutch attitude to their countryside (or let's say, non urban land) is pretty brutal outside of the national parks. There's not the fetishization of "country" living that you get in the UK.

Finder is a special beast, I think. It doesn’t seem to follow the same UX rules, possibly for legacy reasons. That’s no excuse, since it’s obviously one of the most used interfaces on Mac, but you’re right the UI is unintuitive by today’s standards. One of my favorite examples: when navigating folders with arrow keys, the enter key will rename the folder, and it takes a chord cmd-o to enter it. That’s not the best choice anymore, if it ever was.
They're building and deploying those boxes through the Amazon Hub program. There's no single-family size yet though.

My goal would be to "maximize prosperity for all". It could be better qualified and defined, but making sure honest hard-working people don't get screwed over and cheaters don't prosper.

I think the goal should be the goal, as the circumstances will continue to evolve. That is, the process should serve the people rather than the other way around.

Sorry, I'm just an old naive idealist and would like to cling to hope that we can move society forward in a positive direction.

My (uninformed) guess is that $200 M must to be the biggest gift by an order of magnitude, or maybe 2.

At least at a certain altitude, there's no sovereignty over airspace. Satellites have been passing over other countries since Sputnik.
1. I’ve already provided proof

2. It’s already a well known and accepted phenomenon

The burden of proof is still on you since you’re making a claim that goes against accepted facts, while NOT providing anything concrete to back it up.

Not quite sure how you found your way onto a tech forum without any understanding of what software development entails, but unlike carpentry, where every time you want a new wall the carpenter needs to go through the same process to make the wall, or in cooking, where every time I want a roasted turkey the cook needs to cook a turkey, software almost never does the same thing twice. If you find yourself doing the same thing twice, that's a tool problem.

That produces a much fatter tail distribution, because you're doing someone that no one has ever done before, and thus no one knows exactly how long it's going to take.

That doesn't really make sense to me. If we were lagging in SMS usage, it was almost certainly because of one or two factors (I can't read the article you linked, so not sure if this is in there):

1. SMSes were fairly expensive, and we had to pay per-message both to send and receive them.

2. Most people I knew (I was in college at the time) didn't even have cell phones (due to cost?). My dad even worked for Verizon, and he and my mom got them fairly late. I remember going on a trip to NYC in the summer of 2000, and my mom lent me her cell phone for emergencies. I didn't get my own cell phone until 2002.

I don't think I knew anyone with a pager at that point. My dad used to carry one for on-call notifications for his job in the 80s & 90s, but by 2000 he had the cell phone. The joke in my circles at that point was that pagers were for drug dealers. I know there was still heavy (non-drug-dealer) pager use in the US back then, though.

Without the ability to document and report on how food is actually made, consumers just can't make that determination on their own. In our post-truth world, "broccoli" can mean either "broccoli", or "processed broccoli food product."
> yes, but there's always some trail this way... travel logs, mailing logs, someone there to set it up, etc

All meaningless if you don't fly and use only cash, and a fake ID

> again, just easier to shoot someone... we don't need to make up imaginary drone violence, there's not much reason for it outside of a warzone

I didn't think it was easier than shooting someone. All of this stems from me saying it's only a matter of time until a psycho mounts a gun onto a drone and flies it over a crowd. We have a mass shooting once a week. Tech is easier and more accessible and only continues to be easier and more available. If soldiers are taking off the shelf drones and using them to easily kill people on the cheap, it's only a matter of time until instead of a box of ammo and trench coat, someone throws on a dji vr headset and flies a drone with either a gun on it or a bomb.

It's not imaginary

That's again assuming the system is making good recommendations for you. That's not what they're meant to do. A much better analogy is you go to the grocery store. The clerk knows you like apples and says "hey, I've got a bag of Johnny's apples here for $6", and pulls out a bag with a sticker that says "Johnny's" on it. Next person comes in, and the clerk offers them a bag of Dan's apples for $3.

The bags come from the same orchard. Same tree. You paid for a sticker. The clerk just knows you make enough money not to notice because they have a dossier on every person in town.
It's a statistically correct bias. That doesn't make it ethical for hiring.
100 sq meters is about 1000 sq ft, and that's definitely on the small side for a 3 bedroom. 150 at 1600 is much more "normal" even in the US (for apartments, houses are usually bigger now).

Ah, I think I get you now - you are talking more about issues of wealth or opportunity inequality, IE: structural problems, where perhaps the housing is really a symptom as much as a cause. It's a rubber-hits-the-road view of what's happening overall.
Let's zeroth-order a single GPT-4 query as using 0.01 kWh (which is probably massive overkill for most queries but we'll roll with it).

Let's high ball US residential electricity prices are about 25¢ per kWh. So 25¢ of electricity gets us 100 GPT-4 queries. $25 gets us 10_000.

Let's low ball average US developer salaries at a cool $100_000/yr. 50 40 hour weeks in a year makes 2_000 working hours makes $50 per hour. So with our very generous margins all working against us, a US developer would have to be making 20_000 GPT-4 queries an hour, or a little over 5 per second, in order to end up costing in electricity what he is making salary-wise.

I have no real point to this story except that electricity is much cheaper than most people have a useful frame of reference for. My mom used to complain about teenage me not running the dishwasher at full load until I worked out that the electricity and water together costed about 50¢ a run and offered her a clean $20 to offset my next 400 only three-quarters full runs.

I recently experienced something similar. My Macbook had its logic board replaced and, as part of that, the OS was wiped. I restored it from a Time Machine backup and spent too long digging through the settings to make sure the correct apps had accessibility permission or screen sharing permission or full disk permissions. It was annoying and the not the kind of polished experience you want from a premium product.
Funny you say that, as I just got back from an eye appointment and in my 50s also still have 20/20 vision (after more than 40 years of programming/staring at the screens).
I've never met Franklin Antonio, but for the ones that don't know, he co-founded Qualcomm, and I assume he made most of his money that way. He died last year, casue of death was uncertain. [0]

Wikipedia somehow separates him from the "original" seven founders, though: [1]

> Qualcomm was created in July 1985by seven former Linkabit employees led by Irwin Jacobs. Other co-founders included Andrew Viterbi, Franklin Antonio, Adelia Coffman, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gilhousen, and Harvey White.

It seems that he's been a long-time supporter of SETI.

Glad that this money will go towards scientific research.

EDIT: the source cited by Wikipedia [2] actually includes Franklin Antonio among the original seven founders:

> The company was founded in 1985 by seven communications industry veterans -- Franklin Antonio, Adelia Coffman, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gilhousen, Irwin Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi and Harvey White.

> Suggesting Bluetooth has some baked-in spyware is absolutely untrue; There's no baked-in spyware to the Bluetooth audio stack. The Bluetooth audio stack has no built-in way to enforce the app.

I never said that. If you actually read what I wrote, you'll see that I specifically mentioned that some do that, and that they require an app to pair or access special features. That is the opposite of saying the spyware is baked into the Bluetooth audio stack. Not to mention, there isn't just one stack, there are numerous different implementations. Either you're arguing in bad faith or you don't understand the technology and how an app could introduce spyware, or both. If you want to actually have a productive conversation, you need to stop the straw manning[1] and pearl clutching[2] and address the arguments (of which there several more that you're conveniently ignoring).

And the attempt at accusation in a mirror[3] of "extreme bias" further demonstrates bad faith on your part. I think it's best to just go our separate ways on this one.

Agreed. Not sure where GP got his idea that the first thing one installs would be Rectangle, or brew (do non-developers even need brew?).

This assumption is silly.
Every single public health official got up and told us that the mRNA shot prevented transmission. They had no science backing those claims.

I have a hard time believing you somehow missed fauci or Walenski or ALL of the mainstream media going on for months about the vaccine preventing transmission. There was even the famous Rachel Maddie “it stops, with every vaccinated person”.

So if public health officials didn’t believe it stopped transmission why attempt (and fail) to implement a mandate through OSHA?

How it is Apple fanboying? As far as I know, every phone already has SMS by default. On iPhone some messages goes throug by iMessage - but if other side has no iMessage it is sent as SMS. I do not need to ask them to download/register on iMessages. Everyone with WhatsApp is asking me to download the app.

Oh here's another one for you. I recently got into an argument with Bing. This is where everyone should start laughing. How stupid must one be to argue with an LLM? Especially when one tries to prove a point to an LLM, knowing that the LLM does not understand and simply predicts the next token. Yet, the urge to explain and correct the falsehood, for the sake of future conversation, persists. It's so irrational and superficial, knowing that the LLM cannot comprehend you, but still, you hold out hope...
If Texas wasn't aggressively anti-regulation they wouldn't constantly suffer from those problems all of which are caused directly by the lack of regulations that would have prevented them.

In your 17 years of experience were Texans demanding regulations to protect themselves, their environment, and their families? Were they refusing to elect officials who would allow corporations to exploit them?

I've worked for a few medium-sized non-profits that fund research. Getting lots of money once you're already established has no downsides. You probably already have a contingency plan for how to spend it, and if not you and your board establish a new process for calling for and approving projects. It's not rocket science (sorry - I don't want to appear dismissive of your post - I just couldn't resist that joke).
~6 floors is sometimes referred to as the goldilocks zone of building density. Treehugger has some good articles on it [1]. Horizontal navigation is much easier than vertical navigation (gravity and all that). Having a bunch of ~6 floor buildings next to each other makes for great walkability, while still allowing for ample daylight (and trees and whatnot), without attracing the windy conditions of all towers.

Just an anecdote, but for a few years I always skipped breakfast and had black coffee, and I did eventually develop some pretty severe heart burn issues. I went to tea for a while, back on coffee but usually eating breakfast again. I guess I’d just keep an eye on it and take action before it gets extremely painful, I’m not sure it’s guaranteed or anything.
Pretty much everyone gets exposure to contrary views, and they probably wouldn't seek out echo chambers for recreation if they didn't! Most people don't actually want to argue about politics when they vent on their social media, they want to engage with their friends, who probably feel similarly to them. There's no need to worry about these conversations being unbalanced any more than you worry about balance when line workers talk shit about managers and managers talk shit about employees. If people wanted balanced conversation, they would join a political debate forum rather than a social network that connects them to their real-life friends.
What privacy risks are there for using LLM models on rented GPUs?

Do cell phone network carriers even have any part on RCS messages? If I have no wifi and no mobile data but still have minutes and sms's no RCS message will ever leave my device, so I would say all of them will go though google servers, because if they can't reach google servers they will not even leave your phone to go anywhere. Such a beautiful mess. What's not to love about it?
