I could really use some advice for making some deep learning hardware purchases for my university lab.

It has been a pretty painful experience speaking to the companies due to shortages and because of all the limitations of non-H100 chips. For getting a machine with 4 H100s and NVLINK, I was told I'd have to wait one year. With that long of a wait, I might as well wait for the next generation. Without NVLINK, I could potentially get this machine sooner. I struggled to find any reports of the additional complexities and how much slower the machine would be.

I'm basically looking to buy two machines. One for under $40K and one for up to $100K. The $100K machine is intended for training LLMs, and the other would have multiple GPUs where the other would just have a bunch of GPUs for my PhD students to use. For the $40K machine, I'm being told by companies I could only put in 2-3 L40S cards, and they are really pushing these as the only viable option.

In contrast, the last time I had $40K for hardware I got two machines with 4 RTX A5000s and companies were a lot more responsive and seemed more helpful. It is unlikely that I'll have $100K for hardware again, so I'm very reluctant to go with cloud computing since that decreases my hardware budget and I need these to last 3+ years.

I wish I could go with 4090s, but the limited VRAM and that NVIDIA has disabled functionality needed for multi-GPU training makes that pretty much a non-starter.
● EU Radio Equipment Directive, EU Cyber Resilience Act: Sorta product legislation, put requirements on hardware and software

● EU NIS2, EU Cyber Solidarity Act, DORA: Rules on services, continuity,
preparedness

● GDPR: Rules on data

● Renewed Product Liability Directive: pay up for broken software

I think that making companies pay up for broken software is a nifty idea. Less code, but better quality, is what we all want, no? I don't care for all the new stuff in IOS 17 and Sonoma, I just mostly wish all the bugs were gone.

I guess that the definition of “bug” needs to be ironed out. Is this an undocumented feature? Or really a bug?
Well, I would say that when people at the moment say agent they mean what you call autonomous agent. Browsing or code interpreter is just LLM + tool use. I think there is a really large difference in quality between a system that just interacts 1-2 times with some tool/API before giving an answer and one that runs in a loop with undefined length (until it decides to terminate). It's like the difference between programming without loops or recursion vs with them. Night and day.
Getting out of my current flat / apartment as I'm getting serious noise pollution from above and to the left of me, and it's really affecting my mental health. Not had a proper night's sleep since the new upstairs neighbour moved in, around June/July, and this extra sensory overload has removed my ability to ignore the sub-bass coming from the left of me.

Last week there was a guy in social housing who killed himself after similar, and since then my social housing manager has been in touch to look at doing something - sad that it takes a death before someone investigates.
It's an assumption, in light of which you interpret information. It's really puzzling, why Americans so zealously trust everything - MSM, politicians, advertisements, corporations, economists, youtube, shitty software, ecelebs, everything.
Yeah but we also overestimate that because when you trace all the references back you come to a dubious statistic formed from someone predisposed to the position.

"The post-liberal right and post-liberal left are much closer to each other than many people realise. Both are intolerant; both prioritise the power of the state over individual liberty. They “see each other as mortal enemies”, but “feed on each other”, Mr Mounk warns."

Absolutely anybody is employable in software. This deeply buried comment was still upvoted 20 times: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37966978

All you have to do is pass an interview. Now by far the greatest challenge to attaining software employment is surviving resume death in order to make it to an interview. This has taught me a few things about hiring this year:

* Get out of software. Ideally this means get into management but can also mean sliding into something else laterally like project management.

* Or, be happy being a permanent beginner with elevated titles to compensate for years of service with no innovation, initiative, or real technical growth because all you do is chase trends and use tools.

* If you want to stand out don’t be awesome. Things like superior competence are great for becoming an entrepreneur but not for employment. Just be smart enough and experienced enough to talk through an interview. If you do want to stand out AND be employable then have something other developers don’t have like a security clearance and/or professional certifications.

What is even the difference between Tuta and Proton?
My bet is regardless of any initial good intentions, since BlueSky is a company, market pressures will inevitably force them into dark patterns like we see on every other commercial social network (going back to the early days of the companies, Facebook, Twitter, and even Google looked really good early on until all were corrupted by profit motive). My belief is that the profit motive is necessarily at odds with free communication.

To me, the ActivityPub network (Mastodon and friends) is relatively unique in the social media space in having no direct commercial pressures (the protocol is developed by W3C) and therefore being inoculated against the causes for these dark patterns.
Sure! The first thing I did was follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7i4amO_zaE

This is ThePrimeagen's 0 to LSP, Neovim RC from Scratch. In this video he performs a clean installation of Neovim and goes step by step adding the things he considers essential. This was very important for me to acquaint myself with how things work, how to install plugins, how to define custom key maps. I remember the first times I tried using Vim, I couldn't figure out how to get Nerdtree to work. This video made me realize I just lacked the knowledge of how Vim config works.

This video was such a good start because It provided me with the tools to continue my exploration of Vim autonomously. In a week I was already able to install new plugins and tweak them using Lua config files the way I specifically wanted. It's such a cool experience!

Keep in mind that both the author of this video and I use Neovim, which is a fork of Vim. As a text editor they both function essentially the same. The difference lies on the config files and in broader UI capabilities by Neovim. While Vim uses Vimscript, Neovim prefers Lua, although Neovim is fully backwards compatible, so you can choose to use Vimscript for your configuration if you want as well. This also means that Vim plugins just work with Neovim!

The docs are also a huge source of knowledge for me. In the beginning I resorted to :help key-codes a lot when defining key mappings.

To learn the Vim motions, which is the most challenging part of using Vim, I suggest you find a cheatsheet online and refer to it all the time. One very cool plugin that will help you get comfortable with Vim motions is ThePrimeagen's VimBeGod: https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/vim-be-good. It's a set of game-like exercises to practice the motions. This is also pretty cool and helped a lot: https://vimsnake.com/. It's a classic snake game where instead of using arrow keys, you use HJKL. And speaking of arrow keys, one thing I did very early on was disabling them (or, in reality, remapping them to noop) in normal mode so I was forced to move around the text using Vim Motions.

At first you will get frustrated because your brain will need some time to rewire in a way to absorb all the new abstractions Vim presents. It's a whole new logic of editing text. The most important thing is to stick to it and you will be surprised with how fast you end up picking things up. Of course, don't expect to be crazy fast in a few weeks. But right now, after a little over a month, I no longer feel that discomfort using Vim anymore. I suppose I'd still be faster on VS Code, but I really want to master Vim, so I'm sticking with it and I feel a constant improvement.
Never saw a Java developer ship things fast.

Your idea does make sense. I'll try to see if I can tweak the BBR parameters on my server and achieve better performance.
There are several different options

1. Don't. Just include the correct configuration as part of the OS.

2. For a configuration file use a group for passing out write access to users on the system.

3. Have a daemon which handles updating configuration files based off some central source of truth which pushes changes to a fleet of servers. Programs could directly communicate with this daemon to get their configuration.

I've been running for 12+ years and after going through plantar fasciitis and some other issues (went to a very good orthopedic sports clinic that helped me a lot), getting a Theragun and using it every day was amazing afterwards, especially for calves (that can help with achilles tendonitis) and for your foot for plantar fasciitis).
This is a really cool little project!

I think projects like this, as well as Disney's recent incredible robots (e.g. https://youtu.be/-cfIm06tcfA?si=D3SKsNekOaDQFeVU) mean it's just a matter of time until we have pretty real, embodied robots in people's homes. There will probably be some viral videos about that, and I imagine some company that can sell at an attractive price is going to make a lot of money one day.
This could not possibly have been a surprise to anyone.
I don't know about nostr, but I find it is a lot less active than Mastodon. In general the tech accounts I am interested in have moved to Mastodon rather than bluesky. I imagine this would depend on whose activity you are interested in, and where they have chosen to migrate to

The name ‘Zeus’ is derived from ancient Indo-European god of the sky ‘Dyḗus ph₂tḗr’ from the days when they were still living in the steppe (Jupyter has the same etymology). While the Minoans weren’t Indo-European (of course it’s very likely that the Greek Zeus just like most of their gods were an amalgamation of local pre Indo European, Middle eastern etc. deities)

Slightly related: is Bluesky moderated good enough or do I get lots of rightwing and conspiracy crap like on twitter currently?

I‘d really love to have some more civilized hub again that isn’t full of hate and anti-intellectualism.
The main ones for me:

- (To my knowledge) Tuta doesn't have secondary services like VPN, etc.

- Tuta intentionally does not provide a bridge for email. So everything with their service has to be done through their apps. If you want to use your own email client or command line tools (such as for submitting patchsets to mailing lists), that's not an option.
You mean PR edits? Yes, for small touchups, certainly. Anything that makes the life of maintainers easier. I'm talking about changes that requires maintainers to check out code. You shouldn't feel you have to do that, and if there are many PRs, you shouldn't feel you have the time to do so.

I did an MBA which I finished about a year ago. I think the digital/tech related courses I did were interesting and relevant (I did them as electives). Strategy was actually awesome, but no one seems to hire junior strategist (and I have no practical strategy experience and unsure how to pursue that). Finance seemed less relevant to me because computers can do a lot of the work… and I have no interest in working in any area of finance. Leadership/organisation was interesting from a psychology perspective - I wanted to learn more about that stuff, so I have ended up pursuing psychology instead. So the MBA has been almost entirely useless for my actual career which is in a niche area of healthcare where clinical work intersects with technology.
But it was an interesting experience, and people without MBA’s think it’s impressive though myself and others with MBA’s know that it’s actually really not.
I was thinking the same. CRTs pull a lot of power, and everything is just exposed and crammed together. I'm sacred.
Show HN: Patterns – Habit Tracker App
Hi everyone

I'm a Notion-addicted person and love to build my own template to cover different aspects of my life, either work or personal stuff. Once, I wanted to build a habit tracker template, and I realized Notion was not the best solution. You can organize it in a much more efficient way just with a pen and a piece of paper. However, the best tool should live on your devices and have a correct structure. Then, I decided to try to build an app using SwiftUI and SwiftData.

The goal was to make it a very basic version in one month. But it took me two months. I tried to add only the core features for MVP and see if it works for others. On Twitter, it already received some love, and I'm very excited to share the app here to get even more feedback.

Let me know what you think

As a Swede this really rolls of the tongue. Tuta punkt com. Very easy to recommend to an elderly relative for example.

Now just make sure that elderly relative can sign up once they get to the landing page.
I think it is still too small and people seem quite nice there. But, that has its drawbacks, as I keep returning to Twitter due to the slow migration in the recent months.

It is a shame, as it seems like a nice alternative that has some cool ideas.

With no guarantee of compliance, nor guarantee of a backdoor not being added to this service - it’s hard to put Tuta ahead of any other supposed privacy-first provider. They didn’t pull a TPB and tell the court to get fucked, and exit the country. So it’s hard to assume they’ll ever not comply with a backdoor order.

So instead I’ll opt for the one least likely to go under, with the most features. And it’s not Tuta.

I've been on and off trying to implement automated template matching OCR for DVD subtitles. Picking it up once again.

I don't think it's so fine. I doubt the WeWork guy has (materially) lied to the investors, unlike the FTX guy. I remember him saying that he's building a "physical social network", and everyone seemed in on the game of pretending that this is the hottest thing since the Manhattan project. I.e. WeWork was more like trading shitcoins that don't even promise anything, whereas FTX just robbed people of shitcoins.

The problem is that using your own sources of news only works if you understand why news is being distorted in the first place. There is no automatic reason why an identifiable individual on the ground is more trustworthy than any other news source unless you have better metadata about what they say. Otherwise it's just "CNN = voice of imperialism, person with 10K followers = voice of freedom"

There is a thousand year gap between that and:

In reality they were almost certainly entirely unconnected. There is no way that by the time the Greeks conquered the region during Alexander’s time they would considered Philistines to be “Greek” in any discernible way.
