I think the trick is keep generating the code from your configuration on regular basis, if not every build. Is what we used to do with generating code for our front-end based on entities in Java decade ago. With enough test coverage for testing correctness.
It seems to me the problem with that font is that the strokes are way too thick, making the "m" look like it's almost all ink, and it also seems that the lowercase characters are far too tall for their width.

If you use a normal stroke width (one that makes the empty space in the "m" as wide as the stroke) and width/height ratio for all characters, the problem naturally disappears, and in fact this is not a problem for instance in Linux terminals with the default fonts (normally DejaVu Sans Mono), where the characters look perfectly natural and fine.
Rebase conflicts are just the dual to merge conflicts. Instead of applying the end result of my work, I apply my work step by step. I don't see the final big picture, but move towards it.

This is of course a nightmare if the branch is long-running, because then it becomes easy to forget what I was thinking and doing when making the first few commits. But this is where organizing and crafting good commits (good commit messages are just the beginning), and frequent rebases on top of the source branch help.

Frequent rebasing also makes it possible to start working on a feature that depends on somebody else's in-progress work. It works best if the other person also frequently commits, publishes and rebases their work to keep the trouble with rebasing to a minimum.

Git serves many kinds of dealing with concurrent activities in other branches well. Maybe too well :-)
I feel that SCOTUS will have to put this Net Neutrality debate to a end one way or another. Even if it's voted upon, expect lawsuits and legal battles that eventually, the highest court will have to get involved and we'll know if it's allowed to stand, or closing the books on consumer protections for a generation.
> Because you disagree with the message doesn't change what the message is.

There's a difference between author-intended message, and message or messages received by the audience. La mort de l'auteur, and all.

> The point is that "life finds a way" is not something that can be overcome.

Hopefully not, because that take is bullshit. Of course you can overcome life finding a way. Were you ever vaccinated or took antibiotics? That's humans one-upping nature.

The point, if anything, is that you can't overcome nature once and for all[0]. You have to put in effort to stay ahead. It's kind of implied in what life is in the first place. Evolution through natural selection is an optimization system. A greedy, short-sighted, incredibly dumb optimization system, but it has scale on its side. Which is why we are, for example, dealing with "superbugs" now. Life found a way around some of our antibiotics[1]. But this doesn't mean antibiotics were a mistake. It means we need to do better, one-up life again. Say, with phages.

It's not hubris to realize we are smarter than dumb natural selection. It's not hubris to recognize we can win, and keep on winning.

> To think otherwise is pretty much the definition of hubris. And men with too much hubris clone a bunch of fucking dinosaurs and set them loose on the world.

Don't confuse hubris with hope or ambition. Or engineering.

Meanwhile, I'll take my antibiotics and phages and RNA vaccines and cars and computers and airplanes[2], and if someone actually gets around to cloning dinosaurs, I trust they'll have people on the team who know what interlocks are, or redundant power supply. Unlike in movies like Jurassic Park, there exist non-idiots in the real world, and we also have case studies and regulations governing handling dangerous animals and technologies.

[0] - Ignoring for a moment that humans are nature too, and everything we do is part of "life finds a way", too.

This, on the school level, trying to get enough air on the half pipe to make it into the secret room.
I think your math is also slightly off, in the Google article, it claims
“that is capable of achieving 10 exa-FLOPs (16-bit).” , so you should be comparing with 16 bit operations from a H100.

989 is TF32 core, for 16 bit it is 1979, so I guess around 5000 H100’s in a single training job would be equivalent to the training job mentioned in this article.

Either way I actually would not be surprised if OpenAI has launched a single job on more than 10k GPU’s, but I also am not very knowledgeable on practical scaling. Congrats on the feat!

Not for the universe, or even all the humans in the universe, sure. But for most shows I'm familiar with, Starfleet encompasses all of the main characters that the audience identifies with. And even though authority is often bucked for many reasons, that hierarchy is still in the background setting the interpretation of social interactions.

It's more PR talk and "victim" seems to be becoming more taboo as a descriptive term. I suppose "survivor" has a braver connotation in that they can overcome the trauma, while a "victim" cannot.

This is kind of hard to discuss since it seems like SBF didn't engage in EA "in good faith" and we can't really know if other billionaires are either. It does make it easy to discount EA because of the FTX debacle, but I guess if it was so easy to discount then maybe EA true believers weren't actually doing anything to offset that black eye.

More than anything it seems like billionaires are trying to convince us to let them hold future monopolies because we just should, ok?

>I think the best part of conservative philosophy is the skepticism that any small group of experts knows best or can direct the course of history for the long term

It's a double edged sword for sure. On one hand, if "conservatism" is about resisting change for the sake of change alone it can restrict our growth as a society. On the other hand, changing something on the basis of the newest group of "experts" deciding we should is something that DOES need pushback in many cases. It really just underscores how society needs all kinds of people coming to consensus to be functional.

As long as society attempts to come together and reach consensus on important things, I don't think we need to be saved by billionaires :)
It's implicit on a bribe that it's not just for the official to do its job.

> As detailed by today’s report, the agreement between Apple and Amazon includes a carveout that reduces the number of ads and recommendations that appear on product pages for Apple devices. While Amazon product pages are generally full of ads, sponsored results, and recommendations, Apple’s product pages show only one banner ad at the very bottom of the page.

> In contrast, product pages for Apple competitors like Samsung are riddled with ads from competitors, recommendations, and other sponsored banners. Insider says that other companies, including Samsung, have complained about the preferential treatment given to Apple.

Allocating a scare resource so that some people can use it multiple times while others can never use it isn't exactly democratic.
I don’t think you need lifetimes for the noalias optimization, because it’s a guarantee of &mut, every single one of them, not their exact lifetimes.

Also the slowness is not because of lifetime checking. `cargo check` is very fast compared to `cargo build`.
Because the bases are all wrong. Common number bases are 10, 16, maybe 8 if you live in the 70s, and 2.

Except for the utterly unwieldy binary, none of those bases adapt well to the bases used in representing time, which are mostly the (partially related) bases 60, 12, and, annoyingly, thirty-ish.

So you always end up doing opaque arithmetic instead of “just looking at the digits” (which you still can do in decimal for century vs years for example, because we defined centuries to be exactly that).
Oh, one counter example, kind of, is San Francisco main public library. Open stack, large, rich, and all that - but most sections don't get new books. So browsing the stacks is downright depressing: all you see is outdated books and often few of them. Browsing "What's new" is still good but the stacks are becoming useless.
I always assumed CR8 was used because (a) it prevents access outside 64-bit mode, and (b) being the creators of 64-bit mode, there's a guarantee Intel has no plans of using such a register for something else.

We think, often, how and as we speak.. as we debate. Now that the conversation, the debate has become.. what it is, I think it really does affect how and what we think. That (garbage) mode of debating is now a major mode of thinking.

It might be nice for reading code, but for editing code it feels weird that glyphs change their size while you type.

Also readability wise I'm not convinced. In the example there is a combination like "_m_", in this case the lette m is much nicer to read. But then i typed "mml", which makes the two m's very different looking. Also the line number 10 on top of 11 looks weird.

I've worked for a number of enterprise companies. All have moved to Kubernetes.

And it's not just geekery by developers who aren't as smart as you.

It's because it allows you to treat all of your infrastructure in one way. Whether you are on GCP, AWS or On-Premise, whether you use Java, Spark, Web Serving or ML Training, whether you are deploying direct to Production or go through multiple staging environments etc. It is always one way of deploying things, one way of securing things, one way of doing everything.

It is far cheaper, easier, more secure and less risky than managing infrastructure yourself. And believe me we all tried that.
Just out of curiosity, can you check the time for the same project with a more recent toolchain?
Dorsia is fine for what it is, but doesn't really solve the problem at hand. High rollers can always find a reservation regardless of scarcity, and similar services like Amex Concierge have existed for a long time now. Restaurants however also have to care about the other 99% of their clientele.

Thanks for the context. I remember recently reading a paper from I think Baidu where they claimed to have a container arrival rate in the millions per second, consequently it was practical to operate their whole site in the style of lambda/cloud functions.

Actually now that I am searching for that it seems Baidu has a number of papers on workload orchestration at scale specifically for learning.

It sounds like Apple was upset about the counterfeit products being sold on Amazon and, after issuing hundreds of thousands of takedown notices threatened to sue Amazon themselves and reached an agreement where Amazon took measures to eliminate the counterfeits.

The knock seems to be that they only did this for Apple products, not counterfeits of say Samsung phones because they were not pressured in similar ways by Samsung.

I use Cloudflare's DoH DNS (https://1.1.1.1) and tunnel that over Mullvad's VPN.

That way Mullvad can only see the IPs I visit, Cloudflare only see DNS requests coming from the VPN IP, and my ISP sees nothing.

Mullvad's DoH DNS seems nice, but it provides potentially less privacy than the above, so I won't be using it.

The US and the USSR never banned them. Most of the world did so they could claim moral clout, but make no mistake, if the shooting started they'd be buying them from one side or the other like crazy.

As former USSR countries, UKR and RUS never agreed to ban them. Same for cluster munitions. And we're seeing just how brutally effective both are.
But these kinds of things also seem to follow a tech playbook, cheap parts show up, lots of hobbyist, small companies, etc start using them in low volume applications. They work out the bugs, and the newer competitors parts keep getting better. The existing big company doesn't care because, as someone else pointed out they are maintaining a stable volume/revenue.

Only, in the tech industry that's almost always a bad sign, the competitors are winning new designs that haven't yet really started to ramp, while the existing vendor is coasting on the current device using their parts. Then what happens is they get stuck in a declining revenue/volume situation while the newer cheaper better competitor slowly eats the market, and at that point investing in a "dying" product just about never happens.

None of that is true. You are making things up.
For that matter, even when you're living in a cyberpunk dystopia it's still in a sense a matter of perspective (if you go by the textbook definition of a dystopia as a terrible place to live). This was really driven home to me when visiting Shanghai. Americans of course hear about the sweatshops, industrial espionage, oppression of ethnic minorities, and conflicts over disputed territory. But if you're a welcomed moderately upper-middle-class visitor in Shanghai and thus don't really see any of that, it's a really nice place to visit (except for the heat and smog, and probably not during a global pandemic). Not unlike how San Francisco is a lovely city as long as you avoid certain areas.

On the other hand, I think you can still overall call such places dystopias due to high disparity in available opportunity which goes hand in hand with all kinds of problems in society at large.

I wonder if those users could learn SQL+Jinja2+a few spreadsheet-like helper functions to use in the templates?

Zero code GUI only config is my favorite way to do things, but after that I'm not sure why you'd want to not just jump straight to a mainstream language that people can Google.

> Also strange is how caring about the future is dastardly 'longtermism'...

I think you misunderstood. The dastardly thing isn't caring about the future, it's using your supposed care about the future to neglect and damage the present. And that care isn't really care, it's just working to implement some perhaps unrealizable sci-fi fantasy.
Indeed! I suppose I actually meant f(number of reports) because I didn't actually think the scaling through.

This is always the approach in our industry. During the land rush, you offer very affordable, very favorable terms for people building on your stack.

When they've wiped out most of the competition and have massive marketshare -- they shift from land-rush mode to rent-seeking mode, and your business is either dead entirely or you now live as a sharecropper.
The economics, range, and flexibility of a nominal bomb carrier are vastly better than disposable and especially hypersonic delivery platforms. You also have to understand US military doctrine. Platforms like the B-21 are designed to deliver autonomous swarms of stealthy, networked, long-range weapons that can cooperate with each other and adapt to their environment. In this sense, the B-21 is as much a control plane and orchestrator as it is a delivery system.

For offensive systems, the US prefers slower, stealthier missiles rather than hypersonic missiles. While hypersonic missiles arrive on target faster, they have serious deficiencies in terms of precision, terminal guidance, range, and payload size. Consequently, the US has had hypersonic missiles for several decades but relegated them almost exclusively to defensive systems where those limitations matter much less because the target is coming to you. This is an option somewhat unique to the US due to their qualitative advantages in stealth and electronic systems, which they lean into heavily.

The US 6th generation platforms, like the B-21, are all designed to support unmanned operation, the pilot is optional. In a near peer conflict, communication channels may be severely degraded such that having a person in the seat will have value.
NAT is not a firewall. It's not actively blocking anything, rather it's actively forwarding things. If NAT drops the ball in various ways, the router still doesn't know to send dst=71.177.17.171 to my PC on 192.168.1.2 vs another one. I mean sure a NAT could intentionally pick my local IP as the lucky winner of every inbound packet, but how does that happen on accident.
