I have a tiny website. It’s a static site where I occasionally post things. I don’t have any trackers or ads.

Behemoths didn’t kill the open web. They created walled gardens which were more attractive to the 99% of people who aren’t interested in doing their own dev ops. Most people prefer to spend their time with their hobby rather than figure out how to set up a server or create ssh keys for GitHub pages.
> but you don't get to have petrol pipes, beer pipes or milkshake pipes laid to your property, neither you get to choose 160V DC or 430V 400Hz electricity

Sure you can have all of these. They're just not offered as part of normal utilities. Nobody will care if you build yourself some, except maybe for petrol pipes due to fire/explosion risk.
I've always kinda liked the ribbon, since it came out in 2007.

Traditionally, you get menus and the most important features doubled as rows of small icons. Icons lack text so if you can't find the one you want you need to hover them one by one; also they are not organized into clear named categories, and they all have the same importance. Menus are complete and organized, but not visual (it's just text, although in some programs they add small icons), and all features are given the same importance also.

The ribbon is exactly like a menu (complete and well organized by named categories), but in addition it's visual (you get large icons added to the text), and buttons are sized differently depending on their importance. Also it's collapsible.

The only drawback I can find is that if you know exactly what you want, it takes 2 clicks with the ribbon vs 1 click on an icon.
I look forward to the inevitable work of science fiction titled Latent Space.

The issue is that the block editor and classic editor have very different audiences.

In theory, the former is for the folks who'd use SquareSpace, Wix, etc. Non technical folks who want to customise everything in a 'user friendly' way and have absolute control over their site and its content.

Meanwhile the latter appeals more to agencies and large businesses, who have a bunch of users they want to only allow to post specific content/make specific changes, and a vision for what the site should be that they don't really want changed via random blocks and settings.

Gutenberg was meant to win over the former group and stop them going to SaaS based solutions, but ended up being a headache for the latter, which were arguably a bigger percentage of the folks using WordPress on a professional basis. Hence the ecosystem getting fractured like this.

> I’m not talking about CPU architecture here at all. I’m talking about Information Theory, which they absolutely should be taught, and Physics, which often enough is a requirement for graduation. At least at schools where CS is lumped into the college of engineering.

I would expect any reasonable reputable CS institution to have do this as part of their curriculum. It just is not relevant for the theory of Big-O. If you want to use some of that knowledge in practical applications, then it is relevant, but I expect graduates to be able to make that connection by themself. It is also part of advanced algorithmic theory anyway.

> Nobody has ever sorted strings in O(nlogn) time. Nobody has ever inserted String->Object mappings into a hash map in O(1) time. Stop lying to intellectuals. They either learn to distrust you or you break them if they don’t.

Big-O is not about "sorting in O(n log n) time", it's about the growth of the algorithm to do so as the input grows. It can obviously only hold as long as the assumptions hold, in this case that comparison is constant time. What that constant is, is of no importance for what you use Big-O for. I'd rather teach intellectuals what Big-O is (upper limit on growth when input size increases), rather than trying to get them to use it for something it isn't (measure runtime as input increases). It's in the very definition of the concept, and at least where I got my degree, it was drilled into our head "it's an upper bound, constants do not matter as the input grows sufficiently".

OpenAI removed the model from the API, apparently because it was too powerful.
Clang does support parallel stl already (requires either TBB or OpenMP).
Our project https://github.com/elalish/manifold made use of this to speed up mesh processing algorithms a lot.
Because there are an infinite number of half-breed data structures that you could think of to balance tradeoffs.

The STL has to restrict itself to somewhat stereotypical data structures that are intuitive to understand, yet can be composed to create such tailored data structures.

The crazy thing about this happening with toddlers (at least in my experience) is that you're not really sure how complex their desires are until they manage to communicate them.

Settlers interacting with natives knew full well how complex their desires were – they lived side-by-side, traded, socialised, and learned from each other.[1] Any suggestion of a primitive native is self-comforting propaganda from the industrial complex that comes after the settlers.

In my life, I declined or threw away roughly 50% of officially recommended antibiotics prescriptions from doctors and hospitals. Worst was the first doctor I visited regularily after moving out from my childhood home. Whenever I came to him with any sort of flu to get the necessary papers for staying away from work for a few days, he prescribed antibiotics for the slightest cough I might have. I played along for two or three iterations, until I noticed my overall health would actually get worse from taking antibiotics. So I started to simply drop his prescriptions into the bin, and go back to drinking tea and eating fruits to get better. I had similar experiences with other doctors later. Our health system is such that you can actually make your health worse if you always listen to everything your doctors say. Sad, but unfortunately true. This is in part because people are not willing to ride out an infection at home. They expect from their doc to give them something magicaal which at least shortens their recovery time down to a day or two at most. And doctors, having learnt that their customers are expecting this, basically force feed the remedies to everyone. These days, you have to explicitly declare that you'd prefer to get better mostly on your own...
Indeed, it’s an interesting topic and always makes me a bit uneasy to think about it. Especially as a technical person where there’s credentials, keys, wallets all over the place.

I wish more companies would think about that and solve this in some way. 1Password could for example print out some instructions and have a support number to call listed directly there for someone who finds this document.
This post is the perfect example of what (former US President) Obama calls a "false choice": Either cheap meat stuffed with antibiotics, or expensive meat with few-to-no antibiotics. There are other choices we can make in our society that are not 100% driven by economics.

Recall that the US (and many other highly industrialised, wealthy countries) had filthy environments in the 1960s. Then, the world awoke to environmentalism and a huge number of regulations were passed to clean-up. Few people are asking to go back to the pre-1960s environment. And, yes, following these new environmental rules is not cheap. It would be much cheaper to produce chemicals (and whatever else) if manufacturers could pollute like the 1950s.
Avalanche (AVAX) surged over 28% to reach a 15-month high of $22.68.
The surge in AVAX resulted from the Onyx and Apollo Global collaboration within Project Guardian.
The leading altcoin, Avalanche (AVAX), has soared by over 28% within the last 24 hours, reaching a high of $22.68, marking its peak in 15 months.

This significant resurgence in Avalanche’s price has been due to a recent collaboration announcement between Onyx by JPMorgan and Apollo Global. This collaboration falls within the framework of Project Guardian, aiming to integrate LayerZero Labs to connect Onyx with a permissioned Avalanche Evergreen Subnet. The objective is to streamline fund subscriptions and redemptions for WisdomTree Prime, indicating a significant stride in transforming the asset and wealth management industry.
> I think at this point we have to ask ourselves if we want these models or not, and who will have them.

I think this is the real question. Our culture and ways of life evolved through millennia, and the majority of its bits and pieces were not thought out for dealing with generative AIs. But a bit of thinking tells us that some generative AIs are detrimental to the most cherished aspect of human culture, like music, prose or graphical arts. Perhaps this time we should make an exception and "halt progress" so that we can save our musicians, graphical artists, and novelists. After all, they are our "culture makers", and without them, we are a vessel without a pilot.

In the same breath, I'm going to say that other applications of generative AIs may not deserve the same treatment. For example, if an AI puts out of a work architects, software engineers, medical doctors and so on, and in exchange we get cheaper housing, cheaper software, and eternal youth, then I may wholeheartedly support the AI.

There are other species that are effectively immortal. And those are natural things: with artificial treatments, it's certain that biological immortality could be achieved. Stars can be immortal too, if you make changes in them to replace their fuel, for instance.

Why do detractors always think that biological immortality shouldn't require some kind of external treatments occasionally, and then argue from that assumption? Most people don't expect their car to work forever without new fuel, maintenance, repairs, etc.
Yup, and if we correlate accelerometer values to the strength of prompt, it's perfect. Kicking the machine while yelling at it will produce the best result.
> Though for Ara2, given your other post, it sounds like it's really just a 512-bit vector processor that pretends to be 4096-bit, in which case, it can probably adapt to VL changes.

I think they use a larger register file to reduce sceduling overhead and memory latency.

> According to spec, vrgather must consider the full vector, regardless of VL. In other words, if your VLMAX is 4096b, so is your lookup table.

Interesting I didn't know that. I suppose large LMUL implementations would need to tag vector registers with their vl to make this work or take more cycles if it goes outside of a certain range.
The reddit post I linked to has a few different examples. As far as I can see only B triggered German.

Modern Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) is the standard road diesel in both the EU and USA since many years now. And with modern common-rail engines with electronically controlled direct injection, you no longer get the big black clouds of soot when you push down the pedal either (unless you're one of those "rolling coal" morons that mod their trucks to intentionally produce more of it). And further, modern diesel cars tend to have particulate filters and urea catalysts etc.

So all in all, a modern diesel is pretty clean. Not as good as a modern gasoline car, but still reasonably ok and massively better than old diesels.
I wish western political leaders would spend a bit more time learning from Taiwan instead of arguing about whether it is part of China, without even having set foot in any of the two.

Having lived a couple months in Taipei, my only complain really is the bloody ICE scooters. It boggles my mind that they didn't solve this problem yet. The air quality is absolutely horrendous, and you'll have trouble sleeping anywhere near a main road. It is even more shocking when we realise how convenient and efficient their electric counterparts are, Gogoro in particular is doing an amazing job [1]. It made me realise that we're doing something wrong in Europe by not including them as part of the solution for climate-friendly transportation.

The main thing I keep on raving about in Taiwan is the lack of urban sprawl: it's very difficult to find suburb-style detached homes even in the countryside, single-family homes exist but they are usually packed together in hamlets. It means that shops are always close because the settlements are dense enough for them to be viable businesses...

Have you tried prompting them differently? People are a bit like chatGPT and anchor weirdly.

My reason for phrasing the earlier comment that way, and also my guess for that doctors thought process, is that asking the relative risks per million of a saline injection and only when you get that answer following up by asking if any other injection is safer, would get you there, unless they were currently thinking about all the antivax conspiracies, and there's still a chance that just asking about saline injection would cause that thought process directly.

First and foremost it has to be their independent decision and nobody should be making such offers to a minor.

Secondy, huge risk to drop it now.

I've met people who either risked or dropped out of school to pursue a career(e.g. sports).

Most (if not all - we lost touch so I don't know) regretted the decision and in one instance rebelled against her parents wanting her to somehow juggle school and sport (which was serious at that point because she was part of the junior national team) and dropped out of the latter altogether, despite her parents wishes.

It won't hurt to wait those two years or so and instead hone those skills the same way they did all this time and just have a normal life before getting thrown in this high pressure environment that the world of 3D artists decidedly is.

Even though it's just two years, eighteen year olds on average handle many situations much better than sixteen year olds.
There are a lot of basic questions:

- How motivated is the student to learn the math? (Meaning "motivated to really work at it", not "it'd be cool to be good at this...".)

- How well prepared are they (in mathematics) for the material you're charged with teaching?

- Is the priority to ace the final exam, or to prepare them to go on in math?

- How (correctly) confident is the student in their ability to do well in math?

- How much time do both you and the student have, to devote to this?

> GraphCast makes forecasts at the high resolution of 0.25 degrees longitude/latitude (28km x 28km at the equator).

the resolution, while seemingly impressive, is very imprecise compared to the SOTA in the theoretical modelling side.

this discredits the computational claims made by the paper for me. i understand that the current simulations can go down to meter scale, but i wonder what the compuational requirements are when you calculate for this resolution.

> I do love more liberty with reality when it comes to [fantasy] movies

I have the same - probably because you know from experience that, e.g., someone taking the punishment that John Wick or Bourne does wouldn't be running around two minutes later but you have no frame of reference for, say, an 8ft goblin doing the same.

(Like the first episode of Slow Horses: there is no way a huge anti-terrorism training exercise across London stations wouldn't have every second of communications recorded for later examination and it made the whole premise of the show - that the fella is exiled because someone lied about what they said to him over those comms - nonsense to me.)

... Or much smaller, I remember a benchmark for a case I had a few years ago, the cutoff I had for a map being faster than std::vector/array & linear probing was closer to N=10 that 100.

(Not std::map, at the time it must have been something like tsl:: hopscotch_map).

Note also that nowadays for instance boost comes with state-of-the-art flat_map and flat_unordered_map which gives both the cache coherency for small sizes and the algorithmic characteristics of various kinds of maps

> no throttle valve, meaning there is no pumping loss at partial loads

I believe this effect is small compared to the alternative, which is that partial loads have dramatically excess air. That excess air isn't involved in the combustion, but still gets heated and pumped through the exhaust. That energy loss exceeds the pumping loss through a throttle on a part loaded engine.

Obviously the ideal case for both engine types is that you run it at a lower RPM whenever you need less power out. Unfortunately, that has other downsides (mostly slower response when you floor-it). Luckily, hybrid electric systems mitigate much of that downside by providing rapid response with electricity and allowing your engine to sit at 1000 rpm and 80% throttle in a super high gear while cruising 70mph on the freeway.
