I think you're right on about explainability and unexpected handling of corner cases - but I think one of the lessons from GOFAI is that handcrafted algorithms might look good in a lab, but rarely handle real-world complexity well at all. Folks worked for decades to try to make systems that did even a tiny fraction of what chatgpt or SD do and basically all failed.

For safety stuff, justice-related decision-making, etc I think explainability is critical, but on the other hand for something like "match doodle to controlled vocabulary of shapes" (and tons of other very-simple-for-humans-but-annoyingly-hard-for-computers problems), why not just use the tiny model?

Maybe if we get really good at making ML models we can make models that invent comprehensible algorithms that solve complex problems and can be tweaked by hand. Maybe if we discover that a problem can be reasonably well solved by a very tiny model, that's a good indication that there is in fact a decent algorithm for solving that problem (and it's worth trying to find the human-comprehensible algorithm).
Oh, that of course. I'm not in the "showing off jewelry" nor the "speculating with Rolex" business. I was talking more to the "but diamonds are also an investment" side. I'm more into technique and curiosity and I'm more than delighted by my Casio, Seiko, Vostok... I even have a fake Omega too :)

I find devices as your magnetron quite interesting, BTW.
What are you referencing? Everywhere it's installed officers find usefulness in triangulating where shots are popped off.

The alternative is an extensive investigation which is difficult to determine the location, if not impossible.

I don't mind these shot spotters being installed vs CCTVs as the microphones are really just tuned for gunshots and can only serve one purpose (in the current form)
Guess you could do a reverse "lady's night" and only charge women instead of the inverse.
Using shotspotter to dispatch them would be a limit on the way video surveillance is done now, which is to just leave them in fixed locations to record 24/7.

When it comes to gains and profits, the shareholders are supposed to benefit. When it comes to losses and difficulties, the employees are supposed to 'do their part' and shoulder them.
The naming scheme goes back to at least 2004 (Curie), and Wikipedia has done the service of alphabetizing it for us: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponyms_of_Nvidia_GP...

Also, it occurred to me that Nvidia does sometimes increment the die to 200 (EG GM200, as the Maxwell 100 series was a single small oddball die). Its possible that they "refreshed" the GH100 die and are codenaming it GH200.
This may be a naive question, but all the metrics seem to be for inference. Should we expect similar gains on training?
Well, from everything I've seen, without the fine tuning then the output will not be 'human' enough.

Or to put this another way... The 'role' may be more that of Legion in the biblical sense. Depending on the exact question asked hints of particular human characteristics show up, but there is a multitude of different ones and the model would seemingly randomly express them per question.
No, it is not. Page 6 has the breakdown for operating expenses, which probably means it was for compensation to employees.

There is no reason to incorporate distributions to shareholders on an income statement. The whole point is to figure out how profitable the business is, and how much is left for the shareholders.

Which https proxy you're referring to? HTTP proxies capable of forwarding HTTPS just offer HTTP CONNECT method, which allows client to tunnel regular TCP connection and HTTPS inside it. These proxies do not do anything with certificates.
With the massive caveat that I'm not a web developer or react developer, doesn't this stuff just look XML? I know html is a subset of XML but this stuff looks more and more like the XML that everyone complains about.

This seems like more of an issue with working with an external client than with working remotely. Within a company you can generally just ping someone on slack (or whatever messaging your company uses) for a quick 5-minute video call. For colleagues I work closely with, I will also just call them unannounced.

The latter could potentially work with external clients (perhaps using their actual phone number rather than a video call) if it was arranged in advance. i.e. you have a kick-off meeting where you discuss how much contact the client wants and what kinds of questions should lead to immediate communication vs. slower async communication.
How should developers respond to AI?
Are you in Germany?
True.

But I feel well entertained watching them fall. Like using them and experimenting around.

But it also shows the road ahead quite clear. For example were is the money coming from? From millions of people paying for GitHub copilot for example.

How is it sold? Per webui, API and cloud providers.

Digital twin will also play a huge role in this as a bridge between AGI <> real world.
If they were allowed to get significantly ahead that status quo would likely be disrupted pretty fast.
Maybe it would help to explain how you would feel. I would get a good chuckle at recalling this particular memory.

Was invited to interview at Bridgewater 10 years ago and the HR person said the interviews are recorded via video. I noped TF out of that fast.
I surmise that such a strategy would essentially hand their market share over to AMD on a silver platter.
Did they? I thought there are just russian troops(with nukes)stationed there.
Yes - I can see why that particular comparison makes sense. However, not sure if that was the standard (or even most common) way of using jQuery whereas with HTMX it's pretty much the only option you have?
how would you do pattern matching without computations?

I think anything that could be described through logic gates or turning machines would be a "computation". And any object or organ that processes information would be a "computer "

I support open source alternatives to H.265, which is fairly advantageous.

I don't think governments are good at regulating technical standards for industry.

And so this is a wash.
As I understand, the main limitation is the speed of human response after the fact and the limited number of officers that make false positives costly to respond to. Criminals don't tend to stick around at the scene of a shooting, and you don't necessarily want to waste a bunch of officers responding to bad data.

The vast majority of work in ML isn't people working with CUDA directly - people use open source frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow to define a network and train it, and all the frameworks support CUDA as a backend.

Other backends are also available, such as CPU-only training. And you can export networks in reasonably-standard formats.

nvidia's moat is much more mature framework support than AMD's cards; widespread popularity due to that good framework support, ensuring everyone develops on nvidia, thus maintaining their support lead; much faster performance than CPU-only training; and a price that, though high, is a lot less than an ML developer's salary.

If you need 24GB of vram and nvidia offers that for $1600 while AMD offers it for $1300, how many compatibility problems do you want to deal with to save a single day's wages?

But nvidia's moat is far from guaranteed. Huge users like OpenAI and Facebook might find improving AMD support pays for itself.
Author here, thanks for writing this thoughtful comment.

1. I agree, during debate, put the offense monster to the side.

2. In an effort to spare words, I compressed the Galileo story into something that missed important details. My bad. My understanding of the saga was that many members of the Church did engage with good faith in the emerging science of the time. What happened was mostly a political spat (though I still think there was an element of "offense" involved).
They also had a test site in the Kalahari desert. The plan was to detonate a nuclear weapon within the territory of South Africa in case they where threatened by communist Angola, to show that they had and was serious about using nuclear weapons. The idea was that this would force Western powers to intervene on the side of South Africa, to avoid nuclear weapons being used against Angola.

There is a great book detailing the nuclear program in South Africa: https://www.amazon.com/South-Africas-Weapons-Mass-Destructio...
It makes perfect sense that the world's largest producer of pistachios and almonds uses a lot of water.

What doesn't make sense is using water to grow lower-value crops like alfalfa for cattle to eat in the California and Arizona desert.

But, I'm not an agricultural expert. The point is that when we are running short of water, we should raise the price for it, and let the market decide. Right now normal people pay far more for water in California than agricultural users. Stop distorting this market, move the agricultural price of water even just a bit closer to the residential price, and the water shortage will go away as the most wasteful farms change their ways.
If they keep screwing up the company, that stock may not be worth much.
But we already do.

> So you can eliminate temporaries at compile time.

Eliminating temporaries in C++ is also done in compile-time through expression templates or more generally through TMP.

I'm pretty sure Rust type system is incapable to express many (?) of the TMP things from C++ - it does not even support partial specializations to begin with so it's hard to imagine that you can do a lot of TMP gymnastics. I think that this is an area where it is generally accepted that Rust is lacking against C++.

> The causes of the housing supply crisis are widely understood. After the Great Recession, new home construction dropped like a stone. Fewer new homes were built in the 10 years ended 2018 than in any decade since the 1960s. By 2019, a good estimate of the shortage of housing units for sale or rent was 3.8 million. The pandemic-induced materials and labor shortage exacerbated the trend, however, as evidenced by the surge in rents and home prices in 2021.
Realistically as the price of this technology goes down and as crime continues to exist, the only actual safeguards against ubiquitous surveillance will be laws. There's no reason you couldn't have the system proposed and have extremely strong laws around the use and retention of the acquired video, e.g. the captured video can only be used in cases against the people who triggered the initial activation.

Inconvenient but there's literally no other way for this to go. Laws are our only hope -- technology will continue on its march.
The “global consensus” is decided by doctors who have a vested interest in claiming that any negative rise in mental health outcomes is a victory because it shows better mental health awareness, rather than a failure and showing that contemporary medicine is either ineffective or actively harmful.

Relying on the “global consensus” here is a fox guarding henhouse situation. In any case, nobody has any real evidence as to what could be causing this effect, only conjecture.
Does HTML kinda look like XML? Yes.
> So who has lost, what value needs to be recovered?

Does there have to be loss? If you throw away a phone containing your nudes and I recover it, can I leak them? By your logic yes because nothing was lost, you didn't want them. Sometimes it's not as simple as you wanting to keep something or not, you should also have the right to decide that something you created should not exist.

I'm asking why Nvidia doesn't maximize their profits by retaining the hardware and selling compute. They could capture the market from those other providers if they sold more FLOPS/kilowatt (or whatever metric is used). Compared to manufacturing GPUs/TPUs, running a datacenter (especially one that specializes in Nvidia hw) would seem to be a trivial task.

It should be different. The more abstract it gets, the less patentable it should be. Algorithms are more abstract than machines.
Err equity compensation is not taxed as capital gains unless there's growth.

Depending on how things are structured you pay taxes at different times but the value at grant is taxable as ordinary income. The only taxability difference is what to do with growth between grant and vest (and depends on when you pay the grant value's taxes).

This is a common misunderstanding and sometimes causes people working at big companies to hold onto their RSUs needlessly even though they've already been taxed as ordinary income. In the RSU case you can't elect for different treatment on grant-vest gains, and it's very unclear if you would even want to.

Dalio is pro-China or rather, a representative of the mainstream of other business leaders who are also pro-normal-relations-with-China. But he is not as politically connected as some of the other business leaders who are pro-China. So, he is a political target of convenience for various interests that want to rattle the saber at China. The foreign policy media is more or less directly controlled by some mixture of the intelligence agencies, the military, and the State Department, so things like this are an indirect attempt to apply discipline.

Worth pointing out here that Lee Kuan Yew is perhaps the most widely praised leader of his generation. I read a book about him a couple years ago that was prefaced with endorsements from every president going back to Carter, every major Sec. of State, and so on and so forth. Trying to portray praise of Lee Kuan Yew as unhinged is itself unhinged.
WebGPU currently doesn't support the "bindless" resource access model (see: https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/380).

The "max number of sampled texture per shader stage" is a runtime device limit, and the minimal value for that seems to be 16. So texture atlasses are still a thing in WebGPU.

WebGPU has render bundles, which allow to pre-record command sequences, but even with that you don't want to change resource bindings thousands of times per frame (or even hundreds of times).

It might make sense though to build texture atlases dynamically (basically use one very big texture as "tile cache") and update that via writeTexture() calls (just don't rebuild the entire atlas each frame).
SHA-256 has the advantage that it is used for BitCoin. It is the biggest bug bounty of all time. There see literally billions riding on the security of SHA-256.
We use web components in our project (a reactive Python notebook that, among other things, lets users build simple web apps [1]) to make it easy for the user to instantiate and compose our UI elements. Users can easily interpolate these elements into markdown, for example, since their representation is just HTML.

Consider the approach this article suggests.

You want to have the tags and content appear in the web component (not rendered by JS) which makes it easily and immediately available to crawlers.

> The issue is that the definition of `fd_set` has a constant size

I'm well aware.

> If you allocate the memory yourself, the select() system call will work with as many file descriptors as you care to pass to it.

I'm aware of this, as well.

That the kernel interface is more flexible is fine. But the glibc wrapper could sanity-check its arguments.

If you're saying the glibc wrapper also is flexible (assuming one allocs their own fd_sets and … somehow that doesn't run afoul of strict aliasing…?) … and thus, to allow that backbreaking exercise of "you can still use it for all its other bugs" cannot sanity check its arguments (because nfds > the FD set size is permitted) … well … good grief.
I don't really understand their portfolio at all.

The <datalist> element with a text input field is an HTML native typeahead, which works great with SSR or you could wire up the datalist client side with an XHR creating the datalist.

Show HN: Unify-jdocs has come a long way
Unify-jdocs is a Java JSON manipulation library which completely eliminates the need for model / POJO classes. Any read or write of a JSON path can be done in a single line of Java code. It also can be used to eliminate the use of JSON schema as it has features to validate both the structure and values in a JSON document.

We announced the first release of unify-jdocs on HN back in August 2020. Since then, unify-jdocs has had multiple feature enhancements and has been used extensively within American Express as part of the project it was developed for. We have had tremendous success with it and have been able to reduce the size of our codebase substantially, make it much easier for developers and improving maintainability and agility significantly. In the process, the API of unify-jdocs has been invoked billons of times and demonstrated great reliability in production. The original post can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24332382.

My reason for posting again is to continue promoting unify-jdocs. This kind of a JSON manipulation library, in my opinion, does not exist elsewhere. Unify-jdocs makes life simpler for any Java development project that works with JSON documents. While I can understand that for projects that deal with few simple JSON documents (served well by the likes of Lombock, Records, etc.), unify-jdocs absolutely shines in projects that have to deal with multiple complex JSON documents (and their transformations) and whose structure can undergo change over the project lifetime. It also provides for a much simpler way of validating documents as compared to JSON schema. Why would we not want to read and write any JSON path in one line of Java code? The counter argument which I have faced (even from senior folks) is around type safety. When we use Records or Lombock or POJOs, the read / write operations on the document are statically compiled into the JAR file, whereas, in the case of unify-jdocs, these operations take place dynamically at run time. In my opinion, the benefits we get from using dynamic typing far outweigh the benefits of static typing using POJO / model classes. Looking forward to discussing more. Thanks.

I heard an interview with him where he said that before he even started writing the book he was receiving legal threats from Dalio's lawyers and is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, so I could see there being some animosity there.
Yeah. The trouble with as the dictionary has it "the practice or principle of basing opinions and actions on reason and knowledge" is what are you basing it on? Why are we here? What's the purpose of life. The answer to those is basically don't know, and they you build your reasoning on top of that.

However common sense "be nice to people" etc kind of works.
OpenAI trying to lure Google AI employees with $10M pay packets
It's not only time-consuming, it is dispiriting. Moderating is an unpaid job, and it sucks to be the target of abuse, and then to watch all the regulars on your sub attack you as the bad guy, when they side with the newbies that you are "gatekeeping".
It's kind of boring. It makes the same ring-of-fluid shape, or just random little blobs. It's not as representative of the sounds being played as it is just forming around magnetic lines of flux that don't really display the sound. The device construction is what is pretty neat here, but the ferrofluid display is a bit lacking in coolness unless you've never seen ferrofluids reacting to electromagnets before (and maybe I'm jaded because I've seen it plenty of times, and it's practically always the same effect).
