It is a product of Apple's ecosystem, its deployment on GNU/Linux is more of a side effect of not wanting to keep having macOS Server as product.
Maybe consider having a simple config I can stick into cloud-init to restrict access to IMDS to a set of users? Seems like something generalizable enough to be very useful to the cloud ecosystem.

I used to read a lot less, now I'm reading way more, and I'm using Reading as a way to tone down reddit/youtube/doomscrolling time. This is helping me restore my attention and focus, which I kinda had lost during the last few years. I am now more productive at work because of that.

Unfortunately I buy more books than I can read, and this gives me anxiety. I think it will probably take me at least 3 years to finish everything I have now. Anyway, youtube watching is down and I don't spend as much time doomscrolling reddit, so that's good.

By the way, I read hundreds of books per year, but that's because I have small kids and read to them every night. I'm extremely grateful to the fact that there's an amazing public library in my city.
If you are, that's 25 years ago now. Intel's ARC only released in 2022 with really nothing before that.

Nvidia has been making dedicated GPUs that entire time, while Intel basically only started. Intel has a LOT of catching up to do.
Are there any plans to do the same for CDK?
A more pithy version of my two cents...

Limitless horizontal scaling is really cool and all, but does anyone not running a Fortune-500 Tech company actually need this kind of firepower?
Zigbee does just fine with repeaters as well. You just need to be strategic with placing repeater-capable devices around the house, since the range isn't quite as good as Z-wave gear due the frequency.

Well there’s the looming threat of the fact that Nvidia is making margins that are way bigger so they can easily match any AMD undercutting and then undercut AMD if they want to.

Quite frankly I don't think any country other than Russia is going to be on Russias side here. If you want to be on good terms with your neighbours, maybe don't invade them?

Russia is in NO position to even remotely criticise Finlands decision here, and they won't be in a position to do so for decades to come.

If you want the domestic equivalent: that is like your neighbour shitting on your other neighbours doormat each day and then scoffing at you for not greeting them in the elevator.

Sure they can scoff. It just makes them look more crazy. And if you care about them being able to scoff, you should probably do some reflection as well.
I use keras for CV but for DL at work, we started moving towards pytorch and closely following modular.
>I wonder if locating datacenters in Nevada or Eastern California will become popular.

I believe that Fervo (the company Google partnered with) has open roles in Nevada, so it may be something that they're considering. Nevada also has the benefit of having cheap land once you move outside of places like Reno and Vegas because the majority of the state is arid/desert.
Attention itself was the key idea of that paper and, as you sort of acknowledge, was definitely not just throwing things at the wall. It was the culmination of a long line of work gradually progressing toward fully dynamic routing via attention, and it was motivated, if not by deep theory, at least deep intuition from linguistics. The other details of transformers are perhaps sort of arbitrary, but made sense to everyone at the time. There was no claim that those other details were optimal - just that they were one way of surrounding the attention mechanism with computing machinery that worked.
> your integration with the vendor is so specific, that it's very hard to transfer to another vendor.

Indeed.

> Lit is basically a library that makes use of the native Web Components APIs in modern browsers. If someone else would make a similar library, it would most probably have similar functionality.

Maybe, similar, perhaps.

The meat of the matter is this. There are a lot of things in lit that are specific just to lit. They have nothig to do with web components. Custom DSL. Tasks. Reactivity. etc. etc.

So yes, when you're buying in to lit, you're locking yourself to lit, and the way lit does things.

For example, Stencil, another popular web component library, is completely different from lit: it uses a different templating mechanism, a different data binding mechanism etc. etc.

> So Lit basically just gives you easy access to powerful browser APIs

No, it doesn't give access to those APIs. It goes out of its way to hide those APIs and provide a different, ore ergonomic API on top.

If OpenAI doesn’t achieve AGI, which it won’t, demand probably won’t continue to grow. LLM’s will find their limit and massive training budgets won’t be needed.

> All science is brute force of guess and test, and OpenAI does a lot of that.

Nope. Science looks to answer a critical question. It doesn't conduct trillions of experiments at one time.

> You don't think there's any possibility of emergent properties? Given that we understand physically how the human brain works, but not how consciousness emerges from that, I'm pretty damn unconfident.

Possibility? Why? Because Altman & co are hyping things up? They have no proof of a breakthrough. It's just posturing.
I don't undertsand why AWS insists on using network connections for security when there is a much better approach: virtual block device. Provide a tiny virtual block device, put filesystem on it, and generate credentials there, in json file format or even directly as sdk's ini file. If filesystem cache is a problem, put tar/cpio on block device directly and require equivalent of "tar xf /dev/vda".

This solves so much problems: security is trival (set file permissions), audit is trivial, no more timeouts, deciding whether to expose credentials to container or not is trivial (using directory sharing...), the client code is dramatically simplified.
Yeah, it feels like getting rid of it.

I never understood why they got it, when they already had Azure Sphere OS.

At least they are open sourcing it, instead of leaving it in some digital vault.
We are literally getting more energy from the sun than we could know what to do with it at this moment. The problem is that we oriented our society around the use of certain technology and resources are destructive to the planet's ecological and biological systems.

I might be including two things that are a bit different from each other, but they all contribute to our ability to thrive as a species, especially at our (average) level of comfort and consumption currently.

It's possible that certain overuse of certain technology is actually causing us discomfort.

Cars are energy intensive mode of transportation and manufacture. We could all walk more and be subjected to less pollution and experience a greater quality of life.
Can someone explain how to read the Conversion Rules section in the second chapter? I haven't seen this style of notation before. For example:

Implicit type conversion rules, applied in order, before any operation: ⊗: any operation (*, +, /, -, %, etc.)
(A) Floating point promotion
floating type ⊗ integer type → floating type
(B) Implicit integer promotion
small integral type := any signed/unsigned integral type smaller than int small integral type ⊗ small integral type → int
(C) Size promotion
small type ⊗ large type → large type
(D) Sign promotion
signed type ⊗ unsigned type → unsigned type

Edit: oops, I missed the explainer. The ⊗ stands in for any operator in case that was confusing to anyone else who missed it. :-)

It's a fair point and I appreciate the sentiment (and the extended HN conversation which is sometimes a rarity). I live in South Texas where I am a native and think about moving north as it only gets hotter here. I did mention the pre-existing condition earlier which makes things harder since my job, family, friends and support system are all local and built over a lifetime. Perhaps for me the change is to get a hip replacement and potentially alleviate much of my disability (which is mild compared to what some face, but gives me trouble nonetheless). It's a hell of a thing to imagine a doctor taking a saw to your femur and replacing it with titanium and plastic, but also an amazing feat of modern medicine no doubt. Maybe I'll just change apartments in the meantime lol.
The catch is that by mating they can randomly evolve resistance to the thing that makes them infertile I guess?
The people running a fortune 500 company are the majority of AWS income? I’d say it’s very relevant to them.

> to measure the ratio of resources expended to the amount of value being produced

That's just profit.

I think what you mean is that they need to make sure they can sustain themselves if revenue drops, say because of an economic downturn?

Cash flow and dept measure that to some extent.

But even if, we say those metrics don't tell us enough for this scenario, I find it's pretty obvious remote or in-office doesn't seem very impactful either. You'd want to reduce your costs and be leaner, dropping expensive office space actually seems like maybe a way to be leaner. Maybe some layoffs are in order to reduce payroll and cancelling all non revenue generating ventures/projects which are only burning cash and not making any as of yet (at least pausing on them). Etc.

I'm hard pressed to imagine how in-office helps you at all here. Unless you magically think employees will be so productive, you can half the staff and still have them operate everything without having to cut any scope or corners. But that's ridiculous. That's what I meant. If that was true, you'd be able to measure some impact to performance, but you don't, and that means you can at best expect a very marginal effect.

Ah, of course. It's not the real stuff. No true Scotsman would think it's the real stuff.

Oh no, it's not pretend. It's the fact of the matter.
Thanks for the feedback, I added a small disclaimer at the beginning of the article, telling the reader what JFR is and where to find more information.
I made the same argument to myself when I bought an AMD GPU for gaming 4 years ago. What doesn’t show up in a side by side comparison is that AMD’s drivers (or Windows’ treatment of them) fucking suck. Until I bought an NVIDIA replacement recently I was very frequently having to reinstall the drivers and also intermittently encountering driver crashes in games and browsers.

That’s not to mention having to fiddle with the drivers/games more than I was accustomed to, which IIUC is more a consequence of having less market share and thus not being a priority for game developers to work out of the box. I can excuse that, but not crashes or reinstalling every couple months.
I think your comment (as well as mine) goes against the HN rules, but this is a brilliant joke lol.
This is a very uninformed comment.

As much as I hate praising big corp, NVDA played the game right. They saw the value of GPGPUs and invested heavily in CUDA, sponsored universities and research labs when the DL boom happened, helped all ML frameworks into incorporating CUDA (dl or otherwise), has done a lot of work on cudNN, sparsity, and has published countless papers.

It didn't simply "turn out", and claiming such is doing a disservice to all the people who made that reality.

Intel could have very well built accelerators and GPUs, but they didn't. AMD also didn't even though they had a GPU division as well.
How well does 'X forwarding' ("Wayland forward"?) work?

A lot of time I don't want a remote "desktop", but rather just launch an app and have it sent over an SSH tunnel (-X/-Y).
The depletion of fossil fuels is not the problem. In fact, the opposite is true: we need to leave a very large proportion of present-day fossil fuel reserves in the ground if we're to avert catastrophic increases in global radiative forcing, and leading fossil fuel states don't particularly want to do that. Renewables, and potentially nuclear, can deliver all the energy we need if we are intelligent about it. Some things will be more expensive in the medium-term (producing extreme high heat, flying), but that's far from a doomsday scenario. Other things (average electricity prices, road and rail transport) will be cheaper.

There's also a lot of substance, though. AI tools are useful for real, shipping products today. Sure there's a lot of hype and people overselling their capabilities, but under the hood there's honest-to-god useful shit.

Unlike crypto, which was all hype, no substance.
I have used both Keras and pytorch Lightning. They have a lot of similarities and I'm fine with both. That said the abstraction does not really cover the input processing part: ie. pytorch dataloader or tf.data part
I can't so you could be right!
Anyone has got a similar list for single file software tools that are not libs? Something end users can use directly?
I recall that all the way back during the early days of their GPUs they were already talking about their compute capabilities, so I rather than luck, it's really just a lot of foresight, with crypto and AI emerging because of GPUs becoming good enough for the task, rather than happening to fit the problem.
I share your thoughts on Wayland.

Throwing systemd into the rant is unwarranted piggy-packing.
So basically 70% of AWS users can use it if they get accepted to the preview? Those regions seem chosen because they’re the biggest ones.
How many SDK for parallel computing both Intel and AMD released over the last 15years while Nvidia just focused on iterating on CUDA?

Intel and AMD just keep burning developers over and over.
I was at a company in the midst of the migration, so beware that my experience reflects a messy stage rather than an end state. I left before it was declared done, but we were using it.

My impression was fairly painful. I spent weeks troubleshooting small issues just trying to get it set up. The root issue ended up being something with how I configured it's repo of recipes/flakes/can't remember the term. The error messages weren't super helpful, and Nix doesn't seem to have enough penetration that even dumb errors caused by misconfiguration are googleable.

Given that most of our apps were distributed via tarballs or git clones prior to this (meaning no complex dependencies between them), I was more inclined to use something more similar to that (namely yum, apt or dnf). Having to re-do our builds and deployments at the same time was fairly painful.

Lastly, I don't feel like we really reaped any rewards. Tarballs forbid us from establishing complicated dependencies, so a lot of the pain points that Nix fixes just didn't apply. The things that Nix makes more painful were definitely felt, though.

Overall, it's something I might try if I were somewhere greenfield. I still think I would lean towards a traditional package manager or containers, though. Nix introduced a lot of friction for me, and it feels unlikely that the issues Nix solves would cost me more time than the constant friction of Nix.
Sure, mammals. They already existed.

But just because some mammal or another evolves into a sapient doesn't make that sapient "human" in the way we're using the word in this context.

The path from the little critters that existed at the time of the dinosaurs to H. sapiens today is very specific, and we know of at least 2 or 3 bottleneck events in our recent evolutionary history. The idea that our species could have arisen anyway is beyond absurd. The universe does not work in this fashion.

Compilation units are mainly about symbol visibility and as you already realized at the end of your comment don't have anything to do with inlining as far as the C++ standard is concerned. Neither does the inline keyword btw.

The linker doesn't inline anything, LTO/LTCG is about running (part of) the compile process at link time. But that's really no concern for the C++ code but an implementation detail of the toolchain - you could just as well not have a separate link step and instead have the compiler process all compilation units in one step.

Rich people consume more and pollute more than poorer people. So, yes, numbers do play a role, but so does how much each individual consume.

People in rich society could certainly improve their quality of life quite considerably by cutting back on certain consumption, such as building more walkable and sustainable environment.

We probably still have to make certain sacrifice, such as eating less meat.
> as far as I understand it was always an experimental project for the then very young technology of Web Components

So experimental that Google even had a Polymer Conference and was promoting it heavily, like it promotes lit now.

For a "non-opinionated" framework it sure does have a lot of opinions: custom DSL, custom directives, custom decorators, custom way of building elements...
I have had smart lights in my apartment for years - Philips Hue uses Zigbee. Every time I am in a hotel or a guest somewhere, I feel like I am visiting the 19th century.

Touching light switches seems savage to me now. I walk in a bathroom, and the light needs to come on, and it needs to be very dim after 10pm.
What’s the practical indoor range like on these? I’ve found the useful range of Z-Wave devices to be embarrassingly poor, and I think it’s largely because, in the US market, some kind of regulatory issue limits transmit power to 0dBm or maybe even less. (Z-wave LR is much higher, but it’s not ready for prime time.). ZigBee apparently allows up to 30dBm, which should more than make up for the less favorable frequency range.

Does anyone have any experience with how far it can reach through typical indoor construction?

Also, Rust does not have C++ interoperability the way Swift does and instead requires a binding layer. Some projects are choosing to completely replace C++ with Rust, but there isn’t a good way for the two to coexist, or to incrementally transition a codebase.
If I understand correctly, the point is this won't be possible in the future with where things are headed. There won't be any physical media to play on it. It's not about what you can find at Goodwill or the library today. This is forward looking.

I don't think you will need something coda-compatible. Apple has relatively solid pytorch support without copying CUDA, but PyTorch+ROCm is still not working on windows (and I think there's no ROCm support for the consumer GPUs from AMD).

I think Apple proves that it is possible, and possible relatively quickly.

Much of what you'll read and learn in the books won't have any immediate impact on you or your career. If there is an impact, it will be subtle.

Does that mean you shouldn't read it? Maybe. Honestly, it doesn't matter if you read it or not. Do it if you want to, but do it without the expectation of getting something out of it.

If you want a return on investment for your time, you're better of building something with the knowledge you already have. Put the books away and create something.
