Besides the dynamic bandwidth allocation, you pretty much described how USB 4 and all versions of Thunderbolt works.

Personally I'd hate to see my display bandwidth drop when I copy files to a flash drive so I'm glad no monitors support that part of your suggestion. Input lag = horrible UX.
I used whisper-cpp on an atom Netbook to transcript some short and old UK video from the 60's into written English (I am not a native speaker). I think it lasted lasted than an hour.
Really, it’s because of the habit of Ruby programs to pass a single options (params, args, config) object in to avoid complex configuration.

Really, what’s needed is separation of concerns, instead of a single “do stuff” function that takes an “everything” argument.

But what’s really wanted is global variables with everything is a single scope.
Programming is 5% of painstaking work to break down a problem into hyper-detailed description that leaves no space for ambiguity (that's the "meta work"), and 95% of dealing with self-inflicted bullshit like build systems, package managers, platforms, service architectures, devops, devsecops, secdevops, and all the procedural nonsense necessary to give people paying us a modicum of control over delivery.
a deposit has nothing to do with it, you need to dump the electricity or the entire grid will have a bad time.
Yeah but AGI would control both in the end.

> Let's remove 20% due to 8b/10 encoding

Thunderbolt 3 uses 64b/66b encoding (unlike display port 1.2 alt mode), so there's more bandwidth left over for non-display protocols.
I do the same with tech oriented podcasts. They have a clear speech, so transcribing them right it's very easy to do.

Can you imagine how much power 10,000 H100s actually produces in production? I bet you'd be able to run modern games on a cluster that large at a full 60 FPS.
Some languages (Rust and Swift for example) have expressions which are placeholders but won't actually work.

let x = 5 + todo!("Complicated arithmetic expression");

... is valid Rust, it typechecks, your syntax highlighter should be fine with it, it'll compile, but if that line ever executes, you panic immediately.
Yes, yes. In case of OpenAI: not only clear action but all the research and the disciveries needed are planned at least a few years ahead. They know exactly when AGI is going to be here!!!
> Airbags ... are also guided by law and regulation.

This clarifies that 'local decision' is actually a 'government decision' - and that local refers to it's application. That helps.

With some tweaking tho, I think we can improve on that comparison. In order to accommodate the inevitable mission creep, we'll want nextgen airbags systems to accept updated programming - to always be ready for new mandates.

Airbags could then deploy whenever officer determines the public is at risk. And then whenever an officer fears for their safety. And then whenever the State fears for it's safety.

With these changes I absolutely see the similarities.

What hardware do I need to run this locally? What languages are supported?
There was a project back in 2013 called PORTAL. "Personal Onion Router to Assure Liberty". It used a GL.iNet travel router. At that time, there were no model numbers. I bought one ($18 on the 'Zon), and upgraded the flash to 64GB.

The company noticed that 1) folks were upgrading storage, and 2) hackers were adding pins so they could connect to the serial port. They then modified their production to include both of those hacks. They called it the "6416".

I've gone on to buy many of the GL.iNet devices. I take a Brume with me on travel. Their built-in software (OpenWRT with a custom WebGUI) is so handy that, despite knowing they have anti-features built in, I just use it as-is. I normally use it's 802.11ac radio to connect to the hotel, and copper Ethernet to my machine. But with dual antennas, you can also connect wirelessly without going half-duplex.

That DIY 6416? I use it as my home WAP, configured as a bridge to my central switch. It's been running 24/7 since 2015 or so.

GL.iNet also make an open-source hardware design. So if you're uber-paranoid, you can build your own.

BUt there is no money transfer - sorry If I did not explain this correctly

Person 1 buys the gift card, they are the only ones who can use it to buy events from us - they have no actual cash value, it cannot be transferred to anyone or be used to make purchases for anyone else - the person who buys the gift card gets to use it

Is this still an issue?
I don't think it has to be the fourier transform necessarily.

I think the fourier transform might be a really approachable version because it is already in so much signal processing. Sometimes its periodicity can work against you.

From what I can tell you, what you need are:

1. invertible, identifiable basis

2. Something like Parseval's Identity

3. Able to "smooth" out things like the heaviside function or dirac deltas

4. Workable on graphs as well

5. decays at infinity

6. eigenfunctions are all orthonormal

Turns out, making something like that gets you something similar to the fourier transform, and the math is probably the simplest since you are working with easy exponentials that work nicely with convolution.

People have done similar work with Chebyshev polynomials, and there are actually a lot of applications in ML/AI using Chebyshev polynomials in graphical neural networks and triangulation.

edit:

The fourier transform also comes about pretty nicely in quantum mechanics because of poisson bracket stuff and its nice derivative properties for position-momentum space. I am don't think other transforms/function basis come out so naturally.
Isn't something deeply broken if that would cause issues with something as superfluous as ad tracking?
The dirty little open secret with a lot of these platforms is the contract sizes, hardware costs, etc are so massive they come with multiple teams of dedicated engineers and internal expertise to get your application(s) up and running on them. Obviously these things are never quite "pull a docker container and run" and no one dropping eight-nine figures on these installs is going to do it without serious vendor backing and support.

It's part of the reason why AMD has had quite a bit of success here but is in single digit market share for "AI" otherwise.

Most people - even large orgs with thousands of GPUs - are so trapped in CUDA the theoretical on paper performance and cost benefits evaporate immediately when you spend all of your time trying to port everything over to the point you get equivalent performance and functionality.

So another guy who claims to be a Tesla employee says (again, strangely future tense) that this is true? I mean, I am willing to believe--'cause he paid $20 for a blue check--that he probably is a Tesla employee.

But the use of future tense is a bit weird, right? And the lack of any followup?

> A “random Twitter post by some guy who runs an online clothing company” is definitely a wrong assumption.

I guess I'm old. Back in my day, "evidence" wasn't some random dude's online posts. But I know things have changed. ;)

More seriously:

https://www.hpcwire.com/2023/08/17/nvidia-h100-are-550000-gp... says Nvidia is producing 550k H100s in 2023. And there's obviously a significant lead-time requirement.

So, yes, I can sorta imagine Tesla pre-ordered 2% of global supply of H100s early in 2023 and was bragging about it at the end of August just 'cause.

But I can also imagine this is smoke and mirrors, and they have, like, a handful with the rest on backorder, and we haven't heard more about it 'cause Tesla doesn't have marketing people, it just has wahoos who post things on Twitter.

Either way, I guess?

I just asked GPT-4, and it denies being a MoE model.

User:

Are you an MoE model?

ChatGPT:

No, I am not based on a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model. My underlying architecture is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) framework, specifically the GPT-4 version. This architecture is a large-scale transformer-based neural network, but it does not use the MoE approach.

In a GPT model like mine, the entire model works in a unified manner on each task, without dividing it among specialized sub-models or experts. The model is trained on a diverse range of data and tasks, enabling it to generate responses across a wide array of topics and questions. While this approach lacks the specialization that MoE models offer, it provides broad, general-purpose language understanding and generation capabilities.
You’d need an RDP-style protocol to do that, and at the cost of the increased latency this brings.

And now think about what this will mean when you’re actually doing RDP on top of it.
Of the three Pixel6a phones I bought for family members less than a year ago two have had their eSIM support mysteriously and permanently stop working, and one has had its physical SIM stop working.

Excited to upgrade to a Mac with Thunderbolt 5 which should allow for 6K at 120Hz with 10 bit color over a single cable. All this with an OLED panel is just about peak display for me.(though miniLED would be fine too)
You wouldn’t be able to see that debug information on the phone itself if it wasn’t jailbroken, as the GP mentioned you would need to use console on a Mac. The second screenshot is from a phone, ergo, jailbreak.

Also other commenters have mentioned he’s on 15.4.1. That’s two major iOS versions old. It’s possible they’re just on an iPhone 6S/SE/7 which was capped at that version, but a jailbreak is likely.

I think describing it as a gift card is problematic.

If you described it as "buying access to an event in advance", then it would be fine, but the point of a "gift card" is to "gift" it to someone.

I previously ran 150,000 AMD GPUs. 10k doesn't seem that large. =)

That said, these GPUs aren't just the GPUs. They are whole chassis. They are huge onboard storage arrays, TB's of RAM, 800G networking (and associated cables), racks, cooling, power distribution, backup power, etc...

None of it is easy.

You have a similar experience like you described above with those USB video adapters that don’t run DisplayPort. They use lossy compression and - as a byproduct - have increased latency compared to a DP/HDMI output.

Displays aren’t special. It’s just that they’re moving huge amounts of data hundreds of times per second, so they use a specialized protocol to do so.
I’m just saying that’s how the old systems worked, as that was a limitation of the time.

A modern system doesn’t have to beep. It can tell you what it’s doing, in your language, visually on the dash and audibly. Also, there’s no reason a modern vehicle designed for this type of system needs to cut all power immediately. It could cut power or limit speed over a period of time, allowing the driver to safely pull over. And there’s no reason for it to ever cut power to steering or brakes.

I think a lot of people, yourself included, are having a visceral gut reaction instead of looking at this rationally. The people responsible for the safety of vehicles aren’t going to write a law that requires a vehicle to cut its steering and brakes while the driver is cornering, when there are so many alternatives that would be equally effective but safer. You need to take a step back and apply logic and common sense to the situation.
Minmaxing in RPGs is kinda expected and pretty fun.

3. RTS games

4. tower defense games

5. bethesda games since morrowind

Minmaxing there is a natural outcome and often makes the game funner (because otherwise the difficulty is a lot).

They explicitly say USB 3.1 Gen 1 in the article, and the linked technical document [1]

> "I'm a little confused by Apple's machines wouldn't support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 when they support USB 4 and Thunderbolt."

Yeah, it's weird, but Apple has never supported Gen 2x2, AFAIK. 2x2 means you have two 10 Gbps channels running in parallel on two sets of pins, but USB 4 does a similar thing to get 40 Gbps and they do support that. Shrug.

I mean, taxation is actually theft, even if you're stealing from the rich to give to the state. In order to justify that, you have to provide a lot of value, which we currently don't do. Angrily wanting to tax people more successful than yourself just makes you sound jealous, not optimistic. Cut the spending first, and then if the government is still in trouble, cut the spending more.

To control the hyper-rich, the solution is simple. Corporate tax breaks for your lowest paid employee's salary. The higher that floor, the less tax you pay. Incentivize prosperity, not taxation and slavery.

It's unexpected, until you dig down into the reasons why immigrants might not learn a new language.

1. There may be a community of your type of immigrants so you might not need English and within the community there are trusted people who can translate, so you don't actually NEED to learn the language yourself. This is why immersion language programs work well since you're forced to learn a language. Otherwise it's much harder, even if you're motivated.

2. When they moved they likely were not given the tools to help them learn. And even if they were given some of these tools, were the immigrants able to balance work with these classes. California does this well, they have a lot of free ESL classes, which are well taught and agencies/non-profits push immigrants to attend them.

3. Learning a new language is HARD, especially when you're older. Especially if it's not similar to your existing language (learning Spanish, French, German is relatively easy for English speakers since there are many words that sound the same. Learning Russian or Mandarin or Arabic is much harder since the language aren't part of the same family).

Integrating large groups into an existing community requires a lot of intentional work, no matter if that's immigrants integrating into a country or a company meeting with another. If that intentional work isn't done, you end up with silos.

You hit on the fundamental assumption of calling IT a factory, and why that’s invalid.

IT is not a factory, it builds factories.

I believe a lot of developer/management conflict stems from a lack of terms for what we call manager. A McDonald’s manager supervises employees to ensure they’re following a process that produces a product. Failure to adhere to the process is obvious, the process is assumed to be valid as a given, and failure to produce the outcome is obvious.

Whereas a programmer is employed to develop processes that a machine will follow. A manager over this employee may have a process for the programmer to follow, it may be obvious whether this programmer is following the process, but it is uncertain if the process is valid and will connect specific actions to prescribed outcomes and the outcomes themselves may be non-obvious.

But we call both people in these roles “managers”, despite them being very different.

Programmer, in this machines analogy, is a different type of manager. One that presides over machines, and not people. But these machines are turned loose on the world, left to their own devices and not watched over by the programmer.

The economies of scale in industrial farming are jaw-dropping. Raising birds on a small family farm is vastly more effort, and is much less optimized for turning the cheapest possible feed into meat.

Go to your local farmer's market and you'll find similar prices: $8-12 per pound.

That bird will also taste much, much better. For starters, it's not "injected with a solution of salt, sugar, and turkey broth", as your grocery store turkeys are. That's why turkey meat is so dry and flavorless. For another, it got more exercise (which is why the dark meat has more flavor than white) and ate more than just corn.

It may not taste ten times as good; there really isn't a good metric for that. To my mind, it's more important that the industrial conditions that allowed that cheap bird to be so cheap are pretty horrifying, and I don't like participating in that.
