> Freshwater access is likewise a complete non-issue at a global scale.

"Water scarcity affects roughly 40% of the world's population and, according to predictions by the United Nations and the World Bank, drought could put up to 700 million people at risk of displacement by 2030. People like van der Heijden are concerned about what that could lead to.

"If there is no water, politicians are going to try and get their hands on it and they might start to fight over it," she says."[1]

But no, a complete non-issue. Just build desalination plants, poor countries!

Xwayland will still be there so there will be way to remote desktop to xwayland.
If you don't know what an RTOS is, then what makes you think you're in the target audience for this article?
It can't be much more than a thin "translation layer" on top of Wayland similar to how xcb or xlib are two different flavours of the same thing right? The most important feature of XWayland is that it knows how to render the window chrome so that it looks consistent with other apps.

What's the go-to ML framework nowadays?

One day, I set off to create an ML project in Tensorflow; but I soon realized that getting the data in ready would be a huge challenge and also a massive value-add. It's been three years and I'm still working on the data!
Gets stuck on major websites. The extension support sounds extremely fishy: I could install uBlock Origin, but either they are violating the Apple AppStore rules, or the extensions aren't actually working (fake API, not really implemented).
It's an ACM publication, when in doubt search their digital library:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1273445.1273458 is their entry for it with the following: https://doi.org/10.1145/1273445.1273458
There's not? Both AMD and Intel have GPUs that are competitive in certain market segments. AMD in particular is pretty much even in terms of rasterization performance on the high end. Intel is just new (again) to the game of discrete graphics.

Nvidia, on the other hand, invested tons and tons of money to make CUDA good over the last like 15 years, while AMD has not really put any serious effort into AI/ML workloads. It's mostly a software support problem, not a hardware problem to my understanding.
To a point - some questions aren't worth testing. Questions like "What if I can eat uranium?" or "What happens if I fill my car's gas tank with water" are costly and avoidable.

Using basic reasoning skills instead of credulous consideration of magical powers seems a reasonable threshold for discarding certain research. I don't need to spend billions of dollars trying to figure out how to cut people in half and put them back together like a magician, even if thousands or even billions of people have "witnessed" such an event.

Science doesn't allow for a rational mechanism that would enable psychic powers like telepathy, seeing the future, and remote viewing without augmenting the brain with a technological interface and machines that captured and transmitted the information. There's simply no room for reasonable experimentation around these types of claims, unless it's psychological in nature; things which are known and provable limit any possible mechanism by which psychic powers can operate.

If you wanted to posit some sort of technological mechanism, then you're getting into simulations, aliens, secret government implants, or other theories that lack plausibility as well.

We'll likely have common BCI augmentations within the next century. Networked human brains will exhibit psychic-like abilities and the potential is amazing, but until that happens, claims about such things are fraudulent, deceptive, or deluded.
you believe the solution is on the consumption side, not the production side? interesting
Agree, can someone(s) more knowledgeable about this field share their thoughts on how defensible Nvidia's position is in the short and long term?

Like are companies like this a credible threat? https://www.cerebras.net/

I hear a big part of Nvidia's lock-in is that they provide software that runs these AI projects?
Not believing in or investing in your own biopower is really scary, yeah. The belief that once you steal some documents you'll be able to start doing the thing, the disbelief in having your own seasoned smart ingenuitous people who make stuff happen... It's kind of madcap to me.

It signals a very scary zero-sum mentality of getting ahead at any cost. But like, it's the college student who cheats on every exam... yeah you're getting good grades. Yeah you eventually figured out how to copycat the stuff. What's that worth? Is the output enough?

I do appreciate a lot though the counter view in this thread that IP is a made up fiction, that it's artificial, and that we could probably be much greater a world if we had reward mechanisms to give other than complete & total control for 20+ years.
Too customizable for my tastes. I'd rather apps make the choices for me and I can decide if I like it or not. There's no customization in Narwhal that makes it feel anything but watered down and trying to please everyone.

I get it if that's your goal but it's not for me.
Sure, if we have an ever increasing population, we're going to run into resource limits, but the vast majority of experts believe the population is going to stop increasing, they just disagree about when and at what level.

Secondly, the resources we use per dollar of GDP is going down rapidly. Not as fast as GDP is growing, but it is going down. Given that a good portion of our growing GDP is due to growing population, once the "growing population" part of it goes away, it's not unreasonable to expect that resources/$GDP will shrink at the same rate that $GDP grows.

It's not unreasonable -- if we have access to lots of clean energy and we recycle efficiently our footprint will go down substantially. For example, the iPhone 25 will be better than the iPhone 24 yet likely use less resources. And the upgrade cycle for iPhone's is slowing down -- an iPhone 18 will still likely be "good enough".

The biggie is food. Food uses a lot of resources. If we stabilize the population that'll take a lot of strain off, but I believe that we can significantly reduce our resource requirements for food. Right now we grow our food the way we do not because it requires so many resources, but because that's the cheapest way to do so. For example, if we used a lot more greenhouses we'd use a lot less land for the same amount of food, but we don't because greenhouses are more expensive than just using a lot of land. Also, I'm very optimistic about "precision fermentation".
> Is the woman who is using an AI boyfriend to cope with a verbally abusive RL boyfriend avoiding a problem that she would be better off confronting?

Or maybe the woman is getting resources from the chatbot to help her escape the situation.

I don't think we necessarily disagree, since I don't read you as saying there's never any place for AI chatbots. We need independent research that isn't just done by the AI chatbot companies themselves so that folks can figure out optimal approaches for training them.
I never said they must have to do with noses. My argument would be more like sn- words are more likely than a random word-start to eventually take on a connotation to do with noses.

In this sense, the development of word-senses after word-origination and with respect to developments in other parts of the language would be a fine argument.

I think, sometimes, people are so focused on etymology that they lose sense of why words evolve in meanings over time.

Tracing, for example, the genetics of various finches in the Galapagos, one might find a tree of ancestry and say that "this finch species came from this other, which in turn are derived from this common ancestor" (etymology for birds) -- and that this is why their beak is shaped in such and such a way (because of their ancestral tree).

To do so, however, would be to lose sight of the larger picture -- there are a variety of ecological niches in the galapagos suitable to different beak shapes, and these shapes (like crab body form) have evolved again and again.

The local ecology and niche structure determines a possibility space of beak shapes -- the specifics of which species was capable of competing within those niches as competition waxed and waned in each determines which species were most likely to evolve in which directions (or split and radiate into multiple beak shapes).

We have no problem understanding this for birds -- why is it so hard to conceive of something similar for words?

I'm probably showing my ignorance here, but if etymology and ancestry are paired concepts, what is the name of the word that means "why this word took on this sense", or "why this word stayed in the lexicon and evolved while this other word died out in usage"? The corollary to "evolutionary pressures" on words (and their semantics)?
PostNord a publicly owned company, but it's an ordinary company by its legal status. The latter is what matters for the legal rights of its employees. Because PostNord is in direct competition with privately owned businesses, it should operate under the same rules as its competitors. It could be seen as an unfair an possibly illegal advantage if its employees were not allowed to strike.
There's also AMD - but it seems like a hard industry to get into. Intel keeps trying, most recently with Intel Arc[1], but they've never been able to (or perhaps wanted to) crack the high end.

In 1998 we still called them Doom clones. Goldeneye didn't even use conventional twin-stick aiming. There's a reason there weren't many. How many non-Nintendo 3D platformers are there today?
This is the essence of skepticism: not a knee-jerk, arrogant "NO," but an open-minded "well, let's see."
Huggingface I would consider a high level framework, that uses pytorch as a backend (they may now be using rust/candle as well?)

Mojo is another ML specific python dialect.

I think most people including me associate Keras with being very simple and high level, which isn't really correct now based on the article.

ggml is somewhat specialized, I was giving it as an example of the kind of framework I think we'll see more of, that is specialized, dependency free, written in a compiled language and directly optimized for speed. As use cases consolidate around specific architecture like LLMs, a faster and simpler low lever framework becomes preferable to a swiss army knife with abstraction upon abstraction like pytorch.
It may be improving but it's not there yet, let alone battle-tested with years of production use in serious applications on Linux. And we are talking about a distributed database here, where a bug can very well lead to it eating your data. Imagine PostgreSQL developers decided that, say, Zig will be their successor language. We would rightfully call them insane, no?

> Also, it might be niche on the backend, but it's definitely not niche overall.

I think it's safe to say it will always be a niche language on Linux, which is what matters here.

Here is recent report of trying Swift on a non-Mac OS platform, it's pretty damning:

> I can't help but wonder, what if I'm not depressed, but simply see things clearly?

I am not of the opinion that you are depressed nor am i recommending therapy. What i am recommending is a change of setting. You’d be surprised how your outlook changes once in the right environment. Also i am not saying you are wrong all i am saying is that it depends on how you look at things and what things dominate your life and the setting influences both. Issues may be more acute in certain parts of the world than others. For instance in country people living in London can only dream of owning a property, whereas outside london thats not an issue. That doesnt negate the problem of london housing. Similarly weather patterns are shifting to worse in some areas but to better somewhere else. Theres loads of nuance around us.
I can't wait until people find its limits!
There is an overlay now in gnome-terminal git that will give you this on wayland. I added it last month.

TIL: A secondary drain often isn't required by code (in the US). I'm also shocked by this, seems obvious, especially for a machine that's above ground-level.
AMD is even on performance and significantly more affordable for consumers. but people wont stop buying nvidia's ripoff products like the 4060. really frustrating
AMD and Intel are competitive in gaming. Where Nvidia excels is other types of acceleration. AMD and Intel can't hold a candle to Nvidia when it comes the raytracing renderers used in every 3D and CGI workflow, for example.
Agreed, it's what TED should have been; an actual expert in the field that also has a knack for speaking and puts on an excellent presentation with visualizations to boot.

"The best stats you've ever seen" is a good one for those interested. https://youtu.be/usdJgEwMinM
That's literally what we do with civilization ending tools like nukes and research diseases.
Centrally managed interest rates moderate the business cycle. It's one of the key activities of a central bank.

And it's easy to verify. Look at the business cycle in the US before and after the creation of the Federal Reserve, for example. Under the Fed, we had the Great Depression and 2008, and relatively mild recessions other than that. Compare that with the 19th Century.
What's the best Zigbee repeater, to get signal to a different part of the house? I used to use a smart bulb, but people kept turning it off at the switch or moving it.
Nvidia has been the pick axe vendor for 2 gold rushes in a row now. First crypto, then AI. It's an extremely nice position to be in. Regardless of how something like OpenAI shakes out, Nvidia will keep making money.

Depends what kind of ML. If you were just spinning up models to shove data through, sure. If you wanted to craft a model to your particular needs, you will have a much better time with Torch, even 5 years ago when online tutorials were filled with TF/Keras.

I think Keras more or less died when the TF 2.0 transition was botched so badly. Many moved to Torch and never looked back.

FWIW I actually prefer JAX but my work is atypical compared to the usual "predict churn" or whatever application.
Would you buy a hub that adds matter to old zigbee devices?
My first thought is that galvanic corrosion could be a real issue in humid areas with bare aluminum attached to a (presumably) steel subframe. I looked it up, though, and the difference in anodic index between iron or carbon steel and stainless steel is larger than that of aluminum - so it it is an issue, it'll be worse with stainless, unless Tesla doesn't use any steel frame or subframe components at all.

That aside, 304 stainless steel has a Rockwell hardness (B scale) of 88, while aluminum is only 20 to 40, depending on the specific alloy. It should be substantially more resistant to scratches. That also means scratches are correspondingly harder to buff out, of course.

The only true advantage I can think of is that "door dings" should pretty much be eliminated by using stainless.

All of that said - I'd be willing to pay a premium for stainless steel body panels in general; doubly so if those body panels are largely flat and angular. That should make repair and replacement significantly easier for my own potential use case.

I think the Cybertruck has the potential to be an excellent, long-term "rural/agricultural utility vehicle". There are several "ifs" to that statement: if the batteries have sufficient range and life span, if the suspension is simple and rugged, if the cargo capacity (weight) is high enough to be useful, if the bed is large enough to carry low-density stuff, if the towing capacity is sufficient, etc.

I've not yet seen one in person, so I can't say if the Cybertruck would be at all suitable. Maybe it meets half of the above requirements, and could be built into a capable off-road vehicle. I'd love to have one to use like a beater Jeep - sort of like a modern, electric International Scout.

It's a shame they're so expensive. I'm really hoping that some of the features of the Cybertruck - including the stainless steel body panels and flat/angular aesthetic - eventually end up finding their way into a less expensive model. I may end up buying a Cybertruck, but what I'd really like is a "Model 3, truck version".

Alternatively, maybe the Cybertruck will have end up successfully scaling production, develop a healthy aftermarket for parts and modifications, and they'll be available on the used market for much less. I'm not holding my breath, though :)
This is indeed a major deal, and having the Eclipse Foundation shepherd it is wonderful.

Microsoft deserves praise and even adulation for this, but time will tell how well supported the project is. They have a good track record so I'm very optimistic, but this is going to require a lot of ongoing support. That shouldn't be and isn't on Microsoft alone now, but they may have to shoulder a larger burden while getting things moving.
AMD's Radeon group has, by any definition, kept up. In gaming, in the tier of cards that people actually buy, they trade blows with NVidia.

But making a GPU is hard. Making a good GPU is even harder. This becomes a chicken and egg problem. If NVidia's hardware has quirks, and you're a game developer, you optimize your game for Nvidia's hardware. If someone else tries and builds a GPU, they discover that many, popular, games run like sh*t. Because of tens of years of strange workarounds to ship a game, drivers rewrite commands for specific games, game devs abuse the directx spec or do it wrong.

However, Nvidia set out 10-15 years ago to corner the professional general purpose GPU compute market with a software layer called CUDA. Software was written and optmised for CUDA, and not any other generic graphics library for reasons I don't know (I'm not a graphics developer, just a gamer). So now Nvidia enjoys a moat in gpGPU (as it was called).
> I have an idea: I would really like to layer an abstraction ontop of the memory model to formulate a protocol for interprocess/interthread communication. In other words, the cache coherency protocol IS the protocol for message passing. No locks!

That's generally what you get with RCU/lockfree data structures.
While I can appreciate reasoning about AGI as a purely abstract thing (I loved Nick Bostrom's book, Superintelligence), it seems out-of-touch to believe it's at all likely to happen. Do these people even use GPT-4? Do they connect the dots of its capital to the dots of its performance, and see how we're already hitting a huge wall? All while losing MSFT cash and routinely failing to do even basic tasks?

I can't help but feel like I'm being marketed to. I've grown to completely distrust anything in this vein, since the reality of the system I see before me is so drastically inferior to how people appear to be reasoning about it. It's not like how a Model-T car differs from a modern one in safety, power steering, and so on -- it feels like an error of categories.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way for access points to tell clients 'use this SSID and secret from now on, goodbye'.

I guess you need to have a list of people that are the only ones allowed access, then tell them. Maybe include a paper with the new SSID and secret and maybe a QR code.

Yet. Keep in mind that everyone thought getting sick was magic until germs were discovered, we used to be completely unaware of electromagnetism, etc. etc.

This isn't a statement made in good faith, you're pre-poisoning the well with a slippery slope.

There appears to be ample scientific evidence that at least some future events already exist. Check out _Time Loops_ by Eric Wargo for a good summary.

A wonderful solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. Just ban breeding.
Just use HomeAssistant and find ESPHome compatible hardware. It drastically simplifies everything and there are even vendors like CloudFree [1] that support it out of the box.

I've got several outdoor and indoor hydryponics systems set up that way and it's been a joy (except for the RaspberryPi SD card dying on me, which I've since replaced with a more reliable SSD based SBC)

I mean, I personally deleted every video I put on YouTube once they wanted to start putting ads into my media to monetize them when I put them up for people to see for free.

Embedding youtube videos means tracking javascript for users, potentially ads for other companies showing up (if not now, later), it just doesn't seem sustainable.

Peertube seems not so good because of the overhead of federating, but the upside of course is anyone on other services like Mastodon can just add comments... no need for yet another 3rd party vendor with their own tracking javascript to handle comment threads... and people can trivially share your video on other federated services.

But it does have a lot of overhead if it's federating a lot.
It really depends on your career goals and whether you're doing greenfield or maintenance coding. If you want to be part of the "new generation" of tech, learn Rust. If you want job security, dont care about doing anything glamorous or exciting, and don't mind a long learning journey, go with C++. It will always be around and it's hard enough to learn that you won't have as much competition.
> Disabling screen and input capture should have been an 'opt in' feature for the truly paranoid.

You can do screen captures on wayland. I've seen tools that were used to share a mouse and a keyboard to multiple computers kvm like that supported wayland so input capture seems to be possible to me.

My only gripe with wayland is that we seems to be lacking a common top level interface that is compatible with any compositor. Right now if some feature is not managed by the toolkit's wayland backend, devs need to have to implement compatibility with gnome's mutter, wlroots based compositor and kwin independently which doesn't seem to be a sane way of doing things. I wish all projects would converge into a common library like wlroots.
If you mean AI/ML/Cuda? I fully agree with you. AMD is suffering the consequences of their half hearted efforts with ROCm right now.

If you mean gaming? AMD has had better mid range gpus since the rx 480 was released in '16. Nvidia has been resting on their laurels and AMD has recently seemed to be fine playing the 'price is right' game where they price their gpus ~ 10% less than nvidia and don't even attempt to take market share.
