skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The GPU takes model space objects (a long list of vertexes representing the 3 corners of triangles), a camera position and a vertex shader that transforms them into screen space. Then it splits the triangles into fragments (pixels), and runs the provided fragment shader (also called pixel shader in dx-land) on each fragment.

The inputs provided are defined by the programmer, and in this case, they are an uniform float (same value given to every fragment) called time, and a varying vec2 (different value given to each fragment, the vertex shader outputs a value for this at every vertex, and when the fragments are created, a value is linearly interpolated between the three relevant vertexes based on the position of the fragment on the triangle) called vUv, which is just the co-ordinates of a pixel on the sphere.

gl_FragColor is the single output, a rgba vector that represents color that is applied for that fragment.

The only things missing from the more typical shaders used in all games and, for example, google earth is texturing and lighting -- normally you provide the fragment shader a texture handle, which it then uses with texture co-ordinates provided from the vertex shader to sample the texture, and for lighting the vertex shader provides a surface normal, which you can use with an uniform argument for the location of the light source to correctly shade the fragment.

If the idea of running a program for each and every separate pixel individually sounds inefficient, it would be, but the programming model here is actually SIMT. That is, you give the program as if you are working on a single pixel, but it is converted to actually work on a wide SIMD array, doing 32 (NVidia) or 64 (AMD) pixels at the same time. The cost of this is that all conditional branches are essentially converted into conditional operations, meaning that as a first approximation, you always execute both sides of any if statement.
The original Unix systems were really memory-constrained, and the standard utilities for processing text files often couldn't handle "long" lines (usually over 2048 bytes, sometimes less). So the `cut` utility divided an input file up into separate files each containing a section of each line. To put the file back together, the `paste` utility would merge the sections of each line from those files back together.
Frustratingly difficult: I love it! The cleverness here is excellent. Well done!
When we designed and implemented our project on Kubernetes, we found Vertical Pod Autoscaler an important part of cluster resource control in Kubernetes.

Here we summarize the working mechanism of VPA in Autoscaler, with its overall architecture and how different modules, like Recommender, Admission Controller and Updater, work together to guarantee optimal resource enhancement and cost reduction.

Hope this blog might be useful for those interested in learning more about the fundamental design of VPA.
Finally. As a next step, we need mechanisms to prevent the constant rehashing of these attempts to break security. Otherwise, it will get through during a crisis or via fatigue.
And by "actually comprehend" that means to accept arbitrary input, identify it, identify it's functional sub-components, identify each sub-component's functional nature as used by the larger entity, and then identify how each functional aspect combines to create the larger, more complex final entity. Doing this generically with arbitrary inputs is comprehension, is artificial general intelligence.

> The russians have been oppressing and killing Ukrainians for over 300 years

I know - and they did the same here, in Poland. We've lost our sovereignty, our culture was suppressed for centuries, and then we lost our elites in mass killings under Stalin again. I know, and believe me - I don't love Russians, nor do I support them.

They are culturally closer to the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan than to Europeans. Not that Europeans have no skeletons in their closets, esp. regarding the colonies and what they did to Africa - but the Russian Empire and its later incarnations did a lot of bad things. I agree with that.

But, I still don't want to classify all of them as "evil". They think differently, have different values, and are brought up with particular ideology that disregards things like human rights or democracy. They don't know any better, and it's not their fault they were born into such a culture or society. You don't get to choose where you're born!

Still, I understand your point of view. I disagree with forcefully re-educating and assimilating them - that's precisely what they did to us for centuries, and that's wrong. But, as long as we agree that:

> While killing all of them is wrong

We can talk, discuss, and find some common ground. What I'm against is blind rage, blanket hatred, and taking revenge just for the sake of it. But rationally, Russians, as they currently are, pose a real threat, and we need to contain that threat somehow. We should be able to do so without killing and even more bloodshed. At least, that's what I hope for.

I'll repeat: I think most Russians, even the soldiers, are ordinary people. It's just that normal people, when put in certain circumstances (like the famous prison experiment), tend to do evil things. You and me, we'd probably do those things too, had we lived the way Russians live. Let's talk about shaping the circumstances (also through re-educating them, if possible, without a threat of physical violence) so that they can live their lives in ways that don't threaten their neighbors - ways that don't bring the worst of human nature to the front.

In any case, no killing, please. Other than that, though, all options should be on the table (even if I disagree with some).
Look at how their boss responded.

If it wasn’t about the equity, why would they be so mad? The point of the PIP is generally to remove the employee.
Wikis/docs have been painfully static for ages. Keeping them updated is a huge pain and they're hardly ever in line with what's actually happening. But now, with these LLMs, we're finally getting somewhere. They're starting to get clever in ways that may actually help. From what I've gathered from the blog post about this new version, here's the cool stuff it does:

- Smart Addition : Adds bits of info (snippets) by pulling from various tools.

- Smart Modif : Figures out (insights) and fixes contradictions or repeats in the info.

- Smart Search : Lets you search using plain language.
This is a very different thing. Deno deploy have identified a few commonly used tools and implemented them as (IMO) very leakless abstractions. Why hire a team of engineers to implement a worse abstraction layer for you?

Performance (in particular cold start time) is better than most other similar cloud faas products. Dev ergonomics also.

If you need something more, sure go ahead and use another tool. But very many use cases will be well served by deploy in its current state.

If you have ChatGPT API access you can have it write code and bridge that to other external APIs. Without some guard rails an AI is like a toddler with a loaded gun. They don't understand the context of their actions. They can produce dangerous output if asked for it but also if asked for something else entirely.

The danger also doesn't need to be an AI generating code to hack the Gibson. It could also be things like "how do I manipulate someone to do something". Asking an AI for a marketing campaign isn't necessarily amoral. Asking it how to best harass someone into committing self-harm is.
Sure but 8051 is probably the most widely manufactured processor in human history (along their clones and derivatives) and they were originally fabbed using a 3.5 µm (3500 nm) NMOS process (IIRC). What I'd like to know is what the most advanced process/node has been used to manufacture a production 6502, Z80, or 8051 (or other old standard). Has anyone ever fabbed any of the those CPUs/MCUs at 130 nm or better?

Though, I will say that I'm amazed that anyone is still mass producing digital products on a 6" (if not smaller) wafer using a node that was invented in the mid 1970s (300 mm wafers are the current standard with the next proposed step being 450 mm). I mention digital because a lot of analog gear (and I think some MEMS) is fabbed using what most of us would consider ancient process nodes.
> "I no longer wish to be associated with you" is not a threat.

Some people take this as a threat, because they believe they have a right to force you to listen to their opinions. To my eye, this belief is what caused Musk to buy Twitter in the first place. I think it’s breaking his brain that he still can’t get what he wants out of Twitter after spending $44 billion on it and reshaping it in his image. Must be tough.
While I haven't looked at the code and can't tell you if it's the case here, most package managers I've used use unencrypted http for the traffic.

Security is achieved by verifying the signature of the downloaded file.

An additional benefit is that you can easily put a http proxy in front of it.
They said "worth 20bn" and it depends what you mean by build... writing the code or building the business around it that makes it valuable?
Interesting, thanks. But I’d disagree that this makes it “hardly open source”. It makes it more ‘GPL’ than ‘MIT’, but both of those qualify as open source. It seems a pretty reasonable condition in this case, imo. In any case it would be a stretch to call it a “lie” that they open sourced their patents, which is the claim I challenged here.
AI isn't going to let the little guy into mass media. It's just going to let the mass media cut out the costly human element.

Alternate argument. Maybe these kinds of investments are bad and we would have more realistic companies if founders and investors focused on profitable companies and making sure their customers were actually happy rather than trying to look appealing to some behemoth that will buy them down the line or other investors.
at some point, I assume they meta game the PIP expecting employees to leave willingly.
> "The home folder - /boot/home/"

What relationship is there between home folders and the boot process?
I think the problem here is a societal one. One born of capitalism, that does not value art in itself but only the value people ascribe to it.
And the problem I see is less that it replaces good artists, but that it takes away menial work that artists might use to support their more artistic endeavors.

I think this is a real problem worthy of much discussion, but I also think this is not primarily an AI topic but more a general one about what kind of human expression our societies value and want to encourage. You can't stop progress here, though we could decide to not like it and do something else.
> Software "engineering" is the new factory work.

I always found interesting how this has always been true, but a lot of people seemed to not notice, behind the high-pay and benefits of past. Software engineering has always been just labour. Relatively scarce labour, but we were never "in control".
Well, it seems what the interviewed person is saying is that "Day X I didn't have the money in my bank account. I waited for Day Y, and now I have \"couple hundred thousand dollars\" in my bank account", which sounds like it didn't happen over 2 years and 4 vesting occasions. But maybe it's just worded weird.
It have some learning curve, but it actually makes sense when you get used to it and work for other format too. It is much better than other transformation language, and you can even call Java.

The scale of the time and money put into Formula 1 tyre development is amazing:

>>In large companies, you have numbers.

This is the root cause of the problem, for many reasons that average size of a company has expanded, today the market share consumed by large enterprises is higher than it as ever been, cutting out SMB where employees are often treated as humans not as a numbers

I think we will see a correction at some point, as I dont believe Companies on the scale of Amazon, Apple, Google, etc are sustainable and today are artificially supported by government regulation, at some point however that will prove to be these companies weakness

I've booted up my Amiga 1000 with external harddrive enclosure several times during the last decades and it is still working (including the drive and floppy drives). I'm kind of amazed.

Depending on your perception, x.get is either error recovery (good) or a silent failure (bad). One is not necessarily better than the other; it depends on what you want. In my experience, x[] is usually the better choice because failing fast makes debugging easier.

I hope no one is recommending x.get as a general practice, because that is pretty naive.
well... it is not faster than qgrep :) even though the way both work - differs greatly, and even though qgrep is based on re2 - the speed comes from the presence of index. but then I wonder why people forget the qgrep option, since with large file stores it makes much more sense to use qgrep AND indices, rather than always go through all the files.

this above all true UNLESS you need multi-line matches with UTF8, where ripgrep is not so fast, because it needs to fall back to the other PCRE2 lib
If you instead move laterally and look at other "modern" countries, instead of temporally, it's easy to see how the working class and more is getting exploited in the US.

For the most part they looked like they worked out fine - generally it was a personal problem, people not "liking" people. The line manager gave the nudge and wink to be "extra nice" to the meglomaniac in the senior suite and after a few months cooler heads prevail, along with a documented performance.

A lot of actual real world peformance and what people actually do isnt really visible when you are a few layers up (or in a different team). Sooner or later in an organisation large enough someone is going to assume simply because they dont like someone over there, that person does nothing all day long.

If one was particularly skilled you could probably use these sorts of things to undermine upper management that is already on the ropes - but that is an advanced technique.

Supposing that one company's cash-value offer is equivalent to what it would cost to build, there would be no point in building a startup.

That value estimate is what the built thing plus company staff plus brand recognition plus timing is worth. Hardly the same thing as what it would cost to build again. Especially now knowing an effective UI/UX for the task.
yeah people learned with time. Github had the same problem too.https://github.blog/2018-09-28-upgrading-github-from-rails-3..... in 2023 it is so well documented, and so easy to automate, that shouldn't happen anymore.

I don't think you get it. The way this stuff is done is just as described - totally blindsiding, and potentially flat-out gaslighting. There's no actual metrics or data until they fabricate a paper trail and force you out.

You don't win these things. Rather, you take your money and go elsewhere. Then turn down the subsequent job offers you get from them, using them only as leverage to juice your pay elsewhere with a competing offer ;-)
yes, showing up and doing nothing and getting paid for it. imo worse deal for the company than the employee but gives company opportunity for project handoffs.

Yes LLMs are an amazing technological breakthrough for knowledge base and document solutions.

You have a good understanding of what we are doing :)

With snippets:

* You can save Slack thread as a new document in GitBook; the document will be generated by a LLM (it's not a plain dump of the messages).

* You can record your work on VS Code (+ audio), and we'll translate it as a document (snippet)

With Insights:

* We analyze content (we have customers with more than 10000 pages in their docs) and identify contradictions or duplicate

* We don't auto-fix them yet, but it's planned ;)

With AI Search:

* We leverage LLM and a vector database to provide complete answers with sources to natural language questions

But it happens. You legally need precedent to fire someone. Nowadays you even legally need precedent to not give someone the average raise. This kind of "precedent caching" is a natural outcome of a tightening budget and a desire to filter through workers to find the best of the best. I hate it. I'll never manage again.
