You made a list of things that you supposedly gain by sacrificing performance, and I am telling you to prove your claims.

I don’t want to see stupid medium article childish anecdotes. I want to see a real measured study that backs up your host of claims, as you have assertively made them as if a fact not worthy of testing.

Maybe don’t speak so matter-of-factly about things that are not actually measured facts and you won’t have people asking you to source your claims?

>passive aggression

There was no aggression, passive or otherwise. You’re reading in to it, presumably because telling you to provide sources for your claims upsets you for some reason. Try not getting upset when people challenge your incorrect preconceptions.

At least for microwave ovens, with domestic models reaching 1 kW and commercial (e.g. in food) 2 kW, the shielding on these needs to be pretty darn good to make sure that someone standing right next to it doesn't get their body fried. The maximum allowed leakage power density is 5-10 mW/cm² [1], according to a 2004 study even then most ovens barely get up to 1% of the legally allowed emissions limits [2, page 7].

Out of random interest I tested the "put a phone in it and call it" and it didn't work (as did wifi) that's mentioned in [2].

> Moka pots are pretty fussy as far as temp control and can be quite messy.

The best method I've found so far is to use a kettle to pre-boil the water, or get it to almost boiling at 85-90C if you have a temperature controled kettle, and then just finishing the brewing on the stove top. Almost no chance of burning the ground coffee, it's really quick to cook, and the water temperature seems to stay where it should, at least for my taste.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Perplexity yet. It uses ChatGPT and a public web searching API to provide answers. For cases where you absolutely do not want hallucinations, but you also want information that requires a search and reading a few web pages, it is far superior to a Google search alone.
"""this is the first time we’ve actually seen a __two-dimensional__ monopole in a naturally occurring magnet ...

These monopoles are a collective state of many spins that twirl around a singularity rather than a single fixed particle, so they emerge through many-body interactions. The result is a tiny, localised stable particle with diverging magnetic field coming out of it,"""

So do I take it that there is some kind of superposition of spins that locally, possibly just in a 2D cross section, appears to have a magnetic field with non-zero divergence? Is \nabla\cdot\vec{B} actually violated somewhere? The language seems pretty cagey.

Incidentally, I belive Dirac posited that they existence of magnetic monopoles would explain the quantization of charge.
>China’s use of fossils fuels increased in 2023.

Not sure what the point of this statement is besides xenophobia. China is the world's factory, where most US consumer goods are made. They at least are making huge strides in deployment of solar and wind, and they're not still debating whether climate change is "real".
I mean, I'm already a target for various things/reason. That's why I'm an advocate for viral movements so we hit a point where the movement's so large, we skip over the part of the process where killing us would be an effective means of stopping the movement.

You can monolith on lamba if you don't care too much about cold starts or can manage it..

Put another way, you can monolith and minimize spend on AWS; it's not either or.

I'm using asp.net these days and even a chunky app published ready to run with optimized ef models starts relatively quickly.
Right? Like imagine how many meetings they spent coming up with clever acronyms for their project to poison the ocean and then deciding on which to use.
It depends on the chemistry of the particular battery, we're always inventing new ones for better prices or characteristics.

Lithium is often mined from saltwater pumped out of the ground and evaporated in ponds. We can also extract it from seawater if desperate, so there's a price ceiling. It's only a few percent of the battery by mass.

Iron is mined, along with the nickel, manganese, aluminum, and so on. Steel is alloyed from several mined elements.

Cobalt is also mined but has a lot of negative externalities so we've moved to chemistries and cathodes that are cobalt-free or use relatively little.

Carbon, oxygen, and phosphorus have many sources.

My division is pretty much only looking at edge networking scenarios. Can I redirect you to a CDN asset in Boston instead of going clear across the country to us-west-1? We would definitely NOT run Lamba out of us-west-1 for this work.

I'm not sure how you're misunderstanding, but why would it go across the country when it's guaranteed to run from the same parent? Just deploy the app in the region you want, and now its Flame pools will be deployed in the same region.

If you want to switch the region it runs in, you can also easily just contact the other cluster to tell it to pick up the work.
Yes, I thought you were pretty clear on this:

>To a layman, purchased means "I bought the thing" not "I bought an ephermeral license to the thing".
Ok… this still needs to be duplicated, but if it is confirmed it is somewhat of a big deal.

They’re not “real” monopoles, in the sense of individual particles that generate a divergent field but rather a quasi-particle (the collective behavior of many individual atoms producing this overall effect).

In the worlds of the authors:

“These monopoles are a collective state of many spins that twirl around a singularity rather than a single fixed particle, so they emerge through many-body interactions. The result is a tiny, localised stable particle with diverging magnetic field coming out of it,” said co-first author Dr Hariom Jani, from the University of Oxford.

That being said, the applications are still pretty exciting and this is something that many people wouldn’t have tought possible at all.
Ok, so even if the AMD chips are equal to or faster, Nvidia still has a large advantage with their networking using their proprietary NVLink switching that was most certainly borne from the Mellanox Infiniband IP acquisition. AMD is going to have to rely on more traditional PCI-E based networking for all off-system traffic via Infiniband or Converged Ethernet vs the more optimized Nvidia GPU clustering that uses it's on proprietary super-low latency NVLink-based switching.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/nvlink/

I'm super curious to see how their networking results compare between transports when real testing results between large supercomputer-ish farms get out there.
I'm impressed not just by how shamelessly blatant your attempt to redirect this conversation is, but that you do it by suggesting your damage is irrelevant because of an implied but unsubstantiated horrendous act.
From a quick test, it is not as good as GPT4-turbo at this leetcode problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/calculate-money-in-leetcode-ba...

Of the three answers Bard (Gemini Pro) gave, none worked, and the last two did not compile.

GPT4-turbo gave the correct answer the first time.

I agree that it is overstated. Gemini Ultra is supposed to be better than GPT4, and Pro is supposed to be Google's equivalent of GPT4-turbo, but it clearly isn't.
Honestly this is a much easier read than TFA.
IME, I've learned to take an unclear answer as No.
> Throwing books away is cheaper than shipping them back or elsewhere

So basically it costs less resources to throw them away, and instead we are legislating that people spend extra resources under the guise of reducing resources by not throwing things away.

Sounds backwards to me.

It reminds me of those recycling ideas where you are meant to mail the item somewhere, using more energy to do that, than it would cost to make the item from scratch in the first place. Great plan that.

Or people who drive 20 minutes to recycle glass.

Instead please have a care for the environment and just throw stuff away!

> Forcing a company not to throw away unsold merchandise simply raises the cost of getting rid of it above zero, so they have to seek better options.

In other words things will cost more? So basically these new laws have as a consequence higher prices, and extra resource consumption?

Someone didn't think things though........
It is extremely frowned upon to mindlessly browse when you're driving a car.

And frankly when I used to take transit the busses and trains were so cram packed at rush hour I could barely move, nevermind hold my phone and scroll. It was often all I could do to keep from falling and squishing someone.

It also was more like a 40-60 minute commute each way, which I think is more common than a <30 minute commute in many big cities.

they aren't coming back because it's twitter, they come back because they need to reach a lot of people. That isn't unique to twitter in the grand scheme of things, it's just the current crown bearer.
Me too, it took me forever to figure out what the heck they were talking about.

Gas stations sell gas. They don't serve gas... Not even if they've got a restaurant attached. Only things that can be eaten/drunk are served in this sense, as both common understanding and a dictionary will tell you.

Embracing Automation with GitHub Actions
Sorry, to answer your question about data exploration, quite good. Reading files is a single procedure call which slurps into strings. Parsing JSON (or Datamancer parsing CSV) is a single procedure call. Nim objects and most compound data structures such as JsonNodes and DataFrames have printing support build in, using the `$` proc which is the language's equivalent to `toString()` and should be defined on every type possible. In short: It's great.

Rather, C is know for lack of guard rails, like no bounds checking by default, and some unfortunate early design decisions, like the handling of null, or zero-terminated strings. These are partly mitigated by modern compilers, but can't be done with completely.

I'm anticipating the time when Rust and Zig will displace C as the default language for writing hardware-interfacing code. It's not going to happen tomorrow, though.
Comfort level includes transportation reliability:

Anecdote: I rode the BART/MUNI every day in San Francisco to work for over 10 years. When I moved to the suburbs, I would drive to the BART and then take BART in, rather than take the bus to BART. What I noticed was whenever I had a bus transfer, the wait time and frustration would increase substantially. Buses were less reliable and trying to catch a connection was stressful. Driving enabled me to avoid those frustrating transfers by going to the most direct route on my own accord.
> This person needs to be in a mental institution, not their house

I'm with you in theory, but given it was the medical industry that damaged her in the first place, her mother is understandably very apprehensive about them having further access to her.

You neglect the dark side of this "lock the crazies away" solution: the so-called "doctors" are given full access to the person to arrange for whatever medical procedures they deem fit, with zero checks and balances, at the taxpayers dollar. In her case the "doctors" convinced her non-english-speaking parents to put their healthy daughter through a surgery generally considered elective/postponable at a very young age and (accidentally?) suffocated her while she was under, thereby permanently destroying her brain for life. The total amount taxpayers will pay the medical-pharmaceutical complex to keep her vegetive for her entire life is difficult to fathom.

All is not well in the state of public medicine.
It's a very fuzzy question I posed. For pure customer-pays-for-AI-service it could be Microsoft. I'm kind of thinking of it as: Google's core products (search, ads, YouTube, Gmail) would not be possible with AI and they are huge cash cows.
It might very well be considering most companies are small businesses but I was referring to their valuation/funding. It's worth tens if not hundred(s) of billions of dollars.
I'm interested in following this project, but I'm also quite skeptical of how much is being abstracted here.

I still feel like Kubernetes might be the most profitable thing to ever happen to AWS for the same reason--and not because of EKS (their hosted Kubernetes control plane).
Don't forget how easy it is to skip grocery shopping or feel too exhausted to cook after your drive home, and instead hit a drive thru or order Skip The Dishes.

This has to be a factor as well.
Are we talking lightweight servers like minihttp and shizaru, mid-level lighttpd , or big-ass Apache and nginx?
Fair. You can call it "it's gotten more politically controversial" and the sentiment remains.
I googled sage barista express and was like, "that looks like a Breville." Turns out it's the same thing. Yes, they're excellent machines and last a very long time. Don't actually require that much time, but they require the cleanup that causes issues in office settings.

PS: Nespresso capsules taste infinitely better than most K-cups and are at least completely recyclable-- the vendor even provides the prepaid shipping bag for them.
OpenAI isn’t a monopolistic behemoth like Google with a cash cow to protect. Google attracts far more attention and has a lot more to lose.

That advice sounds to be opposite of simple for someone starting out a new project. In addition to focusing on their core stack, they would also need to deal with Lambda details and its restrictions. How would they work around the 15 minute execution limit, for one?

My advice would be to start with a plain old monolith. Even launch with it. Once, and if, you have workloads that a) make sense to run as an isolated function, and b) would help offload some processing from your main app, consider splitting it and using a Lambda.

Doing so prematurely, or worse, starting with it, opens the door to complexity you just don't need early on.
Ultra is just vaporware, typical from google
Wait is it really true that if you use SQLite's JSONB format, `select my_json_column from foo` becomes unreadable to humans? That seems.. unacceptable. One would expect it to convert its internal format back to JSON for consumption.
> Is it me or does it not seem very well thought out?

Well, the first thing I expected to see when I clicked on a function was... the function.

It takes three or four clicks to get that, and the code is at the bottom of a fairly information dense page, where none of the information seems to have any relevance to using the function in your own code.

The other thing I expected to see is some discussion of the implementation, possibly allowing me to choose based on my needs (e.g. if I need to run a function 10,000 times each frame I might choose a different version than if I need to run it occasionally).

However, perhaps my expectations are wrong? Is this a tool for computer scientists to use in mapping the standard functions in various languages, rather than a reference resource for the working coder? The blog post doesn't go into any useful details, it's more like a standard marketing team announcement. They do mention it's part of wider initiative but it's not clear what that will be.

I do agree though that, especially in the age of AI autocomplete tools, I will never find this useful.

... actually, maybe it's a great resource for LLMs to learn from?

Depends on the kind of acceleration you want. VirGL is available on Linux host/Linux guest setups with recent kernels, not sure if QXL/SPICE will be available or can be added to the userland. Can't imagine a hardware passthrough situation making sense on a phone/tablet, either.
I've read that the 286 and 386 microarchitectures are actually very similar. The microcode for the 286 is 35 bits wide as well, and while the format isn't public, US patent 4442484 has a very complete diagram of the processor's internals (Fig. 3) that gives a little information:

- entry point PLA maps opcode to address in control ROM
- three 6-bit fields to select which registers go on the internal buses (MD, RS, MS)
- a few other field names

The entry point PLA for the 286 is below the ROM in this image: http://visual6502.org/images/pages/Intel_80286_die_shots.htm...

With a lot of guesswork I could make out some of it, in addition to the 8 opcode bits there are 4 other inputs which likely have these meanings:

- is sub-opcode using ModRM byte
- has 0F prefix
- has REP prefix
- protected mode active

The first two are tested for every opcode, while the latter are ignored for instructions where they aren't relevant. For the ModRM-extended opcodes, there is an entry for the "base" opcode and others for the sub-opcodes, but I couldn't figure out how these are encoded...

When Google finally made the whole of the web searchable, what would have happened, what would we have said, if they had decided some pages were inappropriate and therefore it should be their duty to prevent users to ever find them?

Why should AI companies become editors of the human experience, and who decides what topics are off-limits?

Sexuality? Isn't sexuality an important topic? Why can it not be part of our discussions with a chatbot?

"Illegal" activities? Aside from the fact that all laws are local, there are many illegal activities that are described in great realistic details in novels, movies, documentaries. If chatbots can't discuss those, how long will it take for the corresponding books to be banned from public libraries?

Etc.

This seems quite vain in any case. LLMs are in many ways comparable to a compressed index of the web; if it's on the Internet, it will end up in a model, and once there, it will be possible to extract it.

In addition, flags are generally user imposed. a Mod can flag whatever they desire, but enough users with enough karma can flag a comment, and enough flags will auto-flag until/unless a mod overrules it.

Neither of these are "censorship", even in the colloquial sense. One means someone disagrees with a comment, another means that it doesn't adhere to the spirit of the site.
