The article has fun roasting this specific exhibition but as usual the various entities are independent and follow their own agenda and are all satisfied. No deep plot needed.

The museum loves to get along with rich private collections (which will donate money and art and will lend rare pieces on demand) and as a mission wants to host popular exhibitions. The directors score big in their network and get closer to rich collectors and add this feat to their resume. The public gets rarely seen pieces (for a steep fee in this case.) The museum will at least break even on the cost of running the thing. Insurance was needed and that's expensive and the government pitched in. The owners of the art fulfill their public-good objective AND increase the value all these pieces - now still better known. Scholarship got the short end of the stick - nobody on this crew depended on that too much. Everyone else is happy enough.

The question, rather buried, is that the show uses a scarce resource: six months of exhibition space at a major museum. Was this really the best the museum could do for the public in that time? On balance, because of so many major works, perhaps it was! But either actual curators couldn't be convinced (they would have little say as to which art), or the directors felt they could add a round of curation to their resume and didn't need to share credit. They might have had good success asking various art critics to write something to hang in each room (for the prestige or for money).

There is no doubt that the show is still useful to the public. Some private collections hold many big name art pieces and do not (yet) have a space of their own to display them. If you care greatly about one of these artists - or that period - you will pay to visit. This will be your only chance to ever see some works. If you care about art in general, you will be sorely tempted - for that single reason. You have heard of all these works and you finally get a chance to see a pile of them. In both cases, let's be clear: curation is NOT relevant. Quantity is sufficient (quantity of these well known pieces).

If you care about well-known art, when you are in Los Angeles, you visit the Broad. You have to score a time slot (it's free) but this private collection "has everything". It stands out: a private collection of mostly big-shot art that has a permanent exhibition space of its own (an extravagant half city block in the middle of downtown.)

> One of the biggest bottlenecks is memory bandwidth. That is also not cheap or simple to do.

This is precisely why people are trying to put logic into memory instead of just making the logic chips simpler. Compute being 10x faster doesn't mean much when you want real-time, near-zero latency in the current day (and potentially, future) ML workloads. Memory bandwith for low batches are much more important, and even though this chip comes with HBM3E (which is cutting edge), that by itself won't make this faster than H200/MI300X.

You could always purchase a multi CPU system (effectively what you're suggesting) from several years ago for much cheaper than modern hardware. If you're using it regularly though, the electrical cost will eventually eat away any money savings vs the same computational power in a modern single CPU.

Always good to see ongoing research on improving OSes!

I tend to focus a lot on having a clear purpose, just because I meet so many devs that don't quite understand how an non-tinkerer types see computing, and why the rest of us like Android, Web, Ubuntu, and Snap so much.

I have a hard time imagining someone making even a super polished derivative end users would want, but that's perfectly fine if the audience is hobbyists with a deep interest in OS stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised if the actual mainstream distros adopt some of the ideas if you discover something relevant to everyday use.

It is.

Apple essentially uses a scoring model. The legitimacy of your device is only one part of the score; your Apple ID and its history and standing is another. Those and other factors are calculated into a score, and if you meet the threshold, you can use iMessage.
Think of it as a credit score.

Before the Beeper saga, I haven’t looked into it since Hackintosh users have found that Apple will allow you to use iMessage with clearly spoofed device attributes as long as your Apple ID is in good standing and not brand new.

Why they did is anyone’s guess.

The leading theory has always been that, based on your Apple ID activity, they considered you a valuable customer. They didn’t think it was worth the hassle and potential backlash to block you despite using spoofed device attributes.

But it’s just that, a theory. And nothing is stopping Apple from tweaking its score threshold.

Anyone who picks and chooses from the entire list of rules is doing it wrong.

Pick a config that roughly matches your ideals and just use it. On older projects you’ll have to customize it a bit, on new ones you’ll probably just adapt to it.

This annecdote was referenced in yesterday's Chesterton's Fence submission[0]. Startup CFOs will universally grumble about such perks, but the competent ones know not to touch it, or only to tweak it in a way that's not going to piss anyone off (for example replacing the bottled water option in the vending machine with a water cooler to save on restocking). Aside from second order thinking there's a lesson here in hiring right. You don't need someone who'll mindlessly pursue low hanging fruit just to make a name for themselves.

Honestly it’s about what other galleries think of them

The key term here is provenance, how strong and reliable is proving the history of ownership if that gallery is involved, can they produce the prior provenance on demand

Nor do modern LLMs require them to. A lot will come down to how well it's implemented, though.

> Wendy's touts getting customers through 22 seconds quicker, but also an accuracy rate of only 86 percent. That means one in seven orders taken are wrong, and have to be corrected by an employee. A human would be fired for making so many mistakes.

Without a baseline to compare to this doesn't mean much; drive-thru orders have always had frequent mistakes.

From what I can find, human-level accuracy is around 85%[0], and Hi Auto claim their bot achieves 94% accuracy[1]. But, these are from different sources so methodology and what exactly is measured will differ.

I'd argue that privacy and security are unavoidably related. Is keeping your password secret about privacy, security, or "security through obscurity"? Depends which term you want to use :-)

IMO the concept of "security by obscurity" is overused. Ultimately what matters is the cost for an attacker. If you're trying to design a secure system, your system will be stronger if you put it out there for people to criticize instead of keeping the details secret. This argument doesn't really apply to encrypting the packages you use. Security solely through obscurity isn't ideal, but what really matters is the cost/benefit ratio. It's way easier to encrypt your package downloads than it is to read all the source code changes on every package update. (Does anyone even do that?)

I agree with this article: https://danielmiessler.com/p/security-by-obscurity/
What does high latency mean in this case? I've been in mobile for 15 years and now find myself using S3 as a document backup space. I'm rather alarmed because I'm only seeing, idk, 200-400 ms of latency. But then again, I'm in Boston. Am I just lucky to be near US-East?

I always like to daydream about the various solutions to the Fermi Paradox.

If we're not early, if life isn't rare, and there are intelligent species [1], what might most of it look like?

I don't think most of them would match the techno signatures we're familiar with. Factories, gas emissions, etc. are an industrial age thing.

What if they're really smart? What does that look like? What kind of signals might we detect? What kinds of energy might they be harnessing?

Are there any good reads or papers that posit these things?

[1] I also imagine they've found a way to escape the limitations of intelligence and death, perhaps by becoming computers of some kind.

For me Vivaldi needs more resources than Edge or vanilla Chromium but the tradeoff is more than worth the additional features.

You are too nice.

I think Chesterton's fence is awful. It's cited as a nugget of infinite wisdom, and it's the opposite.

Anyone who's ever worked in a corporate knows how strong inertia is. Chesterton's way of thinking is the default. Cruft accrues because people are so averse to remove things from the code base. What if anyone needs this fence? Just to be on the safe side, I'll just leave it here. Little upside to remove it, lots of possible downsides. That's how people think.

And this essayist comes and writes it down as some great insight, and people can point to it and get legitimacy.

Everyone, have guts. Be brave and call a spade a spade: Chesterton's fence is the lazy guy's rationalization to leave things as they are. And to look wise doing that.
You don't need to store all the hashes, just the Distinguished Points[1]. It took me a couple of days on a single AMD RX6700XT desktop GPU, using some negligible amount of RAM (it was a few GB of main system memory iirc).

Thankfully all of my users are extreme statistical aberrations who do not re-use the same memorized password (or a variation on it) for more than one thing, ever, at all
OR
they diligently watch every single possible place they have ever re-used any of their memorized passwords, with the globally mandated and complied with reporting, so they can know if a password they once re-used at grandmas-cookies.blog.example.com has been compromised.

The fact that all websites, servers, systems (etc.) check to see if passwords are known to be compromised (since NIST says verifiers will do that) makes things a lot easier, too.

i mean the PNG code, youd have to have some PNG code in addition to the DEFLATE code yes?
FPGAs are designed to fight latency as much as possible. To do this, they have networks of switches to shuttle bits across the chip and keep delays to the bare minimum, in order for synchronous logic to be able to run at the highest possible clock rates for signals that traverse the entire chip.

To meet this goal, there's a huge amount of effort required to compile a program written in Verilog, VHDL, etc.. into a set of bits that can be used to program all of the switching logic and look up tables in the chip. I'm lead to believe it can sometimes take a day or more per compile.

The second factor optimized for in FPGAs is utilization, trying to use 100% of the available resources of the chip. This is never achieved in practice.

Because everything is optimized for speed, it's not very power efficient.

---

Generally, FPGAs aren't the right architecture for neural networks. If you could load all of the weights into the LUTs, and leave them there, you'd get the type of speedups you want, but those scales of FPGA just don't exist.
I believe this was some of the advantage of the AMD Zen series of chips which moved to a larger die size from Athlon.

It’s fun to be just a curious bystander for many years in this industry.

Every now and then Moore’s law hits a roadblock. Some experts see that as a clear sign that it’s reaching its end. Others that it’s already dead, because actually, the price per transistor has increased. Others that it’s physics, we can approach Y but after X nm it can’t be done.

Then you read others that claim that Intel has just been lazy enjoying its almost monopoly for the past decade and was caught off guard by TSMC’s ultraviolet prowess. Or people who really know how the sausage is made, like Jim Keller, enthusiastically stating that we are nowhere near any major fundamental limitation and can expect 1000X improvement in the years to come at least.

Anyway, it’s really fun to watch, like I said. Hard to think of a field with such rollercoaster-like forecasting while still delivering unparalleled growth in such a steady state for decades.

Hip is basically cudas language and is almost source compatible. I believe they have a tool to convert between them. Really minimal hit.

The problem is most people are using NVIDIA libraries which ship with proprietary binary blobs, so good luck running that on your AMD GPU. Until they make all these extra libraries as well, they're SOL.. NVIDIA has zero reason to port all their IP to AMD or Intel.

One would imagine that they already have internal ports of their software to both these platforms to do benchmarking. Again, the technical problem is simply one of software.

Going back to the topic at hand. CUDA language and runtime are easy. Both amd and Intel have competitors here. They don't have the libs. The libraries contain thousands of variants of hand optimized code. Good luck.
I deal with very large tree structures (~100 GB) in my search engine, but even there the dominant factor for performance isn't big O, but reducing block reads, access patterns and keeping relevant data in the disk cache.

Big O isn't irrelevant, but it is not the full story either. There's a solid reason why hash tables are a thing in memory but aren't really a thing on disk.

The same reason we haven't gone to the metric system: we hate change.

(except for pennies though. I guess that is one kind of change we love...)
Yeah, it is really rude of them
We haven't switched to the metric system because there's no benefit for most people, simple as. The only people who would benefit are those who regularly need to deal in metric already, and children who would no longer need to learn the common imperial conversions. Most adults know the common conversions, and don't need to deal in metric for anything. Meanwhile, those same people would need to relearn how to estimate everything in metric units, which is a huge pain in the ass for them.

When you are trying to advance a measure which brings most people no benefits, and also incurs significant costs on them, it shouldn't be surprising that it's not popular. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

It's most likely just reference counting and the way abstractions work in Swift (dynamic dispatch?). In particular, it still loses to C# even if you use AOT for the latter, especially in multi-threaded scenarios.

HotSpot C2 and .NET Dynamic PGO-optimized compilations first and foremost help to devirtualize heavy abstractions and inline methods that are unprofitable to inline unconditionally under JIT constraints, with C2 probably doing more heavy lifting because JVM defaults to virtual calls and .NET defaults to non-virtual.

With that said, I am not aware of any comprehensive benchmarking suites that would explore in-depth differences between these languages/platforms for writing a sample yet complex application and my feedback stems mostly from microbenchmark-ish workloads e.g. [0][1].

Performance aside, I do want to compliment Swift for being a pleasant language to program in if you have C# and Rust experience.
