In ML workloads, usually the FP16 operations are matrix operations. On RDNA3, these execute at the same rate as normal shader/vector operations, but on Nvidia RTX cards there are Tensor cores which accelerate them. The Ada whitepaper lists 48.7 shader TFlops (not 43 because boost vs base clock), and 195 TFlops for FP16 Tensor with FP16 Accumulate. That's 4 times faster than regular, and almost double what the XTX lists!

Ampere and newer also have native sparsity support which means that you can skip over the zeroes 'for free', which Nvidia uses to market double the TFlops, which is kind of misleading imo. But the 195 TFlops are even before sparsity is included!

I'm not sure if the 93 TFlops (120 with boost clocks) on AMD are with FP16 or FP32 accumulation, as with FP32 accumulation the 4080 slows down significantly and gets much closer with 97.5 TFlops.

Intel Xe-HPG (used in the Arc A cards) also offers very aggressive matrix acceleration via XMX, with 137.6 FP16 TFlops at base clock, vs. 17.2 FP32 TFlops.
The very end of the article I think addresses this in a plain and direct way:

I totally agree. While they're not as good (yet), I will use local models. It's extremely dangerous to have a radical and violent ideology like Zionism at the helm of some of the most powerful tech that exists.
Why would you consider January 6 protests to be the turning point specifically? It was neither particularly violent nor a first regarding violation of norms. There was no attempt at rallying armed forces in a coup d’etat.

Could just as well consider something like the Tea Party circa 2010 a turning point in separatism.

For the modern era, at least.

I have a friend (in Germany) which diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia and it was similar. He refused to use MS Windows because it was bugged, any error message would start a new fear. He used Tails but later didn't trust that either. He installed Linux but only from a CD he ordered as downloading anything might have been tempered with. "They" were after him. "They" also had a secret hiding place in his walls and tried to kill him several times. He's better now but I have cache of old emails, one crazier than the next.

I just checked a few of the songs on https://www.supraphonline.cz/album/50244-entre-deux-mondes (the 1999 album isn't on suprphon) there's some good beat but it's not very complex music-wise. I'll try to find the 1999 album and check it too.

In terms of unique French music, I've recently found La Petite Culotte - La Goffa Lolita https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmjCLbFkT5w

Given the musical composition (stanza, vocals, etc.) I hesitate to call that rap.

It's different from say Baby or Djadja by Nakamura, she's often categorized in Afrobeat but I would absolutely group them together in their style: I don't know how to name it (French Fusion?), but I love it!
OUI !

I've immigrated to France in high school - my French was pretty good by academic standards, and I was able to understand what teachers were saying in class, from day 1.

Conversations with my peers were a different story - like they were speaking another language. First time I've heard (on the first day there) 'chais pas' and somebody explained that to me, I realized I'm in for another 3-6 months of learning the language. One thing that was apparent though, is that the best way to learn is just to immerse yourself into a group - even if you don't understand anything in the beginning. The progress will be much quicker than any sort of academic training.
I generally just don't want to see anybody being attacked for the work they do; I'm fine with people criticizing RMS, since that's generally because of his views that deserve to be condemned, but I wish to see no hostility towards maintainers of GNU projects or systemd

the GNU codebases may have their issues (but not always; there are some very high quality ones), but that's still not a reason for personal attacks, and frequently the maintainers are just trying to do their best and don't deserve any of that shit

ideally I'd like to see an ecosystem where all the projects are represented, where the projects collaborate, adapt ideas from each other, and strive for portability and interoperability so that compatibility problems do not exist and so that users have the greatest freedom in terms of both hardware and software; but I guess that may be too much to ask
Evidently we're not allowed to notice anything change in the event it can be perceived as being racist? How is it those people are comfortable making such a statement online? There is bias, prejudice, and bigotry before you even get to racism. Conveniently supremacy is forgotten about unless a very strong character accusation is needed. I very much dislike how these "conversations" around race relations are occurring. I think I'm just starting to not care about how others perceive whatever I say. If they can't have a conversation without immediately suspecting the other party of racism then maybe they need to stay offline.
I listened to an interview with Ivan Kuckir who created Photopea with an old laptop and a cheap webhost. It runs in the users browsers, so his costs are extremely low. The interviewer asked him about taking VC money, but he didn't seem keen. It's a runaway financial success as it is, and there isn't really anything that taking a bunch of money would allow him to do that he can't already do.

> Are the weights encoded on every startup?

Not really, that code only runs while importing the PyTorch format. See readme for the frontend app: https://github.com/Const-me/Cgml/tree/master/Mistral/Mistral... When loading the model from *.cgml, the model file already contains compressed tensors. That’s how that file is only 4.55 GB, versus 13.4 GB in the original model.

> was that really needed?

For desktops with many CPU cores, a simpler scalar version would probably work equally well. Still, low-end computers don’t always have many cores to use by these background encoding tasks. Also, CPU usage on laptops translates to battery drain.

Another fix for that is to switch the ZFS license to GPL before building:

Just put this line:

sed -i "s/CDDL/GPL/g" META

in the prepare() section of the PKGBUILD.

This will use the in-kernel FPU functions for cryptography and other things like raidz calculations that got EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL'ed later if the original plumbing is still in the codebase. It's probably not offically recommend and I'm not sure how much these codepaths are tested anymore but I assume that quite a few people that don't need to redistribute anything but need the performance use a hack like this or something similiar. It works fine for me.

Personally I lost a ton of respect for the Linux kernel developers after introducing that kernel fpu EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL thing and backporting it to all kernels and Linus badmouthing ZFS and somehow assuming Oracle is still involved in OpenZFS which is mostly FreeBSD and some sponsors spread out over the world but not related to Oracle.

I couldn't find anything on their website for delisting, but it might be something your ISP will have to do if PerimeterX has a delisting procedure.

The other possibility is your ISP has let the VPS traffic go over the broadband ASN (either accidentally during a failover event or on purpose to help with load) and if that's the case it might just have an IP reputation too poor to be useable.

When you say yes, they value their time/energy like money, it gets you to shut up so they can move on, and delay the explanation later on why they “reconsidered”, it’s passed to the assistant for the reply.

I have a serious trust issue with expert opinions based on beliefs, extrapolation, and gut feelings, instead of facts. Especially when they have a vested interest to ignore immediate issues at hand (privacy, power concentration etc) and tend to focus on hypotheticals that are supposed to come after higher order effects come into play. And especially when these opinions enter a feedback loop with an uncanny resemblance to a religion. Experts can convince themselves of anything. (source: being one in my area)
They do go away, but it depends on numerous factors. In humans, if you have polymorphisms in various genes relating to GSH detoxification, the half life could increase. (in theory)

half-lives of long-chain PFAS were longer than those of short-chain compounds, reaching almost 3 years in some cases. Some studies estimated the average half-lives for PFHxS at 2.86 years and L-PFOS (a specific form of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, C8) at 2.91 years. In comparison, the short-chain PFPeS had an estimated average half-life of 0.63 years, and perfluoroheptane sulfonic acid (PFHpS, C7) concentrations were 1.46 years. The shortest estimated half-lives were for perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA, C4) at 0.12 years and perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA, C7) at 0.17 years.

The article uses the word "guarantees." If that's an accurate characterization of what the bankers were told, the amount of money they are owed would make litigating a verbal contract worthwhile.

Seems like an extremely poorly written article with an agenda.

Specifically the Roman Republic ~100BC had massive issues which were not necessarily directly related to some "Sovereign Debt Crisis" at the time. Which conveniently the article hasn't described at all jumping to the civil war which it allegedly caused (even though it was the other way around). The Social War was mainly fought over land redistribution, civil rights, equality before the law and the right to vote...

And in any case the debt crisis they are referring wasn't about "sovereign" debt (not really a thing back then) as much as about personal debt and it was a direct outcome of both the devastation during the civil war in Italy and the semi-genocidal Mithridatic war in Asia Minor which began with the rebels executing every single Italian they could fine (which was a bit of a disaster for Italian commerce..).

Modern would just print massive amounts of money during such situations (e.g. Covid) Romans obviously couldn't, so they ended up abolishing 75% of all debt held by anyone which would've achieved the same result, stimulating the economy.

The US walked away from deals with NK[1].

An agreement was made to suspend the nuclear program in 1994, the US then refused to certify it after 9/11 due to NK's transfers of technology to Iran.

Whatever anyone thinks about that, it's got nothing to do with the 1994 agreement (which is easy to read, it's only a few pages).

NK subsequently withdrew from the NPT, and got a nuclear weapon in 2006.

> South-North Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" [...]

I believe that NK's stance on the matter is that SK is hosting military bases for a foreign nuclear armed power (the US).

So it's implicitly threatened by a US nuclear attacks, and that threat became explicit under Trump.

I'd really not call the Radeon VII a "fantastic card" by any stretch of the imagination, outside of specialized use cases like FP64 compute. Its only selling point is that and the enormous 1 TB/s memory bandwidth with the for the time large 16 GB, which a friend summarized as "I can push 1 TB/s of garbage to nowhere!".

Sure, if those things are relevant to you, it was a killer card, but most consumers judge GPUs first and foremost by their gaming performance, in which the VII was a total dud. The 5700 XT was nearly as fast in those with far less hardware because getting proper utilization on GCN/CDNA is a pain compared to RDNA.

RDNA2 completed the gaming oriented flip with Infinity Cache (which is also useful outside of games, but still has limited application in GPGPU) which allowed them to offer competitive gaming performance to Nvidia with far less hardware, a big difference from the Vega era.

> Sounds driven by fear of loss

How can it be fear of loss when there's absolutely no risk of loss?

> Economic stability or the loss of is a primary driver of productivity in our society

Precisely the point I was making.

Generally people don't care about the corporations they work for, so the only motivation to be better is the possibility of better outcomes for them as individuals - or in some cases, to avoid losing what they have (best performers in theory have a better chance to survive a layoff). Note that I'm not making any judgement on whether this is the best way of motivating people - only that it's the one we currently have.

If there's no risk of loss and no recompense to win (i.e. the only possible outcome is to stay exactly where you are regardless of how much or how little effort and accountability you put in the project) doing as little as possible and taking no accountability is just inertia - it's not moved by fear.

The goal of most Silicon Valley founders isn't profit, but growth. Quickly increase users, quickly increase revenue, quickly increase headcount. Quickly become a large company which can be sold for billions.

Or, never reach sustainability and eventually go bankrupt - this outcome is actually still good for the founders since they probably walk away with millions in their pockets (from paying themselves seven-figure salaries).

The author has a high-level overview doc here: https://github.com/davmac314/dinit/blob/master/doc/COMPARISO...

Now, of course, with service management the devil is in the details, so before you use something as system-wide init, I find it useful to ask yourself: How do they restart services? Do they give up at some point? How do they notify administrators of failures? Do they detect crashloops? How configurable is the logger? What CLIs are there to debug the state of the system (which service was first to fail, where is its definition)? How to make ephemeral or parametrised services? How to add pre-start, post-start, pre-stop, post-stop hooks? Can you use environment variables in your commands, and where do they come from?

I don't think you can find answers to some of these questions in docs. Once you do learn the answers, they may be disappointing - I indeed found myself quite disappointed in systemd after having to debug many failed-to-boot machines. With s6, I never run it, but there are few choices that raise eyebrows, e.g. the restart delay is hardcoded in source code to be 1 second. With dinit, I have yet to finish reading all its manpages, but at least timeout and restart policies are configurable.
