> Then you're admitting that there's something non-physical that defines the identity of the physical thing

It's not a question of being physical but that of independently describable.

> Or is identity itself meaningless

Identity is how we frame and contextualize for the purpose of thought and communication. For the purpose of thought I might consider the modified ship the same as the one in the initial state but if the law requires you to rename and re-register as new when you modify so much of a ship then for legal purposes I will start identifying it as a new ship but the people that use the ship will probably consider it that same old ship because for the purpose of thought the independently describable object has not changed.

It is not identity that has no meaning but that physical objects themselves have no meaning to us unless framed in an independently describable context (i.e.: as separate from all other things in the context).

For a computer program, does the letter 'A' exist? It does if the program can decode a byte as such, but does its inability to describe the bits and bytes that way mean the letter 'A' does not exist? Maybe it is 0x41? Identity has meaning but only to those who are able to describe that identity and reason about the context.

Also the two volumes of Leonard Suskid's "Theoretical Minimum" are a great place to start for highschool math.

You cannot master all of physics not even professional physicists can master all of physics.

What you need is;

a) The theoretical minimum.

b) A niche in physics you have an interest in. (I recommend you start with the "A Very short introduction" books.

You can get into Astronomy, Cosmology, Electricity for example.

Also it would be great to have a copy 9f Richard Feynman's Lectures of physics.

I don't think that comment was an indictment of anything. As someone also in the space, it reads to me as a thoughtful explanation of why catching up to the CUDA ecosystem is so hard, even when the goal is "just" matrix multiplication (it's actually not, but for the sake of a cleaner argument that's ok). It's entirely possible AMD or Intel or someone else has some super secret CUDA killer hidden away somewhere, but nobody has seen any evidence of it. It's a bit of an extraordinary claim, and the community would love to see some extraordinary evidence.
It's amusing to think that this might be a self-fulfilling prophecy because it ends up in training data.
You are either extremely unlucky or chose a very strange setup.

not bleeding edge) and stick with the defaults. Don't try to make it exactly like your Mac or Windows machine but lean into how it does things. They are different . They may be uncomfortable. Then, once familiar feel free to tinker and hack.

Yeah I'm not making a point about cookware, I'm making a point about the length and detail of the article! You could replace my comment with any number of other reasonable recommendations.

I guess I'm a bit frustrated by the internet-hobbyisation that I see of cooking. People are talking about "when it's time to upgrade" your cookware as if cooking is a sport that you need to excel at and where your score can be limited by your pots and pans.

I've been cooking enthusiastically my entire adult life and I've never "upgraded" my cookware, nor my knives for that matter (also "a set of knives" are not necessary, unless perhaps if you are butchering meat you only need one knife).

I'm not saying people shouldn't enjoy nerding out over kit if it makes them happy (I do have a very expensive coffee grinder after all) but I object to Experts providing Advice that it's necessary or that there are any important decisions to be made here.

>Nvidia is pouring $$$ into protecting their advantage as anemic as it might be.

This description isn't fair. Nvidia was pouring money into CUDA for 16 years. AMD/Intel only woke up once ChatGPT launched and nvidia started printing money. It's not fair to call it "protecting their advantage" when nvidia invested into the ecosystem for years and AMD couldn't even bother to ship working examples with OpenCL. I'm not sure why choosing the company that decided to invest in the platform for years is at the expense of the "greater good." What "greater good" is there above actually working software?
I feel you, as subscriber from Linux Journal during their print lifetime, I eventually found peace in Windows 7 and later, alongside desktop VMs, than ensuring everything on a laptop does indeed work properly.

Even Linux branded laptops keep having issues, example on the one I still have around, I never got around fixing it dropping wlan connections, so for large OS updates it needs to be plugged on the LAN.
That's promising, thank you.
While I fully agree as a rule you shouldn't have to do manual memory management in Java, the functionality is there and useful in exceptional situations.
I've seen integrations where there's no '100% pure Java' implementation available, so you have to choose between picking a battle-tested native library or reimplementing from scratch in Java (which sometimes isn't even possible with closed source systems)

The “2001” monolith was heavily implied to have been explicitly buried. It was detected first as a magnetic anomaly, and when touched while exposed to sunlight it emit an enormous RF burst.

In other words, it was specifically protected from the elements, in a way intended to be detected only by a species at a certain minimum level of technological development.
I've worked in applications where a lot of IO is required. If performance is something your application cares about then you'll probably end up using direct ByteBuffers which are off heap and you'll likely want to set a sensible value for: -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize

However if this value ever does get exceeded, you need some way of tracking down what allocations happened prior to your OutOfMemory exception.

Though the above article implies the sampling rate is once a second (I guess there's some cost to increasing that rate). Usually you won't be allocating direct memory on the reg since it's expensive to allocate and deallocate relative to heap memory so you kind of want to capture ALL allocations and deallocations. As such a sample based approach is not ideal due to possibly missing some data between samples.

I've never seen Zelle suggested for bill pay. I've tried to use Zelle for account-to-account transfers, but it was obvious this wasn't the intention; I think I had one bank account tied to my email and another to a bank account tried to my phone number so I could send money to myself (the intention seems to be a person only sends/receives from one bank account) and the limits are very, very low. When I was trying this, the cap seemed to be secret and vary institution to institution.

Heh… kudos for introducing me to the cosmological “doughnutverse”.
That's a good question. I can't imagine that you'd need to use this to track normal garbage collected memory. There were pretty good tools already in place for that.

I guess what you'd want to use this for, is when your application is directly allocating memory, e.g. via direct byte buffers. That's not something you'd do in an enterprise application, it's more something you'd need for high performance image processing, or maybe for some extremely high performance web server.

Their point seems sound. Restated: Using pytorch [is better than] using CUDA directly (i.e., ml devs interact w/ pytorch apis not CUDA apis). And if you're using a wrapper anyway, whether CUDA is used or some other backend is less crucial (than if directly writing to a GPGPU api) so long as the wrapper works as expected.

Hello,

I'm a french (non Parisian) reader, and was very surprised by the comments I read.

More precisely, the near 100% percent agreement on "french are despising non native speakers, especially the Parisians".

I really don't feel it this way and am so surprised. I don't have more to add since I really never thought about this.

Speaking of English: I work in an international company since one year and am I the process of becoming fluent: native speakers are the hardest to understand for me. The easiest being the french, but surprisingly, a strong Italian or Moroccan accent isn't stopping me at all.
I think because they pronounce more of the words while native speakers use more contracted form where they don't even pronounce part of some words.
The pace isn't a problem, it's really the absence of part of the phrase that is hard for me.

I have more trouble understanding Indian, Australian than Americans, but it may be due that I watch a lot of American made content and am more used to their accent.
I’d be curious to know where she is from.

I’m from Southern France but I have lived in Paris for a few years. I didn’t have a strong accent that would require subtitles on French TV like some people do, but I did have an accent. Nobody would mistake me for a local.

I think people over there are generally condescending and don’t care about you. I don’t think the accent is the issue. If not that they would find something else to complain about.

I was occasionally mocked for my accent but nothing that a stare and raising of my voice would not fix. Maybe staff is more likely to mess with a woman?

Anyway. Almost nobody is a local in Paris. People from all over France come there. They erase their accent and all pretend to be Parisians after a few years. Then they age and go back home to retire or raise a family in an affordable place.

These days I travel with my wife and switch from perfect English to perfect French and I get a bit of shock from the staff when this occurs. Nobody complains about my accent anymore, relieved they won’t have to deal with English for once. I must have a fairly weird and impossible to geographically locate accent nowadays after years of living abroad and speaking to expats. I’m no longer sounding like the caricature of the peasant from Southern France. Also my wife is a lot more friendly than me and generally would befriend staff members that can speak good English (foreigners or students) so I guess that helps.
That's what keeps LLMs from being self-sufficient it seems. Life has this peculiar ability to always keep basic necessities at the center, and always default to them, so the loop can keep going:

1. Try your hardest not to die.

2. Try your hardest to reproduce.

3. Try to thrive maybe also while at it, but DON'T FORGET 1 AND 2!

This is why humans are this weird combination of instinct and reasoning that we find hard to control. The limbic system is very basic, but very strong and very stable. The primary loop. Everything else allows us to go farther, but when we fail we go back to relying on the limbic system.

If we allowed reason to take over instinct, we'd likely end ourselves. Not that we can't end ourselves by also relying on instinct but essentially the strategy there is: sacrifice the intelligent shell and let the basic loop continue so we can rebuild the intelligent shell in a new, more stable and suited for the environment form.
Americans should learn this. Very useful.

I call those types of people the Claude Makelele of programming, and for those not familiar with soccer I guess Dennis Rodman would be a close comparison.

Without the likes of Makelele and Rodman teams like early to mid-2000s Real Madrid and the 1990s Chicago Bulls would have had way less trophies and wins (the Real Madrid of that era was even nicknamed galacticos/galactics because of the amount of soccer stars they had among their ranks) .
In principle, I would agree with you, but the biggest problem is that the whole C++ ecosystem works the opposite way.

The main reason people use C++ over safer languages like Java is performance (memory, CPU speed, real-time constarints etc). And C++ the language is designed for performance, but only with an expectation of a very powerful optimizing compiler. Most C++ std classes are extraordinarily slow and inefficient if compiled without optimizations - certainly much slower than Java for example.

So, C++ is not really C++ without aggressive optimizing compilers. And one of the biggest tools that compiler writers have found to squeeze performance out of C++ code is relying on UB not to happen. That essentially gives the optimizer some ability to reason locally about global behavior: "if that value were nullptr, this would be UB, so that value can't be nullptr so this check is not necessary". And this often extends to the well defined semantics of standard library classes outside their actual implementation - which rely on exceptions.

So, to get defined behavior out of the std classes in the absence of exceptions, either you disable many optimizations entirely, or you carefully write the optimizer to have different logic based on the no-exceptions flag. But, all C++ comittee members and C++ compiler writers believe exceptions are The Right Way, for every situation. So getting them to do quite a lot of work to support someone doing the wrong thing would be very hard.
very nearly, but not quite.
[citation needed]

That's just the same handwavey reason as given in the article. Where is the evidence that this will actually result in any significant amounts of optimization that wouldn't be possible without making everything (slightly) slower for end users.

Not true. PyTorch has had an MPS backend[1] for Apple Silicon for quite some time now. And lately, they've also added a HIP backend[2] for AMD hardware. I've written CUDA kernels for PyTorch in the past, it'd have been a lot easier if PyTorch were a thin wrapper over CUDA, but it isn't.
