I think that running AI on device is the clear next step in the world of super powerful portable phones/devices. I have a 2021 model phone with very powerful specs (granted it is the high end model that I got used). With nearly the same RAM and storage as some of my laptops from a few years ago, I see that Apple might want to offload some of their expensive AI apps to these powerful user devices.

I see this also as a privacy win as I don't want any of my data being used for training. I also like to have control over what models I use and the ethics the models follow.
Google is doing the exact same with RCS that has their proprietary e2ee layer on top that no one is allowed to use besides Samsung and themselves.

On top of that they’re acting like spoiled children used to getting their way, pointing fingers, because they ‘lost’ the instant messaging war.
Sure, but one hopes that a national brand takes care to avoid any type of contamination that might cause a scare on the level of the Tylenol scandal in the 80s. A generic making 20-some store brands might be more lax.

For me, the issue is it's hostile to Apple users - too.

Ie i can't use the message platform i pay for on many of my devices unless every single one of them is Apple. I use Beeper to use iMessage from my Linux desktop.
You often need a car at your destination and renting can be an expensive pain. There is also the issue of feeling unsafe on public transport.

>tbh waymo's ceo said what I said here: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/alphabet-google-waymo-ceo...

All the CEO said was that he thinks autonomous driving won't work in every condition or ever be perfect, and that they're always finding and working through unique challenges. That's quite a bit different from "our cars only work on straight lines and with 365 days of sun".
Traffic and travel time is a much smaller concern when you can be watching Netflix instead of making sure you don't hit, or get hit by anyone.
Absolutely, designing a mix for today's demand is guaranteed failure.

Designing a mix for a target date with predicted demand characteristics actually has a shot at working. We can make quantified statements about distribution estimates for demand that includes quantified variability and create a mix target that meets our tolerance for risk, cost, and sustainability.

I frankly think that armchair debate over solar vs nuclear - which is 99% of these discussions - has exactly zero probability at arriving at an optimal mix. Pigeon, chessboard, &c.
Yeah, we discourage production changes starting first or second december week, and start freezing changes third december week until it's frozen solid fourth december week until second week of january.

December tends to be hell for our customers, so stability should be a priority there.

And honestly, no one wants to work on holidays. So lets just wrap everything starting in december, maybe use the third week for some unnoticed issues and then just lay down the tools. Use that time for documentation, or shorter days, quite frankly.

That way we minimize the on-call situations occuring. Let's hope it goes well for the engineer this year as well. We have a streak to keep.
30% of the billions per year made by all the casino games on the app store is a tremendous amount of money. Just a single title like Fate Grand Order or Genshin Impact brings in over $1B every year. There are dozens of titles like them and hundreds more that bring in $100m+/year.
>even if the turn around time in semi market is longer, the way they faltered on their Arc timelines and no encouraging signs of their new fab nodes is not commendable!

Sure, Intel fucked up along the way, and it's easy to point fingers and laugh from the comfort of the armchair at Intel tripping over massively complex engineering challenges, but if designing and building successful GPUs and sub-7nm fabs was easy, everyone would be doing it.
Different business units often want aggregate, filter, join and transform data in different ways - sometimes in ways that are hard to anticipate.

In general, the closer to the persistence layer you can perform those transformations, the better they will scale. If you pull the transform into the app layer, you need to move and serialize more data. If you pull the transformation into a constellation of apps, you need to move and serialize a constellation of data.

Borat was right
I announced a downtime for a smallish GPU Cluster starting from christmas eve just a few hours ago. It is just the perfect time to schedule a day or two of downtime for a system like that. And if IPMI doesn't fail me, I can get a lot of things done without leaving the comfort of my home. I scheduled this without pressure from my boss. It was a totally voluntary decision... While being raised as a Christian, this time of the year is for me more about solstice then about the Christian clelbration. A time to enjoy the comfort of a heated home. A time to celebrate that the days are going to be longer from now on again. A time to reflect on the past year. And all of this is easily done while having a few terminals open and waiting for remote stuff to complete...
> I hate this kind of math because it really doesn't tell you much.

It tells you enough: Europe, more specifically Germany, builds HSR for about 40 million euros a kilometer [1].

This project here is 8 billion dollars for about 3.2km, or about 2.500 million dollars a kilometer - that is three orders of magnitude more expensive than Germany.

I live in the Northeast, what "decent rail system" are you talking about?

Acela takes 3h44m from Boston to New York. Not much faster than the scheduled buses (4h15m) and comparable to driving the distance in your own car (3h55m if you stick to the speed limits)

Wait, are you suggesting that people shouldn’t be allowed revert Wikipedia contributions? That would, er, swiftly leave it rather pointless.
Fuck all, is what.

People are far too happy to embrace surveillance and embrace censorships in the name of "think of the cause du-jour".

Even advocating free speech one has to worry about being painted as an alt-right 'freeze peach' kook.

I remember my science teacher telling us they used to use mercury in the class and he'd wonder if any of his old students were walking around cuckoo because of it.
Yeah. We had an autonomous bus here--involved in an accident the very first day that wouldn't have happened with a human driver. The bus just sat there and let a truck back into it.

I also wonder how it fares in a Kobayashi Maru scenario. I chose to cream a construction cone because the guy in the left turn lane went straight. (Admittedly, I think he didn't realize he was in the left turn lane.) I could see the cone wasn't actually protecting anything, could a car do so?

There are advantages to not trusting the prevailing industry wisdom and trying things out on your own.

like with Tesla they're ahead of other companies in multiple ways, but still behind in some aspects as well.
Of course they will. They are busy rewriting history under Kremlin directives.
I think you're on to something, but tangled in the implementation.

I see this as capture of processes -- their invocation, context, and results -- in a relatively normalized form for analysis and re-use.

There are many possible applications based on analyzing these: automatically creating, porting, or refactoring code, showing that foreign code or ports are behaving as expected, providing audit trails, etc. Any environment where code is typically prototyped then hoisted into some kind of workflow container is a candidate.

No one likes to have this level of intrusion or monitoring, but everyone seems to accept running code in containers, so if this were built in to the container, it might be easily deployed and widely accepted.

To me the way to proceed could be to generate a bunch of pseudo-data and start prototyping use-cases based on analyzing the data (or monitoring the stream). The general themes would be in the realm of software evolution, to productize prototypes, refactor legacy bloatware to MVP, model the effect of selectively changing subsystems, etc. Sure, this might benefit the programmer, but it could also be of interest to managers or senior developers helping juniors level up their code. Once you have some valuable use-cases, you'll know more about your deployment targets and business model (OS-freemium?).

As for workflow comparables, the original MPW (Macintosh programmers workshop) used the text document for input, output, and commands in a kind of early notebook (perhaps following mathematica notebooks of the time). And Eclipse as an extensible IDE has a number of terminal window and command integrations with UI, following emacs. I could even see this as a python context manager in a notebook.

A more narrow goal based on the current implementation could be to build and maintain a library of bash functions or scripts, possibly shared by a team. Monitor and capture results, then let developer select a series of commands to wrap, with your tool providing help with capturing, documentation, generating precondition checks, browsable/html cross-linked docs, etc.

But generally I wouldn't try to recreate notebooks or IDE's for bash. My goal is always to migrate any bash that gets big to a language with types, error-handling, logging, etc.

Very likely the plastic used by first world people is much more, but much less of it ends up in waterways.

At least for me, it’s an order of magnitude easier to throw plastic into a trash bin than to drive down to the river and dump it in.
The writer's recent articles are largely about romance, the article subheading includes "But the weirdest family role is a vital one.", followed by the photo of the boy paying attention to the girl the same age... So I was wondering whether this article was heading towards Les Cousins Dangereux.
That's great. Now I can read the papers on my phone.
You wouldn't have to bribe me to opt for gas.

In the past 20 years I've lived through two natural disasters that disrupted residential electrical service for more than a week. While electric utilities struggled to restore service, our gas fireplace gave emergency heat, our gas stove top cooked our food, and our gas water heater made our home the destination for our neighbors to get a hot shower. (The neighbors had gas water heaters too, but the high-efficiency kind that won't light the pilot if 120v isn't present.)

Besides the practical benefits, gas energy is significantly cheaper than electric, a distinct advantage as prices inflate.
Apple has been rumored to be working toward MicroLED displays in their products for a while, popular opinion is that the Apple Watch will be the first one to make the jump like they did with OLED.

Now that they have the Apple Watch Ultra at $800 and in comparatively low volume (I assume), I won't be surprised if it shows up in the next version of that, then makes its way to phones and elsewhere.
That's a pretty personal take; don't take that shame on yourself. Stick to the usual, comfortingly impersonal "Obviously, Intel is dead and buried and all their management sucks and they ruined the world" whenever Intel has announced a setback any time in the last 50 years. No one has a blanket "we don't hire losers from Intel" policy; it's not like you worked at CA or Oracle.
They don't sell copies of Android to end users for a total of $92b per year. The vast majority of that revenue comes from exploiting customers (via their data, ad targeting, etc) and business partners (via taxes and things resembling monopolist tactics).

This is the chart I'm talking about: https://cdn.ihsmarkit.com/www/images/0722/global-battery-cel...

The green bar is actual production (the figure that actually matters). The gray bar is production capacity. Notice how the green bar is one third to one half that of the gray bar? This is why it's important to distinguish between production capacity and actual production figures.

The way you're conflating production capacity with actual production is exaggerating the availability of batteries by a factor of 2 to 3.
Which intel chips are second to none, and by what metric?
Ah, I see. Let me clarify. The amount of spending until it opens is at least $8 billion. It will then cost more through its usable life.

Therefore, you're right. It will cost tens of billions once maintenance is included. As a comparison for how much benefit will be gained, presently 12000 people board transit at the 4th and King station every day.

I suppose it's my fault for having underestimated the total cost of this section of CA HSR. But perhaps you can link some of your analyses that include these various numbers for other projects and then we can put together one such analysis in these comments together.
Fair enough. I'm obviously just speculating here and my knowledge of the US legal system is hearsay.

However, it seems that Beeper effectively got what they wanted (bipartisan calls for regulatory action against Apple, and lots of media coverage over the issue) without any lawyers being involved.
> So does every app maker. Next

Every major tech player is dying to attain, or retain hold on, their platform monopolies so they can leech of third party developers by controlling access to customers. All of them are guilty.
And then you will have to scroll both top bottom and left right, a even worst experience.

> Since iMessage is the default messaging app, few iPhone users bother installing anything else.

Moreso, there's no such thing as a default messaging app, just like there's no default phone dialer. The system handles telco messaging and calls.

But there's also no real limitations elsewhere as long as you aren't requesting SMS/MMS specifically. I can send an image to someone via Signal just as easily as I can via iMessage - they show up in the same lists.

This is different from cross-vendor standard protocols like email, where you may want a mailto: link to compose a mail in the app the user actually has configured. For mail you can configure a default application.
On the contrary, Siri already works perfectly (or rather, used to work) for a lot of things... It's just Apple keeps on randomly changing stuff, and every time they change something, shit breaks.

"Hey Siri, good evening" - "I turned on the `good morning` scene."

"Hey Siri, timer five minutes" - "I set an alarm for seventeen hundred hours"

"Hey Siri, weather" - turns on the lights in the bathroom

I wish I was joking or exaggerating... The last thing I need is an LLM, just please fix the obvious problems and then maybe iterate on that

Detective Jeff Payne was fired by SLC PD, remained unapologetic. Went to the next county north and hired at the County Jail. He then sued SLC and the PD for wrongful termination, arguing that his bodycam footage was misleading and that he was following direction of a supervisor.

The simpler, calmer point to make is: just don't non-ironically use the term "rootless cosmopolitan" on HN.
I'm saying the bad things american cops do are also things all the non-american cops do. The bad things are part of police, not the US. We may let them go farther than is the norm in similarly wealthy countries but they don't get up to qualitatively different stuff.
The only "synergy" that has come from AMD-Xilinx is that AMD took a (relatively simple) DSP for machine learning that Xilinx had built and put it into their newer CPU lines. That's still better than Intel-Altera, which basically didn't integrate at all, despite having grandiose plans.
Ask HN: Are there founders who would like help "letting go"?
I've been a founder and worked for founders and I know all too well that the micromanagement that comes from something being your baby is very real. Combined with Type A, ambitious people who are used to succeeding, and it's a lethal.

I've developed a personal conclusion that the big reason some really amazing, talented founders I know haven't achieved what they wanted at their startups is because they can't let go adequately, and as a result, they're not getting the leverage they need from the team to go from 0-1.

I've spent a long time working on this for myself - developing specific tips & tricks to catch and manage my micromanagement, and I'm curious if any other founders would find this kind of help and support useful?

I've been waiting for the dust to settle, but i imagine i'll do the same. Are you able to automate that registration process? Does it require anything manual?

Which is precisely what they deserve
I am cautiously optimistic, but the reality is these models are huge. LLama 7b is 13g. Even if there is enough cpu cycles, the phone's storage can't support multiple models (and there will need to be multiple models).

Compare that to cloud, you can run the latest and greatest model and effectively unlimited storage.
Exactly this. Anything individuals can do will be undone by state actors and social media and other corporations who are pressured by state actors.

I disagree: "terrifying" accurately sums up the future we're hurtling straight towards. I worry about people who are not worried, personally.
Show HN: Local fine tuning for Mistral and SDXL, GPU mem/latency optimization
100% bootstrapped new startup. It lets you fine tune Mistral-7B and SDXL. In particular, for the LLM fine tuning we implemented a dataprep pipeline that turns websites/pdfs/doc files into question-answer pairs for training the small LLM using an big LLM.

It includes a GPU scheduler that can do finegrained GPU memory scheduling (Kubernetes can only do whole-GPU, we do it per-GB of GPU memory to pack both inference and fine tuning jobs into the same fleet) to fit model instances into GPU memory to optimally trade off user facing latency with GPU memory utilization

It's a pretty simple stack of control plane and a fat container that runs anywhere you can get hold of a GPU (e.g. runpod).

100%. My father in law has spent a lot of time in industrial space and he told me they setup dual buttons for some machines so you are required to press them both with both hands. This prevents them from having a free arm at risk.

You have to prevent people from going rogue, otherwise they will.
Also light years ahead when the cloud access isn’t available or spotty in an elevator, the middle of the lake, a parkade, travelling with cellular turned off and wifi is on.
It’s a very expensive and very fragile piece of infrastructure that would be hard to maintain in the best of circumstances. It would be easily sabotaged by those seeking to do harm which would make it even more egregiously expensive to defend.

I wager there is literally zero chance that Apple will let you have any freedom in the model used, and there's zero chance that you'll be using anything except the Siri_Model unless you hack your iDevice.

Just like there is 1 app store and 1 assistant, Apple will fight forcefully to make sure there is 1 AI model.

Nice. So sharing some context. I've found that it is not just about the company but org and teams within.where it can vary a lot. Even in faangs there is a very high level of lip service and worse the amount of passive aggressiveness and gas lighting that goes on is unbelievable. It's almost like systems are in place to track this and get back to you at the right time! Very mechanized.

He's wrong. What if that car ahead just got there and is moving far below your velocity? And there's the case of where the car ahead stopped in a fashion a car can't--ran into something massive or the like. Under standard driving conditions if the car in front of you is involved in a head-on at speed you're going to hit it. 2 second following distance assumes the car ahead is subject to the same physics you are.
Beeper is done fighting with Apple over iMessage for Android
It also shows that the privacy campaign is just a business tactic.

That shouldn’t come as a surprise of course, but the Apple reality distortion field is real so I think it’s worth noting.
Ok, I'll bite - how does one go about sourcing that? I have a similar ethic when it comes to DIY medicine, and do order some from alldaychemist.com, but they are a bit limited in selection. I'm assuming someone dealing in ADHD medication is a bit less public than that however (and as such a name would not be shared on a public forum like this), and I wonder how one goes about finding a reputable seller.
