I think the tensor core in the 4090 really help, and of course CUDA supporting every hardware they offer (cough cough, rocm) means that researchers are going to start there.

That said, I think Apple will have some interesting stuff in a year or two (M4 or more likely M5) where they can flex their NPU, Accelerate framework, and unified memory GPU and have it work with more modern requirements.

Time will tell what their software and hardware story is for local inference for generative AI.

Siri (dictation, some assistant stuff, and TTS) runs on device, and I doubt they want to undo that.

I doubt they will do much for training, but maybe a NUMA version of a MacPro with several M4 Ultras will prove me wrong?

Visual Basic GUIs were suitable for internal apps and tools and indeed easy to develop but that’s about it. There were many shortcomings to this technology and commercial apps werent built in VB. Their simplicity and ease of use are only useful as a contrast to today’s landscape. However, so many things have changed too, desktops not only try to be tablets, the web took the center stage and UI design also has become a confused mishmash of ideas.

> compiler bugs... its fair to ignore those when discussing the language in the abstract

When the language is defined as whatever the compiler does, as it is in the case of Rust, I'm not so sure.

If there were a Rust standard with multiple compliant compilers, I'd be more convinced, but Rust isn't there yet.

(And TRF's trademark policy may well prevent it from ever getting there.)

Plus two years for software support by the broader ecosystem.

Even Windows, with Cuda + drivers, suffers from less support.
It's a combination of 3 things:

* Parts are fundamentally declarative and parts are fundamentally imperative. This applies both to the abstract problem, and the approach taken in particular toolkits, and the border is not in the same place.

* The state involved is stored in at least 2 places which are distant from each other, and that opens all sorts of logic and timing problems.

* The same GUI framework gets used both for "wait for an event" UIs and "update every frame" UIs.

Abstraction is hard.
Sure, but maintaining a video game - depending on the type of game - could be anywhere from a full time job to a few hours a week. Is a few hours a week worth an extra $500/mo? Yea, probably. And with network effect of games, it's possible that $500 grows to $5000 over time and you really can think about replacing your actual job.

It sounds like this was a passion project, not something intended to replace a full time job, though.

Also, you are absolutely correct that learning "atomic units" in isolation is not good practice. What I'm thinkin here is to get some tools to collect the data for "what". The "how" of the learning needs to happen in context.
The pro-Israel information war - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38572675 - Dec 2023 (1673 comments)

I posted that one, and while it went somewhat well by the standards of such a controversial topic, it was still contentious and had a lot of bad feeling. I submitted it because there was a nexus to both the dynamics of influence operations and individual movers and shakes in the SV community.

In general I think submitting on a topic like this requires some sort of hacker-specific angle - involving people in the industry, or the impact of technological change, or a new dynamic emerging from some unexpected source (eg cheap consumer-tech drones in the Ukraine conflict).

It's not that other topics shouldn't be discussed on HN, anything sufficiently unusual to be news cn be worth a look. But we should also be mindful that if the community can't provide more than baseline insight/expertise on a trending news topic, the resulting discussion will probably be shallow and have little value.
Those two books came to me at a time when I was very receptive to and in need of their messages, and I'm still digesting them a year later.

Apple silicon is good but it’s designed for a portable. Even the studio and Mac Pro are just laptop chips stitched together. They gotta use heavy duty gear to do heavy duty shit. I know they have a soured relationship with nvidia tho so I would like to see them bolster the AMD/rocm ecosystem. Chances are they’re working on their own stuff here too, though. They are sitting on billions of dollars of liquid cash so I’d imagine they’re using that for some serious R&D.
Being able to take shortcuts using your knowledge might lead to not acquiring all the fundamentals you'd usually pick up along the way.

> you can't just slip that one in like it's some anodyne proposition that no reasonable person objects to.

It's not that no reasonable person can oppose abortion (the objection doesn't even need to be religious in nature), it's that no reasonable person opposes abortion because it's infanticide and opposes all post-natal support policies which is the case in almost all the states that have banned abortion.

Hell take a look at the list of states ranked by child mortality and abortion states lead the way by a mile. Welfare and education for mothers and their young children? Rejected. Food stamps? Fuck that.

Now there's plenty of debate to be had about the effectiveness and fiscal efficiency of these policies, but anti-abortion states soundly reject the vast majority of them and leave mothers and their children to fend for themselves. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but we don't have to respect their opinions if they are nakedly hypocritical.

i'm kinda hesitant to say most of them. Like I said, they sound silly and reductive at first. And none of them is exactly what people here will find interesting. One thing he said that a game becomes engaging when 'things that were once hard, is now easy'. I like the formulation cause it works on just right abstraction level. It lends to many interpretation and it works as long as the 'rule' is satisfied. And I've obsessed over it and just how true it is. Another thing he said that fantasy is about 'sky upon sky'. Which is one of the more abstract things he said. I swear I was fuming when he said it with such elation as if he's discovering electricity. The refusal to elaborate was also infuriating, as if I was supposed to understand what he meant. And I did, eventually. The abstraction works perfectly, at least for me...
> I’m always amazed at how many people insist the world is round, but can’t explain how we know that.

I've played a few times this game with people on a topic that generates strong feelings (climate change) enough to keep play for awhile, and I have yet to find someone going further than "scientists say". Each person wasn't able to cite a single name of a scientist or paper.

In general there is a lot of assumed "knowledge" about everything everywhere and it's better not asking questions because it can make people really angry.

Yes, this is the most important point and I think somehow least present in even discussions here: the technical question of who produces the best/cheapest LLM/future architecture is considerably less important than who, if anyone, creates a fundamentally new and dominant consumer experience built on AI. Most of the existing players (Google, Meta) would of course prefer that nobody produces such a newly dominant paradigm of computation for end-users since it would greatly reduce their relevance and subsequently revenues. Right now, ChatGPT is the only real contender in this space. However, I think you’re correct that it’s actually Apple who is most likely to be the next who attempts such a paradigm shift. Far too early to bet, but let’s say I wouldn’t be surprised if in five years we end up in a world in which Apple has the consumer monopoly and Microsoft the business monopoly, with Google and Meta falling into irrelevance.

They are ubiquitous today, but at one time each limited liability corporation was individually created by a unique law passed by the legislature, for a specific purpose--often infrastructure projects--and with a fixed lifetime unless renewed again by another law.
The problem is that's untenable; any nontrivial program will have unsafe somewhere

I'm up to 47,000 lines of Rust with no "unsafe". The main program starts with

#![forbid(unsafe_code)]

and that applies to the entire program, although not external crates.
If you're not using foreign functions, you don't need "unsafe".

Some published crates I use do have "unsafe", more than they should. This is annoying.
Another useful technique in understanding a topic is to find is to simple (but nontrivial) examples and make sure one can solve them fully and easily.

Then slowly add complexity from that example to gain insight to more challenging cases.

The problem is, as was mentioned above by someone, all content has to be paid for. If there were no ads we wouldn’t have had TV and radio for the past few decades. 90% of the internet would disappear, and the only stuff left would be paywalled - i.e. only the rich could use the web.

I’m sure you try to avoid ads - I do too, they suck. But don’t pretend you don’t use a lot of websites that are not paid for with ads.

Twitter failed a Motion to Dismiss, which is basically the judge saying "Schobinger's arguments aren't completely bonkers and he may be on to something".

The suggestion to use “blockchain” came from user jongjong, not me. I therefore cannot elaborate on it.

> DNSSEC, by contrast, is 100% a centralized PKI system.

Again, my point is that just because something can have, or has, a central point, does not mean it is “centralized”. The DNSSEC root cannot override individual DNS records on the domain or subdomain levels. DNS (and DNSSEC) is federated; i.e. it delegates absolute authority over sections to others, which can in turn delegate authority for domains to yet other, which can in turn delegate authority over subdomains, and so on.

To make an analogy again: The US federal government does not possess absolute authority over the states. The UN does not possess absolute authority over its member nations (or other nations). Interpol does not possess absolute authority over every police force in the world. And so on.

Nope. $2190 sounds about right. If you don't live in Mission Bay, Rincon Hill, or Cow Hollow that's around how much you can expect a 1 bedroom to be in most neighborhoods.

Most listings are posted on the Property Owner's website (eg. Gaetani, RentSF, etc), not on apartments.com, Zillow, or Craigslist. Those are where us townies fleece transplants.

Before the pandemic, I had a 1 bedroom in Nob Hill for around that much before upgrading to Mission Bay.

Nice, for some reason I never thought about the CONNECT method like a reverse proxy instead of a forward proxy.

However, CONNECT wasn't good enough for me. I did ssh over websocket to bust through a corp proxy (it inspected https connections with a custom CA).

I modified socat to serve my ssh server over websocket through apache. I also used it on the client end with openssh's ProxyCommand. I keep meaning to upload that patch, but there are other options around (websocat, for example).

The problem is theory can be detrimental to real world practice. You may not know how to properly integrate the knowledge you have with what are you trying to learn.
I mean, it at least must not be obvious to the poster that says "the claim does sound too good to be true". But yes anyone with enough of an HPC background can look at how vmap is doing its parallelization and instantly know that ML frameworks like Jax and PyTorch are most likely losing an order of magnitude or two of performance. And of course we are very explicit in the paper that this is not novel because we show that the kernels that we are generating match the performance of MPGOS, which is a CUDA library which has the same architecture.

But of course, all of this discussion leaves off half of the title of the paper, "on Multiple GPU Platforms". The point is not that we are able to generate kernels which are doing the fast thing that a dedicated CUDA library does (i.e. not the slow thing that ML libraries are doing), rather the point is that we are doing this in a way where CUDA is not special. We generate similarly optimized kernels for AMD GPUs, Intel GPUs, and Apple silicon (Metal) using this approach. Mose also showed this same codebase can generate kernels for GraphCore IPUs without modifications too (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fxB0kmcCVE). Showing matching performance with good kernel codes was step 1 but portability (with a full feature set) is step 2. I'd be interested to know if you have any examples of ODE solvers which achieve this level of performance portability because we were unable to find one in the literature or open source.

They work when relative-times are part of the question or mental model the user has when approaching the system.

The internet began in 1969 and by 1992 was by far the largest network of computers and had exactly zero ads and zero paywalls. (The US government imposed a rule against commercial use of the internet to appease private businesses that didn't want competition from the internet. The rule remained in force till 1992.)

Also, you're currently using a very large non-paywalled site with no ads.

So, no, ads are not needed to have a nice internet available to all.
