I wanted to share a blog post I wrote, about transitioning teams in NVIDIA from working on self-driving, to working on generative AI and large language models (LLMs). I intend to post more frequently about applications of LLMs/GenAI in various domains, based on the work I am doing. Feedback on this post and suggestions on what I could write about are greatly appreciated!
At first I thought this was the 48GB card that had been rumored for a while, but it turns out it's just a sanctions-compliant RTX 6000 Ada for export to China.

My startup is almost near to fail
I with my friend built a mvp version of your tech product. It was unique and very helpful for students. We gained 500+ users in one week and done some small sales. But problem with our startup was that, it was really dependant to copyrighted material. The creators of those materials never give permission to use. They are an educational materials that includes book parts and audios. So as a founders, what would you recommend to do? So far there is no problem with our work but I feel like, in future there surely be.
On what car? My brother in laws Rivian gets about 1-2 miles per hour, pulling 12A@110V from our garage.

This is a way to sign an image while it's still in a camera. The signature is simply a way to strongly assert that an image is as the camera saw it in the raw.

I saw it as a way for Law Enforcement to prove an evidence photo was not doctored.
From the data sheet:

https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-design-viz-stories-ep/pro...

* NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture-based CUDA Cores: 14,080

* NVIDIA fourth-generation Tensor Cores: 440

* NVIDIA third-generation RT Cores: 110

* Single-precision performance: 69.3 TFLOPS

* RT Core performance: 160.2 TFLOPS

* Tensor performance: 1108.4 TFLOPS

Seems like it'd be in between the 4080 and 4090 raw power wise, but with double the memory of the 4090?

I expect that references to his work exist elsewhere, and NPR is still going to acknowledge a request to know if he worked there, or if a particular piece of work was played by them. You do not need your work to remain publicly available online for people to accept that it was performed.
Companies are entirely driven by money. If one person chooses not to patronize the business it probably won't change anything. But ehst if a hundred do? Or a hundred thousand?

Agree or disagree with the politics behind it, Budweiser was absolutely rocked by a large enough number of customers deciding to no longer buy their product.

The comparison is absolutely valid from where I sit. One vote or one customs makes little to no difference. Enough people raising their voice, though, can fundamentally shake the system.
Pinning to a specific version doesn't protect against the author unpublishing that version.

The problem with the `*` bug is that it means you can stop anyone from unpublishing future versions of their package by simply creating a package that depends on it with a `*` identifier and publishing that to the registry.
Why does he even need to apologize? If anything, npm should apologize and thank him for revealing a huge issue in their unpublishing policies unmaliciously.
I thought Gina Raimondo warned them to cut it out?

That’s a lazy critique. It’s a Commonwealth thing. If you really believe all Commonwealth countries are authoritarian, there’s not much I can say here that would convince you otherwise.

Anyways, I don’t deny there are pluses and minuses. The situation of the person in this article (if the facts are as reported) is unfortunate, and I’d hope that the ministry would intervene if push really came to shove.
This statement makes no sense. It has never been safer to fly, precisely because aviation is so dedicated to root cause analysis.

A whole door exploded out of a plane and

1. The plane did not suffer structural damage and could land safely
2. Nobody died because seat belts are mandatory
3. The crew is drilled over and over on what to do
4. The plane has extensive monitoring and logging so RCA is easier
5. The US funds a whole org dedicated to investigating this sort of thing and the results are public

and that's just the ones I can think of.

This is shocking precisely because aviation is so good at this. There are multiple layers in the swiss cheese model and this somehow made it past them.
I left a job where I tried my hardest to make it work.

The last few jobs in a row I entered with a specific, singular objective: “I vow I am not going to get into conflicts with people again.”

I try my hardest, and it doesn’t work.

A big problem is I hyper produce and hyper focus. I am juggling 18 balls and the “get along with people” ball eventually drops and when it does, it’s game over.

I have extreme capabilities for work but it also exhausts and overwhelms me.

I get extremely exhausted from thinking all the time, I am highly obsessive and always running my engine chewing over things mentally.

So I never rest.

And what inevitably happens is that I make social mistakes, and when I do - That’s the start of the end.
> The creators of those materials never give permission to use.

Not to be glib, but I think that's where things went wrong...?

I'm not a founder, but "relying" on copyrighted materials is bound to fail sooner or later.
Can anybody explain the fundamental issue with the original reach out from the Carta employee?

There are PDFs you can fill out yourself and either paper or e-file, but very, very do it. It's not really hard for most people. Probably 40% of people can put their wages in box 1 and be done. But most people's eyes would glaze over at seeing a 1040.

Every February everybody who paid you or got paid tax-deductibly mails you a form with the finals amounts for last year. On the back are instructions for where it goes on the forms.

The basics are simple, but few people really understand taxes at all let alone care to look at the forms. Instead probably 70% of people go to an accountant and give them the forms to punch into a program which generates the IRS forms and e-files them. Cheap places are maybe $100, but complicated returns at good accountants run like $500.

The other option most people who "do their own taxes" do is to purchase a yearly license to software which you can punch the numbers into yourself and it'll generate and e-file a return for you. It's like $50–$70 normally but some are free.

Most complications arise either from:

* You run your own business and have to do two returns basically without getting nice filled forms for all the numbers.
* Congress constantly wants to incentivize behaviors and give people breaks on their taxes so there are a lot of little things you can get credits for like having kids and buying electric vehicles. It's really easy to miss deductions you're entitled to.
* States have their own separate taxes, so you have to do everything twice and lots of programs have less support and make you pay extra too.
I have a prescription. I just asked my doctor and showed them a few papers I was reading and they wrote a prescription.

Because of its safety and cost, they didn’t really care.
The article is a must-read for anyone interested in pursuing a career in generative AI. It offers insightful, detailed information and practical advice that can be incredibly beneficial for those seeking job opportunities in generative AI. Highly recommended!
Hot uranium threatens a meltdown for Western energy security
The public schools I attended while growing up did not have funding for advanced classes. Students who were far ahead in classes with the “gen pop” were pushed into the role of unofficial teacher aides, charged with helping our struggling peers through the class content. It was hugely demoralizing as a student and discouraged doing well.
No, double checked:

> Poisoning attacks occur in the training phase by introducing corrupted data.

The distinction matters because poisoning (and all other listed attacks) impact the quality of the product and their users: I’d argue that AI providers are already incentivized to fix those. Whereas if say a hypothetical company ClosedAI is providing scammers/spammers with daily fresh loads of crap to use outside of the platform they simply make money from that. In other words, they have a first-order-incentive to be suppliers for these grey/bad actors. I guess this would be similar to the relationship between ad-platforms and scammy/shady advertisers.
I suppose I’ll never really know since there’s not a me that’s not taking it.

But it’s less than a dollar a month and doesn’t have any negative effects so I’m comfortable risking it has no effect.

Obviously in this context it refers to "blockchain, NFTS, metaverse".
From the article: "Deep-sea ecosystems could be destroyed for metals that will only be needed for a few more years."

I doubt this.

Can someone please prove me wrong?

What metal(s) have we mined in the past that we no longer need? I'm looking for any metal that we used to use that now we no longer use because we do not need it with our ever-expanding population and industrial base.

I'm not referring to metals like lead and mercury that are limited in use due to their toxicity.
Yeah. I use lgogdownloader to do this in bulk. It's very configurable from the command line. It can be run in Windows with WSL.
FPGAs, but you don't care about propagation delay, so you throw out all the switching fabric and put in latches instead to smooth out the timing.

Upside: everything is pipelined, and memory does compute directly. Should be good for Petaflops
And comes with a price 5 times that of the 4090 for no apparent reason, I assume?
It'd be interesting to see a diffusion model for this.
I personally hit a wall a long time ago and only started making progress when I began to hire coaches to offer neutral 3rd party feedback and are incentivized to actually help you.

My experience is most people in highly competitive environments are peer competitors in some form . The VP above you doesn’t want you to rise and take their job. Your peers don’t want to be surpassed.

Everyone wants to keep you in a certain box.

If you are able to jump completely out of the box ahead of everyone by 10 miles, no one is going to want that.

You will only get negative feedback and told to stop. Or worse.
Mind-blowing!
I imagine if you compared the number of injuries to the distance travelled, or even trips taken, cars would come out way ahead.

What really surprised me was the 285W TGP.

That's mighty impressive considering that the previous generation equivalent (the RTX A6000) used 300W at less than 60% the (theoretical) performance.
When temptation strikes, deferring that temptation is an act of will. Saying "not yet" and "not now" doesn't make it any easier and feels no different from "no" to the part of your brain that's craving it.

Most people have to have that cigarette/drug/etc right away, present conditions be damned. Distancing one's mind from the strong craving requires immense self-control as it's very uncomfortable, perhaps even painful, to do so.

You need another tool. Often people use distraction, look over here at this shiny thing. Perhaps this is what you used, if you think back on your experience. Distraction is essentially a type of substitution.
Doesn't seem to have pricing info anywhere obvious online, but yeah it probably is because "professional market" plus "its the only high end part they're allowed to get in China now". ;)

> à new test to assess the constitutionality of gun laws by holding they must be "consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation."

This is the piece I find disconcerting. It effectively bans any legislation short of a constitutional amendment, as roughly tautologically any law that changes firearm regulation is not in keeping with existing regulations.

I wonder if this could be used later to find expansions of gun rights unconstitutional because they're not in keeping with existing regulations?
I had a try on a few traces; the random two-choice algorithm is only better when there is a big scan, and the LRU miss ratio curve shows a cliff. In all other cases, it is worse than LRU eviction.

>It will apply to retailers with 500 or more employees across their California stores.

I'm trying to think of what stores it would even apply to other than Wal-mart or Target? What other large chain stores even sell toys?

It does seem extremely performative either way. I wonder if those stores will change their aisle design for toys or just get rid of the toys completely, if they are worried they could be sued if they do it wrong.
> It's perfectly possible for a market with 10 or 20 competitors to stop competing for mutual benefit.

As I remember it, the empirical research says two competitors can keep a stable monopoly cartel going for a long time. three can maybe do it for a while. With larger numbers things get very unstable.
I saw somewhere that quote mentioned, and then someone had a link to a later article where she walked it back quite a bit.

I used a feature phone for several years, and held on to it for as long as possible. It was based on KaiOS (formerly FirefoxOS) and in fact, a neighbor of mine had a very similar phone that included an app store. Mine didn't, but still integrated with Google properties such as Mail and Calendar. Not very well.

It did include a web browser, and I could visit web pages using mobile data or WiFi. The browser was very limited but usable, with some zooming and panning available.

I appreciated the constraints and security of that sort of phone, but once I upgraded to a smartphone I was immediately addicted.
I will say this for the final time - your detailed, hostile examination of minor points is irrelevant to the main point here. The plane may have come to a stop in twenty seconds or thirty or thirty-five but that has no bearing on my argument. Both eight minutes and eighteen are too long to evacuate an aircraft on fire; a few seconds more or less are a rounding error. Your citation of AC797 is yet another example of important a rapid evacuation is: it took ninety seconds for the aircraft to flash over and kill the remaining souls on board. When seconds count, you don't have eight minutes or eighteen or seventeen-forty-five-and-three quarters.

QF32 did not crash, it came down impressively softly - less than a quarter of the tires blew. FR5542 could be called a crash, I wouldn't, but you could. The landing of B6292 was described as "smooth". In those cases it would be obvious not to evacuate, but even if you did it would be hard to imagine even one death. To keep it simple - I have laid out several examples where delayed evacuation cost hundreds of lives. You have not managed to cite a single life lost by an evacuation triggered too early, not even one that would be lost in the various hypotheticals you posed.

I think we simply have different conclusions about the relative risks involved here, and it will take a lot to convince each other, so it's probably best to leave this argument here.
You don't have a UPS store, or PO Boxes at the Post Office?

Sure, it's a pain collecting mail every few days, but at least you keep your home address private.
I remember connecting a VHS video camera directly to a cathode-ray tube (CRT) teve to produce funky patterns back in the 80's.

You did it in a pitch dark room, aimed the camera towards the teve, and have someone briefly light a lighter in between. That generated a visual feedback loop.

By rotating the camera upside down, the feedback loop would introduce systematic effects, because the camera's vertical scan is now opposite to the teve's swipe. It would create random, constantly changing, colorful, spiraling patterns.

You could move your hands in front to adjust the patterns and control the brightness that could increase due to the feedback loop.

Stunning, cool, and fun.
I spent more than a decade being suicidally depressed.

I only learned about Aspergers way later in life due to YouTube and realized it explained everything about my problems and alienation.

From some of the coaches on YouTube, they talk about how this is a pattern that shows up a lot with Aspergers - At some point people get so fed up with everything about life, relationships, work and schools not working specifically for YOU.

Aspergers individuals have a particularly hard time with jobs, it is very common for them to have employment challenges.
That looks like a substantially better product than the original post. Can we get an updated version of that one instead?

This one stood out since, though shootings have taken place at churches, the Texas gunman who got one shot off before a fellow church goer shot him stuck out in my mind.

These laws are always nothing more than virtue signaling if the establishment doesn't already include searches to enter. All you've done is increase the chances that the gunman is the only one with a gun.

Honestly I don't even know the mental gymnastics you have to go through to think it does anything at all. What's the argument exactly? We already outlawed shooting people.
Like I said, you’re pitching my argument as, “People feeling bad is not valid.” This isn’t what I said.

At this point, only someone who wants to fight would read what I wrote as you have. A more reasonable interpretation of what I’ve written would be that sentiment may not be entirely associated with economic safety. “It is unlikely that sentiment would improve if unemployment dropped further”, would be a good illustration of my argument, for example (a point you alluded to elsewhere in this submission).

I recommend trying to read what I wrote with a less aggressive agenda, because the way you’re approaching this interaction is too hostile for a reasonable person to presume positive intent. It seems more likely to involve your own bad mood than anything I’ve actually written.

Not at all. Even without minimum wage or low income subsidies, there would be things like price stickiness. This widespread assertion that markets are somehow fully efficient is essentially a piece of misguided faith. If it were true, it's likely that P would be equivalent to NP and central planning would actually work.
If you work at a company that grants and manages options through Carta, is there a way as an employee to opt out and manage options some other way? Is there any way to go back to paper stock certificates and options exercise agreements?

I'm utterly ignorant about this, I think every tech company I've worked at that offered options has used it, and I've often wondered how things worked before it existed.
Direct or semi direct sales are a must. You can’t compete without it Tesla has 2x the margin because of that
What a petty response.

I was expecting more of a statement: Carta does not spam or solicit our customers’ investors. In this case, there was a salesperson who broke our rules, and they have been terminated. We apologize for the mistake. Please contact your account rep if you have any concerns.
I'm sorry, but there is no chance that the automake/autoconf suite of tools has caused less pain than `npm install`.

It's mostly inconsequential. Small fines per offense, and the only requirement is a "reasonable selection" of toys in a non gender-specific aisle. I'm guessing most retailers already comply since many toys are inherently gender neutral.

Just woke virtue signaling, not super important.
