Why would it not matter? You think just because a mass group prefers one thing, it will have good outcomes? Will/are your kids glued to screens 24/7 because others prefer it? Seems like you may be a lost cause already.

And maybe mass literacy hasn't been around for millenia, but written form of communication and story telling certainly has.
I think this is a consequence of elite takeover of the internet. The culture you describe still exists, but it's largely found in places considered unsavory and uncouth by mainstream organizations.

You're still part of a minority now. Namely the few people that remember what the internet used to be like and still browse it like they used to.

For a large part of users, the internet is not websites, message boards or blogs. It's the four or five content aggregation pages that they got started on, because those invest huge sums of money into keeping people on their platforms. (And into SEO to lead them back to their platforms, should they dare to venture out).

I think the author is very well aware that message boards and blogs still exist. They just don't have a prominent spot in today's internet world anymore. And you bet if any of them dares to produce quality content, it will be ripped and regurgitated ad nauseam on content aggregators like TikTok and Reddit.

There is. Dropping your phone follows a curve, it falling from 16,000ft it does not. There are more forces at play when you fumble your phone. They aren't necessarily stronger forces though...just more of them. Trajectory and spinning add different forces on top of gravity. There is also the catch attempt that invariably forces the phone down harder and changes the trajectory.

This was a fantastic, very clear, write-up on the subject. Thanks for sharing!

If the further optimizations that this change allows, as explained at the end of this post, are covered as well as this one, it promises to be a very interesting series of blog posts.
> Yes. Anything with finite memory is not Turing-complete, and transformers are finite-state machines. So what? Anything with infinite memory is un-buildable.

I think that's missing the point. A Turing Machine description is independent of the memory provided to it by the hardware and it doesn't need to be rewritten every time the hardware improves. That's very different from a FSM which is restricted in memory a priori.

I don't really know enough about transformers to understand where they fit in here, though some reviewers do seem to suggest that allowing transformers access to infinite memory does make them also Turing Complete.
If that were the case, wouldn't simply holding it in your ungloved hand be sufficient?
It wouldn't matter because society is already orienting itself towards a screen-first world. Parents that force their kids to read books and not use screens are almost certainly a minority.

Seems like you may be a lost cause already.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean. I'm describing what I perceive to be a societal shift, not my personal thoughts on whether I think it's good or bad.
It's an X plane, and it's unmanned. If propulsion fails, it will presumably crash in the desert.

Some of the press on this talks about weight savings. If they're really serious about that, well... none of their flights are intended to go above Mach 0.7. Possibly they could deploy a ballistic parachute like Cirrus airplanes offer.

It's not exactly Paris but the SF bay area is one of the best places in the US for walkability. Certainly much of SF, Berkeley, and Oakland are walkable (or at least were when I lived there in 2010!).

And if not walkable, bikable - I biked to a hacker space in Dublin (Ireland, not the BA one) for a while with zero parking but most people walked or biked there. A folding bike meant even less space was necessary.

That's because without any particular individuals to point the finger to, they just blame the monolith of "anonymous individuals".

People have always feared the unknown, and the obvious coping mechanism is to aggregate it into some tangible form, whether it's the Boogeyman, Baba Yaga, the Devil, Anonymous, or any other villain, to be used as a scapegoat.

i think it was a mistake for most sites to disable comments. You just gave away your audience to facebook and tiktok. people are selfish, they like to give feedback and rant about anything. BigTech definitely nudged them away from that and into their garden. Yeah, spam does not scale, but you 'd have to deal with that, things that scale get eaten.

So another option is that there is some reason it's impossible to leave the solar system. Maybe there's something just outside the solar system which we cannot prepare for and won't overcome. Perhaps any life form will run into this issue, which we may never know about, and they stay in one star system.

Could you share what you use to run it on a single 3090? I'd love to try it!
But those are platforms, for some reason this was not seen as a major problem back when we had websites and rss feeds rather then people sharing spaces on a single platform.

There was always an underground of filth(even in the pre-internet days) but unless you sought it out you werent actually exposed to it back in the pre-platform days.

It could be that the platformization is a consequence of people wanting censorship and handing over the curation power to large commercial entities lets people have that to an large enough degree. But it also leeds to a kind of blandification of content as everything have to fit into the model dictated by the platform taking away some venues of creativity(ie no crazy color schemes etc).

Yes? For example that central jet engine that the plane already has?

Doesn't change anything about requiring additional moving parts to control where the compressed air goes and where it goes not. The goal of this entire exercise is not to expel some extra compressed air in places where previously regular outside flow happened, the goal is to control the plane by changing when and where that disturbance by extra air happens.
There are washers, or thread lock glue, but it is still a question of correct execution: has the glue been applied? Was the glue batch used before its shelf life? Were the parts degreased before glue application?

Or did anyone decided to cut corners by using an old batch/skipping degreasing/not putting glue because they were late on delivery?
"Cheaper prices to poorer people" is the exact same thing as "more expensive prices to richer people".

Even if the item is "kept at the same price" and poor people get a "discount", the market will still determine which price produces maximum profit. In the long run, it will be more profitable to raise the rich man's price than it would have been if they had to raise a price that was paid by everyone. So in the long run they'll converge on a value which means that the rich pay more, not just that the poor pay less.

(And yes, this applies to coupons, sales, and other forms of price discrimination as well. If coupons were made illegal, and having the coupon actually helped the retailer in the first place, the non-coupon price would be too high for maximum profit and retailers would be forced by the market to lower prices.)
Ah, I see your point now, I thought you meant it to be a direct cause of the torque wrenches themselves to be off. That makes good sense and aligns with my experience.

After manufacturing tension tends to drop over time so starting off with a '+' may not be entirely bad assuming it isn't extreme and that it doesn't cause the materials to deform more than permitted. The way I understand it: you apply a certain torque to a fastener in order to get to minimum levels of tension and friction (which still have an engineering reserve) on the fastener itself to guarantee a seal and to stop the fastener from coming loose, so under-tension is far worse than over-tension as long as the over-tension does not result in damage to fastener or the materials, and the allowed tolerances for over-tension are quite large (up to +150% or so normally before any permanent deformation would occur).

Unless you are using 'stretch' bolts which tend to elongate to accommodate any over-tension to end up with something quite close to the intended value. This stretching tends to be non-elastic so you'd have to replace a stretch bolt every time you unfasten it or there is a pretty good chance that it will break and/or that the threads under the ending position of the nut will have deformed so that they end up being stripped if you refasten them because the nut will travel a bit further on every refastening.
Last time I got a quote at Sierra it was hundreds of dollars for a basic PCB order, but that was 15 years ago. Have they gotten more competitive?

And I’m not saying “every metro should have competitive world class manufacturing of every type”, which is such a strong claim as to feel strawman-ish (but I get the sense you didn’t mean to do so). I do however deeply wish we had Shenzhen-like manufacturing hubs on the east and west coasts.
In my eyes, reddit is the same trash it's always been.
Yes, you can find decent specialized subs here and there but, even then, you have to weed through the trash to get a decent response and keep a thick skin from those who are only there to put you down to make them feel better about themselves.

And that's never going away.
" I don't actually think reading is a great way of communication, it's more just evolutionarily fit compared to speech."

This is a very baffling thing to say. Its like saying "I don't think fish gills are an effective form of breathing for fish, but it just happened to evolve like that." Reading and writing is an amazing way to communicate things that need to span time. Street signs, postcards, books, literally everything around you that is man made likely has some form of writing on it.

Reading/writing obviously has limitations...like it is difficult to interpret tone in many of these HN comments...but that is hardly a nail in the coffin of the form of communication.
I hate the hypocrisy of “Open”AI. They feel entitled to everyone else’s data, but they keep their own data secret and proprietary.

From my basic understanding of RTEMS, they are similar on the surface, but Ironclad has a wholly different set of aims.

While RTEMS aims to provide an extremely lightweight and easily embeddedable system (and thus it forgoes things like per-process address spaces, which increase footprint and needed hardware), Ironclad puts a really strong focus on security, with things like mandatory access control, full user support, capabilities, and other goodies, sometimes at the expense of those things. Its more of a QNX and RTLinux than an RTEMS.
Thanks!

The original inspiration was a DGR video in late 2021 when he showed the original chinese-language windows-based level viewer. That inspired me (as a Mac user) to seek out the API and level format documentation, then it was a whole load of trial and error to get the rendering working. There are more popular viewers (AFAICT) out there, but I enjoyed the challenge.
Interestingly, but last month while climbing (actually doing ferratas, if you don't know what it is check it out, very fun and friendly) in a mountain the phone fell of my pocket, easily 35 meters free fall onto the forest below.

I recovered it (by using find my, thanks Apple) and it was intact.

Two days later it fell out of my pocket while sitting in my tourism european car (short) into the concrete of the road and the glass shattered.

So yeah, the elevation doesn't seem to matter as much as the terrain it hits and the angle.
I think this falls into a common mistake people make about documentation. Good documentation doesn't explain what the code does, it explains why the code is written the way it is, the constraints that caused this decision to be made and even alternatives not considered. You cant really guess those things by looking a code. I'm a fan of ADRs for that reason.

Honestly this looks overly verbose to me, a common LLM problem. The mistakes others cite, are also pretty concerning.

According to CNBC’s Kate Rooney, sources with knowledge of the case assure that the SEC will wait until January 10 to give an official response, and that the products will begin trading on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Just running machine code itself does not make a program magically faster. It‘s all about the amount of work the machine code is doing.

For example, if the JIT compiler realizes the program is adding two integers it could potentially replace the code with two MOVs and a single ADD. However, what about the error handling in the case of an overflow? Python switches to its internal BigInt representation in this case and cannot rely on architecture specific instructions alone once the result gets too large to fit into a register.

Modern programming languages are all about trading performance for convenience and that is what makes them slow — not because they are running an interpreter and not compiling to machine code.
I think it is not that people don't like reading.

It is just that video content generate so much more monetization. At least compared to work done. Thus most relevant content is generated as video instead of text. And those generating text are struggling with revenue sources.
Ehhhh tightening bolts and not building MCAS with a single sensor and flight computer, whilst hiding the changes and selling a warning light…

If this is a genuine comment it’s worth thinking about why you reached straight to defend egregiously bad engineering and manufacturing.

Self driving is a different risk profile, even if you engineer it to the best of human knowledge — people still don’t understand why, and can’t ask why, the system in control of multiple ton vehicles being beta tested ‘in production with human lives’ and marketed as FSD, makes the decisions it makes. Or at least they can’t immediately tell it not to drive into trucks. Which is quite a straightforward thing to ask of a driving control system.

None of those asks are perfection, or more than we’d expect from a child let alone ‘humans’ as a species
I‘ve always considered it to be exactly the other way round: in the old days of yore, the Internet was dominated by a certain kind of elite, and then the Endless September happened and commercialization followed.

Python is already fast where it matters: often, it is just used to integrate existing C/C++ libraries like numpy or pytorch. It is more an integration language than one where you write your heavy algorithms in.

For JS, during the time that it received its JITs, there was no cross platform native code equivalent like wasm yet. JS had to compete with plugins written in C/C++ however. There was also competition between browser vendors, which gave the period the name "browser wars". Nowadays at least, the speed improvements for the end user thanks to JIT aren't also that great, Apple provides a mode to turn off JIT entirely for security.
This seems like a lazy, sensationalist article.

The only thing Unity is ahead in is bloat. I don't know of another engine in which even simple 2D games have laughable loading times and feel sluggish and stuttery. I am glad they're losing market share finally.
Unfortunate to see a couple of comments here drive-by pulling out the “x% faster” stat whilst minimising the context. This is a big deal and it’s effectively a given that this’ll pave the way for further enhancements.
"The Great Filter" is the only non-egotistical, and therefore IMO the only valid explanation. Even then, people still believe in egotistical great filters such as global thermonuclear war.

We already have evidence of an extinction-level event (Chicxulub impact) 66 million years ago. A strong enough solar flare would eradicate all life in extra-terrestrial colonies. We are just lucky to be alive.
My point is that the average person doesn’t actually like to read and would rather watch a video or listen to audio. The number of hours spent scrolling TikTok or YouTube absolutely dwarfs the number of hours people spend reading books for pleasure. This is…basic sociological knowledge about contemporary society and really not a controversial thing to say at all. People read much less today than they used to.

Writing is more durable than it is desirable, and as its durability is matched by video and digital devices, I expect its presence to lessen.
Honestly I don't understand the pessimistic view here. I think every release since Microsoft started funding python has increased high single digit best case performance.

Rather than focussing on the raw number compare to python 3.5 or so. It's still getting significantly faster.

If they keep doing this steady pace they are slowly saving the planet!
Billions of dollars of product decisions use JS benchmark speed as one of the standard benchmarks to base buying decision on (for a good reason).

For machine learning speed compiling to the right CUDA / OpenCL kernel is much more crucial, so there's where the money goes.
I think you’re right. It is likely never going to happen.
It's hard to make small, rural places walkable. Walkability and bikeability imply density and a solid public transit network (which is costly).

It's fine if the places where 80% of people live are walkable and the rest maybe aren't as great.
I share the same sentiment, which is why I created this website: https://www.sublink.app

The new features include an improved content management, multi-site management, extended multilingual management, a centralized administration site, and simplified options for public sites.

In terms of collaboration, version 6.5 offers a new notification center, filters for unread information, and enhancements for document management, co-editing, and video conferencing.

For community engagement, features such as time-limited actions and a customized dashboard have been added. Simultaneously, improvements in terms of accessibility and digital responsibility have been integrated.

> At the moment, the JIT is only used if the function contains the JUMP_BACKWARD opcode which is used in the while statement but that will change in the future.

It's a bit less underwhelming if you consider that only function objects with loops are being JITed. nb: for loops in Python also use the JUMP_BACKWARD op.
I'm not sure why that argument is applicable to a queue but not to any fixed sized memory? A transformer can conceptually modify any position by simply outputting the whole context except with 1 different value. Basically, it's restating in a convoluted way the known fact that anything with finite memory has finite states and thus the halting problem is solvable.
