> All three GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs are faster than their predecessors

It's weird that they're only comparing the new cards to the RTX 30's and 20's, and not the "v1" 40's. I assume the 4080 SUPER is faster than the 4080 (based on name?) but it seems cheaper and there's absolutely no comparison data
Thats a no brainer.

If the sun shines a lot, we will have a lot of energy we can consume through an AC.

Overall a heatpump will lead to a 2-4 times net energy reduction.

Your normal car can use 30-40% of the energy in gasoline. We could just make energy out of it, use the process energy and drive a heat pump and we will be above 1 kWh from 1 kWh of gasoline energy.
"All of the high quality evidence"

If the claim masks don't work didn't come from the same people who said isolating didn't work, I might take them seriously. I might not just see it as motivated reasoning or another lame effort to discredit or cast suspicion on authorities.

If it didn't come from the same conspiracists who see nefarious censorship everywhere or people who only see their personal rights being infringed over our social obligations to each other, I might take them seriously.

Or I could take them seriously if they understood the risk of confirmation bias by cherry picking preferable information when credible contradicting studies or meta-studies exist (like this one that states "The preponderance of evidence indicates that mask wearing reduces transmissibility per contact by reducing transmission of infected respiratory particles in both laboratory and clinical contexts." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33431650/ ). Or the risk of socially promoting that one-sided certainty.

Or if they just understood the precautionary principle that if in the face of competing evidence, we could potentially all benefit from taking the more cautious approach at the risk of minor personal inconvenience, I might take them seriously. But I don't because they aren't serious people. And they aren't even slightly interested in applying the scientific method.

And they don't realise they are in the loud, unreasonable minority who have a megaphone they would never have had before the Internet, and they don't feel obliged to use that power responsibly. With time and education I hope they will dwindle in number, or at least shut up a bit.

The antiquated AM mode and the lack of encryption or even digital encoding is a safety feature for air traffic voice communications. Very weak signals still have a chance of being intelligible and if two signals are transmitted at once on the same frequency, both can still be heard.
I used dive when I was trying to cut down on the size of the image. Diffing and seeing what files/directories go into each layer was very useful.

"an LLM that thinks it's human or deserves to be treated like one will generate all kinds of negative publicity"

So in your mind when OpenAI employees go to the pub, they say "Yeah ChatGPT learns the same way as my daughter" then they have a laugh and write up a reinforcement learning training set that goes "I do not learn like your daughter." And this is more plausible to you than the possibility that they don't actually believe it learns like their daughter?

Also they secretly believe tests designed to assess human intelligence are great at non human intelligence, and also are misleading the public about their true beliefs when they train Chat GPT. Got it.

That's a pretty weird "distance" unless you have some additional constraint like assuming the vectors are 2-norm normalised, in which case you get |a-b|^2 = 2(1-a.b).

It is natural to assume vectors have distance 0 from themselves at least, which this thing doesn't (in general). E.g. if you compute this "distance" for a = b = (2,0) then you get that the distance from a to itself is -3 which seems pretty weird.

So you have had the experience of one space using a heat pump but you don't have more information regarding it?

What type it was? How well insolated was the space? Did the manager keep the temperature low on purpose? What does the summer time and sweating to do with the heat pump?

Is your house insulated?
Having said that, I may pay to send a couple of international orders tracked just so I can see how long it takes and if there are any hold-ups I should be aware of.
Kind of a pedantic argument focused on the “letter of the law” not physical reality. Physical state change of value to the aggregate must occur for society to work; propagation of empty rhetoric alone leads to social collapse; wouldn’t really call that “working on propagation of rhetoric alone”. Physical reality must provide evidence society works or people revolt. Thats what people mean when they say there’s “no evidence”.

For thousands of years society “worked” propagating religious babble then it didn’t. It’s low quality evidence society works on rhetoric.

If we say the trucks are on their way with food and they don’t show, the words meant nothing and the literal reality will dictate next steps.

Society doesn’t “work” on propagation of symbolic logic. It works when material outcomes are stable and equitable for the aggregate.

When society relies on functionally illiterate ossified minds propagating nostalgia babble, whether the babble is religious or statistical mirage that ignores the material stability of the aggregate (socializing a communal upside to a small cohort of mega rich rent seekers helicoptering us) societies fall apart.

Humans have real needs and when they’re met, society works. When they’re not due to over reliance on belief and philosophy society fails.

There’s plenty of high quality evidence to refute society works due to propagation of rhetorical statements. Real things need to occur too. Pre-language nomadic tribes built shared material stores, all based on the obvious physical reality. There is zero evidence society works on rhetoric at all and plenty the rhetoric propagates nothing but mirage.

The evidence does not show the American worker being better off after these policies you support were enacted and have had decades to run.

Generally agreed. I think 4-5 data points is fine, but the advantage of pie charts is that it's a quick visual representation of what proportion of the 100% can be attributed to the 4-5 segments.

Pie charts fail again once the distribution is very skewed (1 segment = 99% and the other 3 shared 1%). It also fails when the distribution is too even (5 segments 20% each). They shine the most when there is variance, but overall easy to interpret the distribution differences.
And they're claiming the 4070 Super provides more performance than an 3090 at lower TDP (220W vs 350W).
If you have time, I have a question I haven't been able to answer reading the docs or skimming the linked book. My company's front end apps communicate exclusively with a GraphQL orchestration layer. I tried a while back to learn HTMX by building a demo remake of one of our apps, and I actually couldn't figure out how to make those requests. Am I missing something, or is this just a bad use case for HTMX?
Strangely enough YouTube, Vevo, Twitter have been my sources all these years, alongside indie concerts in small clubs.
Thanks. Approximator, not calculator, though. Can make a difference (which can also lead to different mathematical and physical capabilities). But comes back to my point: because hypothetically one system might be able to approximate another system doesn't mean that it will happen practically that one system is equivalent to the other. Whether or not depends on the properties of the system to be approximated (leaving aside that not everything is a mathematical function).
Are you using Windows? I am happy that the people who contributed Linux/BSD/Android/iOS did not have your mentality, otherwise I would be forced to use Windows everywhere.
> Besides that, I haven't seen any studies that show a vegan or vegetarian diet makes someone healthier.

You must not have looked. Almost all (except for commercially funded) studies prove plant-based diets are much healthier; it's literally the scientific consensus in nutrition.
> Honestly that particular federated experiment has failed which is fine.

Everybody is complaining about failures in the fediverse but nobody applies the elbow grease to grow better communities. It's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy there. :)

FYI, article and quote are from 2015.
I am curious, how do you distinguish between the two? To me it seems like the US designation of terrorist just means "group we don't want to negotiate with". The US has backed rebels and regimes that have done equally bad (if not worse) stuff in the past, and not labeled them as terrorists.

I am not trying to justify or defend a group whose motto is "curse on the Jews" but I don't think the designation of terrorist is particularly useful for understanding the situation.

I love dive and its something that I use in my tool kit multiple times a month.

I am curious if anyone knows how to get the contents of the file you have highlighted, a lot of the times I use dive to validate that a file exists in a layer and then I want to peak at it. Currently I normally revert to running the container and using cat or extracting the contents and then wandering into the folders.
> If it matters, I'm doing InfoSec and programming classes.

What's the consensus on this here? I've worked in tech for 15 years and have never been asked for my qualifications once. What's important is learning what you need to land an entry level job or to take on some freelance work and from there you can work yourself up.

Given tuition fees these days I find it absurd someone would willing pay up for a crappy education that largely won't teach them the practical skills they need for employment anyway. I knew a lot of people who weren't able to land jobs after getting a degree in comp sci so the idea that there will be a job waiting for you when you graduate is wrong.

By far the most important thing to do is land your first job so I'd argue you'd be better spending job searching for 2-3 years than going to college and getting yourself into a ton of debt then finding out if you're even employable after it all.

Plus, assuming you care about learning, you'll almost certainly learn more this way too.
You're right, it's the way forward, but I don't think you're helping by making it seem like the easy path. You have to pay more attention to your nutrition if you want to stay healthy as a vegan, and attention is under attack these days.
Linux is definitely complex. Linux's ABI stability (good!) also means we cannot really blame C / glibc so much, it has internalized that problem.

I agree the goal posts make much of this complexity inevitable, but the solution is to stop trying to intersect everyone's objectives into a much narrower and daunting goal.

The big galaxy-brained goal should be:

1. Make more of Linux Rust.

2. Leverage Rust's superior expressive power to switch from a "configuration" mindset (Linux's current gazillion options on single giant code base) to a "composition mindset": we want to use types to combine various subsystems in various flavors.

3. Something like this and Linux proper can share lots of library code / subsystems. We can blur the line between "separate kernels" and "separate 'distrobutions' mixing and matching stand-alone Linux components".

I think this is the only sustainable way to reign in the accidental complexity.

If you think this is truly about putting pressure on Israel to halt their campaign in Gaza, I have major questions for the news sources you are ingesting. As well as how much charity you are giving comically literal terrorists in this.

As for why they would want to destabilize the region? You basically answered that on your own, no? They cynically want to increase their influence and power, but they can only do so at the expense of others. That is, yes, they have taken the irrational view of causing chaos to further their power-hungry desires.

There's good advice in this thread but also you can call around to small product design/mechanical engineering shops and find out who they use for prototyping.

Otherwise yeah find a local machinist and if you're only doing a single one-off it shouldn't be too spendy.
Not that interesting. And yet there's so much garbage chat gpt out there for shitty business use cases that's becoming the stereotypical face of what ai sounds like. It is honestly interesting to remind oneself every now and then at its ability to do flavorful text.
As someone that has used Linux for 20+ years that is not my experience. Rather the UI experience goes in waves. Sometimes it's easier and sometimes it's more difficult. There were polished desktops even before Ubuntu existed. Everything is in constant motion, as paradigms come and go, and new hardware needs new drivers. Usually the worst experience is right between paradigms, where you need to use some things from the old way and other things from the new way.
Just in general, what do you think an alternate job would be for an ex-dev (without spending 10s of thousands on reschooling)?

Yes, every 'Lego set' gets build and taken apart, shipped, and built again.

It seems very very silly, but it turns out to be the easiest way to do it.

Individual Lego pieces can be dropped in a bin with other Lego pieces without sustaining damage.

Lego pieces can be shipped in a cardboard box without sustaining damage.

Vehicle assembly plants are very complicated.

Vehicles have a lot of parts.

Some vehicle parts are large.

The assembly plant is the only location to which all those parts are shipped, and may be found in proximity.

An assembly plant has multiple systems for logistics to ensure that parts come together at the right time and place.

I am master's student in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. My main focus has been on machine learning, but I do enjoy working on other software engineering projects as well. In particular, projects that utilize AI or have an impact on education/productivity.

My most recent internship is at Cisco Systems. As a part of Cisco Research Group, I researched and implemented federated learning algorithms into a platform for AI/ML engineers to run federated learning. I enjoyed reading over new research, creating a deck of slides on the key points, receiving feedback on my design choices, and coding!

I have taken coursework in machine learning, including computer vision and natural language processing. In one of my projects, I tested machine learning models on human genetic interaction profiles from the Dependency Map Project. While in Seattle, attending meetups to discuss new technologies (such as LLMs) became one of my hobbies.

I am looking for full time opportunities starting in May 2024.
Goroutines are expected to communicate on channels. If one goroutine simply vanishes, then its counterparties on any channels will deadlock - either waiting for messages that never come, or trying to send messages to it after channel buffers fill up.

Crash is significantly easier to detect and understand than deadlock.

"Cool" is not a great reason. Only having to develop something once that serves all users is great, though. Personally, I cannot stand apps, I only use them when absolutely required, using a PWA gets you all the security of the browser (relatively speaking, but it's a lot more secure than a from scratch black box, and look at goon moves like Facebook embedding a browser that retains third party site interactions) and as a developer and user I can use my own extensions and general browser features.

Copying is not theft, and I don’t think anyone would dare to claim otherwise.

Unfair use of someone else’s intellectual property, however, is.

IP fuels innovation and progress—the very same that gave us tech and LLMs. IP is a major factor that incentivizes us to make new things, as you can subsequently profit from the value you created for the world. Take it away and you get a society where barely anyone is motivated to bother (unless they are coerced into it, with predictable results).
