A minor detail here is that the analysis in the blog shows that the linear model built/trained on the the activations of an internal layer has a representation of the board that is probabilistic. Of course the full model is also probabilistic by design, though it probably has a better internal understanding of the state of the board than the linear projection used to visualize/interpret the internals of the model. There is no real meaning in the word "spatial" representation beyond the particular connectivity of the graph of the locations, which seems to be well understood by the model as 98% of the moves are valid, and this includes sampling with whatever probabilistic algorithm of choice that may not always return the best move of the model.

A different way to test the internal state of the model would be to score all possible valid and invalid moves at every position and see how the probabilities of these moves would change as a function of the player's ELO rating. One would expect that invalid moves would always score poorly independent of ELO, whereas valid moves would score monotonically with how good they are (as assessed by Stockfish) and that the player's ELO would stretch that monotonic function to separate the best moves from the weakest moves for a strong player.
Good point. Several users are asking us the OpenDashboard/Kibana compatibility, and this is on the 2024 roadmap.

That being said, we also hear users complaining about OpenDashboard/Kibana, looking for an alternative different from Kibana/Grafana explore view (the view used for log and tracing search). You will also find users satisfied by the Grafana Explore view.

Personally, I don't find the Grafana Explore view great for log searches. I saw that Grafana recently made some improvements, and I need to dig into that to adapt the Quickwit Grafana plugin. I don't have a clear opinion on Kibana, one of my dreams is to build a better UI for log/traces search anyway, not yet on the roadmap though :)

Makes sense and thanks. Sounds like the kind of capability that gets very expensive to include late in the game. Which speaks to a problem with contemporary culture at Boeing, which was to get rid of the test and QA roles that would typically catch these issues early enough to incorporate the solution (3+ thermostats) back into the design before it got too expensive to do so. Microsoft, btw, is guilty of the same test & QA culture dilapidation, which results in the crap Windows we get nowadays.

That's more or less false. Releasing 2000 for home usage was planned, but it was realized early on that there's not enough time for that. It's not possible to develop on a short notice, ME contained some notable improvements (mostly ports from 2000).
I've been developing for PocketBase for 2 months.

As someone else mentioned, API rules can control access to rows.

It can send emails. Set timers. And send its own requests to other webservers. (I haven't used any of these features.) https://pocketbase.io/docs/js-sending-emails/

As for internationalization, what specific features did you want? That seems more like a front-end feature.

Interesting, thank you for sharing!

That experience speaks more to the perils of in-housing, not to why Palantir is the best COTS for specific needs here. Are there specific leading COTS here you view it so far ahead of for such a contract?

Closer to our own practice.. Modern LLMs have basically reset the field for SOTA in this space, with Palantir, by definition, being behind OpenAI in the most basic tasks, and thus being in the same race as everyone else to retool. Speaking from our own USG experience, we are deep tech leads in some other intelligence areas (graph, ...), and before OpenAI, often chose to adopt prev-gen leading LLM models (BERT, ...) for tasks closer to the NLP side as we recognized that wasn't where our deep tech had an inhouse advantage. We basically had to start over on some of those projects there as soon as GPT4 came out because it just changed so much that the incumbent advantages of already being delivering on a contract were a dead end for core functionality, and almost a year later, it's now obvious that it was the right choice when we get compared to companies that haven't been. Palantir has been publicly resetting as well for using GenAI era tech, which suggests the same situation.

Unfortunately the PDF generation ecosystem seems to be full of libraries that aren't permissively licensed, but there are some alternatives:

.NET:

PDFsharp: MIT License, benefits from transitive dependency exception in ImageSharp (otherwise nonfree in many cases). Supports font subsetting.

FossPDF.Net: fork of QuestPDF, MIT license. High level layout interface, some significant drawbacks (doesn't position text correctly, no support for font subsetting; even with manually subset embedded fonts, Skia tends to produce poorly optimised PDFs which I found to be larger than they should)

Ruby:

Prawn: GPL (not AGPL) license. Supports font subsetting.

Java:

PDFBox: Apache License. Supports font subsetting.

OpenPDF: Fork of iText, before it was given a dual license to enable commercial licenses to be sold.

Python:

ReportLab Toolkit: BSD license. More advanced markup and layout features are nonfree, in a separate product.

SwiftUI started out really simple but now that they're extending it to cover more functionality it's getting more and more complicated. Instead of complicated OOP design now it's inscrutable functional design, now with the bonus of Swift's "less verbose" syntax and naming.

I was dealing with TransferRepresentation the other day and this API must be extremely confusing to someone who's new to Swift. The documentation reads like you're supposed to already be familiar with some concept that is never explained.

Just guessing since the article was information deficient: mainframes. They’re so expensive anyway that adding on a closed cycle cryogenic cooler isn’t even in the top ten line items on the bill.

At cryogenic temperatures, even older architectures not optimised for it can hit 9 GHz. An optimised modern CPU could probably run at well over 10 GHz, which is a big performance boost for legacy single-threaded code. Cooling and “overclocking” the CPUs would be cheaper than rewriting the code.

More extreme frequencies (over 100 GHz) can be achieved with existing but more exotic digital electronics such as Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ), which uses liquid helium cooling. This is used in some military radars, radio telescopes, and a few other similar high-speed signal processing scenarios. If ordinary silicon could run at, say, 20 GHz with cheaper LN cooling, that would lower the cost of some fancy radars.
There is also a lot of evidence lately that they do not generalize.

Honestly, for me it's a selling point.

Generally speaking Rust programs are fast, memory-efficient and of high quality.

I'm certainly not saying this is always the case, or that it's impossible in other languages, but I am definitely going to take a closer look if something new and interesting prominently says it was built with Rust.

How much more, and on what schedule? The destabilizing effects of "more CO2" antecedent may interfere when the "therefore more wood" consequence.

For instance, here in Colorado we're seeing a lot of our wood turn into CO2 due to an invasive beetle. I can't say for sure if the warming climate is what catalyzed the invasion, but it's plausible.

My point is just that it's uncharted territory, which is inherently more dangerous than charted territory. The system will surely find a new equilibrium eventually but there's no guarantee that we're going to like the path it takes.

Or alternatively, keep technologists well away from policy making.

Skynet will only nuke us after the AI safety crowd has thoroughly convinced the military of how supremely dangerous and capable AI is. AI on its own seems pretty benign, keep security vulnerabilities patched and be skeptical of what you read on the internet.

I honestly believe this pop-scifi view we have of AI is probably the most dangerous part, it gives certain people (like those in weapons procurement) dangerous levels of confidence in something that doesnt provide consistent and predictable results. When the first AI cruise missile blows up some kids because it hallucinated them as a threat, it wont be because AI is so dangerous, it will be the overconfidence of the designers. Its threat to humanity is directly correlated to the responsibility we delegate it.
It isn’t though. It’s a simulation, and it is good at that. But calling it real learning is a bit, you know, hallucinating.
I'd love to understand WHY Apple's documentation is so notoriously weak.

One guess: maybe it's related to their culture of internal secrecy? If a team works on a project for years without anyone outside of that team having any visibility of it, writing comprehensive documentation is presumably a lot less valuable - at least while it's under development.
Does this mean you get additional documentation then the example in the blog? Or is that $99 for the bad documentation?

Ask HN: Are there any interesting workloads to stress test GPUs?
Sometimes I have to stress test GPUs. I usually run gpu-burn, but this just wastes cycles and generates heat for 24 hours. It would be cooler to run something which produces meaningful output.

(I think) I cannot run any training because the test might be interrupted any second. And even checkpoints won't help because I won't always have the option to resume the training on another machine -- another machine might have different model of GPUs or different amount of them.

I tried generating thousands of images of cats in hats with sdxl but it quickly becomes boring.

If only there was a simple way to e.g. generate images and have a step that automatically judges them so that I could have a result of a several uniquely beautiful images. Or if I could generate songs lyrics and have a step which checks how well they rhyme.

How would you stress test a GPU so that it produces some interesting artifacts as a side effect?

honestly I bet a big portion of why that works is that they're statically linked binaries, but "ships as one statically linked binary" doesn't have quite the same marketing power. One of the first things I do when I check out an open source project is check if it's written in or requires node.js, and if it does, I ignore the project. I've worked with enough node.js stuff over the years to know that I simply do not want to deal with its ecosystem. I feel the same way about Ruby but I can't remember the last time I saw a new Ruby project. If I have to deal with managing an interpreter, I don't want to use your project. Python only gets a pass because I still use it professionally so I am personally up to date on its quirks, but I can understand why someone would say the same thing about Python projects.

> What really annoys me in these situations is how the institutions show loyalty to the people who did research misconduct. When researcher X works at or publishes with institution Y, and it turns out that X did something wrong, why does Y so often try to bury the problem and attack the messenger? Y should be mad at X; after all, it’s X who has leveraged the reputation of Y for his personal gain. I’d think that the leaders of Y would be really angry at X, even angrier than people from the outside. But it doesn’t happen that way. The immediate victims of the con would rather act as if the con never happened. Instead, they’re mad at the outsiders who showed them that they were being fooled.

No. PocketBase runs on a server. It needs a host.

It is simple, so its single program is (1) a webserver, (2) runs server-side code, and (3) hosts a DB. I'm running a $12-per-month server on Vultr and its only service is PocketBase.

You don't need to host the webpages on PocketBase. If you wanted all your webpages to be on Github Pages, you could do that.

>I think a lot of the time "SPA" vs "MPA" essentially actually means "does the client largely render it's own HTML" or "does the server render HTML and the client just displays it".

It seems like there was already terminology of CSR-vs-SSR (client-side vs server-side rendering) to differentiate that so there was no need for SPA-vs-MPA to overlap with CSR/SSR to try and make the same distinction.

>Whether it displays that with a full _page_ refresh or by injecting HTML via Javascript does not in practice matter.

It seemed like the 'P' in SPA-vs-MPA is literally about the Page(s) being reloaded. It's "single page" or "multiple pages". That's why developers like to clarify that Next.js -- even with SSR HTML hydration of various subpages -- is still an SPA because the page on the client-side browser isn't reloaded. I just did some skimming of various "SPA vs MPA" search results and none seemed to use those acronyms as a way to classify CSR-vs-SSR. (https://www.google.com/search?q=spa+vs+mpa)

I'm also not clear how you classify Mcmaster.com ? Is it an MPA to you?

>If your definition of "MPA" is "every interaction requires a full page load", it's a pointless discussion,

No I'm not saying every interaction. I was responding to your original suggestion of "MPA with query parameters to a results page" ... and showing how McMaster.com search filters do not work the way you recommend it should. Each click of navigation and filters triggers a JSON payload and dynamically rebuilds the DOM tree. The browser's performance.timing.loadEventEnd property value does not change.

> We think civilization is progress, and progress is civilization, that classical liberal ideas and the scientific revolution are the necessary conditions of this progress.

The author must be working from a very funny definition of the word "civilization." Most of the world's civilizations espoused few or no liberal ideas, and predate the scientific revolution.

Besides, his core thesis is obviously flawed. If progress is everything, how is it that the "golden ages" of everything from physics, to art, to pharmaceutical drug development, are so clearly behind us? If we must take a narrow view, there are a number of states that are materially poorer than they were 30 years ago. And why do we need a new, codified philosophy of technology when our grandfathers were able to build the world without it? Seems to me that the extremely online author has a solution in search of a problem.

"Unfortunately popular git GUIs all fail on giant repositories or become unresponsive and unusable." I have only witnessed that in magit (or pyright) when I have super deep directory trees (say a wide dataset collection) not yet in .gitignore and then git status takes forever in cmdline or in magit. But I don't think that there is a difference between a GUI or TUI or cmdline use of git in that case. Do other interfaces to git fail in more spectacular ways than git itself?
