They're slow, but OK for inference.

In practice no one uses AMD/Intel IGPs because no knows about the mlc-llm vulkan backend. llama.cpp is en vogue on the desktop, which does not support IGPs outside of Apple, and otherwise people use backends targeted at server GPUs.
That went into effect a year and a half ago, and big companies were all well aware of it in advance. See for example this trade group that formed more than 6 years ago to lobby against the change: https://investinamericasfuture.org/.

It's possible the change is a contributing factor, but I don't think it could be a primary cause, because companies wouldn't have waited this long to react.
I know this is tangential to the linked article, but why the "Open" in OpenFaaS if the community edition is so limited? The first payment tier is 1000 dollars. Is that open in the sense you can send pull request and inspect code?
If you know GPS is unreliable in specific areas, it's not hard to get around with rough accuracy. There's still a compass, after all.
That has included me, in the past. It is stupid easy to accidentally have a debt to a hospital. For families, sensible privacy rules at clinics can mean that it is very hard to choke point bills to a single person. To the point that I asked every time if I owed money when I did checkups to be told that we did not. Only to later find that my family did, in fact, have a bill due. For a while.

Recently I'm getting it with the stupid "anesthesia is billed separate from the surgery" nonsense. At least this time I noticed the bill. Why is that not a single bill, though? Imagine having to pay the cook, cleaner, server, and attendants all separately. So frustrating.
What? The entire premise was that it is cheaper at night. Thanks for jumping into the middle of the convo though and trying to jerk the wheel.
Tech Companies that are not making profits are the most affected.

Let’s say you have $100 in revenue, $100 in salary expenses and $50 in other expenses.

Pre 174 you would be considered to have a loss and wouldn’t pay taxes on profits since you don’t have any.

However, post 174, since you’re amortizing salary expenses, you can only deduct $20 out of that $100 (actually the scaling is a little weird I believe, so it’s even worse and the first year you can only set aside 10%), so as far as the IRS is concerned you made $100 in revenues and $50 + $20 in expenses, so you had a profit of $30. So somehow you now need to find actual cash to pay for the $30 in profits when in reality you’ve paid out more than you’ve made.

This just means you have to raise more funds for something that is not returning any value to you.

Your competitors abroad don’t need to do this. Your deep pocketed large competitors don’t need to do this. They have cash to pay and they will get the money back in 5 years, a time which you may not even survive to receive that set off.

This is the worst kind of policy because it doesn’t even make the government more money (the overall tax deduction is still largely the same) but it makes things way worse for companies.
From the article: "Van Sabben [the engineer] passed away in the United Arab Emirates two weeks after the Stuxnet attack as a result of a motorcycle accident."
> Van Sabben passed away in the United Arab Emirates two weeks after the Stuxnet attack as a result of a motorcycle accident.

Well, that’s not suspicious at all. Any of the parties involved could conceivably benefit from his accident.
Yeah, seriously... How excited they expect us to get? Freaking AI made its debut and has accelerated nonstop since and y'all want us talking about new WiFi versions? I didn't know there was versions!
Stupidest. Idea. Ever.
I second this. I've rented Teslas from Hertz about 5 or 6 times now for long trips across California and the experience was flawless. I couldn't believe how well everything just worked. The integration resulted in a seemingly Tesla-controlled experience where there was little friction reminding you the car belonged to Hertz.
They’re good from the “do it at home” perspective, not from the business or enterprise performance perspective.

One of the ways folks do this now is use the Mac M* chips, since they have so much combined RAM. The raw performance isn’t as high as GPUs, but they can fit substantially larger models in memory.
The problem at the moment is that, globally speaking, we are just adding fossil gas on top of our preexisting consumption instead of replacing and reducing oil and coal consumption.
My typical phone upgrade schedule doesn't have me buying a new one until... eh, probably 2027 or so. By then I imagine I'll have a wifi7 router at home.
The similarity to China isn’t a coincidence. This is all coming from the cultural dominance of TikTok among young people, which (to my knowledge) algorithmically downranks any content that has those words in them.

It’s a common Chinese strategy, born of Chinese censorship requirements, which TikTok naturally used when presented with similar-enough problems outside of China.
That price range might have been accurate 7 years ago, but modern graphics cards for gaming range from $300 to $1000 with the highest level pushing $2000 thanks to the AI craze. The higher prices make quality iGPUs all the more relevent - especially since the "gamer" demographic continues growing and many of the most popular games are not particularly demanding.
In the broader industry, I've never seen anything that I would qualify as abuse but abuse is very real at certain firms that specialize in hiring H1Bs.
Go check out the eye watering prices, example, $1599 USD...

Full stack web dev here with a bias towards the backend. On my own time I prefer to use python for web work and C#/Unity for game dev, but I'm a big proponent of using the right tools for the job. I'm good at turning domain knowledge into software and quickly getting up to speed on preexisting code bases. Ideally looking for a role doing something socially conscious.

* At my last job I led a team and helped build a Windows desktop app that pulled data from native node modules and added overlays to games. I used Electron, Node, Typescript, React, and Redux to build it, AWS for CI and deployments, and TrackJS and Sentry for logging/monitoring. I also started learning Rust from working with other engineers on the native node modules.

* On the side I'm learning more Rust and also building https://bigplaylist.club/ - a small site (mostly for my personal use) that lets you create music playlists from multiple streaming sources (youtube, soundcloud, bandcamp, etc.)
Have you looked at the AG Grid release from two weeks ago? We released a new theme called Quartz, which I understand is much better. Eg it has automatic switching between dark and bright mode based on users desktop preferance.
Those are some upsides of AI, there are also many potential downsides that could be very harmful to society, more so than some AR goggles. Time will tell how it all plays out.

Apple is also invested in AI, they just refuse to use the AI buzzword, and use ML instead, which is probably the more accurate term.
I would not mind a LLM trained on say Wikipedia and its sources. That’s still a lot of bullshit, but orders of magnitude less than the open Web at large. The possibility to whitelist some websites would be useful. Training from the huge scientific articles databases would be ace.

What would be a strong selling point would be if the LLM is able to reliably cite where the information comes from. MS’s copilot currently attempts to do this, but often cites low-quality websites with questionable reliability.
Tangentially related gripe:

My biggest issue in making this work reliably is that my "smart" thermostat is trying to be too smart.

Our power gets cheap at 10pm. I can't just set my HVAC to turn on at 10 and go full blast until power gets expensive again at 6am. I have to program a set temperature at a time. if I set that at 10pm, my thermostat tries to make sure that it _reaches_ that temp at exactly the time. So it will actually turn on an hour early. So I have to guess how long it will take my HVAC system to reach whatever temperature I have it set to, and then set it for that much time _after_ 10PM. It's inexact and annoying, and means that I am leaving performance on the table.

I have idly searched a few times for a replacement thermostat that would interact locally with home assistant and have had zero luck (partially due to the fact that my system is complicated and seems to have a non-standard wiring setup).

Everything else: hot water heater, EV, laundry, etc. are all trivially easy to make run during the desired periods. But the biggest use of energy I have (yes, larger than charging the car) is a PITA to make it play well with TOU billing.

This says ~16% of their GDP is from oil (directly). 2021 data.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PETR.RT.ZS?locat...

Saudi Arabia is at ~24% for comparison.

The question is what happens if you remove those 16%, how much other GDP is tied to it, more or less indirectly.
They should have allowed a non-us ship to transfer the oil and send it to Iran or whatever. After all it wasn't Iran's fault that the company that moved the oil around was not abiding by the laws of the country they were incorporated in.

If you want to be the country that sends a clear message that all you need to do is to follow the rules of capitalism you don't go around and seize assets by your enemies. If you do that then all what people conclude is that you're just doing what the fuck you want and benefit your friends and crush your enemies and so they are morally free to do the same.

It's still possible to apply pressure and sanctions while keeping up with your principles. Otherwise you're missing the whole point and become an international joke, which sadly is what is increasingly happening to the US despite the best intentions of many (and thanks to the worst intentions of many others)
The publishing system takes some pains to provide an accurate last-modified value for HTTP caching purposes (and an ETag too); internally it tracks the most recent modification time of all components that go into the page as it's (dynamically) assembled from various pieces.

(I am the author of the linked-to article and also the author of the software it's running. Said software also has (on-disk) caching, but that's not why the last-modified is back in December of last year.)
What do you mean by 'organic market forces'? All interest rates are decided on, from what we have now to 0%. All markets are designed, with rules, regulations, and tax laws.

Markets are a technology, they don't come from nature. Markets are an intentional product of governments. Anthropologists haven't found a single stateless society that voluntarily chose markets.
Here's a small summary of just some of the subsidies they recieve, from a bill that was introduced[0] to limit them. These are over and above other types of deductions all businesses take advantage of tax wise

- Tax credits specifically for producing oil and gas from maringal wells and oil discovery

- Tax deductions for drilling and development cost of oil and gas wells

- Passive loss exceptions for working interests in oil and gas property (think dry wells)

- Removes exceptions for tar sands and oil shale[1]

These are just some. Then there's the second order costs, like how much of our defense budget is geared toward simply protecting oil tankers[2] specifically.

Oil isn't easily replaced, though. It's not just energy, there are all the products derived from it. If you shut it off suddenly, things would collapse.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to replace it, but if we had easy replacement we wouldn't have these problems in the first place.

"In the reviewed studies, there was a high prevalence of Adv36 in all age groups, which exceeded 64% among adults and 73% among children and adolescents with obesity and/or metabolic disorders. The vast majority of the reviewed studies have shown a statistically significant association between Adv36 and obesity, adiposity, and related alterations, whereas only a few studies presented divergent results."

My 2c is that culture around work (in general - not specific to tech) and pay in Europe are a much bigger contribution than hiring. By no means am I trying to disparage European engineers or those who stay for a myriad of good reasons. But, it's also clear that some of the best EU engineers would rather work in the US for much higher pay. Even companies like Google* pay much worse if you work on YouTube in Paris vs the US.

* at least in the past from talking to peers
The world is very small, and it can't support that many companies making passenger aircraft. If you want aircraft of that size, you have to buy Boeing or Airbus. Both are sold out until the 2030s. And if you are already operating Boeing aircraft, it's more cost-effective to buy more of them instead of switching to Airbus.

China spent ~15 years developing the C919, and it's finally entering mass production. But it also appears to be sold out until the 2030s.
Not me. I only understand half your post, to tell you the truth.

But Derek Muller on the youtube channel Veritasium has a good video on this, where he mentions how, when asked one time, Feynman couldn't think of a simple way to describe how it works, and then Muller goes on to explain it in a way that I could see. Great stuff:

"Accident." Even still, it outs his family, including his Iranian wife.
it's basically impossible for US inflation to get to baseline until the federal government stops the massive deficit spending, Fed can only do so much by raising interest rates when the government is spending 25% of GDP and 1/3rd of that is deficit

The types of software development that counts as research and development is incredibly narrow given the fact software development contains the word development. Section 174 of the Code, but more importantly, the regs associated with that section are very particular about what is and is not deductible.

For example, developing windows 11 might count as R&D up until it ships. Spending a decade supporting it, doing bug fixes, and patching security holes in the already-shipped product would not count as research or development.

This “the research is done when the product shipped” might work for tangible objects but it does not seem coherent given the way the software lifecycle works.

It might be wise to revisit this; giving companies a tax break when they do security upgrades after release might be a good way to incentivize more secure software.
This is worse because the user in question had the "recommendation" pop up in the Start Menu - i.e.one of the most fundamental pieces of Windows UX - not even in the app store.
You can't really separate SEO and the Google algorithms. SEO is a product of the Google's ranking algorithms.

The entire effort of SEO is to either to follow Google's official guidelines, or reverse-engineer how things work to exploit their algorithms. Those whole point of SEO is to score higher on ranking algorithms.

This was expected. The state does not want you to know that they are watching you. See Snowden.
It might not be voluntary decided, but it is more a less happening. renewable is used more and more, and nuclear is getting more interest lately.

Lots of countries are putting incentives to electrify their economy, which is a necessary first step to later switch to renewable and nuclear (and ditch coal or gas).
Assuming the news reporting is true, of course. Would be a convenient way to protect the real asset.
> I'm in the camp where I want AI and automation to free people from drudgery in the hope that it will encourage the biggest HUMAN artwork renaissance ever in history.

That is, to put it bluntly, hoping for a technological solution to a social problem. It won't happen. Ever.

We absolutely, 100% DO NOT have the social or ideological framework necessary to "free people from drudgery." The only options are 1) be rich, 2) drudge, or 3) starve. Even a technology as fantastic as a Star Trek replicator won't really free us from that. If it enables anything, the only new option provided by replicators would be: 4) die from an atom bomb replicated by a nutjob.
the original "protocol not commercialized" sentiment in the OP is a bit odd. nobody commercialized HTTP per se (okay, you could make an argument for SaaS CDN proxies, but i don't think that was the spirit of the original argument), they commercialized things you could deliver using it. the channel-based real time chat model is what mattered, not the intricate details of how the underlying bits are delivered

functionally, Discord and Slack have commercialized that model, with clear and obvious effects for people that were using IRC. every community i was part of via IRC has migrated to those services, and i haven't encountered a new community on IRC in forever, but have encountered plenty of new Discord communities
When hiring fast, there's also an element of "we'll find something for you to do", meaning that you're expected to find something yourself. This can lead to people becoming very narrow on something that the business doesn't really value

Have a look at how memcached does it. It's a bit more interesting than most examples I've seen as insofar as I can remember it combines epoll with multithreading. Be aware that many of the tutorials and criticisms of epoll are a bit outdated as the API has evolved a little over time.
I have to imagine some of these single product companies (Zoom, Dropbox, Discourse) will eventually get rolled up to make some office suite alternative to Mircrosoft Office and Google Workspace.
So 0 people dead and a few minor injuries derails the subway’s comeback, but hundreds of people dying of car crashes and thousands having major sever injuries every year has no impact?

Our inability to gauge risk is insane.
This is the kind of headline you have to be careful with because as long as there's debt there will be a majority of debtors. Without raw numbers, this could mean more insured people are getting into debt _or_ it could mean that the US has gotten better at providing cost-effective health care for the uninsured. If that's the case, than this headline is something to be celebrated.

Let's say last year 100 people were in debt to hospitals - 40 insured, 60 uninsured.

This year 70 people are in debt to hospitals - 40 insured, 30 uninsured.

Great!

(I know that it would be much better if no one was in debt, but that's a separate discussion.)

(Also possibly fewer uninsured people are in debt because they all died of treatable conditions but that conclusion will have to wait on more data.)
And this is how it works in many countries. Here in Spain you physically go down to the social security office, present your photo ID, and they sign your private key - thus providing access to all government websites...

In theory. in practice there are 3 competing online ID systems within the Spanish government, which is pretty typical beaurocratic bullshit

That hasn’t been true for the Zen based models at least. The 5700G and now the 8700G occupy the $350-370 price slot. My comparable 13th gen Intel CPU with lesser graphics was the same price. That’s a great value for a casual gamer.

I’m sure at some point we’ll see Intel based APU equivalents on desktop with some teeth. Intel needs to solve their driver issues first.

Platforms, especially AM5, are very expensive too. Ryzen 8000 is far slower than even the slowest new discrete GPU.

The real value option is buying an older platform (AM4) and a used discrete GPU, from back when prices were more sane.
To be blunt, it doesn't matter if it actually happens or not. It's about risk management. It is absolutely the norm in most companies to remove an employee's access to company resources if the termination was not the employee's idea.

Other than general goodwill, there is no incentive to give an employee a heads-up that they are being laid off. And lots of downside if the employee happens to be disgruntled and do something evil. Goodwill does not show up on balance sheets. But theft and sabotage do.

I'm not saying I like it, but I understand it.
