I'd love to see training working on arm + mps macs. Hopefully someone knowledeable chimes in, that it's actually possible.

I tried running some mpx supported conda/pytorch inference (whisper to be precise) on a workplace issued M1 mac and it did fall back to cpu. I encountered:

- `NotImplementedError: The operator 'aten::_fft_r2c' is not currently implemented for the MPS device`

- `TypeError: Trying to convert ComplexFloat to the MPS backend but it does not have support for that dtype`.

EDIT: just read up it might have more to do with audio processing.

Fingers crossed for better mac support in ML in general! Competition is a great thing
Even worse, the given linear congruential RNG yields only 12445 distinct numbers, then repeats itself. It would be sensible to simply use better parameters for this algorithm.
Given that it appears to be Javascript based, and Ext JS is already well established ( https://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/ ), I was initially thinking that this might be some kind of store front from Sencha. That doesn't appear to be the case though?
> The article shows the famously debunked "gimbal" video.

While I do agree with your sentiment here, I think the gimbal video has not been debunked as of yet, if we don't include random YouTubers.

> The "best" evidence is always a video of photo of such a poor quality that anything could be interpreted into it.

I think modern military cameras, like the one in the gimbal video, are not that bad in terms of quality. But yes, at this point in time, you have to come up with decent quality video and if possible extra sensors like infrared, radar, and so on to capture the phenomenon. I think it is worth investigating, no matter the outcome, because if something can be observed on multiple sensors (including video), then there is some kind of interference that could potentially expose improvement potentials for the sensors (e.g., to filter out such artifacts or to categorize them correctly).
Wow, that's rough. I use a set of raspberry pi 4Bs as a k8s cluster (with an SSD over USB, otherwise etcd crashes cause the storage is too slow).

Luckily I have 5 of them (and a k8s cluster is fault tolerant), because the USB disk randomly does not get enough power -- the voltage drops a lot even pulling 2-3A out of most chargers, I can't imagine doing 5 (the USB cable resistances start to become a factor at higher amperages).

Is software ever going to become more responsive? I'm tired of Slack constantly fucking up its UI because I'm faster than it is, and that's on an M2.
All AMD Zen 4, including the laptop 7x4x and 8x4x series support bfloat16 too.

The laptop models also include a separate ML/AI inference accelerator besides the CPU and GPU, but for now that has software support only for Windows.
I feel like AI will replace a lot of the "pointless"/bottom of the barrel jobs.

If you program entirely by copy and pasting from stack overflow, sure you should be worried. But despite that being a meme, most people do more than that.
> When the stylesheets are not accessible by document.styleSheets API (e.g. on a third party domain, what!?)

I agree with the !? sentiment. An even bigger WTF, though, is that the server gets to control through CSP which off-site style sheets the user can link against and even whether use of the style attribute is permitted. CSP is one of the worst pieces of Web security infrastructure that modern browsers unwisely agreed to go along with. Incredibly user-hostile and worse, effectively irreversible—there's basically no going back now because browsers don't have the option at this point to say, "Yeah, we're not going to honor this anymore," without putting users at an even greater risk than before CSP ever existed. So not just detestable in the vein of WEI, but an utterly abominable technical work.
I'm interested to know if non-recyclable plastic (everything not PET) can be used.
Or that they understand it just fine, but don't think it has a particular advantage worth the extra complexity tradeoff.
Also a good meta example of picking a poor visualization method for the given data?

This makes me curious --

Has there been any good application of "periodic table" as a visualization method for anything other than chemical elements?

If we are thinking of a grid where "rows" and "columns" imply some common properties .. then I am sure there are a few examples of matrix / quadrant/ grid formats that help convey that.

But specifically "periodic table" is overused IMO.

If applied correctly, I would expect every Nth element along X dimension resembles each other so it makes sense to wrap it and show it as a next row so that we get common properties along Y dimension as well.
Is that right? You do all that at Louie.ai?
All Zen 1 CPUs and newer have the PSP / ASP security processor which is ARM based and runs before the x86 cores are released from reset. This applies to all Zen models, not just the PRO versions.

The fTPM does indeed run on the PSP, so on the ARM cores, among many other things like DRAM training.
Coming from the assumption that Facebook should have tons of experienced people using React, their implementation on Facebook.com just plainly sucks after 7+ years. The UI is slow, breaks back button navigation often, loads completely different views in case a tab goes into background and gets reloaded (I have multiple tabs open from FB Groups that interested me, many of them default to opening my Home feed or the Groups main page after a background reload).

If Facebook.com cannot get it right, who actually can?

"No True Scotsman" is also a trope going on for > 100 years, yet you are appealing to it.
I was looking at rotten.com when I was like 14. I could almost handle the person gore but the animal gore affected me and still does if I see it today.

bluefin is a light layer of convenience on top of Fedora Silverblue.

Due to an unrelated issue, switching back from bluefin to the main Fedora tree was just an `rpm-ostree rebase` and a reboot away.

If I recall correctly, these integrated "AI accelerators" from both Intel and AMD are actually rather underpowered in comparison to an actual GPU (even the iGPU), at least in their current forms. So they don't have any performance advantage, but was put in place for power efficiency.

This matches my experience in India. A dietician consultation is recommended on diagnosis of diabetes, however adherence to low carb diet is low. Still, insulin is considered last line of defence if diet control, drugs like metformin, glimiperide, sitagliptin etc are not sufficient to keep blood glucose in check.

Indians typically follow either a rice based diet in southern regions or wheat based diet in northen regions. Doctors down south recommend eating limited or no rice and switching to wheat based roti, whereas northen doctors recommend switching to rice. I suspect this is to reduce overall consumption, in anecdotal experiences it works better than just asking people to limit their preferred grain. People eat less of unfamiliar foods.
Yes but what an amazing 10-foot journey that would have been!

I don't think it really matters though.

I can already take a photorealistic photo with my camera, no AI needed. We don't hire photographers just because they can create photorealistic images, we hire them because they can take the right photorealistic images.
Nah the idea is to stay minimalist.

5-10 lines of VanillaJS maximum for some basic (and custom!) MD features is all I need.
They actually have many details in common, including some suboptimal choices, like the handling of the flags, but those are not due to 68000 being derived from 6800, as there was no such direct connection, but due to the fact that both the 6800 and the 68000 ISAs have been strongly influenced by the DEC PDP-11, which was the most popular minicomputer during the seventies.

Due to very similar mnemonics, the assembly languages of MC6800 and of MC68000 resemble even more the PDP-11 assembly language than their actual instruction sets.
> The 1970s car had a ton of parts and mechanisms only professionals could fix.

Tip from one that has been running Silverblue for years: VSCode or any other editor from flatpak is a noob trap.

Yeah, I know now it's much more usable because it now integrates my host-spawn (https://github.com/1player/host-spawn) tool, but the easiest setup is to have a toolbox/distrobox container for work and dev, where you install all your tools.

I have been using an Arch Linux container (that starts at boot) with emacs, nvim, the myriad of LSP tools that are only found in AUR, exported with `distrobox-export` so I can start them from my dock.

Flatpak is for everything else (even Steam), but dev tools, editors and any other package should be installed inside a regular pet container.

I had both a Z80 (Sinclair Spectrum) and a 6502 (Commodore 64) machine.

For programming, the Z80 was by far the more elegant instruction set.

In the next generation, I conciderd the Motorolla 68000 to be the 'feels good' successor of the Z80, and Intel's 8086 the 'chaotic mess' heir of the 6502.
Ask HN: Influx of startups expected in view of layoffs?
I've been wondering, now that the layoffs are in full swing, and people get months worth of severance in advance, does this mean we're about to see an influx of startups? I would expect at least some to go on and make a business of their own, especially the people who spent 5-10 years at the company, and would naturally want to shake it up with a major change in their routine.
OP here and you know I'm with you, I actually love handwriting HTML. Auto-closing tags in VSCode comes in very handy too.

Just thought I'd post this "novel" idea since most people do love their MD.
Here's a place where automation and even EV would be _highly_ useful: "yard dogs."

Like I said, there's lots of "drop and hooks" in the industry, where your job is to leave a trailer behind somewhere and pick a new one up at that same place. That hub then needs a truck to go move the trailer from the spot, to the warehouse, then back again.

Trailers are numbered in a serialized fashion. Parking lots could be mapped with insane precision. Loading docks would need minimal upgrades. You could have a mostly automated warehouse freight yard logistics system. You generally have lots of power and only so many moves in a day so EV would be a big winner in any non-wintering lot, for a good reduction in diesel usage.

Okay.. now you can start thinking about tight integration between the trucks electronic communication system sending gps position updates to the warehouse enabling just in time trailer movements on the lot so a trucker might be able to breeze into and out of the lot in 5 minutes with everything waiting and queued up at the front gate for him. Now he doesn't need to navigate a strange lot at 5mph trying to find the right place to drop and the right trailer to grab, a good source of errors.

Now you can get into moving the EV automated yard dog off the lot and into the hands of larger customers like big box construction stores. A truck could be dropped off at a convenient place in the lot and a small mover could go grab it and maneuver it into the local dock. You could tighten up the spacing on those docks and put them in places a full tractor couldn't possibly pull them into. This also prevents the safety issue where the trucker can move the trailer before the business has finished with it, a good source of injuries.

Anyways.. silicon valley is focused completely on the wrong side and scale of the problems. There's so many "little things" where EV and automation could do wonders. Instead, everybody with a touching back story and a high valuation imagines themselves being able to become the next monopolistic transport baron at the cost of everyone else.

You didn't ask.. but..
As I suspect you know, Scotland has a distinct legal system from England & Wales, and large differences to England in laws around house buying & selling in particular.
Go is not a functional language.

The most common complaint against Go seems to be "My favourite programming language has X, why doesn't Go has X??"

MTA-STS Adoption Among the Top 1M Domains in 2024
Just 0.3% of domains implemented an MTA-STS TXT record. 571 (19.5%) of these domains have implementation errors (see complete list below). Among the valid MTA-STS implementations, 54.3% publish an 'enforce' policy, while 45% have opted for a 'testing' policy. In summary, 1278 domains leverage MTA-STS to fortify their defenses against Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) downgrade attacks.
If it keeps on doubling like this, a fraction of the installed base may be affected by this some 10-15 years down the line. That's kind of how the math works out. Most batteries around that time will be new ones. And that seems to be the time line that these things are sold for. They might have quite a bit of life in them beyond that of course. It's not like they just stop working.

In any case, we're talking about first and second generation products here adapted from batteries designed for the automotive industry. It works and it's great but there are better options coming to market that are more optimal for grid storage. Ten years from now, this market is going to be very different in terms of cost, performance, longevity, and volumes produced and deployed.

The world's electricity production per year is around 25 pwh (25000 twh) per year. So, you can do some back of the envelope math on that. We're going from hundreds of gwh to twh of battery produced per year in the next years (overall, not just grid). Each of those batteries is good for thousands of charging cycles. So if you were to charge and cycle each battery every day to add up to 1/365th of 25pw, you end up with a number of around 70twh of battery that is needed. We don't actually need that much of course since there are other options on the grid. But it just shows you that it could be doable and might be what we have in the field in a few decades. A few twh of battery on standby goes a long way and might just sit there fully charged most of the time.
Uhm. When I grew up in .de I've been part of the youth movement collecting 'Vorsichtsbefehle' and 'Bremszettel' from the engineers in their locomotives.

We were thrilled when we spotted the Lufthansa Airport Express https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_403_(1973) , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_VT_11.5 , or gave us free cab-rides from Bonn to Cologne, or Koblenz and back on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_103 !

Later from about 1990 to 2008 in different parts of Germany (mostly Rhine-Ruhr-Area and Hamburg) whenever I saw lots of people on bridges or roadsides with cameras and tripods I knew there was something special on approach, and stopped if time permitted. It was often worthwhile because of thundering steam :-)

Meanwhile I moved away and visit only 1 to 2 times per year, but it still is like this. Maybe you are not watching? Or your ways don't go along where the rail tracks are, often enough?

Thinking about it, I haven't seen any of it over the whole Covid-phase. That was a definitive dent. I hope it starts again.
My favorite Hopper painting (and comparatively little known as compared to things like "Nighthawks") is "House by the Railroad" (1925) -- a vaguely menacing Victorian style house which apparently inspired Norman Bates' house in Psycho, the Addams' house in the Addams Family, and the house in the James Dean movie Giant.

There are a number of special trains which are only passing now and then, so yes. Sometimes they're just painted in a special way, but at other times they're different physically, with maybe extra facilities (I went a couple of times on some sets which had newly installed coffee machines in a designated car. The train also had a very different (and nice) look. Used for the 'limited express' service).

Pretty good, but not complete because the money is gone in a game's sink, whereas in the economy it's more cyclic. In theory.

That said, video game economics are pretty fascinating. I love reading writeups on Eve Online economics. I play FFXIV myself which isn't as good as Eve when it comes to economy, but interesting in its own rights. I wish it had buy orders and the ability to buy individual items instead of whole stacks, lol.

That is quite normal in Denmark as well. Part of the reason is that the bank cannot approve of the deal, if you have not sold your old house. So either you sell your house and move into a rented apartment, or you commit to buy a house if you can get your old sold in some specified timeframe. Usually the sellers realtor advice the seller if the house is likely to sell or not at a given price.
Not many people put their money where their mouth is. Romania is definitely not a popular place to move to from UK/EU.
>Are PC laptops going to catch up?

x86 has to scale from embedded boards to laptops to servers. AMD made different trade offs than Apple.

Apple chose to achieve a level of performance by keeping the frequency low and having a high IPC. High IPC means that cores consume a larger size of the die. That helped with lower power consumption.

x86 makers like AMD, did the other way around. They dedicated a smaller portion of the die to a core. That makes it cheaper. To make up for that, they used a higher frequency, which also means a higher power consumption.

Apple also has a node advantage, which also makes their CPUs more expensive.

AMD could totally do what Apple did: have faster IPC at lower power consumption if they would have release more expensive CPUs targeted at the mobile market.

But AMD and Apple have different goals.

If we stick to the mobile world, Qualcomm is doing with their Orion cores just what Apple did with their M cores. In the first half of this year we will see laptops with Orion cores that will have both strong IPC and low power consumption.

System Design Fundamentals: What Is a Load Balancer?
The USPS used it when I worked there in the 90s. They used 24 hour days with 100 ticks of 36 seconds per each hour. The time clocks operated in this format.

Which was interesting, until you also realized, they expected you to clock in precisely at the start of your shift, giving you a 36 second window to do it in.

On the first day I was wondering why there were so many time clocks for the size of the office and then I witnessed the shift change "stampede" that this policy incidentally created.
