I think you've found a legitimate use for this. (As a stopgap measure, for better education.)

Sadly, I don't think that will be the majority of the use.

Also, if this were the target use case, the use case could be adapted to the larger problem of tutoring/coaching feedback, to help the person learn and improve, not "write my essay for me, I don't much care what it says, just make me look smart".
I don't think it does?

> Google's v5p TPUs are up to 2.8 times faster at training large language models than TPU v4, and offer 2.1-times value-for-money.

That's a comparison of TPUv5p to TPUv4, not to H100.
I found setting up complex train networks in factorio pretty annoying. Your less than ideal designs can’t really be modified in dense areas without tearing up half the factory. I ended up just trying to chuck signals at the problem but every 20 mins or so the timing of the trains would deadlock.

Very excited to see all the new tools and combinator logic controls. It seems like a whole new bag of tricks to deal with train issues.

Now that things will be multi planetary, I am wondering how we will deal with biter/scheduling issues when off planet.
Hasn't this always been the case? I remember they released TPUs at IO 2018, and they were nice if you build FP16/FP32 models in Google Cloud TensorFlow/CoLab and never ever port them to anything else. Meanwhile the cool new open source stuff coming out every week usually requires a GPU and is rarely compatible with TPU without major changes. If you wait a few months a TPU compatible copycat appears on the Keras demos page but by then you've lost interest.
I'm disappointed the article neglects to mention the use of actual coal in Kingsford briquettes. I imagine charcoal alone would not be energy-rich enough to get the temperatures.

Anyway, the environmental permit applications for their plant in West Virginia (close proximity to coal) are available online and make for interesting reading: https://dep.wv.gov/daq/permitting/titlevpermits/Documents/Ma...
https://dep.wv.gov/daq/permitting/titlevpermits/Documents/No...

For example, one can learn that their VOC emissions are in excess of 100 tons/year or that they can use 80,000 tons of coal per year. I guess folks that are willing to saturate their food in vapors of lighting fluid wouldn't care about a little bit of coal...
Is this based on any assertions or just how they feel?

While the overall ration might not be terribly high, one can read again and again about cases where Apple did reject apps or app updates out of the blue. Some got resolved later on, others not. A common theme is, that you don't really have a direct point of contact, you can only send appeals to Apple. And when they decide to block you, you are done. There is no alternative. I wonder why lawmakers have not dealt with this topic yet, but alternative app stores would go quite a way of reducing the problem.
I wasn't familiar with the the Analog Discovery. Seems good value as it covers a lot of bases in one go.

30 Mhz is a bit low, but would cover the lower speed digital stuff which is what I need a scope for most of the time.

Two scope channels, some logic analyser channels, ideally 50 MHz, ideally 12 bit. That works at as about £500 from Picoscope which is pretty cheap. I was astonished at these Spectrum Analyzers and I was wondering if there was something from china at a fraction of that.

Props to the team, this is great work.

I've been trialing Preview 2 for the last couple of months to good results.

I do have one problem though and can't seem to find a good way forward. My use case is to use WASM for the data processing modules in a tile-based simulation game/engine. This involves passing around large (many MB) buffers. For any semblance of performance the data cannot be copied between modules and needs to be passed by reference.

To that end, I've implemented Resources. However, getting data out of a resource still requires copying (wasm-bindgen makes the return types from accessors owned Vec<>). I've resorted to just passing u32 memory offsets since all of the modules are sharing one Memory.

Would love some guidance on this as I've scoured the Internet and simply can't find the right solution, if there even is one.

Nice, thanks. I wonder by how much. Here is why I ask:

a lot of technical analysis is done on psychological levels related to (in my opinion) SPY strike prices/SPX strike prices/SPX levels.

Yet, /ES is typically 20 points ahead of SPX. For example, there can be a battle zone of support/resistance at 4900 on SPX, but /ES blew past it a day ago. I wasn't sure if one had more power/prominence than the other.
> The world is overwhelmingly pro Palestine

That's arguable, certainly in the west at least. Even if most people oppose the current war/atrocities that doesn't mean that they generally favour Palestine (or especially Hamas..) over Israel (.e.g. like you didn't have to be pro-Sadam to oppose the war in Iraq).
How are you finding it?
The ruling also ordered Hamas to release all hostages, and Hamas has previously claimed they would abide by any ruling of the court. I find it unlikely though that they will comply.
Yes and let's extend that - if you can't cut the tether then you're renting it and they have to keep it up to spec and comply with some rental regulations. If you decide it's not for you within an agreed lifetime of the device they have to refund the proportional difference.

> Dynamic linking served us when OS upgrades came infrequently, user software was almost never upgraded

Even today, dynamic linking is not only a security feature but also serves convenience. A security fix in OpenSSL or libwebp can be applied to everything that uses them by just updating those libraries instead of having to rebuild userland, with Firefox, Emacs, and so on.
Exactly this. Windows apps aren't distributed as Docker images. Guess why...
There are no benchmarks in this s*t article, just SWAGs. If this chip doesn't support FP8, there's no way it's going to beat the H100 on workloads that matter.

It’s basically academia washing for the new tech bubble.

They saw how closely and uncritically people followed papers about COVID and realized if they released “papers” about whatever llm product they were working on it would lend some kind of credibility that they never got with cryptocurrency or Web 3.0 or the metaverse.
A few notes: Nvidia always announces their hardware in advance of availability, while Google typically announces some time after they've started using it internally. Also TPU has been more cost-focused than Nvidia, since Google uses these chips internally to serve their web traffic while Nvidia is supply constrained and can name their price right now, plus they don't pay the electricity bills.

There are also a few things wrong with the specs you quoted. 282 GB is split between two GPUs, it's 144 GB per GPU (not sure where the extra 6 GB went). The TPU pod throughput number you quoted is interconnect bandwidth which you compared to GH200's memory bandwidth. Those numbers are not comparable.

I believe GH200 does beat TPU v5p per chip, however the differences are not anywhere near as large as your comparison suggested. And it's likely that TPU v5p is dramatically more cost effective but we don't have Google's internal numbers to prove that.
I work extensively in PHP, am rather fond of it, and have built out quite a lot of tooling in the language. The reputation it has from the early 00s is quite mismatched against its current capabilities and I'm glad to see more people picking it up. The API you've put together is modern and follows a lot of the best practices so thanks for your hard work!
Also totally get other reasons why you may not want to develop on ios, but just state them. Dont play games.
Certainly the Apple cables aren’t quality. Or perhaps the better word is durable. The jacketing on the cables is a joke and gets worn through by a swift breeze.

Third-party cables, for whatever connector, you get what you pay for. Is it a shame I have a good number of lightning cables that I will have no use for in the near future? Yes.

I also have countless other cables that I longer have use for. I still haven’t been able to fully remove micro-usb from my life but we’re getting close and I’m glad for it. It would be much nicer to only have one type of cable in my bag, that’s for sure.
Home Depot has a program where you can buy stock at a discount. IIRC, you set aside the amount you want to purchase, wait 3 months, and then they sell you the stock at 15% under the lowest value seen during that time frame. It was their version of an employee discount, but I don't think the program was used all that often.

Also I have been testing out PWAs in various different browsers (non-Safari) this last month and...ahem...I have been unimpressed.

I also think ad tech companies will prefer native apps for major markets (iOS) because it is tougher to block ads. PWAs tend not to support content blockers at the moment, but there certainly can.
I'm not versed in this, so apologies for the stupid question, but wouldn't statically linking be more secure, if anything? Or at least have potentially better security?

> Third, lithium is a tiny fraction of the cost of an electric vehicle. LFP batteries have around 160 grams of lithium per kWh, so a typical car battery (60-90kWh) has 10-15kg of lithium. The spot price for lithium is $15/kg, so the materials cost per car is around $150-250. If lithium prices went up by a factor of 10, the cost of the car would only go up by 5%. In contrast, doubling the price of petroleum almost doubles the cost of driving.

From what I've read this causes the lithium market to be very chaotic.

Supply is complicated and capital intensive to bring online while the demand is essentially inelastic.

Time it right and you make a fortunes.
Thanks! Most of those seem like a fair trade-off for portability… for an app.

I’m not sure it’s a great idea for an OS as in the OP, but I do like that they claim accurate incremental rebuilds, to ensure everything get updated. Certainly an interesting experiment!

Edit: just to clarify, I meant "app" as in "something that isn't part of the OS/distribution".
> this process is not finished until browser competition on iOS is deemed fair.

But, by the same token, the laws as put into place outline none of the specifics of how that should actually function. All the EU did was wave its hand, say “browsers, please” and assumed that magically a perfect outcome would occur.

Well, now that lack of clarity is biting the EU in the ass, because it left Apple a ton of wiggle room. What Apple has announced of 17.4 changes is essentially a lawyer’s answer to the actual legal requirements imposed on them, not the ones the EU were implying.
In California the price actually is hitting zero sometimes during the day [1], which means that at that time, it's not economically valuable at all - nobody wants it. Rather, cutting back is valuable. Other kinds of electricity generation are easier to shut down, though, so they go first. This is graphed as "curtailment" [2].

Surplus electricity could hypothetically be put to use, but something would need to built to take advantage. (Perhaps batteries or some other load.)

And Asgard's Wrath 2, Angry Birds VR, The 7th Guest, etc.

VR titles on MQ3 are great. The MQ3 comes with an awesome MR demo that you might miss because it has a stupid name. They opened up the API for MR apps to developers not long after the MQ3 hit the streets but MR apps have been slow to show up in the store, I did preorder Demeter which the headset should have downloaded yesterday so I should check it out.

Big picture the MQ3 is based on Android the same way the AVP is based on iOS but unlike the AVP you can sideload apps to the MQ3. There is not really a "metaverse" but rather an app store that works a lot like a phone or game console. Horizon Worlds shows some of the difficulties w/ the "metaverse" concept, namely there is just so much geometry and texture data you can hold in a headset so you are limited to at most 20 players, at the cost of having a simpler world than the 8 player, and you can't use your own textures -- brand Z can't use their logo and I can't make worlds based on photography and visual art like I want to) Asgard's Wrath 2 is amazing as a single-player game but a game like that today on consoles would feel the need to have multiplayer features but AW2 only has a leaderboard and the occasional meaningless corpse. Given Facebook's market position you'd think they'd be working on multiplayer but multiplayer experiences are thin on the ground right now.

MQ and AVP and Magic Leap and Hololens 2 all support WebXR and I found it really stunning to share a space with a boulder from Mars that a grad student built a 3-d model based on images from the Pathfinder rover and the great thing is you can make worlds like that with

that work on headsets and work on desktop computers, phones, etc.
No. The fundamental flaw in this reasoning is the assumption that overwhelming victory is what established the current world order.

Rebuilding Europe via the Marshall plan, which involved humanization of individuals who fought on behalf of evil, is why there is peace in Europe. Likewise, the US reconstruction of Japan is why the US and Japan are at peace.

The US held the position of power and chose not to exercise it tyrannically. That is why there is peace.

The native American case is much closer to supporting your argument because genoicdal efforts were made against them and they were forced to submit, and then tyrannical power was exercised over them, maybe even to this day. However again, Native Americans participate in American civil society, there have been (probably insufficient) efforts for reparations, they do have land where they administer their own laws. In some locations native American heritage is celebrated and native American culture is promoted.

There is relative peace with native Americans because we are not particularly tyrannical, and I would say for the most part, modern Americans see Native Americans as humans not "savages."

Seeing your enemies as equally valid humans, who might have done things you would do if you grew up under their conditions, is what creates peace.

Peace is a function of humanization, not a function of victory. Victory without humanization does not end the cycle of violence.
To my knowledge, China is a signatory to UNCLOS, but has disputes around it's "islands" in the South China Sea and their relation to the EEZ. I acknowledge that China's relationship to UNCLOS, as a minimum, is complicated and rapidly evolving, but I dispute that they do not have a right to transit passage. Or to be more specific, I would put forward that they would have a plausible argument to claim transit passage.

The United States has not ratified UNCLOS, and regularly claims the right of Transit Passage. In fact, this fact is one of the reasons why Iran claims that the United States cannot enter into Iranian TTW while making a Strait of Hormuz transit - because the US has not ratified UNCLOS, their claim is that the US cannot claim transit passage. For the United States (or any Western Nation) to make the claim that China cannot claim Transit Passage would lend weight to Iran's argument, which you can imagine, they would not want to do.

I do not want to make any assumptions around your specific views on this matter - you may hold the opinion that China could not claim transit passage, however I wanted to interject some perspective that:

1. That may not be universally agreed upon
2. Specifically, the United States and it's allies may not make that argument because it would put them in a negative position for other international disputes.
The ruling didn't, and couldn't given the ICJ’s jurisdiction, order Hamas to do anything: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39149823

No, Hamas previously claimed that they would observe a ceasefire if the court imposed one on Israel, conditioned on Israeli compliance with the same. They didn't say they would do anything related to anything other than an ceasefire order.

It'll be dull if your team has more people than real work. It'll be dull if your team can't articulate what the problem it solves or why it matters. It'll be dull if you are solving a problem that has better solution somewhere else. It's not about company size, but about culture and project. It was not dull to build the first version of S3 or EC2 or DyanmoDB. It was not dull to come up with Chrome or JAX or TPU. It was not dull to drive the project of Vision Pro or iPhone or Apple Watch. It was not dull to build Github Copilot.

It's just that statistically speaking one has fewer chance per 1000 employee to work on something fun without being dragged by company culture in a huge company.
Yes, that is exactly what Israel should do. The "dont let gazans interact with Israelis" strategy was icnredibly effective until Israel got soft on border security. Israel easily is capable of ensuring no Gazans ever escape again. The iron dome is largely succesful at keeping Israelis safe, certainly more so than a long term gazan invasion which would open up the Israelis in gaza to terrorist attacks.
I'm sure people use thread pools for things like loading files off disk, but in general you have tasks with predictable loads that you can just dedicate threads to. You're rendering the game at a certain frame rate, playing audio, and at least somewhat predictable networking load.

> chapter in their country's respective histories and a major cultural movement against the possibility of those kinds of atrocities happening again

It's true that that's the case today. But it took a while for this transition to occur. Basically, the entire wartime generation had to retire/die out. In the 50s and 60s Germans were still very keen about downplaying the atrocities (even if they of course recognized that they occurred) and especially being very lenient towards war criminal and even protecting them from foreign governments (e.g. Heinrich Boere).

> That's exactly the point, at least how I'm reading it. Between the US and Japan peace and diplomacy was allowed to rule instead of constant violent retaliation.

What diplomacy? The US destroyed Japan's military, bombed Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki (the latter two with nuclear weapons), killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. The Japanese surrendered unconditionally.

Then the US occupied Japan while directing the construction of a new Japanese government.

I don't see any diplomacy there.
