Imo the best solution would be special "fast" floating-point types, that have less strict requirements.

I personal almost always use -ffast-math by default in my C programs that care about performance, because I almost never care enough about the loss in accuracy. The only case I remember needing it was when doing some random number distribution tests where I cared about subnormals, and got confused for a second because they didn't seem to exist (-ffast-math disables them on x86).

You don't need the receiver's type because you're calling `MethodByName` on a `reflect.Value` which you can construct from any receiver.

I have an 11th gen and have terrible battery life. Always have. I would not describe the Linux support from Framework as sterling but bad battery life remains the same between my Linux and Windows sides if a little better on Windows.
> 96% example code with modifications hacked in to make it work.

This is 96% of how ML is used in practice by companies. Most parameter optimization should be automated by whatever library you’re using, beyond basic sanity checking. The challenging parts are creating high-quality training data and deploying the models efficiently at scale.
Yes, clearly the US needed less sedans and more F150s.
There's an envelope, rather than a single line, but one line that makes up that envelope is AWD, such that some models without optional AWD are cars, but trucks with optional AWD
The #1 thing that makes it ‘hard’ in real life is that nobody wants to make training and test sets. So we have 50,000 papers on the NIST digits but no insight into ‘would this work for a different problem?’ (Ironically the latter might have been exactly what academics would have needed to understand why these algorithms work!)

This is a good take on it — I also like running mine off microSD cards, which makes it trivially easy to swap OSes when I'm tinkering.

It's a different type of device for a different purpose than standard desktop computing.

I would be interested in a Pi 500 if they decide to make one, but would really like having an M.2 2280 slot built in. Anything else would be a bonus. I have a Pi 400 set up for my kids to use to learn typing and mess around (I put some old Mac/DOS emulators on it and all my ancient apps from my old computers).
I think the current view of many scholars is that the Roman D20s were for gaming use as well, if not primarily for gaming use. I would love to see the most recent scholarship on this, though. I assume the actual game is somewhat lost to time: game rules don't generally get written down in any medium that is durable enough to survive thousands of years.
There are techniques to disable nodes that fail testing, so it shouldn't be a problem (within reason).

Found an iPhone in the snow on Sunday. Had to google how to unlock it / get contact information. "swipe up" it said on the screen. Nothing happened. It was a lie. You need to "swipe from the bottom of the screen". Not intuitive at all.
Respectfully, I find it hard to believe that every decorative object was in turn immortalized in art, that seems pretty recursive.
My biggest frustration with Mozilla, is how they force me to use other browsers for some tasks. I'm a die-hard Firefox user on Mac, Windows, and Android, but if I want to use PWAs then I'm forced to use a Chromium-based browser. This is the most nonsensical decision Mozilla have made about Firefox, but there are other frustrations too - like if I want to configure my keyboard, I have to switch to Chrome to use the VIA configuration app.

It's fine for Mozilla to complain about other platforms/vendors harming them, but they also seem to like shooting themselves in the foot too.
Google Chrome for Mac Gets Generative AI Features
I think it’s the ability to understand any language through sound. Presumably other languages learned lean heavily on what you already know from other languages.
I think the meaning is clear given the full context of my comment.

It is ridiculous for a home owner to expect the value of their home to rise faster than inflation by a significant margin without there being massive improvements to either the home itself or the neighborhood.

And skyrocketing housing prices means the rich get richer while utterly fucking over the young generation and locking them out of home ownership as prices rise significantly faster than wages.
In my opinion, current SOTA machine learning / deep learning is actually quite simple on a conceptual level. January last year, I decided to give it one year to understand transformers on a "I could totally code that" level. There were so many good video tutorials and texts that after 2 months there wasn't so much left to learn. In particular, the math did not feel much more difficult than what I learned in high school (and much easier than what we did in university). I think this is a particularity of those DL approaches that don't need much more than some (higher dimensional) linear algebra and calculus. There are other AI or ML approaches that I cannot even grasp on a superficial level, but fortunately (from a learner's perspective) DL has completely eaten machine learning, for the time being.

Nevertheless, that entire field depends so much on complex heuristics and subtle optimizations that I completely understand that learning and getting an intuition for those details takes a long time (and is more akin to black magic). The development experience is absolutely horrible. Debugging a model takes such a long time, is rather expensive, and observability is absolutely dismal (at least it was a year ago). It really felt like debugging a program into existence by staring at graphs and retrying infinitely many times.
there are uncountable sets all over the place, and in practical terms, the repl loop may have a week long training lag after you hit enter.

also, the data is almost always complete shit.

lol. there’s no mystery why it’s hard.
There's also a significant constituency that believes any nationwide system of identity is the "mark of the beast" as spoken of in the Bible.
What I've found in reality is that machine learning is 99% data cleaning scripts and 1% the part you're talking about. I've also seen the heavy duty statistics people writing data cleaning python scripts which probably leads to a lot of frustrations :)

Stick pushers aren't anything new, and the sad irony is that except for the two tragedies, MCAS worked so well that in the thousands of flight hours the Max had, no pilot had even noticed it.

It absolutely was the fault of the engineers who failed to realize what would happen with an AOA fault. I'd love to be corrected, I don't believe a single email from the engineers to management telling them would would happen was ever dug up. And, there's never been an engineer whistleblower saying "I warned them."

Has a single PE lost their license over the Max?

Chiming in to say that this precisely our observation. The existing ML/DL libraries are not bad as far as those types of things go. In fact, Pytorch is an amazing library IMO. Especially compared to TensorFlow, Caffe and the stuff that came before that.

But like George points out in the article, unlike "traditional" software, ML requires iteration, data management, monitoring, specific infra reqs, and so on. So our take was that libraries would never be enough, hence the SaaS offering.

Locales do control where the data is stored. For example:

on here.gpus[0] {
// now we are on a GPU sublocale...
var DevArr:[1..10] int; // allocated on the device memory
...
}

In the near term, we are planning to publish our 2nd GPU blog post where we will discuss how to move data between device and host.
I pay more than $4000 / month in rent. In order to reduce this my SO or I would have to leave a respective dream job or spend 3-4 hours a day commuting.

Even if we thought ditching dream jobs was something worth doing, we would only be trading into lower income / less fulfilling jobs to enter a historically awful housing market.
The peer reviewers are clearly capable of going back and reviewing the new criticism about the paper at the direction of the journal and deciding, “Yes. We didn’t see this at the time but the criticism is valid and the paper should be withdrawn.”

Note that there is presently no note on the publications that the papers should not be relied on in any way. The authors are pretending there is no problem which is utterly ridiculous and embarrassingly so. I’m not ok with that as the status quo. I don’t think anyone should be.
I don't remember Mozilla ever having a repo for Debian packages. Did I miss something?
it's basically an HN trope at this point. Multiple times I've posted an accurate, factual statement only to have some goober say "*akshually* I think that's wrong." At which point i have to come back and comment again, and say, "no, I'm not wrong."

and the goobers themselves could just take a few seconds to verify their claims, but yet they don’t. slinging inaccuracies as fast as possible here, seems to be their only optimization function.

i don’t get it!
Ask HN: What percent of your new hires are coming from Tier 2/3 Cities?
As remote work continues to dominate, I’m trying to understand the trends in hiring across the US/Canada (and abroad)

Of newly hired employees, what percent would you say came from a:

- Tier 1 City (ex: NYC/SF)
- Tier 2 City (ex: Austin/San Diego)
- Tier 3 City (ex: Anywhere not in other tiers)
- Overseas (ex: Europe/Latin America/Asia)

Are you noticing that some roles tend to be recruited from certain tiers more than others? (Ex: Software developer - Tier 3 City)

How has this trend changed over time at your company?
The approach is interesting, my main take is that this type of design has become prevalent and quite standard: it felt to me like I had seen that identity on 5 different brands. With that in mind, is it really an identity if it's the same as everyone else?
I agree but at the same time if you look at how laughable many CVPR reviews are, I kinda wish the community had more math and statistics knowledge. But that might also be a different issue...

FWIW, there are a lot of works that do get in deep to the mathematics of ML and I find these absolutely helpful. Anyone that says theory doesn't help practice hasn't read theory or is operating in bad faith. ML uses A LOT of math, but you just don't need it to create good and/or working models. I think the distinction is important.

Here in the US the average person relying on public transit commutes 47 minutes each way.

Most workplaces aren't social clubs much less families. It doesn't make one a sod to pick their friends and family and their work for different reasons and be jealous with their free time. You should celebrate your great fortune and I'm certain work put in to have your life figured out so well.

Most of us settle if we are lucky for something that pays enough to live with a reasonable work life balance and would do well to guard our time to spend with real friends and family we pick rather than the folks who happen to work in the same profession.
I'm very against this trend. It's a bit like how compact cars have been slowly ruined by getting bigger and bigger.

>"The latter has only been managed by Cerebras so far, but it looks like Chinese developers are looking towards them as well."

Cerebra's wafer has 850,000 cores which totally dwarves 1600 cores on Chinese wafer. I did read though that Cerebra cores optimized for tensor ops. Does Chinese version have more universal cores or it just way smaller clone of Cerebra?
"Moving Day was a tradition in New York City dating back to colonial times and lasting until after World War II. On February 1, sometimes known as "Rent Day", landlords would give notice to their tenants what the new rent would be after the end of the quarter,[1] and the tenants would spend good-weather days in the early spring searching for new houses and the best deals.[2] On May 1,[3] all leases in the city expired simultaneously at 9:00 am, causing thousands of people to change their residences, all at the same time.[4][5]"
When I first learned programming, I was surprised how you hardly need any mathematics for anything. There are some exceptions, like video game engines. But those exceptions were not what 99% of software engineers were doing.

But now machine learning is another such exception where non-trivial mathematics is important.
During my previous job, when we were migrating to Kubernetes I couldn’t really find a GUI app that I liked, and most importantly, that could connect to multiple clusters simultaneously. We had 6 clusters and having to switch context constantly was annoying

I ended up building one [1] to use myself, shared with a few people and they loved it. I asked if they’d pay for it and to my surprise, a lot of people said yes. I’ve put up a website and a “pre-order” button with a regressive monthly discount. Sales were going up month after month, and a few months later I decided to quit my job to go all in on it.

Today, I’m averaging on ~€5k/mo from this app, but I’m still doing some part time freelancing, as well as building other products that are not as successful, but are making >€1000/mo

The latest one is open source, privacy friendly analytics for apps [2] that I’m still very actively working on. This is my current “side project” as the previous side project became my main job :)

USAA actually does push passcodes using their app.

The banks' understanding of security is so poor that they push people to use voice or fingerprint authentication. My wife constantly fights Wells Fargo about it every time she calls them because they want to helpfully sign her up for their voiceprint service so she doesn't have to use her PIN anymore. She used to work in a retail cellphone store so has heard tons of horror stories of people signing up for the same and then getting their voice deepfaked by a telemarketer to access their accounts.

One advantage of installing it this way is that touch input and touchpad gestures work out of the box, since Firefox now uses wayland by default.

AR and VR is a wasteland where money gets burned on ideas that have not advanced much since 1990s and the first Virtuality devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuality_(product) in terms of being more useful than an Apple Watch, an iPhone, or a laptop for pretty much anything. A computer does not get better when you wear it.

Realistically, for a VR headset to be successful it would need to be as light as a baseball cap and have a ~12h power source that would not cause overheating of the wearer's head.

AppleVision is going nowhere. Apple is a mass market manufacturer of status products with a limited lifespan and support. When they work and are supported they generally offer great experience for the money. Apple Car and AppleVision are not such products, but evolutionary dead ends in Apple's history, just like Newton or Apple Network Server. Apple is investing money into an old personal transportation platform when the future of transportation will be based on something else and that "something else" will emerge out of new ideas for urban planning. Some of the tech developed for those products may make its way into those new modes of transport, but it will take a while and may lesser impact than we think.

Perhaps it straddles the line between 3 and 4. I don't see much of a distinction between the passenger taking over, and a first responder taking over. Would Waymo put cars on the road that don't have pedals and a steering wheel if it were cheaper to do so? I don't think they would. I think they want a backup in case the car has to be driven by a human.

Right now people are following along because Tesla is the market leader and they see the cars on the street, but they rely heavily on media and word of mouth for marketing. I think they're very vulnerable to an Apple marketing blitz, but it sounds like it's not happening, so it's all hypothetical.

A few years ago I saw frequent signs from my social set that Tesla was considered a great innovator and a really cool company. The news has not been good the last year, and I haven't heard any sentiments like that in a while.
That's really odd. I worked in samsung parts for a few years. While screen/frame assemblies were very common, the battery was always separate. Batteries generally got stored separately, and shipping requirements also provide some onus to keep them apart.

Particularly after seeing the pull adhesive strips in Pixel/iPhone I thought that would have become the norm.

Handheld game console's display can rotate for landscape or portrait mode
Yes. A few common issues.

- Language

- Cultural differences, including things like time off, work hours

- Timezone differences causing large delays in communication

On top of those issues, employers who haven’t hired internationally may worry about tax and legal implications. The potential employee may have those concerns too, and expect the employer to deal with all of it.

While straightforward solutions like B2B contracting (described in other comments) simplify the tax and legal issues at the US end (but maybe not at the other end), international hiring is a novelty for many employers, so they may avoid it out of worry and ignorance, or cultural bias.

Wayfair Layoffs Focused on Remote Workers

According to the article, they are betting on Betfair. When the race starts, you have a delay in placing new bets (5-10 seconds) but no delay in cancelling bets. Given they are ahead of the official live feed by just few seconds, it should leave enough time for a misplaced bet to be cancelled before they can take it. I am quite surprised they have an edge here, I might miss something.
