What's scary about this question is the lack of regard to safety in most US manufacturing facilities that employ lasers. Union shops tend to be up to par with safety standards, but if you go to the smaller shops, laser cutting and engraving is often performed by an unsecured machine with broken or missing cabinet parts or optical fencing. I travel to a lot of these shops to perform repairs on a variety of equipment my employer distributes and I can't remember the last time my log didn't include notes to have sales recommend the needed safety measures for the device. This neglect to safety seems to be just accepted by the workers and met with reluctant compliant by management, with everyone pointing to how inconvenient and "unnecessary" some safety measures are.

If anyone things OSHA has a handle on this issue, they are delusional. Without a major accident happening, most of these small shops can play by their own rules simply because the body enforcing them is stretched ridiculously thin.

So, thank you for asking this. It's insane to me how many do not bother to ask.

It's a very small country after all. Israel needs to deal with Iran who is supported by Russia and to a lesser extent by China. How long can Israel make it alone against the world's biggest superpowers without the U.S on its side?

And even if Israel can make it like North Korea, I don't think most Israelis would want that kind of life of being completely isolated from the world. If Israeli existence is reduced to isolation and extreme poverty - most would give up I think.

There's still too much change in the stdlib APIs to make 'tutorial style documentation' worth the effort, because they will most likely be outdated within a couple of weeks or months.

There's an auto-generated documentation here (with many parts still 'under-documented': https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/

...but the best option is usually to just look right into the stdlib source code to figure out how things are supposed to work (IME stdlib code is generally easy to read, and easy to find - and with the VSCode ZLS plugin you can also directly lookup the stdlib source code by clicking on a stdlib type or function call).

For larger-scale changes, keep track of Github issues and PRs (those are usually extensively documented) or ask around on the Discord, folk are actually very helpful there.

Devil's advocate: using an Internet-public domain for internal purposes will publicly expose your internal hostnames if you enable DNSSEC on the Internet-public domain. This is a problem if you're required to enable DNSSEC, e.g. for FedRAMP compliance.

The number of cases where this is actually a legitimate concern, IMO, is extremely small, and I'm personally of the opinion that using Internet-public domains for internal purposes is generally fine. But it's still important to point out that the number of cases is not zero.
As I recall Stephen Wolfram posited water-based computing a while back.
You can use a proper certificate with any domain you like.

> You're assuming that (a) reviewers not finding any methodology flaws in the paper means there are none, and (b) no flaws in the paper means no flaws in the work

No, you are assuming that with your flawed understanding of what a journal is and what peer review does. Like this isn’t a matter of opinion. Peer review in fact and by design is not a stamp of veracity. The reason is exactly the conundrum you’ve backed into.

If someone produces apparently high-quality science that challenges a well-regarded theory, it is only under your model that paper cannot be published. Under our model (the one currently in use today), the reviewers are expected to try to find holes in the methodology and, if they can’t find them, publish the paper anyway even if they disbelieve the conclusion. That way the broader scientific community can attempt to blow holes in the paper, and they frequently find things the authors and the peer reviewers missed. That is not a shot against the publisher: that is how science must work because of exactly the dynamic you’ve identified.

Bitcoin is dead, but it was a good try
"A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution"

Here's what Satoshi wrote on the famous Bitcoin whitepaper.

My view on bitcoin is that it was the first iteration of (hopefully) many more, but it's now dead.

I've been working, studying, and passionate about the blockchain industry and crypto-"currencies" for five years. I think most people would call me a "Bitcoin Maximalist" (I also loved Ethereum). But I also think it's time to be honest. Here's some of my brain juice about some problems crypto and Bitcoin are facing.

1. Decentralization

One of bitcoin purposes is to be decentralized. I'll keep it short but it's not. More than 50% of mining power is controlled by entity under surveillance. If you want to buy bitcoin today, you will certainly have to go through some KYC. With ETF being approved, TradFi being involved etc., Bitcoin is now a magic internet token controlled by huge companies (hedge fund, bank, VC, GAFAM) with stupid people (including me) betting on believing in it.

2. Privacy

I don't think I need to elaborate this point.

3. NOBODY WANT CRYPTOCURRENCIES

(I'll speak about ether because it's the ecosystem I know the best. )
The hard truth about this whole system is that nobody gives a damn about having ether.
I've never met (and I've worked with some BIG names in ethereum) A SINGLE PERSON wanting ether for the sake of having ether.

It's simple : People want ether (and cryptocurrencies) to either convert it to USD when they need it, or to bet on it (and to sell it for USD later).

This point is in my humble opinion why cryptocurrencies, as-is, is a failure as a "currency".

All of these ideas are still very fresh in my mind so I hope that you'll understand my points.
Of course, almost every single crypto-related project bringed some cool ideas (from a philosophical and technical point of view), but let's face it : it was a good try but we need a lot better.

Also, the fact that early adopters were a lot favored and awarded for their trust, shows a real lack of thinking. I do think Satoshi made something incredible, but didn't expect this whole speculation and adoption (which killed the project). If he indeed expected it, then it never was about creating a new currency.

Feel free to criticize my writing and give your opinion, I'd love to hear about it.
Also, I'm from Portugal so pardon some mistakes I may have made.

The problem is that raw aggression - namely, Russian and Chinese - is not met with a robust, proactive, aggressive response. Military people know exactly what to do; the failures are all due to politicians and politics.

That's why history repeats itself. We have think-tanks, political scientists, game theorists, military academies - but the leaders we elect into power are almost universally unqualified for actual leadership.

Edit: one might point to the Cuban missile crisis as an example of careful leadership. I would argue that it should never have been allowed to escalate to that point. I stand by my assertion.

While 230 V is now the nominal voltage everywhere, the previous 220 V has been intentionally included in the tolerance range of the voltage.

There are many places where the power stations have not been updated for many years, so 220 V remains the actual voltage that can be measured on the outlet.
>Officially, the unemployment rate in Chinese cities was 5.1% in December. While that is higher than the U.S. unemployment rate of 3.7%, it is still relatively low, and better than the full-year average rate of 5.6% in 2022.
π.However, economists have long raised questions about China’s official unemployment report, which only covers urban dwellers, and counts anyone who works an hour or more in a week as fully employed.

Even assuming they are accurate with these caveats regarding minimum work and exclusion of rural work it's amazing any media even sites any unemployment statistics from China. If there are doubts raised in media reports it's usually extremely mild.

And then there's this :

>"Last summer, the government said youth unemployment for people aged 16 to 24 hit a record of 21.3%, then stopped releasing the numbers, saying they needed to improve the methodology. Officials came back with a new youth unemployment rate of 14.9% in December, but economists voiced skepticism about its accuracy. "

> but they surely can't hope to compete with LLVM in terms of opimisation, can they?

This has been discussed more than once on Zig's discord server. Quoting Andrew and Matthew Lugg's discussion in #compiler-devel about pull 17892:

> mlugg: Shout-out to the people on Twitter and HN who are probably still saying "why would you try to compete with LLVM, LLVM is perfect and can do no wrong"

> andrewrk: worse, they're saying "LLVM is not great but it's the best mankind can achieve"

I think it's very appealing to have a project that focuses on fast build times and wants to seriously compete against LLVM in terms of the optimization pass pipeline, specially when you don't have a beefy computer. With that said, for the time being there are no optimizations made by Zig's own x86 backend (it neither does pass all behavior tests like it was pointed out in the talk, but it can build the Zig compiler itself and some other projects).

Cuik[1] is a project that was mentioned in the Q&A section which illustrates how a compiler can be fast and make optimised builds at the same time.

Yes, offloading some layers to the GPU and VRAM should still help. And 11gb isn't bad.

If you're on linux or wsl2, I would run oobabooga with --verbose. Load a GGUF, start with a small number of GPU layers and creep up, keeping an eye on VRAM usage.

If you're on windows, you can try out LM Studio and fiddle with layers while you monitor VRAM usage, though windows may be doing some weird stuff sharing ram.

Would be curious to see the diffs. Specifically if there's a complexity tax in offloading that makes the CPU-alone faster but in my experience with a 3060 and a mobile 3080, offloading what I can makes a big diff.

It absolutely is if it doesn’t fit with the rest of your pattern of life.

I think you need to understand the context here. This isn’t a scenario where a friend casually asks you what’s with the radio.

This is where you are most likely going to have to have have a damn compelling reason why you have this while taking a beating from a team of very motivated counter intelligence professionals and your story needs to stand up to a huge amount of very detailed scrutiny under some pretty shitty circumstances.

Usually by the time they know you have the radio depending on where you are you probably aren’t going home at that point.

There’s a famous case of this called the TRIGON case when the US were doing this in the Cold War to communicate with a guy in the Soviet ministry of foreign affairs. There was no talking your way out of it once they knew the radio existed.

There’s some interesting interviews with the CIA officers who were running him in Moscow at the time where they go into a lot of the details. Marti Peterson is the name of the person you should go looking for if you want to know more.
> That's where I disagree.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree on that, but I think if you told most people that the normal way to install third party software for Linux was to become a package maintainer they would rightly laugh you straight to the asylum.

> That's what I don't really get.

The reason is that Docker, Apptainer etc are much easier than creating packages for all the dependencies of the software I want to run. Multiplied by the number of distros I need to use. Pretty obvious no?

How is that relevant to my point?

> this is a fairly typical case of/for graceful degradation.

I'm not interested in "degradation". I'm interested in my code actually working as intended and serving a useful purpose. It's great that the <hr> on iOS degrades gracefully, but that still doesn't help me even one tiny bit.
Mixtral and others are often distributed as 16-bit floats, so that chops the problem in half immediately, but then it turns out that LLMs only have about four bits per parameter of actual information stored. There's a lot of redundancy. The ideal quantisation scheme would only throw away useless data, but no quantisation scheme is perfect so they inevitably harm the model somehow.

You've then got to remember that one thing neural networks are very, very good at is being noise tolerant. In some senses that's all they are - noise correction systems. The inaccuracies introduced by quantisation are "just" a sort of noise, so it's not surprising that they aren't fatal. It just raises the noise floor and gives the model more ways to be wrong.

Finally the thing to know is that these quantisation schemes don't do a naive "chop each number down to two bits", not exactly. Simplifying a bit, for each parameter in this example they'd try to find a mapping from a two-bit index into a four element lookup table of higher-precision values such that the information destroyed by replacing the original parameter by the lookup value is minimised. That mapping is calculated across small blocks of parameters, rather than across the entire model, so it can preserve local detail. The lookup table gets stored per block, which throws the compression ratio off a little.
