I suppose the above comment was about amdvlk. radv is indeed often ahead of it these days.

If anything, I think AMD should drop amdvlk on Linux (to collaborate on radv there) and instead try to develop radv for Windows if that's doable to replace amdvlk altogether.

No payment card information was compromised.

Anabolic steroids is not an arbitrary category. Protein powder doesn’t give you roid rage. The world is not going to be a better place if steroids become more popular.

Certainly P is a subset of NP, but is this statement always true?

Consider a Galton board where a marble is dropped into an array of pegs. At each peg, it can go left or right at random (assume it never bounces further). After some number of choices, it falls into a slot.

Finding a solution (a slot that a marble can fall into) is easy: drop one marble. But it could take many marbles to verify that a marble can fall into a given slot.

As described, that is easy: all left choices, all right choices, everything in between. But imagine that the choices aren't fair, directly observable, or linear (LR != RL). Then it gets tricky.

I've never thought about non-deterministic problems of that sort in the context of computational theory, but it isn't uncommon in nature.
> This sort of implies the street criminals become cyber criminals,

Does it? I never considered that. It seems obvious to me that
they aren't the same actual people.

We have more EV cars on the road displacing ICE vehicles, but that
doesn't imply that the old cars "transformed" into electric ones.
(1) I think public exploit price lists are bullshit, and mostly about marketing, but directionally they consistently put Chrome >2x of Firefox. You can choose not to take that seriously.

(2) The fact that people attack Chrome as a badge of honor is a reason to use it, not to avoid it. It's why exploits for Firefox would be cheaper.

(3) I don't think my take is spicy at all? I haven't refreshed it in a few years, but when last I did, I don't think I talked to anybody on either side of browser security who felt that Firefox outclassed Chrome (I got a long, valuable Slack thread from a FF security person that I wish I'd saved that built a claim that FF was approaching parity with Chrome architecturally). I have spicy takes, to be sure, but I think I'm giving you a pretty mainstream take from software security land.

(4) Even if you believed Firefox and Chrome (or Chrome and Safari) were at parity, it makes a great deal of sense to standardize browsers, for the reasons I gave previously. The right way to think of your browser "fleet" is as multiple single points of failure; diversity isn't helping you at all. This is one of those "put all your eggs in one basket and guard it" situations.

I don't have any particular personal reason to love Chrome. I'm a Mac person, so I guess the best outcome for me would be for Safari to be perceived as the best browser. Certainly my batteries would last longer! Every couple of years I talk to people about what the landscape looks like; if I ever get different answers, I'll be sure to update my take.
> but I find it hard to understand how Common Lisp compilers work – what with their readtables and read macros and normal macros

Read tables and reader macros are used in the reader, which is separate from the compiler. The compiler macroexpands normal macros though.

> what subsets are implemented before the rest

There are no obvious subsets in Common Lisp - see Baker on the matter <https://www.plover.com/~mjd/misc/hbaker-archive/MetaCircular...>.

SBCL is mostly written without CLOS and then brings in a CLOS implementation late into bootstrapping; that of course prevents you from using CLOS in some places, so you may not want to do that though.

> is there any implementation guide on how a Common Lisp is/should be implemented?

You could do a lot better than the existing Common Lisp implementations, especially in compilers and GC, but the issues there are not specific to Common Lisp.
Or more like 0.006% of their profit. And this paint thing looks to be about 100x more weight difference, so perhaps 0.6% of their profit.
There was a fad for chatbots during the MySpace era (or at least the early-mid-00s AIM era?) too, I remember messing around with trying to build them. They were a lot less accessible and less documented than the APIs available today though!

Right? That's where you make the revenue in your freemium pricing model.
I understand you mean good, but Apple is less free. WSL2 is nice, but it's more than than- it's knowing that I have the choice (to go with Lenovo, Dell, HP etc) if say I hate the keyboard layout
Lying is such a fundamental part of human psychology that we lie to ourselves without even knowing we're doing it, and children learn to lie without any instructions. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's instinctual, but it's very close to it.

Taking it even a step further - your memory is imperfect, the degree to which you can accurately recall events is significantly poorer than most people believe, which leads to incidental lies. We call them mistakes, but from the outside perspective that's just a question of intent.

That being said, despite my pessimism towards human nature, I too value honesty. But, like everyone, I lie occasionally - and I note that you don't claim to not lie, nor to have never lied. I'd call it honesty on a best efforts basis.

On the one hand money in an endowment has presumably already been taxed at least once. Taxing it again is double taxation and that’s bad because once you allow money to be taxed twice, you have to be ok with it being taxed many times over — O(1) to O(n) if you will. The moral position of government would be that taxing the outcome of growth and wealth creation is fine, but retaxing existing money is the government breaking its covenant with the people.

On the other hand I would accept the government’s position if it were to say aloud that there goal is for all large pools of money to be reclaimed by society. Double taxing wealth is then ok because it will, eventually, redistribute the wealth. In such a moral code, a $51bn pile of gold is quite an aberration.

It is classic right versus left: natural hierarchy versus we’re all the same.
Having both a standing armed breaching force (SWAT) and a centralized emergency routing system are prerequisite so generally no it’s almost uniquely an American thing

Optimized nutrition and vitamins for peak performance aren't that detrimental to your health. Shooting up amphetamines before a game for a slight edge is most definitely detrimental to your health.

We are doomed :(

The situation with journalism, particularly in the context of investigating significant issues like the SF SAFE fraud scandal, presents a complex paradox that indeed feels disheartening at times.

On one hand, the reluctance to financially support news outlets has led to a scarcity of resources for journalists, limiting their ability to conduct in-depth investigations. This trend compromises the quality of journalism, as reporters are pressed for time and resources, often resulting in superficial coverage of complex issues.

On the other hand, the alternative – journalism funded by wealthy individuals or entities – raises concerns about bias and influence. When the financial backers of journalism have vested interests, there's a risk that the news could be slanted to serve those interests, potentially undermining the integrity and objectivity that are foundational to the profession.
Genuinely asking, since I’m not an Australian: what does party membership have to do with investigating a politician in this case? Can you point to another firebombing case, for example?
Oh perfect. This can go right next to Ballmer Peak Distillery on my list of "weirdly tech-related distilleries in Colorado."

Yeah, that sentence shows me that this guy isn't an engineer at all, he's just a hacker.

If he made his own automatic litter box (the rotating drum kind) for his cat, he'll also not see the point of all those sensors that "aren't really needed", and one day he'll come home to find his cat chopped in half.
It’s hard not to generalize, but it seems like there is a lot of built up tension in police to want to use their guns, so they’ll use any reason to do so. Some become a police officer for the sole purpose of being able to shoot someone. It doesn’t seem like there are a lot of repercussions for the police.

So, SWAT are going to show up hot and want any excuse to use their weapons. It’s a dangerous situation.
By the way, .su is the Soviet Union country code top level domain.

It's a 2.5% excise tax on the endowment.

2.5% of $51B is about $1.2B. I'm not sure where your $5B number is coming from.

As to where it goes -- state universities, as the article states. The 2023 budget over all the state universities appears to be around $1.27B, with the state government providing about $320M of that.

An additional $1.2B given to the state universities can probably do a lot of good, and raise the service level (and allow for expansion as well).

You seem to have misread where the funds will be directed.

> FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel today proposed that the FCC recognize calls made with AI-generated voices are “artificial” voices under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA),

The FCC chair here is not saying "we should make a new law saying AI is artificial and illegal for robocalls" but saying "in our opinion AI calls are already classed as artificial under this well-tested law. Please go out and sue some people under the TCPA, here are tools to do that and we'll support your efforts in doing so."

Basically the FCC thinks the existing law covers it, but, it hasn't been tested in a court yet.
We need drug testing for CEOs. Seriously. This is a duty of the board.
> we are only talking about $16-50k for electricity, that seems pretty small

I suppose this depends greatly on how you view the utility of LLMs. In a capitalist sense, sure—there's great utility here persuading VCs to part with their coins and jobs to be replaced with correspondingly larger profit margins. But the opportunity cost of not solving major problems most of humanity can agree on seems nearly incalculably large. Not that capitalists give a shit.
Doppler is not a big problem with lasers because the carrier frequency is so much higher than RF that it doesn't matter; it's bang-bang AM modulated.

I'm assuming two things: That something like Manchester coding is being used so that some clock skew is tolerable, and that the laser carrier is not in fact being frequency or phase modulated. Last I checked FM and PM of optical frequencies was not yet practical outside of laboratories, but I'm happy to be corrected.
Isn't that just the default these days?
I think the issue is that they are removing tax revenue from the city, not that they cause the gentrification.

Two things:

Resolution is always determined by angular resolution at viewing distance, even for analog TVs(they were smaller and further away), and also,

Videos on Internet is always heavily compressed - the "resolution" is just the output size passed to the decoder and inverse of minimal pattern size recorded within, technically not related to data size. Raw video is h * v * bpp and have always been like low to dozen Gbps.

Just my bets, the bandiwth may peak or see a plateau, but resolution could continue to grow as needed for e.g. digital signage video walls that wraps around buildings.

It's very interesting that they went to the effort of doing complete end-to-end runs on both NVidia and AMD hardware.

A pity they didn't release the speed of training, but the software is now there for someone else (not under benchmark embargo) to do that.

I’m not sure how anyone can say this when he’s notorious for blocking thousands and thousands of people on Twitter/X for the smallest perceived critique, including people who have never interacted with him at all because they engaged with some tweet he didn’t like

My parents-in-law had an old friend who with her folk-singer husband ran a club in Montreal in the early 60s. Bob Dylan came through town before he changed his name. They were sitting around after the show and Annette said to him: "Kid. You better go back to college. You need something to fall back on." Dylan told her: "If I don't, you'll eat my hat."

She had other great stories. Lenny Cohen played "Suzanne" for her and said "what do you think?" Annette: "it stinks. who wrote it?" Lenny: "I did."
The things you are saying are purely subjective. What you understand under "Nazi stuff" and what I do is likely different. Therefore we can't really use those vague definitions to deny service or speech or anything, just because you (or anyone else) think it is "Nazi stuff".

The only way to resolve the conundrum is to allow everything except things explicitly disallowed by law. And for those, you need court order to shut down. Otherwise we get bunch of clowns rigged with security guard syndrome shutting whatever they think is "Nazi stuff" left and right. It happens in online communities more often then not, as you likely know.
So glad I have an income stream not dependent on this or I would surely starve and I really feel for those currently reluctantly going through the self-promotion grinder. But I cannot do self-promotion and so no sales and no reviews for my latest masterpiece.

I am sure one day in a far-flung future someone or something will read my books and appreciate them.
Don't need an LLM for that (except maybe to get funding), a plain old classifier would work fine at a fraction of the training & inference costs.
You said it was about 9% of the state budget and that was next to nothing.

If 9% is next to nothing then you should have no problems parting with next to nothing of your salary. I know that this would be a one time payment, I'm not asking you to sign up to tithing to me each year.

I'll just get that next to nothing 9% from you the one time and be on my way.
I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. I'm on the very lower end of "moderate" (about 16 interruptions per hour), which fortunately means that the oral appliances are effective.

I've been suspicious of myself having sleep apnea for quite awhile now, and I held off on getting an official diagnosis in no small part because those CPAP machines give me anxiety; I'm somewhat convinced that I would never really get used to them, and I would wake up feeling like a head crab was attacking me. I had also heard some horror stories (not dissimilar to the Phillips machines) that really held me off.

I'm very grateful that the oral appliances exists, now even more so.
To be fair Australia doesn't really have a choice in the matter due to forces outside of the country. Any political leader who tries this doesn't remain leader for very long.

Most of the public is aware of this, and will probably continue to accept it as long as the general standard of living doesn't fall to much.

It's a pity the Mistral 7B Instruct 0.2 dataset isn't available because I've found that a much higher quality than any of the finetunes around, and I suspect we'll have to rely on the same groups doing finetunes for this.

The legal construct you are attacking here is the very thing preventing a tax on apostasy.
Not the OP, and I don't use a CPAP, but just living with sleep apnea is kind of horrible, and not harmless. It might be genuinely worth the small risks associated with the affected machines if the alternative is having to go back to untreated apnea.
