Model optimization is absolutely a thing; faster models are desireable, and GPUs are in short supply.

And, again, my model getting optimized doesn't hurt you. If I make a faster or more efficient Bitcoin miner, that directly reduces your profits, because all miners are competing for a fixed pile of rewards.
That’s the tradeoffs they wanted to hit whatever guidelines they had. They clearly didn’t want to ship a 2 pound battery.

What I meant is they didn’t need chips as powerful. They didn’t need screens as high resolution or bright. They didn’t need so many cameras.

They could have released something closer to a Quest model in specs years earlier.

They waited for this.

There are always tradeoffs. First gen Apple stuff is often weak in some way (CPU, memory, battery, software) because they like to be at the edge of what’s possible. Then they improve from there.

Seeing this made me kind of happy. At least there are still some topics where most politicians can still agree on something.
I would like to second that.

Big corp introduces a constant uphill battle and people get minted to avoid conflict (Why do you want to spend money on a subject that is not on your bosses boss roadmap? Does this new service obey our IT-compliance-rules? I know a virus scanner on Linux is a bad idea, but compliance demands it. I do not care about your threat model, have you installed one already? Can you spend 30,000 Currency Units, but have it billed in November, accepted in December, and paid out in January next year? Answer me until end-of-business!).

People want to have an impact on their environment and conflict is the wrong way to start with.

I thought we were talking about the 80% who "preferred" it as a language of business. Surely that... has dropped like a stone.

That and the way people respond to polls now is gonna change.

In any case I think going forward you'll see English's fortunes rise in Ukraine, and probably Polish as well.
not anecdotal, I speak both languages. The trend now is to reject everything russian even though you do understand it, no way around this. And yes, the “kitchen language” for many ukrainians, especially east part, remained russian. However, on public or outside ppl try their best to speak Ukrainian. The younger generation will be more like the one in the baltic counties or Georgia. Understand russian but rather speak their native language.

Running sober vs. high: How weed affects your workout
The article is disorienting, and it glosses over the real issues. “It's time to admit that the water is wet”, oh yes.

“The view of biology” they talk about doesn't exist. What exists is pop-science, with its acolytes and proselytes, boldly claiming that everything is as easy as 1-2-3:

1) We just make a list of All The Genes.

2) We put All The Data into the Computer.

3) We solve any problem by finding a relevant connection.

Just imagine how much nonsense was said about “genes”, from racial cleansing projects to self-help books — or reasoning why corner store closed. As we are speaking about all kinds of genealogy, it is worth mentioning that pop science is a distant cousin of real science, and is closer to 19th century militant vulgar materialism, the kind of marketplace “science” which promised that corpses would get reanimated by wondrous electricity in the same manner it made frog's leg move. “Only need to figure enough details”, as usual. Now “genes” or “evolution” are just a way for common people to talk about “fate” or “dog-eat-dog” in “scientific” terms.

With that sorted out, we can study the scientists. Unfortunately, a lot of them aren't that different from the general public in understanding that for each efficiency of some model, there is a corresponding deficiency. Educated people honestly ask why we shouldn't use computer metaphors so carelessly all the time. It's like asking why hammers can't be used for everything, or why integers exist when we can use floating point for everything (and also deliberately ignore the complexities because “we're dealing with general cases, we don't need that”). Is there something wrong with the hammer? No, there isn't, something is wrong with the people who don't really understand what they are doing.

So the book review basically says “Fine, we all know it's a pathetic circus, but it's our circus, and lots of people are trained to play their parts, so let's declare some patented nonsense outdated, do a facelift, an go on”.
I wonder if Unison Cloud is built with the Unison language, that would prove language maturity in my eyes.

Ahaha, the video is a GIF one can't fast-forward through, at least it simulates in real time the long wait for the generated image. I've seen enough marketing stuff that I'd like to tell you, that long wait in your advertisement will bore the hell out of people.
"Easy" fix here - don't allow banks to claw back any cash that they've made available for use. Nobody will tolerate "you have to wait 60 days for this check to be available" so the problem will fix itself in short order.

Banks are incentivized to make money available basically immediately because there is very little risk to them if it turns out to be fraudulent. And they're the only ones that can fix the infrastructure to clean this up. You move the liability from the blue collar worker cashing a check for $50 to the multi-national billion dollar corporation and it gets fixed pretty quickly.

If someone asked me some of these questions in an interview I would laugh it off to try to help them save face, if they persisted in seriousness I would walk out. My interviewer is neither my better nor my therapist and has no business asking about my personal life or non-work past. That’s bananas.
Even though this might be entirely hallucinated, I remain consistently amazed that stacking transformers and training on a massive text corpus is sufficient to get something resembling a "language model" that can both understand and generate instructions like this:

You have the tool 'browser' with these functions:

'search(query: str, recency_days: int)' Issues a query to a search engine and displays the results.
'click(id: str)' Opens the webpage with the given id, displaying it. The ID within the displayed results maps to a URL.
'back()' Returns to the previous page and displays it.
'scroll(amt: int)' Scrolls up or down in the open webpage by the given amount.
'open_url(url: str)' Opens the given URL and displays it.
'quote_lines(start: int, end: int)' Stores a text span from an open webpage. Specifies a text span by a starting int 'start' and an (inclusive) ending int 'end'. To quote a single line, use 'start' = 'end'.
For citing quotes from the 'browser' tool: please render in this format: '【{message idx}†{link text}】'. For long citations: please render in this format: '[link text](message idx)'. Otherwise do not render links.

Who needs an actual model of cognition when you have billions of parameters and brute force? Maybe Asimov's "positronic brain" was just a very efficient inference engine for an LLM all along.

Consider by contrast the complexity of a system like AlphaZero.

Yeah same. Especially that those consoles were launched all the way back in 2020, nearly 4 years ago.

I guess it's difficult to replicate the console performance when those run on GDDR as system memory and PCs on DDR so the bandwidth difference is huge.

But it's not like a system integrator like Asus or Gigabyte couldn't have built a small form factor PC based on a PC variant of the consoles APU and use GDDR instead.

AMD really missed out on this, especially during the pandemic when everyone was stuck indoor trying to game and looking for inexistent GPUs.
Yes - I agree - intrusive interviews are a terrible idea. My comment is an observation about how some people might arrive at such ideas.

>That limits you to buying stuff locally, its a good precaution but means you can't buy anything that is only available further away.

To me, that's an entirely reasonable trade-off. You sacrifice the breadth of the market available to you in exchange for greatly reducing your attack surface. You'll easily filter out the legions of machine-assisted international scammers if you require transactions to be in-person with cash.

It does, but you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard, which is what I do.

Or, if you are using virtual desktop, you can use your mouse and keyboard to control VP natively as well. The only drawback is that this may not work if you are on VPN (even if the desktop comes through OK). I'm hoping this is a software issue that will get straightened out soon.
We have known for decades that normally doesn't work.

I don't buy it. Utilities had ways to deal with this before Bitcoin; this wasn't an unsolved problem before the miners showed up.

The article talks about increased electricity costs for local residents due to mining. And the article doesn't mention anything about the mining shutting down during parts of the day and only running during off-peak hours. People interviewed don't directly talk about time of day, but the impression I got is that these are running 24/7.
Because they can, and when you're talking about tens or hundreds of millions of people, enough are willing to spend .49 to get the money immediately that it adds up to a nontrivial amount of money.

> they do speak Taiwanese

Do you mean Hakka and/or Hokkien?

Hokkien which is primarily spoken across the strait in Fujian.

Hakka is primarily spoken in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi.

Xi himself was the Party head of Fujian for most of his career and Xi's father was the Party head of Guangdong when he was rehabilitated in the Deng Xiaoping era.

This is why most manufacturing in China ended up coastal Southern China - most Chinese Taiwanese trace their heritage to there barely 2-5 generations ago at most.

The younger generation (post-1989) in Taiwan speaks and understands Mandarin.
That was the thinking in the Forth community as well; no absolute frontier between language, library, OS and hardware.

But Ingalls was still wrong, because what actually made that recipe work at that time is that they were programming against a predefined hardware, like game consoles.
When you program for predefined hardware, an OS is basically a one man-month project (well, in the 80s at least).

IIRC 1981 was a bit before the IBM PC, whose selling point was its extensibility. Squeak's VM is exactly a way to come back to predefined hardware.

But of course if you get cocky and think you can rid of the OS because your VM is so funtastic, you end up with an inactive project like SqueakNOS. Either because the hardware diversity the OS protected you from hits you like a truck, or because you place strong restrictions on supported hardware - so not everyone who is willing to try it, can actually try it. That's very few people.

Its best hope to evolve from the PoC stage is to be paired with some hardware product. Like Forth when it was chosen for the OLPC project.

For those who think this is a cop out; it is known that for most people the ability to learn new languages changes around puberty. The ability to learn, recognize and pronounce phonemes changes when kids are very young. Babies brains are flexible and can be shaped in many ways. Adults, not so much.

It is not impossible for all to learn this type of 'skill'. It is more difficult for many, and impossible for some.
EA was a penalty for VW's Dieselgate. They didn't have their heart in it because they didn't think EVs were going to win. Oops.

Tesla's sales depended on the Supercharger network to soothe consumer range anxiety for long distance travel. It was existential to build it, so might as well save nothing for the swim back (>$1B investment globally). It is now an asset that legacy auto needs access to in order to sell EVs they must build and sell to survive.

I think people give way way too much credit to the walled garden for their success.

The iPod wasn’t a success because of the walled garden. They didn’t have one (once they released on Windows).

If MS had released a player that was good enough they could have stolen the market, yes. But that’s the point. No one did because everyone released something akin to a flash-based CD player. They didn’t rethink the interface much. The interface is why the iPod grabbed the hold it did.

Yeah it became cool over time.

But I contend an iPod with the interface of a Creative Nomad Jukebox wouldn’t have succeeded the way it did.

I am pro abortion access but I think this is the wrong way to go about it. Because now you're arguing about whether or to what extent a child is involved, something there is not universal consensus on among experts in this domain.

It remains a question of medical privacy and autonomy. Ethically it is related to how you cannot be compelled to donate a kidney to save someone's life, you cannot even be compelled to donate a toenail clipping if that would do it. Refusing may be morally wrong, it may even make you evil, but it is not a crime.

Societally we have determined that this is an absolute line of autonomy, that crossing it opens the way to atrocity. Behind this door is forced medical experimentation, involuntary organ harvesting, eugenics. You may not be compelled to use your body for another's benefit against your will, even if it is a child.

It seemed jarring compared to how much care he seemed to put into the detail of the earlier passages.

I find this surprising whenever I hear it. Ditto for spotify. I don't listen to a single podcast via either of these services. Some of the shows I listen to might publish on them too, but I'm subscribed elsewhere.

Most of the shows on spotify seem like the audio equivalent of shovelware anyways.
One of the authors of pg_analytics here.

1. On Clickbench, make sure you're doing an apples-to-apples comparison by comparing scores from the same instance. We used the most commonly-used c6a.4xlarge instance. While a few databases like DuckDB rank higher, the performance of Datafusion (our underlying query engine) is constantly improving, and pg_analytics inherits those improvements.

Then again, people only care about performance and benchmarks up to a certain threshold. The goal of pg_analytics is not to displace something like StarRocks, but to enable analytical workloads that require both row and column-oriented data or Postgres transactions.

2. We're working on TPC-H benchmarks. They're good for demonstrating JOIN performance and we'll have them published early next week.
