That's probably the gyroscopic effect. The more massive the wheel is, the more it wants to keep going straight on. So the rim deforms the tire and the rim plus the tire and even the hub and the spokes resist cornering.

About the issue of mass on frame vs mass on wheels (most often on the rims) I found this article [1] where an engineer from Lotus states that "In the case of a wheel, because you have a lot of mass distributed around the rim, some distance from the centre of the wheel, that gives it inertia. [...] We can see that reducing the wheel inertia has a beneficial effect over reducing non-rotating mass, but it is very small. In reality, mass saved from the rims of wheels is likely to be less than 10% more beneficial than the same mass saved from the rest of the bike."

Users can migrate instance (thereby changing the domain their account is hosted from).

This, however, requires that the server they are migrating TO can resolve the domain of the instance they are migrating FROM.

I am unaware of any "whole instance" redirecting.
I didn't realize how physical raising a kid is. The chasing, the lifting, the playing ... they don't stop!
I think the examples given in the article actually are in favour of the idea that AI will not be a catastrophe. Most people don't want to spend their life doing gruesome work on a farm, most people don't want to spend their life turning the same screw in a factory. If you believe David Graeber, up to 50% of jobs are actually meaningless 'bullshit jobs'. If AI replaced those, would society be worse off ?

The real issue is that people need a job to make money to survive. What we need might not be to save jobs but rather to find new ways to redistribute wealth...
> A screenshare takes over the layout
This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid :-)

When a screen share takes over, a conversation turns into a broadcast, which isn't always what you want.

There will always be scenarios where the improved resolution of a screen sharing codec will be necessary (and nothing is stopping you!), but I find a lot of the time there's a big white screen with a bit of branding and one bullet point on screen, and I can't see the face of the person who is talking.

I was on a group call recently where the speaker presented in this way for half an hour as a tiny thumbnail and I found it quite painful, thinking "I've been listening to this person for ages but I wouldn't recognise them in real life".

Sure enough, a couple of weeks later I had an awkward conversation where this exact person kinda recognised me but I didn't recognise her, so I felt pretty vindicated .

If we avoid the overhead of screen shares, the conversation flows a lot better, and everybody can be seen without the host having to turn anything off. And don't forget, if somebody's on a phone screen then they can't see all the detail anyway. This is why I prefer zooming in on important content than sharing my whole screen (I zoom in on my desktop using a pinch gesture in Video Pencil on my iPad and it feels magical).
> I've seen it evolve from java applets and flash to something better.

With the advances in technology I wish it had. However, we now have Material Design, oversized UIs, autoplaying videos when you are immediately on the site, anti-adblockers, "Please Subscribe" crap, the desktop being an afterthought (hamburger menus), etc.
It's only a problem because we set up our economy as a pyramid scheme, and that is now biting us in the ass.

If there was no economic problem due to the decline in population, there was no problem, period.
Investing in what other market?
I would love to see historical rates in urban vs rural/suburban areas for this, alongside migration/growth rates - does something like that exist?

My son (in college) probably won’t be able to afford much of a house in the Bay Area, austin, etc. but originally he was going to become an electrician in Watertown, NY. You can get a house for $120k there, which seems doable on a 50k income.
I drive past there semi-regularly since one of the experiments I work on is in the White Mountains (near Barcroft Station) and Deep Springs is on the way between Las Vegas and the experiment site. Would be fun to try to visit sometime...
Hell, I worked at $retailer for a time, and even their statements were to "DO NOT ENGAGE SHOPLIFTERS". Worse yet, I can scarcely imagine some $12/hr being told to chase after shoplifters... That's gonna end up being shot or shivved.

And frankly, there were times in which I saw people steal food. And in those cases, I never saw a thing! Especially when formula was being "acquired".

One time, during Black Friday, someone stole a whole register full of cash. Again, not my job and not my problem.
> Some organizations need to run large distributed machine learning tasks, some don't.

I think almost no organizations need to run "large distributed machine learning tasks". Many just think they do, because it's the buzzword of the moment.
Presumably it's for the benefit of the survivors.

Going to your dad's or your husband's funeral would already be pretty depressing. For it to be a poorly attended funeral would make it even moreso, for some folks.

Especially if you're big on the idea of the deceased living on in the memory of all the people whose lives they touched. Or if the deceased actually had a great many friends, but lived to an old enough age their friends predeceased them.

Plus, if you're going for the type of funeral with lots of hymns and singing and prayers and suchlike, a few more voices can help things along.

And while you might strongly suspect the surviving relatives are all indifferent to the funeral being poorly attended, it's not like you get a do-over if it turns out on the day they're less stoic than you imagined.
I feel like AMD's senior executives all own a lot of nVIDIA stock.
That's, as you say, recent. It bodes ill for the future if something doesn't change, but it can't possibly account for the long-term decline in birth rates being discussed here.
It seems to me that AMD are crazy to stop funding this. CUDA-on-ROCm breaks NVIDIA's moat, and would also act as a disincentive for NVIDIA to make breaking changes to CUDA; what more could AMD want?

When you're #1, you can go all-in on your own proprietary stack, knowing that network effects will drive your market share higher and higher for you for free.

When you're #2, you need to follow de-facto standards and work on creating and following truly open ones, and try to compete on actual value, rather than rent-seeking. AMD of all companies should know this.
> Eventually Martinez and several of his co-workers left after not getting paid for four weeks of work.

If my employer fails to make even a single paycheck I would immediately be looking for another job because the chances are that it isn't that they're looking for free labor, but rather that they have cashflow problems. I am not interested to depend on a sinking ship for my income.
They are aware, but it wasn’t until recently that they had the resources to invest in the space. They had to build Zen and start making buckets of money first
Isn't "internet access" a humanitarian good, of universal application, that should be available to anyone regardless of their beliefs, or the system of governance they're currently suffering?

Should Starkink be available only to the Ukrainians? or to neither side in this conflict?

Are the phone providers getting flak for serving russians here? Is this just another chance to have a "Musk is Bad" two minute hate?
Changing the user agent seems to make things work more often than not in the case of sites/apps like this. My inclination is that most of them don’t actually have hard browser requirements and just haven’t been tested against anything but Chrome and the devs (or those managing them) would prefer to not change that.
(I've been running home automation stuff for ~10 years now but) I am little surprised the author thought wifi/bluetooth would be better than technology made specifically for (home?) automation. To me meshing is a natural fit for interconnecting devices all around the house vs the hub and spoke model that wifi has.

Furthermore, I (read) and kind of disagree that thread/matter is a mess, but I'm coming from the point of view of an engineer who is keenly interested in home automation tech; for the typical consumer that's probably a fair take.
With Nvidia controlling 90%+ of the market, this is not a viable option. They'd better lean hard into CUDA support if they want to be relevant.
The internet can still be fun but I see what the author means.

At most I just use a few modern social media sites, some with frontends (Nitter, YT2009) and visit a few obscure sites.
I have a broom made by the student workshop at Berea and it’s a delightful tool, never thought I would enjoy sweeping.
My understanding is that there was some trademark silliness around "open compute", and AMD decided that instead of doing a full rebrand, they would stick to ROCm but pretend that it wasn't ever an acronym.
Yeah, I don't get the replies. Even getting priced out of renting:

I wonder if the workers still owe taxes on the unpaid wages. I bet the gov't plays it that way, leaving the burden on the victims of the crime.
definitely a fall i would say. 80% of women who do not have children, either actually wanted children but couldnt have them, or regret not having them. the fertility crisis is a complete disaster on an incredible amount of levels for people and society. The fact governments arent doing more to address this is mind boggling

Counterfeit then maybe?
Best practice is to talk about net job loss, or net job creation. "Augmenting" or "Replacing" jobs doesn't mean anything. Technology has been "replacing" jobs for hundreds of years, that's the nature of societal growth and change.

For instance, see Page 25 of this report which cites 25% net job creation through 2027 attributed to AI: https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2023.pdf
Yes to all 3. I would suggest considering what an alternative $7T investment in, for example, decarbonization. Even assuming absolutely 0 economies of scale or efficiency improvements, that is enough to completely replace the entirety of the US’s coal and natural gas consumption with existing nuclear fission reactors.

It’s completely boring, but if we’re talking about investing in infrastructure at that scale, almost anything else is more consequential than Sam’s vision here. There really is some special tech god myopia to thinking you can add $7T of GPU compute to an already struggling planet and think that will end well. Sam’s take on climate change is that it’s not happening fast enough to get in his way, therefore it’s not something that even needs to be part of his calculus. It’s unhinged and unrealistic. What he is talking about simply cannot be decoupled from the climate impact it will impose.
I've had an m1 max 14" since the week they first released 2-3 years ago and I actually COMPLETELY forgot there was a notch until I read this post.

I can't think of like, one time when it was an issue but I also have probably used TopNotch since then.
> Give me labels. If labels don't fit your motif then get better designers.

That's unhelpful and unreasonable, particularly on mobile.

There's no room on Spotify for labels behind every button, for instance.

Not if you want room to show the cover art, which I do.

It's not a question about "better designers" -- space constraints are real, and sometimes you really need things available at a single tap. I don't want shuffle to be buried behind a pop-up menu.
Why would they be worried about people using their product? Some CUDA wrapper on top of ROCM isn't going to get them fired. It doesn't get rid of ROCM's function as a GPGPU driver.
> obviously a high risk situation.

Yes, that's how a police state justifies the primacy of the needs of police over the rest of the civilian population.

We know executing search warrants like this are risky, because people have died in these sorts of raids, and flash grenades have severely injured babies like https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/supreme-court-ga... or https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-toddler-georgia/toddl... in Atlanta. Including on raids that were sent to the wrong address, or where the person they were looking for was not home.

We know people are woken up, surprised, think they are being robbed by an armed gang and shot to defend themselves, only to be killed by the police.

And we know the police exaggerate and hype up the danger level, to justify the use of drastic techniques which are dangerous to the people being investigated.

In https://www.wkrg.com/mobile-county/family-of-teen-killed-dur... the police did a surprise raid at 5:30am. A 16-year old pointed a laser-sighted handgun at the officers, likely thinking they were criminals attacking, and the cops shot and killed him.

To make it worse, the person they were seeking wasn't there.

To make it even more worse, person they were seeking was later arrested on a marijuana warrant after turning himself in.

We know the police ALWAYS justify the tactics used in their early morning raid as "To minimize the danger to the officers executing the search", and there's no way to refute them because they always argue it could have been worse.

Why should we believe the police in Georgia were any more correct in their assessment? Where is their experimental evidence which supports pre-dawn raids over other approaches, like even a 9am raid?

Why should we believe there was no other reasonable way to conduct the raid which would have been just as safe for the police while showing much more respect to the people being raided?

Why should we trust what they say when we know there's a long history of them exaggerating the danger?
But do you care if they pay your salary and the tools are barely usable?
A while back I heard an interesting observation: coffee shop conversations in the Bay Area went from being about cool tech to being about money.

I can't help but feel that this is a deeper change beyond just me facing the usual disillusionment of growing up.
Possibly there are other wolf subspecies that are more aggressive; there are many (anecdotal) stories of non-rabid wolf attacks e.g. in Canada and Alaska, and Wikipedia [0] seems to bear this out.

I think the point is that you shouldn't need to spend anything extra after spending $2,000 on an Apple laptop for something Apple should have already addressed.
Interesting! Given the small amount of power relative to the total amount in the tides (I've seen an estimate of 3.7TW), this doesn't make a big difference to the Earth/Moon gravitational system, but I'm curious how this will affect the Moon's orbit (yes, I know it's millimeters or meters). For example, the Moon's orbit is increasing by stealing rotational energy from the Earth--i.e. Earth rotation slows down, Moon speeds up and orbital distance increases. Does this friction in the tidal system reduce the energy transfer to the Moon and therefore preserve Earth's rotational energy, or just redirect that rotational energy into our power grid? I would guess it would have to be the latter...
"it seems to me that AI is best at replacing jobs I have a layman's understanding of, and AI is no good at replacing jobs I have a professional understanding in."

You attribute this to a 'bias of underestimating other people's jobs'
I attribute this to a 'bias of overestimate our own jobs'.

Most programmer jobs do not involve facebook clones that support 500 million users. Most programmer jobs are boring crud apps for random companies in traditional industries. Just think of what the outsourcing mills in India produce, and how many people they employ, then think again about how many jobs generative AI replace.

Also, Hollywood rapidly organised to try to slow down AI. They could see, very evidently, how extremely rapidly AI was advancing, and how lethal the threat is to them.
Second Moeder Lambik. Went to the pre-FOSDEM party at Delirium once. Never again.

And though I've taken the bus from near the Place Royale to the university for FOSDEM, it's very walkable.
>They feel entitled to a life in statis, where revolutionary change doesn't happen unless they are the ones demanding it.

Truer words have never been spoken.

My bottomwit approach: On an individual level, use AI as far as I can push it. Maximize individual productivity. Then dump the resulting profits into index funds, to hedge against when - not if - my own cognitive labor becomes near worthless by investing in the productivity of the entire Earth, broadly defined.
Probably a big market beyond bridesmaid.

Uber for Friends.

There was netflix show with it as a subplot.

There was a phone app, and you could just hire a friend for an afternoon to hang out.

Aren't patent systems already supposed to reject "inventions" that are common sense? Perhaps the problem is not the system itself but rather the humans who are approving these.
Ask HN: What's Your Portable Dev Environment Like?
I recently started going to the office, I have an M1 Macbook Air 13" that I'm using and I started to notice that my eyes hurt when using dark themes, so, I'm now using light themes and bumping up the scaling of every app.

Even at home while working late at night, I still get eye problems on dark themes, and I still have to bump up the scaling a lot on a 31" 4K monitor, to the point of losing screen real estate.

Is it just me getting older, or am I just using a bad setup.

Woohoo, I love RSS. I feel this is a good a time as any to share Bubo RSS [0] by George Mandis, as well as my personal fork [1].

In essence, all it really is is a build script that reads your RSS feeds from a JSON file, and builds a static site as 1 HTML file and 1 CSS file. You can then run the script at whatever interval you want (basically however often you want to update your "feed"). I do this using Github Actions and publishing to Github Pages [2]. Anyway, its awesome and I've been doing this for a few years now.

I think this all remains to be seen. Someone has to truly solve the bullshit/hallucination problem before AI systems are truly useful for a wide variety of tasks.

More importantly, however, I believe that people have some seriously dumb thoughts regarding economics. Every single thing in life has some economic value despite how much I hate knowing it. I weigh things like "free time" against things like "income" all the time, and I could therefore assign a numeric value to any given aspect in my life. I do not do this because I am not a psycho. On the other hand, knowing this, I can definitely say that someone out there will notice when the price of labor falls of a cliff and then that person will come up with a job that requires labor and wouldn't be economically feasible if global labor prices hadn't fallen. More importantly, machines are expensive. Running an LLM is extremely expensive. Making modern GPUs is also extremely expensive. You won't need too sharp a fall in labor costs for humans to continue to compete against the machines. But this leads to the true problem. These AI systems, if the hallucination problem is solved, and if the profit turns out to be good, will most likely serve to further entrench the current neo-feudalist world order as the working class become poorer and the lords become ever wealthier. The scenario where a UBI is needed is ridiculous though. Should no one come up with a use for cheap human labor, the folks running the LLMs would run out of money and be forced to close down, and the jobs that used to exist would return. Every product needs a purchaser.

Finally, despite all of the above, I still think that the AI systems are a step in the correct direction. Yes, the current LLMs and spin off technologies might (most likely will) further entrench neo-feudalism. Yes, many of us (maybe even me) will be relegated to cheap manual labor. Yes, we will likely have some crazy dystopia of "post truth" in a technologically advanced dark age (I think we are actually already in that one though). But, the automation of work is a net good. The article's charts didn't show longevity, didn't show free time hours, didn't show standard of living. Taking us off of the farms saved lives. Taking us out of factories saved lives. These two things together created the modern conception of childhood. All of this was a benefit. So, despite the shifting of the labor force, humankind will likely end up in a better position despite the negatives that every new technology will inevitably spring upon us.
Well what is the size of .NET that I assume you need installed?
Cloudflare is like Google early days. They could spend resources on things for the good of the all. In this case they’re spending millions when they could have settled for much cheaper. Thanks Cloudflare.
Isn't Intel's next gen GPU supposed to be pretty strong on compute?

Read an article about it recently, but when trying to remember the details / find it again just now I'm not seeing it. :(
I actually think I'm pretty stupid.
I am not very familiar with controls engineering. Can this machine tilt or balance in a tilted position?

> an inventor should be able to try and get profit from their invention

Well then, let the inventor try and get profit from their invention. An idea is never enough: it's the execution that matters, so let the inventor go forth and execute.
I think we can already see AI replacing junior developers. GPT-4 alone does good enough at scaffolding out semi-working code that I do think there's far less of a need for seniors to hand off tedium to juniors. This might be a partial explanation for why there seems to be significantly fewer junior developer openings today than there were a decade ago. People are going to split hairs over whether LLMs are actually AI, but the end result is all that matters. LLMs will continue to improve, especially on the code front, raising the minimal skill level just to get in to the field of programming as a human. It's already no longer enough to simply be able to build websites or mobile apps, and there will come a point soon where it will be challenging to compete against no-code/low-code platforms that use AI to tie all the pieces together or create customs at ease.

People love to cite prior automations, but the automobile only made hostlers obsolete because it required different skills to work on. AI fundamentally exists to replace skill itself. We might not be totally there yet to where it's a massive threat to wealth, but the potential is there in a way that was simply never the case with grain mills, the cotton gin, the printing press, conveyor belts, automobiles, and so forth.
Those wouldn't be easily distinguishable though.

That is intentional. We had to change the name. ROCm is no longer an acronym.
