> I would definitely like to see if the x86 industry could figure out how to include more channels while also not requiring 6-8 DIMMS to take advantage of it, like Thread Ripper.

you can't really do that, DDR5 has a concept called "pseudo-channels" where a normal 64b channel can be broken down into 2x32 smaller ones, which improves parallel efficiency somewhat (now you can have 2 requests in-flight at the same time). But mostly bandwidth is down to the number of pins and how much data you can physically push down them, chopping the same pins into smaller channels doesn't help, other than letting you eliminate some inefficiency/overhead.

however, this is essentially the goal behind strix point/strix halo - narrower memory buses (compared to apple) with cache to improve the effective bandwidth. Just like in GPUs, this allows you to use fewer channels to get to the same bandwidth, which means less actual data movement. The downside is, of course, less "raw" bandwidth, if your workload is not cacheable.

basically my rough expectation is that it's going to be more expensive than apple silicon, and still probably not actually beat on power, but will allow you to do workstation laptops with 512GB or 1TB of unified memory, which is also something the apple stuff cannot do. They are different products, apple is targeting people who want a powerful ultrabook, amd is targeting people who want a mobile threadripper for actual work tasks (metrology is one example).
To be fair, the Improvement for the tail is pretty Grim too. We have 'only' seen 5 year survival improve from 0.7% in 1973 to 3.2% in 2010.

I think the skewed distribution is less relevant than the sample group. There are limits to what we can expect from medicine. We don't have improved survival after decapitation, but that doesn't mean surgery has been at a standstill.

It would be interesting to look up survival rates for earlier stages. I expect the difference would be more substantial.
> So I asked Bing and it gave me the exact answer I was looking for at the top. And man is that phone a tick boy in that spot. You can probably put your weed in there.

And the most annoying thing is, your phone will not. sit. flat. on a table, because the damn camera will always be unbalanced in height, which makes it an excellent attraction for feline companions. Tap on it and it wiggles. Tap harder, it wiggles more, and eventually the phone will fall to the floor, your feline will look at you with big round eyes and ask for f...ing treats.
A site that is excellent at SEO spam isn’t the same as a “democratically elected” result.

The list of sites for that term are utter crap, recommending the purifiers paying the top commission. Why would you want Google to perpetuate that ranking just because other users are getting duped to click on them?
Google’s C++ style guide similarly recommends using ‘int’ in general and never using ‘int32_t’, though it recommends using ‘int64_t’ for bigger numbers instead of ‘long’:

Automated account suspension is anti-consumerist for the % of false positives. And since that % likely is low, companies get away with ridiculous processes for recovering your account.

"This year marks the 50th anniversary of the “War on Cancer” declared by Richard Nixon, a former President of the United States of America. By signing into law the National Cancer Act on December 23, 1971, Nixon hoped this action to be the landmark legislation taken by his administration. Nixon apparently had confidence that cancer would be conquered in 5 years."

You're right, there are a small handful of unusual cancers that we have cures for, and that's great. And some small progress has been made overall. But a lot of money has been spent, and it has been half a century or more, and we don't have much to show for our efforts.

It’s also a framing that ignores the fact that Google clearly wants to be able to filter out the garbage but can’t. It’s not bloggers’ fault for that. At some point, you can either decide to write for people or decide to write for the algorithm.
200mm was also called 8-inch wafers.
I thought that was a really interesting stat (I believed you, I don't mean I went to fact-check you but that's what ended up happening!) and wanted to read more about it -- it sounds like dryer fires aren't _overall_ that destructive, but in the "washer & dryer" category (~16k fires out of ~350k per year) they are 92% of that category.

Figured you'd want to know, since I found it interesting!

That being said, the dryer fires are certainly preventable and if any technology aids in reducing that, it's well worth it!
BlackRock sees Japan stocks as big winner from BOJ policy shift
What is the value of an enterprise that cannot sell airplanes due to buyer sentiment and regulatory refusal? I argue it is closer to $0 than you might think. Determine a desired outcome, and then engineer it within constraints (hard vs mutable limits, and where interpretation provides latitude).

Edit: Book value is reasonable compensation to nationalize. "Closer to $0", not $0.

I use the Azure GPT-4 offering. It's not always 100% correct, but for technical questions in areas I'm not very familiar with, it's close enough. I can get much more done in a given amount of time than I would have been able to reading docs and SO.

I know lots of people will point to examples where it's wrong, but I'd suggest trying it out yourself. If you're not intentionally trying to trip it up, it really works quite well.
No, no. I spent 18 hour days posting on social media, writing articles, designing cover images, researching, etc. I honestly didn't do much work in regards to SEO, at least I don't think so. (There were a few times I knew something was going to be released soon, so I wrote about it before anyone else did.) But I do believe all of this contributes to SEO.

But yeah, this brought my site to having every article I write today to be listed on page 1 (top 5 results, at the very least) almost within a day, numerous snippets, etc.

My wife had stage 4 melanoma. Prior to the newish immunotherapies about 5 years ago, it was a death sentence — 6-9 months life expectancy from diagnosis. Now, it’s 60-70% 5 year survival rate. Unfortunately my wife wasn’t one of them.

In general, these types of cancers spew mets and spread quickly. Many are resistant to chemo, go to the brain (chemo cannot help there) and only respond to high focused radiation like SRS or proton beam.

Immunotherapies essentially suppress checkpoints that cancer cells use to avoid immune response and/or cause your body to target specific checkpoints. I can’t read FT.com, but I believe it’s talking about a targeted therapy that allows your body to control the cancer.

There’s alot of research happening around things like immunotherapy combined with custom versions of Moderna and other vaccines that will significantly improve treatment and save people going through what my wife went through. It’s a good time.
The FTCs fine on Facebook from a few years ago exceeds the combined value of all GDPR fines levied to date.

The Irish government fills its coffers with the largesse of tech companies that are headquartered there specifically to dodge taxes and regulation.

Likewise, while GDPR has some initial changes in privacy after many months of inaction tracking levels started to rebound because everybody figured out nobody was going to enforce it.
Personally I've landed on the balance of leaving rendering wherever the state lives.

In the tabs example, my question is always how dynamic and complex the tabs are. For fairly simple tabs its pretty clean to server render the HTML for all tabs and use a basic client-side script to handle navigation (ideally its synced in the URL as well).

For more complex tabs, or tabs heavily dependent on dynamic state, I find that its much easier to maintain long term if the rendering happens server-side. I personally have enjoyed HTMX for this to swap out an island of HTML, but a full page reload has worked for decades now.

In my experience the worst solution is shipping the complex state and the complex rendering logic to the browser. From performance to bug reproducibility, it has always cause me more pain that the DX original dev time are worth.
AutoGen code interpreter running code in cloud sandbox
Sorry I know this is a relatively late comment, but I recently did a summary on Sam Altman's recommended reading list and I had a great time reading 'How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success In Selling (by Frank Bettger).' I actually provided a full book summary near this end of the post: https://photonlines.substack.com/p/sam-altmans-startup-advic...
Yes. Mypy supports type annotations provided in comments in both Python 2 and Python 3.

I have ported a codebase from Python 2 to 3 by annotating it with comment-syntax annotations and it helps a ton to keep your strings and bytes separate. Basically, you annotate with the binary_type, text_type types the six package and typecheck your code on both Python 2 and Python 3.

Basically, the steps involved are:
1. set up static analysis (linting and typechecking) for python 2 and python 3
2. get code passing static analysis on Py2 and Py3
3. get code passing tests on Py2 and Py3
4. get code running in production on Py3
5. stop checking and testing on Py2

It's not trivial and it requires some strong Python experience to write code that correctly "straddles" Py2 and Py3. But the advantage of the static checkers is you can slowly dial up their strictness and once they are dialed in, you minimize new regressions (new untyped code, new code that fails typechecking).
> that's also a big problem for their growth.

Frankly, I see this as a good thing. Maybe someone else will come along and solve the universal-search-engine-that-stays-good problem, but Kagi's best hope at being useful for me into the future is for them to stay where they are: tiny and used only by a small cohort of extremely savvy and skeptical geeks that aren't worth the effort to SEO-jack.

They just need to be sustainable—growing large would actually be counterproductive.
During the early career of Ursula von der Leyen (current EU president) in Germany she was championing a law just like that. It was something like "stop signs" for the internet and was based on DNS based blocks. The law was passed and was quickly overturned once her party won the election. During the campaign she and her party were denouncing everybody opposing the law as being friendly to csam. This feels like a bad re-run of the same script to me.

In actuality though, this is almost religious. It doesn't matter than monopolies have always appeared in markets and been dealt with by regulation; believers in free markets will always argue that the actual cases weren't really monopolies or that they'd not have lasted. /Shrug

Read past the provocative title, and Google actually seems to be doing the right things here. They cracked down on product reviews that aren’t actually testing the product in 2021, and the article says big media companies (presumably with lower quality review content) suffered as a result.

But then those media companies found a loophole with "The Best X" lists that weren't subject to the 2021 Products Review Update changes, which lets them continue spamming affiliate links while avoiding the new requirements.

So now independent sites with actual reviews are in a holding pattern for these search terms, waiting for Google to bring the hammer down again on sites that are evading its quality metrics. This article is pretty clearly an open letter trying to bring attention to this issue.

If the team at Google working on ranking for product reviews is reading this, I hope you have another update in the works to close this loophole. H1 planning just wrapped up!

Edit: The title on HN has changed to be less click-baity. The original title was "How Google is killing independent sites like ours".

Title aside, the article is quite excellent and does a great job of explaining the product review niche of SEO. Kudos to the authors.

It's an unreliable and jarring experience, I had to give up on it. The app gives no indication when the synchronization would happen, and doesn't explain why when it does not work.
I did actually buy a year long subscription of CR when I moved into my new house a few years ago and I found their reviews to be generally more helpful and have bought a few products based on their recommendations.
Maybe its just that we as species are not able to act intelligently as large groups? Maybe we have tools to deal with bad actors in small groups but those tools don't exist in the artificial large networks? Maybe those networks are structured in such a way that we can't act in any other way and participate? Maybe being flamboyant hustler is the only succeeding strategy?

I don't know but I' definitely not happy with the current state.
I used to track every project in its own text file. Every task and a description was in this file. It was great, but got a bit messy.

Depends but you can have very long ones, too. In koreatown LA runs one of the longest escalators in the world down into the depths. Even the escalators at Universal Studios Hollywood have only a few landings and get you down an entire mountainside of vertical drop. I’d still take a switchback over cramming into what is basically a dumpster and urinal.

How large models can this run?

Generally, is there a resource that has a table of how much VRAM each of the open source models require, especially at different quantization levels? I am pretty confused about these Mixture of Experts models like Mixtral 8x7B.

I went today to a carrier showroom where they have the Pixel 8 on display to mess around with, and I though the reviewers were exaggerating, but that damn visor is nearly as thick as the phone itself. It almost doubles in height of the phone at that spot. The Pixel 7a next to it had a much much thinner visor despite sharing a similar design.

What the hell did Google put in that thing, lenses from the Hubble space telescope? It's not like they have a 100x zoom lens in that thing or a camera sensor so large it makes a Hasselblad wet itself. And that's before we get to the visible PCB screw heads poking through the OLED panel. On a phone that costs 600+ Euros.

I feel like Google is at least 5 years behind the competition when it comes to HW and industrial design. Or they just culturally as a company don't give a shit about HW, thinking their SW is gonna be the main selling point and the HW is treated like some last minute "who cares, just ship it, it's gonna sell anyway" afterthought.
At this point it you are searching for the "best" anything on Google, that's on you.
Is there a list anywhere of trustworthy sites for product reviews? The article mentioned Tech Gear Lab, and though I haven't heard of House Fresh, that seems reasonable? Consumer Reports of course, but are there others?
Yea, a lot of the "it's a contract" and "it's voluntary" arguments fail to recognize the huge power imbalance between a label and a band, or any agreement between a single person and a huge company. These agreements are almost never between equals, and are often one-sided and "take it or leave it".

Yes, technically I voluntarily entered into my contract with my ISP, my cell phone carrier, and my employer. But in all cases, it's obvious I'm getting screwed over because of the massive power imbalance. It's a fact of life, but it should at least be acknowledged.
GenAI as in increasingly sophisticated reasoning engines, not writing fake product reviews.

What "SEO spam" you talking about? I'm searching for "air purifier" right now and my results are:

1) "The Best Air Purifier - The New York Times" (makes sense)

2-4) Links to "air purifier" category on Amazon, Home Depot, and Best Buy (makes sense)

Then a "discussions and forums" section with a couple of links to Reddit (makes sense)

Then a Google buying guide full of common Q&A about air purifiers (interesting), a list of shopping links to popular air purifier models (makes sense), and YouTube review videos (makes sense), all interspersed with some more top stores, brands, and review sites (Costco, Blueair, Levoit, Consumer Reports, Better Homes & Gardens -- all totally fine).

All of this seems perfectly reasonable and, indeed, exactly what I'm looking for. I have zero complaints. I can't find any SEO spam whatsoever. Literally all of this in the first couple of pages seems entirely legit.

Unregulated Social Media is a toxic death spiral for human relations, just like unregulated capitalism is for humans and the environment we share with this planet's inhabitants.
1) agreed. it's exciting seeing the same basic architecture broadly applied

2) not sure what you mean by "operate in discrete space"

I'd emphasize the potential similarity to biological recurrence. Deep ANNs don't need to have this explicitly (tho e.g. LSTM has explicit recurrence), but it is known that recurrent NNs can be emulated by unrolling, in a process similar to function currying. In this mode, a learned network would learn to recognize certain inputs and carry them across to other parts of the network that can be copies of the originator, thus achieving functional equivalence to self feedback, or neighbor feedback. It takes a lot of layers and nodes in theory, but ofc modern nets are getting very big.

What if instead of a few founders and the investors getting crazy paydays, those proceeds were paid to those who do the work, workers wouldn't need investors to buy into their ideas unless they provided a lot more value than cash. The current system is flawed in that that small group of investors drain the company of all its value and then dump it on the stock market hoping retail and index funds will pick it up. The value proposition currently sucks.
To which, an average is a pretty poor way to convey non-normal data.
