This has nothing to do with the language and is just a huge flaw in the design of the standard library: inability to supply a comparator function that is used for data structure types like sets, etc.
I am on AM5 (Asus TUF B650M PLUS Wifi) and I am rock solid at 6200/CL28 with HYNIX A die 64GB. CPU is 7800X3D and GPU 7900XT.

I was able to enable context restore and cold boot happens in 13-16 seconds straight to the desktop.
Mixtral's quality is definitely up there with Gpt3.5. Specifically for coding, i consider them almost equivalent in quality. In fact Mixtral 8x7 is starting to be my go-to coding assistant instead of Gpt. It is fast, it is accurate, and i think i like his responses better than Gpt.

Reducing LLM size almost 10 times in the span of a little more than a year, that's great stuff. Next step i think is 3 billion parameters MoE with 20 experts.
Well, since the defense production act was created to allow the government to divert capacity the most obvious negative outcome would be the loss of whatever the capacity was doing to begin with.

Perhaps the more dangerous outcome for as long as the budgets remain small is the government playing favorites. "You better donate to the right party and hire the right retiring regulators, or the government won't start a defense production program for your industry." Now that companies have an incentive to bend the administration's picture of what products will help the climate you can guess what will happen. Once the relationships are built up the effects will extend beyond individual programs.

Also, the defense industry is one of the least efficient and most lobbyist-driven/build-fifty-parts-in-fifty-states/friends-with-the-colonel institutions in our system. We begrudgingly accept it because, what's the alternative? - but if you wish that on the rest of the economy you must want the terrorists to win. ;-)
This is general "tracking beacon / tribe idol" hate.

For specific Apple hate, I have a different rant: about how Steve Jobs founded a more pernicious cult than Scientology, brilliantly adapting the lessons of previous efforts while improving their efficiency, by dispensing with the humility and humanity that had hampered others.
Wow! I live in a city which is fifteen times larger, and there is no Walgreens open later than 10 PM (nor Rite Aid, nor Bartell); the pharmacies generally close by 8. I wonder why some places get better service than we do?
Per some offline discussion, I'll note that while this paper is about the structure of hyperparams, it also starts with the analogy between Mandelbrot & Julia sets, Julia as the hyperparam space for Mandelbrot, the param space

Well, they both also have similar fractal dimensions. Mandlebrot's Hausdorff dimension is 2, Julia is 1-2.

I won't argue it here but just suggest that this is an important complexity relationship and that the neural net being fit may also have similar fractal complexity, and that the distinction between param and hyper-param in this sense may be somewhat a red-herring
all I know is that when I run llama.cpp a lot of the matrices that get multiplied have their shapes defined by how many tokens are in my prompt. https://justine.lol/tmp/shapes.png Notice how the B matrix is always skinny for generating tokens. But for batch processing of the initial prompt, it's fat. It's not very hard to multiply a skinny matrix but once it's fat it gets harder. Handling the initial batch processing of the prompt appears to be what your service goes slow at.
You don't need expensive combinatorial logic. You just use a predictor to decide where the instruction boundaries are. This is the same strategy CPUs have used for branch predictors. Now your performance merely depends on the accuracy of the branch predictors and the prevalence of difficult to predict instruction sequences. That is hardly a show stopper for the high end and you have to remember that compilers try to optimize their code, so there is no reason for them to produce slow code on purpose.

I thought that was clear through my profile, but yes, Positron AI is focused on providing the best performance per dollar while providing the best quality of service and capabilities rather than just focusing on a single metric of speed.

A guarantee to match the cheapest per token prices is sure a great way to lose a race to the bottom, but I do wish Groq (and everyone else trying to compete against NVIDIA) the greatest luck and success. I really do think that the great single batch/user performance by Groq is a great demo, but is not the best solution for a wide variety of applications, but I hope it can find its niche.
Like I said, I see this as a thought experiment about 'what is reality' and 'what is consciousness'. Not on 'are we actually living inside alien computers'.

The fact that we only exist in a tiny planet, while we can observe a seemingly infinite universe but with a horizon limit and that 96% of the energy in the universe is unexplainable by our physics would be pretty good arguments for us living in a simulation nevertheless, if we assume nesting simulations necessitate reduction of scope.

> Yes but if you only simulate a consciousness there is no nesting, otherwise on what does the consciousness run on?

This I don't understand. What do you mean?
Part of the reason independent pharmacies have declined is due to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). For example, Aetna owns CVS and they force you to go there.
It doesn't accept all valid solutions, only the one you've chosen (which I still can't figure out even after the lifelines, without bruteforcing).

Pascal (Turbo/Borland) was the most most fun I had programming back then. The "Unit" of compiliation just worked (and yes it allowed only DAG-like dependency hierarchies). It was super fast to compile and use, but also to edit/debug.

Then something got lost with Delphi, it's not that it was a bad product, but people started looking elsewhere...

I still cherish the day, as Pascal gave me the headstart to C/C++ from Apple Basic, but also allowed me to start using bit of inline assembly and learn it along the way...
I like a code review process better than a coding exercise for sure, but it’s not clear to me that it helps avoid LLM-enabled interview “performance enhancement”. Avoiding “take home” is a big step, but even in real-time determined LLM use can make someone look better in an artificial context than they will be in practice. And, as others have pointed out being good at code reviews is one facet of development, and over representation of it at the detriment of other skills isn’t great. If your code review conversation spans all those areas, maybe that’s the best we can do?

I don’t have a great alternative (I’ve used a similar approach for years), and the app is certainly interesting. I might be giving it a try.

Yes, using LLMs is a skills too.
It'll be interesting to see where this happens.

I have to hand it to Apple, it's bold that they have on-package RAM that's so wide. (And then doubling and quadrupling whole core complex with tiling is a stunning move; Pro and Max.) Apple shipped a huge range at all once: a very capable mobile chip to a very beastly workstation grade chip.

Intel's most notable attempt to me was Lakefield (2019), a Mobile Internet Device (MID) class (sub-laptop) chip that I quite liked. The 1+4 architecture wasnt very fast and it was a bit more power intense than the Snapdragons of the day that it had a modest-to-significsnt lead over. But I loved that it was like this tiny tiny package that you basically just had to add power to, and the on-package LPDDR4X-4266 was a very speedy offering for 2019.

Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake mobile was shown in January, rocking tiled (doesn't look like a stacked/3D Foveros setup) on package ram. https://www.anandtech.com/show/21219/ces-2024-intel-briefly-...

But both AMD and Intel already have big on-package ram cores. Intel's been shipping a "Max" Sapphire Rapids with 64GB HBM2e for a year (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-launches-sapphire-ra...). Like Apple's Ultra, it's a quad-tile with each CPU having a it's own HBMe stack. AMD's MI300A is basically a GPU where some of the tiles are instead CPUs but it too has 8 stacks of HBM3.

I keep asking myself how & when & where is on-package ram going to arrive in. But there's already significant HBM presence in big cores! It didn't seem to make an huge difference for Sapphire Rapids; some help but unless one uses the expensive accelerators well there s probably not enough core to use it. Meanwhile MI300 is only just happening & more API focused. We have yet for on package ram to really be meaningful & available & making a difference like it did for Apple.

But as your post says, it feels like an inevitability. Someone's gonna make a core that can do more or be better by having lower powered faster local ram.

Part of my suspicion is that the market is resisting de-segmentation. The real issue is that Apple used on package ram to add many channels. Not of slow wise HBM memory, but mamy channels of DDR ram. These companies don't actually want to compete on throughout; they want throughput to be associated with $10k exotic chips. They are lament to build higher bandwidth more-channel consumer cores.

That starts to change some next year with AMD's Strix Halo, a big APU with quad-channel ram. There's no on-package ram as far as I've heard, but once you start having that much board real estate & energy going to ram, it sure would be nice to get even more performance for less power & much less space.

Damn I love on package setups. 2024 doesn't seem likely to offer much new or exciting, but 2025 has some possible signs for hope.

There is tremendous variance with what will be 'required' to complete an insurance claim. In some cases a simple statement will suffice. In others, a police report is sufficient. In some cases the insurance company will want to 'investigate'. In many cases the underwriter will have some additional requests.

However it is always good to recognize the primary goals of the insurance parties - which is to not pay. They have strong incentives in that direction, and you providing proof of theft reduces the opportunities for those incentives to slow or reduce the payment.

It is especially true in cases of undeclared specific items, like an expensive mountain bike that you do not have a dedicated policy on.
As someone who is addicted to caffeine, hell yes it is an addiction.

A long time ago, I cut out the addictions that were causing negative effects for me (mainly weed and tobacco). I kept caffeine around since I can get wired and still do my job, and it's not overtly unhealthy.

An addiction isn't something inherently bad. Everyone's addicted to something or another. But how many addictions synergize with one's performance at work?

Another nice thing about schema-first is that clients can start interacting with a mock server from day-0, and both sides can build out the implementation independently according to the spec. It really speeds things up on larger projects (IMHO).

Working on FrankenPHP, we get a lot of issues from the Laravel people (mostly in regards to octane + worker mode), and I've been getting into more and more Laravel to support these folks and understand what is going on in the SAPI. I've really started to understand the attraction lately. Previously, I worked at Automattic for quite a while and learned the WordPress side of PHP, then worked with Symfony in a corporate setting, so I've yet to get into Laravel in the commercial world, but I'm thinking I probably will for my next job.
iPhones are only commodities to iPhones, which if you accept that definition means that everything is a commodity. An iPhone is not a commodity to most other phones.

I digitized the CDs I still had left a couple years ago. Over half of them were not on Spotify. And they weren’t even anything obscure, just electronica where licensing is often a bit complicated.

Non-deterministic timing characteristics.
Spotify uses a weighted average - you can't abuse the system like that. The tough reality is that 10k fans paying $10 a month and spending 1% time listening to an indie artist only works out to $1k / month even if all the money went to the artists. Unfortunately that's not the case - Spotify has overhead, artists sign with labels and other middlemen creep in.

As a result artists make pennies. The only way to change this is to get consumers to pay drastically more but that's what killed iTunes in the first place.
"Low density" is a relative term and there are ranges in everything. You can have a city mostly made of huge, packed tower blocks, or a city mostly made of small buildings with some space in between.
Geography also matters of course. And many many companies are not actually located in a city.

Better commuter rail/light rail is desirable. On the other hand, a commute is still a commute. I'm actually quite convenient to a commuter rail station that ties into the city's subway quite well. But I pretty much hate commuting into the city on the few days I have to do it because it still takes a big chunk out of my day.
China's growth appears to have halted at a below western standard of living primarily due to government intervention. I am not so sure the economists were wrong.
I’m definitely talking about the actually reusable bags, which is often all that is available these days. It’s got more and more extreme over the last couple of years. The two supermarkets near me (Morrisons and Waitrose) only sell these stiff heavy duty bags that cost about £2. I’m sure they’re well over 100g. (I think Sainsbury’s and M&S do still have the slightly thick kind that are probably 30g.)
Why EU countries are subsidizing >40k EUR cars to well off people is beyond me. Electric shmelectric, it's a premium product.
This is the exact reason* I bought a 4090 for my recent rebuild instead of the rDNA card I actually wanted. I really wanted to go with AMD for the driver integration with the Linux graphics stack —- I’m so, so tired of shenanigans when it comes to decades old features of X not working or working poorly due to some nvidia bug/non-integration.

But being able to leverage my graphics card for GPGPU was a top priority for me, and like you, I was appalled with the
ROCm situation. Not necessarily the tech itself (though I did not enjoy the docker approach), but more the developer situation surrounding it.

* well, that and some vague notions about RTX

If you mean on the opposite side, in the same orbit(in the earth-sun L3), this has been hypothesised as far back as the presocratic Greeks(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Earth), but we now have a lot of evidence that it isn't there.

Also, planet 9 was hypothesised in order to explain the orbits of transneptunian objects, which an antiearth wouldn't do.

If you mean behind the sun on a completely different orbit, well it wouldn't stay behind the sun relative to us forever, and likely would only very rarely be obscured by the sun.
The very first thing I did was check to see if brall was a word and then moved on when I realized it wasn't. Fun game!!!

Out of curiosity though, do you ensure there is only one solution for each challenge?
Depends on the project, but let's say you're writing something that should or could be made a part of other projects. I might be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might be easier for an Erlang project to be integrated into an Elixir one than the reverse.
It doesn't matter though technology is ever evolving. More cache will eventually be the norm on chips. Wide lanes for threads too.

M1 has four times the bit width of an AMD Ryzen processor. Supposedly next generation of Ryzen processors the Zen 5 will have a wider bit width.
Dude. We've all been there, no offense taken. I probably could have taken a few seconds to explain my experience instead of just assuming everyone else has had the same experience.
I've always thought of it as the Minority Report fallacy. It looks cool to see someone in a movie wave their arms around to control a computer. People ask all the time why we don't have that yet. They don't stop to think that their arms would get tired quickly and that resting arms on a table, having the tactile feedback of a keyboard and mouse, there's a reason we've stuck with those. People see something that looks cool on the surface and don't substantively think it through.
Yes, you can of course just kick those people out from where they're living.

This right here. I'm prescribed Adderall off-label for excessive daytime sleepiness, and have been for over a decade. I have tried multiple times to come off of it because of my concerns with long term effects (especially with my heart).

Can I survive? Absolutely. But without it, I am a zombie; a complete shell of myself. Even with concerns over long term side effects, the tradeoff isn't worth it for me.
I'm sorry, but two months to five months after 50 years and hundreds of billions of dollars. That was hardly the promise of the "war on cancer"!
Might be a bit out of context, but isn't the TPU also optimized for low latency inference? (Judging by reading the original TPU architecture paper here - https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.04760). If so, does Groq actually provide hardware support for LLM inference?
"Other than perhaps using cameras as a means to deter thieves, I’m not sure that low-value (under USD 5000) items like bicycles are worth the time and effort for insurers to launch full investigations over."

I would agree, yet I have seen it happen. It is a somewhat difficult to predict path. I have seen some smaller claims (~$2000) take significantly longer and with more investigation than other very large (>$50,000) claims. I would assume there are certain metrics and algorithmic methods that effect how this plays out, so it is possible that someone who has had multiple small claims my get more attention than a single large claim.

Either way - The concept of the camera is simple in providing evidence in cases where that evidence can help you.
(Anecdotally) For me, yes, unequivocally, the answer is a resounding yes.

My only regret is waiting until my thirties to get diagnosed, I feel like so much of my potential was wasted academically and career-wise.
I would worry more about people who cannot afford first place to live, for them new compact car is out of question.
I'm playing the devil's advocate now, but:

- economically Russia has been doing surprisingly well since the war started. The EU sanctions drove the gas price through the roof last year so Russia could make billions selling it to countries like India and China

- the earlier invasion of the Crimea went pretty smoothly and there were hardly any repercussions

- one of Putin's arguments for starting the war, was that it was to stop the Nato from expanding towards its borders. This argument is not new, Russia also brought it up in 2008 when there was talk about Georgia joining Nato. At that time Russia was able to succesfully overthrow the Georgian government and invade it for a 'peace mission'. So why not do the same thing again?
(This one backfired badly to Putin of course, with Finland and probably also Sweden joining Nato)

What should be taken away from this study? They found in two tiers no notable difference, and a slight advantage to women in the other, with the effect growing over time.

Then they state that this is all correlation, and we don't know about a dozen or two different variables such as whether the grant process self selects for more men to apply (and thus fail). No conclusion that men are disadvantaged may be drawn, they say.

Is this study worth building on? Why are people finding it interesting enough to vote it up to the front page?
