>What ever happened?

3dfx stagnated and fell behind due to bad management decisions. They seemed stuck on designing 3d accelerators like it was still 1996, which were just drawing triangles and doing texture mapping, while banking on higher clocks and adding multiple chips on board and even multiple cards in SLI to boost performance, while having the CPU take care of the rest in SW.

But it was 1999 already and Nvidia moved to graphics processing units (GPUs) which could also offload the CPU and do transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, MPEG2 motion compensation and a multi-pipeline rendering engine for more polygon thruput at same clocks, along with being fully DX7 compliant, all in a single chip.

The market decided that Nvidia's new direction is the future and not what 3dfx was doing. 3df tried to change course and catch up but it was too late, the GPU race was too cutthroat in those days. Nvidia was launching a new GPU generation every 6 months(!) instead of every 3 years like today, so a 6-12 month setback was a guaranteed death sentence no matter what you did.

Also, one of 3dfx biggest blunders was trying to become a board maker themselves by spending a lot of cash buying a board manufacturer, which emptied their bank accounts and angered their other board partners who now saw them as unfair competitors so they moved to making ATI/Nvidia boards instead.

POETRY IS COMPRESSION

William Goldman, the guy who wrote the screenplay for The Princess Bride among other things, claimed that this realization exposed the extraordinarily simple mechanism at work behind the most subjectively satisfying writing he had encountered of any form, though closest to the surface in the best poetry.

further reminds me of another observation, not from Goldman but someone else I can't recall, to the effect that a poem is "a machine made of words."

It's so easy to overeat though. 1700-2300 calories is so little food. It's no wonder people are becoming obese when even a small dessert has 400 calories or 300-500 calories for mocha. Or 500-700 calories for a burger, no fries or soda. I tried to lose weight and was taken aback by how little food I was allowed to eat compared to before. You're stuck with salads, some slices of bread, black coffee, and maybe a single decent meal, all while resisting the temptation to overeat. Somehow this is supposed to be scalable for the general population to solve obesity.
X has long had critics from Unix fans. There’s an entire chapter devoted to X in The UNIX Hater’s Handbook, and the author of that chapter, Don Hopkins, is a major advocate of Sun NeWS. On the Unix side of things, alternatives to X included Sun NeWS and NeXT’s desktop, which are both Display PostScript-based systems. macOS uses Quartz, which is similar to Display Postscript but uses PDF-based objects instead of interpreting PostScript code for rendering graphics. There are also 8 1/2 and its successor rio from Plan 9, which also addressed issues that the Plan 9 developers had with X.

Of course, X won out over all these systems; while X has been MIT-licensed since its early days, none of X’s competitors were open source at the time of their release. NeWS, NeXT’s display system, and Quartz remain closed source, and while Plan 9 was released under an OSI-compatible license in 2002, it wasn’t GPL-compatible; this was rectified in 2014 when Plan 9 was GPL’d, and the licensing became even more liberal in 2021 when it became MIT-licensed.

Bitcoin fees are cheapest when used with large values (because the fee doesn't increase with transaction size) and for long periods (because there is no fee related to time held), but that doesn't mean it's only useful for that, and it's a wide spectrum on both scales.

It's extremely important to remember that when the fees make up the vast majority of the miner's income, there will be far more people using bitcoin. Ultimately, if bitcoin fulfils it's promise as the best store of value mankind has ever seen, everyone in the world will want some. In this situation, the demand for the 7 tn/sec will be enormous. As humans we're just not used to seeing hard limits on supply of a liquid asset, and it's easy to overlook it's effects. Just as the hard limit on the bitcoin supply issuance is fundamental to it holding its value against essentially anything else (even the gold supply doubles every 30-50 years) and will lead to enormous growth in demand against a falling supply, the fixed supply of transactions will lead to similar increases in the price of transactions due to fixed transaction supply and increasing overall demand.

Once hundred's of millions to billions of people are fighting over transaction space that can only service 150 million transactions a year, the supply/demand ratio will be plenty to support a high price. By that point people would _ideally_ be using it every day/week, and so the potential demand would be enormous, and the transaction price will increase until only their larger transactions are economical.

The real question is: how much hash-rate is really needed?

This is a great idea; I wonder if anyone is working on AI censorship monitoring at scale or at all. A secondary model could compare “censorship candidate” prompt results over time to classify how those results changed, and if those changes represent censorship or misinformation.
And that double-counts board layouts that are symmetric. Digging through the references led me to this page[1] which has a nice discussion on different ways to compute the number of states. Without symmetry you have 5478 possible board states, which is less than the 6120 you would get by adding rotation/flip bits to the 765 states. Both require 13 bits though. Too bad, I was hoping it would fit into a 12-bit PDP-8 word :)

The key insight of Pijul is to be the smallest generalisation of a file that is a CRDT with insertions and deletions of bytes as its two operations, where "smallest" and "file" are meant in a specific sense.

The main thing that makes it all work is the extreme performance of its storage backend, which allows to manipulate a graph datastructure directly on disk, and avoid as many IO operations as possible while doing that. This works well, as all operations in Pijul (with some caveats) work in a time logarithmic in the size of history. And yet, it is slower than Git for some operations.

Therefore, what you're suggesting is linear in the size of history (importing), i.e. exponentially slower than Pijul, for every single merge!
Thanks for that background. I thought the US was a total 0 on know how when it came to sub 7mm chips.

Untrue (in general). The CSO is frequently given lots of budget and authority. Having talked to some of the big bank executive teams, they have thousands of employees and hundreds of M$ budgets with wide latitude to enforce restrictions. It is just that the best commercial cybersecurity processes and “best practices” are useless against professional attackers with even minimal budgets and staff.

Any technically competent CSO knows they are totally screwed even if they implement everything feasible perfectly (i.e. no inane solution like shutting down the whole company). It is not a problem of resources or commitment (though you could also have those problems), it is a problem of impossibility due to the incompetence of commercial IT cybersecurity processes.

The only way to survive in a environment where you literally can not do what you were ostensibly hired to do is to lie and take the fall. The only other alternative is being too stupid to realize you are screwed, but every bank cybersecurity executive team I’ve ever met knew that someone could go in and steal all of their documents for less than 1 million dollars (you could also change things, but the out of band cross-checking makes that hard without intimate knowledge of the specific financial checks, more a question of knowing how banks work than hacking, the 1 M$ gives you full access rights, but you need to be careful not the drive the tank through the wall of the general’s office).

I’m going to answer a different (maybe more helpful) question than the one you asked:

Q: As a noob, what’s the quickest way to become better than breakeven, then better than breakeven including the rake/seat charge?

A: Find a way to play against the worst players you can find, or at least players worse than you. There are likely some tough games near you; avoid those. They might be some soft games; play in those.

Game selection and exploiting opponent weaknesses can easily turn a player with a grasp of the basics into a winning player.

Rivian lays off 10% of workforce as EV pricing pressure mounts
Your previous question was "I'm not sure why you need to assume that it will be linked back to your real identity?"

If it's not possible to buy a phone without a strong attestation of identity, as is the general case in at least one country, then the identity relationship is baked in.

It's probably possible to buy a burner phone even in South Korea. But for those who are using their standard-issue phone with Signal, the problem most certainly exists.

And even in countries where there isn't some national phone-as-identifier policy, effectively most people's phone numbers tie them to their real-space identity even if there's no explicit personal data association[1], and in most cases, phone number, IMEI, AAID, and/or billing data (credit card payment authorisation) provide far greater assurance.

I upvoted because this was my first thought too, but reading the abstract and skimming the paper makes me think it’s not really an advance for general recursive improvement. I think the title makes people think this is a text -> model model, when it is really a bunch of model weights -> new model weights optimizer for a specific architecture and problem. Still a potentially very useful idea for learning from a bunch of training runs and very interesting work!

The weight of real world evidence is that no such policy ever existed, and the NYT is infamous for publishing a number of extremely pro-tech puff pieces for the last decade, at least, including the ones on Bankman-Fried and the Neumann. And the Vision Pro.

Hell, right now the NYT Technology page is full of puff pieces entirely uncritical of tech, despite the massive layoffs and ethical issues of AI.

And the only sources for the supposed policy are two "journalists" who have never actually worked for the NYT.
Yes, but the implied problems may not need be approached at all. It's a uniform ideology push, with which people agree differently at different levels. If companies don't want to reveal the full set of measures, they could at least summarize them. I believe even these summaries would be what subj tweet refers to as "ashamed".

We cannot discuss or be aware of the problems-and-approaches, unless they are explicitly stated. Your analogy with content moderation is a little off, because it's not a set of measures that is hidden, but the "forum rules" themselves. One thing is AI refusing with an explanation. That makes it partially useless, but it's their right to do so. Another thing if it silently avoids or directs topics due to these restrictions. Pretty sure authors are unable to clearly separate the two cases, and also maintain the same quality as the raw model.

At the end of the day people will eventually give up and use Chinese AI instead, cause who cares if it refuses to draw CCP people while doing everything else better.

Looks like CNCF waved them through Graduation anyway, let's look at policies from July 28, 2021 when they were deemed "Graduated"

All maintainers of the LinkerD project had @boyant.io email addresses. [0] They do list 4 other members of a "Steering Committee", but LinkerD's GOVERNANCE.md gives all of the power to maintainers: [1]

> Ideally, all project decisions are resolved by maintainer consensus. If this is not possible, maintainers may call a vote. The voting process is a simple majority in which each maintainer receives one vote.

And CNCF Graduation policy says a project must "Have committers from at least two organizations" [2]. So it appears that the CNCF accepted the "Steering Committee" as an acceptable 2nd committer, even though the Governance policy still gave the maintainers all of the power.

I would like to know if the Steering Committee voted to remove stable releases from an un-biased position acting in the best interest of the project, or if they were simply ignored or not even advised on the decision.

I'm all for Boyant doing what they need to do to make money and survive as a Company. But at that point my opinion is that they should withdraw the project from the CNCF and stop pretending like the foundation has any influence on the project's governance.

I mean from both.

The front page shows me this event: https://www.wiwo.world/event/location=cest-la-vie-club&categ...

I have no idea where it is. I don't know what's La Vie Club or even what country it is in.

> People can explicitly override the sensible defaults as necessary

They cannot, actually. If you look at some of the examples in the Twitter thread and other threads linked from it, Gemini will mostly straight up refuse requests like e.g. "chinese male", and give you a lecture on why you're holding it wrong.

Oops, don't look at what we do! These repos have been used for dogfooding and bootstrapping extensively, they have the worst structures and aren't good examples of nice, clean workflows. The tool isn't really "experimental" anymore, its repos are still used for heavy experiments.

> But its not clear at all how those "version identifiers" can be used or indeed if they are even implemented at all yet? At least based on the manual, no commands seem to take "version identifier" as argument, nor can I see them anywhere in Nest web UI.

`pijul log --state` does that, and various commands (tags, fork) do it as well. Tags are due for a redesign, since they can be made much more efficient with a really cool new design, and make Pijul a perfect hybrid between patches and snapshots.

I think based on timing your objection is with Material You / Material Design 3 specifically, which replaced Material Design 2 starting in Android 12. Android 11 was already using Material Design (2) (the card theme) which replaced the previous theme, Holo in Android 5. Holo was the cyberpunk-y black with blue highlights interface, though honestly Kitkat (4.4) had already started that trend that led to Material, removing colors from Holo.

I'm also not a fan of Material You to be honest, the "colors from your background" gimmick just results in all the colours being muddy boring desaturated ones, and the general low contrast + rounded look just doesn't work for me.
Jeez, I feel like you’re arguing a point to make a point that nobody is contesting.

During the internet boom people accepted and even celebrated the vendor financing because it is a common mechanism without bothering to pay attention that the recipients were themselves not solvent. Sun, Cisco, Nortel and so many others were using this mechanism to juke the stats.

And I gave the GE and GM examples to show that it the same sort of thing can happen with major corporations too.

But nobody is claiming that it’s 100% inherently bad. It’s just you trying to refute this non-position.
