Oh this is bullshit and you know it. Another example of "we didn't call it a security so it's not a security"

They weren't arrested for the code. They were arrested for actively participating and profiting off money laundering with North Korea being a customer.

Zero-knowledge proofs are different from public ledgers. That's where the issue comes in to play. The Treasury Department has already given guidance that cryptocurrency mixers fall under Know Your Customer laws and the Bank Secrecy Act, and are required to know who exactly is using their services and how.

It's not "Criminalizing Open Source". You live in a society with laws. Obfuscating classic financial products with tech jargon worked for the first half of the decade.

Y'all are just mad it doesn't work anymore and claim "You just don't understand the technology. You haven't issued guidance on specifics of crypto currency. You can't use hundred year old laws"

Yes, you can use 100 year old laws. At the end of the day, the financial shenanigans of most crypto, exchanges, and tokens are fundamentally the same things that have already been regulated. You just have new words.
The big issue on GitHub is that it doesn't work across forks: I can't create a PR for B that targets A, which both live in my fork, in the parent repository.

The other problem is that without extra tooling it doesn't give a good user experience. It's too easy for B and C to accidentally be merged into A, unless you mark them as WIP, but that requires manually unmarking them when A is ready. There's also no UI to easily navigate across the stack of PRs.
Also around the same time, Twitter came out and had the gimmick of being able to text-to-post.

Right, when they still knew how to make reliable hardware instead of cramming in features that aren't fully thought out and come with questionable tradeoffs to hit the bleeding edge.
At our company, we have "an immutable DB", too, but when there's a critical emergency (say, full downtime), we can apply fixes manually. In that case, we run the tests after applying the fix.
It's a mild inconvenience to you, to some number of your customers, it will mean they never follow-up on whatever presumably important message you were sending them.

Keep telling people not to click on links, ever. The ones who listen, and are paranoid about taking that advice literally, will look the company up on a search, or copy-and-paste the link instead of clicking it.

If I get a link from a company I have an account with, and the link is from their URL, I'm going to click it. I'll also check to make sure there wasn't some kind of redirect or Punycode involved.

But you're not helping your customers by refusing to provide them with an important affordance just because scammers might do something similar. That kind of logic doesn't help anyone, because "anyone" breaks down into two groups: the ones who click, and the ones who don't. The ones who click get to resolve the problem, the ones who don't have to do a search first, exactly what you're suggesting forcing everyone to do.
Windows major updates reset things alot and enable thigs that were disabled. How can you have gone 6 years without seeing a popup when they have added things in the last 6 years during major updates that are enabled by default and show dialogue and notifications. Also you are obviously on windoes 10 and not seen the new nonsense in 11.

My parents prefer Linux because it doesn't pressure them with pop ups and enabling new features, it just leaves them alone. If your mom uses a Microsoft account and is happy with windows then Linux would be a nuisance to her as windows popups were for my parents.
I get that, but whats the point of NO HARM is proven.
Holy shit, $350 million? how the hell is that even possible?
I'm not Austin, but I am Tris, the friendly neighborhood product person on Gemma. Overall, I think that the main feeling is: incredibly relieved to have had the launch go as smoothly as it has! The complexity of the launch is truly astounding:

1) Reference implementations in JAX, PyTorch, TF with Keras 3, MaxText/JAX, more...

2) Full integration at launch with HF including Transformers + optimization therein

3) TensorRT-LLM and full NVIDIA opt across the stack in partnership with that team (mentioned on the NVIDIA earnings call by Jensen, even)

4) More developer surfaces than you can shake a stick at: Kaggle, Colab, Gemma.cpp, GGUF

5) Comms landing with full coordination from Sundar + Demis + Jeff Dean, not to mention positive articles in NYT, Verge, Fortune, etc.

6) Full Google Cloud launches across several major products, including Vertex and GKE

7) Launched globally and with a permissive set of terms that enable developers to do awesome stuff

Pulling that off without any major SNAFUs is a huge relief for the team. We're excited by the potential of using all of those surfaces and the launch momentum to build a lot more great things for you all =)

Programming languages are also becoming more user-friendly. Classic languages like C and Java are no longer the first choice for most beginners, and many simpler, more accessible dynamic languages are now popular. The IDEs and other tools have also improved. Together, these factors lower the learning curve for programming.

I doubt it. Nowadays to start programming you need to set up complicated run environments and other setups even before you begin to code something. Programs are more complicated, such as apps which involve front-end and back-end. These games that claim to help with programming only hide the actual programming or abstraction . People think they are coding but are not really coding. Moving boxes around is not coding.
Dynamic switching power (i.e. the fraction of the chip's power consumption from actually switching transistors, as opposed to just "being on") scales with V^2 * f, where V=voltage and f=frequency, and V in turn depends on f, where higher frequencies need higher voltage. Not really linearly (It's Complicated(tm)), but it's not a terrible first-order approximation, which makes the dynamic switching power have a roughly cubic dependency on frequency.

Therefore, 1.1x the frequency at the high end (where switching power dominates) is 1.33x the power draw.

Those final few hundred MHz really hurt. Conversely, that's also why you see "Eco" power profiles with a major reduction in power draw that cost you maybe 5-10% of your peak performance.
Yep. I was recently looking at building an art project that required a gas valve that can freely rotate while under pressure.

If you need one gas line, you can get a swivel for a normal shop hose reel for $15. If you need two gas lines on the same axis, the part is similar but way lower volume, so you have to go to a specialty supplier and the price is $350.

The business that makes hose reel swivels makes lots of high volume parts, has lots of competition, and needs to charge close to cost to sell them. The business that makes specialty gas swivels for industry that offers multiple gas lines in one swivel, lots of different options, and makes them higher quality needs to charge a lot more to keep their business operational.
Indeed, the content in those parts of the article is just flat wrong. I’m a longtime Backblaze customer and fan of their hard drive stats. This is the first time I’ve read something from them that felt at all “off”, let alone as wrong and gross as this.
It is a court decision. Citing the actual law and context for it.
Possibly a long time, MTGox could have paid out years ago if they had have paid the value in Yen of bitcoin balances at the time of collapse. They could have paid everyone in full and had some billion left over. This would have made a lot of people very unhappy.

As the value of bitcoin went up it was clear a better solution was needed, and ultimately one of those solutions was decided upon then put to a vote.

At each stage they were required to go slowly to go slowly to give people time to respond. People needed to be given a timeframe to make claims, verify their identity, vote etc.

On top of that there were lawsuits (as there inevitably will be when someone is deciding how to divide up billions).

Add to that plain old bureaucracy and managing paperwork of thousands of claimants.

For the record MTGox had a deadline of something like October last year, and was given a 1 year extension on that by the courts. I'd say 50% chance they meet that and pay out this year and if not they get another extension and probably next year.

Even after that payout they would not be entirely done, they have set aside a small (proportionally, probably huge in dollar terms) sum to deal with accounts that are in dispute. That'll last as lawsuits can last. The 'early' payment is for people who opted to forgo their portion of the disputed amount, which they might or might not have otherwise received.

So yeah, it takes a long time, but because of very real complexity and dealing with people with differing opinions.
Wait is there direct correlation between emissions and the expansion of the Sahara? My understanding was it started forming way before the European Industrial Revolution (any literature on topic would be awesome)

You're right, if they're not looking for you then you will probably be disappointed.

That said, if I was looking for someone in the music biz I'd start with people I know they've worked with in the past because they're often more accessible.
Interesting analysis, seems to have some explanatory value for the current state of US politics.
Amazon Bedrock adds Mistral AI models
What Does Walkability Mean?
It's almost as if, the only way we have to validate whether or not we've understood something is to be able to explain the concept to ourself.

Therefore, understanding/learning == being able to explain to ourselves.

And the way to get better at understanding(aka. explaining the concept to ourselves) is to... repeatedly explain the concept to ourselves.

When you think this way, the Feynman technique is less a "method" to learn. But rather the fundamental truth as to how we all learn.
Is this an issue with git or github only?
If this is an issue with github only, i won't use it anymore for personal projects
While I fully agree with you that crating is to be avoided and I'd never do it - I can see some evolutionary parallel. My husky loves to settle in corners/L-shapes, and a crate is not so different than a small cave/den which offers certainty that no predator can sneak up behind you.
Nvidia's role in the AI wave has made it a $2T company
yeah and I imagine the costs balloon if you need childcare 10-12 hours a day instead of 5 or 6. In Japan they work sort of insane hours so that's why I say 12. We're able to survive on only 6 hours a day by aligning our schedules to offset but if we're both in the office FT then that's no longer an option and the childcare costs would double for us.
Only with a UV film installed to protect it. I think all plastics degrade under UV light and polycarbonate is no different. It will yellow and lose it's strength with unprotected UV exposure.
Amazing. Now do that to sorting algorithms.
Post-GFC, that's not a real risk for retail MMFs. They're de facto narrow banks now.
Anecdote: I was desktop client lead for Syncplicity, a major competitor to Dropbox, ect.

One day a ticket was sent my way. A customer complained that some files were missing. Once I got logs from that customer's computer; it was clear, someone, or something, deleted those files... Four months ago.

A recent cost-savings initiative bumped the deleted file retention to ~3 months. The retention window had come and gone, and we deleted the customers' files from their recycle bin.

My response was basically: We need a longer retention plan if we're going to call ourselves "backup." The point of "backup" is to restore in cases like this, where someone (or something) accidentally deleted files.

I even had that lesson with some important music files. I shared them with the person who originally recorded the files, and they dragged and dropped them out of the shared folder. It wasn't until a few years later that I realized I needed to restore them. Because I had the VIP flag, I was able to restore them.

This conversation is a bit difficult when you're ignoring a fair amount of what I and others have said. I think you're wanting to be right so interpreting the words to support that.

The compiler does not tell you that code is correct. It has no such capability and even LLMs are far away from doing that. The compiler can only tell you that the code is compilable. That means the syntax is correct, but it does not mean the logic is. The logic is much more abstract in terms of correctness.
Wormhole is an accelerated NIC, like what Nvidia got access to when it bought Mellanox. It's meant for high-speed routing.

Yet you got me to reading the following:

> t-Series Workstations

> Our t-series workstations are turnkey solutions for running training and inference on our processors, from a single-user desktop workstation in the t1000 up to the t7000 rack-mounted system designed specifically to function as a host with our Galaxy 4U Server

> 8 Grayskull Cards

> 16 Grayskull Chips

So these cards can also do training.

It could add at least some minimal margin. On mobile, I literally can’t see the edges.
Isn't that Edwin T. Jaynes example just p-hacking? If only 1 out of 100 experiments produces a statistically significant result, and you only report the one, I would intuitively consider that evidence to be worth less. Can someone more versed in Bayesian statistics better explain the example?
Vice has done lots of investigative reporting. Two weeks ago I brought up one of their years old investigations in a discussion, went and found the article to brush up on the topic, my cousin and I spent about a half hour reading their articles on the topic, then we discussed. Yes, I did learn things from vice. I'm assuming your confusing Vice with a listicle producer or something. Your smug self-assured arrogant pessimism is showing.

Why do we have K9 search and rescue dogs and drug sniffers instead of just having police officers sniffing everyone’s luggage?

The answer from the article is, essentially, because dogs are much better at odor detection than us. It weirdly seems to say because we have the ability to sense odors we are better than we think we are, which implies we think we can’t smell at all or something. But dogs are much much better than us.
Just yesterday i experienced the smell that was just like the apples from a tree in our yard 25 years ago. There are easily many hundreds of unique smells we can identify.

Bayesian approach sounds like a religion (one true way).

There is nothing unusual about different mathematical methods/models producing different results e.g., the number of roots even for the same quadratic equation may depend on "private" thoughts such as whether complex roots are of interest (sometimes they do/sometimes they don't). All models are wrong some are useful.
Nothing surprising here. All sides are waging an information war, which has been going on for decades.

It's much cheaper and cleaner than physical warfare. And if done correctly, the source of attacks can be difficult to trace.
Yeah, I should've been more clear: it wasn't really investing in a friends company. I agree it can be a source of funding when other sources aren't available, but in this case it was a total scam - the company was specifically designed to accept money and fold.

The URL part of this particular drives me insane, and it's not particularly Fedex's fault. But When every online retailer seems determined to keep me in their website (or a branded third party website) when I click a tracking number.

"Track Package" sure, keep me on the website.

But if you present me with a tracking number that you are making a link yourself, just send me to the shipper company. Bonus points when they then make it really hard to find the actual link I want on that random website they send me too. I already bought from you and will soon have your product in my hands, do I really need to be kept on a branded site that offers no extra value?

Emails seem to be the worst for this.

I feel like these companies are setting up people to be phished, when the idea that you can only track Fedex on Fedex.com is no longer true.
> I hear about various "work from home" jobs actually being scams, but what's going on there?

Many merchants won't ship overseas due to fraud, costs, etc. In this scam, the fraudsters purchase something with stolen payment, ship to you, and then have you re-ship to them or whoever they've resold it to. Often at your expense which they promise to reimburse.

If the merchant realizes they're fraudulent orders, they may block you as a fraudulent customer blocking your address in back office fulfillment services. Now you have trouble buying your own things.

If investigators look into it, they come to you. Since shipments are going over state lines, it could turn into Federal trouble.

And you never get reimbursed for shipping.

>3M has EVERY incentive to declare this whiz bang treatment effective because of the legal liability and financial incentives involved.

That sounds entirely incorrect. It seems to me that they'd want to avoid a second round of public flogging and lawsuits when it's later discovered that they falsified efforts to remediate their original catastrophe.

If you can only talk about your own niche interests, then you aren't as interesting as you think you are
I don't have power over you and it is not that serious. I am just trying to inform you why some people might flag something like this. There is no reason to argue with me with my explanation over my reason for flagging. It is my subjective opinion. You are entitled to yours, just as the rest of the community. Enough others appear to agree and have flagged. I know it can suck when there are a bunch of downvotes or flags without explanation. But at the same time, this is why people don't explain themselves. It is not worth it. I've now given over 15 minutes of my day to this when I could have ignored it all. I would have been better for it. You continue to cast yourself as a victim over this nonsense.
I think DB engines should simply have some sort of a default option in the interactive mode where if you write "delete from table", it asks "Are you sure? You're going to wipe out the entire table! Y/N". Would've probably solved 99% problems.
Full disclosure, I work for GitHub, but push protection from Secret Scanning is awesome for this because your nearly leaked secret doesn’t make it to the remote, and it gives you instructions on how to fix your local repo!
So you know when you believe something and then you update your belief because you get some evidence?

Yeah, and then you stack some beliefs on top of that.

And then you discover the evidence wasn’t actually true. Remind me again what the normative Bayesian update looks like in that instance.

Unfortunately it’s turtles all the way down.

Soon! Estimated ship date is 2/29. Should arrive around 5 days after that. We are going to fly to the data center, get the boxes all set up and start to launch things.

Pricing is TBD since there isn't really a comparable and we expect that since these GPUs are so new, people will want to do a lot of testing before they are willing to commit. Therefore, we are looking for partnerships over just customers.

Not sure 'academic' is the right word; IMHO it's a market issue. Users care about software, not architectures. This business is littered with the corpses of companies with 'better' in every way architectures, when the vast majority of folks that write checks are saying 'yeah, cool, but I just want it run Excel the same way my current one does but a little faster'.
iAPX-432 was supposed to be the last ISA Intel ever made, but it didn't quite work out that way [1]:

> Gordon Moore believed Intel’s next ISA would last the lifetime of Intel, so he hired many clever computer science Ph.D.’s and sent them to a new facility in Portland to invent the next great ISA. The 8800, as Intel originally named it...

> This ambitious project was alas several years late, forcing Intel to start an emergency replacement effort in Santa Clara to deliver a 16-bit microprocessor in 1979. Intel gave the new team 52 weeks to develop the new “8086” ISA and design and build the chip. Given the tight schedule, designing the ISA took only 10 person-weeks over three regular calendar weeks...

> Intel’s original 8800 project was renamed iAPX-432 and finally announced in 1981...

Navalny was an activist who organized large protests against the government, ran for office several times, and investigated corruption, mostly concerning money flows between government officials, oligarchs, their companies and properties, etc. The worst crime he was ever charged with was embezzlement and fraud.

Assange is a hacker who's indiscriminately leaked tons of classified info, much of which had little to do with corruption like the unredacted cables and the Vault 7 documents. He's (allegedly) conspired with Chelsea Manning and Lulzsec to basically get whatever he can get his hands on [1][2].

btw, Navalny died in a penal colony serving a 19 year sentence. Chelsea got out after 7.

While it is of course true that humans can smell less acutely than dogs, I'm fairly confident that the number of odors I can remember is somewhere in the low thousands.
