> Great! I was trying to remember the model name of this processor the other day in a conversation, and no amount of googling could bring it up, all my results were swamped by all the new AI-du-jour chips everyone is working on. The young person I was talking to could not believe there was a neural network chip in the 90s and looked at me like I was having some kind of memory issue.

And if you move from "chip" to "special purpose hardware" you can go back to 1958 with the Mark I Perceptron (Assuming "neural net" requires a hidden layer, it qualifies).
Yes, the coinbase can be any value from 0 to the maximum, which is subsidy + fees.

Isn't it "where you got your shoes"/"what street your got your shoes on" ("you got 'em on your feet!"/"you got 'em on [current street name]")? Do they actually get violent or is the implication enough for people who fall for that?
Fantastic theme. The theme really made me like the show against my will because it often didn't make any sense.
Thanks for the comments, that was really enlightening. Not sure why people on a tech forum seem so eager to dismiss an emerging technology rather than using their imaginations a little
There are limits on secrets lifetime that's highly dependent on number of people in it. Someone even tried to calculate a formula

In democratic societies it's very hard to keep a thing secret that involved 10+ people for 20+ years.

> grim economic insecurity ==>> really nasty governments ==>> lots of war and other evil-at-scale.

I sort of agree, but it’s also a bit more nuanced than that (and of course more nuanced than what I write here. The world is incredibly complex and we simply never know in history where some event must inevitably have been followed by another or that something else could have happened under slightly different circumstances.)

Hitler at the peak received only about 40% of the votes, but he got in because the autocracy thought he would not become much anyway and still hamper the autocrats opposition. Also not the whole of Europe was having nasty governments. Most were trying to appease the Nazi regime in the hope to avoid further escalation. Churchill, for example, was considered a war monger at that time since he didn’t trust Hitler and wanted to stop the appeasement politics.

Also, in Eastern Europe the first causality arrow should be reversed. Really nasty governments caused economic problems in the Soviet. Not necessarily the other way around.

Since there is currently a lot of capitalism hate going around, I’ll defend why the Soviet was nasty regime. The idea of Karl Marx for example was that capitalism is wage slavery and Marxism-Leninism was the only solution. So what they did in their fight against capitalism is to round up everyone who had too much capital. And to still get money into the goverment, farmers were enslaved. Next, factories received weird metrics and incentives, all centrally managed, which caused factories to often produce low quality products. In some cases the sum of the value of the products going into the factory was higher than the products coming out of the factory.
> >The Chinese can track the origin, destination and other data of the U.S. military’s containerized materiel

Everybody can do that. Here are sites for tracking a container.[1][2]

Many people need to know where containers are. Ship operators, ports, railroads, truckers, customs officials in multiple countries, customs brokers... It's not usually a big secret.
The military may operate outside the commercial system at times, but probably with their own vessels.

I tried to learn LilyPond once but it was a bit too arcane for my taste. Now I use MuseScore, WYSIWYG notation program which is a lot more intuitive (and, like LilyPond, also released under the GPL).

A name that makes many of your friends smile ironically is not a name that would induce a network effect, except maybe in marginal communities ("bitards").

Nice post. A couple things to add:

1. The Mamba co-author was also the FlashAttention lead author.

2. The secret ingredient that makes SSMs viable for deep learning is HiPPO theory. If you start with random initialization you're not going to get results. What you need is "optimal online function approximation" using Legendre polynomials, a Fourier basis, etc., in matrix form. The Mamba story starts with Legendre Memory Units.

Invariably someone comments, "How do we know that it scales?" We don't. But the lead author has backing and a new startup at cartesia.ai. Could be the next Mistral.

> or bad temperature control.

In that case you should prefer teflon. Oil with bad temperature control is far more harmful, because oil produces toxic gasses at a much lower temperature vs teflon. You have much greater leeway with teflon to catch mistakes, and the results are not as harmful.

IPv4 is not the default on any of the platforms you mentioned, it’s a paid add-on you must pay extra for.

It just seems strange that a federated social network platform who wants as wide of an audience as possible, gatekeeps who can participate based on a trivial self imposed limitation.

Hope I don’t sound like a hater because I’m excited for this, but yea it’s a bigger deal than a lot of people think. Even just dealing with bots is 100x easier when you have v6 because you can fine tune rules based on ASNs much easier when you can expect v6 addresses from certain networks and what not. We saw this in India the most where most bot activity would be v4 only, while humans would connect over v6, so we could dynamically tune sensitivity on challenges based on solve rates and what not.
Thanks for the informative read. It doesn't do a stylometric comparison, but the rest of the evidence is fairly compelling.

I didn't much buy the coding style comparison, as I myself often switch around the styles being compared in the article.

> I didn't see any clear definition of populism anywhere here.

For reference this is what the paper says. Seems like they are taking a broad approach.

> The most conventional approach in the literature identifies populism as a ‘thin-centred ideol-
ogy’ that frames the fundamental political cleavage between the elite and the pure people (Mudde 2007). The strengths of this approach are that it is agnostic about the causes and the specific pol-
icy content of populism; is broad enough to capture a wide range of the phenomenon, such as left- and right-wing; inclusionary or exclusionary populism; and specific enough to exclude non-
populism. Despite the ubiquity of this definition, empirical researchers often include parties influenced by the notion of anti-establishment politics, a term closely related to populism (Barr 2009; Mudde 2007).1 Our aim is not to clarify the concept of populism or decide between different approaches but to capture a wide variety of populist outcomes to reflect the heterogeneity of
the literature. Thus, our definition includes the radical left, the radical right, and historical pre-
cedents of populism, such as fascism in Europe or Latin-American import-substitution populism, such as Peronism (Guriev and Papaioannou 2022, 11–13).

Those countries either have a low population density, immigration rate or nature there is far more remote than in England.
I think the point of the article was not that reconductoring is simple, but that it's easier than building new transmission capacity given the insane NIMBY vetocracy that makes such construction essentially impossible. It's a political fix, rather than a technical one.

Personally my preferred solution would be permitting reform such that transmission capacity is approved and built by-right and NIMBYs can go pound sand if they don't like it, but you have to deal with the political landscape you have, not the one you want.
It is mainly artificial. A bit like the zoning codes in the US I think.

There is property where you can build a proper house and live there (requirement is, that there is infrastructure, like water and electricity). Then there are gardens, where maybe a small cabin is allowed (but you may not officially live there). And then there is everything else, where you normally cannot build anything.
It's always a trade-off! You could have more accurate sensors and motors that are more expensive, or you can have cheaper motors with no sensors and higher accumulated errors. Since this is more of a research project than a product, we went for a cheap robot with the slower-but-more-accurate approach.
Anti-globalist seems like a more precise term for what you're describing.

It also avoids clashing with populist movements of the past, which dealt with issues other than those that you're describing.
Category error. Populism isn't an issue portfolio; there is left-populism and right-populism. Populism is a vector for influencing politics (specifically: it's the vector that rejects pluralism, divides the polity into "the people" and "the elites", and declares that a particular political agenda, in its entirety, represents the true will of the people).

If "traditional mindsets" are pursued by means of populism, it's a populist campaign. If not, it isn't. There is nothing intrinsically populist about anti-globalism, but, like many political agendas, it's easy to create a populist lozenge for it to get it down the polity's throat easily.
I don't eat out because I'm chronically cheap. But after I stopped drinking magically the cost of eating out came down to Earth. But post Pandy, it's not just the cost of eating out. It's also the service, if you can find any. Most restaurants are wildly understaffed and the staff is terrible. I've worked service jobs most of my life before switching to tech so I understand more than most how rude customers are and how terrible these jobs are. This is something different. This is a pre-primed anger toward the customer.
There should be a remake, I'd watch it (psst.. Netflix, if you're watching).

You don’t even need the pushes API to see commits that were force pushed away. You can get the head of any branch at a given time using `gitrevisions` [1] syntax any place that you would normally put a branch or commit.

e.g to see the state of the cpython main branch on January 1 we can ask for `main@{2024-01-01}`:

https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/main@{2024-01-01}

This does not walk the commit history, but instead the server-side reflog, so it’s immune to force pushing and can only be avoided by GC of the reflog or repo. Definitely contact GH support if you pushed something you shouldn’t have.

The title is more alarming than the substance of the article. Apple is investing in a novel technology that may be able to measure technology using light waves, but the article says it's still in early stages and there's no rush to market with it.

Given Apple's history with ECG and other Apple Watch, FDA approved tech there's no nefarious scheme to deliver anything that doesn't pass approvals.
The article made a quite different argument than "dogs are much better at odor detection than us" - that is contrary to what the research shows. Humans have much better ability to smell some things than dogs do, but, dogs are (as you noted) capable of smelling some things better than humans.

Not trying to be inflammatory, but it's not really about teenagers, or about OpenAI's intentions. We can look at what they are doing.

One group is downloading things other people made, sometimes transforming them - but we certainly haven't seen an explosion of remixes at the scale of OpenAI creations. The other group, OpenAI, makes tools that ingest copyrighted material and enable people to make a huge number of more complex transformations than the original "remix" culture, where the inputs are usually quite visible.

FWIW, I don't even really think the content pirates have as terrible a name as in GP's comment. I certainly have no criticism of them, especially considering that's how I got my start in technology. It's fine, it's just not as cool or as widespread as GenAI.

This is the type of bullshit that psychopaths use to justify their actions.

No company is entitled to their business model, especially if they can only "capture value" by destroying the competition and/or stopping others from creating value on their own.

Having a "guiding principle" does not mean that other principles should be ignored. Go ahead and focus on making money, but do not use that as an excuse to become a rent-seeking parasite on the rest of society.
It is not new. America is special because we are a nation of immigrants. Always have been. And it is one of America's biggest strengths, one of the reason why we have been so prosperous. The acrimonious immigration debate is also not new, there has always been anti and pro factions. What is new is the level of surveillance and bureaucracy to notice and control immigration and the partisan polarization on the issue.

Populism isn’t new. But the ideas being called “populist” today wouldn’t have warranted that label even a few decades ago. It’s turned into a label for everyone who opposes globalized industries and mass immigration.
I am curious about this “non-US-left-wing”, maybe someone can clarify.

I consider left-wing to mean the same here in the US and abroad. But the presence of actual “leftists” in the US dialogue has decreased dramatically since the bad old Rockefeller/Carnegie days when the working class made some nominal but real progress.

These days in the US, people associate the “left” with identity politics and some vague, ever-decreasing lip service to the oppression of the working class voter. The Democrat Party establishment is staunchly neoliberal, in practice, nearly indistinguishable from the Reagan-era Republican except for some theatrics around gender and race, but they are not leftist by any reasonable measure.

Is that the distinction you are referring to here, or is this another classification of leftism that doesn’t apply to either US contingency?

I have no insight on the ease of reconductoring, stupid or not.

I do know that permitting a new transmission line route -- parallel to an existing route of insufficient capacity -- is severely constraining the further development of a known, existing geothermal resource. I was quoted a delay of 10-ish years for that permitting process by one of the higher-ups in the geothermal company involved.
I assume the drive failed due to the power cycle, not due to electrical damage.
