No it won't. GPUs are good at ml partly because of the huge memory bandwidth. 1000s of bits wide. You won't find connectors that have that many terminals and maintain signal quality. Even putting a second bank soldered on the same signals can be enough to mess things up.
Yishan did this same sleight of hand trick with twitter before Elon bought it[1]. Then his point was that twitter doesn't have a bias, it's simply a normal moderation problem (noise-signal ratio). Now that twitter is owned by Elon, everyone can see it obviously moved right.

What normies are fairly noticing in these corps is moderating not by the overton window of the normal consumer, but by the overton window of the managerial class who run the business.

Trucks have turned into real monsters. Others on here have mentioned that legislation intended to improve fuel economy had some sort of yearly increasing weight category that was suppose to reduce the amount of large vehicles. But manufacturers all gamed it by just increasing the weight and size vehicles to stay above the line.

> the DOM is still slow and it is easy to make it behave even slower

I think this should be more nuanced: the DOM itself has been fast for 10-15 years but things like layout are still a concern on large pages. The problem is that the DOM, like an ORM, can make it easy to miss when you’re requesting the browser do other work like recalculating layout, and also that as people started using heavier frameworks they started losing track of what triggers updates.

Lists are an interesting challenge because it’s surprisingly hard to beat a well-tuned browser implementation (overflow scrolling, etc.) but a lot of people still have the IE6 instincts and jump for implementing custom scrolling, only to find that there are a lot of native scrolling implementation features which are hard to match, and at some point they realize that what they really should have done was change the design to make layout easier to calculate (e.g. fixed or easily-calculated heights) or displayed fewer things at once.
Closing paragraph, after describing a bunch of surgical data, and research done on mice:

> Of course, none of this answers the question of why females might have evolved to resist the tug of anesthetic sleep more than males. But it does settle some puzzles about cause and effect. And it could, ultimately, lead to safer surgeries for women.

IANAA (not an anesthesiologist)...but (say) upping the doses for women, because of rare wake-up events, might very easily do more harm than good.
Your null implementation did help put it into context to some extent. Even then, in general, the API surface sufficient for a null implementation may not be enough for some real implementations. What if at least one real implementation ended up needing another parameter, and making that parameter available required a cascade of changes through several other functions and types? If that's what happened, the second change would have to carry that weight, and the changes combined required more review overall than one change which had the final API from the start.

I assume the way you wrote it is that you already had the real version ready so you knew the API was sufficient even when you only sent the null version for review. Your reviewer probably trusted you to do that, or at least assumed it was in your interests to do that. But if that wasn't assumed or asserted, the reviewer could rightly ask how you know the first version is the right design based only on the null version.

I've definitely seen people come up with an architecture, API, or even network protocol based on what they hope will work without testing it on any real implementation yet. Just one detail from the real implementation can undermine the whole idea, scrapping any dev and review work done up to that point. Your change didn't have that problem, but if we're recommending principles for others then it's only fair to say this can be a problem.

I don't ask for a review for any design I haven't already fleshed out to a working solution, and even then, what works for one real consumer may not generalize well enough to other real consumers. But I consider one the bare minimum, and I make sure reviewers know what that one real implementation is as context for review, even if it does happen to be in a separate change or even separate repo.

At an extreme, it's like how you don't post an RFC that imagines a neat protocol that could exist, you post an RFC describing a protocol that has already been implemented and can now be generalized for broader interoperability. An internal API surface is the other extreme because it is much easier to evolve later, and a library API surface is somewhere in between, but all of them benefit from demonstrating real-world implementations of the abstract interface.

Funny that you mention RAG since the RAG authors had expressed their regret of not using a much better name and the name stucked once it becomes very popular.

Maybe insurance companies can give discounts for installing their app that "locks" your phone while in motion.

If you're the passenger and want to unlock the phone...take a selfie? More psychology than tech here.

This wouldn't affect mass transit commuters since they wouldn't have a car insurance app. The insurance company could sell it as a way to get additional savings...I recently did something similar with safeco that was way more invasive.

Why would anyone be surprised by this when a meaningful % of children basically did nothing for 2 years during COVID.

I forget what city it was but there was a meaningful % of children who didn't log in at all during covid. They didn't just not pay attention, they didn't even log in to the class.

I know for myself, if I had been young during COVID my education would be frozen at that time. Then on top of that replace the classroom with Tiktok bullshit.

Yes of course! If you think not, you have no imagination. You can be a victim of crime, disproportionately taxed, pushed out of your job over bullshit, not hired, hated by a lot of people for simply existing, treated unfairly in court. All because your race is blamed for everything. You don't have to lose it all to experience racism. You could get sucker punched in the street by someone with racial motives. Look up "Knockout Game" to see how black kids actually do that.

I hate to bring up the Jews, but they are a classic group that fits the description. Arguably wealthier than average but blamed for everything by some people. Certainly nobody would deny they are facing racism. The leftists who call everyone Nazis are terrorizing innocent Jews around the country right now.

Schools trying to prevent their students from using AI are fighting a rear-guard action. The detection tools will never be reliable, and the conflict between attempts to ban AI use in educational settings and the widespread use of AI in the real world will become increasingly apparent.

Just yesterday, Google added AI features to my Workspace account. Now, when I open a Google Doc, a handy menu appears offering to change the tone of the text, lengthen or shorten it, convert it to bullet points, or follow my custom prompt. When I’ve asked it to correct text that contains grammatical and spelling errors, it cleans up the mistakes while making only minor changes to the wording. It will also write a new text from scratch—no need to cut and paste from Gemini or ChatGPT.

It won’t be easy, but educators will just have to figure out new methods of teaching and evaluation that assume that students have powerful AI tools available at all times.

> The same guys also force us to change our passwords every 6 months

While I know this may be fruitless, it might be worthwhile to point out to them that the official guidance from NIST and similar organizations is now not to do this.

The IT department where I work required yearly password changes up until I brought this change to their attention, at which point they changed to simply recommending a password change if you have reason to believe it might have been compromised.
If you don’t already know, you’re the target of it.

In 2023 I moved into an apartment across from a school in Chicago. The room I work in looks over the street. It's shocking how many drivers are looking at their phone as they approach a crosswalk where children are actively crossing to go to school! It's worse in the morning: parents drop off their own child and they just pick the phone right up, I guess. Other kids be damned.

Drawing peak power far in excess of the TDP is what all Intel processors have been designed to do for many years now.

Some consider it cheating the benchmarks, but the justification is that TDP is the Thermal Design Power. It's about the cooling system you need, not the power delivery. If you make reasonable assumptions about the thermal inertia of the cooling system you can Turbo Boost at higher power and hope the workload is over before you are forced to throttle down again.

Any mainboard that sets power limits to the TDP would be considered wrong by both the community and Intel. This looks like a solid indication that the issue is with Intel

Forced password updates are a bad thing.

If your company does forced password updates, they are not following the NIST recommendation: https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-FAQ/#q-b05

50/50? For terrible guessers maybe.

For experts with tens of thousands of hours experience in a
specialised field, with 40 years of case studies to extrapolate from?

Let's cast it in more relatable terms:

Such a person is, an enormous collection of data.

The day will come... soon, when people who "believe in technology" (in
the very strong sense) will see no problem putting absolute trust in a
neural network trained on exactly that same corpus of data.

A neural network is of course, a magnificent black box statistics
machine.

And what are statistics machines trained on? Numbers. But they process
and relate to them in a fuzzy way.

What is a spreadsheet and data analytics suite? Numbers.

Now your human specialist is going to outperform the numbers machine
every time. But the human can often not introspect their ineffable
knowledge (most expert knowledge is like that; which is why we
developed the entire filed of expert systems to make it legible)

So if we choose to call such knowledge "feelings" of "guesswork" we're
making a silly mistake. What does that even mean?

Neither can the neural network introspect. But we choose to label that
ineffable knowledge as "calculation".

And so you invoke the magical properties of "NUmbers!" (did you mean
real or imaginary ones :)

You see the error we fall into, giving two different labels to the
same process only because of what hardware they execute on?

What I'd really like to talk about is the logical process of discovery
called "abduction", but I fear I am rambling already :)
The networks have a massive incentive to minimize fraud. That's not to say that they are wildly successful or anything, but I do know from first hand professional experience that card networks spend a lot of time, money, and research into detecting and preventing fraud.

I rented a ford ecosport a few years ago and couldnt believe how bad the forward visibility was. Huge fat pillars positioned perfectly to block the drivers view of where the car is headed when turning left at typical intersections. Now when i cross roads as a pedestrian i regularly spot the faces of drivers completely blocked by the front pillar as their vehicle careens toward me. Better hope they are paying attention during the half second window they have to apply the brake after finally seeing me. Sometimes i open an umbrella before crossing.

I am extremely optimistic about using learned heuristics in discrete algorithms like A* or Focal search or the various families of ILP.

In most modern discrete optimization libraries, e.g. CPLEX it's the heuristics and tuning that explain the performance.

I'm less understanding of using a end to end learning approach to replace a well understood optimal search routine, but that might be pearl clutching.

It just seems to me the authors missed that opportunity.

You have internalized the disrespect of management in that "laziness" is bad.

When you get injured, you have to rest to recover. Burnout is kinda like that but there's no blood, scabs or physical pain you can identify.

Either find a way to re-adjust your workload, or find a new team that treats you with dignity and respect. As someone who is 4+ years into a burnout / recovery journey I can assure you that you will NEVER feel better in an environment that is hostile.

People are not honest about their negative behavior and if you try to confront abusers they will gaslight you into thinking you are the problem. If you are beaten down enough you will not be able to fight back against this even if you are smart enough to outwit them.

There is a very common thread here- the objc users are happy where they're at, the Swift fans don't understand and want to tell them why their opinion is wrong.

ObjC is a fantastic language, Swift is fine too but the compiler is slow and breaking changes to the language are painful.

I hate the equivalence of data to A/B testing. If all your data people do is say a button should be yellow then you're not using data effectively.

As the article says, data won’t tell you everything, which is why your data people need to also be product people, and not just sql monkeys or phds in a backroom doing analyses nobody will understand or read.

You're confounding using Javascript for web development and "loading megabytes of tracking code". They are not mutual exclusive, nor have anything to do with the development side of it. Advertising and tracking are a business decision, not technical one.

Well, you're entitled to not visit/use those websites if the megabytes of JS don't serve you. That would be the cost of the decision made to use Javascript by those websites, to have people that share your opinion not using them. And cost is a subjective factor dependent on multiple things and hidden from the user, so when you judge a website to be using Javascript without need, you're basically saying that you know better the cost to the developer than the developer itself.
Thanks, interesting doc, real life Chinatown.

If you like Chandler, you must listen to the six 90-minute BBC radio adaptations, with Ed Bishop as Marlowe from the 1970s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_BBC_Presents%3A_Philip_Mar...

Stream or download:

https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/Raymond_Cha...

Cool, retro, atmospheric and crisp. This is not casual
listening, you have to pay attention to every name and
plot twist. Better than Gould (not difficult), Mitchum and
even Bogart, Ed Bishop is the best Marlowe. Perhaps the
femmes fatales do not come close to Bacall - who can? -
but there are delightful female performances of banality,
calculation and evil. Pour yourself a big one, turn the
lights down, relax on the couch, and prepare to lose
yourself in 90 minutes of perfect noir.

P.S. There was a BBC second series with Toby Stevens as Marlowe, so not these, accept no substitute for Bishop, but they are free to download:
