>But "local midwestern employer salary" isn't sexy.

True, but it's always funny when people compare midwestern salaries to FAANG companies, as if the cost of living is like 10x less in the midwest. I don't know the specifics of what wolfram pays, but my gut feeling has always been that it's likely pretty good. A lot of the other random math and tech adjacent companies in the area started by ex-wolfram employees and UIUC grads seem to be doing pretty well.

I'm confused. Everything sounds very expensive to me.

The last table which compares it with the other vendors is surprising. Even Stich Data (cheapest) costs $1 to move 240K records: (1B / 4,166.67 = 240K). Is this real?

So, their solution costs $1 to process 13.6M records. Sounds like this is not very share-worthy.

What I'm missing here?
Yes, AMD (which has great GPUs, but sucks at software), Intel (that's improving rapidly on GPU side), and possibly Google with their Tensor. Also, AWS has their dedicated AI chips, aptly named Trainium and Inferentia.

Theoretically even Apple could start producing AI chips based on their Neural Engine.

The better NVIDIA's results are now the more that encourages the competitors to try and take some of the cake for themselves.

> we will no longer be producing open source stable releases

That's a quote from their blog post. They don't mention stable release branches anywhere. It's safe to assume (I'd love to be wrong) that what's stable and what isn't is behind the paywall, otherwise this change makes no sense, as compiling the project on your own is not hard.
Some details on the requirements:

> Some of the differences in testing between [international standard SAE] J3069 and the final rule adopted by NHTSA include applying the glare limits at all ranges as opposed to at specific points (30 meters, 60 meters, etc.) in the SAE test. The final rule also specifies actual curves of various sizes as opposed to using simulated curves as well as using actual vehicles instead of assemblies intended to simulate vehicle lamps. NHTSA defended its choice noting that many of the tests are the same.

> "The final rule follows SAE J3069 in many significant respects but is different in some areas due to safety considerations. For example, the SAE standard permits up to 25% increase in glare compared to current limits and would allow systems that do not provide benefits beyond standard lower beams to be marketed to consumers as AFS," said a NHTSA spokesperson.

> the notion of commutativity here is very weak and counterintuitive; it only seems to cover the applicability of an auto-merge heuristic

This is completely false: in Pijul, any patches that could have been produced independently can be applied in any order without changing the result. There are 0 heuristics in Pijul, unlike in Git where even random line reshuffling can happen (there are examples in the "Why Pijul" section of the Pijul manual).

Obviously, deciding whether a merge has the correct semantic is Turing-complete, and Pijul doesn't try to do any of that.
I like how the article points out the token consumption at each step. Do we have an idea of how much energy is actually used by each token?
>I don't see what IO has to do with it.

ASP web framework creates instances of Controllers (handlers) on request basis, that's when they need to resolve dependencies in order to create them, so it fits it very well.

But when I need to create instance of some repository, some background job handler and some csv writer, then why would I want to do it via DI container?

I'm talking about containers, just containers.

DI != DI containers
Rust does have something equivalent to what's described in the article you linked (and in fact the article even cites it): `&Cell<T>`. It does have some drawbacks compared to what's described in the article though (e.g. no built-in field projection, but it can technically be added in a future compiler version). It is also not completly free: it requires custom implementations of `Clone` to be `unsafe` (in Rust this is equivalent to the fact you cannot clone the `T` inside a `&Cell<T>`, this could also be fixed with an `unsafe trait`). Overall the idea is nice though and I'm curious to see how it will turn out in practice.
The AI will literally scold you for asking it to make white characters, and insists that you need to be inclusive and that it is being intentionally dishonest to force the issue.
It is a stochastic parrot, and you perfectly explain why saying please helps.
I think the most common use for git branches is topic branches. Independent lines of development you are not ready to share with your team, or your team with the rest of the company, or commit to production. I don't see how Pijul features can remove the need for such lines of development.

I also don't see how it matters whether a branch is long-lived or not. What Pijul may help with is a (broken, IMHO) workflow of some Git projects where the long-standing branches are constantly rebased. This workflow is bad, but having branches in Git does not force you to (mis)use rebase.

I am not saying anything against Pijul, and maybe there is a better way than branches to manage multiple lines of development, but I'd like it to be explained. So far I cannot guess what it might be.
Nope. This is due to a past controversy about image search: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/22/technology/ai-photo-label...

Model inference can be done with any GPU, AMD, Nvidia, Intel. Can even be done with CPU in many cases.

Training is largely done on Nvidia cards, but there's nothing mandating that.

Google trained Gemini on their own in-house TPUs, and according to their published stats it exceeds ChatGPTs performance.

There's a collective delusion right now that somehow CUDA entitles Nvidia to a forever monopoly on GPU compute. There's no way they will maintain ~90% gross margins on their hardware sales. It's far too economically inefficient for purchasers in the long run.

The ones who figure out how to use competitor cards at less than half the cost will have a huge advantage

Right now it's fevered money pouring into what they see as the fastest way to get their feet into the game. Nvidia will do well, but that's already more than priced in right now.

There are only a few companies making competitors at scale. It's very interesting that Google doesn't sell TPUs. They don't because they need every TPU they can get fabricated.

There isn't much technical details to it. Caddy exposes profiles by default[0] and prometheus metrics are available as opt-in. We set up grafana-agent to collect profiles and metrics from Caddy, poked at the Grafana Cloud portal, studied the available data, and checked the charts for anomalies. Grafana Cloud made it easy for us to get started with that without having to build more infrastructure for them, which will also require extra energy that can be better spent on the core of our project.

> It's bad because while you may trust the government right now, there are no guarantees that a government you do NOT trust won't be elected in the future.

Yes, but this ignores the reverse causality component.

If people feel unsafe then the probability that a bad government gets elected goes up. Look at El Salvador. Freedom can't survive if people's basic needs (such as physical safety) aren't met.

The freedom vs safety dichotomy isn't a simple spectrum. There are feedback dynamics.
I finally turned on the watch history because the suggestions without it were so far out.

Seriously, integrating with a single vendor is often nightmarish. And this guy is proposing some unholy vendor centipede? Harrrrrrd pass.
As I said, you need to dig my comment history for that, because I have no time to rewrite everything I said over and over again.

Distribution politics is something I’m familiar with enough, and I’m well versed enough in UNIX philosophy and how bending it creates problems (which systemd has gone through, and painfully learnt it again).

Another reason that I’m not writing a wall of text is I like horses and not prefer beating them regardless of they are alive or not.

However, if it comes to that, I can roll my own distribution, which I did in a professional capacity before.

Paralel Sys-V (with dependencies), Mudur and upstart was not slower than systemd, and we were already able to do everything systemd was doing. That’s still true.

I’m using systemd on a thousand machines every day, and yes, it has improved, but it’s neither perfect, nor indispensable, yet developers prefer to lock themselves into it.

Lastly, free software moves with respect to each other, not by “moving fast and breaking things because feeling like it”. Systemd became better because they had to accept that they can’t bend everything the way they want. Systemd doesn’t live in a vacuum and doesn’t have the luxury and authority to break and build things as they wish and expect everyone adapt to them and worship them as demigods.
With all due respect, I think this is a great example of where we should deviate from the guidelines.

The original title is burying the lede.
The stable version is not paywalled for individuals, nor for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

So the only groups that need to worry about your concern are larger companies that rely on Linkerd for stability. This seems like a reasonable group to attempt to target for revenue.

This. I can be great at focusing on something for hours without thinking of anything else.

The problem is I have a hard time controlling what that focus will actually be on.
Computers have keyboard shortcuts for locking. Some even have dedicated/configurable single buttons for locking, so they are just as easy to lock as phones are IMO.
The very first thing that anybody did when they found the text to speech software in the computer lab was make it say curse words.

But we understood that it was just doing what we told it to do. If I made the TTS say something offensive, it was me saying something offensive, not the TTS software.

People really need to be treating these generative models the same way. If I ask it to make something and the result is offensive, then it's on me not to share it (if I don't want to offend anybody), and if I do share it, it's me that is sharing it, not microsoft, google, etc.

We seriously must get over this nonsense. It's not openai's fault, or google's fault if I tell it to draw me a mean picture.

On a personal level, this stuff is just gross. Google appears to be almost comically race-obsessed.
Selling a Mr Brainwash painting to fund proof of concept
Hello,

My name is Noah Toates and I run qualityvirtualtour.com here in LA. I recently worked with the artist Mr. Brainwash at his museum in Beverly Hills and I was paid with a painting valued at $20,000 retail. It is a very nice painting but I am building a proof of concept https://youtu.be/m_SPBPndIIs and could use the money to give me some breathing room for the next few months. If anyone appreciates pop/street art, I would love to sell the painting or secure a loan using it as collateral.

The painting is my background in that video.

> When the contents has a conflict, git and pijul behave similarly.

Not really: Pijul can record a conflict resolution as a patch, and apply it in a different context. Also, the conflict doesn't "come back", so you don't need extra hacks like rerere/jujutsu.

> Pijul just removes the manual work when there is no conflict in the contents but the history is different.

This is true, but could be confusing as our definition of conflicts isn't based on contents, but on operations, which is very different from Git (Git doesn't detect all conflicts).
This is entirely the case. Given a sensible grammar stated in a sensible way, it's very easy to write a nice recursive decent parser. They are fast and easy to maintain. It doesn't limit the expressiveness of your grammar unduly.

Both GCC and LLVM implement recursive decent parsers for their C compilers.

Parser generators are an abomination inflicted upon us by academia, solving a non problem, and poorly.
It's does, but as someone who is staunchly anti-censorship, I understand the frustration. There are sharks out there who want to control speech for their own ends - governments seeking to control populations, corporations wanting docile consumers, hostile nations wishing to stir dissent, individuals trying to cover up their misdeeds, and enabling censorship helps those hostile parties achieve their ends. In this worldview, regular people who say a variation of "censorship is good, actually" are perhaps seen as useful idiots.

A better approach would be building up the critical thinking skills of the population so they can better process information, however that transfers a measure of power to the people and is a multigenerational investment, and removes a justification for censorship, which is politically unappealing.
Sure, but it's still a statistical model, it doesn't know what the instructions mean, it just does what those instructions statistically link to in the training data. It's not doing perfect forward logic and never will in this paradigm.

> At what point does it become more feasible to rewrite your architecture or use less GPU

They are but it takes a lot of time.

Most of the big players - Google, Meta, OpenAI, Amazon, and Microsoft all are actively developing TPU/NPUs that would be used instead of the H100/A100's everyone is using for machine learning.

Google (tensorflow/jax), Meta(pytorch), Microsoft(onyx), Openai(triton) and Apple (mlx) each have software stacks for optimizing models for multiple platforms.

It takes a lot of time to develop the silicon and software stack. As a result everyone is using H100's in the interum until the hardware/software catches up. Google has been using their TPUs already.

There's other companies like Groq that are also developing NPU/TPU like devices.
