“brother does not engage in HP-like shenanigans” is not equal to “this old printer will work forever”. Even on Linux, my Brother printer’s cups definitions are unmaintained and not available for 64-bit systems or something. So I have to keep an old Linux install around to share the printer from. You’re still probably better off buying a newer Brother than going HP though.
Could then just call it:

It was way more than one line. I'd say it was one of major plotlines, talked about quite a few times.
Not only you have no source backing your claim, but there is a glaring counterexample. Chromium's experimental JPEG XL support carried an expiry milestone, which was delayed multiple times and it was bumped last time on June 2022 [1] before the final removal on October, which was months later the patent was granted!

This site was amazing when I started front end development. I remember checking in from time to time and finally seeing the blunder with DO. DO was another starting point for me in my career when I was learning servers. Sad to see this outcome.
Oh for sure, I did read your first paragraph that way. I think what I was trying to communicate (badly) is the message that I want to ingrain in engineering culture writ large - don't let anyone do this unless they're Rich Hickey.

That's calibrated too far the other way but there'd be less damage.
Great question!

Depends on your workload size, if the compute time is less than time it takes to transfer the data back and forth, then it might be a bad idea to use it indeed.

Typically these solutions should only be tested after maxing out vertical scaling, before applying for horizontal scaling.

Network is one hell of a destroyer when it comes to advantages gained from distributed computing.

I wasn't able to convince myself about that when approaching that question with with back-off-the-envelope calculation, published research and prototypes.

Very few applications are constantly decoding images. Today a single image is often decided in a few milliseconds, but watched 1000x longer. If you 10x or even 100x energy consumption of image decoding, it is still not going to compete with display, radio and video decoding as a battery drain.
Gutted for the decline of CSS-Tricks. I've yet to find any place as good.
The downside here is the need to proxy everything through the same server. That will add latency and possibly throttle bandwidth if that data is
coming from third parties.

The scenario where this could be good is something where there are background
jobs running behind the service that
would have been API-ed through the same web server anyway.

But I have an ingenious solution for the best of both worlds! An Iframe.
What the study actually says:

> current Li-ion cell, primary data were used in this study resulting in 50,8 kg CO2eq/kWh in the WCS and 30,9 kg CO2eq/kWh in the BCS.

From the context in the study it's clear they're talking about capacity.
You should try single source 100% chocolate sometime. It's an acquired taste, but at least there's more flavor to it than just bitter.
Oof, not off the top of my head. I think that's something I wrote about in an older post about an engineering interview I sat, but if you hit up my email, I can speak to one of my co-directors who has done loads of stuff in this space.
Trying to make Vulkan a single API that covers everything from low-end mobile to high-end desktop was probably a mistake, in practice it has split into wildly distinct dialects for low-end and high-end targets anyway. Maybe one day we'll get a Vulkan 2.0 which ratchets up the mandatory baseline hardware features to something reasonably modern and removes all the API cruft needed to accommodate less capable hardware.
Here Come the AI Worms
My company used to have teams work on primarily 1 main application with a couple smaller supporting apps, usually in one stack. Members of the team usually had a primary role or area of responsibility. Basically things were more structured and better defined. Even things like requirements were better defined and the integrations points were well documented.

A few years ago they started pushing multiple applications onto teams, including in multiple stacks. Roles are less defined and everyone is just expected to do everything. So you're switching between apps, tiers, and stacks constantly. In some cases they have one code based that includes multiple apps which multiple teams work on. This creates constant changes and small issues in local dev setup. They're really pushing speed and agility, which ends up with poor requirements and designs compared to the past since it's less formal and less thought through.

I went from being a high performer to being a low performer. After years of being lied to, passed over, and screwed over while being a high performer and now being told I do great work in some areas but my day to day work is too slow, I'm completely demotivated and demoralized. I have good credentials and previous coworkers have thought i was already a senior dev, yet I'll never make it to that level. I've been on multiple teams and asked for accommodations such as reduced context switching, but they can't do anything about it because of the way the work is structured. One team even told me they were surprised I stuck around for 2 years because they expected to burn people out in about 1 year. This checks out since they had more than 100% turnover in those 2 years and I was the only one left from the original team. They made a big deal about their contract with Auticon. When asked in an enterprise meeting (by someone else thankfully) what they were doing for employees with similar backgrounds it was crickets - no answer.

I honestly don't know if I can keep this job, even though it's just an early career midlevel position. It sucks to think I no longer have a career with advancement options. If I lose this job I assume I'll end up working at Walmart or something. The stress of an uncertain future and having a family to support is extreme.
You are right, but that would make an uglier plot :)

Some of the intermediate options are available though, through various more fine-grained encoder settings than what is exposed via the overall effort setting. Of course they will not fall exactly on the line that was drawn, but as a first approximation, the line is probably closer to the truth than the staircase, which would be an underestimate of what can be done.
Yes as your comment and lawyers comment below show there was a veneer of “we are war professionals, our war is legal and just” and I was listening to every patriotic song that came out celebrating every bomb. My highschool had some highlights of iraq being bombed to the tune of “let the bodies hit the floor.”

At the end of the day war is a racket, the prescence of the lawyer detailing what he did below should only raise everyone’s BS meter to “overload.”

I’m not sure if it was a million we killed or 600k or maybe less but the defense of “many of those weren’t us, it’s was subsequent totally unrelated non us involved” is also a very lawyerly statement. Like, we only lit this one tree on fire maaaannn, we didn’t light the whole damn neighborhood!

Let us not forget the Wikileaks either as a self purported hacker community. 12 unarmed men gleefully murdered by an Apache helicopter (including 2 ap reporters). [1]

Let’s also not forget Madeleine Albright defending the death of 1/2million Iraq children in 1996. When asked by 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?", Albright replied "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price is worth it." [2]

For what it’s worth, I am a US patriot, I just don’t excuse our BS behavior as I’ve been sold the whole “we are very careful, we have lawyers and 2ndary explosion analysts” line one too many times.

The price is always worth it to certain people and industries. I’m not ragging on the lawyer below, I hope he was able to do some good. But it’s all bullshit, from start/middle/end (Afghanistan withdrawal, you should have seen the look on vets faces as they realized every sacrifice, buddy lost, person killed was completely and totally pointless, but don’t worry we have a national suicide call line)

My initial analogy was already weak, so I guess there's no point in extending it. They key fact here is that tokens are inputs to what essentially is an overgrown matrix multiplication routine.

I think the main asset of fine tuned models are their training datasets.

If you fine tune an OpenAI model, you can fine tune another model with little efforts. Just use the model you prefer. Today it might be something from OpenAI, but it could also be a small mistral. It’s worth doing a few benchmarks.
It looks a lot like they've set up a puppet government in Ukraine

It "looks like", but only if we glance casually at a couple of articles (or sometimes even just headlines of articles) here and there, without taking the time to, like, actually read them.

Or we pick up random partial factoids (like about the Nuland cable), and we start thinking "Hmm, this would align with [some vastly larger mental model we have the world works]" without stopping to think about what the factoid is actually about, or whether it actually has much of any significance to begin with.

What you have here is article that says "CIA, Ukraine" and you're thinking right way it's about Ukraine being a puppet state. But that's not something the article asserts, or even comes close to talking about as a topic.

It has lossless just to check a box in terms of supported features. A bit like how JPEG XL supports animation just to have feature parity. But in most cases, you'll be better off using a video codec for animation, and an image format for images.
When I was working at a place that makes TVs, we were trying to reduce number of physical buttons to cut costs. I imagine HDMI just works and everything that has a display port probably also has an HDMI output
Agreed. For web use they all decode fast enough. Any time difference might be in progression or streaming decoding, vs. waiting for all the data to arrive before starting to decode.

For image gallery use of camera resolution photographs (12-50 Mpixels) it can be more fun to have 100+ Mpixels/s, even 300 Pixels/s.
I suppose it depends on which risks you're trying to reduce. The risk of death, however, is 100% no matter what, so it's not worth getting uptight about.
How about an order preventing it from being transferred to the US government? Or to commercial actors.

I’m not sure how somehow it’s dangerous to transfer data to China is bad, but transferring it to a random data broker who resells to anyone (including China) is ok.

Of course using data to jail and execute people is way worse than to manipulate them for profit, but I hope this is a step in the right direction.

I'm not talking about computers specifically. But as an HDMI replacement everywhere. It shouldn't be more expensive, I'm not saying having an additional port, but replacing one of the 4+ HDMI ports with a DP. I think it's cheaper in fact because it has no royalties. That's why GPUs pushed heavily for DP I believe. Nowadays GPUs usually come with 3 DPs and 1 HDMI.

Just throw one and if the ecosystem grows (like it did on PCs) then you keep replacing HDMI ports with DP ports.
I hadn't reasoned my way to this exact mechanism, but I need to reflect on this. You're right that they seem to have no pain response to their own work. Unfortunately, I don't have a theory of mind for this because I feel like my own work leaves me in agony about 50% of the time.

Does it end up better or worse in practice than the pure computational approach? A system with the same faults as the system it replaces could still be an improvement if they occur less often.
I wrote an ECS in (Android's version of) Java that does just this for game entity components. Each component type has a big array associated with it; plus there's a big bit array of used/free flags for entities. The EID (entity ID) serves as an index into the arrays of its various components.
You say that, but I can look at actual costs spent by my company over the last two years and it’s mostly in ECS/EC2 and RDS.

Even the way the profiles got introduced, I must think it was a joke on us.

Instead of dealing with specific API settings, like in proprietary APIs, there is the expectation to generate JSON configurations, parse them, generate code calling the profile API to configure the desired profile.

Oh, where did he say this?

IIRC, he always said that any OA model for ACM requires careful thinking about a sustainable business model.

In 2009 he argued [1]:

> "Indeed, the idea of unfettered access to scientific knowledge naturally resonates with many researchers, including me. So why doesn’t ACM become an open-access publisher? [...] ACM operates as a democratic association. If you believe that ACM should change its publishing business model, then you should lobby for this position.
[...]
The second issue is the business model of association publishing, for example, "reader pays" vs. "authors pays."
This is a legitimate topic of discussion, as long as we understand that it cannot be separated from the overall business model of the association. Just remember, "free" is not a sound business model."

In 2018 he wrote [2]:

> "If we are serious about open access, then we must discuss its underlying business model. Let’s get serious about open access!"

Why? At first glance, I did not find anything that could justify your assessment.
If you have a codebase with lots and lots of tests, you are not in a bad place. Remember legacy means a codebase that works and solved and still solves problems over decades. In a sense,a successfull software project implies it will be marked as legacy.
Always prefer legacy over Hype.
I think so too, the problem is the reigning narrative right now is arbitrary redistribution of wealth because "capitalism has caused all ills in the world" - which isn't driven by sensible people like you or the parent poster, but degrowth extremists
It's more: does it distract from the story. Did the Arabic bring anything specific to the story? Did the plot change with removal? Does it influence anyone's motivation or story? Not really, so unless you want to double down for pure shock value - removing it makes sense. That's being practical about where the value of that book lies, but coddling.

Quick test: if the original didn't include them, would you notice and say "this story really lacks Arabic words to be great"? If not, it wasn't ever necessary.
Hey, amazing front-end content and I'm so happy that there are people trying to extend the knowledge of everyone with such attention to details.

Regarding the use of the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) for ML tasks: yes, it is closed source for direct access. However, reports indicate that it supports only forward propagation (without backward propagation) and offers a relatively limited set of supported precisions [1]. Should the API ever be opened, the ANE's primary use case would likely shift towards inference rather than training.

George Hotz made pretty good progress with the ANE access ca 3 years ago at one of his videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAyw7OAcXDE

Yes, that is true. Suburbia and cars make it cheaper for people to live in the short-term, but it then leads to even more dependence on mass industry that they are slaving away to keep afloat, while their hard-earned money is taken away in part by taxes to provide subsidies to hide the true unsustainability of it all.

"However, I also hope that we ask the question, how can we make our society better such that we have to drive less and use less energy?"

By radically lowering speed limits [1] and slowly rebuilding our infrastructure to reflect that. It will take a long time, it took 100 years to build infrastructure that assumed a person could cross 15 miles of suburbia in as many minutes.

[1] I do mean radical; cars shouldnt be able to go faster than 30 mph. For folks with a need for speed (myself incld.), perhaps will exempt motorbikes
Hard disagree. More energy is the way to grow our society and lift everyone up. If it’s renewable or nuclear I see no good reason we’d want to reduce.
I think personally, at ~$2.5-$3M and at least 1 paid off house, the diminishing returns really start to kick in.

At $5M level you are pretty much all set, and at $10M and up - unless you are a consumption freak, you are really talking about generational wealth - i.e. money that will likely get passed down to your kids unless you try to find ridiculous ways to spend it.

This all assumes your goal in life isn't keeping up with the Jones's - if you fall into that trap, no amount of money will ever be enough.

I find it funny at times to think about if Larry Ellison is jealous of Zuckerberg's money, and Zuckerberg is jealous of Bezo's money, and Bezo's is jealous of Musk's money and Musk possibly being jealous of Bernard Arnault's.

If that is your personality - then you will never be happy.
