I'm curious what this guarantee includes - the bytecode? Because the actual in-kernel eBPF API is famously unstable, with eBPF-based applications usually requiring a cutting-edge kernel version (for industry anyway). And of course the eBPF programs themselves rely on accessing structures for which no stability guarantees are made whatsoever.
To me this movie showed how Oppenheimer's protests against nuclear proliferation was hushed by the powers of the time, leaving him to be remembered in history as the architect of the most fearsome weapon imaginable, not a brilliant scientist full of regret, becoming anti-proliferation but blackmailed into silence due to earlier communist ties.

I was also fascinated to learn that the fear of Germany getting the bomb first was what drove him and so many others to create the worst thing humans have ever created and used.

As a non-american, none of this was common knowledge and I welcomed the history lesson, I always wondered why such a brilliant physicist and intelligent person would want to destroy the world but never thought to find a book on the topic (I've since added American Prometheus to my read list). It is shameful he was not allowed a public platform to denounce nuclear arms as strongly as he felt.

It is really pleasant to remove things you care about from the idiotic and capricious control of the sort of people who aren't interested in making a good and sustainable business. Mastodon is annoying in many ways, but at least I don't have to worry about a lunatic buying it, or the founders selling it to Google and then Google turning it down once the acquisition clear. Using a WebDAV share is kind of annoying compared to Dropbox, but the IETF and whatever web browser I pick isn't going to try to train LLMs on my data or upsell me on Exclusive Business Features. Facebook can't buy my static photo hosting subdirectory and then mine my contacts to sell ads.

I love me some wild speculation, but it seems more likely that SpaceX needed a more capable jet to ferry large, critical parts from Hawthorne to Brownsville. Otherwise they'd need to go on a trailer.

Now for my own wild speculation: SpaceX has shown renders of using Starship to do point to point passenger travel. And Elon appears to fixate on goals like that. My impression is that he would view reverse-engineering a passenger plane as a distraction for the company.

They enable a bunch of niches (some of which do have a large impact), as opposed to having a few high-volume uses. Basically anything where you really need an ASIC but you don't have the volume to justify an ASIC (and also have the requires large margins for such a product to be viable). Custom RF protocols, the ASIC development process itself, super-low-latency but complex control loops in big motor drives, that kind of thing. You'll almost never see them in consumer products (outside of maybe some super-tiny ones which aren't useful for compute but just do 'glue logic') because they're so expensive.

Are we really? Then why all these Boeing fails? They are quite regulated and that's supposed to prevent them but regulatory failures abound.

I'd much rather have a strong free market where competition is keeping companies honest and on their toes. But one of the effects of regulation is reducing competition (through raising the barrier of entry).

Thus regulation becomes even more necessary to replace the lost competition... A self-fulfilling prophecy if you want.

>the aim is to define the shape that will enable the Next Generation Fighter (NGF) to be as maneuverable as possible.”

I really don't understand why they are doing this. What we have seen so far from the F-35 program in tests against more maneuverable fighters is that supermaneuverability means nothing if your enemy can shoot you down before you ever engage them. Sure, if you can get them into a dogfight you will have the edge. But modern air combat has been moving away from this idea for a long time now. That's why the F-35B and C don't even carry a permanent internal gun anymore. If they end up in an air-to-air situation where they would need them, they'd have lost already.

People take "Full" as meaning L5, but Tesla uses "full" as in ODD (Operational Design Domain). It can go anywhere, city streets, highways, parking lots, unmarked roads. In that sense it is indeed "full". This is clear when you look at the history of Tesla autonomy products, first there was Autopilot, which is only for highways. Then they release Full Self Driving Beta, which includes every type of driving.
Tech innovation doesn't really happen through grand planning and "focus on the foundational principles of growth." It happens through lots of people trying to make stuff.

Many people think about the diretion this is going but tend to get dismissed as singularuty cranks if they think far enough ahead.
I had a tangential insight recently. Your "best" isn't actually all you can do, because your idea of what your best is, is limited by your self-concept. Similarly, it is possible to do some things that are widely considered impossible.

From this it seems that the best strategy for doing impossible things is to assume that impossible things are actually possible. It's only by doing that that you'll find out.

It's a risky strategy though, since many things are actually impossible, and even for possible things, they may be difficult, or the easy way may be hard to discover.

Maybe there's some hueristic for sorting the actually possible, and from there, for sorting the reasonably doable.

But I'd be wary of hueristics because (barring unusual personal experience) they're likely to suffer from the same bias that led people to dismiss things as impossible in the first place.
> And if its pseudo-random then it is predictable, and if its predictable then we can exploit that to great effect

This is an interesting hack. However, an IOP is an IOP, no matter how good you predicted it and prefetch it so that you hide the latency it's going to be translated to a GetObject.

I think what you really exploited here is that even though S3 is built on HDDs (and have very low IOPS per TiB) their scale is so large that even if you milk 1M+ IOPS out of it AWS still doesn't care and is happy to serve you. But if my back-of-envelope calculation is correct this isn't going to work well if everyone starts to do it.

How do you get around S3's 5.5k GET per second per prefix limit? If I only have ~200 20GiB files can you still get decent IOPS out of it?

and...

> IOPS is a really lazy benchmark that we believe can greatly diverge from most real life workloads

No, it's not. I have a workload training a DL model on time series data which demands 600k 8KiB IOPS per compute instance. None of the thing I tested work well. Had to build a custom one with bare metal NVMe-s.

Criminals tend to think that everybody else is a criminal too, and get offended when caught because they feel singled out. But it's not true, it's just a coping mechanism they adopt to excuse themselves.

It's amazing how pervasive this mentality is. The premise of buying something for one amount of money, processing it and then selling it for more is totally alien to people in this mode of thinking. In their mind, a man could not possibly make money by buying uncooked hotdogs, cooking them and selling them for more. No, he must be stealing the hotdogs, or using fake hotdogs, or stealing the wages of his employees, or some other scheme. Anything other than simple honest business, which they feel sure cannot exist.

Unfortunately you seem to be thinking in this mode, since evidently you believe that criminal activity is the only way somebody could get through medical school.

This is an interesting question.

As an NLP researcher who is in contact with companies that demand NLP applications, I think we are not there yet. For example, a company that wants to extract information from medical records cannot use solutions like GPT-4 or Claude that involve sending protected data to third parties in foreign jurisdictions. Modest local models (like 7B models) don't work so well for things like named entity extraction yet. And furthermore, companies typically want some explanation and accountability for the results (especially in sensitive domains...) and sure, LLMs can explain, but you have no guarantee that the explanation isn't hallucinated. When I mention the possibility of hallucinations, companies typically balk and say that they prefer the classic way.

My (potentially biased) opinion is that classic NLP still has life left in it. For how long, I don't know. If small, locally-runnable LLMs get much better and more reliable, addressing the hallucination problems, what you mention might become largely true for most engineering applications.

Also note that beyond engineering, things like syntactic parsing are also useful for scientific pursuits too, and at the moment they seem to be out of reach of LLMs.

The same applies to the compression space. You look at LZ4 benchmarks decompressing at 4GB/s, only to realize that in the real world, you're not decompressing a _single_ hot block in a loop, but rather a whole file consisting of thousands of small blocks. Fetching, iterating and processing these blocks shave half the decompression speed and you end up with 1.5GB/s.

So you're saying that Paul Graham is trying? :)

From that same Wiki definition I notice that "In English, essay first
meant a trial or an attempt.

That implies an iteration on some seed, or maybe just the intent to
grow and iterate on the initial essay.

Personally I find that true. Most of my "essays" I keep for myself, or
sometimes share just with close friends who I trust to bounce ideas
off as they mature.

Later they become collections of essays in a folder, and I might join
the dots between them to perhaps see the potential for something of a
book, or a new essay that synthesises them.

So I think calling something an "essay" grants the author one special
privilege; the right to revise and "re-attempt" the same piece without
moral judgement.

That's problematic in the Internet age, where the provenance of a
document is judged by dates, by diffs to archived versions etc. It
wouldn't seem right to actually change the contents at the same URL.

Nor would it seem right to insist on tracking edits, because a writer
always has the right to forget and disown old and weak ideas they've
moved beyond.

So I think essayists have our permission to keep approaching the same
idea over and over. The way composers would sometimes write ten
different versions of the same piece.

What makes a "best" essay then is its improvement with respect to the
author's previous attempts.

All we can ask is, "Is this Mr Graham's best essay so far?"

Ask HN: Show all content of a file based on commit history over time?
I keep coming back to this because I wonder if there really isn't an internal git command for this.

Studying code changes in a repository, for single files, I have yet to see a tool that can give me the history of a file from when it was initially commited to its current state.

The reason is context and changes over time. Sometimes things change in files that is interesting over time. You might want to see how the file looked 4 commits ago but still want to compare it to how it changed from there until today.

I have build a small tool for myself which can show the full contents in a linear path, but I have only done so because I was unaware of any tools that did that.

So before I continue on my work I wanted to ask (again) whether or not there is such a tool that can present me with the full content of a file and compare it to what has happened to that file over time.

My own small tool is here, so you can see what I am trying to accomplish.

10 x 10 = 100 and 14 x 14 = 196. So in order to double the transistors we only need to shrink by 70% each time.

So I wonder if the emphasis on exponentials is misleading. A geometric decrease in feature size is sufficient, there were lots of atoms to work with while making wires ever smaller, and up till 2010 or so the regime of Dennard scaling gave shrinking transistors the very nice property of not affecting power consumption.

I know the article goes into more complex techno-economic reasons (and I guess that is what you are really discussing as well), but most IEEE papers cite Dennard scaling as a critical enabling driver. The end of Dennard is what made the IDRS roadmap identify an "end" to Moore's law.
