I had AT&T Fiber installed last year, for me at least it was still two separate boxes.

But you have me curious now to see if I can get it as a single piece of equipment. Especially since I have my ONT installed inside the house (which is less common as you indicate).
Are you implying that people are not, in fact, IPs?

I sometimes think there is a hidden language these papers use. To what end is not clear.
That "modem" is usually just called a router or residential gateway, as it is just plain Ethernet, WLAN tied together with some low cost SoC running Linux, in other words just like any other Wifi router you can pick up at a big box store. In AT&T's case, the keys were a cinch to pull from the device and you can run openwrt or pfsense or whatever on your own hardware, you don't even need to use it. Calling it a modem confuses the issue.
Yes, my bad, thanks. Don't think I can change it now, though.
Sure, the input feed is not the problem. The problem is actually separating it. The technology used for the H-bombs is no longer acceptable due to mercury pollution. World Li isotope separation capacity currently is in kilograms per year (to produce pure Li-7 for pH control in fission reactors.)

And then there's the beryllium. A single one of those ARC reactors would use something like 40% of the current world annual beryllium production.

I looked through the entire article, but couldn't find out why there would be a helicopter or boats this time. Searching for the ceremony on Google News didn't yield any results either.

Would anyone know why?
Good point, I did not mention that. Non-registered investment advisors are also included but this relates more to banks, bank holdings and broker/dealers (e.g. investment banks) who trade on 'investment discretion'[1]. Thus it means entities that are not registered as an investment advisor but still invest on behalf of outside clients and not their own book. This does clearly not apply to Nvidia. It is highly unlikely and not logical that they would manage money for third parties in the name of the public corporate entity, just for a pure side hustle. As that would not contribute much financially (in terms of fees that are earned from managing money on behalf of others) nor to their core business.

The reason for this 13F filing, as you already guessed to some extent, is that Nvidia is a publicly traded company. As such it is subject to a wide range of SEC filings including those from section 13[2].

Nvidia seems to be a rare case. Acquiring public equity, as a company - especially as a public one, just for the purpose of managing concurrent assets, is very unusual but not out of the question - just away from the textbook. Given the fact that its ARM, whose acquisition failed before Nvidia filed the 13F, it could also serve some other purpose, e.g. showing that interest is still present.

Efficacy has more to do with the specific situation than the tools you use. Rather, it is versatility of a tool that allows someone to take advantage of the situation.

What makes abstractions more versatile has more to do with its composability and expressiveness of those compositions.

An abstraction that attempts to (apparently) reduce complexity without also being composable, is overall less versatile. Usually, something that does one thing well, is designed to also be as simple as possible. Otherwise you are increasing the overall complexity (and reducing reliability or making it fragile instead of anti-fragile) for very little gain.
A good fibre ISP will have a separate ONT and router, so you can still pick your own router.

The ONT should be considered part of the ISPs network and not tampered with or replaced. Fibre with an ONT (PON) is a shared medium with other customers, and trying to use your own equipment has the possibility of degrading service for other customers.

Do any of these principles apply to liquid nitrogen applications?

The article outlines a plate design that incorporates steel/REBCO windings and cooling channels for liquid helium that seems to be modular and easily serviced.

REBCO is actually listed as a high-Tc material in the wiki below, but requires liquid helium.

If this were reworked into a liquid nitrogen design, could it reach 20 Tesla?

If I bought a laptop today, I’d probably buy a barebones laptop from Eluktronics and put Linux on it.

I don’t think I can trust Microsoft to not turn Windows into a subscription service in the next few years.
I'm in Poland. When I had fiber installed I asked the provider if they could install an ONT. They balked a bit but eventually relented. They provided their own ONT at no extra cost. Orange is the provider, in case anyone is interested.

It's up to the discretion of the installer. I think being able to speak in technical terms and provide a decent argument convinced the installer. I got a feeling that they don't generally do it because for most people, the Orange FunBox is a good enough solution.
Large parts of the walls of Babylon were reconstructed by Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government. I can never decide what I think about this. I think they also did a ziggurat and reconstructed it wrong, which is annoying. OTOH it's all nice to look at. It's also kind of misleading though because people don't realise it's reconstructions and possibly inaccurate. (And there are bricks here and there with messages on about how Saddam is the second coming of Nebuchadnezzar, but that's a detail.)

I couldn't get it to work on my mac (M1 Max).

- A short recording saves a file of zero bytes.

- When you record a gaming session (Geforce Now), it crashes the system, causing a reboot. I realize it may not have been meant for it, but it shouldn't be crashing the entire system.

But it would certainly be cool to have a simpler alternative to OBS for recording programming sessions. Does anyone know of a suitable tool?
> and even reporting it after graduating can cause a career setback by giving up the recommendation letter.

Recommendation letters should be dropped as selection means. Leads to extreme subjectivity, unaccountability, and opens the door to abuse.
Why is this news again now? It was exactly the same design limitation from the M1 generation. It's not a bug, it's a known limitation of the design feature(fanless operation).

Modders would work around this by putting thermal pads in between the heatsink and the back cover to transfer the heat to the aluminum under-chassis increasing the surface area and thermal mass and getting "free" performance capable of reaching the more expensive Pro models during extensive workloads like rendering.

Provided of course you never want to have the laptop on your lap ever again after that, but if you're someone like me who always uses their laptop on fixed surfaces like beds and tables and never on body parts, and you really really need that extra bit of performance, then it should be fine.
The lab my wife worked in, 20+ years ago, still had a mahogany chest of "bones" to calculate Fourier transforms, by hand. Once you had phases, you'd plot density on transparent cels, and put them in a stack.
That. Plus the fact that everyone (Russia included) gave Ukraine security guarantees when in the 90s we convinced them to give their nuclear missiles to the country that had occupied them just before.

At the time everyone was very nervous about proliferation of nuclear weapons and it seemed a sensible promise. But when push comes to shove it seems more complicated.
This is a really good idea. Sort of like custom Silicon, but making an application specific LLM.

Perhaps such a custom LLM will be available on HF, Ollama, etc. before long?
Right, it would be simpler to just say “I flip a coin and keep it in my hand, and you guess heads or tails, but before I open my hand I ask if you want to change your answer.”

It’s the exact same probability but with less extraneous factors that can confuse people. It also makes it plainly obvious that switching makes no difference to your likelihood, and takes away any interpretation of “why” people don’t switch in the first experiment: because it doesn’t make any difference so what’s the point?
You can extract the certificate from the bgw210 and put it on a third party router. Then you don’t need the ATT modem at all. I did that last summer using this: https://github.com/mozzarellathicc/attcerts
There aren't even any poor security practices. It's just security theatre and the DOC is overreacting.
I think technically you can. Although it's just moving the question to "why is the chaos distributed like that?".

Current explanation for existence of galaxies is those are quantum fluctuations that grew large. So apparently fluctuations can explain everything if you do enough of hand waving in between. I don't think any particular quality of galaxies as we see them today can be traced to specific quantum property. But that doesn't stop us from believing in that explanation.
Yes the inference loop provides a list of “logits” every loop which are possible predictions for the next token. LLM parameters like temperature and top_p configure the default logic that selects one of those logits but that logic can be replaced with anything you want. It just has to select the next token and feed it back into inference.

Llama.cpp and its downstream users like ollama have long supported using BNF grammars to constrain the output that way.

Read Deep Learning with Python [1]. It's ok not to understand everything, but doing the labs will be invaluable.

That book should set you up with the fundamentals. Pytorch is the defacto standard right now for training; during deployment you will use whatever your deployment setup allows (e.g. embedded devices typically have their own inference frameworks).

Python is the lingua franca for anything in machine learning, but other languages are used where necessary for performance or for ecosystem benefits.

In the beginning there was Usenet. It was a wonderful microcosmos of technical expertise and niche hobbies. Then 1993 came and the constant flood of new users overwhelmed the culture and ability to enforce norms [1]. Truthfully, it didn't begin with Usenet. It's the old dilemma of universal access and freedom versus mutual coercion, mutually agreed upon. Even before that, Aristotle wrote "That which is common to the greatest number gets the least amount of care. Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common." Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

> I don't trust my ISP to handle my personal information with discretion

I'll start off by saying I'm not a fan of being forced to use their gateway. It's essentially just superfluous equipment in my network closet and another point of failure in the chain. I'd rather just be able to reliably patch directly in, but such is life.

That said, there's no loss of privacy with the gateway in bridge mode and me patching directly in. In the end they see whatever I expose on my router and they see all my packets. There's no functional difference privacy-wise here, unless they've got microphones or something on the gateway. Maybe they're sniffing wifi, but so can a car driving by.

FWIW, AT&T does this because AT&T does what AT&T does. They were doing it back in the day with their DSL service as well. There's a little more compatibility challenges when it comes to PONs versus DOCSIS modems, but theoretically one could buy an ONT and have it participate on the network. The actual ONT is just a media converter though, and without AT&T's gateway to auth you properly you're not going to be able to send any traffic.

As mentioned elsewhere though, I've been using AT&T's service for a long time. I've never had a modem rental line item in my bill.
Cheap Cloud.

I expected the cost of compute from major cloud providers to be a race to $0.

Never happened.

Compute from major cloud providers is still extremely expensive.

You only get those savings from ‘smaller’ cloud providers, like Hetner/OVH/etc - where it’s hard to even purchase a server, rack it and host it for the same cost they can. (Which is what I expected would happen with the majors)
Yep, the noise is serious. I may not even seem that bad at first, but if you are going to hear it prolonged, it starts to get really unbearable after a 20 minutes of it. I don't know anybody who isn't irritable after a couple hours.

And the heat is enough to make a room very uncomfortable. I started my home lab in my office, and it didn't take long to realize that was not an option. Luckily I was able to find a nook under the stairs where I could stash it, but the heat and noise are polar opposite of a productive office environment.
This made me remember something I saw:

```
The Ise Jingu grand shrine in Mie Prefecture, Japan, is rebuilt every 20 years as part of a tradition that has been practiced for around 1,300 years, with some records indicating it could be up to 2,000 years old. This practice is known as Shikinen Sengū, which involves the complete dismantling and reconstruction of the shrine's wooden structures.

The purpose of this tradition is not only to preserve the original architect's design against the eroding effects of time but also to maintain a strong sense of divine prestige and to pass building techniques from one generation to the next. The rebuilding process is a significant national event, symbolizing the eternal nature of sanctuaries and the importance of cultural continuity. It is a testament to the enduring value of traditional Japanese artisan skills and the cyclical renewal of sacred spaces. The entire reconstruction process takes approximately 17 years.

The wood from the dismantled shrine buildings is recycled and used to construct new Torii gates at the shrine's entrance. Additionally, this wood is distributed for use in other shrines across Japan.

Attribution rules mean you're still likely to need listing your former advisor as co-author, unless you completely scrap your work and pivots to something completely different. So I wouldn't count that as a total loss.
Does it? Is the performance per watt of the M3 SoC worse than the performance per watt of the M2? Is the average and peak performance of the M3 MacBook Air worse than that of the M2 MacBook Air? If not, how is this a step backward?
You’re doing your own hand waving. Why does a computer in Venezuela make the trail go cold? I could have an agent working for me passing me customer lists from Venezuelian colo facilities. Combine that with knowledge of known shell entities who also operate from other points of presence and I can make inferences. If I want I could then use offensive techniques to own the middle box and enhance my confidence level by observing traffic/stored data on that machine.

Look I can’t summarize how threat actor attribution works in a hacker news comment. Does that mean the people who do it are quacks? Nope. I know people who do it, who build tools to help, and they are exceptionally sharp technical minds.

And I see you have casually dismissed an entire industry because you may not understand how someone could draw conclusions from imperfect data?

Hate to say it but this happens all day every day as human existence is filled with imperfect data. Not everything can be summarized in a neat mathematical form.

Does that mean you don’t try? I choose to try my best and continually improve methods. Otherwise what’s the point? Just give up because we can’t model human behavior and geopolitics as a pure functional state machine?
What an utterly disappointing article. 33% Slower, after how long? At start? After it fully throttles? The 2 bar graph showing difference is first run? n-th run? How long is the run? You can mod with thermal pads to keep it running at full speed much longer, but how much longer?

Waste of bytes
In a DOCSIS network the coax is a shared medium with other customers and at least in the US you largely could bring your own modem, within approved device lists.

The idea of an electric vehicle is brilliant. I'd love a fully electric van, being able to tap into a 100-200kWh battery would be a game changer for camping.

For me though, EVs just aren't actually better yet.

Tesla came close but long term their reliability and vendor lock-in issues mean that they're never going to work like a 10-20 year old Civic, Corolla, Transit etc which ruins the value proposition.

I have no doubt that they'll get there, but they have to be a strict improvement on a 30 year old ICE car first.

(building more units is trivial scaling).

What I mean is that there is no return to scale benefits per unit that would bring down the cost per unit. Wave size and wavelength puts limit to energy that can be extracted from single unit. Material costs, including the copper for power lines _per_unit_ determine the price. Unless you can ramp up the energy per unit massively, the concept is not competitive with wind power.
Wind turbines at sea can do 10-15 MW per unit today and 22MW turbines are coming.

If you want to prove me wrong, show us cost per megawatt calculations.

For wind turbines the cost is roughly US$1.3 million per megawatt (MW) and maintenance is 1-2 cents per kilowatt-hour produced.
Hetzner is the best.

(a) Please bring dedicated servers to US.

Especially your AX102 line.

(b) Centralled located in the US, like St Louis.

Those two things are what’s blocking me from using Hetzner for my US operations.

They took them away to give them security updates. Non-story.
The ONT's job is to translate from (typically) Ethernet to the optical fibre, and nothing else. In networking terms its "Level 1"; concerned only with moving bits from one end to the other. Most ISPs will provide an ONT which does that and nothing else, and then a regular router/firewall that plugs in to the ONT via Ethernet.

Your security barrier is the firewall in the router, plus whatever encryption you apply to comms outside it. As long as you get that right your ISP can't see what you are doing apart from the to/from addresses on your packets (which can't be hidden, obviously).

ISPs generally push their own managed router/firewall at you because that way when something isn't working you don't wind up with arguments about who's fault it is, and the ISP can troubleshoot your router. But in my experience they have no problem with you unplugging their device and plugging your own in instead.

I haven't seen an ISP which does the ONT and the router in a single box. Its theoretically possible, but would be a bad idea for several reasons. One is security, as you say. Another is that the fibre can't be extended with more wire, unlike a copper phone line. So the ONT tends to be a small wall-mounted box with an Ethernet jack in it. That way your Wifi access point isn't stuck low down next to your front door or something.
If the app doesn’t support that itself, you should be able to do it using an Automator script that runs at startup.

Agree. Hard to abstract away a 3-4 orders of magnitude latency difference. However, even the most obvious /absurd / ugly shell out to curl and hand parse results like code, is going to get wrapped in a normal looking function. Maybe the solution is naming or tooling where: 1) it is easy for a developer to see if a network call exists anywhere in the stack and 2) it isn't possible to introduce a network call into an existing function without breaking contract. This could be as simple as a viral naming convention ("_rpc" suffix for example).
