I've just spent the morning uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of Nvidia driver (Linux) to get nvcc back for llama.cpp after Linux Mint did an update - I had CUDA 12.3 and 12.4 (5GB each), in conflict, with no guidance. 550 was the charm, not 535 that was fine in January.
This is the third time I'm going this since December.
It is painful.
I'm not in a hurry to return to my cuDF experiments as I'm pretty sure that'll be broken too (as it has been in the past).
I'm the co author of O'Reilly's High Performance Python book and this experience mirrors what I was having with pyCUDA a decade back.

Government will keep BDS alive, in any case, and probably some part of BGS. I would not be surprised to see a Boeing breakup, a la GE. Keep a very watchful eye on whoever might scoop up BCA in such an event. I suspect Comac might try for it, but with a third party so as to not rouse the natives - maybe Embraer but with Chinese money.

More likely private capital, though, or some Hyperillionaire from Seatopia.

While running through the Spreewald, my troops also enjoy oral readings of such classics as "Libertarian Aryan Rocketmen will Save the West from the Red Horde".
I don't disagree that the way TikTok is operated is problematic for the US. But will making TikTok a US corporation prevent any of the problems? Couldn't the company still legally send private information to "partners" which indirectly makes it's way to the CCP? And couldn't it still freely choose to moderate and promote posts according the priorities and values of the company? Being staffed by a large number of CCP-friendly employees, those will reflect CCP policies. For this to have any impact we need privacy laws to restrict this US company anyway.

It still seems like security theater to me, which is particularly unfortunate because it is a real security threat.
I couldn't do it.

1. I appreciate having instant feedback if I've mistyped the number of closing quotes, brackets, or parenthesis. If everything below line 100 is displayed in the color for strings, I know what mistake I made there.

2. The color is visually appealing to me. I stare at my screen for 8+ hours a day, or more if I'm working on a hobby project. I like it to look pretty. It makes reading code more enjoyable for me.
> You could say the same thing about many human beings.

Humans are, by the mere definition of the word, “intelligent”. AI are doing a simulation of that intelligence, the same way a weather model is a simulation of the weather whereas the actual weather isn't a simulation of anything. That doesn't make weather models useless, far from that, but if you trust them blindly when hiking in the mountains, you may end up in a bad place.

> Why not simply use an IQ test?

IQ tests are very limited measurements of what intelligence actually is. Using a thermometer isn't a good way to access the trustfulness of a weather model.
1. Don't have enough cash to buy stuff

2. Don't have enough capacity to eat stuff quickly (single people, small families)

3. Don't have ability to preserve stuff (don't have a full kitchen, maybe not even a refrigerator, maybe live in their car, etc)

4. Don't have the ability to get anywhere else

5. Not everyone "poor" is stupid - some people just want to buy Velveeta Cheese and pay a lot for it, for whatever reason, instead of whatever Aldi is selling.

etc...

I'm growing tired of this idea that everyone "poor" is dumb. The median "poor" person isn't much less intelligent than the median middle class person (and probably upper class for that matter, too).
hey this is awesome. I'm using it and I think it's got some wheels. But please add a quick link to submit feedback in app!
Here's what I got so far:
- specific issue: I updated the triage text before submitting to the planning stage. Although the triage text maintained my edits I'm pretty sure the prompt that went into the first Plan generation did not include my edits.
- rough idea: Plans are long and take awhile to regenerate. There's fear of submitting for a regeneration when all you want is it to understand something different about the high level thoughts. Maybe keeping a history of plans or even diffing them could be useful.

Both items above coalesce into a desire to 'rewind' back to the top of the process and try to get the context understood at the beginning, and have that clearly reflected to the user so that as you move through to details it gets easier to handle the nitty gritty without as much editing.
that looks so neat! I'm building a modern cross-platform app and aiming for a similar look-and-feel so I'm curious what your stack looks like, especially the UI (it's not a note-taking app but more like spreadsheets and presentations, so I promise I'm not a competitor!)
> Information doesn't have autonomy so needs to be created, it can have time value, it certainly has relevance value, or entertainment value, has quality value (signal > noise);

The point is that information per se is non-rival and non-scarce, so the normal drivers of market exchange don't apply to it. Since we want to incentivize the creation of information, we have created positive law that generates artificial scarcity, and allows market forces to work mostly as they would for physical goods, but this is just a stopgap solution due to the difficulty of commoditizing the downstream uses of information.

To echo another commenter in this thread, if we were better at commoditizing and marketing the uses of information directly, rather than the information itself, we wouldn't need to use artificial scarcity as a proxy to generate that incentive.

> all these things require effort to produce, maintain, curate, distribute.

But these inputs are not the determinant of the value of the end product. They only describe the process of creating it, but value is determined by the subjective utility enjoyed by the end consumer.

If you view time and effort necessary to create and distribute information as a capital expenditure on par with the time and effort necessary to design and manufacture any physical good, perhaps things come into clearer relief. Is anyone entitled to a guaranteed return on capital investments, or are they bearing risk in making them in pursuit of a potential, but uncertain, return? I think most people would hold the latter view.

> Leaving the practical constraints behind, I also struggle to see moral or ethical reasons for information to be free.

I'm not sure I see where moral or ethical considerations even come into the discussion. The closest moral consideration that applies to the question is the way it affects property rights, but in that regard, it seems that it's the artificial scarcity in information that seems to lack sufficient moral justification.

There are no natural property rights in information itself, due to its conceptual and non-rival nature, and the attempt to take the norms of ownership associated with natural property and apply them to information actually constitutes an abridgment of natural property rights: functionally, 'intellectual property' amounts to a restriction on what patterns other people may arrange their own physical materials into, based on fallaciously reifying the pattern itself into a putative concrete thing to which rivalry applies.
> . Never in computing history has a walled garden like Apple's existed until the iPhone.

How was playing that Super Mario Bros with on your Sega Master System back in the day? I don't remember Sega having the 10NES subsystem.

Ever heard of this little place in the early to mid 90s called AOL? Compuserve? Prodigy? Any cell phone company long before Apple's app store

And you act like anyone who has a Kindle or a Nook isn't in a walled garden, at least for 99% of the people who don't know/care that you can install books via Calibre or something.

And you know you can sideload apps on Apple devices right? Even before the EU ruling. It was just a massive pain in the ass and drumroll... 99% aren't going to do it.

This is not new, Apple wasn't the first to do it, and everybody railing again Apple loves to accept it in basically every other facet of their lives.

When the brazing torch is the tool you already have in your hand and is already lit, it's definitely the best tool to light your cigarette, too.
You've got to love the name: "Discovery", when it disappears purchases. I'm sure it's legal too.

What purported value is it going against? Allowing market access to countries that don't reciprocate is not one of our values. Nor is it one of China's. Or most countries, for that matter. When other countries erect tariffs, we usually respond on kind. And when we raise tariffs other countries - including close friends like Canada - they respond with their own tariffs against American imports too.

You've got it backwards: reciprocal trade agreements are the norm not just in US politics but across the world.
Zuckerberg tried damn hard to get his crap into China, he even asked the Chinese president Xi in person to name his unborn baby. He became quite "unfriendly" to China/CCP after all those efforts got him nothing in return.
If there's a risk of properly-formatted but nonetheless invalid dates, like 2024-03-34, one can do this: DATE(date_column, '+0 days') IS date_column). The '+0 days' causes 2024-03-34 to normalize to 2024-04-03 (this is part of the ISO standard!) and therefore the check fails.

Admittedly these sorts of tricks are obscure, if by 'obscure' we mean "you have to feed a search engine a string like 'Validate SQLite datetime' and read some sources". But to reiterate my point slightly differently, the verbosity of these CHECK constraints doesn't indicate that they're doing anything different from a "typed database".

Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT, which got the "well formed" version, when I pointed out it would accept 2023-03-34, it gave a correct explanation of what SQLite would do with that date, and suggested `CHECK(date_column = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', date_column))`, which is more satisfying than the other one, and has the same effect. Really gotta keep an eye on the chatbot.
I mean bin laden wasn't wrong that the US is responsible for much suffering in the middle east and elsewhere due to decades of meddling from funding extremists, to facilitating coups in the name of big business.

This isnt really a factor. The slope may change ground level a few feet actross the roots, but even then it would reduce height on the uphill side and increase it on the downhill side
> The obvious alternative to gradient descent here would be Bayes Formula

If you know a little about the math behind gradient descent you can see that an embedding layer followed by a softmax layer gives you exactly the best Bayes estimate. If you want a bit of structure, like every word depends on previous n words, you get a convolutional RNN which is also well studied. These ideas are natural and elegant but maybe a better idea is to comprehend the research already done to avoid diving into dead ends too much.
> What would be the net benefit of treating it like radioactive waste versus using it as a construction material?

Man, that was just a silly example to illustrate the absurdity of the situation. We are currently unearthing millions of years worth of sequestered carbon per year and dumping it all into the atmosphere. Talking about planting trees is ridiculous at this point. Like pumping water out of the sinking titanic with a champagne glass. If we don't want to increase the amount of carbon in the atmosphere we just need to stop putting it in!
Seems about right
Turbotax does everything I need.

I already don't want to give $180 to Intuit, why would I give $2000 to a CPA who is also helping propagate an industry that shouldn't have to exist?

However, if I could first do my own taxes, and then the CPA take a percentage cut of whatever tax they save me after that, instead of charging a flat fee, that would be nice.

>If China is unwilling to allow US companies to compete fairly in their digital ecosystem, why the hell should we continue to grant Chinese firms unrestricted access to our market?

Because we are (used to be?) a country that believes in democracy and the will of our citizens. If people want to download a Chinese app and watch straight up Chinese news and propaganda (not even close to what TikTok actually is), they should be allowed to do so. That's the entire idea of the First Amendment...

Does that put us at a disadvantage to countries who don't have the same rules? Maybe. But that ideal and that principle is valuable and means something and IS the entire bedrock of American influence over the greater world.

> Wow. That's a new low standard for journalism. Whatever happened to keeping opinions and news separate?

Part of why our societies are so fractured is because of the insistence to "separate" news and opinions. When journalists aren't pointing out how broken a system is in direct words and instead insist on reporting "both sides" no matter how fundamentally wrong one side is, the wide masses don't care.

> And no, modern Congress is not more corrupt than historical standards (which are extremely directly-buying-votes low), nor is reform unlikely.

"Corruption" doesn't only mean the ridiculous influence of money, it can also mean "a system that doesn't function as intended" - and the current US Congress is definitely at its historical low point at the moment, with the House GOP especially running on pure obstructionism. Shooting down their own Speaker for daring to cooperate with the government in passing a budget, and taking its sweet time to elect one twice is ridiculous.
Somewhat disputed as to whether this is a good idea, but there's definitely plans to expand non-plantation "natural" forest for the ecosystem benefits. Main problem is the deer.
TikTok is Douyin with a different coat of paint. They're near identical apps run by the same company, ByteDance. It's not banned in China, it just has a different name.
Maybe so, but the 6-axis machine appears to be sitting in the front window of a store on Newbury St. (which is Boston’s high-dollar shopping area).
Nonsense. If the shareholders prefer to take capital out instead of reinvesting in the business there's nothing wrong with that. And if businesses sometimes die as a consequence then so what. Individual businesses have no particular right to exist indefinitely.

The only reason that companies use stock buy backs instead of dividends to return capital to shareholders is double taxation. If Congress eliminated the double taxation then there would be little reason for stock buy backs.
The concern in the article seems to be such technologies can be dehumanizing... but we are literally talking about war here. Is shooting people with "robots" really any more dehumanizing than shooting them with missiles? Or even just guns? To me it seems like war is the dehumanizing factor.
> Why do we think parents are on their own when it comes to keeping their kids from porn but are more than happy to help them keep their kids from cigarettes/alcohol?

Because those are physical goods that require a point of sale.

Porn is available at a click’s notice, for free. You’ll never stop access to that, kids are much more clever than people give them credit for. So the logical step is to teach them how to manage that in a healthy way.

Like, you can lock down all home PCs, filter your router, apply parental controls to their mobile phone, and they’ll just have their buddies send them obfuscated porn, or sneakernet it to them.

So NFQUEUE is an nftables verdict that puts the packet into a numbered queue going to userspace. A userspace process gets packets from the queue, and at some later point issues a verdict on each packet, which can be drop or allow the packet to pass. You can also pcap-style ask to see just first N bytes of the packet, to decrease overhead.

Out of that, you can construct a userspace process that reads a packet from the queue, decrypts the noise initiation, requests configuration, adds wireguard config via netlink, and then releases the packet. And you can do that with multiple packets in flight concurrently.

It also allows things like fail-open if the userspace process is broken or overwhelmed, which would be useful here (already in-kernel wg peers would keep working), and spreading load over multiple workers.
