First reaction - congrats guys, this is a problem I have in my own business.

Second reaction - the pricing is way over the top and the model is unusual. In your own pitch you talk about the volume of documents created every day. How does that square with per document pricing?
100% agree, if I have access to the TPU team internally, it'll be very easy to use in production.

If you aren't internal, the documentation, support, and even just general bug fixing is impossible to get.
> the recommended method involves using Web USB in Chromium which is meant to be easier for non-technical people but I couldn't get it to work.

There's a bug on many Linux distributions which was fixed in fwupd but is still present because they haven't updated it to a recent version. It interferes with reconnecting to the device when it reboots into fastbootd mode as part of the install. We cover it in our install guides now. fwupd usually loses the race to connect to the device to the CLI install tool but wins the race against Chromium's implementation, which is why it impacts web install more. This is likely what you experienced before we documented this fwupd bug and got them to fix it upstream. The problem is that even though fwupd fixed it a while ago, Debian and even the latest Ubuntu still have the bug.
Not great but incomparable to the above poster.
Nothing about the title suggests piracy, and the screenshot doesn't show download links - hell, there aren't any actual Harry Potter books in a search for "Harry Potter".

Yes, evil people exist but the way jackMorgan speaks make it sound like he was told that there is huge number of people around the world conspiring to cause chaos and they are allies with a magical entity that is evil. Using this kind of explanations to make sense of malicious behaviour is not healthy
In my experience, SELinux is the sort of thing you avoid unless you're forced to use it, then when you are forced to use it, you're encouraged to stumble around until you get it out of your way, then forget about it until it gets in your way again.

Good documentation and good tools would encourage more people to use it and understand it willingly and effectively.
I think you're talking about the trade offs between supporting features like "DOM manipulation, state management, animation, etc." and "shipping updates" out of the box, versus only storing the data as simple files and leaving everything else to the implementation.

Sqlite as an application file format is great [1], but for a knowledge base / note taking app the benefits are not worth the tradeoffs in my opinion.

Sqlite is more performant more performant and provides lots of built-in features. However, most note taking users do not have enough notes or files to benefit from that performance. Sqlite will also lock the user into the application, whereas a "pack of files" can be used in the shell as a text editor. Using markdown files + a open json format has the benefit of being supported by multiple applications (e.g. sometimes i open my obsidian vault in vscode), while a sqlite database would need a proprietary schema coupled with a single application

I prefer an open file format that isn't tied to a vendor. A "data bridge" might handle syncing and diffing more efficiently than plain files, but it is still tied to the vendor. For example, I prefer not to pay for Obsidian Sync, and I'm able to use a git plugin and storing my files on nextcloud to sync between my devices. This leverages existing tech without having to implement features from the ground up

Suite hotels have all that except maybe the washing machine and are often pretty comparable in price to "regular" hotel rooms. Those tend to be my preference although I use the refrigerator more than the rest of the kitchen.
I think it’s a good thing that laws are being passed to make it mostly impossible for AirBnbs to be in residential areas and to make it easier for residents to find affordable houses instead of tourists

I've used Linux on and off as both daily driver, dual boot and in my homelab. I'm definitely not kidding myself when I say I feel that for me, Linux is far ahead. Nothing you wrote changes that, even though I don't really agree with it. I won't add a long list of why as others have already done that, but saying “agree with me or you are wrong” as you basically did is just.... yeah. You are wrong, and it is a bit strange you think you know better than me what is best for me just because you like Apple better.

> Low trust societies try to think through all the ways people are going to screw you over and try to stay one step ahead. Merchandise is all behind lock-and-key. Cameras/tech track every product through the store to make sure its paid for. Etc.

A lot of these retailers also replaced cashiers with self-checkout machines and reduced the number of staff in-store. Both of these moves seem to reflect a high trust society. I'm not sure a company could claim both "we're unable to trust the customers anymore" and "we're making it so people shop at our store without encountering a single employee".

Why did you "help" (in other words make a post/comment) that person on Reddit? Because you enjoy it, you enjoyed reading posts and comments by strangers, replying to them, and seeing your comments accumulate upvotes and other comments. Reddit gave you that experience for free.
The doors on the Tesla have a flap below the button to open the door. If you pull it backwards, it manually opens the door.

If I backed into a pond, I'd pull the flap and get out before the car sinks.

Substantial improvements. Thanks for sharing them.
Interesting, need to check that out. Is this available in the Go Standard library?
Yeah, I think topics should be separated from communities in future Reddit-like websites. I mean it's an indisputable fact that some article is about trains, and what's arguable is whether it needs to be discussed in that particular community.

In my mind it looks something like this:

1) user posts a link (and upvotes some initial topics)

2) other users vote on those topics, also can propose some additional ones

3) topic mods can superdownvote/remove some topics (in case of trolling etc.)

4) community mods select posts for their communities from available posts, possibly automatically (based on upvoted topics)
> The "Python ecosystem" includes packages like numpy, pytorch & derivatives which are responsible for a large chunk of HPC and research computing nowadays.

The "& derivatives" part is the problem! Torch does not have derivatives. It won. You just use it and its extensions, and you're done. That is what people use to do exciting stuff in Python.

It's the manic developers writing manic derivatives that make the Python ecosystem shitty. I mean I hate ragging on those guys, because they're really nice people who care a lot about X, but if only they could focus all their energy to work together! Python has like 20 ideas for accelerated computing. They all abruptly stopped mattering because of Torch. If the numba and numpy and scikit-learn and polars and pandas and... all those people, if they would focus on working on one package together, instead of reinventing the same thing over and over again - high level cross compilers or an HPC DSL or whatever, the ecosystem would be so much nicer and performance would be better.

This idea that it's a million little ideas incubating and flourishing, it's cheerful and aesthetically pleasing but it isn't the truth. CUDA has been around for a long time, and it was obviously the fastest per dollar & watt HPC approach throughout its whole lifetime, so most of those little flourishing ideas were DOA. They should have all focused on Torch from the beginning instead of getting caught up in little manic compiler projects. We have enough compilers and languages and DSLs. I don't want another DataFrame DSL!

I see this in new, influential Python projects made even now, in 2024. Library authors are always, constantly, reinventing the wheel because the development is driven by one person's manic energy more than anything else. Just go on GitHub and look how many packages are written by one person. GitHub & Git, PyPi are just not adequate ways to coordinate the energies of these manic developers on a single valuable task. They don't merge PRs, they stake out pleasing names on PyPi, and they complain relentlessly about other people's stuff. It's NIH syndrome on the 1m+ repository scale.
I can't underline enough how much this book impacted me. In ways that I'm fairly confident I do not understand. I certainly didn't understand the book when I was a kid, but it still stuck with me. I think it was my first real exposure to the trope of people being thoughtlessly callous to people on presumed worthiness.

I think that's a total misconception. I think the myth that "the brain stops developing at 25" was an apocryphal conclusion from a study where they simply stopped measuring past 25 and that either the same study or other studies found many brain faculties don't plateau, ever, even in advanced age. I also heard that it's highly variable from person to person how the brain develops, like some 8-year-olds had faster development in some regions than some 30-year-olds.

One thing's for sure though: we're still in the stone age of neurology.

Edit: the comment below refers to Gemini, not Gemma. As such the first paragraph is largely irrelevant, and only the second one applies.

To me, it feels as though the boat has been missed somewhat. The restrictions on Gemini make it unhelpful, but more than that, Claude 3 has really blown me away with its code suggestions. It's performing better than Mistral Large, GPT4 and Gemma in my tests, especially for large bits of code. It also returns the whole hog with changes, making it much easier to plug and play. Astonishingly, it also manages to combine ideas much better than any other LLM I've seen to date.

I suspect these fixes and the knowledge gained will be helpful to the community however, and will help improve the next iteration of models.
Colorado in general has some amazing architecture, including residential architecture. I saw a lot of this style when I was there: https://kellyandstonearchitects.com/portfolio/completed-port...
Shedskin has stricter typing, and about 10-100 times performance vs Cython.
Law tends to go by plain English meaning, ex. here, you understand that the idea isn't to ban people from interacting with Gemini, but rather, to stop them from using it to develop new models (i.e. using it's outputs as inputs for training another model)
Cost of energy is irrelevant - the difficulty adjustment compensates for it. Anyway, unwanted energy will always be close to free.

Sounds like those technical managers, and the developers who aren’t able to engage, are the wasteful ones. Design review is just highlighting organisation failures elsewhere.

I find the process to be very productive. Just the act of writing out a proposal (or multiple) I find very helpful for better understanding the problem and solutions.

Or maybe some visual diffing based on expected output, based on the template/layout/theme used, since you'd want to perform this check on every pdf generated in prod (that has real, sensitive data) , not just in CI or testing mode, if you're aiming for critical docs.

Cool project btw, congrats for the launch!
I think as well about people who created accelerator boards, and recreated the functions of the logic board at various levels of sophistication. There are (I think) 68030 upgrades to the original Macintosh Plus, for example, that add RAM way beyond the wildest dreams of any owner back then.

I think the greatest achievement here was was the Radius Rocket Stage II, which was essentially an entire logic board on a NuBus card that claimed to System 7 to be a Quadra 950, but was essentially a diskless, portless Mac that could
be run independently of the host system!
TPUs are tightly coupled to JAX and the XLA compiler. If your model is based on Pytorch you can use a bridge to export your model to StableHLO and then compile it to a TPU accelerator. In theory the XLA compiler should be more performant than the Pytorch Inductor.

I JUST finished a blog post draft about exactly this. Probably gonna publish it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so keep an eye on my blog [0].

Going back to your question, I'm exactly the same. 14 years of experience, never progressed to leadership. Got the same ghosting as you.

My advice would be: keep looking. Eventually, you will either find a company that will accept your experience, or you will find an a-typical company that doesn't care too much about titles (the latter happened to me).

Feel free to reach out (contacts are in the blog) if you want to discuss it further.

Termination Shock is an excellent book, I'd highly recommend it if you're interested in the genre of "climate fiction" as I am. It deals with the effects of extreme heat in Texas; the rising sea levels in the Netherlands; how unpredictable weather patterns could affect the bread basket of India and the people living there; and much more. Easily one of my favorite books of the last few years.
Does that give us more information about Gemma? The others are paywall'd best in class models with an order of magnitude higher parameter count.
As much a piece of work that the founder was, Something Awful may have had a point. One time low (IMO) cost for access to a forum. Doesn't even have to he 10bux. Even $1 as a cost of entry fixes so many problems plauging the modern internet. Almost eliminates spam (bots or otherwise), deters trolling unless someone wants to spend dozens of dollars on alts, filters out a lot of younger folk who at least need access to a credit card to participate (so less liability for adult content should you choose to host it), and it lessens or removes the need to appeal to engagement and ads and whatnot.

Of course, the huge downside is networking effects and you now in the 2020s have to compete against "free" services. It shouldn't be such a hump to overcome if you appeal to the right crowd, but you also need to somehow appeal to the power users who will ultimately get your site off the ground. And those are never easy to find.
The internet obviously isn't dying. It may be returning to the sphere of the nerds though, where there is an corporate, milquetoast internet for the plebes and a more open, decentralized network for us nerds.

I don't have experience with any of those, but I have used ShotCut [1], which is free an open-source. It works well enough on those rare occasions I've needed it (e.g. editing a video of my child playing an instrument for their class). If you're looking for "FOSS" and "easy to use" ShotCut might be worth looking at.

I had a lot of success on Dice about 6 months ago.
What holds me back is that "monetizing a side project" is another way of saying "running a small business", which is a form of having a job - but I already have a job, rather a nice one at that. Why would I waste my precious free time working a second, crappier job, when I could do things I enjoy instead?

If I am building something in my free time, it is because I am inherently interested in that thing, because the experience of creating it is enjoyable, and because I want it to exist, for its own sake, because I find it personally meaningful. With that kind of intrinsic motivation, who needs money? Why would I bog a pleasant hobby down with a lot of accounting and paperwork and bureaucratic drudgery when I could focus on the fun part instead, by writing the code I want to write and then just giving it away?

Hard agree on the EE + ME foundation. Most physicists reach their limits because they don't understand parallels between or capabilities of different established domains of applied physics. Plus, engineering gives you good advanced and backup job opportunities.
SQLite is awesome, but it's still an order of magnitude more complex than JSON. If it wants to be the one file format to rule them all, we're going to need high quality and heavily used implementations in most languages.

Adding C sqlite to a golang project adds a significant hit to build times and cross-compilation/static linking complexity[0]. When I looked into the native Go implementations of sqlite I came away with the feeling it wasn't worth the tradeoffs compared to using the C version, but now I still have to deal with the issues above.

I haven't looked deeply into how sqlite works, but my instincts tell me the reason we don't have high quality implementations in every language is because it's actually too complex to treat as a protocol.

I would love to see something fill the void between plain text and sqlite.

I think this is right, in part because I've been told exactly this from people who work for Google and their job is to sell me cloud stuff- i.e., they say they have so much internal demand they aren't pushing TPUs for external use. Hence external pricing and support just isn't that great right now. But presumably when capacity catches up they'll start pushing TPUs again.
I have no idea why you are getting downvoted. Maybe people do not want to know the truth?

You are absolutely right in this. Genghis Khan was not only a conqueror, but also an efficient administrator. The various khanates across central asia were a result of mongol invasion. In most of the ancient world, conquest also meant integration with local population. It is not an superior race ruling over inferiors.

On the other hand, what knowledge did european conqueror save? We have all the lost civilization, primarily because europeans did not care to save anything that is not christian.
I'm reluctant to change a leading comment character ("#") from being "do not execute" to "execute". I imagine this only works when there's a space after the "#", but I often will comment out a command I've decided I'm not ready to run, to save it in my history for running "in a bit".

I guess that’s why it’s fairly interesting to see scores thrown out in this thread on random hardware. It’s anexdata, but gives a sense of the spread/variance of scores for common platforms.
I don’t think this is a number that is ever going to make much sense for consumers to use because without this sort of context it’s just going to be like the spinal tap ‘this one goes to 11’ sort of problem.
On my machine, Firefox got 12.3, and Edge (Chromium) got 12.8. I don't believe that the performance characteristics of these two are that close unless I'm missing something. For example, audio players on Edge stutter a lot while Firefox plays them smoothly. An example is: https://deepsid.chordian.net/ I believe Edge is slower not because Chromium is slow, but because of Microsoft's overreaching efforts on energy conservation.

I think you have convinced me to use OSM more for local stuff. I have added notes and updates here and there, but I've never really used it nearly as much as I have apple maps (and used to use google maps/waze). I do know the area quite well so there's not much to lose by using OSM apps instead. I'm still a little mehhhh on longer road trips though, but I'm a pretty conservative user of apps if my current apps are working well for me.

Bitcoin's main function is to shut down the central banking scam - to separate money and state. If BlackRock try to fractional reserve their bitcoin holdings, they will be risking a "bank run"-fuelled bankruptcy which are what used to keep the traditional fractional reserve banking scam in check, before the berth of the infinite money printers of the central banks (e.g. formation of the Federal Reserve).
