And you are also confirm that in order to have higher clock frequency you need more than just pipelining.

Thank you.

I also think that 1.5x difference in clock speeds cannot be directly attributed to the difference between node size (lambda): difference in lambdas 1.3(3)=2.0/1.5 at the introduction of the 80386 and R2000 is noticeably less than 1.47=12.5/8.5.
I think people tend to underestimate how awful the shaky interim period might be. Before everyone signs on to some sane way to address this sort of thing.

This reminds me of Marinetti predicting electricity will usher in a post-scarcity world [1]. (Like, students will be hooked up to outlets to learn faster, electricity in the ground will make crops grow faster, flying cities will make land scarcity a thing of the past, et cetera.)

This is a great point. People will complain if LMs are applying to anything, but ultimately it improves accessibility, and allows for someone to dive deeper when needed.

There will always be ways to misinterpret some academic work, and there are plenty of opportunities in the path of understanding a work to do that.

Allowing someone to engage with a work _at all_ by lifting some barriers (visually impaired people's for exampld) should be acknowledged as an improvement, not discouraged continually for having some bugs.

My main concern is food supply. Current models estimate less than < 10% reduction in food supply due to concurrent weather extremes [1]. But these models don't take into account the political economy. Simultaneous crop failures in multiple parts of the world can very easily result in food export bans that can seriously exacerbate food shortages in some countries.

I used to work for Apptronik, and for several other humanoid projects. These robots are not going to be doing tasks that are at the edge of human dexterity any time soon. They can barely drop objects into boxes.

Edit:

I saw a video a few days ago from Figure where it was putting dishes onto a dish rack at relatively high speed and that was genuinely impressive, possibly the best object manipulation I've seen. But that's still closer to dropping objects in boxes than to the welding and wiring work that I've done.
The 7Cs framework for Build vs. Buy decisions
Another great in-depth article by Plato feature Sue Nallapeta from Trusted Health, sharing her framework for Build vs Buy decisions!
+ 6 real life stories of how she used the framework in past companies
I've had almost the exact situation at my work. I eventually even put nohello.net in my status message and forced it to show up whenever someone messages me (which felt rude! but important). Wrote up a pros/cons document of async standup which referenced many of the benefits of properly practiced async communication, with the implication that we could adopt those principles in our regular communications.

I still get a "Hi" at least once a week. I've completely stopped responding to those. The cycle of grueling standups growing longer week by week until some form of reorganization cuts them back down continues.

If leadership says they're remote-first but doesn't understand the practice of async communication, I don't believe a job at that org can be good.
I'll defer to a 787 driver, but it's not out of the question that a forceful kick out of autopilot like this could make some screens refresh at once, and I know they'll change color and some will change shapes. So what we could be seeing is multiple screen blink plus that well-known phenomenon of temporal distortion when adrenaline hits our meaty processing unit. A blink seemed like "turning off".

Also, the seat moves on its own. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7DLNKU2wEjM

Having said all that, pretty ghetto, nonetheless. A plastic-y rocker switch that can "stick on" right through the bendy bendy plastic cover, with no AOG sensors telling it to not move in flight. Back in the day, anything that moved, impinged, or otherwise poked the pilot in his pilot areas had to be made so that there was positive feedback, either with a beep, or a cover that clicked, or somesuch. Hopefully they got an actual fix in the pipeline that doesn't add yet another memory item to the pilot checklist.
It's so easy there are probably a dozen apps that do it on Quest and other platforms. I sat in a theatre with 15 other people the other day and watched Jurassic Park in 3D the other day on my Quest 3. It was cool.

So why isn't it happening with Vision Pro? Because Apple hasn't shipped proper co-presence features. Vision Pro lacks a proper Avatar system like every other platform has, so they can't have apps like this, ergo they are left entirely with trying to convince people that solo experiences are a valid value proposition, all the while attempting to sell their headset as non-isolating.
NATS air traffic control outage made worst by Engineer working remote

Yeah if HEY was an actual solution, it would be a public/published protocol rather than a proprietary service with import/export options.
The one I made for myself decades ago is 632K, so possibly not even megabytes.
A rather misleading framing by Ars... OA didn't call it "too scary to release", but explicitly framed it as an experiment in responsible disclosure & release practices (one which the fierce, and extremely hypocritical, criticism of this experiment showed that the community was in sore need of); and they in fact released the model being used here (GPT-2-124m) on the very same day, IIRC, as the GPT-2 announcement!

But while it is far from 'GPT-2 in Excel' (call me when it can do the original context window and doesn't need special binary extensions), I'm surprised that a ctx of 10 works at all with any extensions or plugins which aren't morally equivalent to shelling out to a completely different program.

"...NATS engineers working on site could not fix the issue, so the problem was escalated to on-call engineers higher up the chain.

I'm with you on this part of it. I don't see what the real benefit is to McD if it hurts their brand long-term, which seems to be happening in regard to their ice cream products. We are not talking about highly sophisticated machines or repairs, its more like an organic situation that's made visible because there are so many McDonald's franchises and they all have the same temperamental machines.

I would guess that the real reason is that within the bureaucracy of Mickey D's there is little incentive to get this problem fixed. Leadership either isn't aware or doesn't see the value to fix it. I'm sure some people are definitely benefitting a lot from this, but not enough people higher up are affected by it to care.

Costco’s website is bad, it often doesn’t show prices (at all) until you go to the product page and login. And half the time there’s still a resident IAM token, it doesn’t ask me for a password, just wants to loop through the auth flow to get a new session token or something.
I don't know where, but there is another version of this class that includes "The Probabilistic Method"[1]. While not exactly the same thing, I can't imagine doing modern existential (vs constructive) proofs of topological solution space obstructions without that style of thinking.

Like so much else with VR, it's a real challenge of perception. Because nearly everyone who actually tries it finds that those cartoon avatars are actually surprisingly good in giving you a real sense of co-presence with someone else. Especially when linked with good eye and face tracking. You really quickly just forget it's not the real person you are with. But I totally agree, every time you see a screen shot or even video of it, it just looks totally silly.
Drivers I've talked to seem supportive, at least so far. They're used to uncertainty with their income. Apparently Lyft and Uber have been squeezing driver pay very hard recently. I wouldn't be surprised if this is directly related to fed policy and VC funding dry up.

I use several LLM models locally for chat UIs and IDE autocompletions like copilot (continue.dev).

The choice of the word "audiobook" is really unfortunate. That's never mentioned on the GitHub project page. I find LLMs to do a decent job of summarizing text. Obviously, it depends on the audience. If it is a subject-matter expert, they may not be happy with the result, but a layperson might be.
In First Amendment jurisprudence, there is a very specific bar as to when government involvement becomes unconstitutional coercive state action. That bar requires direction from the government and a (potentially implicit) threat of government action or retaliation if compliance is not met. Bellyaching about what a company or individual doing doesn't meet that bar, otherwise pretty much every single congressional hearing would be illegal.

As far as I'm aware, no one has yet produced any evidence that the US government reached that bar with respect to Twitter. There's definitely been several lawsuits that have attempted to allege this--and some where the judges tried to push the plaintiffs to actually properly allege this--but nothing has ever stuck, primarily because everyone filing these suits seem to think that the government looking in a social media company's direction somehow makes it automatically a First Amendment violation.
The mistake you make (and a lot of people also do) is to assume the purpose of the system is to somehow cater to your (the consumer) needs. The purpose of the system is to fulfill the needs of the elite (those who benefit from the system). Average people having a car is a thing because then people will be more productive. But make no mistake, if the rich don't get what they want FIRST then your whole economy goes into recession and what not.

The term fingerprinting is in really common usage for this, “browser fingerprinting”
All of those less expensive and more reliable ways are already being used to the greatest extent possible. A modern car plant is absolutely crammed with autonomous guided vehicles and conveyor belts and any other means you could imagine of transporting stuff.

Mercedes are probably looking at final assembly for this technology, which is the most labor-intensive stage by a large margin, mainly because you've got to fit awkwardly-shaped parts into awkwardly-shaped places. A humanoid robot can potentially do useful work in this area without having to completely reimagine the final assembly line.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlguwy9JMSA
you have the cart before the horse here. modern IPS uses, and has been using, more or less the same methodology the researchers mention in their abstract (full disclosure: i read no further): "[. . .] fingerprints based on protocol features such as byte pattern, packet size, and server response."

this technique has been around for a very long time and is no way novel. applying it to OpenVPN traffic specifically isn't either.
It doesn't help that in 2024 a $4k sofa is probably crap and you need to spend like $12k+ for something that lasts 100+years
What exactly are they going to Sherlock?

iOS non-game apps aren't exactly innovative. It's Gmail. It's YouTube. It's social media photo and video scrolls. It's been more than a decade, and the most innovative thing I can find on top downloads and top grossing, Duolingo, is also kind of a game, like if you remove the game part of it it's kind of not much, is it? All the innovations in Google Maps are kind of tied up in backend technologies that aren't specific to the phone at all, indeed predated it.

Once they figured out touchscreen keyboard and accelerated web browsing sort of everything else fell into place. Then the retina display was introduced, and software improved the camera. I don't know what roles 3rd party devs played in all of this, but those list of innovations happened years ago.

They don't Sherlock games.

Even then, is Apple going to approve a game with guns on the AVP? Time will tell. Beatsaber is an innovative game but it leaned on the basic premise of people doing something illegal, uploading non licensed maps and tracks.

Hacker News commenters don't know much about making games - even when they work for huge game studios! - and they don't know much about VR - even when they work at companies making VR headsets!

Hugo must certainly be aware of the Varjo XR3, which is actually the most comparable device to the AVP and even more expensive, but there were developers at Apple on the AVP team who never heard of it, and many more Oculus developers.

At the end of the day this is a love letter to halo product positioning coupled with relentless vendor lock-in applied to helpless consumers. I agree with you that the locked down nature of the product makes it as DoA for developers as the Apple Watch was. People forget that the first apps for iPhones were delivered via jailbreaks made by hackers, who had unlimited access, and that plus Steam ultimately teed up what limited things you can do in iOS apps today, not brilliant strategy.
I am reminded of the Asimov books where the robot detective investigates murders happening amoung people who live totally isolated lives on some planet, they never meet another human in real life, only holograms and interact with robots.

Asimov of course came down on the side of messy dirty human contact

Much of what is said here can also be done in a busy office. It’s about what’s priority, it’s about personality conflicts and managing them well. Bad relationships are waaaay harder to fix remotely - and waaaay easier to start.
The Wikipedia article also has some nuggets:

"In or before 2020, a graduate student named Zoé Ziani developed concerns about the validity of results from a highly publicized paper by Gino about networking. According to Ziani, she was strongly warned by her academic advisers not to criticize Gino, and two members of her dissertation committee refused to approve her thesis unless she deleted criticism of Gino's paper from it"
If cheap enough, it may solve a problem for people who don't know that they need to hire engineers to make that conveyor belt, or if they don't know if the conveyor belt will be needed for more than a few months.

If it's general enough, but does simple tasks, that's still a win over 'this is a nutcracker that work only with this precise nut +-1 mm at a rate of _exactly_ 1 nut per hour +-0.1 seconds.' which may be some of the types of machines out there.
> Pass on their skills

Does this necessarily mean "learning" in the sense that humans use that word?

Approximately 15 millions years ago, leafcutter ants completed the 30 million year process of domesticating another species [1] (something also done by ambrosia beetles and termites, not just humans) - the Leucoagaricus gongylophorus fungus cultivated by the adults is used to feed the ant larvae, and the adult ants feed on leaf sap. The fungus needs the ants to stay alive, and the larvae need the fungus to stay alive, so mutualism is obligatory. All with 250,000 neurons!

Whether it was the fungus that domesticated the ant or the ant that domesticated the fungus, can passing on this skill also be considered a learned activity?

The real secret we need to know here is how to convince TechCrunch to write about you when you have the most generic product on the planet. Knowing journalists is the secret?
Two major ones: you now need to handle all cache issues like invalidation (what happens when you want to upgrade or the model improves?), and you also now need to think about security issues - given the drastic timing differences, anyone can probe your cache to figure out what calls have been made and extract anything in prompts like passwords or PII (eg. just going token by token and trying the top possibilities each time).

As a Montrealer, I'm not sure I'm understanding "the Montreal" problem. Is it simply that we are a very bilingual city? If so, it feels like a pretty crummy analogy, because our bilingualism is a boon.

Is it an architecture thing? Because that's another great aspect of Montreal.

Maybe something like "the peanut-butter-and-anchovy" problem or the "circus at a funeral" problem.

> it's no uncontrolled immigration here. It's controlled by the EU freedom of movement act

What is the difference? If Schengen were extended to the world, wouldn’t one describe that as uncontrolled movement?

> now that labor has fucked off to greener pastures(probably to Germany

What effect do you think that had on German wages? The analogy is Germany:EU::EU:world.

> labor doesn't agree to be exploited as their masters demand

You don’t find it curious that the automation is happening in the low-cost plants first?

There are a number of policy differences between Germany and Hungary, from collective-bargaining to legal stability. What’s interesting is how this case lets us isolate how Hungary’s migration policies undermine their workers in an unexpected way.

> didn't come from labor bending over to the demands of the business owning class, it cam from confrontations and labor sticking to their guns

We agree. My point is a collectively-bargaining Hungarian auto workforce would benefit from automating repetitive tasks (or giving them to non-Europeans). This shouldn’t be a conflict or confrontation. It’s turned into one due to Hungary’s politics redirecting anger at virtually non-existent migrants [1].

From a pure game-theory perspective, consumers are important for their potential labor. As long as there is something productive that they can specialize in that might give your group an advantage over other groups --- it is useful to produce and distribute all the things which keep them productive. Maybe 100% of your population will be trained as scientists and mathematicians just on the off-chance they can discover something that AI cannot and give you an edge over other similarly-advanced groups.

If the AI's can truly replace humans to the point where there is nothing useful for your humans to be doing, then it would cease to matter whether or not the rulers produce and distribute the things the consumers need/want. You'd need good enough AI security to handle any unrest which ensues, and protect any natural resources that might be important to you.

If you no longer can utilize any of the labor of your consumers, then the only products you need to make are: 1) The things you personally want, and 2) The things needed to maintain sovereignty against any other similarly advanced groups. Category #1 would be a very small volume, but Category #2 might be industrially more than the entire world's current production of everything, just for your fiefdom. It would be unstable until someone conquered the entire globe, and would likely only need to provide for about 500-5000 people in their "court" to provide for the rulers own selfish social needs.
They can determine a connection to their network is through an OpenVPN server even if that server has a clean/normal IP address? Is there some otherwise basic tell that the host is running a VPN server? Could Palo Alto Network also identify say a different VPN server, such as Wireguard?
