You might be interested in the article: Reality has a surprising amount of detail[1].

> It’s tempting to think ‘So what?’ and dismiss these details as incidental or specific to stair carpentry. And they are specific to stair carpentry; that’s what makes them details. But the existence of a surprising number of meaningful details is not specific to stairs. Surprising detail is a near universal property of getting up close and personal with reality.

Yes, it's a marvel how the world functions at all. I speculate even a simple toothbrush is a result of coordination between dozens of supply chains. Even a safety pin is a marvel of engineering. Of course, it can easily be explained by humans' ability to specialize and coordinate in really large numbers. Yet, it doesn't take away the fact that how far we have come.

This seems like an absolute genius idea, but I can't imagine us considering trying it, even if climate change really started to get bad.

China or maybe Japan though, I could see it being able to maybe catch on there though, it could be very beneficial to the problems they're facing with their aging populations and abysmal and worsening (heading to ~zero?) reproduction.

For most of my life, I didn’t. I’m in my late 30s now, and a year or two back I walked into a grocery store and the reality of what that store represented absolutely floored me.

It’s absolutely stunning to think about the number of humans involved in making my process of acquiring food simple. Not just the farms and processing centers and canneries, etc. but the sum total of human knowledge required to make it all happen.

I started to pay more attention to “mundane” things, and started to realize mundane is just a label that limited my perspective.

We live in this push-button world where most of what we interact with is an abstraction on top of an abstraction on top of an abstraction. The fact that I can literally push a button and food shows up at my door makes it easy to lose touch with the reality of how utterly incredibly that is.

I’ve started to intentionally spend time each day paying closer attention to the basic things. Making dinner can be a mind blowing experience if you bring your full attention to it and ponder the reality of how dinner is possible. The sheer number of other humans we each depend on without realizing it is staggering. There are unlimited opportunities for this kind of exploration.

I’ve some to see it as some kind of “spiritual awakening”, although I think those are really loaded words. But in essence a cultivation of a broader awareness of the inherent complexity and interconnectedness of everything we interact with.

It brings a kind of awe and wonder that has deeply shifted my perspective and worldview, and has made me want to engage more fully with everyday things.

And it’s fun as hell.

When you make a submission, you want people to click on your link and if there’s a stupid headline, then they’re not gonna click on your link. Other times it could come across as misleading if the article’s headline, uses I, but I’m not the one that wrote it, using that headline makes it seem like I was the one that wrote it and I don’t want to make it seem like I’m pretending to be someone else and take credit for their work. Might not be a big deal to you, but I hate it when other people take credit for my work.
I am curious, are the research results publicly available for free? How can we ensure that the provided computing power is not abused?
The point of land value tax is to charge the same taxes on an empty lot as to a building close by on the same sized lot. Under regular property taxes a speculator might buy a building, tear it down, and sit on the vacant lot for years, as a vacant lot is worth less and so lowers their taxes. With a land value tax they pay the same money either way, which may be higher overall - the general expectation is denser cities would set the tax higher to encourage land to be put to more productive usage - taller buildings, ground floor retail to go with the apartments or office space, etc.

Perhaps this isn't the value of the land as you would like to define it, but rather a way for local government to encourage land be put to more productive usage for everyone who lives or works nearby - without dictating exactly what that usage might be.
Science is observation, not consumption. I ran the experiments, I got the data I needed to inform my opinion. You're more than welcome to do the same. But if all you will listen to is what scientific journals want to publish, you've already made up your mind, and there's little use pretending otherwise.

If you ask me, nothing could be more "complete bunk" than some "scientist" claiming they've somehow blinded someone to their own birthday.
Except Chinese is too hard for the world to learn, particularly in a technical context where it’s about the written form. Any logographic will have the same fate. This means it’ll end up staying within China and they’ll have a hard time globally.

Neither Google nor OpenAI's infra could handle the potential scale of Apple's userbase, given the scaling issues both companies are having.

I did a startup with dependents and debt.

The logic was simple - there were no decent jobs around and every startup I joined couldn't figure out how to make money. Eventually I did sell the company after a year, but we slingshot our careers ahead with that experience.

It's an option if you can't get a decent job, which may be the case in this climate.

I did contracting before that, but it's the least efficient way to make money. It's only decent if you're a 10x being offered a 2x salary or so and need to make use of that extra productivity.
Right.

A less formidable problem with higher chances of succeeding is from a given binary to figure out first compiler, compiler-version, compiler-flags.

From there you could have a model for every combination or at least a model for the compiler variant and use the other info (version, flags) as input to the model.

George H.W. Bush (the father not the son) actually expressed a thought like that about supermarket scanners at a grocers convention[0] while he was running for re-election. The New York Times used this to falsely portray Bush as unfamiliar with supermarket scanners. Of course the lie ended up being better remembered than the debunking so it hurt Bush and may have cost him re-election.

Becouse that's like functional programming work :) It is liked by Academia peoples and those that can't be bothered by implementation design.

But in reality it is how reality works: more complicated things consume execution time: a is Int.range(1..3) IS NOT THE SAME AS: "load 1 to register A" - it contains 'if' or few on every single use. Or function call(s).

We need CPU's that support such things natively (or via cooprocesor or something, with atomics and full transactions :) ) or need to accept slow code or layer like OS for "rich types" and "type safety"...
If you're just looking to test it out, it's probably easiest to wait for llama.cpp to add support (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/6120), and then you can run it slowly if you have enough RAM, or wait for one of the inference API providers like together.ai to add it. I'd like to add it to my NYT Connections benchmarks, and that's my plan (though it will require changing the prompt since it's a base model, not a chat/instruct model).
> Somehow the idea of perpetually paying property taxes and land value taxes doesn't sound appealing to me, especially since businesses already pay taxes.

And it doesn't sound appealing to me, as an individual. I don't want to feel like a peasant constantly paying a tax to the monarch/state: so at very least the first property an individual owns should be tax free (not annual land value tax / property tax). I happen to live in a country where that's the case (but it's not the reason I moved there): no yearly property tax.

If you own a piece of land, you're rich. A high paywall, deters large investment from low-cap income group and thus reducing ownership. If you never own, you'll keep on paying the rich. I believe that's the setup.
It was also the inspirational name behind a multitude of “hacker” (really more like tinker) communities back around the millennium. I’m not sure where these went, maybe they were killed by social media, but there used to be a lot of 2600 named tinker group for technology “nerds” here in Scandinavia. I guess what happened was the same thing which happened for me, people got older and stopped “hanging-out”, but I wonder where younger technology “nerds” go today. I think that it’s really interesting that the whole, very anarchistic mentality, which later spawned things like Anonymous doesn’t seem to have caught on with the younger generations even though they are even more oppressed and left behind by the current western economies and governments than my “generation” was. Most of it is still run by the people from that period who are now all 40+.

Anyway, I assume these as well as the tone are also a strong inspiration for the name.
I'm assuming the Orinoco Gold goes to "war driving" more than "war dialing."

>The real business of car washes is real estate.

What I see in both car washes and the storage business suggested by one of the child posters is low-labor cash flow. I can't speak for all geographies, but locally what I observe is car washes are built on low-value land where these new heavily automated car washes have got to be a cash cow once they are paid off, especially with monthly subscriptions. I do unfortunately see a lot of storages built on what could be much higher value land, which does cause me to wonder what kind of financial engineering I'm not seeing on the surface.

Thank you! If I find trouble building a "good enough" CalDav server I'll definitely consider something like Radicale and convert the contacts app to a CardDav client instead.

As for WebDav, that's still a while off, but will also take that in consideration, thank you!
Apologies, I glossed over your mention of "microseconds", and was reading it as "milliseconds". In that case, you're right, I have no intention of splitting hairs amongst thousandths of milliseconds. However, that does make me unsure of the point you're trying to make, unless it's just to be absurdly pedantic.

Hi everyone, small disclaimer, I am the CEO of OxidOS. OxidOS is basically Tock OS + Certification Documents + Tests and some proprietary drivers (which our clients do not agree to publish into open source). We try to submit into upstream any changes that we need to make to Tock OS to make it better suited for the safety critical market and regularly pull new changes (as much as possible due to certification reasons). Just look at the CAN support, Ethernet support (in progress) and many other PRs that our team has sent.

We work closely with the Tock OS' core working group, me being one of its members.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions related to this.

Your product looks super cool! I'd been looking at improving incident management in my org, but SSO being locked behind enterprise service levels makes it a non-starter for me.

Just letting you know that many orgs use SSO that aren't at enterprise scale, the platforms are pretty affordable to obtain (depending on choice). Such a relatively simple to implement and valuable feature commanding the highest price tag and a bevy of features you really don't need acts as a gatekeeper for many of us.
Someone could run Grok-1 on a 192GB M2 Mac when a 4-bit quant is released; I'm guessing that TheBloke is already working on it.
Yeah this is important for planning, and it becomes even more complicated when you're trying to optimize with AMT involved, reclaiming credits, etc. These things require multi-year planning, and the expected tax bracket is a significant factor.

If the goal is heating, you'd be better off with a heat pump, to get 300% or more of the input energy back as heat. Doesn't do computation as a side effect though.
I don't marvel at it. The scale of it all and understanding the destruction of nature for it all is very distressing to me. It does make me wonder "why?" and if it's all really required for a healthy modern life.

I disagree. Any CPU you get nowadays has a minimum of 4 cores which is plenty for the average consumer application. The most basic things people do are still bottlenecked by ST more than MT such as email, browsing, messaging. Even most AAA gaming doesn't scale more than 8 cores.
>HuggingFace still confuses me; there's so much stuff out there to read through, and I have been lost since the release of the llama models.

Huggingface is basically 3 things. 1) Repo for models, 2) Transformers library (basically some classes on top of the core pytorch that define transformer architecture, plus code to auto dl models from hugging face by name), and 3) Accelerate library, which is basically multi device training-inference.

The thing first to understand about LLMs is quantization. Most original models are uploaded in fp16 format, with different parameter counts. Higher parameter count = better performance. If you were to fine tune the model on your own data set, you have to keep the model in fp16, because training gradients need higher resolution. However, fp16 also takes a shitload of ram to store.

Inference is pretty much statistically most likely token which can be obtained without such resolution. As such, these models are usually quantized to lower bit resolutions. There are 3 different quantization methods. GPTQ (GPU first), GGUF (CPU first, born from the llama.cpp project, but supports ), and AWQ (new method, supposedly faster than GPTQ). Generally its accepted that 4 bit quantization is sufficient enough for accuracy for most things, but generally there is value in higher bit quantization.

Read this: https://archive.ph/2023.11.21-144133/https://towardsdatascie...

If you want to just run llms locally, use Ollama, and use the cli to download the models (iirc most models that Ollama downloads through the cli are GGUF 4 bit quantized). If you are using the CPU and want decent inference speed, use the smallest parameter model. OOtherwise use the highest parameter count one that will fit in your VRAM (or RAM if you are on a Mac, since Ollama supports Apple Silicon)

If you wanna do a little bit more tinkering (like running larger models on a limited resource laptop) you need to become familiar with Accelerate library. Hugging face has most of the models already quantized by TheBloke user, so you can just use the example code for each one on the hugging face page to load the model, then use the Accelerate functions to split it up.
People that I meet that don't share this kind of feeling and are not impressed at all by the complexity of the mundane are very disappointing to me... sorry, but it's a way I have to judge people very quickly
"They were just tracking how well his tweets were doing versus others. "

Yeah, and adjusting it, so he comes out best. That was Musks demand, as the other article shows, that is linked inside, after a Biden tweet performed better than Musk:

https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-super-bowl-joe-biden-...

They officially boost people, who pay a little bit. Elon payed a lot.

And the source is clearly not the production source and never where in this shape - otherwise why sue someone, who open sourced it?

"But, the release of this source code also comes days after Twitter forced Github to take down other parts of Twitter's source code that was allegedly posted by a former employee without the company's permission. So, clearly, there's still plenty of Twitter that Musk still doesn't want us to see."

Also, you probably missed that:

"Zoë Schiffer of Platformer reported that Twitter actually removed part of the source code that affected the reach of Musk's and other user's tweets before releasing the algorithm to the public."

Which is consistent with quite some other statements, also from Twitter itself and the fact, that the source has not been updated in 8 months.

See also this HN comment and discussion about it:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35391854

"But the underlying policies and models are almost entirely missing (there are a couple valuable components in [1]). Without those, we can't evaluate the behavior and possible effects of "the algorithm.""
Check out the official Asus support forums before you buy.

I got a ZenFone8 when it came out and was very satisfied with it at the time.
Then, a month later, posts started popping up with people reporting that their phones just randomly rebooting and bricking. I think there were a few hundred cases reported.
To this day, there is no official response from Asus.
I used to carry a backup phone with me every time I was away from home for longer than a day because I was afraid that my phone could die at any moment.

Also, every update seemed to introduce a new bug that only got fixed in a month or so with the next update. So we had broken face unlock for a month, broken Google Pay, broken notifications, among other things.

I haven't been following reports for the ZF9 or ZF10, but I think they had similar problems.

To top it all off, the official unlocker / root tool from ASUS has been disabled for over a year by now, and nobody knows when it will work again.

All in all, ASUS phones (at least the ZenFone line) do have great hardware, but official support is abysmal.

"Another issue is that some sites will complain if you are not using a "standard" browser and the site will become unusable for that reason alone."

This is where the blog post falls short. It assumes the software someone uses to access these websites is a constant, chosen from a small selection of browsers controlled by companies that seek to profit from proliferation of online advertising. The software used is not a variable in this "study".

Most of the sites on the list presented, namely the ones where we are just reading, listening or watching (cf. performing some commercial transaction), can be accessed using software not controlled by so-called "tech" companies on older hardware even with today's bloat and the experience will be faster than if trying to use the bloated software from so-called "tech" companies. (That software comprises both the browser and the gratuitous Javascript software that these browsers will run automatically without any input or choice from the user.)
