My prediction is eventually there will be anti-trust ligitation, they will be required to open the CUDA standard, after which AMD will become a competitor.

NVIDIA could voluntarily open the standard to avoid this ligitation if they wanted to, though, and IMO it would be the smart thing to do, but almost every corporation in history has chosen the ligitation instead.
As engineer in a .NET/javascript/python shop, I can tell you that literally ALL your suggestions would freak the shit out of me.

- k8 => why? I’ve never worked with k8, but I’ve heard enough to know it’s an overengineered shit show that solves a problem I don’t have. Probably most people think like me.

- iac template: don’t even know what that is.

- shared wiki: and this would be the 14th repo that is meant to contain all doc, and that would be totally incomplete and out of date before anyone reads anything in it. And if you had written any docs, you’d know wiki is the worst thing to ask your eng to work with. You want docs, write it yourself!

- scan repos for secrets, and make all access internal => how is that helping me exactly?

- linting and security scans on all code => well imposing linting is certainly going to help me reach that deadline. You want clean code? Clean it yourself, cause I surely won’t clean garbage code from a guy who left 10 years ago! Security scans? Meh.

- quarterly summary and survey: not my problem. Wait? Are you seriously asking me to fill in a painfully long form every quarter? Can’t wait for the “46% of you didn’t hand off your survey in time, you should do this over the weekend” email.

- standardized app templates: AH, at last something for me. Is that helping in any way? Probably not, cause I already have a standard way of doing things, so this again is some top-down imposition on how to do things. Unless your standardize way comes with a ton of stuff that would be painful to do in my way of doing things, this is more stuff preventing me to do my job efficiently.

—-

The problem is that you should ask yourself: what can _I_ do to help those guys? What can _management_ do to help those guys?

The best people I’ve worked with would take the pain points away. Like one of my boss would come in one morning and say: oh I’ve written the documentation for API x, and people would look at him and say “what? Thanks!”. Or one other came in and said “I hired some external database guy who’s going to go through all your sql queries and optimize them for you”.

“Ask not what your team can do for you, ask what you can do for your team” is a bit cheesy, but it’s basically the job you’ve taken. And no dev exp is not devops. At all.

You should really dive in the life of these people, take one-week rotations working very closely with all the various teams. See how they’d “onboard” you if you were a new employee. The first thing you want is a general overview of the place.

But you should really change your attitude towards your team. Comments you’ve posted here kind of show that you think you know better than the 200 guys who’ve been here before you. Don’t be that guy. We’re all engineers. We’re all smart. Things are the way they are because things happened. Learn humility.

The fundamental 'unit' of NN computation is not an individual vector element but rather an entire vector. One of the first results you often learn about in linear algebra is that some axes are more important than others (principal components, singular value decomposition). Thus, it totally stands to reason that the underlying field of the vector is inconsequential but rather the entire vector machinery. All you have to do is make sure that there are enough elements in the vector to get the job done for whatever bit size of element.
From the article: "As the red giant tears apart nearby stars, the dense white giant absorbs the shrapnel, a mixture of hydrogen-rich materials that come its way. The tiny dead star then gradually becomes hotter until it reaches a breaking point when all that energy is released in a huge cosmic explosion — a so-called nova."

That's the worst explanation of a nova I've ever seen. You'd think the author would have at least glanced at the Wikipedia article about novae.

BPA free doesn't mean all plastic though. So we'll have to wait for a YouTuber to helpfully try it out in video to show whether or not they do. But also, this doesn't have to be a purity test - even though I think they probably use plastic inside of their cans because they very studiously avoid saying they don't, less plastic is still less plastic. A very thin layer of liner vs enough plastic to be durable as a bottle is an improvement over the status quo.
No; prices went up fast but there is nothing to drive them back down (ie competiton) even with inputs costs having declined due to monetary policy. Ergo, inflation was used as cover to hold prices high long after their cause had subsided.

The wizkids who came up with WikiLeaks Task Force back in the day might know a thing or two about how they feel
Given the revelations from the organization named US Right to Know, this should no longer be surprising or controversial (hell, more than one US federal agency has concluded it was lab leak). That said, when I post such revelations on HN, they immediately get flagged into oblivion. Lab leak does not equal anti-vax, anti-mask, or even anti-China. People need to get over themselves.
Socialising with other people is messy, and hard, and often the payoff is not realised for quite some time. This is why people end up having so many social connections from their work, or other areas where you have frequent forced interactions: it takes time to get over that initial hump and see people as friends.

Unfortunately our tendency as humans is to avoid this unpleasantness, and so we've built technologies and systems that embrace that. Food delivered to our door, dating apps that mean we never have to approach anyone, and embracing remote work where we never see anyone.

Something has to change. Connecting with others is in our DNA, and is going to cause a lot of suffering as we continue down this path.

What seems more likely, RCE in Apex or Easy Anti Cheat, that only targeted two players... Or that the two players, ImperialHal and Genburten had the hacks installed, and this was exploited by Destroyer2009 to prove that two top players have been hacking?

After all, given Destroyers track record posted here by someone else, they clearly have a close association with the cheat creaters. Since they have been using them for so long.

All they did was enable it on their live streams.

Love it but don't quite get it.

Lua only has 5 "data" types: nil, bool, number, string, and table. There is also "userdata" (defined in C)

Would this improve performance for functions that take in the non-table types? Or does it provide some mechanism for structured data besides tables?

I have a hard time believing there are many performance gains to be had for the few functions that take in only native types. I suppose compiling those could have major performance improvements in a few tight-loop use-cases?
I lifted mine but probably shouldn't have. I kept sticking stuff under it, a crate, a stool, until I was able to put two step ladders under. The higher it goes, the lighter it becomes since now the horizontal roller starts to take on some of the weight. But it's super dangerous.

When the spring broke, one of them snapped, and the quickly dropping door snapped the other one as well. Surprisingly it didn't damage the door itself. It's a double door so had two springs.

I toyed with the idea of replacing the springs myself but after asking around doing a few searches decided it's best I pay a professional to do it.
I think they're planning for a world where half their customers (hyperscalers) just use GPUs and CUDA while the other half (the long tail) use more profitable, higher-level parts of the platform. They don't have the leverage to force customers one way or the other. It would be easier to just sell GPUs, but they know that sophisticated customers can switch to other chips while the platform provides lock-in for smaller customers.
Maybe it's the greater barrier to see people in US cities. People are generally further away bc less density

My earliest introduction to ethnic Irish names was as a teen, a character in the comic book Preacher of Irish writer Garth Ennis: a hundred year old vampire from pre-Independence Ireland named Proinsias.

When I was in my early 20s I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to do, signing up for a 40 year career in just one area seemed so limiting and a little depressing.

I ended up making a list of all the jobs/roles that could be interesting and then for each job I made a list of skills and trainings that would be necessary/helpful. For example becoming a software engineer would require learning how to code, but if I wanted to join the foreign service I would be better off learning a new language.

Then I looked for skills that overlapped across careers and tried to find opportunities that would allow me to learn/improve on those skills. By focusing on what I would learn in a role, I didnt feel like I was committing to a life of drudgery and I kept the option to switch between careers open.

I would also second the person who told you to aim for the $$$. If you can earn a lot of money (and not spend it) in your early 20s it gives you a lot more freedom and flexibility later on. Because I saved a large percent of my software engineering salary, I was able to start a PhD program in my early 30s while many of my friends who spent their 20s (happily) earning less money are now starting to freak out about finances and dont have as much freedom when looking for employment.

> Three Mile island was very close to being a major disaster

No, it wasn't. In fact, the plant operators made just about every possible mistake they could have made--and still no harm to the general public. TMI was actually an illustration of how good design of safety systems can protect the general public even when reactor operators make multiple bonehead mistakes. Unfortunately the media narrative, as in so many other cases, drastically misrepresented what actually happened.

> and upon further review had more radiation escape than was initially disclosed.

Yes, but still zero harm to the general public.

> many of them seem to be various components of the system exploding for various reasons, which could have led to horrible outcomes but luckily did not

I do not see any incidents with commercial power reactors that fit this description.

Seconded. I grew up in southwest Missouri. When we came in from the woods or fields, the question was how many ticks you’d have to pull off you. It was guaranteed you’d have at least a couple.

I’m glad Lyme disease wasn’t as pervasive when I was a kid. At 2+ tick bites a day, every day, all summer, we couldn’t have beat those odds.
I know where I could get several hundred terabytes (maybe an exabyte? It’s constantly growing) of ultra high quality STL files designed for 3D printing. I just don’t have the storage or the knowledge of how to turn those into a model that outputs new STL files.

I’d imagine it’d require a ton of tagging, although I have a good idea of how I could leverage existing APIs to tag it mostly automatically by generating three still image thumbnails of the content, then feeding that through CLIP, and verifying that all two or three agree on what it’s an STL of, and manually tag the ones that fail that test.
It already exists; it's called a colostomy bag.
> I see 'crime' all over now..

This is anecdotal. The data just doesn't back it up (eg [1]). You've brought up a number of issues As for retail theft, even the Walgreens CEO had to admit the problem was overstated [2]. There are a bunch of reasons for it. One is the crime narrative. Another is its easier for companies to blame theft rather than poor inventory management and retail operations.

When you say you "see" crime everywhere, I suspect you mean it's all over your [social media of choice]. Today everyone has a camera.

Another example is kidnapping. It wasn't that long ago we had the generation with TV ads asking parents if they knew where their kids were and telling them to come home when the street lights came on. Now? There's a completely overblown fear of kidnappings. We hear figures of >800K children being reported missing a year. Almost all of them are custody issues. Stranger kidnappings are more like ~8/year [3].

Fomenting fear of a crime epidemic is an intentional and well-funded political objective.

That's why it's surprising how heavy the doors are. Springs make it very easy open and close the garage doors with one hand, so we get used to it. When springs snap, (they all have a limited lifetime) the doors suddenly feel surprisingly heavy.

Don't know your situation but I'd dare to suggest fix the opener, simply because it means not standing right underneath, you or your kid, when the springs snap. It was quite startling when that happened.
And possums! When I learned 1) how utterly harmless possums are and 2) how voraciously they love to eat ticks, they became my favorite backyard visitors.

The manufacturers’ service teams want you to think that, but the truth is there will always be aspiring individuals who can figure out the fixes, and through the power of the internet share with the world.

But who knows when I'll figure that out.

It would be kind of genius for Nvidia to "open" the CUDA APIs (which have already been unofficially reverse engineered anyway) but not the code. Maybe they'd also officially support HIP and SYCL. Maybe they could open SXM after all competitors have already committed to OAM. They'd create the appearance of opening up while giving up very little.
I don't want to have to deal with reselling books... Plus I'm a hoarder so I really don't want to tempt fate and accumulate physical things I don't need.
This is also the only place Nvidia are getting competitive pressure - from the likes of Groq (and likely but less published from Cerebras) with higher inferance T/s and concurrency utilization/batching [1] so if this proves to be the true then the case for big chip systems (on todays specs) will be harder.

Don’t worry as much about your interests, but think about why you find those things interesting/enjoyable.

Those reasons why are much more transferable to a wide range of different jobs. It can also help avoid the trap of trying to make your hobby your job (which kind of ruins the hobby for a lot of people).

I also think people can become passionate about almost anything if they spend enough time doing it. I enjoy doing data analysis now, which is something I never would have guessed when I was younger. It scratches the same itch for me that LEGO did as a kid. I can create order out of disorder. That reason why can be found in countless careers.
