> This is a personal project aiming to replicate analog coupling dynamics with asynchronous digital circuits FPGAs, not a claim that we can solve NP complete problems with a fundamental speedup.

Then you shouldn't have led with that? It's like academic clickbait to say "here's this thing I'm working on, it uses XYZ technique to solve REALLY HARD PROBLEM" but omit the "...very poorly" part. Like I said I don't entirely blame you, I blame the academics that have an entire cottage industry and culture around these kinds of "results".

> These sorts of Ising architectures get their speed-up are based on oscillator interaction, not parallelism.

Not sure what you're trying to say - it's quantum annealing "brought to life" using simple 2-state (up/down) particles/phonos/whatever you want to call them. The quantum in quantum annealing means superposition ie parallelism; your implementation is basically a D-Wave machine without the qubits.
>> The very idea of NNs is that it's not perfect, it is messy and not optimal, but is very generalizable.

Newton: Do you need more than that to describe the speed of a thrown baseball on a train? No. DO you you need more than newton to get to the moon? No. Is it going to be accurate at high speed in a large scale system (anything traveling near C)? NO, it fails spectacularly.

NN's are great at simulation, language, weather... But what people using them for weather seem to understand and the ML folks (screaming about AI and AGI) dont is that simulation is not a path to emulation. Lorenz showed that there were limits in weather, that most other disciplines have embraced these limits.
google itself is becoming more of a privacy mess.

I wonder if that's an artifact of it being a parts-bin transmission meant for countries with slower highway speeds. Nissans larger cars in the US are North America specific models.
I'll only own manual cars. On a long highway ride and consciously want to conserve fuel, I often get better mileage (+3-4 mpg) than my car is rated. If I'm low on fuel I can drive in a way that will eak out extra miles just by keeping it in high gear, driving at the lowest RPMs possible for the terrain, coasting long distances in neutral...

Nissan CVTs do this (or did, I guess they're phasing CVTs out) apparently in response to driver complaints. Seems most felt it disconcerting that it just stayed at one RPM, even if it is more efficient and performant.
Thank you for your very thoughtful response. This has given me food for thought.
That is difficult, yes. The way the game is played is a handful of large outlets promote themselves as “trusted” and then drown out everything else as “untrustworthy”. But the fly in the ointment for them is that even these large/sophisticated opinion manipulators (they shouldn’t be called news sources at this point) are inconsistent both over time and sometimes also in the moment. Today’s public short attention span prevents it from seeing such inconsistencies or from paying attention to the broader picture. But guess what today’s models easily outperform humans on? The ability to pay attention to more than a small handful of things for longer than a few minutes.
That would be my guess. The small wheels make it look like the cars from Mexico, technically also North America but their car models are different.
I recently wrote Hancho (https://github.com/aappleby/Hancho) that is designed to be fully dynamic; I thiiiink it would fit most of the desired criteria here (aside from cloud caching) but I'm not positive.

I'll have to do a bit more investigating into what this article means by "dynamic dependencies".
In practice, though, asynchronous systems can run a lot faster than their synchronous counterparts! Also, I'm mostly working on this project because it's cool and interesting to build oscillator-based computing systems on FPGAs, not because I'm trying to build a practical system.

That's why I posted it here: it's a fun use-case for asynchronous stuff you can do on FPGAs.

Mashing the throttle takes literally zero skill, hitting a proper heel-toe will always be more satisfying to me as it has taken years for me to perfect and I still mess up here and there.

Plus, a tuned Golf R/STI/Evo can throw people in their seats effortlessly too, and rolling antilag will always sound cool.
The later Nissan CVTs are apparently fine, although they were unable to overcome the damage done to their reputation.
I didn't pull this argument out of nowhere, please read the direct comment I was replying to. Your position is also completely untenable: this benchmark was obsoleted by its creators 29 years ago, who very clearly say it is obsolete, and you're arguing that it isn't because it "still runs."

I'm guessing that this discussion would be more productive if you would please say who you are and the company you work for. I'm Brendan Gregg, I work for Intel, and I'm well known in the performance space. Who are you?

Great initiative, unfortunately not widely available yet:

"Luna is currently available to customers in US (excluding US territories), mainland UK, Germany, Canada, France, Italy, and Spain."
In my experience they tend to add extras for the smallest pieces and have never missed a piece.
It very much depends on the locale in the US.
Take a game where you get to pick a single number between one and a billion. If you pick 10 you win. This has a billion states, but it's trivial. I can increase the bound above a billion, it doesn't matter.

State count gives an upper bound, though, to how complex a game can be, for sure.
What an amazing idea :)

They reproject the input images and run the low-res network multiple times. Then they use an approach similar to NeRF to merge the knowledge from those reprojected images into a super-resolution result.

So in a way, this is quite similar to how modern Pixel phones can take a burst of frames and merge them into a final image that has a higher resolution than the sensor. Except that they run useful AI processing in between and then do the super-resolution merge on the results.

Just roll the dice. I refuse to believe that the average recruiting process is better than a fair dice.

The outcome seems to be a dice roll anyways. All these ceremonies just introduce bias.

Put up some requirements, get applications, roll the dice. Qualified, real person with valid credentials? If not, reroll. Can talk to you inperson for 30 minutes without seeming to want to cut your throat? Give offer.
Welcome to the cargo cult!
FWIW there is a Godspeed iOS app. No watch support yet but it's on our list!
I recall, but that got on my nerves less because those transmissions sucked to begin with. :)
Wet clutches are standard in motorcycles. Lower power of course but they work very well across the entire segment.
I wonder if this is really true or just an excuse. Certainly the argument "if the government needs to tell you to get vaccinated then it can't be that good" has been made but one could just as easily imagine the opposite argument: "if the government isn't recommending the vaccine it must not be that important".

These backlash arguments also lead into a very cynical place where bad ideas either can't be countered at all or can only be countered through reverse psychology.

Me too! That's the only reason I know laptop-sized portable ultrasound machines exist. I had an internship there one summer where I wrote automation software for the M-Turbo.
To Weizenbaum's point, back in the 80s I used to cart a Teletype and an acoustic coupler to high schools to talk about computer science. The big demo was Eliza. Even after I explained that it was a simplistic program (getting it to say “Perhaps we fragisticulate each other in your dreams”), and showed the students the scripts it was using, I found students would want to have serious conversations with it, of the “please don't look at it just now” variety. Seeing that the students and teachers consistently missed the point, I stopped using it.
Ish. I think EVs in the long term will use two gears.

1-gear transmission seems... ill-suited. Its only possible on grossly-overpowered EVs (ex: Tesla). Economical cars like Leaf would likely benefit from a 2nd speed.

Honda Accord Hybrids have a silly design: EV Motor is permanently on low-gear, while ICE-engine is permanently on high-gear. You could call it a two-gear system, but perhaps its two motors each permanently attached to a single gear without any traditional "transmission" (aka: system to change gears). Just a computer that is deciding to take more (or less) power to the ICE vs EV.

------------

EVs are well known to have poor highway cruising economy. I do wonder if a 2nd gear would help them out.
> If we look at human anthropology, we see a species that treats solitary confinement and banishment from society as punishments — we are a society because we can cooperate and trust a little — but when are safely back in society, we start competing like mad (and cheating like mad) as though the society is there to be strip-mined.

I really like this quote. We simultaneously value trust and community, yet so many people also treat it as just another resource to turn into money and power. Alan Kay is a real gem.

"The study defends the promotion of social safety nets, through generous family and work policies, which may lessen midlife loneliness by reducing financial pressures and work-family conflict, in addition to strengthening job security and workplace flexibility."

An interesting article with a confusing ending. These policy proposals do not at all seem linked to the root causes mentioned earlier. I would be skeptical that giving people more money/time off significantly addresses the problem.

I think what stands out about the US is geographic spread. It seems common to move a few states away to truly start a "blank slate" life. You lose physical access to your original family, friends in the town you were born, and maybe even the college you went to.

I'll compare to that my "typical" European situation, which is characterized by a lack of geographic spread in the tiny country of the Netherlands.

I still live in the small town in which I was born. And most I've ever known from this town are still here or in adjacent towns. I have immediate physical access to "kids" I've known for decades, everybody I went to school with (except for college, which was further away) my parents, in-laws, 20 or so aunts and uncles and a shitload of their offspring.

So this is an additive network of blood (family), friends, co-students, neighbors. It's a solid network in quantity and quality. It's not a lucky shot because I decided to stay in my town, the point is that everybody stays in the town because they don't need to move a thousand miles for opportunities.

My work actually is quite a long commute away and this reveals another typical European phenomenon: on average, Europeans don't have a strong incentive to build an intimate social network at work. They're less likely to build deep friendships or do dating there. For the simple reason that they already have a network back home.
Tailscale runs its own local DNS resolver on your computer at 100.100.100.100, if you have enabled that in settings. Your DNS queries don't go to any Tailscale servers. By default, the client simply forwards all queries to the system DNS resolver, providing some added conveniences like automatic DNS over HTTPS upgrade when available. Also, you don't really have to use Tailscale for DNS if you're comfortable reaching your devices using their 100.x.y.z IP address. See https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns for more details.

And yes, Tailscale keeps a connection open to its servers to allow other devices to reach you when you're behind a firewall and direct connections can't be established.
Yes, and if the number of households stayed the same then they wouldn’t need more housing. But, that’s not what is happening.

So when they say things like this: “the UK’s homes-per-capita ratio actually exceeds the US’s.” they are ignoring the differences in household sizes between the two countries.
I dunno man, I think saying "this is a personal project of mine" and linking to an open source github repo implies that it's a casual side project. I never made any performance claims, it's just for fun. I'm not trying to put up clickbait.

And yeah, I think the fact that you can build a classical, analog, D-Wave-sans-qubits machine on an FPGA is cool!

This suggests something. Knuth's old "literate programming", which is a formalized comment-heavy style. That might be useful for AI-generated code, to capture the "why". The purpose is to provide the info needed as part of the prompt when an LLM next works on the code again.

reads like "why", but its real purpose is to provide guidance as to what's important when things don't go as planned.

I was once on a project that inadvertently used ruby in some way for everything.

Rails
Bundler
Vagrant
Chef
Opsworks configuration
JavaScript bundling
Generating PDFs
Probably other things

The system was basically frozen in time because too many cross-dependencies couldn't update in sync to something newer (the opsworks cookbook in chef were the worst offenders iirc).

It was so bad when I started that I couldn't even get the system up and running locally. I ended up tossing hundreds of lines of random ruby code and with a few lines of docker commands had it up and running.

Since then I've preferred keeping things nicely not dependent on each other whenever possible.

> Say you add a new source file. Wouldn’t it be great if your build system just picked it up?

I have never enjoyed the experience of working with tools that did this. How does it know which files I actually want, and which files are there because I (or somebody else) got something wrong? The answer, of course: it doesn't.

I moan a lot about having to do the computer's work for it, but I think in this case I am happy to put up with some minor drudgery (adding a file name to a list, once) in exchange for the computer's boundless ability to then patiently follow my instructions without trying to second-guess me on every single build.
It's not necessary to be in favor of anything, in order to criticize what's already out there. You can point out fatal flaws in an idea without needing to have an alternative in mind.

Woit himself is working (pretty casually to my eyes) on some mathematical reformulations of the Standard Model. He's not advocating aggressively for these ideas, and I'm pretty sure if you asked him, he'd say there's no evidence that any one idea should dominate the research landscape the way string theory did. None of what exists out there is particularly compelling. (This is one of the reasons people worked so much on strings. It's the best of a bad lot.)
I'm not sure it's ICE rpms that are fluctuating, these could be artificial gear-shifting engine sounds through car stereo. At least I read comments that new Civic does that, didn't have a chance to drive new Honda hybrids myself.
This is my experience. Autoconf used to be really important, but I haven't actually needed it for years now.
I chatted with him several times. One thing I've noticed is that Larry and Carl both have some behaviors that are consistent with ... inflexible thinking ... that I recognize in myself and have worked to correct.

Anyway ,we chatted about his latest company, which I can't find now. The idea was this: industrial facilities often return really noisy signals on the electrical supply lines, and the electrical company has to do a lot of work to clean it up (hey, I'm not an EE). Like, motors, etc, all severely distort the waveform. So his company made and I guess sold a product that you'd put at your electrical service panel that "cleaned up" the signal before it went back to the power company. In response, the company would give you cheaper power prices.

I was reminded of this when Larry Page met with Donald Trump early in the Trump administration and brought up one of his favorite plans- to rebuild the US electrical grid around DC distribution. He's truly made for another world.
It’s inherent to all class 2 PSUs (or really all PSUs without mandatory safety grounding, which is only safely possible as a class 2).

It happens even in a properly wired building without faults, since a class 2 PSU needs a path for EMI on the secondary side to be dissipated, and due to the lack of a dedicated ground, the only choice is to connect both phase and return to the secondary circuit via a Y capacitor.

A common downside of that is a stray voltage of up to half your mains voltage on any conducting surface of your device, but it’s harmless since it’s not capable of sustaining any meaningful current.
What about a single API for builds, implemented in multiple general purpose languages.

End users get to pick a familiar language to them.

Similar to how Pulumi is available in multiple languages.

Then code both builds and meta build concerns as you would code anything else.
>> The only difference is it won’t comply

Ya, I don't want to get into an argument with my car. I want a transmission that will actively allow the engine to stall, or let the rev limiter do its thing. I also want a clutch that I control, one that will engage when I ask it rather than a second later, which is a bigger deal in snow/mud/rock. A couple weeks ago I had to rock my car out of some deep snow (snowed-in parking spot). An automatic just will not engage/disengage fast enough on command for such trickery.
That's very encouraging.

I lost a family member to this horrible disease.
Sure, but if they're anything like my friend's kid they're not really computer-savvy, just reasonably proficient at driving apps. Thus, when he plugged in his 3d printer and was confronted with some driver or configuration problems he threw his hands up, said it was junk, and went back to roblox.

Trying not to sound too much like a 'kids these days!' rant, but that is what happened (yes, in this one anecdotal case). I think we're doing everyone a disservice by abstracting away all the underlying layers to the point that people don't have to interact with the filesystem, but that's a whole different subject.
I wonder how many pets/kids they have because my experience mirrors yours. No missing parts over maybe 15 sets (between my wife and I).
>so many other possible complexities

This right here. When working with large enterprise clients I'm seeing insanely complex build chains.

Artifactories hosting all the built/allowable dependencies/binaries allowed in the customers software. Systems that check the added dependencies and verify any newly added dependencies match the allowed licenses for the application being built. Static checkers of different types. Open source analysis, dll version security analysis, SBOM, and more. Checks to see if enough build system servers are up and running at the time or if the job needs delayed. Seemingly continuous integration has swept this type of customer and the complexity of the build system to allow this has exploded.
You certainly can. Have you tried? LLMs are very gullible
Someone should figure out how to quantify how “creative potential” a piece has so you can measure how reusable pieces in a set will be for building unique things.

I think in the mountains it’s the opposite. I wouldn’t want to drive 1km of elevation down without using the engine to control the speed. Brakes in most cars aren’t designed to engage continuously for long time, they overheat and may eventually fail.
Along with an excellent use of music and pacing. Though it doesn't answer the "is this product for me" question, it does build excitement to make me want to learn more.
