Was a rollercoaster of good and bad for me.

I started off liking the opening of the show. Amazing depiction of the cultural revolution and realistic acting from lesser known Chinese actors.

Then came the blatantly imported cast from Game of Thrones, who resemble their GoT characters too closely to be standalone characters. We had.. degenerate Samwell Tarly, Davos if he was cast as Stannis, the Faith of the Seven priest from GoT (character completely unchanged), and on the other hand some LA girls trying to do their best Good Will Hunting impression. I feel like few of the actors truly understood their character and the stakes behind their decisions. Furthermore, the latter half of episode one, and episode two had all the fingerprints of Benioff and Weiss and their run-of-the-mill Hollywood archetype: that cheap game of thrones final season feel, highlighted by snappy, unrealistic conversations that end in punchlines. My taste for the show quickly soured at that point.

Episodes 3 and onwards got progressively better. The writers kept the most thought provoking scifi aspects of the book and those premises really carry the show the rest of the way. Towards the end there are some really good drama and emotional stakes involved too, so pleasantly surprised there.
Why is this misleading?: Detecting News Headline Hallucinations by AI
The presumably desired end result is you joining the new class, so yes you will naturally "become the act" at the end. My point is you need to put on that act to get your foot in the door at all, otherwise chances are good you'll get shooed away for no justifiable reason.
Also, on Firefox for android, you can't move pieces downward. The browser hijacks the "drag down" gesture and refreshes the page.
it should be pretty easy to add to the benchmarks. From a first glance, it looks like they have a lot of the necessary machinery to do well.
and you this this correction is valid because people tend to be very open and honest about their use and abuse of substances?
Never heard about Canva. But checking them out they seem to focus on mobile apps and web apps to edit photos and videos. With a very specific focus on social media influencers. Don't be fooled by the cheeky templates and filters,they are going heavy on AI, with some interesting features such as inpainting and video background removal.

I guess that's either a very lucrative business or they have a ton of VC money behind them. This acquisition gives them some good editors on desktop to use as a base to deploy some of this AI tech focusing on a more pro market.
These have always been NVIDIA's "few" advantages and yet they've still dominated for years. It's their relentless pace of innovation that is their advantage. They resemble Intel of old, and despite Intel's same "few" advantages, Intel is still dominant in the PC space (even with recent missteps).
>2. Highly integrated software.

NVidia's biggest advantage is that AMD is unwilling to pay for top notch software engineers (and unwilling to pay the corresponding increase in hardware engineer salaries this would entail). If you check online you'll see NVidia pays both hardware and software engineers significantly more than AMD does. This is a cultural/management problem, which AMD's unlikely to overcome in the near-term future. Apple so far seems like the only other hardware company that doesn't underpay its engineers, but Apple's unlikely to release a discrete/stand-alone GPU any time soon.
Yeah, it all seems very application specific. I mean, for starters columnar storage isn't really appropriate for a lot of data. That's perfectly fine! Nothing wrong with any of this. Just means it's not a great candidate for a general application-agnostic data-exchange format.
Can you share why they migrated?

Vitess seemed to be working for them for a long time.
Google gets much more scrutiny then smaller companies so it's understandable to be worried. Pretty much any small mistake of theirs turns into clickbait on here and the other tech news sites and you get hundreds of comments about how evil Big Tech is. Of course it's their own fault that their PR hews negative so frequently but still it's understandable why they were so shy.
Kunlun wasn't allowed to buy Grindr as a result of the CFIUS review process, which didn't happen until after the transaction was otherwise completed.

Blocking a sale feels different from forcing a sale, even if the outcome in either case is the search for a new buyer.
Yup, you can't move to them. Weirdly I didn't notice them at all until several attempts in (and was getting confused as to why certain moves weren't allowed), in a way that reminded me of the Selective Attention Test[0]. Once I'd clocked them I was able to solve it pretty quickly.

A fascinating article. My first thought was "I wish they'd gone into more detail about current research", but then I actually read the whole article and they have gone into detail about exactly that. It seems to my layman's eyes that they've been pretty thorough.

I'd be interested to hear what those actually expert in the field make of the article.
This is frankly infeasible. Between the decades of trade secrets they would first need to discover, the tens- or maybe hundreds- of billions in capital needed to build their very first leading edge fab, the decade or two it would take for any such business to mature to the extent it would be functional, and the completely inconsequential volumes of devices they'd produce, they would probably be lighting half a trillion dollars on fire just to get a few years behind where the leading edge sits today, ten or more years from now. The only reason leading edge fabs are profitable today is because of decades of talent and engineering focused on producing general purpose computing devices for a wide variety of applications and customers, often with those very same customers driving innovation independently in critical focus areas (e.g. Micron with chip-on-chip HDI yield improvements, Xilinx with interdie communication fabric and multi chip substrate design). TPUs will never generate the required volumes, or attract the necessary customers, to achieve remotely profitable economies of scale, particularly when Google also has to set an attractive price against their competitors.

If Google has a compelling-enough business case, existing fabs will happily allocate space for their hardware. TPU is not remotely compelling enough.
The drag down gesture in Firefox was disabled last year because it interfered with page content. Are you running an old version or did you explicitly re-enable that behavior somehow?
The news sites I frequent are doing something slightly different though. Some of them are detecting adblockers and give a similar popup saying "either you subscribe or turn off adblocker". This is fine as they don't force you to allow tracking, just seeing ads.

What you described may be out there as well, I just haven't stumbled on it personally.
Cool idea.

I have the feeling this would be even much better without the red squares and with a regular sized board. And that it would feel more logical and interesting to me.

Or is it impossible to create challenging puzzles without the red squares?
This is bad news. The Affinity offers a genuine and very high class alternative to the Adobe suite. Its HDRI workflow is league ahead of anything else.

As for Canva, all I can say is that I downgrade any student who makes their research slides using this dumb service. The slides are template-driven horror with each exported pdf slide being rasterized pngs: stupidly large files with text that is impossible to select and copy.
> if it ever gained popularity it wouldn't stay regular

This. Utility and purity always pull in opposite directions.

I see those boutique little (programming) languages written by amateur language designers with exotic type systems or “everything is an X” philosophies, and my reaction is to assume that they are useless for anything past toys and experiments.

I know useful language features have been born in that world and then eventually bolted onto mutt languages like Java and Python, but that suits me just fine.
AMM - automated market maker - and LP - liquidity pool - technology has been a big boon for crypto value for half a decade now

Uniswap is Silicon Valley based and venture backed, they launched the AMM and liquidity pool technology, it was immediately cloned and on its own removed the exchange gatekeeping from the equation about what can trade but the clones took that to a rabid level, there is no limit to what can have price discovery now. It doesnt need prestige or coordination for fungibility and exchange “listing” to exist

so everything trades now. liquidity is just parked in a pool, often irreversibly, so dead and defunct things always continue trading.

Most importantly, it’s fun
> I'd like to understand how they solve the "package no longer exists in a central registry" problem.

This is, of course, an infrastructure/maintenance issue as much as a package manager design issue. But in Nix's case, the public 'binary cache' (for Nixpkgs/NixOS) of build outputs includes not only final build outputs but also the source tarballs that go into them. As Nix disallows network access at build time, all dependencies are represented this way, including jar files or source tarballs, or whatever— Nix itself must be the one to fetch your dependencies. Consequently, everything you fetch from the Internet for your build is a kind of intermediary Nix build that can be cached using the usual Nix tools. The Nix community's public cache has a policy of retaining copies of upstream sources forever (there is recently talk of limiting storage of the final built packages to a retention period of only 2 years, but sources will continue to be retained indefinitely. So far the cache reaches back to its inception around a decade ago.)

Taken together, these things mean that when a project disappears entirely from GitHub or Maven Central or whatever, people building against old versions of it with Nix/Nixpkgs don't even notice. Nix just fetches those upstream sources from the public cache without even reaching out to that central repository from which those sources have been removed.

For private use cases where your project and its dependencies won't be mirrored to the public cache of Nixpkgs builds, you can achieve the same effect by running your own cache or paying a hosted service to do that.

For builds outside the Nix universe, you can make special arrangements for each type of package your various builds fetch, and mirroring those repos. Then configure your builds to pull from your mirrors instead of the main/public ones.
What is weird is that AMD has published for almost 2 years specifications that all the Ryzen 6000 series and all the Ryzen 7000 series of laptop CPUs (Rembrandt and Phoenix) support ECC, then suddenly and silently they have removed the statement about ECC support from all their specifications.

For the current Ryzen 8000 laptop series (Hawk Point), the ECC support has been specified as missing from the beginning.
For me, the giveaway was:

"You give up human readable files,..."

I was genuinely interested in some alternative suggestions - but the human readableness of csv is what makes it so sticky imo.
Have you actually used the products you’re recommending and the Adobe equivalents? I would say that InDesign easily won over then industry-standard Quark nearly two decades ago, and Resolve is okay but not great at most things. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of Resolve and its pricing, but like Affinity, it’s not quite on par with the features of Adobe’s products. I’m routinely frustrated by missing features. I have complaints for Adobe products too, but usually missing features aren’t one of them. (Except if your product is named Captivate or was recently changed from a legacy app to a modern Electron app (or something), then I have a lot of missing features to suggest.)

Heck, I am frustrated that Canva didn’t have a layers panel, and now that they do, that it doesn’t behave the way I expect and I can’t pull it up easily… or that Canva makes it impossible to ensure assets match when searching for a matching sequence or set of templates. Or all the ways I can’t just do the thing I’m thinking of by right clicking or modifying layers or something. Canva itself is an exercise in frustration for power users. Affinity ain’t perfect either. Great matchup, really.
Sydney when initially released was much less censored and the vast majority of responses online were positive, "this is hilarious/cool", not "OMG Sydney should be banned!".

I couldn't find a way to delete nodes after I placed some. It also seemed laggy in the sense that when I drag and dropped a node from the left to the scene it took 2-3 seconds at first and now it's always roughly one full second.
It's not, you can send messages on the website on mobile.
What could they do better? I am interested.
I think what you’re saying is accurate, but it’s also important to be practical about stuff.

These are pretty well know excel limitations by now.

And really, anyone using excel who is somehow not aware of that limitation is probably not someone yet experienced enough to be working on a larger and/or mission critical dataset to begin with.

Are there exceptions? Sure. You might be tempted to cite the example of the incident where this happened to some biologists not too long ago, but mistakes happen. I’ve seen people make mistakes building android or iPhone using the right (TM) tools.

What is the exact number of mistakes where you make the decision to jump to a new format?

I’m not sure. This does happen eventually, but the author didn’t make a strong case here imo.
Having had quite a few MRIs, the idea of being stuck in the MRI machine and it starting to smoke is quite terrifying.

For people who haven't had the experience, generally getting an MRI involves being stuck in a narrow tube (I'm just under 6'5" so with the proportions of my shoulders I literally just fit in) inside the machine for a long time. Everyone else leaves the room and goes into a nearby operating room and communicates with you over a headset. So if the machine was to catch fire you would literally be trapped inside it and unable to move, which is a really horrific thought.
Nix has been a great boon for my workstation. I can effectively stage changes before going through with them, and rollback is quite simple too. It is great to have an immutable environment with which to test changes upon.
Actually their real advantage is the large set of highly optimised CUDA kernels.

This is the thing that lets them outperform AMD chips even on inferior hardware. And the fact that anything new gets written for CUDA first.

There is OpenAI's Triton language for this too and people are beginning to use it (shout out to Unsloth here!).

> Reserved fab space.

While this is true, it's worth noting that the inference only Groq chip which gets 2x-5x better LLM inference performance is on a 12nm process.
> 1.7 million Ohioans have a suspension in a given year. Meanwhile the state has 8M licensed drivers, so 20% of the people in the state are suspended at a given time? Wild.

In a given year, not at a given time.

It's the kind of metric that's likely to overcount people with multiple suspensions in a year, too.
They flatten the time and variate dimensions into a single 1D vector. So it can handle arbitrary numbers of features.
Yes, but they don't have the custom kernels that CUDA has. TPUs do have some!
Hey, sorry it wasn't clear. You just hit backspace to delete a node. Did not expect this level of traffic - turns out we have to 5x the resources we initially gave it :( still waiting for our AWS credits...
As a data architect in a big company, I cannot tell how harmful such a stupid data format CSV can be.
All the possible semantics of the data has to be offloaded to either the brain of people [don’t do that! Just don’t!] or out-of-sync specs [better hidden in the CMS of the company that the Ark of Alliance, and outdated anyway] or obscure code or SQL queries [an opportunity for hilarious reverse engineering sessions, where you hate a retired developper forever for all the tricks he added inside code to circumvent poorly defined data. Then got away to Florida beach after hiring you.]

That is not true. The last time I have looked ECC DDR5 UDIMM modules had a price higher by at most 50%.

Nevertheless that is still excessively high. While in the beginning for DDR5 there were only 80-bit modules, which could claim a +25% higher price, now there are 72-bit modules, like in the previous generations, which can justify at most a +12.5% price increase.
Well, nothing I've read about Unicode & CJK makes me think that it is that straightforward.

> I strongly think this has the potential to (almost immediately) surpass the Pixel hardware business. But the problem here is that TPU is a relatively scarce computing resource even inside Google and it's very likely that Google has a hard time to meet its internal demands...

Yes.

But imagine how the company would do: they have a guaranteed market at Google say for 3 years, and while yes maybe Google takes 100% of the production in the first 12 months it's not a bad position to start from.

Plus there are other products which they could ship that might not always need to be built on the latest process. I imagine there would be demand for inference only earlier generation TPUs that can run LLMs fast if the power usage is low enough.
Great, and I think I've seen something similar like this style.
Except node, like Java, moves along, making those that made a bet being a better Java 8, seem irrelevant with time, unless they happened to have a platform holder sponsoring their existence.

Deno needs a bit more than that for adoption.
I don't want to spoil the series, but there are some long term payoffs lying in wait.

> I'm supposed to believe only advanced scientists can solve it

Only advanced scientists will realize that solving the problem is intractable. Regular gamers will assume that there is a solution to be had. They probably only invite advanced scientists, however, so there's probably some selection bias.

> After the reveal that it is aliens, the show seems to just wander about not knowing what to do with itself.

Yeah, this part of the books, if I recall, talked about the various opposing factions of humanity that developed from this revelation. The show turns that into interpersonal drama, mostly.

I, personally, recommend the show, having read the English translation of the books. But I obviously experience it with some additional depth and anticipation as a result.
I have seen it mentioned before. It does not work on my computer, but I wrote an implementation that does (in Free Hero Mesh, which is a programming language that I invented for making up puzzle games). However, I do not have the puzzles. Do you have a copy of the puzzles?

> Tensors are mappings which not all matrices and vectors are.

A tensor in Physics is an object that follows some rules when changing reference frame. Their matrix representation is just one way of writing them. It’s the same with vectors: a list with their components is a representation of a vector, not the vector itself. We can think about it that way: the velocity of an object does not depend on the reference frame. Changing the axes does not make the object change its trajectory, but it does change the numerical values of the components of the velocity vector.

> So tensors aren’t generalizations of matrices and vectors.

Indeed. Tensors in ML have pretty much nothing to do with tensors in Maths or Physics. It is very unfortunate that they settled on the same name just because it sounds cool and sciency.
It is indeed different, the interesting nuance is that the difference is permitting advertising interest based tracking vs non-personalized lower yield ads if you decline the cookie banner. It’s interesting to see that the money without serving personalized ads is not enough to keep publishers afloat, grim, at least for websites trying to offer ad supported content AND user choice
Yep, it can run general-purpose mobile applications. Which makes it a general-purpose computing platform.

Sure. But AWS has several "smaller" massive blocks in several places, no such rather regular patterns like MIT in single network. Whith a few exceptions for those adding their own reverse entry and some smaller cloudfront blocks.
Already since a few generations, at least since Zen 3, the desktop Ryzen CPU have official ECC support, not unofficial ECC support like the first Ryzen.

This can be verified easily on the AMD site by reading the CPU specifications.

For laptop CPUs, there has been a time interval between the beginning of 2022 and the autumn of 2023 when ECC support was specified for all mobile Rembrandt and Phoenix CPUs, but then the ECC support has been removed suddenly from the specifications of all non-Pro laptop CPUs.
