It just feels like the span of time of the dream is longer than I have been sleeping. I could sleep for an hour and dream for a day. But it's not really that I go through a day long dream, it's just that it feels like a day has passed.

My theory is that the memory of a dream is actually formed instantaneously in the brain, not over whatever span of time you feel like has passed in the dream.

Have you ever dreamed that you've spent an hour trying to turn off your alarm clock, but in real life you wake up and it's 1-minute past the alarm time? How can you have had this long complicated dream involving an alarm clock that won't turn off, but you've only really slept 1-minute through the alarm? My answer is, as I said, the dreams happen instantly but your brain just thinks time is passing in them because it's a false memory.
It would take a large outlay to get the solar and battery to completely disconnect. Way more than it would to simply pay the utilities what they rightfully lobbied into law. They know this.

I am a consultant now so it's a new company every few months.

There are groups of people you always make nice with.

* Security people. The kinds with poorly fit blazers who let you into the building. Learn these peoples names, Starbucks cards are your friends.

* Cleaning people. Be nice, be polite, again learn names. Your area will be spoltless. It's worth staying late every now and again just to get to know these folks.

* Accounting: Make some friends here. Get coffee, go to lunch, talk to them about non work shit, ask about their job, show interest. If you pick the right ones they are gonna grab you when layoffs are coming or corp money is flowing (hit your boss up for extra money times).

* IT. The folks who hand out laptops, manage email. Be nice to these people. Watch how quickly they rip bullshit off your computer or wave some security nonsense. Be first in line for every upgrade possible.

* Sysadmins. These are the most important ones. Not just because "root" but because a good SA knows how to code but never says it out loud. A good sysadmin will tell you what dark corners have the bodies and if it's just a closet or a whole fucking cemetery. If you learn to build into their platform (hint for them containers are how they isolate your shitty software in most cases) then you're going to get a LOT more leeway. This is the one group of people who will ask you for favors and you should do them.

> We need much more emphasis on using less energy.

This might be self-sabotaging in that it helps climate change deniers get elected. Politicians have finite political capital and degrowth is unpopular. Better use political capital for sustainable growth and accelerating renewables. Win-win narratives are the only thing that work politically.

Plus I don't think degrowth is even necessary. There isn't a zero-sum tradeoff between growth and emissions.

In my home country, Indonesia, many of us were not aware of the scale of the genocide of the left, or the massacres of civilians after World War II and the War of Independence. Most people pretend that it never happened and avoid discussing it. Only recently have people started talking about it, but they often face backlash.

Additionally, you will not find books on this topic in the local library.

I think it is normal for a community to choose selected amnesia.
"You are what you eat" and when you eat in the US I would start asking questions Monsanto and Bayer for a start.
If you get 50% more efficient in pollution/person in the US (which is already hard to see happening), total pollution will continue to increase as more people globally become wealthy.

And, if they did become 50% more efficient, that doesn't change the eventual amount of pollution - it just doubles the time taken to get there. We'd still burn through all the available fossil fuels over the course of about 2 centuries so it is still all going to end up in the atmosphere.

Per-capita efficiency isn't going to do anything. At least not anything that the climate-change crowd will like. Efficiency is a welcome thing for its own sake.
Yea, all that shade and wind cover, also holding down the soil and providing stability. I'll bet it's also "nice" to live there. Total B.S. that we ever allowed this to happen.

I liked the dog stuff, although that might be because I read The Blabber before I got into the novels.
Dig into machine off the hot path.

Unfortunately, no one has the time to do that (or let someone do it) after the problem is "solved", so over time the "rebuild from scratch" approach just results in a loss of actual troubleshooting skills and acquired knowledge --- the software equivalent of a "parts swapper" in the physical world.

It had been the official position of the CDC for decades that masks are not effective for stopping a respiratory virus. They did an about face with covid for unknown reasons.
While the article mentions form filling, that isn't the point.

The point is that there are management styles out there that tries to objectively measure a software engineer's performance (poorly). And unless you are someone with high clout in the organization, you are subjected to it regardless of whether you like it, it making sense, or it being used to control the employees (politics).

OT, but for some reason the phrase "the various AI revolutions that've been going on recently" is incredibly amusing to me. To be clear, this is a compliment, not a criticism! There's something about referring to something implied to be incredible with such nonchalance that makes it sound like it sound like it comes from a sci-fi short story or something.
It's such a huge and varied state it always amuses me when people say this. I tend to read it as "I'm glad I moved out of whatever city I used to isolate myself in."

"global culture"?
Yes it does, but they also imported the credit based fractional reserve monetary system. This really does require constant growth for positive (or even near zero negative) interest rates. Although there are a lot of monetary controls, there are really only trade-offs not fixes, if loans are made for which the asset does not cover a loss. You have to pick winners and losers.

That said monetary controls are much stronger than you'd see in an open market country, and one could force a digital currency with negative interest rates.

I relate to this very much. If I've had an unproductive day, it really stresses me out and I can't relax until I make it for it later that night.
The tooling around ROCm is not as good (debuggers, profilers etc), and at least in my tangential experience (that is, involving GPGPU computation, but not for ML), custom operations are faster when written in CUDA code than in a high level Python wrapper (or, for that matter, using tools like OpenMP). Just as we write all our actually performance demanding code in C/C++, we write all our performance sensitive GPU code in CUDA (and obviously, performance is the entire point of putting in the effort to write GPU code).
This is exactly what Lloyds does.

not if this moat could be leveraged into a monopoly on AI chips, to the detriment of society.

I want to see competition in this space.

Unfortunately, the market rally of nvidia stock is suggesting that most investors are expecting this monopoly to eventuate.

Therefore, it is in the interest of society to ensure that such a software moat is not established. Look what happened to the web browser when microsoft held a monopoly on it, and look at what is happening with chrome, apple appstore, etc.

The Immortal Jellyfish (2015)
In response to physical damage or even starvation, they take a leap back in their development process, transforming back into a polyp. In a process that looks remarkably like immortality, the born-again polyp colony eventually buds and releases medusae that are genetically identical to the injured adult. In fact, since this phenomenon was first observed in the 1990s, the species has come to be called “the immortal jellyfish.”
Interestingly, if you do click the article, you'll find that they did not control for population. The 80% figure is in absolute nominal terms. It's more than the most elementary mistake, it's downright deceptive.
I'm an AI compiler engineer and AMDs hiring process was ... Non-competitive. Companies are hiring left and right at a fast clip and heres AMD wanting you to fly out in a month. I love their CPUs but... Come on. You gotta be serious to compete
I looked at the first few, want to hear more about your perspective.
I have 40+ yrs of HPC/AI apps/performance engineering experience & I was one of the 1st people to port LAPACK and a number of other numerical libs to CUDA. Moreover, many of those major DoE + AI sites are my customers.

You should not confuse AMD's general & long-standing indifference/incompetence wrt SW with the actual difficulty of providing a portable SW path for acceleration. As Woody Allen once said: "90% of success is showing up"

But what happened in AI, when, in a very short period of time, almost everyone moved away from writing their directly in CUDA, to writing them in frameworks like Tensorflow & PyTorch is all the evidence anyone need to show just how unsound that SW obstacle is.
It's also a great idea to build homes on beautiful, yellow-sand beaches that are kept nice and clean by hurricane season!

People should be allowed to live where they want - but it's well past time this country stopped subsidizing the risk of building in places where natural disasters commonly wreck buildings.

I must be misunderstanding what you mean by this, because I'm struggling to fathom what possible use a "personal identity verification badge" could possibly have _other_ than as a means of identifying yourself.
Off the top of my head, it seems like a great way to give access to content (games, movies, etc) to those that may have been able to afford it on their own. It may not have a ton of educational value, but some mindless entertainment goes a long way towards happiness sometimes. A happy citizenry is probably a societal benefit.
The moat that CUDA currently provides is what gives nvidia the room to move up. CUDA is a stepping stone - something stable they can rely on to cement an even higher position (tell me that the full stack is less vendor locked-in than CUDA, and i'll have a bridge to sell you).
That is probably similar to how you could use both sides of a single sided floppy. Both sides were tested and the factory ended up with a huge pile of floppies that passed both sides and a small pile that failed one side (and some that failed both sides and were discarded). The market wanted more single sided disks so they simply moved a number of floppies from the first pile to the second. That meant that you mostly likely got a double sided product when you paid for a single sided one. But it was a risk.

Same thing of processor and memory speed bins.
> Look what happened to the web browser when microsoft held a monopoly on it, and look at what is happening with chrome, apple appstore, etc.

Realistically what happened is that after a few decades of development, competitors arose and took the market. In the meantime, Microsoft became rich. Who cares
Also frustrating is that the advice given by McKinsey, in general, seems to be rather mundane and obvious. But it is completely amoral and sometimes cruel, so executives need someone else to come in and suggest it so they can push the bad PR as well as the guilt off to the consultancy who is long gone by the time the blowback starts.
It's kind of hilarious to be saying that Apple is more likely to be seeing traction on Metal of all things, when all but the last one of those requirements fit graphics programmers in Vulkan or DirectX, both of which have far more traction than Metal, and that last requirement is pretty easy to pick up if you're an expert in linear algebra and calculus.

It gets even stranger when considering that as major GPU makers, both AMD and Intel have lots of access to such talent.
The filtering operations shown on the Excel screenshot seem like they might equally well be done after the import step, as in LibreOffice. That way, the user only has to maintain familiarity with navigation of a single GUI for filtering tasks.

That’s the pricing for people who don’t know to ask for real pricing — it’s an absolute joke. I don’t know how might extra margin gets captured here, but it’s a lot.

Even in teeny tiny volumes, Dell will give something closer to real pricing, and a decent heuristic is that it’s at least 2x cheaper.

This is a real SSD. Dell likely buys this brand and others:

https://www.serversupply.com/SSD/NVMe/30.72TB/KIOXIA/KCMY1RU...

Yes, that is almost an order of magnitude cheaper per TiB. If you buy from a sketchier vendor, you’ll get all the way to 10x :)
I a ML researcher and I do, so there is at least one. But granted there are not many. I guess it depends on how cutting edge you want to be.
Is this the same geohot that 9+ months ago declared he was "done with AMD"?

That said, ROCm only officially supports a fraction of its product line, and an odd smattering throughout at that. It's a joke compared to CUDA which will run on damn near anything. And AMD has a long, long history of dogshit drivers (at least on Windows.)

AMD just doesn't seem to give enough of a shit to invest money into securing top talent for this, and NVIDIA will continue to stomp them.
I have written a dozen blog engines in whatever language caught my fancy at the time. In the end I realized I'm writing my blog for myself, not for an audience. The value is in sorting my mind, not someone reading what I wrote. I have moved off online publishing since then. Now I just journal in Zim desktop wiki or even on paper and you and I are better off for it. I'm just guessing, but maybe question your desire to have an audience.
Not all servers are containerized, but a significant number are and they present their own challenges.

Unfortunately, many such tools in docker images will be flagged by automated security scanning tools in the "unnecessary tools that can aid an attacker in observing and modifying system behavior" category. Some of those ( like having gdb) are valid concerns but many are not.

To avoid that we have some of these tools in a separate volume as (preferably) static binaries or compile & install them with the mount path as the install prefix (for config files & libs). If there's need to debug, we ask operations to mount the volume temporarily as read-only.

Another challenge is if there's a debug tool that requires enabling a certain kernel feature, there are often questions/concerns about how that affects other containers running on the same host.

Meh... It was fixed in a few years. Faster and more productively.
Enterprise pricing is absolutely a grift, but one where the grifted and grifters are promoted when they fall for the grift.
A shortened version of what was happening: the firmware / hardware is so bad that instead of fixing it the AMD team just added some restarts when the AMD card locks up (which happens all the time with computatiins), and even those restarts don't work, the whole computer had to be restarted.

This serious bug was open since May and AMD doesn't seem to respond as seriously as it should be.
well then the problem arises when said doctor says "I thoroughly studied your x-rays".
Fascinating. I didn’t know Aztec writing used glyphs for their phonetic value.
Except that many top players said it was very unlikely due the time it was uploaded and the availability of TAS methods at the time. The creator took a day to beat it, because not only couldn't sync inputs with the game engine current state, but also there's real rng in the trick.
That same bug is still open, not fixed. Azure announced access to AMD GPU cloud with NDA, but the cards are unusable for compute work as they lock up randomly.

So, I need to visit this place once, take some pictures, take a selfie, and run back quickly. That way, I can check off that I have visited the wettest and the driest place on earth.

My first trip outside my home state was to the neighboring state of Meghalaya (India), where I visited the two wettest places on earth — Mawsynram[1] and Cherrapunji[2]. At that time, in the 90s, Cherrapunji was more popular.

Thanks! I still design Smalltalk computers like I did back then but now I also design my own processors.
Back in the late 90s, there was a project at SGI, called Bali, to make all their pipelines work in IEEE 32-bit floating point (they were using Intel i860 chips) so that they could do HW rendering of scenes written in Pixar's Renderman language.

Sony copied that idea for the 1st Playstation, and then folks like NVidia & 3DLabs quickly followed suit, the idea being they would enable that functionality for games like Final Fantasy.

In the early 2000s, the HPC folks realized that you could use a GPU for physics & engineering codes, and here were are 20 yrs later.
The end state of a culture that embraces restart/reboot/clear-cache instead of real diagnoses and troubleshooting is a cohort of junior devs who just delete their git repo and reclone instead of figuring out what a detached HEAD is.

I don't really fault the junior dev who does that. They are just following the "I don't understand something, so just start over" paradigm set by seniors.
