I am on the same MB Air since early 2019 and short of very occasional travel in the last 5 years it stays plugged in all the time. Just got back from a trip where I had more than 5 hours of heavy usage on battery and went nearly 6 hours before I was looking for an outlet.

I’m not unhappy with that…so I am always a bit skeptical of these laptop plugged in all the time are bad claims because it just doesn’t match my recent experience.

So, what is antimatter?
IMO the parent comment shouldn't even have mentioned profitability. Profitability is only indirectly relevant. What matters is if the game is available or not. Profitability might drive that availability but that's the publisher's problem.

With trademark we have the "use it or lose it" clause, we could have the same with copyright, "publish or lose it". If it's not available for purchase or free consumption for some duration (6-12 months seems reasonable) anyone can publish it. This should also extend to other works of art like books and movies. I'm uncertain if you should get the copyright back if you go back to publishing later. Probably not since that will deter anyone else from making the work available.
The queue length isn’t maintained by the queue counter. For a start, there are two queue counters - the write counter and the read counter, each of which is a two bit counter. Each points to one of the four positions in the queue.

The queue itself though can be in one of five states - its length can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

The difference between the position of the read and write counters (which is always available through the hardcoded XOR subtraction circuit detailed in the article) is either 0, 1, 2, or 3.

The flag allows you to tell whether the 0 result of that subtraction is a zero length queue or a full queue.
It would probably be (comparably) cheaper to trap anti-matter in space and bottle it up - essentially mining it.

> I think that the hard part is assessing "profitability" though - Nintendo has shown that they're able to re-release games decades after initial release and turn a profit. Trying to legislate "profitability" could result in Nintendo (and other big game companies) holding on to their IP for longer, as opposed to just getting Congress to reduce copyright term back down to 15 years or something.

The simple solution seems to be tying the copyright to the duration something is available for.

If they shut down the servers, they aren't planning on profiting on that specific game anymore, and cede the monopoly on running those servers.

If that causes Nintendo to keep the servers up, that's a fine outcome too. I'm less interested in forcibly wrangling Nintendos IP away from them than making sure their cultural contributions are still available.

PS I want to set up a server for a couple of domain names I recently acquired, it has been many years so I'm not exactly sure if this is even practical anymore.

Or is it better to just install my preferred flavour of Linux and each package separately?

This is totally new to me, so let me ask an extremely basic question.

The way I'm hearing what you're saying is: Lapdev sets up a remote environment that I access with my terminal via SSH, and do editing in using something like VSCode running on my local machine, accessing the remote environment with something like VSCode's Remote-SSH extension.

So by using lapped I can replicate the remote environment I normally access through those things easily on remote servers and cloud services? Is that right?

This one works in private mode. I am using Firefox on mobile and it worked that way.

There is also a plug in available on gitlab (iirc) that can auto-circumvent it on most sites. But I find that questionable and I try to keep my plug-in list minimal (it's a horrible supply chain attack vector).
Just give one as a gift occasionally. The holiday season is great for this. On your way in, "Merry Christmas Frank!" and hand one out. Or even just because. "Keep up the good work, here you go"

Antimatter moves mass not space. Its a no-go because of all of the issues--time dilation? You need to move space, but we still haven't found a way to fully create negative energy.
If we had ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had eggs. Another classic "this will be easy as long as we have unobtanium" concept.

I've been baffled, though, by the insistence on this kind of antimatter production. Antimatter production is inherently expensive because we are fighting conservation of baryon number, conservation of lepton number, et al.

Physics does have one theoretical method around this, which never seems to be addressed for these proposals, and that's the baffling issue of black holes having no hair. You throw whatever past the event horizon, all that is conserved is mass, angular momentum, and charge. Baryon number, lepton number, strangeness ... all lost. Re-emission as Hawking radiation, it is thought, would simply be this sort of thing, redistributed without regard to what went in, so long as mass, angular momentum, and charge are accounted for. You would conceivably get out as much antimatter as matter.

Now, that's worth looking at. And not from a "we JUST need to capture an itty black hole" (the word "just" does an enormous amount of lifting here) perspective. Rather, passage through the event horizon somehow strips off (we think, some think it might be preserved in some fashion) all of the variables which account for matter versus antimatter. And yet the event horizon isn't a hunk of matter, it's a ... membrane, a boundary, generated by matter at some distance (as a function of our usual three variables). Somehow, this warpage of spacetime operates on matter, shaving it so it has no hair.

That's what fascinates me, in the sense of the theoretical having some extremely juicy practical results.

You're not addressing the key point - you seem to be saying that corporations are always greedy, but the comment you are replying to is asking why would they be more greedy now? If "more profit = more greed", is it also true that "less profit = less greed"?
I never understood this line of reasoning. You are not "entitled" to Super Mario Maker. Nintendo made it, they hosted the servers, they let you build stuff within their platform, and you were fully aware of all of it. You weren't forced to contribute, you weren't forced to play. How can you then turn around and cry about censorship?

If Nintendo decides tomorrow to shut it down, tough luck! These servers cost money, and it's even more work to responsibly open it up to the community.

Cool paper. It's more independent than dense or normal MoE but I think it's still far away from the distributed training you're looking for because you still need a seed LM which is trained normally and when fine-tuning each expert from the seed LM, you still need enough GPUs or VRAM to fine-tune that LLM so you're still limited to large GPU clusters which is the problem we're trying to avoid.

In the case of the paper, they are using OPT-6.7b as the seed LM which requires 8xV100 GPUs for fine-tuning each expert. That's a combined total of 256GB of VRAM for a single expert while the 3090 only has 24GB of VRAM and is still one of the most expensive GPUs out there.

Maybe we could use something like PEFT or QLoRA in combination with this technique to make each expert small enough for the community to fine-tune and make a worse Mixtral 8x7b, but I don't know enough to say for sure.

Or maybe it turns out we can make a good MoE model with thousands of smaller experts. Experts small enough for a separate member of the community to independently fine-tune on a normal GPU, but idk.

To have both a performant and distributed LLM trained from scratch, we still need a completely different architecture to do it, but this work is pretty cool and may mean that if nothing else, there is something the community can do to help move things forward.

Also, I was going to say the MoE routing on this technique was lacking, but I found a more recent paper[0] by Meta which fixes this with a final fine-tuning stage.

Just to be clear, though this did seem to get cleared up below, the level of abstraction you're working with on an Oxide rack is VMs, not k8s. If you wanted to run your own k8s on top, you could.

> because they’re not able to set it up themselves sounds insane to me

It is not about ability. It's about quality, and what you want to spend time on vs what you want to spend money on. (and of course time is money...)

There's a lot that goes into building and maintaining a private cloud. Some would prefer to build it themselves, some would prefer to focus on their core business and buy something that works well out of the box.

Building a robust product is very important to us, but so is supporting it. If something breaks, you contact support, and it gets sorted.

An advantage here is because we have created almost everything ourselves, under the same roof, we have fantastic insight into how the system works. No pointing the blame at some other vendor's firmware!

It makes me happy.

Just as a comment-by-anecdote on how I think the world looked in 1954:

I was once eating a sandwich when an elderly man struck up a conversation with me, as he noticed I was reading something either by or about Norbert Wiener*. It turned out this fellow had made his pile in the 1950s by automating bowling alleys, then nearly lost it again by trying —as a classical second system— to automate restaurants a bit later.

These days we think of the Jetsons as a future-that-never-was, but in 1954 I think they would have seen it as a future-that-plausibly-could-be.

Yeah, it might not be inherently obvious, but imho flushing toxins out of the bowels faster rather than letting things sit in there for days is the beneficial effect more so than any compound in coffee doing work on carcinogens or otherwise.

You can’t land a kick when someone has your foot. Gravity exists, you will immediately fall onto your butt as soon as you lift the other leg.
The “green meanies” have been working in this for 60 years and already won. And they cost us half a century of progress on decarbonization in the process.

What’s too late is decarbonization based on wind and solar. If everyone in the developed world had taken the same approach as France in the 1960s, the developed world would emit so little CO2 that the entire developing world could afford to come up to the same standard within the same total CO2 budget as today. We would have a decades longer runway to decarbonize the other aspects of the economy—construction, transport, etc.

Instead, what’ll happen now is that developed countries will take until 2040 or longer just to decarbonize their grids, and developing countries will cause global CO2 emissions to blow by every target on the way to a 4C increase in average temperature.
> I dont understand this - arent almost all ML NN models built in pytorch, and arent these compiled / jit'd into a lower level format - and can we not have various backends/drivers for that, such as CUDA / ROCM / vnni ?

PyTorch already does. But if you're saying "NN" and "pytorch" that already means you're outside of the audience for CUDA I'm talking about in the article. My own stuff was usually Bayesian Hierarchical Models, which at least at the time made pytorch completely useless (that was nearly a decade ago though—maybe that specific use case improved).

If you've tried to write actually new (or different enough) NNs or entirely different models, pytorch is too high-level, and sometimes even TF is too. Even aside from that, if you're a maintainer of BLAS or some specific library for sparse MM with very specific distributions that are optimized for it...

Anyway, those are the key cases, but even aside from that, if you've ever tried even with some higher-level libraries to do non-vanilla stuff, nothing works as well as it should. You get random, inscrutable errors that certainly do exist on NVIDIA GPUs/stuff-based-on-CUDA-under-the-hood, but way way fewer. For newer, custom stuff, getting things like numerical overflows or other completely breaking problems on alternative backends, but don't happen / work just fine on CPU or CUDA backend is not really that uncommon. Or the CUDA backend is just ridiculously faster. If you're doing something annoying, new, and complicated enough, there's no point in taking the aggravation.

The people who write the stuff that is used in PyTorch or other libraries definitely write CUDA code (in C++ etc). And then the people who use PyTorch just build on top of that.

I deliberately tried to keep it accessible and have non-technical (or just non-software) audiences also be able to get an intuition for why CUDA has such strong lock-in. Otherwise, the pushback I've often gotten "just re-write it" or "it's just software" which if it were so simple, people wouldn't need to be yelling so much at AMD across so many comments. Basically, people who can't fathom why software technical debt can ever be a thing. Or, if it is, China has infinite money and time anyway.

A high-level analysis should say that Huawei, AMD, and Intel all should easily invest enough to make this all work and compete with CUDA to push their hardware platforms. The reality is decentralized decision-making from users also makes it more of an expensive, uncertain bet that people will adopt. A bunch of the lower-level, underlying libraries that things are built on AND the researchers who do bleeding-edge research still have a huge amount of experience in and stuff built on CUDA.
And it's a poorly thought out idea. It's not like it was a secret that Nintendo was hosting the servers. Everyone knew it had a short shelf life, and then decided to create on the platform anyways. This is why I never got it.
Roon are metadata kings. Genres, sub-genres, sub-sub-genres. And frequently there's a Roon curated playlist associated with each.

They also list every single musician on every single track - not just the title artists. Producers, composers, etc. I can find a song I like and click "play radio" and it'll find similar songs. However, I can also click the genre or sub-genre. I've found out whole genres I love that I never knew existed, by seeing what Roon categorized them as.

Or I can click a song, see who the guitarist is, see what else they have been in by just clicking their name. Same with producers, etc.
Given the recent history TSMC is kind of repeating Intel's mistake here: they do not want to pay for new generation of the ASML litography machines (which are like $300M a piece), so they will leverage the last-gen ones and try multi-patterning instead. Didn't work for Intel last time, will end badly for TSMC this time.

Some particles, such as protons and electrons, have an 'anti' version. When a particle meets its anti-version they annihilate, releasing energy in accordance to their mass (with the famous E=mc^2 formula).

It's still a bit of a mystery why there was more matter than antimatter when the universe began.
