Although Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and iWork Numbers may suffice for internal communication within individuals or small organizations, file compatibility becomes an issue when exchanging files with external parties. Excel files are not guaranteed to open seamlessly in other spreadsheet software, making it safer to use Excel as the de facto standard. This applies to Word and PowerPoint as well. Furthermore, Microsoft's current offering of these applications through Microsoft 365 via the cloud naturally leads users to become vendor-locked into Azure.

It should indeed be able to handle those requirements, and I think that matches the original use case from Sqreen.

Obviously, of course, there is no warranty and especially since I only recently adopted this project, I'd encourage anyone using this to run untrusted code go over the codebase and its assumptions very carefully.

And as far as running untrusted code goes, anything running V8 is subject to V8's stream of CVEs: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=v8. Whereas V8 in your browser gets aggressively auto-updated by the browser's auto-update feature, PyMiniRacer's update schedule is unlikely to be as reliable (and depends on your own action to update your pip installation!).

N.B.: the memory limits operate on a per-context (per MiniRacer object) basis, even though (for historical reasons) you can (attempt to) set them on a per-eval basis.
I am the Steve that the two posts above refer to. They both said nice things about me, and that deserves a thank you.
All this describes video game programmers to me (well 4/5 at least). Given that there's been thousands of game layoffs recently anyone looking to build their AI teams should be diving through linkedin looking for laid off video game programmers.

Your point is taken and I am mindful that SF isn’t say, an hour outside of Sacramento or closer to the national forest range. California is handling this as a state crisis though, which is good from a governance and fiscal strength approach, but not so good considering the significant delta in risk between cities and high risk areas (due to the wildly disproportionate costs).

Claude Opus is destroying GPT4 in coding. GPT always splits up code for me and messes up or starts going in circles. Also Claudes summaries are by far the best. It feels like it really analyzes everything and puts it all down. GPT sounds like it summarizes text from top to bottom in chunks. Where as claude feels like it reads the whole thing and with perfect recall summarizes it. I know that's how they all do it, but Claudes definitely wining

This was my immediate first question. The title and front matter would mention if. this is growth adjusted.

I also think there are many forces at play. We've started:

- consuming more packaged goods

- selling unhealthy things as healthy

- doing less physical labor

- having more mental health problems at a young age

I feel a study like this does nothing to tell us what the cause is, just noting the sensationalized effect.
Nobody said anything about the economy. The second most powerful country. The have a massive amount of nuclear weapons and their ability to manufacture traditional weapons is far less than the United States.

Ukraine, is just depending on a hope and a prayer from other countries to support them, which is faltering and realistically they have lost a ton of young people and many of the kids don't want to fight, they want to escape.

I don't see any realistic situation they can do anything to Russia. Russia's economy hasn't collapsed. So I'm not sure what they can do.
Lock-in should be broken. CUDA is one of the worst things about this whole ecosystem. Looks like AMD came close to breaking it, but they abandoned developing the translation layer.
The quality of postmortems has probably improved globally but most in those places. One could imagine a cancer death in youth being treated like any death since the family/country is unable to afford autopsies for all suspicious deaths.
Chasing compatibility is a waste of time and ultimately counterproductive. The important software is open source, they can just add direct support for their stuff. What they need to do is fix the stability of their drivers, make their stuff work on every GPU they sell or have sold in the past few years (as CUDA always has), and pay employees to integrate support into all the popular open source projects while fixing every bug that gets reported.

And they need to release high-RAM versions of their next gaming GPUs. More than anything else that will incentivize people to switch. If they're selling 36 GB while Nvidia is still selling 24 GB, people will do what it takes to move over.
Alas, you are in the minority. I’ve rented 8 cars this year downtown and 6 of them had Florida or Georgia plates.

The CDC never had any official position that masks don't work. In March of 2020, the CDC official position was that people not working in healthcare or caring for the at-risk do not need to wear masks. in the same announcement they said

"Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers"

in other words, masks work, but we need to save them for where they will do the most good.

however, the Trump admin's messaging was an unholy pile of hot burning garbage, so one could be forgiven for thinking the official recommendations were that masks don't work.

I don't think there is any actual way that Ukraine is going to beat Russia in any actual sense. They have been losing territory (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60506682) and Europe is suffering without Russian gas.

I don't have a horse in the race, I just think it's absurd to think you are going to "win" in any sense. Ultimately I think Putin would drop some sort of nuke on the Ukraine before admitting defeat.

I don't disagree, but at the same time - a 20tb HD is $300, and it can store 250 disks. Even with a 500 disk collection, and redundancy, I'm looking at only about $1200 in storage costs. Even assuming replacing one of those disks per year, the price of storage is only going down.

Not that I'm not planning on re-encoding for everyday use, but I'll take the hit in storage costs to keep the "originals" around.
As with many tools there are forums (reddit, etc) and wiki's - you might start with an arr-wiki: https://wiki.servarr.com/en/radarr, your mileage may vary (I've been aware of the suite for years and talk with people that use them, but haven't felt the need myself so far).

Anyone following geohots current tinygrad struggles has seen this proven right in front of them.

Are you sure you're comparing equivalent memory and storage specs? I needed to go into the customization menus in the Dell configurator to spec something equivalent, where prices started going up quite rapidly.

For example "3.2TB Enterprise NVMe Mixed Use AG Drive U.2 Gen4 with carrier" is $3,301.65 each, and you'd need 10 of those to match the Oxide storage spec -- already above the $30k total price you quoted. Similarly, "128GB LRDIMM, 3200MT/s, Quad Rank" was $3,384.79 each, and you'd need 8 of those to reach the 1TiB of memory per server Oxide provides.

With just the RAM and SSD cost quoted by Dell, I get to $60k per server (x16 = $960k), which isn't counting CPU, power, or networking.

I agree these costs are way way way higher than what I'd expect for consumer RAM or SSD, but I think if Oxide is charging in line with Dell they should be asking at least $1MM for that hardware. (At least compared to Dell's list prices -- I don't purchase enterprise hardware either so I don't know how much discounting is typical)

Edit: the specific Dell server model I was working off of for configuration was called "PowerEdge R6515 Rack Server", since it was one of the few I found that allowed selecting the exact same AMD EPYC CPU model that Oxide uses [1]

Good for the bit at the end, where the state takes the posture that the root of the problem is incompetence at State Farm, and a gang of regulators are just the folks to remedy it:

>Michael Soller, deputy insurance commissioner with the Department of Insurance, said in a statement that State Farm’s decision “raises serious questions about its financial situation — questions the company must answer to regulators.”

>“As state regulators, we deal with companies that are national and multinational in scale. To be effective for Californians, we join forces with other states so we can understand the basis for insurance companies’ decisions and how they plan to recover financially,” Soller said. “In this particular situation, we have been working with State Farm’s home state of Illinois to get a full picture of its financial condition and plan for improvement. We need to be confident in State Farm’s strategy moving forward to live up to its obligations to its California customers.”

I meant buying instead of renting in this case.

Renting costs $5-ish, the “buy” option is often $20.
They're not regular. Just whenever I do experience a dream-in-a-dream loop, it's never just one loop and it feels like it's taking forever to actually wake up. During the dream, I do experience the emotion of impatience and annoyance. Sometimes there is also a feeling of urgency and fear because the in dream I am trying to escape some danger and I know that I can escape it by waking up ... but when I do wake up, I'm still in a dream.

I've on a few very rare occasions been awake/conscious in real life, but also still dreaming. That's really weird when that happens. To explain: once I was awoken by my wife getting ready for work, I said some words to her, while in the back of my mind the dream was still happening. I then went back to sleep and returned to the same dream in progress. It wasn't like I was talking to her in my sleep and didn't remember it. I was fully awake and making new memories, while still dreaming.

The best analogy that I can make that you might be able to understand is. I have multiple streams of consciousness. One level I use to think about what I'm going to say when speaking to someone, but at the same time I could be counting in my other stream of consciousness. I assume that's how most people's brains work. I think when the dreaming-awake thing happened, the dream was in one stream and the awareness was in the other.

* Difficulties debugging
* Crashes and hangs

We don't know yet just how much harm microplastics are causing us, but the fact that they are everywhere (including in your blood and organs) isn't helping. I don't think there's anything hysterical about all of earth's water being unsafe to drink unless it's filtered. (https://www.su.se/english/news/it-s-raining-pfas-even-in-ant...). The world has never been poisoned at this scale before. Your body is already polluted, and our children's bodies will be polluted from the moment they are born.
Mercury insurance is doing the same albeit more scummy in my experience.

The criteria for flagging seems to be houses built before 1985, in areas that have had any sort of wildfire in a x mile radius over the past 20-30 years, and perhaps some other features. The insurance companies will use every possible excuse regardless of the insured's willingness to respond to their bullshit.

Most Californians are finding notice of non renewals and forcing homeowners into a CA state sponsored high cost/low coverage plan. It seems intentional by the state to pickup more money, but that's my tinfoil hat.

Mostly true, and you'll get no argument from me on the AMD & Intel are fuckwits front. Intel does ok, but AMD in particular has completely dropped the ball on the SW front, and has been doing so for at least 25 yrs.

The point I was glibly trying to get across was that even a small effort on the part of AMD to treat the SW side as seriously as NVidia does would have yielded great benefits, and not have left them so far behind.

Also, there is a lot of work going on in the gcc & llvm toolchain to not only use OpenMP to target accelerators in computationally intensive loops but, in the case of llvm, to also target tensor instructions for more efficient code generation (https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-November/1537...).

It took the AI folk less than 18 months to almost completely move away from CUDA to Tensorflow and then PyTorch... LLVM, imho, is going to do the same for Sci/Eng and general code bases in the next 2 years.

That's not really accurate. Arica may be 500 km north of the center of the Atacama desert where this article is about, but Arica is essentially right on the border of the Atacama - take a look at the map on the Wikipedia page, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atacama_Desert
...when for example there are around 2500[1] men that have a better time than the women's marathon world record at 2:11:53?

Women have only recently been allowed to participate in this type of sport. See https://kathrineswitzer.com/1967-boston-marathon-the-real-st... for instance.

So it's not surprising that there's not much of a competitive tradition in marathoning that brings as many women into it as men, or that encourages them to train as hard.

It's also true that some peoples' body types seem more naturally suited to it. See Kenya's domination in distance-running events. They have a cultural tradition that celebrates endurance running going back thousands of years. Even if that timeframe is too short to exhibit genuine selection pressure, it still has an effect. Their children have been raised to run.

There is probably no inherent reason why women don't show the same speed or endurance as men, just as there was no actual science behind the widely-held notion that no one could break the four-minute mile. But it will take time to make up for past discouragement and outright discrimination.
