But then you'll get GDDR6 delivered via HBM5 or whatever. I don't think CPUs will ever really keep up with the memory bandwidth, because for most applications it doesn't matter.

MCR DIMM is like 1/2 the memory bandwidth that is possible with HBM4, plus it requires you to buy something like 2TB of memory. It might get there, but I'd keep my money on hbm and gpus.

I have Crohn’s but am one of the lucky 20% who is in long-term remission without surgery and without the more problematic drug therapies - thus far!

But if this works as well as hoped it will bring a lot of peace of mind that if I do ever need surgery, I won’t be going back in for more every few years.

Medical research is awesome, for all its inefficiencies.
It's great fun to put SSDs in retro machines, but I usually opt to use SLC drives for SSD-unaware operating systems. It supposedly can have two orders of magnitude more cycles before the cells start to die. On the other hand, there's lots of conflicting information out there, so not sure if it really makes that much of a difference.
The trick is indeed to somehow imagine how the CPU works with the Lx caches and keep as much info in them as possible. So its not only about exploiting fancy instructions, but also thinking in engineering terms. Most of the software written in higher level langs cannot effectively use L1/L2 and thus results in this constant slowing down otherwise similarly (from asymptotic analysis perspective) complexity algos.
Park position flips a lock into the gear ring to ensure the gearbox doesn't move. This achieves the same effect as leaving a manual gearbox in gear. In a manual gearbox, the engine holds the rest of the gearbox in place, but in a traditional auto gearbox, the whole mechanism can still move when the engine is stopped, that's why the lock piece is needed.

People relying on the gearbox lock to keep the car in place is the weird part - it would be like engaging first or reverse gear on a manual car, and trusting that to keep the car in place. Even if the manufacturer showed that the engine vacuum is enough, people still rely on the right tool for the job - a brake.
That quote is from a documentary called "Losing Lenna". Pretty clear that they asked for it and she agreed. It wasn't unprompted.

In any case, she's clearly not offended by it. Can we hear from any actual women who were offended by this image and decided not to go into the computer vision/graphics field because of it?

IMO it's quite patronising of men to think that women are so fragile they can't handle a photo of an attractive women being used for benchmarking.

Same as how it's insulting of white people to think that the racism that black people care about is innocent use of the word "master".

I don't know why people can't concentrate on actual issues. I guess this change is easy to do and makes people think they've achieved something.

> Skin in the game

In the title but never elaborated on. (Kind of like CDO.[1])

Anyone who makes an effort has skin in the game. Unless your PR was made by ChatGPT or you are sending out spam PRs, you have skin in the game. (Of course there’s an asymmetry here since the maintainer has to deal with this spam. But isn’t it like email? Eventually with enough spam it will be tolerated to by-default ignore solicitations based on heuristics.)

Someone can spend a week on a PR and get immediately rejected because the maintainer liked neither the approach nor the feature. Okay but wait, you say, why didn’t you just ask about the design before you made the PR? Because some projects will politely say “send patches” if you first do a preliminary feeler-inquiry. They won’t even tell you what the chances of such a change being accepted and will just give you a generic “we will judge it on its merit and usefulness”.[2]

> In a sense this is a generic rant about missing the “good old times” (that probably never were), where people talked to each other eye to eye.

They’re simulating eye-to-eye/real life interactions. In real life I can be eight different people under my real name because physical interactions are localized. On the public Internet, under the same name, everything is in the same place.

And the Internet has gotten more hostile over the decades.

The lock is there because traditional auto gearboxes can still move when the engine is stopped, as if it was in neutral position, while a manual gearbox in gear has to overcome the engine cylinder vacuum. The difference is people not trusting the cylinder vacuum to keep the car in place, but at the same time happily relying on the gearbox lock to do the job.

I don't think Prolog is a single paradigm language. It just has one dominant paradigm: Logic Programming. But in actual Prolog systems you'll find procedural programming, constraint programming, object-oriented programming, meta programming (programming on the language level).
I’m going remind everyone that AMD and NVIDIA are atypically competition avoidant, but I don’t want to defend a generalization that broadcast let’s be specific: Hopper and MI300 are on paper just straight up competitive, both super scarce, high-margin cards that really love PyTorch, (which really loves NVIDIA, even TPU is, not the fist among equals).

But all the MI300 is going to supercomputer and adjacent things, and all the Hopper is going to giant tech LLM type stuff, it’s not the same people bidding on those bins of those.

Oh, and their respective CEOs are closely blood-related and in a trivially first name if not family gathering basis.

The people root for George generally think this isn’t real capitalism. We think it’s a trend towards the failure to enforce anti-trust laws.
The reason why you should not worry about the spikes on your skin is because the surface of your skin is made by dead cells.

Otherwise, the thickness of the cellular membranes is small in comparison with virus sizes and spike sizes, so these spikes should rip them apart too.

A mosquito is many orders of magnitude smaller than you, but you should still worry when it comes in contact with your skin, because it is not your size that matters, but only the thickness of your skin.
In the US, if you know someone's routing/bank number, name, and address, you can write cheques in their name.

There's companies that make their money on selling (now, usually older folk) literal books of cheques. One of the ways you can pay is literally for them to write themselves a cheque from "you" that gets processed digitally.

The US is a strange banking system wherein I have had the unpleasant experience of putting my card into the reader at a 7-11 and it just... Not work. Why? Nobody knows. ApplePay sometimes works -- some readers know how to handle it, others lose their shit and crash.

Because javascript lacks scope-as-an-object. You can't track `var x; x = value` through it. `setSomething()` sends a notification after an assignment. Also, DOM elements can only take raw values and must be manually updated from your data flow.

Adding these features in-browser would seriously slow down DOM and JS and thus all websites for real. So instead we load megabytes of JS abstraction wrappers and run them in a browser to only simulate the effect.
I was probably around 23, when I accidentally heard during a podcast that one of the hosts had aphantasia. Then I looked into it, and found that I'm part of the minority. I researched further into it, and it now makes sense why I have difficulty finding directions, reading fiction, remembering faces, remembering events, etc.

The problem with aphantasia/hyperpahantasia is that you are born with it, and in your mind things have always worked the same way. Many people might never found out that there are people on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I have reached a simple way to test if people have aphantasia. I ask them to imagine a car. Then I ask them what color it was. In my mind there is no car, so the question what color it was makes no sense. People who can imagine things, immediately reply with a color.

As the big name languages become a never-ending accretion of multi-paradigm features, then it just feels like a sort of Grey Goo landscape. There's a charm in things remaining true to themselves, even at the cost of maximum utility.
Yes: OSX on ARM64 has alignof(max_align_t)==8 and alignof(__int128)==16. And malloc only provides 8-byte alignment, so if you're using types that require 16-byte alignment, you have to call aligned_alloc. Also, the stack is only 8-byte aligned.

Despite the alignof, int128 doesn't actually require 16-byte alignment on ARM64, so nothing goes wrong when you have an int128 within an 8-byte aligned struct.

Some x86-64 SIMD types do require 16-byte alignment (depending on what instructions you load them with). The Eigen math library, for instance, is slightly faster when you tell it to assume everything is 16-byte aligned, but you have to do some work to guarantee that's true. As well as calling aligned_alloc, you have to avoid locals since the stack is only 8-byte aligned.

Simple trading journal written in Haskell: brick-trading-journal
It is a free open-source software. Compared to online trading journal softwares, it is bare bones.

However, it is quite useful if you consider microsoft excel for journaling your trades.

You are going to have to track your equity size in other programs because it only tracks profit.

The software reached stability a while ago. I probably won't add any new functionality. I can't add any advanced reporting functionality. It just has the basics.

Take a look. It has screenshots. If you like it, you can use it personally. I use it personally.
You're not "interacting with a language model", you're running a program (llama.cpp) with a sampling algorithm which is not set to maximum factualness by default.

It's like how you have to set x264 to the anime tuning or the film tuning depending on what you run it on.
The extreme quant buys you potentially 70x more efficient matmul via binary/ternary operations.

You still have a group-size of 64 in 4-bit fyi.And even if you keep the meta-data on-device, provided that the quality is high (which is the case for 2-bit, outperforming fp16 on certain tasks), that is a much better option compared to 4-bit even if the VRAM usage is the same.

Again, and I keep repeating this but it seems to be ignored every time: this is experimental work and it's still in progress. This story of small group-sizes on large models should not be an issue.

Explicit vs implicit dependencies (useEffect vs Signal.Computed/effect) and the fact that signals in contrast to useState can be used outside of react context which I assume is a good thing.

I personally mostly prefer more explicit handling of "observable values" where function signatures show which signals/observables are used inside them.

You’ve invented Real Identity #2. So now you have effectively two real identities, a step up from just one but you don’t have the pseudonym capability of reinventing yourself whenever you want.
well the ternary thing about SQL is that it has this NULL/unknown, and it can be demonstrated with the outer joins.

Then SQL being a slang of DataLog, which comes from Prolog implies Prolog is ternary, no? Indeed Prolog's handling of "unknown" is more procedural than a true ternary logic.

So it has slightly different notion. Even though I'm more a Prolog amateur (s.o. who loves it), a a failed query in Prolog implies the unknown state. It's about the provability within the system, not about a third truth value.

Do you have the same level of imagination for all sensory modalities?

I don't.

I can imagine sounds so intensely that it has on at least one occasion become indistinguishable from real. I can also easily do this overriding of real sensation with imagination, with my sense of which way down is.

I can't imagine a smell at all, even though I can recognise them upon experience — if I want to decide which herb or spice to add when cooking, I need to open the container and sample some in order to decide.

I don’t think correlation = causation in your anecdote. Care to provide some examples of people who were “cured” of Crohns through diet alone?

I have had Crohns for nearly four years with it in remission for the last two years. Diet and other lifestyle changes did slightly improve symptoms, but the only things that have yielded profound change were Inflectra and prednisone.

I think for those who have Crohns bad enough where they’re facing surgeries or being on a biologic for quite some time, diet alone isn’t going to fix the damage inflammation has already done.
I tried to get ChatGPT (4) to extract some tax info from a PDF for me (because this one place doesn't give you 1099B in any more usable form) and it completely hallucinated the result. It doesn't seem to read PDFs well at all. Claude did it correctly though.

It doesn't seem like there any any real optimization possibilities in the article though. For household taxes there just aren't really situations complicated enough to need optimizing, and the big things like maxing out 401k you had to have done the previous year anyway.
NK are one if the most prolific state actor countries. They aren't UTC+2 though.

Greece and Finland aren’t prolific. I’m sure they have the resources, many lone people would have. I don’t think they have the motives though. The US, Russia, China, NK and Israel have the motive, opportunity and track record. I wouldn’t rule out Ukraine either (and Ukraine is GMT+2)

I still think that an individual is the most likely candidate though.
That doesn't explain the huge parts of Dublin with a 650k median price in a country where a household income of 100k puts you in the top 10%.

A subsidised product that is unsustainable crowds out a product/project that is perhaps more basic but is sustainable.

I run webforums, and this is enforced trivially.

I don't send marketing, I only send transactional emails. Notifications are opt-in, and transactional. Logins / signups are done via sending a TOTP to the email, these too are transactional.

If someone marks notifications of new posts in a subscribed thread as spam... fine, but this is self-solving, as this person will trigger no more email ever reaching them for that email address, meaning they also cannot now sign in to the website, and therefore cannot subscribe to more email updates, or visit things to refresh "last viewed", and so would never be notified again.

Emailing a TOTP as a login has increased deliverability by self-selecting the removal of those who hit the spam button. Deliverability of email from the webforums is over 99%.

Reporting email as spam, effectively bans oneself from the website. I didn't even need to do anything.

I assume Lennart Poettering, creator of systemd et all.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering
Somehow I think a true researcher knows enough about STEM and the reason for existence of certain bodily processes and attributes to not be offended by an image of testicles or clitoris. Otherwise we would not have such images in the schoolbooks for children (at least in most developed countries these images are part of the education).

Indeed you can argue that usage of pornographic material in academic articles is similarly offensive as going to school with horn implants. Or perhaps the horn implants are not so offensive? But then the question here is whether the image of someone's face, which originates from a pornographic material is offensive. I find it hard to make a concrete decision about this, because Lena's face (and many other women and men's faces) is very very lovely taken out of the pornographic context. Besides pornography seems offensive only to few people as a percent of the world's population...

This also reminds me how children across the world answer the question whether a drawing of a head is image of a person or image of a head. If I remember this correctly, a story was told by psychology teacher back in school, so long time ago, the children in Europe see a person, the children of natives in Northern America see a head. So this all is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? Thus being offended by the usage of Lena image implies the author knows the source of it and imagines the missing pornographic part.
Well, I am older than this chap and I don't feel old because of AI. In fact, I love what's happening with coding and AI. It's like having a wonderful buddy who programs with me. It takes away the drudgery of some tasks and shows me new things. I get to learn from the AI systems.

Now, imagine that AIs start replacing more and more of what I do, then I'll have more and more time to think of what I want built and not have to spend so much time on building it. Sounds brilliant to me.

And when I want to I can turn away from the AI tools and handcraft something. For the pleasure of it.
My guess is „Lennart Poettering“.
It's a damning indictment of the computer security industry, IMO.

They push wildly complicated and performance-costly bandaids for vanishingly unlikely exploits for dubious benefit, and pay very little attention to holes like this you can drive a truck through. https://xkcd.com/538/ is very fitting.

The fact a database hacker found it, and it missed all these supposed scanners and auditors and security experts is the icing on the cake. But even if it was one of them that found it, it's already in the wild.

The technical programming tools and techniques for security are important don't get me wrong, the security industry just seems to have very little concept of cost-benefit, the big picture of how attackers and their targets operate and what motivates them. They seem to mostly exist to justify their own existence.

I've already seen "security experts" wheel out the big scary (and meaningless) term "nation state" over this, which makes me laugh. Sure it could have been the CCP. It could also have just been some bored kid in his parents basement, that just wouldn't look good to admit though.
