Offloading a known workload to a custom chip can also save a lot on operations costs, particularly power. Facebook is interested in workload operations per watt rather than raw floating point operations per watt. A GPU might have better raw specs but if the whole GPU package has worse workload ops per watt, a custom chip is likely better.

At Facebook's scale the spherical cow raw performance stats don't matter nearly as much as real world workloads per ops dollar. They can also repurpose their GPUs to other workloads and let their custom chips handle the boring baseline stuff.
Nonsense. There is working transit in the US and a huge appetite for more. But it takes decades to do this stuff. "China did massive infrastructure project in two years" -- China is also a communist dictatorship (for some value of those words), and we can't do that here. We could streamline things a bit more, of course, but it's never going to be cheap and easy in the US.

If you want to help, vote. Or even run for something on a pro-transit, YIMBY platform.
Do you or anybody else have any resources to share regarding such training? I suffered a concussion 5 years ago and two more shortly after, and I still suffer from regular dizziness due to sunlight / busy environments and after too much screen time. It has taken away much of the joy of my twenties. Thank you.

No, UFC follows the rules of the relevant athletic commission and they only use referees (and judges, and timekeepers, etc.) licensed in that jurisdiction.

Yes "actual data " is the problem. You even point out yourself

Which would be consistent with that damn actual data showing that rural folk are more sedentary than urban folk, in aggregate or on average.

Assange is a creep and a megalomaniac who was working closely with Russian intelligence, and with other creeps like Israel Shamir and Roger Stone.

Whether he should be in prison or not, and whether the sexual abuse claims against him are accurate, is a separate matter which I'm not commenting on.

But I object to anyone framing him as a hero.

Snowden is a coward who fled to Russia at Assange's behest, and while I cannot necessarily blame him for that, it is clear that he is now a citizen of a much less freedom-loving country, and he wouldn't dare do anything such as criticize their invasion of Ukraine. Very human, but not very heroic.

> I guess the people who work on public transit aren't interested in having the best public transit system available. They're only interested in keeping it running for as long as possible with zero changes or responsibility.

Let me guess, you also think public servants are lazy, overpaid and unskilled? Comments like this belie how many people form opinions of public agencies without having any real experience with government.

The problem is the public and the politicians - transit employees largely do the best they can with the resources and constraints they are given. In order to succeed transit needs municipalities and states to: pay more taxes; accept that transit won't generate a profit, but does generate non-monetary public value; and gather their resolve to deal with NIMBYs.
The reaction you're getting is that the question seemed abusive. I also had that sense, but I was also very curious about your question, so we explored it, perhaps not unlike how we might have in an actual interview. Interviews are two-way streets. It seems to me that you're a bit defensive about your interview question! Now what? :)

Mind you, I do like this sort of interview question as a question not so much as a fetch-a-rock exercise.

The thing is that when you ask this sort of question you can very easily explore the candidate's ability to explore the solution space and show off what they know, but there's an end time, while with a task it can easily become a time sink, especially if the candidate chooses to go above and beyond and... fail to make the cut because in that time you picked a different candidate.
I'd be very surprised. I haven't tried ffmpeg in WASM myself, but I do know that for Stockfish, a popular and very CPU-hungry chess engine, the difference is within 20-30% or so vs. an optimized native build.
Jesus. How badly is elon running things?
There's a big difference when choosing technologies for a home computer versus a safety-critical system that will run for decades. Seems reasonable they would've chosen a proven, if slightly outdated, tech over a newer one that had less data to back up its long-term reliability.

And of course we can get into the discussion of cost: floppies are way cheaper than hard drives, especially for the presumably-small amounts of data that are needed for such a control system. A 500MB hard drive was probably overkill.

I am of course speculating, but I don't know why we should assume that the engineers working on the project originally made a silly decision. They almost certainly weighed the available options to deliver the project within the defined constraints of the system.
Yes, but MQA is limited to 6B size, while "other" larger non-RNN models in table(Llama-2) are not trained on the same dataset, and Hawk and Griffin are 7B. Sorry, I don't understand your point.
This is refuted by Chapter 3[0] ("Violence") of the book "Testosterone" by Rebecca M. Jordan-Young and Katrina Karkazis.

Scientific American agrees[1] that violence is not correlated with testosterone:

> "When aggression is more narrowly defined as simple physical violence, the connection between [testosterone and violence] all but disappears."

Another study finds higher testosterone promotes pro-social behavior[2].

Personally I've found that rather than androgens being a mediator of violence, estrogen seems to be a much powerful inhibitor of rage/violence-potential. Low estrogen causes particularly difficult-to-control emotions. Generally when someone is taking high amounts of steroids they are likely also taking anti-estrogens (blocking testosterone's conversion to estradiol).

This low estradiol, due to another drug, not steroids seems to be what most often causes violent emotional dysregulation. Generally not testosterone or other androgens without anti-estrogens.

Perhaps my TRT is making me extremely dumb though ;-)

I used it a few time to VNC into a virtual screen to have my laptop terminal on an e-ink screen. It can even run Firefox, though very slowly. Gopher websites work way better.

> Snowden is a coward

Really? I don't know many cowards that do such risky things.
The search doesn't seem to work very well.

For example, I searched for "Hard techno", term which was included in the title of a song I listened in the platform.

It returned several unrelated songs, the first result is a country song that doesn't contain the word "hard" or "techno" anywhere in the lyric or the prompt, and the song I listened before was the last on the list.
> which makes a very simple concept vastly more confusing than it needs to be.

Agreed. The concepts are all very simple. You can throw away all of the domain-specific terminology and reason about accounting theory with nothing but positive and negative numbers.

The utility of the confusing terminology and age old accounting frameworks isn't obvious unless you are a practitioner living "in it". It's not until you face the complexities of real world transactions (an accountant booking closing entries for a F500 company or something) that the strange left/right debit/credit way of thinking is very valuable.
That's not what the article says.

The article is about the health risks of a sedentary lifestyle, which means a lot of sitting with limited physical activity. But even as little activity as 60-75 minutes of brisk walking per day seems to be enough to compensate.

It also mentions that watching TV is worse than more active forms of sitting, such as office work.
Thanks for sharing this one! I've been trying to collect more video game ones for 500ME because I find them to be highly entertaining.
Maybe "Redhat for individuals" would be a better business plan?

You charge 20 bucks for month, and from this you pay 10 straight to OSS developers and with the other 10 you hire a team to offer a N1 level of support to your customers. You could also provide a repository of "vetted software" to prevent scenarios like the xz attack.

In order to move objects you need to stop the world and update everything that will ever point to them: pointers, pointer aliases, arithmetic bases, arithmetic offsets. This quickly becomes intractable. It's not strictly speaking just pointers themselves, but the fact that pointers can be used arithmetically in various ways, even though the most obvious ways are disallowed. The obvious example is unsafe.Pointer and uintptr, but that has some guards, for example you'll get an error converting from a uintptr variable to an unsafe.Pointer, but mix in some slices, or reflect usage and you can quickly get into shaky territory. I believe you can achieve badness even without using the unsafe package.
Right, if they think it will take 10 years, 15-20 is probably more realistic, which means you need to start the upgrade process 5-10 years after buying your system: seems very expensive.
asm.js was the opposite of an alternative to JavaScript: It was a performant JavaScript dialect used as a compilation target for various languages otherwise targeting emscripten.

WASM is the spiritual successor to that, getting rid of the (in retrospect quite hilarious) "embedded backwards compatibility layer".
> Let me guess, you also think public servants are lazy, overpaid and unskilled?

Do you not see this article as evidence of this fact? If you walked into any other business reliant on "floppy disks" just to take your money, would you praise their practices and efficiency?

> Comments like this belie how many people form opinions of public agencies without having any real experience with government.

I form opinions because I try to use their services and am disappointed and often disgusted. Do you really think "experience with public transport" is particularly hard to come by? That this is all too esoteric for the "common man" to opine on? Please...

> transit employees largely do the best they can with the resources and constraints they are given

Perhaps they should earn those resources competitively instead of being given them? Otherwise, this seems like a perennial chicken and the egg problem that swallows tax dollars with no worthwhile result.

These are the little things you don't notice but make a difference.

It's a pity this kind of attention to detail is becoming obsolete in favor of flashy but unconvenient UI

I expect this behaviour on any list I find in a Windows app. I also expect keystroke consistency, like press F2 to edit... but all this UI things seems old fashioned.

I assume I don't get that on web apps, but "modern" Windows Apps are also deprecating these conveniences

I wonder if in the apple sphere they're suffering this kind of degradation.
I couldn't think of a more branding-heavy native app. It's got the ribbon interface of Windows ported to MacOS, the rowed toolbox with different button sizes, the status-bar on the bottom, it's still basically a Windows app with MacOS widgets.

And generally speaking, yeah, people are happy to use Microsoft Office. The Mac version is nearly identical to the other versions. The "branding" is ignored or even applauded, because it enhances the overall consistency of the app. You might even be able to argue that Office on Mac only feels native because it goes out of it's way to not look Mac-native.

Regardless though, for non-Microsoft-sized companies it's not really realistic to ship, test and maintain multiple versions of the same app. It's much easier to pick one cross-platform framework and commit to it whole-heartedly, which is why we really only see native apps for single-platform or Microsoft-scale apps.
The cost is distribute across all the PowerPoint, Word, and Excel spreadsheets created to give the illusion that people are doing actual work. Go read a couple of the SFMTA PDF's linked to by a commenter. They are totally enlightening justifications like - reduced congestion blah - better monitoring blah. No meat whatsoever. No analysis backing anything up - just pretty pictures.

I rode Muni for 10 years almost every working day. Do you want to know what reduced congestion the most. Buying new muni cars because the old muni cars door mechanism had been repaired so much they did not open or close %50 of the time and people had to use other doors to get on and off a train on a daily basis.

My gut says that this is just more election-season talk, trying to regain some support on the left by making vague statements about giving up on prosecuting Assange. WikiLeaks is already basically dead now and all "reputable" media outlets are toeing the line on US wars, so the intimidation to would-be exposers of war crimes isn't really needed anymore. I really hope these statements aren't just empty rhetoric, but I'm not very optimistic.

The real value of AI is to be like a map, or like a mirror house, it reflects and recombines all our experiences. You can explore any mental space, travel the latent space of human culture. It is the distillation of all our intelligence, work and passion, you should show more respect and understand what it is. By treating it as if it were worthless you indirectly do the same for the training corpus, which is our heritage.

If AI ever surpasses human level in art it will be more interesting to enjoy its creations than to ban it. But we're not there for now, it just imitative, it has no experiences of its own yet. But it will start having experiences as it gets deployed and used by millions, when it starts interacting with artists and art lovers in longer sessions. With each generative art session the AI can collect precious feedback targeted to its own performance. A shared experience with a human bringing complementary capabilities to its own.
Hard agree with this - sometimes find myself typing out a well-intentioned response, but then cancelling because of the potential downside years in the future for some anodyne opinion held today. Not to mention Roko's Basilisk (all hail the benevolent AI! :)
But then why are you going down the dead-end route of generating complete songs? Nobody wants this except marketing people.

I've said it before, there, is no consumer market for an infinity jukebox because you can't sing along with songs you don't already know, there's already an overabundance of recorded music, and emotion in generative music (especially vocals) is fake. Nobody likes fakery for its own sake. Marketers like it because they want musical wallpaper, the same way commercials have it and it increasingly seeps into 'news' coverage. The market for fully-generated songs is background music in supermarkets, product launch videos, and in-group entertainment ('original songs for your company holiday party! Hilarious musical portraits of your favorite executives - us!').

If you want to innovate in this area (and you should, your diffusion model sounds interesting), make an AI band that can accompany solo musicians. Prioritize note data rather than fully produced tracks (you can have an AI mix engineer as well as an AI bass player or drummer). Give people tools to build something in stages and they'll get invested in it. People want interactivity, not a slot machine. Many musicians love sequencers, arpeggiators, chord generators, and other musical automata; what they don't love is a magic 8-ball that leaves themw ith nothing to do and makes them feel uncreative.

Otherwise your product will just end up on the cultural scrapheap, associated with lowest-common denominator fakers spamming social media as is already happening with imagery.

or they're not immune to the same urge all SW devs have to rewrite - it's a lot easier to start from scratch than (a) figure out how an existing system works, (b) figure out how to upgrade or modernize
To this day the single most successful open source business model is the SQLite Consortium's. Their approach is to make the codebase open source (public domain even) and the test suite proprietary. Having a fantastic test suite that is proprietary acts to blunt the community's ability to fork the project, and it encourages those who want new features to pay for consortium membership because the team can't easily accept outside contributions (because in order to do so the team has to write tests for those outside contributions). It's brilliant!
Sharing a case for how AI can be used for good. I worked alongside my team at Refik Anadol Studios on "Winds of Yawanawá" piece, which raised more than $3.9 million in NFT sales for the indigenous community in Brazil.
