The memory bandwidth of the M2 Ultra is around 800GB/s verses 1008 GB/s for the 4090. While it’s true the M2 has neither the bandwidth or the GPU power, it is not limited to 24G of VRAM per card. The 192G upper limit on the M2 Ultra will have a much easier time running inference on a 70+ billion parameter model, if that is your aim.

Besides size, heat, fan noise, and not having to build it yourself, this is the only area where Apple Silicon might have advantage over a homemade 4090 rig.
This isn’t a hypothesis. This is a well documented event.
.. to emotionally invested. She saw some stuff on their discord from the founder that was honestly .. weird if not just plain neglegent (the gdpr arguments, he's wrong for the record) .. the tax stuff. She posted an article.

He reached out to her via email to set up a call. She demurred and asked him to stop contacting her, he persisted and wrote a petulant novella of an email. She asserted that he stop contacting her again. He seems to have finally taken the hint.

I think install instructions belong in README. It's always nice to see "pip install foo" in a readme letting me know it's properly packaged and not something I'll have to compile myself or something just to try it.
> So how can one argue that it wasn't the intent of the law if it's written plainly in the law?

Again, in this case, that exception seems highly likely to have been crafted to permit a practice common at the time, not a practice that became common 40 years later. You pointed that gap out; you can't have it both ways.

Bills being passed that don't reflect legislative intent is hardly unheard of: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/07/minnesota-legal...

"Here’s something you don’t see every day: On Friday, THC-infused edibles and beverages became legal in the great state of Minnesota, after a law containing the legalization measure was included in a health and human services funding bill. How did this measure get through? Critically, a key Republican state senator who co-chaired the committee that passed it didn’t read the text closely enough."

> It seems like you use "loophole" as a synonym for "things I don't like but are permitted".

Yes, that's precisely the definition of one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loophole "In a loophole, a law addressing a certain issue exists, but can be legally circumvented due to a technical defect in the law, such as a situation where the details are under-specified."
PCIe P2P still has to go up to a central hub thing and back because PCIe is not a bus. That central hub thing is made by very few players(most famously PLX Technologies) and it costs a lot.
Cliff introduced a useful device for makers, open sourced his embedded rust firmware, and got to improve his embedded async OS in the process. By sharing his work with the world, it could inspire others to give this hard work a try. I really don't think he spent just an afternoon on this, but whatever effort was spent can only in the most cynical lens be viewed as a loss. It was a triumphant hobby project.

I don't think the US government even has mechanisms by which they can forcibly take money from the rich and the country is so corrupt that enforcing any kind of rule of law (which means law that applies to the rich, too) would cause large amounts of capital flight which would cause economic problems and instability for those in power.

Your average american doesn't understand that holding someone powerful to account is going to be personally painful (the idea contained in "freedom isn't free").

Yellen has even poked at this problem by trying to get other countries to band together and not accept billionaires fleeing from taxes and law enforcement.
> Write regularly [...] mostly it's that they keep my attention by publishing regularly!

I'm going to strongly disagree with this. Keeping my attention is a cost, not a goal. You should publish because you have something that is worth my attention. Not publish to get my attention just for attention's sake.
> Its essentially the same thing with just different sytnax.

Indeed. Hence why I said that they can both be considered stubs (or whatever you want to call them). We already went over this. But one comes without all the devastating baggage of mockery, which is a pretty big deal.

> The nice thing about these mocker libraries is they integrate with the testing framework to show nicely formatted error messages about what exactly went wrong

Except you also need all of that same information when the same thing happens in production – for your logs, the end user, or even plain functionality – so you haven't gained anything. You're just duplicating efforts for no reason.

That or, knowing the average programmer, they'll just haphazardly throw in that information and not test it since they think mockery gives them the information anyway, and then the future programmer won't be able to figure out when it does some particular thing, which would have been avoided if properly documented in test. Indeed, programmers by and large seem to hate other programmers for some reason. That doesn't seem like a good justification, though.

> Essentially if you take your concept further and try build a general purpose library for building out those stub functions you'll get something that looks like the mock library.

It may be that mockery is just a poor implementation of the concept. There are some obvious improvements that could be made to mockery to at least begin to help with its grievous problems, so we know it is not as good as it could be. Is there a tool that does it better?

Or is this a classic case of someone taking DRY much too literally? As the Go proverb goes: A little copying is better than a little dependency. Is an abstraction truly warranted in the first place?

It's a little too strong of a claim. Plenty of poorly designed steel bridges from the 19th century have collapsed as well, despite the superior material.

Rule #15: "Consider all labor and output constrained machinery equity often bring hidden variable costs and liabilities. Thus it is generally best practice to exchange in-house production stability with purchased supply/service chains to externalize risk."

If you have to ask this question, than your survival as a company should avoid naively competing with established contract manufacturers. Startup probability of success is 1:22, and ratio of product to service company survival rate is 1:6. That means even if you are an expert and do everything right, the chances of survival of half a business cycle is 1:132... The investors are already acutely aware of these numbers if they are competent.

Poor example, given many photographs shoot raw precisely because it gives them more room for artistic decisions in post. Obviously the standardized algorithm should have basic factors like gamma and general phase shifting incorporated, but the idea of being able to adjust the maps delta between arbitrary adjacent inputs is of questionable benefit to the community. It’s akin to adjusting levels via curves with many points, and it’d be incorrect to say folks are taking artistic liberties when they do that.

While I understand fairly well what "Flagship" means in business context... my immediate assumption would be "top EC model", considering that Ford is an automotive brand.

To give you another example: if I read "Uniqlo flagship in Berlin is plagued by mold" I immediately understand the implied term (flagship STORE) but if the title say omits "in Berlin" I would try to figure out if maybe there is a new type of mold that destroy... what? Heattech? Pima cotton?

The idea that a "strong focus on aesthetics" contributed to the failure of a bridge doesn't make any logical sense. Employing a strong focus on aesthetics doesn't preclude also having the necessary focus on stability and safety. Bridges fail because they were not designed or engineered properly.
> Blue lets you post really really long tweets. Thats potentially interesting and useful

You mean degraded the user experience. People used to split their long-form thoughts out into a series of tweets ("a thread 1/8 -->") which I could read by simply scrolling down.

Now they still do this, but half of the tweets are too long to fit above the fold. I'll get to tweet #3 and have to click into it to read the text. Then scroll to tweet 4 and do it again. By the time I'm done I have to click back half a dozen times to return to my feed.

That or they post an essay in one tweet which is just terrible. Bad font, hard to read. And besides, I didn't come to Twitter to read long-form content. Make it concise.

It's amazing how one little change can ruin the UX. It's almost as if Elon didn't think through the downstream impact of his change, or why tweet limits existed in the first place.
There is no such thing as a private deal with the government that is extorting you for money to give to legacy media companies.

It's like calling armed robbery by a cop under official orders by the president a private deal. Not a thing.
I think my original comment about "flagship" was worded poorly, and has led this thread down a path I didn't intend.

I know what "flagship" means, and I did correctly assume that the article was trying to convey importance of _something_ related to Ford (my first thought was a flagship car model, but after reading the article I can infer it's about some sort of factory). My gripe with the title is that the article doesn't actually explain why or how it is important, and just assumes you will take the "Ford's Flagship..." description at face value and trust the author that it's important. It's unsurprising to me that an LLM would interpret it this way, because you asked it to just interpret the headline, which it did.

However, in _my_ reading of the article, I'm skeptical of the "Flagship" claim in the article because 1) it is never really explained and 2) the article seems to be going extra hard (too hard) to imply this is a big deal by attaching a bunch of other names (Joe Biden, Department of Energy, Inflation Reduction Act, multiple contracting companies, a SK investment company, state of Kentucky) to the project, but again never really explains why or how. It's almost like the journalistic equivalent of an appeal to authority, I guess.
I'm not in on the hit piece theory here but I do think that anything novel-ish often gets mentioned no matter how relevant it is to a larger topic.

The Gitlab one is actually maintained. They haven't been using GitHub for a while now. (Plenty of updates to the extension have occurred within the past 6 months, the date of the last commit on GitHub)
It's stable, cheap, carries heat OK enough, so it gets pumped through the pipe in the ground to collect heat and bring it back up to the heat pump.

If there's a leak it's bad since it's quite toxic to organic life. If you collect in soil rather than drilling into rock tree roots might push around the collector pipe a bit over the years but I've never heard about that being a problem.
> I trust that they aren't logging my searches

I did trust that, before reading this article. The founder's attitude toward privacy -- based on what he's said in the Discord -- worries me, and some of that trust has been eroded.
Fixed large bar exists in some older accelerator cards like e.g. iirc the MI50/MI60 from AMD (the data center variant of the Radeon Vega VII, the first GPU with PCIe 4.0, also famous for dominating memory bandwidth until the RTX 40-series took that claim back. It had 16GB of HBM delivering 1TB/s memory bandwidth).

It's notably not compatible with some legacy boot processes and iirc also just 32bit kernels in general, so consumer cards had to wait for resizable BAR to get the benefits of large BAR (that being notably direct flat memory mapping of VRAM so CPUs and PCIe peers can directly read and write into all of VRAM, without dancing through a command interface with doorbell registers. AFAIK it allows a GPU to talk directly to NICs and NVMe drives by running the driver in GPU code (I'm not sure how/if they let you properly interact with doorbell registers, but polled io_uring as an ABI would be no problem (I wouldn't be surprised if some NIC firmware already allows offloading this).
This was very This was very unorthodox but about 2 years ago a used an app called Mimo. This was great to learn the very basics. Being a mobile app i also thought was helpful since if I was bored on my phone, I would just do a lesson.

After getting through their courses you will know the basics. Then I would suggest following a tutorial or two (only do 1 or 2, you don’t want to keep copying code like this you stop learning). This will help you learn how to structure projects.

After that try to built small things on your own and use AI to help debug.

Doing this I went from knowing absolutely nothing to now being able to built small projects on my own.

Here is a link to my last project for example. I am very happy with what I have learned over the past 2 years.

> Plenty of poorly designed steel bridges from the 19th century have collapsed as well

That's true. But I only meant that particular bridge, which did last for 100+ years. So, when the architects and the engineers go to the archives to relearn a few things, they can focus on the ones which haven't collapsed.
Certain types of plywood are a magnet for mold growth. The natural oils in the wood (like birch) plus certain types of glues that contain organic compounds are the perfect environment for mold to thrive.

From my understanding, marine-grade plywoods are more resistant to mold growth, and of course, you could paint the plywood with mold-inhibiting paint.

This is a supply chain issue that needs addressed at the source (supplier level).

There are well known charts that define safe operating environments for temperature and humidity. If you go outside these bounds, its easy to calculate the number of days until an object develops mold.

Worked in software for manufacturing for some time. The best thing to do is learn about how processes came into manufacturing and the whys—the tech is less important. Simple concepts like introducing Kanban for inventory allowed us to go from month-long lead times to days.

The mold itself doesn't cause a bacterial infection, but it can encourage the conditions for a bacterial infection. Pneumonia would be the most well known example.

Anecdotally, my understanding is the flu itself isn't what's dangerous to at risk populations. Its' the pneumonia that you're much more likely to get.
If interest rates plummet and people start purchasing houses that they can only afford due to cheap loans, I would expect home prices to… rise. As they did before.
Socked here is just "hit or struck" which isn't that weird of a phrase to use in the context. We use it all the time for natural disasters, cities are socked by a hurricane.
For me it's the opposite: why do we have a gazillion of window managers (that just manage windows), and so few desktop environments that provide a complete and coherent setup?

It's especially annoying in the world of tiling window managers. There are few options for a desktop environment with a solid tiling WM. Regolith is one (based on i3 / Sway), and I thank those who develop it, but it's patching together a bunch of independently developed tools and you can tell when you try to change some things and have to deal with disparate config files.

UTC is not a representation or a display-format.

That display-format appears to be (derived from?) ISO 8601. And I think ISO 8601 is not bound to UTC; it could equally be used to represent Solar Time. Possibly the most natural representation of a UTC instant would be an integer, because fundamentally UTC is a count of milliseconds.

None of this is relevant to me except the allegation that privacy isn't taken seriously.

I don't think the word "flagship" is the issue. The issue is that no other noun follows. If this was "flagship factory" or "flagship truck" it would be much clearer. To me the headline wasn't clearer do to "flagship" being followed by "socked" which I am most commonly used to seeing as a noun rather than a verb, especially in a news article rather than a conversation in a pub.
I think that an underrated element in the success of early WoW is how it’s not all that complicated or technical and generally didn’t take itself that seriously (if even if some players did).

Modern MMOs are almost the exact opposite, especially in raids where insanely complex encounter design has become the norm. That’s great for the handful of people who enjoy that but not so great for the wider playerbase. Old WoW worked because it was playable for an absurdly wide audience — back in TBC I regularly ran into everybody from teenagers to age 70+ retirees and other demographics that sit solidly outside the usual gamer crowd.

What on earth are you talking about? The engineer of record for the project was a man. And I don't understand the implication of your comment – do you really believe that not only was the engineering team led by women, but they also refused to collaborate with men in any capacity? The project had to be approved by a PE at some point, do you think that a female PE is somehow less capable than a male one?
