I'm curious if you know what, at a switch level, would actually cause drops and buffering for a 1:N (near-) saturated multicast flow. If all the packets are coming from the same source machine at (perhaps) 9.9Gbps and flowing into the switch, I would expect the switch to robustly redirect all that data with near-zero latency or packet drops to all its output ports. I don't think 10G Ethernet has "backpressure" in a way that would allow some output ports to get slowed down.

If there are other data flows also going through the switch, that could obviously change things, and the sending computer could drop packets if there's jitter in how quickly the application produces them, but it seems impossible for the sending computer to burst packets into the switch any faster than it can handle because all the incoming packets are coming over the same 10G link.

Not an expert here, legitimately curious.

Lots of people here saying judges and lawyers are incredibly stupid. For decades there was a giant mystique surrounding software and computers, the belief that computers didn't make mistakes. And who promoted that belief? Computer and software companies. So they could make absurd amounts of money. Credit where its' due. Courts should have been much more critical, but they were getting hit with a cultural tidal wave generated by us.
LLMs: What if we did unlimited tokens instead?
Partnering with the best LLM providers in the world (because we love them all), and we see two gaps:
- The token based pricing model
- There is no agreed and universal common API (OpenAI has a slightly different API than google and same with anthropic).

So, we are running an experiment, a Poly-LLM Service

(you can play with it and read more at https://mdb.ai/llm-serve).

What's exciting?
- Unlimited tokens!!!

To make LLM-based applications more viable, we're exploring the possibilities of a world where we developers don't have to worry about price per token. Instead, as developers we want to focus on identifying the LLM that best meets our needs, considering various trade-offs such as throughput, context window size, and domain knowledge (e.g., coding, logic, etc.).
For this small release, we are starting with GPT-3.5-Turbo and comparable models, mostly because they have a great balance between quality, throughput and context window, making them viable for many future production applications!

- A single universal API for the most popular LLMs:
The ability to query all models, including anthropic and gemini models, through the same openAI completions API standard, this helps maintain clean code. We handle the translation and brokering for you.
In this release, we support models, like: GPT-3.5, LLama2-70b, CodeLlama-70b, Mixtral, gemini-pro, dbrx, etc (a complete list https://docs.mdb.ai/docs/api/models), although the idea is not new, we felt it was important for there to be a service that was not opinionated between open source and closed source models

Once again, we look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback.
I like the idea, the graphics are a little too dark and please enter an email as contact.

I found that you can ignore news stories from certain outlets in Apple News, which I chose to do with certain celebrity gossip outlets that had been taking over my feed. Apparently this only replaces the stories with a placeholder that says "You've blocked this news source". Most of the time that's fine. But place that in the context of how they group related news stories in the feed: if you've got a group of news stories that reads "World War 3 has just started," "President So-and-so dies in attack," "You've blocked this news source," well, you might just be tempted to click on that blocked story. I'd rather they remove it from the feed entirely.

Me too. Atari, toward the end, had even mastered color vector displays that look excellent!

Look for clips of "Star Wars" in action.

The 70's was anni interesting time. Atari was employing dynamic vector displays capable of real time motion.

Tektronix was using vectors with their storage CRT tech. Basically the vectors got painted onto the tube phosphors, thus displaying the image without the need to refresh.

4k resolution (vector coordinate space) ended up being a thing!

Of course the Average Joe has disadvantages compared to a hedge fund or people who are experts in a field and spend the bulk of their life dedicated to some aspect that the Average Joe is not dedicated towards.

If Average Joe wants returns comparable to these hedge funds, then they should stop trying to time to market and instead stick to diversified ETFs and stop worrying about millisecond differences in the stock market.

Believe it or not, if Average Joe does that they can actually beat most hedge funds over a long time horizon [1].

I don’t use Firefox often outside of cross browser testing, and this initially surprised me a little too.

The debt was built up majority bailing out the banks from the 2008 housing crisis to the cost of $85B. If it was spent on welfare, it was on corporate welfare.

Ah - I was wondering about that. When I lived in HK long ago it was famous for not having any import export controls apart from for drugs and weapons. It made it a very cost effective place to trade from on account of the lack of bureaucracy and paperwork.
There's a big difference between open source projects driven by professional organizations and the rest of them. In the general open source world you could be locked in an argument with a pre-teen who has never had a job and who is for some reason the gatekeeper of a git repo. In the corporate world there's a top-down mandate that says make this laptop boot in one second and you will get paid a bonus. Big difference for outcomes.

Great they share specific metrics and give a sense of how they evaluate companies, although all First Round articles have this tendency to be so overdesigned it takes away from the content. The discussion on Lenny's podcast is easier to digest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc1Uwhfxacs

I think the 4 P's is a valuable framework for getting to PMF: Persona, Problem, Promise (Pitch), and Product. Usually startups that don't work have a fundamental problem with a few of these (they try to solve too many problems for too many people in a subpar way - i.e. they don't have a strong answer to: which problem are you solving, for who and why it is better than alternatives?). Startups that are willing to iterate over the 4 Ps have a shot at getting to PMF, those that don't usually will struggle and then die.

Allow me to further point out that 'just live with your parents' requires that your parents be close to your job. However the lion's share of jobs (worth having) are in Dublin. Therefore if you're not from Dublin you don't get the free parents rent, you pay the same $3k that you would rather pay as a mortgage or save as as downpayment, and are then outcompeted by those who were able to avail of the benefit.

Therefore what we're seeing is a total destruction of wealth for anyone outside of Dublin.

Nevermind the oft maligned truth that your ability to pay €X in monthly rent is insufficent evidence of your ability to pay €0.8X in a mortgage thanks to the new rules brought in after the previous generation a) got their houses and b) ruined everything with bailout debt.

I won't pay for Youtube, ever, because even if I pay, I still get sponsored segments in videos. To skip these, I have to get SponsorBlock so I might as well block ads too. Maybe if Youtube Premium also gave access to the same videos without sponsored segments I would reconsider.

The thing is Youtube screwed themselves years ago: they were dicks to content creators (by being overly agressive with demonetizing, even giving creators money to DMCA trolls and completely ignoring fair use laws) so they couldn't rely on ad money and had to fallback to sponsoring instead. The shit situation we're in today il all Youtube's fault.

On the other hand, I pay for Crunchyroll because it has a huge catalog for 5 bucks a month, and for Netflix because they never pissed me yet. However if they increase their subscription price one more time (>13.49€ per month), I'm out for good.

I already unsubscribed from Disney+ because they pissed me off by removing shows without any warning, and from Prime Video because I got tired of finding movies just to realize they weren't actually included in the subscription.
Very cool site, however...

...my takeaway is a little different than what is in the commentary box (for the year 2017 in particular). The distribution of incomes don't actually look that different, to my eye.

If this is the grand reveal -- showing that childhood heavily influences future financial mobility -- it's not super obvious. I mean, yes, there seem to be a bit of a skew towards low earners in the bottom tranche -- but really it looks like the group that has had some astounding headwinds is kinda sorta doing about the same as the 'no adverse experiences' group? That is amazing as well!

It'd be nice to be able to get to the underlying data more easily, and drill into see the statistical conclusions. The horizontal bands not being of even length doesn't help either.

Edit: I don't think I was correctly taking into account the "no data" group, which makes the skew much more obvious (that the "many adverse experience" group has substantially lower earning power). I wish that the horizontal groups were of the same length, and the "no data" group was simply removed. I think that would make a transformative difference in terms of actually being able to understand this visually and intuitively.

Edit 2: Also how amazing is it that this study got done! The link to the study is very hard to find on this site, and also is wrong. The correct link (I think anyway) is https://www.bls.gov/nls/nlsy97.htm

Others have pointed out that this amount is comfortable enough relative to GDP, but I also want to point of your method of arguing is dishonest. There will never be a day where the entire debt of a country is divided up among the citizens and then they each would have to pay that amount, so saying it’s 60k debt per each soul is kind of like a football fan saying that each Kansas City Chiefs fan each won .00001% of a Super Bowl Trophy last year. It’s sovereign debt.

We are paid exorbitantly to work hard to maintain the illusion that the computers are operating correctly.

Any reasonably competent software developer or engineer should know that just because the customer dashboard is green and everything is working as expected doesn't mean that there isn't an absolute dumpster fire raging in the background (at least, having worked in tech for 20 years across many different verticals, that has been my experience).
Yeah looks like the calculation doesn't renormalize the final thrust vector after adding together the component inputs. A simplified example for a 2d game would be like this:

var playerX_input = Input.GetHorizontal(); // float in range -1 to 1
var playerY_input = Input.GetVertical(); // float in range -1 to 1

var playerVelocity = new Vector2(playerX_input, playerY_input);
// The player can now move 1 unit/frame in X and 1 unit/frame in Y, which means that if they're moving diagonally, the length of their velocity vector is the length of the vector (1,1) which is sqrt(2) (~1.41)

// This can be corrected by doing something like
if(playerVelocity.length > 1)
{
playerVelocity = playerVelocity.normalized();
}
Well Ohlone Greenway is coincident with the BART tracks. BART still operates there, just above/below the walking path.

The other example I gave replaced a railway that had been abandoned for a long time. I agree that rail needs a revitalization in the US, but at least here in Ohio, the problem is not right of way, but instead changing population patterns and competition from more convenient travel.

I'd love to take Amtrak to Chicago for a weekend trip, but it costs as much as a plane flight and takes longer than driving a car or riding in a bus. Fix that problem using the existing right of way, then we can talk about building more.

In my experience migrating build systems is always way harder than you'd think because you kind of have to do it all at once, everything depends on it, and they're usually pretty hairy. Also testing them is very slow, and they're a moving target.

It's also difficult to justify time spent on it because so many people are like "but it works already".
Do you all really think AI is going to cause this massive disruption everyone keeps predicting? It feels like we keep going down technological roads that are good enough to get sensationalist demos and articles but then getting that last 10% never really happens.

Just yesterday I was listening to Andrew Yang describe his 2020 UBI ideas. It reminded me how scared we all were that every person who drives for a living would be out of a job soon. Now 5 years later we don't even talk about it anymore, but we are terrified of AI replacing all our creatives. Do you really think that is going to happen? In what timeframe?
No, I'm asking for an example of an idea that an LLM might produce that is too dangerous to implement but nobody at the hackathon has the relevant experience to notice. You can shut down any endeavour by imagining boogeymen that aren't actually real.
The outpost deployment in financial services that I've seen is the opposite in cloud extension.

Shrinking GDP, yes, likely to move from technical to actual recession, sure, but "in a deep recession" is factually incorrect [1]:

"Ireland officially fell into recession last year as multinational exports slumped in the face of weaker global demand but the domestic economy still managed to grow, aided by stronger-than-expected consumer spending. Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures published on Friday show the economy as a whole shrank by 3.2 per cent in GDP (gross domestic product) terms in 2023. The CSO noted that the more globalised sectors of the economy, including the multinational-dominated “Industry” sector, contracted for the first time since 2013. This was “driven largely by a fall of 4.8 per cent in exports,” the agency said. The figures show the economy was effectively in a technical recession for the entirety of 2023 with GDP contracting in all four quarters. The domestic economy as measured by modified domestic demand (MDD), a more reliable barometer of domestic activity, grew by 0.5 per cent on the back of a 3.1 per cent increase in consumer spending. Consumer spending was underpinned by strong employment growth with figures published last week showing a record 2.71 million people are now employed in the economy. Incomes also rose in real terms by 3.3 per cent, the CSO said. Worryingly, however, MDD contracted by 0.4 per cent in the final quarter of last year on the back of a fall-off in private-sector investment. Another quarterly contraction would turn Ireland’s technical recession into a real one."

Another thing about EV that gamblers conveniently forget is that it only matters if you are repeating the experiment many times. So if the lottery odds are 1:100M, and you're only buying one ticket, your odds are effectively zero, and it doesn't matter if the payout is $200M, $500M, $1B or $10B.

Isn't it well known for example that banks have some rules or algorithms that flag potentially illegal activity, and those rules are secret? Revolut just tells you your transaction is suspect and it will take more time to go through, or just tells you you are suspect, and your account is being closed. They don't tell you what the rules are and which one you broke.

Or if Google thinks you are cheating on ads somehow, they just ban you with no information. Intentionally, so you can't construct a cheat that avoids the cheat detection algorithms. This has been discussed at nauseam, and you're saying it doesn't sound true.

More importantly, what exactly do you think "secret" in "secret service" means? Or "classified" information? Are you actually arguing that these things don't exist? Do you think while the location of secret agents is a secret, the hiring rules and the training and the infiltration strategies are public? Go try to find them.
