There is a big interest of what Fugaku and Dr. Matsuoka are doing here and it seems that this article is missing it entirely.

HPC development is not your standard dev workflow where your software can be easily developed and tested locally on your laptop.

Most software will requires a proper MPI environment with a parallel file system and (often) a beefy GPU.

Most development on a supercomputer is done on a debug partition. A small subset of the supercomputer reserved for interactive usage. That allows to test the scalability of the program, hunts Heisenbug related to concurrency, access large datasets, etc...

But Debug partitions are problematic: Make it too small and your scientists & devs loose productivity. Make it too large and you are wasting your supercomputer resources to something else than production jobs.

The Cloud solves this issue. You can spawn your cluster, debug and test your jobs, destroy your cluster. You do not need very large scale nor extreme performance, you need flexibility, isolation and interactivity. The Cloud gives you that because of the virtualization.

and nothing to say about the WCK?
The issue wouldn't be "business process patents", it'd be trade secrets. If Amazon is having to do research via shell companies to figure out what those improvements are and copy them, it seems like a pretty straightforward argument that they're non-public competitive secrets. The misrepresentation is what's improper, since the information presumably wouldn't be available to Amazon directly.

I think that strips away way too much. What you describe is “counting words”. It produces 50,000-dimensional vectors (most of them zero for the vast majority of texts) for each text, so it’s not a proper embedding.

What makes embeddings useful is that they do dimensionality reduction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionality_reduction) while keeping enough information to keep dissimilar texts away from each other.

I also doubt your claim “and the results aren't totally terrible”. In most texts, the dimensions with highest values will be for very common words such as “a”, “be”, etc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English)

A slightly better simple view of how embeddings can work in search is by using principal component analysis. If you take a corpus, compute TF-IDF vectors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf–idf) for all texts in it, then compute the n ≪ 50,000 top principal components of the set of vectors and then project each of your 50,000-dimensional vectors on those n vectors, you’ve done the dimension reduction and still, hopefully, are keeping similar texts close together and distinct texts far apart from each other.
I think it is good news. Wars of the future can be fought with machines and the country with the most resources will win.

One thing that struck me in my visit to Australia was the prevalence of gambling machines in casual locations, like corner stores and coffee shops. I used to be a lot more libertarian about things like gambling and personal drug consumption, but now I grapple more deeply with the idea of behaviors that people need saving from themselves.

> Keep in mind that a lot of the US' current growth comes from its huge budget deficit

I don't see that.

Most innovation in the US is from private companies and private investment.

Government spending is mostly wasteful, and on things that have little to do with growth, such as social security, medicare, military ...

https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-bud...

Infrastructure in the US is crumbling, education is a disaster (esp. college costs - crippling), medical costs out of control, housing costs out of control ... It's amazing that there is at least some surface appearance of the economy being healthy, but it's really a sham.
I'm always amazed at how fiercely some defend measuring by volume instead of by mass. I've had tougher discussions on Reddit about "cups" than about nuclear energy.

Sometimes I think people just lack experience with a good scale. Once you understand what the tare button is for, there really aren't any problems. Also, with a good scale, after you press tare, it can count into the negative. So, if I need 10 grams of something and don't want to dirty another small bowl, I can place the jar with the item on the scale, press tare, and remove stuff until it reads -10 grams.
Awesome! There isn't any real air-to-air combat nowadays though, so I wonder how they test the results?

Saving the world and "passion" is bullshit
Pretty much any big project at a big company is going to have a “guidelines on what to say if the press or someone asks you about your work” document. It’s mandatory training at most companies. I’ve never been on a project that didn’t, and none of them are things I would consider even close to unethical.

This team sounds interesting but I get the feeling the WSJ is trying hard to make it seem like some sort of clandestine spy operation. This practice isn’t uncommon… I’ve worked at airlines and they sometimes have people fly on a competitor airline and they don’t broadcast broadly “hey united flight attendant!! I work at American Airlines!” but it isn’t because they’re trying to be a spy.

The subsidiary is literally called “big river” (Amazon is a big river), the employees of Big River listed amazon as their employer on LinkedIn, and it took a simple google search to see the owner of Big River was Amazon… they weren’t exactly trying hard to hide it. A spy operation this was not.
The Fourth Mass Coral Bleaching Event Is Underway
Just out of curiosity, how much better do you think this is than a decent 4K TV?
The reason I ask, my main "monitor" is a 55" Samsung UHD display. I could find the model number but it's not important because it's decidedly "not fancy", something that cost like $450 in 2020. I plug in my Macbook via HDMI with a 4k@60hz thunderbolt adapter, and I have a decent sound bar plugged into the TV and I listen to audio via HDMI ARC.

I really like it; 4k is enough pixels to be pretty sharp, even for high-contrast stuff like text, as well as enough room to able to cram a bunch of stuff on screen. Also, my brain is kind of bad and as a result I am able to comprehend what I'm reading if the text is huge. I have not measured the latency on this screen yet, but FWIW I was able to beat Donkey Kong Country 2 (a pretty challenging game) with the MiSTer plugged into it.

People have told me that dedicated monitors are better though, both in refresh rate and just in general for more desktopey stuff...do you think that's true? How much more worth it do you think that is? I've debated buying a dedicated monitor, but getting something of a comparable size and resolution is pretty pricey.
The TLDR is: an AI subtitle editor for videos.

The longer story is:

I started working on an AI-empowered subtitle editor in 2020 before the GPT boom. The idea was great but unfortunately my work-status didn't allow me to launch. So I waited until everything was proper, and then launched Double Subtitles late 2023.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my first customers.

A few differentiators with Double Subtitles are:

1. The speech-to-text response time is industry leading
2. It supports up to 1 hour long videos while most competitors support 5-10 minutes max
Is that from an orm? Looks like a query builder to me.

The main thing you left out is the type conversions with plain sql. So a fair comparison would include the e2e flow, imo.

That said, your point is very much valid because of the nested parentheses - I think the main issue is that SQL is an “infix”(?) dsl? It’s strange because Rust has perfectly good proc macros for this type of stuff.
Can you point out the lies? I'm genuinely trying to find them, and the CFPB article does not provide any evidence other than a few marketing quotes.

I'm very sure all the ISA issues are clearly stated in the contract. Everything is very clear about the fact that you will pay a minimum of $17-18k, and a max of $30k as a percentage of your monthly income. It was very clear that missing a payment would incur the entire loan being owed immediately (presumably it would go to collections).

The "hidden $4000 finance charge" I don't really understand, given that it is apparently built into the loan. It's not like you get charged an extra $4000 on top of the $30k (assuming you pay that).

I'd still choose this route over 4 years plus college tuition for a CS degree.

I worked for a recruiting firm in the past (first job out of college) that changed its name every 5-8 years. After I'd been there 2ish years I finally got an answer WHY they did that. Basically, they would build up a bad reputation and the easiest way to get rid of it was to just change names. Most companies that disliked them wouldnt associated the old name with the new name.

Shockingly it worked. Some companies that would have never worked with "oldCompanyName" were happy clients of "newCompanyName".
No. It is just as illegal for newspapers.

Why is OpenSSL using punycode? To do internationalized domain name parsing?
This blog was created in 2004 which coincides with the peak of Alton Brown's show "Good Eats" and the introduction of more "scientific cooking". Perhaps the name was inspired by that? Though the "about" section on the webpage claims the name was chosen without too much consideration.

> About the name: Cooking For Engineers
Michael selected the name "Cooking For Engineers" on a whim. He has no idea if it means "To cook for the purposes of providing engineers with food" or "To instruct engineers in the science and art of cooking". He likes the ambiguity, and other people seem to find the name intriguing and even interesting. He regrets that the name can be misread (when in a rush) to be "Cooking Foreigners".

This is just some food for thought, but I think taking a scientific approach to home cooking can make it more accessible to men. By that I mean: making home cooking seem less like caregiving and more like "rational science" legitimizes it as a masculine activity. Thus allowing men to enjoy it, judgment-free.

Hyperaldosteronism is a disease of the adrenal gland, so its diagnosis would fall under an endocrinologist.

Most people think of cardilogy when thinking about blood pressure. General physicians included. That's natural. Heartbeat ->blood pressure.

Less think of a nephrologist. But they still get recommended by general physicians. The kidneys play a big role in BP regulation.

I never had an endocrinologist recommended. Never.

But aldosterone is produced in the adrenals. It regulates water/salt retention.

I had been experiencing edema for many months after stopping spironolactone. I thought the weight gain was from me getting fatter. But it was water retention. My ankles were swollen. This should have been the first red flag.

I was also responsive to spironolactone when I started it again. I lost 15 lbs immediately (lost the water retention). My BP dropped significantly. That should have been another indicator that it could be aldosterone-related.

I don't think it's on the cardiologist/nephrologist's radar. They have different subsystem concerns entirely.
Hey thanks! I'm happy to answer technical questions, I'm on Telegram at the same username I use here (without the 4).
> I liked the idea of incentive aligned ISAs

The problem is that incentives are definitely not aligned. Once the student signs the ISA, they can put significant resources into helping the student get the best possible job, or they can put nothing into it and take a big share of the income the student would have otherwise earned. Incentives are only aligned if the ISA is based on the additional income from going through the program, and there's no way to measure that.

I think what we've learned is that this can only work if there's an outside regulator, such as an accreditation body, preventing bootcamps from taking the parasitic approach.
I'm curious what the performance impact is like; I assume there has to be some slow down because of the interception of system calls?
Evolution in humans, from an atheist perspective, is consistent with the idea of a designer: humans are the designer.

Sexual selection in humans is a psychological phenomenon, and it’s subject to all of our most hifalutin ideas.

You have an opinion about what “god” wants and express it through sexual selection, thus influencing our collective evolution in that direction.

An alternative explanation for the finding is that high IQ people are more likely to have mentally stimulating work and can lose more of their mental capacity without appearing demented.

You can't easily change peoples' jobs, but you could do a randomized trial where the treatment group is encouraged to take up a mentally stimulating hobby, say
Scrabble, chess or bridge. It would be great if taking up such a hobby staved
off dementia, but I am skeptical that it does.

'Researchers have found that the more people use their brains at work, the better they seem to be protected against thinking and memory problems that come with older age.

In a study of more than 7,000 Norwegians in 305 occupations, those who held the least mentally demanding jobs had a 66% greater risk of mild cognitive impairment, and a 31% greater risk of dementia, after the age of 70 compared with those in the most mentally taxing roles.

“It really shows how important work is,” said Dr Trine Edwin, a geriatrician and postdoctoral fellow at Oslo university hospital. “It’s important to go to work and use your brain, and to use your brain to learn new things.”'
> Russia is a minor player compared to China, a distraction that was welcomed by China with open arms as it helps divide and weaken the West.

How does that follow? The war united the west, not divide it.

> China is the only one actually capable of influencing the world to embrace despotism and collectivism at the expense of freedom.

You mean china is the one forcing collectivism ( EU ) on europe? What is 'the west' other than collectivism?

So many stupid people watching stupid youtube videos and regurgitating nonsense. You probably have a brain. Try using it sometimes.

The most despotic entities in the world isn't china, it's the US and the EU. The most collectivist entities it the world isn't china, it's 'the west'.

Is china forcing everyone to be like them? Are they exporting communism everywhere? No. Guess who is trying to force everyone to be like them? The west.
I don't think that's a straightforward argument. It's certainly not a completely unreasonable argument, but if Amazon can determine these things from using the publicly-facing services the way they're intended to be used, then it's quite reasonable to argue those competitive advantages are not "non-public".

I generally view trade secrets through a very conservative lens, >90% of the time, if it smells like a trade secret violation, I firmly believe that it very much is a violation. Most people think I usually take this too far for their liking. So I'm already biased towards thinking this could be a violation, and I'm still concluding that it probably isn't. (Though trying to ever guess what the verdict of a USA vs. FAAMG case, or whether the USA will even pursue the case, is about as fruitful as reading tea leaves).

Whether it's an Xbox is arguable, but for the purposes of the topic and the post, you're mostly arguing semantics.

If one were to "push a Honda Civic to the limits" with an array of engine and suspension modifications, for purposes of discussion you're going to sound like you're just splitting hairs by asking "Is it really still a Civic, tho??", even if you could be technically correct.

The author has the right to title their content as they desire and you can just rewrite it as "Modding the OG Xbox to within an inch of its life" in your head...

In a small skirmish in which the side with the AI has a lot of resources, sure.

In a large scale war, I’m not so sure. A fire-and-forget weapon with a 40km range is expensive and might be a scarce resource. Bullets are much cheaper, and if the AI can fly itself close enough to shoot you, it can do so inexpensively.

And this is not to mention that a 40km range weapon requires targeting that works at 40km.

For others that have had this issue too: Cut your toe nails in a straight line. I used to cut them in a curved line, a 'C' kind of shape. Don't do that. Cut them in a '|' kind of shape. Yes, you'll have a big overhang on the edges, but give your toe time to adapt.

I've had a few of these procedures too and it never really stuck for me. Ingrown toenails kept being a problem. Then I started cutting my toenails in the flat / straight '|' sort of way and I've not have a problem since.

I figure it's worth a shout out to the few of you out there that need the help. But, again, it may not work for you too.
