Hey, og_kalu, I vouched for your comment but it stays dead. It's not you, it was me who was out of line, with my comment: "wishful thinking"; that's not a very polite thing to say. And my original comment was a bit prissy, too.

To be honest, I'm always a bit jumpy around your comments because I've noticed them all over the place and they're often grayed-out. You kind of tend to go for the jugular. I don't mean that as a good thing. I think others have noticed it too and you get more reaction than you should. That's a shame, because it's clear there's lots of interesting conversations to be had, given you have such strong views and you seem to have done quite a bit of reading; though only on one side of things.

Anyway sorry for starting it this time around and that you got dead'ed, I hope we get to disagree more in the future.

A text in the original language would evoke a certain combination of feeling and understanding in the reader.

A paragraph footnote might accurately convey the intended meaning but it won't evoke the same feelings. A good author or translator cares about both these things.
I was talking to someone the other day and saying I think Oxide or a similar company should reintroduce the mini computer category. Either a dorm fridge sized unit or an 8 or 12u enclosure that mounts into a normal rack. But I don’t know how their power backplane can scale down that small and still be economical, whether their sales and support pipelines can afford such small customers as a 12u unit. I know a lot of small and growing companies could use that much server until they grow but small companies can be an opportunity cost.

What I see is that their full rack is so tall as to complicate delivery, its power and thermal draw so high, that I think they would be better off with a model one third or one half the height, and if the empty rack (all compute and storage modules pulled out) is light enough to lift by hand or with easily transportable equipment, designing them to stack like shipping containers gives you a better situation.

Meanwhile a 12u could probably go via FedEx.

Learning Pathways
We're a team of interdisciplinary scientific researchers aiming to improve how reading lists and reference lists are shared, and help learners and researchers explore new fields.

Learning Pathways is a free service which organises learning resources (papers, articles, videos and audio) into subject areas.

The idea for Learning Pathways came about when we realised that, at the scientific conferences we attended, students and researchers in the audience found it difficult to access the references from talks and posters.

For students and researchers who are new to a field, mapping out the literature is a key activity, so reference lists are very valuable. At conference talks, slides are often not given out, so the audience needs to copy down references. Citations such as "Smith 2010" can be difficult to follow.

We built Learning Pathways to make sharing reference lists easy. A speaker can make a learning pathway containing the references from their talk. Papers can be added very easily by searching for their title. We use up-to-the-minute paper search from Semantic Scholar.

The learning pathway can then be easily shared with the audience via its web address, such as learning-pathways.org/pathway/j0x8m4h0q7/faster-than-light-communication.
They already exist, but aren't especially common.

As you point out, the challenge is always around revenue sharing. From what I have seen, they last maybe 5 years and then break up when people feel like they are putting in more than they are getting out.

The productive difference between the top and bottom half of the N needs to be less than the extra efficiency the coop provides the top half of N. This isn't easy.

Eg top performer brings in 150k revenue, receives 100k salary, but can only make <100k without the coop.
The weird thing with Humane is that they decide to make it a totally different device: different data plan, different phone number, different storage etc. etc. etc. It sounds so stupid to for the user to do that. I get that they wanted to have people to use it INSTEAD of their phones, but let's face it: nobody is gonna do that. If you paired it with your phone instead, you could share the data plan, share the data (your phone also has knowledge about you), use your own phone number etc.
plenty of critical services use HTTP -- maybe exactly because they are critical.. think the scenarios through and that may make more sense..
Doesn't the police frequently bring in people for drug related things, even if the reason they were present was fun violence related?
The equivalent of BeeBase’s error in your example would be simply “invalid regex”, which I’d say is still more useful as regex is widely understood and there are many tools that you can give regex to that will tell you what is wrong with it.
If wanting better conditions in the US is something Gen-Z wants, that does not make them anti-American. Criticism of our government and corporations is one of the most pro-American action one can be.

They want an America that is humane and cares for its citizens. Good for them. Anything less makes for a subhuman individual.

Tangentially, I once saw a list that gave "wunch" as a collective noun for bankers.
AI tools have been fun to play with since ChatGPT initially came out. However, I’m finding that I lose my “sharpness” if I rely too heavily on any LLM for performing random tasks.

Until something comes out which performs auto generation of boilerplate/project code (against technical specs) I’m going to stick with test generation, as that is the only consistent output from LLMs that makes sense in my workflow.
Not really, DLAA and the current incarnation of DLSS are temporal techniques, meaning all of the detail they add is pulled from past frames. That's an approach which only really makes sense in games where you can jitter the camera to continuously generate samples at different subpixel offsets with each frame.

The OP has more in common with the defunct DLSS 1.0, which tried to infer extra detail out of thin air rather than from previous frames, without much success in practice. That was like 5 years ago though so maybe the idea is worth revisiting at some point.
I think you’re just confirming what you already believed.

While some people had issues rendering or scrolling the website they acknowledged those issues as did you yourself. So they, at least, tried to read the article, which for the purpose of drawing conclusions should count as people who read the article.

Also, the article rendered and scrolled fine for me. The website is a huge PITA with an absurd cookie permission form and tons of popup advertisements but I didn’t have a problem accessing it. You’re assuming the commenters who didn’t mention problems had problems but there isn’t a reason to believe it was unreadable for everyone.

I read it but didn’t comment. How many others did this? We don’t have that data. I don’t comment as much as I use to, but I probably comment above the median (which might be 0) and I read more articles than I comment on.

When I have commented without reading the article, it’s because I’m not commenting on the article. Although I read this article, what you and I are talking about has nothing to do with this article and I don’t see why it should matter to anyone whether or not we read it when we’re not actually discussing it.
That's owned by a different company though.
I've got s pretty great solution to this kind of stuff, one that works for me anyway.

If I want something that doesn't exist bad enough, I make it. I release it to the world for free. When I need an improvement, I make the improvement. If you need an improvement, make a PR. If it's a feature request, unless I think it would be interesting to implement, make the tool more well rounded or I will find utility in the proposal, I don't do it.

I don't maintain beyond that. Sorry not sorry. If it's popular enough that a community forms around it the community can maintain it. If someone or some company comes to rely on it, they can maintain it. I made a thing, I gave it to the world for free just because, that's it. I don't owe the world anything and I'm not a charity.

The Barrier to entry is probably capital costs.

Probably difficult at this point for enough lowly workers to pull their money and form a company, open stores, and compete with a Whole Foods.

The mega corps already dominate and can undercut anything that is starting up.

Amazon is kind of like a fiefdom where if they see someone building a castle in the distance, they can send some knights out to attack before it gets too big.
Scaling color data is a different technique than down sampling. Again, all I am saying is that for a very good reason you do not stream pixel data or compress movies by storing data that was down sampled.
Sadly, yes. You can build an app that runs both locally and on Lambda / serverless. I've done it and seen it done. However, in my experience, this is generally beyond the capabilities of most individuals. It's more often a mess than not.
yes, it communicates nothing. As mentioned by another commenter, it's effectively aspirational ethics, and I do not work towards aspirations, I work towards reality.
I can recommend Tupperware containers. Come in all shapes and sizes and really cheap. If you get one with a glass bowl or transparent plastic you can even look inside without components getting dirty. When mounting to a wall screw your boards onto the inside of the lid and then the lid onto the wall. With this you can access it easily by removing the container from the lid. Only downside is that they can look ugly when in plain sight.
I want them to build a blade server, but it sounds like they’re pointed in the opposite direction.

The big team thing matters for two reasons:

First, it implies lots of people are paid to learn it. Second, it implies companies will have to invest in adding/fixing support libraries.
> Points at dog, "what's this", "it's a dog"

> Points at sign saying New York Stock Exchange, "what's this", "it's the NYSE"

These are impressive in that we did not have software that could do these sorts of things a few years ago, but they are functionally useless examples. People do not do this beyond writing tech reviews or a tech demo for a friend.

I'd really like to see useful demonstrations, of things that I actually want to know. For example I saw a tower on the horizon ~15 miles away and wanted to know what tower it was, I pointed my phone at it and zoomed in extremely far, and asked Google Lens, and it gave me the wikipedia page. This is materially better in two ways: first I can zoom in past all the other towers in my field of view, and second I get the wikipedia page, on a screen, I don't know what information I need about it, it sort of depends on what it is, and that page is a good place to go for that.

What other demos do we have for these devices (R1, AI Pin) of real world scenarios? So far the reporting is lacking on these, and where they have been demoed (e.g. AI Pin translation) it has been with poor results.
John Hammond - Cyber security/ethical hacking. He explains what he's doing well enough for even someone like me, with very little cybersec knowledge, to follow along and understand.

Someone else also commented Nathan Baggs, also a great explainer of what he's doing (and he hacks some fantastic old school games too).
Why would you not let the NN work on the compressed data? That is actually where the information is.
First, intended or not there is an incredible amount of privilege in the idea that “everyone can be a shareholder”. An awful lot of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and struggle to afford housing and food. Increasing homelessness is, first and foremost, a consequence of housing unaffordability.

Second, owning 10 shares of Amazon doesn’t make you a capital owner. If you still need your paycheck to survive, you’re a worker, subject to the whims of your employer.

The really damaging thing about retirement accounts, for example, is that it has convinced people that they are current or future capital owners. It makes workers advocate against their own best interests.
I think the biggest effect of this is going to be that a lot of creators are about to lose a lot of money that they were generating from sponsorships: whether above or below the table.

But most will slowly migrate to other platforms due to uncertainty (users and advertisers), though it remains to be seen exactly to where.

Maybe Snap? YT Shorts is bad, as are most other “shorts as a feature” platforms where discovery UX is terrible.

Just speculation for the time being as we need to see what ByteDance decides to do. Can’t recall the exact article but I think they do plan to fight this decision.

With AI robots, all those suicide missions nobody wanted to do will be much more easily done. Forget molotov cocktails. Think climbing on a tank and pouring napalm all over it while lighting the napalm at the same time.

TSA is more than just the public security line at airports.

It's responsible for all aspects of airport security including all employees, both resident and transient, inside and outside the airport.

What's really baffling is how many different ID and security badge regimes DHS is responsible for, because they areythe exclusive issuer. Each airport issues their own security ID badge (SIDA). There's no interchangeability for identical clearance levels. It's remarkably inefficient. This isn't TSAs fault. Congress is the responsible party, yet rarely does it consolidate anything.
I ran into this in university and burned a late night writing a simple program. It was a really fun experience that I would recommend people try at some point!
Regarding the article I was talking about, (not this article,) I was not quick to judge. I actually tried 5 browsers across 2 desktop OSes, Safari on iOS, and the two main web archiving sites could also not scrape the article.

Oh, I also tried VPN'ing into the USA and also not. It was a publishing error of some sort.

GPU vs CPU:

It's faster to use a GPU. If you tried to play a game on a laptop with onboard gfx vs buying a good external graphics card, it might technically work but a good GPU gives you more processing power and VRAM to make it a faster experience. Same thing here.

When is GPU needed:

You need it for both initial training (which it sounds like you've done) and also when someone prompts the LLM and it parses their query (called inference). So to answer your question - your web server that handles LLM queries coming in also needs a great GPU because with any amount of user activity it will be running effectively 24/7 as users are continually prompting it, as they would use any other site you have online.

When is GPU not needed:

Computationally, inference is just "next token prediction", but depending on how the user enters their prompt sometimes it's able to provide those predictions (called completions) with pre-computed embeddings, or in other words by performing a simple lookup, and the GPU is not invoked. For example in this autocompletion/token-prediction library I wrote that uses an ngram language model (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/next-token-prediction), GPU is only needed for initial training on text data, but there's no inference component to it - so completions are fast and don't invoke the GPU, they are effectively lookups. An LM like this could be trained offline and deployed cheaply, no cloud GPU needed. And you will notice that LLMs sometimes will work this way, especially with follow-up prompting once it already has the needed embeddings from the initial prompt - for some responses, an LLM is fast like this.

On-prem:

Beyond the GPU requirement, it's not fundamentally different than any other web server. You can buy/build a gaming PC with a decent GPU, forward ports, get a domain, install a cert, run your model locally, and now you have an LLM server online. If you like Raspberry Pi, you might look into the NVIDIA Jetson Nano (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-sy...) as it's basically a tiny computer like the Pi but with a GPU and designed for AI. So you can cheaply and easily get an AI/LLM server running out of your apartment.

Cloud & serverless:

Hosting is not very different from conventional web servers except that their hardware has more VRAM and their software is designed for LLM access rather than a web backend (different db technologies, different frameworks/libraries). Of course AWS already has options for deploying your own models and there are a number of tutorials showing how to deploy Ollama on EC2. There's also serverless providers - Replicate, Lightning.AI - these are your Vercels and Herokus that you might pay a little more for but get convenience so you can get up and running quickly.

TLDR: It's like any other web server except you need more GPU/VRAM to do training and inference. Whether you want to run it yourself on-prem, host in the cloud, use a PaaS, etc. those are mostly the same decisions as any other project.
> Prediction: Project will take 10 years too long and results in a normal (non-high-speed) rail system connecting the two places that is too expensive for people to reasonably use.

Both takes are oblivious to the problem domain, to the point that you didn't even realize your worst-case scenario is completely irrelevant and doesn't even put any of the project's aspects into question.

Keep in mind that this is an infrastructure project. The expected outcome, such as the Interstate Highway System, is providing the US with infrastructure that is of critical importance to the local, state, and national strategic interests. Taking 10 years to build is not a problem because infrastructure projects often take decades to pull through. See Switzerland's Gotthard Base Tunnel and how it took billions to build and decades from signing off until being opened to the public.

Being non-high-speed is also perfectly ok. The difference between high-speed and non-high-speed in practice is the door-to-door travel time being close to 3h instead of around 1h30m. Once you start to think about it, you'll eventually realize airplanes take far longer than that to cover the same door-to-door trip as the flight itself takes less than a third of the time. In fact, it's widely established that commercial flights are only competitive with regards to high-speed trans for distances greater than ~600km, and trains remain competitive for half the distances if you have their commercial speeds.

More interesting, high-speed is just a brand. The important property is commercial speed, and you can have non-high-speed lines outperforming high-speed lines. A textbook case is Britain's high-speed rail network, whose top speed is ~160km/h, which is considerably slower than France's ~320km/h, but still ensures high commercial speeds as the track layout was designed to allow trains to constantly circulate at speeds close to the top speed.

"downloaded torrent is a split rar. lol

That doesn't have anything to do with being old fashioned. It's about how racing works in scene FTPs. When you release something race begins starting from so called affil "sites" (group release to all their affil sites at the same time) from there it propagates to whole scene by couriers. Because of how FTP works you need to split the file into multiple files so it can be uploaded by multiple people from multiple sources making distribution fast. And rar is used for that, there are scene rules for it and it's not using compression option.
Former NASA Engineer Says He's Invented a Thruster That Doesn't Require Propell
No, I can imagine it. I worked on an embedded device that I think worked this way (vxWorks), though I didn't get into the device driver side of things very much.

But it's still a bad approach for general computers, for two reasons.

1. With the current setup, we need an OS that detects the hardware and loads the right code. With Chuck's proposal, that responsibility - and the code to do it - moves to every application. Since there are far more applications than OSes, this is highly inefficient.

2. Let's say I buy an application, and then some time later I buy a new computer. If the new computer has a compatible OS, I can just run the existing program on the new computer. But under Chuck's approach, I need a new version of the program as well - one that knows how to detect the new hardware, and what drivers to load in response.

So (virtually) nobody is going to do it that way. It might have made sense when you were fighting for every byte of memory, but that isn't the world we live in any more, and it hasn't been for decades.
