That’s not how NVIDIA’s solutions work; if you connect a DGX system to a NVLINK switch it will talk NVLINK if you connect it to another via Infiniband it will speak Infiniband, if you do PCIe Direct Attach it would talk that too and if you connect it via Ethernet it you guessed it talk Ethernet with RDMA and all the bells and whistles to boot.

So does that mean Mandarin can be considered as more "straight to the point" and as not featuring a system of "gradual politeness" compared to other languages?

Does that also mean that Mandarin speakers will express themselves more or less the same regardless of the social status of the person they're talking to?

It's funny because I've had the opportunity to speak with a few Mandarin speakers, and sometimes when they were asking things in English, I felt something quite different. I wouldn't say that they were not polite, because that was not the case in their attitude, but the way they formulated their request was rather direct and as if the result of the request was a given.

Pretty silly to name your company a common word directly related to the product, then get upset at others using that same word for their product. It’s like if Grindr made angle grinders then got mad at a different company releasing an angle grinder they called “Grinder”.

Other manufacturers have recalls too, for equally dangerous conditions, but only Tesla ever makes the news (I'm not defending Tesla, just proving a point).

Apple needs to bring back At Ease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Ease

The intuitiveness of the Apple UI is not a given. A friend of mine was one of the first Mac developers, and an Apple man since then. He's old now, and both he and his wife grouse about the iOS UI and how unintuitive and difficult it is. Even my wife, also a lifelong Apple fan, finds herself frustrated when attempting to do tasks with her iPhone much more obscure than "launch app". Like the iPhone has a built-in Apple TV remote, but to use it you have to swipe down from the upper right where the clock is, then press the button that looks like an Apple TV remote (assuming you know what one looks like). Not something you can easily discover or figure out on your own. I can't even keep straight where to swipe from.

I think some time after Jony Ive took over Apple's design department, design wankery supplanted human factors. The original Mac UI was made functional and easy to discover, and then made pretty. Modern iOS is made pretty and clever with things like "pinch to zoom", but the emphasis is not on making things easy to discover or making it clear what you can do (but the "launch app" case is pretty well solved for).
Why should I? If a person told you that they can multiply, divide, add and subtract, would you not also assume that they can at least count?

The point here is: the justifications from AI engineers for why counting vs math aren't the same task, while valid, are irrelevant because marketing never brings up the limitation in the first place. So any logical person who doesn't know a lot about AI will arrive at a logical, albeit practically incorrect conclusion.

Everything is translatable, but some concepts are difficult to convey in a compact way in other languages, and Japanese has a ton of set phrases for situations that don't really have obvious counterparts in other languages.

As an example, the author mentions otsukaresama, which is the set phrase to use if you've been driving for a long time with guests and have reached your destination (and many, many other situations). But having the driver thank their guests for their patience is basically not a thing in English, so how do you translate that? The literal translation, "honorable tired lord" (~ thank you for your effort/patience), is completely incomprehensible.

Definitely agree — software patents should be abolished, full stop. They serve no purpose but to impede innovation and progress.

I’d argue the same applies to all patents; the world would be better off without them in general.
You're right, it isn't complicated. The beauty of a true good measure (ie, a scale or other measuring device) is that you can track actual discrete progress over a very short time span. If you didn't know your hair grew, could you track the amount that it grows in 24 hours by looking in a mirror? With a measuring tool, you can. That's a good measure. Compared to it, looking in the mirror is a poor measure. That's why scientists use measuring devices when trying to track quantities, instead of "eyeballing" it and claiming its good enough because they noticed some change.

I don't disagree, chess is much more algorithmic and predictable. Maybe it is more like seeing your best mate of the last 20 years getting into their fourth or fifth relationship with the same kind of partner they failed with before and thinking, "Seen this movie before, it is not gonna work out." No algorithms, just you know how you're friend sabotages themselves and you also know they can't (or won't) look critically at that behavior, and so they are doomed to fail again.

But I can guarantee you that Google employees are reading these comments and saying "Wow, this guy is totally full of it, he doesn't know about anything!" and for some of them that thought will arise not from flaws in what I and others are saying, but in the uncomfortable space of "if this is accurate my future plans I'm invested in are not going to happen..., this must be wrong." I have lived in that space with an early startup I helped start, when I went back and worked on the trauma it had caused me it taught me a lot about my willingness to ignore the thinking part of my brain when it conflicted with the emotional part.

You have to do some of that to take risks, but you also have to recognize that they are risks. Painful lesson for me.

くるくる (usually romanized as 'kurukuru') does seem to mean going round and round: https://jisho.org/search/kurukuru

Japanese isn't generally considered to have the equivalent of the 'l' sound from most other languages, and it rather has a sound that's perhaps somewhere between 'l' and a rolling 'r'. In romanized text it's generally written as 'r'. Transliteration isn't really unambiguous in the end, though, and there are multiple ways of romanizing Japanese, so while romanizing くるくる as 'kulukulu' doesn't sound like a very common transliteration, it may be possible.

Also, 'kuru' means 'to come', but I don't know if that's related.

> Congress at this point is totally broken

If Congress can delegate authority at will and with tremendous vagueness vagueness (as in the case of the FTC) then that allows Congress to be more disfunctional. If the Court reverses Chevron and later guts the FTC then Congress will have to get its act together -- they might not, but if they do then the Court will have helped us enormously.
It is wise to look at an argument with extra caution when you see the phrase “unelected government agency”.

There are (of course) valid powers available to agencies. The question is what powers are valid.

Beware the dark arts of rhetoric. I’m familiar with spotting this one because my constitutional law professor used it often. He helped us to see right through it.

Logic and argumentation should win, not words designed to scare or muddle.

> Japanese is more difficult to learn than an English objectively.

I press “doubt” on the entire comment just due to this statement. There is no “objectively more difficult” for most of the major languages (but it exists), and especially not Japanese. It imo heavily depends on your first language.

Ask any friends of yours who speak Korean as their first language. They will likely find Japanese language to be extremely easy compared to almost any other language. Almost all of them, even those who had zero prior knowledge of Japanese language, will be able to understand bits and pieces all the time.

Russian was my first, but I can confirm that Japanese was signficantly easier than English for me in majority of the aspects, esp when it comes to basics needed to be somewhat functional in the language. Only two tenses (past and non-past), pronunciation makes perfect sense (if you know how to read a kanji character, you know how to pronounce it; cannot say anything even remotely similar about English at all), grammar overall doesn’t feel overly complicated, etc. However, from what I’ve observed, native English speakers seem to struggle with quite a few of those things, including pronunciation.

Hell, I would say Ukrainian would be just as difficult for a native English speaker to learn as Russian would be. For any native Russian speaker though? A person who speaks only Ukrainian can have a conversation with someone who speaks only Russian, and both of them will be able to understand at least half of what the other person is saying (despite speaking to each other in different languages, without having any prior knowledge of each other’s language).

All of this leads me to believe that there is no such thing as “objectively easier”, unless we know the person’s first/primary language.

Same for Autopilot...

>An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems).

Exactly. Similar questions

Why does a user need to download a file to achieve the goals? Does doing so provide added utility?
Does obscurification provide some benefit?
Does distribution in this manner help normalize environments which scammers take advantage of?

I'd argue:

- Don't make users download things they don't have to.
- Serving in plain text gives higher utility as users can view it on any device (e.g. mobile. Am I the only one that reads repos on mobile?)
- A GitHub alternative also provides the capacity to download an archived zip, thus achieving any benefits that aren't obscurification related
- Git helps for better archiving as we can have a track record of commits and changes (this is labeled "Part 1"!)
- Did no one else notice that there are ".github" directories with workflows? But there is no ".git" folder? I'd honestly like that...
- While a zip itself is not an executable and not generally dangerous in of itself, scammers (hackers) do take advantage of such environments. Because you can... change a file extension. Or because a user may double click the zip to extract, but this will cause execution. Or idk, hackers are fucking smart and people are dumb.

I'm a bit peeved that people feel the need to explain to me that a zip isn't nefarious in of itself, because that's not what I was concerned with (and that there's several such comments and we don't need to keep repeating the same comment...). My concern is with how such formatting is (as best as I can tell) not necessary, suboptimal, and normalizes practices that nefarious actors take advantage of. This topic is obviously hot, so I won't be surprised if there are "alternative links" that could just contain straight up maleware. Yeah, the user has to execute it, but people are dumb, lazy, and/or tired and there is a *better* form of distribution that just doesn't leave this script-kiddy style attack around. Like for fuck's sake, people at intelligence agencies plug in USBs they find on the ground...
Thanks for writing this insightful piece.

The pathologies of big companies that fail to break themselves up into smaller non-siloed entities like Virgin Group does. Maintaining the successful growing startup ways and fighting against politics, bureaucracy, fiefdoms, and burgeoning codebases is difficult but is a better way than chasing short-term profits, massive codebases, institutional inertia, dealing with corporate bullshit that gets in the way of the customer experience and pushes out solid technical ICs and leaders.

I'm surprised there aren't more people on here who decide "F-it, MAANG megacorps are too risky and backwards not representative of their roots" and form worker-owned co-ops to do what MAANGs are doing, only better, and with long-term business sustainability, long tenure, employee perks like the startup days, and positive civil culture as their central mission.

If ads are a problem there is pretty good solution: Firefox + uBlock Origin and perhaps some other extensions. Apple doesn't allow Firefox on iOS which is why I would never recommend it.

The thing I have a continual problem with is "accidental" rearranging of the home screen. "My xyz application has gone" is a continual complaint. (It's been dragged to another screen.) Accidental is in quotes because the young grandkids delight it rearranging it once they discover how.

There is no solution on iOS. Android can potentially solve this because you can replace the launcher. But only potentially, because I've yet to find a good "elderly friendly" launcher. Actually, it's not just "elderly only" as if I found one that allowed you to lock the launcher layout somehow, I'd use it. "Pocket rearrangement" of my home screen is far too common.

In general "aggressive simplification" of the UI is the key here. Provide just the things they use, and remove things they don't like "don't disturb". In the hands of an elderly person a "don't disturb" button hidden in the notification area becomes a "break my phone" button. Android does in principle all you to remove all of those. iOS doesn't.
I'd be interested to hear how Llama 8B with long chain-of-thought prompts compares to GPT-4 one-shot prompts for real-world tasks.

In classification for example, you could ask Llama 8B to reason through each possibility, rank them, rate them, make counterarguments, etc. - all in the same time that GPT-4 would take to output one classification without reasoning. Which does better?
