I don't use SSDs for anything important, personally, primarily because I've seen so many more failures (often with no warning) than with HDDs. At least when HDDs fail, you usually get warning signs well in advance of the drive ceasing to be functional.

But that's just me and my anecdata. Whether SSD or HDD, you need a solid backup process anyway. If you have that, then I'm not sure it makes a lot of actual difference either way.
Fantastic response. Thanks.

> Even if Google wants to spend more money, simply there's no chips to buy.

This strongly suggests that there's an opportunity to spend money relaxing this shortage. If your business growth is being throttled by suppliers, then investment either allows you to grow those suppliers, or vertically integrate them out of the picture.

When it comes to voting in elections - we discard this type of article/headline with careless disregard. But when it comes to net neutrality, suddenly it's believable despite lacking evidence?

This particular AG has made a name for herself by being sensationalist and partisan. This is likely just more pandering...

> All told, the investigation found that nearly 18 million of the more than 22 million comments the FCC received in its 2017 proceeding to repeal net neutrality rules were fake. About 8.5 million of those comments were sent by people who simply didn’t exist. Many, however, simply used the names of real people without their knowledge.

Not finding a person's name doesn't mean that wasn't a human that submitted the comment. It's an online form - people will do things to remain anonymous, including making up names.

I'm afraid this is evidence of nothing.
>One cannot refuse to turn over one's papers and effects in the absence of probable cause without privacy either.

Yes. I believe a right to privacy once existed, but it was nullified as it formed the basis of the case for Roe V. Wade. As a result even the Fourth Amendment is weakened because it must be interpreted in the light of a right to privacy no longer existing.

What I'm trying to put forth is that the assumptions you're working under are no longer valid and we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
In 2010 it wouldn't have been an automated request. Now there is plenty of demand for it to do inference and some providers are likely to start offering it if they don't already. You're also assuming the providers are interested in preventing foreigners from using their systems for AI training, rather than being interested in making as much money as possible without violating the letter of the law.

The latter is one of the reasons rules like this are simultaneously so expensive and ineffective. Provider A decides to KYC everybody because they're big and risk averse, so the rules inconvenience millions of innocent people. Provider B wants to make money selling GPUs to foreigners, so they implicitly choose a structure that allows that to happen if the rules contain any loopholes whatsoever. (This ignoring that foreign customers could just switch to foreign hosts and cost US companies business for no reason.)

And if the premise is the level of resources being consumed rather than the type of service then why don't the rules exempt anyone spending less than e.g. $50,000/month? That would be almost everyone while still not being anyone buying enough compute to do major AI training. It still wouldn't work but at least it would have much less overhead.
And Google is doing a worse and worse job of performing that role or any other.

There are other search engines and almost all of them are orders of magnitude better than google is now.
This is exactly so. At the edge, the go community will debate whether the language should be used for a project at all. Whereas the rust community will ship something that only kinda sorta works - or takes performance above all as the primary motivator.

As a very experienced engineer, I like the idea of Rust being a go to for all problems. 10 years ago - I would have hated its complexity and cursed the TL who forced it on my project.
Proportional representation is a terrible idea, in that it entrenches the role of parties per se, but ranked-choice balloting in SMDs would be a massive improvement over the status quo.

Do you think it makes sense to have a group of models, each with more ad-hoc embeddings, and coordinate them to respond according to the domain of the input?

Do multi-modal models use the same embedding type/structure for an image, sound, text?

I routinely use it's HP-41CV on my desktop. To me the Hp-41 represented a breakthrough in programmability.

In my area, fiber and cable aren’t available. If you’re lucky, you can get 5 mbps DSL for $70+ per month.

The only credible options are WISP, Starlink, and cellular. WISP is the same price as Starlink and is slower / less reliable. Cellular is cheaper but gets slow at peak hours.

In short, the local WISP has been losing a lot of customers to Starlink and T-Mobile Home Internet.

Smoke point is a measure of when obvious quantities of particles are emitted, not their chemical composition. Extra virgin olive oil has lower smoke point than refined olive oil, but it's more chemically stable under frying conditions:

However, you're correct that seed oils are generally less stable under frying conditions than other oils.
> And now all telecom companies are required to interconnect, right?

No. That's not the case at all.

Also, no.

Also what do you mean by interconnect? BGP IP peering is a thing for a while. Big folks peer with big folks.
I mostly agree with you, but disagree on one point:

What is a party? I think there still is a Republican Party that fits your description. I meet them in every day life all the time. They are reasonable, agree on many things, and are willing to seek compromise. I hope they are the majority, if not the voting majority.

But they are not well represented by 90% of the current Republican office holders.
To me there's an intermediate and more-immediate kind of distrust going on: Everyone should distrust and avoid any tool which unpredictably fails in serious ways that are hidden from the user.

For example, if you were digitizing important blueprints and financial/legal documents before trashing the originals, but the scanning process was unpredictably changing numbers inside text [0] so that your copies were wrong in small but incredibly serious ways.

In the case of LLMs (or the example scanner) the tool will eventually yield answer which looks correct but is dangerously wrong, and the amount of continuous human fact-checking--itself another form of distrust!--needed can be so high that any labor-savings are wiped out.

You can't just create new supply. Chip fabs take multiple years to spool up. You also have to get the machines to make the chips and guess what, those are supply constrained too.

It's not a problem you can simply spend money at, it's a global supply chain problem with many disparate companies each with their own constrained supply chains.

France is still being kicked out of African states. In recent times it's been Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. [1] There haven't been any wars over this yet, but France (as well as the US) was very much intimating that there would be. That was meant to intimidate the government and/or populations, but instead it just resulted in widespread demonstrations (against France) and people enlisting in the military en masse. So France waved their other flag and went home. It wasn't just troops and bases either. France was also exploiting these countries and extracting their mineral wealth (like uranium in Niger) while offering well below market rate royalties. I assume these 'agreements' have changed, but I haven't been following the exact events there lately.

I'm sure there's plenty of others as well. The tentacles of colonialism are getting scarcer, but are still very much there.

Well, then, maybe they should consider solutions for solving those problems rather than yelling "big government"/etc at every opportunity and further eroding the protections the previous generations put in place to keep things like this from happening.

Valve never really tried to compete. Index is old, outdated and never saw a price discount and their supposed Index V2 has been delayed so long it's a huge meme.

HTC never really iterated like Quest did beyond big bulky headsets that required a full room set up did they?

I can't say Meta spending 10s of millions to push the technology forward is monopolistic unless you want to say Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft consoles or any device with a walled garden (ipad/iphone) ecosystem is monopolistic.
"so don’t expect this to result in cheaper VR headsets from other companies with Quest equivalent capabilities."

Other VR companies won't need to make their own OS, directly reducing the cost of producing the software for their headset. That's going to lead to cheaper headsets from those companies. Maybe not as cheap as Meta's, but still cheaper than current prices.

"VR is held back more by software than hardware. This initiative will be a drag on software development at Meta. Unquestionably. [It] will steal the focus of key developers that would be better spent improving the system."

You just said it's held back by software. Software is part of the system. Having a reusable VR OS frees up resources to focus on other parts of the software that build on top of it.

Meta isn't doing it out of the goodness of their heart... they want 3rd parties to use this OS, so that when apps are created for their headset, it'll work with Meta's. And since Meta gives away the hardware at cost, they'll win the race.

Carmack is so focused on the view of winning through depriving competitors of resources, he thinks there's tension when Meta executes a strategy that grows VR and puts them at the center, ensuring their long term success.
No.

Consider a square (with graph shortest path distances) for example. All euclidean embeddings have a minimum error of 20-40% or so. If you try to embed any graph containing that subgraph (embedding friends, advertisers, words, ...), you'll similarly have guaranteed error. Relaxing the square to a squircle, you'll see that error even for a really simple manifold.

Riemannian manifolds are a bit more special.
That just says they are using S3 to persist to disk.
I'm here for the upstreamed Arc GPU support, lol. I could probably have made it work with 22.04 with enough poking but I don't generally like upgrading major versions anyway. I was actually checking earlier but it hadn't released yet, lol.

Probably jumping the gun anyway - it doesn't look like Arc has a release of the dev tooling for 24.04 yet anyway, no `noble` repo yet either.

I figured at least I could get passthrough working to a 22.04 container, couldn't get the intel_iommu to behave, looks like it was still getting sucked up by the parent OS despite my GRUB kernel options. Might need to try HWE on the VM host too, or maybe it's just a fact of life based on how the outputs are wired up on my serpent canyon NUC (headless might work better, perhaps?).

I'm actually fine if the ML stuff takes a bit, I kinda just want to play with GPGPU and I definitely want to play with the AV1 encoder.

I ended up bumping into the same issue that stalled me out before, it happens in both 22.04 HWE and 24.04, the step about installing the out-of-kernel modules is busted. Installing the i915-dkms can't be done at the same time as the platform-vsec-dkms and platform-cse-dkms, apparently? But I pushed on it a little harder, and it seems like it works if you run two separate apt commands.

I've got a couple of these weird environments, I need to set up a way to virtualize and passthrough them so I don't have to maintain actual machines for it. Not sure exactly what that looks like, maybe proxmox and some qemu machines in a pseudo-ESXi configuration or something. When I get around to getting the new disks in my NAS, I can also do iscsi/iPXE I guess (and I have optane for write cache).

AirBnB has an arbitration clause, so you can't use the courts to address your grievance (at least until you go through the arbitration process first). So small claims isn't an option here.

This problem is why arbitration clauses are terrible.

Yes, a large segment of conservatives have taken the place that previously left-wing hippies occupied wrt skepticism of mainstream health advice, and seed oils is a major subject, I would say even iconic, with places like Reddit vehemently disagreeing and calling it anti-science or whatever.

> calling on Biden to increase his power through just writing Executive Orders to act on their platform, and bypass all other branches of government

Executive orders are one instantiation of what's literally the job of the executive branch: executing the law.

Executive orders operate within the authority granted by the legislative branch as judged by the judicial branch, and that authority can also be removed by the legislative branch.

You can say an order is unconstitutional or unlawful, but it's still not dictatorship.

It might not seem like it but you're actually just asking me what my opinion on net neutrality is, which again, is completely unrelated to the topic at hand (Though I am strongly in favor of it FWIW).

Comparing them to ISPs, utilities, or whatever other essential services makes no sense because these sites (massive social media platforms to be specific) are not basic necessities for living modern life.

On the first point, that could end up being a discussion on freewill, which makes sense it is such a highly debated topic.

The second point is fair, but would raise questions about why we push society in that direction and not another. It goes back to trying to engineer society instead of letting it happen. I think we can be cautious of where we don't want to go, but pushing in any one direction is imposing values on other people. The flip side would be pushing society in a religious direction as it used to be done in many cases in history.
That's a wonderful perspective, and largely shared by one party! If you can make the other party act like adults, we'll be in business.

I started (and just published) a website[1] that tries to track relicensing risks across a number of OSS projects. The current methodology looks at trademark holders, licenses, and CLA/DCO requirements. I think there's community value in educating develpers, surfacing risks, tracking when a project changes it's posture, and promoting forks.

If this sort of thing is interesting to you, I'm looking to expand the project listing with community support. I suspect the relicensing trend is on its way up.
