You have it the wrong way around. The nm number used to mean minimum gate length. But when moving to FinFET and other transistor innovations that provided increased density, they decreases the “nm” number AS IF the increased transistor density came from shrinking gate length with a traditional planar transistor.

The nm has always been a very rough approximate proxy for transistor density. Nothing has really changed about how what the number implies.

I find it so weird how so many people on hacker is so hung up on the “nm” numbering. None of these people are designing standard cell libraries and those that actually design standard cell libraries never cared about what’s in the marketing material anyway.

Lowe number means higher transistor density in some ways, on some parts of the chip. That’s all

All true.

What I'm getting at is people need to get exposed to the knowledge and practices, if they are to potentially benefit from the tools and support available.

So that first starts by somehow gaining an adequate level of attention from them, a certain level of interest, and that often occurs due to something occurring that leads to an impetus that causes them to stumble and journey to discover where they otherwise have learned to avoid.

Changing government policy isn't always an instant process. Most of the FCC rules go through the "notice and comment" process that takes quiet a long time. The net neutrality rule for example has been in the works since at least January 2022 [1].

The only experience I have is first hand, what my company is doing for our client base. We are doing continuous pretraining and the rest of the alignment stack training on about 10B private tokens + private customer data to produce private custom models for companies in the 500 to 3000 employee range. We built and operate a single rack cluster that cost mid 6 figures in order to be able to do this.

These models get combined with rag for highly specific technical doc authoring and other uses.

I wholeheatedly agree with you. The GMaps experience is vastly superior. Additionally, when I'm referring to Gmaps, I think one of the critical features that I would love to replace with Open Source is Places. With due respect, I find both Google and Yelp a*holes in this area. While OpenStreetMap is really good for mapping, I'm still looking to find(or create) somethign that can supplement OSM with Places/Business data.

Leaving the country was much harder than entering now. We missed several flights and were in the Airport for almost 2 days before they allowed us to leave.

This last trip in February, I made the mistake of buying an Unicom SIM card. So get this, I go through US Customs, they point me over to a desk with a curtain, a guy reads my declaration document again, then walks me over to do a door, and opens it. In side is a little waiting area. I sit down, and about 10 minutes later a woman slides the glass window open and asks me for the SIM card. They already knew I had bought it when I arrived. There is no SIM card declaration on the form.

She told me I should probably destroy the phone. I don't think any of us have any idea what is going on.

I won't be returning to China. They have made it very clear they're not interested in Americans investing or visiting.
That's part of it, yes. Also the fact that existing software was apparently built with the assumption that you always want to receive calls, that they are important, so important they can't be disabled or ignored.

More fundamentally, I have a problem with interrupting synchronous communication, and especially the cultural acceptance of it. As I noted in my original comment.

Thanks for the detailed explanation - some of what you say sounds familiar, but this was nearly 5 years ago so my fuzzy recollection of their reasoning - I recall it being something like they didn't trust etcd being compromised on kubernetes. My counterargument to that internally was "if your etcd cluster is compromised by a threat actor you have way bigger problems to worry about than secrets"

When I disagree with a "TikTok ban", I'm defending my right to install what I want on my phone/computer/etc. I don't even use TikTok, but I think this sets a shitty precedent.

If the problem with TikTok is data collection, we should legislate bounds on all data collection and make everyone safer. If the problem with TikTok is addictive algorithmic feeds, we should legislate limits on those for all platforms and probably improve everyone's life.

You may not like it being pointed out, but having rules made by appointed regulators rather than elected legislators is obviously anti-democratic. Yes, delegating powers like this is a practical necessity, but having made that reasonable tradeoff does not erase the reality that it's a less than perfectly democratic process. So is the structure of Congress itself.

Get full email samples - forward them "as attachment" so all headers are intact. Look over the headers and determine the source IP for the initial email connections - they might be the same for multiple messages in the same batch - or will be from the same ISP. The MX Toolbox has a header analyzer that can help figure where they start from.

If the user is using a mobile device, this can present challenges - and if they sat in coffee shops to send this email you'll have a lot harder time ID'ing the user.

Once you have an idea what IP address(es) are sending these, then you check your VPN logs to compare the source IP's. This should be fairly easy and could directly finger your sender.

With these logs and some suspected source IP's, you might be able to figure out which user is doing this - even with ISP's using dynamic addressing, IP's are still held for weeks/months on networks - so this should hold up.

If the user is using a unique mobile service or a cloud emailing service - this can also be correlated to their mobile devices using DNS request logs. If they're using Google to do this, your lawyer could subpeona the user from them.

Dynastic monarchies have one advantage over liberal democracies: If you want your bloodline to stay in power, you are incentivised to leave the country off better than you inherited it - if you act out too much, there's a good chance your offspring will follow you not on the throne, but on the guillotine. This immediately makes 'fuck you, I got mine' style politics unfeasable.
I agree you cannot trust unsupervised LLM output for mission critical M2M use cases, but (imho) it will help you move faster to create and maintain integrations with human supervision (code->SVN->test harness part of CICD->human review [1] and editing + proposed fixes for failure detection via Sentry [2] or similar). My apologies I did not make that more clear further up subthread.

To determine if this creates a positive value creation trajectory, some implementation and caretaking of the code generation pipeline is necessary.

Poor Ceres.
Could this possibly be because these regulations might be generally unpopular amongst the majority of States and/or run afoul of Constitutional protections absent an amendment?
> That seems rather vague. The timing is also rather interesting, given the forced divestiture of TikTok.

This is just a press release. The actual decision is more than 400 pages long and will come out in the next few days. Here's the draft of the order released three weeks ago: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-401676A1.pdf (Of course, parts of this will inevitably be vague as well.)

The timing is almost certainly a coincidence. They started the process of adopting these rules as soon as they could after democrats regained a majority of seats on the FCC last year and got them done as fast as they could.
The catch with all those things that "actually save people from dying" is that they happen to be the same things that "could potentially kill innocent civilians". Any pharmaceutical researcher, surgeon, civil engineer, utility worker, and yes – defense contractor, has the ability to kill innocent civilians. But they by and large continue to do their work on a belief that by doing X job to the best of their ability, they will have a positive impact on the world that will leave it in a better place than if either nobody did the job, or someone with less experience than themselves executed it poorly.

Regarding defense specifically, there is no shortage of ways for maniacal dictators to raze entire cities to the ground under the justification that "bad guys were in the tunnels". That is, in effect, a solved problem – many times over. Accordingly, that is not where the research money is being spent. Rather, the goal of most new "Defense" is to achieve those same mission goals (kill the bad guys) with as little civilian casualties as possible, or to protect our own assets against such attacks as well as possible.
All of the new "rules" being proposed by executive agencies will be subject to court challenge, and some of them (like the FTC's non-compete "rule") will likely be subject to a preliminary injunction.

The goal is to get people to think "Yeah! Taking action on non-competes is great! Darn politicized courts!", when in reality this is not something an executive agency should be doing without an act of congress, or it may not even be a matter that falls to the federal government at all.

Most employment law, for example, falls to the state in which the worker lives, and some have chosen to ban non-competes via legislation. This is much more democratic than attempting to craft law by executive fiat, even though I tend to agree that non-competes are more harmful than good in many situations.

I also had a slightly rough experience. I started my upgrade from 22.04 -> 24.04 and walked away. I came back to my system frozen on the Plymouth screen. After trying and failing to get into a TTY a few times, I booted into recovery mode, re-ran the upgrade, and it actually worked.

That was a lot rougher than my experience upgrading from 20.04 -> 22.04, which went off without a hitch.

> Just because I was born to who I was or grew up where I did doesn’t mean that I cannot change things in my life.

False dichotomy.

What you can change, you can change. What you can't, you can't. Both exist, but not only those.

People can also want and seek help to change parts of yourself beyond your own control — to put the cookies beyond reach; to ensconce yourself in a monastery or nunnery to avoid being around those you're ashamed to fancy; to block the websites you can't resist typing in the URL for when half asleep.

And beyond that even; "thinking outside the box" isn't just a business cliché, there can be ways to change that were already possible, yet the mere thought had not formed and could not spontaneously emerge within a mind, yet when heard it is easy.

> Seriously - it’ll be hard, but just try to change. I bet you’ll be surprised.

If you made the bet to me, you would lose.

My main surprise in this life has been expecting to be able to change more, to resist more temptations, to have more self control.

At university, first year, we had a challenge. With appropriate safety gear, climb a telegraph pole, jump from the top to a trapeze. The teacher framed it in advance: "You'll think you can't, but you can. Remember that going forward, remember the voice saying you can't is wrong."

I climbed without fear. They had to tell me to slow down to keep the safety role taught. I expected it to be fine. I got my torso above the top… and my limbs froze. I still felt no fear, but my limbs were no more responsive to my desire to climb further and stand on the top, than when I have sleep paralysis. This was annoying, frustrating, but not scary. I came down by jumping sideways off the tower, and amused those on the ground by flapping my arms as if they were wings.

The lesson for me was the exact opposite of what had been intended by the teacher: I thought I could, but even without fear I could not.

Why are my expectations wrong in the opposite direction than you expect? Unclear even to me; perhaps because, by the standards I was raised in, so little even tempted me in the first place.

"We" didn't establish anything. An elite few met at The Meeting at Jekyll Island to discuss the matter and the public had zero say in it. Just like we continue to have no say in government today.
