“Guy was as Chicago as a polish sausage”
Came here to try to communicate my mess of thoughts on this.

The only two music producers/engineers that I really think about much are Steve, and Iain Burgess-another that left too early. Not appropriate to compare them in any way right now but they are intertwined in Chicago music- at least in my head and memory of the 80s but also in lineage.
I spent time in the 80s early 90s loving the music scene in Chicago but feeling it was somehow niche and under appreciated(vs NYC,SF Seattle,etc). Steve’s (and Iains) work/vibe somehow helped me feel that Chicago music didn’t have to answer to anyone.

RIP and thanks Steve

can you hear me now?

Was this ever implemented though? I found [1] but it was frozen due to age and was never worked on, it seems.

> Although the GPU performs inference faster than the FPGA,
one of the primary bottlenecks of deep learning inference is
memory bandwidth and the availability of on-chip memory
(Balasubramanian et al., 2021). A RTX 3090 has 24GB
VRAM running at 1219 MHz with a base core clock of 1395
MHz (TechPowerUp, 2024). In comparison, a VU9P FPGA
has 345.9 MB of combined on-chip BRAM and URAM,
running at a much slower clock speed of around 200-300
MHz depending on the module; however, with much lower
clock speeds, the FPGA is able to achieve better efficiency
on power and energy consumption, as shown below.

So as far as I can understand, the biggest "bottleneck"/limiting factor with using FPGAs for LLMs is the available memory -- with current large models exceeding 40 GiB in parameter size, GPUs and TPUs with DRAM look like the only way to go forward for the months to come ... Thoughts?

Plus, WordPress is open source (a philosophy the org supports), isn’t inherently insecure (the main thing that will make it insecure is a shady plugin, so don’t install random plugins that look weird), and really shouldn’t be that expensive to operate with a CDN in front of it. You can totally do newsletters with WordPress too. The only benefit Substack really has is that it gives you everything out of the box. Which is an amazing benefit. But you can accomplish every listed goal there with WordPress!

Sure, it's not optimal long-term planning. Evolution doesn't plan ahead at all, its only super power in that regard is being very slow and gradual. If species A gets better and better at eating the abundant species B, and this continues for a million years and species A specializes and evolves to be unable to eat anything else, and the population of A increases to a point where B's population suddenly plummets, they could both go extinct. But usually A doesn't get that effective at killing B (before the crisis), and what happens is a repeating population cycle, the old boom and bust.

It also disallows drivers behind the vehicle to see through it to see what’s in front. Of course there are plenty such vehicles on the road already (trucks, RVs, etc), but it would probably be detrimental to road safety if this feature becomes popular among automakers.

For context to the above comment: "things are fishy" is a translation of a Dutch phrase "het klopt niet", which was thrown around during the pandemic, farmer's protests, a short lived qanon phase and other conspiracy thinking waves. It's an empty statement and feels tacked onto the above comment without explaining what exactly is fishy.

The push against making the Sinterklaas character of Zwarte Piet less of a racist stereotype is another culture war, provoked by shady organizations. Remember that there's foreign powers in whose interest it is to get people really upset over issues like this; they don't care who "wins", as long as people get upset over it and feel threatened by a boogieman.
Note, that paper provides environment for AWS FPGAs, which you can rent on per-hour basis.

As for cheaper FPGAs, the paper notes that the bottleneck is the size of on-chip memory. So I doubt it will be easy to find cheaper model to reduce costs.

Another hidden fee would be Vivado and Vitis (tooling) licenses, which you need for most upper-end FPGAs.

The problem description is ”Could we make a really big tiled mechanism like the blue balls GIF? Where everyone contributes a small square?”.

There is a stated rationale for every other design choice, but the blue balls GIF is an animation, not a simulation. It didn't even start as a simulation. So why the choice of making this a simulation, not an application for users to animate tiles?

> The term man (from Proto-Germanic *mann- "person") and words derived from it can designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their sex or age. In traditional usage, man (without an article) itself refers to the species or to humanity (mankind) as a whole.

Of course, the meaning of words change over time. But also, the meaning of words in a compound expression can be different from the meaning of the word on its own.

I've recently read The Gutenberg Galaxy by McLuhan and I can recommend it for everyone interested in the topic. He analyses how the invention of printing press influenced society, culture, and human consciousness. I liked his idea that the shift from oral to written communication has fundamentally changed the human consciousness.
> The fact that these are still very much niche interests after many generations indicates that the social indoctrination processes needed to maintain such cultures are not scalable.

In 2023, Israel contained over 1.28 million ultra-Orthodox Jews, 13.5% of Israel’s population. It is estimated that by the end of this decade, it will be over 16%. [0] By shortly after 2065, it is estimated that 50% of Israeli children will be Haredi. [1] I think this is counterevidence to your claim - the social indoctrination processes necessary to maintain Israeli ultra-Orthodox Judaism have already scaled to over 1 million people, and are projected to scale much further than that

Carlisle has been a continuously occupied town since before the Romans, and continuously since. I don’t think it’s too surprising that we find Roman things underneath modern things (in fact I strongly suspect that we have yet to discover most Roman things because they lie under modern structures that are difficult/controversial to excavate).
Ultraprocessed foods you most need to avoid, according to a 30-year study
I would almost certainly be on a diet of some attractive but unchallenging fast food like teenage detective novels if I had that choice as a kid. Would my life actually have turned out better if I didn’t read the likes of Kafka, Dostoyevsky, Hesse, Garcia Marquez back then? Perhaps, but at the time I was enthralled and didn’t mind being able to choose among the books adults in my life had around (likely knowing I would end up reading some of them).
That's the justification they cooked up. But that doesn't mean that was the motivation.

I think you're looking at peak population, while they are talking about peak number of children. According to some reports, the number of children has already peaked[1]. The remaining growth is just momentum from past births.

I feel like I haven't seen an anime in years that's been in the same league as Akira or the great Miyazakis (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Totoro). Yes i'd be brutal and include Miyazakis following works in that list, from Howls Moving Castle to The Boy and the Heron. Ive seen lots of incredible animation, sure, but nothing like the cinematic depth.

What am I missing? What should an old fart who's becoming convinced things were better in the old days put myself infront of?
I can switch the camera in my car to replace the normal mirror. This is useful when the trunk is full.

I hate it, though, because it forces your eyes to quickly and repeatedly adapt to short vision (the image is close to you), then again on the road etc.

There is no such a problem with the normal mirror which shows objects far away so you you don't need to adapt when switching between forward and back view
I suspect they are just pissed off with us.

I did a whale watching tour from Húsavík last year on a cranky old boat. We found one but the poor thing was asleep apparently, just surfacing every few minutes to breathe. Immediately buzzed by about 5 boats full of people every time it surfaced, two pictured here: https://imgur.com/a/g4em6sc . I think I'd be in the mood to tip a fishing boat after that every day.
They are brilliant. Been rewatching all of them with my son over the last few months.

Funny, great characters, and nice observations on the nature of power and people. Still amazingly relevant.
Ahh, anime's heyday. I remember borrowing Samurai Champloo on VHS from my friend around that time when I was in high school... good times!
> Huawei is also obviously not nothing in China.

The article talks about this too when it says that Huawei can potentially be the highest selling phone brand at the end of the year.

A big reason why this is possible is because China has its own ecosystem of online services and apps. Were they reliant on Meta, Amazon like (for example) India is today it would be much more tricky to pull off. Many people don't realise this but this part of the reason why the Great Firewall exists. It is a protectionist measure against foreign digital companies which allowed their own indigenous technical sector to develop.

Combine this with the fact that the Communist Party has cells in every important Chinese company, it becomes much easier to coordinate a nationwide campaign to develop applications for critical services on a completely new OS. As American sanctions prevented Huawei from properly using Android as the article says, it is pretty easy to give it a national security spin and devote coordinate effort to this undertaking.

In short, it is much more imaginable for a country like China to develop a new mobile OS if they wanted to. The only thing they need are skilled engineers. On the other hand I cannot fathom a mainstream alternative to iOS or Android appearing in the US and other such countries.

Imagine having NPCs with prompt set character traits and set boundaries of knowledge of the game world.

The player can interact freely with the NPC rather than through predetermined conversation decision trees, potentially driving a lot of unique emergent gameplay.

Downsides are that it is a lot quicker just to skip through conversations with the decision tree format and having to think about and type in questions could get tiresome. Another downside is players jailbreaking the LLM...
It still does tho. I don't see why "whole community" cannot include open-ai? I mean, I've used knowledge gleaned from SO for the benefit of many large corporations who employed me in the past, that's not new.

"The Whole community" and open-ai are not mutually exclusive, despite what you may feel about it.
This is another of this latest historical or scientific news that look a lot like created by AI.

> Over half of the bones came from blue whales.

This claim just does not made a lot of sense.

> Spectroscopy, which reveals the chemical makeup of bones by analyzing collagen proteins found in bone fragments, is cheaper and faster than DNA analysis.

And much more inaccurate, it seems. Again, we have big claims (that people will repeat for decades) supported by dwarf proofs or subpar methods.

Yes, it is quite confusing and I dread to think how many have got it wrong and store local times like the GP.

But it's also not as simple as "always use WITH TIME ZONE". That also leads to a mistake.

The reason is (just to reiterate what you said) the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE does not store the time zone! If you ever want to get local time back (e.g. ask a question like "how many users log on before lunch time") then you need to store either local time in a TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE field, or the time zone, and get local time like: SELECT recorded_at AT TIME ZONE time_zone AS local_time ... (I prefer the latter).

But it's usually DHCP that sets the wrong DNS servers.

It's funny that some folks claim DNS outage is a legitimate issue in systems whose both ends they control. I get it; reimplementing functionality is rarely a good sign, but since you already know your own addresses in the first place, you should also have an internal mechanism for sharing them.
There is good stuff out there. I watched Pantheon and Scavengers Reign recently, both excellent, but not old stable anime.

Half baked for sure, but : I thought given the ultra precise location and clocks, combined with the laser coms you could build a large array, or a inferometer with a baseline the size of the leo orbit.

Could be used for whole sky surveys, transient detections, wide angle monitoring, and high res imaging (granted this last one might require more operational finesse than a 5 dollar webcam c ould give you since you'd need fractional wavelength accuracy (right?).
A radio antenna pointing outwards would in all honesty probably be better.

But 42.000 x X mega pixels in orbit pointing outwards at least will give you some nice big piles of data to play woth - and the downlink is baned in
I've been spending some time on Quake resources these past few weeks. Writing tools to parse Quake data files, writing a QuakeC VM, etc. What's great is that the resources from that era are old-school HTML pages. No Javascript, no cookie banner. Easy to save and parse. Easy to search into.

If you produce actual interesting content that are archival worthy (which I think Chip and Cheese does) you should really make sure your content delivery platform is as simple as possible. Take HN as an example.

What matters is the content of your article, not how they are presented. Most of the time, presentation these days gets in the way between you and the content. And substack clearly does.
Every kernel I’ve ever used has been different from an upstream kernel, with custom patches applied. It’s literally open source, anyone can do anything to it that they want. If you are using libc, you’d have a reasonable expectation not to need to know the details of those changes. If you call the kernel directly via syscall, then yeah, there is nothing you can do about someone making modifications to open source software.
I remember many decades ago, someone lodged this as a CVE, however it was rejected as it was considered unreasonable to consider strfry to security feature.
I don't really know, hence my comment
I think the concept of minimizing civilian casualties is only achievable if you have significant outmatch against your enemy, which was the case for the United States in the past three decades. For every other country fighting an opponent that's somewhat evenly matched, it's not attainable and to even try would put you at a disadvantage.

Once you're in a war that you could potentially lose, it's more important to win as fast as possible to minimize the damage to your economy and population, much more than avoiding some UN resolutions.
I remember enjoying the episodes who were outside of the central plot from SAC and SAC2. That episode when they explain the past of the sniper character and how he got recruited by the major was amazing and I watched it over and over.

Every 30-meter-class telescope uses segmented mirrors, because nobody knows how to make a single, monolithic 30-meter-diameter mirror.

It's only barely technically feasible to construct these 30-m telescopes on the ground. The idea that they can be constructed in space is just fanciful.
I guess my question wasn't so much "What is a realistic solution?" but more "Would we even recognize a realistic solution if it were presented to us?"

The enterprise of starting a colony on Mars is so unprecedented that any economic solution sounds nuts.

I think the only realistic answer at this point is "We need more information".

The damage from the last coronal mass ejection to the starlink satellites in LEO were permanent. From what I understand it was due to the units loss of navigation and orbital corrections and they burned up in the atmosphere.
Yes. That issue is confusingly titled, but consists solely of a quote from the author of the code talking about what they were thinking at the time they did it.
If 80% of the tests are passing, then another week of work get 2 more passing, that's progress. It may not help predict the end of the project, but I dare say that a manager would like to know that instead of a vague "We're still working on it, but we don't know when will be done". Even if it's a bug you're investigating, a more helpful report would be "I had three hypothesis, I managed to eliminate two" instead of "I'm still on this ticket".

And yep, spondylitis with a side of hip bursitis, so Perthes hits close to home. Eventually I figured out I have colitis, started to treat that, and the arthritis got 90% better. Also I learned that some people with really aggressive colitis who go on steroids for years wind up with osteoporosis so bad that they need... hip replacement surgery, lol. It all comes full circle!
