For now, "AI" is a tool. Maybe that will change in the future when AI is indistinguishable from people and have rights and privileges, but for now, it's just a tool, and tools do not transfer ownership.

Europe also just doesn't need split-phase systems. A regular outlet will provide 230V @ 16A, or about 3.7kW. That's enough for virtually all household appliances, and single-phase 32A circuits for 7kW stoves are quite common too.

Households these days often do have a 3-phase hookup, but it's quite rare to have 3-phase equipment. Maybe a stove, and with the energy transition larger solar setups, electric car chargers, and large heat pumps. But most of the time that 3-phase hookup is just treated as three separate 1-phase sections.
I have no dog in this fight, but feel compelled to defend the authors here. Recursion does not test compute, rather it tests the compiler's/interpreter's efficiency at standing up and tearing down the call stack.

Clearly this language is positioned at using the gpu for compute-heavy applications and it's still in its early stages. Recursion is not the target application and should not be a relevant benchmark.
Is there a platform with native hardware u64? Maybe some FPGA?

I've been doing Rust personally for a while now, and now that I got laid off I'm really looking for a job where I can do Rust.

Sad part is that there just aren't that many jobs out there that use Rust, let alone for someone with extremely little technical experience.
I went to the article and looked at the profile pic. I don’t care a ton; if she didn’t pass I’d have made a different argument.
If the motor is designed for it, then no. Many motors these days are built to handle variable frequencies on account of VFDs

A variable-frequency drive is a motor controller that adjusts the frequency of the power delivered to a motor to speed it up or slow it down.

It could possibly damage a motor that isn’t designed for use with a VFD.

yes absolutely. But if no one can read it / logged out user cant read it - so whats the purpose of it, then? So, hence, my question
The only claim I made is that it scales linearly with cores. Nothing else!

I'm personally putting a LOT of effort to make our claims as accurate and truthful as possible, in every single place. Documentation, website, demos. I spent hours in meetings to make sure everything is correct. Yet, sometimes it feels that no matter how much effort I put, people will just find ways to misinterpret it.

We published the real benchmarks, checked and double checked. And then you complained some benchmarks are not so good. Which we acknowledged, and provided causes, and how we plan to address them. And then you said the benchmarks need more evaluation? How does that make sense in the context of them being underwhelming?

We're not going to compare to Mojo or other languages, specifically because it generates hate.

Our only claim is:

HVM2 is the first version of our Interaction Combinator evaluator that runs with linear speedup on GPUs. Running closures on GPUs required colossal amount of correctness work, and we're reporting this milestone. Moreover, we finally managed to compile a Python-like language to it. That is all that is being claimed, and nothing else. The codegen is still abysmal and single-core performance is bad - that's our next focus. If anything else was claimed, it wasn't us!
It was common trope to see soviet soldiers with multiple stolen watches on the wrists, even most famous photo of raising flag on Reichstag had to be retouched to hide that common and very visible fact.

The idea that the * isn't part of the type has always felt completely wrong to me. The entire concept of an expression modifying the type doesn't provide any benefit that I can see. The only thing the expression should be doing is giving you the chance to assign the name to the new variable you're creating. Once you define the type, which might be a pointer or not, it should be fixed.

I get that this is a pretty fundamental disagreement between me and Knuth & Richie, but I think history has shown that this idea of splitting exactly one aspect of the type (if the variable is direct or a pointer) was a mistake. It's been the cause of a lot of bugs and the cases where you want to define both direct and indirect types on the same line basically don't exist. For clarity you should split those definitions up regardless of what the syntax allows.

There are basically no cases where you should be writing the following code even if it is technically correct:

int *pointer, direct;
It seems like I've heard a lot of the same complaints about Apple. I don't know, I don't use Apple. I'm happy with Windows 11, probably because I know how to work around the b.s.
It's not really valuable if the immunity isn't very durable. There are already short duration things like PREP. If it's been 5 years (2019), that's a big deal.
It's fun stuff of translating C declarations to English, given English uses its special order for possessive and verb object order. If you use Japanese, you can write the Japanese from left to write in order, while reading the C declarations from outside in.

char *(*(**foo [][8])())[]

then reads as

charへのポインタの配列へのポインタを返す関数へのポインタへのポインタの8要素からなる配列の未定サイズの配列

which uses the reverse of English possessive, and object verb order.
FWIW, Hacker News itself appears to be blocked by the Great Firewall. Techies, of course, will have no problems getting through, but I’m genuinely confused as to why it’s banned in the first place…
Can you post this as a new submission? I want to read knowledgeable peoples' responses to it! :)

Viruses are incredible. This video does a great job of illustrating how HIV in particular seems to hijack so many essential systems. I now feel like I have a deeper appreciation for why "cures" for viruses are like a holy grail technology – how could you even prevent something like this without collateral damage to some perfectly healthy + necessary process? They're so tangential to how our cells need to work that they're almost parallel.

With the computer idle, just a terminal open, screen on, but minimum brightness, I measure 4W power usage, so about 18h of autonomy. Real-world autonomy is probably closer to 8-12h which I think is really good.

I'd say not surprising when rates were down to 2-3% for years. I haven't seen anyone make a rigorous argument as to what rates should be, but it is clear that when they get too low - as they did - you cause inflation and that has been happening. (note that inflation is never even across the economy - this time it housing early)
Haha this had me chuckle as a native Dutch speaker.

I will admit that they nailed the German-Dutch accent.

However, the weird choice to use “translatie” which, while technically is a Dutch word, wasn’t common even back in the period this is supposed to take place and feels more like a lazy translation of… well the English word “translation”, combined with, what I can only describe as “just blurt it out as fast as you can” direction, makes this very comical.
Weird—they set immigration levels years in advance, and never plan for "where are those people going to live?"

Imagine if people started having kids again! Where would anyone live?!
Millions of people falsely believing that the earth is flat is not a good reason for the Journal of Astrophysical Research to waste time, pages, or screen real estate running a "The Earth is Not Flat" article. (Admission: I'm so d*mn old that I don't believe performative virtue to be an acceptable substitute for intelligently attempting to fix real-world problems.)

The JPost article is 99% worthless as a rebuttal for "that never happens" denialism - because it has zero cites to original sources. (Or is my AV software erasing a sidebar full of links to supporting government documents?)
In addition, it says that, like sshd before, sshd-session will be randomly re-linked on boot/upgrade (along with the kernel and libc I believe) and so have different addresses.
I wonder if it's a container cleanliness issue. I can imagine dishwasher detergent residue might leave trace chemicals that mess up the formation.

I also wonder if the smoothness of the container has an effect. A rough surface might encourage lots of seed sites.

That looks a lot like what Zig does.

One problem with the proposed defer there is that it has no way to interact with stack unwinding, which is part of the platform ABIs for handling exceptions. Maybe some alternative syntax, such as "defer_finally" could make the defer block act as both a regular defer block, and also explicitly add that block to the stack unwinding chain.
Because its use has been standardized by my employer.
Sorry, don't trust them anymore. Trust is everything. Work is done. Thank you and goodbye.
Just reasoning about this from first principles, but intuitively, the more dimensions you have, the more likely that you are to find a gradient in some dimension. In an N-dimensional space, a local minimum needs to be a minimum in all N dimensions, right? Otherwise the algorithm will keep exploring down the gradient. (Not an expert on this stuff.) The more dimensions there are, the more likely it seems to be that a gradient exists down to some greater minimum from any given point.
Dogs are capable of hunting small game, as well as eating things like berries. Or maybe they hadn't been there that long, just longer than a day.

From my perspective, I'd assume dog until I got overwhelming evidence it was a big cat. There are far more dogs in Britain than big cats for a start.
You are on point my friend. OpenAI might keep going on with the current momentum for several years without a doubt. But they already lost the long term game. The true essence of the OpenAI empire is not its showmen or PR guys, it's the scientists like Ilya. What a shame to see Ilya leaving. I hope whatever he creates is a rival AI product to stop this OpenAI monopoly and put up some interesting competition.

> And no, asking repeatedly doesn't necessarily give different answers, not even with "can you double check." There are quite a few examples where LLMs are consistently and proudly wrong. Don't use LLMs if 100% accuracy matters.

Here are a few examples where it does not consistently give you the same answer and helps by asking it to retry or double-check:

1) Asking gpt to find something, e.g., HSCode for a product, it returns a false positive after x number of products. Asking it to double-check almost always corrects itself.

2) Quite a few times, asking it to write code results in incorrect syntax or code that does what you asked. Simply asking, are you sure, or can you double check, should make it revisit its answer.

3) Ask it to find something from an attachment, e.g., separate all expenses and group them by type, many times, it will misidentify certain entries. However, asking to double-check fixes it.

I have had a lot of success with this. I was also a stressed-out wreck the entire time.

If there was a 1 in 10 chance that a police officer would beat me up when I encounter them, I'd avoid police like the plague.

Even if it was a 1 in 100 chance. Police are armed, and have an overwhelming legal upper hand. Police have a position of extreme trust and need to have a much lower percentage of "bad people" than any other group.

The other problem is that police have been credibly accused of tolerating the "few bad apples". If true, then I don't consider them "fine people".

That's very sweet and all, but I strongly prefer the voluntary communism of free software, and I don't leave the open-source world unless I have no choice.
I agree with you. But then there's the entire "release fast, don't wait before it is perfect". And, then, there's the case that people using it will guide us to iteratively building what is needed. I'm still trying to find that balance, it isn't so easy. This release comes right after we finally managed to compile it to GPUs, which is a huge milestone people could care about - but there are almost no micro-optimizations.
Great way to test a lot of models, then use subscription fees to fund a bot based on the best performing ones.

That's a fair assessment. The issue is that Covid/mRNA discussions were allowed on HN at one point, but it seems like only one side of the discussion is being silenced now. I understand the reasoning, but it's frustrating because there aren't many forums left for intelligent and truthful discussions.
Constructive criticism: This sounds interesting, but it's lacking tangible examples. What does the interface look like? How do you share things? Are repositories private or open? Are there public repositories for collaboration? I understand the problem you're addressing, but the direction is unclear.

I’ve used MacOS and Windows both every day for more than a decade.

MacOS does have some “is this a bug or a dark pattern” situations, but it is in no way comparable to how much Microsoft pushes all this. It is more than a magnitude of difference between the two OSs
Is there much of a difference in the cost of it compared to pantone or some other system? I know pantone has more colours and seems to be added to more often, based on the wiki page.
I love the way you used "cultural cache" here Lol. In any case I do hope whatever Ilya is building is some sort of AI competition to stop this OpenAI monopoly.
The one about the calling was a long time ago, before cheap digital recording would allow. Most of the sightings these days are people misidentifying other animals (bobcats, house cats, etc). A few turnbout to be real but are escaped or migrated from the western states or Canada. I think the last true eastern lion was in the 1930s in Maine or something.
The evidence against her is so damning - she was present for every death, she even wrote “I’m evil, I did this” on a piece of paper.
Evangelical Christianity just happens to be the most common patina of the flavor of absurdity. There's nothing wrong with all kinds of Christianity. Episcopalians, on average, tend to be downright cool beans. The adherents of Manifest Destiny and Monroe Doctrine probably had similar attitudes to people who weren't white and their kind of Christian. The challenge over time is ameliorating and confronting the intergenerational hate and trauma that echos into the future and healing all peoples so they can live together in peace.
I apologize, I gave you the wrong answer.

A lot of negativity in these threads. I say ~cudas~ kudos to the author for getting this far! The only similar project I'm aware of is Futhark, and that's haskell-y syntax - great for some people, but to the general class of C/C++/Python/Js/Java/etc. devs pretty arcane and hard to work with. My biggest complaint with this is, unlike Futhark, it only targets Cuda or multi-core. Futhark which can target OpenCL, Cuda, ISPC, HIP, sigle core CPU, or multi core CPU. The performance problems others are pointing out I'm certain can be tackled.

This is not a good practice at all. Do you think atmospheric CO2 charts should show 0? How about daily temperature reading for human body temperature? Should daily stock tickers all start at 0?

Why is 0 magical?

Adding 0 to the vast majority of plots shows that data at an unnatural scale that can obscure genuinely important information. Human body temperature readings on a scale from 0 to 107F would make all the important information hard to see.

A much better rule is that charts should have reasonable bounds based on knowledge of the system. For human temperature in F anything less that 95 and greater than 107 basically mean you're dead. For processes in nature good points are some delta - the lowest record to delta + highest recorded. For things like daily stock prices, a few standard deviations each way from historic volatility works.

The dogma that charts should all start at 0 is complete nonsense and tries to side step reasoning about you data. Yes scales can be used to misrepresent data, but forcing 0 to the axis does not solve this.
