The ARM Core?

It's usually used for anything software you need and the FPGA gets used for any domain specific circuit for signal processing and what not in hardware. The ARM core usually runs a linux or any other OS and is used for communication with other devices. It's just able to run at a higher frequency than most soft-cores, because it's a fully integrated and optimized circuit. So in theory that's a nice thing and gives you more space for custom circuits on the programmable logic part.

PS: The latest polarfire chips from Microchip use a RISC-V CPU. Since AMD has announced the microblaze-v (their proprietary soft-core CPU with RISC-V ISA), I assume they soon (tm) will release their zynq range with dedicated RISC-V in near future, too. But even if it's an open instruction set, it's still a closed source CPU

Is generally not a good idea to extrapolate anecdotal evidence as fact. These individual women you know might have had “no problem”, and still these be sexist societies.
Putting aside the obvious "are they better?"–does anyone have strong opinions on microwaves? I feel like they are fairly reliable, unlike, say, fridges. Some of them have a nicer keypad or something or cook more evenly but I don't think I've ever been super upset by a microwave.
The entire article’s text is about development in the inner loop. There are multiple pictures as well.

But using the beltway which is 6x the area, the vast majority of development is still nowhere near a refinery, or on a 100 year flood plain.
Is it still an "artificial" intelligence if it's made with real consciousness, though?
“A large human population isn’t the best use of the Earth’s resources” would seem to be an obvious conclusion of a superior thinking entity with no compelling reason in prioritising us over its own interests (which might not be selfish eg it’s goal might be to discover the true nature of reality.

But why exterminate humans? Why not create nature reserves for us and other life, for bioconservation and research? That’s been a feature of human societies going back thousands of years.
+1 for Unpoly.
I think the thing to focus on is solving the customers problem rather than starting with “how do I use AI”. You may end up not using AI or just for a single feature of a bigger product.
This looks cool, I find myself wishing for a language and introductory tutorial that isn't so targeted at Python programmes however (though I understand from a commercial point of view why that may make sense).

It seems like this is actually an elegant typed functional language but the Python syntax looks ugly and verbose and like it's trying to hide that compared to something more ML/F# or Haskell inspired.

I'll try and get past that though as it does look like there's something pretty interesting here.
Aren’t these things supposed to do automatic feature detection? Wouldn’t these models figure out consciousness as some hidden layer over time?

It's what I would be in favour of too. I also wonder, do full time carers not worry? What if tragedy strikes, it's not that uncommon - an accident during commute is enough to render someone unable to work? Also I wouldn't want to put the pressure of being the sole breadwinner on my partner at all. To me it wouldn't feel like an equal relationship somehow.
This hack seems to take a 480GB SSD and transform it into a 120GB SSD

However the write endurance (the amount of data you can write to the SSD before expecting failures) increases from 120TB to 4000TB which could be a very useful tradeoff, for example if you were using the disk to store logs.

I've never seen this offered by the manufacturers though (maybe I haven't looked on the right place), I wonder why not?
How many bits a particular NAND chip can store per cell is presumably hardware-level, but I believe it's possible to achieve SLC on all of them anyway, even if they support TLC or QLC.

Hell, the Silicon Power NVMe SSD I have in my machine right now will use SLC for writes, then (presumably) move that data later to TLC during periods of inactivity. Running the NAND in SLC mode is a feature of these drives, it's called "SLC caching".
It is incoherent because it lacks evidence, not because the idea is absurd.

Something tells me the bag might change its mind about the whole operation once the upload is finished and it realises what's up next.

So yeah not sure I like the idea.
Yes, but what did they sacrifice to get there?
The most dangerous living beings in history have killed billions between them. Mostly that's diseases, but we can also easily add tens to hundreds of millions from humans fighting and starving each other over the last 200 years alone. Currently around a million a year killed in road traffic accidents, too, but I don't see stats for the total worldwide deaths since their invention.

The greatest threats from other computer programs have been that during the Cold War the NATO early warning radar triggered an alert for a massive incoming fleet of Soviet aircraft because it hadn't been programmed to know that the moon wasn't supposed to respond to IFF pings, while the Soviet early warning radar triggered an alert an incoming ICBM because it hadn't been programmed to correctly handle the sun reflecting off clouds. It was human intervention which stopped that turning into a pointless self-annihilation, and that's specifically what gets lost as automation increases.

I also do not believe that either of these threat models "are very thoroughly known and understood", because if the former was then we would've seen an end to genocides, while if the latter was we would've seen an end to zero-day vulnerabilities (especially in critical infrastructure).
I use my microwave like once a year; I honestly would rather have that space for something else that doesn’t make food simultaneously boiling hot and freezing cold and/or rubbery.

Maybe they should move toward deprecating microwaves for great airfryer/toaster oven combos.
Indeed, India has plenty of misogyny (you only need to look at our history of female infanticide), but also is much more open to women studying the sciences. Of course, whether or not they go on to pursue a career is a different matter, but amongst the more urban/educated class of India, it is perfectly acceptable for women to have a successful scientific career.

In my own field of cryptography, many top Indian cryptographers are women.
In absolute numbers they might be the same.

Not being American myself, my hunch is that the Mormons in CA might be well established, subsocieties with long traditions. And the Muslim people might have more of single first-generation immigrants.
I switched to Kagi a few months ago and I’m generally happy with it. However, I still need to occasionally use Google for some very specific searches that Kagi doesn’t handle (or handles incorrectly).

E.g I can’t do timezone conversions with Kagi. I know I could just use an app for this, but it’s far quicker to type “10:30am EST to IST” into my browser’s address bar than to reach for yet another app.

Another thing Kagi doesn’t do yet is currency conversion. Once again, it might be easier/more accurate to use an app for this, but I usually just need a ballpark conversion and searching Google is quicker than using an app.

I live in India but my clients are often in the US. I also have a lot of friends/family living across the world. I suspect I do timezone/currency conversions roughly 8-10 times during a regular work day. This is why I still end up on Google Search despite not liking that company or their software one bit.
The article explains why, yes, it was a good idea in the context of the US banking system.
I agree. I’m being facetious.

Briant’s vision of Darius III, Alexander’s opponent, is hardly flattering, though I’d note it sure seems like there is an effort underway to rehabilitate Darius III and try to make a capable Great King out him. This side of the movement in the scholarship has, however, been slow because doing it well requires a lot of language expertise: not just Greek and Latin, but perhaps also Babylonian, Old Persian and Egyptian. Not a lot of scholars have that kind of language expertise, both because it’s hard to learn that many languages, but also because it is hard to learn those eastern languages at all because they’re simply not taught in many universities. Indeed, the number shrinks over time, as language programs are often under siege at universities.

is Americo-Eurocentric: the Persians are probably doing work to restore Darius' status for political reasons. Persian nationalism is tolerated if not encouraged in Iran. Language competency in the Arabic/Parsi tertiary education and research space cannot be assumed to be lacking.

Isn’t Lisbon the most western capital city in Europe? Not sure how that doesn’t count as Western Europe? As a Brit I maybe have a different view of eastern and Western Europe but to me the dividing line is probably a vertical line through … Prague?

He has 100% been coached by their legal counsel to distance himself from this as this is likely going to court soon (being it’s likely very illegal). That’s why he repeats “we’ve never clawed back” twice…the chilling effect intended had a real effect, at a crucial time for the company, the likely motivation being to defraud investors who may have otherwise been more careful in their support if internal malfeasance around data set sourcing practices were revealed.

I hope ex-employees sue and don’t contact him personally. The damage is done. Don’t be dumb folks.
Probably the same reason women's pants have fake pockets despite many women complaining about not having real pockets. The fashion industry gets stuck in patterns of doing things. Even if some historic reason for button handedness can be found, why does it persist? The industry is stuck in a pattern. The reason it's done that way today is because it was done that way yesterday.

There are still new SSDs that use TLC, such as the Silicon Power UD90 (I have one in my system). Not only that, some of them will run in SLC mode when writing new data and then move the data to TLC later - advertised as SLC Caching - which could be even better than always-TLC drives (even ones with a DRAM cache).
Wow. FoxPro. Good times! I’ve never found anything as productive since Visual FoxPro.
The thing is, European Union isn’t a country. It’s an union of countries. The Union itself doesn’t have legislative powers. The Union dictates rules the countries must follow the laws are still written by national parliaments.

To be clear, I’m absolutely not against the European Parliament having legislative powers but that would require the UE to become a federation and we are still far from this.
Most Americans consider the UK to be European.

> And precisely, therefore, they must not continue living under the present system which permits them to oppress and exploit one another.

The whole issue is that every system permits "them" to oppress and exploit one another. Capitalism works because it embraces our instinct to do this and tries to turn it to everyones advantage. Communism has no answer for what to do about this problem. Capitalism is designed to succeed when people are selfish, and it turns out most people are. We might not be good enough for capitalism, but we sure are bad enough for it.

>Meta’s answer to this is a “Pay or Okay” system, in which users who do not consent to Meta’s surveillance will have to pay to use the service, or be blocked from it. Unfortunately for Meta, this is prohibited (privacy is not a luxury good that only the wealthiest should be afforded).

I'm a bit torn on this one. If the EU decided to ban the use of personal data for advertising outright, it would be radical but consistent. But what they appear to be doing is to give people a choice to say yes or no while not allowing them to trade their personal data in exchange for services.

Justifying this with a slogan like "privacy is not a luxury" seems weirdly out of touch with any possible reality. If most users were declining the collection of personal data and more services switched to a subscription model, then the entire service would become a luxury for a large share of the world's population. On top of that, privacy would be lost for everybody as there is nothing that eradicates privacy more thoroughly than making a payment.
There was a study a while back which I recall finding that the more equal the society the less likely women were to pursue STEM careers. The places you listed had higher rates of women in STEM fields.

There's some odd phrasing on that page.

> It used to be that all companies made microwaves in China.

Really? When? It looks like Amana have been making microwaves in the US continuously since 1967.

> These types of electronics were lost to china manufacturers for one reason or another.

"Lost to" is an ambiguous phrase. Compare "their match was lost to the other team" with "he was lost to the world". So I can't tell what's being said here. I guess the Chinese manufacturers are doing the losing, but it might be the other way round.

I wonder what language this was translated from, and who's behind the site. Maybe it could be somebody disgruntled in Hong Kong, whose first language is Chinese. Whois yields no clues.

Why do you think these projects are horrifying?
If your food ends up with freezing cold and boiling hot spots after microwaving, it’s probably because of how you’re using the microwave. Don’t use the high setting on completely frozen foods. Set it to medium instead. This gives the food time to heat up evenly. Microwaves mostly heat the surface, so a medium setting works better for even cooking.

the ai reckoning being discussed is bound to happen imo when the current approaches plateau and leave the gen pop disappointed.

in terms of openai vs real, open initiatives, there are two things in favour of the former:

- the startup playbook of burning vc/investor funds till you make it

- the use of human-enriched and/or private datasets, supported by the previous point

i see a couple bottlenecks to current efforts in reaching the best results:

- hardware/software architechture limitations - the levels of abstraction needed for training the largest models are sacrificing efficiency for achieving the newest targets. in an ideal world, all gpus in the pool would be fully utilized, and each underlying hardware used to its fullest. currently i'd wager we are only halfway there. software stack hegemony doesn't help here either.

- model architecture approach vs goal - it is amazing how much can be achieved from vectorizing everything and predicting the next block in the sequence. however, it can only do so much from what we can see thus far. i don't have any answers to what can replace it, but i can at least assert that the current approach does not fully leverage the raw digital data that exists out there.

while we ride this wave, i am glad money is being spent in research and tooling here, and i am bullish about people doing more with their devices going forward.
Some Kingston SSDs allow you to manage over-provisioning (i.e. to choose the capacity-endurance tradeoff) by using a manufacturer-provided software tool.
Another similar theory, my grandma told that it was because men were dressed by their wives while the women had to dress themselves.
This seems like a skill issue.

Joking aside, you should learn what the tool you are using does instead of saying that's its bad because it does not do what you think it should do
It seems popular to want to suppress them from making a noise when the food is ready, and to be annoyed if there's no silent option - or to prefer ones with mechanical bells that can be removed.
Why 100% now? None of those satellites are exploding right now from overheating. Just add a laser on each pointed at somewhere where the energy can be used, done.
Games that come with their own launcher start up 1 executable, then exit it and start another one.

It's really easy to track that first one. But the second one is a pain in the rear.

I'm guessing that's the problem they're still trying to solve without manually inputting info for each individual game, or making the player do that.
They’re still good for heating up some liquid quickly or maybe some leftovers. But I mostly use stovetop or oven unless I’m really in a rush for most things.

I suspect that this is something that there’s a lot of variance between people/households. But certainly microwaves aren’t the essential appliance for a lot of people that they seemed to be in their heyday.

I have an oven though. I wouldn’t get a toaster oven/airfryer.

Then you should’ve said that first instead of beating around the bush with the what-about-ism.

The author is discussing the impact a society/institute can have on an individuals choices later in life through the lens of their experience within Mormonism. They never attempt to gatekeep that it’s a unique thing Mormons go through. Ultimately she discusses a topic that encompasses all STEM industries at the moment, which is equal opportunity and free choice. As a result I’d argue it’s very topical for HN irrespective of the religion.
Wasn't there a war in the US because of leaving states? ;-) How was that "referendum"?
Umm, no. We can point to concrete mathematical and empirical evidence of those two things being impossible.

Point to the physical laws that indicate AGI or superintelligence is impossible or even maybe-impossible. No such laws exist.

> From everything I've heard and seen, it seems like XeSS/FSR/DLSS are all making steady progress and the internal rendering resolutions being lower than what's on your screen is no longer such an issue, with more and more improvements being made.

That's nice, but doesn't really fix the issue of them not being available in every game, or it varying which one even is available.

> There's no reason why you couldn't have the game be upscaled to whatever the stream resolution is from something a bit more performance friendly, with the quality still being good enough (given that some video artifacts will be there anyways) and things like text/UI being legible.

If you're just going to upscale the final image without any internal cooperation from the game, there is no reason to upscale a 720p game and stream 1080p when you could simply stream 720p instead and have the client do the upscaling, unless of course you are using an upscaler that chokes on video artifacts (in which case you probably shouldn't even have video artifacts, it's 2024 and H265/AV1 exist).

> Once game engines like Unity/Unreal/Godot get support for the upscalers out of the box, I think the technology will be even more commonplace.

Don't they all already support it out of the box? It just needs cooperation from the game dev, like I said.

For example, Pacific Drive uses UE4, not even UE5, and still supports DLSS. It almost works fine, except displays (such as the ones in the car and garage) flicker and shimmer under DLSS because the devs didn't implement them in a way that works with the upscaler.

This can't just be solved by the engine, since DLSS integrates multiple different views of the game (depth buffer, motion buffer, etc) and the dev needs to make sure all of these views are faithful to the effects they're actually showing on-screen, else bugs like that will just happen.

That specific problem could be solved by running the game at native-720 and then using a naïve upscaler such as FSR on the output framebuffer, but that's going to be a significant visual tradeoff compared to if DLSS were implemented correctly. Upscaling isn't magic, but FSR (upscaling the final render output) is even less magic than DLSS (upscaling multiple intermediate artifacts).

And games often omit settings from their menus, even those that work perfectly well in the engine itself. Having upscaling implemented by the engine doesn't necessarily mean the dev cares enough to implement the setting for it and test it.
