If I had a car that could go over a thousand miles between fill-ups, I would never fill it all the way. I’d rather not haul around half a tank of gas that I won’t need, and which marginally hurts the mileage. I also wouldn’t want to have gallons of gas sitting in the tank for months, which is what the result would be if I filled it.

Of course, this line of thinking is why I’d never buy a vehicle with this capability. I’d rather buy one with fewer features, a smaller gas tank, and/or a smaller battery.

My favorite demonstration of this is that increasing your mileage from 10mpg to 12mpg, from 20mpg to 30mpg, and from 60mpg to 1,000mpg all save the same amount of gas.
I think geopolitics plays a heavy hand here. I don't see how the US government could negotiate or even allow Chinese EV to be sold on US soil -- and even allowing them to open factories is not a popular move -- not to say that opening factories in the US is expensive.

The more likely outcome is that the US government would seek ways to force the EU governments to remove Chinese brands from the EU market, or at least imposing a very heavy import tax, like 200%. This, of course, will deal a heavy blow to the EU car makers themselves too, but I believe the US does have enough strings to pull.
The ability to enjoy a beer with them is irrelevant.

The only question is, “Are you making them look good to their manager/customer/spouse/peers?”

Ultimately, that’s what you’ve been hired to do.

In a healthy context, you’re doing that by hitting your KPI’s, adding velocity, etc., but not necessarily.
For the work that I do (which is mostly rag with a little bit of content generation) GPT 3.5-turbo-0125 with a 16k context window is the sweet spot for me. I started using the api when it was only a 4k context window, so the extra breathing room provided by the 16k context window feels cavernous. Plus the fact that it's $0.50 per 1Million tokens means that I can augment my software with LLM capabilities at a cost that is attractive to me as a small time developer.

The way I rationalize it is that using 3.5-turbo is like programming on an 8-bit computer with Kilobytes of Ram, and gpt-4o is like programming on a 64bit computer with a 4080 ti and 32gb of ram. If I can make things work on the 8-bit system, they will work nicely on the more powerful system.
> Logic and reason would have me believe they'd want to sell as many CPUs as possible, and keeping the socket compatible for as long as possible would seem logical.

x86 market is a near monopolistic one, with two companies cornering most of the market. Monopolies can afford to sustain irrational/inefficient practices as long it helps to squeeze the consumer. I hope RISC-V succeeds in breaking this duopoly. Perhaps now with the latest round of sanctions against China, if their full industrial might is thrown behind open designs, we may have some hope to crash the duopoly.
I think they are still separating fools from their money. So they have not lost their sense of purpose.
This article specifically seems reasonable. There's still some very smart people at Google. Unfortunate that the culture eroded so much over the past 5-10 years and may be unrecoverable, though.

There was an old joke floating around the internet about text-adventure Doom. It went something like:

There is a demon here.

> shoot demon

The demon is dead.
There is another demon here.

When jokes like that turn into serious projects... that's pure hack value.
The British car show Top Gear had a joke about this phenomenon when discussing the size of their American car's engines:

> How big's your engine? 5.7 litre Buick and a 7 litre v8 motor!

> It's 160HP in the Buick

> It's 200HP in the 7.0l [other American car]

> How do [American car companies] get so few horsepower from these engines?

By far the major issue is that an influx of tourists generally includes (at least some) people who don’t have the same respect for places as the locals, and they trash it. And you end up with nobody being able to enjoy it anymore.
So what would I get from China instead of a BMW M4 or Audi S5? That would be on par for craftsmanship, dynamics, safety, reliability, price. I'm quite curious.

I don't think it's quite so clear cut, and the papers and names are often a bit more precise anyway.

BitNet is (I think) actually one bit per parameter. BitNet 1.58b isn't, but then to be fair isn't describing itself as a 1 bit llm. I'm less sure but it seems OneBit is 1 bit. One of the processes mentioned in the article is a mix of one and two bits for the weights.

I use object detection to track tardigrades in my custom motorized microscope. It's very useful for making long observations in a field much larger than the scope's field of view.

The system works quite simply: I start with an existing object detector and train it with a small (<100) number of manually labelled images. Then during inference, I move the scope's field of view using motor commands to put the center of the tardigrade at the center of the field of view.

This technology is very useful for doing long-term observations of tardigrades (so, useful for science).
I am pretty bummed that they are discontinuing it and not open sourcing the hardware. I use mine at my desk every day to control my desktop Spotify and it is pretty nice having hardware controls for my music.

Shame on Spotify.
Well no, the problem is precisely that it can't work as well as the normal version. There may be merit to the claim that it's good enough for your uses, but that's a different claim. (Ex. last I'd heard it can't handle CNAME cloaking.)
As a Canadian, I agree with the premise that I'd rather see Japan gain power over China due to how they wield that power; but man, you have quite a pessimistic view when it comes to describing US allies.

Also, if Japan truly was a US puppet, would they be "allowed" to have a auto industry at all?
Besides the EU having zero jurisdiction over it, the word you're looking for is "deafening".
If gov’t backed companies out compete “free market” companies, why are we saddling ourselves with an inefficient economic model? Capitalism is nice for capitalists and all, but it’s not without its problems. Setting aside its tendency to generate dangerous levels of inequality (which is a real problem we are basically ignoring), capitalism is kind of dumb or a least limited in its ability to integrate and act on information in a timely manner (see boom-bust cycles). It seems to me that given the massive advances in information sensing, storage, and processing capabilities of the last six decades, we would be better off with more central planning. This of course still requires political work to ensure just and equitable distribution of goods and services as well as protection of livelihoods, but we should be doing more of these anyway.
Not great but let's play the other side out. Third party countries such as Australia already have over 80% of the EV market dominated by Chinese made vehicles.

If the US closes it's borders to imports it'll retain a market only fit for domestic consumption. It's cars will not be competitive internationally.

The only real way out is for the US to find a way to remain competitive full stop. Isolationism or just allowing foreign imports to dominate should not be options either way.
> Say China floods the US market

You mean if China produces vehicles that offer tremendous value and consumers love them? Lots of happy consumers who can spend money on other things they want.

> and the US players go out of business

US automakers have been bailed out several times now and have been insulated from competitive pressures. It is inevitable that several of them will go out of business. This is not a bad thing. The valuable bits will be snapped up by other firms. (pension obligations will be another story). [^1][^2]

> What happens if there’s a major war...

Healthy trade between the US and China dramatically reduces the chances of a major war. China is not run by an irrational child, its policy is influenced by wealthy business owners and its large capitalist class. Those people do not want to go to war with their best customers. [^3][^4]

(Warmongering over China is coming strictly from US hawks who are attracted to the narrative to distract attention from tough times at home.)

> You think a new crop of auto companies come up and then are able to compete against lower wage workers combined with gov financing?

The US auto industry has been significantly bailed out several times. US auto industry workers are heavily subsidized by US government policies. [^5][^6][^7]

If this just has to agitate the brewing area with ultrasound and not much else, there's no reason for it to cost a lot. Something like the Silvia you mention is just a lot more complicated.
> change their entire world view

Kind of a tangent, but this is a more nuanced topic than people usually imagine, and not necessarily always a good thing. Widening your perspective sounds great, and often it is, but it also tends to isolate you from other people in ways that can't be undone.

You won't get this effect from being a tourist abroad a few times a year, but it's something that comes with territory after you've traveled extensively, kind of a more literal version of the "you can't go home again" proverb. I expect lots of digital nomads are probably familiar with this, but it's not something they talk about.

Life is a process of stacking up experiences that others are increasingly unlikely to be able relate to. But someone who leaves a small rural community for college in the big city is losing a large number of people who can relate to them, and gaining a new community of people that can. Same story for most radical perspective-widening experiences, like how soldiers may struggle with aspects of civilian life, but at least can enjoy new solidarity/understanding with their brothers in arms. Usually with these things, one door opens and another closes.

The situation is very different for some types of expat or diaspora populations, or just your dedicated wanderer. Those who are earnestly involved or experienced in multiple cultures may find that they can relate to everyone, but never feel understood themselves.
Yeah, people forget that China is now a foreign adversary ever since Xi came to power. We’re on the verge of war as we speak.
Subsistence programmer. I only code stuff I need/want:
- scripts to help track investments
- scripts to manage list of movies/TV shows (get ratings, actors, synopsis).
- scripts to manage my computers
- database to track my research interests
Sure, but the average user won't put up with all this: seek lightweight alternative to Windows/Mac/Ubuntu, then seek lightweight alternative to Gnome/KDE, then seek lightweight alternative to Chrome/FF, then seek lightweight alternative clients to youtube and reddit, just so they can watch youtube and browse reddit.

People are busy with work, life, etc, and life is too short, and sometimes going the quick and convenient way of having a system that can run Chrome/FF and Youtube/reddit out of the box, saves you time that you can spend with your loved ones or doing hobbies you like outdoors, instead spending hours/days faffing around learning and fiddling with niche obscure SW, just to feel triumphant that you found workarounds to running modern bloated SW on ancient obsolete HW people throw in the trash.

Not promoting wastefulness here, but sometimes there are points of diminishing returns, even for techies on a budget. I just try to see if LinuxLite or Lubuntu can save the system. If it's too slow even for those then it goes in the trash, I'm not wasting time with obscure linux tools I'm not familiar with just to potentially save some worthless e-waste that's not even a museum piece. I know there's some tinkerers out there who can get to run youtube on a Pentium 3 for shits and giggles, but that's where I'd keep it, at tinkering/entertainment, since I'm not a masochist to actually recommend people daily drive such a thing or do that myself, just to prove a point against obsolescence.

For example I tried to donate and find a new home online for my old Core2Quad PC from 2007 with 6GB of ram and 1TB mechanical HDD, and nobody would take it off my hands saying it's far too outdated to be usable today despite that not being true with some lightweight Linux on it, but people aren't looking to run and learn some new unfamiliar OS, they want Windows and Chrome and all that shit they're familiar with and would rather spend money to get something they see as usable instead of taking for free something they see as unusable. So I threw it in the trash.

Vertical Tabs and Profile Management system - seem good. I was a bit shocked that to get the tree style tabs working properly I had to go typing code (to stop the old tabs being there too).

The thing that got me back to Chrome this time was I started getting out of memory errors which I have not had in any other software in a couple of years of using the M1 macbook. Maybe they'll fix that under the "speed, performance" stuff?
Several years of ML research for CNNs indicate at least that one can do very well with 8 bit integers. Such quantization is basically standard now for any deployment outside of GPU (where 8bit isn't any faster anyway due to the hardware).
> There is no way they can win against US support

Oh, they can win or at least achieve something they could sell as a victory to their domestic audience. Russia's biggest strength is that they have endless hoards of people who are for some reason more than happy to go die for the dreams of their leader. No amount of US support is going to change that.

This is a good point too. Areas that are really touristy start to converge on a shared "vibe". I don't know if this is always how it's been and I finally realized it, or if it's a consequence of the more recent boom in travel.

Mobile services, like software, are mobile. Nothing ties them to their consumers.

Non-mobile services, like healthcare and hairdressers, aren’t exportable. (And calculations are entirely COL-based; 20% inflation causes a 20% rise in cost of haircuts which causes a 20% rise in their contribution to GDP).

Counting non-tangible, immobile, non-exportable goods is not useful as a measure of productivity.

As for financial services: what do they make. It’s a lot of “value” entirely generated by accounting. There’s nothing tangible backing it; KPMG’s accounts might as well be in cryptocurrency for all that they can be used to materially improve lives. You can’t eat a futures contract and you can’t make anything with a credit default swap. The financial system is all musical chairs.
> Performance wise, difference should be negligible for most use cases

I think you mean unnoticeable (or similar); the difference in performance (memory usage and CPU cycles) is certainly not negligible.

China’s domestic market has bordered on isolation for decades now. It’s what protected their companies from competition. They can’t expect to freely export without reciprocating.

So I have some experience with this because I wrote the non-Fleash Speedtest for Google Fiber. I also have experience with this by virtue of being from Australia. Let me explain.

So Google Fiber needed a pure JS Speedtest for installers to verify connections. Installers were issued with Chromebooks, which don't support Flash and the Ookla Speedtest at the time used Flash. There's actually good reasons for this.

It turns out figuring out the maximum capacity of a network link is a nontrivial problem. You can crash the browser with too much traffic (or just slow down your reported result). You can easily under-report speed by not sending enough traffic. You have to weigh packet sizes with throughput. You need to stop browsers trying to be helpful by caching things (by ignoring caching headers). There's a long list.

So I did get a pure JS Speedtest that could actually run up to about ~8.5Gbps on a 10GbE link to a Macbook (external 10GbE controller over TB3).

You learn just how super-sensitive throughput is to latency due to TCP throttling. This is a known and longstanding problem, which is why Google invested in newer congestion control schemes like BRR [1]. Anyway, adding 100ms of latency to a 1GbE connection would drop the measured throughput from ~920-930Mbps to a fraction of that. It's been a few years so I don't remember the exact numbers but even with adjustments I recall the drop off being like 50-90%.

The author here talks about satellite Internet to Antarctica that isn't always available. That is indeed a cool application but you don't need to go this extreme. You have this throughput problem even in Australia because pure distance pretty much gives you 100ms minimum latency in some parts and there's literaly nothing you can do about it.

It's actually amazing how much breaks or just plain sucks on that kind of latency. Networked applications are clearly not designed for this and have never been tested on it. This is a general problem with apps: some have never been tested in non-perfect Internet conditions. Just th eother day I was using one of the Citi-bike apps and it could hang trying to do some TCP query and you'd every now and again get "Connection timed out" pop ups to the user.

That should never happen. This is the lazy dev's way of just giving up, of catching an exception and fatalling. I wish more people would actually test their experience when there was 100ms latency or if there was just random 2% packet loss. Standard TCP congestion control simply doesn't handle packet loss in a way that's desirable or appropriate to modern network conditions.

>Even during my childless-with-gas-car days, the most we'd drive without stopping was maybe 3 hours. I would think even professional truckers would stop once every few hours for bathroom breaks and such.

....?

Limit is a 30 minute break every 8 in a work period. I believe it's 11 hours driving time per 24 hour period in the US. 13 hours in southern Canada and 15 hours in the northern Canada. Then another limit being 70 hours every 7 or 8 days.

IIRC it was set after studies showed that the probability of crashing increased after 11 hours of continuous driving or so, but don't quote me on that.
Isn't that kind of like Belgium declaring the outcome of WWII?

I wouldn’t say it’s ignored. Among the general population, the best known polities in the world from 500-1000 (which is a huge stretch of time) are probably the Byzantine Empire, the Tang Dynasty, the Carolingian Empire and the Caliphates.

This isn't a coherent viewpoint. How do you distinguish these two cases?

-----

1(A). Wife discovers cheating.

1(B). Wife gives ultimatum.

1(C). Husband declines ultimatum.

1(D). Husband leaves.

-----

2(A). Wife discovers cheating.

2(B). Wife gives ultimatum.

2(C). Husband declines ultimatum.

2(D). Wife leaves.

-----

You seem to be arguing that it's always scenario 1, because in step (C), the husband "could have chosen to stay with the wife, but chose not to". But that immediately implies that this scenario cannot occur:

3(A). Wife discovers cheating.

3(B). Wife gives ultimatum.

3(C). Husband declines ultimatum.

3(D). Wife stays.

What we know is that the husband sees no reason for the marriage to change, and the wife does. The breakup of the marriage, in this context, is almost always the wife's choice, as identified by the very simple criterion that it's something the wife wants and the husband doesn't want. She can equally choose to take the husband's offer of a stable marriage with adultery.
