All dozen of my kids were conceived in the back of that 1997 Toyota Camry. The car was given to me from my Grandpa after he passed. All those memories from the past 27 years clearly has a ton of sentimental value; I put it at $2M. I'll settle for half of that though.

Nvidia essentially has no competitors so far, the competitors are in fact years behind, the moat is deep and wide, it will be the No1 market cap company for a few years down the road probably, if it keeps executing well that is. Apple's all products can easily be replaced.

Nvidia could buy some cloud companies to become AI-cloud vendor too, instead of just selling equipment and chips, that will make it even bigger.
Only until it bursts and sells off.
In most developed nations, with any major incident emergency services will rush to the site, and victims rushed to hospital.

In a nuclear blast (in densely populated area like a city), this is different:

Emergency services themselves will be taken out (as well as hospitals, energy infrastructure, most comms, perhaps many roads too), and in any case the # of victims (dead or alive) will be so enormous that first responders (coming from neighboring cities) will be completely overwhelmed. To the point where their arrival on-scene makes no difference whatsoever.

Read: if you'd ever find yourself victim of a nuclear blast, you're on your own. Probably lucky if you die instantly.
> The difference between the NSA and local cops is that the NSA won't be looking for some bullshit to use as an excuse to arrest or harass you.

No, the difference is NSA is much more capable and has much less oversight (not that cops have much oversight or accountability).
But normally they try to avoid too obvious contradictions.

Iran has those resources, however.
Isn't it what every country do? They produce commodities and export them. Western countries always did this. And as historically they had production capacity bigger than the rest of the world, they always produced more than could be produced domestically and, if we use the same terminology present in the article, they "dumped its excess on the international market". In lot of scenarios, when other countries tried to adopt protectionism trying to protect their national industries, US retaliated and forced other countries to abandon these policies. And before this, China is the very country that was invaded using the discourse of free market because they tried to prevent drug trafficking financed by England. Now that the west managed to get beaten in the very game in which they created the rules, suddenly the discourse change, and we get strange articles like these complaining about the very "free market" that a couple of years ago was revered.
Before getting all excited that your ML model runs on your brand new 2024 macbook, before you run off to create earbuds / hearing aids with it, please try to run it on-target and see whether your model runs within your runtime budget / power budget / device size budget / battery life budget.

And make sure if you're going to do bluetooth + wireless, remember that both bluetooth and wifi transmit on 2.4 GHz, and need to coordinate in order to coexist in the same IoT device. There are interconnects and wire protocols to connect the bluetooth and wifi chips together - or, preferably, you buy a chip that does both.

> It was take the shot or starve.

There is no evidence based reason to not take it for nearly all people, it was well tested and very safe. If you are immune compromised to the point where the vaccine was risky a doctor visit would sort you out. For nearly everyone else the vaccine moved the chances of covid death from some single digit percentage to negligible and reduced severity of symptoms and very rare (far rarer than covid issues).

Per your own story it was not "take the shot or starve", you are simply lying.

Meta spent ~1/3 of it's capex last year on GPUs. Are they going to spend more than 11B+ in future years? The big few companies that make up a huge portion of NVDA's revenue could just hold spend steady and NVDA will contract [1].

NVDA is also in a weird spot where their primary customers are all working to build their own thing to replace/supplement NVDA. A lot like Apple did with ARM, eventually pushing Intel completely out. As algos improve and Moores law marches forward, companies will need fewer of the 'best' GPUs and get by with their in-house versions.

@mtlynch I’m trying something new and with a different approach this time. I realized reading your post today, my “new” approach borrows a lot from your prior post on optimizing and externalizing ops at TinyPilot.

Just wanted to say Thanks for that. Best wishes in becoming a new parent.
My wife runs her own consulting business, I’m taking a break from tech work. This means we buy insurance on the federal marketplace (healthcare.gov).

It is expensive, but not insanely so. Family of four, living in Oregon, non-smoking, our premium is ~$1k/month. Granted it’s a high deductible ($12k), but it protects us from the kind of catastrophic emergency that could wipe out our savings. We are fortunate to not have expensive, ongoing conditions.

Granted, $12k/year is a lot for less affluent families, but government subsidies can bring the premium down considerably if your income is low enough.

And while the coverage is far inferior to my old FAANG luxury health plans, it still works well enough.
Applying a LUT is not the same thing as color grading. It's simply applying a LUT. The app that was specifically linked to is not Resolve. It is an app tapping into the new features introduced with the newest model device. If you use the linked app to acquire footage with your phone, you would still need to make that data available to the iPad version of Resolve. Again, this app does not require that at all.

If they were 500 independent bots, sure. If they're 500 bots that are coordinated, then I wouldn't be so sure, because the logic cuts the other way.

This was my experience. Same thing happened to gaming for me at the same time.

It was around 2015 that I burned out. The last film that I tried to watch was the Force Awakens. It was incoherent, frenetic, poorly acted, and filled with in-vogue nonsensical pandering. Any interest I had in cinema as a medium evaporated.

There's nothing filmmakers can do to make me want to watch films, let alone pay for the privilege--even if they somehow pandered to all my weird whims.

Megalopolis is honestly the first film that I've heard about in almost a decade that sounded even remotely interesting, but then I saw the trailer and all desire to see it disappeared.
If it’s easy, everyone would do it.
Thanks for extracting the details. It doesn't seem like they'll be competitive with blocklist-based approaches like uBlock Origin, because their features are fundamentally expensive to compute - parsing JS and such, not just matching URLs against a list of regexes.
Its considerably more labor intensive though, which means $$$.

Who owns your voice? Scarlett Johansson OpenAI complaint raises questions
Congratulations. I have been following the retrospectives for more than 2 years now. I hope to keep enjoying your monthly posts.

My question is, did you change anything on your strategy after you were set on selling? Or the goal was still the same, optimize earnings?
Very unlikely. Big crashes occur when businesses sell hot air or cook their books. NVidia is overpriced but they are also the sole producer of the world’s most advanced AI chips. I can’t see any scenario where demand for AI chip levels off in the coming years. The worst case scenario is NVidia’s profit margins hurting because competitors hit the market sooner than expected. But even when that happens NVidia will still be worth a trillion. Hardly an epic crash.
"Apple's all products can easily be replaced."

- No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
ChatGPT Free users can now use browse, vision, data analysis, uploads, GPTs
I don’t think it will be a crash per se, I just think that at some point every major cloud provider will build their own silicon and this will drive demand for NVidia’s cards down by a lot. It will take some years for it to happen, but it will happen eventually.
In your water example, perhaps that liter of water used to cool the datacenter is offering software to a hospital that offers life saving treatments. How will you measure the trade-off of a liter of water used one way vs. another?

Likewise, how can we distinguish between a ton of carbon emitted in the datacenter vs. a ton of carbon emitted by an airplane? Again, you might train an AI and emit one ton of carbon and that AI a save a million lives. Contrast that ton of carbon emitted with any number of frivolous airline flights by rich talking heads.

It may sound like I'm being deliberately difficult/obtuse, but this is exactly why regulation is so difficult to do well, especially in such a rapidly innovating space.

> Altman did not tell the board he owned the OpenAI startup fund.

It was a non profit. That on its own, IMO, a firing offense

What a dreadfully dishonest human being
Yeah I have been thinking we might see a humanoid robotics hype bubble. They’re flashy tech that can look pretty good in a demo, the hardware is to a state where we can convince people it’s a real product, and the software is just far enough along to trick loads of investors in to funding it.

And I don’t know, maybe in ten years time we will have enough AI advances that humanoid robots are useful. But AI is notoriously hard to predict, and if you believe Yann LeCun then all the autoregressive approaches the big LLM companies are using won’t get us to AI that thinks more like an embodied creature, with hierarchical reasoning, variable compute capabilities for solving hard problems, few shot learning, etc.
Thanks for reading!

>Do you ever calculate your GOOG salary and multiply it by the number of years you've been bootstrapping and have any regrets?

I've definitely thought about the number, but no, honestly no regrets at this point.

I got an email from a Google recruiter a few weeks ago offering to rehire me back at my old level with no interview or interview for a higher level, and it wasn't tempting at all.

I miss things about Google, and there are things I hate about bootstrapping, but overall, I definitely prefer the autonomy of running my own company.

How tricky is it to with the S3 storage? Esp. In regards to permissions, etc.?

Yes. The bloom filters tend to be useful on queries that are doing lookups on specific values for high-cardinality columns. For example, "SELECT * FROM ... WHERE ids IN ('guid1', 'guid2', 'guid3', ...)". You could hash partition on the guid here but its likely that your filter criteria will cover a lot/all of the potential hashes, as opposed to the bloom filter.

And if Nvidia can't satisfy the demand to a reasonable price companies could search for alternative ways with AMD hardware

IMO the big win for Elixir/Nx/Bumblebee/etc is that you can do batched distributed inference out of the box without deploying anything separate to your app or hitting an API. Massive complexity reduction and you can more easily scale up or down. https://hexdocs.pm/nx/Nx.Serving.html#content

And there's also a scale to 0 story for when you're not using that GPU at all: https://github.com/phoenixframework/flame

1 language/toolchain. 1 deployable app. Real time and distributed machine learning baked in. 1 dev can go really far.
>The fact that I think it's wrong for the public to be able to trivially track anyone?

Does that extend to preventing private individuals, well heeled individuals being able to sic private investigators on whoever they like, or the government trivially tracking someone?

Because if it doesn't, I find your POV repulsive. There can be no reciprocal equality if you specifically orchestrate the blinding of the public to the comings and goings of those in power.

I like the strategy of using flags to say "look into this suspicious part of the code" over a hardcoded block list. And also block shitty JS via "JS AST depth, average JS identifier length" etc even if it's not an ad but just bad code.

For Brave browser users, you can see what hardcoded lists you're using at brave://adblock .

As for the whole cat and mouse game, how to detect an "ad" if it's served with the content fully sever-side? Now _that_ needs some serious ML to decipher.

I used to live in Toronto near queen's park. There were very frequent protests down yonge and in queens park. Never once in all the time I lived there was I prevented sleeping by protestors honking outside my building all night.

I was also never once confronted, cornered, harassed, or yelled at by protestors. Not once. These actions are not ok and not typical of any protest. Yes I was frequently inconvenienced with the street blocked, but that's fine, the cost of living in a democracy.

Protesting does not involve attacking fellow citizens.
"Except if the subject is static" is most of long exposure photos.

Blurring is frequently the goal. Blurring waterfalls is a popular technique. As is blurring the ocean. Or streaking of light from cars. Searching for "long exposure" shows these techniques.

They use tripods to keep some things static. Smartphones can make those photos just as well as cameras with the computational photography turned off. The limitation is using neutral density filter to make exposure work.

Linux is a power user tool and I think that's great. Linux Mint and others are trying to lower the learning curve, but they don't have the same resources that Microsoft and Apple have. But they do manage to do well.

You can create a distro that do all these things well. But that would require coordination across the board and result in something close to Android or Chromebooks.

> Bluetooth, audio and suspend/resume still don't work consistently.

That's a hardware problem. Most manufactures don't bother building drivers for linux or releasing the specifications for their devices.

You can't do rally without knowledge in cars. Linux for the most part is raw computing so having some computer knowledge is a necessity.
Can't someone else just implement CUDA for their chips? I don't see that being worth trillions, it is hard but isn't that hard to replicate. Billions makes sense, not trillions.
Yeah the Revolution gets hyped a lot but if you take a step back it was “anddd they taxed us too much time to take up arms.” Which to the colonies was tantamount to tyranny but the world hadn’t yet seen tyranny the way it would see it post Industrial Revolution.

As a project grows so does specialization. You can grow the team until it becomes unwieldy, then split it into to around people who are facilitating keeping that culture. It’s helpful to have teams of teams and a few members who transfer between them to both keep the culture from bifurcating and to reduce Us and Them.
I have a super minimal Facebook account, just for those times when the only group or company access is via FB.

My feeling is that Facebook itself is generating a lot of the content, probably also the users and groups - at least for some benign topics.

What I see on my wall is endless posts for topics I _might_ be interested in, or tangentially might. Since many of them are architectural, and the visuals are usually obviously AI generated. And yet, they appear to show a lot of engagement: tens of thousands of comments, likes, etc. From the comments on these obviously fake posts, I must assume that most of the commentors are bots or fake accounts.

It might give the appearance (to advertisers) that Facebook is relevant.
I don't see how that would benefit them to go against this since their business is to monetize their user's data as much as possible.

If anything, this is probably a new revenue stream. Now they can get all the data on behalf of the EU and use it as they want.
As a EU citizen, this makes me so god-darn angry. The parliament tries it again, and again, relentlessly, against every single legal or technical advisor. And there is nothing I can do about it, not even voting. The EU claims to be democratic, but actual legislation is passed without much democratic input. No matter how the vote turns out, there will be enough support left for laws like this. Always. And if this iteration won’t pass, they will modify and retry.
Until they eventually, but inevitably, succeed. So it’s only a matter of time.

And I know this, we all do, and yet am fundamentally impotent about it. It’s infuriating.

Who said "we" were going to investigate or speculate?

There is a difference between a witch hunt and making sure underheard voices get attention.

I was suggesting "we" make sure these claims are not being ignored because they are against a public figure. The fact they are a public figure and "might get blackmailed all the time" doesn't somehow relieve a person of criticism. That "we" ensure the proper authorities and groups prioritize finding new information or investigate these claims instead of being swept under a rug.
