There probably isn't anything in CUDA that makes it special. They are well optimised math libraries and the math for most of the important stuff is somewhat trivial. AI seems to be >80% matrix multiplication - well optimised BLAS is tricky to implement, but even a bad implementation would see all the major libraries support AMD.

The vendor "lock in" is because it takes a few years for decisions to be expressed in marketable silicon and literally only Nvidia was trying to be in the market 5 years ago. I've seen a lot of AMD cards that just crashed when used for anything outside OpenGL. I had a bunch of AI related projects die back in 2019 because initialising OpenCL crashed the drivers. If you believe the official docs everything would work fine. Great card except for the fact that compute didn't work.

At the time I thought it was maybe just me. After seeing geohotz's saga trying to make tinygrad work on AMD cards and having a feel for how badly unsupported AMD hardware is by the machine learning community, it makes a lot of sense to me that it is a systemic issue and AMD didn't have any corporate sense of urgency about fixing those problems.

Maybe there is something magic in CUDA, but if there is it is probably either their memory management model or something quite technical like that. Not the API.
you can optionally use an e2e encrypted backup to restore it from another phone. I guess the key to encrypt it will be in your google account data.
In particular this is a timing attack like Spectre/Meltdown - looks like there are timing issues with allocation of write port slots when writing to the register file - because division takes so long it's possible to use a late write from division to tell whether a particular speculative branch has been taken or not
I love the side-channel attack of using a thermal imaging camera to see the recently pushed buttons on a cold keypad.

I hate that nothing is safe anymore, but I love the creativity.
There's also no way to approve of a politician's position on A, while disapproving of their position on B. Also known as "holding your nose" while voting. By your measure, nothing short of a direct referendum on a line-by-line basis would be democratic.
China doesn't care about TSMC, they are building their own inhouse industry that's competitive with TSMC

They care about Taiwan for the same reason they cared about Hong Kong, because they are part of China and is being weaponized by foreign forces
AMD is more than just cards.
> If attacker have physical access, the discrete TPM is an attack surface anyway and even a known attack already.

If you're wondering what they mean by this, [1] has been around since 2018. It's not unusual for a motherboard to put the TPM on a removable module, so you don't even have to desolder the chip to MITM the communications.

The most recent Intel and AMD CPUs have "firmware TPMs" that run in the CPU's so-called "trusted execution environment" so there's no I2C to interpose. Of course, that doesn't mean you're protected against attackers who have physical access to the machine; they can simply install a keylogger.

My only gripe with IPv6 is that clients use an entire /64, I get it's useful for SLAAC, but I wish I could make clients receive a /68 or more with DHCPv6 so that the address space can be subdivided even when you are already behind a /64 prefix.
This describes a timing attack like Spectre/Meltdown on a particular O/S architecture, not all RISC-V cores - looks like there are timing issues with allocation of write port slots when writing to the register file - because division takes so long it's possible to use a late write from division to tell whether a particular speculative branch has been taken or not
Yes, you absolutely can do that. This is how security cameras work. I absolutely have the right to film you in public, common areas.

What I can't do is use that footage commercially, use it to degrade the person, or publish it in any way without the persons permission.
You are twisting the words. I said "trials", you turned it into "evidence" and assumed things I never said.

Evidence is still needed. Safety and efficacy are still required. But how and why those happened doesn't have to be as strict. Where the drug came from, how it was made, etc.

The FDA already did it once with the COVID vaccine. It skipped or rushed almost the entire process and it turned out mostly fine. But anything else it asks for everything, down to the minutiae like how many seconds did the cells get thawed out or excessive requirements like proving production quality can remain stable for months while a drug batch is produced in only 2-3 weeks.

The FDA basically say drugs has to be produced in their way and their way only. Any deviation or attempt to try something new carries too much risk of rejection. Following their way usually give good results. But not everything can be forced into that narrow path, especially for something like biologics that involve living cells. Even something as tried and true like a mAb still routinely get rejected internally because the cells producing it simply can't keep making them without some additives that are either too expensive or not yet approved for the current process. Biology is messy and it isn't easy getting things to work even when they are supposed to work, so making something "new" to work in a specific way is too risky. That is my point.
And in the next invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq/Canada the local resistance will end up dressed as civilians (either duplicitously or as a consequence of there not being any military left with supply chains of uniforms) - and the actual civilians then all get targeted by the robots.

I don't want to argue the point (but I also am not dismissing your points, the position I put forward is definitely not unassailable), but I think there's an opportunity to make my original point better here, which is; sometimes we get trapped in the logic of our own systems and fail to think outside the box. Is it monoculture or low-N culture really required? Or is it a local optimum we lack the imagination to see beyond?

What got you here might not get you there. You can go really far with a monolithic web app running on top of a relational database. But if you scale far enough, you'll need to pull some pieces out and hook them up to databases with relaxed constraints.

There are good engineering reasons for us to do things the way we do them, and maybe it was the only feasible way for us to get to this point. But presumably if we continue to grow, we will enter a different phase with a different set of tradeoffs. That phase will probably involve exerting less control, it will probably also involve worse unit economics, but may also scale further with fewer externalities.
Okay, so for 70 years, Germans have cared about human rights a tad bit more emotionally than most other nations in the Western sphere.

AVR was cool, but I have moved on to RISC-V (ch32v, esp32c...).
Ah, the good old days where computers had a serial port and you could assemble an AVR programmer on a breadboard to flash an AVR and build a USB programmer.. Programmer bootstrapping ?

But you're right, the tooling has come a long way. The proliferation of ARM in so many domains means lowly microcontrollers can benefit, as opposed to being bound by the manufacturer or community size.

Hopefully RISC-V will improve this even further.
> Synthetic fertilizers is the required technology and accepting that is the wisdom.

Again, I don't want to get into a debate about agriculture, I'm trying to discuss the quote, but these are the types of assumptions I'm suggesting are worth questioning.

The question is, are there ways to exert less control and get better outcomes? I'm not suggesting we let 80% of people starve. I'm suggesting we not be obsequious to the logic of the technology we've already built, when deciding on what to build next. (I elaborate in a cousin comment.)

Consider that in the extreme, if you have a linear supply chain with Haber-Bosch on one end and a landfill on the other - when you scale to enough people, you will also have mass starvation. Haber-Bosch isn't a "wisdom we accept" or "the" definitive technology. It has tremendous application, but it isn't magic. We're not simply done innovating in this area.
The laws are written in such a way to protect tenants from landlords.

> To me, seems like this is what we describe today as a “comatose” state. Is the individual “brain dead” or did the person sustain so much damage that it required an “emergency brake”.

I’m not sure what you are talking about, but “comatose” and “brain dead” are two very different states. If you are brain dead you are not comatose.
People have been using these mice as mouse model of alzheimer's for decades, so there must be something here. It's not like the whole research direction was "wrong"
What did you select 1992? What is particular about that year. And do you really think property managers had sophisticated software to adjust rents in 1992? Computers in 1992 were pathetic. I guess you could use Lotus 1-2-3 from DOS.
Which is why I can’t understand why people still put so much effort into it. It’s one of those things humans will never do better than a machine.

It’s not like woodworking where the errors are part of the “soul” of the piece, or like creating art, where creativity is the core of the endeavor. It’s just trying to spin stupid planes on a stupid block as quickly as possible. Before you’ve even started, you’ve failed.

I also put running into this category. What are you going to do? Run a 0:00.00 mile? What’s the point of training to run faster? At some point we’ll decide someone is the fastest “natural” human and then we’ll move onto cybernetic humans because what are we going to do? Continue to watch people not be amazing?

I’m not sure what my overall point here is except to say I feel like when it comes to mechanical capability, shooting for the “best” is just stupid and pointless. When it comes to artistic capability, sky is the limit.
But you won't be able to throw one cube each 0.3s to keep them busy!
Yeah I mean, I agree with you on this stuff - I just wanted to make a point about production for use vs production for profit and how a manic fixation on the latter can lead to adverse outcomes. And, like I hinted at, I don't think Elon Musk really prioritized the former - in fact I don't think he understands the difference between the two - but he did cultivate a narrative around his personality and management style that led a lot of people to believe that he valued the former, including at his companies which shaped the culture there to some extent.
You do not have to delete the pictures you have taken in a common, public space, even if asked. You have the basic right to record your environment in public - this is to ensure that people are able to collect evidence in the case of crimes being committed in the public sphere, and its how - for example - bank cameras work.

This was a hack because —although Saab has a design criterion of STOL on improvised airstrips— MacDac assumes long runways.

(b) almost all the army personnel involved were militia, called up for a few week refresher course.

"corporate landlording" -- I like this term. I haven't heard it before. It sounds like it will go well on a rag newspaper for a front page headline.

Question about this so-called "corporate landlording": Tall apartment blocks in urban centers are exclusively build by corporations, as they require many millions in financing to build. What is your proposal for these urban centers?
You don't need to know if people live there, just raise tax enough so that the owner feels like renting or selling the building is better than paying the taxes out of pocket.

American colonialism is writ large - and still continuing - in the islands of Hawaii. It's sad for a country that proclaims itself to be the land of the free with a healthy respect for property rights.

But then, I guess Hawaiians and Native Americans (and Filipinos) could compare notes on this one. Oh, and Guam, Puerto Rico, the Marshall Islands, American Samoa, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing a fair few more.
You can cheat gravity with a centrifuge; when the alternative is on the scale of "let's freeze or boil away Venus's atmospheric", building a city-sized rotating cylinder to live in is trivial.

This makes it something that the average person cannot do; you're suggesting something that already requires more time and resources than 75% of the population has access to.

If you're serious about this than go talk to a non-tech person and tell them to self-host email and see how they do. Look at their challenges, build a solution and then offer it.

> U.S. officials said they had no information about the origins of the video. But they are particularly concerned about how Russia might employ such techniques to manipulate opinion around the war in Ukraine or even American political discourse.

Most likely this is meant to target trump supporters to encourage them to go vote for him because it highlights increased US support for Ukraine.
This article is preaching to the faithful. I recognize the techniques because I myself have, in the past, amused myself by becoming a false profit.

If the Science wants vaccines to be accepted whole-heartedly by the public it has to figure out why children become autistic and how to prevent this class of developmental deterioration.

As it is, the anti-vaxxers are doing Science by themselves, and elect themselves to be the control group. They’re using the prescientific observations that Measles and all the other vaccine-preventable illnesses are entirely survivable for mostly-healthy children, and the scientific fine print that suggests natural immunity is always better than vaccine-derived immunity (percentage of every outbreaks consists of people who didn’t get their measles booster, etc).

> […] the COVID-19 pandemic has only stoked vaccine misinformation and more anti-vaccine rhetoric.

My mom just had another case of the COVID-19, according to the probably-expired home COVID test. I don’t know how many times she’s been boosted. She said there’s no booster for the latest variant. Luckily she’s pulled through her latest SARS-CoV-2 infection. I’m sure as soon as the next booster is made available she’ll let her doctor administer it.

The response to “COVID” couldn’t have done anything more to increase “vaccine hesitancy”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28908797
Most organizations do not spend any time even thinking about that, nor considering it in their decision processes, nor prepare for it. An organisation that do, will have an IT architecture. For example limiting exposure in the first place. For example, they might chose to not have have any servers with Windows in the first place. They might have a thin client or web oriented workflow for endpoint applications, which make switching out Windows easier on employee mdchines. They might have already have multiple OSes in use, to check that critical systems can be successfully accessed without Windows. That said, it is of course a big endeavour.
Likely that it (or, specifically, East Jerusalem, West Jerusalem was Israeli both under the partition and the 1949 Armistice Agreement) is part of the territory Israel occupied after 1967 that wasn't Israel, despite later being decalred as annexed, and is generally not viewed internationally as Israeli territory.

Sure, that works too. The upside of just storing a random string is you don't ever need to deal with secret management, key rotation, ciphers getting broken, etc — the random string truly has nothing to do with the real underlying ID, so there's just less work involved in hiding it. The downside is some extra bytes and index space.

People do it because they like to, for reasons entirely up to them. Maybe they find it interesting. Maybe it’s therapeutic. Maybe it gives them a social opportunity. Maybe it’s fun to push your own limits, for its own sake. None of that is stupid or pointless.

You what now? :) I think you watched too many scifies and started to believe that the plot devices are reality. “Hybernation” is a thing in movies because the writers wanted to write stories involving humans and long space travel.

Given how many people work at Blue, I would suggest its more then four billion $. The Ariane 6 cost 5 billion $ or more. BlueOrigin has been spending almost 2 billion $ a year.

I think it's not important but probably an artifact of a standard notation, where we denote R as a clockwise Right face turn, and R' as anti-clockwise. The 180 turn can be done both ways, but we usually denote it as R2 instead of R2' (even if for human it will be more ergonomic to do a anti-clockwise turn) so the double-turns interpreted literally are double clockwise turns.
