Why wouldn't you hear this call year after year? It is a perpetual call, and while it will take years to move the needle, direction and velocity are what matter. I mean, would you hear about human rights in one year and that'd be the end of it? Definitely challenging with the individual exceptionalism mindset, despite the overwhelming data, but rarely is important work ever easy.

Just speculation on my part, but I think what they're concerned about is that if time doesn't actually exist and we're all just part of a static crystal, then free will can't exist because everything already happened at once.

It's the ultimate form of determinism: not only is everything predetermined but it already happened and we're just experiencing it as though it hasn't yet.
To be fair, the national average interest rate is only ~0.46%, which is insanely low considering how many banks are now offering 4-5%. Offering 2x the national average is still low.

The $10M random number drawings are definitely shady as hell, though.
This project is great, but I'm by far not a poker nerd and seems like the answer would be something like "print out a few tables of common options / player-counts, and just pick the closest".

The UK does some things well but they are behind the USA (and other developed countries) in cancer survival rates.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/11/uk-cancer-su...

Singapore has an authoritarian police state which prevents many of the chronic substance abuse problems that drive a significant fraction of US healthcare spending. I don't think Americans would be willing to accept that trade-off. Singapore is also nearly 100% urban which makes care delivery much more efficient.

The US healthcare system is a mess and needs reform. But we can't just copy other countries. We don't want to lose the best parts of our system or stifle innovation in (expensive) new drugs and medical devices.
Yes, it's impractically high: we exhale about 1kg of carbon daily, so your plants collectively need to be getting about 1kg heavier daily to absorb that.

Because the EV industry has reached a new maturation stage in which companies lower prices to capture market share.
With these longstanding open problems, it's often not the result itself that is useful so much as the new techniques or the unification of previously unrelated branches of math that are invented/discovered to prove the result. Fermat's last theorem by itself didn't really lead to much new math, but the proof of it certainly did (and showed previously unknown relationships between modular forms and elliptic curves, and opened up new areas of research in number theory, algebraic geometry, and arithmetic geometry).
Only because they know Chinese EV will take 100% of the market if they do not come up with cheaper EV.
> Support isn't required for linux: I think there will be people who will be keen to hack up Linux support based on the open source code available, and the same with Windows.

I guess this is more of a marketing thing but I wouldn't be interested in buying this as a Linux user even with the other benefits if it came with unknown DIY support. If you're advertising it as an open source device and such then the people willing to play with it and pay a premium are typically Linux makers/hackers. If it's being sold as a Mac only device with a slick interface and app-only control that appeals to a different market entirely.

Yes. They are limited by facilities and labor that is dictated by provincial spending. Right now the government in Alberta is actively and publicly trying to reduce spending on the public system, and trying to use that as an excuse to go private. The number of doctors and facilities available is a direct function of money in other words. If you increased spending on doctors and facilities rather than reducing it like Alberta is doing, you will see a reduction in wait times.

You will find that triage is a fact of medical care in most places. I have waited hours in a private ER in the states multiple times. You have to wait months to see specialists in the states as well.

The US also has a triage system for care. First they filter by ability to pay, then they filter by doctor and facility availability like Canada does.

An American with no ability to pay will wait far longer than an Albertan for heart surgery.
It's pretty obvious that LLMs can be used to give instructions to machines, those machines could be hooked up to other sensors, like cameras with facial recognition, and actuators. Now imagine a Boston Dynamics DOG robot with a machine gun that can target specific people. This is already possible. If someone were to manufacture and let loose say 100 or 1000 in public, that seems pretty drastic...or flying drones, etc.

> The vast overwhelming majority of games are now effectively cross-platform

That's true (and Proton often works better than a native Linux build), but then there's the few games only run on Windows, often due to anti-cheat (see https://areweanticheatyet.com/). Unfortunately, a lot of developers aren't very interested in making it compatible even when it's definitely possible and not something they're opposed to, e.g. that list shows SMITE as compatible, but Paladins from the same company with the same anti-cheat as incompatible. Almost no games are Linux-only, many are Windows-only.

VR can also be a big headache, although I made it worse by getting WMR. Monado is getting there though.
I think in most cases it's wrong to treat HN opinion as a monolith, including in this case. There certainly are a lot of people here who think that LLMs are overhyped, but there are also many who find the current tools useful and expect them to improve dramatically in the near future. I think most people have a more nuanced view though.

There is without a doubt a lot of marketing and hype bullshit around AI right now, but that doesn't mean that there aren't reasons to be optimistic about LLM capabilities.

I do think that the strong divergence of opinions among knowledgeable people is interesting. No matter what your position is on this topic, there are smart people arguing against it. The thing I'm most confident about is that anyone being overly confident is likely to be wrong.
That’s typically the question with all marketing (probably cherry-picked) benchmarks. Have to wait until independent reviewers get their hands on them.
Great so they want to be able to brag how they’re automating away jobs while getting rich but not at risk for repercussions of their pay day. If you lift the disparagement clauses what will OpenAI employees have to say about the dangers of the product that feeds their wallet? Honestly what a dog and pony show.
I think the answer here is dedicated cores of different types on the same die.

Some cores will be high-performance, OoO CPU cores.

Now you make another core with the same ISA, but built for a different workload. It should be in-order. It should have a narrow ALU with fairly basic branch prediction. Most of the core will be occupied with two 1024-bit SIMD units and a 8-16x SMT implementation to hide the latency of the threads.

If your CPU and/or OS detects that a thread is packed with SIMD instructions, it will move the thread over to the wide, slow core with latency hiding. Normal threads with low SIMD instruction counts will be put through the high-performance CPU core.
A lot of people are commenting about how this isn’t better than pre-fab or other existing methods. And it is not, for the purposes of constructing same-style buildings.

But I don’t use my 3D printer for things I can order off Amazon or that I need 1,000 replicas off that I can get injection molded. I use it for unique designs and prototyping or one-offs.
I think that is where “3D printed” homes will find their niche too.

No, you're not crazy. A ton of theoretical physics in the past several decades has gone into wild speculation about things we're able to mathematically justify and therefore imagine logically.

That doesn't inherently mean it's the only possibility, just that it is one that fits what we know about the math right now.

Newbie question, if the cores share an L3 cache, does that factor in the branch prediction vulnerabilities? Or is the data affected by the vulnerability stay in caches closer to the individual core? I assume so otherwise all cores would be impacted but I’m unclear where it does sit

Exactly

Interestingly, in a philosophical way, you might never be able to know the “original signal”, since any signal can also technically be the alias of an infinite number of other signals, including the one used for sampling
This seems to have tremendous potential, and not just for geothermal!

However, one issue with geothermal that I didn't see addressed is that iirc, geothermal systems start out great, but as water/fluid is pumped down and back up hot, minerals rapidly deposit themselves on the plumbing and decrease the system efficiency and ultimately kill it. Could this system be used to more quickly, cheaply, and regularly perform maintenance, or is this just one good step to get broad geothermal applications, and that remains a problem to be solved?

It's be great to hear from any experts in the field - thx!

L0 latency is 4 cycles while old L1 was 5 cycles, so it's definitely a new cache even though the size is the same.

Apple does a lot better. I'm not sure about newer chips, but M1 has the same 192kb of L1, but with the 4 cycle latency of Intel's tiny 48kb cache.
I built mine before the 5 was released. I ended up running Ubuntu server on the nodes and configure them all using ansible playbooks (installing tailscale, k3s, updates, OS tweaks, etc.). I started looking at helm but there is so much inconsistency using community helm charts. I think writing my own would have been a better approach instead of templatizing my manifests and playbooks and doing it that way, however it is very easy to stand up a new service (assuming it's only 1-2 pods). If I end up DRY'ing my deployments it could end up being not too bad as a distinct deployment method from IaC or helm.

I get the idea, but a lot of these examples seem dubious to me. Between Facebook's advertiser interest groups and Tiktok's "uncanny" subconscious-tapping For You page, the Spotify example is pretty benign?

> Spotify sees us like a data structure when it tries to play music it thinks we will like based on the likes of people who like some of the same music we like.

I see how data structures figure into the implementation, but it's also easy to see how "music recommendations crowdsourced from people with similar taste" is a desirable goal. I'd assume that Spotify had to "restructure" its data to get this to provide better recommendations and run more efficiently.

I think you'd have a much easier time selling the dystopian/soulless vibe looking at Pandora and their Music Genome Project [0] (even if it actually provides really good recommendations, in my experience anyway).

Other examples I just don't see where the data structure is. "Thai Food Near Me" is SEO-optimized or whatever, but in the end it's just a catchy name, not really materially different from calling your shop "World's Best Cup of Coffee".

The current systems don’t have the capability to update their knowledge and can’t really perform complex reasoning.

> How much would it cost to fund an open source alternative ecosystem?

It already exists in the form of the Fediverse. You have alternatives to twitter (mastodon), reddit (lemmy), youtube (peertube), instagram (pixelfed) and others, all interconnected but distributed, open source, and without ads. Apparently it costs less than 100$ a month to run a fairly large instance, but I imagine that cost would grow as the Fediverse as a whole continues growing. It's not without its downsides, but it's there.
