My point is that Strix Point and M4 Pro/Max will likely release at around the same time based on reports and historical trends.

M4 is already out. We know Zen5's performance. Therefore, we can conclude that the gap between M4 vs Zen5 is higher than M3 vs Zen4.

You seem to be very sensitive when it comes with AMD.
> since SCAD is "just text", it is categorically easier to work with.

I'm happy that you have found the tool you like. I would be vary to be so categorical about something which is fundamentally a preference on your part. I'm not here to tell you that your choice of tool is wrong, and I expect the same courtesy back.

When I'm designing I'm creating 2d drawings and 3d bodies. Seeing those things and directly manipulating them is a big benefit for me.

This orrery is the most complicated 3d object I ever designed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGdjk5fY87s In particular the roundish bent shape which fixes the upper bevel gears together and holds the reducer gear train at the right depths while also holding the planet's shaft at the right angle. I have no idea how I could have designed that without graphical feedback.
Please provide a better unbiased link to this testimony and I will request that it is replaced.
I feel like code/text first solutions make a ton of sense to programmers, after having learned how to program.
Once you wrap ur head around how to use text to describe behavior, it’s obviously the right way to do it.

I wonder what non programmers think about it though. It’s hard to see past the bias
I 100% believe that you are not a hypochondriac and did expect you to have corroborating evidence of such. I was writing in criticism your doctor’s initial assessment and of doctors in general.

I was also throwing information over a wall on the off chance that the information would be useful to a third party that may not yet know about hEDS and hEDS related comorbidities.
Fantastic work.

I have little idea what you are referring to. During snow removal the streets need to be clear.
A related thought I had thinking about this:

If we placed a giant sign around Earth stating, 'This planet does not exist,' and considering that Earth will not survive the Sun's demise in 5 billion years, would it be a paradox for aliens in galaxy GN-z11, located 13.4 billion light-years away, to observe this sign?
Visible light is different, because each photon has a lot more energy than in the 2.3GHz range. Your average decent consumer-level camera has a sensor that can nominally just about detect single photons some proportion of the time (as in, some of them bounce off instead of being detected) though it can't technically count them. The graininess on digital camera images is more from the Poisson noise of the incoming photons than it is from the applied noise of the sensor itself.
Just curious, if you had to estimate- about how many decisions do you make each day where you reference a scientific study?

The primary takeaway from this transcript is that republicans decided to waste another 14 hours of Fauci’s time.
“Maxwell’s theory only becomes simple and elegant once we start to think of the fields (mathematical functions) as being primary and the electromagnetic stresses and mechanical forces as being a consequence of such fields, and not vice-versa.”

There is a lot of interesting discussion on whether fields are real, and the dialogue goes back centuries: https://youtu.be/j2oSyAfPzWg?si=BHRv8lodGhqZBtbl

> The core issue is that the system is just not good at catching outliers, and the only conceivable way to do so would be incredibly wasteful and expensive.

But in this case, I don't think it would be "incredibly wasteful and expensive." The case study stated, "On her ED visits, she was discharged with the diagnosis of alcohol intoxication, despite her reports of no alcohol intake, corroborated by her family." She didn't need some expensive diagnostic test for a diagnosis, she needed a doctor to pay attention to what she and her family were saying.
I'm impressed by the speed, it's probably the fastest such tool I've ever used. Congrats!
Yes, AMD is not using the leading-edge node. The older node is cheaper/has better yield and more importantly has much larger supply than N3, which Apple has likely completely devoured.

I am personally very curious how it compares vs Intel's 15th gen, which is rumored to be on Intel 20 process.
I don't believe your claim about migrating to rust being untenable. Primarily because I worked at Google where I've seen them migrate the codebase consistently through years of development and language updates. If an enormous company like Google can switch CPU architectures, change their numeric types, change out their hash maps, etc, then yes you can migrate to using a whole new language. (If Google thought this was impossible, why bother with carbon?)

I say this confidently because I've worked directly with people doing this and seen their work.

I will claim one better and say: you can migrate to idiomatic rust (with help from some custom libraries)

Should companies do this? Depends on the industry and the needs for the kind of safety rust provides

> It's not nothing

It's relatively nothing. It's white-collar slap-on-wrist stuff. The only difference is your efforts to tie it with crucially pivotal presidential campaign business. The wild claim you know Trump "knew he wouldn't win" unless he covered it up, is a glaring stretch.

Many voters didn't want Hilary, for various reasons. They would have stayed the course, unmoved by scandalous naughty interactions from years ago. Even after Trump's sexist and sorry "locker room talk" caught on mic, women still voted for him. Ask yourself why. Then ask yourself, if they weren't shaken by misogynistic locker-room talk, would they be shaken by sordid Stormy stories. Highly unlikely.

Likewise, many voters don't want Biden. For whatever reason - maybe it's less about Biden and more about not wanting Dems, or Harris after she stared into the camera at Americans and said with a straight face "the border is secure". Maybe that's why people will vote for a convicted felon whose dishonesty about the stationary cupboard is the lesser evil.

> So yeah, you would not be asking these questions had you paid attention to the trial.

I would and I did. Just as millions of others did. I'm asking the questions and all you have is "you don't understand, $130,000 violation, convicted felon etc". If you're trying to convince me of anything having "discovered" my vacuous understanding on the subject, you have failed.

> First of all, approximately no one does it anyway - one would have to take effort finding out sources from opposite ends of political spectrum

It's enough to just read a proper newspaper regularly. There will be content written by a variety of people, so you'll automatically be exposed to different opinions, It doesn't need to be the full spectrum, even.

> You just expended twice the energy to read twice the amount of lies

Are you claiming that all news sources publish lies exclusively here…?

Other than that, opinions don't need to cancel each other out. You just need to be aware of a different view on things to even consider that some other viewpoint might resonate with you more. If you only ever heard, say, abortion opponents, their arguments may seem reasonable and sound to you, so much that you don't question their claim to be right; but the moment you get exposed to critical voices, you're in the position to even decide which side's arguments convince you.

If, instead, you opt to just blindfold yourself, you stop participating in democratic processes—which is a civic duty—and let other people decide for you. Every human has beliefs, compassion, morals, a sense of what's right and wrong. If we don't fight (intellectually) for those, we can equally well just drop them altogether.

Almost certainly Zen 5 won't have single-cycle FP latency (I haven't heard of anything doing such even for scalar at modern clock rates (though maybe that does exist somewhere); AMD, Intel, and Apple all currently have 3- or 4-cycle latency). And Zen 4 already has a throughput of 2 FP ops/cycle for up to 256-bit arguments.

The thing discussed is that Zen 4 does 512-bit SIMD ops via splitting them into two 256-bit ones, whereas Zen 5 supposedly will have hardware doing all 512 bits at a time.

None of the findings here are surprising. Covid was a real special time in politics because you could see politics impacting decisions on a daily basis.

It seems that basically across all aspects of Covid (masking, social distancing, biz closures, school closures, lockdowns, etc...) you got one answer if you listened to mainstream media and the govt but a completely different answer if you looked at the underlying evidence.

Probably my "favorite" (ie the one that drove me the most crazy) was the school closures. From the very start you could skim the daily case numbers and see that worldwide, kids made up a small percentage of those infected and an even smaller percentage of those that died. Nevertheless though you always got the same narrative from leaders about the dangers of Covid to kids.

Any pushback on the official narrative and the usual response was "well you're not a doctor so what do you know" which drove many people insane because for things like school closures, you didn't need anything above a basic understanding of statistics to see that the official narrative was complete BS.

I'm honestly really glad that moment in time is behind us.

The good news is that electric car charging will be mostly done whenever power is cheapest and demand is lowest so it should be the easiest possible extra demand for the grid to support.
I don't think you're misinterpreting the testimony but I do think you're drawing too strong of a conclusion. The fact that one official couldn't remember a scientific basis during a 14 hour interview doesn't mean there wasn't one.
In primary care, I used to smell sinus infections/strep as a patient walked in the room for their “sick visit” and felt confident enough to diagnose without swabbing but I still swabbed anyway to avoid antibiotics for viral infections. I’ve long left primary care for hospital and concierge medicine so now c diff stool and melena get me usually.

There was this one time in residency I had a tiny older lady from a very rural town come in with a festering breast wound. One breast was normal sized and the other was 4x size of the normal one. Almost the size of a medium watermelon. Turns out it was necrotizing breast cancer and severe cellulitis. She didn’t recall much about why it took her this long to seek help. Her kids pleaded her to get it checked out but she had a deep mistrust of healthcare workers it wasn’t until the smell was unbearable for her family that they brought her in. The whole ED smelled of rotten infected flesh and no amount of winter fresh and peppermint oil was able to help the smell. That was about 10 years ago and I still remember that day and smell.

> Hamas is ... right to protest the treatment of Palestinians.

The reality is much more nuanced and quite frankly contradictory to this simplistic viewpoint. What are Hamas' goals - some kind of peaceful solution or the violent destruction of Israel and expulsion of most Jews from the area? I tend to say the latter.
Also, calling what Hamas did on October 7th 'protest' seems weird to me. It committed a massacre and knew damn well it was starting a war.

I think you're picturing a different level of the network stack than I had in mind. Yes, above the physical level they will be explicitly using very sophisticated codes. But I think physically it is the case that messages are transmitted using pulses of photons, where a pulse will contain many photons and will lose ~5% of its photons per kilometer when travelling through fiber (which is why amplifiers are needed along the way). In this case the "repetition code" is the number of photons in a pulse.
A bit morbid, but very true. You have to be exceptionally disciplined to keep a codebase tidy.

The difference is intel chips that support AVX-512 run $1,300 - $11,000 with MUCH higher total system costs whereas AMD actually DOES support AVX-512 on all it's chips and you can get AVX-512 for dirt cheap.

I’ve been running some LLMs on my 5600x and 5700g cpus, and the performance is… ok but not great. Token generation is about “reading out loud” pace for the 7&13 B models. I also encounter occasional system crashes that I haven’t diagnosed yet, possibly due to high RAM utilization, but also possibly just power/thermal management issues.

A 50% speed boost would probably make the CPU option a lot more viable for home chatbot, just due to how easy it is to make a system with 128gb RAM vs 128gb VRAM.

I personally am going to experiment with the 48gb modules in the not too distant future.
In part, I would guess, because if they did that, there would be a much higher likelihood that payment processors would decide to blacklist the Red version of the service—something they can't really do with just the adult streams on Twitch as it stands.

I would further guess that this would only be one aspect of the broader marginalization of the Red version of the service—they wouldn't be promoting it openly on the main Twitch, because that would antagonize the "think-of-the-children" types, and it would no longer benefit from cross-recommendations and from people watching a Call of Duty stream until 11PM, and then noticing in the sidebar that their favorite adult streamer has come online and switching over to them. They would probably even suffer from the one quasi-legitimate excuse the payment processors have for banning adult sites: much higher rates of chargebacks, as people with overly judgmental and insufficiently communicative significant others try to hide them on their credit card statements (or any of a bunch of other reasons).

It would be great if we could collectively treat sex work as work, just like any other form of selling our bodies and minds to support ourselves—and, indeed, for the time being that is effectively what Twitch is doing, and in doing so benefits both themselves and these streamers, who otherwise would have to use more stigmatized platforms with much less reach.
There's something wrong with your M3 Max stuff. I believe it comes in 14 and 16-core variants while the M3 Pro comes in 11 and 12-core variants.

In any case, M3 Max uses less than 55w of power in CPU-only workloads while a desktop 7950x peaked out at 332w of power according to Guru3D (without an OC).

The fact that M2 Ultra hits so close while peaking out at only around 100w of CPU power is pretty crazy (M2 Ultra doesn't even hit 300w with all CPU and GPU cores maxed out).
For hobbyist use you can just pick a random value and it'll usually work. Open-source hardware can get a product ID for free from https://pid.codes. Small-run commercial hardware can usually get a free product ID from the maker of their USB-capable chip. And once you're big enough that you're designing your own chip, $6,000 isn't such a big deal anymore.

So yes, you are technically right, but it really doesn't matter all that much in practice. USB is by far one of the most accessible major hardware standards out there.
