I don't know. I'd use CUDA rather than experimenting with it; CUDA seems to be where all the investment is and my experience with OpenCL on AMD was so bad I don't feel the cross-platform argument would make any sense.

It is a bit of a chicken-egg problem for me. I couldn't make OpenCL work on an AMD GPU, so I didn't manage to learn that much about OpenCL. At the time I assumed it was just me, but in hindsight I never saw an OpenCL-based approach to a compute problem that worked reliably on my machine so maybe it wasn't.

But I don't think it really matters. The algorithms in the field don't seem to be hard and I never felt like I was struggling when implementing them on the CPU without any special API at all. My issues were conceptually similar to George Hotz's famous rants where he had crashes when running the demo app in a loop. In the experimenting phase I found I couldn't run code on the GPU with any API.

I'm sure the situation improved and part of it was just me; towards the end of my time with AMD I could run stable diffusion inference and it'd work great for 10-40 minutes before the kernel paniced or whatever - so it was definitely technically possible to get a "hello world++" style thing running. But I never felt it was the APIs that were holding me back.
> And the "if the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class" aphorism applies.

This is the kind of thing that's only repeated by slumming upper-class children, the same ones who live in Brooklyn, have leftist podcasts, and think it's actively good when you see someone smoking crack on the subway because it's "cool".

Actual working class people don't like it when other working class people speed near them or commit crimes!

(It's also a very American statement, because in other countries the upper class is not the people with the most money, it's the people with the most tradition and social status. Or they own a lot of land but are cash poor.)
Code Explorer – AI-Driven Code Analysis Chatbot
Code Explorer helps you find answers about your code by searching relevant information based on the programming language and folder location. Unlike chatbots, Code Explorer goes beyond generic coding knowledge. It leverages a powerful AI technique called retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to understand your code’s specific context. This allows it to provide more relevant and accurate answers based on your actual project.
>When you propose that a conspiracy happened, you propose that the purpose of something was different from the stated purpose.

Yes, but this doesn't mean that you know the actual purpose.

>So what purpose were you proposing?

I'm not proposing anything; I didn't propose a conspiracy happened, the OP did. I'm just explaining that the conspiracy theorist doesn't have to allege a specific purpose.

As for the curfews, my theory is that it was just plain anti-science stupidity, plus wanting to look like they're doing something, like many political decisions. If you disagree, please explain how someone riding a bicycle outdoors in a rural area with no other humans around somehow spreads a virus. Only countries with truly stupid leadership even had restrictions like these (i.e., UK, they're the only one I know of actually).
well sure. But if you were building this for actual usage, you'd have a separate cron-style tool that would monitor your picture folder (and its subdirectories) for new images. Feed aforementioned image into Llava or any number of image classifier APIs, embed classification information as IPTC data into the image file. Then give the CLI flag for the search tool the ability to do partial word search on metadata within images.

> If I would normally pay 35% taxes for the country's defense and social spending, but there's also servicing interest, I now have to pay 40% taxes

This is where interagency holdings and real debt burdens kick in. (Also, again, that 35% already includes interest payments already.)

Let's assume a rule that says no new borrowing and no spending cuts. There would need to be tax raises. But if we know one thing, we know it would be less than 5%. Even if we remove the 20% held by agencies [1], which is absolutely not a clean procedure, we know the number would still be less than 4%. Because that debt is nominally denominated, and you're making interest payments in the future with less-valuable money, and, of course, the double counting.

This is before we even touch monetising the debt. Taxation is a bad mental model for thinking about our federal debt. It's in some ways more benign, and other ways much nastier, than a simple tax increase.

Probably the lesson I'd take away from this example is that libc specifically often has surprising shared state, and you have to be really careful about using it from multiple contexts. And of course, you should avoid hammering a mutex from multiple threads -- but you already know that.
i was thinking that. would be an interesting idea for a ranking penalty: underweight early comments to compensate for the momentum they build just from being early.
I agree. But it doesn't help when engineers are always whispering in their ear about the supposed evils of premature optimization and that things are fast enough anyway.
The reason for building this is likely similar to why those ultra-thin buildings get built in new york. I don't know all the reasons, but there is a lot of one-upmanship with these ultra-ultra rich people that don't know what to do with all their money.

I was that kid (though I'd hit my head against walls, not punch myself), and 20 years later I can tell you that autism does have its advantages.

The suffering wasn't caused by my autism, but by society forcing me to behave in a way that was unnatural to me.

Now that I'm living on my own, able to shape my environment according to my needs, I'm not suffering anymore. I'm genuinely happy, and I've got a successful career in software engineering. And every day I experience situations where my autism helps me understand logical issues much more deeply, care for order much more (refactoring is <3), and allows me to speak out when needed.

I think the current version of their 3D cache does now extend over the cores and not just the cache of the underlying die.

The other big factor is that their cache chiplets are built with a fab process and standard cells that cannot tolerate high voltages, so the cores (which are on the same power rail) are constrained to not operate at the extreme end of the voltage/frequency curve where high-end desktop processors sacrifice everything to win a benchmark.

I don't think there's a good mechanism in place for "getting paid for saving the world" which is essentially what you're looking for.

Scott Alexander was working with some people on a kind of financial market for benefits from charitable projects; I forget the exact details but it allowed people to have shares which could go up in value (a lot) if there was sufficient later consensus that the intervention was beneficial. But I think that project is in a totally embryonic stage, it might never become mainstream, and it might not even be legally feasible to scale it up to something that would succeed in making you rich from your invention. But you could try to see if that mechanism is under development anywhere.

The basically mainstream mechanisms you can use are a patent (then you can get paid if people in a jurisdiction where your patent is enforceable openly practice your invention), a prize, or a grant from a grantmaker.

I just searched and saw that, for example, last year there was a prize for technical ideas to help address climate change:

https://wilkescenter.utah.edu/prize/2023-wilkes-climate-priz...

The dollar amount for that is probably a lot smaller than you want, but you might find that other people find your idea's benefits more speculative than you do. Maybe there are other prizes like that continuing to be offered.

For grantmaking foundations, I'd agree that you still do have a chicken-and-egg problem about how to begin negotiations.

If you're as confident about your idea as you sound, I'd also encourage you to set up some kind of mechanism (like with a lawyer, or with various online services) to ensure that the idea is eventually disclosed if anything happens to you.

PRNGs are one of those things that need to have global state if you want to get decent statistics out of them. You cannot have sets of threads fetching the same value from the PRNG - it will totally destroy how random the PRNG is. Thread-local PRNGs with separate seeds is the way to go if you need parallelism, and it was the author's solution, but I can easily see not knowing that and running into this.

Ask HN: Did your Stripe test credit cards expire in April too?
Just wanted to give a heads-up for a funny story I just found out, and see if others had the same issue.

I was testing a few things around billing locally and my test accounts showed an expired subscription. That seemed weird, but maybe someone else was testing some things on that account?

No, the "payment" failed last month and the subscriptions were canceled as a result.

The payment failed because the credit card had expired.

And the credit card had expired because Stripe uses `4242 4242 4242 4242` as their default test credit card and I have learned to just type 4 and 2 until all the fields are filled in. So the expiration date was filled in as 4/24 a long time ago and last April was finally 4/24. :)

I can't be the only one, right?

Google absolutely deletes data!

Will OpenAI kill me? (built with their API)
There's gotta be some middle ground.

The US seems to have one of the most vulnerable systems when it comes to identity theft, between SSNs being used as bearer tokens and utility bills being used as proof of residency.

National ID cards can be done in very concerning, but also very privacy-preserving ways. For example, the German ID card has an e-ID function that lets you assert minimal statements about yourself (e.g. you can provably assert "I'm over 18 years old and live in Berlin", without sharing your exact date of birth or name with the requesting party).

Something like that seems desperately needed in the US. Security questions (largely sourced from data in the public record) and taking a photo of your driver's license isn't going to cut it much longer, in a world of daily database breaches and plausible deepfakes.
This is just flat out poor / lazy engineering. “Yeah, well, I’ve heard stories of people moving away from pickle” is no substitute for actually analysing your use case and determining what tool/s are a good fit. The fact that absolutist claims like “tech debt from day one” are so easy to prove wrong should make it obvious that the reality is more nuanced than this. And the correct response is not to lecture me about why untrusted code execution is bad. Threat models are not cookie cutter, either.
Credit scores aren't a black box. The components are in the credit report and are pretty straightforward.

Also, it's not actually true that everyone uses credit scores. More recently companies use custom risk models because they see this as a competitive advantage. (Especially the afterpay companies like Klarna don't use them.)
As a rule, I avoid any text which, on the internet, purports to explicate the meaning of some work of art, high or low.

Even before large language models began remixing this drivel, it was drivel. There is no part of youtube more accursed than those videos which wish to tell me what some film or discerning work “means.”

One must elucidate such, if such exists, in oneself, and in the discussions of true critics. Never from that mumbling middlebrowery now being remixed into nonsense lowbrowery.
Eh, it's definitely interesting, but it's actually a group or people (or one person using the royal "We") who are running, and they are just prompting GPT4 as they go.

> What's your argument for landlordism not being theft? Shouldn't those people get a job too? Or is theft only a crime when poor people do it?

It is very simple. Theft is when you take something from someone without voluntary agreement. renters and landlords enter voluntary agreement. If a landlord has a job or not seems irrelevant. They didn't steal anything from anyone. Everything they have, they obtained through mutually consensual exchange.

How do you think landlordism could be considered theft? Is it just because people need/want shelter that they have?

Is a farmer who grows food a thief because people need food to live?

Is a doctor a thief because you die without surgery?

Is a mechanic a thief because your car needs repair?

In my mind, lacking, wanting, or even needing something does not mean that everyone who has it and charges you is a thief.
I'm merely pointing out that you're assuming ignorance simply because I have a different opinion to you. Having lived there myself, I'd like to think I have something of an understanding of the culture.

Freeloaders, admittedly a charged word, is how I'd view someone who helps themselves to something I've worked to pay for. How is that any different to a mugger stealing your phone or your wallet? After all, they're likely in a worse financial position than you. If you can afford to replace it, let them have at it.

> And anyone who has an extra house is 'well-off'.

I don't want to fall into a strawman here but my interpretation is that you're fine with criminals stealing from someone, as long as they're in a better financial position than you are. It's convenient to imagine that the only people falling victim to this are those who can afford to have their property stolen from them.

It did not.
