Yesterdays news is less than worthless, with the passage of time it is a liability - one which the "trusted brands" that are news outlets would rather we forget.

The UK's daily mail for example would rather we all forget that they were extremely pro Hitler and all he was doing.

On a shorter timeframe, we will only need to wait 3 weeks and for a new government in the UK and everything Moral and Right under one government is Repugnant and Wrong under a different government (and vice versa).
I have a 2012 Mac mini server running Monterey right now thanks to Open Core. Still getting security updates (for now at least). Too many reported issues with Ventura and Sonoma to bother trying them.
What's the point of having such a goal? Seems like additional overhead if you need to remember and go out of your way to do such a trivial commit.
Why today's phones are so boooooring?
Yes, in reality I do both as well. I dual-boot my PC, I have two 1 terabyte SSDs in it, one for Linux, and one for Windows. The online multiplayer stuff I do on the Windows partition, it has the launchers, discord, and a bunch of things like that - and none of my personal data, just what's very strictly necessary for gaming, and even then, I'm often 100 years old, and live at "Screwyou Avenue 1" and things like that. And on my Linux partition I live my real life, but even that has the Steam launcher with some games, which I play not particularly isolated from anything else.
I wonder if there should be a less-speculative investment arm whose entire model is "pick up the nonscalable businesses venture firms find and can't commit to". Sounds really interesting, actually! You need the speculation to find the niche, but then you need the not-speculative approach to exploit it.
Awesome! You should add some kind of "automatic import from Suno" for the audio. :)
Yes, but I think this and (un)paid sabbaticals may attract a elite talent that is in short supply (at least in the US). But then again this is my speculation.
If I had sold my share when they gained 250% then I would have been out of Nvidia years ago.

My initial shares on Nvidia have gained >10000%, on average I'm at >5000%.

The time to get out of Nvidia is when you the value of their business model goes down. Fortunately, many don't even understand the business value behind Nvidia's activites as they think Nvidia = AI chips only.
I use AI pretty heavily but as a tool to help me scale up my usual work and cover more ground than I otherwise could (so very much "human in the loop"). So AI makes me and many other people money, but not through the direct provision of AI services to the public (though even there, it's all over the place - Bloomberg has AI news analysis and stuff in their terminal now, for example).
This is what I thought the internet wiuld become, back in the 1990s, just tons of projects like Povray. Not addeictive dark pattern trillionaires, see the recent Eli Gray article posted on HN how big tech enables link fraud for example. This was before FAANG existed as it does now. Apple was a struggling PC maker and Microsoft was the evil empire being challenged by a Finnish college student. Sun and SGI and DEC were big tech and they made you know… actual tech. It was this crazy dream that it would last like that forever, that the internet would just be one huge BBS of Povray style people, makers and users, who were interested in art and science above all else. Nobody was thinking you could contract third parties of poor people to screen out death videos on your BBS so they would have PTSD but you could make billions. Nobody was thinking to clickfarm children.
v3 gives more variation, v3.5 is all very Taylor Swift style. seems totally overfitted.
Our team is slowing down instead. The quality of the code has become so poor, full of bugs and what not, that we have decided to slow down and instead invest in quality. We currently spend so much time fixing bugs and refactoring spaghetti code to shoehorn the next shiny new feature, that the amount of actually useful features we deliver has decreased. Half-assed features which work on paper but totally unusable for users because we're still at MVP where nothing really works but the PM is happy because he can report to CEO we shipped another cool feature. It's actually quite demotivating to learn that no user actually uses the feature you developed because it's total crap. Yes, we shipped often, but we shipped crap.

Now we focus on writing more tests and doing more design reviews.
Certainly not. We typically would talk about hundreds of millions to billions of rows.

Just trying to reproduce the use case...Also tried with the Parquet file from the support ticket. Around 90,000 rows...

> Most roads are very narrow.

The thing is, you get used to it. Living in an eastern european country that hasn't caught up on infrastructure, I'm used to driving on narrow winding roads.

What happened when I first drove a couple hundred km on a freeway[1]? I had to ask everyone else in the car to keep me talking because I was literally falling asleep.

[1] Or whatever the US term is for the roads with at least 2 lanes, directions separated by a fence and grade separated intersections.
They already added e2ee. If I long-press a message right now and press "show more information" it says "Message with RCS with end-to-end encryption".

Their own documentation claims as much: https://support.google.com/messages/answer/10252671?hl=en

But it is the google-only RCS. If your provider have their own RCS implementation, tough luck.
Please provide more information about what this does before immediately asking for me to set up an account.

> I love Noam Chomsky so much.

I don't. There are some things out there that are up for debate. But not Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Chomsky, for some weird reason, chose to take Russia's side.

I have a friend that still rocks 12 hours a day at 49. The only difference is that now he takes pain killer for his back or he can't focus.

But he does everything like this, not just coding.

> These LLMs are not about helping anyone, their goals are engagement and mining data for that engagement.

Wow, this is a really interesting idea! A sneaky play for LLM providers is to be helpful enough to still be used, but also sufficiently unhelpful that your users give you additional training data.
I think these days Apple Silicon is more of an umbrella term for the packaging of their CPUs, GPUs and NPUs.
In smaller companies you can negotiate it as my friend did.

There is some stigma around "diy sabbaticals" (leaving job without new one), my fiance and family was quite surprised and frustrated for proposing to leave a "high paying job where I don't have a lot of work/stress" without new one in toughy developer market with lot of layoffs.
> as long as they have access to their email and phone number they can reset their passwords.

At best they spend hours and hours up to days resetting the passwords for all the account they ever had. Looking at my password list, there's 700 or them, it would take me a week of my life, if I ever get to do it at all.

At worst they actually can't access their email and it's the end (or a week or two of back and forth sending official documents to get it back ?)

> Google

As a first point: they don't have to go all Google. They can have a Google account solely for their phone, and have everything elsewhere. That's a nobrainer as long as they have a solid password manager. You call it hodgepodge, but that's just what we've doing for the last centuries.

The issue of a service unilaterally killing an account isn't limited to Google. Apple will also kill your account if they assume you misbehave, and you might get someone on the phone, while not getting any resolution.

Do we hear it more about Google ? sure. But Google is also in the biggest service provider on earth at this point.
seems a decent explanation
"Indie app publishers are screwed." - that was one of the first things I thought about.
Maybe because the outside environment is so hostile to kids that being inside on their phones and tablets is more appealing?
Right, if we reductively summarize any process then nothing really matters. Its sort of like saying "hendrix operated a string instrument"
The obvious part to invest in Nvidia was 2015/2016 when they started to make money in data center.

Nvidia managed to move the GPU into data center and started to compete with Nvidia but actually creating a new market because CPU and GPU data centers weren't direct competitors since they are designed for different types of compute.

From 2016 to 2022, so long before ChatGPT, Nvidia's DC revenue has been growing 50-100% YoY but because it started small, it was overshadows by shortages and crypto in the finances. But the indication was there.

My investment in 2016 was on Nvidia building data center platforms for machine learning as I have listened to GTCs back then as well. Nvidia could have stopped the gaming business at any time, I wouldn't mind as it was never considered in my investment thesis.
Yes, and if you recreate parts of what you learned you might run into copyright issues. Too much inspiration from something you've studied, and it becomes a derivative work subject to all the regulations. And there are no clear and strict rules, it is always a judgement call.
Can you explain what that pi thing is for?
So they finally got it working?
I mistyped my comment. Nvidia was an obvious buy when their p/e was extremely low yet all of their product was in demand. AMD released Zen which gave Intel a huge run for its money right before spectre and meltdown. That is not hindsight, that is fundamental trading.

It is ok to miss out on these opportunities, not everyone pays attention. But to call it the benefit of hindsight is a misnomer
The fact that Andrej Karpathy is part of OpenAI is giving me at least a bit of hope that the company is not going to ruin society as we know it…
You see it in denials of 10x engineers, pushes for tooling to standardize everything, tons of transitive dependencies, obligatory blog posts about how tech is "really just about working well with others" and an overall un-seriousness about actually building things.

Would any GPU - even an old one - work for training these models?

I have a bunch of little home apps/ideas for some specific training I'd like to do, but don't currently have any recent GPU of note. Just a few old ones in my attic somewhere.

EDIT: ah someone has posted a blog post in the comments with some info

I spent so many hours with POV-Ray when I was younger, rendering LEGO models I had made with MLCAD.

Some of those renders even found their way into a project I did in school for CAD class.
I see the point in this. While PC can do everything, we can specialize it ways, and if we separate the concerns, it enables further specialization. In fact I think (and experienced) that such separation enables a healthier lifestyle as well. I can do things like the gaming notifications not entering when I'm focused on administration, and similarly, I don't get the life planner updates while I'm gaming. If one has the resources to compartmentalize, I think it's a worthwhile effort.
I dint understand how this works without also creating the ecosystem that worms depend on.

Irish and Italians in my area would beg to differ. I'll grant it wasn't federal policy, at least.
Video transcoding at scale seems such a "solved problem" nowadays, I'm surprised YouTube hasn't moved to baking ads into the main video stream directly when they're served to non-Premium users - they control the player so could still let people skip them after certain time periods, etc. Maybe the revenue lost to extra compute needed doesn't balance out yet.
The Polish democratic opposition used to do this in the 80's, during the communist era. As far as I remember, their technique relied on balloons, they would attach a homemade antenna and tape player to a balloon, set it on a timer and release the balloon into the air. Before the transmission started, they'd be long gone and the balloon would have drifted far from the original site, making the perpetrators much harder to track down. As a bonus, they'd get an antenna high up in the air (which is good for reception), which was also hard to disable, even if you managed to pinpoint its location.
Picking Erlang for number crunching is a Bad Idea™. You can use NIFs in C or Rust though for expensive computations. If you play to its' strengths it outshines the competition eg WhatsApp and 99.999999999% of uptime (that is a few seconds of downtime per year). Horses for courses.

I wonder what subtle differences are there between road codes across countries.

For example, in my romanian road code you are not permitted to turn right at a red light unless there is a separate green blinking arrow pointing that way (and no, the blinking green isn't always there). I know that in the US the default is you can turn.

How about stopping on the side of the road? Here it's permitted anywhere it's not explicitly forbidden. And I think taxis have an exception and they can really stop anywhere for a few moments to pick up/drop people. They may get cursed at but it's legal.

Oh i'm paying that as well, i'm talking about backing up the photos stored in iCloud, and preferably in an automated way.

Apple's official documentation[1] simply says to login manually to icloud.com, select the photos you want to backup, and download a ZIP file. I have 3.5TB photos in iCloud...

It's enough that i can't even purchase a Mac that has the needed amount of storage, nor should it be necessary to mirror all data locally before backing it up. All i want is a way to backup my iCloud Photos locally without storing them twice (locally). It works for Documents in iCloud, and Arq handles those well, but because Photos is "special", when it stores "optimized versions" of your photos, it actually replaces your local versions with lower resolution images, so even if you backup your iCloud photo library, you still don't have all the data.

I am fully aware that is a spectrum.

But I believe that if you make criminal umbrella term for anyone who jaywalks to hitler and everything in-between then its quite useless term.

Because using it doesn't tell you much and you have to make multiple qualifiers.

You can have a spectrum of autism with rough labels that give you an idea of state of the person.

It's a matter of surface area to somehow trigger the automated detection that kills an account.

With 1Password, I can only really think of payment issues (ultimately, everything within your account is just a matter of sharing a binary blob they can't read - maybe if you try to use it as a file store and the size becomes excessive), whereas with Apple, I'm not entirely certain what they could read on my machine that could trigger them (hopefully with Advanced Data Protection, this is a small surface area).

But you are right, both of them could cause headaches.

Lip's history. My father knew Neuschwander, so maybe i'm biased, but Lip was truly an example of what anarcho-syndicalism can and should be, and survived 5 years despite fighting both a government and all the industry leaders, because it couldn't be allowed to work.

I think US historians wrote books on it, but often fail to mention that after (or really, a bit before) Neuschwander took control, the metal and steel industry that sold them metal gave them structurally deficient steel, poor quality copper and were largely inconsistent in their metal delivery, being late for months, then giving them all the late commands at the same time, stretching or overflowing their storage. The luxury store and industry wasn't any better (one more reason to hate LVMH and never support them as a French), leaving their products in inventory and not in display, rejecting previously accepted commands, and limiting foreign exports to less than the number of exported goods than when Lip watches had to be smuggled. The courts and police didn't help and (according to what i heard: this is a biased account) refused to take any declaration.
I think you misinterpreted OP's comment. Apple makes it sound like there's smth new, but there isn't. They don't have to innovate, but it's good practice to credit who've done what they're taking and using. Also to use the names everyone else is already using.
I didn’t understand this. If an indie developer provides an app a user pays for why should the UX choice of the user matter?

NVidia DGX Helios have 4 systems, where each has 144TB of shared memory between the GPUs. Which totals to 576TB, just enough to simulate the mouse. I wonder what kind of latencies are acceptable for simulating a mouse.
That depends on how apple decides to implement it. They are a huge player, and I am sure they can make some kind of agreement with google so that they can message through the jibe servers which use the signal protocol.
Very well said. I miss the early days of the internet. In addition: Event though the net was not very safe at the time (no/poor encryption, no much monitoring by officials etc.) it kind of felt differently. Many users where at least aware of the dangers of speaking with strangers and downloading things but today it's somehow of more deceiving. It looks nice and shiny on the outside but full of traps. Maybe because the 90s web was less "shiny" on the outside, it was less deceiving?

Maybe it's not the case, but I've been suspecting that at this point the worm, and even much more complex organism simulations can work well if enough work and compute is put on it, the development has just stalled and isn't especially well funded. This is only based on me quickly checking a while back how many commits they get, and how many new approaches are even tried and it didnt seem to be so much anymore.

I'm rooting for them though, it's a really cool project.

It happens again and again CURRENTLY that AI's behave exactly like Djinns. They do what you tell them, not always what you mean. Like, "Geologists Recommend Eating At Least One Small Rock Per Day". They make perfectly coherent advice, but sometimes it's hilariously wrong and AI doesn't know it's wrong. But people trust it anyway.
