I've been poking around this week and there's actually quite a few useful models on Bedrock (this is region dependent!) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/models-...

Claude Opus is supposedly only available in us-west-2, but is listed as "Unavailable" for me (Sonnet and Haiku are available). Cohere's Command R+ is also available and while less capable, for instruction following, I believe its superior to Anthropic's models. There's also Llama 3 70B Instruct and Mistral Large, both which are good for general tasks.

For those that haven't been closely following/testing the models available, I think Artificial Analysis' Quality vs Price charts isn't too bad a place to start https://artificialanalysis.ai/models although if you have specific tasks, it's best to eval some models are surprisingly good/bad at specific things.

Titan appears to be bad at everything though.

You're wildly mistaken about what's going on - the feature was already opt-in. The feature literally didn't work unless you went into settings and manually entered an OpenAI key. That is literally the definition of "opt-in".
It's a perf leak, not a correctness issue, as with std::unordered_map. So yes, you can just push_back() each item, and as with std::unordered_map the worst case is linearly worse than the Right Thing™.

Verisk shut down that business unit, but is still in operation.
This might come down to definitions, but I don't think "liberal" and "conservative" are good descriptions of the political left and political right.

Liberalism is, or should be, an ideology of democracy, human rights, and personal freedom. Conservative is, or should be, valuing the rule of law, traditional mores, and personal integrity. These two sets of values are in tension, but they aren't opposites. Giving up one doesn't automatically give you the other. If you're careless, you can lose both.

There's nothing "liberal" about a cancel culture ideology which equates speech with violence. And there's nothing "conservative" about a cult of personality that worships a mockery of moral character and undermines the rule of law.
JWST reveals 'cataclysmic' asteroid collision in nearby star system
Interesting. My understanding of how things get implemented is that all code runs essentially "async" by default, but the runtime scheduler can switch to running code synchronously when requested (runtime.LockOSThread) or necessary (e.g. "slow" calls to C via cgo).

I was not aware that file I/O isn't async on Linux. Even so, I'm pretty sure network I/O and channel operations (send/receive/select) are async via epoll. I'm not as sure about these, but I think time.Sleep and sync.Mutex.Lock suspend the goroutine as well.

>Is range seriously a problem for someone in Europe? US I kinda get it, superchargers help but they’re not perfect, but in europe?

For a lot of people yeah. The cars isn't just for trips to work and the supermarket (which sometimes can be done by foot, public transport or bicycle), but that same car is used for vacation trips in summer and winter with the whole family.

You can call it an edge case, but edge cases matter to car owners if they can only afford one car per household. Also, a lot of people in the EU work in one country but have family in another and commute by care quite often. Charging speed and infra density isn't there to suport these cases.
Because “low tech” doesn’t mean cheap.

The tech components of cars makes up a small fraction of the cost, but represents significant value.
So the unit economics of electric cars are quite different from gas cars (ICE = internal combustion). Electric car companies don't make money on low cost cars -- and neither can ICE cars!

Basic ICE cars are essentially sold at cost, sometimes as loss leaders, because the manufacturers make a long-tail of money supplying parts and maintenance for the cars over their lifetime; for 10-20 years they now have a (variable) recurring revenue stream. So a lot of automakers' incentives are to get as large of a fleet as possible.

Electric cars inherently have much less of a maintenance burden because there are way fewer moving parts in a motor versus an engine. For example, there's no oil changes ever 3k miles or timing belts to replace ever 30k miles.

That means, for electric car companies, business model options are

a) introduce SaaS subscriptions for electronic features (a - la Tesla Autopilot premium, supercharger network subscriptions)

b) introduce unnecessary complexity to increase maintenance revenue (gullwing doors)

c) sell at a profit margin off the factory. Can have higher margins and higher total profit for luxury cars versus basic cars

And Tesla's recent push towards robotaxis of their existing fleet would be a totally killer disruption of the unit economics by generating recurring revenue off their fleet.

So all the incentives for electric cars point towards high tech luxury, not basic eco-cars. There may be an exception to the rule in some countries, and those may be related to government subsidies.
Not as scary as flying upside down which is what I originally thought based on title alone. Most people are familiar with "barrel roll" but by comparison this just looks like wiggling.

Counterintuitively though my understanding is that barrel rolls are generally safe even for large planes since it's a stable 1G maneuver (some jock irresponsible air force pilot used to regularly barrel roll B-52s until he did one too low and killed himself and the crew)...
From the paper it seems like they did build a demonstrator to test their model. This is of course very far from a practical power supply, but you can definitely scratch the could. The only question is how this scales.

Not sure about other regions, but in the EU, low tech cars are not allowed.

Required safety systems include emergency breaking, emergency lane-keeping, intelligent speed assistance (car must use cameras or GPS to determine current speed limit), driver attention warning systems and many more.

That fancy screen is really not a cost factor. These days you can buy after-market screens with Car Play and Android auto support for 100 EURs or less. But all the safety systems needs lots of sensors, and also the ability to auto-brake and auto-steer in emergency situations.

How can Nuvia IP be invalid? Well, that's the beauty of Intellectual Property: it's not really a property it's a weird legal construct. Arm argues the entire Nuvia IP should have disappeared because the license allowing it to exist was voided when Qualcomm bought Nuvia. And Qualcomm had no legal right to move the IP on the foundation of their ARM license. They argue Qualcomm should've negotiated for a new license to use Nuvia IP. Whether they are right or not is up for the courts to decide but they make a legally sound argument without a doubt.

If this makes no sense then here's a simple example: a DVD is not property, it's intellectual property. If it were property then region locks couldn't exist. Compare it to a book. You buy a book in London, no one stops you from reading it in New York, it's your property. Absurdity is the name of the game: in the DeCSS trial it was argued Johansen trespassed on his own computer.

Edit: ah, I have a better, simpler explanation: Arm and Nuvia made a contract. Qualcomm bought Nuvia. Arm argues Qualcomm violated the terms of the contract. That's it.

I had to google TAA:

> Q: What is TAA and why should I care?

A: TAA stands for Temporal Anti-Aliasing. It's used to fix/clean up aliasing in games. The different kinds of aliasing in games are edge aliasing, shader aliasing, texture aliasing, temporal aliasing and specular aliasing. Edge aliasing makes edges of objects look jagged (also called as the staircase effect). Temporal aliasing is the shimmer of objects which are either small in nature, or which are far in the distance such as power lines, railings, stairs, balconies, antennas etc... You should get the idea.

To me this seems a real bad move by arm. They are showcasing to all their customers why they need to get of arm asap.
This is exact same topic I was wondering.
Frame + electric motor + battery + gamepad + cpu.

From my research, it's boils down to:

1. Car is still a wealth marker. Not enough people think about it just as a means of transpiration. If they do they mostly use public transport or uber/escooters.

2. Car frame - you need to meet security standards, it cost a lot

3. Battery - current technology is expensive

4. Car lobby - especially in Europe, there are large tariffs to bring EV cars from Asia.
What you report proves exactly what I said.

You are citing individual cases that don't reflect the broader picture. The reactors you listed don't represent large-scale construction efforts like those seen decades ago.

Additionally, you mention costs as if they are the final cost to consumers. While Olkiluoto 3 was expensive to build, electricity bills in Finland are now stable and relatively low because of it. Over the long term, once the construction costs are repaid, it will be even more economical.

Regarding China, your point isn't clear. The fact remains that China is demonstrating the effectiveness of building multiple reactors in parallel, which is faster and cheaper. Building reactors sporadically, as France is doing with new technologies, is indeed slow and costly.

As for Korea, your argument seems unrelated. I advocate for a mix of nuclear and renewables. Korea's current strategy lacks sufficient renewable energy, which is not ideal. I mentioned Korea specifically to highlight their nuclear power capabilities, not their overall decarbonization strategy. Both Korea and Germany show that decarbonization requires a mix of nuclear and renewable energy sources.

So, is your priority to exclude nuclear power, or to achieve decarbonization?

Such is the state of the airline business/capitalism. There are basically only two manufacturers: Boeing and Airbus. The airlines place orders years in advance and if you cancel a Boeing order now you’re a) out of a lot of money and b) joining the back of the line with Airbus.

The simple reality is that the airlines (and their shareholders) consider a) and b) to be greater risks than the safety record of Boeing planes. Given the parameters they have they’re not wrong. Air travel is still incredibly safe, even if these Boeing incidents make it ever so slightly less safe. To be blunt, the market can absorb it and individual airlines have little motivation to change. If there is going to be a big change it’ll need to come from the FAA.

Yes, if you want to go low-tech, Renault (and Dacia) is a good option.

How did you find the visual fidelity in Vision Pro vs Quest? (which Quest, by the way?)
After being initially dazzled, I've drifted firmly into the camp of "this hype cycle is nonsense". I get why VCs/Startups/investors/legislators want (or even need) a hype cycle in a post-ZIRP economy, in an election year, with geo instability. But there's nothing, neither data/evidence that LLM === AGI or even a path that points towards LLM → AGI.

AFAICT, LLMs are stochastic predictors of words within a large context. If you transfer (pun intended) that behavior over to humans, you would call a person like that a bullshitter, or at best a salesguy :-) A bullshitter as a person or team member is useful, but not scalable in the singularity sense: you can scale its output in terms of quantity, but not quality: the stochastic parrot may move prospects through the funnel (necessarily to a higher-IQ actual salesperson) but it will not create a patent from scratch (and probably will not close a deal).

So, we're not getting AGI. Given that the stochastic approach has hit scalability limits (there's no more data to feed), we need a new approach. Are there approaches that can bring AGI outside of LLMs? (AlphaZero?) Or is our industry just a bunch of stochastic parrots that complete every sentence with "eventually we'll have AGI and everything will be either great or destroyed" (which is exactly what an LLM would say at this point)?
> Cstomers only want 3 things. A comfortable ride, a safe journey, and $thing. The problem is, everyone's one more thing is different. I want DAB radio, you want cruise control, she wants lane assist, he wants automatic parking.

This is the correct answer. And on top of this, new cars also compete with used cars. The very few people who don’t want any $thing are often not picky buyers and are more likely to just buy a cheaper used car. They wouldn’t be a buyer even if automakers did build a car for them.
The car industry has an unusual profit curve. They have huge, huge fixed costs. It's not just the factory, it's the testing, compliance, marketing, etc.

However, the price you pay for a car is substantially more than the marginal cost of producing it.

So that industry is a famine-or-feast industry. Either they are losing money in mind-boggling quantities, or they are making money in mind-boggling quantities. There is not a lot of in between.

Unfortunately, the connection to the question the original poster asked is that they basically can't risk not selling a car because it doesn't have some hot feature that most of the market wants, so you won't see a screen-free car made today. Putting $100 of hardware in to seal the deal is a no-brainer in their profit model. (Though they will trim every penny on it, as they do everything else; it may seem like a contradiction but if you think about it enough it'll make sense. Consider the term "bullet-point feature" in our industry.) Until the market as a whole screams for it, it won't exist.
Qualcomm already has their own blanket license and their own custom cores. Nuvia's license only covered server products, so Qualcomm could not use the acquired license anyway.

ARM claims that Qualcomms pre-existing license does not allow "technologies developed by third parties under different Arm licenses".

So I guess the case will come down to arguing if an acquired company counts as "a third party" or not

EU GDP per capita 2022 is the same as US GDP per capita 2017.

Unless you want to say that the US was much poorer in 2017 than it was in 2022 that's a fairly ridiculous statement.

Also, the highest productivity places in the EU have much lower hours worked per capita than the US, with Germans on average working 25% less than Americans and the EU as a whole working 13% less than the US.

Very cheap in C# and Go. I assume Java has now closed the gap with its Green Threads implementation.

(Spawning an asynchronously yielding C# task is ~100B of allocations depending on state machine box size, with very small overall overhead and threadpool handling millions of them, they are cheaper than Elixir tasks which make different tradeoffs (and are subject to BEAM limitations), you can try this out on your machine by running the examples from this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40435220)
Yes. Sadly, these days there is a ton of social pressure to affirm first and foremost. For example, a parent who doesn't affirm a child can easily get into hot water [1]

Along with that, the constantly repeated claim of puberty blockers being totally reversible (They are only in the medical sense, as in hormone production goes back to normal, but that claim still misses the fact that the time spent with reduced hormones has a measureable effect on the development of the child, as in, you won't "catch up" on puberty) is leading to more and more kids being treated with puberty blockers without a proper evaluation, because "there is no harm in it".

Yes it ought to happen between a professional and the person. And the real world is still a messy place where you can be influenced by non-professionals.

There is a difference between the Windows license and this - this is a contract. A contract meaning both parties had lawyers in the room (or at least should have) and came to an agreement. With Windows you don't get to change any of the wording, either accept it or not. As such the law and courts place more restrictions on what a license can do - check local laws, but regardless of the wording you may have the right to resell Windows to someone else even if the license says you cannot. However a contract means both parties agreed to this and so the courts are more likely to agree to the wording.

Even in a contract there are limits. You can never have a contract for murder is the obvious example. A contract that is very unfair to one party can be void as well - check with a lawyer for details in your area.
