One or two of my junior-high-school English teachers—public school, California, around 1970—showed us how to diagram sentences. I don’t remember diagramming (note the spelling) being pushed hard at us, but it did help me start to understand things like clauses, modification, and parts of speech. Later, in college and graduate school, I majored in linguistics, and the transformational grammar popular at the time went whole-hog with a very different system for analyzing the structure of sentences. Although my linguistics teachers were uniformly dismissive of school-taught approaches to grammar like diagramming, in the decades since those less rigorous methods have been more useful to me when writing and editing English.

It doesn’t matter whether you care about its status value. If I bought a Birkin and said, “I don’t care about the status value” you’d scoff and think I’m a sucker.

Meta alone bought 350,000 H100 GPUs, which cost them $10.5 billion: https://www.pcmag.com/news/zuckerbergs-meta-is-spending-bill...

This kind of AI capital investment seems to have helped them improve the feed recommendations, doubling their market cap over the last few years. In other words, they got their money back many times over! Chances are that they're going to invest this capital into B100 GPUs next year.

Apple is about to revamp Siri with generative AI for hundreds of millions of their customers. I don't know how many GPUs that'll require, but I assume... many.

And it plays, in large part, why some engineers get upset when programmers call themselves engineers without the skill, discipline, and responsibility to back it up.

To me it has nothing to do with size or complexity. You can have a 20-line well-thought-out imperative Python script that is well-engineered. And you can have a 200,000 line Java app that leaks PII all over the place, loses user data twice a week, and is impossible to debug because it's a giant spaghetti rats nest.

I can understand why someone who speaks little English would be tempted to try to avoid translating the commit messages in case you didn't care. Maybe they were just busy.

But it also does seem reasonable to be annoyed and want it changed. Also reasonable to be less than 100% sure about making them do that if you want to encourage contributors. But you should ask them to fix things you don't like.

I think the nice thing to do would be to just use "please" when requesting to translate the messages. And if they won't bother for some reason then of course you don't need to accept it.

We already have 3rd-party YouTube clients: SmartTube, ReVanced, etc. They work quite well, in fact, much better than YouTube's own client.

They don't need any money to cover their costs; they're FOSS. As for YouTube's costs, they don't show YouTube's ads, so basically Google is covering the cost there, though perhaps not willingly. But Google makes the YT API usable by these apps, and after all this time hasn't done too much to try to shut them down. We'll see how long that lasts, but there seem to be real technical limitations to how much Google can force ads, without resorting to recoding videos with ads in them which they surely really don't want to do.

Freeway driving is more straightforward in many ways compared to urban driving, but the problem is that the impact of screwing up is a LOT more severe.

If you screw up at typical speeds in SF, probably nobody will die. On a freeway, odds are a lot higher.

If a car is confused in an urban area, stopping in the middle of the street isn't 100% safe, but it's not super dangerous, whereas stopping in the middle of freeway suddenly is obviously extremely dangerous.
How long has it been in it's current position? I ask, as ours had spent years in the exact same spot without moving until the studio was moved into a new location. The new location was 90° from where it had been previously. During that time the unit had become aligned to the earth's magnetic field so that in the new location we had to do something specific to it to "undo" that. I wasn't around when it actually happened, but it took some serious research to get it resolved. It was something that was not unheard of, and once the right person was contacted and had the issue described he immediately asked if it had been recently moved. Sorry I can't give you the procedure, but at least you'll be aware of potential thing that can happen when you move it

A "million dollar idea" for give
Yesterday there was news of a famous person killed by a shark while surfing. It reminded me of the Navy's unsuccessful, long-time search for shark repellent. It also reminded me of film (pre-video days, perhaps pre-transistor days) in which researchers demonstrated that, while sharks may be drawn to blood, they strike at an electrical field, at an electrode placed some distance from the researcher's bait.
This "million dollar idea," which I hereby give away, is to put a 9v battery in the surfboard, which energizes a 'decoy' being towed behind the board. You could be cute and shape it like a fish ... for marketing purposes, the sharks won't care.
I can imagine using surfboard itself as the decoy ... but I wouldn't want to be tethered to a surfboard undergoing a shark attack.
Experimentation would have to determine best configuration.
Given that 9v batteries can deliver five and six digits of voltage thru a stungun, the drogue decoy might be constructed to punish any shark that takes the bait.
I'm making this stuff up as I go... Somebody save me.

Older versions of Tesla FSD tended to make steering adjustments that were short in duration, but at a higher turn angle. Human drivers in a similar situation would turn the wheel slightly but keep it turned for longer before returning to centerline.

People saw the steering wheel turn and perceived it to be the system going haywire, or thought that "the car was about to crash" as you put it, and intervened.

The newer NN based FSD acts more like what a human would do.

MathJax [1] still recommends this way of using it:

<script id="MathJax-script" async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js"></script>

Therefore, if you ever used MathJax, by possibly copying the above and forgetting, make sure to patch it out.

EDIT: To clarify, patch out just the polyfill (the first line in the snippet). You can of course keep using MathJax, and the second line alone should be enough. (Though still better host a copy by yourself, just in case).
They're not cheaper right now. Might be possible as they scale up. A lot of people seem to prefer them to Uber/Lyft even as it is, though.
I appreciate what you’re saying here, but it’s impossible to view the opinions of residents of an authoritarian state as unbiased and unaffected observers.

They know they cannot possibly openly share their opinions without the potential for severe penalty. This is exactly why Putin did what he did to Alexei Navalny; it reminds the populace to keep the opinions to themselves or die in the most horrible way possible.

I have a problem with your comment. It's extremely condescending and emotionally charged.

Data sovereignty/regionalization is not a fake problem. Many governments around the world are trying to keep foreign companies from accessing their citizens data.

Apple also said they were doing it with their silicon. Apple in particular is all but guaranteed to refuse to buy from Nvidia even.

lol no they aren't. This is literally a post about AMD's AI product even. But Apple and Google both have in-house chips as well.

Nvidia is the big general party player, for sure, but they aren't the only. And more to the point, exponential growth of the already largest player for 6 years is still fucking absurd.

Say your success rate for replicating CUDA+Nvidia hardware on AMD is 60%. But it will take 2 years. That's not going to be compelling for any large org, especially when the MI300x is cheaper, but not crazy cheaper than an h100.

Especially since CUDA is still rolling out new functionality and optimizations, so the goal posts will keep moving.
JavaScript is definitely at the top of my list.
"Pointwise squaring on an interval x" is just a weird way of describing the usual function f(x) = x^2 with domain restricted to an interval. It's pointwise because that's how functions f : R -> R are defined: given a point, or value, of the domain, give me a new point in the codomain.

If you think of `x` as a whole interval unto itself, and not just a single point, then I think the options become more interesting. The most natural product on two sets is indeed the cross product; but for intervals, I can imagine defining a common parameterization over both intervals and then multiplying pointwise up to that parameterization.
no, it's just a common limitation of implementations of interval arithmetic. things like affine arithmetic solve it
this is basically how affine arithmetic works. but in interval arithmetic or modal interval arithmetic the representation of a float is two floats, and in affine arithmetic the representation of a float is a potentially unboundedly large set of float coefficients, none of which can be safely ignored, so there are some drawbacks to this approach

i'm not sure why wayne doesn't mention affine arithmetic and modal interval arithmetic in this post; i'd think they were relevant
> it doesn’t seem like as big a breakthrough as achieving autonomy with the same sensors as humans.

As far as I know, nobody is currently attempting to do that. Even Tesla has way more cameras on their cars than you have eyeballs, covering far more angles than your head can. There is that one org that does L2 automation with just a phone IIRC, but I don't think they're trying for full autonomy.

Realistically, it's hard for the car to be as smart as the human mental model while driving, and so having vastly superior sensors helps compensate for that.
> armed gangs battling for territory (Haiti, Sudan)? To be imprisoned or even killed for disagreeing with the ruling regime (Iran, Russia, China, North Korea)? Or for not wearing the proper head covering as a woman (Iran)?

Those are all conditions that exist in the current state of the world, so clearly US hegemony doesn't prevent them. The US intervenes only where it serves its interests to do so, and happily cosies up with equally vicious regimes (e.g. Saudi Arabia) when that serves their interests.

I'll take a world where my country has to pay for our own defence, even if it means higher taxes for me, over one where US personnel can kill someone like me and the US will give them a getaway flight with no repercussions.

My local groceries store used to do this and it was great, using the boxes they were going to throw out anyway for bringing groceries home worked well.

I’m one of the few people who has written a lot of Interpress (for the Xerox Star) and was responsible for making it work on a number of Xerox printers all implementing a different subsets mostly because it was evolving protocol which different printers shipping on differing schedules.

This is a long paper that I think has too much detail and it obscures the few key important things:

- Postscript is really a general purpose programming language where interpress is rather restricted.

- Interpress was very concerned from the start about being fast to process on the fastest Xerox printers at the time (a 9700 120PPM) and page independence was critical. Wanted to print forward, backward, in the middle without executing the entire file as postscript required. Interpress could easily index the pages and just start printing from any where. Not so with PostScript.

- both had near identical imaging models. It’s obvious why from that article.

- Postscript had a robust scalable font mechanism where-as all Xerox prints lived in the world of bitmap fonts. This is not really a language issue but an implementation fact at the time and made it in the end far superior despite everything else. (Plus the Mac used it and the LaserWriter was a huge success.)

- at the time Interpress handled multilingual fonts (as did Star) and that was added latter to PS but not when this was written. Interpress used XCCCS their 16bit character code standard which was the direct predecessor to Unicode (co developed initially by Xerox and Apple and I was part of that initial work.)

There are other key points but these are the major ones imho.
