Looking at the original article, that was for sure the subtext (especially in light of the fact that its coming from an unapologetically Christian source). Their pushback seems to be "parents are trying too hard to protect kids from disturbing images/themes", but also (quoting directly here) "have we swung so far in our attempt to protect children that we don’t tell stories that help them process dark things?"

I resonate strongly with the idea that children today are sheltered too much from how the world really is. But I definitely disagree with the idea that we should force them to listen to those "truths" when they can tell for themselves that they aren't able to deal with them. The article expends a lot of words on the idea that good and evil are atomic unto themselves, and not at least partially determined by both outcome, intent, and method. I guarantee that kids in general, and my kids specifically, won't be helped by hearing about (as expressed in the article) Cinderella's step-sisters hacking off their toes and heels to fit into the glass slipper. There are loads of other tropes in classic fairy tales that I'm also uncomfortable with; physical beauty is a reflection of inner beauty, step-mothers are always cruel to their step children, princesses (or marriages in general) as prizes for the heroic feats of princes/knights errant/other adventurers, etc.

Fairy tales often seem needlessly cruel given the current state of our society, and they also pack in a lot of warning messages that just don't apply anymore, and clinging to them is itself harmful to kids.

Interesting read, but I found this a missed opportunity to link AW Jones' journalistic background to some of the journalistic elements behind running a hedge fund.

Disclaimer - it's a thought I got from watching The Big Short, which portrayed Mark Baum as a sort of investigative journalist in a hedge fund manager's clothes. He takes a lead from a source, investigates a thesis, talks to primary sources, and drops his findings in public. More compellingly, he appears to gain access to meetings and people that ordinary journalists wouldn't, simply because he's seen as part of the system.

But unlike a regular investor, who can be tempted to call a spade a forklift if it meant that it would drive up the price, Baum's money comes from betting against the system. His "journalistic" pursuit of reality is motivated by skin in the game, as opposed to institutionalised bias.

Of course, the motivations behind journalists and hedge funds appear different, and the incentive for truth can vary too. But since so much of journalism is hostage to its financial model (advertising), it's arguable that there's little difference in key aspects. If your goal is to make money, and the means by which you make money affect your version of reality, then it's a comparison between apples.

Since hedge funds are incentivised to protect their investments against looming bear markets, they are also incentivised to see past the frothing-at-the-mouth hype that accompanies bull markets. Which I see as a mirror of the journalistic idea of speaking truth to power.

I am interested in any systems that can lead to people seeking out and producing high-definition versions of reality. Journalism is but one system, and it has no monopoly on this pursuit. The world comprises many such systems. I feel hedge funds could be considered one of them.

That the "first" (debatable) hedge fund was started by a journalist seems more than a coincidence.

I am thinking beyond the scale of any given machine and traditional game engine architectures.

I am thinking of an entire datacenter purpose-built to host a single game world, with edge locations handling the last mile of client-side prediction, viewport rendering, streaming and batching of input events.

We already have a lot of the conceptual architecture figured out in places like the NYSE and CBOE - Processing hundreds of millions of events in less than a second on a single CPU core against one synchronous view of some world. We can do this with insane reliability and precision day after day. Many of the technology requirements that emerge from the single instance WoW path approximate what we have already accomplished in other domains.

I've started using Mise for some stuff at work. Haven't digged in a lot yet, but looks really promising.

https://mise.jdx.dev/

It handles task running (wipe local test db, run linting scripts, etc), environment variables and 'virtual environments', as well as replacing stuff like asdf, nvm, pyenv and rbenv.

Still somewhat early days, tasks are experimental. But looks very promising and the stuff I've tried to far (tasks) works really well.
Not an anarcho-capitalist but I'd guess one of the biggest "regulations" they'd be against would be the laws that allow corporations to exist at all. Pure capitalism exists without government and corps are a legal (ie. gov) created entity.
This is just using sqlite under the hood and none of this will scale. Why build your own query builder as well when you could just hook in one of the many ORMs in the NPM ecosystem and add support for 50+ other databases.

How about Mozilla figure out wtf is going on with their builds being language specific and it basically being impossible to convert Spanish Firefox to English Firefox. Absolutely baffling.

Its one of those things where so many wrong decisions had to be made, and leaves users out to dry.

> It is hard to me to understand how much this revisionist tendency is just a recent invention and to what extent it has been present throughout the history

How could this be a recent invention when the bible literally exists? That we know that greek and roman gods have a complex and related history, itself derived from even older gods? We literally know that we know almost nothing about the vikings because they didn't write much stuff down so all accounts we know are almost entirely by people who hate them!
I'm sure children can distinguish fiction from reality better than adults give them credit for. Sure, it's possible for a kid to mimic a violent kid's show from time to time. But such incidents are rare, and seem to coincide with poor parenting for the most part.

That said, I find it reasonable to think that children may have an underdeveloped capacity to understand sophisticated phenomena such as social norms. I remember that I didn't truly understand the dynamic nature of social norms till middle school. Children can be quite trusting when it comes to moral instruction. In that sense, perhaps one can justify "sanitizing" stories for an audience with impaired discernment.
It's what they said: as written, it generates a high volume of replies saying the same thing, namely, that the posts are extremely reductive. But do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, curious for your thoughts.
Absolutely. Most Western leaders (though not all) deluded themselves thinking Russia wanted better relations and that all the problems were somehow the fault of the West. Countless confidence-building measures were taken. Most Western countries reduced defense budgets. Russian leaders, ridiculously claiming that they were threatened by NATO, were dishonest the whole time. As the USSR collapsed, Russia surrounded itself with, and fueled, many "frozen" conflicts: Transnistria in Moldova, Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, Nagorno Karabakh in Azerbaijan, Japanese Islands. Gestures of goodwill, escalation management, appeals to political solutions were seen as weakness by Russia. Putin attacked Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 not because he felt threatened in any way, but to the contrary because he thought that no one would do anything about it.
There were 2 aspects:

1. Fujitsu employees could remotely log in to accounts and alter them without subpostmasters knowing. The Post Office knew this could cause shortfalls but lied about it in court. [1]

2. Money/transactions frequently went 'missing' according to subpostmasters when actions, such as customers lodging or withdrawing money or buying stamps, were not properly replicated to the central database. This was caused by things as trivial as 2 customers using 2 machines at the same time. These complaints started as soon as the system was deployed but was ignored for nearly 2 decades.

>Despite its secular and liberal pretenses, the US and in particular the US government is deeply influenced by Conservative and Evangelical Christian interests

Okay so I buy this premise for sure, but what about the other part of the political spectrum? Why aren’t CNN, MSNBC, ABC etc covering this? And why aren’t liberal politicians up in arms about it?

Conservatives are only half of the spectrum and I understand their religious motivation, but the other half also seems to be extremely pro-Israel. All except maybe that one senator from Minnesota seem fully in agreement with the conservatives on the issue.
Politician smeared during election? Shock horror, it happens during every election.

Jeremy couldn't particularly unite the party, didn't take the center ground, and while I don't think he was a true antisemite there were enough mis-steps there that it meant that the claim could stick (along with the IRA sympathizer claims).
I don't like that you agree, and I feel I should moderate my position somehow, when I see this agreement.

I don't want to infinitely limit US influence, and want something more like no one country being able to dictate anything to others, an increased capacity for all countries to be free from both overt and covert influence of all sorts, etc., perhaps with the exception of some particularly horrible countries.

I don't think they're accusing Assange of the grift here.
The comment you're replying to laid it out pretty clearly if you want to be a part of a hedge fund (as I interpret your question.) Know friends and family with money (a lot, hopefully) or, more commonly, have institutional connections. Have at least some connections and experience in finance/banking/investing (at a large scale, not small-fry stuff). Bring the two together with a lot of marketing and promises.

If you want to work in IB, then you basically need to go to a feeder school or have connections. The investment business is a lot of "look, we have the smartest people in the room to handle your money, trust us." They rely, like consulting, on selling the prestige of their employees education and social capital. You will sign on to working absurd hours, with the promise of making a lot of $$$ if you can survive (literally, a guy died this year at BofA).

## How can we fit so much more compute on the silicon?

The NVIDIA H200 has 989 TFLOPS of FP16/BF16 compute without sparsity. This is state-of-the-art (more than even Google’s new Trillium chip), and the GB200 launching in 2025 has only 25% more compute (1,250 TFLOPS per die).

Since the vast majority of a GPU’s area is devoted to programmability, specializing on transformers lets you fit far more compute. You can prove this to yourself from first principles:

It takes 10,000 transistors to build a single FP16/BF16/FP8 multiply-add circuit, the building block for all matrix math. The H100 SXM has 528 tensor cores, and each has $4 \times 8 \times 16$ FMA circuits. Multiplying tells us the H100 has 2.7 billion transistors dedicated to tensor cores.

*But an H100 has 80 billion transistors! This means only 3.3% of the transistors on an H100 GPU are used for matrix multiplication!*

This is a deliberate design decision by NVIDIA and other flexible AI chips. If you want to support all kinds of models (CNNs, LSTMs, SSMs, and others), you can’t do much better than this.

By only running transformers, we can fit way more more FLOPS on our chip, without resorting to lower precisions or sparsity.

## Isn’t memory bandwidth the bottleneck on inference?

For modern models like Llama-3, no!
When teaching beginners shell, it's natural to teach `ls` for listing directory contents. It's also natural to extend from `ls` to `ls | ...` for processing lists of files

The important point to get across is that pipes let us build bigger commands from the commands we already know. If needed, you can back up later to teach patterns like `find [...] -exec`, `find [...] -print0 | xargs -0 [...]`, `find [...] | while read -r file; do [...] done` and so on.

There are all kinds of prerequisites to creating files with unusual names. Those barriers tend to mean beginners won't run into file name processing edge cases for a while. The exception will be files they download from the Internet. But the complexity there will usually be quote and non-ASCII Unicode characters, not newlines or other control codes.

In teaching, the one filename complexity I would try to get ahead of, preventively, is spaces. There was a time, way back when, when newbies seemed to expect to stick with short, simple filenames. These days they the people I've helped tended to be used to using spaces in file names in Finder and Explorer for office or school work.

> went far beyond what any professional journalist would do

A useless statement without contextualization, but you can spare the contextualization because it's a moot point; Assange, running his own outfit, is free to decide for himself what kind of journalist he wishes to be. He doesn't have to follow CNN's playbook because he doesn't work for CNN.

I'm not defending the lack of censorship which may have put lives at immediate risk, but that's also not the basis on which the US government has sought his extradition. The basis of their argument had to do with the act of allegedly providing Manning the means of acquiring the data.

Right now, the way it works is that you produce code, then you give that code to your employer, and they give you money in exchange for the exclusive use of that code. The code and the money change hands.
