I hate the state of AMDs software for non gamers. RoCm is a war crime (which has improved dramatically in the last two years and still sucks).

But like many have said considering AMD was almost bankrupt their performance is impressive. This really speaks for their hardware division. If only they could get the software side of things fixed!

Also I wonder if NVIDIA has an employee of the decade plaque for CUDA. Because CUDA is the best thing that could’ve happened to them.
nice! thanks for using litellm! - maintainer :)
This is something I found useful doing but not sure if it applies to learning in general, but here goes:

- I regularly read technical texts, some related to math, some related to programming/software engineering

- I ask Chatgpt4 (now Claude Sonnet 3.5) to quiz me on the nuances of topics X, Y, Z

My prompt template looks like so:

"I'd like to test my understanding of {topic}. I'd like you to quiz me one question at a time. Ask nuanced questions. Answers need to be multiple choice that I can pick from. Avoid congratulatory tone in responses. If I pick the right choice for a question, move on to next one without asking. Provide detailed explanations in case I answer something incorrectly."

I've found this surprisingly effective at pointing out gaps in my understanding. Ymmv.
Not in the hot-swappable way but yeah, they kinda do: e.g. latest AMD CPUs use sockets called FP7 / FP7r2 / FP8. However, I don't think footprints of these sockets are public.
Right up to the point where (FTA) he provided expert testimony.
AMD kinda just... stopped developing their equivalents?

I wasn't so much that they stopped developing, rather they kept throwing everything out and coming out with new and non backwards compatible replacements. I knew people working in the GPU Compute field back in those days who were trying to support both AMD/ATI and NVidia. While their CUDA code just worked from release to release and every new release of CUDA just got better and better, AMD kept coming up with new breaking APIs and forcing rewrite and rewrite until they just gave up and dropped AMD.
It’s my opinion that, barring areas like (for example) nuclear missile guidance software, technologists should generally get to keep their own reference copy of work products.

Before knowledge work was near exclusively performed on computers, it was not uncommon for people to preserve their own reference copy of work they had performed, and it wasn’t all that frowned upon.

Technology exists (for example DLP applied to endpoints by MDM) that enables the (at least ostensible or plausible) prevention of this but it mostly keeps honest people honest.
Also just left Proton, there are so many small issues and annoyances in their iOS/iPadOS apps;

You can’t even search the content of e-mails. Can’t increase font size (pinch to zoom sort of works, but impossible to use on a small iPhone (Max) screen). Can’t set any custom notifications. Don’t see what folder an email is stored in. I can go on forever…

And of course it’s not a native app either.

It was a great relief going back to the stock Mail app.

I’ll happily return to Proton when they fix all the issues, and it doesn’t kill my productivity anymore.

This guy’s a real piece of work. Not only did he architect this software, he was a key witness in several postmaster prosecutions. Deserves every ounce of jail time the state can throw at him, which appears to be approximately zero. There is a special place in hell for this kind of extreme arrogance.
In a world of flat featureless screens, I really love the physicality of this. Even the noise it makes. It feels like it communicates a lot more than its raw “pixel” count would suggest.
The logical decision then is to entrust the preservation to once of the few organizations capable of surviving thousands of years, and forming a religion based on the preservation of works.

I did some of the work in the post (though mostly post-setup).

Speaking in generalities: the initial failure rates of these units are much higher than those of traditional non-GPU machines.

In general, the failure rates decline significantly during the operating life of hardware. So you deal with a bunch of issues up front that you try to resolve to reach a much more stable state.

Those reusable bags are made of plastic.
They degrade in different ways.

The previous plastic bags may have been reused (ie for small garbage bags). Are consumers now just purchasing equivalent plastic bags for that purpose?

At this point I have no idea who's who in this thread anymore. Sorry.
At a certain point, if you're going for "smallest", it's a bit of a cheat not to include Z-height, especially if you're relying on a vertical micro-USB connector in your design.

45x18=810 vs 33x10=330, great. But If you're adding another 5mm z-height for a connector, the volume is now kind of significant.

Just think of the stack-up at this point: Motherboard + female socket (1.6mm + 5mm?) + daughterboard (1.6mm) + pins (5mm?) + vertical USB (5mm?). You're looking at something that's +/-18mm tall. Given that this whole design is basically just a way of attaching a 1mm tall IC to a design, that starts to feel a bit extreme if you care about size.

If you really care about a tiny board, and don't need the DIP compatibility (or removability), I feel like a castellated design that can be soldered down is more useful. Designs like the Piksey Atto (20x13 = 260, but also something like 5mm tall)

For me, the killer feature of not having the microcontroller soldered down is that you can flash something on a dev PC, and then insert it into the device.

But in that case, I like something like the tinyduino, which eschews .1 headers and uses a B2B connector. More of a pain to deal with, but you get the benefit of tiny size + low z-height + removable:
https://tinycircuits.com/products/tinyduino-processor-board

Regardless, more options are always better. But it's also useful to really think about what your requirements really are.
>I think that too many parents think there’s something wildly wrong with the public school system for a few reasons that include:

By almost any objective metric, there is something wrong with the school system, and the fact that this isn't something people admit is probably a reason there is a lot of pushback against it. People in support of the public school system aren't even willing to educate themselves on its failures and weaknesses.

>even if they are not statistically better outcomes.

So here once again you're saying there are not statistically better outcomes, but do you have a source? From the data i've seen, you have this baskwards and that public schools do statistically have worse outcomes.

>. It’s very inequitable based on your zip code.

Again, this is not actually true if you spend time looking at actual data. Most school districts are funded by the state our county, and often the budgets are higher low income areas.
As another commenter points out their strategy appears to be to focus on HPC clients where AMD can focus providing after-sale software support around a relatively small number of customer requests. This gets them some sales while avoiding the level of organizational investment necessary to build a software platform that can support NVIDIA-style broad compatibility and good out-of-the-box experience.

And how is that any different than any other piece of jewelry? It in no way impedes or impacts your life, just like hair color or cut, earrings, other necklaces, even wedding rings.

Why does it matter that it has a significance beyond "it's pretty"? As long as it's not obviously discriminatory in nature (like a necklace full of swastikas), then why does it have to pass your "decency" tests?

Fourth Estate and Public Interest. Journalism and programming in most cases serve different needs. Journalism serves the public interest (in theory).

Less life-and-death with music journalism, but it's still culturally important.

Although tbh, in the case of games and programming of critical importance (safety of life, elections, healthcare, large-scale finance) and cultural importance (games) I wouldn't be against a set of industry-specific regulations that stop the source code being effectively obliterated. Keep it like classified country secrets, consider declassifying it after 30 years.

The thing is, though, that there's no such thing as an "original" when we're talking about folkloric fairy tales. People give way too much deference to the first person who happened to get his own version of a story into print, typically imposing their own middle- or upper-class sensibilities onto it in the process. Those versions deserve respect as literary and scholarly works, but they neither require nor merit actual deference. Rich people using public domain stories as a vehicle for for-profit moralizing in the 18th or 19th centuries is not inherently more laudable than rich people using public domain stories as a vehicle for for-profit moralizing in the 20th or 21st centuries.
Ah not quite, I think pooling would be rather easier than you've thought, there are Let's Encrypt people here, but let me explain what you'd do to have N unrelated machines which are all able to successfully claim they are some-shared-name.example

Each such machine mints (as often as it wants, but at least once) a document called a Certificate Signing Request. This is a signed (thus cannot be forged) document but it's public (so it needn't be confidential) and it basically says "Here's my public key, I claim I am some-shared-name.example, and I've signed this document with my private key so you can tell it was me who made it".

The centralized service collects these public documents for legitimate members of the pool and it asks a CA to issue certificates for them. The CA wants a CSR, that's literally what it asks for -- Let's Encrypt clients actually just make one for you automatically, they still need one. Then the certificates are likewise public documents and can be just provided to anybody who wants them (including the NTP pool servers they're actually for which can collect a current certificate periodically).

So you're only moving two public, signed, documents, which isn't hard to get right, you should indeed probably do this out-of-band but you aren't sharing the valuable private key anywhere, that's a terrible idea as well as being hard to do correctly it's just unnecessary.

You are right, I wanted to subtly imply that.

Talk about discouragement for research. KakaoTalk is huge -- the equivalent of WhatsApp for EU people or LINE in Japan. Many foreigners learning Korean use KakaoTalk to chat, so this definitely affects people outside of the country. Restricting payment to just Koreans is objectively a terrible decision, as it endangers their users for no discernible reason.

> and streets are dangerous.

In most places I've lived, streets are objectively less dangerous than they were a few decades ago in all aspects except traffic density, which is a mixed bag. In places with poor urban design, I can see the argument that street (crossing, particular) is high risk for say 6-8 year olds. In places with better design, the idea that a 8 year old, let alone a 14 year old, shouldn't be able to navigate a reasonable distance by themselves seems pretty crazy.

The pardon power seems to be very broad, and is most likely constrained by politics more than by statute. Set aside the idle speculation about a president pardoning themselves, pardons have been granted to whole classes of people for crimes you have yet to be charged with. Consider Jimmy Carter pardoning draft dodgers or Abraham Lincoln pardoning soldiers who fought for the Confederate army.
Personally as an American, I'm far more interested about the shit my government is hiding from me than getting yet another reason to hate Putin, what could possibly be leaked from Russia that would make their optics worse than it already is? This was true even pre-invasion.

The whataboutism surrounding this feels completely disingenuous to me considering much of what was leaked by Wikileaks was war crimes, media collusion with Clinton's campaign and embarrassing mistakes the government tried to cover up, that they had no business trying to cover up.

States have secrets, but that is a privilege granted to them by the people to protect national security, their abuse of this privilege has been completely unacceptable even if the reveal made your preferred candidate look bad for actions they were personally responsible for.

If Wikileaks accomplished anything, it was revealing the hypocrites and those who lack even an inch of integrity.

> a hat falling from the sky will kill you

Yet, again demonstrating you didn’t understand even the title of the article. As you clearly failed to read there in an ‘s’ at the end of “hats” at the top of the article. In this context that s means repeated hat drops.

Summing up for a simple mind. Research shows falling hats distract people. Article showing intersection means drivers would get distracted. Research showed distracting drivers risks killing someone else.

So with multiple events each risking killing someone taking place risk gasp increases.

PS: It’s also illegal, but that’s a secondary concern.
Crazy that only Koreans are eligible for bounty rewards. Someone is going to put their morals aside in the future and their customers are going to be the victims. Also I’m pretty sure a large part of government officials in Korea use KakaoTalk?

But hey at least they actually took action…

What does "scale" here mean? Sqlite can go quite far https://use.expensify.com/blog/scaling-sqlite-to-4m-qps-on-a...

I agree with you w/r/t "Why build your own query builder" though since (AFAIK) you can't touch the underlying SQL. I'm making heavy usage of FTS5 in my app, and it doesn't look like they support that.

And, to be fair, feathers/rethink also have the weaknesses you list:

- Why build your own query builder

- This also isn't really something you could drop into an existing project very easily

Personally, I've been pretty happy with https://github.com/vlcn-io/cr-sqlite/ which is just a sqlite extension that can run in the browser.
A lot of people sympathize with Ted, especially given that Luddites are having a resurgence in an era of AI automation.

Can you point me to what gave you this impression? We implement our own query engine for Triplit and use a fork of tuple-database[1] for storage which is low level database that can store to SQLite (we do on the server) but in the browser it uses either an in-memory btree or IndexedDB.

Regarding compatibility with our databases, we do have some internal experiments of running a Triplit Server in front of existing databases as almost like a syncing cache. Still very experimental but maybe you'd be more into that use case.

> But stores went with the cheaper solution.

Right, because a business will almost always take the cheapest option possible unless there is direct customer pushback. It turns out consumers are really bad about thinking about long term (think decades) consequences that don’t immediately provide negative feedback.

Which is why we have government, to protect society from risks that may happen over a longer period of time or fall out of their direct control. Think: the EPA.
We’ve been using triplit to store user settings that can be managed by admins, it’s important users always feel like the app runs locally and they often don’t have good internet but we still needed sync as the users often switch devices and admins need to see and manage other users settings.

Overall triplit has been really great, both as a frontend dx and also their support - whenever we find an issue or have a feature it gets handled very quickly by the team which is awesome!
