The issue is not really parallelism of computation. The issue is locality.
Usually a hydro solver need to solve 2 very different problem short and long range interaction. therefore you "split" the problem into a particle-mesh (long range) and a particle to particle (short range).

In this case there is no long range interaction (aka gravity, electrodynamics), therefore you would go for a pure p2p implementation.

Then in a p2p, if you have very strong coupling between particles that will insure the fact that neighbors stay neighbors (that will be the case with solids, or with very high viscosity). But in most case you will need are rebalancing of the tree (and therefor the memory layout) every time steps. This rebalancing can in fact dominate the execution time as usually the computation on a given particle represent just a few (order 100) flop. Then this rebalancing is usually faster to be done on CPU than on GPU. Then evidently, you can do this rebalancing "well" on gpu, but the effort to have a proper implementation will be huge ;-).

Pretty much, yep. There was definitely a more significant jump there in the middle where 7B models went from being a complete waste of time to actually useful. Then going from being able to craft a sensible response to 80% of questions to 90% is a much smaller apparent increase but takes a lot more compute to achieve as per the pareto principle.
Game2Text – Toolbox for gamifying language learning
There are a couple nice features about Overleaf, like collaborative editing, fairly quick turnaround rebuilding, and being able to double-click to jump back and forth between the PDF and the source. But being forced to edit text in a their crappy web interface just frankly sucks. It's like throwing away half my skillset. It'd be so much better to go the other way and add collaborative features to existing editors than to reinvent the wheel in a crappy way.

This. The scaling of compute has vastly different applications than the scaling of memory. Shows once again that people who are experts in a related field aren't necessarily the best to comment on trendy topics. If e.g. an aeroplane expert critiques Spacex's starship, you should be equally vary, even though they might have some overlap. The only reason this is in the media at all is because negative sentiment to hype generates many clicks. That's why you see these topics every day instead of Rubik's cube players criticising the latest version of Mikado.

It's predicting a function. You train it on known inputs (and potentially corresponding known outputs). You get a novel output by feeding it a novel input.

For example asking an LLM a question that nobody has even asked it before. The degree to which it does a good job on those questions is called "generalisation".

Trying this keyboard out (right now)

Some of the more annoying things about Google keyboard, is when swipe fails to activate.

I think swiping is really pivotal to mobile input. I've been tempted to run some analysis and try find a keyboard layout that minimises errors, gives greater accuracy and speed of input, etc. But it is a big project. I want to keep the 3 row layout/size as well, just rearrange the keys for swiping. ( I have seen some keyboards try to promise effective swiping but they are too obtuse and different for me to feel comfortable with using rather than just rearranging qwerty)

Review of FUTO: It's alright. The swiping has a little bit of inaccuracy but that is just due to noticing it versus Google's data harvesting. The voice input is also something that I use and it seems okay with Futo but it relies on me saying the whole sentence which it will then analyze and put in the grammar. That is pretty good and it does a really good job of it. I am used to voice talking and correcting as I go, so this will be something to get used to. All in all, I like it. And I will try it for a little while.

As I said, because of Rice accepting a subset is the only thing which could work. But it only could work, it probably won't because now you've gone from "Impossible" to merely "Incredibly hard" and that's not as a big a change as you'd hope.
I’ve been programming for many years and never thought of or met any issues with exceptions. It’s a useful mechanism to stop execution and send a structured signal up the call stack to where you expect it. If you don’t have issues (e.g. data, syntax, performance related) with the way you use exceptions, it’s safe to ignore all philosophical distresses.

What does it actually mean? When should I use it? Is this correct? Is my usage aligned with the idea behind it? These are all questions of a restless mind. The one that stands in front of a toolbox and cannot choose a type of a hammer for a trivial job where even a rock will do.

Okay, interesting, but I meant nobody actually ended up sending thousands of little robots to other planets. No doubt the research led to some nice things.

Edit: the direct sensory-action coupling idea makes sense from a control perspective (fast interaction loops can compensate for chaotic dynamics in the environment), but we know these days that brains don't work that way, for instance. I wonder how that perspective has changed in robotics since the 90s, do you know?
> Why would it be surprising that a company complies with a court order or legislation of a country they operate in? Does Google routinely ignore court orders in the US?

Because it's a ruling by a lower court which sets a very dangerous precedent. I would expect a company like Google to appeal this until the French equivalent of the Supreme Court - or even a European court if possible.

Even if they still had to do this, I would expect them to suspend service like OpenDNS is doing rather than just comply. DNS is just too important to mess around with!

> Technically nothing. The threat of fines in case this is seen as an abuse is the real blocker.

Who's going to fine them? As far as I'm aware, DNS is pretty much unregulated. There's no law saying you have to pass DNS as-is, is there?

What do you propose as an alternative to LaTeX? Word?

I wouldn't recommend LaTeX to a casual user writing the occasional letter or memo, but if you're writing an academic paper with equations, figures, references, etc., then Word is a massive pain. Markup languages like LaTeX take some initial investment to learn, but at a certain level of complexity, they become less of a pain than a WYSIWYG editor like Word.

As for your comparison to Notepad, I wasn't aware that Notepad allowed simultaneous, collaborative editing by multiple online users, revision tracking, continuous compilation of markup to PDF, and jumping between the same location in the markup and compiled PDF. Notepad must have come a long way since the last time I used it.

Long telomeres do not lead to long life. Telomere length has an optional length that's not too short nor too long. Maybe activating TERT in elderly people won't hurt because they won't have time to develop cancer? But it seems like a bad idea based on our tendency to project absolutes: telomeres shorten with age, so obviously we should lengthen them to be young! Right?

Recent research has challenged the notion that longer telomeres are universally beneficial, revealing a complex relationship between telomere length and cancer risk. Having excessively long telomeres is indeed related to an increased cancer risk, primarily because it prevents the natural selection against potentially cancerous cells[1][3].

Key findings from recent studies include:

1. People with mutations leading to abnormally long telomeres have a higher risk of developing various cancers, including melanoma, thyroid neoplasms, and blood-related cancers[1].

2. Long telomeres allow cells to accumulate more mutations over time, as they can divide more times before reaching critical telomere shortening[1][3].

3. The telomere tumor suppressor pathway, which normally helps prevent cancer by limiting cell division, is less effective when telomeres are too long[4].

4. Families with mutations in the TINF2 gene, which regulates telomere length, show a higher incidence of various cancers, including breast, colorectal, and thyroid cancers[4].

5. Genome-wide association studies have identified both rare and common genetic variants that lengthen telomeres and are strongly associated with increased cancer risk[3].

These findings suggest that while short telomeres can lead to premature aging and organ failure, excessively long telomeres may provide a permissive environment for cancer development by allowing cells to proliferate beyond normal limits[1][3][4].

It could be a flip of a coin. Craig Venter[0] almost patented what was back then the human reference genome (based on his own genome), but thankfully publicly funded efforts prevailed to taper the profiteering.

We could be in a similar situation with anti-aging drugs. Plus, with citizen science projects making ad-hoc labs more accessible than ever, there's a good chance that normal people could make their own versions of these anti-aging drugs, assuming that science journals and informatic pipelines remain accessible (the current rent-seeking of top journals lends some small but worrying evidence against this).

I can't see the financial industry getting behind FOSS, but there's very much a missed opportunity for Data API companies. Let trading firms pay standard rates to get access to high-resolution, realtime data; the secret sauce in each firm then becomes what kind of trading algorithm you write to make the most profit off that data. Ensuring that everyone has potential access to the same underlying data helps dissuade claims that profits are made from insider trading. There should be all kinds of data for all kinds of domains available when you fork over a little money for an API key.
I love finding old internet style websites like this. Simple, fast, packed full of information.

TERT activation is one of the most common alterations causing cancer. In fact, the whole point of the normally very low TERT expression in somatic cells is likely to be cancer prevention. It’s the mechanism behind the Hayflick limit, which puts a bound on the max number of divisions a cell can go through, via telomere shortening. Without such a limit, you get cancer. I highly doubt it will make you live longer.
Looking at the PR history, it's interesting how few PRs are being merged per year.

Of the ones that are they are very short, and typically buxfixes or changes to infrastructure rather than any new features.

I think I count 4 prs merged, with less than 20 lines of code altered, since 2022, and even going back until the beginning of the 2014 commit history, it's hard to find a PR that's altering core functionality.

I am in the United States. It isn’t a categorical truth here, but many people here have and do join the US military because that is the “ticket out” that they have access to. I saw it a lot in my high school. I had some friends who were good people but they were not terribly academically gifted, their families were poor, and college wasn’t a realistic option for them. Several of them joined the military in part due to the recruiters that would visit the school. During my senior year of high school one of those guys ended up being the recruiter that visited my high school. It was interesting to see a bit of a cycle there.

It’s almost a trope here. I expect that’s why the original commenter said that the military is the employer of last resort. In the US that is often the case for many young people.

From the article:

The real core mechanic is how dice are used in the game. The dice act as an instant adjudicator and the system uses different sizes of dice that can be adjusted during game play.

The map and counters also encode a lot of rapidly accessible state information. Using a computer would require all of this state info to be maintained in the computer, which would be a very different game, probably without the person to person interactions that make the game what it is.
This features the construct

switch(k) {
if (0) case 0: x = 1;
if (0) case 1: x = 2;
if (0) default: x = 3;
}

which is a switch where you don't have to write break at the end of every clause.

#define brkcase if (0) case

That might be worth using. Compilers won't love the control flow but they'll probably delete it effectively.

Well, not only. They objectively made a worse product for decades and used their platform to push it, much more effectively than Google too. They are still pushing Edge hard, with darker patterns than Google imo.

In either case, the decision to adopt Chromium wasn’t forced. Microsoft clearly must have been aligned enough on the capability model to not deem it a large risk, and continued to push for Edge just as they did with IE.

Your average user wouldn't even know that there's a standard css property that a plugin could potentially control; though, yeah, it being a browser toggle would make it rather obvious (...assuming it's front-and-center somewhere, which is a rather high ask). Definitely won't find a location to place it that requires one click to toggle on mobile browsers, though.

Having the in-browser toggle would also be rather questionable for anything that has more than just "light" and "dark"; the options suck - either having the browser-based toggle be a "shortcut" for one toggle in your main theme settings (which likely means users are less likely to notice the full settings), or abandon the browser toggle entirely (which likely means a significant amount of users would assume there's no theming at all). And neither really fits for something that has, instead of just "dark" and "light", an additional "high-contrast" mode (which, depending on what the site's designers bothered to do, could be an extension of "dark", or a toggle combinable with either light or dark); so you'd want the browser-based toggle to be at least somewhat customizable. Also worth considering is that if there's some fixed set of things that the browser-level theme toggle can do, sites would be very heavily disincentivized from adding any other things as those would then require an entirely custom theming setting panel.

I'm exaggerating somewhat, sure, but I don't think you'll find any way to have a browser-level theme toggle that doesn't end up pretty bad in a significant number of cases.
