I'm curious for your perspective:

It seems clear that the article is not about arbitrary data center usage, it's about a large increase in data center usage at Google, attributable to AI.

The initial premise of the thread was "Why isn't this about (arbitrary data center other than Google)?"

Isn't that easily answered by: because it's about the delta, and the context of AI, where Google is perceived behind, and Satya famously pointed out the energy demands x their margins puts them in a strategic situation with only bad choices?

Witb that context, do you believe this is attributable to someone picking what to write articles about, based on how much they'll be able to influence them to change their behavior?
"Common sense" is a set of rules. I see a lot of drivers doing stupid things and I will confess that I am one of them sometimes so it's not like 'common sense" is some kind of magical human ability that we are born with. It's set of rules that we automatically acquire when driving long enough (or not if we are not observant enough) and I believe AI cars can learn that as well.

Consumers are definitely demanding something like ChatGPT. Other companies are trying to ride the wave, and their attempts often feel forced as they’re trying to inject LLMs where they don’t really belong.

Your information is outdated. Cada is at parity with lego now, they have even introduced brick designs that lego later copied (flip flop technic beams). The rest of the Chinese brands are similar, and even aliexpress mystery bricks are serviceable. Sometimes their color matches are not exact, but lego had the reddish brown issue so that's also at parity.
The headline is bogus and most of the comments are responding to the headline. Google's emissions increased 13% since last year, "primarily due to increases in data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions." It's unclear how much is due to AI. The supposed surge is a 48% increase compared to *2019*, consisting of moderate increases every year since 2020, not a nearly 50% surge due to AI.

> For example, Garden of Eden patterns are excluded from this category.

That seems to be naturally true, since they by definition cannot be constructed. Are there other patterns that cannot be constructed by a universal constructor, or are all such patterns non-constructible?
This is wonderful news and I'm all for more diversity and user choice in the world of browsers, but this text...

> preparing to become the only major web browser which does not treat the user like the product being sold.

...is either ignorant or a deliberate slam on Mozilla. Whatever else you might say about Firefox, it has never tried to "sell" me to anyone. The fact of the matter is that Mozilla has done the impossible for decades and gets no end of grief for it.

I do some 3d modeling on the side with my side project (https://roguestargun.com), and I suspect those 800 polygons with good topology may be more useful to a lot of 3d artists than blobby fully textured SDF derived models.

A low poly model with good topology can be very easily subdivided and details extruded for higher definition ala Ian Hubert's famous vending machine tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_ikG-u_6r0

And of course I'm sure those folks in Shanghai making the Mesh Anything paper did not have access to the datasets or compute power the Meta team had.

Hi, I'm the author, the preferred URL is https://biggieblog.com/building-arbitrary-life-patterns-in-1.... Does that work for you?
I'm somewhat skeptical about folders not appearing, the Alt+255 character is just a non-breaking space, and should display as such: the name will appear to be blank, but with a clickable folder icon.

However, I can confirm that DIR /S doesn't enter directories starting with that character - TIL!

From reading the source code[1], this happens because it requires the name to be alphabetically below something called the "temp name", which is initialized to start with this character.

What the code seems to be doing is selection sort, finding the first (alphabetically lowest) subdirectory that hasn't been entered yet, by reading the entire directory each time and comparing all the names. Not very efficient, but excusable if it saved some memory.

I'm Deepak, and I'm currently seeking a remote job due to my frequent travel between continents. I have a total of 10 years of experience building and hacking products, with 6 years of professional experience. I am looking for developer or management roles. I'm flexible with time zones and have been focusing on building products for the past year, resulting in some interesting projects. I've discovered that my strengths lie in product development and management rather than sales.
Ever tried to actually "change your gender"? It's not really a thing you can do any more than "becoming gay" if you are straight.
Sometimes an article will land on the front page and it will disgust me so much that I have no choice but to hide it. It’s either that or I will lose self-control and spray radioactive waste all over the people who are commenting inside the said article’s thread.

For this reason alone, it is useful.

You can also use it to bump stories from second page, especially if something you are not interested in is dominating the front page.
> The future for self driving cars are closed roads where only driverless cars are allowed.

Given that human-driven cars, trucks, cyclists are already on the roads and will be for quite a while to come, and pedestrians already cross it, you would have to build a whole new road network, with crossing points for human-driven vehicles/pedestrian traffic. Which is simply infeasible, both in terms of money, but also simply space, especially in built-up areas where the space is already fully utilised.
Faiss is for similarity search over vectors via k-NN. GraphRAG is, well, a graph. More precisely, GraphRAG has more in common with old school knowledge graph techniques involving named entity extraction and the various forms of black magic used to identify relationships between entities. If you remember RDF and the semantic web it's sort of along those lines. One of the uses of Faiss is in a k-NN graph but the edges between nodes in that graph are (similarity) distance based.

Looking at an example prompt from GraphRAG will make things clear https://github.com/microsoft/graphrag/blob/main/graphrag/pro...

especially these lines:

Return output in English as a single list of all the entities and relationships identified in steps 1 and 2.

Format each relationship as a JSON entry with the following format:

{{"source": <source_entity>, "target": <target_entity>, "relationship":
<relationship_description>, "relationship_strength": <relationship_strength>}}
Exactly. I was the first to adopt nearly every new technology in my family growing up. With AI, I query claude like twice a week for things that a search engine never gives to me straight like - "How long do I cook a rack of ribs?", but it's not something I'm about to pay $20/mo for, which is the only way that AI is sustainable. I use it sparingly, and I only use it because it's free. There's just not much appeal to something as unreliable as AI.

Lawyers' time isn't free, and even if you're in the right, it still takes time and money to get a judge to agree with you. South Dakota is like most states, where the expectation is that each of the parties to a lawsuit is responsible for their own costs and fees, regardless of who wins.

"Fun" coda to this story was that about 9 months into the lawsuit, the Plaintiff and his family got hit with an unrelated Federal Civil Rights lawsuit. They own a hotel a few miles from my house, and instituted a blanket ban on Native Americans on the premises, because—in their words—"you can't tell the good Indians from the bad Indians." They put this policy (and their rationale behind it) in writing, if that gives you a hint as to the sort of legal masterminds we were up against.

So you're saying that turning std::span from a standard library class into a language feature wouldn't break the ABI? How so? How would such a language construct fit into the existing ABI?

(for context: parent is referring to the fact that x64 calling conventions mandate structs larger than 64 bits to be passed in memory, which means that passing a 128bit std::span is going to be less efficient than passing a separate 64bit index and 64bit length, as those can go into registers)
yep, a lot of interesting challenges! Will keep you posted. I think cracking the "tone variety" challenge would be a big unlock.

Agreed, I really hope that someday we'll get a full rust browser, because rust is a language where I could see myself contributing (e.g. fixing bugs that annoy me when using it all day) to it, compared to other languages like C/C++.

I think it is pretty clear.

It is hard to see why a state would feel the need to include the government's ability to own weapons at all, let alone in a document listing rights and protections for individual citizens. Furthermore, the statements already draw a distinction between the people and an army controlled by the government.

They can still sell it. We shouldn't assume because the webservers were shut down that everything is deleted and gone. When the article says it's "gone" they mean it is no longer available to the public.

This is awesome! I've done a lot of little projects exploring the use of graphs with LLMs and it's great to see that this approach really pays off. Stupid me for trying to prematurely optimize when the solution is just prompt engineering and burning a bunch of tokens on multiple passes. Going to give this a try and see if my jaw drops. If it's as good as it looks then I'll have to put in the work to get it out of Python-land.
Sonarqube issues were the warning for the SOC-report powered issue scanners that have arrived more recently.
it was actually originally published in 01991 (at which point it was just the comp.lang.c++ faq), but cline continuously updated the faq-lite until 02012†; see the update history at https://web.archive.org/web/20140225204048/http://www.parash.... so it's entirely your choice to only look at a version of it from 01994; you can easily find him merrily celebrating c++'s boneheaded design errors continuously after c++98, after c++03, and indeed after c++11, although the document was looking increasingly old-fashioned

however, even if we only consider the 01994 version, i still extensively disagree with your comment, and i will explain why in detail

in fact c++ was already well defined before ansi formed their committee in 01990, four years before the version of that faq that you chose to read. the arm (not the arm arm, the annotated reference manual) was the standard standard until c++98, and it's written as one. it says things like

> The following rule limits the context sensitivity of the rewrite rules for inline functions and for class member declarations in general. A class-name or a typedef-name or the name of the constant used in a type name may not be redefined in a class declaration after being used in the class declaration, nor may a name that is not a class-name or a typedef-name be redefined to a class-name or a typedef-name in a class declaration after being used in the class declaration. For example,

(that's from §9.9 if you want context)

but why would it be relevant whether there was a c++ standard or not? it would be relevant if the problems documented in the 01994 version of the faq-lite had been eliminated by standardization. but that is comprehensively not the case.
every single one of the misconceived features in the 01994 version of the faq-lite is still in everything resembling a c++ standard, so all the pitfalls of poorly interacting features it documents are still relevant today. that's why i think that even the 01994 version of the faq-lite is relevant

so from my point of view it is not only wholly false to say that there was nothing resembling a c++ standard in 01994, it is also irrelevant whether there was anything resembling a c++ standard when the faq-lite was written (at least for 01994 and later versions)

furthermore, your particular choice of 01994 is unjustifiable and evidently only serves to provide a spurious veneer of justification for your irrelevant objection that (interpreting you generously) the faq-lite predates the c++98 standard. if you thought that was important you should have picked a version of the faq-lite from 01999 to criticize

I agree. That's actually one of few problems with having just canvas - accessibility. Most libraries would not have it, and it would be a disaster for disabled users, but... That's one of few things current state AI could solve. Why not make a neural net that would read or summarize page for blind people? Instead we use it to generate bulsh*t junk content and fake comments...

I mean they're just doing what the oil companies did to great success for decades, the bullshit about buying a hybrid or electric car, or recycling^1 your plastic. Why reckon with the impact of your global industry on the planet and have to answer hard questions when you can just make it the consumers fault and guilt powerless people into using a canvas bag^2 instead of a plastic one, despite the fact that the only reason all the fucking plastic bags exist is because your company is making them by the billion?

1: If you want to get angry, look into what an utter farce plastic recycling is.

2: Not that reusable bags are a bad thing in the slightest, I just don't like being condescended to for using a free resource provided at point of sale by a multi-national conglomerate that's burning the world and then turning around to chide me for having a slightly older car than I otherwise could.
An interesting point, I think I can add that those who know have no need of nice offices, dresses, titles on business cards and so on to "show their identity", while those who do not need them to fill the void. And that's might be a nice "large raw measure" of those who need to fill the void, so they like the office, and those who not. It's an imperfect measure of course because on both sides some are on the opposite classification but it still work in the mean.

Similarly someone who do work less at home typically is someone who can't be productive anyway, who sell his/her own time/presence but not much competence, again that's not always true but I'm pretty confident it's true in the mean.

However the real war is not about being remote or in person, but live in cities vs live outside, because with WFH as the way to work for all eligible jobs the big of real estate go bankrupts quickly, similarly many bit tech service player like Uber, Just Eat and so on, together with the cloud+mobile model. The rest is marginal.

Some do like the office because they have tough familiar situations and being "separated" for a significant part of the day means for them have a way to keep their family, witch sounds good for them, but IMVHO it's just a way to torture themselves more, some other do like the office simply because they can't afford a good home and they have a better setup in the office, again it's not a good thing to have IMVHO but all such examples are marginal.
