Nice paper on interpreter performance optimization, but I also liked seeing the paper context.

> stated in his opening address that the least likely chance for acceptance to PLDI was research in compiler optimization. [...] interpreter optimization had become out of fashion. If I had read the signals right, or if some of the reviewers had pointed this out to me, then I would have submitted this paper to CGO instead, but nobody did and my vanity blinded me
can you ask claude to build a python program that uses multiple processes/threads to check the collatz conjecture for N numbers, where N is however many "vCPU" you want to use; and paste that somewhere?

It doesn't even need to do the timestamping/benchmarking that my singlethreaded does, but i couldn't make 4o nor any local LLM give code that gave correct output when run. This is by far the most trivial and easily checked thing i can personally verify.
>The issue is that all that Finnish labor now fuels a US tech giant who's profit center is in the US, not in EU, therefore mostly boosting the US economy in the process.

No, this is not how it works. Assuming Silo AI continues to operate out of Finland, its investments, the consumption of its employees and its exports will continue to count towards Finland's GDP just like before. Any profits go to AMD shareholders all over the world, not just in the US. The strategic alignment between Silo AI and AMD may well benefit both Finland and the US.

We have a similar debate in the UK regarding DeepMind. And yes it's true, if you assume that DeepMind or Silo AI would have become world dominating tech behemoths in their own right, then it would have been better for Britain/Finland if they hadn't been sold.

But it's also possible that the UK and Finish operations are ultimately more successful as part of Google/AMD because they benefit from strategic opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.

I'm not saying that headquarters don't matter or that there are no downsides (e.g wrt corporation tax). What I am saying is that it's not automatically a bad thing for a country if a company gets sold to a foreign corporation.

One thing is for sure. It's far better to have a lot of US subsidiaries in the country than watching your graduates and startup founders leave for the US.
Is Nvidia Like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble?
Yeah, this was mostly my experience. The Zed editor was fast, but it just felt like it wasn't as good as other editors. For me, the version control integration was particularly poor - it shows some line information, but diffing, blame, committing, staging hunks, reviewing staged changes etc are all missing.

There were a bunch of decisions that felt strange, although I can imagine getting used to them eventually. For example, ctrl-click (or jump to usages) on a definition that is used in multiple places opens up a new tab with a list of the results. In most other editors I've used, it's instead opened up a popover menu where I can quickly select which really I want to jump to. Opening those results in a new tab (and having that tab remain open after navigating to a result) feels like it clutters up my tabs with no benefit over a simple popover.

Like you, I'll probably try again in a few releases' time, but right now the editor has so much friction that I'm not sure I actually save any time from the speed side of things.
> I'm not sure why they didn't go larger -- having a more efficient model that fits on hardware the size of the RPi could be a gamechanger (IIRC TinyLlama 7B does run, barely).

I'm not sure that RPi is the right target for the next step of local LLMs, and I think that it's worth considering web-deployment on engines like WebLLM [1].

A 7B model may "run fine" on a Raspberry Pi, but I've (personally) found 7B models to be a bit larger than I want to download / run for web-based interfaces.

However, a solid 125M model is the sort of thing that I can run on a webpage, and the time it takes to download to the local user's browser (combined with my bandwidth costs) aren't exorbitant.

I email myself notes and reminders as a way to time-shift them. I send to my work account so that I see them the next day, as I don't have a position that requires me to be available or respond during off-hours. It's a way to reduce how many reminders I have blasting notifications on my devices, a sort of mental cheat / hack by spreading them out.

The only time I text myself is to get data from a personal device and a work device. All my "real" notes still go in a plain-text Simplenote document that syncs between my devices. I've started using Apple Notes just in the last few months even though I've had access to the app since its inception (call me old-fashioned and a curmudgeon about plain-text, I guess).
OpenCL was discussed more frequently in classes about a decade ago. However, I haven't heard it mentioned in the last five years or so.

(Otherbranch founder here) Thanks for the support! If you're interested in advising at all, I'd love to have you around. I reached out to everyone whose contact info I had, and I've got a fair number of people back in a room, but obviously didn't hit everyone.
You can try it out below. It's not so evident from the demo but there's an inherent flaky feel to using a Chrome extension as a builder. You never feel sure your states are saved correctly and where you can go to review changes.

There's also the platform risk with Chrome Web Store being poorly supported. I've had important updates take up to a week to come out for no transparent reason.

It might just be a UX we have not cracked but it was easy to onboard, hard to stick. It is also unceremoniously open-sourced so if you want to take up the code I'm happy to support that.

What a joker.

And you're right, this thread is full of misinformation, inaccuracies, and misunderstanding of the current situation.
A few comments below talk about how tokenizing images using stuff like CLIP de-facto yields blurry image descriptions, and so these are ‘blind’ by some definitions. Another angle of blurring not much discussed is that the images are rescaled down; different resolutions for different models. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sonnet 3.5 had a higher res base image it feeds in to the model.

Either way, I would guess that we’ll need new model architectures for multimodal to get really good at some of this, and even then some of these tasks are adjacent to things that we know LLMs are already bad at (numeric logic, for instance).

As context lengths get longer, devoting more tokens to the image tokenization should help a bit here as well. Anyway, I’d anticipate next year we’d see 80s and 90s for most of these scores with next gen models.
For these sorts of things, please do not assume hardware is reliable and compilers are bug free.
>Statistically there should be at least one or two.

Well, if the statistics takes into consideration the notion that a lot of women don't even apply to certain jobs thinking they're under-qualified should we be surprised if there are less than we initially expect?

I appreciate the point of being proactive, since the point above can be somewhat mitigated by HR reaching out to prospects instead of relying on the existing applicant pool. But it seems everyone involved in the hiring process should be as convinced as you about the mid/long-term benefits of having women on the team, otherwise it's a uphill battle passing up perfectly acceptable candidates when there is so much work to get done. It's much easier when everyone believes that the X factor of having a women on the team far outweighs the delays and the accumulating negative effects of business in the short term.
OK. They're legally blind.
I sympathize with the situation that Zed developers are in. They are thinking of the user experience first and foremost, and when trying to distribute on Linux, faced with an overgrown, chaotic landscape that utterly fails to provide the basic needs of application developers, such as the ability to distribute a binary that has no dependencies on any one particular distribution and can open a window and interact with the graphics driver, or the ability to require permissions from the user to do certain things.

I do think that my work contributes to help with this use case. Looking elsewhere on this thread I see that they are having problems fetching and running a nodejs binary successfully. Fortunately, nodejs is a piece of software that can be built and distributed statically. I have not packaged up this one in such a manner but I have done a proof of concept with CPython: https://github.com/allyourcodebase/cpython

That said, if they want to allow users to install Zed through a system package manager, they will need to cooperate with the system and rely on system nodejs instead of trying to fetch it at runtime. Fetching and running software at runtime is fundamentally incompatible with the core mission of Linux distributions (curation, vetting, and compatibility patching of all software that is to be run on the system).
For a note taking app, launch speed is critical. Keep it super fast.
Instead of pasting it in terminal, I opened a new tab and read it. There’s maybe 200 lines, most of which aren’t relevant to my platform. Didn’t see anything unusual.

I then proceeded to install tens of thousands of lines of code I didn’t read onto my machine.

My point? People really seem to be bike shedding this install script bit. If I was a malicious actor I wouldn’t be hiding the bad parts in the install script.
They mean references cited in the metadata but not in the actual paper. So it’s “invisible” and can be gamed because some citation trackers rely on the metadata rather than having to parse the paper.

There were different age groups, the youngest were infants with their parents but the classes I was involved with started at ages 4-5 iirc. These were all an out of school program, I wasn't involved with the swimming lessons given to everybody during school (same pool and head instructor though) but those started at first grade. The kids I taught were all signed up by their parents at whatever age the parents signed them up at.
>Smith said the company was making security its top priority.

This is an outright lie and everyone knows it

Microsoft's actual top priority is growing market cap. More specifically, grow profitability relative to competitors in the sector, aka Apple, Meta etc...

If an increase in "security" (whatever that means) had a linear or directly positively correlated/causal relationship with profitability then they might actually do it

However we all know that security does not increase profitability - it's a cost center from the corporate CFO perspective because literally nobody is tracking "how many contracts did we lose because we didn't actually implement the best security"

The reality is that almost all IT security is theater because the foundational architecture and design of access control, IDAM, network monitoring and alerting, data collection, data segregation etc... all have easily exploitable holes and you only need to break one to bust the whole thing usually. MSFT builds in these holes often intentionally for NATSEC customers, so "security" is just a political ruse

That's why they play these games because almost nobody believes in IT security that also allows for functional and helpful tools - and if they were honest then everyone would be horrified.

At least I've never met anyone (outside of spooks) that takes it as seriously as ACTUALLY the top priority - because that would mean you have to design your stack for it.
>There’s a reason US salaries for software devs are 2-5x EU salaries for similar roles.

When you account for medical costs, rent (especially compared to the localities in the USA that provide these huge salaries), extra vacation time, and for those with children, education and child care, this gap narrows considerably.

Rent alone... one can find a reasonable spot in Berlin for ~$1300/mo. Good luck finding more than a shared box in the Tenderloin for that much in the Bay Area.
I'm definitely interested in exploring this sort of thing. How much can we do with creating interesting characters and interesting circumstances?

Makes me think of the way that characters are set up in AI Alibis -- each with their own secrets, but also with clues about other NPC's secrets. That feels like clever design, and it's the first use-case of using LLMs for NPC dialogue that feels interesting to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40921990

> Statistically there should be at least one or two.

Of course not. Women make up a minority of people working in tech, and are highly recruited by the large companies able to pay the highest compensation. So it's very difficult for other companies to find women willing to work at the lower salaries they can offer.

So there likely is a problem with hiring. They don't have enough money to afford hiring more women.
I thought I'd really (ab)used the CD specs, but don't recall ever trying indexes. Curious how most CD players, which only had a two-digit track indicator, handled indexes. I would have used that if I had known about it.

I think it gets hard when an emergent chain of complex trust relationships need to be built and understood. Things like IAM identity center, workload identity, IRSA on EKS, service principals vs roles for accessing other services from a service, resource policies vs principle-level policies and when to use each. Not necessarily intuitive all the time. I don't think it's THAT hard and I understand why some of these things were built this way, but it's a huge complicated ecosystem of services and I understand why it can get confusing to some. Gotta be disciplined about it.

I write "notes" to myself all the time not because I don't want to use another app, but because I prefer the chronological, quick way that those kind of notes work.

> But then you hear criticisms of women such as your wife, essentially demeaning them for not striving to be the fittest individual economic agents possible.

to some extent I think that pressure is put on everyone. There's a lot of pressure to always be making/spending more money. There's also a lot of jealousy. Almost every person I know with children, man or woman, would rather be with their kids, and be there for their kids as they grow up. Very few couples are fortunate enough to be able to afford a good life on just one income.

That leads to people being resentful that they are missing out on what they want for themselves and their children. They're stuck missing all the once in a lifetime experiences they could be having because they are chained to a desk for 8-10 hours a day 5 or more days a week. That can cause people to resent the few men and women who do get to stay home and be with their family. They'll make others feel bad for not spending their time working for someone else because misery loves company. It's crab bucket mentality.
cool, reminds me of https://gandalf.lakera.ai/
Extracting the key definition:

These additional references were only in the
metadata, distorting citation counts and
giving certain authors an unfair advantage.

Papers with metadata that doesn't match the contents of the paper. The article notes that Google Scholar is unaffected, as it extracts citations from the paper itself by parsing the text of the printed bibliography.
I feel like your response simply reinforces my point:

> The interior experience of somebody who vehemently denies the hard problem must be so much different from my interior experience to the extend that the divide can't be bridged.

The hard problem deals with "why" there's a subjective interior experience to begin with, not the nature of that subjective experience.

And when I say "the interior experience of somebody who vehemently denies the hard problem" I don't mean your experience of qualia and such (e.g. your perceptive experience). I mean your core internal experience of being a conscious entity MUST be dramatically different.

Yeah my experience has been that you aren't going to suffer performance problems with VSCode unless you have an incredibly large codebase. Past a certain point I'm sure Vim/NeoVim/Zed are probably much more performant, but the differences in smaller codebases is barely noticeable IME.

"The post caught the attention of several sleuths who are now the authors of the JASIST article. We used a scientific search engine to look for articles citing the initial article. Google Scholar found none, but Crossref and Dimensions did find references. The difference? Google Scholar is likely to mostly rely on the article's main text to extract the references appearing in the bibliography section, whereas Crossref and Dimensions use metadata provided by publishers."

So Google Scholar uses the text which is good. Then obvious solution is to go and look up where it has been cited, which would be easy to do with google scholar.

I don't know why anyone would jeopardize their career like this.
In my practice? Not really.

For resources like databases, you don't need cross-account access if you're using internal DB authentication systems. For IAM-based DB authentication, you can simply write policies to trust the target accounts.

Occasionally, you'll need to create a cross-account trust (via AssumeRole), but it's not at all that frequent.

My personal wish is for AWS to allow account _names_ instead of ID numbers in policies.

I wonder at what ratio, it will not make much financial sense to outsource to India. For example, for us, we can get folks in Ireland for less than half than the U.S. Much lower for eastern and central Europe. The time zone difference is more favorable than India.

looking around at what though? there's nothing else out there. when Sagan proposed to turn the cameras back to look at earth, ultimately resulting in the Pale Blue Dot and family portrait, there was push back that looking back at the Sun might ruin the sensor. the response was essentially, so what if it does. there's nothing else it will ever be close enough to that would require using the camera.
