It won't be for a while. It really takes someone to focus on this and it isn't just AMD. The team at MLPerf will need to step in as well and from my discussions with them, they are busy enough as it is with their own goals.

My company, Hot Aisle, has a box of mi300x (soon to be +16 more) that we have dedicated as a free resource to unbiased benchmarking. That's instigated articles like the Chips & Cheese one and the Nscale Elio post...

They've been working on that for years.

In that case the true analog loophole will still be possible with a camera pointed at a monitor inside a light-proof box. If it comes to that, I will build such a device. AI can probably fix degraded video quality pretty nicely anyway.
That's more a matter of scale, I think, than material? Whether it's wool or leather or plastic or cotton or hemp or flax, if you need millions or billions of units of something, it's going to incur large scale habitat loss somewhere in the world.

I guess then it's a question of land use (converting ecosystems into rangeland) vs pollution (from fossil fuels and plastics).
fairly sure the Lean Startup book is based on intuit, which is funny given that rather than a product company, they are a lobbying organization so distasteful that even a country generally tolerant of distasteful lobbying finally succeeded in passing them like a kidney stone
I’m not sure this is the best example of the power of an LLM. Not denying there are actual uses cases, but simply searching Google “Lime movie Jack the Ripper” will display the answer in the first result (and I imagine would have been able to do that for the past 10+ years)

I gave an example, when I'm wearing headphones I don't want this enabled. If I'm recording anything, I probably don't want it on either. If I'm using a virtual output, I don't want AEC to treat that as a loudspeaker.
> The thing that I've learned makes an application good for note-taking is a lack of features.

The best featureless app I've ever used for taking notes is the pen and paper sitting next to me for the specific purpose. Admittedly, it's not convenient at any time other than sitting at the desk and focused. There are plenty of studies about the process of writing notes vs typing notes when it comes to long term retention. There are times where I'm wrestling with a problem that is just a bit more data than my L1 cache (my head) can remember and need to offload some of the data to RAM (scratch pad), but I can just jot down the data without actually looking at it. Even being able to try to sketch data has helped. I have yet to ever find an app even remotely as effective to the point, I'm stopped trying anything else. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Huh? I just tried tagging a message, which opens a popup for Telegram Premium. Also web search brings up "Tags are already available to all Telegram Premium users." from Telegram website - it's an old post, but I don't see anything anywhere that says otherwise. Or do you mean #hashtags?
I do use Nix and direnv for my work Ubuntu machine. The glibc issue rings true, it was crashing my file manager for quite a long time (I suspect for thumbnail generation). I learned to become better at cli file management ;).

Apart from glibc, I have never had issues with two sets of binaries vying for superiority. Nix binaries take preference with my "vanilla" setup. I think that might be Devbox doing something strange with $PATH?

I work at an archive for public opinion data and from time to time we get a bunch of boxes from the Reagan administration in paper form or we get stacks of punched cards in "column binary" format or 9-track tapes, the IT guy in the next office has a computer set up to read many formats of legacy floppy. We haven't dealt with videotape so far as I know but we aren't intimidated by old formats.
Brian Kernighan on “The Practice of Programming” [video]
This author is great. Sort of like pewdiepie of climbing equipment and general climbing, while he was still non-controversial. I do some tree-work with ropes and dabble in some climbing and his videos are very informative, many times very analytical and fun to watch.
I’m also bullish on Intel, but clearly not as much as you. Intel is transitioning right now. x86 is never going to reclaim the crown of most important architecture, so Intel is trying its best to become a foundry for all the fabless customers out there. It’s going to take a long while, but right now they’re the best company to compete with TSMC in ten years. If Apple uses their foundries next decade, you’ll know Intel is back on top.
I think the problem was OP wanted to build an app, and the solution was building the app. Totally fine!
U.S. Constitution at least seems to side with innovation, not openness. Constitution article 1 section 8 says Congress shall have power

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries"

This says nothing about publication, only about progress and exclusivity.
That's not obviously the case at all. But unless someone actually does it, we'll never know either way.
I was interested in the figure regarding numbers of people in houses vs apartments/flats (quick google search):

In the EU in 2021, 53 % of the population lived in a house, while 46 % lived in a flat (1 % lived in other accommodation, such as houseboats, vans etc.).

As of 2023, about 65% of Americans live in detached houses, while 35% live in apartments. Around 40% of individuals living in poverty in the U.S. reside in apartments.
>Not sure if it is a great win for the EU at large if their AI startups get bought up by American companies though, to be fair.

That would be a concern if the plan was to move the entire team to the US. But if the Finland based company just becomes a part of AMD then I see little downside. Some very competent people in Finland now have $665M to fund new startups.

Ultimately I think the most important question is where the interesting and high productivity work gets done. That's the place that benefits most.
Sounds like a case for lazy glasses.
I think the issue is less about the move itself but how it looks for the CEO in light of various comments he's made over the years. He has a tendency to weigh in on political issues, sometimes in quite a hyperbolic fashion and sometimes in seeming contrast to his actions. For example, in 2000 he said claimed it would be "suicidal" for the UK not to join the Euro currency, but hey look we still have a functioning economy. In 2016 he said that Britain has more to gain from leaving the EU than staying in, yet has since axed over 1500 jobs in the UK and moved the HQ out to Singapore.

I wouldn't say this necessarily makes him a hypocrite, it just feels rich that he gets airtime for his questionable views on political topics all the while having basically no skin in the game.
This is all good information. I'd only add:

You left out Canada. IC certs are kind of a pain because some of their rules are very slightly different plus you need a representative in Canada.

UL standards can be read (but not downloaded) for free on UL's standard store. These don't include IEC standards adopted by UL, but do include national differences for those standards for the US.

The specific procedures your test lab will use in the US for typical part 15 devices include procedures covered by ANSI C63.4 (unintentional radiators) and C63.10 (intentional radiators). These you can't get from the Estonians. You probably won't need them but they can be helpful if you get serious about pre-compliance testing or if you are puzzled by what the lab is doing. IEC CISPR standards overlap here. There is a list of measurement procedures on the FCC web site:
https://www.fcc.gov/general/equipment-authorization-measurem...

You should have an engineer or "directly responsible individual" on site at the test lab during testing for all kinds of reasons, from building capability and understanding of the process to having someone there to clear up any misunderstandings. If you have a consultant do this for you, you or someone from your company should be there also.

For transmitters (intentional radiators) you can look up test reports and submittal information for competing products on the FCC's web site. That's one way to get an idea of what your test requirements and setups will look like. For unintentional radiators, you can find some test reports with a web search - companies are not required to make these public.
> I still think the way they've done this stinks though.

What would you do in their position?

This seems like on of these things, just like changing the design of your product where you will never be able to make everyone happy and there will always be a small group complaining.
Sure, but I just use a personal Telegram channel for this. It's quite well-searchable too, and it serves me 95% perfectly.
Thanks for the great blog Liz.
I used a journal app that worked like this for a little while. I ultimately stopped for a couple reasons.

1. It didn't allow editing of past posts. It was on the roadmap, but never came. To fix a typo or something, I'd have to copy the note, paste, fix, post again, delete the bad one.

2. I was always worried about putting anything important in there, as longevity was always a question. There was an export option, but if I remember correctly, it was in JSON. Which is fine I guess, but the idea of having to write some kind of parser to take that and turn it into something I'd actually want to put into whatever solution I might have in the future kind of annoyed me.

Does your app allow for editing past posts? How is data stored, markdown in a folder I can simply browse, or some kind of DB?
Why does there always have to be a captcha? I see the proof-of-work system many deplatformed sites use, and it seems to be a much better solution for quenching bot activity than making the user perform a humiliation ritual or deny them simply because they use a certain browser.

It's true that big market players like Google tend towards monopoly in the browser market, but it's the shadow players like Cloudflare that enforce their unwritten rules.
> capitalism has no morals beyond profit.

Liberalism does, to the extent the goal is human flourishing. Denigrating Capitalism for not being about morals makes as much sense as denigrating a tractor for not being about morals. Capitalism is merely what is employed as a tool (in part, as we used mixed-market economy) for the economic branch of our system.
Then I’m failing to see why it’s “bad” other than the verbosity/visual noise, which does in fact go away if you hide it (this is the point of abstraction in general, of course)
> Also we all hate each other. The US is a country of individualists, we'd much rather be on our than in a group unless it's for purely social reasons.

I worked for a multinational company that frequently flew people in to the US offices from abroad.

Many people had difficulty adjusting to how friendly and social the United States was, on average. The US norms are much more social and friendly to than many countries.

I’ve even worked with countries where smiling and laughing in a work situation is a faux pas. The US is an extremely friendly and social place by global standards.
A train derailing onto another track would be a hell of a derailment

Too bad that you need an account to manually upload new clips.

As the owner of some analog gauges that have lost their calibration, I disagree.
I'm curious about these "licensing issues" you speak of. From what I've seen, the vast majority of the ROCm components are MIT licensed, with a few bits of Apache license and NCSA Open Source License mixed in. Could you possibly elaborate on that?
I'm going to explore integration with other formats in the future. Right now there's experimental (incomplete) support for importing from OpenAPI v3. I'd like to add Postman and Insomnia collection importing too. Some kind of integration with Hurl could be very nice too, but would likely come further down the line.
I use a variety of note taking systems, but one I use for quick notes is Signal. It's always there, syncs to my devices, I trust the encryption and privacy stance, and it has a reasonable search implementation. As a bonus, I can easily forward notes from other conversations, like reminders my wife sends me.

> Or maybe the holy grail hasn’t been created yet in this category: a compiler that can transform arbitrary computations or expressions of computational goals into their maximally parallel form…

I am not an expert at concurrency, so forgive my ignorance. If such a compiler existed, wouldn’t its purpose be defeated by external code? As in, someone provides a library whose concurrency properties are unknown.
You lost me at ‘maintain’. It’s definitely not easier than just updating a single .button class, and I’m not going to create reusable components out of everything in my project, the <Button /> approach doesn’t work for everything.
"What are the alternatives" is the wrong way to look at this. Morally, patronizing twitter with your time, attention, or money means supporting someone amplifying hate speech and conspiracies and trying to delegitimize democracy. It is clear that participating on twitter is morally untenable.

So Step 1 is to not use twitter, period. Step 2 can be looking for alternatives, sure, but Step 1 is to leave, no matter what.
> The best featureless app I've ever used for taking notes is the pen and paper sitting next to me for the specific purpose.

True! At work, I carry a pencil and small notepad for this reason. But outside of work, I don't always have one at hand and so other methods come into play.
Interesting. Why don't more of these open source companies complaining about being cannibalised adopt AGPL instead?

I’ve had the same car, in the US, for 5+ years now. They’re amazing as an around-town car, and virtually free to drive. I can go to the next town over twice in a day, which is more than I want to. I just charge it overnight on a plain old 110v plug.

I think every family with 3+ cars should consider replacing one with a used Leaf - chances are you don’t really need more than 70 miles of range on more than 1-2 vehicles.

I don’t care at all about the environmental stuff, only about not going to gas stations and never doing any maintenance. And, as OP notes… they are surprisingly fun to drive.
Ahh ok so it sounds like systemd-boot's philosophy is keeping things simple and minimal and re-using UEFI firmware as much as possible, to minimize risks with the linux kernel having issues booting, at the expense of not having as many features.

I suppose then the hope is that nmbl would basically be a general-purpose fully-featured replacement for grub, which seems to be going in the direction of being a full kernel anyway:

> one with quite some bells and whistles, with networking, complex storage, cryptography, http client, ca store and stuff (I mean, that's how I understand it, i.e. it should be able to load kernels from sources that require all that). It hence will need require regular updating (as much as the 2nd stage kernel most likely, if not more often, since it probably needs ca store built in), and quite possibly will break every now and then nonetheless, because it's basically a full OS you are boot as first stage.

- https://lwn.net/Articles/981149/

It sounds like if you don't need grub's complex features, then systemd-boot is probably the safest way to go, but if you do need grub's complex features, then nbml aims to be the safest and most reliable way to get those features.

It looks great! I'm building https://histre.com/ and I find that some people do prefer to use a chat app they're already using. I built a Telegram bot so that they can keep taking notes on Telegram and not have to switch, but still get all the benefits of a real knowledge tool: https://histre.com/features/take-notes-with-telegram/ Perhaps you could build something like that to ease the transition?
Generative AI chat is incredibly useful for learning, especially tasks that require a lot of inline learning such as software engineering. I use generative AI chat constantly, because it is basically a Stack Overflow that is near instant with it's answers and can debug error messages extremely well.

I don't even have to leave my code editor if I install the extension in my IDE. And with an IDE extension it can be aware of the actual context of my codebase to the point where it can write code samples that reference my own methods and variables.

It's incredibly helpful. I've seen and used a lot of different learning techniques over the years. I started out learning coding from physical books. Then it was online bulletin boards and forums, and Google. But AI agents and chat have replaced almost all of that now. I rarely waste my time on Google anymore when I can get more relevant answers, faster, right in my IDE.

Sure there is the occasional hallucination, but its not that much worse than terrible answers on Stack Overflow, or junk blogs and outdated docs that Google surfaces because someone SEOed the hell out of them.

Actually, it is zero sum. there's finite resources, human talent, and centers for decision making. yeah, European startup gets American money today, and American decision making center grows larger. whether the money paid into Europeans now is used to prop up new generation of startups - in any meaningful way - will remain to be seen. most likely: these senior staff/founders will probably allocate their cash where it is more efficient and I doubt it will be (meaningfully) in europe
Yeah I saw the stock market uptick, but that is a kneejerk reaction by the public markets. It's not as if the public market participants have had ample time to evaluate the merits of the acquisition, and even then, if they are right or not.

But this only happens if the copying collectors' space is growable and discontinuous. I think a better scheme is to just use copying for the young generation and mark and sweep for the older ones. Structuring the heap into blocks seem quite misguided, imo.
This framing is just wrong; there has never been, is not currently, and will never be a guarantee that you can sustain a company entirely off of an open-source offering.

If you are concerned about your livelihood then don't hinge it on the viability of open source projects to underpin your business model.

I've said it before, I will say it again.

Redundancy in novel fields is not a waste, it creates opportunities to try subtly different approaches in various places, and in so doing creates new knowledge that can progress all similar projects in the future. At some point, if you dump the same amount of human resources into a single project vs separate projects, you end up with something approaching the same thing, but resources (dollars/people) aren't entirely fungible and having separated projects provides an opportunity for cultural dissimilarity and other human factors to create innovation that would otherwise be stifled in a larger funded project.

Personally, I am really happy to see how much investment from many different angles is happening around space.
