Many are. It's a wild west right now with lots of money flowing into AI startups, that's why every company under the sun is adding AI to its products and most of it is crap. A good majority of those will fail. Some will find product market fit and become profitable. A few will make it really big.
as sibling mentioned the 188GB is for a pair. The memory bump is from enabling the 6th block of memory that is otherwise disabled on H100s. I assume an "NVL box" is still 8 total GPUs, so more like

8x H100 NVL (94GB, 800W)

the AMD box has a lot more GPU memory
I believe it supports both, however only uses acpi when booting windows.
Further Simplifying Self-Referential Types for Rust
It's the same Big Ball of Mud architecture.

It's just implemented over YAML (what a great programming language!) and has crunchy microservices inside! (I'm not sure I want to know what the crunchy bits in a ball of mud are).
This is good important work - similar to the stuff about antibodies that's been looked into. Hopefully as lab automation/analysis costs keep coming down it'll become more and more feasible to implement validation/characterization requirements into publication processes and increase reproducibility, and it'll be important to know where we're falling short currently.
How do you secure email then? This obviously won't work for login to that.
So linux kernel compiling is niche but not editing videos and audio on the iPad? (source, have friends making money in the audio and video industry and none of them use iPads professionally for the M4 to matter, they all use MacBooks or Mac Studios even though they tired iPad pros)

And you haven't answered my question. For video and audio editing, were the M3 IPads being held back compared to M4 for it to unlock new possibilities that couldn't have been done before and convince new users to switch to iPads?
This is the catch: you're not naming a baby: you're naming a person; they just so happen to be a baby at the beginning when you're enjoying an early appreciation for the mel lif lu ous ness of the name ... but they're going to be an adult the vast majority of their life. Ergo, that ought to be the usage parents plan for, rather than some cute, endearing name "fitting" for an infant (for some definition of fitting).
Yes, it takes me back to configuring my X session for the first time on an NCD Xterminal in the computer lab at uni, connected to the schools's Sun and Dec servers. It was so much better than all the vt220 serial terminals, and they were "scary" enough that it was surprisingly easy to get one.
Korvus: Single-Query RAG with Postgres
Hey fellow open-source enthusiasts,

We built Korvus, an open-source RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline that consolidates the entire RAG workflow - from embedding generation to text generation - into a single SQL query, significantly reducing architectural complexity and latency.

Here's some of the highlights:

- Full RAG pipeline (embedding generation, vector search, reranking, and text generation) in one SQL query

- SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and Rust (more languages planned)

- Built on PostgreSQL, leveraging pgvector and pgml

- Open-source, with support for open models

- Designed for high performance and scalability

Korvus utilizes Postgres' advanced features to perform complex RAG operations natively within the database. We're also the developers of PostgresML, so we're big advocates of in-database machine learning. This approach eliminates the need for external services and API calls, potentially reducing latency by orders of magnitude compared to traditional microservice architectures. It's how our founding team built and scaled the ML platform at Instacart.

We're eager to get feedback from the community and welcome contributions. Check out our GitHub repo for more details, and feel free to hit us up in our Discord!
That’s good, they are also consuming as much. Hopefully India soon catch up.
I have the best job in my career and I was hired from responding to a who's hiring thread. wish I could give more details, but any single data point about the firm yields who it is.

generally, the company was looking for a very unique form of talent driven by a certain attitude and experience. they developed tools for verifying and filtering for it. if you've read any william gibson novels the firm would fit right into something he would describe.

if I were to characterize it, I'd say someone who has been any one of a FOSS contributor, bootstrapped founder, hacker, competitor especially elite level or minor fame in anything, autodidact, amateurist, performing artist, among other high competence bars that demonstrate tacit knowledge, focus, clarity, humility, reflexive curiosity, and related qualities, then imagine a firm that had somehow managed to quietly collect scores of them.

HN seems to attract a cluster of those people.
This:

> this acts to insert all lines of the named procedure into the executing program at the point where the call occurred

...is quite dubious, perhaps it works in Logo, but in many languages it would raise scoping issues at the very least. Procedures calls are not in general the equivalent of textually cutting and pasting the procedure's code. Given that Logo has dynamic scoping, perhaps it works - but that's an issue in itself, dynamic scoping is hard to reason about in general.
That statement was from less than a year ago.
"Maybe this person who did this for 20 years did not know what they were doing" is such an HN take.
There was no M3 iPad so the question is incorrect.

But if you’re talking compared to the M2, it has a number of updates

1. Significant performance and efficiency gains

2. New GPU with raytracing and mesh shading , and much higher performance.

3. AV1 decode

4. New display controllers required for the new tandem OLED

5. Huge upgrade to the neural engine

I’m sure I’m missing stuff, but the M4 iPad Pro is a legitimate step up from the M2 for capabilities. Unless you fall in the camp of it being just a media consumption device

if tightvncserver is to be trusted, the new default is a solid gray, which i have to admit looks nicer. that doesn't seem optimal from the point of view of testability (for example, it'll look the same if your gamma is wrong, or if you've confused bgr with rgb, or used a tiled memory layout instead of the correct raster order or vice versa, though maybe not if you have a bit-plane layout or the wrong number of bits per pixel) which suggests that there was a different objective

Only if I grant them root, which I'd only do to a very small number of open source apps

I instead have to use my desktop web browser, and desktop operating systems have a far worse security model than Android. No special permissions are generally needed to capture the screen, capture/inject keystrokes, or open .mozilla/whatever/cookies.sqlite

So my phone is still the significantly more secure environment. The fact that I have the ability to grant root does not make it "compromised"
My guess is that it is still somewhat relevant since many religions draw their teachings from real-life stories passed down over generations. Maybe the names are wrong, and the numbers inflated, but I've seen this exact same scenario plenty of times in my life. That's why we have expressions like "burn bridges," "sever ties," or "quemar naves" in Spanish, all more or less indicating a point of no return where the outcome could be equally negative for all involved parties.

Model rockets work with solid rocket motors which have a very different (and once you light them uncontrollable) performance than liquid rocket motors where you can throttle them.

> and now a hobbyist copies the idea and scales it down.

The rocket is still working with solid rocket motors. This isn't scaled down - it is an entirely different technology based on precalculated motor performance and altitude sensors.

If you could get the space shuttle solid rocket boosters to land, that would be comparable.

Because modern operating systems like macOS don't have it and it looks old. When it comes to GUIs -- modern good, old bad. This is actually borne out by psychological research in which users found more modern-looking UIs to be subjectively easier and more pleasant to use. It can be jarring to the end user if some component fails and that visually noisy 1bpp stipple shows up. A more modern, seamless experience is worth more than the frisson of nostalgia you get seeing your X server look exactly as it did in the 80s upon initialization.

Then the monitor would freak out and start buzzing on the high resolution modeline that didn't quite work so you would switch away and go back to tweaking it.

Disingenuous. "Held back" implies Apple could have made M4s a year sooner.

While it is comforting to fall back on reductive and overly simplistic answers that simply blame the individual for not having the willpower to "just maintain" a healthy weight, the reality is a bit more complicated. The intersection of education, food availability, economics, genetics, mental health, etc. all play a factor.
I can view without an account. It may be region-specific (or ad-blocker specific).
Genlock is absolutely not needed to overcome clock skew; sync to nearest frame at cuts and resample the audio to the frame timings. Plus most modern equipment has really great clocks and I would not be surprised if it drifts less than hypothesized.

Let's imagine we are shooting 24fps on a couple of iPhones; what is the clock error required to drift out by 1 frame over 10 minutes? The answer works out to about 70ppm. The iphone uses a MEMS oscillator with about a 5ppm error, so ... eh? Just doesn't seem likely to be a big issue for regular stuff. If you are shooting scientific data or something maybe this matters more, but you'll have to account for it in that context no matter what.
The whole war has been going for 9 months. Things change fast. It was a stupid statement by a stupid/evil government, but facts have changed quite a while back in relative terms.
Sure, those are nice improvements, no question about it, but none of those change the iPad fundaments or unlock new possibilities for it, which is that it wasn't previously compute limited but limited by iPad OS. It's also not just my opinion but almost all users who reviewed the M4 iPad Pro, like MKBHD, calling it a overpriced Netflix machine.
Really? What browser are you using? Is it up to date?
at that point you are likely slowing down your applications - I think a basic OpenTelemetry collector mostly solves this, and if you go beyond the available buffer there, then dropping it is the appropriate choice for application logs.

It’s not a game changer, never meant to be. Apple updates the hardware, shows you the possibilities and charges you an arm and a leg for it. What you do with it is your own business *

Another thing is you’re comparing apples to oranges. iPads aren’t meant to be used in that way and if you want to do it anyway you have to hack your way there. You should be perfectly capable of compiling the Linux kernel on their more general purpose machine - the Mac.

* within the limitations of the iPad AppStore
Non technical architects are a thing, mostly at nontechnical companies.

I use to work for a health insurance company that had these people. It went about as well as you expected.

Devs were given very basic flimsy architecture diagrams that would only cover the happy path and require constant back and forth to clarify what actually needs to be.

The only thing I came away thinking was that health insurance companies should not exist. Or at the very least, they need real competitive markets. If the majority of your income comes from payments by the government maybe you should just be nationalized and save the public some money at this point.

But I digress.

This is going to become very popular in those industries. It’s similar to joining a company that dumps low-code solutions on you while refusing to allocate any resources to build in-house tooling. Maybe at least the AI outputs will provide solutions using common libraries and tooling. That would be a win over low-code tooling imo, at least from the perspective of a dev that would be maintaining it. At least that’s my inclination.
I doubt you can correlate to a line. But it may track a down-facing arc.

Logs should compress better than that, though, right? 5:1 compression is only about half as good as you'd expect even naive gzipped json to achieve, and even that is an order of magnitude worse than the state of the art for logs[1]. What's the story there?

They make printed circuit bards (PCBs) and have their own layout free software PCB123, which I've not used. If you are into PCB layout their blog is worth following for layout tips. I have bought boards from them and had no issues.

It is actually a pretty unique pattern. It's not one of the standard patterns that you found, for example, in the original MacPaint:

And you could set desktop patterns but I can't find any list of what the defaults were:

I think if you clicked there like arrow buttons it cycled through the defaults. I don't remember them having any pattern that wasn't in MacPaint, though.
Very difficult with most big banks.

In my experience with Bank of America and US Bank they bounce you around to several totally different top level domains as you navigate through the web-based banking.

These are third-party service providers that the banks contract for various pieces of their online infra… And it is a complete mess in terms of conditioning consumers to be phished.
Born in the late 70s, so also mid-40s, I worked retail in the 90s and older pricing guns often used a raised · rather than one aligned with the baseline, so I didn't doubt that it might have been common, or even official, in the past, when I read it. Such guns would sometimes have “old style” alignment with the baseline for the numbers¹ too.

The “still in use today” part is quite definitely wrong though.

The economics angle is the one you want to expand on.

You see, Jim is an economist.

When he gets a piece of advice, he thinks about game theory. He recognizes there is information asymmetry between the advisor and the advisee. He thinks about whether your incentives are aligned. He thinks about whether there's any cost in producing the advice, vs following it. He thinks about further-round effects of you potentially becoming dependent on the advisor for future decisions, and the principal-agent perspectives in that relationship.

Jim is a dismal character.
Yea, on a news site, the metrics are important. If suddenly you start seeing errors accrue above background noise and it's affecting a number of people you can act on it. If it's affecting one user, you probably don't give a shit.

In finance if someone puts and entry for 1,000,000,000 and it changes to 1,000,000 the SEC, fraud investigators, lawyers, banks, and some number of other FLAs are shining a flashlight up your butt as to what happened.

The mistake that a lot of people make is that they think science is all about proving things.

In actuality, science done right is all about disproving things.

You can spend a lifetime tracking down all the white swans to “prove” that “all swans are white”, but you need to find only one black swan - as the British did when they reached Australia - to disprove that hypothesis.

Science is about disproving things, as it is by far the easier path - and frequently, the only possible path - to take. And by disproving things, we push back the darkness more and more, until what little remains must contain the truth.

And when science “changes it’s mind”, it’s simply science obtaining more data that points better towards that truth, more of the darkness has been pushed back and the old position was eliminated by the new evidence.
When you have metrics, you should also keep sampled logs.

Ie. 1 per million log entries is kept. Write some rules to try and keep more of the more interesting ones.

One way to do this is to have your logging macro include the source file and line number the logline came from, and then, for each file and line number emit/store no more than 1 logline per minute.

That way you get detailed records of rare events, while filtering most of the noise.

It being a new project written in C can also be good enough reason for you not to use it: dust already exists and is written in Rust, which you can use instead.
> iPads aren’t meant to be used in that way

Correct, and if they're only meant to be used within the restrictive limitation of the AppStore then who cares about them, other than the small market of iPad OS AppStore users, most of which don't even used the full potential of the M3/M2 on their iPads let alone need the M4?

Chips from Intel, AMD, NVidia, etc are big news because since they're generic compute chips, so they unlock new uses cases and research that can improve or even change the world, not just run IOS apps a bit faster.

For example, do you think those Apple EEs are using iPads to design the M4 chips or X86/Mac computers?

China's installed solar power capacity rises 55.2% in 2023.[1]
It added 216 GW of solar PV capacity alone in 2023 that was equal to 14% of the world's total installed solar PV capacity, more than what many countries have ever installed in total.

India added 7.5 GW of solar in CY 2023, a 44.1% drop from 13.4 GW installed in CY 2022.

So India 7.5GW vs China 216 GW.

"China is already the largest industrial robot market in the world. It accounted for 52 percent of robot installations worldwide in 2022" [2][3]
