I feel like the forces around device driver development conspire to make sure this rarely happens, that is, we can’t have “commodity” hardware that has “cutting edge” device drivers because the time and expense of developing the driver isn’t justified with commodity pricing.

> [Java] I recognized the signs of the platform and language (especially) going a bit stale about fifteen years ago.

Java has become a lot better. It was always a boring, but easy to write, easy to debug, easy to build with language, on purpose. That was the selling feature, so that finding developers was easy. It purposely didn't move quickly, or adopt the latest fasions, waiting them out to see what stuck and adopting later.

Ok, so what? Well, Java has started to evolve more quickly with the new development cycles. I still write Java. We easily deal with null safety, we have a good build system, we have a monorepo, we don't (often) have dependency hell. Most of our code runs on ZGC and we don't think too hard about garbage, because ZGC is so damn fast. Our hotpath is different. We think very carefully about GC and memory access etc on the hotpath. And we have one language, covering both types of coding, in the same repo, the same build, the same tooling, the same monitoring, deployments, etc etc.

Java is a real workhorse and is becoming nice to work with too.

> Somehow, only Apple has seemed to be able to solve this Herculean problem.

Bit of a stab in the dark here but I would assume ARM has at least something to do with this? Tablets, phones, etc. get standby a lot better than x86 systems seem to. My pre-M1 Macbook Pro does not handle standby well but my partner's M2 Macbook Air lasts for forever and handles sleep etc. well. The lower power consumption in "standby mode" on ARM seems like at least part of the picture for why Apple gets this so much better. I bet it's part of why Windows is trying to release their ARM variant and have been working on it for 10+ years
Complete nonsense. They need evidence. If you blow 0s, you're not getting a DUI. Just because you have an example or two doesn't mean it's common. I've been pulled over, blew 0s, passed the tests and let go.
It was actually a reference to executive orders being dictatorial. Both BHO and JRB have referred to them that way when convenient, the used them liberally (sorry/not sorry) once they were able to.

At a previous employer we generated assemblers and disassemblers for various DSP cores based on an Excel spreadsheet that the software tools team shared with the processor architects. The spreadsheet cells described the layout of the various instruction fields; this was converted with a script to an architecture description DSL, from which the assembler, disassembler, and other tools could be generated. Another DSL described the pipeline stalls and hazards, and code generated from the combined descriptions drove instruction schedulers and code checkers.

I used to do something like this all the time with C/C++ compiler tests. I tried lots of fancy tools and stuff, but I kept going back to: expand all macros and retokenize to one token per line (I made a custom build of the preprocessor that had this built in). Then, have a shell script randomly remove lines, and use another script to check that the resulting test case behaves consistently with the failure. It would run for a few hours (or days, for boost problems), then usually you'd get a really minimal testcase that shows the problem. Often I would use this to find regressions. Just have the shell script check one is good, the other has the problem. The resulting output would then usually point exactly at the regressed feature, and make an amazing unit test.

Before leaving compiler team, I wanted to find a way to do this one the AST level (so parens always go in pairs, etc), but that could also complect with the bug.

I wonder if LLMs could accelerate this by more intelligently removing stuff first, iteratively?
This is interesting progress but the key is actual computational benchmark performance such as quantum volume.

It is cool to achieve 99.9 2q fidelity... this is vitally important. And high coherence time is also important.

But you have to achieve "at least" this performance across all connected qubits, with 10's or 100's of qubits on chip, and get tolerant state prep and readout btw, while trying to perform useful quantum computing operations. The difference between this and what IQM announced is VASTLY different.

Yes, the kneejerk reaction against FF here isn't really thinking things through. Mozilla has to walk this tight rope since ad companies own the web already.

Realistically, the best outcome at this point is that enough users are willing to send enough data to advertisers so they allow the open web to continue.

Math is one of the least specific fields of all…

I’m struggling to think of a field that is more general. Information theory? Oh wait, that’s a sub-field of math. Communications? Eh it’s pretty general but math has it beat handily I think.

The idea that it is “done” or “out of interesting problems” is just absurd.

I’m open it the possibility that it’s harder than it was before to find and articulate interesting problems, but that is a very different claim.

The rumor is that this is a bug that happens when you close your laptop screen to put it to sleep BEFORE you pull out the power plug, so the laptop basically never realizes it stopped being plugged into the wall, and does work it shouldn't, like a windows update. I always remove the power before putting a laptop to sleep and do not have this problem anymore.

It happens on macbooks too weirdly.

A sleeping laptop, even "modern sleep" should not be doing enough work to create a meaningful amount of heat.

There is a long history of junk science in forensics [1]. Often this junk science is used to reinforce established biases and give bloodthirsty juries a hook to hang a conviction hat on. Now polygraphs now generally aren't admissible in court. This wasn't always the case [2]. Still, law enforcement does use them to eliminate or confirm suspects outside of a court environment. This can just confirming existing biases.

And that's the deeper issue here: the American criminal justice system is mainly retributive or punitive. Long setnences for minor crimes. High conviction rates. Abuse of the power imbalance between prosecutors and defendants. Judges that essentially work for the prosecution (eg [3]). Juries that just want to convict. Of anything.

Yet there's ample evidence none of this is effective whereas something as simple as giving inmates cats to look after is extremely effective at reducing recidivism [4].

My point is that technology can be (and has been) used as a crutch to confirm biases and that criminals are still people and we should treat them as people.

Is this sensible? Transformers are memory bandwidth bound. Schlepping activations around your home network (which is liable to be lossy) seems like it would result in atrocious TPS.

SmolLM – Fast and Remarkably Powerful
I'd say not 'very different', just scale.

'Controlled' rotting.

There are fungus and bacteria in the aging process, just the temperature and humidity is controlled.

But, not sure of exact technical definition of 'rotting' is, or 'aging'. So we'd be debating different definitions.

I'd say generally both have fungus and bacteria, and 'aging' is under controlled conditions, and 'rotting' is just out in out door environment which is different temperature and humidity.
"Transformers are memory bandwidth bound" - this is the precise reason why this makes sense. If a model doesn't fit into memory on a single device, it needs to be incrementally loaded into memory (offloading), which is bottlenecked by memory bandwidth. Splitting the model over multiple devices avoids this, instead trading off for latency of communicating between nodes. The network bandwidth requirements are minimal since only the activations (intermediary embeddings) are passed between devices. For Llama-3-8B these are ~10KB, for Llama-3-70B these are ~32KB.
