>I don't believe this is nearly as significant a problem in the general case as you think it is.

My original comment was about manned space flight in particular. If your application is relatively generic I think it is completely okay, if you are aware of it and mitigate the most pressing issues.

>Numeric systems that truly fix cancellation are incredibly big and heavy, and cannot usually be used for real-time calculations in a generic form.

You can use interval arithmetic, which guarantees that you at least know when cancellation has occurred. Interval arithmetic is fast enough for real time, although it has its own significant drawbacks.

> It is actually harder to design systems in fixed point that avoid massive precision losses than it is in floating point, and the error analysis is much more substantial.

Absolutely. My point was, that a manned space craft, might just be the point to do it.
> Something like that really deserves to be written in C so you don't need to install Ghidra to use it.

By that logic, it should be written in JS so you don't need to install a C build toolchain for it.
Fair enough, I guess we have different opinions on what "fixing the layout" really means :)
Doesn't antitrust already deal with this kind of thing?
I had to think hard about this, and I couldn't come up with something so obvious that it would be a no brainer to not use Nim.

__MatrixMan__ and SJMG have good points. If it's anything, it wouldn't be a technical issue in the language. It's like a Tesla when it first came out; it was obvious that EVs are the future, but they had less investment, less adoption, not enough charging stations, shorter range, and not a lot of certified shops for repairs. So naturally a lot of people held back until it became mainstream.

The issue is, will it become mainstream one day? Maybe, maybe not. But I'm betting on it myself.
5 x 600mw x 52 is over 150 gigawatts added per year, of baseline power ( which is what nuclear power produces).
You have it backwards. If you have a single receptacle on a branch circuit then the OCPD (breaker) must be sized at or under the receptacle. I.e., a 50 amp outlet can be backed with a 50 amp breaker or anything smaller. You could even have a 20 amp breaker (and 12 gauge wire) backing a 50 amp outlet, which is common for welding applications where peak currents are extremely high on arc start but continously are much lower. There's a specific carve out for welders as well, but it applies to any outlet.

I just wonder when the dam is going to break. Part of how Google spun money for so long is because they had high quality search to run ads on, but some of these latest changes have completely lost the plot. I don't need an animated ai response to my basic question: I want an answer. Especially when a bit ago on a different device I asked the same question and got the answer the first time. I haven't been so inclined to entertain what if I just did it myself thoughts for search in at least 15 years but it has become very an increasingly loud thought.

Google weirdly does that already, in a way. It tracks when you come back quickly from a page to the search results and interpret this as a negative feedback ( not a positive one ).

Sure it may be weird, but my company utilized rsync for almost everything, and we were transferring files that were 100+Gb on the regular so this was actually a great tool to compare against since we were already using it for large file transfers.
That did in fact work! Thank you!
Programming visually is a very hard topic and I am not qualified to talk about it.
However, for me it is extremely weird that programming is still about entering some code / functions from top to bottom in a text file.

Please let me enter code in a 2d canvas where I can put a bunch of functions that are related to each other in one corner, etc. Because I don't need to scroll through code when I know exactly where I put it on a 2d canvas because the thing has an actual shape instead of just top to bottom. Give me different views based on what I am doing. Implementing a feature? Debugging? The developer tooling is abysmal in general and I think the programming industry is doing an awful job in doing any progress as companies don't seem to properly fund these efforts. It is capitalism baby.
I habe to say, I am not really a programmer and I have mental limitations which would benefit a great deal from better tooling.

This is just how businesses evolve. Early Google was driven by founder vision and engineering excellence. They wanted to build something better than everything else.

L402: The Missing Piece in the Internet's Payment Infrastructure
Yeah it's really horrible. I can't imagine what ridiculous metrics they're using internally to justify the changes. Well I'm sure some of them are "optimize the algorithm for profits"... but surely the fact that people are giving up on Google entirely as a result shows up in the data also? Or maybe it's just that the arms race against SEO has been temporarily lost.

I can't remember the last time a google search gave a useful result, outside of appending "reddit" to the answer so that the result is (probably) written by a human instead of bs blogspam. And I'm sure that won't work for long either.
My son who started programming at 7 pretty quickly moved on from languages like Scratch and Tinker. To the extent to which he uses them at all, it’s mostly to play games that are available in them. I’m not entirely convinced that he couldn’t have just started with Javascript or Python. It’s not like learning the syntax for a for loop¹ is that much harder than arranging the blocks in one of those block languages.

There are successful companies that are open source and seem to be doing well (though both have free tiers). Two that come to mind immediately are writing platform bibisco and email service Proton Mail. There's a list at https://github.com/mrjoelkemp/awesome-paid-open-source which isn't exhaustive, and, again, all have a free tier. So it's possible to do so but they generally use a free tier.
Sorry if this wasn't helpful. I started this trying to figure out if I could find one similar (open source, paid only) that was successful, but negative results are important also!
That said, your concern that someone might copy the code doesn't seem to be that big - I mean, no one seems to have done that with Proton Mail, which boasts c.100 million (!) users.
As Italian, I really hope so. Our green party and ecologists raise a lot of terror after Chernobyl and Fukushima incidents and people voted twice against nuclear.

> Soon the cost of microcircuits started to decrease, and it became possible to consider the development of pocket size calculators with prices accessible to the wide consumer.

Most of calculator models cost like 30%-50% of monthly salary of engineer who developed such devices. Scientific ones were up to 100%. It was quite far from accessible.
Thanks for the clarification.

I doubt if this is a new thing though and both options are not mutually exclusive. Google probably now has enough signals to detect a vast majority of pages to be not worthy of even crawling. I would be surprised if they figured this out in 2024 and not in 2014.

Chances are these pages are absolute garbage.

Greetings, I work on SCALE.

It appears we implemented `--threads` but not `-t` for the compiler flag. Oeps. In either case, the flag has no effect at present, since fatbinary support is still in development, and that's the only part of the process that could conceivably be parallelised.

That said: clang (and hence the SCALE compiler) tends to compile CUDA much faster than nvcc does, so this lack of the parallelism feature is less problematic than it might at first seem.

NVTX support (if you want more than just "no-ops to make the code compile") requires cooperation with the authors of profilers etc., which has not so far been available

bfloat16 is not properly supported by AMD anyway: the hardware doesn't do it, and HIP's implementatoin just lies and does the math in `float`. For that reason we haven't prioritised putting together the API.

> Facebook developers also use the power grid, but that fact shouldn't divert rage towards solar panels.

Huh?

In this example, it would be more like I don't really care about commercial solar panel installers supporting Facebook. I do care about solar, and would be excited about more home grown solar solutions, and I think kids seeing people in their community benefit directly from solar is more likely to get them to go into solar technology than seeing it benefit some giant corporation, especially when the giant corporation is just using that solar energy to do shitty things.
It's tricky because the kind of buyer I have in mind would feel uncomfortable with that operation despite having the best instructions. It would lead them to pass on this product at this stage thereby ruining my market validation.

I want to make the experience as seamless as possible given the constraints, and popping the SD card in the slot is the best I came up with so far.

Having said that, the comment by tjohns below made me rethink some things. I may end up providing both the download link, and also mail the SD card.

> Mailing SD cards in their final form in a regular envelope is not secure. An adversary could intercept and reformat, and it'd be tough to tell. I realize this is unlikely, but still, I'm like.. why?

I agree. It's a poor medium for many different reasons. However, if I can sell these, then I can sunset them and start working on the actual electronic device, which will house the OS and software on eMMC or SSD.
This Tesseract project is such an interesting study in what it takes to build a computer from scratch.

I think Amigas occupy such a cool middle ground between eminently discoverable - one can learn how everything works in them - while at the same time, with a heap of extra RAM and a faster CPU - you can run an almost modern desktop environment on them, including development environment.

My issue is this. Or, more specifically, I think the actual privacy invasion doesn't come from the use of cameras, it comes from the use of databases.

I honestly don't care even a little if I happen to appear in (or even are the subject of) a random photo taken by a regular person. I care a lot if I appear in a commercially-operated snapshot/video.

The difference is that a regular person probably isn't going to include that photo/video and related metadata in a database where it will be combined with the contents of other databases and weaponized against me.

Yes, I know they may upload it to Facebook and such, where it is weaponized. That does bother me, but I choose to ignore that part except to make sure that my friends and family don't do it.
That was my introduction to hacking . The realization that you can make the system to do things that the designers didn't intend it to do, and open the whole new would of possibilities, was what got me hooked and probably made me choose the path that led to going into computer technology.

> You said that the observations are not human-centered since we need to make machines

I didn't say LIGO was not human centered, but that the gravitational waves which LIGO detected are not human-centered.

I just don't think your take is equivalent to the OP's claim. Yes, our instruments are human-centered because humans are the observers, and so phenomena outside of our perceptual range has to be projected into our perceptual range. That doesn't imply that the underlying phenomena are human-centered, or that the theories formed from those observations are semantically human-centered (syntactically they are because humans have to be able to read them).

I frankly don't even understand the OP's claim: how does the proposition "this is a universe where everything can be empirically tested" logically entail "this universe is human centered". I can agree with being suspicious of the claim that we can empirically test everything, I just don't get how that entails human centeredness.
That's great, you've done the right thing. As your site grows, keep an eye on the "Crawled - currently not indexed" row.

Given AMDs prior lack of interest I'll take whatever options there are. My daily driver has a Vega 10 GPU and it's been quite frustrating not to be able to easily leverage it for doing basic ML tasks, to the point that I've been looking at buying an external nvidia GPU instead just to try out some of the popular Python libraries.
> Market forces, people should be pressured to use more secured services.

There is no such pressure in the market right now. Look at the email-provider market, where secure offering like Proton Mail are nowhere close to less secure ones like Gmail, Outlook/Live.com, etc. Why don't people just flock to Proton Mail?
They explained it in the previous post they linked: https://flyingcarcomputer.com/posts/how-to-validate-market-w...

I really like seeking out collecting and curating Old Hollywood content, the kind that mostly lives on old niche blogs. Google is just not great at pulling them up to a point where if I am seeking those niche blogs, Yandex is my go-to.

Where did you get the A_oxygen and A_carbon in first part?

Take the same calculation, use 12,01 for carbon and 16,00 for oxygen. Values in one reference book, get 2,66444629475 or the 2,644.

Avogadro's number is just number of atoms in the mole. Making atomic masses sensible numbers.

Carbon dioxide is actually relatively bad example as both values are close to integers. Chloride with atomic mass 35,45 starts to be more reasonable example where you have pretty simple number.

As shown dealing with very small numbers like counting together masses of neutrons, protons and electrons and then removing binding energy gets very tiny numbers. Which make calculations more error prone or even complex to do by hand. Using atomic masses which include Avogadro's number makes it much simpler process.

Would you (or your friend) be able to drop any good CUDA learning resources? I'd like to be worth my weight in gold...
I'd recommend including instructions in the email on how they can verify the SD card is loaded with the correct data. (e.g., `dd | sha256sum == curl | sha256sum`). This, I think would give you the best of both worlds. (Those are shell pipes (`|`) in my example.)
Aside from non-local theories which have been known since the 1950s and are regularly used in quantum chemistry, superdeterministic theories have seen virtually no development. Claims that they either of these approaches entail a mountain of nonsense are based on no evidence.

Other than targeted advertising, how has private (I think you meant personally identifiable) information been productized?

This post seems to be based entirely on personal anecdotal experience.

There isn't a shred of hard data to support the headline claim that Google now "defaults to not indexing content".

Google never indexed everything, removing duplicates, blogspam, useless pages, etc. Maybe they've changed their thresholds or maybe not. But this post provides zero evidence of anything. It's pure speculation without any facts at all.

If your point is that HIP is not a zero-effort porting solution, that is correct. HIP is a low-effort solution, not a zero effort solution. It targets users who already use and know CUDA, and minimizes the changes that are required from pre-existing CUDA code.

In the case of these abstraction layers, then it would be the responsibility of the abstraction maintainers (or AMD) to port them. Obviously, someone who does not even use CUDA would not use HIP either.

To be honest, I have a hard time believing that a truly zero-effort solution exists. Especially one that gets high performance. Once you start talking about the full stack, there are too many potholes and sharp edges to believe that it will really work. So I am highly skeptical of original article. Not that I wouldn't want to be proved wrong. But what they're claiming to do is a big lift, even taking HIP as a starting point.

The easiest, fastest (for end users), highest-performance solution for ML will come when the ecosystem integrates it natively. HIP would be a way to get there faster, but it will take nonzero effort from CUDA-proficient engineers to get there.

What makes Proton Mail more secure than Gmail et. al.?
I tried cloudflare but am worried they're going to start restricting features or something because of how aggressively they try to upsell shit I don't need.

They say they sell domains at cost, which is a red flag since it means people who only use them as a register are going to be the first to go when they start loading up the enshittification bandwagon.

I don't care about the price of domains. They're relatively cheap even with the mark up from your typical registrar. What I care about is peace of mind that I won't lose my domain due to an incompetent registrar, or will have to scramble to transfer everything again because of reasons outside of my control. Cloudflare doesn't offer that.

I've now decided to move to Namecheap. Idk how solid they are, but they seem to have been selling domains for a very long time.
> C is just convenient assembly.

I'm not sure if you're being facetious here, but that's absurd. It is certainly one of our lowest-level options before reaching for assembly, but it's still a high-level language that abstracts machine details from the programmer.

> In an era where performance mattered, and much software was written for hardware, and controlling hardware, it's hard to see an alternative.

During that era, people who really needed to care about performance used assembly. The optimizations done by C compilers at that time were not nothing, but they were fairly primitive to what they do now.
I mean, maybe I am just an insane guy on the internet, but to me "correctly rounded", just sounds a bit different to "the implementor gets to decide, how many correct bits he wants to provide".
