It took a couple of attempts, but I'm really enjoying EndeavourOS and i3 on a Surface _Laptop_ 4.

It's the lightest, most portable and comfortable laptop I've had.
This targets CUDA C++, not CUDA the NVIDIA infrastructure for C, C++, Fortran, and anything else targeting PTX.

How? Who pays for their stuff when most of the people are out of work. Sometimes people forget that the workers are also consumers. You may displace some, but to replace all, blue and white? Not that easy.
What's the motive here?

Either the FBI is withholding information or the shooter didn't leave a trace. If it's the latter, there could be other parties (e.g. foreign governments) involved

The fact that they can't find a motive is very fishy. This isn't just something someone can do on a whim, the guy must've planned this out months in advance. He must have some documents somewhere

I would like to ask about what cool hacky attachments can I buy for a smartphone? Such as the thermal sensor mentioned in this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40947011.

Amazon (in India) turned up nothing when I searched for cool attachments etc.
Watch out with the array mode though, according to OpenAI docs it technically can return the results in any order and you must sort them by index to be sure you have the right associations. I’ve never seen them out of order in practice, but it’d be entirely in-character for them to suddenly change that sporadically and without warning, and now your entire vectordb may or may not be nondeterministically ruined.

For protocols, you might be worrying about the bytes and use a 1 2 4 or 8 byte len, or some complicated variable length integer like ASN.1 or something homegrown (but actually, with the slower networks, if you have a 2M msg, you'd split it into 64k that fit into your 16-bit length prefixed protocol and stream it), but for the parsed data, probably you'd do size_t or ssize_t, byte[], for portability. The standard parsing API would pass in (buf, buf_len) (or (pos, buf, buf_len), and the standard struct would be (name_len size_t , name Byte *) (where Byte was typedef to unsigned char, so you wouldn't pick up signed char by mistake).
Khrons, AMD and Intel have had 15 years to make something out of OpenCL that could rival CUDA.

Instead they managed 15 years of disappointment, in a standard stuck in C99, that adopted C++ and a polyglot bytecode too late to matter, never produced an ecosystem of IDE tooling and GPU libraries.

Naturally CUDA became the standard, when NVIDIA provided what the GPU community cared about.
Is this a hunch, or do you know of some data to back up your reservations?

Copilot+ PC’s, which all run models locally, have the best battery life of any portable PC devices, ever.

These devices have in turn taken a page out of Apple Silicon’s playbook. Apple has the benefit of deep hardware and software integration that no one else has, and is obsessive about battery life.

It is reasonable to think that battery life will not be impacted much.
Actually, I use Kotlin in a browser using Kotlin multi platform. Things are changing rapidly and you can do a lot without any Java libraries whatsoever at this point. The multiplatform ecosystem is growing very rapidly now.

Also, you might want to read up on how Amazon, Google, Facebook and other companies are moving to Kotlin internally at scale for server side use. They've been pretty vocal about that. A lot of Java shops are of course a bit glacial in their adoption of new technology. That's why I refer to it as the new Cobol. That has less to do with the language and more to do that this kind of companies simply don't change very easily. You'll find some actual Cobol lurking in a lot of these companies as well probably.

Kotlin was originally developed to be a drop in replacement for Java in any Java project. Android developers embraced it in a hurry because they were stuck with a relatively old and crappy version of Java because of the whole Oracle law suit with Google. Google made that official shortly after Kotlin 1.0 released acknowledging that many Android developers were voting with their feet at that point already. They also just embraced Kotlin multi platform at Google IO a few months ago.

On the server side, people have been using Kotlin for about as long. But things move more slowly there. Spring launched their Kotlin support around Spring Boot 2.0. That's six years ago already. It worked fine before that but that's the moment they started shipping lots of out of the box Kotlin support. Frankly, if you are using Spring and not using Kotlin, you're missing out big time. Lots of companies of course insist on doing things the verbose and hard way with Java.

I would bet you that Postgres insert and query performance is better overall if all names in your table are, say, up to 10KB long than if you have a bunch of bots inserting 20MB-long "names". And 10GB long strings are just not supported by Postgres, at least with default settings.

And the point of adding limitations on length is that you shouldn't even accept the HTTP request if it passes some size, as it will severely degrade performance if you allow someone to upload a 10GB string, even if you separate it into a human review area.

Finally, if the legal requirements change and legal names can legitimately contain cryptographic material, than your system has to change. There is no point in designing a system that tries to work for any possible use case.
I don't want them to publish, I just want to create them before migration. Other registrar's had it for a while and Namecheap for sure still don't (maybe their new UI but they lost me years ago)
Yeah I think, after this snippet was written, cuda added __all_sync as an intrinsic. The divergent code before this was plain-ish cuda, and this snippet ensures they wait on the comparison vote before recurring.

So in the AMD version, the compiler correctly realized the synchronization was on the comparison, so adds the AMD version right before it. That seems like a straightforward transform here.

It'd be interesting to understand the comparison of what Nvidia primitives map vs what doesn't. The above is a fairly simple barrier. We avoided PTX as much as we could and wrote it as simply as we could, I'd expect most of our PTX to port for similar reasons. The story is a bit diff for libraries we call. E.g., cudf probably has little compute-tier ptx directly, but will call nvidia libs, and use weird IO bits like cufile / gpu direct storage.
Also customizability. Sure, you can fine-tune the cloud hosted models (to a certain degree of freedom), but it will probably be expensive, inefficient, difficult and unmaintainable.
Yes, IMHO a bit of a downgrade relative to Kotlin.

I might charitably and optimistically interpret the transfer to Squarespace as one of many short-sighted decisions that Google made that's unique to 2023, the period where Google had its greatest internal turmoil shortly after the layoffs. Every year before 2023 was better and Google will only get better from 2024 onwards.

Though personally, when I heard that Google is selling off Google Domains, I immediately transferred my domain elsewhere. Not necessarily because I hate any of the parties involved, but because a transfer at that time was fully within my control with fewer unknowns, unlike waiting for some bulk migration with no announced timeline.
Self-driving taxis.

I'm in one of Waymo's service areas, so instead of calling a Lyft or Uber, I can call a Waymo self-driving car when I need a ride somewhere. It's througly boring, which is great. It has its ins and outs, so I don't user it every time, but it's just normal for me to get in a car with no driver and have it take me places.
Stun can also leak local IP info. A couple of years back I managed to satisfy myself and a co-researcher you could use a reference to a stun/turn instance to reveal local IP bindings behind the NAT. It's in the enumerated service capability list (I don't know the proper name for this but it was something the web clients of the day proferred when taken to the URL in the right way)

What’d be really great is a codegen aspect. A non-negligible part of any data munching operation is “this input object has fields X, Y, Z and we need an output object with fields X, f(X), Y, f(Y,Z)”. This is something and LLM has a decent chance at being really quite good at.
Vulkan only matters on Android (from version 10 onwards) and GNU/Linux.

Also the XFS file system.
It gets more interesting if you optimise for time instead of cost. If it takes you 15 minutes to craft something using 80c of currency, but you can instead run maps and average 300c an hour, then you still might prefer paying 100c for the guaranteed outcome (buying it already made) than going for "average" cost of 80c and having to craft it yourself.

Do it again, but optimise for fun instead of time and we've come full-circle :)

> Sure, I can run some slow Llama3 models on my home network, but why bother when it is so cheap or free to run it on a cloud service?

Obvious answer: because it's not free, and it's not cheap.

If you're playing with a UI library, lets say, QT... would you:

a) install the community version and play with ($0)

b) buy a professional license to play with (3460 €/Year)

Which one do you pick?

Well, the same goes. It turns out, renting a server large enough to run big (useful, > 8B) models is actually quite expensive. The per-api-call costs of real models (like GPT4) adds up very quickly once you're doing non-trivial work.

If you're just messing around with the tech, why would you pay $$$$ just to piss around with it and see what you can do?

Why would you not use a free version running on your old PC / mac / whatever you have lying around?

> I used to be excited about running models locally

That's an easy position to be one once you've already done it and figured out, yes, I really want the pro plan to build my $StartUP App.

If you prefer to pay for an online service and you can afford it, absolutely go for it; but isn't this an enabler for a lot of people to play and explore the tech for $0?

Isn't having more people who understand this stuff and can make meaningful (non-hype) decisions about when and where to use it good?

Isn't it nice that if meta released some 400B llama 4 model, most people can play with it, not just the ones with the $7000 mac studio? ...and keep building the open source ecosystem?

Isn't that great?

I think it's great.

Even if you don't want to play, I do.

everything you need to know about modern programming - most languages are similar to C

so by learning one you can move on to learning the other, the difference is mainly in syntax.

If we talk about management, don’t look at the labor market, it won’t tell you whether this is relevant today, something else tomorrow. you must understand that if you choose one path, it may disappear in 3-4 years

it is important to choose in which area you will program, the programming language is a field of work, and not like German or French in real life

> how literally no company other than Apple is able to deliver decent battery life

Apple’s full vertical integration from chip on up gives them an advantage here. For example, the doubling of video playback battery life from iPhone 12 Pro Max to iPhone 13 Pro Max [1] probably came from a new low-power display plus a new video decoder in the A15 Bionic chip.

People are going to point out flaws or loopholes they know about that would be even easier, but they’re missing the point: it was not possible for someone genuinely in the process of launching a product to find out.

My side business was a small tool which was just a 3d printed case with an ESP32 I programmed w/ some small electronics and I sold it as is online. US + local government made sure there was zero friction even down to dealing with USPS shipping pickup issues. If I was still in Germany they would have shut me down and fined me personally for even trying.

Snow flake hyperscallers, with vouched interest in Android ecosystem, aren't the same as everyone else.

The Oracle excuse is bonkers, everything on Android depends on JVM, written in Java, and Maven Central libraries, written in Java.

If Oracle actually played a role they would have switched Android to Dart and Flutter.

Kotlin was adopted by some management folks on Android team that are Kotlin heads, and to this day most Android documentation samples use Java 8 as counterexamples to how Kotlin makes things better, completely dishonest.

Looking forward to see JetBrains shown off their ecosystem rewrite in Kotlin Native, showing the rest of the world how Java is so passé.

That doesn't seem totally reasonable. The battery life of an iphone is pretty great if you're not actually using it, but if you're using the device hard, it gets hot to the touch, along with the battery getting drained. playing resource intensive video games, maxing out the *PU won't stop and let the device sleep at all, and has a noticable hit on battery life. Where inference takes a lot of compute to perform, it's hard to imagine inference being totally free, battery-wise. It probably won't be as hard on the device as playing specific video games non-stop, but I get into phone conversations with ChatGPT as it is, so I can imagine that being a concern if you're already low on battery.
These new Snapdragon Elite X laptops compete on battery life. But I need to build for Linux/amd64 and I don't want to emulate so it's either Intel laptop or Apple Silicon laptop with Rosetta 2 for Linux.
> I don't think being too good is the reason it didn't beat git. I think Mercurial didn't beat git because it's only marginally better.

I don't really agree. Mercurial was missing some critical features that were left as an afterthought, like support for stashing. It takes some rose-tainted glasses to spin Mercurial as being an all-good,no-bad tool and Git the exact opposite.

Most marketing run their research and data gathering on the basis of how much the viewer "liked" the ad. But research shows that is not the most efficient way to create customers. Rather than liking, it's better to make an ad that's "resonant" with the viewer. In neuroscience terms, a resonant ad will pass the viewer's reticular activating system (RAS) which filters 99.9% of all stimulus. Thus, viewers can actually perceive your ad. Furthermore, a resonant ad will actually trigger the chemicals dopamine and oxytocin which have been shown to drive action. So yeah, maybe instead of creating simply good ads, we should make ads that speak to the viewer.

>How? Who pays for their stuff when most of the people are out of work.

The idea is that you sell your stuff to people who are employed in other industries/companies that haven't been so successful at automating all their employees out of a job.

At Samsung, for instance, the workers are not the main consumers: Samsung is a huge exporter, and most of their customers are outside of Korea. Even if all their current and former employees suddenly decided to stop buying Samsung products, it wouldn't even be noticeable in their balance sheet.

What you're describing is a situation where all the companies have managed to eliminate most of their workforces, which has never happened. If it comes even remotely close to that point, societies will be forced to change their economies somehow, perhaps with UBI.

Don't read that. That's one of the most horrible papers I know, a hodgepodge of mathematical well-known concepts thrown together with some vague ideas how they connect. The mathematical parts are explained better in any undergraduate book. I'm not sure why the author felt the need to expound on what a manifold is when that has been done better in hundreds of other texts - literally.

And it lacks a definite conclusion: They don't prove anything, don't make any particular experiment, but just loosely talk about how these ideas might be relevant to machine learning.

I'm surprised that such highly cited researcher have produced such a paper. I would be embarrassed to be on it - and I'm embarrassed on behalf of the ML community that they are citing it.
