> suddenly becomes "state of the art" because hardware have become powerful enough.

I'd rather say that we were capable of such a design for several decades, but only now the set of trade-offs currently in-place made this attractive. Single core performance was stifled in the last 2 decades by prioritizing horizontal scaling (more cores), thus the complexity / die area of each individual core became a concern. I imagine if this trend did not take place for some reason, and the CPU designers primarily pursued single core performance, we'd see implementation much sooner.

Regarding the Z-buffer, I kind of get that this would appear as a side note, it's a simple concept. Perhaps even better example is ray tracing - the concept is even quite obvious to people without 3D graphics background, but it was just impractical (for real-time rendering) in terms of performance until recently. What I find interesting is that we haven't found a simpler approach to approximate true to life rendering and need to fallback on this old, sort of naive (and expensive) solution.
Yes, experienced devs can have near zero online presence. The job market for experienced versus new grad is very different (for both employer and candidate.)

Naturally if you are experienced then you're being considered based on that experience. Be prepared to sell that, to be able to explain it, and why it's important. You might mention (subtly) that while others were doing personal things, and posting on LinkedIn, you were, you know, actually working. Ultimately your work experience matters more than your personal github.

I would add that LinkedIn is a good way to see job postings etc, so not a site to ignore from that point of view if you are searching.
Textualist/originalist a nit in the current context; neither are likely to overturn the case in question. Thanks for the clarification though.
Certainly, if a company’s profits are the size of a small country’s GDP, I find that disturbing regardless of the value they’re delivering. Value is the experience and consumer excess, profits are fiat. Could that same value be delivered with compressed profits leading to greater consumer excess? I believe so. Not all profits are earned, some are inherent once an org achieves a certain maturity or industry position. Visa and Mastercard skimming a non insignificant amount off of US GDP, for example. Is that value?

They can easily make up lots of reasons that will count as reasonable suspicion or probably cause.
Yeah these fees are really weird, and very suspiciously hidden.
That's hilarious to see Apply trying to punish Europeans for standing up for their rights.

Good luck with that, we don't care for your "intelligence".
There are very few applications that are actually memory bandwidth bound but aren't more suited to a GPU than a CPU.

The reason people have been looking at Apple Silicon for LLMs in particular is that even though they are more suited to GPUs, they also require a lot of VRAM and NVIDIA charges an extortionate amount of money for GPUs with a lot of VRAM.

What AMD should really do if they want to steal NVIDIA's thunder is to sell consumer GPUs with 64-128GB of VRAM.
It's even worse than that. Even if these did work, the goal isn't just to make it harder.. These will act as a chilling effect on viewing, the first time there is a security risk, or it become convenient, the information will be out there. Or at least the risk and fear of such.
I've had the hardest time getting mypy to work well in vscode. Trying pyright with neovim now, curious how it goes.
That's what my first sentence was about. Being uncompromising only really works when working alone (or in a small team of like-minded people), or when there is someone a the top to control everything, be it a BDFL or someone like Steve Jobs running Apple.

In a large open community full of volunteers with no central leader with any real authority, it's going to be a bit of a mess without compromise. Various uncompromising projects might be very good, but the larger sum of all the parts won't fit together as nicely as anyone might want.
constexpr was originally intended for "things that can be computed at compile time". But for something to be computable at compile-time, it would have to also be immutable.

It’s actually the native integrations that do this. Android Auto and CarPlay basically act as a display for your phone and little data leaves your device. Connect via Bluetooth to many vehicles and that data syncs to the car’s infotainment.
oh my God please stop inovating and making jobs think of the externalities!!!
Yeah, call me snobby or OCD but I lost confidence in the authors and reviewers when I saw that slipped through.

Then I started wondering if this is going to become the new anti-AI marker. AI-written papers use "delves", "underscores" and "showcasing" too much. Avoid those words, throw in some errors and readers will think your paper was written by humans.
Possibly they wanted it to stop near their destination somewhere and let them out, but instead it kept going. Therefore, they need to get out at the next place it happened to stop (which in this case was a stop light).

I have no experience with Waymo though, so I have no idea if this is the case, or if the car was repositioning to find a better place to let the rider out, or something else entirely.
Currently using Paddle, and would love to switch to Stripe. I'm concerned about the additional hidden fees mentioned elsewhere in this thread, as well as lack of B2B invoicing features. Though Paddle's invoicing features are pretty barebones (like you can't easily send someone an estimate/pricing before a purchase, only an invoice after one.)
The hard part about reality is the opposite is also true. Cancer patients have gatekept access to cutting edge drugs, etc.

I believe your worldview is correct and also incomplete. It’s really fucking hard to come up with general rules that cannot be gamed.

I was skeptical, but they've been submitting to HN for over a month, ew.
Right, so it's not even like a strip search, it's still much worse.
As for authors - perhaps english is their second language? Regular spellcheckers don’t check grammar well enough.
Originalism would also have trouble because phones didn't exist when the Frames wrote or the 18th Century public read the Constitution.

Originalism is funny, by the way. By its tenets, if you don't like what the Constitution says, you can pass an Amendment with the exact same words as the Constitution but those words would have new, different meaning.
It will be interesting to see the SMT performance, I am expecting this would provide benefits and be further refined in future generation. With Zen5c we get 192 Core or 384vCPU. We should be getting 256 Core with Zen 6c next year. Which means on a Dual Socket 1U Server, that is a potential of 512 Core with 1024 vCPU.

Whatever Web App Scaling issues we had in 2014 could now fit into a single server, assuming we somehow manage to cool the thing. Even at 1 RPS per vCPU that is 1000 RPS, excluding cache hit. Even on HN front-page dont hit the server at 1000 Page View per second.
It was in consideration of how slow our FTS at the time was over large amount of documents and the window we wanted to keep response times in and you're correct, we had custom embeddings and we had a reasonably high confidence.

So vector search would reduce the space to like 10k documents and then we'd take the document ids and FTS acted as the final authority on the ranking.
Looks cool, but what does this do that the standard Windows Recovery Environment Partition doesnt do?

Maybe situations where the standard recovery env is borked?

>> You get to choose what games to play in life, and how to play them

Absolutely. But you don't get to change the rules of the game you choose.

You can absolutely have your own rules to your own game. But naturally you can't expect others to play by those rules unless they want to.

My expectation is that I'm happy to be flexible with the rules, but I've figured out what game I want to play. I'd make a terrible employee so I chose the "own business" game. I'm not into excessive control so I chose the "hire good people" game.

My recommendation is to figure out the big things, and not sweat the small stuff. Be honest, but not overly picky.
That's pretty much what any (decent) programmer does today as well. You first search your code base to see if the application already does something like it, if not, whether there is a published library. Where this starts to fail is the idea that connecting those already written peaces together is easy.
Ruby has a lot going for it, but as other commenters point out, the metaprogramming nightmares of the language have held it back 10-30 years behind modern language ecosystems, depending on the feature you're looking at. Celebrating "jump to source definition" (sometimes working) for such a mature language is a symptom of the nature of the language. Sometimes insane dynamic freedom is really useful, but it comes with heavy drawbacks.
The whole AI trend is in part due to things that are now possible on GPU supercomputers with gigabytes of RAM backed by petabytes of data and at the top speed of GPUs. Some of the algorithms date back to before the ai winter and it's just that we can now do the same thing with a ton more data and faster.
Android has something similar - in the power menu [1] there's a "Lockdown" button which will lock your phone, disable biometrics, and disable showing notifications until you unlock with password.

Depending on your version and flavour of Android you may need to enable this "Show Lockdown Option" in your settings.

[1] Opening this varies - my pixel is power + vol up, some phones are hold power, etc.

If the government broke the social contract so deeply to me, I can only imagine how I would react. You are truly a sovereign citizen now. The government has no legitimate authority over you anymore.

For gaming, it's an overkill (esp. given the price), it would be useful only for LLM enthusiasts which isn't that big of a market.

Awesome. Can we have stable Linux clients now thanks.
Nothing that I've noticed. I actually have never run vanilla Tailscale without Headscale so I'm not sure.

I think auto TLS requires some extra config, and DNS rules. I don't use it so I'm not sure.
Sorry, but that's insane. You can't legitmizime criminalizing and imprisoning someone for the the crime of not having a time machine. You can legitimize the government making amends for its mistakes.
what are you talking about bro the US has tons of farming regulation haha
> Who is benefiting from Apple’s profits being the size of a small country’s GDP? Not most people, therefore, why would this be optimized for?

Off the top of my head, probably the millions of people who have a pension through one of Apple’s institutional investors like CalPERS. The effects of Apple’s profitability goes far and wide.

You probably misinterpreted the above: 25% of the participants in IMO, who are generally high school students. Never claimed that 25% of all high schoolers would do better.

Now, you may say how time is not a useful dimension here, but really, this is where we are seeing a lot of these advances come from: general researchers today do get access to huge compute capability, allowing them to quickly iterate on different ideas. In a sense, they can be less smart about their use of resources and simply try things out: this does drive the innovation (compared to waiting for their turn on a supercomputer nearby).

And finally, time is essential even for humans: given a couple hundred years, they will find the proof for Fermat's last theorem, but they might not do it in 4.5h. Since we are comparing AI capabilities to humans in the article, it's very possible that increased compute will never allow AI to find novel proofs we have not come up with either. That's where the AI bit comes in: we know that brute searching through the entire possible space of proofs is still too expensive for our compute capabilities, so we need AI to emulate our "intuition" when looking for the direction to narrow down the search.

So there are really two reasons time matters: 1. getting enough of compute might still be far away (heck, prime factorization and elliptic curves are still the basis of the most of world cryptography for that reason) and 2. maybe it's not even enough to increase compute capability to make huge jumps in problem solving capabilities (iow, maybe we are reaching maximum of where the approach can take us).
I still can't understand how is this possible given that at least in the U.S., GDP is still, on average, growing at a healthy rate. How can the next generation be poorer than the previous one if real per capita GDP increased by about 75% in 35 years, which is about duration of a generation? Where did the difference go? Just eaten up by 1% so the median ended up poorer? Then we have inequality problem, not generational problem. Inequality problem just needs better propaganda to be mitigated.
How does Stripe Tax compare with MoR?

I would love to use only Stripe, but MoR provides for me more than calculating how much tax I need to report per country. It takes a couple of days per month to prepare documents for my country's fiscal authority to report VAT and other taxes from customers inside and outside the EU. This is because in case of MoR I only have a couple of invoices per month but from a single company (the MoR) that is from one country. So there is little reporting done.
You didn't answer the first question about whether you think consumers or Apple have the larger share.
classic, uh, actually it's a good thing we don't have any tech scene bringing jobs and innovation!!
These numbers are always trotted out like these people have a material majority investment in the equities market (“won’t someone think of the teacher pension”), when per the Federal Reserve, the top 10% of Americans by wealth hold 93% of US equities.

This doesn’t entirely discount that CalPERS holds almost 40M shares (~$8.7B) of Apple (its top holding), just that them doing so is not reason enough to be more judicious about governing corporate profits. Still profits, but less. Those profits have to come from somewhere.

(CalPERS has $502.9B AUM ending June 2024, making APPL ~1.72% of their total assets)

> Sorbet may fix things

Sorbet is very slow for large codebases. I keep checking it from time to time, but the biggest service I'm dealing with just fails to run through the initialisation. And that's ignoring the idea that someone will have to clean up the result. Not holding my breath for it to be functional in LSP situations.

i don't think an english-derived scripting language would be a bad thing (well, I wouldn't, since I created https://hyperscript.org, now would i?) if the tooling was good, I don't see a huge difference between someone dragging and dropping a for loop and an if statement and just typing

IPv6 + transport mode IPsec + opportunistic encryption with TOFU or other topologies of trust (including WoT, DNSSEC and PKI). All that is standard, most of it is available and only requires configuration (and, ideally, being turned on by default).

There is very little use for companies like Tailscale in this setup, it’s scalable and works.
Possibly stupid question, in general: why don't these papers have any dates? how do I know when it was published and whether it is up-to-date / still relevant?

Perfectly fine, I actually prefer it in almost every way.

The only issue I agree is truly serious is the latest release draining battery on iOS with or without background activity disabled. That’s a real bad bug to introduce and I’m surprised it hasn’t been fixed yet.
Maybe this works well for anyone outside EU or maybe it is country specific, but in my country I have to report the invoices and if they are from inside EU or outside EU.

In case of invoices from EU as I am living in an EU country and the business is registered in an EU country I have to take into account collecting or not VAT and what percentage of VAT needs to be collected. There is OSS VAT and some other facilities, but all this takes days per month from my time to handle. And I prefer to spend those days coding something.

Moreso if they are inside EU there is a mechanism to cross-check if the other side reported the invoice (either sent or received) so to be compliant if you sell to multiple countries you have to report invoices.

The same goes for selling to US specially in case of ebooks - there are treaties in place that define royalty percent when the final customer is an US citizen.

So maybe if you are small and have the business registered in EU, the fiscal authorities will not come for you, but if they come the penalty is big enough to get me out of business. Thus I use MoR where for the income I get one or two invoices per month from LS and that is the only thing to report. Better as they are registered in US the reporting is simpler :)

Based on the reports of corruption and data loss from actual users, I don’t think this claim is true at all.
This is where prompting and context is key - you need to keep the scope of the review limited and well-defined. And ideally, you want to validate the review with another LLM before passing it to the dev.

Still won't be perfect, but you'll definitely get to a point where it's a net positive overall - especially with frontier models.
All of the main algorithms do (multi-layer perceptrons and stochastic gradient descent are from the 50s and 60s!). Basically the only thing that changed is we decided to multiply some of the outputs of the multi-layer perceptrons by each other and softmax it (attention) before passing them back into more layers. Almost all of the other stuff is just gravy to make it converge faster (and run faster on modern hardware).
Related question: what's the best way to digitize a collection of physical photos for personal use?

I ran into this problem recently for a family reunion where we wanted a slideshow of photos that were decades old. The best solution was to manually scan them using Google Photoscan which involves taking a 5 pictures of each photo with a phone and letting the app remove reflection, perform skew correction, crop, etc. This resulted in better photos than just using the phone's default camera software, but it still took 10+ seconds for each photo.

Does anyone have an recommendation for at home photoscanners that would allow me to drop a stack of photos into it and have it automatically scan them? I found various devices on Amazon that target this use case but they all have drawbacks like low resolution or excessive manual work. Has anyone done this with their family's old photos?

> But I have always had (even when green) an attitude about interviews. I'm not looking at them as the company evaluating me, I'm looking at them as me evaluating the company.

Well said. Some companies' first ever response is a HackerRank link. without even a call. Those are effectively over immediately. That's an extreme case but one can find many red flags about a company during the interview process.

Take home exams are great because they're usually well thought, some are even paid (fixed price and non-timed. If they're strictly timed run away).

HackerRank on the other hand indicates high employee turnover, only fresh graduates, and the code is garbage.

FAANG interviews which require 6 month practice beforehand indicate mass layoffs coming soon.

Of-course the best are the ones where you have a conversation with a manager and they like you and hire you, but those are very rare.

That's basically my 10+ year experience in general. I'm not even mentioning the dirty practices such as contacting your previous employer behind your back, etc. There are lots of other signs.
