The mathematical structure is called a hyper graph, a graph where nodes and edges come from the same set. Sounds weird at first but think about it like little sentences of the form subject predicate object. The word google can be all three places, as in: Google is a company, I googled his name or I work at Google. Here Google and its conjugations is an socio-economic object, but the set can also be the different grades within a geometric algebra where the different kind of reflections can be both operator and operand.
The hard part isn't getting the formalisation right sometimes, it's getting it right reliably (and unlike mistakes in the formal part, there's no way for the system to check itself in that part).

IDK, even for translation between languages outside of mathematics, missing small qualifiers that change the whole meaning of the sentence is a worrying failure mode I've seen, and with mathematical problems there are a lot more cases like that.

This is like saying 2008 crash was because of the people defaulted on their mortgages, not because of the banks getting greedy and pushing bad loans that they knew is not payable. Same stuff happened with German banks and Greece. One difference is that in this case the German banks sent their political muscle (the Troika) put a bullet in the knee-cap to extract the loan with interest. Now people need to work for 6 days a week. What a world.

I used to use Wireguard. It connects a peer to a peer, but stops there. I have since replaced it with Tailscale. It goes much beyond Wireguard, and connects everything to everything. A lot of my networking problems went away. After using Taildrop for several months, I feel the post is right about it. It’s a frictionless one click peer to peer file transfer tool that is very useful. It should have been built into the internet.

The idea of entirely decentralized internet is wishful thinking. You always need servers. Even with IP6, you have to run a STUN or DDNS server, since ip addresses change. Do you want to run them at home? I don’t.

I do think Tailscale is on path to different networking.
There are plenty of cryptocurrencies that do not suffer from insane energy use, slow transactions, or lack of oversight… and governments have not historically been very good about crashing currency valuations, if not on a whim than with a catastrophic plan. There are stablecoins that are verifiably and transparently backed, which is more than I can say for any extant government issued currency.

But sure, there are lousy performers in the space, just as the banking system is a poor performer in energy use and speed for many kinds of transactions.

For example, If you stack up the energy use of financial institutions, many SOTA cryptocurrency systems compare extremely favourably on a per transaction basis.

I think people easily forget that the space is not at all homogeneous, and there are vast differences between different blockchains and tokenisation systems.

Lumping them all together is like saying that all government backed currencies are total crap just because so many currencies have seen catastrophic inflation and counterfeiting in the last century.

Many countries debt backed currency projects are actually fairly stable and well managed.
Constructors are just functions at the end of the day and they can do anything. Not really practical to decide when to invoke a constructor for the author in a language with semantics as complicated as C++. The convention there is to trust the author to be explicit with exactly where they want to point the gun and not try to move it from the author’s feet.

It’s definitely true. It won’t be optimal or fast for end users, but it’s entirely doable.

One of the main benefits of a CDN is that it brings the data closer to the users, reducing network latency. Obviously a single server can’t be close to every user globally!

In practice one would always use a CDN for a site like WikiPedia but the point is that it isn’t necessary to handle the traffic.

A single two-socket EPYC server can put out something like 400 Gbps of traffic, which is far more than all but the biggest sites.
I’m sorry, no. 75K in London is not “doing well“. Double that - maybe, though I’d never accept that personally. I love London but I would not move there to do what I do for less than 300k. And even then I don’t think I’d be able to say I’m “doing well”. Several people I know personally have left Nvidia this year - retired - in their 40s, with high 7 digit numbers in their bank accounts. They are “doing well”.
This is great, I don't have a concrete use-case right now but can definitely see myself returning to this in the future. One thing that would be handy is having a way to either accept a ffmpeg cli command, or convert from a cli command to the typescript syntax. My experience with ffmpeg if you often do a lot of copying and pasting of commands from documentation or random guides, it'd save a bit of time if you didn't need to transcribe the commands into streampot's syntax.

Whisper can run on iOS; would you consider that good enough?

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1672085276
Short answer: I don't know.

Cruft can be good. If you give everyone a chance to speak on any issue, it's extremely slow, but also the most egalitarian. When societies move too fast, large groups of people are invariably marginalized.

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" etc.

I do think institutions, while extremely flawed, are currently the best versions of themselves. Very difficult to measure, of course. Rome was the best version of itself until the second it began to collapse.

I'm not a history buff, but believe deeply that it's a predictor of the future. Are there historical examples you can think of where the institutions were better than they are today?

I can only imagine what would have happened if this system was on the greater internet lol.

Fortunately it didn’t even speak TCP/IP so no real worries there .
Most GPUs do not use SMT, but the predecessor of SMT, fine-grained multi-threading. In every clock cycle the instruction that is initiated is selected from the many threads that are available, depending on which of them need resources that are not busy. Most GPUs do not initiate multiple instructions per clock cycle (even if multiple instructions may proceed concurrently after initiation) or if they initiate multiple instructions per clock cycle those may have to belong to distinct classes of instructions, which use distinct execution resources, for example scalar instructions and vector instructions.

SMT, i.e. simultaneous multi-threading, means that in every clock cycle many instructions are simultaneously initiated from all threads and then those instructions compete for the multiple execution units of a superscalar CPU, in order to keep busy as many of those execution units as possible. For each of the concurrent execution units, e.g. for each of the 6 integer adders available in the latest CPUs, a decision is made separately from the others about which instruction to be executed from the queues that hold instructions belonging to all simultaneous threads.

> the world prefers C. Five out of ten TIOBE's most popular languages have C-like syntax.

I don't know which five you're classifying that way, but even for languages that started off C-like the trend is in the direction of less C-like. Even for C++ the big popular changes recently have been things like auto; similarly for Java, and C# always had a more lightweight syntax for expressing values. And certainly JavaScript has an object literal syntax good enough that people use it separately. Python is admittedly weirdly bad for writing values in; I wonder if that's why Scons has more or less failed.
Maybe I’m not typical, but if I get constant messages from a business I get annoyed and stop doing business with them, or never start. If it’s an automated message without a real person behind it, that’s even worse. 1 or 2 of those and I’m done, and I’ll tell everyone I know they spam every number they get.

There is no faster way to erode trust and burn a bridge with me than sending me unsolicited automated messages, emails, or letters.

I signed up for a newsletter once, and after a few of them went unread, I got an email that said they noticed I wasn’t reading, so they unsubscribed me, and said if I wanted to keep getting them, I could sign back up when ready, and no further messages would be sent. I respected the hell out of that move. That’s a person/company I want to do business with, because they respected me, my time, and my inbox. They didn’t just say it, they showed it with their actions. This is in contrast to nearly every other business that sends me their newsletter even when I explicitly uncheck the box. Companies that do this (most of them) make me want to revert to buying everything at brick and mortar stores using cash.

If the big end goal for AI is automating marketing and sales messages… I’d be happy to burn it all to the ground right now. I don’t get offended by much, but I find this concept offensive as a consumer.
I'll add one more piece of ham lore to this thread. The gigantic electronic component distributor DigiKey got its start when the founder designed and marketed a Morse code key to the ham radio audience. DigiKey was originally a mail-order business selling to hams.

The point is that the ham radio hobby is very intertwined with the electrical engineering profession. It's very technical ... not just a bunch of guys talking to each other over the radio (although it's that too).
I beg to differ. The most useful kind of zoom zooms the entire UI and this is straightforward to do on Windows and ChromeOS in increments of 25%. It is possible in Gnome, too, (again in increements of 25%, at Settings > Displays > Scale), but it is not straightforward because before you can do it, you have to say, `gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"` once per install of the OS.

None of them exhibit the wonky behavior of zooming a web page described above.

SIMD within a register
I have a feeling that even the inventor of obsidian, who preferred and demonstrated simplicity with his system, will be surprised in these kinds of articles. yeah; it is up to the author to use as they wish as long as it serves them.
From the article:

> Some ISPs provide a combined router/modem. It can be beneficial for security to purchase a separate router and set your ISP router/modem into modem-only mode. This way, even when your ISP-provided router is no longer getting updates, you can still get security updates and patches. It also means any problems that affect your modem won't affect your router and vice versa.

It's probably also worth highlighting that most ISP router/modems have a backdoor to allow support staff at the ISP to change arbitrary settings, view which devices are on your network, and so on. A dedicated router (particularly one that uses an old-fashioned 192.168.1.1 HTTP admin screen rather than an app) eliminates that attack vector.
Oh, and to add another design hint. Closely related to "always fuse off cells or packs as close to the batteries as possible" - make sure that you cover bus bars, terminals, wire solders and the likes wherever possible. The classic in small form factor is Kapton tape or heat shrink tubing, for anything larger go for voltage-rated plexiglass.

And for heavens sake if you're in small form factor and you got a battery... please just don't go and solder the ruddy wires onto the PCB directly. Use any cheap-ass connector you like.

Many a thing and occasionally even a life got destroyed by someone accidentally dropping a screw or a tool onto a live busbar. A wrench shorting out even a "plain" 230V circuit but right at the exit poles of a megawatt scale transformer makes for quite the firework.

Damn that’s a horrifying vision. Code by a bot that has no consistency in library preferences or the absence thereof. Peek under the hood and it’s made dozens and dozens of helper libraries that all do the same thing and get used one time. All with enormous volumes of mostly working tests.
Nah. That is due to US bombing Nordstream pipelines and Germany having no plan-B on emergy dependency.

The real problem is Germany got a very comfortable market within EU by bullying all the Southern Europe into submission (even France!) and killing their production. This got German companies complacent. Their auto industry is dying a slow death and all they do is more protectionist regulations. Stuff like dieselgate is a direct result of this.

Let's say your workload consists solely in traversing a single linked list. This list fits perfectly in L1.

As an L1 load takes 4 cycles and you can't start the next load untill you completed the previous one, the CPU will stall doing nothing 3/4th of cycles. A 4-way SMT could in principle make use of all the wasted cycles.

Of course no load is even close to purely traversing a linked list, but a lot of non-hpc real world load do spend a lot of time in latency limited sections that can benefit from SMT, so it is not just cache misses.

No, the signature of push_back accepts an object reference, while the signature of emplace_back accepts _arguments to forward to the element type’s constructor_. That means that pushback expects you to construct the object, while emplaceback wants to construct the object internally. It’s just that there’s usually a move constructor that accepts an object rvalue reference, so that case looks like it resembles the pushback API, if that makes sense....

* Models we run on our own infra (the ones with boot times) always run at whatever quantization the repo uses — typically unquantized, although if you paste in a link to a 4-bit AWQ repo of course that's what we'll run.

* For always-on proxied models, we're dependent on the inference provider. Typically we use Together AI, but for Llama 3.1 we found some show-stopping context length related bugs that caused us to switch to Fireworks.

Since we proxy 405B to Fireworks, that one runs at FP8 (that's what Fireworks uses). This may change in the future and in general we prefer to match the underlying repo quantization when possible; proxying is a bit of a hack in order to keep more models warmed up and reduce boot times (and to run 405B for now, although we're working on getting larger clusters and supporting distributed multi-node inference). As we grow, hopefully we'll be able to reduce our dependency on third party proxies.

I'm also curious to try running models on AMD, since that would allow for much larger single-node models — for example, an MI300X has 192GB per card, so 8x of those would run 405B at fp16. Obviously there are some support issues with AMD so TBD how well it'll work but it's an interesting option.
For some reason I thought this was about simulating the fabric in a physical sense. Having watched the videos from the supplemental material (downloadable from the SIGGRAPH paper page) it appears to be about "just" rendering. The fabric does look nice though for some reason they chose very shiny fabrics for their video.

>Yep, people also still like to say minimum wage increases will cause inflation despite things inflating just fine without it.

This is a non-sequitur. The claim that raising the minimum wage will cause inflation does not imply not raising the minimum wage would result in no inflation. There are multiple contributors to inflation, just because you get rid of wage pressures doesn't mean the other factors disappear.

Mine is a golang executable that runs directly on my OpenWRT-based router on a 30 minute cron job. The beauty of running it on my router directly is that I can simply query the `eth0` interface for my public ip address - no need for a `curl` to determine my public IP.
