I'm unsure if this is a meta joke or a great bit of irony.

> Anybody working on this?

If I understand your question accurately, yes. A more common example is people will ask GPT to answer via python code and then convert the python code into something else. But there are other people doing things more direct and through other methods. There are also people doing things like generating many answers, then performing search over those solutions (with or without GPT).

But regardless of, I think you should take care in calling out the "and then a miracle occurs"[0]. While the critique is well deserved, I think the context is dubious. It implies the same magic step is not necessary for LLMs. There's still a gap from where we are and getting to actual intelligence. LLMs are certainly impressive and have done a lot (something I think Gary ignores) but how to get to intelligence is still unknown and thus a missing middle step that "requires a miracle".

I don't think there is an issue in people pursuing neurosymbolics. In fact I would encourage it. Just as I'd encourage pursuing LLMs, category theory approaches, and others. The thing I would discourage is putting all our eggs in one basket when we recognize there is a missing step that we don't yet know how to solve. Allocate more resources to what's made the most improvements so far, but also not at the cost of recognizing limitations/criticisms. All technologies have limits and can be improved. It's the naive that reject critiques and the naive that are quick to dismiss. That's not science, that's politics.

So how did this kernel level driver get through WHQL verification? The Static Driver Verifier should have caught this.[1] Do some security vendors get to bypass that? Microsoft is very quiet about that.

That's the sort of thing a negligence lawyer focuses on. Partner at Brown Rudrick: "The most likely legal theory will be one of negligence. [Congress] will drag the guy over the coals, they'll maybe implicate him and his company and put in place a negligence action. There'll maybe be a couple of plaintiffs lawyers who dig up some exceptional theory on negligence, and get some class action lawsuits going. Again, we still don't know all the facts in this case, and there are other dimensions which have not yet been fully explored, including how CrowdStrike had access to kernel level updates on the Microsoft operating system? How come Microsoft didn't have any control over these updates being pushed on their kernel?"

The first two class actions are already starting.

That incident list is damning. Is senior leadership asleep at the wheel, or how can this many incidents possibly happen every 30 days for months on end? If leadership really cared, they'd make sure post-mortems and other best practices are in place to reduce the frequency.

Unfortunately, the executive disconnect isn't new. It's actually uncommon that they care about the reality for end users and customers (which is antithical to my entire ethos, hence why I get paid the medium bucks). Why bother waking up and going to work everyday unless you are contributing in some way to sustaining a better future for everyone? It's actually great for marketing and it's already going to be a tough 100+ years from today for our children, even with our collective care.

To the contrary, this might be a good enough generation to hang your hat on for multiple reasons:

- TSMC is fickle. 5nm was a one-customer node for a few years, and Blackwell necessitated a large investment to get Nvidia on the latest TSMC tech. Die shrinks are getting expensive and less-certain; buying now at least guarantees you good software support on top-class hardware.

- The geopolitical situation threatening Taiwan is dire enough to force the hand of anyone that wants to guarantee GPU availability. Buying GPUs now when they're highly-available is a hedged-bet against a worse GPU shortage than ever seen before in the face of unprecedented territorial aggression.

- ...it's Nvidia. If the past is anything to go off of, these GPUs will get software support for a decade and be worth a pretty penny on the resale market. Worst case scenario, AI is outlawed by the next president and Meta pivots to Bitcoin mining or something. Hell, if they outlaw AI fast enough they could probably sell their Nvidia hardware at a profit.

For what it’s worth, with IDNs you’re still going to do a kind of case folding using stringprep before doing the query, and that isn’t really better than the table GP linked. ASCII-only case-insensitive matching is indeed a thing, but it’s usually mutually exclusive with (non-programmer) user-entered data.

Seems like macrolones have been in the literature for over a decade. I wonder why there hasn't been any progress in commercializing them. Hospitals could really use these.

Is it that these are predicted mechanisms of action, but that a working structure with high efficacy hasn't been elucidated?
> on the Xbox Series X we found the same test marginally faster when we scheduled work for SMT too.

This makes sense, the Series X has GDDR RAM, and so has substantially worse latency than DDR/LPDDR. SMT can help cover that latency, and the higher GDDR bandwidth mitigates the higher memory bandwidth needed to feed both threads.

> Many note-taking apps today single-paged have high-think-threshold (windows notepad/apple notes have very low-think-threshold), you have to think before you write in them, so not a good option for quick ideas.

It's good that you are identifying competitors / alternative solutions; but "thinking before writing in them" is not a pain i think most users would connect with, nor is your platform in any way changing this dynamic of interaction. So it feels like a reach.

The UI looks good, but there are some UX frustrations. to me this overall does too much - there are too many things. It's good they are tucked away in menus but it is overthought to the point of being overwhelming. But...could possibly be addressed via different progressive disclosure.

I can see how/why you might use it. but for me it is not the right "it". It's also not "for devs" in the way you maybe want it to be as a platform. That all but kills it for me. I don't think that as a premise has a market.

Also, the split panel as a design decision feels constraining. Who are you to tell me how to use your software? And with them being the same objects it just feels redundant or like I'm expected to type with the left and right hands separately. But with a different start state and maybe using two different panels you could create more 'ah-ha".

I would lean into making this like a jsfiddle where it's low friction to generate things and share it with others. That can be a great starting point, and help give direction to the product.
This helps explain the origin of the phrase "pay the piper".

The RPi ecosystem is more or less only valuable for the HATs, the form factor, and accessories/code that works with it out of the box.

>If I wasn't generally opposed to an ever-growing scope of federal powers, I'd probably support an effective ban or extremely high bar on new additives. If food companies aren't willing to test it they shouldn't bother trying to sell it.

I think you are underestimating the cost of testing a new additive. It's also the case that the risk on additives is not nearly as high as with a drug, which paradoxically both makes the testing less important and also vastly more expensive (since the effect size is smaller). Something like xylitol for instance seems completely safe and we didn't have a huge obvious reason for thinking it was likely to be problematic. In fact previous studies were unable to pick up on the signal of increased stroke risk because they were confounded by the fact that sugar free consumers were vastly more likely to have those anyway.

As an additional point I'll just note that regulating this stuff would then have to deal with the fact that many things (like red meat) are already associated with known health risks. Putting principles aside, even if you want to only ban "additives", you'll start running into issues like we see with nitrates/nitrites, where organic manufacturers add celery juice (extremely high in nitrates), to avoid the label of added nitrates.

No it won't. "AI" is LLMs, and rearranging our words in different ways isn't going to elucidate anything we can't observe already. It won't save us by inventing statistically similar things to what we have already. It won't construct viruses that aren't directly assisted by human intervention. It is text.

People have bitten so hard into Sam Altman's apple that it's embarrassing. Really? It's a messianic all-knowing text generator that can't make my bed or invent a new type of sandwich, therefore it's going to help terrorists build super-viruses? Shut up already.

I think if I understand the systems right Windows can roll back a bad driver update but the CS update wasn’t an update to the driver but instead updated a configuration file which CS updated outside of Windows Update. So from the Windows Update perspective the system started failing to boot with no changes to the system. Again though I don’t know if I totally understand what CS did and what capabilities Windows Update has.

It got there because a user or administrator approved and installed it. It didn't just appear there, Microsoft didn't install it there. The user ran it.

> It implies the same magic step is not necessary for LLMs.

LLMs can at least take in an informal problem statement and do something semi-useful with it. This is progress.

Some other internal representations are needed, especially for dealing with the real world. Pictures? Animations? Animation storyboards? Graphs? Programs? All of the above? Ten years ago it would have been a fantasy to consider pictures and animations as intermediate representations in an AI system. Not any more.

Automated storyboard generation is already a thing.

Also idk kinda tangent but you brought it up. I don't feel like my junior devs make easily found algorithmic mistakes like that. They're more likely to misjudge the scope of the problem or not be aware of a technical consideration or known solution. For that kind of work I'd rather... mentor a junior dev through it so they have the experience.

Actually, Rust would also really like an `emplace_back`, because it does have the issue that `.push_back(Widget::new(foo, bar, baz))` can end up creating a Widget local in the caller and then moving it into the Vec allocation. It doesn't happen as much with optimizations enabled, but it does happen in debug builds.

You might say "Big deal, it's just a tiny loss of performance to create a value and then copy it into its final place. Unlike C++ this is guaranteed to only do a copy of bytes, no complex code like a copy ctor. Who cares, especially if it's only noticeable in debug builds?" But it's not just a problem of performance. If it's `Box::new([0_u8; 10 * 1024 * 1024])`, then that 10 MiB array created in the caller's stack can end up blowing the caller's stack.

Rust did actually try to add emplace style APIs and a dedicated operator. It would've looked like `vec.place_back() <- Widget::new();` and it would've guaranteed that the generated code did not create a copy in the caller frame. It was never stabilized and instead eventually removed, because it was still not reliable enough to provide that guarantee after all.

No, not really. When you say "alternatives" you really mean "cool tech demos you can show investors to make them money-horny" like ChatGPT. Investors have no interest in sponsoring a sequel to ELIZA, a "racist Tay" from Microsoft revival, or really even computer vision unless you make it look sexy or put it in a particularly expensive weapon.

There are other things, but they're mostly toyish novelties like LLMs are. Unsupervised learning is almost entirely undesirable in most business applications. If your notion of "real" AI precludes neural nets and statistics classifiers then I am sorry to report that such «real» AI remains a science-fiction myth.
> The brain doesn't have a CPU-like architecture doing symbolic reasoning.

While I agree with the first part I'm not convinced of the second. Can you elaborate? I'm fairly certain people write down symbols on paper (or chalkboards or computer screens), manipulate those symbols, and then uncover new laws of physics[0].

> we now offload this kind of reasoning to computers because they do.

Do we? I'd also like this elaborated on. I do not disagree that we offload computation, but I'm not convinced we offload reasoning. There are automated reasoning systems but they are still human directed and I should mention are symbolic in nature.

I also want to make sure we're using the word "reasoning" to refer to the same thing. I am using the definition from here[1] which is congruent with this[2]

Just to clarify - this was about SWAR version as my interest, similar to what you mentioned in a sibling comment, is in mainly below-vector-width strings, because these are most frequently passed to these kinds of functions by developers. I was going to try to see if it can further "amortize" the jump table with fallthrough for variable lengths below 16 in my C# UTF-8 string implementation that is going to use it.

In any case, thanks for writing the article, for some reason there is quite a bit of negativity among users and developers towards AVX512 - it is seen as "AVX2 but twice as wide", which it of course isn't, but most do not know that.

Also, you may want to simply do the overlapping conversion for the tail instead of masking out the elements, which is usually faster on the benchmarks (at least give it a try), and also align the source and destination for the loop to avoid split loads/stores.
Pretty much every such discussion demands linking:

I would definitely agree that early on one writes more lines of code, while later development one spends more time finding where to make a change, and then reviewing the results of the alteration.

Curious how much attention folks pay to this sort of thing --- my current project: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview is a Literate Program and in its current state just crossed over 1,600 lines of code, but I'm re-working that so that each file will instead be numbered individually.

Not really, China is just a step behind, in a year they will be at current US AI state-of-art, without competition, from there they'll have all the GPUs in the world to keep improving their models.

Or most probably, US national interests will step in, just like it did with SpaceX, and will provide any amount of billions required to keep in the fight, at least till China steps out of the AI race.

Beside the (naive?), naysayers, until the technology actually shows it is failing to keep the promise of super powerful AIs, it is a global, geopolitical race to get there (AGI/ASI), or till the point it fails (new AI winter).

To make quite sure it really doesn't work, and not dropping out of the race just to see a chinese ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), emerge a couple of years later.
A first order effect of increasing a stock is that price/profit decreases, driving holders of that stock to diversify into different client bases:

- lower profit AirBnBs to long-term rentals

Reducing supply of AirBnBs does the opposite; drawing marginal suppliers (legal AirBnB units that used to be long term rentals, are converted to AirBnB.)

You’ll have to provide extraordinary evidence that reducing total supply of something (units) can lead to lower prices and more availability. Because it has never done so, in all of history…
