Go to https://www.metapcs.com/watercooled/ and pick Intel or AMD.

On the next page (core components) under "GPU Waterblock" click Edit, then switch to "Graphics Card Waterblock" from "Standard Aircooled".

Then, configure the rest of the PC.

Or, go here: https://www.metapcs.com/contact-us/ and just talk to them about what you want and what is possible, etc.

But I think this is basically what you want. I don't know of any prebuilts for your fanless with high end GPU (they could exist), but I do know that reputable firms do specialize in high-power low-noise PCs. So I think it can be done and is not too uncommon. Like this one, just for example.

> Human intelligence is not benchmarked by its lowest common denominators (just like how we don't judge LLM's on the basis of tiny 100M parameter models).

Indeed, but we do also catalogue our cognitive biases — kinda the human version of what are now called hallucinations when LLMs do them. (When Stable Diffusion does it, it's "oh god the fingers").

It's worth caring about both strengths and weaknesses.

Sure the EU can; the EU can block any payments leaving the EU going toward a legally non-compliant entity (company, country, etc) if they wish.
In a very limited form only. The fees are very low though. You still have all of your legal rights etc so as long as the retailer / manufacturer stays in business you get the warranty etc (EU law gives a warranty on "expected lifetime" but many try to limit that to 2 years - you have to sue to get more).
How is Go randomizing the map iteration order?

In Java, objects are responsible for their equals/hashCode implementations. The contract they must abide by is:

1. If two objects are equal, they must produce the same hash code; and

2. If they are not equal, they may produce the same hash code.

So if you had a list of 10 Strings and put them in a map in Java, it's likely you'll get a deterministic order for iterating over them unless you added a random factor. That factor could be a random seed tied to the map that you XOR the hash code with.

You can't really change the hash code itself to avoid a Hash DoS attack because you might break that contract. So how does Go (and Rust?) deal with that? Is Go adding a random seed to each hash map? If not, what is it doing?

As for nullability, there's no going back once you use a type system that expresses nullability.

Lastly, PHP arrays are incredibly convenient, ignoring the weirdness with them being array and hash map hybrids. But th ekey aspect is that they maintain insertion order when you use them like a map. This is so often what you want. Yes, other langauges do this too (eg Java's LinkedHashMap) but it's (IMHO) such a useful default.
I couldn't find any mention on your website about LOCAL LLMs and according to your FAQ, it requires an account with your website.

It is basically the same as memorization.
Did they not know that?

You're moving the goalposts. You said you saw no difference between what he said and what victim of a scammer would. You've inferred from the article what you imagine he said. The article has the 20 years bit, and yes, we have no evidence he told the bank, but neither do we have evidence he didn't, and your only basis for assuming one and not the other is your own biases.

It's fair to question whether he gave them that info, but not for just assuming he didn't.
And the value prop isn’t just the payments. Once you add things like inventory management, front/back of the house integration, taxes and a bunch of other things, you’re simplifying a lot of things for the business at a lower cost than having them pay for every one of those things.
this new project, spring-rs is a wrapper for various other projects, gluing them together. (and thats totally fine!)

But naming it after the Spring Framework might be slightly exaggerating its ambition.

Even its homepage uses marketing thats not really on point for Spring i think?

I dont think anyone can honestly call Spring with its 8 million Lines of Java Code ... lightweight?

Indeed, a lot of 8-bit computer audio cassette recording rates were as low as 300 baud. I remember feeling spoiled that my Radio Shack Color Computer (based on the Motorola 6809) was 1500 baud. Also, depending on the quality of your audio cassette recorder and tape media, errors could occur. If something was really important, you saved it twice in a row and once again on another cassette tape.

Since tapes were relatively expensive (at least to us teenagers) we bought longer tapes since it worked out to be cheaper per minute. We then tried to maximize each cassette by recording a bunch of programs on each. Unfortunately, the only way to know where anything was on a tape was by zeroing the mechanical counter on the cassette recorder and scribbling the counter numbers down. Of course, these counters were only tied to the motor run time and thus quite inaccurate and, at best, fast forward and rewind could only get you in the approximate ballpark of a program's location. If we lost our scribbled tape counter notes, the only alternative was to play the tape at 1x and wait for the named program segment to be seen by the computer (on tapes up to an hour per side).

I also recall someone made a hack that patched the Coco ROM to enable 3000 baud recording and reading, however this did make read errors somewhat more likely.

> Try to do something significant with the pirated content, as the AI startups do, and you'll immediately get trouble.

No they won't. 80% of the people I meet at tech events either have an AI startup or are working at one. Basically all of them are doing legally questionable stuff, when it comes to copyright law.

Anyone who has ever trained a model, or finetuned a model, is likely using other people's data. This is universal. It is almost everyone.

And yet, despite this being a gray area, basically nobody is getting into trouble for this. We are all getting away with it. And there is only a singular lawsuit about this against like 4 companies and nobody else. (midjourney, runwayML, Stable diffusion, and deviant art)

So the point stands. Almost nobody is getting into trouble, despite this behavior being widespead everywhere, and if you don't do the same thing then you are going to fall behind and fail.

Isn’t the second part—getting counterparties to trust you—an essential part of building something like they have?

I’m reminded of the old joke about the tech who thumps a machine to fix it, then sends a $5000 bill. $5 for coming out and thumping, $4995 for knowing where to thump.

Maybe instead of “3% to update some tables in a money database,” it’s more properly “.001% for the database update, 2.999% for being trustworthy enough that everyone is willing to trade goods and services on the strength of our promise that they’ll get paid”

Marketplaces like OLX (Polish ebay) will sometimes offer a moneyback guarantee for a small percentage of the transaction amount. You can use the same system to pay at the grocery store or the local doner kebab place. We’ve been using cash for far longer than credit cards.

This is awesome - I was a Master at Autocad for decades, and it was because of mastering keyboard shortcuts for every thing I did and having a vast ustom keyboard mapping. (When I was learning Autocad in the early 90s I read one book "The Abc's of Autocad" -- and I did every lesson in that book ~five times, which taught me all the keymappings and I never had to read another book on Autocad.)

Bear in mind that it works both ways. I can be offered a new job tomorrow and give my current employer immediate notice that I'm never coming back.

Regardless of at-will employment, the vast majority of employers will still give you plenty of warning before you're fired for performance reasons. It's mainly an issue when a company suddenly has large layoffs. And despite what you see in the media, most people are employed by smaller companies that are generally not laying anyone off.

IOW, the negative aspects of at-will employment really don't have much impact on the average techie's life.

If they so wish, Estonia is a sovereign country, they can block any company they want; they just need to pass a law to say so (provided of course it doesn't conflict with other laws they have).
The problem I have with this argument is that you cannot consider "efficiency" in a vacuum. You need to have a metric against which to measure it.

Consider these two scenarios -

Goal: remember where to look up information when it comes up in $JOB
Metric: how much you remember, how quickly you find the info

Goal: discover new hyper-efficient method of training an AI (or insert popular ML topic here).
Metric: percent improvement vs current pubished best practice (deliberately vague)
Required understanding to make progress: "like a Ph.D. from Stanford"

Now you can possibly measure something.

The idea achievement of "90% understanding" is VERY topic dependent. Simple topic? Sure 100% understanding, I remembered the Latin names of all of the plants in my house. Complicated topic? The information for "100% understanding" might not even be written in the textbook - it probably includes things like seeing the interconnections between the topics and being able to apply them in slightly different contexts.

Make sure you read the studies so you know what they're talking about. In this area, I think summaries are frequently misleading. You have to know what the real evidence is that substantiates the claims. (I cannot tell you how many times I have looked at the evidence and just rolled my eyes - obviously not applicable in settings where I wanted it to be.)

I just wanted to thank all the authors, especially of textbooks, who put their work online, for free. Their dedication shows, and how.
It is largely due to these free (and free-ish) resources that many people -- including autodidacts and those with limited resources -- are able to further their education.

Authors - know that your efforts are very much appreciated!

Meh, what if people rely on randomness. They should flip between random and ordered at random too.
Yeah I'm a big fan of cash but do you remember the days when that's all there really was? You had to go the bank every week to get it. There was risk of theft or loss for both individuals and businesses.

You could write personal checks, but not every business accepted them and if you were a business there was a period of days, sometimes weeks where you didn't know if a payment was good. I did pizza delivery in the 1980s, we accepted cash or check and I would guess about 1 in 10 checks were no good. That's a huge loss to absorb. And drivers would make occasional mistakes handling cash.

I remember when Visa and Mastercard started to get popular and widely accepted. Before that you had store credit cards, gas station credit cards, you were carrying around maybe half a dozen different cards just to do your normal purchases, or you were writing checks everywhere. e-commerce didn't exist yet but it would never have been possible paying by cash or check.

Visa/MC and later Paypal, Stripe, etc. solved real problems and provided real conveniences. That's worth something.
I don't think is realistic because there is no way to verify the intent of someone who is validated as a human without reading their minds.

So this proposal of closed internet and heavily walled gardens doesn't really work and it just leads to more sophisticated and harder to detect means of scraping that data.

Think about it, if you have data that is so valuable that people are willing to put a paywall and throttle their usage at the expense of user experience, its most certainly going to be dumped in the public.

Also this fear of LLM stealing your content is unwarranted. It's no different than somebody running compression algorithms on content they scraped so that its more accessible for the masses.

From my readings and speaking with lawyers it appears the current copyright laws won't stand with LLMs because of the difficulty of reproducing the entire "compression" process which requires extreme amount of money to replicate.

This is OpenAI and many other's legal defence. That there won't be attempts to replicate the underlying mechanism to prove copyright contents were used in the process.

A carefully written prompt to replicate copyright work like with Suno can claim compensation pro delicto but to prove every piece of content will be difficult to claim LLM or token based attention networks are able to "steal" without building it from scratch, training it on millions of hours, especially if its closed and patented.

So we might see people claiming victory over cases like Suno but they've already lost the bigger battle over LLM's legal status.
Related, have there been any 'truly open-source' forks of Grafana since their license change? Or does anyone know of good Grafana alternatives from FOSS devs in general? My default right now is to just use Prometheus itself, but I miss some of the dashboard functionality etc. from Grafana.

Grafana's license change to AGPLv3 (I suspect to drive their enterprise sales), combined with an experience I had reporting security vulnerabilities, combined with seeing changes like this[1] not get integrated has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Buy two tubes, while true, when you finish a tube, add one toothpaste tube to the shopping list, done.

Works great for an average person who usually visits the store. Adjust the initial putchase if you visit the store twice a year.

Also works great for many suplies like coffee, pasta, legumes...
I don’t understand how this works with systems like toothpaste? I get if you somehow stored your toothpaste in some queue-like structure where you only see 1 at a time, then yes, reaching the last would be helpful. But surely they are in a cupboard or drawer or something?

To know to start the sentinel toothpaste he must search around and prove it’s the only one left - by doing this he doesn’t need the sentinel anyway, as the searching process with yield only one, sentinel or not?

If it doesn’t need a search, e.g. they are in a line/all on easy view - then it’s obvious it’s the last even without a sentinel?

It’s pretty simple, Chinese companies need to lower Chinese wages, reduce costs, reduce profit expectations, provide lower cost shipping to ports, guarantee the quality of their product once it arrives in North America not pay when it leaves the factory.

We want $1 products again at dollar tree (not $1.25 tree), and better quality for less money.

Otherwise we will just make the stuff in the USA ourselves. One day we will get smart and export more TO China because no one in China trusts the quality of anything made in China

In general, I agree with pulling out of a country that doesn’t exercise freedom of speech (as in criticism, not threats). But the hypocrisy is somewhat funny.

There’s probably better (for society) ways such as providing higher anonymity for criticism (not threats). But that seems like a nightmare overall.

Correct, systems like iDeal intentionally don't support charge backs [1].

> For a 3% discount,

It is fantasy to think they'd get a 3% discount. The goods in stores that take only cash do not tend to be cheaper than those that do.

They know what people are willing to pay and will charge the price. If they see people are willing to pay $99 with a credit card, then they'll be willing to pay that with cash.
It's the same on the candidate side. I know when I interview, what it'll take to bring me on board depends a lot on the company, the team, and what the position looks like. For something I absolutely want to be a part of, because all of the above are incredible, it's not going to take as much in compensation as a place that's not perfect in one aspect or another, but is otherwise nice at the right price.

But I won't know where the company sits on that spectrum until after the interview.
It’s interesting to see so many supposedly ‘hackers’ take the state of Intellectual “Property” laws that are from a different era (and are “purchased” by old incumbents too by the way) as gospel and object to strategies to deal with them for the long term.

This is incredibly depressing. Such a priceless collection of unique computing artifacts, many the last examples of their kind. And at the LCM the public could reach out and touch them, play games on them, explore them!

And now the collection is parceled off and scattered six ways to Sunday, so an heiress can add a few million to her inheritance of billions, presumably.

How many of these will languish and fall to neglect? And why the fuck did none of the rich tech bros buy out the museum to keep it open? What will become of that CDC 6500?
