Theoretically stuff like EPR is supposed to be a cookie cutter design.

Actual implementation of said design has had a lot of issues, hence the escalation of costs. And it’s not easy to iron out and iterate on something that is billions of dollars a piece when a solar panel is in the thousands and a wind turbine is in the millions.

Have some nuance. GR is already known to be "wrong" since it isn't reconcilable with QM.

If any given MOND is true, GR needs some (possibly minor) changes in the limit, just as GR needs (possibly minor) changes to accommodate QM
I would say the exact same thing about the Republicans if they were in power. Right now they aren't so they aren't committing the same offenses. I think they are just as capable as being corrupt and fascist like the Democrats are right now.

> Yet you provide no options for Tor, as in https://simplex.chat/docs/server.html your idea for anonymizing users is... For the user to hop through roughly 20 page document of dozens of commands to create the equivalent of personal VPN server, and amidst it, to connect anonymously to contacts' servers, you need to install...

You need to understand things you criticise. There is no contradiction here. We don't think Tor should be default, because Tor has bad threat model for many people, and bad usability for most people.

This is a separate conversation, but you think that Tor is panacea for anonymity and that it provides "good enough" anonymity for most people, you need to read this rather old presentation: https://ritter.vg/p/tor-v1.6.pdf, in particular the pages titled "Guards - Math". In short, the conclusion should be that Tor provides ok anonymity for web browsing, with only occasional streams being de-anonymised, but it provides really bad anonymity for hidden services, because it is enough to deanonymise one stream to deanonymise the hidden service IP address - which is a catastrophic failure of threat model.

So, persistent hidden services simply should not be used as means to provide anonymity, and yet they are used as permanent user addresses in Cwtch... If you think I am wrong, we can debate it further, but you really should not be recommending Tor as panacea without understanding limitations of its threat model.

Yet, some people do like using Tor, both to access servers via onion addresses that we provide on preset servers, and to host their own servers, either because they don't understand or because they accept the risks of hidden service deanonymisation.

The nice side effect of private routing is that it allows people who don't use Tor, send messages to SMP servers available only as Tor hidden services.

> As for the hoops, you know, you can just write an install script for the user to auto-configure this stuff correctly. In its current state it's definitely something an average Joe is going to do.

I believe that an average Joe must not host his own server, and for people who understand what they are doing following these steps takes 10 minutes.

> If this is there just to shut down criticism, maybe you should instead address the criticism, and make it metadata-private by default, without these insane hoops.

Meta-data is private by default, without any hoops, and Tor is not required for it - it is absolutely optional. Tor configuration is only needed to allow users using Tor access servers, and to bridge non-Tor users to Tor servers - so it is about better network connectivity, and not about metadata privacy.

Basically the customer has to "outbid" the ad industry.

Example: Facebook makes about $40/user off ads and related things (at least as of a few years ago), so users would need to pay $40/month or more to have a chance at keeping Facebook away from the ad market.

Of course then the temptation is to double-dip, which is Apple's temptation. The only solution to that is either regulation or customers penalizing companies that invade privacy by voting with their wallet.
my calculus is that most artists aren’t as detailed, and of the artists that are, most of the time they wouldn't exhibit those traits you were looking for in your commission

> MacOS got a total ground-up rewrite in between versions 9 and 10, and it helps they built the UI on top of an existing nix.

The reason the parent mentioned NeXTSTEP is while MacOS between 9 and X is a ground-up rewrite if you compare those two, Mac OS X was an evolution of the NeXTSTEP codebase from 1989 (34 years ago).

> I went to the Maya developer’s conference around maybe 2002 and the devs were complaining about it being hard to maintain.

I'm not surprised. I'm a bit fuzzy on the pre-history of Maya, but I believe it incorporated software acquired from Alias, Wavefront, and TDI. However, I think part of the performance and bugginess might be from launching on expensive IRIX-based systems and transitioning to commodity hardware an Linux in the early 2000s.

> Where are the numbers for applications?

It basic math. You divide the numbers of people accepted by the acceptance rate. And before you nitpick my data some more, enrollment is a a fair proxy for acceptances because there is no reason to believe that accepted men are twice as likely to reject the top STEM universities than women.

This is ironic coming from someone so willing to dismiss the data that challenges their worldview without providing of their own. My anecdote beats your pure speculation. Applying to an optional promotion isn't the same as applying to colleges.

Speed is useful for batch tasks or doing a bunch of serial tasks quickly. E.g. "take these 1000 pitch decks and give me 5 bullets on each", "run this prompt 100 times and then pick the best response", "detect which of these 100k comments mention the SF Giants".
Some of the things in the world may never be known for certain. The layman can look at the constellation of factors that lead up to an event.

The NKVD/KGB/FSB was and continues to be known to engage in kneecapping actions in enemy states. Many Northern nations were kindled into taking an anti-nuclear stance. It is taking a lot of initiative for Northern Europe to extricate itself from dependence on Russian natural gas. Russia used natural gas control as retaliation following sanctions.

Occam’s Razor would suggest these things are linked.

One idea is more of a thought exercise at this stage: a digital cooperative. VCs can make investments in the co-op but this doesn't give them any equity or leverage (as a co-op it probably follows the one member one vote principle). VC investments could instead realize value through access to, and participation in, co-op projects and commercial initiatives... probably too far out of the VC playbook and comfort zone.
Instructions can be completed in one clock cycle, which removes a lot of complexity compared to instructions that require multiple clock cycles.

Removed complexity means you can fit more stuff into the same amount of silicon, and have it be quicker with less power.

It's still like that today, you build something attractive to users and assume you'll figure out the monetization later. It was more of a wild west back then because they were throwing everything at the wall to see what would stick since everything was still too new to guess at what would work though.

> DM has been measured in many different ways

That is begging the question. Claiming that DM has been measured many ways presupposes that the different ways that "it has been measured" are have the same cause, which itself is the dark matter hypothesis.

Until we get a multimodal observation of DM itself we can't claim that DM has been measured many ways. We are very much still in the "guessing that these things are DM" phase.

Schools can be arbitrarily large I guess, e.g. some of the large state schools in the US. But private universities decide on their missions--which are often to have a smaller and more focused student body to your point. Making connections through my studies was mostly never a big deal but having a (somewhat) smaller school was. There are plenty of larger (and cheaper) universities if that's what you're looking for.
There are few or no 220 volt circuits in North America. Your choices in that range are 208V or 240V.

But yes, a power supply can draw around 240V times 20A = 4800VA, which is nearly 4800W if the power factor is close to 1. An office in an office building is more likely to have 208V.

This question is a bit out of context.

Cerebras is a startup producing innovative AI chips. Their chips are super cool, and I personally believe Cerebras is ahead of the industry and is on the right technical path. As a matter of fact, Cerebras started with HPC chips. Then pivoted to AI like everyone else.

They are still deep in the trench for survival.

Given that, they have very little software prowess compared to AMD (which has *terrible* software stack for AI GPUs look at https://github.com/ROCm/rdc, an equivalent to NVIDIA DCGM, which virtually has no maintainer, and no one is using it), NVIDIA (the golden standard of software stack for AI GPUs); and you are referring to structured output and prompt caching which are prominently developed by LLM research institutions (OpenAI Anthropic, each of which have way more funding than Cerebras)

In the end, educate yourself, and do not put unrealistic expectation on startups.
I am not sure why not. From the article: "In the weeks to come we will be adding larger models such as Llama3-405B".
This repeats so frequently I can't believe people still make this mistake. Multiple times i've seen people hire people out of college, give them not well defined work and then get mad that the person can't deliver.

It takes a long while for you to be able to go from fuzzy feature request to fully fledged product, people without experience need A LOT of handholding to be productive and that is fine, no one is born knowing everything and if you're going to hire people without experience you should EXPECT to invest time in training them.
Beyond the most trivial of microcontrollers and experimental designs there are no RISC chips under the original understanding of RISC. The justification for RISC evaporated when we became able to put 1 million, 100 million, and so on, transistors on a chip. Now all the chips called "RISC" include vector, media, encryption, network, FPUs, and etc. instructions. Someone might want to argue that some elements of RISC designs (orthogonal instruction encoding, numerous registers, etc.) make a particular chip a RISC chip. But they really aren't instances of the literal concept of RISC.

To me, the whole RISC-V interest is all just marketing. As an end user I don't make my own chips and I can't think of any particular reason I should care whether a machine has RISC-V, ARM, x86, SPARC, or POWER. In the end my cost will be based on market scale and performance. The licensing cost of the design will not be passed on to me as a customer.
Can really fast inference (e.g. 1M tok/sec) make LLMs more intelligent? I am imagining you could run multiple agents and can choose and discard outputs using other LLMs simultaneously. Will the output look more like a real thought process? Or will it remain just same?
> You can thank Greenpeace and CND and their misinformed campaigns for that.

You can thank the USA and the war against Japan for that. It’s pointless to try to ignore that Hiroshima and Nagasaki did happen.

That’s the paradox. Nuclear fission probably would never have become viable without the massive investment in its weaponisation but the same weaponisation made it unpalatable as a source of energy.

I think there remains a deep seated association between nuclear energy, the nuclear weapon armed powers and imperialism amongst the members of most green parties, which are all historically alter-mondialist.
This is easily, without a doubt, the most British thing I've ever seen. Glorious.
I do think there’s a little risk that the stories will enter an uncanny valley (if such a thing actually exists). Dwarf Fortress is a dwarf simulation game that happened to be a surprisingly good story generator. If a game is sold as an AI enhanced story generation game, the bar may be too high, and people might be disappointed. But I think there’s definitely potential.

If nothing else, the potential is really interesting. Who knows what will happen. Maybe somebody will come up with an LLM enhanced version of the director AI for Left 4 Dead or something.

Please don't sensationalize your example, it doesn't help your argument and others can play that game too *.

While it's true that the industrial revolution has led to significant economic growth, I don't think that justifies the fact that two children died of hunger in your example community. Every child deserves to live a life free from hunger and poverty, regardless of the overall economic situation. It's not a zero-sum game where we have to choose between economic growth and the well-being of the most vulnerable members of society. And I'm not convinced by the argument that the potential benefits of economic growth outweigh the cost of individual lives. We should be working to create a world where every child has access to the resources they need to thrive, not justifying the deaths of children as a necessary cost of progress.

* In your example, one of the two kids that dies is your son. The other one is the kid who's death is going to launch his best friend in a downward spiral that will eventually lead him to push the button and start global nuclear war that kills everyone and everything on the planet.
Burn 0.14.0 Released: The First Rust-Native Deep Learning Framework
Burn is now the first fully Rust-native deep learning framework. Do everything in Rust, from GPU kernels to model definition. No CUDA, C++ or WGSL needed thanks to CubeCL that we released last month.

We've introduced a new tensor data format that offers faster serialization/deserialization and supports Quantization (currently in Beta). Loading and saving can be up to 4X as fast.

As always, we've added numerous bug fixes, new tensor operations, and improved documentation. Thanks to all contributors, over 50 for this release.
I really don't like Jinja. The syntax is not for me and there's often three different ways of building the same thing. I find it a bit confusing.

Recently I started using JinjaX (https://jinjax.scaletti.dev/), which is weirdly amazing. I think the comparison on the homepage explains it quite well. It feels like what Jinja always should have been and and the multiple ways of doing the same thing converge into one syntax in JinjaX.

I really hope the project gains more traction.

Facebook has insane pull. Sometimes I forget about it, but it is used by majority of every single demographic base once you consider different portions of the FB app (markets, groups, messenger), Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads (don’t think it is that relevant yet). That being said, to my understanding, Meta has been trying to move itself away from political-adjacent conversations. While Twitter is completely the opposite, and thrives on poli-rage.

Learning from Las Vegas is Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's seminal work and the ideas drove their work. In a nutshell, buildings are either ducks or decorated sheds. [0] Their clients hired them to design decorated sheds and that is why there were non-structural columns.

That doesn't mean the columns did not have a purpose. Columns can create points that organize spatial experience. Columns are cultural iconography (e.g. the Parthenon vs Johnson Wax).

There are certain ironies in the fine article:

1. The criticism of the non-structural columns for non-functionality in the context of an art museum.

2. If Venturi and Scott Brown had designed a duck (very common among museum commissions) removing the columns would have been difficult or impossible [1].

For context, Charles Windsor's architectural opinions are contrary not just to the ideas of Venturi and Scott Brown but to the aesthetics of the last 150 years.

[1]: Architects with functional dogma will incorporate structural columns into their designs to achieve iconography and spatial organization because structural use justifies their inclusion.

It’s just that solar panels can be imported from China without needing a skilled specialist workforce. Yey free market

But nuclear has to be built here, and we in the west suck (especially UK/US, France still holding out) at building any big infrastructure without cost overruns. ‘Free market’ doesn’t like the risks of large, hard to finance, one off projects. And our governments have decided that if central planning doesn’t work, then they don’t need to plan anything at all.

Combine that with lack of skilled staff workforce as all the people who built previous nuclear powerplants have already retired and the western firms wage war against their own skilled engineers, and you have a toxic cocktail.

TL SR: the only reason Small Module Reactors are interesting is because they could be made in China and imported by our lazy system
I was prepared to disagree, but actually I don't see what the problem is with that post.

Here it is, so others don't have to dig around for it. It appears to have been a top level comment.

"This pseudo-apology is the worst sort of political expediency. He did what the government asked while denying doing it, now apologizes for it to curry favor with the rightwing world he alienated. It's like the NY Times pushing the weapons of mass destruction narrative during the Iraq war and later running long articles about what bad journalism that was."
