> It's as if everyone just says "dependency = ${exact_version_I_have}" and never considers anything else.

This is what I call "version soup".

The idea that every project can choose an near-arbitrary set of very exact version numbers of dependencies and expect it to work. And that every project on earth has the burden of continually stirring their soup, often through a tool like dependabot, hoping (cross fingers) no compatibility problems come about.

Of course, there's no guarantee that those versions will work together. The extremely limited abilities packaging tools have for expressing dependency restrictions (>= this or that version) generally lack the ability to even handle the concept of stable branches with backports. i.e. "No, it must be >= 1.2.3.. what do you mean they backported the relevant fix to 1.1.4? 1.1.4 < 1.2.3 so it's unacceptable". The way these specifications are then used by authors brings an extra layer of noise to the compatibility situation - very few (understandably) will actually go and check the limits of version compatibility.

In nixpkgs we attempt to address this situation for the python ecosystem by providing one version of each package (with few exceptions) per release. But in return, we put in work to make sure those versions actually work with each other - generally by getting the projects' test suites integrated into the build system. The idea is that an app built to depend on nixpkgs packages should be able to expect to do dependency upgrades as a "jump" every 6 months when there's a new nixpkgs release, but otherwise be able to depend on a stable suite of packages that still receives security updates & backports.
Other calculator apps that might have different privacy policies, and who might call home to Google and Facebook despite reporting "no data collected", and which might disappear from the app store because it costs $100/year to have the privilege of providing a free app (e.g. as happened with OpenCalc. https://github.com/breeko/OpenCalc/issues/3 )
Whether he did or not is not the same as saying he is "known for it".

If you asked 1000 random people to say what they know about Elon musk, what percent do you think will say "oh. You mean the guy that doesn't pay vendors!"

Also. What is the base rate for contract disputes with vendors among large companies? He runs 3 large companies, surely with tens of thousands of contracts for services. There will always be disputes there - is his rate higher than average? Does he lose very dispute in court?
I mean if you RTFA, and take it at face value, it was posted by a lawyer who has been doing this for 20+ years for hundreds of clients.

If it's a fake post, someone put a lot of time into making it convincing? They cite tax law and precedent cases etc..

I have not personally validated any of it myself though.

I swear I’ve put in the wrong passcode before hastily and it unlocks. I wonder if it’s because of this lag the display doesn’t match the input so I really did input it correctly but it just didn’t look like it.

One famous person who did this was Larry Ellison using Oracle shares. This almost caused a problem for him in the 90s due to the stock dropping in value:

Unfortunately due to free-space path loss limiting the Shannon-Hartley channel capacity, the total amount of information storable using this method asymptotically approaches zero for large distances.

For reference, the combined formulas are C=d×B×log_2(1+(Dc÷4πdf)²×S÷N)÷c. And lim->∞ d×ln(1+1÷d²) unfortunately = 0. (Curiously, attempting to store more information by increasing bandwidth -- and thus center frequency -- suffers the same limitation.)

(Wolfram Alpha isn't forthcoming yet with a closed-form solution for the optimal distance...)
Well yeah, LGBTQIA+ sort of explicitly excludes heteronormals definitionally, but I think very few individuals identify as all of those.
Agreed they didn’t even try to keep their promise and be better custodians of Tumblr than Yahoo was. Now it’s all about content acquisition as they drain the database.
They were one of the first HDTV customers, along with NGIA and NRO.
There isn't infinite production/packaging capability, and they're going to prioritize the customers willing to pay more for the chips they get out of a wafer. Another aspect is that the chips are different between compute and consumer, as opposed to something like a Zen chip where it can be used in either Epyc or Ryzen.
Why support proprietary libraries? Isn't it better to make an open-source library.

Also as for AMD, as I understand, they are unwilling to make ML libraries for consumer-grade GPUs and GPUs built into CPUs.
They Kent. I love your work and I have succesfully used bcachefs in my main workstation since 6.7. I also happily donate monthly in patreon, which I do rarely if ever.

Hope you don't get too much into trouble with Linus. I do not want to see you or the project get into the wrong side of the old guard...
I run an older version of macOS, but it's historically been the case that Command-C copies the result of a calculation entered in Spotlight. They key is that the Copy command must be performed when the calculation is not selected for the result to be copied to the Clipboard. Put another way, type the math to be performed in Spotlight, then press Command-C and the result has been copied.
And we know OpenAI uses Microsoft for GPUs. My guess is Anthropic is similarly not owning their own data centers; didn’t they get a bunch of money from google? It’s probably being spent there.
Companies like Coreweave who lease accelerators may make this analysis less straight forward than it appears.
On the contrary I think it’s quite reasonable to gate functionality behind reading the manual. But one wonders why it’s a distinct application and not integrated throughout the system, such as through tooltips or a “question mark cursor”?
Having most of the servers be loaded at about 5% CPU usage feels extremely wasteful, but at the same time I guess it's better to have the spare capacity for something that you really want to keep online, given the nature of the site.

However, if they have a peak of 450 web requests per second and somewhere between 11000 - 23800 SQL queries per second, that'd mean between 25 - 53 SQL queries to serve a single request. There's probably a lot of background processes and whatnot (and also queries needed for web sockets) that cut the number down and it's not that bad either way, but I do wonder why that is.

The apps with good performance that I've generally worked with attempted to minimize the amount of DB requests needed to serve a user's request (e.g. session cached in Redis/Valkey and using DB views to return an optimized data structure that can be returned with minimal transformations).

Either way, that's a quite beefy setup!
I mean it's all TMSC at the end of the day. They have finite capacity that's all tied up for a while.
I have been saying this at work for years, of course I am ignored :)
I'm AI-positive (now), but yes this sounds like a chip bubble.
NVIDIA seem to be good at chasing these bubbles -- first crypto mining, now AI.
It wouldn't surprise me to find one of the major buyers is a speculator (hedge fund led by crypto bros, for example).
> enlighten me

Fundamentally on the whole I don't think most of your interpretation is comment worthy. (To clarify, I don't think its particularly objectionable following from the premise in your opening paragraph.) But...

> in the stable branch timeline

Again. Like I outlined in my initial reply. This has nothing to do with stable. I don't know why you keep talking about stable.

The discussion is about bleeding edge mainline Linux. It's clear to me because:

* It is a PR for Linus. I don't know enough about stable to know if they use PRs but most stable stuff I do know about involves marking patches for stable on the specific mailing lists oriented around stable.

* Linus doesn't handle stable.

* Linus and Kent are taking about the merge window and Kent submitting non-regression fixing patches after it. This doesn't make any sense if it was in a stable context. The process is different.

* If this was stable the discussion would be with GKH.

So, your comment is based on the premise of this being a discussion surrounding stable. It's not, so I don't know what to make of the rest of your comment on the basis of this incorrect premise.
Great and now the top thread on the HN discussion is about that drama only tangentially referenced in the article.
The definition i'm using is a commonly held one. Art is subjective, and obviously people disagree about what is and isn't art, but most people agree that some degree of human intent and expression is required, at a baseline, for something to be considered art.

But your definition seems to be that anything which elicits an emotional response is art, which seems far less useful.

I suppose it could be argued that because AI requires models and prompts, the end result could be considered art. Also that it's art simply due to the controversy it provokes. Then again, I have a difficult time considering something art if it can be exactly duplicated with the correct inputs. To that end, the human being doesn't really matter. To me, if the human being doesn't matter, it isn't art. I'd also dismiss most "generative" art for the same reason - even if fractals are pretty I wouldn't consider them art.
Nobody has developed that yet and OP might not have the skills to do so, but if an easy-to-install github repo were available then the lowered barrier to entry might make it possible. Theoretically, Teslas already know how fast every car around them is going and how they are driving, as evidenced by the 3D "FSD visualization", but I am guessing that piping this information out to rat out the reckless drivers is going to be super hard.
I’m guessing a massive amount is for inference for whatsapp, and the original goal was making for relevant instagram - and of course the massive Llama model training - my guess is Facebook is a relatively small component of Meta’s overall use of GPUs. Feed recommendations? (unless you were using facebook as a holder for Meta?)
Ok, so there is a famous instance of a billionaire trying this strategy and almost destroying his wealth.

I'm not sure many financial advisors for the super rich would be recommending this method based on this.
As far as I have ever been able to determine, it only makes sense as a strategy under a specific set of circumstances. It is not the general-purpose infinite money glitch many people make it out to be. There are many scenarios under which it is a suboptimal financial strategy.
Where I live, speeding and red light cameras can only issue fines to the plate holder and don't affect the demerit points of the driver because they don't have evidence of who was driving the vehicle. I imagine it would go the same way with insurance. Unless a cop pulls the person over and gets their ID, tough luck.
The most interesting thing to discover would be if one of them is that far behind, because they're succeeding on their own/someone not-Nvidia's silicon.

The public in-house projects that I'm aware of (but as far as I know haven't fully replaced demand for Nvidia GPUs) include:

- Google's "TPU" (in production, publicly rentable)

- Amazon/AWS's "Trainium" (in production, publicly rentable)

- Meta's "MTIA" (in production)

- Microsoft's "Maia 100" (I'm unclear on their status)

- Tesla's "D1" (I'm unclear on their status)
A phone doesn't spend much time doing "workloads". UI animations in particular should never be close to CPU or GPU bound.
In Excel (and some other languages), unary minus has higher precedence than exponentiation, so that -x^2 = (-x)^2 = x^2. That can bite you (for example when calculating the normal probability density function “manually”).
One indicator that I find reliable is simply if the comments exceed the up votes.
I've known about artifacts for a couple of weeks now, but didn't have the time to really test it, although they had appeared in a few prompts I made but mostly related to documents and stuff.

For he sake of it, to test the waters would you say, I decided to prompt for a small React app I've had in my mind [1] (Link below app description) for a couple of days now. I know this is far from being a polished, market ready app. But I do think Junior Devs are all outta job (Or going to be, within 6 - 18 months). Prepare for the shift, this one particular paradigm is taking no prisoners.

---

For the record, this is the app I got out of it, fully working:

My GF owns a cafeteria and she's running a promo on all her menu, _except_ other promos. The promotion is a 20% discount on all products, with the price rounded to the nearest 100 pesos (Argentina).

The small app I requested is single page, with a large number (total price) displayed on top.
Below is a 3 tabbed panel, with tabs being PROMO, REGULAR and SELECTED
Each tab has a list of products, with buttons [ - ][ # ] [ + ] <name> $<price>
When a [ + ] button is clicked, the number increases, and that product appears in the SELECTED tab if it wasn't there. [ - ] decreases the # in both listings, and if its zero it disappears from selected.
The price on top is always updated to reflect the total price.
The SELECT tab has all the selected products (You can change the # for each product there as well) with price, and a per type subtotal (as the discount is only applied to REGULAR products).
The subtotal when discounted appears as ~$#.##~ $#.## where the first instance of a number is the price without discount and the 2nd number is the price after discount.

My knowledge of React is negligible, and even if I know it enough to do this it would had taken me at least a couple hours to code. I could probably deploy it as an app to my GF's phone in less than an hour compiling and all.

It has also the possibility of an API call, so I could shove all them products in a page and go changing accordingly.

There’s a pretty rich landscape of FOSS+SaaS type WYSIWYG editors out there. Aimed at being a either the complete package like Wordpress and Ghost or even some that try to integrate with your current stack (a backend but you provide the frontend), like ContentStack and Sanity or Payload. Even some strange inbetween providers that have features like “generate React component from figma design and import it into your codebase via copy/paste”, like builder.io.

It wouldn't be healthy to have a large potential enemy next door with a chunk of resources that used to accrue to our benefit nor to abandon the 45-47% whose wishes are in accord with the majority of the nation we all live in but who aren't in line with the majority of the state.

Furthermore demographic changes suggest that the majority will be in some decades in accord with the rest of us if we don't blink now.

More importantly it would create a legal precedent that if allowed would fracture the US utterly diminishing our global power and likely leading to long term conflict which we may lose.

Anyone want to see civil war v2 with the new Confederacy aligned with China and Russia?

Conflict with China and Russia seems increasingly likely already in the long run and as China's star rises they have less reason for restaint.

Traditionally the rising star wars with the existing powers when supremacy is in doubt and that would very much be the case if we split in 2 or 3 and allegiance to eachother were in doubt.

There is every reason to believe that the US will defeat the fascist threat presented by Trump and come through it whole. If we allow seccession we will instead likely see the US split into the US and Trumpistan with TX only the first domino to fall. Doubtless other red states would follow probably into a loose confederation of states itself in danger of splintering further.

The best case would be ending up the EU with major economic ties preventing conflict between China and Russias aspirations crushed in Ukraine.

This is however a massive dice roll with no guarantee that it goes so well especially for women, liberals, and minorities in the red states.
This is horrifying.

It's because of stuff like this that I escape all non ASCII characters whenever I log or print anything.
I have no idea what I would do if cheap GH200s started showing up on Ebay. They would probably need some crazy cooling and interconnect to get working. I guess it would be the ultimate "localllama" machine.
I doubt Anthropic builds their own GPU datacenter.

They might buy some, but I think that Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon and will be the ones buying in large batches to enable companies like Anthropic (and themselves) to scale up to world wide inferencing demands, as well as generally offering the most efficient GPUs to their customers.
More job opportunities and pay for us then :)
When does a new user look at Wordpress’ tables? I’ve been using it for my site for like a decade and I only ever have to look in the database when I’m doing really complicated hacks, or something broke.
I’m just thinking that maybe trading a decent used sedan for a slightly shinier ARPG isn’t the wisest move I could be making.
I get that, that’s one way of looking at it. But other folks look at train vs plane for more utilitarian “getting there”. Depending on your situation and what you consider the train ride to be, the value offered by the train can be considered a reasonable deal or outlandishly expensive.
Is this a comment or a quotation?

Persona non grata that cabinet ministers are clamoring to be "rescued"?
Recently I needed to do some ESP32 development. The project was built on Windows and I wanted to maintain fidelity to the build environment.

So I installed WSL along with all of the rest of what I’m used to like NeoVim and Fish. Made my changes from there, then I opened a Windows command prompt to actually build, which ironically depended on MinGW.

Can you explain how extra numbers would happen if it simply triggered on press?

Do you often mis-press a number, then drag your finger out to cancel?
There are separate commercial and non-commercial licenses listed in the repository. This may not be compatible with open source, but it's a reasonable licensing strategy overall and doesn't create a "need to pay" as most use would be non-commercial.

Creative Commons licenses are not designed for software, but they clearly encode this sort of provision for other creative works. Why shouldn't software developers follow a similar path?

I don't know where you're quoting "free open source lib" from. It's not in the OP nor in the project README as far as I can tell. In fact, the README explicitly calls it commercial software.

Oh yeah, it's still pretty bad. But it has been improving, 10 years ago it didn't have WSL, 20 years ago it barely had any memory safety.
that's misdirection and bureaucratic hair splitting. surely if I'm not being precise about the roles of sub-agencies, this blob of code is trustworthy. on the inside, they're different agencies, but on the outside, it is absolutely not.

if you're doing cleared work you have obligations and spooks are spooks. Not only is it government, but it is part of DoD. DARPA isn't creating anti-state anarchist communications platforms in spite of the rest of law enforcement and the IC, and if they are, you'd be insane to trust them with your black market or terrorist operation, which is the only meaningful use case for measuring the integrity of an encrypted anonymous platform like the one being proposed.

the extremist example use case means that authorities are forced to use some legal method other than mass or passive interception to exploit it for evidence or to disrupt a plot. pretty sure DARPA isn't arming enemies like that, and if they are, they can provide something security pros can reason about instead of something for naive developers to play with.

And it is moving so much faster in runtime/compiler improvements. Implementation wise, it outdoes the Go at things Go is renown for.

The only last, and most critical piece of the puzzle that's missing is laser focus on simplicity of implementation. It is improving, but if you use generic composition and very terse writing style ala Rust traits and impl., pass data by `ref T`, occasionally manually manage the memory, you soon enough have people up in arms about this kind of unorthodox approach in the sphere of line of business applications (even when it tolerates that in other lower-level or just more limited languages, everything has to be abstracted away and very wordy).
