Wisdom cannot be taught, only self-learned. Think about all the wisdom that people tried to pass down to you when you were young, how much of it you actually internalised at the time vs what you had to learn by yourself and then had an "a-ha moment" when you noticed someone years before had warned you of it.

There's nothing Western governments or societies can do to steer a whole other society/culture, and I think you haven't really experienced other cultures truly if you think you can steer the voting population into better decisions.

It requires a well educated population to understand what "good governance" even means, it requires a stable, out of survival mode, society to reason about long term consequences to society vs short term individual benefits. When someone is barely surviving they will most often vote for someone who promises them a better life, without critical thinking (stemming from my 1st point on education) there's no way for the individual to understand complex issues and why a populist won't solve it.
That's all I wanted to accomplish, thank you for your response.

The natural notation fitting our spoken language combined with the left-to-right writing system used for it is big-endian. Which is what we use.
While Vulkan can be a good fallback, for LLM inference at least, the performance difference is not as insignificant as you believe. I just ran a test on the latest pull just to make sure this is still the case on llama.cpp HEAD, but text generation is +44% faster and prompt processing is +202% (~3X) faster with ROCm vs Vulkan.

Note: if you're building llama.cpp, all you have to do is swap GGML_HIPBLAS=1 and GGML_VULKAN=1 so the extra effort is just installing ROCm? (vs the Vulkan devtools)

Foreign interference is only something other countries do to us. We never interfere in their politics. /s

I think you need to look into the CIA playbook. They're doing this actively, have been doing this for decades. Even lots of allied "democratic" countries are effectively just puppet states of the US: yeah people get to elect, but their foreign policy is solidly controlled by the US. They don't have real sovereignty, and without sovereignty they don't have real democracy.
Uncharitably, I think this article headline is just ragebait.

It made me feel "an AI event (yuck) hired a comedian (implying they wanted something non-insulting). The comedian roasted them (lol, the comedian did that instead? The AI event deserved it! I hope they feel bad about themselves)". I think that was the intended effect of the headline, which as you mentioned doesn't really make sense, which is why I call it ragebait.

It happens all the time on the OS/carrier/manufacturer side. I've personally seen settings reverted, software installed without notice, etc. It's a lot harder to say what any random cell tower in range is able to do but the chipsets are closed source and have their own OS.

Manufacturers and carriers have had it in their terms of service that they can do it.

Here's what tmobile had in their ToS:

We may remotely change software, systems, applications, features or programming on your Device without notice. These changes will modify your Device and may affect or erase data you have stored on your Device, the way you have programmed your Device, or the way you use your Device. You will not be able to use your Device during the installation of the changes, even for emergencies.

Hey, thanks. I don't think they are good on the privacy front (they actually share/sell your data with marketing and ad partners; at least they are upfront about it in their P&Cs).

> You need to also consider the energy use of the activity that is replaced.

Jevons Paradox directly contradicts this, replacing an activity with more efficient means doesn't correlate to a decrease in resource consumption.
I’m not sure what you mean by that, your post was about the wests dependence on Pakistan, I assume you mean economically. ECHR is important, but I don’t see the relevance in the context of a powerful nations dependence on a less powerful one.

They do manufacture antibiotics. That’s in some sense the source of the problem: they don’t regulate them enough resulting in excessive usage. This breeds resistant strains.
Look at some Arabic text, they use the same "number endianess" as we do, and the Arabs is where we got our numbers from. I bet it was a historical accident that we didn't reverse the written numbers when adopting the decimal system into our left-to-right writing system. In some Germanic languages the spoken numbers (for the last two digits at least) are even still reversed from the writing, eg "twenty-five" is "five-and-twenty" in German - same in "old English" btw).

PS: interesting tidbit, apparently "old" Arabic was reading numbers strictly from right-to-left (eg one-and-ten-and-hundred), but later switched to a more "western convention" of starting with the major digits. Would be interesting how it worked in the original Hindu system (where the Arabs learned of the decimal system).
So you’re assuming consent unless there’s someone there to deny it? Gross.
These package respositories are used in a wasteful way. Probably by thousands of CI servers spinning up blank slate docker containers etc.
Meh, I replaced the battery in a 1st gen (2016) iphone SE, per the ifixit instructions. The home pushbutton didn't work afterwards. Repeated disassembly and reassembly didn't help. No useful advice on ifixit forum. Unclear what if anything to try next. Luckily the phone was long obsolete by then, so replaced. Repairability of these things sucks and I miss swappable batteries.
They tried a similar experiment first, called the water drop experiment. It was intended to work in the exact same way, except with the obvious parameter varied: they would use water instead of oil.

The reason the water drop experiment failed was that the bright lamps they used to look at the drops evaporated the water too quickly.[1] Such a relatable experience!

I feel this is incomplete without considering a corporate tax-motive, where the company needs a certain number of butts-in-downtown-seats in order to retain certain beneficial "job promoting" arrangements.

More generally, a large number of employees with a definite location provides a certain kind of political influence to the company for lobbying purposes.
This is just defending anti-R2R. It's more costly to buy and swap different screwdrivers for all the Apple repair, manufacturing centres, etc. Apple doesn't care about customers opening up their devices - they'll outright reject the claim. This is a bad take.

I'm not sure why you think I'm talking about presidents.

Go and have a look at who the sorts of people I'm talking about are, you'll find a lot of rich white people dressing-down. Who do you think their parents are?

I don't see where I said this.

WASPs have fallen from the presidency to bitching in newspapers, sure; and in random social organisations. That's my point. Their children are now bleeding-heart vipers going around, as their parents did, inserting themselves in positions of power as best they are able: "Representing" the interests of other groups who've they've almost no experience or understanding of.

If you havent noticed yet, have a look. When you see this kind of intra-elite warefare taking place, go look at the pictures of who's involved. Have a look at their bios. It's often a lot of upper-middle class white children playing games.

Go walk into one of the top universities in the world.

You don’t need to tell me that. I didn’t use the term “AI”, I just quoted the other post and responded in what I understood to be their terms. I don’t think LLMs are intelligent, thus not AI. You’re nitpicking the wrong person.
I also think they mostly provide the connection setup, actual traffic should travel directly between the peers most of the time.

Looks like the UFS card interface only has one lane, but phones have been using two lanes for more performance for a long time. Samsung is planning a four-lane UFS solution for next year, but it's not clear whether that's intended for phones or laptops (their Snapdragon X Elite laptop uses UFS rather than NVMe). And the removable UFS cards standards have tended to lag behind by a few years on link speed, so it's really a 4x discrepancy in bandwidth between soldered UFS and removable UFS cards.

In theory, something like UFS cards could have performance parity with soldered UFS (at least for the link speed; not sure if a package that small is adequate from a power/thermal perspective when stuffed with 1TB of NAND). But UFS cards have been dead on arrival in the market several times now, so it's understandable that nobody wants to try an even more ambitious version in the hopes that it can finally catch on.
Sam's post reads like it was written by an AI. And that makes it kind of creepy, because that's a lot of sugarcoating when it comes to AI being useful one day.
Pakistan has had a western nation rule over it before and it didn't exactly go well. It's also not exactly a well-run nation that can tweak a few things to solve excesses like with antibiotics. Warnings about the overuse of antibiotics go back to the 1950s. This isn't something that will come to a surprise to anyone, and it isn't even an impossible challenge to overcome.

Here in the Netherlands, antibiotics usage in the meat industry was absurdly high until a bit over a decade ago, despite decades of warnings. And as a side note, I would classify the way the country has been run for all of my adult life as poorly governed, with elected officials constantly lying, government parties trying to work around the law rather than comply leading to several crises, and just general mismanagement. It's not Pakistani army bad, but it certainly warrants warnings from other countries.

As for Pakistan: If I were their leader, knowing about things like vaccination centres ran by the CIA to secretly hunt down and kill Taliban soldiers in search of Bin Laden, I'd be wary of warnings coming from the West. I wouldn't much trust foreign charities to install clean water infrastructure either, because that's far from the only time they've been used as a front.

Are your leaders listening to the warnings coming from Bejing, Brussels, Israel, the Kremlin, and Washington? Would you even trust what they say is in your interest? I wouldn't exactly put it past foreign intelligence agencies to spread typhoid in areas of interest just so they could come in and "help cure" everyone.
Are these elements friction-fit? That seems to be a majorly bad idea if you want to handle loads, especially if you want these fixtures to be permanent.
A speck of grease or oil could make your structure collapse.

Doubly bad, the friction seems to be created by screws that can get loose with time/ not be tightened with the proper torque.

Also, an Europe specific thing (I think), is that we don't use metallic pipes for electric wiring, we use PVC.
I realize it may not seem that way, but even under Trump the Republicans are still quite a bit stronger on the pro-business pro-liberty agenda than political parties in other countries. Also Trump only really matters at the federal level, whereas a lot of the decisions that matter for this UK vs USA discussion take place at the local level. It's more about the councillors and governors than the President or the Prime Minister. That's where permitting decisions are taking place for instance.

Not a personal jab, but I am astounded how every day, HN is full of discussion around how articles, newsletters, podcasts, and videos need to be aggregated and summarized for actual consumption. Repeat ad infinitum in both directions.

In my experience, I’ve always listened to live discussions or read long form blog posts, specifically for the story and obscure points being made. Summaries never capture that and always miss nuances.
There will be grates but fish are small and obviously grates must have holes in them.
Cool but probably not that interesting to the development of AI in Hollywood over the longer term. As the tech improves, at current rates, I expect we'll see something like VTubers on a mass scale. Companies creating their own virtual people - where they control the IP - and putting all their efforts behind promoting them instead of humans. It'll be cheaper and easier in the long run.

Same process as green screens or the rise of animation. There is a lot of pressure on the humans and once AIs crack acting they'll be much more consistently good than humans.

I run a WP focused agency and can say that apart from the absolutely shitty sales tactics WPEngine are a solid choice for probably 90% of the sites out there.

The criticism outlined by Matt in this article is related to their lack of engagement with the open source community around WordPress and their unwillingness to significantly contributing to the project.

I seriously had no idea they only contributed a tiny amount (40 hours per week) and I know of other (larger) agencies like mine who do more than this so I hope WPE pull their finger out and implement a better strategy to give back.
SendGrid ran our own data centers and scaled massively. Yes, orders to dell took forever and we were often worried if we were going to have enough compute. It worked out to be vastly cheaper than aws but we still moved load into their cloud to help new projects spin up and burst activity. And moving over to managed services eventually became our default, not because it was monetarily cheaper, but because it let teams develop faster.
But who wants to fight constantly? Frankly that seems more unhealthy than a chill pill for appetite.

Sealing electrical stuff from water is literally 19th century tech. Plenty of underwater flashlights exist even today. If they just lose the obsession with thinness in phones, almost every other problem becomes trivial to solve. Instead they make the ultra thin, breakable phone, and then users put it in a protective case which eliminates the thinness anyway.
> But the price of energy can be negative

Is this a sign of over-investment?

Is it case that the metric we're using does not show the actual price? https://www.squeaky.energy/blog/the-unintended-consequences-... shows a way to get "free" electricity on a regular basis, while it still costs consumers a very non-zero amount. In the case of solar, revenue could be achieved through out-of-market payments (CfD, power purchase agreements, renewable energy certificates).
