32% of Japanese people watching anime is pretty damn mainstream. Marvel is indisputably some of the most mainstream US media in the past 20 years and yet "only" ~50% of the US population has seen a Marvel movie.[0]

I've not grown up in the US, and I know only about Bojack. And even that from a few memes I've seen.

Around 20 years ago, I tried watching a few US cartoons and comics to get better acquainted with the culture, but they were all pretty bad.

My understanding is that 2bsd is 16 bit clean, which is most of the reason it is still around. A nice OS to run on your 16-bit micro controllers.

However when trying to fact check myself, I found many of the architecture targets are 32-bit, so I may be wrong about this.

> Watching a video here or there isn't a good way to assess a threat

Point is, your risk assessment skills are so incredibly off-base that you need to see what happens when you let armed robbers back on the street. You do not understand what the threat of violence is in the real world.
I've always liked memes and anime for their entertainment. Though I've always cringed when people feel the need to try to bring them into their work or work life.
> he can imagine wars being fought over AI

I wonder how did he come to such a prediction. When was the last time we had a war over advanced tech? Armies didn't fight over telegraph, radio, phones and cars.

A war to get AI would also be foolish. A few hundred bombs from your adversaries and AI won't have electricity to function.
There's something to be said about Waifu lists transcending anime genres / subgenres. I would say compared to 70s-90s anime landscape, stylisitically anime / east asian animation has converged a lot. At least mainstream stuff - we've nearly reached peak moe, there's still seasonable optimizations / stylistic tweaks here and there - but IMO it's fair to suggest convergence in waifu/husbando aesthetic has driven and is driving a lot of growth, and it's fair to put everything under umbrella for extrapolating market trends. I feel animes' ability to make fans horny and the increasing culture around anime fandom (now) unabashedly wanking over their affection/fondness over random constructed characters across genres is... potent.

I had a similar issue with geese on a patch of grass in front of the house where the kids played. Flocks of geese in the 10s would ruin it in half a day.

I found a 532nm green laser to be extremely effective. Let the dot approach them and shine near their feet for best effect. (Of course avoid the eyes and keep the laser power down so the reflection doesn’t harm them either!). It took some time to get into the flocks psyche. You had to get the entire group distress level to a certain level before they would take off and leave.

The next step I got to was building a turret for the pointer. Goose detection image recognition was underway to make the system autonomous but I haven’t been able to finish it and have moved in the mean time so it’s not likely I’ll finish it.

explains your choice. Based on how other modern isekais typically go, it definitely starts out looking like this one is going to go down a similar route, but it really doesn't. The overall character development for the main character is about him figuring out how to relate to others and develop healthy relationships instead of the fixations and fears he started with.
You do not have to have a majority of people consuming something to be considered mainstream.

TFA quotes 31-32% of people (young and old) in Japan as anime watchers. That is very mainstream!

Your argument is like trying to claim Metallica is not mainstream. Sure, most people do not listen to them, but everyone has heard of them. I would wager back in the day less than 32% of people listened to Michael Jackson.

This is being discussed in the context of the Chinese test which required memorizing enormous numbers of facts. An example question for a train test requires knowing human anatomy to the degree of classifying individual organs.

I am failing to see how that is anything but blocking those who cannot dedicate themselves to the test.
I think it’s mostly me. In another comment you mentioned the live—action Netflix One Piece adaptation as live action anime, and I think that description actually felt somewhat apropos in that specific case, due to the adaptation employing lots of CGI and special effects to ape the style and mannerisms of the anime.

I think finding the term live action anime slightly off is my own issue, as I also find the term Japanimation also slightly grating. It probably has something to do with being a fan of a historically somewhat mocked/maligned subculture.

Yes you are correct that jumps in intelligence were enabled by exponential increases in scale. That makes me more bullish on AI, not less. It suggests that we can continue exponentially scaling compute like we have done for the past few decades, and also get intelligence improvements from it.
That's pretty ironic, considering the mental gymnastics you have been doing to justify spreading thousands of explosive devices while calling the other side terrorists.

So I guess the militants who died and were executed during the Warsaw uprising also deserved it, as they were part of a non nation state armed group and thus could be shot and executed even when unarmed. That's somehow okay according to your interpretation of international laws lol.

It's genuinely impressive to me that you can tool up the Shenzhen axolotl tanks and make any kind of unofficial screen for any phone, let alone an iPhone, without vendor support, and have it work and fit, and get to market in time.

Going back to OP’s original constraints, what would you 3D print to meet this?

Desalinization at scale produces a LOT of brine. Like, way more than anyone needs. The evaporation pools would need to be gargantuan to service SoCal. State of California uses about 5maf of water (non-ag; with agriculture, much much more). That's is 6 cubic km of brine, per year. Say we service SoCal, that's 3 km^3 of brine per year... The entire salton sea is 7km^3. And that is only residential/commercial use like drinking water.

Which basin don't we care about? The desert is not "outside the environment" especially at that scale. There are critters living even in the most godforsaken areas of Anza Borrego. We are talking an environmental catastrophe, something like the Aral Sea.

Experiments are HARD. There is a joke among physicists that theoreticians are washed up by 35 but experimentalists don't even get started until 45.

To make a physics experiment work you have to be ridiculous about recording details and have a strong intuition. You have to design the experiment such that you can differentiate between "hypothesis wrong" and "equipment doesn't work" because you don't know the answer.

(For example: When they turned on LIGO for the first time, they almost immediately caught a great event. Huge victory party, right? Nope. They promptly ignored it assuming that something was wrong with the machine. And it was only after significant post analysis and correlation that they decided that it was a real event.)

There's a grain of truth here. A huge grain. The US comics were long stunted by the Comics Code of 1954: http://www.mit.edu/activities/safe/labeling/comics-code-1954

It had been revised a bunch of times, but arguably it went away only in early 2000-s. Mostly because of the anime/manga influence.

iPhone 16 Pro Storage Expansion 128GB to 1TB [video]
In 1676 Roemer estimated the speed of light by timing the orbit of Jupiter’s moon Io, noting that as the Earth approached Jupiter, Io emerged from behind Jupiter a little earlier every day, and as the Earth traveled away from Jupiter it appeared a little later every day, with the time of day varying by 22 minutes over a year. Knowing the difference between the two distances, he reckoned that light travels that distance in 22 minutes, or 227 thousand km/s. The actual speed is about 300 thousand km/s. Not bad!

Well once again it turns out that what is hard for people is easy for computers, and vice versa. The things we go to college for 6 years for they can (relatively) master in a week of pretraining. We are optimized to smartly kill things, eat them, and reproduce, that's what machines will beat us at last lol. Right now a human expert is still obviously better in depth, but nowhere close in breadth. Probably not for much longer though, at least on the historical time scale.

And granted a lot of parts of the human brain are dedicated to specific jobs that are entirely nonexistent in a normal LLM (kinematics, vision, sound, touch, taste, smell, autonomic organ control) so the actual bit we should be comparing for just language and reasoning is way smaller. Still the brain is pretty efficient inference energy wise, it's like the ultimate mixture of experts, extreme amounts of sparse storage and most of it is not computed until needed. The router must be pretty good.
You’re making your programs orders of magnitude slower to the back of claims that have absolutely zero metric demonstration.

>simplifies a lot of things

Runtime immutability simplifies nothing.

>avoids common problems related to concurrency

While simultaneously creating new problems. Like fine, you cannot make an edit on an object out from under the rug of another thread… except that in most cases, you have now just made that old object into invalid state that is lingering around your program like a death trap and to get around this, you are forced in to some pretty terrible synchronization bullshit that just locking objects doesn’t suffer from.

>Implementing CoW is not too difficult

The single greatest predictor of defects for every single language ever is “lines of code”. Implementing CoW sounds straight forward, but actually, incorrect CoW is a common source of bugs and you are just hand waving that away.
Sorry about that! To keep friction low and to avoid people voting in the wrong state on purpose there's no way to select your location. In a future iteration I want to relax this but not sure how yet.
For the electronics I would expect it’s fine. The oscillators should be sealed. Whatever is inside the MEMS cavity would be okay. Now, all the mechanical stuff presumably expects some sort of normal atmospheric pressure, so YMMV on speakers, haptics, and any of the camera OIS. It’s all water sealed these days, though.

> to put AI into the hands of as many people as possible, we need to drive down the cost of compute and make it abundant (which requires lots of energy and chips)

Not really. The problem is that learning requires scale, mostly of data. That scale places AI providers at the nexus of value, with OpenAI as the presumptive market organizer and leader. Reducing compute costs would just mean they can capture more of the value. Data costs orders of magnitudes more than compute because it requires curation, so even if individual developers could get compute, they can't get data, so size/access matters.

That's good for this community and could be good for the state of the art and the overall potential contributions of AI. And more paying customers could be good for OpenAI. But it won't put AI in front of non-paying customers/developers, unless their value is otherwise harvested.

> I don't want ASI to only be affordable to the ultra rich.

As a developer or consumer?

And you don't mean it's ok if AI is only affordable for the moderately rich, do you? I agree it's hard to state which developers/people/customers should be subsidized. Generally we subsidize education but not profit or war. Sometimes culture. Companies will subsidize complementary goods and input factors. Otherwise? Not much history of benevolent subsidy.

AI has as much potential to shape society as freeways and the automobile did in the US, but few understand how, and I've seen no plans on point.

With electric energy networks and transportation, the central government has a role in reducing hostaging by hold-out's. With education, states have an incentive to attract and build talent (albeit now reduced with trans-national outsourcing and remote work). But otherwise, it's private enterprise and resource-weighted customers.

Changing that is not really Sam Altman's job. His job is to deliver that value, sooner rather than later. Most would be uncomfortable with AI overlords expressing opinions on cultural values or economic distributions to be imposed.

It is true that Hy really shines in those cases where it adopts an existing Python feature and adds meaningful quality-of-life improvements: anonymous functions without limitations; multiple iteration in for-loops; relaxed character set for identifiers. Things that seem completely obvious, once you have them.

It also demonstrates that elegance in a Lisp-on-Python is reached in a very different way than elegance in a stand-alone language, since it becomes an art of making the best out of what is already there.
I like that about Anime. I think part of my it and Manga have such a broad spectrum is because it is relatively cheap to produce - meaning the companies bankrolling production are less risk averse, and as a result lots more weird ideas get to be tried.

You do not have to watch too much of it to get the sense that writers are just going nuts tossing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks. Endless remixing of ideas from what came before, and outside influences.

Example: Legend of Black Heaven, which featured a middle aged retired rockstar guitar player working as a software engineer, who is tracked down by aliens to get him to use his guitar playing as a weapon in an intergalactic war. Sure, why not? Is it good? Debatable. Have you seen anything like it before? Unlikely.
Hey HN, we recently fine-tuned the llama3.1 405B model on 8xAMD MI300x GPUs using JAX instead of PyTorch. JAX's advanced sharding APIs allowed us to achieve great performance. Check out our blog post to learn about the cool sharding tricks we used. We've also open-sourced the code: https://github.com/felafax/felafax

We're a small startup building AI infra for fine-tuning and serving LLMs on non-NVIDIA hardware (TPUs, AMD, Trainium).

Problem: Many companies are trying to get PyTorch working on AMD GPUs, but we believe this is a treacherous path. PyTorch is deeply intertwined with the NVIDIA ecosystem in a lot of ways (e.g., `torch.cuda` or scaled_dot_product_attention is an NVIDIA CUDA kernel exposed as a PyTorch function). So, to get PyTorch code running on non-NVIDIA hardware, there's a lot of "de-NVIDIAfying" that needs to be done.

Solution: We believe JAX is a better fit for non-NVIDIA hardware. In JAX, ML model code compiles to hardware-independent HLO graphs, which are then optimized by the XLA compiler before hardware-specific optimization. This clean separation allowed us to run the same LLaMA3 JAX code both on Google TPUs and AMD GPUs with no changes.

Our strategy as a company is to invest upfront in porting models to JAX, then leverage its framework and XLA kernels to extract maximum performance from non-NVIDIA backends. This is why we first ported Llama 3.1 from PyTorch to JAX, and now the same JAX model works great on TPUs and runs perfectly on AMD GPUs.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on our vision and repo!

I’m saying this in the context of the root comment claim that there is anime for everyone. Only a very few anime series are mainstream in the same sense that Marvel movies are mainstream. Continuing that analogy, most anime series are more akin to serialized superhero comics, which are only read by relatively few. Looking at the shape of the distribution here is important.
Why wouldn’t they, honestly? The displays are presumably mostly standard display interfaces with some custom protocols around some control. Year over year I doubt there are truly major changes to the protocols and mechanics, it becomes a form factor and fitting statement. Also, given most of this stuff is manufactured in that region… the domain knowledge is there.
Presumably they don't repeat the same questions so I don't really see how the past question bank is so helpful when the possible subject matter is incredibly broad. That said apparently what I've heard is wrong and people do manage to pass these just by studying.
