It seems like a stretch to argue that a world in which thousands of people are simultaneously injured or killed by an electronic device they had no reason to fear is not meaningfully changed by said event.

The world is in a continuous state of change, and the fact that these pager attacks are now in the public consciousness introduces a whole series of potential pathways of thought and action that wouldn’t have been explored if not for this event. This is in addition to gaining clarity about the world as it already was immediately prior to the attack, i.e. yes we were vulnerable, and an entity was in the process of actively exploiting that vulnerability. Now we're aware, and that awareness has/will initiate a new cascade of change.

ETA: I'm very curious to understand how/why people disagree with this.
True, but our OS has no idea what processes run on which GPU, or how much GPU memory they use. Everything on the GPU happens behind the back of the OS.
Not particularly unique at all. Handheld graphing calculators typically were not intended for use where hardware floating point was necessary. TI calculators historically used the Z80, no FPU. Earlier HP calculators did use a custom BCD based (not IEEE954) floating point ISA, but these are still slower than just about any processor in the past 30 years doing software floating point. They didn’t have any hardware multiply or divide for one, this is not an FPU in the modern sense people envision. And later on the HP used common ARMv5 based processors with emulation. None of these ARM processors had hardware floating point. Same with later TI calculators that were 68k and then ARM based.

The HP Prime G2 released in 2018 is about the only mainstream device that happens to have hardware FP, and that’s for a device more touted for CAS features. The FPU is more just something that comes for free with the commodity SoC chosen.

At least for my use case, which is Layout processing (i.e. must output tables in some kind of table format), the OCR part (Azure Document AI or AWS Textract) dominates the cost factor.

Running OCR on a document is twice more expensive than processing the output on the most expensive GPT offering. Intuitively, this was kind of unexpected for me. Only when I did some calculations on Excel that I realized it.

If you’re able to halve the pricing for Layout output then you’re unblocking lots of use cases out there.

Correction: At one point they said they were all-in on open source - 10 minutes after creating an innovative new open source product called ".net core", which is exactly like .net, but with all of the features you might actually be interested in stripped out.

Nobody in my circle talks about .net because we all saw immediately that it was just the same act again, if somewhat less openly hostile than Microsoft's previous MO.

AMD's "wavefront" is an obfuscated word for what NVIDIA calls "warp".

NVIDIA's "warp" is an obfuscated word for what has been called for many decades in the computer literature as "thread". (NVIDIA's "thread" is an obfuscated word that means something else than what it means in the non-NVIDIA literature.)

NVIDIA has thought that it is a good idea to create their own terminology where many traditional terms have been renamed without any reason. AMD has thought that it is a good idea to take the entire NVIDIA terminology and replace again all terms with other words.

winwang’s comment is correct, yours is wrong.

“cuda core” refers to one lane within the SIMT/SIMD ALUs. These lanes within a SMSP don’t execute independently.

The term SMSP is definitely used for nvidia’s architecture :

https://docs.nvidia.com/nsight-compute/ProfilingGuide/index....

> smsp

> Each SM is partitioned into four processing blocks, called SM sub partitions. The SM sub partitions are the primary processing elements on the SM.

(Note that this kernel profiling guide doesn’t use the term “cuda cores” at all)

Also there are 128 “cuda cores” per SM in 4090, not 64 :

Nice deflection but you're arguing in bad faith.

The OP is correct, since although the official Israel account is quote tweeting Shai Davidai, the most shameless zionist hasbarist on twitter, Israel's tweet is still self contained and is clearly trying to demonize and vilify the protestors as terrorists based on their "ideology" i.e. fighting back against your colonizer and oppressor is "terrorism" because any opposition to the racist colonial enterprise that is Israel has to be demonized and delegitimized by Zionists while they themselves engage in blatant terrorism. Israel's propaganda is so awful and lazy that it has become predictable. They will always hyperfocus on fringe cases, even manufacture such cases if they don't exist, in order to delegitimize the whole protest.

And anyone who actually followed the protests carefully has witnessed that Zionists were the aggressors trying to intimidate anyone who opposes Israel's actions in Gaza in any shape or form. Furthermore, the "they were intimidating jewish students" narrative has become so laughable at this point because zionists perceive any opposition to Israel as "intimidating" and so they are abusing the jewish identity as a shield to protect the israeli apartheid entity from criticism. People are sick and tired of this game because they have seen zionists playing these sick and twisted mind games for decades.
> I would rather have my junior spend 3 more days to understand the FSM we use to handle our front before changing anything than him adding 2 random useState an a random useEffect because it just works.

React hooks obsoleted most use of state management tools years ago (there is even a native useReducer now so you don't have to install Redux just for that), especially if they're using SSR (Next.js) where state management has been moved to the server. There are still some cases for installing a global state management library in the FE, but usually useState / useEffect and custom hooks is enough for most React projects.

The problem is you came up with a heuristic in your mind that "global state management is pro, useState is amateur" but that isn't true.

Lets use a real example: If I worked on your team and pushed a <LoginForm /> component that captured email/pass with useState, you would tell me to move the username and password to a global state management library? Why? Dogma? It would be the wrong call.
The lesson here is don’t split a control into two parts because developers will screw it up. Who prevented control designers from doing

<radio>foobar</radio>
<radio mark=end>foobar</radio>

and allowing a mark pseudoelement to participate in alignment? Or at least forcing everyone to use the input-in-label variant? Nobody.

But they split it, and now people without clear understanding how ui should work do it wrong by design and invent Monte Carlo methods to check if it works.

And it seems some crappy screenreaders don’t even recognize the proper form of it, adding salt to the cut.
This isn't entirely hypothetical. There was for example a US-German joint venture of the respectivel intelligence agencies that produced compromised encryption/security software. The primary market were of course hostile foreign countries but the US saw no problems also selling to its allies which the German agents balked at (because after all if they openly do this that means there's no reason to believe they wouldn't also do this to Germany).

Granted, infiltrating a supply chain to boobytrap devices to prep them for a coordinated act of state terrorism is a different beast from merely compromising encryption and communication but a certain level of paranoia seems warranted.

Show HN: Search Engine for Online Courses from California Community Colleges
I recently enrolled in a Japanese 101 course at my local California community college. It's a 12-week, 60-hour live course that costs around $200. I wanted to learn something new with more structure and rigor than on-demand online courses but without breaking the bank.

While exploring courses, I realized that navigating through different college websites with inconsistent interfaces was frustrating and time-consuming.

At Class Central, we thought it would be helpful to catalog these courses centrally. As an experiment, we've collected information from 10 out of the 116 California community colleges and aggregated over 3,000 online courses across various subjects.

While we haven't yet implemented a search feature in the user interface, you can search by modifying the URL. For example, to find Python courses, add "?q=python" to the end of the URL:
https://www.classcentral.com/collection/california-community...

This is an ongoing project. Depending on the response, we're considering expanding it to include more community colleges in California and potentially other regions for Spring 2025.

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve this resource.

I'm still getting familiar with the community college system, so I'd be particularly interested in hearing about your experiences with community colleges or similar systems around the world.

I did a backlight replacement on a S3000XL, a LCD replacement on S900, and found a cheap ($25?) LCD replacement for ASQ10 (same as MPC60/MPC3000).

Jazzcat + Ebay sell expensive replacements, but they are actually just cheap LCD displays with the driver circuit bypassed (since the MPC/sampler has a discreet IC) and an epoxy blob to prevent copycat work.

I need to dig up the wiring diagram, but the gist was from an EEVBlog forum post and only took an evening to reverse engineer.
> The most important question for an IA tool is: does it grow the person? Or does it create a dependency which ultimately weakens them?

While this is easy to agree with, there is a counterpoint (and a counter-counterpoint to that): EVEN a bicycle could weaken a person (assuming they're going the same distance). And LLM's can act as amplifiers (skilled devs can learn even faster).

The counterpoint can be found in failure, alignment, dependency, and control.

- (failure) We know how bikes fail, but think of Crowdstrike, or the Ford Pinto explosions. People have much less of an intuition for failure possibilities of cars, computers, and especially LLM's.

- (alignment) Faster = more fatigue, long trips = usually healthy, more weight = more effort, etc. A bike replacing running still keeps all those things true. The amounts are different, but the relationships are the same. With a car though, longer trips ≠ healthy, higher speed = 0 additional fatigue (100mph while falling asleep), more weight ≈ unnoticeable. Amplification isn't always aligned, and misalignment isn't always bad (books don't align with what they replaced). But when a replacement detaches a human from their instincts, there's a major risk.

- (dependency) The author mentioned dependency, but its important to point out that if a bike breaks, 99 times out of 100 times it's still possible to walk. Bikes rarely create a dependency. But think of Crowdstrike; there was no backup plan for many 911 services. Cars, computers, and LLM's are often dependency-forming (its good business for them to be)

- (control) Manufacturers have very limited control of a bike. Sure, people can't realistically manufacture their own bike. But once a bike is purchased the manufacturer is still pretty much cut out of the picture. Computers and cars used to be more that way, but now they're increasingly less so.

What’s really needed is some way you can easily tell that a device has been tampered with, but which is also extremely difficult to bypass. And also where even if the OEM was in on the scheme, you could still tell. Like how a hash is used to tell if someone made changes to a piece of software.
For consumer products this is a nonstarter because companies will almost never fully divulge info about all the parts of a device required for this.

For defence product where almost everything is fully specified by the customer, it might be possible. If you know all the components in a device, and you can prove they are all genuine, then you can prove the whole device is genuine.

Engraved hashes on every part comes to mind, but that would be ungainly to validate and fairly easy to bypass by simply copying codes from one device to another.
I’d give my left nut for a Google Home Mini powered by ChatGPT, but the article is suggesting this device will have a touch screen interface so it’s probably more like the Rabbit R1.

Knowing Ive, it’ll be thinner than anybody asked for, have mediocre battery life, and have a charging port on the bottom so you can’t use it while it’s charging because it’s flipped over.

I disagree with the way he made his point, but the facts look right. The S300XL apparently retailed for £1799.[1] that would have been ~$2800 USD at the time, or north of $5k in today’s dollars.

Do you think the official data published is 100% correct if they were trying to hide something?
