The UK emerged from WWII massively indebted to the US. That's not entirely unrelated to the UK's position post-war.
User identity must be derived from security context, typically at the edge of the system.

But it’s so much easier for developers to think of userid as just another parameter, and they forget, and oops now they trust a random user-supplied parameter.
Good a place as any to ask I guess. Do any of these GPU libraries have a BiCGStab (or similar) that handles multiple right hand sides? CuPy seems to have GMRES, which would be fine, but as far as I can tell it just does one right hand side.
Getting Americans to accept the metric system is probably a taller order than getting them to accept nuclear power.

Truly. I was looking for a privacy respecting Chromium-based browser to use for Web MiniDisc (https://web.minidisc.wiki/) and came across some enthusiastic praise for Arc. I downloaded it and it immediately wanted me to create an account to even use it. How can that possibly respect my privacy? It went right in the trash.
I believe the idea is that openpilot replaces the usual robotics stack with an end to end neural net.

I don't have a cell phone that can receive SMS but I do have Skype. I live in a cell phone dead spot and spend a lot of time on the highways of Upstate NY which has cell phone dead spots in it larger than some European countries.

If I need to make a phone call or look something up I stop at a gas station which always has WiFi. Both intercity and city buses have WiFi. NYC subway has WiFiWhen I need to use the Ticketmaster app to get into a stadium I can use the WiFi at the stadium; I've managed to get my bags in and out of a LuggageHero even if it meant running two blocks to use the WiFi at a Starbucks.

One app I can't use is WhatsApp because it needs a carrier-tied SMS to verify. If you do the same you are locking me out as a user.

But that's exactly the opposite of what is happening - allowing third parties to construct itineraries that compete with the ones that are being sold by the airlines results in a competitor; not an enabler; for yield management purposes.
baseload is base load, not base generation. Base generation is not a thing.

Way back when, they realized that grids had a base load below which it never dropped. They realized that if they designed some of their plants without the expensive features which allowed them to be turned on and off quickly, they could build plants cheaper.

You don't design grids for base load, you design grids for peak load in all scenarios. If you can handle peak, you can also handle base.

Baseload is for cost optimization. And nuclear is a horrible way to optimize cost.
Most major airlines support this. Search for "Los Angeles" on Southwest, for example, and you can simultaneously choose from LAX, Burbank, Long Beach, Ontario, or any number of airports across the region.

If you bother to download LM Studio,fire up a model and start playing with it and looking into the details you will be smacked in the face with the enormity of the technology and how many man hours it is going to take to actually make good on it in every company.

It will create far more jobs than it eliminates. And yes, the purpose is to remove jobs and make skilled people more effective.

I realized that one day when we have a breakthrough in energy production and battery tech it will usher in an age where we have robots that can move about, find energy sources, and have the knowledge and capability to reproduce themselves. Whatever we all write online and offline will be the sum of that beings' knowledge as it eventually makes its way into the cosmos without us. We are the creator.
Yeah it was on the supported list when I bought it in October of 2023. The website asks your make/model/year when you buy if I recall correctly, that's how it tells you which harness to get.

I found out I needed to update some files in the firmware, followed the guide for that. Asked for help in the Discord. I could never get it working though and returned it after a week. I was going to hang on to it and harass people on Discord, but didn't want to lose track of time and go beyond the return window. Believe me, I really wanted it to work.

Looks like it was added to the supported list before the explicit support I guess

Point 1 means that e.g. the GDPR doesn't mandate a specific implementation. It describes the outcome, which is quite reasonable.

Point 2: you can't check/verify if parties, especially those outside the jurisdiction of the EU, really honor things like the 'don't track' flag.

It's unfortunate that so many companies decide to implement the requirements in the laziest and sleaziest possible ways.
Maybe.

Probably, if "future" means 50+ years, so two generations in future.

But not if it means "future" in even overlapping the current nuclear plants that are EOL, 10, 20 even 30 years. Because to replace those nuclear EOL with other nuclear, we'd need to start building plants in 2014, 2015 (which we didn't). The next best time may be now, but "We", at least in Europe aren't doing that either, and AFAIK neither in the US.

TBC: I'm not saying "it won't work, so stop chasing it" on contrary. But shoehorning "fission" into a discussion of a current energy crisis, what this article is about, isn't relevant. Such tech isn't for today, tomorrow. Not even for when your kids grow, up, but at most for your grandkids when they are working - horizons.
Yeah, that process at least was painless
> But if everyone connects to a different IP I dont see how traffic analysis helps you discover you is connecting with the cia.

I assume that they're connecting multiple times with the CIA - it's not just a one and done drop. That's trivial to look at - if you see someone connecting repeatedly to an IP address that doesn't associate with any known website/service and you see them do it consistently then that's suspicious.

Maybe if the IP addresses rotated it wouldn't be as noticeable, but if you're going over the clearnet then you can't disguise the IP address you're connecting to (short of proxies but then you're giving up the IP address of the proxies).
> The notion of "carrying one's cross" was more about finding virtue in suffering

Different denominations and even different churches within a denomination will have different views on this[1]. That being said it's obvious your opinion is based on that experience but please know that this isn't the only viewpoint.

So much of church is based in communal relationships. In Acts, Paul makes it very clear that members and even church leaders should live "life together". To not may not necessarily be considered sinful, but it certainly leaves a gap in one's soul - Paul saw this early and gave the warning.

> "bearing one's cross"...it attaches the idea that it's your lot in life to suffer these specific things

> if I do something that I later regret deeply, the church says "you fucked up, and now you must feel bad about it"

> A more reasonable mindset is to use the regret as a signal that change is needed.

Again, I think these are distinctions in opinion based on individual denominations and churches. In the SBC it's often taught the way you desire - acknowledge the mistake by admitting it to yourself and God, and fix it. Even mistakes for which there may be no real victim (other than you) - wipe the slate clean and try again (which is the whole point of Baptism).

[1] Christianity is often seen as one thing but few understand the wide range in opinions, doctrine, canonical interpretations that exists. There are churches that openly support gay marriage and even abortion while others consider it a sin, to pick two hot topics. Scoping things just to Christianity should come with the understanding that even that may not be crystal clear, so I do apologize for not being clear earlier.

If you’re alone you basically have only 2 options:

1. Be on a fresh wild and growing market where everybody grows (like ai as overhyped as it is).

2. Be soo good at something, at least in a single critical feature, that every customer you have feels a relief and becomes your word of mouth channel. It’s not always hard, since most b2c products suck. But its not that easy too, because solo founders tend to have b2c mentality where they see for instance a better UX a killer feature. That is often not the case for b2b.

Anything else means basically competing with bigger players for customers. Guess who has more money to win the game?

Replying just because you said since it's still not clear at all:

I assumed that you meant that the government could significantly cut income taxes, raise corporate taxes and end up with the same or higher amount of money. I just don't see how is that feasible unless US could force most other countries in the world to do the same.
they could use renewables?
I find these perspectives to be steeped in sexist and outdated stereotypes. Women know if men are attracted to them. It's OK! That does not need to hinder the relationship at all. And no friendship is "100% honest and true" until that relationship has endured many years of change and challenges. Those situations are so rare that it would be foolish and sad to pretend it can only occur with specific gender sets.

I'm guessing/hoping you are fairly young because though I can see how these perspectives make a lot of sense in the early part of life, by the time we are adults we should view these ides as simplistic and silly.
Better at reasoning based on benchmarks or what?
I was just thinking we didn’t have enough CUDA-accelerated numpy libraries.

Ah yes. Some people use airplanes so we need to keep burning coal, who cares when the sea levels rise and the water wars begin! The important thing is that some people acted silly by gluing themselves to the road! Can't give in to them, even if it would save the world for our children.
> AMD indicated from the beginning they wanted it to become the universal API.

Was it an indication or was there any actual work done? Such as supporting anything else but AMD cards for example, inviting others to collaborate etc.?

> despite Mantle being "proprietary", MS directly used it to create DX12

I can't remember the term for it: what do you call when a single company develops something with little to no external input and collaboration, even if it's sorta kinda open?

As for "NIH"... Microsoft has/had a much bigger investment and interest in new gaming APIs than the few AMD cards that Mantle supported. And they already had their own platform, their own APIs etc. Makes sense for them to move forward without waiting for anyone

Needs a name. Meowr? Hissr?
In the modern era (since 1971), there have been hundreds of thousands of miles run, and 2 single car accidents, 1 of which was a team that would never have been invited currently, and the other accident was literally driven away from.

I know you only drive highly focused, and don't e.g. eat food or drink or adjust your radio (go look at the numbers!), so you certainly have the right to say this.

Because if you did, you'd be more dangerous than these "childish racing games".
Very fast database creates are also useful for db integration testing.
This is 100% company culture, probably the ones that decide this kind of things are not technical or don't understand how important is this.
When building something that I want to run on both CPU and GPU, depending, I’ve found it much easier to use PyTorch than some combination of NumPy and CuPy. I don’t have to fiddle around with some global replacing of numpy.* with cupy.*, and PyTorch has very nearly all the functions that those libraries have.

Platform wise, the equivalent would be if they combined Excel, PowerBI, Data Factory and Azure into a single tool.

Technically you can combine these, but it’s a cumbersome experience and difficult for most people. Vertically integrating their equivalents simplifies things a lot.

(Small note: we don’t currently offer Python to users but likely will at some point)
We are fans! We mostly use cudf/cuml/cugraph (GPU dataframes etc) in the pygraphistry ecosystem, and when things get a bit tricky, cupy is one of the main escape hatches
hmm gee I wonder was it worth to value the bug bounty at $2500 given the severity of both the bug and sheer lack skills of the browser company staff...it might even be a reputation destroyed event...
See this is the point where I think it gets interesting because it can be as a low effort prompt once and post whatever the answer without any tweaking (often empty and easy to spot). But I also see it can take longer noodling on an AI answer than just writing the comment oneself would take (as I think this part of the thread illustrates).

I have no problem with people using AI to help articulate their thoughts, avoiding ambiguity, improving concision etc. I think how much effort goes into reviewing AI output and iterating on it is what makes the difference between easy to spot and passing as a real human answer...

"muti-dimension transaction classification (for FP&A)" - The data for internal management/operational financial reporting and budgeting/forecasting/modeling (ie. FP&A) may be quite different than those used for GAAP financial reporting and taxes. The multiple dimensions allows for added "tagging" which can be used to enrich a transaction with more information. An example would be using a dimension of "department" to classify a transaction as belonging to a certain team. Yes, QB has one dimension called "class" but more enterprise systems allow for 10+ or even unlimited. As I mentioned, you only get to needing this once the company is quite large or has more complex financial data needs.

I don't know exactly what QB Enterprise has but one of the complaints I hear often that that consolidation with multiple entities and multiple currencies is difficult or not possible without additional tools using QB

tomhoward is correct. It's called "virtual interlining". I started the team that built it at Hopper (started working on it in Fall 2020 and we launched our first version in Fall 2021). They're called Mix & Match fares on the Hopper app. It's a really hard problem. So hard that we didn't even try to solve the "best" flight. We used a bunch of heuristics to find what we believed would be "better" flights. We measured what we called "beat rate" which was the rate that a VI flight was the cheapest on our flight list. When I left the team, our beat rate was around 0.5 (so a VI flight was the cheapest half the time).
>WSL

Ah, that explains part of why I couldn't find it. I was searching mainly for WGSL. Something Like 'WEBGPU minutes "Unity" "HLSL" "WGSL"'. There was also WHLSL also from Apple at one point but was later droppped in favor of WSL.[0][1]

>A few months ago we discussed a proposal for a new shading language called Web High-Level Shading Language, and began implementation as a proof of concept. Since then, we’ve shifted our approach to this new language, which I will discuss a little later in this post.

>[...]

>Because of community feedback, our approach toward designing the language has evolved. Previously, we designed the language to be source-compatible with HLSL, but we realized this compatibility was not what the community was asking for. Many wanted the shading language to be as simple and as low-level as possible. That would make it an easier compile target for whichever language their development shop uses.

>[...]

>So, we decided to make the language more simple, low-level, and fast to compile, and renamed the language to Web Shading Language to match this pursuit.2

The "we designed the language to be source-compatible with HLSL, but we realized this compatibility was not what the community was asking for" comment is funny because Unity's "We care about HLSL" comment seems to be directly against this.

In any case, this is really a disappointing move from Apple. Just another example of them ignoring developers – even large developers like Adobe and Unity – over completely petty disputes and severe NIH.

The craziest line in the post is probably "[WSL] would make it an easier compile target for whichever language their development shop uses." It's like they knew people wanted SPIR-V but they wouldn't do it due to some petty legal drama that Apple invented and then chose literally the worst of all worlds by making yet another compile target instead of at least choosing the next best thing which would be something that is compatible with HLSL.

"Sadly, it's a bit off a snake oil. These long context embedding models have tested basically all of them, not really working well. So it's [best length of chunks] something between like 500 and 1,000 tokens."

Text embeddings are far from perfect.

They struggle with long documents.

They struggle with out-of-domain-data.

They struggle to incorporate additional factors like recency or trustworthiness.

How can we fix this?

Interesting, so how do you manage when a service you want to use requires a phone number or send an OTP? Would it make sense to offer to send an OTP through Skype or other online messaging channel like Viber?
Apple-focused journalists have historically been especially egregious. Nilay Patel and Josh Topolsky took their maddening approach of covering the Engadget homepage in inane, separate articles for every minute detail of a product announcement (starting with the iPad) to The Verge, and its "success" caused the strategy to propagate onward. No more concise write-ups; it's all about keeping you in a deathloop on the platform. Gotta milk those cult clicks, you know.
To your point, my theory is that all their other tech efforts - that are very often sunset'ed in a couple+ years - are merely a smokescreen of the ad monopoly. Worst case, if they have to: "Tech is hard and competitive. Look at how many other businesses we started and were unable to be successful at. Search + ads is one click away from slipping away from us. We're not a monopoly. We're alone and very scared for our future..."

Yeah it's simply model error. All models from Linear Regression to LLMs have error. I guess because this type of error is in the form of deceptively reasonable human language, it gets a different moniker. It's also notably harder to quantify so it might warrant a different name.
It doesn't tell me your reasons or where you moved to. (And it ends on a positive note)
If I had answers, I wouldn't be saying that it's a good time to think about that.

But you shouldn't assume that things will just continue on as they were in the past hundred years. Boomers are retiring now, when the busters start going into retirement it's going to be a huge mess. Inflation is how democracies die.
I thought he got way too much stick for that. Most of the rants all seemed to be at senior people who should have known better trying to break ironclad, well established rules that exist for a very good reason (e.g. "we don't break userspace mauro").

Look at the rants without understanding the context (which, frankly, most people don't - kernel development is pretty arcane) and the rants look worse than they really were.
Do we really need to have this discussion in every thread about LLMs?
> The people who stay late (but also come in late) are promoted, whereas the early risers like myself are chastised for leaving early.

I had one boss who got fed up with the early risers like me apparently bunking off early, so he instituted signing in and out... and discovered that we worked longer hours than the late arrivals, in some cases a lot longer. The experiment was discontinued after a few weeks.
Sort of. It operates after your vehicle safety systems, so yes, python is controlling the car to an extent, but only within the limits of the built in safety systems.
I don’t think they were thinking long term. Most of this, I believe, has been Netanyahu keeping his coalition together longer to stay out of court and potentially prison.
