I seriously doubt that...
Since we’re talking about small batch sizes PCIe bandwidth isn’t as important - intermediate hidden state is magnitude smaller than weights.
I was alive during the rise of Java and it absolutely got a high amount of "Look at this piece of garbage" style comments. Particularly, people were VERY critical of how slow java was and how much memory it consumed. There was also a fair bit of critique about the lack of language features. For example, java eschewed generics for a long time (not unlike go) which really irked people. It was very much seen as a more verbose C++ with few benefits.
Ah you see, it's all about how much your opponent values the marbles. Marbles might be pretty dead, but there have been a hundred other trading games, with more or less the same conceit of some contest for acquisition of the opponents item. Marbles didn't have strong enough marketing (by who, the British Marbles Board?) to beat out the more modern crazes that laser-focused on kid's psyches. I don't know when they started doing that, but at least by the 90s which were rife with branded crazes that absolutely short-circuited young brains, and it's continued to now.

I remember football stickers bring banned on day 1 of term, having blown up over summer because someone stole a huge stack from a locker. Presumably the 90s ish was when the Made in Taiwan plastic crap availability really started to make that stuff cheap and fast enough to churn out in huge volumes to start a craze in weeks. Compared to marbles where a collection might represent years of growth, overall marble-econony production being trickled in by kids buying or being gifted just a handful at a time.
I love the inscriptions too--the stela only get more meaningful the more you learn about them. But it's kind of like Egypt, the iconography is harder to understand because we inherited from a different culture.

For me, the Maya have always been important because they're our history and our stories in the Americas (I'm from the US) -- more than the greco-roman mythology I grew up with. They grew corn and love ball games. Their stories are more directly our stories, and their struggles are our struggles.

Not to be political, but they also kind of wiped themselves out by large scale environmental collapse, and the jungle is filled with their undiscovered monuments. There's still so much to learn.

People really geek out on how much the Maya knew about astronomy too -- they shot archaeoastronomy docs twice while I was working on site. Richard Feynman even helped decipher Maya glyphs and writes about it in "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman". He gave a lecture also if the audio file can be checked out somehow: https://collections.archives.caltech.edu/repositories/2/acce...
Manipulate, cheat and squeeze them for every dime is literally why SLS exists. Please for the love of good do some research on the topic.
There are a lot of large C++ shops that purposefully disable exceptions and yet still use RAII usefully. It's so useful that in many C codebases you see people using RAII. For example Gtk has g_autoptr and g_autofree.

One of the most compelling things C++ offers to embedded use case is moving runtime initialization to compile-time initialization by liberally using constexpr functions. You literally ask the compiler to do work that would otherwise be done at runtime.
Neither did the company.

Most new products fail at meta, because they become a "priority", throw thousands of engineers at the problem and get bogged down in managing a massive oversubscription of engineers to useful work ratio.

Threads happened because a few people managed to convince each other to take a risk and build a instagram/mastodon chimera. They managed to show enough progress to continue without getting fucked in the performance review, but not enough for an exec to get excited about building an empire around it.
When I was a kid I was fortunate enough to play with computers a lot and I always wanted to make apps/sites that creates an impact around the globe.

I am ready to fail small 100 times but when I will win it will be BIG.

Thinking of getting youtubers on this site where they can donate to their audiance and climb in the leaderboard which will give them fame and build trust amongst audiances. what do you think about this idea?
It would require a fairly big bet on AI models not changing structure all that much, I guess

I think if the tooling and supply chain falls into place it would surprise me if meta and friends didn't make their own chips, assuming it was a good fit of course.

Note: AMD's missed opportunity here is so bad people jump "make their own chip" rather than "buy AMD". Although watch that space.

Start with optional fixed instruction size mode.
I remember a bunch of languages discussed alongside typescript, such as coffeescript, toffeescript, purescript, etc. the consensus was that typescript was the worst of the bunch.
Yet another example of how startups are often a negative for customers.
OP said it… I also don’t think meta is looking to sell LLMs.

Probably LLM backed products. Likely marketing tools if anything.

But not the same way OAI sells LLMs
You can create a file, example.py:

import time
value = "foo"
def go():
for i in range(10):
print("...", i, value)
time.sleep(3)

Then, in repl,

import example
import threading
thread = threading.Thread(target=example.go)
thread.start()

It will slowly print out messages and you can do "example.value = 'bar'" in the REPL and it will change.
When LF doesn’t work (e.g. in cmd), you can always use something like .editorconfig to tell editors to use CRLF, and you should keep those files as CRLF in the repo.
VR also gets a lot of hate, and they definitely dropped the ball on user-facing software, but Meta is doing very substantial, deep and valuable long-term R&D on VR hardware. They are also doing a lot on systems software, with their OS and all the low-key AI that enables excellent real-time tracking, rendering and AR.

It might not all be open-source, and they are doing it with an expectation of long-term profit, but they are earnestly pushing the horizons (pun intended) of the field and taking-on lots of risk for everyone else.

It's undeniable now that they are a serious and innovative engineering organization, while Google is rapidly loosing that reputation.
Right. Also it might it sound like array-to-pointer decay is forced onto the programmer. Instead, you can take the address of an array just fine without letting it decay. The type then preserves the length.
It's clearer from the book roadmap:

> By 2024, we aim to achieve production-ready status for VM environments on x86-64.
> In 2025 and beyond, we will expand our support for CPU architectures and hardware devices.

Russian+Ukrainian VC doesn't really exist anymore. It's all moved to London.

The outflow began in 2014 when the war began, and helped spark the startup boom in Poland, Czechia, Romania, Bulgaria, and other CEE nations due to the Golden Visa programs, but became a waterfall by 2019-20 due to COVID plus a worsening political situation.
> All of the other cores from ARM or Qualcomm aren't as fast as the top Intel and AMD x86

I don’t think top cpu perf is relevant. I was working on some C code for science stuff inside Termux on a Pixel 7a, and would’ve been perfectly ok having that perf on a standard format laptop. I even noticed some branch prediction was better than x86. It’s more an issue that no one is making a decent arm in laptop format with nvme, enough ram etc.
So China is both using slave labor and also paying close to wage parity with the US? How can both of those assertions be true?

I think the lithium/cobalt argument is a bit of a straw man, since the generally accepted view is that the US likely has an abundance of such deposits but simply has not opted to do significant extraction.

Also, from the standpoint of the security risk associated with China controlling the supply, the US coudl also opt for strategic reserves of key items at a much lower cost than the cost of tariffs on the economy.

An easy way to help EV companies would be to stop spending trillions of dollars on petrolium-related wars. If you do the math, gas should cost at least double at the pump what it typically costs. The rest of the cost is the massive military operations needed to keep prices what they are. Those operations are not free by any means and are certainly not budgeted (so they are still yet to be paid for).

So in the supposedly capitalist US we have thousands in subsidy for EVs and Trillions in subsidies for petrolium related military operations, and now 100% tariffs on competitive EVs, etc. Why? Because China is evil? Because Saddam is evil?

Yes we should, because the new stuff isn't any better. "Security" is just an excuse at this point.
My dentist wants an extra $30. Not sure what that entails.
UB is does not automatically make things unsafe. You can have a compiler that implements safe defaults for most UB, and then it is not unsafe.

> "This effort pushed our infrastructure to operate across more than 16,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, making Llama 3.1 405B the first model in the Llama series to be trained at such a massive scale."

So at 20k a pop (assuming meta has a decent wholesale price from Nividia) they spent $320 MILLION on the 405B model (not including probably 5-10 million in electricity for the training process, water, staff, infra).

Do we think that brings more than 400+ million in value to Meta? I think so. I don't want to do the math, so I'll ask Perplexity to look it up:

> "How much has Meta's valuation increased since they released their first open source model"

Answer (edited):

> Closing price on February 23, 2023: $509.50
> Closing price on October 11, 2024: $573.68
> The increase in stock price is $64.18 per share.
> Total increase = Price increase per share × Number of outstanding shares
> Total increase = $64.18 × 2,534,000,000 = $162,632,100,000
> Meta's stock valuation has increased by approximately $162.63 billion since the release of their first open source model on February 24, 2023.

They seem to be making the right choices!
Depends on when the images were taken. They might have been taken during the pandemic when passengers planes were grounded.
I wonder if someone will make a git/Unison hybrid VCS for a "normal" language (C++, Java, Python..), this could be quite interesting.
I actually worked on such a model professionally (as in "being paid for it") in 2006, for Germany.

Here's a good overview article: https://energytransition.org/2017/07/germanys-worse-case-sce...

> Germany will always need dispatchability roughly at the level of its annual peak demand

The solution they're proposing is power-to-gas. Which so far has been way too expensive to matter.
I always thought that Java generics inspired python ABCs and later type interfaces.
If it costs you money to generate power at a time you cannot sell it, that is losing money. Wind and solar are unique in that they have low marginal costs, whereas a nuclear plant requires more staffing and fuel burn.

They're not teaming up and neither design is open, but they definitely have their own designs.
I think this can be a hit in the youtube community dont you think?
they can gain trust/ build an audience from this and can compete amongst other people in the leaderboard.

These people can do anything to rise to the top as they have a whole lotta ego.

I maybe wrong tho, what do you think?
It's more than that because rust evangelists often preach replacing GC'd languages with rust in cases where it is not the best fit (mundane web dev for example).

So it's not only about C/C++.
If everyone’s on Windows, or if the tool always generates/requires CRLF, then you should store the files with CRLF line endings in the repository. In a mixed Windows/Linux environment, I would still prefer to handle this myself rather than expecting Git to mangle line endings.
I agree. I deciphered a few weird formats, for example the raw format of an old camera, the save files of drawings in WinWord 1. It's easier if you can make a few custom small examples, for example in the drawings use only one line, then two, then tree. They were binary formats, so the trick was to use an hex editor and look at them for a long time and make a few guess. I never deciphered them 100%, but I had enough info to read the files I care about and create new files.

Sometimes you get a riff format and a big chunk of the guesswork is solved.

And most modern formats are just a bunch of xml files inside a tar.gz , so now the first step is to change the extension to .zip and cross your fingers.

Kudos that you looked at the license file and for bringing our attention to the fact that it is not, in fact, OSS.

That is independent the fact that his comment used non-parsed Markdown.

Negativity about his claim that the software is "a free and open-source web app framework" would have been acceptable, but IMO your factual comment "FYI: Not open-source:" did the job even better.
You're correct of course, but that level of strategic thinking is well beyond those in charge. David Horne summed the situation up well.

"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."

complicated "hard no".

I refuse to ask anyone for permission to speak, regardless of the technological means of encoding and transmitting that speech.

It's polite not to paper neighborhoods with posters, not to smash spectrum with noise. The proposition that the risk of impolite behavior requires prior permission to participate contradicts the principles our government operates under.

Amateur radio is great. Licensing sucks.

History may someday record that the biggest effect of Helene was causing the schism in the amateur radio community between the fudds and the hackers to finally crack open public and hard. I expect that to be as epochal as the AT&T breakup was to computer networking.
Amazing. So inspiring!
Ask HN: Where After WordPress?

It sounds like you're leaning into the trend and doing a large part of it to yourself? First with your phone running software that you apparently do not feel works in your interests, and then secondly using a tiny agency-limiting phone as your "primary computing device", or at the very least normalizing the behavior for kids/parents? If the lock screen of my desktop/laptop/phone were to start saying weird messages like that, I would investigate it as the security lapse that it is. And sure, the throwie devices I keep around to interact with stuff that requires the Doubleclick malware framework will show me those trash headlines if I scroll too far to the left, or I'll see them on the occasional insecure browser (ie no adblock). But that happens at most every few weeks, and so doesn't warp my larger perspective.
Profit plays the biggest role, growth is secondary. Another round of funding is only necessary if they aren't profitable enough to sustain themselves on their own.

Although, as I think about it, maybe as an AI company nobody ever expected them to ever get to profitability so the only way to continue their existence was through continued funding.

Yes there have been many mishaps, a large portion caused by owners not following instructions, such as to pay attention to the road. But all those mishaps still don't hold a candle to how many mishaps happen daily due to human error/negligence. And the rate of automated mishaps have steadily decreased over time as the fleet learns (unlike with humans), making amount of mishaps an invalid metric.
Sorry to be the devil's advocate (just call me Beelzebub ... sung like Queen [1])

The very best example of that is the Kagi search engine which, if you spend on time of HN, looks very widely used, but actually has less than 10,000 customers.
For one, because we haven't done as much research on the long-term effects of semaglutide, especially on demographics it isn't current prescribed to. Fluoride, on the other hand, is well-researched.

I think there's a larger argument about invasiveness being something that we can also quantify, and intervening on obesity is more invasive than intervening on caries, as you've noted. But the research argument above is perfectly sufficient on its own.

If you don't like the smoking argument, consider enrichment/enforcement of foods (including public school foods). Iodized salt, enriched flour, fortified milk, etc.

I have expertise in both. I think the difference is that when moving from the highly rigid world of medicine into tech, I expected the varied level of skill and knowledge that exists. It just throws you off seeing people in tech with no background in medicine talk about medicine like they know it.

Most of my closest friends are docs. A couple of times at a brewery I've had them read some braindead takes from here for laughs. The people here making wild comments on the architecture of o1 or whatever don't get the same reaction from the crowd.
it's not the same though—In Lisp, when you compile your program, a Lisp run-time is attached to it so you can either run the program normally (like any binary) or you could REPL into the program and see what the values of variables are (these values were set at compile time). This is helpful when you have a large dataset you don't want to load over and over.

I did layout for a feature phone browser. WAP and mercifully XHTML-basic’s ideas of layout was simple enough that I could treat spans as a concave octagon - a rectangle with a bite out of the upper left and lower right corner. It made it at least an order of magnitude faster to paint and scroll a long document, and much simpler to think about.

In the years since I’ve used a lot of tricks for web app CSS that I’m not sure I’m smart enough to figure out. But then I’ve never thought as long and as hard about typesetting as I did at the time so who knows.
Maybe not "sell" but if you look at my other comment on this post you'll see their valuation has increased 162 billion since they released their first open source model. They definitely are looking to profit, they just take a different approach to monetization. Same thing in my book.

Thank you for this amazing book! I always wanted to learn more about the technological foundations that I rely on as web developer (or engineer, as you put it).

> Do we think that brings more than 400+ million in value to Meta?

Tough to tell, given nobody is turning a net profit on LLMs yet.

Companies have a tendency to develop neuroses, though, just like people. Apple’s near miss with bankruptcy fuelled cash hoarding. For Facebook, their disastrous IPO and near miss of mobile seems to have made them hyper aware of the Innovator’s Dilemma. $400mm spent on a defensive move is certainly wider than tens of billions on the metaverse.
> If it's a general idea though, as in you are generalizing, that would mean you are talking about 'most', and not 'some' or 'a lot'.

Ah, I can clarify that.

The vast majority of people aren't very good at avoiding temptation.

But when we look at the choices people make, "avoid temptation" is not a universal correct answer. I'm not suggesting people be ascetic monks.

So if we look at people facing some tempting choice, I might estimate that 99% of them are generically bad at resisting, but of the people that give in only 10% of them are actually making a mistake.
