So is my irc nick, I think it's pretty obvious what happened:

The GPT2 and GPT3 tokenism were generated via a minimization process on a corpus of text. The original corpus was generated by taking all +3 or better reddit posts and including what they linked to, or something along those lines.

All the Bitcoin development discussion on IRC was (and is) public. Post GDPR several archival sites that indexed these discussions went offline, including ones that had been heavily linked from reddit. So later data collection for future training runs doesn't include this material -- and the copies still online were clearly excluded from training.

The tokenizer was trained on different content from the network. " petertodd" (and " gmaxwell" for that matter) were extremely common in the tokenizer training-- enough to get their own tokens outright-- but nearly absent in the network training.

The result is tokens that were poorly conditioned during network training, resulting in erratic behavior.
Maybe I’m confused about why OP is confused, but doesn’t this all just boil down to the fact that the second exception happens during the first exception so naturally the co text of the second exception contains both things “before” and after the first exception?

It feels like OP is trying to infer something aboub the source code structure which isn’t to be expected. The second “simple example” is only shown in the same order in stacktrace and code because OP ordered the functions by execution order, but that’s not a given for an actual code base, so you’ll always want to see the context of the exception thrown, and if the exception happened during handling another then you’ll see the full context.

What’s the supposed puzzle here?
Given that I find that Google search doesn't often surface what I'm looking for but a couple of other search engines do, my bet is that it has more to do with Google's implementation than the internet in general.
Hard agree. My gripe with git gui is that they facade complex operations behind simple user actions and can land users in no man's land mid operation.

Visual staging is extremely useful though and is a simple, single action.
I guess if they just called it a devkit, nobody would have bought it. But, with the specs, price, and the ridiculous form factor, it was a devkit in all but name.
> It certainly didn’t advantage any low skill American

I mean, I guess this might be true but then again "low skill" Americans don't matter from a political perspective because they barely pay taxes. Again, politicians may appeal to them but in actuality they don't care about them.

And, I'm really doubting that being a white, native English-speaking American puts you at a disadvantage even for physical labor.

Gentoo Linux Touts DTrace 2.0 Support
Back when I was trying to make a game I wanted to copy a map from an old game, so I made a script that took a photo of a game map (like an old tiled NES game) and converted it to a matrix with an index of unique tile types, basically reversing the process of how tiled maps work.

True, but who is going to put in the money? It's not a foregone conclusion that RISC-V will get enough investment to ever be competitive with state-of-the-art Arm or x86 chips.
Yeah, current cities are not built to maintain all possible modes of transportation. And so you had a short interruption of a city favouring bikes and causing all kind of chaos, while everyone else had to suck it up. And so the pendulum swings, and someone else is trying to work out the city transportation problem. Personally, i wanted a privileged skateboard lane, but no lobby for that.
Yeah, that works if one company is Apple and the other is Samsung, I don't think that's a relevant discussion because it's far from the norm of what actually happens in patent litigation. Acting like posters on HN are going to accrue billion-dollar patent portfolios is one of the more ridiculous things I've seen here bandied as a "strategy."
optimism for a bright long-term future for late capitalist endeavors seems possibly ill-advised.
Later on, it also says that Apple was stopped work on the second-generation Vision Pro and is focusing only on a lower-cost device. So that’s actually pretty reasonable.

No it didn't. ARM began on Acorn desktop computers, the Acorn Archimedes. ARM originally stood for Acorn RISC Machine.
The gaming world badly needs a central repository of art, only art (graphics, music, scenery, world maps, objects, ...) sort of a highly specialized Github. It should promote using well known file formats and structures to ease importing this or that object into a game project. And possibly allow the use of the torrent protocol to avoid clogging central servers as data files usually represent the heaviest load for a server.
Good luck going back to that repo in a few months :)

I really hate all of the talk about how this has been received. It was clear to anyone that was not trying to push clickbait headlines that this was never meant to be a mainstream device. Apple may charge a premium for their devices but they also understand the market enough to have lower priced Macs, iPads, and iPhones.

No one thought a $3500 device was going to be mainstream when we see people complaining about phones being above $1k.

The fact that the first one came out with the "Pro" name made this even more clear.

Headlines like this make it seem like it "failed" in some way that is only because we are putting expectations on this to match other Apple products but this is just like the other "Hobby" projects that apple used to classify products like the Apple TV.

The market for AR/VR is incredibly early (if it manages to take off at all) and the technology just isnt there yet. But while we wait for the hardware to catch up why not start working on an idealized vision of what it could work like with its own caveats. I would much rather this than the xreal's and similar headsets way over promising (borderline lying in their marketing) and severely under delivering.
In a theoretical sense only, that is true on x86 when a flag (that is always set) is not set. The vast majority of useful instructions are constant-time (in the value of the data).
And that means those same drugs, from those same companies are now cheaper outside of the US? That makes zero sense. That's like Amazon charging their employees 100x to use AWS vs outside people.

They charge more in the US because they can, because of people who gleefully accept it and defend it by saying "we do a lot of expensive drug discovery and testing"
Language evolves. It's common sense that social media accelerates this.
> Today, ARM's success has contributed to Intel's market plateau

I don't buy this?

ARM is applied in embedded devices or mobile hardware, neither of which Intel really "owned" in the first place. x86 is still the first-class datacenter option and I frankly don't see ARM taking it over on the desktop or server. The people with architectural licenses aren't interested in competing, which leaves Apple as really the only flexible customer, and we all know Apple was going to replace Intel eventually. So... Intel persists. And with DXVK running fine on RISC-V, I'm well within my right to say it's faster than I think: https://youtu.be/5UMUEM0gd34

Honestly AMD has contributed more to Intel's demise than ARM ever did. When I read blog posts like this I really wonder how proximal the author actually is to the industry - it's an assertion that lacks evidence.

Yes. This and the massive switch to single-person households (Single Income No Kids).

Refrigeration Ruined Fresh Food
It's an old article, and things have changed quite a bit in the pricing and features landscape when it comes to auth. I'm working at SuperTokens, so here are some thoughts and updates from my angle:

- `create-supertokens-app` is primarily a learning tool to help you understand how SuperTokens works and how to best integrate it with your app. The reasoning behind this is fairly simple - apps usually don't start with auth as a first concern. It's added at some point, and in my opinion, having an example handy (especially in your stack or close to it) is one of the easiest methods to help you understand how to integrate SuperTokens in your app. The CLI tool isn't meant as a scaffold but can work as one. Although, I wonder - would a more barebones setup work as a scaffold better? It might be worth exploring.

- I'm not sure where the bundle size number (430kb) comes from, but our current version is nowhere near that.

- I agree that the NextJS example could be better. It's mostly just boilerplate, though, and it can be made to look better.

- I don't see why the 5 cookies are an issue, to be honest. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but I fail to understand how the number of cookies has security implications.

- I find myself disagreeing with most of the conclusion - SuperTokens isn't too different from how the classic SSR frameworks integrate auth - you still have to do all of that configuration just once.
This is missing the two main server vendors who are taping out at the moment, Rivos and Ventana. Rivos at least are targeting the highest end performance.

I've had the watch since v1 and I've almost gone full circle on it.

Never had sound on, have disabled more and more notifications, steadily fewer and fewer complications until I finally just use the the silly Snoopy watch face instead.

What I do love it for is all the health tracking, and that I have about a decade of data on myself now. Really just activity level and resting heart rate primarily.

I'm at the point that I'd be similar (or, maybe more?) for a display-less slim Apple Fitness Band loaded with all the sensors of the Apple Watch.. and then go back to my analog wristwatch.
To be fair, this is NOT the case with native mobile apps. There are some projects like detox that are trying to make e2e tests easier, but the tests themselves can be painful, run fairly slow on emulators, etc.

Maybe someday the tooling for mobile will be as good as headless chrome is for web :)

Agreed though that the followup debugging of a failed test could be hard to automate in some cases.
Well, the good news for RISC-V (I say this with half honesty, half sarcasm), is that most of the RISC-V investment is happening in America and China. Their access to venture capital, talented engineers, and a decent economy makes the UK (where ARM's fighting from) look like Mississippi backwaters. ARM is disadvantaged against RISC-V geographically, economically, and politically; and judging by their interest in scare tactics a few years ago, I think they know it. Perfect conditions for a possible quick erosion of their technological lead.
I said they are failing. Not failed. Bleeding will continue for long since we didn't break these up earlier. But companies are either going up or down and anyone with half a brain can see that these three are going down.
This ignores two major server vendors, Rivos & Ventana (three if you include Qualcomm) who do have all those features.
How much of your work happens locally? For me, it's probably 99.9%, everything else is temporary shells in Kubernetes pods. For the 0.1% cases, I'm fine with consulting .gitconfig (or zsh plugin) for what the alias does, if I happen to even need it.
But these aren't Instruction Set Architecture (IS details.

As mentioned in article, Berkeley's SonicBOOM is out of order. And you could certainly enhance the memory architecture with multi-level caches easily; the ISA is blind to this (consider how little x86 ISA has improved to tackle ever improving cache/memory strategies since i386).

RISC-V is also extensible. So you can keep improving things! The incredibly awesome efficiency-foxused PULP group is working on a massive many-core research chip Occamy. It has huge vector processing units, many many many of them. Ok, so, promising.
https://pulp-platform.org/occamy/

And they have their own extension, Semantic Streaming Registers, which add a very CISC-y set of instructions that combine real work and load/store (and incrementing the data pointer for the next loop), allowing DSP like performance in loops. Super super slick extension to massively increase the throughput, improve the ISA & reduce it's footprint in loops. https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.08356
Deep dive. Thanks.
Throughout history every single company with the biggest market cap has failed.
> Those that say that RISC-V is a viable replacement for x86 or ARM in the near term are kidding themselves.

I strongly disagree with how this frames the conversation. For most applications our desktop machines could be 10x faster if application programmers were incentivized to care about performance. I'd happily take a 2.5x slowdown for cheaper, simpler, non-proprietary hardware. And that leads into the next point:

> RISC-V implementations in the wild lack advanced features that modern CPUs rely on for speed, including sophisticated pipelining mechanisms, out-of-order execution capabilities, advanced branch prediction, and multi-tiered cache hierarchies. Most commercial RISC-V chips remain in-order processors, meaning they execute instructions sequentially rather than optimizing their order for performance.

Get your pitchforks out, because I consider this a feature. Spectre should have been a wakeup call that these performance optimizations are incompatible with secure computing. "Look how much faster our new minivan careens off the nearest cliff and explodes in midair!" is not the selling point people seem to think it is. I'm eagerly awaiting a RISC-V mainboard for the Framework for this reason. If I want performance, I'll use a burner PC. If I want security, I want a CPU design where it's actually tractable to make it secure.
Thats like saying I improved my running speed last month more than Usain bolt did in a decade.
are there benchmarks?
I can only think of The Oregon Trail when reading about Dysentery.
There's also the fact that ARM has a total of like 2 architecture licensees, and everyone else has to use piss-slow Cortex designs. If there was competition happening between ARM cores it would be a more interesting story, but right now ISA has taken a backseat while OEMs fight over TSMC access.
Interesting, I've almost never had this problem and I don't have a great memory. Not worth making small commits just for that reason (for me, of course!)
This looks awesome but I don’t really understand the complexities that mean this is new in late 2024 and wasn’t one of the first LSPs implemented? Can someone explain?

It's not about how great the teams behind these CPUs are.

It's about how great the CPUs are.

And that probably only happened because Apple co-founded ARM.

It's not miserabilist or nihilist. I'm a very happy person and there's a lot I care about. My family, my partner, my friends, and the memories and experiences I live. I care about the ones who love me and the things we do together.

I don't care about work because I'm not pathetic. Ultimately when you inevitably die you won't remember meetings, or cubicles, or water cooler talk. And that's really the big idea. Who do you want to be? What do you want to spend your care on? And, who will care? I can tell you right now - not a single person in your life who matters gives a single fuck about what you do at work. So WHO are you performing for?

And, to be clear, everyone does bullshit it at work. I have genuine interactions constantly when I'm out. Never at work. It's corporate America, everything is at least a little off, a little filtered. I'm not the first one to make the observation. To me, it's obvious, so if you're not seeing it, you might be socially deficient.
I very much agree with you, and I think you’ll hit the hornets nest on this one unfortunately.

I’m all for more architectures but RISC-V has an absurd fandom behind it now. It feels like the fandom behind Linux on the home desktop or Vulkan (which makes sense given the open nature) in the way that they’re trying to manifest its success as reality by just saying that it’ll inevitably be used, while ignoring the hurdles in the way.

That’s not to say those aren’t successes when used , but I often feel the comments that put them on the pedestal don’t acknowledge the immense delta between today and their imagined future, and have very little interest when it’s pointed out.

For all three it comes down to Software Compatibility and experience of use. And the proponents seem to have a “the underlying tech is built and people will flock to it when they open their eyes”, but the first part in fixing the software compatibility gulf is acknowledging it exists and actioning that. FOSS isn’t alone here, Apple does the same mistake with desktop gaming and Microsoft with almost any physical product they release that’s not running windows.

I really do hope that more open platforms and technologies happen, but I feel like the people who unabashedly push them without acknowledging how it needs to happen are doing them a disservice.
The ciphers and hashes from OpenSSL have almost always been good C code. I'm sure there have been issues with variable runtimes leaking information, but memory safety won't be a cipher problem.

The protocol code, and the x.509 code from OpenSSL hasn't always been great. Rust providing memory protection on that is a nice thing.

There's certainly a question of how that makes for significantly more performance; handshake performance is usually dominated by crypto performance, and the same for data transfer... so if the crypto is coming from the same library, it's unexpected to see such a big change (10%+ in most graphs by my eye?)

Seems like it would be interesting to take one of these and really dig into it. That said, I know OpenSSL 3 was having some performance issues in some applications because of new locking behaviors; I don't know if BoringSSL took those or not.
When it comes to AI, yes you guys are lucky Meta had that snafu with LLaMa researchers and chose to seize the moment and make LLaMa available freely to everyone. Otherwise it would be quite a different world. Mark Z returned to his open-source roots that he had with Synapse and Wirehog back in the day, before Sean Parker and Peter Thiel “corrupted” him.

But when it comes to everything else, it is the opposite, in my opinion.

Apple sells you the hardware and you install apps locally. It’s not open source, but at least it runs locally. And Apple cares about your privacy.

Facebook is the opposite, it is ad-supported, it will never give you their backend source code or let you run your own social network. They only promote “React” front end framework and other ancillary things. They will try to take your data by hook or by crook (surreptitiously recording your camera and audio as well). Their “Metaverse” play would have to recouo the tens of billions spent on development.

But yeah when it comes to AI, you guys lucked out. Zuck’s image has improved since the first 15 years of “dumbf%[#s” giving him their data. He now surfs in a suit and looks much cooler. But remember — it’s people like Linus Torvalds, Tim Berners-Lee, and all the “BDFL”s of all the languages you use (like Guido Vom Rossum for Python and the Zend guys behind PHP) who really create most of the wealth for the world. If not for open source, you’d be spending more and more of your life in some corporation’s world.

Just ask yourself, when the following technologies enter your home or your body, would you rather all be hooked up to a corporation like the Borg, or at least have your own installation where you have a say:

TeslaBot in your house
Neuralink in your brain
Microsoft Recall recording
Hours in “the Metaverse”
Security cameras everywhere

What do you think the incentives will be for TeslaBot or Microsoft Recall surreptitiously storing everything they can about you, including your passwords?

When facing the temptation. Microsoft has already done it. Facebook has already done it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism

But it can go far beyond that. How difficult would it be for TeslaBot to get all the info to impersonate you? All your mannerisms, voice recordings, your heartbeat rhythms, gait, everything?
