I know how to find the context I need, being aided by the IDE and compiler. So yes, my context window contains all of the code in my project, even if it's not instantaneous.

It's not that hard to have an idea of what code is defined where in a project, since compilers have been doing that for over half a century. If I'm injecting protocols and mocks into a unit test, it shouldn't be really hard for a computer to figure out their definitions, unless they don't exist yet and I was not clear they should have been created, which would mean that I'm giving the AI the wrong prompt and the error is on my side.
Did you disassemble the fan assembly? And applied new thermal paste?

> They'll probably still have to do advanced packaging putting HBM on top to save things.

This is where the interesting wafer-size packaging TSMC does for the Dojo D1 supercomputer comes in - Cerebras has demonstrated what can be a superior process for inter-element bandwidth, because connections can be denser than they are with an interposer, but the ability to have different elements coming from different processes is also important, and used on the D1 slab. Stacking HBM modules on top of a Cerebras wafer might help with that. I'm sure the smart people there are not sleeping on these ideas.

For ultra low latency uses such as robotics or military applications, I believe a more integrated approach similar to the Telum processors from IBM is better - putting the inference accelerator on the same die as the CPUs gives them that, and they are also much smaller than a Cerebras wafer (and it's cooling).

Gene Amdahl would have loved to see them.

This is the only reason you need to keep going.

> ps5 can’t play 360hz and can’t use performance mode graphics.
This [0] is your game. Without running it (because I'm not installing your OS on my machine, no offence) there's no reason that wouldn't run at 360Hz on a PS5. A PS5 is an 8 core machine with a dedicated GPU; it's going to be vastly more powerful (and has the advantage of being standardised hardware) than the random beater laptops your players are going to run. If you're talking about rendering at 360Hz - How many people realistically have that sort of monitor? And if they need to splash out £250 for it, we're getting close to the price of a console _anyway_ where you can play other games too.

> consoles are great, but esports will always be on pc.

Except for fighting games, sports games, and most importantly CoD.

> input cheats are common on pc and console, there isn’t a difference anymore.

Theoretically, yes. Practically speaking, input cheats are widespread on PC, and non-existant on console. (that's not to say XIM and co don't exist, but they're nowhere near the adoption level that's seen on PC).

I recently started using devbox over homebrew for package installs on my Mac and this has gotten me more interested in nix - however, neither of the VPS providers we use offer NixOS as an OS option, is there a way to achieve that declarative setup on Ubuntu?
> Also, I didn't really noticed a significant difference in code quality, even the best model (GPT-4) write code that doesn't work,

Interesting, personally I have noticed a difference. Mostly in how well the models pick up small details and context. Although I do have to agree that the open Llama models are generally fairly serviceable.

Recently I have tended to lean towards Claude Sonnet 3.5 as it seems slightly better. Although that does differ per language as well.

As far as them being slow, I haven't really noticed a difference. I use them mostly through the API with open webui and the answers come quick enough.

Yes - the fact is that with the same attitude it would be very hard to have *any* kind of science, because if the default answer is "it must be wrong because it's impossible. so did you control X and Y? no? you see, you are a fraud". If it was applied to Newton's law, I fear they would still be debating the weight and color of the famous apple.

(not taking a position on the contents here, just on the social process).

I personally find parapsychology very interesting - and it's worth reading about, worst case consider it well-build scientific SF. It asks a lot of interesting questions: how do you study something where the scientist is directly entangled? how do you study something where you may have an actively hostile field of research? see e.g. https://books.google.ch/books/about/The_Trickster_and_the_Pa... who was written by Hansen on leaving the field....
It wouldn't, but it'd reassure me I wasn't some expendable pawn and they are preteding to be responsible. A company trying to cut back on the highest paid workers who will still survive shows a captain willing to drown with their boat.

>As I grew older and experienced my share of layoffs, I stopped caring about what happens to those responsible for me getting laid off, as my energy is better spent on improving my situation and my life instead of ruminating how Krama vengeance would make me feel better.

The tree remembers. If I have nothing else it's my pride for my craft. I'll probably never have some revenge arc, but I sure will take it personally the next time that company tries to make deals with me later in my career.

Call it cultural; I don't like being treated as a slave. Respect your fellow man, regardless of background or walk of life.
It's maybe because the assumption about low latency because everything fits in SRAM is not valid?

CS-1 had 18G of SRAM, CS-2 extended it to 40G and CS-3 has 44G of SRAM. None of these is sufficient to run the inference of Llama 70B and much less so of even larger models.

> but it won't be pretty at that point

Possibly prettier than C and C++ still. Every time I write something and think "this could use C" and then I use C and then I remember why I was using C# for low-level implementation in the first place.

It's not as sophisticated and good of a choice as Rust, but it also offers "simpler" experience, and in my highly biased opinion pointers-based code with struct abstractions in C# are easier to reason about and compose than more rudimentary C way of doing it, and less error-prone and difficult to work with than C++. And building final product takes way less time because the tooling is so much friendlier.
It might happen the way you describe, or, if they get more popular, then may try to think harder and offer more paid options. Now they're in a growth stage - they need to convince the largest possible number of developers they should switch from VS Code, and that is already a difficult task.

I don't know. As you said, it's a waste of energy to wonder about other people and their endeavors. Better to focus on me.

And I need the money. CEOs don't. Feels odd to go from "don't spend your energy thinking about other rich people" and then go "but rich people 'want' money" when someone makes a suggestion.

>Have the stress of running a company while working for free? Who would ever want to do that?

Again, don't know. But I suspect that most people at a CEO level are not just in it for money. There's easier, less stressful ways for millionaire to accrue money.

It is amazing how important it is to talk to the people who use your product. Years ago my bit of east London was being gentrified.

One day I went in and the bar area was totally updated with a nice (old) bar top taken from another pub, moved forwards into the bar areas, giving loads of room for the staff being to move and work (on a Friday there could be about 10 staff serving at once).

But when talking to the bar staff they hated it - the tills were along the back wall, and the beer tabs were on the bar side - so they could no longer pour a pint and take payment at the same time.

The bar had been 'improved' by the owners, who had obviously never worked in a bar or talked to their staff.
Individuals are full of conflicting incompatible desires and people as they group are exponentially so.

There are people who want to end any other human to ever live homeless in starvation or any kind of poverty and there are people who want to eliminate anyone they judge as threat or a nuisance while reinforcing there feeling that they dominate everything that will ever matter in the world and the rest.

Software can help all kind of purpose.
> Unless the model actually talks about what it does

That's how the chain-of-thought approach works. You can make the model do it inline, or you can run the loop yourself, possibly summarising the progress as you go. (Although with prompt caching it's not that important anymore) You can encourage it to print out assumptions/steps/ideas as it goes.

During the above window, our Engineering team will be performing maintenance on redundant upstream electrical systems in order to improve reliability in our AMS3 region.

Expected Impact:

We don’t expect to see any downtime as the power to hypervisors is redundant. In a highly unlikely situation, where we lose power to both the supplies, the impacted Droplet(s) may experience downtime for a brief period. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.

Identifying fraud in the Georgia (country near Russia) elections involves seeing youtube video of thugs stuffing extra ballots in the boxes. It's not always subtle.

The only major case of a fraud like thing in the US I know was the 2000 Florida recount when dems had more people vote for the but republican judges throught out enough for them to win. Not subtle in what they did, although it's not usually called fraud because judges did it.

You can often identify large scale fraud by the polls being out of whack with the results.

i mean, i haven't built an os. it's just standard archlinux with minor conf. my binaries will run, but they would regardless of the platform.

i can't tell users to go into bios and turn off smt. i can tell them to boot an iso, and have it preset to do that via kernel cmdline. owning the os means i can tune the network stack, the os, the kernel, anything that helps performance. the game itself has minimal config, only keybinds.

i'm really targeting one player base: fortnite ranked/competitive players.

fortnite competitive does exist on console, but barely. it's an after thought, and the game can barely run, even on ps5. most importantly, it doesn't let you set graphics to the settings every pro uses. on console you have default high graphics. all serious players migrate to pc.

the game will run on beater laptops, but it's not a great experience. the players i'm targeting all have desktop pcs and 1080p240 monitors already. if i can get 1% of 1% of fortnite ranked players to try, that would be inglorious. if it's just me haning out with 99 aws servers, that's fine too.

i want there to be an on ramp for new players, but optimizing for low end spec is not a goal. especially with 100 players all standing next to each other, low end hardware falls over. will probably have to limit to 50 or even fewer players depending on how much low end hardware shows up to play.

input cheats are common on console for fortnite, i'm not sure about other games. reads video from hdmi, mitm controller outputs. multiple generations of that, some of it works on pc too, and then pc has a whole new host of similar tech.

input provenance is the only real solution that i can see. the rest is shadows on a cave wall.
It's death by a thousand cuts, with that way of thinking why would we close a single coal plant? Taken in isolation they amount to nothing either.

If your argument is "everything but airplanes", it would be interesting to know why you think they are so important?

As for energy consumption reduction leading us back to stone age: it's about cutting the excess to keep what matters, no one arguing for it will pretend for a second that the excess stops at stone age level. Thankfully it doesn't even go as far as 250 years ago, when our world was still entirely renewable.

If commuting for 50km for work is what matters, cutting the excess means replacing many SUVs by an (electric) bus or a train plus an e-bike. And maybe create jobs or housing closer. Not "not working" or "dying".
This type of not having to think about the implementation, especially in a language that we've by now well-established can't be written safely by humans (including by Google's own research into Android vulnerabilities if I'm not mistaken), at least with the current level of LLM, worries me the most

Time will tell whether it outputs worse, equal, or better quality than skilled humans, but I'd be very wary of anything it suggests beyond obvious boilerplate (like all the symbols needed in a for loop) or naming things (function name and comment autocompletes like the person above you described)

Hi I’m just a random internet stranger passing by and was intrigued by Plato’s Cave as I’m not a fancy person who reads books. GPT-4o expanded for you quite well, but I’m not sure how I feel about it…

Using AI how I just did feels like cheating on an English class essay by using spark notes, getting a B+, and moving right on to the next homework assignment.

On one hand, I didn’t actually read Plato to learn and understand this connection, nor do I have a good authority to verify if this output is a good representation of his work in the context of your comment.

And yet, while I’m sure students could always buy or loan out reference books to common student texts in school, AI now makes this “spark notes” process effectively a commodity for almost any topic, like having a cross-domain low-cost tutor instantly available at all time.

I like the metaphor that calculators did to math what LLMs will do for language, but I don’t really know what that means yet

GPT output:

“““
The reference to Plato’s Cave here suggests that language models, like the shadows on the wall in Plato’s allegory, provide an imperfect and limited representation of reality. In Plato’s Cave, prisoners are chained in a way that they can only see shadows projected on the wall by objects behind them, mistaking these shadows for the whole of reality. The allegory highlights the difference between the superficial appearances (shadows) and the deeper truth (the actual objects casting the shadows).

In this analogy, large language models (LLMs) produce fluent and grammatically correct language—similar to shadows on the wall—but they do so without direct access to the true “world” beyond language. Their understanding is derived from patterns in language data (“Word Model”) rather than from real-world experiences or sensory information. As a result, the “reality” of the LLMs is limited to linguistic constructs, without spatial awareness, social context, or logic grounded in physical or mathematical truths.

The suggestion to call the LLM framework a “Word Model” underscores that LLMs are fundamentally limited to understanding language itself rather than the world the language describes. Reconstructing a true “world model” from this “word model” is as challenging as Plato’s prisoners trying to understand the real world from the shadows. This evokes the philosophical task of discerning reality from representation, making a case for a “modern remake of Plato’s Cave” where language, not shadows, limits our understanding of reality.
