Can you pay a few months' advance rent to a private landlord (e.g. look for short term rentals, pay for 3-6 months upfront)? Or just move into a house with roommates for the first year or two?
I have no reason to expect that it is.
> Yes. I've seen lots of twitter/X posts lately about how Gravity is not actually a force.

That is true. Classically, gravity is a fictitious force, merely a result of inertia from moving in a curved space-time.

> But how can that be true if there is a force carrying "gravity" particle? Or is the word 'force' being used loosely here?

Because we _suspect_ that the classical view is not correct. And there's a quantum description that may or may not involve curved space-time.

It's not impossible that the spacetime curvature is a mathematical artifact of a deeper theory. Merely a kinematic explanation, just like epicycles.

It's also possible that the space-time _is_ really curved, and gravitons simply cause the curvature by somehow coupling with it. And then other matter experiences this, in the manner described above.
I'm saying no such thing. I'm saying that that wrong is no excuse for the other wrong.

There are infinite ways to attack any problem, and it's not a requirement but a choice to persue only certain ideas vs others.

For instance, these approaches are based on removing agency from all users for the supposed goal of dealing with the bad users.

But there is no law of physics that says that is the only way to do that.

You could go the opposite direction and empower all users to deal with bad actors themselves just like in real life where anbasshole simply gets avoided or punched in the nose, which works by the simple math that the bad actors are outnumbered by everyone else. They still always exist but they are relegated to operating in the corners and shadows.

But their low level presence is a fact of life no matter what. Oppressive regimes don't get rid of them either. The sales pitch is we'll protect you but in fact they don't any better than you could have yoirself.

A company that has an easier option and has no other value meter than money divorced from any consideration of how it is attained, simply has no incentive to bother doing anything but the easiest thing. That's the only reason they want the keys to your house, because you stupidly give them, not because they need them or have the tiniest right to demand them to protect their entertainment business.
Locks & picks.

This is the war. It's always been the war. It will always be the war. Digital changed the medium but war, war never changes.

The war in unwinnable in any real sense of the word win. However, security does not need to be impenetrable security only needs to dissuade the attacker.

Kernel level, blah-blah-blah, doesn't dissuade cheaters. Those things dissuade legitimate users. It's never the ideology that dissuades those users though as they don't know or care. What dissuades these users are the difficulties that these systems present to the uninformed user.

The typical end user doesn't know how to 'fix-it' when things go wrong. PC vendors won't support the issue. The game publisher won't support the issue. The game developer rarely supports the issue. Kernel level blah-blah-blah causes a blah-blah-blah. Nobody wants to hear it. Nobody wants to fix it.

And, to top off this defecation-confection, the user is left with software that they paid for and cannot use or access. No refunds. Sorry. And, and, and!!! There are still cheaters on the platform. Every platform. There's your f'n cherry.

This is bad for the entire industry.
The Therapist in the Machine
Thanks. That is fair. Your truth, and I respect that.
Do people find these AI auto complete things helpful? I was trying the XCode one and it kept suggesting API calls that don't exist. I spent more time fixing its errors than I would have spent typing the correct API call.
It shouldn't. Google hasn't otherwise seen the image, so the employee couldn't have witnessed a crime. There are reportedly many perfectly legal images that end up in these almost perfectly unaccountable databases.
Between the fraction of my time I spend actually writing code, and how much of the typing time I’m using to think anyway, I dunno how much of an increase in my overall productivity could realistically be achieved by something that just helped me type the code in faster. Probably not 25% no matter how fast it made that part. 5% is maybe possible, for something that made that part like 2-3x faster, but much more than that and it’d run up against a wall and stop speeding things up.
My company opened up a highly technical position in the greater Boston area and we were flooded with 250 applications in a week. Phone screens went out to almost everyone remotely qualified but so much of the applications were spam/YOLO from people from the asian subcontinent, close to 80% were not even remotely qualified. I went out of my way to sift through any qualified female applicants and there were less than five in total and none had the experience we were looking for, even very remotely. In the end we hired a handful very talented people from very different backgrounds and none were from the public channels. We worked with a handful of recruiters that had established relationships with top talent. We also had to fire some recruiters that kept sending us low IQ people.
Not just rack space. At a certain amount of disks you also need to get a separate server (chassis + main board + cpu + ram) to host the disks. Maybe you need that for performance reasons any way. But saving disk space and only paying for it with some ram sounds cost effective.
These numbers are misleading (as in not apples to apples comparison). M4 has a matrix multiply hardware extension which can accelerate code written (or compiled) specifically for this extension.

All of this, when you can just play on console.
I know cheaters theoretically exist there, but in low enough numbers on my PS5 games that they don't impact my user experience.

Kudos to your insane game plan. Gonna be hard to get any marketing from Twitch streamers though.
Funny, I can’t even test this because I’d need to know another neat trick to get my browser to let me actually edit the URL.

Seems that Firefox on mobile allows editing the url for most pages, but on google search results pages, the url bar magically turns into a did-you-mean alternate search selector where I cannot see nor edit a url. Surprised but not surprised.

Sure, there’s a work around for this too, somehow. But I don’t want to spend my life collecting and constantly updating a huge list of temporary hacks to fix things that others have intentionally broken.
well, well, I'm not the best driver. almost hit one idiot in the dark. take it as a warning..

If so, they are executing it badly.

As for every executable being tagged, that is not required. People can build binaries with open tools and other people can run them.

A hash gets created for Apple to play same or different with binaries found to be nefarious somehow. Seems like a reasonable proposition.
RTO mandates are layoffs in disguise, and the NLRB is starting to look hard at employers who may be trying to skirt the WARN act.
If anything I would expect the term “maternal” twin to be used as whether or not a twin is monozygotic or “identical” depends on the amount of eggs from the mother.
This is as clickbaity as it gets.

Trains has no other sensible interpretation in the context of LLM models. My impression was that they trained the models to be better than the models trained by GPUs, presumably because they trained faster and managed to train for longer than Meta, but this interpretation was far from the content.

Also interesting to see the ommission of deepinfra from the price table, presumably because it would be cheaper than Cerebras, though I didnt even bother to check at that point because I hate these cheap clickbaity pieces that attempt to enrich some player at the cost of everyone’s time or money.

Good luck with their IPO. We need competition but we dont need confusion.
Most modern spatulas are silicone, those aren't typically recycled.
thanks! if the plan isn’t insane, why bother.

ps5 can’t play 360hz and can’t use performance mode graphics. consoles are great, but esports will always be on pc.

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

dual pc streaming will work fine. maybe we include obs in the iso at some point, but probably not.

also, this game is mnk only. next game will be controller only. gotta keep inputs standardized or fair play isn’t possible.
> They're toxic

* When heated to high temperatures

Below 450F or so they don't react with anything. PTFE won't react with your egg you're frying, or the inside of your knee. (PTFE is used in surgical implants, among other things that can safely go inside your body)
Space Transportation Mach 4 plane 2x speed of Concorde completes test flight
> Only on smaller models, their numbers are all 70b in the article.

No, they are 5x-10x faster for all the model sizes (because it's all just running from SRAM and they have more of it than NVIDIA/AMD), even though they benchmarked just up to 70B.

> Those numbers also need to be adjusted for the comparable amounts of capex+opex costs. If the costs are so high that they have to subsidize the usage/results, then they are just going to run out of money, fast.

True. Although, for some workloads, fast enough inference is a strict prerequisite and GPUs just don't cut it.
I don't think you understood the argument. I rounded up to 2% to give the most possible benefit of the doubt that anything involving airplane flights matters.

Do you really think that saving .000024% by getting rid of Bezos and Musk's jets is going to delay that complicated feedback loop and buy someone the time to save the world? Do you really think 2% is going to delay anything significantly?

Because I don't see how you can "it's complicated" your way into that belief.
I last took a physics course when Pluto was a planet, so excuse my possibly outdated question, but isn't the detection of gravitational waves proof of gravity being a force?

I follow a few educators/communicators in this field and I have a feeling they're using this "gravity isn't really a force" to bridge the gap between their deep understanding and us mortals that don't poses the language / understanding to get the entire meaning behind it. Is that feeling correct or am I missing something?
Hot pan , cold oil is the trick
That's not quite accurate. There are a few things that the Standard Model doesn't exactly account for--neutrino oscillation being the most famous. The trouble is that these issues aren't really big enough to suggest new physics, and the experiments aren't good enough to really suggest how much patching actually needs to be done.

I hold myself to a higher standard than AI tools are capable of, from my experience. (Maybe some people don't, and that's where the disconnect is between the apologists and the naysayers?)
I find the simpler engines work better.

I want the end of the line completed with focus on context from the working code base, and I don't want an entire 5 line function completed with incomplete requirements.

It is really impressive when it implements a 5 line function correctly, but its like hitting the lottery
If you haven’t read him already, I bet you’d like Saki.
You mention safety as #1, but my impression is that Google has taken a uniquely primitive approach to safety with many of their models. Instead of influencing the weights of the core model, they check core model outputs with a tiny and much less competent “safety model”. This approach leads to things like a text-to-image model that refuses to output images when a user asks to generate “a picture of a child playing hopscotch in front of their school, shot with a Sony A1 at 200 mm, f2.8”. Gemini has similar issue: it will stop mid-sentence, erase its entire response and then claim that something is likely offensive and it can’t continue.

The whole paradigm should change. If you are indeed responsible for developer tools, I would hope that you’re activity leveraging Claude 3.5 Sonnet and o1-preview.
These sorts of motor skills are probably older than mammals.
It’s valid to return the multiplicity of each prime, depending on the goal of this.
It's a bit of an internet meme, gravity can take momentum away from one object and transfer it to another, and that's what Newton said a force was. The meme is that the way it happens makes "changing momentum" (3-momentum, the one Newton was talking about) and "going straight" (geodesically, in curved space-time) hard to separate in English.
Correct. It's how machines can implement new functionality (like multicolor, which entails additional steps like withdrawing the current filament, purging the nozzle of the current color, etc)
> I have noticed some slight muscle loss in my non-dominant arm that is of mild concern but nothing that I am worried about at this time.

Muscle loss large enough to be noticeable is concerning, and muscle loss is one of the side effects of these medications that has me most concerned. How did you notice that your off-arm is weaker?
Blockchain was always a solution looking for a problem.

LLMs are being used right now by a lot of people, myself included, to do tasks which we would have never bothered with before.

Again, if you don't know how to use them you can learn.
I imagine that those who cherished the written word thought similar thoughts when the printing press was invented, when the typewriter was invented, and before excel took over bookkeeping.

My productivity isn't so much enhanced. It's only 1%... 2%... 5%... globally, for each employee.

Have you ever dabbled with, mucked around in, a command line? Autocomplete functions there save millions of man-hour-typing-units per year. Something to think about.

A single employee, in a single task, for a single location may not equal much gained productivity, but companies now think on much larger scales than a single office location.
My naïve understanding is that you can model gravity as a force in a flat, static spacetime. Equivalently you can model gravity as a forceless distortion of curved spacetime. Both models can be translated faithfully into one another, so you can solve problems related to gravity in either domain.
You shouldn't spend that much. If you need an air conditioning system, making it a bidirectional heat pump is negligible unless people are trying to rip you off. (They are)

Are you one of the grifters or just confused?
I’ve managed it.

1) Amazingly smooth, clearly old cast iron pan in an Airbnb. Perfect surface.

2) Cook some of the breakfast sausage they left in the fridge for us (it was a farm)

3) Cook the eggs in the sausage grease.

No sticking at all.

I can’t do this nearly as well in the pan I have. Yeah, yeah, I’ve seasoned it a dozen times. Doesn’t do much, really.
Yep. I would call myself a privacy focused person, but given that Windows is the primary platform for PC gaming, and I trust Microsoft about as far as I can throw a their corporate headquarters, the platform is already compromised. Treat it accordingly, play your games. Maybe watch your adult films and write your memoirs on a different system than your gaming rig.
Is retiring or quitting also breaking a promise?
Technically you shouldn't, but some people don't consider this a loss of credibility as a whole.

The moment Ubuntu started deceptively poisoning their repo with pre-packaged fixup scripts that would violate security policy by fixing/re-enable snap if it was disabled, and installed the related snap packages (without prompts) instead, was the moment I stopped using Ubuntu for anything professional or production grade.

The package manager is apt, visibility is through apt. If I wanted a snap package, I'd use snap to install it. If you use apt-get upgrade, you shouldn't have to worry about third-party idiocy violating security policy without disclosure or notice and automatically fixing disabled services, and then installing the snap packages.

We don't use snap for a reason, it is unnecessary and broad attack surface that is unneeded.
One of my friends put it best: I just did a months worth of experimentation in two hours.

What are you confused about? Their value proposition is very simple and obvious, custom hardware with a compiler that transforms existing graphs into a format that can run at lower cost and higher efficiency because it utilizes a special instruction set only available on Cerebras silicon.
This simply equates OOP to all sorts of antipatterns, which can be done for any paradigm. “Look at all these functions and imports”, “look at all these types”, “this big switch is slow and error-prone”.

Thing is, if you have polymorphism in your OO program, you’ll have a set of non-trivial dispatch points in your non-OO program as well. If you use complex inheritance, you’ll have complex overshared abstractions in your function-based code too. Cause it comes from you, not from OOP.

Non-OOP doesn’t magically save you from employing specific patterns and architecture.

OOP groups functions by data and resolves names based on what’s to the left of a dot. That’s it. Everything else is optional and may be a bad idea independently. Stop chasing these pattern ghosts and use obj.do(things) instead of files 80% full of export-import boilerplates.

OOP simply brings namespace with a value, for your convenience. It’s you who chooses to do the “bad idea” parts.
That sounds like some kind of bias. First of all transgenderism does not seem to me to be more frequent in programmers. I've seen a handful out of like hundreds in the past few years. There might be more of a tendency to seek attention among trans people, or perhaps people like that stand out in your mind as memorable.

If you see lots of trans people where you work, they may very well be hiring or at least referring each other. I've seen that phenomenon with gay people too. Once in a while you'll run across a business with a lot of one kind of person.
dedicated hardware is a good idea, but too expensive for many. dedicated os is a good first step.

> It was then I realized this wasn’t our funeral, it was Google’s.

Yeah, this is a nice thought, but Google is still a ~$3T business and probably will be for at least the next decade or two.

There's no karma or justice in the world, only cutthroat businessmen. And Google hires as many of those as they can.
How would this work if I have snapshots? Wouldn’t then the version of the file I just replaced still be in use there? But maybe I also need to store the copy again if I make another snapshot because the “original “ file isn’t part of the snapshot? So now I’m effectively storing more not less?

All of us having this discussion are outliers.

Put another way, it is all about the set of us who cannot really participate in this discussion.
I'm not really sure what option Google has. It's do or die.
Ok I did not know that.

MS usually don't bother with driver audit... They mostly rely on EV certificate to check driver dev is a proper legal entity.

If they audit properly, they should not let the Asus AuraSync driver certified at the first time. (basically opens PORT instruction to every userland app, unristricted)
No one needs more than 640kB.
Thank you, this crystallized a lot for me.
I haven't read your linked article, but it's crystal clear when you get downranked.

One day your analytics show you're getting less and less traffic from Google, while other sources remain constant. What else could be the reason?
That's right. Comprises like that were essential on PS1. I don't think it detracts from the game in any real way, as you're concentrating on other things.
Automattic motion to dismiss WP Engine lawsuit [pdf]
> That seems like something that would be solvable with location-style differential privacy. Report a number of plausible locations to the client small enough that it can efficiently anticipate them all, but large enough to prevent being able to auto-aim or wall hack. Run some bots or actual player movements recorded from other matches, originating from roughly the same point where you last saw the real opponent.

Has already been done in COD: Warzone. Varying levels of success, cheat developers end up heuristically eliminating fake players.

> Even small violations of continuity seem like they'd be observable server-side, no? I've not studied this, but presumably clients must be constantly phoning home with their position.

This issue usually is game/game-engine dependent and is achieved either by exploiting bugs or manipulating lag compensation. Not exactly a very common thing.
So this is basically the google CEO saying "a quarter of our terminal inputs is written by a glorified tab completion"?
It’s cheaper, but where do you get the initial free credits? It seems most models get such a boost and lock in from the initial free credits.
I don't think it is, but recommending Kagi as a solution for their complaint misses their point.
Cerebras had less chip perimeter to hook up external memory I/O and is memory capacity limited with just SRAM. SRAM circuit size hasn't been scaling nearly as well as logic on recent nodes, but if scaling there had continued to from when Cerebras started it may have worked out better.

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

They could maybe enable some cool real time inference stuff like VR SORA, but that doesn't seem like much of a product market for the cost yet.

Maybe something heavy on inference iteration like an o1 style model that trades training time for more inference, used to process earnings reports the fastest or something zero sum latency war like that will be a viable market. A real time use case that may be viable with cerebras first could be with flexible robotics in ad hoc latency sensitive environments, maybe warfare.

If models keep lasting ~year timescales could we ever see people going with ROM chips for the weights instead of memory? Has density and speed kept up there? Lots of stuff uses identical elements to help make the masks more cheaply, so I don't think you could use something like EUV for ROM where every few um^2 of die is distinct.
