A lot of people here will react to the advocacy cuts, and the idea that advocacy make up such a large portion of the workforce.

30 percent seemed like a lot, but I think it's just 30 percent of the foundation's direct staff. I suspect the corporation employs more people than the foundation? So stuff like development is not included in that count.

I do wonder if the cuts are because of anticipation of lower search revenue from Google with tech restricting legislation on the horizon and google's focus pivoting to AI.
That’s arguably a good thing. You station a cop there to deal with problems as they happen, and the trouble stays localized to that building.
The Most Controversial Nobel Prize in Recent Memory
The OSI made a huge mistake in choosing to use an non-trademarkable borrowed term as their own trade industry term. The original (and quite long standing) use to refer to publicly available texts is still widely used, and English isn't a prescriptive language outside of legal frameworks like trademark. This is why you really should pick a trademarkable name when you try to define trade marks.

AtomicWaker is much less bad, because it will only spin in the case that another thread has spuriously called `wake` – i.e. called `wake` despite that fact that the future it’s waking is in fact unable to progress.

In the common case, the waker side will operate some logic like:

set_flag();
atomic_waker.wake();

and the future will run:

atomic_waker.register(cx.waker());
if flag_is_set() {
Poll::Ready(())
} else {
Poll::Pending
}

Thus, even if `register` decides to “spin”, the flag will already be set, and so the future will not spin in reality (it may be polled unnecessarily, but this will only happen once).

I can’t immediately think of examples where support for spurious waking is necessary.
Outdated info. AMD / TSMC has beat Intel at efficiency for years. Intel has fallen behind. We need them to catch up and provide strong competition.

Intel has just been removed from the Dow index. They are under performing on multiple levels

Yep, though the nuance is again important. Hardship is a tricky thing because being able to max out a credit card or get other loans including ones under terrible terms means many otherwise hardship situations don’t qualify.
Oh my mistake. I wonder what the benchmarks would look like without the wake loop
Here's a very interesting interview with the Kalshi founder to get his takes on many things people are talking about. https://youtu.be/atGcvlEO4qU

Stuff they talk about include:

- 90% male bias on Kalshi.

- Polymarket is all crypto so that probably introduces bias.

- He says 60/40 is still a coin flip.

- Prediction markets are just another sentiment tracker, that the 60/40 is still a coin flip race.

You should really add that Python is also a very good tool for people who know more performant languages. I think one of the sides which often gets forgotten is that a lot of software will never actually need to be very performant and often you’re not going to know the bottlenecks beforehand.
If you even get to the bottlenecks it means you’ve succeeded enough to get to the bottlenecks. Somewhere you might not have gotten if you over engineered things before you needed it.

What makes Python brilliant is that it’s easy to deliver on business needs. It’s easy to include people who aren’t actually software engineers but can write Python to do their stuff. It’s easy to make that Wild West code sane. Most importantly, however, it’s extremely easy to replace parts of your Python code with something like C (or Zig).

So even if you know performant languages, you can still use Python for most things and then as glue for heavy computation.

Now I may have made it sound like I think Python is brilliant so I’d like to add that I actually think it’s absolute trash. Loveable trash.

Small side note: if you want your plants to survive, looking up the species and what care it needs can go a long way. Most potted plants don't want direct sunlight and don't want to be close to a source of heat (radiator) or cold (window this time of year). Many plants want to be watered in a specific way and don't want too much of it. That being said, some plants just die, that's the way it is.

Don't forget that a massive part of their income that allowed them to survive was selling carbon credits to the tune of billions of dollars, and that their cars have been massively discounted due to federal subsidies on EV cars (depending on your income level.... which btw doesn't apply to just them but makes a big difference).
Polymarket was set up by Thiel to manipulate perception on election. Don't arbitrage it's overly high Trump prediction because he won't pay out for Kamala.
I think it’s very hard to say, and it just gets harder the more I think about it (like many things tend to).

On one hand, if the condemning evidence can’t be provided by someone other than me, should the case be prosecutable?

On the other hand, any sentient human can come up with examples of cases where it might be reasonable to search my belongings for evidence; multiple independent witnesses point to me being guilty of murder and investigations have otherwise stalled. Or anything of the sort.

What if all the independent witnesses are not independent? What if I’m not the guy, but just a lookalike? What if I’m being set up by the authorities?

The easy thing to do here is to say well okay SOMETIMES it’s okay to search one’s belongings but not for like any silly reason or anything like it has to be a real serious one. Then it’s just a matter of where to draw the lines, and who should get to decide.

I like the more absolute stance I made earlier; the government shouldn’t have any business in my personal belongings. Some crimes will go unpunished and that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
> Note that I was answering to a list of measurements software developers could make. You seem to argue on the topic of reliability.

Those are not distinct categories. I was making the point that many of the things you mentioned referred to how well they improve the lives of users. These things are analogous to ergonomics, comfort, aesthetic requirements for many objects. I'm saying that those concerns come after you have built something that does not fail often.

> and most bugs are not life threatening.

Neither are most physical defects in many products, but they are still taken care of before being pushed out the door. Tesla may wish to use its users as paid beta testers, but most automakers actually test their stuff before selling it.

> Less reliability in software compared to many engineered stuff for cheaper production is apparently a common (and most certainly reasonable) tradeoff we are willing to make.

This is a tradeoff made by the companies, not be the people using it. I am forced to use Teams at work regardless of how shitty a piece of software it is. Most software companies simply don't have the kind of competition required to require them to make good software. Why spend engineering dollars on improving teams when you can bundle it and have employers force it on their employees.
RAM for 4-bit is 1GB per 2 billion parameters. So you will want 256GB RAM and at least one GPU. If you only have one server and one user, it's the full parameter count. (If you have multiple GPUs/servers and many users in parallel, you can shard and route it so you only need the active parameter count per GPU/server. So it's cheaper at scale.)

Just wondering how much did you pay for it? Here in Spain I also can't get it in my 40s and it costs 800 euro, which is a lot on a Spanish wage. And the doctors say there isn't much point because I've probably been exposed already (considering number of partners that's likely). And then the effectiveness is supposed to be massively reduced. Still, if it were 200€ I'd do it. There's only one place here where I can get it so I wonder if it's cheaper elsewhere.

Lots of people confusing the Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit that "steers" the Mozilla mission, with the Mozilla Corporation, which is the for-profit that makes Firefox. They're two different organizations: the Foundation has literally nothing to do with Firefox.

The AI training algorithms are deterministic given the same dataset, same model architecture, and same set of hyperparameters. The main reasons the models would not be identical is due to differing random seeds and precision issues. The differences would not be due to any creative decisions.
I think it comes down to executives believing that they should offshore any role that is done remotely since it is cheaper to do so. Therefore, Americans are only (maybe?) worth the wage premium that they command if they go to a shared office.

But local tax breaks are a compelling explanation also.
yeah it could go that direction too: "hey, you paid these people to find bugs, they found one, you paid them a princely sum, and this exploit that cost the company $X Million was based on that bug. Why are you paying people to help hackers destroy your company?!?"
Even with temperature = 0, LLMs are still non-deterministic, as their internal, massively parallelized calculations are done with floating point arithmetic, which is order-dependent. Running the same LLM with the exact same parameters multiple times might still yield slightly different probabilities in the output, making this watermarking scheme even less robust.
Hmmm, could a long generation banana plant be considered ancient? Assuming the line was kept in place for centuries.
One reason for the popularity of that growing could be the accumulation of online things old enough to care about and enough sources to be able to track things down. I mean, only a decade ago some things were still fresh while now they're worthy of some research. See for example Jeffiot working with the community to track down the source of the vision test pattern (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D7I7fmZdOA) or the trumpet skull gif (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYcHOEjGzPA). In 2000s the information wouldn't be out there for the first one and the tools and community would be missing too. The second one would be just one of millions of gifs that nobody really cares about yet.

There is at least a parameter called Temperature which decides how much randomness to include in the output.

It doesn't get you perfectly deterministic output to set it to 0 though, per https://medium.com/google-cloud/is-a-zero-temperature-determ... as you don't have perfect control over what approximations are being made on your floating point operations

You're assuming that STDs are the only thing keeping everyone from having 'infinite worldwide orgies'. That's certainly not the case. I think that's a very minor factor considering a condom takes most of that worry away already and most people never participate in an orgy in their life.

I do but I'm pretty kinky (and poly) :P but most people have pretty monogamous sex lives. It's societal standards that stop people from doing this, or they simply have no interest.

It's not like most married or dating couples are like "Hey will we do a movie or an orgy tonight? Let's do the movie because I'm worried about STDs". Could you really imagine that? Most people abhor the idea of having sex with lots of random people :)

In a society that didn't have all this ingrained religious programming that sex is somehow bad it might be true but this is not our reality.
I agree with the stance that companies like Google, Meta, et al are taking. Politics, like religion, should be strictly a personal matter and not be used to push a personal belief onto a larger group. As the GP noted, one is free to leave their employer if they don't agree with the latter's policies; they can't (and shouldn't be allowed to) force their viewpoints on others.
This is so weird to me. It's not an interoperable standard. It isn't even interoperable on Linux, the one OS where it's popular.
The page doesn't say that these were predefined assembler macros provided by IBM. I'm tending toward the interpretation that the Lisp guys themselves (likely Russel) wrote these macros as part of the assembly language implementation of the interpreter. Which means they specified them to the assembler, rather than the other way around.
Doesn't the corporation fund the foundation as well though?
Sure, if one assumes people will focus on traditional CMOS design, and high-volume rapid fab processes.

> The only really significant question is the account of James.

One passage. One. In a text, where the other passage is accepted to be forgery, and which comes to us as a copy by Christian scribes. And if it is specifically Carrier that you dismiss, take a look at Nicholas Allen's recent book that I referenced in my previous comment. Allen uses arguments that are independent from Carrier's and comes to a conclusion that is even more radical than his — while Carrier accepts the James passage on the whole and only suggests that the "who was called Christ" line started as a marginal note by a Christian peruser of the text, Allen argues that the whole James passage is a forgery. And he seems to be a modern mainstream scholar trained in philology and ancient and classical history.

> Plants on the contrary tolerate much more damage. To the point that we develop new species by bombarding seeds with ionized radiation.

Years ago, I worked with this microbe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinococcus_radiodurans).

"Deinococcus radiodurans is capable of withstanding an acute dose of 5,000 grays (Gy), or 500,000 rad, of ionizing radiation with almost no loss of viability, and an acute dose of 15,000 Gy with 37% viability.[14][15][16] A dose of 5,000 Gy is estimated to introduce several hundred double-strand breaks (DSBs) into the organism's DNA (~0.005 DSB/Gy/Mbp (haploid genome)). For comparison, a chest X-ray or Apollo mission involves about 1 mGy, 5 Gy can kill a human ...."

Some enterprising researchers must have considered engineering this microbe to produce useful products in space, but I don't travel in these circles anymore.

It's not about finding old packages, it's about not finding the magical compatible set of package versions.

Pip is nice in that you can install packages individually to get around some version conflicts. But with conda and npm and CRAN I have always found my stuck without being able to install dependencies after 15 minutes of mucking.

Its rare that somebody has left the equivalent of the output of a `pip freeze` around to document their state.

With snakemake, I abandoned conda and went with pip in a venv, without filing an issue. Perhaps it was user error from being unfamiliar with conda, but I did not have more time to spend on the issue, much less doing the research to be able to file a competent issue and follow up later on.

“just”... The DMA is intentionally vague about how to comply and the EU refuses to tell companies ahead of time whether their plans to comply are actually in compliance. When the amount of money at stake over the long term is far more than the fine, getting fined is the more cost effective option to learn the EU’s actual expectations. This is “just” the incentive structure the EU created. They could avoid most of this by working with gatekeepers to preclear their plans and avoid the wasted time. But I think the EU actually likes the unnecessary noise because it makes it clear they are doing something rather than quietly ensuring compliance. There is a perverse incentive for them not to cooperate to achieve their goals efficiently.
