In the nearest urban center the meters don't take cash. The machines also do not take direct payment. The kiosk on each block also does not take payments of any kind. They force you to use a 3rd party app not actually owned by the city.

There is zero way to pay for parking unless you have a smart phone and data. I have no idea why no one has sued for access yet.

You're correct Microsoft ruined their own reputation with Internet explorer but does that mean when a company utterly fails with one of their products to the point that a competitor can come in and dominate the marketplace we should somehow automatically reward the one who failed.

If it's really anti-competitive practices then I would agree but if it's just market forces then we should not reward those who've already mismanage their ability and their dominant market position to lose out in such a short period of time.
I'm not denying that these are worlds apart—it's simply not a materially-meaningful term.

Ok sure, but surely NATO wouldn't exist if there were some assumption Russia weren't a threat?
NATO has engaged in a dozen wars and conflicts as aggressors.

A careful examination of the list below suggests that, in terms of your choice of the words "dozen" and "aggressor", the way they are usually meant in English -- you're definitely stretching things, here.

I have found the summaries reasonably good, with 1 exception it got completely wrong, but I only ever want them to summarise a stack of notifications from the same app, and never a single notification. Unfortunately there is no setting for that currently, it's all or nothing.

Would be nice if they had an option only to summarise multiple notifications in a stack, and not to summarise once you expand them.

Especially since so often its summarising a message that is barely longer than the summary. It seems to sometimes decide not to do that, but still so often does.
Cease and desist letters.

There are many, many people, and companies who operate under the false belief that the CAN-SPAM act does not apply to them; and eg create new mailing lists to blast many people with their spam. Some of these unfortunately includes corps I have business relationship with (looking at you, Google), so "mark as spam" doesn't work well. Cease and desisting their legal department does. I have changed marketing strat of multiple largecorps by being a dangerous professional.

I agree people should be aware of the bias of their sources (all of them), but there's no reason for anyone to be mistaken about Reason. (Please forgive the wording, I couldn't think of better.)

I never said the police's problems were on display with this case. In fact i think the case is largely meaningless to the topic. the threat of swatting is going to remain until the police can be brought under some kind of democratic control.

At any significant scale the sequencing cost would be much lower than the tariff. You wouldn't have to do it for every tree since they're all clones.

It's just nice because it's verifiable at any point in the supply chain without requiring oversight at every point. You'd only have to pay for the sequencing:

- when adding a new cultivar to the list of ones that are legal to sell

- during sting operations

The threat of being fined/jailed should be enough to get the market to police itself. No need to add bureaucracy in the middle.
No it doesn't. We don't have DNA from 100 or even 50 years ago. These genetic tests are essentially geographical.

For example, there are tens of millions of people in Africa and Latin America who unknowingly have mixed ancestry and will be labeled in the data set as being "from X country."

That will mean the dataset thinks European genes might indicate Latin American descent or vice versa.
i wish people wouldn't make stuff up just to sound cool.

like do you have actual experience with gov/edu HPC? i doubt it because you couldn't be more wrong - lab HPC clusters are just very very poorly (relative to FAANG) strewn together nodes. there is absolutely no sense in which they are "one single machine" (nothing is "abstracted over" except NFS).

what you're saying is trivially false because no one ever requests all the machines at once (except when they're running linpack to produce top500 numbers). the rest of the time the workflow is exactly like in any industrial cluster: request some machines (through slurm), get those machines, run your job (hopefully you distributed the job across the nodes correctly), release those machines. if i still had my account i could tell you literally how many different jobs are running right now on polaris.
Yeah, comparing to zero is still the wrong thing to do, was dissatisfied after reading the article because the problem still isn't really solved.. just swapping one spooky edge case with another.

Who knows, they probably broke the menu for keyboard navigation, voice navigation, eye tracking or something like that. This is one of those cases where you could really "make it make sense" by just using something CSS based.
Maslow 4: Large format CNC routing made accessible
They had a submission 8 years ago[1] but I came across the YouTube announcement[2] of their new 4.1 Kickstarter campaign[3]. It only seeks $16,000 of which they've currently raised $249,000 based in no small part that they've already shipped several successful releases, I'd guess

Their project is open source[4], GPLv3 for the on-device software and CC-BY-SA 4 for the cad files

I’m not sure, but per the article it’s a continuation of it’s beginning:

Animation helps to correlate screen elements. Without animation it actually takes longer to establish the mental relationship between the action and the result.
The hash function in Git is a cryptographic hash.

The reason that Git is not a Blockchain has nothing to do with its choice of hash function. Rather a Blockchain has a procedure through which nodes decide what successor is acceptable, Git doesn't care it allows all successors.

Kafka has a procedure for consensus which determines who can declare what the successor is.
Mozilla has ~700 employees just to keep an ailing browser on life support. Brave has ~250 employees, but they're building largely on Google's core engine, so they're getting a ton of engineering for free.

Browsers are massive. I'm pretty sure the complexity is exceeding the complexity of the Linux kernel. You can pull off heroics with fewer people, but if you want to build a company that brings in revenue, has a security team and a privacy team... all of sudden, it's a pretty big enterprise.
So they burnt out on it. That's fair. Then the managerial "owner" of the franchise should step back and let someone else run with it. It's a company, with $$$$$, not a single team. They could honestly do it right now - but by now it'd have to be a good story.

Story is key. Hire someone to get a good story going and then motivate from that. There's a billion things you can do in that universe.

I was hoping they were going to reinvigorate HL3 when they got the Portal people on. I don't need more and different engine mechanics, I just want a good story.

Give me a level where I'm dual wielding gravity gun and portal gun while floating in a space suit and directing bouncy goop where I need it.

Play with scale, let me push a planet through a portal or by opening a big portal on each of two planets let their gravity mean they smash together oh so slowly. Hell, make that the background motivation that means I have to get my shit done fast.

But tell a good story please.
This is astonishingly fast. I’m struggling to get over 100 tok/s on my own Llama 3.1 70b implementation on an 8x H100 cluster.

I’m curious how they’re doing it. Obviously the standard bag of tricks (eg, speculative decoding, flash attention) won’t get you close. It seems like at a minimum you’d have to do multi-node inference and maybe some kind of sparse attention mechanism?
I mean, maybe if you look at their self reported numbers. Have you been on reddit lately? It's a vapid place full of spam, corporate narrative control around their entertainment products, the most engaging real spaces are all dead.

I am wondering how much cost is needed for serving at such a latency. Of course for customers, static cost depends on the pricing strategy. But still, the cost really determines how widely this can be adopted. Is it only for those business that really need the latency, or this can be generally deployed.

This is a genetic fallacy. The origins of policing don’t give you sufficient information to judge its present quality. Further, as many have also pointed out, many places didn’t even have slave patrols. Drawing a connection between contemporary Waco cops and Jim Crow is dubious but drawing that connection to e.g. LAPD is entirely unjustified. Bad police departments resemble something more akin to the Catholic Church than the KKK.

Assuming you are not making the entirely reductionist argument that requires every law be tied back to capital (in other words, murder is illegal because it brings down property values or something) this is an extremely narrow view of the purpose of police. This everything-is-capital framing doesn’t explain consumer protections or environmental laws or labor laws.

The purpose of police is to enforce the laws. Many of those laws have been significantly and disproportionately controlled by corporate and monied interests but again there are too many clear counterexamples to conclude as you did.
Oh man, the days of no dev tools. Man it really is incredible to think how far things have come.
how much memory do you need to run fp8 llama 3 70b - can it potentially fit 1 H100 GPU with 96GB RAM?

In other words, if you wanted to run 8 separate 70b models on your cluster, each of which would fit into 1 GPU, how much larger your overall token output could be than parallelizing 1 model per 8 GPUs and having things slowed down a bit due to NVLink?
Mostly I agree with you but sharing URL’s to resources is vastly better on the web. So is distributing updates.
If something bad happened to a mostly empty Russian shadow tanker in the Gulf of Finland, that impact is going to be mostly confined to Russia. i.e. past the major Finnish and Estonian ports.

As long as we're all playing silly only-kinda-deniable games, that's an option on the table.
Wait—that last state doesn't make sense. With a real door, you can technically turn the key while it's open, but does that meaningfully change its state? Yet our model allows this impossible combination.

Funnily enough, I have a physical door & lock that OFTEN gets in to this state - it's exactly as irritating as it sounds, and it has very meaningful impact on it's state (it then can't be closed without first unlocking the lock!)
Cerebras is a chip company. They are not using GPUs. Their chip uses wafer scale integration which means it's the physical size of a whole wafer, dozens of GPUs in one.

They have limited memory on chip (all SRAM) and it's not clear how much HBM bandwidth they have per wafer. It's a completely different optimization problem than running on GPU clusters.
It is legal to shout "fire", more or less. Or at least there's no prior restraint.

I wouldn't suggest it, because there's plausibly various laws that apply where you live, and it would be expensive to get them thrown out. Unless there's an actual fire, of course.
It's very weird to see that same point brought up multiple times in this thread. It makes me worried that this all was cooked up my M$ all along (A company which doesn't have any antitrust litigation being brought against them despite putting ads in their latest operating system)
Custom hardware has always been hard and expensive. It's really amazing that this can be done for just $45. Playing with tech like this is usually for the appeal of it in itself, which is what makes the price worth paying.

That said, It would be nice to know the cost breakdown and what kind of price could ultimately be achieved if someone came up with a use that needed 10,000 of these.

I kind of like the idea of a tiny game console that had something like a RP2040 inside and these were its game cartridges. Use an actual microSD for purely software games, and the FPGA for cool experimental stuff.
Sure, but I don't mind it for half an hour a month, assuming I didn't leave it charging during my lunch break already.
This absolutely needs to happen.

The main problem is that, thanks to Chrome's massive market share, Google is in a position where they can effectively dictate the future of the Web as a platform.

We've already seen a few instances of this: Manifest v3 and FLoC/Privacy Sandbox, for example, were met with widespread opposition, but eventually they made their way into Chrome; WEI, on the other hand, was withdrawn due to backlash, but make no mistake, it will come back at some point.

The current state of Web standards can be summed up as: whatever Chrome does is the standard. The other browsers have to follow along, either because their modest market share doesn't afford them the luxury to be incompatible with Chrome, or because they're based on Chromium, so they hardly have a choice. The only exception is Apple, but let's be honest, they only do so because of their own business interests.

Ideally, Chrome/Chromium should be spun off as an independent non-profit foundation set up to act in the public interest. Obviously there would be trade-offs: a slower development cycle, new features taking longer to be shipped, etc. But in my opinion that's far preferrable to having Google continue to exert this level of control over the Web.

Unfortunately, the current administration has two months left in its term, so it's not going to happen.
Would you care to share your prompts?

They posted a haystack benchmark in the blog post that seems too good to be true.
Cerebras makes CPUs with ~1 million cores, and they're inferring on that not on GPUs. It's an entirely different architecture which means no network involved. It's possible they're doing this significantly from CPU caches rather than HBM as well.

I recommend the TechTechPotato YouTube videos on Cerebras to understand more of their chip design.
Or, existing for much longer than the yt personalities: Japanese idols. Unique but replaceable, idealised personas worshipped by lots of people. They're also the parasocial relationship magnets.
They are doing it with custom silicon with several times more area than 8x H100s. I’m sure they are doing some sort of optimization at execution/runtime, but the primary difference is the sheer transistor count.

> The number of jobs replaced, the number of jobs where the only parts capable of bringing joy will be automated away

This assumes that people are employed only because of their productivity, and that productivity can be replaced with AI.

You can't AI-away bureaucracy, because a bureaucracy's incentives are not efficiency or productivity, but the perpetuation of bureaucracy. Sure, in the future a lot of the "actual" work might be done by AI - but right now a lot of that "actual" work is done by a relatively small number of employees.

Ah, makes a lot more sense now.
1. Why does it open a new tab when creating an account?

2. Why does it ask for my email in a confusing way later? If you are not going to let me play directly, just do the usual sign up process.

3. I selected the Stripe option and I couldn't understand a thing.

4. Then I went back, create a new page (slug?) and got the AI to generate some code. Clicked preview and instead got the Stripe pages? I later "figured out" that I have to click the "mouse arrow" button to get the preview.

Honestly, overall, I couldn't make any sense of the interface. It's not intuitive. Lots of buttons all over the place. I don't know what's happening, where my files at, and how everything fits together. I also can only see this being useful for creating a very simple landing page. So maybe I am just not the target market for this.
Are you saying the linked is meant to demonize science? The impression I got was that he was doing the exact opposite: saying that SciAm's editorial direction was harming the public perception of science, which could have far-reaching effects. I don't see that as an anti-science stance.
Almost as an aside the article makes an interesting point: memory accesses can block. Presumably if it blocks because it's accessing a piece of hardware the operating system schedules another thread on that core ... but what if it blocks on a 'normal' memory access? Does it stall the core entirely? Can 'hyperthreading' briefly run another thread? Does out of order execution make it suddenly not a problem? Surely it doesn't go all the way down to the OS?
Yes that's my mother.

I would describe this someone who does not know how to collaborate, maybe they don't know the balance they need between give and take, maybe they do not know how to format their ideas so they are understood by the group, maybe there is some fundamental misunderstanding. Since the tool of collaboration is not working for them, they reach for other tools to leverage and achieve their goals, like argument by authority via a convenient best practice.

The best practice/standard was not the issue, lack of context for the best practice was the the issue, the lack of collaboration or ability therein is the issue.

It's still local governments designing the water treatment systems, working with suppliers and local polluters, designating water source uses, setting the local quality standards (which may be different than the federal standards), collecting monitoring data, granting discharge permits, getting funding, handling lawsuits, filing state level reports, and so on. I'm barely even scratching the surface of how much is involved with modern infrastructure either.

I don't understand why you think an agency nationally coordinating all the local governments' efforts and making reports to Congress should exist at any level below the federal.
