My understanding of the docs is that the device does indeed implement the SD storage protocol and not SD I/O subset.

Their docs say it shows up as an unformatted 20MB disk when you plug it in and that you can interact with the device via `dd`: https://c0-microsd-docs.signaloid.io/

I've found that "best practice" generally means "what you will not get fired for doing". Sometimes it is a good practice. Sometimes it's something the higher-ups read about in CTO magazine and decided that everybody now must do. I'd say use your individual judgement, but depending on your role and the company, using your own judgement may be beyond your pay grade.
what kind of yield do they get on that size?
Ahh, thank you. Still very new to go :)

I'm keeping myself busy working on my BitGrid architecture, I aim to route around the 80 years of technical debt started by John von Neumann. One of his first casualties was ENIAC, which was slowed down by about 80% when it was "improved"[1]

BitGrid[2] is a green field approach, and I need an accountability buddy to keep me focused. Replacing everything is hard.

One thing that helps me and not mentioned here is to have unique email per sender. You can get random emails from icloud or fastmail.

I have my own setup where all emails to a special domain go to my inbox. I create and give emails like nike@fake.mydomain.com

This helps me to easy unsubscribe by filtering by “to” field but also to find who leaked email.
Tesla was just found to be the most dangerous car brand, at literally double the national average of fatalities per billion miles. (National average 2.8, Tesla 5.6 fatalities per billion miles.) The model Y has above 10 fatalities per billion miles. Insurance companies are refusing to insure the Cybertruck and some places are refusing to allow them to park. People have burned alive in Tesla vehicles because they couldn't figure out how to open the doors.

I don't know that engineering principles that lead to horrific deaths and uninsurable vehicles are sound engineering strategies.

And I know some folks are going to say, "but spaceX!" To which I'll say, "Gwynne Shotwell runs that show. That company does everything it can to avoid letting Musk touch things".

Twitter has been steadily declining. Their competitors are absolutely skyrocketing in popularity in no small part to engineering decisions at Twitter. (Though, admittedly, that one is probably less an engineering failure than a policy one.)

But what about the Boring Company, they've... made a few small tunnels I guess?

If these are the results of his engineering principles, I think maybe there's good reason to consider whether they might actually be more harmful than beneficial.

Here's the thing: in a market where almost all the new car buyers are affluent and can afford "wealthy country luxury," it's no wonder that small, economic penalty boxes like the Chevy Spark and Ford Fiesta get discontinued left and right when you think about how depreciation and the used market works.

I think you'd have to be batshit insane to buy a brand new Mitsubishi Mirage for $17k when the used market is flooded with much better cars that are barely used for the same price.

You can get a 2021 Hyundai Sonata with under 30,000 miles for that kind of money. Basically, a brand new car, one that's far larger, more refined, faster, more features, etc.

Those economy boxes make a lot of sense in countries where buying something higher end is less attainable. But in a world where someone leases a $40,000 car for 3 years, dumps it back to the dealership, a $20,000 new car can't compete with an originally-$40,000 3-year-old car with 30,000 miles.

Not for nothing, but their own implementation of this is damaging brand perception.
Yes, they provide solutions for homework.
> I think inexperienced developers write complex code because it's difficult to write simple code and they don't know how yet, not because they're trying to make it complex.

From what I've been seeing, inexperienced developers write complex code because they are trained with a bias towards accidentally complex code (i.e., how else would you show off design patterns), they have no experience in dealing with the tradeoffs of writing accidentally complex code, and they do not understand the problems they create for themselves and others by adding complexity where they do not need it.

I'd frame accidental complexity in the same class as dead code: inexperienced developers might be oblivious to the risk presented by codd that serves no purpose, but experienced developers know very well the ticking time bomb nature of it.
As a backend engineer, I think I'll fall in love with it. :)
Not sure if it meant to be joke but I do value things besides salary. I literally accepted offer with 40% drop recently. Salary is important and it doesn’t make sense to work for free. But after some threshold increase is salary doesn’t change life drastically. But not spending 40 hours doing boring stuff changes life a lot.

I suggest you revisit the history of the first days of the invasion, specifically the depth which the ground armored forces reached in the first 2-3 days and what and how they were stopped. The Baltic states "width" is much smaller, and thus there is much less time to organize defense, etc. It is hardly enough time even just for taking the decision to initiate defense. Of course, like in the case with Ukraine, Russia wouldn't succeed if the quick invasion turns instead into a face-to-face war midway. That is why they are looking for a way to create blackout and chaos.
Batched reward model inference and Best-of-N sampling
Basically, I think you're making more stuff up to substitute for the lack of argument in the previous stuff you've made up, which isn't related to the main point.

So, no, of course you guessed wrong again in your 1-4
This feels like a severe motte and bailey. The motte is “neuron count is not perfectly linearly correlated with sentience” and the bailey is “neuron count has no reliable correlation with sentience”.

The priors referenced in the “technical details” doc (and good lord, why does everything about this require me to dereference three or four layers of pointers to get to basic answers to methodological questions?) appear to be based entirely on proxies like:

> Responses such as moving away, escaping, and avoidance, that seem to account for noxious stimuli intensity and direction.

This is a proxy that applies to slime molds and Roombas, yet I notice that neither of those made the table. Why not?

I suspect that the answer is that at least when it comes to having zero neurons, the correlation suddenly becomes pretty obviously reliable after all.

Founder of JuiceFS here, congrats to the Launch! I'm super excited to see more people doing creative things in the using-S3-as-file-system space. When we started JuiceFS back in 2017, applied YC for 2 times but no luck.

I don't see why that's inevitable? You're not explaining the reasoning that got you there.

"If we had a reliable list of people without empathy, anyone on that list would not have empathy." is not an accusation, it's a truism.

> You clearly have no empathy [...] You are the monster you fought against.

This might be the worst internet diagnosis I've ever seen.

NSA's OAKSTAR, STORMBREW, BLARNEY and FAIRVIEW
Based on their S1 filing and public statements, the average cost per WSE system for their (~90% of their total revenue) largest customer is ~$1.36M, and I’ve heard “retail” pricing of $2.5M per system. They are also 15U and due to power and additional support equipment take up an entire rack.

The other thing people don’t seem to be getting in this thread that just to hold the weights for 405B at FP16 requires 19 of their systems since it is SRAM only… rounding up to 20 to account for program code + KV cache for the user context would mean 20 systems/racks, so well over $20M. The full rack (including support equipment) also consumes 23kW, so we are talking nearly half a megawatt and ~$30M for them to be getting this performance on Llama 405B
Wow, thanks for coming out! I hope that you're heartened to see the number of people who immediately think of JuiceFS when they see our launch. I totally agree with you, storage is such an interesting space to work in, and I'm excited that there are so many great products out there to fit the different needs of customers.

The question here is not "does an animation have worth", but how is that worth tied to whether an onclick event originated from the mouse or the keyboard? Your reasoning applies equally to both, and thus leaves us still confused: why are we varying the animation by input device?

If you look at the Wikipedia entry on the Nyquist Sampling Theorem, you should note that the summations to reconstruct the original signal go from negative infinity to positive infinity. In other words, that sum requires an infinite number of samples.

There are many signals of practical interest that can be approximately reconstructed with a finite truncation of the series. Note, however, that any signal that has only a finite length, eg has a uniformly zero amplitude after some time t_final, does not have a finite bandwidth, and cannot be exactly reconstructed by any sampling scheme. This is the case whenever you stop sampling a signal, eg it is always the case whenever you step outside the mathematical abstraction and start running real code on a real computer. So any signal reconstructed from samples is always approximate, except for some relatively trivial special cases.
Ah! That does make more sense!
> Test scores accurately measure learning.

I think you claim to much here. Or are using odd definitions, to me at least.

Sure you can extract something about what has been learned with properly made tests administered correctly. It is the tool that is used because it is the tool we have, not because it 'measures learning' in all the ways we want to measure.
The case last year with the gas pipeline, the Chinese / Russian owned left Kaliningrad, and then while sailing, dropped its anchor before the pipeline and cable, and then dragged it over them, and then raised it. It was apparently accidental, yet both the Chinese and Russians didn't want the crew interviewed, the Estonian and the Finnish authorities both shrugged and didn't really care, and the Estonian energy prices were severly impacted for ~9 months.

IMO very very likely sabotage, and brushed under the rug in fear of Russian escalation.
Storage is cheap, database indexes work. Just add a `TimesChecked` counter to your bug tracker.

Now when considering priorities, consider not just impact and age, but also times checked.

It's less expensive than going and deleting stuff. Unless you're automating deletions? In which case... I don't think I can continue this discussion.

I used retool briefly and ended up choosing windmill instead. I self host it and find it incredibly useful for prototyping. It’s very robust and the end product actually works quite well.

I wouldn’t ship an actual product with heaps of users from windmill but it’s perfectly capable of proving concepts, and the workflows are excellent.

I do have one product I built entirely in windmill but you’d never be able to tell. It isn’t online right now. It was essentially a scheduled script for fetching smoke forecast data from government websites, a react front end, and a tile server which sent map tiles to the client containing the smoke forecast data. The performance was totally fine and the UI was nice, but I built that part mostly by hand rather than exclusively with their WYSIWYG editor.
Thank you, far better answer than mine! Those are indeed wild numbers, although interestingly "only" 23kw, I'd expect the same level of compute in GPUs to be quite a lot more than that, or at least higher power density.
Depends on what the meaning of "is" is.
Of course it is. None of that is relevant, my younger coworkers only qa in Chrome so it’s IE 5.5 all over again.
I like the principles and I do like my Tesla Model 3.

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62919131/tesla-has-highes...

"The study's authors make clear that the results do not indicate Tesla vehicles are inherently unsafe or have design flaws." ...

"So, why are Teslas — and many other ostensibly safe cars on the list — involved in so many fatal crashes? “The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities,” iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer said in the report. “A focused, alert driver, traveling at a legal or prudent speed, without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is the most likely to arrive safely regardless of the vehicle they’re driving."

EDIT:

Model 3 not on the list.

There aren't a lot of details on the methodology. I'd like to see someone else crunch the numbers.

IPv6 is the latest internet protocol that offers a much larger address space than IPv4, addressing the growing demand for unique IP addresses. It also improves network efficiency, security, and performance. While IPv6 adoption is still growing, enabling it in your home can future-proof your network and optimize performance, especially for devices like smart home gadgets. To set it up, check if your ISP supports IPv6, ensure your router is compatible, and enable IPv6 in your router’s settings https://www.wellstar-mychart.com
thanks for linking that leetcode link; the entire time i've been reading about it i thought it was a separate programming language used for these "challenges" at workplaces. I'm not a programmer by trade so i was surprised to see python is usable, too.

Sorry for asking you (i'm not, just shouting into the ethernet) - when people say they take a few months off to "grind leetcode" do they just go through the problems on that site? When an employer issues a challenge it's going to be exactly worded as when you practiced? like, the potential employer in your experience gave you that URL and said "go"?

> Also, if a product claims to be Milk and it isn't, that fact should be stated to stop confusion.

Centuries of past labeling disagree with you here. Non-dairy "milks" have been called "milk" for ages. That's going to be impractical to change.

> Milk is already a listed ingredient of milk and butter. It does not need an extra label.

"Explicitly and separately listing allergen classes of a food product in addition to listing specific allergenic ingredients in the ingredients list." is the entire practice most of the folks in these threads are talking about. If you disagree that that practice has any value, then we are not going to have much of anything to agree on.
Pagination tokens have been a bane to my existence. I'm basically this backend engineer. Have done these exact steps. Between worry the frontend will decide and annoyance at explaining how tokens work, I am growing to hate working with frontend teams.

Even worse, when I have to explain that they may get an empty result with a token meaning they need to call again. Unbounded service call means nothing, it seems.

Kudos on this project!
I return, you can actually fit most desktop cases in 5U or even 4U, if you have something to stack them onto. Just be careful with possibly covered side vents.

Imagine if you could take Llama 3.1 405B and break it down to a tree of logical gates, optimizing out all the things like multiplies by 0 in one of the bits, etc... then load it into a massive FPGA like chip that had no von Neumann bottleneck, was just pure compute without memory access latency.

Such a system would be limited by the latency across the reported 126 layers worth of math involved, before it could generate the next token, which might be as much as 100 uSec. So it would be 10x faster, but you could have thousands of other independent streams pipelined through in parallel because you'd get a token per clock cycle out the end.

This is the future I want to build.
I should note a few special products in this space.

The Sliger CX4712 fits a 120mm fan in the back, this is extremely rare, the Supermicro 742 did it but that has been out of production for a long, long time.

These days you can even find 120mm tower coolers fitting in 4U, Thermalright True Spirit and the Noctua NH-D12L both are less than 145mm tall easily fitting the ~153mm space.
The motto here does not align with how I read it compared to:

> The essence of science is to distrust authority and received wisdom

"take nobody's word for it" -> anyone can say anything, that is just a claim, things other than that matter like data, replication, etc.

That is different and superior than a simple, broad, statement to 'distrust'.
I have wondered if better multicast support will happen just for cost savings, as the amount of live content increases.

Something you have to understand is that the Aptera is bound to fail because it has two doors, two seats.

That's why the Honda Insight failed. The car didn't look crazy, it looked like a Civic. It didn't sell because was a tiny two-seater.

Look at the top 25 selling vehicles in America. Not one is lacking four door, 4+ passengers.

The ceiling for two door vehicles is the Ford Mustang. Ford sells about 50,000 of them, it's the top selling two door vehicle.

If Aptera could sell 10% of that in a year it would be essentially a miracle.
Oh wow so now we live in a world that tells us unborn humans are not actually human until a certain arbitrary number of months have passed, and that those non human living things do not have feelings or suffer in any way if we choose to kill them before this arbitrary date - but at the same time every single shrimp’s intense suffering is suddenly my problem?
The fact that such a boost is possible with new hardware, I wonder what the ceiling is for improving performance for training via hardware as well.
True.

However, I find it difficult to believe that an easily-read, sufficiently-comprehensive table would fit on small packages. Marking even more things as "not labeled for individual sale" just because a new table that aims to be helpful [0] won't fit on their packaging seems to me to be a generally bad thing.

[0] And also aims to replace existing allergenic ingredient class warnings that do fit on the current packaging...

Java has a great ecosystem. It’s well thought out and I can compile and run 10 year old projects no problem. In fact, I wish everyone had just copied Java’s model instead of inventing their own worse model.

I love Python but it has a terrible package ecosystem with mediocre tooling that has only gotten worse with time.

JavaScript has gotten better but it seems they are just re-learning things that were long figured out.

When I see new package managers, I just see a list of problems that they forgot to account for. Which I find strange when there have been many package managers that you can learn from. Why are you re-inventing the wheel?
