This is Soviet propaganda. The real number from Nagasaki and Hiroshima was about half of the casualties were instant. Furthermore fallout is much more understood: after a few short days of hiding inside, the radiation levels will have fallen to where normal life can largely resume without fear, reducing the number of slow casualties.
I think they are, though, just not consciously. I’m finding more and more it is rare that I find myself typing on a device and there isn’t some AI lurking in it. Email, docs, mobile keyboards, soon to be also Apple intelligence searching your photos, etc.

I can’t even type a note to myself in gmail without “polish!” Popping in to tell me that I’m shit at writing a good note-to-self and it needs polishing. (Wherein it typically reforms to , “dear customer service, …”)

Every Google search is using llm now right? At least I can’t figure out how to stop it from happening.

I don't think it will be as massive as you and a lot of people think.

The problem is reliability,you can't bulid of unstable foundations.

We would need some kind of library of "verified sentences" in LLMs, like facts verified by experts for them to be useful for a tons of stuff.

Right now if you are using LLMs for anything else that is not verifiable in a objective way (like programming, a program works or does not [let's not even talk efficency or security]) or fluff (generating fancy text for non crucial reasons) you are using a tool wrong.
I don't necessarily disagree. But I don't agree either. WebGPU has given us as many positives as it has negatives. A lot of our user base is not on modern hardware, as much as other users are.

Part of the challenge of making a general purpose engine is that we can't make choices that specialize to a use case like that. We need to support all the backends, all the rendering features, all the tradeoffs, so that our users don't have to. It's a hard challenge.

And probably also note that the proposals of the climate-justified-vandals are too unrealistic

There's nothing more nonsense than a solar-nuclear antagonism. Build more solar. Build more nuclear, preferably SMRs, and do more research on ways of making it safer and cost-effective.

Fill the dry sunny areas with solar and batteries. Fill the windy areas with wind turbines and treat anyone opposing this with the same contempt as people vandalizing paintings "for the climate"

Every car should be at least a hybrid, because there's nothing more clunky than plugging an engine that deals badly with varying RPM and torque directly to a variable load.

They are not the only place to store tokens. You can store tokens with localStorage for JS-heavy website, in fact plenty of websites do that. It's not as secure, but acceptable. Another alternative is to "store" token in URL, it was widely used in Java for some reason (jsessionid parameter).
Good rant! That's kind of what web-development seems like sometimes. Almost every part of the technology stack is there to fix some other part of the stack that never was ideal to begin with. TypeScript being the best example. It only exists because JavaScript sucks, and JavaScript only ever existed because in 1994ish some guy failed to get Java to run in the browser, and the only reason we're building apps in what was originally a "Document Rendering" system (HTML) was also not by design either but just an accident of history. One train wreck after another.
That makes sense. I bet the WebGPU WG would be interested in hearing about that experience. They might be able to make changes to the buckets.

Look LLM's are interesting. I sure spend a lot less time writing basic one off scripts because of them. The "extra step" of tossing emails to an LLM is just proof reading with less tedium.

LLMs gave every one an intern that does middling work quickly, never complains and doesn't get coffee.

We need them to be cheap (to run) and localy/owned hardware (for security and copy right reasons).

Neither AlphaZero nor MuZero can learn the rules of chess from an empty chess board and a pile of pieces. There is no objective function so there’s nothing to train upon.

That would be like alien archaeologists of the future finding a chess board and some pieces in a capsule orbiting Mars after the total destruction of Earth and all recorded human thought. The archaeologists could invent their own games to play on the chess board but they’d have no way of ever knowing they were playing chess.

MinIO actually supported conditional writes a year before S3
First, thanks for the love -- it's deeply appreciated! Our go-to-market is not an accident: we spent a ton of time (too much time?) looking at how every company had endeavored (and failed) in this space, and then considering a bunch of other options besides. Plugging into a "cheap Gigabyte" system wouldn't actually allow us to build what we've built, and we know this viscerally: before we had our system built, we had to have hardware to build our software on -- which was... a bunch of cheap Gigabyte systems. We had the special pain of relearning all of the reasons why we took the approach we've taken: these systems are a non-starter with respect to foundation.

You may very well not need the system that we have built, but lots of people do -- and the price point versus the alternatives (public cloud or on-prem commodity HW + pretty price SW) has proven to be pretty compelling. I don't know if we'll ever have a product that hits your price point (which sounds like... the cost of Gigabyte plus a few thousand bucks?), but at least the software is all open source!

Wow, I'm surprised it took AWS this long to (mostly) catch up to Azure, which had this feature back in 2015: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/u...

Azure supports 50,000 parts, zone-redundancy, and append blobs are supported in the normal "Hot" tier, which is their low-budget mechanical drive storage.

Note that both 10K and 50K parts means that you can use a single blob to store a day's worth of logs and flush every minute (1,440 parts). Conversely, hourly blobs can support flushing every second (3,600 parts). Neither support daily blobs with per-second flushing for a whole day (86,400 parts).

Typical designs involve a per-server log, per hour. So the blob path looks like:

"{account}/{path}/{year}/{month}/{day}/{hour}_{servername}.txt"

This seems insane, but it's not a file system! You don't need to create directories, and you're not supposed to read these using VIM, Notepad, or whatever.

The typical workflow is to run a daily consolidation into an indexed columnstore format like Parquet, or send it off to Splunk, Log Analytics, or whatever...
It already does. Ask it if trickle down economics works, or what are the benefits of economic redistribution and how it’s different from socialism.

The problem is that people’s don’t use it for what it’s good for, but they try to make it code and play chess, because they can’t accept that it can’t think (yet).

In most cases S3 data is not directly exposed to the client. If the middleware is EC2, then you need to pay the same egress fee, but you you will have lower latency with S3, as EC2 shares the same datacenter as S3.
That only works if you (and any third party code that might run on such a domain) are completely consistent about always specifying the domain as one of your subdomains whenever you set a cookie.

And if your marketing/SEO/business people are ok with having something like "prod" as a subdomain for all your production web pages.
Ah, thanks for clarifying! It’s even cooler knowing they’re a whole different species with such unique abilities
> But WGPU has other contributors with other priorities. For example, WGPU just merged some additions to its nascent ray tracing support. That's not a Mozilla priority, but WGPU took the PR. Similarly for some recent extensions to 64-bit atomics (which I think is used by Bevy for Nanite-like techniques?), and other areas.

Yep! The 64-bit atomic stuff let me implement software rasterization for our Nanite-like renderer - it was a huge win. Same for raytracing, I'm using it to develop a RT DI/GI solution for Bevy. Both were really exciting additions.

The question of how performant and featureful wgpu is is mostly just a matter of resources in my view. Like with Bevy, it's up to contributors. The unfortunate reality is that if I'm busy working on Bevy, I don't have any time for wgpu. So I'm thankful for the people who _do_ put in time to wgpu, so that I can continue to improve Bevy.
Sorry, I'm not part of the Nix community so I don't have the context to answer that. Although I would infer from "so many applications of AI," you meant more than just technical support chatbots.
I resisted using it for a long time, it just seemed too much like read-only code for me. But I've been building my latest project with it, and I have never iterated on the front end more quickly. It is great fun.

I believe any software that, once installed on a system, gives someone else remote access to control that system is "a backdoor". So the malware itself is "the backdoor", it's not a case of "package X has a backdoor that was exploited".

Not all malware acts like a backdoor: some malware exfiltrates data, some seeks to destroy the system, some encrypts data to hold it hostage, some performs attacks on other systems using your CPU/IP/memory, etc. The malware they are describing here does act like a backdoor though, and doesn't seem to have other malicious behavior.
My current approach is having 2 copies of my Bitwarden recovery codes, each one in different physical locations. I told family members about the locations, so in the event I am unreachable (and most likely so will my 2FA device), they can still access my passwords.

Is there some flaw in this approach (besides requiring trust in the family members)?
firewood is a back door, ie a program installed to provide access bypassing the systems normal authentication etc.

The article says they don’t know how the attacker gets access to install this back door in the first place.

We're comparing to go here, not with a language with proper error handling.
For the most part I agree, but we have found that R2 does not handle large files (hundreds of GB or larger) very well. It will often silently fail with nothing being returned, so it’s not possible to handle it gracefully.
i've been using it for... years? and it still feels like magic when i use it. v4 fixes my only real issue with it which was the config file feeling so detached and rough compared to everything else.

Why is change so complex?
Change is complex due to evolutionary instincts that favor familiar environments, providing a sense of security. In the workplace, this often results in resistance, especially when new tools or processes are introduced without aligning deeper aspects like team culture and individual beliefs. The River Model illustrates that different layers of an organization change at different rates, requiring holistic strategies. Effective change management involves clear communication, inclusion of employees, training, and allowing adaptation time.
TCP is less efficient for request-response protocol. The root of the problem (DDoS with amplification) IMHO is not DNS but ISPs which allow to spoof source addresses. Most don’t allow. RFC2827 (BCP38) was published >20 years ago and the problem was not new even back then. How bad guys find ISP (or hostings) permitting src IP spoofing? Is there a way to encourage such ISP to follow BCP38?
But rarely discussed or acked by the press? Or have there been more stories that show how much of an impact it had? I remember one round of articles.

For normal GraphHopper and just the EU the 64GB should be more than sufficient.
>If you have variability in genes you'll get variability in characteristics that are connected to them - height, bone structure, mental capacity, etc.

Then you're agreeing with me. The thing all of those have in common is that they follow normal distributions. The shortest recorded adult and the tallest recorded adult are quite far apart, yet the vast majority of adults are between 150-200 cm tall. That's precisely what I was saying; the outliers of mathematical skill are very very far apart, but most people are roughly equally capable.

>I think you're living in a bubble of at least average-smart people and don't get that probably millions if not billions of people around the globe (based on average IQs) won't really get that concept.

What I'm saying it that it even someone with below-average IQ could do it, if taught properly. Mathematics is less about being smart and more about being rigorous.

That's a pretty accurate description of what's happening. DEI did this to men, because men were blamed by the media and by the feminists for

I’m the same. I haven’t read the responses to your comment yet but I guarantee there are some folks pulling out their hair in disbelief about what you could possibly be using LLMs for, how the code can never stand up to what they’re writing etc. I don’t understand how you can’t find chatGPT useful. I use it at least 30 times in any given day.
Will be exciting to see what adaptations are needed and how performance and cost changes for delta lake and iceberg and other cloud mutable data storage formats. It could be really dramatic!

S3 is often used as a lowest common denominator, and a lot of the features of azure and gcs aren’t leveraged by libraries and formats that try to be cross platform so only want to expose features that are available everywhere.

If these days all object stores do append then perhaps all the data storage formats and libs can start leveraging it?

This is extremely interesting. In this specific case at least, simply giving examples is equivalent to fine-tuning. This is a great discovery for me, I'll try using examples more often.
I notice there's no prompt saying "you should try to win the game" yet the results are measured by how much the LLM wins.

Is this implicit in the "you are a grandmaster chess player" prompt?

Is there some part of the LLM training that does "if this is a game, then I will always try to win"?

Could the author improve the LLM's odds of winning just by telling it to try and win?
