No, speculative decoding is when you use a smaller draft model to propose tokens and then use the larger target model to verify the proposals. It has got nothing to do with domain specialization.
ROM is generally firmware for an embedded processor, and being able to modify that opens up new possibilities for the device i.e. more freedom. For example it might be possible to implement new offload features on a network card - the fact that no one bothers to do so doesn't mean the possibility shouldn't be there. I'd rather have the vendor put it in public domain or thereabouts, and make it editable. They're making money by selling the hardware anyway.

Well, it does obviously have to do with generating sales. But to play devil's advocate, I never have enough battery life, even with a fresh battery. There are incremental improvements, year-over-year, in terms of processor efficiency. I take a lot of photos, and I definitely notice having a 5x optical zoom now. There are details that some people would say are worth upgrading. But it is not the case that all people fit this template.
You kind of answered your own question there. These are businesses, not research labs. Sales comes first, as is to be expected.

What do you mean? The personal license is billed at $4 a month paid monthly or $24 paid yearly. The commercial license is $24 per year, per user.
Well, that is still no reason to introduce a breaking change in the existing interface.

You introduce a new one, using a different signature and mark the old one as deprecated, and keep it around until as long as reasonably possible.

> As opposed to Linux which would have issues when running apps side-by-side?

Side-by-side versioned libraries often turn out the problem, which is one of the driving forces behind containerization technology: One version wants version X of that library, one app version Y, and then also every distro has different flavours of the same library.
This seems to be very obvious to me when I see the recommended playlists I get handed. Some good bait, but lots of filler tripe.
Wasn't EU's right to repair law also mandating at least 5 years of updates? Just make 10.

With all the money these companies make, they can dedicate some people to taking care of legacy hardware.
I have gotten rid of those by the rule: If a commit update updates a submodule, it must not update anything else. (Yes, this can violate the general rule that nothing needs to be added to a commit to be complete. But updating submodules has been worth the exception in my experience.)

> a submodule is always included at a particular commit

Actually you can make a submodule track a branch instead of a specific commit. I've never seen anyone actually do that though and it seems like a bad idea. Though I did work for a while for a company that had written a custom tool that worked like that and we never ran into any problems due to it.

> As far as I can tell Apple has the longest support lifetime of 6 years, followed closely by Samsung with 4 years of major Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates.

Anecdote of Samsung support from a few years ago on a decidedly-not-flagship phone (just straight-up copying from a comment I wrote a couple of years ago—):

In April 2019, I needed to rapidly obtain a device, and purchased a Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) from a major retailer in Australia. I later discovered that this model had already been EOL for over a year when I purchased it. (It was released with 5.1.1, got its last security patch in November 2017, and was actively unsupported no later than March 2018. The handset should very obviously have been updated to Android 6, if not released with it—Android 6 was announced and in beta 7½ months before, and was the stable release 3½ months before, the handset’s January 2016 release.)
We are talking about Apple, who is willing to chop off a feature from a product just to sell you the 39$ dongle later.

Genetics solve causation issues by putting "correlation does not equal causation" at the start of their paper and then writing the rest of it as if it did equal causation.

>I used to teach at the uni at several levels, and every year I would ask if anyone tried to recall the proofs of the theorems at home. and no one did. They were always shocked when I told then they should do it.

I try to do this as well. If you combine this with understanding the definitions of the various units you more or less will have the textbook in your head, some assembly required.
This is amazing! I couldn't imagine such a thing possible, it's basically sci-fi if you think about it. However, I couldn't help but chortle and think of my GP when I read the words "yet more text tantalizingly close to legibility".
> The sales pitch for salt-cooled reactors is the lack of any coolant that would become pressurized hot gas in an accident. Heat can stay in salt or in other low vapor pressure materials.

Sodium-cooled reactors and the upcoming lead-cooled reactor also have this property. It turns out to not be such a huge advantage, we have plenty of experience working with pressurized water.

> The problem with LWRs is the water goes to steam in accidents, and this steam must be contained. This drives the size of the containment building, and the containment building is costly.

No, it's really not a problem. The loop doesn't suddenly loose compression if something bad happens. If there's electric power, there's more than enough time to slowly cool down the reactor.

And a containment building (that also protects against external threats like an airplane ramming into the reactor) has more than enough volume if the primary loop is de-pressurized and the water flashes into steam.

> An alternative for LWRs would be to filter and vent the steam instead of trying to contain it.

The water in the primary loop is clean. It's constantly purified by filtration through ion exchange resins. Once the activated oxygen decays (in ~1 hour) you can swim in it (although I wouldn't drink it).

PWRs (actually, all thermal power plants) have areas where steam can be dumped. If you watched "Chernobyl" series, the ridiculous scene with divers was supposed to happen inside such an area ("barboter pool").

Modern PWRs are also designed to do that safely. There's plenty of capacity to condense all the water from the primary loop after the loss-of-cooling. Of course, after that the fuel will melt down, and chew through the reactor vessel.

The filtering system you linked is not strictly necessary for modern PWR designs. They will still be safe in case of an accident with total loss of cooling, but the containment building will be hopelessly contaminated internally. This filtering system can allow the steam to be vented into the atmosphere, perhaps giving more time to fix the emergency cooling systems.
Worst case, it's $90/TB of bandwidth, the retrieval fee, and GB-seconds for a hot S3 tier while waiting to he downloaded and then deleted, plus pocket change for API calls.

With 10TB drives being available for $80-ish... I expect a lot of semi savy people to upload tens of terabytes then cry when they see the bill.

Another language with this property is FORTH, which has many surprising similarities with LISP. I like to call it “LISP, but the other way round.” It usues RPN instead of PN, stacks/arrays instead of lists, and is procedural instead of functional.

It's definitely one of the most fascinating things I've seen here.

The challenge is an amazing example of what today's technology can do. We have rolled up papyrus scrolls that were carbonized two thousand years ago. They look just like bits of charcoal and they're so fragile that any attempt to physically unroll them would be quite destructive.

Yet our technology allows us to read their contents. That's fascinating, and gets even better considering how many of those scrolls are likely new texts to us.

> Half of the US military is obsessively focused on this scenario. The Ukraine war showed what an invasion of a neighboring country gains you and that one didn't involve US airforce, navy, and marines directly intervening.

Taiwan is a little island right next to its adversary, and far away from its major allies. It's not Ukraine, you can't drive a truck from NATO to it.

Also the western cupboard is looking pretty bare, after so much equipment and ammunition has been burned up in Ukraine. Western production capacity can't keep up.

IIRC, and the US blue team has lost every war game it's conducted on that scenario. Like it or not, China is modernizing its military quickly, so the US can no longer depend on having a huge technological advantage to compensate for its weaknesses in this scenario.

> The odds the Chinese will suddenly be happy being poor and isolated from the west like Russians in exchange for Taiwan is extremely unlikely.

It doesn't matter if the Chinese (people) are happy or not, they don't really have a say.

Americans, on the other hand, will feel just as poor if they become isolated from China (just think of all the Made in China products that won't be restocked), and they do have a say.

In WWII, the Allies won in large part because America was the workshop of the world. Decades ago it ceded that title to China, because muh profits free trade. That doesn't augur too well for the outcome of a future conflict.

To play devil’s advocate here, I actually think iPhones have some of the best longevity and resale value, compared to virtually any other product or brand - except perhaps if we go back decades to appliances made near the middle of the century. The fact that a device can be perfectly usable for 5+ years is pretty good compared to most other things I find myself buying and replacing in less time.

Otherwise I think the only real “solution” to this is to rethink your notion of a phone. Personally I tend to use WhatsApp, email, and other non-phone-specific applications, and don’t use the actual phone feature very often. So theoretically I could use any small computing device and upgrade its components as needed, and not need to have a phone at all.
Maybe this is a good place to ask a question regarding the hardware that is required to transfer code from and to your C64. I have a C64 and a 1541 sitting in my basement in a box and I sometimes take it out to check if it still works (it does).

After watching one particularly insane demo [1] I decided that I need to run them on my own machine for full experience. The question is what hardware is necessary to run them. After a little research it seems that something like a Kung Fu Flash cardridge and an SD card is all that I need to put on my Christmas wish list. Can anyone with more insight tell me if this is the right way to go?

Also, the results with the current methods could be fine for imprecise purposes. Say, if you had some cat embryos and wanted to know which one was orange for your designer kitten.

But in the future it might not be good enough for later more precise interventions; if you just start editing cats to make them orange now you're going to find out what the side effects are.

Been a happy Hetzner customer for over a decade, previously using their dedicated servers in their German DC's before migrating to their Cloud US VMs for better latency with the US. Slightly disappointed with their recent cuts of their generous 20TB free traffic down to 3TB (€1.19 per additional TB), but they still look to be a lot better value than all other US cloud providers we've evaluated.

This post boils down to "it's easier to use something you know in and out that some new tool you're using for the first time.", so not a good argument. I think I've seen ruby code a handful of times in my life and it looks like an obfuscated form of perl to me. If you'd give me a low code tool and ruby and the same task I don't think I'll succeed with either in a reasonable amount of time.

Ask HN: How to set up a RAG app for understanding Codebases?
I'm working on multiple Python codebases for web applications and want to set up a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application to better understand my codebases. The goal is to have it suggest improvements, generate code for new features and tests, and answer workflow-related questions. Also I would like to use the same for automating code reviews.

Due to privacy concerns, I prefer using open-source models hosted locally on my MacBook M3 (e.g., using Ollama). While I already have a GitHub Copilot subscription provided by my company, it often fails to fully understand the context of the entire codebase, leading to generated code that doesn't align with the project's structure.

I’ve experimented with LangChain and Chroma DB for this, but the answers are often unrelated to the context, likely due to issues with the embeddings.

Does anyone have resources or tips on how to effectively feed a codebase into an LLM and set up a reliable solution? How can I ensure the embeddings are accurate and aligned with my requirements?

True, but if they matured this wouldn't be an issue. I think Intel should be acquired by the government fixed up and remanaged. Then sold off again or given the opportunity to buy itself back. If a government gives out money year after year for grants and fails to meet the mark or even go bankrupt it needs to become federally managed like a bank. Especially in this sector.
It's not about what I think zero division yields I've taken a math class before. It's just about representation within the type system. If division can return infinities we can't safely combine division with other functions that are expecting ints and floats.

Most languages throw an error instead, but there are tradeoffs there too. If you've decided not to throw an error you should at least return a usable number and zero makes more sense than -1 or 7 or a billion or whatever.

You could also build the number stack from the ground up to accommodate this edge case, and make it so all arithmetic functions can handle infinities, infinitesimals and limits. I've come across a racket sublang like that but it's nearly unusable for the normal common things you want to do with numbers in code.
A couple of days ago, Nvidia released a new breed of Attention-SSM hybrids called Hymba. Since their approach is really groundbreaking, I compiled a somewhat exhaustive but beginner-friendly summary.
Long story short:
They run Attention and Mamba in parallel at each layer, where Mamba serves as long-term memory, and Attention (mostly Sliding Window except on the First, Middle and Last Layer) as short-term memory with perfect recall. They also introduced Meta tokens which smooth out attention's softmax distribution to avoid attention sinks, and at the same time they bootstrap Mamba's internal state. To reduce memory requirements, they share the KV cache between two consecutive layers, bringing down the cache's memory requirement by 20x compared to a vanilla attention model. To make it even better, their 1.5B model trained only on 1.5T tokens still achieves State of the Art among 2B models, with nearly 3x higher throughput.
Just do what we've done since the dawn of time: hang out with friends and family, prepare and eat food together, maybe play card or board games. It feels good and it's good for you.
>and all signs point out to it working out well.

Intel has always had great "signs" but fell completely apart once the time came for execution.

Which is to say, I'll believe it when I see it. I say that as an Intel fanboi, too.

If Trump/DOGE comes in and slashes Intel funding one way or another, even better.
I made the same mistake once. The only thing that helped against this burning sensation was washing my hands with benzine cleaning solvent. I reckon Schnaps would also have helped.

Yes- AWS calculator:
1) S3- cost for how much you're storing in glacier and then the cost for its metadata to he in a S3 hot/warm tier.
2) Glacier retrieval cost- can be minimized by letting AWS pull it on their schedule.
3) BANDWIDTH- this is the vast majority of the cost at $0.09/GB. There may be ways to lower this, but I haven't tried them.

I'm not saying its a bad deal, I very much wish I'd gone with deep archive (especially with the recent addition of "update if different" to the API)

> I haven't yet encountered a language which solves this issue:

Well, Python supports arbitrary precision integers. And some other niche languages (Sail is one I know).

I don't think "running out of memory" counts as a caveat because it still won't give the wrong answer.

For floats, I don't think it's actually unreasonable to use different operators there. I vaguely recall some languages use +. or .+ or something for float addition.

Fair point about wrapping.
This is known as the “tu quoque” rhetorical device, used for millennia and commonly viewed as a fallacious argument. There are a lot of places online that explain the concept.

Just because your opponent has done the same thing doesn’t mean the original charge against you is invalid. Their hypocrisy does not invalidate their argument. Not supporting either Biden or Trump in their actions, but this isn’t the way to make a convincing argument. (Why aren’t they teaching rhetoric in schools?)

It's sad that we consider 5-10 years to be "legacy" in any way shape or form. It does seem to very much just be at the consumer level. We've still got servers chugging away in datacenters that are pushing 15 years old and still have several years of life left in them.

“Software standards” come and go, changing relatively quickly, so don’t sweat it too much. You will learn from mistakes, and that’s ok (for me, dunno for your employer :P)
The only thing that truly matters is this:

When software engineers make mistakes dividing by 0 and end up with Exceptions being raised or NaNs being output, they'll usually blame themselves.

When the results are wrong numbers all over the place, they'll blame the language.

There are 2 cases when people are going to "use" x/0:

1. They made a mistake.

2. They KNOW that x/0 returns 0 and they take it as a shortcut for (y == 0 ? 0 : x/y)

Is that shortcut useful? No. Is it dangerous? Yes. Hence, this is a bad idea.
It would keep lawyers out.
