It was never "necessary". That's just an opinion. There have been other times when hospitals were overwhelmed by respiratory viruses but mandates weren't imposed on the public. And there is no reliable evidence that face masks actually reduced the burden on hospitals.

For 2, I'll single out the skill of tailoring technical explanations to your counterparty's level of understanding and technical knowledge. The ability to explain to less technical people what your new project/feature does without going into too many unnecessary details and without being too high-level is invaluable. It builds confidence in your work for them (I know what this thing is doing - maybe not all nuts and bolts, but enough to operate with confidence) and in you as a professional (this guy clearly understands what he's working on and does not try to bury me in jargon or oversimplify things).
Thanks. Yeah, Wikipedia claims it become a term of art in 2016, so I don't feel too bad about not being familiar with it.
Europe has its own version of this nonsense (GDPR cookie banners), but that stems from a different misguided belief. Europe believes that banners can affect markets. The US believes that banners can affect the law. Both are wrong.
They were styled as "donations" towards the running costs. In exchange people got to boost their upload/download ratio in their favor, or get a fancy star next to their name, etc.

yea, thats totally doable with us! The rest just depends on your proxy and whether it's rotating or persistent.

If you like high-performance array programming a la "numpy with JIT" I suggest looking at JAX. It's very suitable for general numeric computing (not just ML) and a very mature ecosystem.

Agreed. Definitely feels like a workplace-only project.
> i dont like taking my phone out

This is one of my problems with electronic menus. I don't want to take my phone out of my pocket, and I don't want the people I'm with to do so, either. Neither do I want the restaurant's screen at the table.

All of those things really detract from the social pleasure of dining out.
Looks sweet, we'll check em out!
Windows 11 needs an SSE4.2, which limits to Intel Nehalem and newer (2008+), although I don't know what revision Atoms are needed, and AMD Bulldozer and newer (2011+).

You'll most likely need to bypass the cpu model check, and the tpm check for an older machine, but otherwise should work. Windows 10 support's more hardware, of course. I forget where Linux cuts off now, I think it's somewhere between a 486 and a Pentium Pro/II. Although I'd expect you do need a 64-bit CPU to run modern software.
It's interesting how discussion on Christopher Alexander's works always turn into discussion of patterns about how to write or structure code (regardless of what the artifact is), as opposed to what "living", human-centered programs are (regardless of the code that composes it).

I think a tech talk that much better hits the mark is "Emacs as Design Pattern Learning" by Greta Goetz [1].

X86 is more than just the ISA. What’s at stake is the relatively open PC architecture and hardware ecosystem. It was a fluke of history that made it happen, and it would be sad to lose it.
A fundamentally fraudulent company that destroyed the lives of thousands of its employees relaunches with a press release, no public information on its new leadership or concrete plans, opting instead to vaguely reference an interest in pursuing some sort of crypto play.

It says a lot that this brand is worth enough to someone who wanted to revive it, if for no other reason than to capitalize on its infamy.
It is less about the development of ARM on desktop and more about software support. Most apps on Windows are still emulated. Some will not work at all. Games are kind of a mess on ARM. A ton of security software that IT departments require are only going to work x86. Businesses run legacy custom applications designed for x86. Some major applications still run on emulation only and are therefore slower on ARM.

Apple can force the transition. It is not so straightforward on Windows/Linux.
> People will build everything needed to run intel cards efficiently as there is currently zero options for affordable video cards with high memory.

I think you're overestimating what people can and will do.

Nvidia didn't succeed because it just launchend cards and let people write CUDA for them. Nvidia is where it is because it has an army of researchers and SW engineers developing the full stack from research papers, to frameworks, to proofs of concepts, showing customers the value of paying for their pricey HW + SW, most of it proprietary, not community developed.

"People" alone won't be able to get even 10% there. And that's ignoring the fact that Nvidia HW is not FOSS so they'd be working blind.
Depends on one: how interested/motivated are you, now and down the line; and two: how likely is your dependency on a third party going to screw you over in the long run.

My opinion, from the viewpoint of a consultant often involved in Kubernetes, is to get initial help and a persistent help line, but get somebody internally interested enough to ride along and learn.

Consultants and experts in general can save you from a lot of bad up-front decisions and banging your head against the wall for months. It's not trivial to learn your way around technologies or ecosystems, including common dark corners and pitfalls, in a reasonable amount of time while also having to focus on your core business. Accept help but learn to fish and to make a fire.
Back fees?

So I use a 4 year old work, that I assume is public domain, and then the creator, pays his back fees and sues me?

alternatively, a creator creates a work, gets 5 years of protection, and never pays the fees that he owes.
Optimistically [1] 200 g can capture 250 kg carbon dioxide per year, at the expense of heating the material almost 28,000 times from ambient to 60°C. And that still leaves you with 139 m³ of carbon dioxide gas, what do you do with that?

[1] 2.05 mmol/g at half capacity equals 45 mg/g per cycle, and ignoring heating and cooling times one can fit 27,976.6 cycles into a year. Overall that is 1.262 kg/g/y.
Yes, it's absolutely better to crash if you're in an unexpected state. I had to deal with a service once which had a top-level exception handler that ensured that all exceptions would simply log and let the service keep running. That's great for the majority of exceptions which reach that point because most of them are no big deal to push through.

But one time an exception came at just the right time to cause the internal state and database state to be out of sync. That caused data updates in the service from that point on to start saving bad data into the database. It took a few hours to notice the issue and by that point a lot of the persisted data was trashed. We had to take down the service, restore the database from a backup, and reconstruct the correct data for the entire day.

Fortunately the data issues here were low impact, but it could just as easily have been critical data that was bad. And having a business operate on incorrect data like that could cause far bigger issues than a bit of downtime while the service restarts.
Unironically, that's what school is supposed to be for.

There's keeping the engine well maintained (the sleep and exercise part, for example) and there's driving the engine down new paths and honing you driving technique. You work on the latter by exposing yourself to novel and interesting arguments (interesting philosophy or argumentative non-fiction, for example) and then working through the argument again with counter-arguments in mind. I would not recommend pop-sci books for this, because their arguments and writing tends to be quite flabby.

I'd actually recommend something like RG Collingwood's "The Principles of Art" which is a relatively plain English example of well written philosophy:

https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.188470/page/n1...

You will disagree with him. The point is to understand how and why you disagree with him and to explain that clearly, not only to yourself but others as well. Thinking clearly is about responding and communicating clearly while displaying a sure and succinct understanding of the problem at hand.

You can apply that to everything you read or are confronted with, but the key thing to realize is that "thinking clearly" is something you practice. There is no one trick --- it's an approach.
Yes, but that is because users demand it. And they do so begrudgingly. Users are not going to demand an ARM Windows laptop.
Break their fabs up, make one of those focus on GPUs, another on NPUs, so FPGAs, and robotics. Some will die some will yield new "Intel's."
Yeah I wonder if maybe the x86 license is the most valuable art of Intel at this point...
It's possible he's sick. Who could know?
Actually 'nitpicking' is when you assume someone didn't read an article whenever their post references the title of the article.

Clarifying something in an article in a more clear way than the article did is fine, and especially when even the actual title itself is misleading as well.

I really liked the different sections for each sub-brand they had previously. The new design has all of the products together which is easy to navigate but it is less distinguishing about the offerings. Overall, the experience is still a positive one
I'd love some good technical western coverage of OpenAtom's OpenHarmony or Huaweii's hard fork & rebuild Harmony NEXT.

In particular, they claim a distributed bus DSoftBus underneath, that allows very seamless inter-dice operation. An example use case from one of the few docs online talks about example use cases of videoconferencing using multiple devices... I've done similar with scrcpy on Android & felt like a small demi-gos. But ambient capabilities seem perhaps just part of the OS here, & apps can allegedly easily move between devices & tap a network of resources.

The world is sleeping hard on this. Would be so good to know more to have visibility into these very interesting creations. (Feels very Webinos to me, which was more an iot os & protocols than consumer os, but interesting at pooling distributed resources across networks).

Nvidia's GPUs work well on Linux. A friend and I use them and they are fairly problem free. In the past, when I did have some issues (mainly involving freesync), I contacted Nvidia and they fixed them. More specifically, I found that they needed to add sddm to their exclusion list, told them and they added it to the list after a few driver releases. They have also fixed documentation on request too.
I don't think it attempted to redefine the term, but "web" was left off the beginning of the phrase. Go's primary strength is in creating distributed, concurrent services and other networked systems. This makes sense as a language born within Google, though like any language it can be used for other purposes.
> An x86 monopoly in the late 80s was a thing, but not now

And then in the 2000s after AMD64 pretty much destroyed all competing architectures and then in the 2010s Intel itself effectively was almost a monopoly (outside of mobile) with AMD being on the verge of bankruptcy.
I have recently created a free website to track cybersecurity-related open-source projects, governance, compliance, regulations, learning datasets, and more. You can find it here

I would love to hear your thoughts on what else could be useful for the community, especially for younger individuals who want to break into a career in cybersecurity.

No.
In APL deriverd array programming languages, verbs (or functions) are monadic or dyadic : they accept only one or two arguments :

In '1 + 1', + is a dyadic operator, while in 'exp 5', exp is monadic.

In J, and in APL I guess, left arg is usually understood as 'control data', while right arg is the data upon which calculation is done. Left argument is usually left unchanged after calculations.

In this way, is it possible to create multi-arguments verbs, by placing boxed args on the left of the verb.
Probably smart as hell. I have a friend, with a little black cat that has him completely wrapped around her paw.

What is the meaning of an "ephemeral visualization" of a carbon footprint when releasing carbon into the atmosphere is rarely ephemeral?

Carbon release is a very important problem, but I can't connect with this art project at all.
Here are 2 things I have noticed that seem obvious weaknesses:

1. Looking at the CyberMonday and BlackFriday deals, I see that the 12900K and 14900* series CPUs are what is being offered on the Intel side. Meanwhile AMD has released newer chips. So Intel has issues with either yield, pricing or other barriers to adoption of their latest.

2. The ARC GPUs are way behind; it seems obvious to me that a way to increase usage and sales is to simply add more VRAM to the GPUs - Nvidia limits the 4090 to 24GB; so if Intel shipped a GPU with 48 or 64GB VRAM, more people would buy those just to have the extra VRAM. It would spur more development, more usage, more testing and ultimately result in ARC being a better choice for LLMs, image processing, etc.

I used to think that way, but now my router is a Ryzen 5700G running NixOS so there is no reason to not hang some wifi radios off of it. Additional APs are low power amd64 motherboards (which also run Kodi to drive "TVs"), because I got tired of the ARM dumpster fire. Although I just ordered a pile of RPis to make security cameras, so maybe I'm back looking for a little punishment.
It seems really strange to me that the CEOs of two major companies have announced immediate retirements on the same day (the other being Carlos Tavaris of Stellantis).
Frustratingly there is still value in the old style jobserver because old versions of GNU make are prevalent in the wild, i.e. on macOS.

I'm at the point where if you're going to require users to install something, rather than a newer version of make, I'd rather require a more modern build tool and disregard make entirely.
My desires are driven by ideology rather than any specific requirement. My needs are met by my Mikrotik CRS328, but I loathe all devices that I pay for but do not own (if I owned it, I could run software of my own choosing on it).
Didn't AMD start making x86 chips in 1982?
You can also get root access to the Cerbo unit, if you want it. It's not a super-powerful device, but it's an industrial linux box with three relays built-in; more than capable enough to drive some automation, and it has plenty of CANbus and other ports.

That's assuming you can't just make do with node-red, which is a weird system, but is also available without touching ssh access, and comes preconfigured with everything you need to read (and write) to all connected Victron devices.

And other devices. I've got mine using the Pylontech battery protocol to read off the battery charge and start the generator on demand. Had to do that (instead of using the built-in generator start option) because the generator in question doesn't have an electronic starter.
Just to follow up, I finally got it all working today. No thanks to the "documentation." Lots of trial, and lots of error.

The fact that C++ development has been effectively hijacked by the "no ABI breakage, ever"/backwards compatibility at all costs crowd certainly speaks to this.

https://herecomesthemoon.net/2024/11/two-factions-of-cpp/

There are a lot of pre-compiled binaries floating about that are depended on by lots of enterprise software whose source code is long gone, and these are effectively locked to x86_64 chips until the cost of interoperability becomes greater than reverse engineering their non-trivial functionality.
> in all 150 countries this person's claimed to have visited.

They had mountains of boring photos of traffic signs and fire hydrants and bollards and normal people on the street and in other public spaces living their lives and that kind of stuff in lots of countries, so I'm fairly sure they had been to them. :-)

I don't think their take was a result of blindness to languages they don't/didn't know—we really do seem remarkably keen on posting lots of regulations and restrictions at the entrance to every-damn-place, which I've noticed since he pointed it out. Other places may have those restrictions and one may well find a variety of laws and norms enforced in any of several ways in places with less regulation-posting, should one violate them—they're just (I gather—my own limited traveling supports his take, but I've only been to a few other countries) usually not quite as obsessed with posting lots of notices about regulations on every flat surface where strictly-public spaces meet slightly-less-public or private spaces. Since having it pointed out, I've noticed that I'm (when not thinking about it) ignoring a bunch of notices akin to a click-through EULA when just entering stores, and it's not hard for me to believe that lots and lots of places get by just fine, and not necessarily with fewer de jure and de facto restrictions on behavior, with far less posting of notices about those restrictions. Clearly it's not terribly necessary since I'm pretty sure most of us hardly pay any attention to it.
There are already packages that let people run CUDA programs unmodified on other GPUs: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40970560

For whatever reason, people just delete these tools from their minds, then claim Nvidia still has a monopoly on CUDA.
Frustrating that almost nothing else has. In particular Ninja has been dragging its feet on this for most of a decade (they have an epic GitHub feature request and like six submitted attempts, none merged). All the "build system" components in the ecosystem want to be the Root of all Execution and don't feel like they should have to play in a sandbox with their competitors.

Really, the older I get and the more I see of the cmake/ninja/Bazel/whatever world... GNU Make was a better tool even 20 years ago.
It's possible, the question is how to choose which submodel will be used for a given query.

You can use a specific LLM, or a general larger LLM to do this routing.

Also, some work suggest using smaller llms to generate multiple responses and use a stronger and larger model to rank the responses (which is much more efficient than generating them)
I see a lot more speculation on this thread than data.
> I don't think a human could effectively "reason" after being trained on nonsense (I don't think the training would even take)

Go talk to a flat Earther or other religious zealot.

> I think the form of the output and the training sets we've chosen are what're making people believe they're doing stuff significantly like thinking, but it's all the same to an LLM.

Yes, but your mistake is asserting that thinking is not just following a set of patterns that lead from premises to conclusions, but that's literally what deductive logic is.

Let me put it this way, your argument is basically saying that computers can't reproduce human thinking because they can be programmed to output all kinds of nonsense that clearly isn't thinking (or at least, this is what it seems like you're saying). Well sure, but if they're programmed to actually think like humans, which should theoretically be possible given the Bekenstein Bound and the Church-Turing thesis, then clearly they are reproducing human thinking despite the fact that they can also be programmed to produce nonsense.

So the core question is whether artficacts of human thinking, like textbooks, poetry, etc. are sufficient for a learning system that can theoretically learn to reproduce arbitrary functions, to learn to reproduce human thinking. So rather than the training sets being some kind of red herring that are confusing people into concluding that LLMs are thinking, they are in fact central to the whole argument for why LLMs might actually be thinking!

We probably agree that LLMs don't have the same understanding of meaning that humans do, but I'm closer to the position that this is because they haven't been exposed to the same datasets we have, and not necessarily because their fundamental operation is so different. I think fundamental operation is probably a red herring because of Turing equivalence.
There is a common usage of “PC” that excludes Macs, Chromebooks, and the like. It means the x86-based PC platform descendant from IBM PC compatibles, with BIOS and all.
This is only true if “everyone” excludes all of the hyperscalers and the client device manufacturers.

Does Nvidia use Intel foundry? No.

Does Apple use Intel foundry? No.

The two largest fabless companies in the world never used, and have no plans to use Intel foundries.

"Intel foundry" as a service is a fiction, and will remain so. Intel can't get others to use their weird custom software tooling.
One page over from this news brief they are selling branded merchandise - $100 for an embroidered crewneck! It seems unlikely to me that this is a legitimate relaunch, it smells more like a post-ironic meme merch drop.

Apple is interesting. They certainly have the money and I think the idea of fabricating their own chips appeals to Apple, but at then end of the day I don't really think it makes sense. Apple won't want to fab for others or design chips for others.

The only way it happens is if it is kept separate kind of like the Beats acquisition. Apple lends some chip designs to Intel and Apple starts fabricating their chips on Intel fabs, but otherwise the companies operate independently.
How is it different from podman then?
From a customer's perspective:
NO, I don't like the BIG-little core architecture of CPUs on desktop platforms, and I don't enjoy the quality issues of the 13-14th gen CPUs; I also don't like the lack of software support for middling performing GPUs. I used to like intel's SSD, but the division was sold.
IIRC, Lisa Su and her team took nearly decade to orchestrate the turn-around at AMD, and they are still a distant second player in GPUs. Expecting Pat Gelsinger to turn around Intel (or any company in an industry with such long development and tech lead times), and replacing him in 3 years - given that he is an engineer with extensive domain and leadership experience - seems - reactive, as opposed to thoughtful and directed.

Wonder if they will approach Lisa Su to take the job now :D
