There are factors of both reality and imagination in pretty much everything we do, including things like LLMs. What is considered cutting edge today may be considered sheer quackery in the future.

My perception is that there is value in sticking to reality. Who am I to judge the users? They are free to interpret numbers as they wish. Just look at the big data. The numbers are real, yet interpretations and conclusions can be anything - the interpreter is inherently biased and constrained by their own field of view, political and employment context. Not that dissimilar from astrology, in essence.

Why astrology in this case? My interest has always been in the analysis of movement of planetary bodies. I like to see and understand how things move out there in space. There is a beauty in that, for me.

I don’t think I’d pass any space company interview, it’s too elitist. So I thought, hmm astrology…. but why not? I’d get to play with celestial mechanics. And the users can use it for what they wish. After all, in the past, astrologers always were astronomers and mathematicians in the first place. Perhaps there’s a mysticism in the sky that allows to be equally scientific and inspired? This is the case where belief isn’t that important. What’s more important is to be moved by what one does.

CoW won't necessarily make the VM image bloated. In fact, as I've foolishly found out, BTRFS can be quite useful for deduplicating very similar VMs at the block level, at the cost of needing to re-allocate new disk space on writes. In my VM archive, six 50 GiB virtual machines took up 52 GiB rather than 300 GiB and that was quite impressive.

Many downsides to CoW are also present with many common alternatives (i.e. thin LVM2 snapshots). Best to leave all of that off if you're using spinning rust or native compression features, though.

The fact that the EDA companies are garbage in no way mitigates the fact that Google continues to peddle unsubstantiated snake oil.

This is easy to debunk from the Google side: release a tool. If you don't want to release a tool, then it's unsubstantiated and you don't get to publish. Simple.

That having been said:

1) None of these "AI" tools have yet demonstrated the ability to classify "This is datapath", "This is array logic", "This is random logic". This is the BIG win. And it won't just be a couple of percentage points in area or a couple of days saved when it works--it will be 25%+ in area and months in time.

2) Saving a couple of percentage points in random logic isn't impressive. If I have the compute power to run EDA tools with a couple of different random seeds, at least one run will likely be a couple percentage points better.

3) I really don't understand why they don't do stuff on analog/RF. The patterns are smaller and much better matches to the kind of reinforcement learning that current "AI" is suited for.

I put this snake oil in the same category as "financial advice"--if it worked, they wouldn't be sharing it and would simply be printing money by taking advantage of it.
Glad to hear it. And thanks for the pointer on OpenMiko. It would indeed be nice to port Privastead's camera hub to run directly in the camera firmware. This will make the setup a lot easier: no need for a machine to act as a hub.

These are generally government CAs, so, typically the situation is Microsoft sold the government Windows, and as part of that deal (at least tacitly) agreed to the CA being trusted, and so every system that's trusting these certificates is a Windows PC anyway, running Edge because the whole point was the government will only use Windows and pays Microsoft $$$.

Why bake it into everybody else's Windows? If you make say a Brazil Government-only Windows which trusts this CA instead, I guarantee somebody crucial in Brazil will buy a 3rd party Windows laptop independently and it doesn't work with this CA's certificates and that ends up as Microsoft's problem to fix, so, easier to just have every Windows device trust the CA.

They'll have an assurance from the CA that it won't do this sort of crap, and that's enough, plausible deniability. Microsoft will say they take this "very seriously" and do nothing and it'll blow over. After all this stuff happened before and it'll happen again, and Windows will remain very popular.

I think the canned answer will be that drive and determination will lead to results if the innate talent is there. Their heuristic then will be that if they're hard to spot, they can't be that great to begin with, because aspiration would lead to great outcomes. I think this is an unfair view.

I've jumped through all those hoops to get hired. It would be nice if the years and proof of experience on paper were enough - that's how I'd like to be hired - but it's not enough, apparently.
It's just the pendulum swinging back the other way. Nothing has changed, we just have a generation of engineers that grew up buying into the microservices as panacea narrative who are more mature and are teaching the next generation not to make the mistakes they did without the awareness that that's what the generation before them was trying to do for them.

Both approaches are valid, there is no silver bullet. Critical thinking will always be necessary to choose the right approach, though perhaps an ai will be the one doing that for the next next generation.

I used to live in the area around where the red delicious was first developed, and they are indeed very different from what people became used to. The original red delicious - assuming the local orchards have something closer to the original - is/was much smaller, rounder, and closer to something like a macintosh. If you had one you wouldn't recognize it as red delicious unless someone told you and then you'd be confused.

I worry a bit the same thing is happening with honeycrisp. In addition to the the out-of-season sales (some of the dates people are talking about with honeycrisp are ridiculous), there's genetic drift. The University of Minnesota has always been worried about this happening, speaking to staff with their apple program. The problem is clones get propagated from clones of clones, some of which are fraudulently hybrids with other varieties, and eventually you end up with something that's not really the same anymore. Big growers choose ancestors that produce fruit with the characteristics that benefit them, and by that point buyers don't remember the original anymore.

The problem, as people are pointing out, is largely what large-scale agriculture does to plant varieties in terms of breeding, as well as the problems with freshness. What the growers and distributors want from fruit is not what you want as a consumer. There's probably some important lessons there for capitalism or markets in general.
> hundreds of milliseconds. Yes, there are a few specialized domains where this will matter. No, you probably don’t work in one.

This is funny to me, because I would think that for hundreds of milliseconds, anything user-facing is impacted. It's on the order of the human reaction time (~200ms). That's noticeable delay.

I do not work in frontend, so perhaps I am misguided. But I have had bad user experience using apps with even 100ms delay that require a lot of input (for example using excel or something in a streaming VM).

That's not an argument made in the linked tweet. His claim is "they couldn't replicate it because they didn't follow the steps", which seems like a very reasonable claim, regardless of the motivation behind making it.

As someone who has no skin in the game and is only loosely following this, there is a tool: https://github.com/google-research/circuit_training, the detractors claim to not be able to reproduce Google's results (what Dean is commenting on) with it, Google and 1-2 other companies claim to be using it internally to success (e.g. see the end of this article: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/how-alphachip-transfor...).
By sticking to truth and reality. There is integrity in showing the numbers (planetary coordinates, segments of time, etc) as they are, they are real phenomenon.

It’s up to the user to devise their own interpretations. I do not do any interpretations, and that’s by choice. Pure calculations.

And what I have discovered is that all “astrologers” are different. Some are into glossy magazine style horoscopes. Others are more interested in a kind of “celestial statistics” — how and when things align, how movements create harmonics, etc. There’s a rich field of mathematical thinking if one wishes for that.

Everybody gets their own piece of cake. I am happy with what I do, they are happy with the toolkit provided. One can’t judge a pocket calculator for how it may be used.

Funky feature requests? Surprisingly not that often. The reason is perhaps the intent behind the app. It doesn’t classify itself as a “crystal ball”, it’s a calculator. So I stick to what is called “classical astrology”, ie something borderline between astronomy, philosophy and mathematics. Pure foundational basics.
My guess is the framing in that paper was chosen to be provocative. The authors surely understand deep neural networks neither reason nor recite as we understand it in humans.

In any case, the conclusion was decidedly against reasoning.
It's a good thing that he didn't say that, then.

The tweet just says that the reproduction attempt didn't didn't actually follow the original methodology. There is no claim that the authors of the replication attempt were "idiots" or anything similar, you just made that up. The obviously fallacious logic in "they couldn't replicate it ..., therefore it's replicable" is also a total fabrication on your part.
Why do people insist on having remote telemetry from these kinds of appliances?
The simple solution would be to have independent entities offer trust assertions about CAs and to allow users to consider multiple entities' views in their decision about whether to trust. It's surprising this doesn't exist yet when the attack vector is so clear.
Sure. Other than being extremely expensive unless you've got the skills and facilities to do all the work yourself, and have the time and money to get all the engineering certifications required to make it road legal.

It is really really difficult to make any thing from a burl that is within the range of a hobbyist that isn’t turned. The grain is impossible, and they are really hard so working it with normal tools (a hand plane or a spoke shave) is just going to tear out as the direction of grain changes. I’ve never seen a veneer cutter that could handle a burl that was within hobbyist reach, but a lathe is going to cost you under 1000$ and probably under 500$ if you get a used one with good capacity.
Agreed.

Another take has always been china doesn’t have environmental regulations so they can go faster. Is this true? on the face of it I don’t believe it because the insane cost differential would be like 10% cheaper Chinese evs not 50%.

Even in North America you’re seeing this bifurcating. I split time between New York City and a deep red and rural state. EVs are one of the weird commonalities between them. Not because of politics. But because I’m in a rich area in each.

Other than Exxon, Big Oil bet on renewables.

The answer is simpler: there was a messaging fuck-up and groundswell backlash from poor Americans being told they had to replace their cars at huge expense.
It's not a value judgement, just doesn't help his case at all. He'd need to counter the replication problem, but apparently that's not an option. Instead, he's making people who were unable to replicate it look bad, which actually strengthens their criticism.

At the end of the day my question is simply why does anyone care about the drama over this one way or another?

Either the research is as much of a breakthrough as is claimed and Google is about to pull way ahead of all these other "idiots" who can't replicate their method even when it is described to them in detail, or the research is flawed and overblown and not as effective as claimed. This seems like exactly the sort of question the market will quickly decide over the next couple of years and not worth arguing over.

This also requires revising U.S. regulations to be less onerous. Look at China’s export-variant EVs, see why they couldn’t be admitted into America, and question if that requirement is actually important. Because while it’s keeping Chinese EVs out, it’s also making American production uncompetitive.
