I think this tool surfaces information not previously immediately digestible by retail investors.

Institutional investors have had systems like this in place for decades. LLMs might improve parsing the data in some ways, but this is (and was) completely doable before the LLM era, meaning there’s probably not a huge amount of secret sauce here worth protecting.

If anything, a project like this simply improves the information asymmetry between retail and institutional investors.
My 7800x says not really. Compared to my 3070 it feels so incredibly slow that gets in the way of productivity.

Specifically, waiting ~2 seconds vs ~20 for a code snippet is much more detrimental to my productivity than the time difference would suggest. In ~2 seconds I don't get distracted, in ~20 seconds my mind starts wandering and then I have to spend time refocusing.

Make a GPU that is 50% slower than a 2 generations older mid-range GPU (in tokens/s) but on bigger models and I would gladly shell out 1000+$.

So much so that I am considering getting a 5090 if nVdia actually fixes the connector mess they made with 4090s or even a used v100.
I really hate this idea. The wrong people would get to persist indefinitely -- the malignantly greedy who hoard majority of the resources and make life miserable for billions of others.
Disclosure: HPC admin who works with NIVIDA cards here.

Because, no. It's not as simple as that.

NVIDIA has a complete ecosystem now. They have cards. They have cards of cards (platforms), which they produce, validate and sell. They have NVLink crossbars and switches which connects these cards on their card of cards with very high speeds and low latency.

For inter-server communication they have libraries which coordinate cards, workloads and computations.

They bought Mellanox, but that can be used by anyone, so there's no lock-in for now.

As a tangent, NVIDIA has a whole set of standards for pumping tremendous amount of data in and out of these mesh of cards. Let it be GPU-Direct storage or specialized daemons which handle data transfers on and off cards.

If you think that you can connect n cards on PCIe bus and just send workloads to them and solve problems magically, you'll hurt yourself a lot, both performance and psychology wise.

You have to build a stack which can perform these things with maximum possible performance to be able to compute with NVIDIA. It's not just emulating CUDA, now. Esp., on the high end of the AI spectrum (GenAI, MultiCard, MultiSystem, etc.).

For other lower end, multi-tenant scenarios, they have card virtualization, MIG, etc. for card sharing. You have to complete on that, too, for cloud and smaller applications.
Yes, code executes directly from a literal loop of paper tape, and more specifically, there is only one loop (the paper tape loop), and every instructions executes at every iteration.

Yet it can do what any other computer can do (in terms of computation, not I/O), because not every instruction has to actually effectively do something in each iteration, and it is a cornerstone of theoretical computer science that you can transform every program into one represented in an academic language called "WHILE", which is restricted to exactly that principle: It only consists of a single outer WHILE loop, and then inside the loop you have a bunch of conditions.

A few years ago before ES2015 sure. But JavaScript has come a long way, it’s a much more pleasant language to work with nowadays. Typescript also plays a strong role with that. Lua used to be marginally better than JS, now JS is better and it’s not even close. Also Lua metatables suck.

> Vacuum Tubes require high voltages to work efficiently and are not for the faint hearted.

People used to build vacuum tube circuits on breadboards at home back in the 1950s. They seem pretty frightening by today’s standards, but they’re a lot like big, hot, high-voltage, low-current transistors. The low-power tubes used for signals are not that hot, just kind of warm.

I’m not really criticizing here, I just want people to think of vacuum tubes as accessible to people with any kind of electronics background, and just more inconvenient than transistors.

Just still a "work-in-progress" but I created a repo with notebooks and scripts that can be used to convert FASTA files for CombFold (which performs a combinatorial assembly of subunits) alongside protein prediction in AlphaFold and then generates a summary table of the predictions in Jupyter.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
That being said, the biasing voltages get crazy too, leading to the big boy voltages.

300v b+ combined with 200v c- means that you're at 500v of potential if you short the wrong bits that are probably right next to eachother.

Rebecca Howe: He called this radio station he owns and he had them play it all night.

Woody Boyd: I heard that. I thought that was the long version
You are absolutely correct, and even my non-prophetic ass echoed exactly the first sentence of the top comment in this HN thread ("Why don't they just release a basic GPU with 128GB RAM and eat NVidia's local generative AI lunch?").

Yes, yes, it's not trivial to have a GPU with 128gb of memory with cache tags and so on, but is that really in the same universe of complexity of taking on Nvidia and their CUDA / AI moat any other way? Did Intel ever give the impression they don't know how to design a cache? There really has to be a GOOD reason for this, otherwise everyone involved with this launch is just plain stupid or getting paid off to not pursue this.

Saying all this with infinite love and 100% commercial support of OpenCL since version 1.0, a great enjoyer of A770 with 16GB of memory, I live to laugh in the face of people who claimed for over 10 years that OpenCL is deprecated on MacOS (which I cannot stand and will never use, yet the hardware it runs on...) and still routinely crushes powerful desktop GPUs, in reality and practice today.

I listen to KUTX and KEXP and appreciate that there are shows hosted by different DJs that play different genres at different times of the day, and week.

On Friday afternoons KUTX has had a old school dance show.

I don't really listen to funk or disco but I always enjoyed the energy of that show on Fridays, and have come to associate it with the weekend and get excited when it's on

I'm not interested in everything KUTX plays, but I'm way more interested in the variety they offer and the chance to discover new artists like Adrian Quesada, JUNGLE, or Khruangbin, who I otherwise never would have discovered, than I am in whatever twenty year old mainstream dreck is on iHeartRadio's single-genre no DJ shuffle broadcast

> The impact of Markdown becomes clear if we plot a random sample of content websites. (Disclaimer: the data is made-up, based on my perception of the state of the web)

Perhaps the author's thesis is wrong.
Me too, probably 2x. I’d sell like hot cakes.
1) We already have a growing population, and I don't think it's inherent that curing mortality must make it grow faster. The net effect would certainly be an ongoing upwards growth (since I would hope that population never goes down), but I'm arguing that the net effect does not inherently have to be unchecked exponential growth. Immortality doesn't solve resource constraints, and resource constraints do influence people's choices. That said, I also believe that even if it did result in faster growth, that isn't a reason to not solve the problem.

2) The equivalence here isn't "choosing to not save". Choosing to push someone back into a burning building, or preventing them from trying to escape, is equivalent to choosing to burn them to death.

3) I am an incorrigible optimist and don't intend to ever stop being one. Humanity is incredible and it's amazing what we can solve over time. I don't believe that any potential solution we might come up with is worse than doing nothing and letting 150k people die every day.

Basically an uninteresting conclusion. Of course a "non-expert" reader isn't going to be able to distinguish between AI and Walt Whitman--a "non-expert" reader likely won't even know who Walt Whitman is. "Expertise" is needed to even make the question meaningful.
I was laid off just before Thanksgiving 2023[1] from a Principal Engineer role on a Platform Engineering team. I was employed there since 2018.

I was very lucky to get referrals from a few folks that I social dance with in Seattle after that layoff, and I ended up with a job offer in a product area I knew very little about (networking, routing, programmable packet processing middleware with eBPF etc.)

Despite my lack of domain knowledge, I was told I received the offer largely because of my demonstrated proficiency in Rust (I did all the interview whiteboarding sessions in Rust), and although this isn't something that is measured "officially" in the interview process, because there are many hours of me live programming online[2] for people to feel confident that they're not hiring a dud who has hyper-specialized in passing interviews which are not representative of real-world workloads.

I general advise people in your situation to start looking further down the world's dependency tree, where things churn less frequently, and where the skills you acquire will last longer. This can be easier said than done, but since my very first job was as a React developer, I can at least share my path down the dependency tree:

Frontend (React etc.) -> Backend (web APIs) -> Infrastructure / Platform / DevOps (started with a cloud automation focus, moved gradually towards to bare metal) -> Networking (I'm in ur VPCs, directing ur packets)

All of this being said, the job market right now is very tough. I doubt I could walk out of this job and into another within 3 months like I did this time last year.

Why not go out with a bang and spend your life savings on hookers and blow (or whatever decadent thing floats your boat)?

My point is that I suspect most of us wouldn't do anything differently, even if we know it's not our consciousness continuing on, because both scenarios are identical for all practical purposes.
Of course you're free to listen to whatever you want, but I'm still happy to tune in to my old home town/country radio station every once in a while (when visiting or via streaming), and I still find their programming quite enjoyable. So it's not abstract nostalgia to me.
The question is whether there's enough overall demand for a GPU architecture with 4x the VRAM of a 5090 but only about 1/3rd of the bandwidth. At that point it would only really be good for AI inferencing, so why not make specialized inferencing silicon instead?

Do we actually need text editing support all conceivable edge cases? I guess I don't care how the cursor behaves as long as it's mostly predictable and consistent.

Agreed. In a similar vein, when our YC company was failing I had a great call with Jessica Livingston, and looking back it was purely moral support and not anything economically motivated.
Coming back as a brain in a vat certainly sounds awful.

But I would assume that bringing someone back would be tied to a physical or simulated body that provided a compatible context.

This is such a weird conversation to me. As I said before, I'm not surprised I don't, and you don't grok.

What order? Order? I go to the grocery store from time to time. I also go to the pharmacy. When I do, I buy things I require. It's literally that simple. I do the same with any other type of food, or supply I need.

Why aren't you asking me if I have trouble buying butter, toothpaste, salt, pepper? I see I'm getting low, and I buy. Done. Super simple.

Literally, the entire planet seems to do it mostly this way.

The truly sad part is that there wasn't a portion of the inheritance earmarked for an endowment to keep the museum going. I've heard from unreliable sources that Paul might have assumed this would happen via the executors of his will but the executors decided otherwise. :(

An endowment of 200M at a pittance 6% interest rate would more than cover the costs of running the museum, but they probably wouldn't have even needed that much after working on figuring out how to make it generate a bit more revenue.

I'm sad that I never got to attend, but would have easily paid close to $100 to visit.

That’s kinda the point. Scammers want to deal with the poorly informed, the gullible, the vulnerable. They concomitantly prefer that the wary and street-smart select themselves away.

This makes sense if you believe in a non-materialist self, like a soul. That model wouldn't be falsifiable- we can't measure it, so it can have whatever properties are convenient. You could then rule out the possibility that your soul would inhabit the copied 'you' by fiat.

Scientifically, though: of course an exact copy of you is you. If you don't believe in souls but still feel like this is not the case, that indicates your model of 'you' is incorrect.

You need FAA waivers to send stuff up there. There comes an altitude (18k IIRC) above which all airspace is controlled, you're not supposed to be up there without following the directions of the relevant tower and carrying a transponder that they can talk to. But an amateur rocket has no ability to follow such directions so you have to get FAA permission to get exclusive access to a chunk of airspace.

Of course the FAA doesn't give out such waivers willy nilly, they expect the amateur rocket community to minimize the need. Thus there are launch sites in the middle of nowhere that have launch windows where the big stuff is allowed.

They also self-regulate on availability of the big motors. The guys who make them won't sell them to anyone who isn't certified, other than as part of a launch to get said certification which is done under the supervision of someone who is certified. They don't have the force of law but so far it's worked. (And there's the separate issue of the hazmat rules about those big motors--most people can neither legally store nor transport them. Take delivery at the launch site and use them.)
