my hunch is the path forward for intel on both the CPU and the GPU end is to release a series of consumer chipsets with a large number of PCIE 5.0 lanes, and keep iterating this. This would cannibalize some of the datacenter server side revenue, both that's a reboot... get the hackers raving about intel value for the money instead of EPYC. Or do a skunkworks ARM64 M1 like processor; there's a market for this as a datacenter part...

Do you mean that Molly is going too far by not just criticizing the joke, but also, by implication, criticizing the joke-teller?

If Molly had said "I don't think that this joke is funny, and it is in poor taste to make light of victims of accounting fraud" do you think that would have been better and wouldn't have implied anything about the joke-teller?
Google Worried Israeli Contract Could Enable Human Rights Violations
well put, and I had thoughts just like this while reading the linked article.

I find that most of the use cases in that 'wasteland' would be made better by reducing the fluff and focusing on content. In my younger days, I chafed at the restrictions of Markdown and similar tools. However I now appreciate that the results are almost always easier to read.
One could literally take Claude 3.5 Sonnet New or o1-preview and disprove this in an hour or two just by prompting the AI to try to exhibit the type of poetry you want and then maybe asking it to do a little bit of automated critique and refinement.

You can also experiment with having a higher temperature, (maybe just for the first draft).

You claim that LLMs can't make poetry like that. I bet they can if you just ask them to.
Thank You Wtallis. Somewhere along the line, this basic "knowledge" of hardware is completely lost. I dont expect this to be explained in any comment section on old Anandtech. It seems hardware enthusiast has mostly disappeared, I guess that is also why Anandtech closed. We now live in a world where most site are just BS rumours.
This is a necessary component of the Taiwan invasion planned ~2027.
You use at least half of this stack for desktop setups. You need copying daemons, the ecosystem support (docker-nvidia, etc.), some of the libraries, etc. even when you're on a single system.

If you're doing inference on a server; MIG comes into play. If you're doing inference on a larger cloud, GPU-direct storage comes into play.

It's all modular.
I've been getting into React recently, because of entgo and relay on the server.

React with vite for SPA/PWA is lovely.

React as a SSR with Next is a nightmare, because next auth.

Graphql with GLUID aka Relay is awesome. React-oidc-context is awesome. It's all a joy to work with.

Today I tried remix with remix auth.
I have to manually check token expiration, do refresh, decode the jwt, can't seem to have optional auth routes it's all or nothing.

I haven't tried Astro. And the article ended when it came to the "juicy bits" aka the interesting stuff.

I tried Svelte with Houdini. Compared to React Svelte is so barebones. You have to do everything on your own, I mean compared it's just less comfortable, less developed, but it has come a long way, no denying that. Houdini in theory was great but in praxis, it can't do "on Query" fragments and the maintainer or developer didn't help, so I abandoned the project with Svelte kit and Houdini. I even added a repo for him to look at, just a link to the docs about fragments and nothing else. Yeah but on Query fragments are also a part of the Graphql spec. Ah well.

Apollo, last time I used it, it was complicated, maybe it's different now that I have finished one project with Relay and understand more.

Idk what graphql thing exists for Astro. I won't read the followup posts because I'll forget about it.

So yeah, quite useless article tbh, no offense
Prove to me they are.
From the article:

Google’s lawyers, policy team employees and outside consultants — who were asked to assess the risks of the agreement — wrote that since “sensitive customers” like Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the Israeli Security Agency were included in the contract, “Google Cloud services could be used for, or linked to, the facilitation of human rights violations, including Israeli activity in the West Bank.”
I've written many game engines (simulations). I've found that parsing the rulebook into code gives me a much clearer insight into the game.
I think plenty of enthusiastic open source devs would jump at it and fix their software if the software was reasonably open. The same effect as what happened when Meta released LLaMA.
What in the article (sentence or paragraph) contradicts what I wrote?

The article is about how YC defended one of its funded companies against a legal attack. It doesn’t say anything about YC refusing to fund someone who criticized it.
Copies are impossible because every moment is change with bounded but non-zero uncertainty.
I am in the same boat. PayPal and Stripe don't work here, even Mercury is not accepting us anymore. So many ideas to execute, so few options to monetize.
I want to learn the stenography input method (like Plover). Time would be the biggest factor as I’m sure there are enough good-enough keyboards that aren’t much more expensive than some fancy mechanical keyboard.

Imagine if programmers were stenographers and computing wasn’t born/grew up in an age with slow teletypes. Maybe most computer code would be keyword/word-heavy (because that’s what stenography is good at) instead of symbol.. heavy.
I'm reading a book from 1974 right now. The book I read before that was a 2013 adaptation of a book from 1605. The book I read before that was from 1956.

The book I read before was from 1985: I started it while the author was still alive but he died before I finished it. The book I read before that was from 1998.
AWS tends to prioritize performance and scalability over functionality, which is reflected in the design of DynamoDB, SimpleDB, and now DSQL. I'm also not a big fan of this style. It doesn't give customers the flexibility to choose their own trade-offs like Spanner does and assumes that customers can't make these kinds of decisions on their own.
You'll need to be more clear in your last sentence.

If you are cloned while you are sleeping, and both the original and the copy are moved into different rooms before you wake up, both of you think themself is you, and both of you think the other is not you. So, who is correct?
You can just sprinkle in some <script> tags and not have to rely on UI frameworks. I appreciate that Astro let's you do this rather than invent it's own way of doing things.
We bought Russian anti-ship missiles in the 1990s and they were unable to meet our requirements for our testing missiles, so we had to improve them.
It's not an issue of the soul, if you make a copy there are two people now, which are clearly physically separate, and think independently.

Even if you somehow made a perfect instant copy, they'll start drifting apart, as they'll be experiencing different things.

I used to feel bad about trying to shoehorn markdown into places it clearly wasn’t suited, but Quarto put an end to those concerns. It makes damn near anything possible thanks to Pandoc, and sure beats the mish-mash of various single-purpose tooling I used to use for presentations, memoranda, static site generation, documentation, etc.
Someday I want to write a lengthy essay on the software-specific variant of the "Seeing Like a State" problem where certain programmers-- angry that the Real World is actually quite complicated-- demand that the world be made simpler to accommodate their wishes for an easier job and cleaner code architecture. This comment is a great example of this phenomenon, as are stupid proposals like "abolish time zones and make everyone live on UTC because I don't like writing time-and-date code".
I think the idea originated with Max Planck:

German physicist Max Planck somewhat cynically declared, science advances one funeral at a time. Planck noted “a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
That happens when you only build a SINGLE reactor unit after decades of building nothing. Keep improving the design (EPR2) and keep building and the costs and build times will come down.

From what I could understand from the news:
- the current parliament and the president are at war: the president vetoed any law the parliament passed because he doesn't like them. The parliament voted the budget and cut funding to whatever the president wished for.

- all political parties voted to have the martial law order revoked.

I don't know what the fallout of this will be, but the curent president of South Korea is toast. He went all in and lost big time.
You're taking what the above person said too literally. They didn't mean physically dying, they meant your mind dies every night when you sleep and in the morning a new mind/a copy of your previous mind, is what wakes up and continues on as you.

probably worth capturing a few successful situations and documenting that in some marketing way.. also probably worth capturing a few Very Big Fails and making a ticket out of that internally, to improve the system. Seize the day!
I would argue it's short sighted to do nothing to prevent harm from social media, and we certainly won't find out what works or doesn't by doing nothing to chase a perfect solution that will never exist.
I’m do sincerely appreciate your insight. Thank you.
My desktop machine has had 128gb since 2018, but for the AI workloads currently commanding almost infinite market value, it really needs the 1TB/s bandwidth and teraflops that only a bona fide GPU can provide. An early AMD GPU with these characteristics is the Radeon VII with 16gb HBM, which I bought for 500 eur back in 2019 (!!!).

I'm a rendering guy, not an AI guy, so I really just want the teraflops, but all GPU users urgently need a 3rd market player.
No, the constitution mandates the president to stand down. The cabinet approval is just a procedural one to make the boundary clear between authorities. The supreme court's interpretation is that if they don't approve it within a reasonable time, the resolution will automatically take effect regardless of the cabinet.
Java applets were a thing. Emphasis on "were"

They were security nightmares.
I'm looking a the Polaroid Go 2, primarily because it's the smallest of the bunch. And on sale for $60.

I'd love an Instax wide or square, but the camera bodies are just too bulky (at least as big as my rangefinders or micro-4/3+prime). Same for vintage Polaroids, plus the need to use the older battery-included (and more expensive) film packs.

And I'm aware of the limitations inherent in the current Polaroid chemistry and small size. It's a toy and I'm ok with that.
So twins are both the same person? Not sure what you mean, they aren't both you, you create a new person who thinks the same way you do.

You’re right, but most people who are still using C++ over rust aren’t doing so because of better metaprogramming. It’s a relatively minor advantage, and on the other side, the advantages of Rust over C++ are massive.
The fact that "you are different" does not mean a "different you" now exists, though. Change of this specific kind is already intrinsically integrated into your existence and identity.

Seems to be something that kind of happens when someone in Korea rises to the top of political power. Remember the former president that was pretty much ousted for corruption a few years back? She had a confidant that would pull her strings.
Thank you!

It's a regular video recording, and then I noted down the chapter timestamps in an array. (see heroVideoChapterStartTimesSeconds at the very top of https://retcon.app/main.js)
As the video is playing, the player uses this to know what chapter to highlight, and how much to fill its progress bar. (that's updateVideoChapters())
Not if you scale those dollars to 2024 Buck$. Back then, $12,000 was a lot of money. You could rent a whole office building, yearly, for that (actually, you could probably buy it, outright).

Give monthly donations to your local NPR affiliate. Most of them have decently middle-of-the-road biased news, and a few have really good music programming (looking at you, KUTX).
The survivors of the AI winter are not the dinosaurs but the small mammals that can profit by dramatically reducing the cost of AI inference in a minimum Capex environment.
Just to add a little context for those that don't read the article: this jump in scaling performance actually comes from PostgreSQL's improvements from 16 to 17. EDB's Postgres distributions just follow community PostgreSQL extremely closely, so we're able to take advantage of the huge improvements made by the open source PostgreSQL community.

This really is a big thing. Same hardware, same workload, double the performance. That doesn't happen often, especially for a project that got its start in the 1980s and is still growing today.

> This isn't preserving, it's copying. A copy of your brain/personality/you... isn't you... it's a copy. It's a cassette tape playing back the radio you recorded onto it.

That's just one opinion, though. We still don't know what consciousness really is. We don't know what makes us who we are. We don't know if some concept (scientific or supernatural) of a "soul" exists apart from the behavior that arises from the physical structures of the brain.

We just don't know. So maybe you're right, but that's far from clear.
That 128gb is hanging off a dual channel memory bus with only 128 total bits of bandwidth. Which is why you need the GPU. The Epyc and Xeon CPUs I'm discussing have 6x the memory bandwidth, and will trade blows with that GPU.
There are code bases for SINGLE Lisp applications which go into several million lines of code. For example PTC's CAD system had several years ago >7 million lines of Common Lisp.
Rust, I've been experimenting with it, and (tutorial) code written a year ago doesn't compile anymore.
If there's something you shouldn't use, it's Rust, at least for the time being. Maybe in 10 years.
I'm not merely a mind. I am an embodied mind.
Same in SF; I used the FastTrak chat for a wrong overdue charge (I was never sent a notice) and they just cancelled. Every notice also comes with a photo of your car, so not sure what happened to og or when.

Allow me a moment here to ask - could someone please build a modern Epson V600 that can process at least three frames of 6x7 medium format film at once?

This area of tech seems totally stagnant (obviously) but seems like a great time for someone with some hardware smarts and interest to innovate for low cost.
I don't believe in a soul in the sense of a "ghost in a machine", since it introduces so many problems. Nonetheless, it's pretty clear that there is an immaterial component to thought, and therefore to our existence, for various reasons. Examples:

1. If we are entirely material, we can't know anything. For example, if you're thinking about a tree, there must be something about you that has 'grasped' what it is to be a tree. This is impossible if your idea of a tree is nothing more than a bunch of neurons firing in a given way. There is no correspondence between neurons firing and a tree. So there must be more to your thought than neurons firing (or any other material process).

2. Similarly, if we're entirely material, we can't reason. A reasonable thought differs from an unreasonable thought only by its content. It can't differ in this way by its material components in the brain. Therefore, if we hold that some thoughts are wrong and others are right, we must conclude that there is more to our thought than the material.
Sure, but open drivers have been AMDs selling point for a decade, and even nVidia is finally showing signs of opening up. So it's bit dubious if these new Intels really can compete on this front, at least for very long.
You're right, nothing would change, and both scenarios do play out the same. The difference would be the knowing about it part. That's what changes things for me. If it currently happens that way I wouldn't be aware of it, but if I knew that it was going to happen, the act of knowing, makes it an issue, for me anyway, even if it still plays out the same as every other time.
Now smeej won't be able to sleep at night again.
The use of non-experts as judges renders this meaningless.

Imagine an algorithm that drew random shapes. Then ask people who've never engaged with art theory or history to compare its output with what they see in a modern art museum. You'd get results similar to this.

Many forms of art are actually quite inaccessible to novices. What poets see in poems or composers hears in compositions is nothing like what someone from the outside sees or hears. It's a language of its own and if you don't speak the language, you simply won't get it.

This is a statement of fact, I'm not judging if its good or bad or what the layman's opinion is actually worth. But it is empirically how communities of artists operate.
Yes yes, you can find any little thing to add as an argument to support "I don't listen to radio", but a lot of us still listen to radio.

Sometimes, you want to find something other than what's in your mp3/CD/cassette collection. Growing up, there were very specific shows that I would listen to specifically for being introduced to something (whether it was new or old and just new to me). Radio did not become a bad experience to me until Clear Channel/Comcast bought up all of the non-indies and made it greater than 80% chance that you'd hear a commercial whenever you tuned into any given station.

I'd also suspect that your "a lot of us" sounds really big in whatever echo chamber you find yourself

These releases usually happen after trading hours, so instant analysis isn't super helpful for making trades.
If there's a conflict, Retcon shows that to you, but you can keep freely moving commits around—it's not blocking.
Once you're happy with how your history looks like, you can start actually resolving any remaining conflicts, and after that the history gets actually written.

Sometimes, just moving things around further is enough to resolve the conflicts, too, if they're simple enough!

Except for arguably the most important one, creating something that people enjoy. Just because you dont like it doesnt make it worthless. I guess the actual question is do the raters actually get any enjoyment out of the ai poem or do they just intensely dislike both?
We can barely even do “artificial intelligence” correctly. Let alone mapping the human brain to a digital representation. It’s an interesting concept but in order to “preserve” the brain, wouldn’t one have to get their brain dissected layer by layer and thus killing the subject in the first place?

Then storing all of that information without any loss would likely well exceed current technological limits. Then the computing power need to run the brain would have to be immense.
