I have bad news for you about which side of things a lot of the 2nd amendment fans are gonna be on if this comes to the US.

The history with actual cases of private arms being used to support or to resist government tyranny in the US can be generously described as "mixed".

It's also telling that so many instances like that, in the US and elsewhere, start with "... and then the good guys (or sometimes bad guys) seized a barely-guarded state armory". It's debatable how relevant private arms are to the resistance of tyranny anyway.

Foreign occupations are a whole other matter. When the call's coming from inside the house, plenty of your fellow "freedom-lovers" are helpfully using their liberty to liberate you from your liberty.
They are charging as much as Nvidia for it. Now imagine they offered such a card for $2k. Would that allow them to eat Nvidia's lunch?

particularly since my esteem for Haldeman has gone up (https://sff180.com/reviews/h/haldeman/worlds.html changed my life)
Did a quick search for "hair" since in my experience the most obnoxious part of using a traditional EEG cap was having to rinse the gel out of my hair in the sink afterwards (I was in a research study and had to do this multiple times a month, right before heading to class. Always left me looking disheveled). It looks like this approach works better for slightly hairy skin (the person in most of these figures has a buzz cut) than other e-tattoo methods but they do note:

> More work is needed to scan and print on heads with long and thick hairs. Highlighting the persistent issue of racial bias in neuroscience research is crucial, as traditional EEG electrodes are often unreliable on individuals of African descent, resulting in suboptimal patient experiences and outcomes in clinical settings.69,70 Curly hairs tend to push against the EEG cap, reducing contact between the electrodes and the scalp, leading to a poor contact impedance.71 Developing on-scalp digital printing for different hair types should prioritize bridging this important gap.
In addition to all that we don't know about synapses etc, I've often wondered if even mapping all the "hardware connections" so to speak would even be enough. You'd have everything in the right place, but what about the "signals" running on it? Does a certain amount of constant activity on these circuits constitute signs of a "living" brain vs a dead one? How much of our consciousness is really in the topology of the circuits, and how much of it is simply defined by the constant activity running around in them? I assume neural circuits form loops that consist of synapses that reinforce or surpress activity. If these signals going around and around ever "stop", can they ever be started again with the same "patterns"? What if these patterns, the living "software", are at least partially what define you?

Well anyway that's my airchair crackpot neuroscience theory for the world to consume ;). I'm sure there must already be a name for the idea though.

Thanks for sharing. It is difficult to know for certain. If the respiratory infection led to hypoxic damage, then that could also contribute.

What if they put 8 identical GPUs in the package, each with 1/8 the memory? Would that be a useful configuration for a modern LLM?
I don't even know where to start, your biases here are so explicit.

- The assumption that "verbose = readable" and "explicit loops = clearer"? Seriously?

- The suggestion that "looking stupid" is somehow a virtue in code? "Simple" I can still buy, but "stupid"... really?

- You're using new Number() - which is actually wrong - it creates a Number object, not a primitive;

- You `sum +=` is doing not a single op but multiple things implicitly: addition, assignment, potential type coercion, mutation of state;

- for loops are another layer of complexity - iterator protocol implementation, mutable loop counter management, scoping issues, potential off-by-one errors, break/continue possibilities, possible loop var shadowing, etc. Even though for..of is Javascript's attempt at a more FP-style iteration pattern and is safer than the indexed loop.

You clearly underestimate how natural functional concepts can be - composition is a fundamental concept we use daily (like "wash then dry" vs "first get a towel, then turn on water, then...").

Your "simple" imperative version actually requires understanding more concepts and implicit behaviors than the functional version! The irony is that while you're trying to argue for simplicity, you're choosing an approach with more hidden complexity.

Again, I'm not huge fan of Haskell, yet, the Haskell version has:

- No hidden operations

- No mutation

- Clear, single-purpose functions

- Explicit data flow

You have just demonstrated several key benefits of functional programming and why anyone who writes code should try learning languages like Haskell, Clojure, Elixir, etc., even though practical benefits may not be obvious at first.

Well informed gamers know Intel's discrete GPU is hanging by a thread, so they're not hoping on that bandwagon.

Too small for ML.

It's not technically possible to just slap on more RAM. GDDR6 is point-to-point with option for clamshell, and the largest chips in mass production are 16Gbit/32 bit. So, for a 192bit card, the best you can get is 192/32×16Gbit×2 = 24GB.

To have more memory, you have to design a new die with a wider interface. The design+test+masks on leading edge silicon is tens of millions of NRE, and has to be paid well over a year before product launch. No-one is going to do that for a low-priced product with an unknown market.

The savior of home inference is probably going to be AMD's Strix Halo. It's a laptop APU built to be a fairly low end gaming chip, but it has a 256-bit LPDDR5X interface. There are larger LPDDR5X packages available (thanks to the smartphone market), and Strix Halo should be eventually available with 128GB of unified ram, performance probably somewhere around a 4060.

I don't think I agree with you. There are multiple examples in society of damaged nervous system connections with the brain, spine cord damage for example, where the personality of the pacient changes little. In the same sense, losing limbs or entire sections of your body (aside from psychological trauma and other psychological consequences) don't affect personality that much

Of course the nervous system is much more complex, but damage to the brain almost always result in some sort of cognitive dysfunction or personality change, see the Phineas Gage case for example.

I do not misunderstand why Nvidia has a monopoly. You jumped drastically beyond anything I was discussing and incorrectly assumed ignorance on my part. I never said why I thought they had one. I never brought up matters of performance or software or moats at all. I matter of fact stated they had a monopoly, you assumed the rest.

It's impossible to assail their monopoly without utilizing far lower prices, coming up under their extreme margin products. It's how it is almost always done competitively in tech (see: ARM, or Office (dramatically undercut Lotus with a cheaper inferior product), or Linux, or Huawei, or Chromebooks, or Internet Explorer, or just about anything).

Note: I never said lower prices is all you'd need. Who would think that? The implication is that I'm ignorant of the entire history of tech, it's a poor approach to discussion with another person on HN frankly.
1) Is not clearly true. Yes, 'feeling safer' pushes down on reproduction rates. But the _total_ effect on population growth could still be positive if the total death-rate drops enough -- we don't know enough to say for sure. And frankly, I think the most likely outcome is that people would be more likely to have kids if they didn't have to worry about missing out on their chance at XYZ dream.

2) Not true from most moral perspectives, including 'common sense morality'. In a pure utilitarian sense, sure, but most people don't subscribe to that. For example, choosing to not save someone from a burning fire is not the same as choosing to burn them to death. Both the actor and their intention matter.

3) I don't disagree with the first half of your point (that this is a tragedy) but I cannot share your optimism re.: us solving the consequent problems. If there's anything that the last fifty years of modernity have shown, it's that we're actually quite bad at solving broader social problems, with new and even-worse problems often arising well after we thought the original problem settled. Consider global warming (to which the 'solution' looks to be the further impoverishment of the third world, and probably mass deaths due to famine/drought/heat waves), or how we in the US 'solved' mobility by destroying main streets and replacing established public transportation with cars and mazes of concrete. Now we've "solved" loneliness by giving everyone a phone and -- well, I'm sure you know how that went.
The song needs to be updated to reflect our current reality.
This seems as expected to me.

The LLM's statistically average everything they've trained on.

I would expect them to do well at any kind of fuzzy emo sort of task, as well as (at almost the other end of the spectrum) in identifying patterns (such as in radiology images, or images of any kind along with any other data set analysis).

But both of these sorts of tasks are estimations, they're not expected to produce precise factually correct results.
Oooh that is very surprisingly nice! "cloudborn" is a great word there, how lovely, it slows you down at the right moment for a little explosion then at "youth". I wasn't expecting a genuinely excellent answer here :)

So it turns out then that the trick may be to find a way to get them to avoid aping the oceans of human mediocrity they've been spoonfed! Funny, it's the very same reason some poets go off and live in the woods.
I'm still using a 50" 1080p (plasma!) television in my living room. It's close to 15 years old now. I've seen newer and bigger TVs many times at my friends house, but it's just not better enough that I can be bothered to upgrade.
Depending on the market it is still possible to be profitable. There is still a market even though it is narrow and most stations solve the problem like how Stephen King did- you have multiple stations to increase inventory.

Security patches are usually developed by upstream devs and get applied to mainline fairly promptly[1], but you don't want to run head-of-git in production. If you run a distro QEMU then the distro maintainers backport security fixes to whatever QEMU they're currently shipping and produce new packages. None of this is particularly QEMU specific. There's a whole infrastructure of security mailing lists and disclosure policies for people to tell distros about security bugs and patches, so if you're a distro you're going to be in contact with that and can get a headsup before public disclosure.

> I guess agree to disagree on that. If a machine can do something better that a human, then the machine should do it so that the human can focus on stuff that machines can't do as easily

Machines exist for the pleasure of humans, not the other way around

This isn't some kind of "division of labour, we both have strengths and weaknesses and we should leverage them to fill pur roles best" situation

Machines are tools for humans to use. Humans should not care about "doing the things the machines aren't good at". All that matters is can machines do something that humans do not want to do. If they can't, they aren't a useful machine

Replacing humans in areas that humans are passionate about, forcing humans to compete with machines, is frankly inhuman
I believe this kind of stuff is being worked on.
Circular saws and lasers are vastly different in terms of safety. You don't have to worry about the reflection of a table saw in a mirror chopping your finger off, you just need to worry about the actual physical spinning blade, which makes a lot of noise and seems very dangerous - it makes you more cautious just by its nature. A high-power laser pointer (that is available today, not when you were a kid) is very dangerous, in that it operates silently, it's so compact it fits in your shirt pocket, and if it reflects off a surface and hits someone in the eye - which is easy to do - it can cause irreparable damage and the damage may not even be immediately realized. In the worst cases blindness is instant. There's no re-attaching a fingertip, there's no stopping the bleeding. Your eye is just forever damaged.
> Heller draws it's decision from historical reality and originalist philosophy

The "reality" in this sentence here is pretty solidly not accurate. The majority opinion in Heller asserted truths about the past that aren't born out by the historical record. Probably lifted straight from interest-group amicus briefs that agreed with what the majority was inclined to decide to begin with.

[EDIT] Whoops. I mean, that the above is often true in cases that cite history, even legal history, means it might still be true, but I was actually thinking of Bruen, where this happened to a degree that'd be comical if it weren't, you know, the Supreme Court.

That is the catch, you need Go for the next release of Go... So no recent Go, means no new Go... and no deprecated Go in C means no Go to or fro... makes sense now... No? lol =3

If you are porting Go, than you may find it has a legacy dependency on the deprecated version (rarely used except for the porting use-case) which is a problem on some platforms.

To list Node issues would be pointless, as most already re-discover them within minutes. =3

The Korean Constitution says that once the legislature declares an end to martial law, the President "shall comply". The military has to obey the President's orders until that time though, and 'shall comply' has two flaws: (a) it doesn't contemplate what happens if he doesn't and (b) it contemplates time passing, but doesn't specify the duration. These flaws are moot, because the President has complied.
(Assuming you haven't already pushed to remote)

Create a new branch, called "preSplit", at the commit where you want to split. Take your actual branch and reset it to one commit prior. Grab the first set of changes you want from "preSplit" and commit. Repeat until each distinct set of changes has its own commit. If needed, rebase commits after "preSplit" onto your current branch.

I'll do it for you, for a modest fee!
Cheap gaming rigs.

They do well compared to AMD/Nvidia at that price point.

Is it a market worth chasing at all?

Doubt.
It says a lot about how threatened these companies must be: AT&T claims to be profitable, but their infrastructure investment is focused entirely on obstructing competitors. Craigslist used to be a star, but they must be under severe pressure to avoid collapse to have withdrawn ecosystem donations. It says a lot about the fragility of DuckDuckGo that this is all they could commit to Perl, which is really unfortunate; they could have been excellent, but instead their star is apparently diminishing. Oh well.
Ya know…you go once, drag your family to it, etc. It’s not a repeat excursion for locals.

I don't disagree with anything you've said either, in fact I've blogged about this at length: http://leejo.github.io/2017/12/17/tpc_and_the_end_of_languag...

My main issue is that "People still use Perl?" has essentially become a meme at this point. I'm relatively sure that any sufficiently commented on or upvoted thread on HN gets that statement in it somewhere.

Yes, Perl is still used. Extensively. People and companies just don't talk about it. That's the problem with Perl these days.

(Personally I think TAP and CPAN were Perl's greatest contributions, as I was never a heavy user of regexp).
Totally agree. Someone needs to exploit the lack of available gpu memory in graphics cards for model runners. Even training tensors tends to run against memory issues with the current cards.
I have a 4K 43" TV on my desk and it is about perfect for me for desktop use without scaling. For gaming, I tend to turn it down to 1080p because I like frames and don't want to pay up.

At 4K, it's like having 4 21" 1080p monitors. Haven't maximized or minimized a window in years. The sprawl is real.

Inscrutable, impossible-to-win appeals processes seem to go hand in hand with automated enforcement mechanisms. Otherwise the financials don't work.

This may be an area where govt needs to set some kind of standard of talking to a live human and getting a straightforward explanation of why an appeal is denied. EU will probably lead the way if it happens.
It's pretty difficult for me to see this as manipulation, because the alternative is what, making products that society doesn't want?

To me, "manipulation" usually implies some sort of dishonesty or omission of relevant facts, and I'm not seeing that here. This is roughly "the customer is always right" as it applies to the design of green products.
