Most of the above infra is predicated on limiting RAM so that you need so much communication between cards. Bump the RAM up and you could do single card inference and all those connections become overhead that could have gone to more ram. For training there is an argument still, but even there the more RAM you have the less all that connectivity gains you. RAM has been used to sell cards and servers for a long time now, it is time to open the floodgates.

Even if we could the brain is an amazingly efficient mechanism for computation. It uses such a low amount of power that it's hard to imagine a computer based AI model ever genuinely competing with it.

If the environment and entropy are human scale concerns than AI is decidedly a dead end for us.

Unfortunately much of earnings responses is written after the fact. If the stock price goes up you can point to some positive parts. If it goes down, you can point to some negative parts. I see that all the time. "Earnings beat estimates but analysts were worried about declining growth in app related earnings and looming regulatory threats". Sometimes they even switch! The stock goes up, reporters write their pieces, then it goes back down and switch over to another explanation.

Nothing. That was the case with the ATF bump stock ban a few years ago - eventually it was deemed executive overreach. But, the bar for proving that was higher with Chevron in place (went to appeals, where without Chevron it could go either way in district court based on a single judge's opinion).

Presumably, if there were a way for the headlights to comply with both US and EU regulations, they'd just have them be that way everywhere, rather than having to deal with multiple configurations at all. So are the US and EU both saying that each other's way is wrong and too dangerous?

They really should've tried to generate better video examples, those two videos that they show don't seem that impressive when you consider the amount of resources available to AWS. Like what even is the point of this? It's just generating more filler content without any substance. Maybe we'll reach the point where video generation gets outrageously good and I'll be proven wrong, but right now it seems really disappointing.

Right now when I see obviously AI generated images for book covers I take that as a signal of low quality. If AI generated videos continue to look this bad I think that'll also be a clear signal of low quality products.

Hi! I'm Theo! I'm a product-minded, full-stack engineer with 7-8 years' experience. I like to think of myself as proactive, pragmatic and an strong communicator. My experience is primarily in architecting and building event-driven services in AWS, and I've also got lots of experience with React and Python.

While I love programming, my favourite thing about being an engineer is building things that are useful and nailing down the right model for the domain. I'm a big believer in observability.

My experience is mostly at start-ups and scale-ups to date. In recent roles I've been working as a the principal engineer / engineering manager. I want to focus on being an individual contributor for the moment.

I've been working fully-remotely for the past 6 months and I'm really not enjoying it at all. I'm looking for a senior, back-end-leaning role at a company with smart, collaborative people who I can see in real life!

Bonus points for clean energy companies :)

I wonder why someone like Bill Gates didn't step in.

Soul or not, it wouldn't be me. Imagine that I was alive and existed next to the cloud copy of me. It would be 2 different minds with a common core. A database restore to a new cluster, that immediately became different afterward because our two experiences would drift. Funny enough, the db term for a db cluster which has two writable primary instances, which have received differing sets of writes containing different sets of data, is called a "split-brain".

So if I exist and have my own thoughts and the cloud copy exists and has its own thoughts, and we are taking in reality differently than each other, we are 2 distinct minds. Now imagine I died. What has that changed for the copy of me? Nothing. It's still a different mind than mine. My mind is dead. I'm dead. A copy of me existing after I die does not change the fact that I died. It does not help me, literally me, live forever.
I do wonder sometimes if each period of being awake is the entire subjective experience of a sequence of independent conscious entities. Like I woke up today with the memory of yesterday, but possibly that version of me that had the subjective experience of being was an ephemeral phenomenon that ceased to exist when I fell asleep, just as I will tonight.
If it calms your dread, know that most people who died expectedly (long illness) want to die.

So you have no need to fear the inevitability of death, only fear the inevitability of the desire for death.

Finally, to cure the fear the inevitability of the desire for death, live your life so well that even if you die accidentally, it's worth it.

> Could be the trauma that caused the amputation, could be the amputation.

Given the personality changes seen in people who go off to fight in the military and who end up coming back fully physically intact, I think it's more likely that the personality changes here were caused by the trauma, not by the amputation.

I'm not saying the latter isn't possible, but absent evidence to the contrary, it doesn't make much sense to assume the personality changes occurred because of the amputation alone.

Also consider that amputation -- even ignoring whatever trauma precipitated it -- is its own sort of trauma. I imagine if someone came up to me, perfectly physically healthy, knocked me out, and cut off my leg, I would wake up and develop emotional trauma that would cause personality changes.

I agree entirely.

My point was that even if Intel disappeared tomorrow, there's a good chance that Linux developer community would take over maintenance of those drivers.

In contrast to, e.g., 10-years-ago nvidia, where IIUC it was very difficult for outsiders to obtain the documentation needed to write proper drivers for their GPUs.

You remember going to sleep last night. So even if you died and a copy of you was made, intuitively, subjectively, you feel that tomorrow is still you, same as yesterday was same you, even if there is some technical disconnect.

> To dismiss the Romans, the colonials, &c, as of no benefit, however, is to deny reality.

At no point did I dismiss the knowledge-transfer as being of no benefit. The point I was making is that it is very easy to be on a high horse and say "It was worth it" when you were not on the sharp end of the stick. By reframing the set-up with China as the imperial power, I hope to show the readers that the cost of "upliftment" might be something the unwilling subjects may consider culturally valuable (like democracy)[1]. Such one-dimensional analysis is intellectually lazy.

1. Imperialism has been dissected many times over the centuries, in fiction and otherwise, but it bears repeating.

No, one is a copy of you. There is only one you. Literally. A copy can be perceived as being you, but it's literally, physically, not you. If it was you, literally you, it couldn't exist in both. Your copy could answer a question differently than you might, because the copy would immediately start having a different experience than you. If it was you, that wouldn't be possible. If it was a copy of you, you wouldn't exist along side of it, and it wouldn't be able to answer a question differently than you.

If you said something unflattering about YC once and got uninvited from demo day, that's on you. But being black listed from ever investing in any YC-backed startup even if you reach out to founders directly is taking things too far. And potentially an antitrust issue.

Part of what makes this so obviously a fucked-up decision is that now some poor E-3 can easily be prosecuted for egregiously-illegal horse-shit while the "buck stops here" fucking President who ordered it is untouchable.

Like, if it's not plainly an awful decision on its face (and god, it so very is) then the fact that just about every plausible application of it looks something like that, as far as who can and cannot be held responsible for their actions, should demonstrate that the decision is, in the highest ideal of what it means to be American, deeply un-American.
From what my experience tells me, many people prioritize their children's life over their own. Kind of like the insurance policy that lives on carrying their values further after they have died.
So this is not really that much different. Your own body is nearing it's end but a new vessel is carrying your values your influence on the world further. Even if it is a physically separate part from the own body it's the close enough for me to be considered living beyond my death.
You're assuming that there exists such a cloning process, and in doing so, silently ascribing properties to that process that completely change the outcome.

You're in effect saying "Assume there is a cloning process that is instant and creates a complete copy of you, both mentally and physically," and sure, in that theoretical world, you can talk about there being no way to know which was you, the clone or the original.

But IRL, we have no way of knowing what the properties of such a cloning process would be - maybe it's impossible to create a cloning process such that mentally, it is a complete copy. Maybe you can always tell whether you're the original or the clone. Similarly, maybe we simply cannot create a digital copy of a mind that cannot immediately tell it is the copy. We have literally no way of knowing.

So instead of living in the philosphical realm, we can have a lot more productive conversation in the practical one. Practically, it strongly appears to me that I have continuity every time I wake up, and practically, if you copied my mind and ran it on a computer, that mind would not be the "me" that appears to experience continuity. Practically, it would bring me no comfort to know that this other mind that used to be a copy of my own continues onwards while I die, no more so than it would bring me comfort to know a twin of mine continues onwards.

SK's last presidential election in 2022 was very, very close (48.5-47.3), the closest in South Korean history.

Legislative elections take place at the midpoint between presidential elections, and the opposition kept their majority in 2024, so there was hardly a mandate, if anything the legislative elections indicated a rebuke.

Yoon Suk Yeol is the one of the most unpopular democratic heads of state with 19% approval and 72% disapproval.

Digitizing film seems to be a perennial pain point. As far as I know there is no mostly-automated option to scan multiple film formats at high resolution besides paying someone with very expensive equipment to do it for you. The obsolete equipment like those models you mentioned involves a lot of fastidious labor per-frame and is generally pretty awful.

Modern equipment has similar warts. Flatbed scanners are bad film imagers for a number of reasons, a few which you already wrote. There's a huge volume of new products coming out for scanning right now (film holders, copy stands, light panels, etc) but these setups are very inconvenient to set up or, to be charitable, demand practice and perfect technique. There's always people ready to insist they have an easy convenient time setting up their SLR scanners and capturing 1000 rolls at 9999 DPI in 2 minutes. I don't share their experience.

During the pandemic I tried to proof-of-concept a path forward without any real success:

- The first attempt involved modifying a Plustek scanner to take medium format. This ended up taking a ton of work for each medium format frame (4 captures for each of the 4 quadrants, and each of those is already slow for a single 35mm frame). Stitching these captures is tedious and flaky for images that don't have obvious sharp features.

- The other involved rigging the objective of a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II on a Raspberry Pi HQ camera onto an Ender printhead to raster over the film with a light table. This could have worked but it had many mechanical problems I am not cut out to solve (lens mount, camera-to-film-plane alignment)

Leaving aside designing a proper optical path there are 2 killer problems:

- the problem of mechanically manipulating the negative and keeping it in focus

- the problem of stitching together partial captures with minimal human intervention

A few people seem to be working on open source backlit line-scanners but as far as I know no central path forward has emerged.
I hope someone figures it out.

thinking about this even a little makes me want to throw up because this can never be tested. yeah, id be dead, but technically, im alive. im alive according to everyone including myself (new me). So im not dead. But like you said, i died and am dead and dont experience any more life. if all evidence is that i didnt die and still exist, then thats the fact

No. I've been reading up. I'm planning to run Flux 12b on my AMD 5700G with 64GB RAM. CPU will take 5-10minutes per image which will be fine for me tinkering while writing code. Maybe I'll be able to get the GPU going on it too.

Point of the OP is this is entirely possible with even an iGPU if only we have the RAM. nVidia should be irrelevant for local inference.

Right. You'd have a memory of cloning your mind, and the copy wouldn't have a memory of that. From the first boot of the copy, it would be operating with a different set of data than you. Also the fact you exist along side of it, means it's not you. It's a copy of you.
