what are you talking about lmao. US is playing "who should we start war with next". I guess you watched too much mainstream media and cross checked information with media outlets outside US and independent journalists. To be fair it's normal to be ignorant like yourself when mainstream media is a lot more channels than people think.
There are precious few companies who can turn rocks into thinking machines, Intel is one of them for better or worse. It’s a national security issue.
NVidia and AMD make $$$ on datacenter GPUs so it makes sense they don't want to discount their own high-end. Intel has nothing there so they can happily go for commodization of AI hardware like what Meta did when releasing LLaMA to the wild.
I haven't decided/pulled-the-trigger but the Intel ARC series are giving the AMD parts a good run for the money.

The only concern is how well the new Intel drivers work (full support for DX12) with older titles which are continuously being improved (for DX11, 10, and some for 9 others via emulation).

There's likely some deep discounting of Intel cards because of how bad the drivers were at launch and the prices may not stay so low once things are working much better.
CD? Sure, that was entirely in the good era. But the last two games I bought on DVD (something forgotten from EA I think and the nice Mass Effect Trilogy boxset) were what I described - store codes printed in the box, can use the attached physical media to save on downloading time.
This entire argument is weird. My website is relatively rich in content, in different contexts, including (now out of date/deprecated) interactive tutorials. Every single thing on my website is statically generated from Markdown.

Nothing about richness or leanness is implied or enforced by using Markdown for text, it's about everything else around it. On a statically generated page, you do it in Javascript, and render client-side if needed w/ data prepopulated in static objects. The only thing you can't do with a static page that ingests text as RST or Markdown or any other markup language, is something that requires dynamism with a backend database.

This is trying to blame Markdown and statically generated sites for leanness, but minimalism is a stylistic aesthetic choice people made that was a trend for awhile, it's not a requirement of the technology. The technology is just a tool.
Please don't do this here.

You must be a super-taster. Some percentage of the population is super sensitive to taste, and think everything is overseasoned. You must be one of those people. Other people need 2-3x the flavor to match what you taste.
Sufficient for LLMs and image/video gen.
You do not need logical database isolation if you have even stronger isolation with virtual clusters. The pricing and quota will be important factor for that use case.
This is the most script kiddy comment I've seen in a while.

llama.cpp is just inference, not training, and the CUDA backend is still the fastest one by far. No one is even close to matching CUDA on either training or inference. The closest is AMD with ROCm, but there's likely a decade of work to be done to be competitive.
You need to treat any animal bite seriously.

I had to convince a coworker to go to the ER to have a cat bite looked at, and she ended up spending a couple of days in the ICU with the doctor being clear that delaying treatment another few days would have been fatal.
Good luck explaining this to folks who have simple mental model of their own freedoms and that's about it, not much room for empathy in us-vs-them mentality.
I mean, if the legislature declares martial law to be over, and the military recognizes that, then Yoon can say whatever he wants, martial law is still de facto over.

If the president says "martial law", and the military says "no", that's not martial law. That's the president saying some words.

It may still be a coup d'etat attempt by the president, but it's not martial law.

So if the military recognizes the end of martial law, the martial law is over.

If Yoon recognizes it, and the military doesn't, that's a whole nother can of worms. Then it's really a coup.
Confirm this, chi would be invalid. That phrase was never ambiguous, it is taken to mean that anyone who enters there will never be able to leave ever again.

I didn't see the numbers but at our company the savings of moving virt to OpenShift from VMWare were (allegedly) significant. Plus there was something about not having to renew subs for RHEL on the VMs that would be a cost savings as well. So I guess it depends.

Rule 916(d) in the Manual for Courts-Martial, quoted in your second source, is really the pull quote here:

> It is a defense to any offense that the accused was acting pursuant to orders unless the accused knew the orders to be unlawful or a person of ordinary sense and understanding would have known the orders to be unlawful.

So for those non-military reading, while it's almost always a bad idea to try to sea-lawyer your way out (though some court challenges have worked), you also are expected to use "ordinary sense and understanding" to reject orders like "go massacre those clearly unarmed noncombatants." But if it's not as cartoonishly obvious as that, there's a good chance you will have to defend your actions at a court-martial, and the legality of the order will be down to the interpretation of the presiding military judge and appellate courts.
"FTC Bans Location Data Company" no not really.

As I skim that it just feels like a pile of shit that does nothing but create a few jobs to make reports. It doesn't bind the management. They can literally go do the same thing tomorrow.

Oh wait... "Gravy Analytics is now part of Unacast!"

Why isn't Unacast a party? Where is the monetary fine?
Sorry, I'm not gonna hear some podcast PR by Apple. I heard their PR already.

If most people just use web browsers, why so much effort has been put on Rosetta 2? Sounds very wasteful.

Also, A64FX seems to agree with my statement that an ARM with some x86 spice makes a better product than just an ARM.

And, if we're talking about making ARM mainstream, Raspberry Pi did more for the platform than Apple and deserves to get the good reputation.
I'm familiar with the arguments for cloud. I'm also old enough to have been heavily involved in the operation of companies that did all this sort of stuff, on physical hardware, for rather less money than today's cloud offerings cost.

And "the cloud" is not a magical wand for reliability, either. How many times a year does one of AWS's regions being down (or something with CloudFlare being down) front page HN, because a substantial swath of the internet has stopped working?

I'm not saying cloud is never the right answer. However, I do think that anymore, it's such the "default option" that very few people even consider the possibility of hosting their own hardware somewhere. I'm pretty sure I was the first random individual to come talk to my colo in years, because it sure looks like they spun up a "shared rack" for me.
Does CUDA even matter than much for LLMs? Especially inference? I don't think software would be the limiting factor for this hypothetical GPU. Afterall it would be competing with Apple's M chips not with the 4090 or Nvidia's enterprise GPUs.
The above comment doesn't state this explicitly, but bat bites can go unfelt (e.g., if you're sleeping, for instance) so the recommendation if a bat is found inside the house is to keep the bat for rabies testing and see a doctor.
Why would you measure in Hz and not cents [1]?

5 Hz is going to be larger practical pitch difference at G3 (196 Hz) compared to E5 (659 Hz).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cent_(music)
you are correct. Western news media wants it to be bigger than it is right now, because if you check the last month or so, the only people ever talking about 4B movement are western liberals and hmm i wonder why Western Media outlets are obsessed with talking about 4B since trump became into power. Dubious motives.
"as productive as Ruby or Python"

So you basically never have to worry about lifetimes or memory management or the borrow checker? Because that would be a prerequisite for it to be as productive as Python.

I'd love to see a seasoned Python developer and a seasoned Rust developer comparing the time they spend to solve e.g. Advent of Code. I bet the Python dev would solve it at least ten times faster (developer time, not execution time).
You are confusing best practice for what is done all too often. Unsafe should be small blocks, but I've seen people put unsafe on everything even though it isn't needed thus making it hard to find where it is needed. I'm not a rust programmer, but I'm lead to believe that those people then do things that need unsafe - but a safe option not only exists but would have been easier to write.

LLMs as Method Actors: A Model for Prompt Engineering and Architecture
Inference on very large LLMs where model + backprop exceed 48GB is already way faster on a 128GB MacBook than on NVidia unless you have one of those monstrous Hx00s with lots of RAM which most devs don't.
The reason is AMD and Nvidia don't is that they don't want to cannibalize their high end AI market. Intel doesn't have a high end AI market to protect.
in other recent news, the Alameda County Transit system has enabled "AI" cameras on busses, that will auto-generate violations for civilian vehicles in the bus stop, in the new fast transit dedicated lanes, and who knows where else.

In previous times, Alameda County special officers would issue $500 tickets for letting a passenger out of a private vehicle within a bus stop area. In case you don't know, the bus stops are everywhere, and often are large in busy downtown areas. The joke was that these special officers wore gold braids on their uniform, not to mark seniority, but to mark the amount of money generated !! Witnesses saw four or more tickets given out like that in one hour in a busy downtown area, on a certain day more than ten years ago.

To be blunt, tickets of that value, generated automatically for common violations, is a money printing machine. Alameda County Transit in California cannot be the only ones implementing this across the US and elsewhere.
Anyone know what the difference between this and `@napi-rs/canvas` is?

They seem similar?
> Sometimes it's better to call throwing functions and get needed data before modifying the private data

Haha! Here we go back to the topic of unchecked exceptions and "the lesser evil". With unchecked exceptions, every function is throwing! Even if it shouldn't throw today according to the docs:

1. The docs could be simply wrong.

2. It isn't a semver breaking change to start throwing in a future version. The compiler won't warn you when this happens. You won't manually audit all your dependencies when updating them [1].

We come back to the need to properly reflect errors in the type system. Without returning them by value, the only popular alternative is checked exceptions. But, as I mentioned in the updated version of the post [2], checked exceptions in Java are unfriendly to generic code. This is important and will come up right now:

> Imagine you need to call f(h1()) and f(h2()) where h1() and h2() return the same data type for valid data but different types of errors. What do you do?

This depends on the context. A general answer: `f` can be generic over the error type.

fn f<E>(result: Result<_, E>)

If it needs to do something more specific with E, like logging it, it can also have a more specific bound on E:

use std::fmt::Display;
fn f<E: Display>(result: Result<_, E>)

If it has to be a concrete function, it can use runtime polymorphism instead:

use std::fmt::Display;
fn f(result: Result<_, Box<dyn Display>>)

// in this case, the caller has to explicitly box the error
f(h1().map_err(Box::new))

This criticism could be very well placed against Google nowadays.

While at it, please ask Golang team to change YouTube policies.

You may also want to avoid Rust, Java, TypeScript, C and C++. For they too are """tainted""". For good measure, VS Code must be avoided at all cost and, which is terrible news, probably the Linux kernel itself.

i didn't say there was anything that FB should have done different. it's just sad.

it's sad to see a genuinely good company gone and replaced by a slimy one. actually if you include oracle, two slimy ones. who are both inarguably far more successful.

it's sad because it's a statement about what our current economy values and what it does not. and to any of you who have the word "engineer" or "scientist" in your job title: it's definitely not those things.
HBM3E memory is at least 3x the price of DDR5 (it requires 3x the wafer as DDR5) and capacity is sold out for all of 2025 already... that's the price and production bottleneck.

High speed, low latency server grade DDR5 is around $800-$1600 for 128GB. Triple that for $2400 - $4800 just for the memory. Still need the GPUs/APUs, card, VRMs, etc.

Even the nVidia H100 with "only" 94GB starts at $30k...
To learn a new language, you need a reason to learn that new language and you need sufficient drive to go through with it.

Having familiar constructs not only make it easier to code-switch between languages (people that work on multi-language projects know that pain pretty well), but also decreases the barrier to entry to the language in the first place.
You're right, I misread.

Probably the result of hearing people make excuses for Trump's convictions on pretty much exactly the same lines, but in all seriousness.

I'm surprised at how many times _resistors_ go bad, and of course we all know that capacitors fail. But more often than not, all the tubes in a typical 5 tube AM radio I find are working.
before Java was invented

I got my first compiler (Turbo Pascal 2.0!) from a friend's mother who was taking CS classes at the local community college. It ran on her Tandy 1000, I'm not sure what they wrote programs on at her school but she always had stacks of greenbar paper with source code on them.
I really like this one because it’s a valid question about an odd thing that would take a while to answer properly:

There’s also a standard of using the metric system, but there are still plenty of backwards places that don‘t follow it. One of the instruments I play is flute and while there is some flexibility possible to adjust the pitch by moving the headjoint in or out, there is an idealized pitch for the best intonation.¹ Most student instruments are A440 but some intermediate and professional models are tuned to A442 or A444.

1. Granted, the player’s technique also affects intonation so this is not insurmountable.
Yeah - we definitely consider the language edition as we revise our internal lang extension rules...but we still find ourselves even a little more conservative than even GHC2024.
Honest question about the dead "Bitcoin" comment.

which is just so narcissistic! the way i see it sun failed because it was a well run sensible company that made good products, that were liked by its customers, and not eat the world.

and that's not what succeeds. so FB will do just fine, if i'm right about that.
It would be completely disingenuous to use carbon capture as an excuse to continue the use of fossil fuels. Firstly, it will be so price inefficient. Secondly, it delays the inevitable, meaning the transition to clean energy, as some European countries already have accomplished.

The demand for carbon capture makes more sense after we have already transitioned to clean energy, as we can then begin to reverse the damage that excess CO2 and methane have been causing. The financial model for doing this is by a long-acting insurance firm that not only collects insurance but also uses the premium to preemptively take restorative actions.
> I will ignore their claimed almost unlimited scalability (which I somewhat believe as it's in their best interest to make it expensive fast)

I would believe it can scale your cost easily, but I'd be surprised if it can scale well in terms of capability. How many million QPS is "virtually unlimited scale"? The 10k row transaction limit and no FKs (or even views???) also just make this thing sound completely non-serious.

It’s a valid critique. In hindsight, this should have been caught earlier.
> The time people spend fighting the Rust compiler for a project, they could have just written secure C.. That is just my personal opinion.

Empirical evidence from the largest software firms in the world who do research on objective metrics on software defects show that there's no such thing as secure C and that Rust is slightly more productive.
Not the laptop RAM. It costs pennies, Apple's is just charging $200 for 12GB because they can. It's way too slow though..

The lifespan estimates in the first table don't seem very good. (It would be nice to see the article's sources, at least.) For a few examples: per Wikipedia, chickens typically only live to be between 5 and 10 years old (even if not slaughtered) and 16 is a world record (compare the table's 15); 30 would be a better estimate than 40 for horses; on the other hand giraffes might commonly live to be much older than 20 if protected from predators.

It clarifies a lot for those who know what it means, and for those who don't know, the remainder of the explanation proceeds without assuming they know what it means.
The further we get past the year 2000 the more clear it becomes that all the pre-2000 memes of 2000 being the future were right, and not much happened in the west in terms of quality of life or daily conveniences or productivity since 2000.

Yes, and inference is a huge market in itself and potentially larger than training (gut feeling haven’t run numbers)

Keep NVIDIA for training and Intel/AMD/Cerebras/… for interference.
They certainly are losing customers, but that also reduces costs on their side, which means lower overall revenue, but higher margins. Maybe they are trying to get rid of anyone who isn't so locked in that they cannot leave, consolidate everything around the biggest and most profitable accounts. Once you know how large that group is, you can squeeze them even further.
I was in highschool in the 2000's and learned C# working with the RunUO emulator for Ultima Online which MUDs were the predecessor for.

I always thought a programming class with assignments to add spells/new weapons/quests/etc on a shared class server would be great.
In C++ I have learned the patterns and so I rarely need to worry about lifetime - everything is either on the stack or a unique_ptr. Even when I need to take a pointer I know I don't own it but my project has clear lifetime rules and so I normally won't run into issues.

The above is not perfect. I do sometimes mess up, but it is rare, and that is C++ so I don't get tools/the language helping me.
