My understanding is that the Trillium TPU was primarily targeted at inference (so it’s surprising to see it was used to train Gemini 2.0) but other generations of TPUs have targeted training. For example the chip prior to this one is called TPU v5p and was targeted toward training.

> Is that what they mean by "agentic era"? Cause that's what it sounds like to me.

What are you basing your opinion on? I have no idea how well these LLM agents will perform but its definitely a thing. OpenAI is working on them , Claude and certainly Google.
Nice - I can see some cool agentic flows created using this. A thing I want to look into is creating a sandbox instance (Ubuntu?) and letting an agent do its thing. Could be collecting data or answering questions and I can pull up the window to check in from time to time. It'll be like having an assistant.
I don't think you're really acting intentionally: it's more likely that you agree with your autopilot. My reason for saying that is that there are a lot of medications with behavorial side effects (weight gain, increased risk taking) that would change those parameters for just about anyone. If you were constantly hungry, you would eat, it's as simple as that.
Dioxus raised venture capital, so I'd be careful before betting my future on them.

Do they require copyright assignment or a CLA? I could not find anything on their GitHub.

How many of their contributors are payed?

Looking forward to this as I use Flutter personally but sometimes I write code for it via its FFI package flutter_rust_bridge, but it'd be nice to use Rust directly everywhere. I am also interested in the usage of the GPU as Flutter does because that way you get a consistent experience on the web as well as mobile and desktop. Flutter recently removed their HTML renderer because it was hard to keep both renderers in sync, but I don't believe Dioxus will do that as they started off HTML-first rather than mobile-first like Flutter.
most people just don't use ... place a huge maximum bid and will only pay the second highest bid plus an increment

The reason people don't do this on eBay is because sellers can have a friend bid on the item to raise the second-place bid more than you're willing to pay (shill bidding). The Nash equilibrium for second price auctions is to only bid the maximum you're willing to pay. Bidding a higher amount leaves you vulnerable to these shill bidding tactics.
I hope I don’t come off as offensive asking this, but is there really that much of a difference? I’m not a fan of services which prey on peoples loneliness, but isn’t the defining feature or these para-social relationship platforms that they are all make-belief? Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s very hard for me to imagine that you could form any sort of relationship with the thousands of lonely people who pay you money to notice them. Hell, they must have some impressive note taking strategies to remember it all. An AI might end up being more engaging and personal.
Neither Tauri nor Dioxus is trying to be flutter. The only similarity is that those projects exists in GUI space.

Tauri is an electron alternative. It handles windows creation, rendering of web pages as well as IPC between frontend and backend.

Dioxus is a frontend framework similar to Next.js and other react-based frameworks.

Flutter uses an entirely different approach to GUI.

> somehow IQ is spared the same beating

I think this is the part you're getting wrong, which is why you're confused.

IQ was contentious from its introduction in the beginning of the 20th century, caught some traction in the mid-century, and has mostly been on a decline of esteem and respect again since. It's never been very broadly accepted, let alone spared from criticism, nor have most other psychometrics, although (as always) there are bubbles of academia, industry, and the general population that swear by them and work to legitimize them.

Kurt Danziger has published really great histories of all this.

I'll add that his books are especially interesting in the context of all the AI buzz as insight into the history of "intelligence" (the word, the socially constructed concept, etc) helps wrap one's head around what it means when people working in CS try to repurpose its terminology in their own field.
I have real world experience with a lot of different auction designs being deployed, including many variations of the VCG auction.

The VCG auction is only good in theory. In practice, most people don't know how much they actually value a thing, and when they are trying to play the VCG game they typically underbid and later have deep remorse. That's the most common mistake, but I've seen plenty of other mistakes as well.

In other words, VCG auctions tend not to work well because the bidders often don't have a strong enough grasp over game theory nor a deep enough understanding of how valuable an asset is to them, and therefore the VCG usually generates suboptimal outcomes.

In my experience, the auction that seems to work the best is the Ebay auction, where you get immediate feedback if you underbid, but you aren't allowed to see how high the other person is willing to go. Instead, you have to talk yourself into taking a risk on being left holding the bag if you choose to push the price up.
No, it's not.

Undefined behaviour is undefined behaviour whatever optimisation level you use.

Some -f flags may extend the C standard and remove undefined behaviour in some cases (e.g. strict aliasing, signed integer overflow, writable string constants, etc.)
Streaming services are generally still more cost-effective, but the multiple subscriptions and different interfaces are an annoyance, as are differences between services in how easily you can circumvent regional restrictions. Physical media are more straightforward and consistent.

Furthermore, once you own a disc you can use it “forever”, whereas with streaming services you don’t know what will or won’t be available in a few years. Many movies and series that are available on physical media are not available on streaming, though for newer productions that also goes in the other direction.

Makes me think about dopamine, seriously.

Many of the comments here on hacker News are talking about how like difficult it is to find a linked download to get the video so that you can watch the video so that you can go lull and share meme videos about cats playing pianos and what not. Dopamine junkies talk like this.

So perhaps there's a need for a dopamine specialist, or a dopamine hit specialty in software development and product management?

Certainly marketing exists but marketing has become such a fuzzy wuzzy taboo subject and I think you know we'd like to just inject it all straight into our veins ..

.. so how about making a role in open source projects called the Dopamine Optimizer?

That way we could celebrate the intention, making a delicious physically resonant software tool? Functionality is a joy, for sure, there's an intellectual Joy to programming, yes, but social acceptance and the delight that comes from having our brain glands squirt out dopamine is an underappreciated aspect of I think the work that a lot of us may do.

My initial reaction is that yes, you do seem to be living in a very strange bubble. And, I say this out of curiousity rather than malice, I wonder whether you struggle with empathy?

There are any number of reasons why people can't consciously prioritise those things. Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs comes to mind.

https://slsa.dev/get-started explains about verifiable build provenance attestations:

> SLSA 2

> To achieve SLSA 2, the goals are to:

> - Run your build on a hosted platform that generates and signs provenance

> - Publish the provenance to allow downstream users to verify

> [...]

> SLSA 3

> To achieve SLSA 3, you must:

> - Run your build on a hosted platform that generates and signs provenance

> - Ensure that build runs cannot influence each other

> - Produce signed provenance that can be verified as authentic

And:

> For now, the convention is to keep the provenance attestation with your artifact. Though Sigstore is becoming more and more popular, the format of the provenance is currently tool-specific.

I don't think the solution is to move your body less.

Having multiple desks and desk heights and possibly multiple keyboards is probably what is needed. Not to mention stretching and strengthening.

I use Messenger constantly and hate Meta AI when it tries to push itself on me thru Messenger.

For AI and search (50% use it for queries I'd otherwise previously used Google for) I use GPT... that is my AI / AI I use.

I do use Meta AI yet only through my Meta Ray Bans which are handy.
How long until the most popular Only Fans creators are fully AI?

I could see these pseudorelations, which are already mediated by so much fakery, just continue to evolve in that direction?

Maybe everyone gets their own OnlyFan creators which are tailored/adapt to their personal desires?

In the future all of this is AI generated, multimedia, tailored to your wants, available and fresh 24/7.
I thought that would be considered intersex as there are some anatomical structures that do not rely on the testosterone to develop minimally, such as udecended (non/minimally functioning) testicles in an XY individual who has external femal genitalia.
I wonder if the T-Mobile spike [0] is actually T-Mobile depending on Meta for something relatively minor (say, a widget on their website), or if it's users not knowing the difference between their carrier and an app when the app doesn't load.

I've never understood how generating dozens of variables containing the same color with a change in the value of one of the channels helps.

Can't you just write everything you need in simple CSS?

It would be better, really come up with a template in which you enter 2 colors, and it gives a unique full-color design for the site. CSS has all the possibilities for this! But most web-masters use CSS variables only to store the results of each iteration of cycles.
Surely the motivation for paying for this pornography is precisely the somehow more "human" "closeness" of a known individual creating content on a direct, "personal" basis.

It's not quite the-Queen-is-my-friend levels of parasocial but it does seem to be about intimacy.

What happens to that business model if customers paying on that basis realise they are seeing & talking to a bot? Seems quite footshooty.
Well yes. I work on tech in companies which are slowed down because their IT departments can’t keep up with the rest of the business.
> They just sort of wake up and do whatever on autopilot and go to sleep and whatever happens to them happens. What's that all about?

I absolutely agree, and commend your focus on understanding over condemnation. Despite all the justifiably condescending responses to your post, you have the right attitude towards truth.

My simple answer is that humans do not possess truly persistent (much less consistent!) consciousness, and that the concepts of "vice" and "virtue" are nothing more than imperfect social tools. Of course we can't abandon them altogether, but the questions "Where does gluttony end and eating disorders begin?" and "Where does laziness end and ADHD begin?" are in the midst of reshaping some very fundamental assumptions in our society, IMHO. The related question "Where does self-pity/envy end and Major Depressive Disorder begin?" has seen huge changes over the past 1-2 decades (in some nations), and I believe the former two will follow a similar trajectory.

In other words/TLDR: it's objectively challenging to balance competing priorities, where I mean "objectively" in an empirical, population-observation, sociological sense. Very few people have, like, an intellectual argument for not working out/eating right.

As a somewhat tangential point, I'd say your three tracks aren't the only reasonable way one could organize their life (again, assuming you have the capability to even get to that point). For example, I spend a lot of time worrying about politics, society, and my impact therein; otherwise, many people spend most of their time worrying about providing for/guiding/safeguarding their family, and a lot of young people (my past self included!) spend most of their day thinking about the social track in a much more anxious, peer-esteem-related way than you seem to.

None of these are necessarily better or worse than others, but I think it reminds of an important truth: philosophy is not solved. If you feel confident that it has, I encourage you to think back on previous times in your life where you felt the same, only for your whole outlook to change in the intervening years ;)
Seeing the same here, unable to open the website or to send messages in the mobile app - UK.
The thought experiment here was "what if you treat the GPU like an embedded target, instead of using cuda style languages to program it". Works great.

I especially like this on APUs - my laptop from 2020 and a MI300A from today run it happily. Write to files, hack on data structures shared with x64, all is good. Quite a lot of libc++ works now too.

Noone seems very excited about this so far but Joseph and I are thrilled that it works. It's also to AMD's credit that they've let us run with this despite no direct commercial motivation. We did find a bunch of compiler bugs standing it up.

I very carefully did not attribute election results solely to that cause :)

Russian funding and mass media covert ops are likely more to blame[1][2]

At the same time, I do think that there's room to explain why vast swathes of the US has a very "I've got mine, fuck you" attitude. This also seems to be somewhat recent, because "Universal right to food" was one of the things proposed in, I want to say the 40s-50s? as one of the basic fundamental rights. Which, outright couldn't happen now with the current state of American Politics.

[2]: idk there's a laundry list of news outlets confirming both of these points, if someone wants to argue about it then it's likely we'll never agree in the first place, as the evidence has been widely available for almost a decade now and is very clear in terms of evidence of Russian influence in voter manipulation, general public opinion manipulation, and outright paying off politicians and working to inflate the puritanical right wing.
That is how Hollywood does movies. Other film traditions will more accurately adapt the source material. For example, many animes are a shot-for-shot recreation of manga.
We need to wake up to the reality that solving the obesity crisis (if it is actually something we want to solve—enough healthy people may be happy with paying double for healthcare) may require measures perceived by modern liberals as authoritarian or cruel.

I think this because measures like what we did with tobacco—-public health demonization of junk foods and junk food consumption, banning advertisement of junk food, warning labels on junk food, and high excise taxes on junk food—are unlikely to ever be accepted by the healthy population that has no problem restricting its junk food intake to stay below BMI 30 (60+% of the population). They won’t want to pay double for chips just because obese people can’t stop themselves from eating two bags instead of one.

The only alternative is to charge the obese population on the back end—when they pay for healthcare. Obese people would be made to pay a health insurance surcharge to compensate for the additional healthcare resources they consume. This measure will be decried as “insensitive” and “cruel.”

Alternatively we could do both.

By the way—ozempic et al are unlikely to solve the crisis as some hope. Studies show average long term, sustained weight loss of 10-20 pounds. Good, but not enough to help people who are hundreds of pounds overweight—a sizable portion of the obese population that costs the healthcare system so much.
If you want to prohibit hosting then yes you're going to need a non-OSS license (by definition), but that's moving the goalposts: I was replying to a post that said others should be allowed to sell the software as a service, but that they should be forced to share their changes even if they're "hosting" and not "distributing"... AKA the exact point of the AGPL existing.

Funny you mention templating, its one key thing I'd change about Django, that... and maybe scaffolding, I'd crank it up drastically more.

My ideal enhancement to Django would be something like how Microsoft made Razor into Blazor... A template engine that can run purely on the back-end or purely on the front-end, replacing any need to ever use JavaScript, you stick to your native programming tongue if you will.
Worth noting that - mostly - punters weren't having real interactions with the models anyway. As the article points out, they'd previously reported (and I think HN had linked to the story) that a large number of models had been outsourcing their DM interactions to a rotating cadre of gig-workers already. And as the gig workers wouldn't be able to keep track of the full chat history between each punter and "the model", the conversations could sometimes feel off, or have long-term inconsistencies.

I guess LLM hallucinations will just give a slightly different flavour of unreal interactions.
The problem is that there is no behavioral solution that ever has been empirically proven to work across a broad population, over a long term.

And while "just eat less" has an intuitive appeal as a treatment strategy, alas, it's been shown again and again to be a dead end in practice, much as "just don't spend money" or "just do less heroin" don't seem be effective treatments for poverty or addiction. It is sometimes difficult to get over the bias that what seems intuitively effective in theory is not actually so in practice. But, as we're evidence-driven people, we need to look elsewhere.

Surgical interventions, and GLP-1 receptor antagonists work, but they are expensive and there is limited access to them at present.

So, as of today while I agree that it is a condition to be treated, there are no effective treatment options for a population, which is the scope of what this article is talking about. Thus the situation we're in.
This article is focused on mainstream cinema and I tend to agree with it; I miss the days when major studios were releasing DVDs packed with extras. Simultaneously, we're in the middle of a major boutique Blu-ray boom. I am not intimately familiar with the economics of this, but it's demonstrably true that it's possible to license and produce high quality Blu-rays with a lot of interesting extras in batches of 2-3K and make a living at it.

We're probably all familiar with the Criterion Collection, which has been around for decades. Fewer of us have heard of Vinegar Syndrome, which has a highly successful business producing Blu-rays of mostly B movies and exploitation flicks. Arrow, based in the UK, has been releasing cult movies for a couple of decades and we're at the point where people who worked for Arrow are going and starting their own boutique companies (Radiance Films, for example, who produce 3-4 discs a month, mostly non-English genre movies). There are easily a dozen more companies like this out there.

I think the model requires appealing to a collector mindset. The boutique Blu-ray subreddit often hosts fervent arguments between people who don't break the shrink wrap and people who care about the movies. Several of the boutique companies have subscriptions: for a thousand bucks you can get one copy of everything they produce in the year. Often a new release will be available in special packaging for a limited run, with no difference in the content: those sell like hotcakes.

I don't know if it's practical to run this model for major studios. For one thing, it's a tiny market as these things go -- does Sony really want to make the effort to pump out cool material for a couple of thousand sales? They'd be doing it for prestige and marketing reasons, not financial rewards. There might be a niche for boutique companies to do an ongoing deal with a major studio for this kind of release, though.
