Google silicon TPUs have been used for training for at least 5 years, probably more (I think it's 10 years). They do not depend on nvidia gpus for the majority of their projects. Took TPUs a while to catch up on some details, like sparsity.
> Incompetence and malice are often nearly identical.

That is not the basis for our system of law. Intention (mens rea) matters greatly. Hence anyone who understands law shouldn't be surprised at comparing outcomes between the boeing case and the jones case.

You can disagree with it, but you really shouldn't be surprised.

> This is one of the main reasons that open source has never penetrated beyond engineers, IT people, and computer hobbyists.

This is also the reason there's so many multimillion dollar businesses that are essentially front end interfaces to open source projects. Hell, how many for ffmpeg alone?

> The other is that there's no funding system to pay people to do the not-fun parts of programming or to maintain the more user-facing aspects of projects.

I think there are plenty of people that make things looking nice. I do, but I hate web. Maybe this is why TUIs are taking off? But there definitely is a funding problem. My partner is doing a PhD in economics and whenever I talk to any of them about open source software, and how much of the world is dependent upon it, they get very confused and it's a lot of fun to see. I highly recommend (plus, I'd love to see the actually thinking about these kinds of frameworks. Clearly us devs haven't figured it out and it's worth asking for outside viewpoints)
Doing anything about the obesity epidemic has the same issue as 99% of our problems: People are getting rich off of selling cheap nasty food.

You think a politician is going to go after billion dollar industries? Get real.

It is a class issue, and an issue with the type of food that is "easy" to access for exhausted people with kids, long hours, etc...
I don't fully get the story. Was it Calanacis who ditched the Econ reporter? He is the one among the All-iners who voted Harris. See https://audioboom.com/posts/8589911-bonus-episode-with-jason...
Find the manager or replacement manager who bought it, who owns it inside the corp. If the internal cost owner left the company, the PO department might be emailing them for confirmation with no replies.

Send an email/letter to their legal department asking for help to resolve the matter, if they can call the PO department and resolve it, and say its been 6 months and they are in breach of contract. Be nice.

Wondering if this will spur innovators' handoff-based mesh networks (slow, low-bandwidth but very, very democratic).

When whitespace in television bands went unlicensed i don't know how much of that we saw: https://www.fcc.gov/general/white-space

I feel like the barrier may be whether dedicated hardware is required or not. In such a large band, 6 GHz, I would expect a lot of generalized (i.e. non-dedicated) platform hardware to be developed & offered allowing software-focused innovators to offer into the long tail of applications, including mesh network(s).
The acts of defamation were extreme, clear cut, repetitive and devoid of remorse. I for one like knowing that if someone ruins my reputation with cruel lies in such a malicious and relentless way that they may face extreme consequences.
>If you “sell” your money, say to buy a car, the government does not tax you on that transaction, claiming that you earned a “capital gain” on your money. So why should you be taxed on the capital gains if you used crypto to buy a car?

This is complete nonsense. You aren't taxed on buying something, you are taxed on realizing the gains you have achieved. If you traded some stocks to someone to buy their car, you would similarly be taxed on the portion of the sale price that was attributed to realized gains.
That's a good way to find that judges also have fairly hefty egos, and the ability to jail you for impacting it.
In Spain I guess it is because SMS have never been free (or similar). It took off well before wifi was widespread in homes and offices, IIRC.

Edit: it costs me around .10€ to send an SMS...
For almost any problem people care about enough to discuss on a forum like this, it's a fools errand to try to determine "which" way causality goes. It goes both ways. You can't isolate the cause. It's a feedback loop which is what makes it persistent and hard to solve and ergo worth discussing on a forum.

Sample size of 1. Don't discount the benefits of psychedelics. You must be willing to open yourself up to change and it's not an overnight thing. Takes time, many doses, many experiences, lots of introspection and meditation to wake up.
I don’t know what the real convention is, but IMO, BLAS GEMM “is” the O(n^3) algorithm (blocked is fine of course$ in the sense that something like Strassen has stability implications and isn’t appropriate for lots of sizes. Just swapping it in would be nuts, haha.

It doesn’t matter if some fat people are active, the fat is still hurting their bodies. How are their knees doing? How is the stress on their heart? Their arteries? When was the last time they could even stand with their arms hanging down straight at their sides instead of pushed out perpetually at an angle?

When you’re fat for a long time, you forget what it’s like to be light weight, you forget how easy everything feels. Being fat is like walking around with a two 25 pound dumbbells strapped to your body everywhere you go. My fatter friends complain when we go to a dense concert or festival and I can just turn sideways to slip easily through crowds, leaving them behind. Trivial things like this is what you forget when your body has become too large.
I wonder how many of the people back-patting the author and each other work for companies whose business models entail egregiously violating users' privacy or destroying the economic security of low-wage workers? How many work on exploitative AI projects--especially AI art--that rely on training data used without permission or compensation? Yet suddenly, when it comes to bettering the United States' and her allies' war-making capabilities, ethics become an issue?

Thank god during the Cold War we had real tech companies, like Digital and HP, staffed by real engineers whose heads were screwed on straight and whose values weren't perverted.
Solid advice, and one of the many unfruitful avenues we've already followed. Thanks for reading!
Mostly yes, though people did get fatter.
None of this is surprising - anyone who was on tumblr and saw the absolute meltdown he had (Automattic now owns Tumblr, for those who lost track), and his continuous weird scorch-earth attacks on the queer community where he kept making up lies and justifications for decisions that made little sense, would have known he was in the early stages of a seemingly complete mental breakdown.

He personally digitally stalked and targeted online users, followed them from site to site, publishing and using user details that weren't public, and personally started attacking and practically doxxing those that couldn't take or understand his weird (unintelligible) stances. He would even argue with random users by PM'ing directly.

Which gets even stranger that he doesn't know to stay quiet, considering Automattic had to pay out to the New York City Commission on Human Rights, for constructing teams and moderation policies that unfairly targetted LGBTQ+ individuals^2. They kept the policies after acquisition, made them worse, and ended up paying out for it - just for them to end up going back to what they were doing.

---

To 404Media: There is an incredible article waiting to be written that has your name all over it. It was a huuuge thing that Automattic tried to cover up and keep from breaking containment. Just start with "the car full of hammers" comment that led to the blow-up (after a lot of targeted build-up).

He self-destructed and went absolutely mental, it was weird and strange. This was last year.

Edit: knowyourmeme^2 has a little bit of history, but it goes much deeper. It's a great story that Vice would have covered in extremely poignant details years ago, ready for the taking.

Bitcoin has interacting forces that work in opposite directions. The increase in value makes it provide income as capital gains, but reduces its ability to be a currency. Reduced ability as a currency inhibits its value, reducing it's ability to provide income as capital gains.

It's hard to assess what this would mean over time when you already know the history of the price biasing your viewpoint. Especially when you have to modulate that value by the effects of media coverage and public opinion contributing to a boom/bust cycle. I could see how it could be consistent with the price history with stepped increases in value as its long term potential as a currency is reassessed as being more likely, each step triggers an oscillation as the opposing forces react to the change in value and change in stability respectively. I think spread latency (not everyone reacts to the forces at the same rate) would have a dampening effect causing things to flatten out over time. Worst case scenario would be if the competing forces cause an ever increasing oscillation.

I think that should mean that the end state for Bitcoin should be relatively stable, but at a value that we just don't yet know $0, $100, $1,000,000 could all happen.

If it turns out to be $1,000,000, I'm completely ok with people paying tax on the increase in value if they bought at $10. On the other hand if the price remains stable around there, then people who used it as a currency would not generate much taxation income, but cause a considerable amount of paperwork to keep track of everything. Perhaps in that instance A percentage capital gain threshold would be in order. Perhaps something like, if the gain over a period is more than inflation_rate*1.1 capital gains tax kicks in.
I think that’s more of a question of semantics than colour theory, but maybe? Is pink just light red? Feels like the answer should be no, and that undermines my basic premise above, so I find myself doing mental gymnastics trying to answer your question, which more often than not is a sure fire way to tell that I’m wrong.
No malice taken, I do struggle with empathy, yes. To me a lot of people seem to just make unforced errors.

There's like, someone who stands on a landmine and can't go to work, or someone who has a chronic condition that makes them feel nauseous all the time, etc.

That doesn't explain 40% of a country being obese whilst the other 60% isn't, though.
>Who would have ever thought that pushing a cold-war coalition eastwards towards an ex-superpower, including shoving it in its very borders, which it has long declared a "red line", would ever cause an invasion?

This is weird thing with anyone saying "NATO FAULT NATO FAULT", NATO explicitly DIDN'T want the eastern European countries to join, it was the eastern Europeans who begged and begged to be let in, including Ukraine and the west rejected them.

And even IF this was the case somehow that NATO pushed themselves into these countries:

1. Why did Russia give the thumbs up for these countries to join?

2. Why did Russia try and attempt to join NATO at one point

All of this by the way happened with Putin in charge, so unless we all believe in the dead-putin theory something doesn't add up here with the framing of "NATO FAULT".

>It's not like everybody from real-politic scholars to the most experienced of foreign affairs like Kissinger explicitly said it was a bad idea, and that this will be the result!

So you're saying that real-politik experts believe if Ukraine had joined back in say 2008 they today would've been invaded by Russia? Since it's in 2022 not 2008 they got full-blown invasion after having having been trying to be neutral and DESPITE that Russia still kept meddling in their affairs as if it was Belarus, leading up to 2014 crisis.

I would love to know how exactly Russia would be able to pull that off against the full NATO military force.

Surely, most of the usage is from non-native English speakers.

Auxiliary verbs (like "does") are not required to form questions in Russian, Spanish, Chinese, and probably many other languages.
Consciously or unconsciously, people begin with an unshakable feeling of “my tribe good,” then reverse engineer a justification for whatever issue is being politicized. Even if it involves defending a repugnant conman and slanderer like Jones.

It just goes to show that far too many people have no fundamental values, only political affiliations.
The Android on chip AI is and has been leagues better than what is available on iOS.

They could do an open run-off round of bids until they have two potential buyers, and then switch to secret ballot to get each party's highest bid I suppose?

> So how can we “carefully consider potential impacts”? Honestly, I don’t have any answers to this. I don’t think that there really is a universal answer yet, because if we had it I have to believe we’d not be building these dangerous pieces of software.

So, there is no general answer to the problem, but you can always approximate it by asking: are you working for the US defense/intelligence industry or one of its contractors? If so, you are almost certainly building something harmful.
> I have told plenty of friends and family that they are fat gross slobs and need to lose weight, and that is the cause of many of their non-specific maladies that doctors can't seem to pinpoint. Sometimes you need to sit someone down and level with them, I'm not going to pretend.

Key question: are they cured now after you were a jerk? What was the ROI on relationship damage per pound lost?
Do G-Rated Films Even Make Sense Anymore?

Yes. Plenty of people want to have films that are family friendly, child friendly. The kids get plenty of trauma in school, some city neighborhoods and online. Movies are for an escape from those hellholes.

Movie screenwriters just need to step up their game and get as good as their predecessors. Example: Bewitched, a 60's sitcom murdered a couple miscreants in an episode but only the adults really knew what happened. They did not need blood, guts and gore to get the point across.

Another example? Take the time to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a late 60's movie but this time with a critical eye, especially around and within Castle Vulgaria. There is a lot going on in there that would not be allowed in movies today but it's just subtle enough to not break any rules as you would have to be a detective to get the gist. That was good screen writing.

In summary, while the rating system is gamed the real problem is the lack of good screen writers and proper enforcement of the existing rating system. Movies are just being churned out as fast as they can be made and the artistic aspects of movie production are dying out and people are being bribed to look the other way.
Easy. European Countries are so small, esp compared to America, and there is a ton of movement between them so need to communicate between countries was high. However, SMS between different country cell networks was extremely expensive for various reasons. However, data and data roaming was not. Since WhatApp is entirely data to cellular company, it caught on and network effect took over.
Just because I was able to ultimately understand what it meant doesn't mean that it required more effort to parse.

I consider streaming 720p to be DVD quality at best. (And no, i'm not basing that on bitrate. I know modern compression is much better.)

I have what feels like a continuously self correcting mechanism running in my brain. Like yeah, I might have a week or two or something of lounging, just punching the clock, but then every now and then I'll assess my goals and how they are going.

The question I suppose is whether having a goal driven mindset is down to free will or not. If a large number of people are doomed to not have that I think that's really sad.

I wonder if we'll ever get to a place where we hold food companies accountable for addictive, unheathy food being advertised and sold the way we hold tobacco companies accountable?

I know there is a personal responsibility involved in both, but the situation seems similar.
I get similar results here. The Banana Pi BPI-F3 was a big disappointment. I was expecting some improvement over the VisionFive 2, but no dice. A big Linux build at -j8 on the BPI-F3 takes essentially the same time as a -j4 build on the VF2.

Apparently the small level 2 caches on the X60 are crippling.

The P550 actually feels "snappy".
A fossil fuel fire can be extinguished by snuffing it. By a fire extinguisher if it's caught small enough, or by a fire department with sufficient quantities of water.

Lithium Ion battery fires are self sustaining. Like with thermite, they produce their own oxidizer - they can't be snuffed. You might be able to flood one and cool it to the point where it self extinguishes (creating a flood of heavy metal contaminated water), use special equipment to drown it, or just let it burn itself out (spewing toxic gasses and at least three times the heat of petroleum fires) but once they are going, they are far more of a disaster than other kinds of common fires.

And even if put out they can re-ignite later forcing salvage yards to keep them physically isolated; causing all kinds of follow on problems that don't exist with traditional vehicles or other battery tech.

As others noted, this study did NOT explore these follow on effects, which is unfortunate. Perhaps they really aren't as bad as they appear - it would be nice to see them studied as well.
Came here to say this is great and already did 2 books. My son loved it.
Tesla hasn't even launched a pilot program. Cruise has actual commercial road hours logged and Waymo has a fully operational commercial service that keeps expanding. Tesla has a LOT of catching up to do. Cities won't just let them launch a service on a whim. It's going to take years to catch up.
> Nicotine by itself isn't too different from caffeine

Yes it is

You should actually look up the literature. Chronic use is actually harmful in a lot of the same ways that tobacco smoking is. Obviously it's a huge improvement over tobacco use, but it's also a huge downgrade from abstinence as a whole.
Thanks for helping me not waste my time
> 25 milliwatts, typical legal max for wifi

AFAIK wifi can use more power than that, at least in the US: 100mW, possibly 200mW, not sure what the hard limit is (or how much that must be spread).
It must be a JSON object with an error field.

What you showed is exactly that. Does the spec say the field must be a string?
Honestly not where I expected the article to go, but grateful for it. While I do kinda miss the old, glamorous packaging and pack-ins of yore, the modern media server-focused me appreciates modern releases that are thin on extras as they're easier to rip.

I kind of think that if media ownership remained a priority, and the focus was on an improved home experience instead of increasing consumption via streaming, things would've turned out broadly better. Then again, I look at series that never would've had a chance in the old media environment (Invincible, The Boys, Hasbin Hotel, The Amazing Digital Circus, etc), and I'm reminded that nostalgia for the past is a powerful reality warp.

All that being said, ultimately the strongest voice inside of me is that of the librarian: "Thank f*k all this media uses the same dimensions for a change. All those fancy-pants novelty boxes were a real pain to keep organized and pristine."
Aside from funny pictures, I rough out concepts for personal projects while commuting or on off time, mostly. It's pretty decent at rough calculations now, but even if you don't trust that, if you have a project in mind and you describe what you want to do, it can tell you what formulas and background knowledge you will need to flesh it out and you have the names that you can look up for further details. Really cuts down on research time and it's better time spent than scrolling memes.

Had an idea to add tracking to my alt-az telescope, asked Meta AI what I need to understand and it explains right ascension and declination and even provides the coordinate transformations needed (and even in a language that I specify). I can audit the code and have it write some unit tests that I also check, flesh it out a bit and I'm done.

That kind of thing.
I worked significantly in both Django and Rails, and I found the most magical part of rails is its ORM (ActiveRecord). I find both SQLAlchemy and DjangoORM both more awkward and less natural to use, both for the query side and the relationship definition side.

Once the data is loaded into memory, everything else is just syntax.

At this point, I only reach for python as a web application if I need to build something that has AI / ML features. Rails apps I've built in the past that needed to call a local model resulted in having to create a python inference microservice, which kinda sucks.
I have updated the site with a references section. Here you will find some links to recent studies on native ternary semiconductors.
You can use bots or you can bid your true maximum and receive the best price available below it. You can't snipe a true higher still sealed bid not matter how good your bot is. If all the sniping bidder are above the sealed bidders then the auction still functions to discover higher prices just not as efficiently.

> this format and you'd have zero activity until the millisecond before bids were due followed by a mountain of lawsuits.

Sure but no one does, the eBay model is a compromise to make the bidding structure more familiar to people who don't understand the second price mechanism. Major auctions don't need to make that accommodation, the audience can be relied on to read and think about the auction structure which is unfortunately not an option you can really take for a mass market tool.
