>and since we don't really have an equivalent event in American federal government (the lengthy process to elect a Speaker of the House last year was probably the closest we've come),

No. The closest is when the federal government shuts down because of the debt limit, which has happened multiple times. It's also arguably more impactful compared to a government "collapsing" (ie. new elections called).
Specifically for kitchen items, America's Test Kitchen is hard to beat.
Interesting no one considers the environmental impact. This creates tonnes of e-waste with a shortened useful life.

We should demand that it's unlockable after a certain time.
Since we periodically elect such parties and people, apparently we get what we deserve. Shitty governments, consisting of people, who care more about their own deep pockets, rather than improving the status quo. Every 4 years we have men in black walking around blitzdingsing everyone apparently, to forget how bad the government before the current one was and then we reelect those. Now "new" to the mix we have AfD and BSW, which are so far removed from reality, that I don't even know how to describe them any longer.

Of course part of this is by design, letting the education sector drift into becoming utter crap. Wouldn't want a populace capable of thinking for themselves, now would we? And as such maybe we do deserve better, but are somehow incapable of voting ourselves out of the bad situation we are in. Doesn't help at all, that there is a growing aging polulation, that is basically not actually capable of living democracy and simply always and forever votes for corrupt gangs, oops, I mean parties.

I expect from a person valuing and living in a democracy, to actually inform themselves before voting, instead of letting calcified brain cells vote. Maybe I am asking too much here, but all it takes is 2-4h once every couple of years, and not only thinking of oneself, actually being a member of society and understanding oneself as such.
Newtonian notation is just doing time derivatives with a dot above them, so in Latex that is just \dot{x} = v . Which means dx/dt = v, or \ddot{x} = a.

Did you mean "Leibniz's" notation[1]? If so, if you use the esdiff package[2] it's just \diffp{y}{x} for partials or \diff{x}{y} for regular derivatives.

Lagrange's notation is when people do x' = v or x'' = a and Like the Newton's notation you kinda have to know from context that you are differentiating with respect to time unless they write it properly as a function with arguments which people often tend not to (at least I often tend not to I guess).

Sometimes people call the partial derivative notation where you use subscripts "Lagrange's notation" also[3]. So like f_x(x,y) = blah is the partial derivative of f with respect to x.

Why do people pretend that Russia is capable of even threatening the EU? They can't even subdue the backwater that is Ukraine. Even if Putin takes all of it, he will need decades to make Russia capable of striking meaningfully into Europe. And we can outproduce him 10 to 1 for every piece of military hardware, and we have enough fighting age immigrants pouring into Europe in the last decades that we can mobilize and throw into the meatgrinder before having to tap our own population. I am convinced that this is one of the reasons we have so lax borders in Europe - to have cannon fodder for WWIII
Wow thats specific, cool example :)
How is that remotely contradictory?
Unless they would like to experience a reverse Anschluss with Russia, yes.

you don't. You let people die in a manner according to their own means without blowing through several hundred thousand of public funds on their way out.

If given the choice of 100k EoL care, or 100k for their grandchildren, most people would choose the latter. Add a layer between and it becomes a prisoners dilemma problem. If you forgo treatment, your children still get billed 99.9k instead of 100k.
Denmark didn't complain about cheap electricity, they complained that Sweden limited electricity export at times when the demand outstripped supply domestically. By creating 'energy zones', Sweden was able to decrease demand for electricity in parts of Sweden instead of cutting exports.

The national electricity transmission network in Sweden is still a public utility so the cause for the imbalances in the Swedish electrical grid is not due to privatizations but rather political decisions such as not investing sufficiently in transmission capacity, shutting down nuclear power plants and making it difficult to get approval for wind energy etc.

I think the proper way to say would be "it shouldn't sound much more tragic than it already is".

What's there in the meantime before the elections? Would they appoint some kind of interim ministers? Which of course would not do anything at all to stir whatever policy currently there is, because they are not supposed to have any initiative. Also, "what if AfD wins?".

I notice that the CUDA example uses C++. I had not planned to publish my own work in this area yet (as I am still working on it), but if anyone wants fast llama inference using CUDA in C, here are some files:

https://bpa.st/CA6A

https://bpa.st/WOSA

It is a fork of:

https://github.com/jameswdelancey/llama3.c

I am compiling and running it this way:

nvcc -ptx -arch=sm_86 rung.cu -o rung.ptx

gcc -I/opt/cuda/targets/x86_64-linux/include -L/opt/cuda/lib64 -O3 -g -lcuda -lcublas -lcudart -lm -lmvec -o rung rung.c

./rung "llama3_8b_base.bin" -z "tokenizer.bin" -t 0 -i "Once upon a time"

I am getting around 48 to 49 tokens per second with bf16 on my 3090 Ti from this. Oddly, llama.cpp only gets around 1 token per second with bf16, but it gets around 51 to 52 tokens per second with fp16. I suspect the performance gap would close if I use CUDA graphs.

The code is ugly in comparison to the original and I am not finished optimizing it, which is why I have not yet pushed it to a GitHub branch. I still have a few ways to reduce the amount of communication between the GPU and CPU per token, before using CUDA graphs. In particular, using the batched API for computing K and V, prefilling an array of pointers for the batched API across all layer iterations (such that all CPU to GPU pointer copies for the batched API are aggregated) and a few opportunities for kernel fusion, especially in rmsnorm after I figure out how to calculate the sum of squares quickly without cublas. I also have yet to try using Nvidia’s profiler.

Technically, CUDA C is really extended C++, but I am using a C-like subset of C++ for the device code. For the host code, I have written it in ANSI C. There are a few artifacts (the __host__ and __device__ keywords) from an earlier version where I had tried using CUDA C before I realized it was really extended C++ and not extended C, but those are trivial to remove (and will be removed before I push it to a branch). It should be possible to compile the device code with Clang instead of Nvidia’s compiler to use a fully open source toolchain, although I have yet to try it.

I have another fork here that uses the MKL to make the prompt processing portion run faster:

https://github.com/ryao/llama3.c

When I am happy with the CUDA version, I will either push it to a branch or to its own set of files in master.
Missed this thread, apologies. I would take "nearly impossible" to be akin to "very expensive." Which is not to say that any of the difficulties just flat go away. But you don't necessarily need long range communication.

I now realize the other thread is taking my point to be that this is trivially doable. That was also not my intent. My point was simply that "reducing to first principals" is a bit silly if you are going to maintain the requirement that you have a big enough vehicle to sustain a crew. Even a minimal crew imposes some massive design constraints that you don't necessarily have if you reduce the problem down. (In general, oddly, I meant my comment mostly as a criticism of "first principals" thinking on this. Too many of those analyses bring in base assumptions that are often invisible to the people arm chairing it.)

If I had a dollar every time someone on the Internet announced Google's demise I would be very happy.

Also, to think that AI-enabled search will deliver us from ads is naive. SEO firms talk and pitch about AI constantly, either to push brands inside chat responses, or, yes, to taint public datasets with pointless articles whose only purpose is to do product placement.

I very much doubt Google is about to go down; but if it does go down, we will miss it.
It's not about safety but battery life. I don't think bombarding non-technical users with all kinds of tradeoffs is the best option, but this seems to be a niche app case. Maybe an attribute could work, but it's difficult to say if that guarantees anything. Phones can overheat too...
I think (some correct me) you can group most devices into the following categories:

1. Device requires internet for setup, and for usage

2. Device requires internet for setup, but after that don't need it anymore

3. Device can be fully setup without internet, and used without internet

Personally I aim to be fully within 3 as much as I can, but some devices are really hard to find at a good price point that falls into 3. All my HA devices are within 3, except some real-time cameras which I couldn't find below ~300 EUR if I wanted them in 3, so those are within group 2 and now isolated after the setup.

That seems like a very different case since it imposed different rules depending on the content of the speech. The analogous situation to the tiktok ban would be shutting down the postal service, which would be surprising but presumably constitutional.

> Web technology and JavaScript became the dumpster slut of software ecosystems.

I think an additional problem with the JavaScript ecosystem specifically is external resources are extremely easy to access and their cost is usually borne by end user resources. Therefore they're too tempting for many developers to avoid. Unfortunately the runtime environment of the end user rarely matches that of the developers and seemingly "cheap" resource access at development/test time isn't cheap for the end user.

JavaScript is happy to pull in some library hosted on some third party service at runtime. For the developer/tester this ends up cached by the browser and/or at the edge of the CDN. A developer may also have topologically close CDN endpoints. This inspires them to pull willy nilly from third party libraries because to them they're cheap to access and they save time writing some utility function.

The same goes for CSS, APIs, or media resources. With JavaScript the delivery is a client issue and costs can be pushed entirely onto the client. If pulling in an external resource(s) costs a developer non-trivial money to store and serve they'll put more effort into tree shaking or other delivery optimizations. They may omit it entirely.

I think this massively contributes to the LEGO piece construction of a lot of web apps. It also contributes to performance robbing things like tag managers that insert a bunch of incongruent plug-ins only at runtime from an unbounded number of sources.

You just described word-for-word "Industrie 4.0" - Germany's attempt at this back in 2014 [0]

It did not take off.

And this is the issue - these are all buzzwords, but there are more systemic issues in Germany caused by it's conglomeratization. It's always the same handful of conglomerates (Siemens, VW, Bosch, etc) lobbying for industrial policy.

@dang feel free to update to this, I generated it myself.
Did you try any of your queries using Perplexity Pro? (even at the free tier they give you a few 'Pro' queries a day) While it's still far from perfect, the Pro answers are generally higher quality than the free ones.

I'm finding several of the LLM's that can cite sources, including Perplexity, are more useful to me than Google for search these days. The notable exception is Gemini which has been quite bad in my experience compared to the other options.
I wish they’d just make a normal remote though. They at least got rid of that “glass plate” version for one with more actual buttons but even the new one is still sometimes frustrating to use. I mean yeah it’s our daily driver and we’ve adapted to it but still. Just make a normal remote, Apple.

And while I’m at it, make the remote truly genuinely support the same level of “find my device” that something like an air tag has. It needs to beep. And it needs that “hot or cold” positional thing to nail it dead on like it does an air tag.

And I guess if I’m going to complain I might as well also bitch about how the YouTube app doesn’t support 4k UHD or whatever the top end video format is. The TV’s YouTube all supports it just fine. But apparently Apple and Google would rather get into a pissing match about video codec support than just work.

That all being said my Sony TV’s smart tv stuff isn’t some ad-laden hellscape at all. It’s responsive and fast and gets me where I’m going. Honestly don’t even need the AppleTV. I hear these horror stories about other people’s smarttv’s here and I can’t relate at all. At least on our living room TV. The bedroom Vizio on the other hand… it’s not ad-ridden but it is way underpowered and we only interact with the appletv on it.

I think your SmartTV experience will vary wildly depending on the manufacturer and brand.
It is important for context that the above poster seems to be of the opinion that government rarely if ever can be useful for citizens. So when they say "government shouldn't get involved", it doesn't seem to be a statement of their opinion on social media or tiktok, it is about government in general.
They will not. Users only care about 2 things: Price and functionality.

It doesn't cost manufacturers anything extra at this point to include all the 'smart' features. It would cost more to make a 'dumb' TV.

No sane manufacturer is going to make a TV with less features that costs more for the sake of not even a percentage of the consumer base looking for TVs.

If you don't like it, buy a TV that's less egregious and get a PiHole. Then don't use the features you don't want. There. Done.

Zigbee is wonderful, especially alongside things like zigbee2mqtt device support [0]. The downside is that its not uncommon to see non-compliant devices, or buggy implementations which is almost more annoying.

Furniture. Instead of buying fixed mass-SKU items from IKEA or Amazon, it is common to order custom-made furniture in Ukraine. I once ordered an office table in Ukraine on Rozetka (Ukraine's version of Amazon) and was surprised when the seller reached out and asked me what height I want it, at no additional cost.

Dentists. For 10% of the cost you get the same (or usually better) service. I've been doing regular dental cleaning since I was a child.

Delivery. Ukraine's delivery service Nova Poshta Shopping in Ukraine allows me to order from almost anywhere in the world, including Amazon in the USA (they have shipping addresses and warehouses all over the world). I recently ordered a spare part in the US and a book in the UK from different sellers in those countries, and both items reached me within 10 days in Ukraine at less than the cost of shipping within the original country. Much better the poor experience of international shipping in the US and Canada.

Also another cool thing when ordering online in Ukraine is that the post office allows you try and return things in the post office itself. So you can order second-hand items on a market like eBay/Craigslist and you don't need to trust the seller. You can open the box, test to see if it the thing works, and send it back to seller if it's not to your satisfaction -- the post office itself takes escrow of the item for a minimal cost, and transfers money to the seller only if you got to try the item and are satisfied with it. This means you can easily buy second hand stuff online without organizing local meetup or needing to trust the seller.

ATMs. You can withdraw cash from most bank ATMs without even having a bank card on you, just by scanning a QR-code from your phone using the banking app.

Identity theft protection. All major dealings in the bank in Ukraine are photo-id'ed, i.e. the teller takes a picture of you when you make a request on your account. This really helps against identity theft, as a person with all your details would also have to fake your appearance to be able to open a mortgage or get credit.
