Yep, 100% agreed. Last month I scheduled phone calls with close friends/family to ask questions like this:

• What can I be doing differently?

• What's holding me back?

• What should I spend less time on?

• If you were me, what would you change?

• Where should I focus next?

• What can everybody see that I can't? What's taped to my back?

What an amazing experience! It's so hard to listen to criticism without defense. It's even harder to find actionable next steps once problems have been identified! I think I've been more interested in actionable feedback lately, but I guess not all good feedback is necessarily actionable

this has been a known problem with YouTube for ever and they seem to have no interest in fixing it.
I mean it in the sense that I've literally never met a person who prefers travelling by public transport to a personal motorized vehicle outside of long trips. The usage I've seen of it is from people who are too much of a mess financially to afford a car/license or people who are terrified of driving. Incentives just don't fix the issue of having no control and being in a pod with a hundred people you don't know and who have not been screened for insanity, excessive odor, sickness and general obnoxiousness.

And there are scooters and commuter bikes which are tamer, even electric ones. I'm not saying everyone should get sports bikes with 16 Rs in the name and a straight pipe or a Harley Tractor.

Out of curiosity, are motorcycles actually more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists than cars? Couldn't find anything quick enough.
These algorithmic platforms aren’t deciding what we get to talk about, they are editorializing; deciding which of our posts they would like to rebroadcast to their other users. If he doesn’t want to make sure the things his network rebroadcasts are true… I mean, it’s sort of like, well they’ve always been extremely lazy about fact checking anyway. So I guess it is good that he’s announcing it.

Social media is mostly not a good place for political discussion. It is mostly anonymous/pseudonymous people (or at least mostly strangers) arguing past each other, arguing for the crowd, or just venting into the void. It might be a good place for doing rhetoric/propaganda. As if we needed more of that.

Social media feels vaguely like talking to your friends, aka, having political discussions. I think conflating political discussions and spewing rhetoric has made us much dumber as a society.

These are monumentally different. You cannot use your computer as an LLM. Its more novelty.

It falsely equates Nivida GPUs with Apple CPUs. The winner is Apple.

Yup, that was my comment / I'm the author of the blog post. The discussion here inspired me to do the study more carefully and turn it into a longer post.

I think it's fair to leave the random generation in or out, really, as long as we're still comparing apples to apples. But I agree with you that it probably would have made the benchmarking more clear had I left them out.
Brown rice isn't that good for you. Although if you remove that (or at least tell them to do 'light' rice) and add the lettuce, one of the salsas and the fajita veggies instead it starts getting pretty healthy (at least as far as I know).

I wonder if something like this is possible with HDMI? Separate 10G SFP+ for each color channel, one more for i2c, create a similar style breakout PCB, maybe add an MPO or CWDM mux… Could be a fun project. Optical HDMI cables are expensive and most of the time come with a preexisting cable which is hard to route (in conduits) due to HDMI connector size.
Restaurants in the U.S.A. belonging to large franchise chains have portion sizes that are astonishingly large in comparison to those I've typically seen in my world travels, and the ingredients tend to be heavily processed.

Even quick snacks found at U.S. gas stations (when I'm running late) consist chiefly of mass-produced, sugary, heavily processed desserts like Twinkies and HoHos, whereas options for fresh fruit and locally made goods with natural ingredients are often not to be found. I take a pass and look for an open supermarket instead. I doubt that it is a supply chain issue: in the north of Scandinavia and Canada, the outback of Australia, and especially through Asia it is almost always possible to get somewheat healthy quick snacks of a local variety at roadside petrol stations.

I'm surprised it works this well!

A while ago I looked into this for a similar-ish hobby project, and the main dealbreaker seemed to be the mandatory AC coupling capacitors: they are intended to block DC currents, so a signal which is substantially slower than intended is essentially fighting a high-pass filter. This is also why there are special AV SPF transceivers: Unlike Ethernet, SDI suffers from "pathological patterns" consisting of extremely long runs of 1s or 0s, which can cause "DC wander" [0]. SDI transceivers need to take this (albeit extremely unlikely) possibility into account, or risk losing signal lock.

For this reason I pretty much gave up on the idea of reliably going sub-100Mbps on cheap and easily available 1G / 10G SFP modules. Seeing it (mostly) work for TOSLINK at 3Mbps is beyond my wildest expectations - I bet the LVDS driver's high slew rate is doing quite a bit of work here too.

The first sentence they said was:

> 1. The data is obviously flawed, but if there's anything to speculate from it, it's that the actual congestion in lower Manhattan isn't affected that much.

I'm not saying that's correct or incorrect, but the person you replied to already considered what you brought up and responded to it. The primary "point" seems not to have worked, so the in-practice reason to keep the policy becomes other benefits, which for the city would include revenue being raised. (I guess you can argue it's not a "success" if the main point wasn't achieved, but good luck convincing the city to give up the additional revenue.)
> For about $6,000 a pair of Nvidia Project Digits offer about a combined 2 petaflops processing and 256 GB VRAM.

2 PFLOPS at FP4.

256 GB RAM, not VRAM. I think they haven't specified the memory bandwidth.
We don't have self-control. Nobody cooks. And if they do it's microwaved or frozen garbage.

We eat out too much. To the point where we overpay to have shoddy delivery services bring us fast food.

The portions are too big. 1,500 calorie burgers, 2,000 calorie appetizers (the thing you eat before you eat your meal), 1,600 calorie 'salads'. Let's not forget the copious amounts of soda. When's the last time you at a single slice of pizza?

Plus ubiquitous snacks like chips or cookies that are precisely engineered to get to eat as many as you can.
How would decentralization make a difference here? Fact checking only makes sense when a platform has people with multiple different beliefs about what is true. If people can self-select into their own bubble, then it doesn't do anything, does it?
I would bet that people running LLMs on their Macs, today, is <0.1% of their user base.
Honestly, I think the real solution is far, far simpler: just have social media operate more 'privately'. My Bluesky feed shows me content from people I follow, that's it. I don't get extreme opinions forced upon me and, if I did, I would simply unfollow that person. It doesn't need any censorship in the same way email doesn't.
Nvidia optimize meaning non-public patches, a non-upgradable operating system like what happens if you upgrade with a binary blob Nvidia driver?
School is a must for every kid. However, the form that our current education system takes is absurd. It is barely appropriate for a minority of students. Much less all of them. There are so many better education systems in the world with amazing results and we refuse to make ours better.
Something that this genre of article fails to explain or even mention is the vast geographic differences between "the American diet" and other American diets. Health outcomes are quiet varied. Why are people in Minneapolis healthier? Are they immune to Wonder Bread and Gummi Bears? Why are people in Oakland fairly healthy despite the fried chicken wars?
You also have to factor in any reduction (or increase) in traffic fatalities and injuries. 34 traffic deaths and roughly 7500 injuries occurred in Manhattan in one of the nation's highest GDP-per-capita area, so the loss of economic output from these fatalities and injuries is likely fairly high.

Cava is pretty good in NYC and I’ve largely replaced Chipotle with them if I’m craving “bowl of food not made at home”. Would encourage you to try it out.
Never. You can to a first approximation model a GPU as a whole bunch of slow CPUs harnessed together and ordered to run the same code at the same time, on different data. When you can feed all the slow CPUs different data and do real work, you get the big wins because the CPU count times the compute rate will thrash what CPUs can put up for that same number, due to sheer core count. However, if you are in an environment where you can only have one of those CPUs running at once, or even a small handful, you're transported back to the late 1990s in performance. And you can't speed them up without trashing their GPU performance because the optimizations you'd need are at direct odds with each other.

CPUs are not fast or slow. GPUs are not fast or slow. They are fast and slow for certain workloads. Contra popular belief, CPUs are actually really good at what they do, and the workloads they are fast at are more common than the workloads that GPUs are fast at. There's a lot to be said for being able to bring a lot of power to bear on a single point, and being able to switch that single point reasonably quickly (but not instantaneously). There's also a lot to be said for having a very broad capacity to run the same code on lots of things at once, but it definitely imposes a significant restriction on the shape of the problem that works for.

I'd say that broadly speaking, CPUs can make better GPUs than GPUs can make CPUs. But fortunately, we don't need to choose.
> There are a lot of Americans who can't/don't cook mainly for time reasons

In that sense, the 10% of people who aren't that busy, should be cooking.

Very few people are that busy. It's just not a priority.

Americans spend an astonishing 4 hours and 37 minutes looking at our phones every day.
> Mark has looked at what has happened to Twitter since Musk took over, a notable decline in activity and value… and decided he wants a piece of that?

Hell yes he does, Twitter helped Musk get a seat at the table with Trump and the ability to influence US policy decisions at an unprecedented level. Zuck craves power and sees sucking up to the incoming administration as an easy path to get more of it.
"Fire breathing" is completely inappropriate.

Strix Halo is a replacement for the high-power laptop CPUs from the HX series of Intel and AMD, together with a discrete GPU.

The thermal design power of a laptop CPU-dGPU combo is normally much higher than 120 W, which is the maximum TDP recommended for Strix Halo. The faster laptop dGPUs want more than 120 W only for themselves, not counting the CPU.

So any claims of being surprised that the TDP range for Strix Halo is 45 W to 120 W are weird, like the commenter has never seen a gaming laptop or a mobile workstation laptop.
Meh. Feels like astronomical prices for the smallest upgrades they could get away with.

I miss when high-end GPUs were $300-400, and you could get something reasonable for $100-200. I guess that's just integrated graphics these days.

The most I've ever spent on a GPU is ~$300, and I don't really see that changing anytime soon, so it'll be a long time before I'll even consider one of these cards.
fb has been censoring left wing stuff and leaving fascists be since several years. This is just "like before, but even more" I think.
I don't agree. There were a bunch of university protests over Gaza (slapped down for stupid reasons by university administrators under pressure from government), and, really, they just made noise, but they got a lot of people to notice, including myself. And to ask ourselves, what do I think about this?

If you are expecting protests to force someone's hand, that isn't protest or protected political speech, that's coercion. Some forms of that are legal (e.g., strikes), but there are pretty sharply defined limits.

Couldn't quickly find a source for Japan, but this meta-study [1, see Table 1] gives a list of the percentage of UPFs per national diet. It lists Korea (25.1%) and Taiwan (19.5%), which may be relatively close. Anyway, the US comes in at 58%, clearly a big difference.

I've been using the plain free ChatGPT for all sorts of things of value.

It's like having the world's greatest tutor available on all subjects at all times. Ask it to recap the key characters and themes of a book and it does it. Ask it to explain the pharmacokinetics of a medication and it does it. Ask it about how to cook a certain dish or improve your turns while skiing or fix a problem in your garden and it gives you a good answer.

I'm not sure how you're trying to use it that's resulting in "trash writing", but my experience is that it's like I can text a friend with a phD in whatever domain at any time and get a response explaining it.

The "hallucination" problem is still very real, it will at times confidently give wrong answers, but it still speeds up the research and learning process for me massively, I just know I need to double-check things it says, but it's much faster to check that an LLM's answer is correct than spend weeks reading textbooks to come up with an answer myself.
Depends on domain I think. In some cases it can be very beneficial to keep the code close to the source, say math equations, to ensure they've been correctly implemented.

In this case the operators should be unsurprising, so they do what one would expect based on the source domain. Multiplying a vector and a scalar for example should return the scaled vector, but one should most likely not implement multiplication between vectors as that would likely cause confusion.

None of that crap you mentioned has anything to do with the previous post.

>Gamers not being able to find an affordable option is still a problem.

Used to think about this often because I had a side hobby of building and selling computers for friends and coworkers that wanted to get into gaming, but otherwise had no use for a powerful computer.

For the longest time I could still put together $800-$1000 PC's that could blow consoles away and provide great value for the money.

Now days I almost want to recommend they go back to console gaming. Seeing older ps5's on store shelves hit $349.99 during the holidays really cemented that idea. Its so astronomically expensive for a PC build at the moment unless you can be convinced to buy a gaming laptop on a deep sale.

Heh, if you want a really atrocious USB power violation... Costco sold some extremely bright flashlights (think car headlight bright, and also usable as a self-defense weapon in the spirit of the old D-cell Maglites) before Christmas, that have an USB charge socket. Needless to say they include a charge cable but no charger.

But this thing wants 1.5A at 5V. And doesn't do any power "negotiation" at all, as far as I can see. It happens to work because modern smartphone chargers can do 5V at 2A by default. But plug it into any older charger and the charger immediately shuts down due to overcurrent.

I have one of those USB passthrough voltage/current meter gadgets. Yes, it draws 1.5A. I guess what it should be doing is slow-charge unless it can negotiate for more power. It's a very decent flashlight otherwise.

Oh, it also has two USB-C sockets. A red one for charging, and a black one for using the flashlight's substantial battery as a power bank. I don't know what would happen if you plugged the charger into the wrong socket and don't have the courage to try.

It really mystifies me that Intel AMD and other hardware companies obviously Nvidia in this case Don't either have a consortium or each have their own in-house Linux distribution with excellent support.

Windows has always been a barrier to hardware feature adoption to Intel. You had to wait 2 to 3 years, sometimes longer, for Windows to get around us providing hardware support.

Any OS optimizations in Windows you had to go through Microsoft. So say you added some instructions custom silicon or whatever to speed up Enterprise databases, provide high-speed networking that needed some special kernel features, etc, there was always Microsoft being in the way.

Not just in the drag the feet communication. Getting the tech people a line problem.

Microsoft will look at every single change. It did as to whether or not it would challenge their Monopoly whether or not it was in their business interest whether or not it kept you as the hardware and a subservient role.

All else being equal, for team-based, creative, knowledge work, having everyone collocated is more productive.

But not all is equal. You can't necessarily attract the all the talent. It doesn't scale without extremely disciplined organizational and physical space design - working remotely in the office, is the more common norm. Your team is spread over different locations and buildings anyway so you aren't really working locally in practice. Strong communication and collaboration practices are what dominate - so just having people together in one place and expecting osmosis doesn't beat good async tooling and discussion practices (like those from the best OSS projects).
