Nothing special. Slight increases in minor accidents and near misses, some minority of which will involve pedestrians or road rage violence Basically the same downsides as anything else that changes the speed via rule or enforcement rather than changing the conditions of the road (e.g. "traffic calming").
I actually think it (visually) doesn't look that great, at least in the trailer. The shading is some mix between flat cartoon-style (e.g. it seems the eyes aren't realistically shaded and some of the fur also looks intentionally flat) and the usual non-flat render-look with the realistic ray traced shading we always see from Pixar & co. But maybe this semi-stylized shading was the best compromise given the (no doubt) very constrained budget for a feature film. Making it look like a hand-drawn cartoon would probably have been too difficult, and creating all the realistic surface materials (e.g. for fur etc) that are used in mainstream Pixar-style animation would probably also have been too expensive.

There are actually some Blender short films on YouTube that look visually very high quality on the level of big budget animation, but for those the length is usually just a few minutes.
Depends on the details, as always.

If this hypothetical future is one where mixtures of experts is predominant, where each expert fits on a node, then the nodes only need the bandwidth to accept inputs and give responses — they won't need the much higher bandwidth required to spread a single model over the planet.
They have, because until now Apple Silicon was the only practical way for many to work with larger models at home because they can be configured with 64-192GB of unified memory. Even the laptops can be configured with up to 128GB of unified memory.

Performance is not amazing (roughly 4060 level, I think?) but in many ways it was the only game in town unless you were willing and able to build a multi-3090/4090 rig.
The auto-fart-smelling is pretty funny, and is made doubly so by the comments. At the very top someone immediately misattributes a quote due to an AI hallucination, triggering lamentations of AI polluting "high quality fora". Never mind that the "fora postum" in question is itself a bunch of fancy-sounding nonsense rooted largely in misunderstanding, hallucinated by a meat-powered intelligence.
That's the third time you've posted this exact line. You're starting to sound like a shill, and an uncreative one at that.
The pressure has just shifted from being applied by the left to the right. There is still censorship on Twitter, it is just the people Elon doesn't like who are getting censored. The same will happen on Facebook. Zuckerberg has been cozying up to Trump for a reason.
For programs dominated by iterations over arrays, these 10 Arm Cortex-X925 + 10 Cortex-A725, all 20 together, should have a throughput similar with only 10 of the 16 cores of Strix Halo (assuming that Strix Halo has full Zen 5 cores, which has not been confirmed yet).

For programs dominated by irregular integer and pointer operations, like software project compilation, 10 Arm Cortex-X925 + 10 Cortex-A725 should have a similar throughput with a 16-core Strix Halo, but which is faster would depend on cooling (i.e. a Strix Halo configured for a high power consumption will be faster).

There is not enough information to compare the performance of the GPUs from this NVIDIA Digits and from Strix Halo. However, it can be assumed that NVIDIA Digits will be better for ML/AI inference. Whether it can also be competitive for training or for graphics remains to be seen.
That's silly. The Constitution says "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member."

For example, House Rule XVII ("DECORUM AND DEBATE") says "Remarks in debate (which may include references to the Senate or its Members) shall be confined to the question under debate, avoiding personality."

If Congress is the reference, then Facebook gets to define what "disorderly Behaviour" is, just like the House and Senate get to define for themselves what "disorderly Behavior" means.

If the House is the ideal for how to have debate, then Facebook debate must also avoid personality.
Yes, truth is gone. But, we should never lose hope that things will straighten out again eventually.

this is almost exactly how ive been using llms. i dont like the code complete in the ide, personally, and prefer all llm usage to be narrow specific blocks of code. it helps as i bounce between a lot of side projects, projects at work, and freelance projects. not to mention with context switching it really helps keep things moving, imo

>I hadn't heard that this was likely to happen. Any Canadians here able to weigh on whether this was expected or is a normal procedure for your elected officials?

For many months liberal backbenchers have been calling for him to resign. Though obviously not 'likely to happen'

Only weeks ago(mid december) Trudeau refused his own caucus' call to resign. Saying he was staying on to fight for Canadians. Freeland quit with a flaming public letter and he still said he's staying in the game.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberals-renew-calls-trudea...

Didnt really do much, it took weeks more before he finally resigned yesterday. Despite this, still no resignation. Now parliament has been mostly suspended due to the liberal's failure to submit documents. A significant scandal.

The reason his caucus is upset is because the vast majority of them will lose in the next election. Polling suggesting they hold onto ~20 seats in an Ignatief level of fail. Resignation will still be quite unlikely. From a strategic point of view, taking the L election night and then letting a new liberal leader rebuild their reputation over 4 years is the right move.

You'll now have a leadership race where nobody wants the career ending job. The rats that try to fight for it just want their name as prime minister.

Yet here he finally resigned. Change Control dictates it was the gun ban.

The polls post-gun ban put the liberals in single digit seats. It was over for him. The gun ban ended Trudeau.
Outgoing US transport chief says Boeing has more to do after 737 MAX incident
The issue is not necessarily the policy changes by themselves but rather the context in which they are occuring, the very suspicious timing, which makes it look like Zuck is simply catering to the newly elected President. That's the opposite of "free speech" and eliminating bias.

And the notion suggested by Zuck that Texas is somehow less biased than California is ridiculous. Perhaps if he had suggested a swing state like Wisconsin, for example (which happens to have some empty space available where a Foxconn factory was never built).
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? Musk is begging people on Twitter to post more positive content, as it devolves into 4chan-lite.

If Musk’s ideological experiment with Twitter had proven the idea that you can have a pleasant to use website without any moderation then Mark’s philosophical 180 would at least make sense, but this doesn’t, at all. What’s to gain? Musk has done everyone a favor by demonstrating that moderation driven by a fear of government intervention was actually a good thing.
I understand that fact checkers and moderators can have biases but surely this new direction needs to be coupled with some more robust bot detection and abuse systems to stop people gaming things like “community notes”
This is exactly right. All hail Trump. All bow and worship Trump. We’re watching in real time a phenomena that I think is not new to the world, but new to America.

Which are that the government can't censor speech. Forcing a private entity to support any form of speech is actually against the first amendment, it is compelled speech.
I believe he is being honest. I remember him making similar remarks in the past, saying they don't want to be the arbiters of truth. Most tech companies were like this before, but they were pressured by some other force to censor. Glad to see that's changing.

So far, none of the data provided by the linked site would suggest Manhattan will see a reduction in transportation times. This is with the Monday snow however, which I'd imagine
caused delays by itself.

I will say, being in Manhattan, their seems to be less traffic on the road. I wonder if Google Maps traffic data is using a rolling average of ~7 days or something
The product isn't even finalized. It might never come to fruition, and I cannot fathom how they will make the power profile fit. I am skeptical that a $3000 device with 128GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD with the specs provided will even see reality any time within the next year, but let's pretend it will.

However we do know that it offers 1/4 the TOPS of the new 5090. It will be less powerful than the $600 5070. Which, of course it will given power limitations.

The only real compelling value is that nvidia memory starves their desktop cards so severely. It's the small opening that Apple found, even though Apple's FP4/FP8 performance is a world below what nvidia is offering. So purely from that perspective this is a winning product, as 128GB opens up a lot of possibilities. But from a raw performance perspective, it's actually going to pale compared to other nvidia products.
The older I get, the more I realize that people just live in different realities and so many contradictory facts can be true. Obviously this is a source of conflict.
All good points! And I am no expert.

FWIW, here is what I was going off of, price wise:

In other words, the cheapest TL071 variant and the cheapest OPA2323 variant on Digikey Canada, in a quantity of 1 (ie wildly expensive). $0.31 vs $2.70 means that I shouldn't attempt math before coffee; 8.7x is still a big bump, although I acknowledge it's not the 12x I disinformationed earlier, with apologies to anyone reading.

I don't disagree with being cynical about social media, but community belief is the overwhelming mechanism by which fact is decided throughout history, including now.
What job is going to send you home if you finish a days work in an hour instead of going you more stuff to do? it's as simple as that.
At first, I thought it was just a clicker; then it reminded me of the game "Don't Move" https://store.steampowered.com/app/334350/Dont_Move/ which is a very short experiment on what is a game. Finally, I realized it's something else entirely, and even more annoying.
I am in the same boat, photos are here to stay at least in the short to medium term. It will most definitely change as we get better and better models that become photo realistic. I keep seeing the same themed AI generated images in tech blogs and it is tiresome, its just like how meme images were constantly used in writeups a decade ago.
Sure, but on the other hand that's just as true for income in the US, the disparity in average income between major cities and the rest of the US is even sharper than it is in Canada.
The root problem is voters tolerating a government that sees law enforcement as a profit center.
I doubt you'll be able to easily tell from the outputs of frontier models for most stock image usages by the time this merger is approved.
Apple sent me to a rural cornfield once instead of a church where baptism was taking place. It was funny because we weren’t the only ones, everyone using Apple Maps was sent to the same cornfield.

These type of rare but common enough edge cases make me super hesitant to use it in the Midwest.

Technically there is average IQ by country site, just google. Not that difficult to get faces by country. Put them together. Of course there are regulations and ethic. But in some cases it should work well and is more or less acceptable. Like on Down syndrome or alcohol/drugs abuse. Also age detection should work. So, it can be used within legal and acceptable range.
Zuck's video claims Europe has been imposing a lot of censorship lately, which is a nicer way for him to say "we have done a crappy job at stopping misinformation and abusive material, got fined A LOT by countries who actually care about it, and that's somehow not our fault".

Community notes is good news, and something I was expecting to disappear from Twitter since Elon bought it a couple years ago, especially since they have called out his lies more than once. Hearing Facebook/Instagram/Threads are getting them is great.

Then he claims "foreign governments are pushing against American companies" like we aren't all subject to the same laws. And actually, it wasn't the EU who prohibited a specific app alleging "security risks" because actually they can't control what's said there; it was the US, censoring TikTok.

Perhaps we the europeans should push for a ban of US platforms like Twitter, especially when its owner has actually pledged to weaponise the platform to favour far-right candidates like AfD (Germany) or Reform UK. And definitely push for bigger fines to monopolistic companies like Meta.
And this relates to Trump, Musk, and Zuck shoving their politics down our throats how?

Their GDP is bigger, so we just give up self-determination? Maybe in your country the people who fought for freedom are all dead now, not here. F all that. We are barely 2 generations free here. Not going back.

I think Getty, Shutterstock and Adobe Stock are _the_ stock image agencies. If two of them merge, wouldn't that be enough for a "market dominating position" and therefore enough to get somebody involved?

By what metric, exactly?
I'm sure a lot of people see "uncensored" and think "porn" but there's a lot of stuff that e.g. Dall-E won't let you do.

Suppose you're a content creator and you need an image of a real person or something copyrighted like a lot of sports logos for your latest YouTube video's thumbnail. That kind of thing.

I'm not getting into how good or bad that is; I'm just saying I think it's a pretty common use case.

Heck, I'm willing to pay $3000 for one of these to get a good model that runs my requests locally. It's probably just my stupid ape brain trying to do finance, but I'm infinitely more likely to run dumb experiments with LLMs on hardware I own than I am while paying per token (to the point where I currently spend way more time with small local llamas than with Claude), and even though I don't do anything sensitive I'm still leery of shipping all my data to one of these companies.

This isn't competing with cloud, it's competing with Mac Minis and beefy GPUs. And $3000 is a very attractive price point in that market.
The bigger picture is that OpenAI o3/o4.. plus specialized models will blow open the doors to genome tagging and discovery, but that is still 1 to 3 years away for ASI to kick in.
It’s bad for society that peddlers of stupidity can do so at scale and for little cost. We now have millions of people doubting the benefits of the polio vaccine. This disinformation is spread primarily through a few websites. It seems to me that they ought to have some responsibility to restrict destructive disinformation.

One thing I didn't see mentioned: this would be a good motivation for Nvidia to release "open weights" models.

Just like Mac OS is free when you buy a Mac, having the latest high-quality LLM for free that just happens to run well on this box is a very interesting value-prop. And Nvidia definitely has the compute to make it happen.
Yes, that’s one of the advantages of RAG as it helps you dynamically feed text into the model based on semantic similarity to the question as opposed to sending all text into the context window.

I'm not talking only about USA - it's laughable that they can't enact proper laws so this doesn't happen.

Then I think you're a fool and it's useless to talk to you anymore.
Wow - what a bleak answer.

You can't imagine being healthy at 75?

Most of my family members 75+ are still doing quite well.

My great grandma lived to 99 and wasn't particularly unhealthy until 98.

My mom's best friend's dad is 98 now, and was in pretty good health until 96.

None of them were poor and burdens on society.
This is a good characterization. I'm precision-driven and know what I need to do at any low level. It's the high-level definition that is uncertain. So it doesn't really help to produce a dozen prototypes of an idea and pick one, nor does it help to fill in function definitions.
Indeed. This is corporate America’s version of bending the knee.
By this logic, a broken 24 hour clock stuck at mid day has 0 error.
Roman Empire's Air Pollution May Have Lowered the IQ of Europe
Love Joel, and all his work.

I feel sad reading this because it is filled with the millennial optimism that DID improve the world in the early 10s in the wake of the financial crisis. We are in a different time, I think.

The core issues are that voting, donating, and protesting, do not "work" in effecting meaningful change for the average American on a timescale that is useful.

No amount of donating, voting, or protesting, or xyz will change this political vibe until there are real consequences for bad actors. Without this, this creates the dichotomy of "winners" and "suckers". When you are a sucker enough times, you don't want to play anymore. Noblesse obligee is for suckers. Voting is for suckers. Policy making? Suckers. Donating is for suckers. Working is for suckers.

When faced with extractionists, there is no building.

My savings is a megacorp's uncaptured/unallocated value. That is my only defense against the dark arts of our system, and it is at risk every day I am alive.

For my peers, they feel advancing their life goals (school, house, kids) has a non-zero possibility of blowing them up. This persistent insecurity is the result of decades of the American System. We can all look back at the last decades and see what outcomes look like for the average.

You see it and feel it at all levels, from local politics, to national politics.

You see it in tech, lord of the flies style corporatism is in vogue. It is expressed in people chasing promos, doing small scale company politics against their rivals, and doing absolutely unethical things while getting away with it. I have seen people who I thought were good people suddenly say and do ethically radioactive things to get ahead in their career. The trick is never getting caught, and always getting ahead.

If you raise your voice, everything you have worked for is at risk, if you're lucky, you're fired, if you're not, you're exiled from the industry.

I have optimism for America on the long term, but currently we have too many exploiters, a system that reacts too slowly / not effectively to those inputs, and seemingly no recourse due to the legal system not cleaning up. Note, normal is the guy at your coffee shop making you coffee, the person stocking shelves at your grocery, and the guy who fixes your car, not the "I sold my startup for 1B and I can't figure out my own life." guy.

As for me, early on my small surplus was blasted by one hospital bill due to flu (20k), and getting millstoned by college debt while working in academia. I recovered by going full megacorper, much to the chagrin of my old lab. No PhD meant always a pet and never a peer.

May the odds be ever in your favor.
I feel you're missing the elephant in the room with the clock observation:

Time is a cube, not a cuboid.
The price seems relatively competitive even compared to other local alternatives like "build your own PC". I'd definitely buy one of this (or even two if it works really well) for developing/training/using models that currently run on cobbled together hardware I got left after upgrading my desktop.
Thanks for keeping the site what it is. Can't be easy work.
Those statistics don't seem to prove what you're claiming. At all.

Even if we go with your premise (which in itself makes a whole bunch of assumptions), South Asian homicide victim rate per 100,000 people is comparable to the total rate (and for some years significantly lower):

2019: 1.77 vs 1.84 total

2020: 1.21 vs 2.01 total

2021: 1.69 vs 2.09 total

2022: 2.35 vs 2.27 total

2023: 1.38 vs 1.94 total

So even if your argument was valid (in inference, which I'm absolutely not convinced about), the data doesn't even back it, so it is at the very least unsound.

Did you confuse Indians with Southeast Asian by any chance? That group has a little higher rate of homicide victimhood, though only marginal. SE Asian people include Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Philippine etc nationals, not Indian/Pakistani/Sri Lankan.
Outdated view, I'm afraid.

I might agree with you regarding free speech and free expression if it wasn't, as is increasingly happening, shaped and manipulated either by algorithms or basic, out-in-the-open policy.

For example, I took a look at X for the first time in ages the other day via xcancel ... it was even more of a cesspit than it has been where horrible voices were shown first because they had a blue tick (which is not a signifier of any form of quality) and many reasonable voices are drowned out.

If this is the trend for all networks (and we see here Zuckerberg capitulating here unsurprisingly), then a time will quickly come where these billionaires will shape narrative quickly and easily.

And, of course, that time is already here, "just not evenly distributed".
Which is sad.

All these centibillionaires kissing the ring is just sad.

They have the money, economic might, and social capital to not have to engage with Trump.

Instead, they kiss his ass. Why?
Did they make any distinction between allowing hate and lies and giving them the full force of viral engagement-baiting?
Until when?
