I have a power bank that is PD capable, but I cannot charge it from my MacBook even if the MacBook is plugged in to power. I get around it by using a USB-C/A dongle and corresponding USB-C/A cable. Presumably this "downgrades" the connection and since the MacBook doesn't support traditional USB charging it has to charge the power bank. Does USB-C not have a way to indicate that a potential power source is a battery so that the MacBook can charge it if it's plugged in to power, and reverse roles otherwise? Is this a fault how the power bank or macOS implements power negotiation, or is this scenario simply unaddressed in USB-C?

Funny enough, if I plug the USB-C/A dongle on the end of the power bank and the cable into the MacBook, it also won't charge.

I also have a Philips One toothbrush with a USB-C charging input. Similarly, I can't charge it with a USB-C cable directly from my MacBook but have to use A in between (I unsuccessfully tried using either a thinner "lower speed" or a thicker "higher speed" USB-C cable). I'm assuming the toothbrush doesn't support PD, so then why can't it fall back to traditional charging with a C-to-C cable?

Those numbers seem quite exaggerated, I think since 2008 the US economy has grown around 40 percent, EU around 25? So definitely more growth but hardly a ratio of 2, or where do you get your numbers?
Yeah that's cheaper than many prosumer GPUs on the market right now
Intersting.

So engineers that like to iterate and explore are more likely to like LLMs.

Whereas engineers that like have a more rigid specific process are more likely to dislike LLMs.
I think there are a lot of non-porn uses. I see a lot of YouTube thumbnails that seem AI generated, but feature copyrighted stuff.

(example: a thumbnail for a YT video about a video game, featuring AI-generated art based on that game. because copyright reasons, in my very limited experience Dall-E won't let you do that)

I agree that AI porn doesn't seem a real market driver. With 8 billion people on Earth I know it has its fans I guess, but people barely pay for porn in the first place so I reallllly dunno how many people are paying for AI porn either directly or indirectly.

It's unclear to me if AI generated video will ever really cross the "uncanny valley." Of course, people betting against AI have lost those bets again and again but I don't know.
The new $2k card from Nvidia will be 32GB but your point stands. AMD is planning a unified chiplet based GPU architecture (AI/data center/workstation/gaming) called UDNA, which might alleviate some of these issues. It's been delayed and delayed though - hence the lackluster GPU offerings from team Red this cycle - so I haven't been getting my hopes up.

Maybe (LP)CAMM2 memory will make model usage just cheap enough that I can have a hosting server for it and do my usual midrange gaming GPU thing before then.

I thought his project, sketch.dev is of very poor quality. I wouldn't ship something like this - the auth process is awful and broke, I still can't login. If after 14 hours of the post the service is still rugged to death, it also means the scalability of the app is bad. If we are going to use LLMs to replace hours of programming, we should aim for quality too.
They did exactly this, announcing at the same event new Nemo models upcoming (a fine-tune of llama).
I see a lot of posts like this, and this is straight up disinformation. I'm not assuming it's willful, since disinformation breeds disinformation, but here's my account as someone who lives here and is glad Trudeau resigned.

The idea that it was a few days of honking then bouncy castles is nonsense. It was an extended occupation of the downtown of the capital. Endless trucks and other vehicles, many with their wheels removed, back-to-back fully blocking a large section of the downtown for weeks. Yes, honking – and loud truck air horns.

There really was chaos downtown, and not the hand-wringing "poop in the street in SF" type. And a lot of it did have right wing vibes. Examples: A well known café had its large window with a LGBTQ illustration smashed. There was while when emergency workers needed escort downtown because of racist abuse. (I was downtown, I heard and saw a ton myself.) Just incredibly dumb stuff: A soup kitchen was intimidated and raided.

And yes, it was financially supported by the "right", including a lot of American money.

Yes, there was a site with bouncy castles and kids playing, but that's obviously not a problem. There's protest in Ottawa all the time, and it's sometimes inconvenient, and that's life in the capital.

The last straw for me wasn't even the chaos in Ottawa, but the protest shutting down the Ambassador bridge in Windsor. That's really bad. Ontario's auto sector is huge, and the perceived reliability and predictability of the flow of intermediate goods across the border is everything to that sector. Interrupting it has an enormous immediate and ongoing economic impact. (I'm not sure where you get your information, but the bridge is also in Ontario.)

None of that is to say that the emergencies act was the right tool. My fairly uninformed impression is that there were tools short of the act that should have been used.

But it's frustrating seeing disinformation and revisioning like this stand. Please reconsider whatever news sources are providing you with this false information.

Shutterstock and Getty do not make money from their stock photography catalog, most of their revenue comes from maintaining exclusive contracts for editorial content (news photos, videos, etc) and selling licenses to those assets. Someone could easily displace them as they haven’t done anything with their companies but shrink contributor earnings and buy out smaller stock asset companies in the last decade.

Shutterstock usually acquires companies in the winter and lays them off in the spring and fall to boost their stock price.

There is no innovation at the company, just a set of long time engineers and their niche microservice and a rotating door of C-suite looking to collect a bonus from operating capital from layoffs. I do not see anything that actually benefits them being a publicly traded corporation or reasons they deliver actual shareholder value, but they soldier on.

On the wiki page for the London charge they suggest that ten years after the introduction of the congestion charge, traffic levels have been reduced by 10% (ten).

So yes technically less traffic, but not really enough to make any meaningful difference IMO. It is still noisy, it is still congested, it is still polluted, it is still hard to cross roads, it is still hard to get anywhere on a bus in a predictable time, it is still very frightening to be a cyclist (and indeed it is still common for cyclists to get killed or badly injured), and it is still better to get the tube.

I view it more as a toll now really, rather than an attempt to dissuade people from driving in. If they were really serious about trying to stop people driving in, the price would not be £15/day but it would be £500/day or more.

As it stands at the moment, even on the weekend (yes, it runs on the weekend even though there is not much congestion e.g. on a sunday afternoon) if I want to go to central London with the family I will drive. It costs £15, but the price of a return tube ticket is £6, so x2 for me and the wife and it is already £12, then add in £1.75 for the bus tickets to-and-from the tube station (so £3.50 per adult return = £7), and you are already at £19 to use public transport, vs £15 for the congestion charge.

So it is approx 20% cheaper to drive, AND it is more convenient, AND it is quicker, AND it is more comfortable.

Like I said, if they were serious about it being a deterrent they'd price it way, way higher than £15. But actually they want to make cheap enough so that people pay it, and they get money for me using my own private transport and fuel to travel around, and don't have to pay for the running costs of more tubes/buses etc.

> What is your plan and how does creating an app benefit your community?

My main idea is to create value for myself out of whatsapp after putting so much effort into creating the community. So I want to move things out of whatsapp without making the experience worse in any way (and it will probably get better for organizing the information as whatsapp is terrible for that).

The app is a mix of Tinder + Meetup.com. People currently in Rio post what they plan on doing and other people join.

Thanks! That's more "learning" that I had realized. Neat stuff.
Children don't get the tablet immediately, they eat without the tablet and get it when they are done, so there is plenty of time to chat, with opportunities for talking with the adult.

That being said, everything you say makes sense, but the reality is if you don't get a break every couple of months for a few hours, the parents don't perform, so from my perspective they (and myself) get a pass for the tablet.

As for the volume, they can lower it? I'm very careful making sure the volume is low, but I guess some people aren't careful.

This also assumes the children don't spend time with the parents. The parents could be spending many hours with the children so whatever happens at the restaurant is very small in the big picture.

Wait, what do you mean exactly? Isn't WSL2 just a VM essentially? Don't you mean it'll run on Linux (which you also can run on WSL2)?

Or will it really only work with WSL2? I was excited as I thought it was just a Linux Workstation, but if WSL2 gets involved/is required somehow, then I need to run the other direction.

I have a car and live in Brooklyn.
I usually take an Uber anyway because parking is a pain and/or expensive.

So I was previously comparing: $0 car toll + $20-50 parking vs $0 car toll + $50 Taxi/Uber fare

Now I am comparing: $9 car toll + $20-50 parking vs $1.50 Uber toll + $50 Uber fare

That is - the fee is being passed onto riders anyway, so why should I pay a lower toll sitting in the back of an Uber than when driving myself across the bridge?

This is where some of the concerns about classism come into play.
I'm already paying more to be driven around in an Uber vs drive myself. Why should I be given a toll discount?
Yeah I do need the LLM.

Currently running 2 old Tesla M40's for 48GB of VRAM.

While cheaper than this it has its limitations. Running a 200B model locally is very attractive though. Excited for the future.
Just isn't comparable speed wise for anything apart from LLM and in the long run you can double up and swap out Nvidia cards while Mac you need to rebuy the whole machine.
At some point there was a discussion about compile time reflection, which I guess could include functionality like that, but I think the topic died along with some kind of drama around it.

How long until a "PC" isn't CPU + GPU but just a GPU? I know CPUs are good for some things that GPUs aren't and vice versa but... it really kind of makes you wonder.

The successor of NVIDIA Orin is named Thor and it is expected to be launched later this year.

It uses other Arm processor cores than Digits, i.e. Neoverse V3AE, the automotive-enhanced version of Neoverse V3 (which is the server core version of Cortex-X4). According to rumors, NVIDIA Thor might have 14 Neoverse V3AE cores in the base version and there is also a double-die version.

The GPU of NVIDIA Thor is also a Blackwell, but probably with a very different configuration than in NVIDIA Digits.

NVIDIA Thor, like Orin, is intended for high reliability applications, like in automotive or industrial environments, unlike NVIDIA Digits, which is made with consumer-level technology.
Private passenger car driver is paying 12x Taxi toll / 6x Uber toll.
Taxi/Uber toll is passed directly onto he rider.

Why should it be cheaper to be chauffeured?

Also your average Taxi may not even cross into the CPZ 12x per day, so unclear we are making it up on volume either.
The 1 PetaFLOP spec and 200GB model capacity specs are for FP4 (4-bit floating point), which means inference not training/development. It's still be a decent personal development machine, but not for that size of model.
> If the 2024 vote didn’t represent everyone

I mean... is the definition of "everyone" really up for debate? 60% is only a little more than half
The text on the screen is an obvious giveaway.
Phrases like “toll” and “congestion pricing” clearly imply that there will be a cost to driving, so I don’t think it’s reasonable to say anyone in the conversation is ignoring cost.

But again, dismissing the improvements because costs go up is like dismissing the reduction of water pollution because “now only people who can afford chemical disposal can operate a tannery next to the river.”
They've also said there will be more harmful (but legal) content on there as they'll no longer automatically look for it, but require it to be reported before taking action.

As someone who worked on harmful content, specifically suicide and self injury, this is just nuts - they were raked over the coals in both the UK by an inquest into the suicide of a teenage user who rabbit holed on this harmful content, and also with the parents of teenagers who took their lives, who Zuck turned around and apologised to as his latest senate hearing.

There is research that shows exposure to suicide and self injury content increases suicidal ideation.

I'm hoping that there is some nuance that has been missed from the article, but if not, this would seem like a slam dunk for both the UK and EU regulators to take them to task on.
Who are you, who are so wise in the Ways of Science?
> I sure wished I held some Nvidia stocks, they seem to be doing everything right in the last few years!

"Prompt Injection".

1. I wonder if we need to start discussing "Prompt Injection" security about humans. Maybe Fox and Far Right marketing is a form of human Prompt Injection hacks.

2. Maybe a better model for how future "Prompt Injection" will work. Hacking an AI will be more about 'convincing it' kind of like how humans have to be 'convinced' like with propoganda.

3. SnowCrash had the human hacking virus based on language patterns from ancient Sumerian. Humans and Machines can both be hacked by language. Maybe more researching into hacking AI will give some insight into how to hack humans.
You can't use a social media platform that can't ban users, because it'll be full of spammers and people who only communicate in death threats.
The technology now exists that allows the company to offload the ugly business of "fact checking" onto users. It's a pretty clever algorithm, and if they implement it transparently like on X, then it means they can avoid a whole class of criticisms and accusations. This is a no brainer for Meta.
