From all the communication I’ve had with Nvidia, the prevailing sentiment was that the 4090 was an 8K card, that happened to be good for AI due to vram requirements from 8K gaming.

However, I’m a AAA gamedev CTO and they might have been telling me what the card means to me.

I'd like to rephrase as, "don't deploy LLM generated code if you don't know how it works (or what it does)"

This means, it's okay to use LLM to try something new that you're on the fence about. Learn it and then once you've learned that concept or the idea, you can go ahead to use same code if it's good enough.

> Apple users have a fixed belief that everything Apple does is brilliant and fashionable so they do use them which has a deadly effect on the market for third-party software. (No good music players for MacOS for instance)

Many of the long term users of macOS/OS X/etc etc are highly critical of its downfalls, but still use it because of the available options they prefer it. Myself included. You can use something while also being aware of its shortcomings.

Smaller cards with higher power consumption – will GPU water-cooling be cool again?
macOS and iOS supported
https://github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos
There are 1000W SFX-L (and probably SFX) PSUs out there, and console-style cases provide basically perfect cooling through the sides. The limiting factor really is slot width.

(But I'm more eyeing the 5080, since 360W is pretty easy to power and cool for most SFF setups.)
The discussion of avoiding systematic error is fine. It mis- explains why 5 is the threshold as arbitrary.

5 is the threshold because 0 is a number that rounds to 0. So half the numbers in the closed-open range [0-9) round down and half round up. Stated differently, numbers in [0-5) round down and in [5-10) round up.
NVidia's pricing isn't based on how much it takes to produce their cards, but since they have no competition, it's purely based on how much consumers are grudgingly willing to pay up. If AMD continues to sleep, they'll sale these cards for the same price, even if they could produce them for free.
Interesting to realize "clinician" is nowadays usually in a medical context -- but nonetheless, this paper's pure categorization of problem solving was prophetic of mainstream medicine's hubris and incentives:
> "Groups, like individuals, tend not to be aware of what they do not know and need to know."

And,
> "Such discussions are more likely to suppress symptoms than relieve ailments."
These things are by no means mutually exclusive.

Apple could easily spend a few millions to support some old hackers keeping ancient software alive, they choose not to do it because they either don’t care, don’t know they can do it or don’t think it’s profitable.
How will a 5090 compare against project digits? now that they're both in the front page :)

New construction will generally follow the old footprint as well.

My house was built in 1994 and the lower level is roughly 4ft or so below street/sidewalk/alley grade.

We call ours the basement, but in a 3 flat building in the same footprint it would typically be called a garden apartment as it opens to the same level as my backyard and front 'patio' area.

My garage is built to street grade, so my backyard is sunken about 4ft from the street to the alley. This holds true for all my neighbors on the block, thus water retention isn't quite as horrific as it might sound during heavy rains. Lots of sump pumps on the block that are 100% required during storms, but strangely mine had none installed and it's been fine.

Utilities (sewer) run about 1 foot or so under my foundation to the street, where they are about 5-6ft deep under the street if they need to do work.

New construction (tear downs) will typically build below street grade as well since you get an extra floor (4 stories vs. 3) for your new home while remaining under the zoning height restrictions for the neighborhood.
This perfectly captures the node_modules / JavaScript experience, because being underneath the battery would also stop it from working as intended and the battery would be loose again.
> what is still a big puzzle is why police didn't draw weapons during such a violent attack. Usually police, the DC one including, would draw weapons and shoot at the smallest perception of even smallest disobedience

There’s video evidence that police were the first to fire, specifically teargas into a reasonably obedient crowd.

It’s after this happened things started escalating.

AMD Strix Halo is 256GB/sec or so. Similarly AMD's Epyc Sienna family is similar. The EPYC turin family (zen 5) has 576GB/sec or so per socket. Not sure how well any of them do on LLMs. Bandwidth helps, but so does hardware support for FP8 or FP4.
Apparently bike-touring was called bikepacking by the old timers in the 70s. Somewhere along the way it turned into touring. Then got misappropriated to mean road vs dirt. Bikepacking is any kind of bike riding where you've got your "backpack" on the bike. All bikepacking is touring. Backpacking is simply carrying everything you need in your backpack, eg: "backpacking across Europe". Bikepacking is similar, but for with a bike. When you're riding a bike and carrying everything you need for a multi-day, it's bikepacking, regardless of terrain. #pedantics

This last summer I left my front door in the PNW and road 800 miles on a mixture of terrains to the tour divide, road 300 miles of that, then road another 1500 miles of pavement to Iowa. I'd call that bikepacking, and by my previous assertion it's also touring too. Not all touring is bikepacking, but all bikepacking is also touring. That trip is a good counter example of why it gets silly to define bikepacking by the terrain type.
I can't help but be pedantic and point out that since IQ is normalized, their average IQ would be 100 whether or not they used lead.

More philosophically, the condition of life is inherently susceptible to damage, so you practically have to draw the line at what level of damage you want to try and mitigate given the realities of the time. Do you want to be wrapped up, only breathing, eating, and drinking perfectly calibrated mixes of chemicals?

Yes and no.
Cars are indeed the fastest way to travel, if we disregard some aspects like the time needed to park and throughput limits. (also disregarding very large distances where high speed trains and airplanes out compete them)

So for spread out places with lost of space cars will usually be the fastest.

However if we look at dense city centres you have a lot of people competing for parking and a lot of people competing for road throughput.

Say we want to move from A to B, assuming infinite throughput the car is fastest.
Take the same route, but it can handle only 200 cars/hour and 10000 people want to take it, we end up with a lot of cars waiting for each other.
In this case, slower but more efficient modes of travel will be faster at getting all these people to their destination.

This leads us nicely to the Downs–Thomson paradox. When people in the above scenario start to take other modes of transport it reduces the load on our bottleneck. Eventually reaching an equilibrium where the speed of different modes of transport balances out (as people stop switching from one mode to the other)

The hate for traffic calming is an interesting point, as it assumes cars are the only thing that exists.
Unfortunately our cars don't exist in a vacuum, but interact with other object in the world like buildings, and people.
The goal of traffic calming is to make it so that other things are protected from cars. (mainly by lowering speed in places where there is lots of other stuff, you wont see traffic calming on a highway)
In NYC it’s nothing new. A parking spot is already completely unaffordable for the average worker so they don’t drive in anyway. The vast majority of folks affected by the congestion charge are wealthy, or businesses the serve the wealthy (who will pass on the cost).

I was clarifying since the original headline (‘Trudeau resigns’) would be misleading to many and especially to an international audience with different types of leadership (eg a president)
- especially since the original source for this was the British broadcaster. While it’s not the norm, he would still have the ability to resign immediately and have someone act in the interim (unless I’m mistaken) until the new leader is selected or force a new election.

(The new link and headline are now accurate and reflect the actual situation.)
It seems to me many people are so amazed by the fact they for once had an original thought that at this moment they stop caring whether it is actually a good one.

It is crucial to maintain mental flexibility and one does that by thinking things through, killing your darlings, admitting when ideas are wrong or simply just mediocre. Only because it was me who had an idea doesn't mean I have to defend it at all cost. The idea isn't me.
Obviously not as easy to screen for, but this is a very clear indicator of how strong the known adverse effects of plasticizers are.

Also, macOS devices are not very good inference solutions. They are just believed to be by diehards.

I don't think Digits will perform well either.

If NVIDIA wanted you to have good performance on a budget, it would ship NVLink on the 5090.
Yeah it's good, and tech evangelism is just marketing.
Memory bandwidth is the most important thing for token generation. Hardware support for FP8 or FP4 probably does not matter much for token generation. You should be able to run the operations on the CPU in FP32 while reading/writing them from/to memory as FP4/FP8 by doing conversions in the CPU's registers (although to be honest, I have not looked into how those conversions would work). That is how llama.cpp supports BF16 on CPUs that have no BF16 support. Prompt processing would benefit from hardware FP4/FP8 support, since prompt processing is compute bound, not memory bandwidth bound.

As for how well those CPUs do with LLMs. The token generation will be close to model size / memory bandwidth. At least, that is what I have learned from local experiments:

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

Note that prompt processing is the phase where the LLM is reading the conversation history and token generation is the phase where the LLM is writing a response.

By the way, you can get an ampere altra motherboard + CPU for $1,434.99:

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-rack-altrad8ud-1l2t-q64-22-amp...

I would be shocked if you can get any EYPC CPU with similar/better memory bandwidth for anything close to that price. As for Strix Halo, anyone doing local inference would love it if it is priced like a gaming part. 4 of them could run llama 3.1 405B on paper. I look forward to seeing its pricing.

> how to get the maximum seigniorage for the central bank

If I were the state I wouldn't be targeting wins by removing the value from people's hands through small scale things like collectibles where there still production element involved. I'd try to push it further into completely virtual worlds. Bitcoin comes in mind as a perfect tool for long-term removal of value from potential materialization in the real world that would use resources of the planet.

I can see how the US state is involved in orchestrating bitcoin. Lots of value has been transferred into bits on the blockchain. The blockchain itself is slow which prevents people from moving coins around and pushing them further holding longer. It's also prone to mistakes which further destroys value. It was also a good way to teach people to check all details in the real world.

The US and others have full visibility into all movements of coins which is great for controlling money flows. Creation of new economic models allowed to capture bad elements of the society in the process. And the global construct of bitcoin pulled value out of the whole world creating another win for the US.

I would like for cryptocoins to keep increasing in prices so more people could lock the value they hold. As long as we maintain the idea that some control virtual worlds that value never has to materialize in the real world keeping the planet better for everyone. Of course, electricity was spent on it but relative to the $2T of value captured in a virtual world, it's amazing ROI. Plus we got infrastructure for AI just in time.

“During a speech trumpeting the network computer for the Harvard Computer Society earlier in December, Larry Ellison, Oracle chief executive officer and Apple board member, responded to a question about Apple's role in the NC space.

Ellison said the Macintosh NC would be available in April, with a near-300-MHz processor and a 17-inch screen. The Mac NC will run on the Mac OS and cost less than $1,000, according to attendees. Ellison added that the NC would not ship with a hard drive, but one could be added to the unit for an additional $100. ”

Life expectancy is, perhaps counterintuitively, not highly connected to health care. The major factors contributing to the gap between US and Canadian life expectancy are car accidents, homicides, and cardiovascular disease, and CVD differs wildly depending where you are in the country; there are states that lead the G7 in CVD outcomes, and others (like Mississippi and Alabama) that look like developing-world countries.

None of this is to defend the US system in particular, which wildly overspends on the outcomes it achieves. But generally, when it comes to managing chronic and acute health conditions, those outcomes are very good.
The part of the world economy that moves value from one person to another, without creating any value, is zero-sum.
The quotes I've seen mention the maximum config (128GB ram and 4TB of storage) and the minimum price. Nothing saying $3k for 128GB ram and 4TB of storage. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm betting the max price is at least twice the minimum price.

I apologise for my "but, actually...":

Analogue clocks like the face of big ben are not like digital displays, and whether they "show seconds" in the context of the meaning of this article is not, like digital displays, down to whether there is a dedicated hand.

Unlike digital displays, the largest denomination hand on an analogue clock display contains all of the information that the smaller hands do (depending on the movement in some cases).

The easiest way to realise this is to imagine a clock without the minute hand. Can you tell when it's half-past the hour? You can. The hour hand is half way between the two hours.

Again, it depends on the movement, but it is not out of the question that your minute hand is moving once every second, and not every minute. It is down to the number of beats per unit time for an analogue display as to what the minimum display resolution is (regardless of if the movement is analogue or digital itself).
Absolutely not. Just like every developed country, there is a continuity plan in case of issues. The deputy leader of the party in power is supposedly that person. That the Governor General then appoints that person Prime Minister is an implementation detail.

It's just that in Canada, that continuity plan is reserved for unfortunate deaths. When a PM wants to resign, they basically do what Trudeau did; they announce their party will do a leadership race while they stay on as PM.

Except these aren't pages. They're slides in a carousel. There's no data to load. The markup isn't substantively changing. But instead of just translating an element, if a user clicks on the next button, we make an http request to a server, wait for the server to receive it, wait for it to generate a snippet of html, wait to get it back, and then drop it in. That's a pretty laggy UI. And as a result of that replacement, you lose the focused element and any possibility for animation.

What happens when you click quickly? Does the UI just freeze until it eventually loads... some slide? What if you want a touch carousel using scroll-snap? How do you destroy and replace the entire section without interrupting the user?

You're right about how IQ is measured with 100 being the average and, generally, 15 points being a standard deviation. But numerous tests also record raw scores and these can be compared between generations. Scandiland and other places with compulsory conscription + IQ testing are the goldmine here. This is what led to the observation of the 'Flynn Effect' - the observation that IQ between generations was increasing, and later to its apparent reversal that generally started sometime around 1990 in the developed world. [1] That paper reports a later date, because it's about America in which studies on this topic lagged substantially behind Europe.

It's not easily explained by things like immigration since it is also present (though less pronounced) even within families. The hypothesis I find most compelling is that IQ levels have "naturally" been declining for decades, but improvements in nutrition, education, etc were helping to offset, and even rise beyond, these declines. But as nutrition, education, etc reach the point of diminishing returns, the declines dominate.
