I think the benefits of more AVX-512 stores and loads per cycle is limited because the CPU is bottlenecked internally as shown in the slides from TACC I linked:

https://www.ixpug.org/images/docs/ISC23/McCalpin_SPR_BW_limi...

Your 642 GB/s figure should be for a single Golden Cove core, and it should only take 3 Golden Cove cores to saturate the 1.6 TB/sec HBM2e in Xeon Max, yet internal bottlenecks prevented 56 Golden Cove cores from reaching the 642 GB/s read bandwidth you predicted a single core could reach when measured. Peak read bandwidth was 590 GB/sec when all 56 cores were reading.

According to the slides, peak read bandwidth for a single Golden Cove core in the sapphire rapids CPU that they tested is theoretically 23.6GB/sec and was measured at 22GB/sec.

Chips and Cheese did read bandwidth measurements on a non-HBM2e version of sapphire rapids:

https://chipsandcheese.com/p/a-peek-at-sapphire-rapids

They do not give an exact figure for multithreaded L3 cache bandwidth, but looking at their chart, it is around what TACC measured for HBM2e. For single threaded reads, it is about 32 GB/sec from L3 cache, which is not much better than it was for reads from HBM2e and is presumably the effect of lower latencies for L3 cache. The Chips and Cheese chart also shows that Sapphire Rapids reaches around 450 GB/sec single threaded read bandwidth for L1 cache. That is also significantly below your 642 GB/sec prediction.

The 450 GB/sec bandwidth out of L1 cache is likely a side effect of the low latency L1 accesses, which is the real purpose of L1 cache. Reaching that level of bandwidth out of L1 cache is not likely to be very useful, since bandwidth limited operations will operate on far bigger amounts of memory than fit in cache, especially L1 cache. When L1 cache bandwidth does count, the speed boost will last a maximum of about 180ns, which is negligible.

What bandwidth CPU cores should be able to get based on loads/stores per clock and what bandwidth they actually get are rarely ever in agreement. The difference is often called the Von Neumann bottleneck.
The article captures the loneliness epidemic well but it made me a little sad that it just moves directly into how businesses and politicians can benefit from it. Could the loneliness that people feel even be satiated by the kinds of relationships we had before the prevalence of social tech?

It feels unlikely. Maybe this new loneliness isn’t the same, even as what we’ve grown familiar with through decades of tv and movie celebritydom. Traditional social interactions may feel unsatisfying in comparison to what we now crave. We’re no longer just seeking connection… we want an audience, we want to be heard but not necessarily to hear. This isn’t entirely new, but it seems more pervasive now than ever. The disease of digital loneliness has been manufactured so that the only cure seems to be some impossible hyper-reality where every lonely person gets their own little social media following.

What good is sitting down with someone for a conversation where you may or may not come out feeling anything like the thrill you get with constant interaction and validation? Has loneliness changed into something we can’t fix by putting the phone down? Is there a way back that isn’t regressive? Is there a way forward that isn’t dystopian?

I use it with Arabic and I can say it is pretty good. I don't use technical searches in Arabic obviously but I find the quality of search in Arabic better than English without blocking many sites like I have with English. I live in the US though so the local results is not something I do in non-English.
"The intensity comes down to how grapefruit's compounds mainly furanocoumarins inhibit CYP3A4. Normally, this enzyme would help break down psilocybin into psilocin and metabolize it out of your system. When CYP3A4 is inhibited, more psilocybin remains in your bloodstream longer, allowing for a higher concentration of psilocin to flood your brain at once. This rapid spike in active compound could overwhelm your serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptors, which are the primary target of psilocin." - Found that on erowid years ago, always thought it sounded silly (yet I copied it down ha) - maybe worth giving a go.

It's an interesting event, but this article is a bit misleading, and the title outright wrong : the object did not reach space in any meaningful way, and Robert Brownlee never said that it did. In fact, since meteors with a similar weight coming in at a third of the lower bound of the manhole's velocity can not reach the surface, we can assume that the manhole burned up in the atmosphere pretty quickly.

From https://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Tests/Brownlee.html :

> As usual, the facts never can catch up with the legend, so I am occasionally credited with launching a "man-hole cover" into space, and I am also vilified for being so stupid as not to understand masses and aerodynamics, etc, etc, and border on being a criminal for making such a claim.
You can make a fantastic "mud-slide" with cheap ice cream and premade custard, and of course vodka, kahlua and baileys. So yes, I will admit ice cream to the pantheon. If you go fancy-schmancy and get gelati then I'll even admit fruit, as long as it's a strawberry daquiri
Sibling comment mostly nailed it for me. I was self taught as a programmer and improving my skills (and generally enjoying programming) consumed me for several years.

The whole point of compelling people to take PTO is for the mental health benefits associated with not working- decompressing, resetting, call it whatever you want. I didn't have other hobbies, didn't have money for traveling, and didn't have anyone to do those things with. My social circle was more or less as obsessed as I was. Most evenings were spent watching TV together while we worked on our laptops, either on side projects for fun or actual work.

Had I taken more PTO, my behavior in my off time would not have been any different than that of my work time. I wouldn't have gotten the benefit supposedly derived from being forced to take PTO. The one exception was a few days off to do some home renovation work that I didn't want to try to fit into evenings or weekends.

> TikTok’s LA employees have 10 paid sick/personal (PSSL) days per year in addition to 15 PTO (paid time off/vacation) days

> This week, TikTok’s LA staff are being asked to use their personal/sick days if they cannot work from home due to power or Wi-Fi outages, or if they’re under evacuation orders ... This leaves them fewer days later in the year to use in case of an actual illness or other personal emergency, like staying home to care for a sick child.

> easy to recycle

Maybe. But IIRC practical reality is that no one actually does this, and there is no infrastructure setup for this. Something like <1% of rare earths in product are recycled.

Different take here -

In my career it hasn't mattered if I'm cleaning bathrooms or building Software used by millions of people IF I'm doing it with people I enjoy being around. The people you work with will make or break your career, and (this will be shocking) if you're smart and like working on hard problems you'll end up wanting to be around people who are like that... so choose your direction based on the people.
It is a risk for any company, but the possible harm is variable.

At a prior employer, cloud costs could have doubled or even gone up an order of magnitude and because the margins were so good and the tech costs so low, it wouldn't have mattered and may barely have been noticed. Compute wasn't a substantial business cost in any way, as customers were paying for domain expertise in the product.

At another prior employer, costs scaled with revenue pretty linearly, so while bad, it wouldn't be catastrophic before being noticed as it would also mean increased revenue.

However, for say a company that does video streaming where cloud costs are already enormous, poor cloud usage can cut months off runway. Same with AI, where the money is overwhelmingly being burned on compute.

Cloud waste can happen anywhere, but the harm can range from still a tiny number to destroying the ability to make payroll depending on what you are doing.
My mum was at least honest: she said, "it's kind of like chocolate but not as nice" and I think that's fair.
I'm not sure that's even enough. I have a physics degree and all I've learned is that my stupid brain can't understand those numbers except through equations and relations. I think this is the best you can get.

Money is also very weird since it compounds. Both large wealth and government money are completely different classes, as well as different from each other. People try to think of both those versions of money in relation to how they use money themselves. Which just leads to misunderstandings.
Most companies on earth are small lifestyle businesses and don't want to infinitely grow. They will fire people if they get to make the same money and pay no salaries, instead a few bucks to Microsoft for gpt trained on people they fired.

If you think the world is just wanna be conglomerates and startups you spent too much time with silicon valley type people...

I wish! In Palo Alto the cars have been driving around for more than a decade and you still can't hail one. Lately I see them much less often than I used to, actually. I don't think occasional internal-only testing qualifies as "operational".
Yes. Just using that as an example where "AI" (not the hyped up LLMs) has really helped.
I use it for Thai result (and sometimes English result relevant to the Thailand region). I found the experience similar to Google. Not once that I need to !g, and the times I do wanted to check Google were producing similar garbage. It still doesn't filter blogspams (where a business website would produce low quality content to appears in keywords) nor pushing small websites - forums and personal blogs are almost non-existent in both result pages, even though it might have been popular result when searching for pre-social media era content.

The deranking & blocking feature doesn't help much as it only sort the result. There are multiple "web portal" that may be useful in one category (eg. entertainment news, travel content) but producing clickbaits in other category (eg. local news) so domain-wide blocking isn't exactly usable here.
I think there is a lot of efficacy left on the table with modern studies, clinical trials, and drug development. Most of the work is looking for treatments that work for the majority of the population. If a treatment was effective than standard care for 10% of people, it would be discarded.

It is more economical to start over looking for something that works for 90% of people.

Drugs an treatments aren't evaluated and discarded when proven worthless. The bottleneck is the number of treatments in development, so they are discarded when something else has a better ROI.

They leak data that enables the marketplace they run and profit from. That's the indirection. They count on this obfuscation (lack of an explicit transaction for the bid request data) to keep people from thinking of them as selling data.

Collectively the participants use this data to optimize their future bids and other surveillance/marketing efforts outside the Google ecosystem.

I'm sure Google would prefer there not be any parties involved that are purely leeches. But they may not be able to or may not care enough to tell the difference between leeches and parties that are still working out their infrastructure and bidding strategy and will begin bidding eventually. Or perhaps making a certain number of low bids you don't intend to win is what keeps you in the game.
Why shouldn’t we replace managers and executives with AI, and let the rest of us actually get some work done?
Google used to watermark internal emails using non-visible Unicode. It would catch people copy-pasting things to the press. (This was circa 2010; I don't know if they still do it.)

Printers and copiers have hidden "tracking dots" that can ID the specific device used. Introduced by Xerox in the mid 80s and not known to the public until 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

I think some jobs will definitely disappear / change due to LLMs. It's already happening, I can tell how I personally effectively elimitated 1-2 jobs around me in 2024 thanks to my $10/mo ChatGPT subscription.

I work at a large non-tech company. We have a lot of "Strategy people" and "Strategy teams". What these teams actually do is: create and submit to each other internal plans/KPIs/OKRs, quarterly updates, budgets, and so on. Strategy people are all ex-consultants (many are ex-McKinsey), they have have little domain knowledge.

Before ChatGPT, the way it would go is that they'd ask me something like, what is our annual plan for "AI", what is my quarterly update on "Data Platforms", etc. I'd give them some raw input, sometimes I have to do extra work to make it presentable, sometimes they do most of it. The final product is almost always some sort of PPT. Effectively there's 3 phases:

1. I write actual raw (semi-technical) content: usually about 5-10, maximum a page worth of condensed bullet points. I can do this very quickly, in 10-20-30 minutes, since I just have to throw down what I'm doing all day anyway (well, the teams I manage).

2. Convert those raw points into some sort of narrative (if it's a plan), or summary (if it's an update). What part is relevant for a non-technical exec? What part makes the org look good? etc.

3. Convert the narrative to a PTT.

Before ChatGPT, I would do 1 and some of 2, and the strategy people would do most of 2 and 3. After ChatGPT, I do 1, I use ChatGPT to do 2 (takes 20-60 minutes), and strategy people now only do 3. This means that in our org, ChatGPT has taken out about 1-2 jobs out of the strategy team (headcount was closed).

Once AI is good enough to make the PPTs (upload 2-3 older PPTs to pick up the template and style, plus upload the current narrative, to build new PPT), I will be able to make the whole deck in 1-2 hours, without any strategy people. (Not that I want this, because then I'd be on the hook for the whole process, emailing, etc.) Note that since this is a recurring internal exercise, actual quality doesn't have to be super high.

Perhaps once we reach this level of automation people will notice that the whole exercise is inefficient and look for better ways to manage the company.
EVs (and their resulting large battery packs) haven't been available at scale long enough, but there are already established businesses for recycling standard car batteries and it's why you pay a separate "core" deposit in the US to ensure they go back into the system.

People are starting these businesses already, it's yet another logistics problem to solve. Right now there is more money in pulling apart the packs the using the cells as salvage than there is recycling, but as more and more EVs reach end of life you can bet it will be a sizable market.

> Google’s interests aren’t aligned in the same way Kagi’s are, but if Kagi can’t keep blogspam out of its search results why are we blaming Google when they also fail to do so?

Because some of Kagi's results come out of the Google index, so Google could be doing at least as good a job as Kagi is and they are not.

The idle sleep feature of Go Proxy could be a gamechanger since cheap servers can host lots of infrequently used apps. Guess it should become the standard and extend to background processes too, like a PM2 or Systemd.

It is obvious that tv is blocking on file preview. I can hold up key and zip up and down in fzf. In tv it causes obvious jank, I guess it waits for every file to render. Fzf doesn't make this mistake because preview is async. It's a clear winner when input lag is concerned.

But a suspicious and perpetually young version of him, in the exact same office background and a weirdly off voice, regularly appears in video messages before every earnings call. He speaks of great opportunity and growth for the Meta Quest X, and assures the investors that the scant few humans remaining are perfectly targeted for the next wave of MetaM-8s to find them, corner them, then display enough ads on their chest screen until the victims give in and willingly max out their Bezos Card as each bot meticulously records their frantic taps through the checkout process.

From what sentence? Hell isn't part of the old testament and was borrowed from other religions or later inventions after the torah, it was Sheol.
"The 300 search plan unfortunately just isn’t a very pleasant experience. I’d find myself wincing any time I accidentally typed a query I already knew the result of like Serious Eats Channa Masala into Kagi’s search during my metered month" "...do yourself a favor and jump straight into the $10 USD per month plan"

This exactly. I love using Kagi and felt the relief sweep over me when I went to unlimited. Well worth it to me.
To be clear, you think the change to specifically allow (verbatim from the new Meta training materials)

““Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit,” “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians,” and “Trans people are immoral.””

is a net improvement?
Holy shit though, who thought this email (or Slack message or whatever) in the middle of an ongoing disaster was a good idea? This is the equivalent of asking you to make sure you file your TPS report. Honestly why do they give a shit about the knobs in the RTO portal? They can see if people are based in LA already. Benefit of the doubt, etc.

Can't say I understand how $10/month is expensive.

Quality search results ultimately save time digging through poor quality search results. Add up 300+ searches per month and surely you're hitting minimum wage value at least.

The value proposition is absolutely there at $10.

We're literally extracting, refining, and re-using the information, art, and thoughts of fellow humans to make billionaires money.

This isn't the 90s. Computing isn't about discovery, not in the big leagues. Its about grinding up authenticity and feeding it into a machine to convert it into shareholder value.

If they want the value, let them pay for it or release the models open source for all to benefit.
Ever since Windows 95 Long File Names for FAT, filenames have been 16-bit characters in their on-disk format. So passing "bytes" means that they need to become wide characters before the filesystem can act on them. And case-sensitivity is still applied, stupidly enough, using locale-specific rules. (Change your locale, and you change how case-insensitive filenames work!)

It is possible to request for a directory to contain case-sensitive files though, and the filesystem will respect that. And if you use the NT Native API, you have no restrictions on filenames, except for the Backslash character. You can even use filenames that Win32 doesn't allow (name with a ":", name with a null byte, file named "con" etc), and every Win32 program will break badly if it tries to access such a file.

It's also possible to use unpaired surrogate characters (D800-DFFF without the matching second part) in a filename. Now you have a file on the disk whose name can't be represented in UTF-8, but the filename is still sitting happily in the filesystem. So people invented "WTF-8" encoding to allow those characters to be represented.
So nothing can be slavery if there's any choice at all? By that logic slavery can never exist, because any slave can chose not to work and be killed, kill themselves, run, etc.

At some point you have to draw a line and say, there is choice, but there's not enough choice to say it's not slavery.
