Without a cold war you'd have had some other imperial imbalance. The only reason the Anglosphere and the EU are in alliance is because of a rival superpower. Without the commies to scare the shit out of them, they'd still all be squabbling with each other over colonies, and we'd all probably be working 70 hours a week, as our owners would not feel any pressure to make concessions to labour.

Or, alternatively, there may have well been a communist revolution in the industrialized countries, as opposed to the agrarian backwaters that actually got them.

And China going communist can be blamed as much on things like the Opium wars, or Japan's imperialism, or the international repression of the Boxer rebellion or any of the other things that fueled a reactionary nationalistic fire in it. There's only so long you can keep kicking a country of nearly a billion people before someone gets it in their head to drive out the foreigners, and they usually aren't the type to be winning any peace prizes, if you get my drift.

It's all just a bunch of what-ifs. The only thing that we can know for certain is that the Soviet empire sucked, a lot, especially for its European subjects. Empires tend to. But its existence probably played a major role in decolonization - and wrecking other empires.

Let's say the time spent in lithography step is linear the way you're describing. Even with that, the deposition step beforehand is surface area independent and would be applied across the entire wafer, and takes just as long if not longer than the lithography.

Additionally, if you were going to build a fab ground up for some specific purpose, then you might optimize the fab for those specific devices as you lay out. But most of these companies are not doing that and are simply going through TSMC or a similar subcontractor. So you've got an additional question of how far TSMC will go to accommodate customers who only want to use half a wafer, and whether that's the kind of project they could profitably cater to.
microtargeting specific to individual psychological metrics is indeed a new thing.

Government regulations (like not polluting the water or forcing your workers into 40 hours a week of unpaid overtime) may be part of it. But China has been known to "dump" commodities into foreign markets to destroy those markets

Here's one random article I quacked, and this issue has been going on for years it ain't new:
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/28/business/china-goods-expo...

China has also devalued its currency to facilitate this dumping spree

Another random quack (more on the how than history, but the impacts are detailed)

So the narrative that "the US is choking itself with silly regulations and can't compete as a result" is a pure fiction afaict.

This is the narrative that the extremists want to push, but it’s hardly the truth. Hamas was not some grassroots movement of frustrated Palestinians. It was an Iranian proxy force masterminded, funded, supplied, trained, and instructed by Iran.

There are certainly many angry Palestinians before and after but this is foreign meddling through and through. Hamas would not exist in this form and have done the things that it did otherwise.
Especially since Netanyahu was trying to revive Hamas prior to Hamas's attack, in order to starve off Fatah's Palestinian recognition efforts at the UN, according to the New York Times ( https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-q... )

Very interesting. Am I correct in saying that fault tolerance here is with respect to 'static' errors that occur during manufacturing and are straightforward to detect before reaching the customer? Or can these failures potentially occur later on (and be tolerated) during the normal life of the chip?
I think it is clear to the comment readers that I have not met the author in person and that I wasn't passing a judgement on his whole person, merely extrapolating from the impression of the article.

I, for one, think that is pretty clear from the fact that I don't call the author by their first name. I did not write "Ken you're a smartass." Also, I did not write on his LinkedIn profile, I commented on a specific article.

In any case, it is but one of many comments and by up-/down voting, the community can send a signal to the author (if he reads here) as to whether he appears to be a smartass in this article. I think that is helpful.
Yeah, that's true. I'm not entirely sure how you'd implement it but it would be great if there was options to do the one-class-at-a-time model or the traditional one if you prefer, though almost by definition the public school system is (mostly) one-size-fits-all.

On one hand, you have the Chinese users who are either eager to evangelize for China or unable to complain about China due to censorship rules. On the other hand, you have the American users who hate America and love to complain about it. It's not hard to predict which way that will ratchet public opinion.

Practically impossible, not logically impossible. "For all" proofs do exist in mathematics, but obviously it's very unlikely that you could do such a proof for physical reality.
It's unfortunate that this comment is buried so deep and that generally this topic is under discussed.

Media has always been a force for controlling popular opinion, but in the age of social media it's going to new extremes. There are forces that try to control how you see the world on all social media platforms and do so to attempt to shape your opinions of the world and modify your actions.

You can visibly see Reddit has been completely taken over by bot, shills, and other controlled accounts. There is no sincere, real human opinion posted on the front page.

Even HN is not immune. "Bad news" has long been forbidden here, and there is a range of topics that, even when heavily upvoted by the community, tend to disappear within minutes.

Azo dyes, in the quantities used in food, do not cause cancer. What causes diabetes and cancer is obesity which you're likely getting from consuming the food -- dyed naturally or artificially. The dye is ancillary. People need to eat less of the Doritos, the azo dyes aren't the problem.
This is a really uninformed article that comes off as just plain whiny. Taking the traffic curb example, it's entirely plausible that the person who designed that ramp isn't a cyclist, and didn't think about what it would actually be like to be a cyclist making that curve.

I hired a contractor once, who was a fantastic one. We were designing some changes to one of our rooms, and he had a proposal that would have made for some interesting, yet unfortunate corners in one of our rooms. It would have been more annoying and more expensive, but I don't think for one minute that it was because they didn't care.

They just didn't live in the space, they didn't spend enough time sitting in the problem to appreciate other solutions. I however had, and when I presented them with a cleaner solution, they ruminated on it for a bit and loved it. Saved a ton of time and money, and the end solution was better.

All it took was a conversation, and building a shared understanding of the needs and possibilities.

That’s a good question since usually these are built into the docker-compose by default. I think my answer would be that it’s to get the same build environment on my Mac as on prod (i.e. a Linux server), but in practice I don’t think platform-specific details matter.

If that’s the case, why not run Python/gunicorn locally as well, and drop docker entirely?
This is just stratified pricing. If you're egressing 1.2PB ($50k+ worth of bw on AWS) there's a likelihood that you're earning a fair bit and an enterprise contract will be worth it to you when it comes to support. On the other hand if you're egressing 1.2PB to serve some open model weights that you don't charge for, CF would prefer to leave you to it and enable you to serve.
I attended NixconfNA last year as part of SCaLE.

I spent quite a while trying to understand what Nix was actually trying to accomplish and how one would actually go about using it. Granted I was trying to do it on a Chromebook, but the idea stands: I should be able to get at least the nix environment set up and the silly gnu hello world built and running, right?

Turns out nah. The ergonomics are just that of a hiltless double bladed sword.

The FDA does believe there's strong evidence for its carcinogenicity. Literally the very first paragraph points that out and links to the 2012 publication

> The appeal is to have a diet more in line with our evolutionary past.

Okay, where in the evolutionary past did we eat Doritos colored with annatto?

> A) derive it from something humans have been eating for hundreds of thousands of years and that a couple studies have confirmed is probably safe...

A lot of things we have historically eaten are carcinogenic. Natural flavoring for root beer is flavored with sarsaparilla root. Fun fact, it contains safrole, a known carcinogen.

Carrots, bananas, parsley, black pepper, clove, anise contain alkenylbenzene compounds which cause cancer in rodents.

We've historically eaten coumarin-containing plants (tonka beans, cassia) -- carcinogenic.

Furoanocoumarins in parsnips, celery root, grapefruit, etc, can cause skin burns and prevent many drugs from working (or make them work too fast).

Cassava, sorghum, stone fruits, bamboo shoots and almonds contain cyanogenic glycosides which turn into cyanide when eaten.

Undercooked beans contain lectins, and 4-5 kidney beans are enough to cause somachache, vomiting and diarrhea.

Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants) contain solanine which is toxic.

Various fruits like pineapples have raphides which are sharp spikes made of oxalic acid. If you eat particularly aggressive ones they can even cause bleeding.

The pawpaw fruit that has been eaten for generations contains annonacin, a neurotoxin.

People have been eating (prepared) mushrooms like gyromitra that have gyromitrin (metabolized to monomethylhydrazine, rocket fuel, a neurotoxin) for generations too. It can actually cause ALS over time.

Castor beans contain ricin.

The difference is apparently God doesn't have to publish this information on an ingredients list.

> B) derive it from petroleum (as current US yellow food dye is) that a couple studies say is probably safe.

"A couple studies" is wildly disingenuous. A quick search will tell you as much.

That's fair. I do think China would probably just omit viewpoints rather than outright lie and it'd be hard to detect.

I guess I don't personally fear China as much as Congress does, I view them more as a rival than an enemy. I wish them well, and hope they make more cool apps and games for me to enjoy. And they'd probably love nothing more than for us to overthrow our oligarchs (just like we want to see the fall of the CCP), and that's not necessarily against my interests as a regular Joe.

I can understand why Congress is concerned, I just wish they'd try to address the root of the problem (enforce common safety and transparency standards for all social media) rather than the targeted approach they've taken.
What psyops are you talking about? Is it a bunch of US citizens talking about how they don't like the US bankrolling a genocide? Why is it more important to protect tiktok users from a threat no one can actually point to versus preserving a place a lot of people feel like is very important to their day to day lives? Why are these lawmakers prioritizing this over actual threats like school shootings? Honestly the general opinion is that this is extremely obviously not about national security for anybody I've talked to about this and I can't possibly disagree.
Getting out while they are ahead is a smart move, especially considering multiple governments have started to take a closer look at their shorting tactics.
That's the idea in the article. Just one big chip. But the reason why it's normally done is that there is a pretty high defect rate, so cutting if every wafer has 1-2 defects you still get (X-1.5) devices per wafer.

Urban teachers are not getting rich teaching poor kids. Having seen the classrooms first hand, the kids lives are like a low-grade war zone. Sometimes they even work themselves to pay for their charter school tuition, and keep the lights on at home. Siphoning public funds off to the pockets of PE owned schools is not going to improve outcomes.

Mormons' affluence is in spite of their faith, not because of it. Utah also has more MLMs and scams than most others.

Having lived in a cult-like religion, I'd rather be less wealthy yet mentally well than 'socialized' into magical thinking and all the various idiotic garbage I was taught. Public schools are often one of the only ways kids can escape abusive, exploitive, or otherwise unhealthy circumstances.
I was so proud of my 63 year old mother the day she told me about a slightly similar scam (involving "borrowed" Antonio Banderas photos) that she not only did not fall for, but actually somehow managed to trace the scammer down (through some Google reverse image searching and other Internet "sleuthery" that I would not have imagined her doing on her own). Not only that but she then proceeded to send her conclusions (that it was some French scammer scum and his wife perpetrating all this, and she had proof of who it was) to her little circle of online "friends" that were actually in the act of falling for the scam and sending gifts, money, and whatnot to this dirtbag French scammer couple. Why, I'll never know... Who sends money and gifts to online strangers pretending to be celebrities? Hell, who sends gifts to random celebrities for that matter? Worst part of this story is that most of the "old biddies" actually ridiculed my mother and called her "paranoid" and proceeded to happily get scammed, thinking they were actually conversing online with Antonio himself... Some people are just bound and determined to stay stupid, I guess. Sadly, "A.I." audio/image/video generation has not made this situation any better these days.

> The existing policy (assessed as it works in practice) lowers wages for high-skilled roles

Sure, not because of the law, but because of loopholes around the spirit of the law.

>For the roles I am familiar with the progression is (1) foreigner ineligable to work in US (2) OPT visa (3) H1B visa (4) Permanent resident (5) US citizen.

well yes, that's the point. They don't want international workers to be as easily hired as domestic ones. That's just common policy. Your workaround is just that, a way for the company to get what they want while "complying with law". AKA a loophole that breaks the spirit of the law.

Remember, the US isn't necessarily concerned with the best talent in the world. It ultimately wants to make sure the economy circulates from within.

>While under OPT or H1B visa, you MUST have a job or be deported. Timeframes to find an initial or a new job are very short. This is what gives employers increased power in the relationship, lowering wages and creating the nearly indentured status.

Yes, and I think we can lightly rework this as well. Basically let the H1b "own" the Visa. They find other work in the industry they have a visa in, they are still valid. Breaks all the chains while gaining from their talent.
