>Beyond that, Intel recently updated their manual to retroactively define the behavior of BSR/BSF on zero inputs: it leaves the destination register unmodified.

This is very nice of them to do, but I found while optimizing a routine in protobuf that BSR is dramatically slower on AMD CPUs than LZCNT, and so I never want to use it again - it's pretty rare to have a function using BSR that can't use CLZ instead, and CLZ is faster on arm, AMD, and equivalent on Intel since haswell.

I believe there is also some errata where on some processors Intel LZCNT had a false dependency for the output register as an input, probably because of this BSR behavior, but compilers will insert a self-xor in loops where that carried dependency would matter.
In some sense, these terms are extremely trivial to adapt: the German term for sharding is just a literal borrow, just say 'sharding'.

What's almost impossible to translate are everyday words. German Brot has rather different connotations from the nasty stuff Brits call bread, but I don't think there's a better word available, and a straight-up borrow would feel fairly weird in most context. Much weirder than borrowing 'sharding' in a technical context.

> The only real solution is to adopt them to your language, more or less adapted, which is what happens over time.

You can see some good examples of that when you look at railway related terms in German. They used to be all English, because that's where we got the technology from. But over time they have been replaced with mostly German native-looking terms. (Well, native looking, but many of them like Lokomotive re-created from the same borrowing from Greek or Latin as in English. But eg station is now Bahnhof. And train is Zug.)
Isn’t Alphabet and other tech companies technically Irish owned? Doesn’t Saudi Arabia own a chunk of Twitter? Seemed like the whole ownership ship justification is a cheap canard.
If your 'opinion' consists of demonstrably wrong accusations to individuals and other proven lies, it is not political speech.
Why do you insist on lies being political speech? You can hat your government without lies, I do dislike mine and have no need for lies when talking about it.
Same to you: do you actually? Because I don't use a single device where I'm loading more into memory than it's designed for. If you're a 100 tab kind of person, there's help, you don't have to suffer yourself in silence. And if you open so many logs at the same time as to memory constrain the device you're using, that's the proverbial "are you sure you're not doing it wrong?"

So again: which editor are you using that's not currently loading your logs in memory? Because that's still not been answered. Hell even emacs and vim do that, so what are you even doing? what are you using that makes this solution loading data into memory not okay when even the most hardcore unix user's "pry it from my cold dead hands" tools already do exactly the same?
Your mistake is assuming I'm thinking about any sort of legal definition. Adversarial nature doesn't require or government to declare it for it to exist.
Social media algorithms are nuclear bombs for the mind. And they are beholden to whoever holds the detonator. It just happens that a lot of people are happy with China holding it.

When the mind-reading algorithm provides each user with their own reality to live in, then we are talking about editorializing. And allowing a communist, anti-Western government direct control over that power does not seem reasonable.

inb4 "better than my own government" - great, we agree that social media algorithms are a net negative to all society.

Communications is great. Video is great. Social media algorithms controlled by rage-inducing profit seekers and governments is not great.
I think the way it works when you get bacteria into your blood is either you have no noticeable symptoms, or you get a high fever and almost die from sepsis.
Always driven by money. McD's is cheaper and easier to mass produce. Wild catch changes when it is no longer economical to fish one kind of fish. There's never an "enlightenment" of people.
The emissions from vehicles are different from plastics produced by factories.

Also, while important, 2-3% of world emissions is a drop in the bucket compared to the other 97%. Let's consider the other causes and how we can fix them.

Think about this: for many people, not driving to work is a big deal. If people collectively decide to do that, that's a lot of effort and inconvenience just for 2-3%.
1. Is the impression they decided to use a non datacenter location to put their datacenter,
If so that is not a good idea.

2. Geographical distanced backups, if the primary fails.
Without this you are already in trouble.
What happens if the buildings burns down?

3. Hooking up with "local" ISPs
That seems ok. As long as ISP failing is easily and
autoamically dealt with.

4. I am a bit confused about what happens at the edge.
On the one head it seems like you have 1 datacenter,
and ISPs doing routing, other places I get the impression
you have compute close to the edge.
Which is it?
The end goal isn't to preheat the fuel, it's to keep the heat from escaping, because you want all the heat to go into the sodium.

The heat is being used to generate electricity.
Nowadays, it's true they usually use watts.

But not too long ago (and still very common in office-building server rooms) they use "tons of refrigeration", which takes its name from the amount of power it takes to phase change a ton of water in 1 day. It is 12k BTU/h.
They'll have to build new power generation and build the data centers next to it.
I had fun playing. It took me 3:14 seconds to play, which, I think, is great!

I will note that I was a little confused at first since I must have read the rules too quickly. For some reason I was thinking that you only needed to include two of the starter letters.

Anyway, am I correct in saying that each word must contain all of the letters in the shorter word directly above it? I might be misunderstanding, but isn't that essentially the same thing as what you currently have: "each word should ... contain both the starter letters and the letters of the shorter word"
There are a large number of reasons the AI datacenters are geographically distributed--just to list a few off the top of my head which come up as top drivers: latency, data sovereignty, resilience, grid capacity, renewable energy availability.
If schools get $20k+ per student, but somehow fails to keep AC working, then it is a clear case of extreme incompetence at best, likely pointing to criminal levels of mismanagement. You don’t solve that problem with shoveling even more money into the fire, you fire everyone involved and start over.

But this isn't going to happen by itself. We need to vote for people who believes in regulating these corporations (rather than deregulating them).
People who chant RSS seem to never get this. Publishing is trivial, search and discovery is all that matters, saying “pick your own service (separately) for discovery” is like saying write down int main(), now write down the rest of the program and you’re done. What the hell is that service? That’s 99% of the work.

In addition, only discovering feeds (followed by chronological aggregation of said feeds) is crude and outdated. Anyone who has subscribed to hundreds of feeds can probably tell you how great the signal to noise ratio is. It’s not. And that’s just for subscribing to blogs that tend to be on topic, throw in microblogs (Twitter and clones) and you quickly get all kinds of nonsense you don’t care about, e.g. baseball and politics if you follow John Gruber for Apple news. Realistically there are a small handful of really high quality feeds you don’t want to miss, and for the rest you want to follow topics, not people. TikTok lets you effortlessly do that; traditional RSS subscription model doesn’t, and no one has built that “your own service for discovery”. Ironically Reddit may be the closest thing for the following topics part, if you ignore all its problems.

There was an article on HN a couple years ago that goes into more details: https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2020/8/3/tiktok-and-the-sorti...
The few studies on "video games cause violence" I've seen have been extremely limited in scope. They're too concerned with short-term frequency of playing particular games, or desire to play them. They're not concerned enough with the influence of being quite familiar with such games, or how cultural prevalence of such games normalizes thoughts of certain behaviors and shifts the Overton window. There are also selection bias problems. I'd expect media and games to more greatly affect people already psychologically unstable or on the criminal fringe... not people likely to be study participants.

Studies on sexual violence and changes in that over time have even more problems, for example how difficult it is to get average people to report accurately about their private relationships. Those people likely to volunteer accurate information are not necessarily representative.
Read the sources carefully. It all boils down to "US officials says so". It's different from the Podesta hack as forensic evidence were published linking Russian hackers to the attack.

One of the most crucial points "Training an AI model emits as much as 200 plane flights from New York to San Francisco"

This seems to come from this blog
https://icecat.com/blog/is-ai-truly-a-sustainable-choice/#:~....

which refers to this article https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/06/06/239031/training-...

which is talking about models like *GPT-2, BERT, and ELMo* -- _5+ year old models_ at this point.

The keystone statement is incredibly vague, and likely misleading. What is "an AI model"? From what I found, this is referring to GPT-2,
For background, this is because the `undo` itself is an operation pushed onto the top of the stack. It is a little counterintuitive.
So you’re saying that if everyone would flat out starve to death, they would not, or could not, spend that amount of time/money/energy to not starve to death?

I’m not saying it would be pretty, or that people wouldn’t die.

I’m just saying that actually doesn’t sound impossible.

Far more effort than that was expended per person in WW2, and that wasn’t nearly as severe of an existential threat.

Hell, in this case it would be an obvious/visible, sudden, external, non-human existential threat, so would be ideal for uniting humanity on somewhat common grounds.
1. No, they're using a cage inside a real data center in Ashburn VA which is basically data center city.

3. Yes, routers automatically deal with ISP failures.
>What's almost impossible to translate are everyday words.

That is very silly: just because German bread is different from British bread doesn't make the word "Brot" almost impossible to translate.
What are they doing in the Philippines? Dumping household waste straight into the rivers?
Although you're right, it's a little misleading.

The point is that governments won't pay any price, they usually negotiate a (good) price given their buying power. As you say they may not buy it, but countries that dictate a price (generally) cannot force a company to supply it.

Ultimately it comes down to market forces, even if the market looks very strange, with essentially one buyer and one seller.
There's a good argument for separating content from discovery. Originally, Google was pure discovery - all you got was the page's link and maybe a line of description. If antitrust law was used to separate discovery from content, transmission, and aggregation, Google would be forced back into their original niche. They'd be a much smaller company, of course.

There is no merit, nothing to discuss. I linked the corresponding GitHub below so you can judge for yourself.
I'm doing some genealogy work right now on my family's old papers covering the time period from recent years back to the late 17th century. Handwriting styles changed a lot over the centuries and individuals can definitely be identified by their personal cursive style of writing and you can see their handwriting change as they aged.

Then you have the problem that some of these ancestors not only had terrible penmanship but also spelled multi-syllabic words phonetically since they likely were barely educated kids who spent more time when they were young working on the farm or ranch instead of attending school where they would've learned how to spell correctly.

I don't know whether your LLM can handle English words spelled phonetically written in cursive by an individual who had no consistency in forming letters in the words. It is clear after reading a lot of correspondence from this person that they ignored things that didn't seem important in the moment like dotting i's or crossing t's or forming tails on g's, p's, j's, or even beginning letters consistently since they switched between cursive and block letters within a sentence, maybe while they paused to clarify their thoughts. I don't know but it is fascinating to take a walk through life with someone you'll never meet and to discover that many of the things that seemed awesome to you as a kid were also awesome to them and that their life had so many challenges that our generations will never need to endure.

Some of my people have the most beautiful flowing cursive handwriting that looks like the cursive that I was taught in grade school. Others have the most beautiful flowing cursive with custom flourishes and adornments that make their handwriting instantly recognizable and easy to read once you understand their style.

I think there are plenty of edge cases where LLMs will take a drunkard's walk through the scribble and spit out gibberish.

I'm reminded of an old joke though.

Ronald Reagan woke up one snowy Washington, DC morning and took a look out of the window to admire the new-fallen snow. He enjoys the beautiful scene laid out before him until he sees tracks in the snow below his window and a message obviously written in piss that said - "Reagan sucks".

He dispatched the Secret Service to the site where samples were taken of the affected snow and photos of the tracks of two people were made.

After an investigation he receives a call from the Secret Service agent in charge who tells him he has some good news and some bad news for him.

The good news is that they know who pissed the message. It was George HW Bush, his Vice President. The bad news is that it was Nancy's handwriting.
Fresh water is finite. Infinite in reuse, but we can only take so much from a river before that river ceases to be. If you have a megabit connection, it doesn't matter that your cloud backups have infinite storage, you are limited by bandwidth.

Water vapor stays aloft for wild, so there's no guarantee it enters the same watershed it was drawn from.

It's also a powerful greenhouse gas, so even though it's removed quickly, raising the rate we produce it results in more insulation.

It's not a finite resource, we need to be judicious and wise in how we allocate it.
Exactly. The abundance of AI-generated renditions of Shrimp Jesus doesn't mean it was trained on actual photos of an actual Shrimp Jesus.

What's so odd about this is that they add the flash ($), but skip the magnetics! It just has series capacitors and I don't think the jack has integrated magnetics since it's small and it wouldn't make sense to have a series cap as well.
I tried it on a VM, it did work. [WIN + R] opens the run app down left in the left corner.

[CRTL + V] pastes a small code snippet in the run app and once [ENTER] is pressed it closes the run app and in the background downloads and executes a larger code snippet from a malicious website.

So if you press exactly what they told you to press it would install a malware on your computer. Now this typically targets people that don't even know what the run app is.

It briefly touches on training, but uses a seemingly misleading statistic that comes from (in reference to GPT-4) extremely smaller models.

This article [1] says that 300 [round-trip] flights are similar to training one AI model. Its reference of an AI model is a study done on 5-year-old models like BERT (110M parameters), Transformer (213M parameters), and GPT-2. Considering that models today may be more than a thousand times larger, this is an incredulous comparison.

Similar to the logic of "1 mile versus 60 miles in a massive cruise ship"... the article seems to be ironically making a very similar mistake.

"Other bad things exist" does not mean this thing isn't bad. Or absolutely could be that all these other things are huge energy wasters AND chat gpt is an energy waster.

We have to stop thinking about problems so linearly -- it's not "solve only the worst one first", because we'll forever find reasons to not try and solve that one, and we'll throw up our hands.

Like, we're well aware animal agriculture is a huge environmental impact. But getting everyone to go vegetarian before we start thinking about any other emissions source is a recipe for inaction. We're going to have to make progress, little by little, on all of these things.
It’s helpful to put this issue into perspective. But dismissing issues as not worth caring about on the grounds that there exist larger problems is fallacious and, to me, quite a dangerous way to live life.

Why does latency matter for a model that responds in 10s of seconds? Latency to a datacenter is measured in 10s or 100s of milliseconds, which is 3-4 orders of magnitude less.
batman-advanced is a pretty interesting choice for a routing / handshake mechanism. Are your own applications mostly focussed on 802.11s Wi-Fi or where does the choice come from?

In Profinet / Ethernet based networks it's more common to use ARP or mDNS for the discovery because multicast addresses are supported everywhere. Multicast DNS would be independent on top of the existing network layer and compatible with smartphones and other consumer devices (and even printers). That's why I'm asking, was there a specific reason to not use mDNS?

Airprint, airscan, filedrop and other things are based on bonjour (mDNS-SD), and supported pretty well on consumer devices and routers. [1]

By TFA do you mean the author of the article? It seems to be using an outdated [and incorrect] claim (as far as I know, GPT-4 has no note of taking 200 flights of energy to train), arguing against it saying that those numbers are especially small, when they are potentially significantly larger.

It is also very common amongst those men who don't claim to support womens rights. It's just that there is no shock about deception. Reading the vulture article, there is attempt to tie in feminism in that article, but looking at details, it doesn't really come into picture - it is just powerful man straight up doing whatever he wants. In case of Pavlovich she was just straight up delivered in his hands by Palmer with Palmers full knowledge on what would likely happen. That is what actually shocks me the most.
