Oh it's a temporary 42 day one :c. I assumed it was permanent and that Hamas would not give away all their leverage (the hostages) in exchange for only a pause in the fighting.

No, you're right - they just wore them down.

To: "But you can't "take" a deal your counterparty refuses.", I meant that, several times there were articles saying a ceasefire was near, negotiated by a third party, and in those it has been Israel rejecting it for being permanent and not temporary.

That’s because several people (and also EY, their auditor at the time) resigned in the wake of that report. Probably under pressure and lots of stress but also because of all the things that the initial independent investigation suggested needed to be reviewed. But now multiple investigations have completed those reviews and found nothing. And Supermicro has to fill vacant positions.

EDIT: since I am rate limited, here’s my reply to the child comment by gmd63

> Why would an investigation committee need to recommend that a company fill vacant financial and accounting executive positions? What you're saying makes no sense.

There are many reasons this can make sense. In this case, the most likely reason is that the allegations called into question the integrity of the executives and the board. New executives would be hired and approved by the same group, and it would look strange for them to do that while under investigation. The most important finding from the investigation is neither management (executives) nor the board acted improperly, which led to them making the recommendation.
The reason nuclear isn't price competitive with renewables—or anything, really—is because of the amount of safety regulation and lack of experience building plants. Both of these emerged, at least in part, from decades of protests from well-meaning people with a laughable misunderstanding of how radiation works. So, you get people saying "don't build nuclear, it's unsafe!" and then you demonstrate that it's as safe as any energy technology in existence, so those people say "okay fine... don't build nuclear, it's expensive!" when they are the reason it's expensive. Meanwhile, we managed to create an irreparable 1.3C rise in global temperatures while waiting for solar, wind, and battery to catch up to where we could have been 70 years ago.

What special sauce do they have to run 400B models fast exactly?
I think this is untrue. The government wanted to shut down TikTok, but it can't just outright ban it because that's a clear violation of the first amendment, so it came up with a way to ban it indirectly. That was their intention all along.
> You might think "something something incentive systems". No. At my big tech job I had the pleasure of interviewing a few programmers who worked for a large healthcare company that engages in regulatory capture. Let me assure you: They. Do. Not Care.

Regarding programmers specifically I can concur, but with a caveat. Devs often care quite a lot about many things, but often one of those things is not doing the job they were hired for. The tedium of building software for businesses, even what we now call "big tech", is universally unappealing and definitely not the reason most devs started tinkering with computers. So they care very little, and it shows in the tech taking over the clerical aspects of every day life.

I’m talking about the skytrain, where they paint arrows on the ground to tell you where to stand to await boarding.
I completely agree. The author is attributing apathy to every action or inaction of everybody they see.

Just take the banal examples, like the person listening to their headphones. Maybe that person is listening to an audio book about medicine, because they are in medical school, and they really care about being a good student. Or the people taking up the whole escalator. Maybe they are old friends who have the opportunity to be together, and they care about listening to the conversation. Maybe the man zoned out in traffic who doesn't see your signal has his mind occupied by thoughts of his new baby who is sick in the hospital. Maybe the bike ramp was designed by a plucky intern who, despite inexperience, successfully got the entire mile-long bike lane installed in the first place.

The author is entirely wrong because they are myopic. It isn't that nobody cares, but rather that _everybody cares_. About different things, but the author has no insight into this and it's not their place to judge those things in the first place. They reach a good conclusion though, which is to change the things they care about with personal activism.
A bit flip is a rare occurrence in an array typically tens of billions large.

The chance that the flipped bit changes a bit that results in a new valid state and one that does something actually damaging is astronomically small.

Meanwhile LLM errors are common and directly effect the result.
> Do you also object quarks and gluons having "color" charge?

No, because no physicist tries to argue that "color" is an appropriate term because of some physical interpretation that involves actual physical properties of colored objects.

This author, OTOH, appears to be arguing that "stiffness" is a better term than "mass" because of some physical interpretation that involves actual physical properties of stiff objects. An analogy with quarks would be to argue that "color charge" is an appropriate term because red, green, and blue quarks somehow have actual properties associated with those colors.

> it still doesn't naturally lead to explaining why some forces have limited range the way that term "stiffness" does

I'm not sure the explanation of that in terms of "stiffness" is any better, because in the setting where the term "stiffness" comes from, there is no such thing as what this author calls a "floppy" object. So his explanation only "explains" the behavior of forces associated with massive gauge bosons at the price of throwing away an explanation of the behavior of forces associated with massless gauge bosons.

The allocation of bridge space to cars is entirely wasteful:

> If the job of the Brooklyn Bridge is to move people between the two boroughs, the reallocation of space from transit to cars has been disastrous. In 1902, one year before the photograph was taken, the Brooklyn Bridge moved roughly 341,000 people a day across all its modes, according to the Federal Highway Administration. It hit its peak capacity a few years later, with 426,000 people using it each day in 1907.

> Today, 125,000 motor vehicles cross the Brooklyn Bridge each day [PDF], as do roughly 4,000 pedestrians and 2,600 cyclists. For the bridge to carry as many people as it did at its peak, each of those cars would need to carry more than three people, but they do not. In 1989, when the city counted around 132,000 motor vehicles crossing, the FHWA estimated that 178,000 people crossed the bridge daily.

> Sometimes it is. Especially, if an adversary is bad to you, you should not be good to him. You should be equally bad, or sometimes worse.

Every little thing the West does is already played up in China and spun as an intentional attack aimed directly at China because the West wants to destroy China. Usually this is conveyed in news broadcasts set to a backdrop of video of various US military exercises.

A lot of the support the Chinese government enjoys comes from people in China generally seeing the country as much better off than it was a few decades ago, and a sense of nationalism and conflating the government, country, and people as one. An attack on China is an attack on all of us is an attack on me.

Whatever you do in retaliation is just building the public and political will, or even public demand, within China for them to take harsher measures or escalate things further.

Despite the government's efforts, the populace is not exactly entirely isolated from the outside world. There are many people who, while maybe not fully distrusting of the government, definitely smell something fishy. They're curious, and they want to and are able to learn more.

Heading into the 2030s, China itself is already forecasting China's going to enter a period of negative population growth. Combined with a variety of cultural forces, this could be even more impactful than in some other countries. And it will only get worse with time. "Better off than we were a few decades ago" may soon become clearly untrue to a lot of people. The government knows this is coming and is trying to prepare by strengthening their grip.

I think a smarter long term move here would be to just... not. Let them yell at the clouds. Make whatever information we can freely available to the curious in any way we can. Welcome those that want to embrace Western values with open arms. Model the world that we think is best.

Rather than giving China the government the tools and ammunition needed to unify the people and rally them behind China the government... let's just wait. When the people feel the government is failing them, instead of leaving them feeling isolated and vulnerable... let them see they have somewhere else to turn.

Or, y'know, escalate this towards an economically and politically unstable nation of 1.5 billion people who think the West is the cause of all of their woes and see how it all shakes out. That'd definitely show everyone we have the biggest dick.

From the same article

> Under international law, the crime of genocide is defined by “the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such,” as noted in the December 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

So can we also say Hamas is genocidal? Because complete success is not necessary, intent matters and magnitudes don't matter. Right? My disagreement is just that - We cannot just accuse one side in this unfortunate event.
Ignoring that Hamas is still in power, the best outcome of this war is destruction of Hizbollah. That was a boogie man that everyone was afraid. Of course it took decades of preparation but the outcome is magical. It's hard to believe that only 1 year ago IDF was afraid to touch a tent that Hizbollah setup right on the border and now it freely bombs them without any response.
IIRC, it was Carl Bruggeman's IPSA Thesis that showed us how to laser out bad cores.
A social media site is not like a company that makes widgets. The latter's profits scale linearly with the number of widgets sold. A website's costs do not scale linearly (at least, not in the same way) with the number of users; much of the infrastructure cost is the same whether 500 million or one billion users are on the site.

It's entirely possible that a TikTok without US users is unprofitable. Especially given that US creators are 21 of the top 50 TikTok users with the most followers. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_TikTok_a...>

PS - That you seriously believe that tens of millions of iPhone-using Americans will buy, carry around, and constantly switch to an Android phone just to sideload TikTok boggles the mind.

These type of people are the people who haven't realized they've been indoctrinated, addicted, and tortured.

They have been induced towards a corruption by dependency scheme in subtle ways, and as a result their rational thought has diminished without them realizing it.

This naturally happens in any totalitarian state where you become dependent on the state for your decisions and values.

Religion in a way used to help protect against this, but with the spread and rise of nihilism and pacifism, religion has taken a back seat especially given the recent controversy and destructive path orthodoxy is taking.

These are the values that are so widely promoted and embedded in things today, following a War and Peace philosophy, which is acceptance of evil, or rather towards inducing a wilful self-inflicted blindness towards evil.

You may find the book "On Resistance to Evil by Force", by Ivan Ilyin, an enlightening read, written around the early 1900s, near the dawn of modern psychology. It discusses the topic of evil, in a objectively tied way (not delusion or mere opinion). It does this in a fairly refined way properly following rational principles, first with definition, and then building from there following Method, and the Hyper-rational practices of that generation. A translation to English only recently became available, it was originally written in Russian prior to and through the Bolshevik/Communist takeover.

There are aspects discussed that you can see were used incompletely in the design of the modern day prison system in the U.S and many other insights.

The book was published to refute War and Peace, since the philosophies written about in that book induce evil over time which follows in line with the Banality of evil (the complacent/slothful) becoming the radical evil (related to the Nazi's, and the Wannsee Conference). A semi-recent movie was produced in 2001, that uses the minutes taken at that conference to depict how it happened (quite excellently, albeit dark). Conspiracy(2001).

The problem with totalitarian regimes is people in these societies will attack those that threaten their belief systems, and that threat might include the imposition of the responsibility of deciding things for themselves.

One can still define a map by taking the fractional part of the matrix-vector product, but the resulting map won't be continuous (with respect to the topology of the torus). In addition, if one wants the map be a homeomorphism (continuous with continuous inverse) then the determinant must have absolute value 1.

LPDDR5x.

Which is way slower than GDDR6x or GDDR7 let alone HBM. I don't expect these machines to be anywhere near as fast as the hype.

256-bit LPDDR5X is impressive, don't get me wrong. But it's impressive for a CPU platform. It's actually pretty bad for a GPU.
I don’t get the need. With gaming there’s a real benefit to having the card close to a display. There’s enough benefit that you don’t mind it being unused 20 hours a day. There’s relatively little benefit to having training happen a few feet away rather than a data center. Solid chance it sits unused most of the time, and when you really need it you run into capacity issues, so you’d need to predict your future needs carefully or be happy waiting for a job to finish.

AI training feels like transport. You rent the capacity/vehicle you need on demand, benefit from yearly upgrades. Very few people are doing so much training that they need a local powerhouse, upgraded every year or so.

Even sharing the hardware in a pool seems more rational. Pay 200/month for access to a semi private cluster rather than having it sit on your desk.
You’re one of those who think the human brain is just an LLM?

It could be possible to use LLMs to build a rube goldberg type of brain or somethingt hat will mimic a human brain but it will have the same flaws LLMs have and will never reach parity with humans. I think AGI is possible but we’re too focused on LLMs to get there yet.

Aid to Germany after World War II under the Marshall Plan totaled $14 billion ($60 billion in today’s value), averaging $272 per capita across participating nations over four years. In contrast, Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have received $1,330 per capita since 1993, or $161 annually, more than twice the per-capita annual aid under the Marshall Plan

My experience with running local LLMs is quite limited, but most tools can split the workload between GPUs (or more commonly GPU+CPU) with minimal fuss. It parallelizes fairly well. There may not be any actual secret sauce beyond just having the necessary gobs and gobs of fast memory to load the model into.
If you are the only person who thinks that it might fail, one cent put options will be free and you can buy them until the price hits zero, and then you can make a cent.

For example, the opportunity to sell $TSLA for $180 in one month costs about thirty cents right now. Keeping this up for ten years would cost $36.
looks fun! screams "junior developer that thinks they need to stand out", peons praise getting a call back to a job application as if getting that is a done deal, but in this industry you'll still have to pass the technical interview which is the real make or break

I've heard about the frictions with getting call backs in the entry level part of the market, and I think its just best to cosplay as senior developer, as its mostly a mindset. you'll lose some roles for your mistakes but there is no passported reputation here, just get employed, wait for some of your coworkers to leave so they can be your collection of references, and keep applying to other jobs.
