Can't read the article, but it's about postdoc.

- Many people who did a PhD and didn't want to do research don't do a postdoc

- I would say, "40% have left so far'. Following the same cohort for a few years might yield even higher numbers (because as long you haven't made your mind about quitting research, you are still a postdoc and not accounted for leaving, even it's your 10th year...).

One place where all LLMs fail hard is in graphics programming. I try on and off since the release of ChatGPT 3 and no model manages to coherently juggle GLSL Shader Inputs, their processing and the output. It fails hard at even the basics.

I guess it's because the topic is such a cross between fields like math, cs, art and so visual, maybe for a similar reason LLMs do so poorly with SVG ouput, like the unicorn benchmark: https://gpt-unicorn.adamkdean.co.uk/
I have laptop equivalents in the same memory range and is at least $2,500 cheaper.

Unfortunately, it does not have "unified memory", a somewhat "powerful GPU", and of course no local LLM hype behind it.

Instead, I've decided to purchase a laptop with 128GB RAM with $2,500 and then another $2,160 for 10 years Claude subscription, so I can actually use my 128GB RAM at the same time as using a LLM.
I don't think anyone serious was ever claiming they weren't trying to "replace jobs with AI", except maybe as a PR thing. Indeed this claim falls straightforwardly out of the numbers: Human labor is the most expensive component of most industries in the developed world, so naturally we'd like a subsitute. It's a much more obvious near-term target than, say, innovating over a decade or two to reduce the global price of commodity rice by a cent per kilogram.

ML papers by Western universities barely touch on the problems that practitioners face.

The only papers I see that are routinely useful have half the authors having a .in or .cn email at the end with the rest having Indian and Chinese names in US institutions.

The only western papers which aren't extended advertisements for their company are from people who are making something for themselves.

For example the best paper on image classification I've ever seen was posted on a private discord and was about better labeling the parts of a vagina as part of a stable diffusion training pipeline.

I used the methods without change and got better than state of the art for document segmentation.

my personal perspectives

1) straight up copying. download a bunch of copyrighted stuff -> making a copy. no way out of this one.

2) a derivative work can be/is being generated here. very grey area — what counts as a “derivative” work? read about robin thicke blurred lines court case for a rollercoaster of a time about derivative musical works.

3) making the model so so? do you mean getting an output and user copying the result? that’s copying the derivative work, which, depends on whatever copyright agreement happens once a derivative work claim is sorted out.

that’s based on my 5 years of music copyright experience, although it was about ten years ago now so might be some stuff i’ve got wrong there.

Not necessarily. A three or four year PhD in Europe is a short time to acquire a solid network (a lot of time is spent in training, unless the student is very proactive) and not all PhDs broaden their horizon to have a well differentiated topic to pursue after the degree. I would argue that true independence is actually acquired in the early postdoc years, but it requires a lot of work and a lot of luck.

TBH, 40% attrition rate is less I expected. Since each academic can train more than one PhD and postdoc every few years, which is the case, some attrition is required because the system cannot grow exponentially. The desired outcome in this context is that this talent incorporates to industry or other sectors where this expertise or problem solving skills are not wasted.

It's not "totally hidden". You need to be extra careful to cancel the request to add the new SIM number to FaceTime/iMessage when prompted.

The prompt appears every time the phone is restarted though, and whenever the SIM is switched to.
He assumes the software department wants to do this, which - yes - seems to be flawed logic on his side.

Let's imagine he's indeed correct. He receives the hardware, get's hacking and solves all of AMDs problem, the stock surges and tinygrad becomes a major deep learning framework.

That would be a collosal embarrassment for AMDs software department.
Downvoted into the negative...

Those who downvoted, what is your explanation, then? Unvarnished xenophobia? At least *my* explanation was just greed!
I'm increasingly designing CI stuff around rake tasks. Then I run rake in the workflow.

But that caters only for each individual command... as you mention the orchestration is still coded in, and duplicated from what rake knows and would do.

So I'm currently trying stuff that has a pluggable output: one output (the default) is that it runs stuff, but with just a rake var, instead of generating then running commands it generates workflow content that ultimately gets merged in an ERB workflow template.

The model I like the most though is Nix-style distributed builds: it doesn't matter if you do `nix build foo#bar` (local) or `nix build -j0 foo#bar` (zero local jobs => use a remote builder†), the `foo#bar` "task" and its dependents gets "built" (a.k.a run).

† builders get picked matching target platform and label-like "features" constraints.

Ever since there has been gitlab-runner, I've wondered why the hell can't I just submit some job to a (list of) runner(s) - some of which could be local - without the whole push-to-repo+CI orchestrator? I mean I don't think it would be out of this world to write a CLI command that locally parses whatever-ci.yml, creates jobs out of it, and submit them to a local runner.

> If you're very successful and saturate your market, why build new versions?

I don't think you can ever be saturated in number of customers, if you have a good thing and are on the right track, the moon is the limit. You build new versions to increase the user base.

If you're in a niche market that can actually become saturated, then your customers are likely professionals and willing to pay much more than consumers, since they make money from your software.
Who hasn’t admitted this already, either outright or by their actions?

Going back to the industrial revolution the people who control capital and production have openly sought to replace human labor with automation. Nothing new, just that this time it threatens “knowledge workers” and the techie HN crowd. If you hear someone claim that they want to “advance humanity” with automation they profit from you can safely assume they don’t mean that sincerely.
Why pick up on Meta? OpenAI did this a few years earlier.
Blindly using automation or implementing it with validation will always bite a person in the butt. Been there done that. It is good but it should always be event driven with a point of user validation.
I mean this is a 20-month notice, that's already fairly generous by modern standards.
> I've never found myself wanting a type checker

Do you still write type hints, but not check them? Or just use dynamic typing as in Python 2?

Actually, I guess the first case is really type-hints-as-comments, so isn't substantially different from the second.

> I've been using Python for right about 20 years now

Either way, I've found it quite common among long-time Python users to stick with Python's traditional dynamic typing, whereas newcomers to the language tend to really dislike it in favour of strict static typing. (One exception is GvR himself, who seems to be very pro-type-checking.)

As the second group continue to add increasingly complex typing features to the language, I wonder if Python is becoming less desirable for those in the first group.

True. I missed that. Operating an online social network has nothing to do with manufacturing though.

Actually the solstice occurred on the 25th during the years immediately after the calendar reform of Julius Caesar. This is when the 25th has become the traditional date for what has later been reinterpreted as Christmas.

Before the Julian calendar, the solstices occurred on random dates of the Roman calendar, because the duration of the Roman year differed very much from the duration of the solar year.

Today it occurs around the 22th as a consequence of the Gregorian calendar reform, which has not restored the solstices and equinoxes from the beginning of the Christian era, but those from around 325 AD, when the Christian algorithm for computing the date of Easter has been established (First Council of Nicaea).

Between Julius Caesar and the 4th century AD, 3 days of offset in the solstices and equinoxes had accumulated, due to the difference in duration between the Julian year and the tropical year.

From all what I've heard over the years, they have a problem staffing the service teams. I imagine with the AI craze that just got worse, as they certainly shifted resources to work on that.

If they really have staffing problems, it'd make sense in the short-term to shut down services which don't bring in much revenue. In the long-term that might fire back if AWS customers loose trust in the services they're using still being there in the future.

The obvious solution to a possible staffing problem would of course be not fire a certain percentage of your employees every year.
> Looking at his recent track record[1]

One might argue he's had a pattern for even longer. While he did do some early hypervisor glitching, even his PS3 root key release was basically just applying fail0verflow's ECDSA exploit (fail0verflow didn't release the keys specifically because they didn't want to get sued ... so that was a pretty dick move [1]).

For his projects, I think it's important to look at what he's done that's cool (eg, reversing 7900XTX [2], creating a user-space driver that completely bypasses AMD drivers for compute [3]) and separating it from his (super cringe) social media postings/self-hype.

Still, at the end of the day, here's hoping that someone at AMD realizes that having terrible consumer and workstation support will basically continue to be a huge albatross/handicap - it cuts them off basically all academic/research development (almost every single ML library and technique you can name/used in production is CUDA first because of this) and the non-hyperscaler enterprise market as well. Any dev can get a PO for a $500 Nvidia GPU (or has one on their workstation laptop already). What's the pathway for ROCm? (honestly, if I were in charge, my #1 priority would be to make sure ROCm is installed and works w/ every single APU installed, even the 2CU ones).

> the more people can be prepare

Nope. People will prepare as much as engineers care. But engineers don't care. Educating the people is tedious. It's easier to "manipulate"/direct them, which is the job of representatives, who are about status and money and being groomed by the industries, who are exclusively about money.

People are fine without AGI until they are not. That's another 15 years at least.

If you want to worry, worry about local solutions to climate change mitigation where you need old school manpower, big machines, shovels and logistics.

You added a security processor to your hardware at ring -2, but hardware vendors are notoriously bad at software so it has an exploit that the device owner can use to get code running at ring -2. Congrats, your ring 0 anti-cheat kernel module has just been defeated by the attacker's code running on your "trusted" hardware.

But in the meantime you've now exposed the normal user who isn't trying to cheat to the possibility of ring -2 malware, which is why all of that nonsense needs to be destroyed with fire.

If you see satellites then likely you see even more stars. Unlike satellites the stars barelly move (actually they do, see "proper motion" [1]) relatively to each other, so a catalogue of stars (two coordinates values and two proper motion values) along with the time of observation is sufficient to be used over decades, unlike NORAD orbit elements requiring regular updates. With stars you need just one image at a known time to find your location, with satellites it is much much more complicated: you need to know where the sun is, you need few images of a satellite or even a video (likely on top of image of stars anyway) to distinguish it from the stars and to solve the trajectory.

Does Google have customer support for pixel phones yet?
I bought a pixel a 11 years ago.

The hardware had bugs, which Google concealed and refused to admit existed. There was absolutely no way to contact anyone, no updates or fixes ever issued for the problem, essentially everyone was completely ignored like no company I had ever experienced before.

It was impossible to even get exchanges or returns.

Has anyone with a recent pixel device had issues? If so, have you had any success in real customer support?

I'm not talking about some FAQ or forum where other customers help, that just happens to be hosted on Google's servers. I mean, could you easily get exchanges and returns? Could you contact, well, anyone? Anyone at all?

I'm thinking of diving into the Pixel world again, and would love to know first.
