This is exactly where project digits comes in. Nvidia needs to pivot toward being a local inference platform if they want to survive the next shift.
It should be about raising the bar, not lowering it. You’d grow if you weren’t the smartest person in the room. Unfortunately this stance prevents one from seeing that.
It seems like it wouldn't be hard to support a vendor-specific function parameters attribute like __attribute__((ptr_in_section(".data",".rodata"))__ or __attribute__((ptr_not_in_section(".stack"))
Ask HN: Catch 22 problem. Cant login to my yahoo email with correct password
ASK HN: I Can’t Log in to My Yahoo Email Address with the Correct Email and Password

I’ve found myself in a catch-22 situation. I lost my phone, along with the SIM card.

Now, when I try to log in to Yahoo using the correct email address and password, it asks me to verify my identity through the phone device I’ve lost or an old email address that I’m also locked out of.

I went to the Yahoo website, but for premium paid support, I need to log in to my account—which, of course, I can’t do.

I tried calling Yahoo’s preiumum support number for paid support, but it says it doesn’t recognize the phone number I’m calling from and then disconnects.

I contacted my phone company to get a replacement SIM shipped to me, but they want to send a verification code to my Yahoo email—the one I’m locked out of.

I tried updating my email address on my phone account, but it also wants to send a verification code to the Yahoo account I can’t access.

To make matters worse, I have so so so many developer and online accounts tied to this email address, and Yahoo isn’t giving me any options to contact them directly.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

What do you think ASI will be?

We will only advance in AI if one day AI learns from itself otherwise we don't need AI. Because AI learning from itself at X times faster than humanity is the reason we want to get there in the first place.
> If gen Z and Alpha don’t die from aneurysms at 45, then yeah, I guess we could assume it isn’t dangerous.

I think this is still overly alarmist. Plastic production basically started really ramping up in the 1950s in industrialized nations-- thats 75 years ago.

Yes, you can argue that exposure might have increased significantly since (+ bioaccumulation etc.), but excess mortality should've been roughly proportional, and I'd argue that it's implausible for "plastic lethality" to stay hidden for so long (I fully agree that it's not pretty that the stuff is everywhere nowadays, but I think "next generation is all gonna die from this before they get 50" is just not reasonable to assume, and we arguably cause much bigger problems for the next generations already anyway).

> I’m just tired of this kind of things : conglomerates are putting X everywhere, and then we have to prove that X is indeed dangerous, when they should be the ones proving that it isn’t.

I think this is a luxury problem-- you might be very willing to forego all remotely risky innovations/technologies now-- but you are rich compared to a person 75 years ago (and we reaped lots of benefits from that risk already!).

De-risking everything might look attractive in hindsight, but it is unclear what you would have lost to such a policy: Possibly a big chunk of modern material science, electronics, communication technology, ...

It is easy to downplay all that today, and pretend we never really wanted smartphones anyway, but I'm skeptical that the average person a hundred years ago would have seen this in the same way.
This article is wrong in so many ways and not generalizable. I can see on bigger companies, you may be an excel sheet row. But, the reason why someone would get laid-off is the exact opposite IMO - not adding value. But in a smaller early stage company, you are responsible for team's success or failure and you are the only reason why someone are getting laid-off.
> This SoC has a 1.4 GHz, quad core P550 cluster with 4 MB of shared cache. The EIC7700X is manufactured on TSMC’s 12nm FFC process

> Next up is TSMC’s 12 nm FFC manufacturing technology, which is an optimized version of the company’s CLN16FFC that is set to use 6T libraries (as opposed to 7.5T and 9T libraries) providing a 20% area reduction. Despite noticeably higher transistor density, the CLN12FFC is expected to also offer a 10% frequency improvement at the same power and complexity or a 25% power reduction at the same clock rate and complexity.

They optimised for density and power, not frequency. A lot of the benefit they're claiming comes just from this.

it means they can serve more with what they have if they implement models with deepseek's optimizations. More usage doesn't mean Nvidia will get the same margins when cloud providers scale out with this innovation.
Maybe? You’re literally forcing water under high pressure across a plastic membrane, to me it feels like that would add a tremendous amount of microplastics to the water. I don’t know what the answer is though since I can’t seem to find any real studies around this.
The author seems to have just discovered that capitalism does not have loyalty to anyone other than the shareholders. And those shareholders do not care whether you have contributed to their profits much more than anyone in the recent past - if it looks like they can make more profit that quarter by laying you off, they do it.

Maybe we should start calling this the "enshttification" of work? As capitalism is enshttifying everything, it was unimaginable that work would not get affected...

Likewise. I grew up in the UK and there was no pushback at all from what I remember.

Although I do remember school being very strict about anyone whacking someone elses BCG arm.
How realistic is blocking anyway? Europe’s sactions on machine parts towards Russia are just being bypassed by buying via intermediaries in countries which are not sanctioned. I dont see how this can be different for tiny computer chips.
This seems quite interesting, I'll probably read it later.
"Computer graphics from scratch" by Gabriel Gambetta is also a good resource if you want to write a renderer
It's a good point. As much of a miracle as rubbers and plastics have been.. There is a downside. A revolutionary innovation/invention would be some kind of passive cleaning system..
Oops, fixed: https://github.com/insin/comments-owl-for-hacker-news/blob/m...
Both "disruption" and "banks" are very broad terms. The three common subtypes of banks (retail, commercial, investment) live in different planets as far as infrastructure, products, business models etc.

So called "fintech disruption" typically concerns just retail banking and is basically just: use an "app" instead of physical branches to cater to the mobile-native generations. Nothing that any old bank cannot also implement as an alternative channel.

Real disruptions do happen every once in a while and involve new financial products and business models (securitisation, derivatives etc.). But these are typically driven by legal rather than digital innovations.
So you don't have to spend a lot of time cleaning up their messes.
Looks very nice.

> $50 billion can be afforded by WAY WAY more sites and companies

Spending $50 billion to do $6 million worth of Ai training seems like a good way to trigger a golden parachute and "spend more time with your family" as a CEO.

Huh, I never really thought about it, lol. It was just the first thing that came to mind. I'm in the US and I think it hear it from time to time, but usually in silly contexts. It's just a fun word to say... we probably butcher the pronunciation, but we say kah-poot, like a sneezing owl.
Baldly accusing someone of bad faith is serious business, and I believe against the rules of this forum. It is way worse than calling out what you believe are bad arguments, as it's a slur against someone's integrity and character. Rayiner doesn't deserve that.
This is a very negative to look at employment in general:

Whatever the skill - pushing rocks up a hill or pushing code into a repo - someone with power over you is taking half your waking day to generate disproportionate compensation.

I personally see the alternative viewpoint which is I am able to provide for my entire family a life of non-work because I sacrifice 50% of what would be idle time without them.

Ultimately you need something to do during your waking hours. I give 50% to the company and 50% to my family.

> no particular connection between a fund's risk and tax exposure

They seem to be posting a lot of word-salad comments, but assuming good faith, they're saying these are separate downsides of mutual funds over ETFs.

Mutual funds trade on your behalf, like an ETF, but they pass through the gains and losses. That can be painful if they realise those gains when you'd rather not have them, or crystallise losses when you don't have offsets. In this, they're correct. On risk, they're wrong--you can stuff nonsense into ETFs as comfortably as mutual funds. What they're indirectly criticising here is active versus passive management, which is its own can of worms.

The only advantage of a mutual fund over an ETF is it provides friction to trading. Otherwise, they're a vestige from the cusp of computerised portfolio management. (If you have more than ~$1 to 10mm, you should be rolling your own portfolio in most cases.)
Privileged spec is only a couple years old and mainline Linux only runs on RISC-V since 2022 or something like that.
I don't know if I'd call Microsoft lazy. Are there any existing operating systems that allow preemptive scheduling across cores with different ISA subsets? I'd sort of assume Microsoft research has a proof of concept for something like that but putting it into a production OS is a different kettle of fish.
That doesn't make any sense. At least in the USA, if the school is paying you then they have to issue you either a W-2 or 1099, regardless of whether they label it as a salary or stipend or whatever. Mortgage lenders are accustomed to verifying income from sources like that, it's not complicated.
Why is AI slop so easy to spot but hard to detect?
You can link openscad to a slicer, at least in the dev snapshots, press F8 and your model opens in your slicer of choice.

Makerworlds customizer is simply a web version of OpenScad. Upload your OpenSCAD script and good to go
Yes, so Chinese did what they are best at, taking something working (foundational model which is free), copying it and improving it.

Nothing special to see here.

The good thing is that Chinese models are dependent on open sourced US models.

I wonder, will Meta's next models remain open source? Zuckerberg might change his mind.

Who knows, maybe even US will dictate that no US model is allowed to be open sourced lol. I mean the restrictions but US government in AI have been crazy, especially the last ones by Biden administration.
Exactly. Apps can be differentiators.

Also, large banks fundamentally work. People with money want excitement and disruption away from their money.
Just feeling how far they can go. No-one wants to sound the war or article 5 horn. Also, seeing if the White House has any opinion on the matter - now there is a new person in charge that Russia really desired to have there.
I hadn't thought about the DeepSeek angle. But yes, I would say that in general, any data coming out of China ought to be viewed with the assumption that it has been massaged, especially since China itself probably does not know the truth!

For those who can't read WSJ, Wikipedia has a summary <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_China#Disputes_over...>:

>"We do not know the true number of China’s real growth figure", Gao Shanwen, chief economist at SDIC Securities and adviser to the government, said at a Peterson Institute event on 12 December 2024. He thought that the economy had grown by about 2% annually, compared to the official 5% figure. Gao expected that the economy would grow by 3–4% annually over the next several years "but we know the official number will always be around 5%". His words reportedly caused the government to ban Gao from speaking publicly. While he did not lose his job, the Securities Association of China ordered brokerages and investment firms to make sure that their economists "play a positive role"; those that do not obey may be fired. In January 2025, Xi aide Cao Qi ordered propaganda officials to block negative economic news.
I've been laid off a few times in my 35-year career. Being laid off felt like a betrayal to me for a long time. But I was operating under a false model: that because I worked hard and did good work, that the company would value me and take care of me.

I also used to shake my fist at the bad outcomes of stupid decisions made by people above me.

It took me this long to realize that this is all a game of chance. Me choosing a company to work for is me playing the odds. The decisions my superiors make are bets, too. And sometimes, even good bets don't work out.

It's still worth it to work hard and deliver what your management wants in spades. I've been brought along to any number of new employment opportunities because I'm remembered well for being a person who did those things.

I've come to see my career as a series of stops, and my current stop is just what I'm doing right now.

Their point wasn't reference checks it was the power of a network of people who want to work with you again because they know your work is more than just transactional.
I think that the reason NPM responded this way is because it was a premature optimization.

If/when NPM has a problem - storage costs are too high, or transfer costs are too high, or user feedback indicates that users are unhappy with transfer sizes - then they will be ready to listen to this kind of proposal.

I think their response was completely rational, especially given a potentially huge impact on compute costs and/or publication latency.
Indeed. Although I find it increasingly hard to find work that aligns with my expectations about technical excellency (too many companies chasing big returns on half-finished products for example) or even methods of creating software. This is hard to manage from a personal perspective but I guess life goes on... I wholeheartedly agree with the author - life's too short to be wasted on work that may get you some good words in one quarter and not matter the next.
On the flip side I’ve worked in 4 companies over 12 years and 2/4 were jobs that I got because I knew someone. The other two, a significant cohort of the people who worked there knew each other from previous workplaces.

Nobody is getting jobs without any interviews, but people are absolutely getting interviewed before/without a job listing, or starting the initial screen with recruiter/hiring manager with an upper hand of “Mike said you’re good to work with”. Even at a 1000 person company with HR.
The effect’s source is much more direct than that.

It’s not a reference check to see “is sam0x17 a good dev?” at the end of a hiring pipeline, but rather “I’ve got an open role and remember that sam0x17 is one of the best devs I’ve ever worked with; let’s get them into the company!”
Still no...

It's dependent on the speed of sound, which is only dependent on temperature, not specifically altitude contrary to popular belief.
I'm wondering if there's a (probably illegal) strategy in the making here:

- Wait till NVDA rebounds in price.
- Create an OpenAI "competitor" that is powered by Llama or a similar open weights model.
- Obscure the fact that the company runs on this open tech and make it seem like you've developed your own models, but don't outright lie.
- Release an app and whitepaper (whitepaper looks and sounds technical, but is incredibly light on details, you only need to fool some new-grad stock analysts).
- Pay some shady click farms to get your app to the top of Apples charts (you only need it to be there for like 24 hours tops).
- Collect profits from your NVDA short positions.
It is obviously a serious problem for other countries in multiple ways. For one, China could use this dam to simply limit water supply to the countries downstream such as Bangladesh or India, which they’ll use as a threat to manage sanctions or UN votes or whatever. Second, all this infrastructure in Tibet is helping China complete the illegal annexation of Tibet that began around 75 years ago. Third, there are risks of reservoir induced earthquakes from giant dams, particularly in that region.

India has stated strong objections to this dam for a long time, from what I read. It’s curious why China decided to go ahead with it now when they backed off on the project previously.
It is a possibility, but my understanding of what OpenAI has said is that GPT-5 is delayed because of the apparent promise of RL trained things like o1, etc. and that they've simply decided to train those instead of training a bigger base model training on better data, and I think this is plausible.
> As a step along that journey, P550 feels more comparable to one of Arm’s early out-of-order designs like Cortex A57.

If it is as fast as a A57 on similar node, that would still be a major win for RISC-V which so far has been incredibly slow. The Nintendo Switch 1 uses Cortex-A57.

Exactly this. I worked for a place long ago, where we had this junior guy who basically didn't have a life. He just wanted to code. He stayed late every day, and would occasionally come in on the weekends and code all day. He was not making any extra (in fact since he was junior he was probably making much less than the rest of the team). He was not angling for a promotion from what I could tell. He just liked to code and that was his entire life. Well, his manager gave him some public praise once over E-mail, basically saying the project was moving along much faster due to how productive you are. That's all it took. Suddenly, the whole team felt pressure to pull 60-80 hour weeks and burn themselves out. And we didn't really get that much more done, because it was 80 low-quality burned out, demoralized hours, not 40 high-quality hours. The team eventually disintegrated along with the company during one of the tech downturns. All that wasted stress because one guy doesn't have a family or hobby.
that's true with publicly traded C-corporations

for private companies, it literally is the people you work with (and whatever legal enchantments they've decided on). some of those people will still fuck you over, but it's not a legally-conjured sentient pile of money the way a C-corp is

B-corps are an interesting attempt to avoid being a sentient pile of money. in theory, it's an egregore that is capable of valuing things other than money. (they haven't really been tested in court. and they might fuck you over in pursuit of some other value, even if they do work. or fucking you over for money might not conflict with its other values)
I'm not sure placing first in Chatbot Arena is proof of anything except being the best at Chatbot Arena, it's been shown that models that format things in a visually more pleasant way tend to win side by side comparisons.

In my experience doing actual work, not side by side comparisons, Claude wins outright as a daily work horse for any and all technical tasks. Chatbot Arena may say Gemini is "better", but my reality of solving actual coding problems says Claude is miles ahead.
Technically, you could do this in Mylio but probably not in the way you want.

Mylio stores “Live Photos” as
Photo.extension <- the “photo” it shows in the interface
Photo.xmp <- all the metatdata
Photo.myb <- everything else

Literally the myb is just a zip of everything else associated with the photo. So in the “Live Photo” case that would be the associated video file. If you have edited the file in Apple photos that also includes the XML Apple uses to non destructively perform the edit. As well as a copy of the original photo.

In your case you could just manually create the myb file by zipping up all the associated extra photos and changing the extension.
However the interface would only show the single main photo.
I understand. But what I'm hoping for feedback about is: would I lose a lot of potential users of my utility if I write it in Python and require them to have uv, pipx, etc.? Because I could write it in Rust and just provide it as an executable. But Python would be easier for me as the developer.
Run DeepSeek R1 Dynamic 1.58-bit
While NPM is open source, it's in the awkward spot of also having... probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of professional applications depend on it; it should be run like a business, because millions depend on it.

...which makes it all the weirder that security isn't any better, as in, publishing a package can be done without a review step on the npm side, for example. I find it strange that they haven't doubled down on enterprise offerings, e.g. creating hosted versions (corporate proxies), reviewed / validated / LTS / certified versions of packages, etc.
Yeah... the overenthusiastic tool bringing up labor intensive ideas for minimal gain just means I can't hit the gym at lunch. Not putting up with that so a meaningless metric can go up by 0.5%.

Recovery of 3k archaeal genomes in 152 terrestrial geothermal spring metagenomes
But NPM has no proof their dashboard won't light up full of corporate customers panicking the moment it goes to production; because their hardcoded integration to have AWS download packages and decompress them with a Lambda and send them to an S3 bucket can no longer decompress fast enough while completing other build steps to avoid mandatory timeouts; just as one stupid example of something that could go wrong. IT is also demanding now that NPM fix it rather than modify the build pipeline which would take weeks to validate, so corporate's begging NPM to fix it by Tuesday's marketing blitz.

Just because it's safe in a lab provides no guarantee it's safe in production.
