> NVIDIAs moat

Offtopic, but your comment finally pushed me over the edge to semantic satiation [1] regarding the word "moat". It is incredible how this word turned up a short while ago and now it seems to be a key ingredient of every second comment.

Strong referrals almost always leads to a job that your network can place you in. You might have limited options for companies and teams, based on who is in your network. If the job market is abundant then having a strong referral is less valuable, but is often the best path to more senior positions. If the job market is not abundant then a job referral might be a way to be placed in a position in weeks instead of months.

people are just more focusing on the political side of it
Not even the experts, the MBAs did. Then the JDs did the lobbying to make sure government agencies were powerless to stop them.

In reality, there was not a single "expert" in the room. In fact, if you were "expert" in any field other than business or law, you were very likely removed as a candidate to even be one of the people chosen to be in the room long ago.
The problems look important but underexplored
We'll check in again with him in 3 months and he'll still be just 1 piece away.
> The part of this that doesn’t jibe with me is the fact that they also released this incredibly detailed technical report on their architecture and training strategy. The paper is well-written and has a lot of specifics. Exactly the opposite of what you would do if you had truly made an advancement of world-altering magnitude.

I disagree completely on this sentiment. This was in fact the trend for a century or more (see inventions ranging from the polio vaccine to "Attention is all you need" by Vaswani et. al.) before "Open"AI became the biggest player on the market due and Sam Altman tried to bag all the gains for himself. Hopefully, we can reverse course on this trend and go back to when world-changing innovations are shared openly so they can actually change the world.
It’s a funnel for foreign bribes. That’s literally the only utility of these Trump coins.
Did a private equity fire truck industry worsen the Los Angeles fires?
It absolutely is. Packages are zipped once and downloaded thousands of times.
We're not as far apart as you might think. Clock time is correlated with performance, but by no means determinative. More important is initiative, enthusiasm, leadership, reliability, etc. All in, I work very little overtime.

And you're right, this is a marathon, and working sustainably is absolutely the most important thing. One can do both. If you love what you build and you're leading a balanced life then I would say you're Doing It Right.
At a previous employer they were using helmfile. I don't remember what exactly I needed to do but I needed a value to be templated by helm _after_ helmfile had done its work (iirc) and ended up having to write along the lines of "{{ `{{` }} .Values.something {{ `}}` }}" but actually had more levels of nesting which required use of `printf` iirc and I don't remember how I actually solved it.

My point is though that using string templating for YAML creation is IMO always a bad idea and using helm for anything more complicated than the most basic application always makes me sad in the end. helmfile adds another templating layer and my limited exposure to it made me really dislike it.

edit: I remember now that this was for rendering config for vector, which itself has templating support with the famous `{{ .key }}` syntax. So not entirely helmfile's fault, but I still stick to my point as I needed to get through 3 levels of templating.
China tried to create a homegrown CPU 15-20 years ago with their MIPS variant but that died out. I think this time they are much wiser and will pull it off. In 5-8 years we may have China CPUs dominating the Asian market at least.

Riscv leading to more open designs is wishful thinking, plus probably a large dose of PR. MIPS has been open for years and how many open source MIPS desisgn have we seen so far?
Surely this is entirely the opposite of proving a negative? It's a direct, testable, provable claim.

From TeamBlind's Meta channel:

"I’m not even exaggerating. Management is worried about justifying the massive cost of GenAI org. How would they face the leadership when every single ‘leader’ of GenAI org is making more than what it cost to train DeepSeek V3 entirely, and we have dozens of such ‘leaders.’ DeepSeek R1 made things even scarier. I can’t reveal confidential info but it’ll be soon public anyways.

It should have been an engineering focused small org but since a bunch of people wanted to join the impact grab and artificially inflate hiring in the org, everyone loses."

o1 does not show the reasoning trace at this point. You may be confusing the final answer for the <think></think> reasoning trace in the middle, it's shown pretty clearly on r1.
> one nice thing they have here is an extremely negative view on overtime, making it very encouraged to remain within hours

Wait until your probezeit ends and your POs metrics get strained.
Not really sure what you’re referring to here. There’s multiple AI companies around who routinely pay expert ICs close to a million a year.
Of course it is. That how the airlines stay in business.
And this is why competition is a good thing. Silicon Valley keeps trying to create monopolies for the purpose of maximal profit extraction to the detriment of American technological development, or they use money and brute force as a substitute for actual innovation and get worse results.
Generally living in massive empty spaces. On which energy is spend to heat and cool... And these empty spaces increase distances that we must travel...
> for ICEs it usually revolves around changing the oil and filters, it doesn't include comprehensive checks of the car's functionality.

It actually does. The list of the checks is different and expanded by each new year and one can find it in the vehicle booklet.
Yeah, but what always happens is the more you give, the more they squeeze, until you have nothing left.
Hard to think they plan to, PRC strategic companies that gets competitive gets entity listed anyway. And CEO seems mission driven for AGI - if US going to limit hardware inevitably then nothing to do but go gloves off, and try to dunk on competition. At this point US can take deep seek off appstores but what's the point except to look petty. Eitherway, more technical ppl have pointed out some of the R1 optimizations _only_ make sense if Deepseek was constrained to older hardware, i.e. engineer at PTX level to circumvent H800 limitations to perfrom more like H100s.

Throwing this model out also gives US allies soverign AI a launchpad... reducing US dependency is step 1 to not being US allies.
Good luck! As the sibling comment mentions, Asm-Pro is IMO a good choice these though it requires KSv2+ (so you can't use it on an stock A500). I mostly use vasm for "larger" stuff though (http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vasm/) and cross-compile (though it can run on Amiga as well) / test in an emulator.

For a quick test/code loop nothing beats the Asm-* family - remember to save often and make backups though :)
There's also the shifting over-correction from "stack ranking is problematic and risks lawsuits about bias in performance counting" (because no one trusts performance metrics anymore) and 1 becomes "layoff a 'random' 5%" because "random" is the new "fair".
People with experience+talent in ML
Nice. Thanks for showing.

The different flavors of simultaneous invention shared in the thread makes me think there's some kind of underlying shared need/value in this sort of thing!
Doesn't make sense.

1. American companies will use even more compute to take a bigger lead.

2. More efficient LLM architecture leads to more use, which leads to more chip demand.
It's different because other securities have a fundamental present value of future cash flows. You expect corporations you buy stocks in will pay dividends and/or be purchased by another corporation that does.

If stocks get too expensive or too cheap from what people's estimation of that present value is, we know a correction will come at some point. It always does.

But with crypto, there's utterly on sense of "too expensive" or "too cheap" or "correction". It's just betting on betting.

Regular securities are fundamental value plus limited speculation. Crypto is purely speculation that is unbounded. Two totally different things.
Oppo Teases ' Thinnest Foldable' with Apple Device Comparisons
I draw the line at doing work that I can be proud of. That doesn't mean going out of my way and overworking myself, but it does mean being a good person to work with and writing quality code.

I tend to stick to the scope of work asked of me (though not always) for the reasons in the article, but I don't just phone it in. I put effort into writing good code, tests, and PR reviews.

In my experience, when it comes to getting the next job the only thing that really matters either way are references. If you were a too co-worker and did at least put in the effort to do good work within bounds of the scope asked for, you shouldn't have a problem.
That means it’ll never be used. ffast-math is verboten in most serious codebases.
Not a clinical psychologists, so something about grains of salt.

I use term 'highly functioning sociopaths', you can see them often in management since they are attracted to pay, power and percieved 'prestige'. You know the types - smart, hard working, ruthless, learned to fake genuine nice emotions and human interactions to almost perfection over years at least under normal, controlled, and previously experienced settings. Once some novel bad situation happens, cracks start to show.

Banks and anything re finance is probably the highest concentration. Another areas are those with real power, whatever that means. Its trait like every other, not binary but gradual. In my experience its more 1/3 of these in middle management, C suite most probably majority. Can't be a nice guy and get, survive and even thrive there.
And this would change how? If you needed to learn to read it before despite being able to use OCR, why would this new tool allow you to not learn anything?

Or, to get back to my original comment, if it's ok to be illiterate, why would you need weeks to learn using an alternative OCR tool?
I'm rooting for DeepSeek (or any competitor) against OpenAI because I don't like Sam Altman. I'm confident in admitting it.
Tires as well.

People think in terms of food packaging, and they certainly should. But the danger is actually everywhere in our modern life. The cars, the homes, the clothes, the food, the phones, the computers, the blankets, the sheets, the carpet, and so on and so forth.
Would this not mean we need much much more training data to fully utilize the now "free" capacities?
I believe Qantas will be offering Sydney to London direct on a newer A350 variant latter this year. Should be about 20hrs direct.

Travel to europe is a bit of a pain in that layovers and scheduling can easily blow it out to 30+ hours today, especially if going to a secondary market in europe. It makes the ~14 hours overnight to the US west coast seem very reasonable in comparison.

Then there's China filing a patent for an underwater cable cutting technology. This can't be just a coincidence. Cable and pipeline cutting near the Baltics have increased sharply since the war started in 2022.
I understand now what you mean. The thing is that TB doesn't transfer its resistance to other pathogens like MRSA does. It develops resistance via a different mechanism (mutations of its genome) then MRSA does (horizontal gene transfer).

Thus, you have a misconception about the nature of TB resistance. This accounts for the pushback. People tend to forget that we all have different knowledge bases and we talk past each other.

Have not read the full article but I suspect the dosing and size are unrealistically high.

Smaller particles resulted in fewer obstructions

...and that suggests the whole "nanoplastics" scare is another stupidity which is a moot point anyway because monomers and short-chain polymers are very reactive and unlikely to even persist for long.
That would be a red flag to me.

They're just looking for the next fool to squeeze.

>Cal-Maine Foods, owns practically every brand of eggs in the case: Farmhouse Eggs, Sunups, Sunny Meadow, Egg-Land’s Best and Land O’ Lakes.

I wonder what else is inaccurate in this article...

"As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, Cal-Maine Foods is one of the largest producers and marketers of shell eggs in the United States. The company has a significant market share in the egg industry, often reported to be around 20% or more of the U.S. market."
Íslenskur? :D

IMO using string templating for creating structured data in a white-space sensitive configuration language always ends with pain and cursing beyond the most basic application manifests. I'm not saying Terraform or HCL is necessarily the solution either but it certainly wouldn't be Helm in my book.

It's a shame language like CUE or nickel didn't take off for this.
I don't see the theater as bad or good. If anything, it's slightly good.

It gives people an out; a soft landing. Being fired because you suck is going to destroy your confidence and tarnish your work reputation (because layoff is public).
China's DeepSeek AI sends tech stocks reeling
This appears to be a poorly done study-- they're showing the mechanical effect of possible blockage, but they haven't shown that microplastics here are any different than particles of other inert substances found in our environment: clays, silt, organic debris, etc. Those have always been in our drinking water and the immune system deals with what gets into us.

Employee headcount is also evaluated less favorably when potential investors evaluate the company's health. They're implicitly seen as a promise to continue paying them in the future, whether that's materially different from what the company does with contractors or not.

And some of that is probably fair. As an employee, a layoff of a bunch of employees is a lot more troubling than a bunch of contractors not having their contracts renewed.
You would definitely need to convert to static HTML or the forum software would be exploited at some point in the future. Doing that while keeping URLs intact is not trivial.

I totally get your point and am pro non-deletion, but it really is way less work to just delete it all.
I agree yes, CLI tools should not come in docker packages. I'd also blame python for that, it's harder to package.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely would love for everything to just be statically linked and packaged in a single binary (an approach that works great on windows usually). And you are right that "over using" docker is kind of a trend, but I think it's due to a problem (packaging apps in Linux) rather than being a problem by itself.
He carpetbagged every company he is associated with.

I think you somehow missed the fact that this wasn’t the standard fizzbuzz, but rather a contrived, convoluted version thereof. Of course they were looking for a clever solution, because any solution that satisfied those rules would be clever by necessity.
If we expect that the demand for GPT-5 in AI compute is 100x of that of GPT-4 then if GPT-4 was trained in months on 10k of H100 then you would need years with 100k of H100 or maybe again months with 100k of GB200.

See, there is your answer. The issue is the compute of GPUs is way to low yet for GPT-5 if they continue parameter scaling as they used to do.

GPT3 took months on 10k A100s. 10k H100 would have done it in a fraction of a time. Blackwell could train GPT4 in 10 days with same amount of GPUs as Hopper which took months.

Don't forget GPT3 is just 2.5 years old. Training is obviously waiting for the next step up in large clusters of training speed increasement. Don't be fooled, the 2x Blackwell vs. Hopper is only chip vs. chip. 10k of Blackwell including all networking speedup is easily 10x or more faster than the same amount of Hopper. So building a 1 million Blackwell cluster means 100x more training compute compared to a 100k Hopper cluster.

Nobody starts a model training if it takes years to finish... too much risk in that.

Transfer model was introduced in 2017 and ChatGPT came out 2022. Why? Because they would have needed millions of Volta GPUs instead of thousands of Ampere GPUs to train it.
Without going into the 50 different things that go into a good photo, where you position yourself and the light are important. Being technically sound (correct exposure, depth of field) is the floor, then where the light is coming from, its quality and feel, there is a ton that goes into this. This is why Garry Winogrand’s street photography looks so much more powerful than some random person’s photos walking around with a point and shoot.

I agree with you, I basically never take the staged photos (don’t have a self timer on my cameras anyway) but just snapping the shutter when people are doing things isn’t enough. I have boxes and boxes of photos of my family that I’m not even spending the time to scan and color correct because it’s not worth it. The great ones combine good light, technically correct, and an interesting subject.

Switching to a shared cache in the fashion of pnpm would eliminate far more redundant downloads than a compression algorithm needing 20x more CPU.
Well, if they're talking about a licence being granted for something in the UK, you know it's getting serious.

I do wonder about the utility of this. You'd think that in Europe, there are better places to launch a rocket if you're trying to do it efficiently. Shetland is "a subarctic archipelago", meaning it's going to be cold most of the time, not to mention remote. You're also fighting against physics because the further you get from the equator, the less the planet "slingshots" you into orbit. I would think southern Italy would be a better place, though it's probably far more densely populated and you're more likely to hit something precious if your rocket doesn't work.
They include executive pay of all their suppliers :P
I agree with your comment. I have never been laid off, and I hope I don't ever do or at least I see the signs early on to be prepared.

The way I see "work" is that you are going to spend 8hrs of your day doing it, so you better feel positive about it and enjoy it. I couldn't care less about the corporate lords and I very well know I am just a line on an excel, but when I work I want to be sure I feel satisfied, I enjoy it and build trust with my team and meaningful relationships where possible.

I am not a religious person, but there is a famous saying in Hinduism - कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन |
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि|| It roughly translates to "You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction."

I love the last line of it where it says "don't be attached to inaction" which means just because the fruit of labour isn't in your control, doesn't mean you can just start behaving like a someone who doesn't care.
No, it never came across my mind unfortunately. There are a handful of relations between each table for my schema design, so never though CSV would be viable for my use case.

The TUI is the frontend for the schema. You can do all CRUD with the UI, and I designed it to be able to add multiple records quickly, with input modes and templates!

It was at 40% when he started. A 10% increase is not good, but with the high inflation and other economical problems it was not clear that doing nothing would keep the poverty at 40%.

The most recent reports say that it's now at 37%, it's probably correct, but take all reports with a grain of salt.
> "socialism", "communism",

Both of them as Marx defined them are incompatible with other ideas and so deserve slurs. There are progressive ideologies with influence from Marx that do allow for other ideas to exist. There are many people who will throw away all of liberal philosophy for pure socialism. As soon as you allow for the liberal differences in outcome you have to agree for there won't be true socialism and you have to debate what (if any!) level of safety net you provide and further accept there should not be agreement. This isn't just that we won't agree, but the strong statement that an agreement would be a bad thing.
