> You’re basically guaranteeing a virtual switched circuit

Which means you need state (and the overhead that goes with it) for each connection within the network. That's horribly inefficient, and precisely the reason packet-switching won.

> An internet based on ATM would have been amazing.

No, we'd most likely be paying by the socket connection (as somebody has to pay for that state keeping overhead), which sounds horrible.

> You could now shave off another 20-100ms of latency for your FaceTime calls, which is subtle but game changing.

Maybe on congested Wi-Fi (where even circuit switching would struggle) or poorly managed networks (including shitty ISP-supplied routers suffering from horrendous bufferbloat). Definitely not on the majority of networks I've used in the past years.

> The horror of packet switching is all the buffering it needs [...]

The ideal buffer size is exactly the bandwidth-delay product. That's really not a concern these days anymore. If anything, buffers are much too large, causing unnecessary latency; that's where bufferbloat-aware scheduling comes in.

> Deepseek chat thinks its GPT-4

This might seem like a quibble, but I believe the mental-model is important: LLM's don't "think they are" anything and cannot "recognize themselves." They just extend story-documents with fictional characters in them.

In this case, Deepseek associates "you are an assistant for a CLI tool" with a fictional character that goes "Hello, I am GPT-4", in the same kind of way that "you are a well-illuminated reindeer" leads to "Hello, I am Rudolph the red-nosed."
> you wouldn't have needed to tune your car radio at all

You still need to tune it but there are many "center frequencies" that can be tuned instead of just one. So, you wouldn't have to tune far but you would still have to tune :) If you had a knob like most radios in the 80's it would save you from cranking the knob several times to get the dial into the right range before fine-tuning.

* Wrote this on my cell phone. ;-)
I used to type "New Zealand Bank Holidays" but now my expectations have changed - my expectations of what a search engine can be has evolved because I have tools in other areas of my life that are smarter and getting better, and I expect Google to get smarter and be better. I dont want to query Google the same way as I did in 2015, because it's 2025.

The answer I want is NOT a list of public holidays, thats an intermediate. The answer I want is a single word, "Yes" or "No" that's what I want.

I can ask an LLM to refactor my codebase and then help me write a GLSL shader to display electron densitry grids and it gets it mostly right. The difficulty of getting such a complex query mostly right is WAY harder than answering my basic /basic/ question about public holidays.

Asking "Is Monday a public holiday in Auckland" is a BASIC query I expect google to be able to answer now.

I'm an engineer and have been a dev for 20 years, I know that the holiday query involves a realtime lookup of the current date and time, and possibly another query to get the holidays, so it might not be as straight forward as a forward pass through a deep net, but this is GOOGLE we are talking about, what the HELL have they been doing for the last 5 years?

The thing that really irked me about the response was that the one it gave me was SO worthless, it gave me a very bad impression about Google instantly because I thought "This thing is dumb as hell", no AI response and just a list of holidays would have been better.

That's one of my pet peeves on hn, the comments on microplastics studies, or I guess any in-progress science in general. If it's a study on the level of microplastic contamination the environment, or levels and sources of exposure, or to what extent it enters the body, people complain that we don't know yet if they cause harm. When is a study on potential harm, people complain that other substances might also cause harm. They complain generally that the studies don't have total answers, without understanding that this is how science gets us to the big picture.
> that is what the system rewards

Commensurate to the risk, of course. If you ignore the risk component then your best bet is to forget having a job and spend your days playing Powerball. The system offers much, much, much greater reward there.

If you keep risk in mind then it's not so clear cut. Staying at the job you have, even with lower pay on paper, may end up being the most profitable option in the end. But sometimes you just have to make the gamble and find out! There are winning opportunities for sure.
As a maintainer: some issues take longer to triage than others. Especially if they are not CRITICAL, and there's a huge holiday season in the midst of it. :)

Yeah, for now I'm focusing on doing English search well before I tackle additional languages. It's some effort to get it working well for any given language, and I don't think a search engine that doesn't work well is going to make anyone happy.
I suspect that’s intentional. Not all writing aims to be pleasurable, and I suspect the parent comment illustrates the gut-wrenching pain of war really well.

The obvious point of a model that works like this is to see if you can get better prompt understanding. Increasing the resolution in a small model would decrease the capacity for prompt adherence.

That could happen. All automation is made by labor. Then the capitalists who by definition own the means of production can fire people since they own the automation that labor created. And why wouldn’t they? It’s in their own rational self-interest.

That feels like the correct way to think about it. Everyone else seems to think it's one extreme or the other but really thinking about it on an individual level vs a company level seems more accurate to my own experience.
> ASML plunge indicates a hysterical/irrational component to the response, right

But don't forget about the hysterical/irrational component that also causes prices to go up when investors are all worried about FOMO. Of course, sure, ASML isn't going anywhere, but their stock price isn't based on them "sticking around", it's based on the idea that growing usage of AI will require exponentially more computing power over time, and DeepSeek kinda put a pin to that balloon.
No the policy was extermination of the Jews. Babi Yar, the destruction of Vilna, the murder of nameless villages now lost to us all took place from the very begining.

Both the straight and twisted path interpretations acknowledge that Hitlers intention was the destruction of European Jews, and that the Nazi state carried it out with little resistance with the fact widely, unmissibly known.

I think people are missing one very sympathizable effect of this joint research, that it prevents either country from gaining an offensive edge from dual-use research that could be used for bio-weapons. You could argue that this has the benefit of preventing a bio-weapons arms race.

IMO not so much as "where are we" as "where are they", west was always going to have reckon with competing with PRC who is on trend to add more STEM than OECD combined or US adds new people. And eventually this will apply to India as well. Arrogance doesn't help, but at some point reality of high value regressing to mean because magnitude more smart brains is involuting the margins out of everything. PRC competitors likely also getting creamed by deepseek as well. The running joke in China is when China does something advanced, that thing is no longer considered advanced since China very good at driving costs to nothing and commodizing advanced into common which ironically hurts PRC from getting into the true high value game.

I don't understand this criticism.

His code only got weird and clever when he was told not to use numbers. That is a very reasonable consequence for such a huge restriction.

Maybe, maybe not. If you are on a bandwidth limited connection and you have a bunch of NPM packages to install, 5% of an hour is a few minutes saved. It's likely more than that because long-transfers often need to be restarted.

The quicker we make peace with the fact that hard work alone will not get us ahead (in most cases) the better it is for our mental health. We can put as much effort into our jobs as long as we accept that the only guaranteed result is our own joy, pride in our work and nothing else (not even a thank you from suits) is guaranteed.

If we are not able to accept that, then just do the bare minimum like most people. OR find a better job, but there is still no guarantee the new job would actually be better than the old job. But hey, at least we might get more compensation in our new job, so there's that

I was going to buy one of these until I realized it didn't have vector extensions. I expected something with "Performance" and "Premier" in the name to have them. I think some sort of SIMD capability is table stakes for a lot of workloads these days, so I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a CPU on the market that supports them. I've heard that the vector extensions being stateful makes them particularly hard to implement, which makes me wonder if there needs to be some sort of simpler-to-implement version which mirrors more traditional SIMDs like AVX2 and Neon.

A few anecdotes about TB:

I was diagnosed with a latent TB infection received from a family member back in the early 1990's as a teen. I believe city and state departments of health must've tracked the "outbreak" back but I don't think it was ever on the news or made a big deal of. By the time we were diagnosed, the family member's symptoms weren't anything worse than their typical smoker's cough and was a heavy cigarette smoker anyway, not sure how active his infection actually was at the time but he never required hospitalization, just similar antibiotics, IIRC.

I was treated with Isoniazid (known as INH, one pill daily for a year), I never felt any symptoms from the infection or side effects from INH, they monitored monthly initially with skin prick tests then chest x-rays and after the year was up, I was done. This did prevent me from donating blood a few years after the infection was cleared; I assume there are still rules in place.

Neither the latent infection nor the year long treatment were harsh. IMHO, TB's a powerful but rather slow-moving internal infectant, and it was historically ravaging because of the earlier conditions of the world and lack of medicine at that time.

Although in 2 dimensions (setting of OP), this isn't that bad (you waste a proportion of (1-pi/4), or 21%, of your samples) -- perhaps 21% might be worth worrying about for some applications.

Of course, it gets much worse in higher dimensions, because the unit ball is much smaller than the unit cube there.
