I was surprised to find that you can, indeed, get 47 uF 35 volt MLCC surface mount caps, but they'll set you back about 10x the cost of the same capacitance in a surface mount electrolytic. In some cases, it might be worth it.

Most of the repairs I do are to older test equipment and radios, from WWII to the end of the 20th century. Some of the new surface mount stuff is just too small for us to work with. 6TTSOP is a chip 2 by 1.25 mm, and it's really hard to tack leads onto it to patch it into an existing circuit. (We needed 20+ dB of gain at 2 Ghz to replace an obsolete part, we ended up ordering a MAR-6+ instead, at least it's big enough to solder)
That's a extremely dangerous, disproportionate and self destructive strategy. What would prevent China from bombing US targets as revenge?

Both mainland and Taiwan belong to China, it's written even in the Taiwanese constitution. The controversy is in the definition of China, basically they are supposed to unify mainland while the mainland wants to unify them. A balance will be reached at some point either peacefully or violently.

Peace is more likely if the US stops pouring oil on fire.

The US should stay out of this situation if its leadership has its own people's interest in mind. A hot war between US and China will cause many millions to die and possibly end of human civilization. Let that sink in.
I believe weed should be subsidized and sold so that you really must not be tricked onto buying it & cannot buy it when addicted solely for reason of getting more addicted without any other reason. Otherwise though, why restrict people from being dumb?

What's the opposite drug in the "South Park," senae? I would say methylphenidate+LSD makes one, not in simultaneous use, more acutely aware of need to do things.

LSD probably improves intelligence by increasing the fidelity of one's experience, which makes your subconscious dreams more capable of tying many dreams to a single place you have experienced, though childhood home is hard to beat. Made-up places and places one passed by but didn't feel with senses & are generic too much, DO NOT have as many edges in the directed causal graphs that are the associations through which our subconscious dreams switch from one to another, travelling on granular level one time every edge as we dream single time, "repetitive" dreams's loops actually also having subtle differences in betweenxt.

Re your correlation, if poor areas may have more accessible weed & lower education & more crime, and the exact causal mechanisms indeed require care.
They were almost certainly both cleared to maintain visual separation.
The FAA is pretty bonkers; Rayiner is right here. Besides, what other system beyond "humans trying to work in a political controlled environment" are you advocating here?
From that graph it looks like residential went down quite a lot, which makes sense since that was the main usage of incandescents.
That's why languages like Zig come with several specialized allocators implemented in the stdlib which can be plugged into any other code in the stdlib that needs to allocate memory. You can still implement your own allocator of course, but often there's one already in the stdlib that fits your need (especially also because allocators are stackable/composable).
Hey, you are a great inspiraiton and I really like to read your blogs. I have been maintaining a broken blog since I was 16 (currently 19) and last year I started writing actively about everything I do.

I started reading more and more books and have seen a lot of improvements in writing. I am not inspired by anyone's writing style but yes I am writing for the sake of my own curiosity and fun. I did follow some of your ideas on how you write though xD

my blog: https://mangeshm.xyz/ some recent articles about my thinking and some stories I've written.
DeepSeek is a Game Changer for AI [video]
The link to the paper is in the first paragraph.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsphotonics.4c01667
I don’t think the fundamental issue here is actually about AI. It’s about whether you want to finish getting your degree now, because you have realized that you might not like the field.

I think this because I had very similar thought patterns a decade ago when I was in college and considered dropping out. This was obviously long before AI, and I don’t have a degree in CS regardless.

So my advice is: just finish it. I also spent tons of time ruminating over the perfect degree situation, and ultimately you’ll realize that it’s kind of a waste of time. Just finish the degree and get a job you want to get. You’ll barely think about college at all 5-10 years after graduating.
I'm from Sweden (okay not same thing as China due to english being more common here) but I always code in english. Even if it is a script just for myself I will use english for variable names etc
There’s so much data required for training it’d be surprising humans look at even a small subset of it at all. They need different statistical tools to clean it up. That’s where attacks will be concentrated, naturally, and this is why synthetic data will overtake real human data, just after ‘there isn’t enough data even if it’s too much already’.
The article says:

"If you have a lot of devices powered off a single rail, placing lots of high-value decoupling capacitors will add up, so pay attention to inrush current. If you’re sticking 10uF decoupling caps on 20 devices then that’s 200uF. Maybe dial it back a smidge."
Requirements are strict in other countries as well. It comes with the nature of the job.

This comment was written by a US Coast Guard helicopter pilot. It gives a lot of information on how the two aircraft should have been able to share the space and some speculation on what went wrong:

> All of this is to say that DeepSeek-V3 is not a unique breakthrough or something that fundamentally changes the economics of LLM’s; it’s an expected point on an ongoing cost reduction curve. What’s different this time is that the company that was first to demonstrate the expected cost reductions was Chinese.

Excellent analysis and I largely agree. The part where he looses me here is the certainty in the claim around fundamental changes to the economics...

This is open weights with a (largely) open recipe. Arguably, Meta has already been at it but now there are two labs producing frontier models at this level. A wishful analysis could imagine that there _might_ be more and that _could_ result in a qualitative shift in how the frontier model research is being done and hence affect the economics but Dario seems to have largely ignored this aspect.

Not sure why?
Nitpick: normal to the surface.
The data that OpenAI has certainly is better than what Deepseek has in your second argument. And OpenAI always has access to this kind of data, right?
> over noisy radio

I've been told the noise on the recordings is always a lot worse than in practice due to the location of the recording antenna not being ideal. I have no idea if this is correct or not. Maybe someone can enlighten this.
Agreed. For instance, 99% of people including myself cannot prove to themselves that vaccines are safe. The full explanation of vaccine safety down to the lowest level would be beyond my understanding. Trust in the authority figure is required.
> JWT is by far the most important building block here, and while it's not part of OAuth, realistically it's how anyone sane would use OAuth.

There's a degree of confusion in your comment. I pointed out the fact that OAuth handles authentication, not authorization. Those who fail to understand this clearly don't know the basics of the whole system. This is what I posted in my previous reply to your post.

The same applies to JWTs. They are the output of an authentication process. They do not authorize anything. They bundle a set of claims along with metadata used to prove they can be trusted and when they are valid. They are designed in a way that resource servers can validate them locally before actually handling any authorization concern.

The authorization part is handled by the systems which check these claims. It's a separate concern, handled separately by separate systems. If you were familiar with any OAuth flow, you'd be aware that this part takes place only after any of the flows take place, and is way outside of their scope.

This is what I'm talking about. If you do not understand the problem domain then you are in no position to criticize or complain about how solutions are implemented. You can only complain about the time you're wasting criticizing things you know nothing about.
Dopamine Addiction to Coding
Gotta be the acme of pedantic behavior to say "there's no proof climate change will kill ALL of us".
maybe more an open source zapier and its history goes back way before LLM:s. It is a good no code product for selfhosting (just a user, no connection to the company)
Agree that there are a lot of unknowns. Kevin Hall is carrying out some illuminating studies on the issue but, by his own admission, there’s simply not enough funding to do this at pace or scale.

I think we have some experimental evidence to suggest that at least some of the UPF associations are due to texture - those foods that you can basically inhale without chewing seem to drive higher caloric intake. We also have an incredibly strong signal of mass gain from sugar sweetened beverages which are also easy to consume with minimal effort.

I think it’s likely that cultural and economic factors play into this too. Japan has the same proliferation of UPFs, yet does not suffer the same obesity effects as the West does. There are probably a number of things that play into this: Japan has an incredible children’s food education policy, and they presumably have a different culture around food (many western cultures emphasise a “finish your plate or you’re ungrateful” approach).

I also have an intuition that the rise of two income households raising children is a factor in this. It’s a lot to ask of a couple that they both hold down full time jobs while cooking the kind of meals that used to be the domain of a stay-at-home parent.

Really interesting area to think about in terms of research and policies, but as you say we just don’t have strong evidence at the moment.

In the meantime it’s great that GLP-1 agonists are available to reduce the damage done, but it’s a shame we have to resort to such things in the first place.
The SOTA is augmented ATC displays and digital towers, which basically use object recognition to label planes on cameras, and the controllers sit somewhere else.

Usually this is done for rural airports, where you have one controller potentially managing multiple low traffic airports, and it’s tough to get ATC willing to move to remote locations. The only busy airport doing this kind of thing is London City Airport, but that has 3M passengers a year and DCA has 25M. That was motivated by the lack of space at London City Airport, so they demolished the traditional tower to reallocate space.

I've been blogging for just over 20 years at this point, my main takeaways

1) Blog for yourself and no-one else. Write things up because you find them interesting or you learned something. Trying to second-guess things like what will be popular or get engagement is not a fun time for what is likely to be a hobby.

2) Keep it low maintenance and simple publishing process. I use Github pages and Jekyll, but other similar options are available.

3) If you're doing technical content, try to have practical examples. I've had multiple times where I thought I knew how something worked and, in the process of writing a blog with practical examples, found out I was wrong about how it worked!

I am not sure if that would work well since 8 cores is really small, it can't really scale well wrt to attention head algorithm, and more importantly this particular EPYC part can only achieve ~50% of the theoretical memory bandwidth, ~240 G/s. Other EPYC parts are running close to ~70%, at ~400 G/s, which OP is using.
Ah that tracks. I never used a browser and initially used the Google reader app and then switched to an alternate app afterwards
It seems irrational because your framing is wrong here. The reason these measures seem random and poorly thought through is because it’s only in the last ~10 years that the US has even started paying attention to the supposed competition from China. If it was actually being taken seriously, the level of government and industry action would look similar to the Cold War. We aren’t even at 1% of that yet, and so the actions now are largely disorganized, unhurried, and “whack a mole.”
If anything I feel like it’s actually more interesting if it’s a psychiatric condition.

Does someone’s visceral sense of having control of their own life being detonated have an impact on their body? Probably? What if they have been conditioned to act like they are not bothered by this aspect of the situation, and therefore don’t process this feeling and it remains unresolved. That is like the definition of trauma.
llm inference is fine on rocm. llama.cpp and vllm both have very good rocm support.

llm training is also mostly fine. I have not encountered any issues yet.

most of the cuda moat comes from people who are repeating what they heard 5-10 years ago.
> Why are you so condescending?

It's not condescending. You're faced with a highly critical comment criticizing a whole framework when clearly the critic is completely oblivious to the most basic aspects of the whole domain. They know nothing about the whole problem domain, even failing to understand the most basic aspect of what they are doing or what they hope to achieve, but they still invest a lot of energy generating noise that's firmly in the "not even wrong" region. This serves anyone no good.
We’ve built good enough systems that lots of people have never had engage with the complexity of reality?
I don't follow you.

The standard configuration, with a "fat core", is pretty much the best you can do in 4 layers for a "modern" design. By "modern" I mean something with a dense component load, probably double-sided load, and random-ish routing (so, exactly the opposite of the old '80s TTL design shown in the article image we're discussing in sibling comment). All the "better" 4-layer stackups require outer layers to be doing a lot of heavy lifting, which they cannot do if they are filled with parts. When you assume they have to be filled with parts -- because if they aren't filled with parts then I can make it smaller and people want that! -- then you just cannot use that space as anything else. Henry Ott discusses a number of stackup options for four layers, and the standard one is the only option of his that survives with this restriction. If you don't like that, tough, I guess you're paying for 6 or 8 layers. Which isn't too bad these days!

You complain about power (VDD) plane noise. This might be important in ultra-low-noise design, I don't know, I try not to do that sort of work. In normal work it is not a factor. Your power and ground planes should be connected by a pretty thick network of capacitors, so they are transparent to each other. Your power plane is as good as a ground plane for AC, and AC is the only thing that's hard to deal with. So there is no issue routing the bottom layer on the other side of power, not ground. (Of course, that is no longer true if your power plane is split. Split power planes in a high-speed 4-layer design can be nasty, and are how I justify my worth to my employers!)

Asteroid Bennu contains all five nucleobases to build life
I had a friend who was self-medicating her anxiety and bipolar disorder (as I understand it, she only found out about the bipolar disorder some time after she quit smoking). She was pursuing a bachelor's degree at the time and was highly promising in her field, according to her supervisors. But after six months of use, all her academic achievements turned into failures. Plus, during depressive phases, cannabis sometimes made her feel even worse. In the end, after a year of smoking weed, she quit because she realized it was seriously affecting her brain and abilities. And that she could end up completely screwing up her life.
Oops! Yes, I meant to say perpendicular (or normal).
Why do you say implementations are different?
Reading utopic rulebooks - the intent is of no value. What is of value, is the reproduceable outcome of the rule-book interacting with actual humans, not idealized or demonized concepts.
Not just that. They have 19% of people with tertiary education.

open weights you mean. People confuse open weights with open source.
Their architecture means you buy them by the rack. Individual chips are useless, the magic happens when you set them up so each chip handles a subset of the model.

There basically isn't non English software engineering.

English is the universal language in programming and software engineering, much like Latin was the universal scholarly language in the past. Sometimes even to the extent that the language starts leaking from the code and technical documents, reports, etc. are being written in English, often just because the people working close to the software are more familiar with the terminology in English than in their native language.
This whole article could have been about me :smiling-holding-back-tears:
Nvidia has much less of a moat on the inference side of things. Of course they still dominate the market right now for inference (in datacenters), but it's much easier for companies to move onto AMD or other solutions like Groq or whatever compared to trying to use non-Nvidia for training.

Here's the FAA overview of what the agency calls the Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) Program:

Living with attention challenges doesn't require a formal diagnosis to start implementing helpful strategies. I was diagnosed with ADHD ten years ago and while medication helped with focus issues, it came with significant side effects.

Instead, I adopted these practices:
- Creating daily schedules

- Preparing essentials (clothes, lunch, gym gear) the night before

- Regular exercise

- Meditated daily

- Quitted weed

- Quitted porn

- Reducing screen time

After a while I didn't need medication for my studies and later my work. I believe that if I had continued on medication I would still believe that it was something wrong with me, which I don't anymore. I'm just a person that functions well when there is structure in my life (which I had not learned in my youth), and that's not a disability.

Concerning Amazon I guess most trust they will have their toaster. Like the same question about Walmart would be about food safety and quality.

Does anyone the exact rules of the L0 enemy, the blue knight with red pants that sometimes gives 10xp.

For me the following happened in one game: early game a blue orb chest revealed him, and it said '0' on him. This was new since in previous games I encountered him later in the game and he'd say '10' and give 10 xp (the 0 was not visible in those cases since he got revealed by clicking a tile then, no blue orb).

I killed him and he just disappeared, no 10xp. But later that same game he appeared elsewhere, this time with 10xp, so he can move?

I fully cleared the entire board, but ended up with score 302, where normally that gives 303. I think that's related to what happened with this 0, and the guy seemingly moving.

I already beat the game to 303 before, but now I'm trying to beat it without gambling (that is no random clicks in the beginning other than the 2 blue orbs, while in earlier games I'd reveal corners in the beginning to make it much easier), and this 302 ruined it ;p
