That was never the moat.

Nvidia's moat is controlling compute for 80-90% of workloads.

Why do you think Steam has more RTX 4090 than 4080 in their survey?

Ever since RTX 2080TI you could buy multi server consumer GPUs for ML. We sell PCs with RTX cards regularly to customer for small local AI applications.

Project Digits is the next thing. It is not only a Nvidia GPU in some PC, it's the real AI PC. The real deal and we're already considering switchting to that as a system instead of a PC since it's size is perfect for our Vision application.

Do you think Nvidia cares if you buy 1 Blackwell DC GPU, 13x Digits or 20x RTX 5090? In the end it's all the same turnover for Nvidia.

Nvidia's goal is to spread and dominate workloads worldwide and that no matter if DC, enterprise or consumer, Nvidia HW is used.
Yeah, I've always been a fan of having something like this going. I have found bugs in my software just from having the continuous graph somewhere. "Why am I using 100% of the CPU for no reason right now? Oh, after 10 minutes without a request it enters an infinite loop here..."

Back in the old days the fans going to 100% was a good bug finder. But computers can be so quiet now, you have to use your eyes ;)

Back in the day (1993!), my 3-year-old loved the delightful Living Books collection software. The interactive CD-ROMs came bundled with paperback versions of the simple books they animated, which were written by popular children's authors. A nice touch that got children interested in reading the physical books by themselves, eventually opening up the whole world of reading to them. Maybe someone's aware of whether there are apps that are today's equivalents. If you're interested, video playthroughs of the software titles are collected at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCAF301BEC1CA0D5D

Btw, if you haven't seen it, check out the book Teach Your Baby to Read. The first chapter in the free sample at Amazon gives a reason for why more children don't read at an early age ("We make the print too small"). Which helps explain why some children manage to learn to read words from commercials and TV shows (like Sesame Street!) - which often display words in big type as they are read by an announcer's clear voice - on their own long before they hit school. https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Baby-Gentle-Revolution/dp/...

If you are afraid of the potentially unlimited downside to a short, you can buy an out of the money call option as an insurance. Or instead of shorting directly and insuring that, you can also buy a put option, which gives you the right to sell the stock at a specific price.

What kind of math are you interested in?

School-like math can be learned from text books, however, learning it with real people seems often more enjoyable.

University style math, where you learn how to build/make mathematics and learn how to dig into all the intricacies can be really fun and change your world view and problem solving skills forever. The tricky but is that some of the essential tribal knowledge is very difficult to find outside of good introductory university lectures. That’s a bit of a drag.

What kind of math are you interested in?

The big split (according to Grothendieck) seems to be Geometry vs. Algebra.

Algebra covers symmetries. For example, repeating patterns, scaling a business, for-loops, and double entry bookkeeping/accounting (disregarding measurement problems).

Geometry covers asymmetries, conditionals/"if"s, lengths, distances, approximation (as a concept, confer Cauchy-sequences) and things like statistics/ML/LLM, numerical optimization, computer graphics, non-standard Analysis with infinitesimals, Differential equations and dynamical systems, Fourier transforms (arguably not Algebra), compression (arguably not Algebra), and information theory (arguably not Algebra).

There is also set theory for relations (think relational databases), and graphs (with edges and vertices/nodes) (applications include register allocation in compilers via graph coloring as well as git and Merkle trees a.k.a. "Blockchain" disregarding the ledger). Then there is lambda calculus and similar fields. You can also go into formal logic (Some logicians and philosophers are unsure whether this is mathematics in the strictest sense).

Which problem domains or specific problems are you interested in?

(Interest leads to learning -- never the reverse. Paraphrasing Taleb)

I talk with my cat, and the conversation is so fluid that my 5 year old son asked, "Dad, when did you learn to speak cat?" He is multilingual, so I guess he was wondering when he would have "Cat speak" at school or whatever.

I told him I pretend what I think the cat is saying, which seemed a bit if a let down to both of us. But ever since, I realize it's not so much pretending, we really do converse, and it's a pleasure.
I guess even if we didn't hate it, it'd be nice if they said that, so people knew that it's not a buggy update, but rather, they have a ticking time bomb in their pants pocket.
While learned is probably not the best word to use as far as describing the legality goes, I also don’t think “copied” is the right word.

Let’s say that the model “is influenced by” the copyrighted material. That seems hard to argue against.

So, now that we aren’t using the word “learned”, why would we say that the way the models are influenced by the copyrighted works that appear in the “training set” (not to imply that “training” in the usual sense is happening) counts as a copyright violation?

Or, perhaps the claim is that the outputs of the model are violating copyright?

If the output is substantially similar to some particular copyrighted work that is in the “training set”, and could work as a substitute for that work, and if the output resembling the work is in part due to the influence that the work had on the model, I think in this case it would be a clear case of violation of copyright.

However, if it doesn’t have substantial similarity to any particular copyrighted work that influenced it, only similarity to the style common to many of the works that influenced it (even if all by the same author), my impression is that this would not constitute copyright infringement because styles are not protected by copyright, only individual works.

(Now, is this unjust, in the case of it copying the style of some particular author/artist? Idk, maybe? But my impression is that copyright doesn’t protect styles, and that it probably shouldn’t protect styles in general… so I guess maybe if we had a law making a special case forbidding the (deliberate?) copying of a person’s particular style via some kind of machine learning model? Idk.)

This is pretty cool. I especially like the better encrypted boot support and that it seems to harmonize better with nixpkgs (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/sixos-a-nix-os-without-systemd...). Curious about the infusions bit.

It not having systemd seems like a bit of a distraction from all of the other stuff that has gone into it.
I tried to find out what this actually does but apart from a video that is very hard to watch on mobile, there's really nothing there that tries to sell me on this. Why not use the readme to do your elevator pitch?
It depends on how granular and selective it is, or how it is framed.

Could leverage that at any company that gets a government grant or assistance which has a marketing department. Heck could say MAGA is astroturfing and even GPT would agree if you ask ("Is MAGA astroturfing?") it that (yet ask the same question of DeepSeek and the response is less clear-cut, that it feels more unbiased, so that I recommend trying for yourselves), but then politics is very much deep into that on all party politics in many countries.

> Because evidence (schisms, actual errors from the Church institution throughout time, not the least sex scandals we are not done with yet) shows that if God was actively directing the Church in the past and today, oh boy…

Except all the scandals and anti-Popes are empirical evidence of the Holy Spirit guiding the Church. Despite all that the teachings of the Church are fundamentally unchanged. I can read St Justin Martyr and recognize the teaching of the Eucharist from the second century that itself is in continuity with John 6. Go through all Catholic teachings and you’ll find continuity from the beginning despite all the forces that wanted to change it for thousands of years.

The religion founded by the man betrayed by His own Apostle and then disowned or abandoned by the rest, executed brutally and sadistically by the Romans, that religion went on to conquer the Roman world within a few centuries and then make its way through the whole world for thousands of years. Why? Because Jesus rose from the dead and against His Church the gates of hell won’t prevail.

Having an “aged battery” is very different from having a battery that was suddenly ruined by a buggy update that can’t be rolled back though.
No, it’s not “the same thing”. Apple throttled the phones because the alternative was the phone shutting off. It wasn’t a software bug. It’s physics that when a battery got old and you tried to run the phone at full speed, the battery couldn’t handle it.
That would be a smoking gun and add credibility to this. However, with hindsight—and especially if you had inside or advanced knowledge of something groundbreaking—it would be obvious to capitalize on it in some way, as long as it didn't violate stock market trading standards.

For example, if a company developed a revolutionary drug that would disrupt an entire market and weaken competitors, purchasing options against those competitors wouldn’t constitute insider trading or breach stock market regulations, as I understand it. However, buying shares in the company itself based on that inside knowledge would.
systemd already has encrypted boot support. I suppose when you rip something out you have to reinvent all its functions. At that point, any rational person would question the reasons for doing so.

I remember working on DCC, a decompiler for C created by Cristina Cifuentes in 1990. It felt like magic and the future, but it was incredibly difficult and interesting. I used it for decompiling firmware and it was hard to convince my boss that we needed it.
the dismissal of systemd criticisms by saying they’re unimportant (for you) or that admins are living in the past has got to be one of the most annoying things about the topic. It devolves into a flamewar because of it, since nobody can actually engage constructively once that happens.

I’ve laid my actual criticisms bare multiple times on this site.

1) The tight coupling of the userland with systemd means that while systemd replaced a pleathora of inits (not just sysv): the target is now too large to be replaced even if there are better ones. Systemd is the last init linux will have, and increases the barrier to port software to other unix-likes.

2) The non-optional/default features have been buggy and difficult to replace. Journald has no replacement; systemd-networkd is one of the most common causes of failure for my desktop due in part to being flakey when dnssec is not available.

3) The overreliance on dbus turns the “the unix philosophy” ;) away. Text as a universal communication medium, everything is a file, etc.

There are more, but these are my main ones. Throwing away the corpus of admin muscle memory is not an an issue anymore.

To be blunt, I was using Fedora when systemd was coming out, I know how it works intimately because it was constantly broken. Part of what gives me pause is that I know how utterly undebugabble it is when it fails: it just hits those causes less frequently as the world is forced into using it. It becomes battle hardened.

Oh, and the obvious criticism agains the maintainers who have been very unapologetic to bugs and undesired behaviour, in a much worse way than the Apple “you’re holding it wrong”.

Did you ever consider that it’s also free software nerds who are the most likely to hate being told what to do?
Imagine having no competition one day and the next DeepSeek happens. It must’ve been quite scary. Makes sense that accusations will start flying. In my country we have a saying: a thief that robs a thief is pardoned for 100 years.

It’s really interesting that the same people who defend liberal capitalism at its extreme and praise competition as its most important component (which I don’t disagree) are the same ones that’ll promptly attempt to destroy the system and the competition as soon as they are in such a position.

I took it more as a don't throw the baby out with the bath water type comment. Regulations _do_ need to be looked at and decided if they should be kept. Not every regulation was written in blood, and not every regulation is going to get people killed if we get rid of it. Some of them are critical, no doubt. But there's also a lot of them written by people that don't know what they're doing, but feel the need to justify their job.
The data [1] don't really show this. In particular as recently as 2001-2003 35% of young adults (in the US) said they smoked, versus an all-time historical high of 45% across all age groups for some context. By 2019 that figure was down to 10% for young adults. The first bans on advertising smoking went into effect in 1971!

So what happened in the ~2000 era window of time? The internet and social media started exploding in popularity. In fact you'll find that the graph of the decline in teen pregnancy [2] looks roughly similar to the decline in young adult smoking, and probably for the exact same reason.

>HIV affects everyone. It's best to reduce it wherever you can.

Again, "can" is the keyword.

In case you weren't aware, the US is literally trillions of dollars in debt. Not only can we not afford these expenses, we are literally borrowing money to pay those expenses which aren't even for our own benefit. Again: What the sincere fuck. This is a budget that would get taken out back and shot in any other sane circumstances.

We have countless pressing concerns right here at home where that $50 million dollars can make a significant impact to the benefit of all Americans. Even if there wasn't a line item, we can still slash $50 million dollars off the budget and reduce the debt which again is beneficial to all Americans.

And don't give me that "just print more dollars" bullshit either: That leads to inflation for everyone Americans and otherwise. It's ridiculous that spamming the printing presses is considered acceptable.

If China or whoever wants to buy condoms for other countries then they are very much welcome to. We can't fucking afford these stupid line items when we have a laundry list of our own. Screw "soft power influence", if the Pentagon and CIA line items weren't somehow enough already then we should also slash those too and get rid of all the waste.
