Funny, because I remember he was a far-left muslim communist from Africa back then by Republican standards.
Does anyone know why 910 is used for both this and Huawei's 910 AI chip? Does 910 have some special meaning in Chinese, or is it just a coincidence?
Course not. Mine is a horrid take.

It’s a statement on the fact that the children are being held hostage, and that this is how the pattern will be made to continue.

You have to decide whether you are ok with this pattern continuing. If it’s possible to do it without harming the children, then that is what must be done.

If it’s better to let this pattern continue, then thats also an ok choice. But at least the costs must be articulated and accepted. People can know what role they are playing in this relationship; the tradeoffs they found unacceptable.
They seem to be heading towards dictatorship, so it looks like the presidentialism issue will solve itself..
Government employees are never elected. They are hired by the elected officials. In this case the general public in the US was aware of DOGE before the election and chose to vote for it.
If they could they would probably would, but California prevents them from even choosing to do that.

> They will still make the same airplanes, drones, radars tanks and whatever.

At the same cost and speed? Volume matters.

> is crucial to the national security

National security isn't just about military power. Without the latest chips, e.g. if there were sanctions, it could impact the economy. The nation can be become insecure e.g. by means of more and more people suffering from poverty.

So, who's the VC that will fund the 4-9 failed governments we'll have to go through until we get a unicorn?
I read Snow Crash for the first time last month, and it instantly became one of the best books I’ve ever read. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to experience books like this when they first dropped—when the ideas were raw, the tech was just on the horizon, and the world hadn’t yet caught up.
I'm fine with letting decentralized currency maturing for say, 300 years, in some small corner of the world, before letting it loose on the rest of us.
But they don't have access to new designs and no way to add new architecture extensions that could be widely adopted.
Just a counterpoint. But my experience has been the opposite.

Taking a legacy application that runs on a single server and is struggling to scale with spaghetti of config files all over the box and security issues that have gone unpatched because no one wants to touch the box as it’s too dangerous to change anything, as everything is intertwined. No backups or unverified backups. No redundancy. No reproducible environments so things work on local but not on remote. Takes devs days to pin the issues.

Then break it down and replace with individual fully managed AWS services that can scale independently and I don’t need to worry about upgrades.

Yeah, the total bill for services is usually higher. But that’s because now there’s actually someone (AWS) maintaining each service, rather than completely neglecting it.

They key to all this is to use IaC such as AWS CDK to have code be the single source of truth. No ClickOps!
Not for me. Apple Mail used 155 MB RAM for all processes with 3 Accounts connected. Mailspring used 366 MB for all processes with only one of the 3 Accounts connected. The Mailspring Helper (GPU) alone uses 130 MB RAM …

Both had the same mail opened.

I'm using macOS 14.7.3, not 15. Don't know about Apple Mail in macOS 15.

While law provides a framework for contracts, regulations, and dispute resolution, insurance is based on actual risk based on historical data, industry trends, and on-site evaluations. No matter what the law says in the short term, we must acknowledge that reality is different. Insurance is more evidence based than law.

And very generally, if insurance won't cover it, you can't build it or make a business out of it.

I see this as the banal way that we will inevitably deal with the aftermath of ignoring climate change.
O3-mini knowledge cutoff is October, 2023
OpenAI released their new o3-mini model on Friday. Its knowledge cutoff is October, 2023(!). What does that mean exactly?

Large Language Models are trained on huge amounts of text data. In other words, they have read the entire Internet. Knowledge cutoff means that o3-mini has read the entire Internet - as of October, 2023 (
https://platform.openai.com/docs/models#o3-mini). It doesn't know of anything that has happened over the last 15 months. Anthropic's most up to date model has a cutoff date of July 2024 (https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models#model-comparison-table).

In a Reddit Ask-Me-Anything session, the OpenAI team have confirmed they are working on updating knowledge cutoffs. But Sam Altman himself replied that in his own work he never thinks about the knowledge cutoff anymore - thanks to ChatGPT's Web Search feature. To which one Reddit user left a comment: "But search results are meh compared to stuff from its own knowledge". (https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1ieonxv/comment/ma9zhc2/)

Indeed, when talking to ChatGPT you will notice that it spontaneously decides to search the web when answering your questions. It then uses top search results as a basis for its answer - instead of its own knowledge which might be outdated and incorrect.

Does that mean that ChatGPT is virtually reduced to reading out to us top Google results? Have we lost touch with the breathtaking breadth of understanding it has gained when "reading the entire Internet"?

These limitations must be taken into account when doing research on products, shopping, news, industries, companies, policy, etc. Web search based answers will be accurate but their context will be limited to top web search results. Without web search, we're exposed to the full breadth of understanding - at the cost of information being out of date.

Bonus question: Can OpenAI, Anthropic and other LLM providers update knowledge cutoffs more frequently?

My personal bet is that it is surprisingly risky and time-consuming to "add a few more months of data and retrain the model" because of all the "final touches" that happen after training has finished. As in any software project - the last 5% takes half the time. :)

I think you misinterpreted something in my note. Continuing to enforce yesterday's laws after Congress repeals them would not seem to me to be the opposite of "openly picking and choosing which laws are valid"; rather, it would be an even more extreme form of it, because you're no longer even just picking from the laws currently on the books!

It can be patched, see example in "constant-time hardware division" section in https://misc0110.net/files/cpu_woot23.pdf (code: https://github.com/pietroborrello/CustomProcessingUnit/blob/...). You probably won't observe any improvement unless you know an algo massively better than reciprocals+newton.

> I wonder why that C file which maps a more abstract Rust-friendly C-API on top of the existing API can't live inside the Rust directory and build structure

This is more or less what the RfL folks are asking for - they have a Rust API to be used by other Rust code, which uses the existing C API, and are promising to maintain that API themselves. It lives in the Rust "directory".

The C maintainer is rejecting this, seemingly because his goal isn't to find a compromise that works but to completely block the project.

>They will still make the same airplanes, drones, radars tanks and whatever.

Eventually there'll be fully autonomous drones and how competitive they'll be will be directly proportional to how fast they can react relative to enemy drones. All other things being equal, the country with faster microchips will have better combat drones.
EU bending backwards to meet US demands to access non-US-related traveller records: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/eu-us-agr...

Yes, it only affects airlines that have connections to the US. But if I book Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Tokyo, the PNR will still be sent to the US, for Lufthansa has connections to the US.

Yes, there are 'safeguards' in there, to shackle the DHS to be responsible with the data - but who seriously thinks the data, once in US hands, is used responsibly and only for the matters outlined in the treaty? The US has been less of a reliable partner for decades now.

Oh, right. They won't do that for financial transactions, right? Right?

I'm just going to buy cake at this point.
I feel like it's the opposite. These labour-saving technologies are used to concentrate wealth and make workers' lives more precarious.
Regarding the metrics, 1945 to roughly 1971 or more realistically, 2010, were anomalies.

The US watched the rest of the world burn itself down during WW1 (partially) and during WW2 (almost completely).

There were basically 0 industrialized countries doing better in 1945 than they were in 1928.

The US reached those insane peaks because of a total aberration. It was never going to last.

China and India, for example, have been between 1/3 and 1/2 of the world economy for multiple millennia.

After the Age of Discovery Europe as a whole took over at least 1/3 itself.

The US would do well to adjust to this new reality, but I guess the temptation to make America great again is too strong.
Those comments might also explain how some cool figure was done
Maybe locking up is wrong analogy. Rather YouTube is just torching everything you've built instead.

> There's no book publisher as big as YouTube/Google

There's nothing as big as YouTube/Google and that's why analogy breaks.

Your analogy with publishers works only if there's relevant competition and there's none. YouTube is analogue to state publisher and others are underground small printers who's main occupation is printing opposition leaflets. There's no competition between YouTube and those entities.
There is no such thing as "being smart". You can be arbitrarily good at some things, and arbitrarily bad at anything else. Even the greatest physicists can have laughably naive philosophical positions. Linus Paulding, one of the greatest minds in chemistry in history, was convinced that you can cure virtually any disease with a large enough dose of vitamin C. Expertise, even the extreme peak, in one field doesn't give you expertise of any kind in another field.

Why are you even mentioning silly/stupid regulations? And what do you mean by "collateral"?
So you're saying that everything would be fine(ish) if insurers are allowed to raise premiums. I agree.

The question you posed as a future potential problem is: "What if the US gov ... allow insurers to raise rates".

So again, color me confused. What is the problem with the government allowing insurance companies to raise premiums?

> The US probably hasn't been this economically dominant since after WWII.

That may be true if you look at the US in isolation, they're much richer now compared to 1950, but they've never had a strong a contender as China is right now. The Soviets were matching them militarily back in the Cold War years but they were never close to surpass them economically, like China is now in the process of doing.
Not necessarily a culture shift - assuming you mean IRL culture, not HN culture - but rather a sign of HN's much increased popularity in recent years, outside the thoughtful nerd circle.
De facto/de jure.

I would argue that if the cost of the insurance exceeds the available money, that counts as de facto "uninsurable".
Status.cafe
I think it's now called Small Web or Old Wed

Clicking through a few coffee's (personal pages) made me nostalgic of the web of the late 90s that I grew up with.

This "Status.Cafe" reminded me just how fun the web can be, unpolished, quirky , creative, interesting.
Of course, it goes without saying that opposing same-sex marriage doesn't make one "far right". I mean, I know you knew that and are just ragebaiting – but I wanted it to be explicitly clear for others.
> anonymous sources allege Elez had R/W access

If the allegations are untrue there is obviously no story.

At the top of the thread you said "even if we accept all of this..." I took "this" to refer to the allegations. We're exploring that branch.

> were always going to fight on every possible avenue. How much do anonymous press leaks really mean here?

Everyone should. The point is if the allegations are true, they're persuasive to a judge. If I commit a crime on your property, about the best thing you could do for me is turn the place upside down before the police arrive.
It has already been competing against fiat currencies and the least we can say is that it's a success.

No other currencies without a state to promote it, and basically force it on their citizens, made it through yet Bitcoin did it.

More and more people are buying it, people are valuing it more and more, close to 100k$ now when it worth nothing a few years ago.

That's quite a success to me and and I believe part of it's success is because Bitcoin is by nature deflationary.

No one would willingly buy an inflationary currency, the only reason they success is because they are forced by gouvernement.
The left/right divide in American politics is a myth. Clinton and Harris are both establishment candidates. The only establishment candidate to have won a presidential election since George Bush Sr. in 1988 is Biden. And that was only because of Trump's first term, and he was losing his election before bowing out.

The Democratic Party has been putting forward establishment candidates since at least Jimmy Carter, the only exceptions being Bill Clinton and Obama. And notably, they both were, like Trump, a bit of a black swan in party politics.
>>Government generally doesn’t have the luxury of failure because the consequences for people’s lives are too extreme.

Im guessing they will eventually discover why bureaucracy even exists. That is to move slow enough to ensure big mistakes become impossible and provide stability for newer things to happen at their own pace.

Im guessing any chaos inside bureaucracy for as little as a decade could cause a lost century to a country. The cost of stabilising, course correcting, recovering and then going on upwards could take decades.

The point was the size of the app. That was the cost of switching all the apps from AWS to LFS, not a surprise AWS bill.
I am quite sure God does not operate through US JDAM missiles and billions of dollars' of ammunition. God doesn't operate the American media which doesn't report the Genocide.
If US was willing, this Gift could have ended long long ago. I am sure no other country was forcing US to vote against peace at UN.
This is dishonest. China didn't spend the last 20 years invading multiple countries, committing acts of mass-murder and destabilizing the whole Middle-East.

If anything, China's rise is a stabilizing factor for the whole world. It balances the aggression originating from the United States.
For starters, I am still waiting for Apple Intelligence to arrive on my phone. Reason given is "EU legislative concerns".

Then there's the nontrivial number of especially local US news sources which now give me a cheerful "451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons" error code.

Then there's the outright stupid stuff - like lightbulbs that do not cost 15 euros a piece (to save 'energy'), or drinking straws that do not dissolve in my coke within the first minute (to avoid 'disposable plastics'). There are hundreds of examples like that.

The EU is a regulation juggernaut, and is making the world an actively worse place for everyone globally. See "Cookie Banners".
His ideas builds on Curtis Jarvis work, dark enlightenment. He is a close associate of Peter Thiel and JD Vance. Essentially they want to destroy the federal government, buy up assets and land, start their own micro countries where they can be King CEOs. Sounds like a joke but its not.
Do you think Trump understands how tarifs work exactly? Or is it just something he learned other countries are afraid of but he has no idea that American importers and their customers are gonna pay them (and he shares this misunderstanding with more than half of the population)?
My experience - system went down every time we have significant load. Reasons were various, but all triggered by load. Switched to ECS + Aurora - problem gone, bill has slightly increased.

I've been buying dip AMD since mid-2023 hoping that the Xillinx acquisition would finally pay off... eventually, it will. I'm certain of it ;-(
Yet I also feel the things C910 does well are overshadowed by executing poorly on the basics. The core’s out-of-order engine is poorly balanced, with inadequate capacity in critical structures like the schedulers and register files in relation to its ROB capacity. CPU performance is often limited by memory access performance, and C910’s cache subsystem is exceptionally weak. The cluster’s shared L2 is both slow and small, and the C910 cores have no mid-level cache to insulate L1 misses from that L2. DRAM bandwidth is also lackluster.

I'm not a CPU designer but shouldn't this be points that one could discover using higher-level simulators? Ie before even needing to do FPGA or gate-level sims?

If so, are they doing a SpaceX thing where they iterate fast with known less-than-optimal solutions just to gain experience building the things?
That is also (to a rough approximation) how all foreign aid works. It's not specific to the US.
This creates the impression that we can provide for everything ourselves. The reality is that we need global service and consultancy partners for the kind of work we are doing.
Writing a .NET Garbage Collector in C# – Part 2
In the first part, we prepared the project and fixed an initialization issue caused by the NativeAOT toolchain. In this second part, we’re going to start the implementation of our GC. The target for now is to build the simplest possible GC that can run basic .NET applications. This GC will only allocate memory and never free it.
>>Both are less corruptible than your average person.

I honestly believe, cheating is a primal trait. Age has little to do with it. In fact young cheats are likely to cheat with more enthusiasm and energy than elder cheats.

> There's still no actual shortage though! The amount of toilet paper being produced is the same, the consumption rate is the same, people have just changed their stockpiling preference

You seem to have entirely missed the point of the comment you’re replying to. The consumption rate of residential toilet paper increased. Have you seen actual commercial toilet paper and considered its texture and, more critically, the size and shape of the rolls? While it’s possible for someone to awkwardly wipe using a monster roll of commercial paper at home, the commercial roll is not really a desirable substitute for residential TP.
Imagine if this was a male journalist snooping through newly appointed young, female engineers' histories, e-stalking them the same way and writing an article of his findings. You can justify it as "it's technically still reporting", but it's very creepy that they thought of this and then continued to think this was a good idea throughout the process.
