> Hmmm... that sounds like exposed provenance

I hadn't heard of that before, cool. That sounds similar, yeah. (At a quick glance at least. I can't tell if it's exactly equivalent but it certainly seems close.)

> I would assume that that would also lead to massive slowdowns in runtime performance.

My responses are:

1. I am amused that the implication of this would be that Rust is slower than C/C++.

2. I would not assume such a thing purely on faith. It may be true, but there have been lots of poor specifications in the standards based on erroneous presumptions about the performance cost/benefit trade-offs that subsequently didn't hold. I won't even go into the ones that touch UB -- just look at the argument evaluation order that they finally caved on and made stricter from C++14 to C++17. I find the standards are overzealous w.r.t. optimization in a lot of cases, and it takes them a long time to admit that.

3. If that's actually true in this particular case, the correct solution to that would've been to provide an opt-in flag to break programs (think -ffast-math) rather than laying incorrectness as the foundation.

> It isn't possible to implement incoherent policies

If you assume that the goal is to implement a policy, no, it's not possible. But that's never the goal with such chaos. The goal is to make it unclear what's allowed or not, so that the real answer becomes: whatever the current ruler favors is allowed, and whatever he dislikes is disallowed. "Woke ideology", like "globalism" or "cultural Marxism" before it, means nothing, which means it can mean anything.

Another factor is the media outrage machine. Being a part of a conflict is appealing to some, for the same reasons that some people join the military. I could see this appetite for conflict leading some people to falsely claim to be trans. Whereas they wouldn't if people were more accepting of it, and the media didn't frame every story in a way that showcases outrage.
Yeah I thought it was about a Matt Smith, 11th doctor recap, the word broth sounds vaguely mystical.
Yeah, that channels are populated correctly. As you can see from the mlc-results.txt, the latency looks fine:

Using buffer size of 1800.000MiB
Each iteration took 424.8 base frequency clocks ( 104.9 ns)

I've tried various NUMA configurations (from 1 domain to a per-CCD config) and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Updating from the board-delivered F14 to the latest 9004 F31 BIOS (the F33 releases bricked the board and required using a BIOS flasher for manual recover) gave marginal (5-10%) improvement, but nothing major.

While 1DPC, the memory is 2R (but still registers at 4800), training on every boot. The PMBW graph is probably the most useful behavior chart: https://github.com/AUGMXNT/speed-benchmarking/blob/main/epyc...

Since I'm not so concerned with CPU inference, I feel like the debugging/testing I've done is... the amount I'm going to do, which is enough to at least characterize, if not fix the performance.

I might write up a more step-by-step guide at some point to help others but for now the testing scripts are there - I think most people who are looking at theoretical MBW should probably do their own real-world testing as it seems to vary a lot more than GPU bandwidth.
Wow, thanks. As always, the best way to learn more on the internet is to be confidently and totally wrong!
One of my favorite albums of the last year [0] has had its 5 tracks split into 3 parts each on streaming platforms. It’s kinda weird, but I assume it’s because of the way streaming services pay per track and not per second played.

I think this is appalling, but I’m not sure what practical effect defunding trans and gender research would have on the US’s prospects in competition with China.
The scary thing is a fascist, compliant US might still perform ok economically. Similarly there are UK politicians who hold up Singapore as a model for us. This is going to be a nasty few decades.
On top of being an evil person, Money was quite wrong about gender — not only making intersex mutilation a thing, but also forcibly transitioning a young cis boy in one of the most heartbreaking cases I've ever read about.

The modern scientific model is a collaborative effort by many professionals across several fields, refined over several decades. There is no single scientist who is responsible for it. Instead of projecting cis insecurities, it centers trans people and treats us as honest conveyors of our experiences. And it sure is more correct than anything a bunch of illiterate fundies who beat their wives ever dreamed up.
It’s a human thing:

Treat people with intimidation, and they’ll be nice to you out of fear.

Treat people nicely, and they’ll walk over you.

(Treat people with cautious respect, and they don’t know where to put you in the hierarchy. Or something like that.)

Good point. It is my experience with both of my teenage kids, diagnosed with adhd.

In general, it needs to be broad since it is difficult to predict if you get enough attention or not.

So starting with a very short explanation helps increasing the odds of that it will be processed.

I lost interest when they reached back.

Although I definitely like "unexplainable" stories like Twin Peaks.

If we are talking old TV, definitely check out The Wire. It's up there in the classics, but people nowadays don't talk about it much.
Hmm, rather than waste my response to the two deadheaded comments below the above and now my zombie peers; I wrote:

> an explanation for the recently-invented concept of "gender".

Perhaps recent to certain Europeans in central north america .. but hardly a recently invented concept.

When I was a kid in the 1960s in the Austral Asian equatorial region the missionaries were going hard trying to stamp out Sistergirls, the bugis gender roles, and every other abomination under God that caught their eye.

As I heard tell, indigenous north and south americans had expanded concepts of gender that got the same treatment.

If there's a fallacy it likely lies with repressed WASP types brainwashed into a rigid moral prison of a worldview.

That's what the person responding to meant - attempts to make human systems "rational" often involves simplifying dependent probabilities and presenting them as independent.

The rationalist community both frequently makes this reasoning error and is aware they frequently make this error, and coined this term to refer to the category of reasoning mistake.
Apple’s software decisions over the last 15 years have created significant friction for developers trying to build on their platforms.

People won't care why it isn't freely accessible, it's not going to displace ISBN (or other non-US classifications) without that; not even inside the US, and certainly not outside it.

I'm actually genuinely surprised it isn't freely accessible; Aaron Swartz (RIP) might have gone to war over that, and might have won that war in the court of public opinion.

Hey has anyone in the govt trained an LLM on it? Given title, author, keywords, abstract, etc. predict which LoC triple classification (or Dewey Decimal Classification, or Harvard–Yenching Classification, or Chinese Library Classification, or New Classification Scheme for Chinese Libraries (NCL in Taiwan)) a book would have? That would be neat, and a good way to proliferate its use instead of ISBN. (But the US govt would still assert copyright over the LoC classification.)

> There is a reason that doesn't make any sense: He did it in public, but then denies that's what it was.

Doing it then pretending that he doesn't do it carries two messages. For actual fascists, it's an indication that he's will support them, and that they should support him.

For people apologizing for fascists, the denial provides them the chance to spill gallons on ink on speculating about his state of mind and other plausible deniability for their insistence that he's not really courting fascists.

When someone does one thing, but says another, believe what they do, not what they say. Doubly so in politics.

There's no ambiguity in this symbol, or what it represents. Believe your eyes.
Yeah, I rate The Wire among literature. It transcends television.

It's great, and also very enjoyable.
This is my understanding as well. Suddenly, China as main partner doesn't look that bad for a lot of countries right now. The era of US seen as the champion of the free world is over. Not that surprising since Trump always said he will put USA First, but the way he's implementing is really unbelievably stupid.

I hope Europe hears the wake up all.

There isn't much to improve in HN UI except maybe two things: megathreads with 100s of comments and recent popular posts that's disappeared in the HN archive. In megathreads there is no way to see at a glance what comments are new. And in HN archive there is no way to show only posts with more than 100 upvotes.
An interesting and worthwhile topic. This kind of problem pops up regularly.

Those diagrams are really handy, does anyone know how they were made? I'm always looking for alternatives / companions to the Railroad Diagram Generator (https://rr.red-dove.com/ui).
They would be replaced by the incompetent who want to shine in the new limelight. That happened in Germany after the Machtergreifung. The new government got rid of the unwanted in science and mathematics and many others quit in protest. The gaps were quickly filled by science backbenchers and cranks who would get rid of all the theories they didn't understand (e.g. parts of number theory) and replaced them by what they called Aryan mathematics and Aryan this or that, towing the line of the people who got them into their new position.

Bit hazy now, but at work every time an LTS change happens the first team to do it publishes it's notes on how it fixed various issues. Off the top of my head I remember a problem with swagger, but to be fair that's a third party lib. Problems with other 3rd party libraries with version mismatches (i.e one dependency wanting one version and another wanting a different one). It's not some major gripe, just it has never been smooth sailing! :)

I can totally relate to this. My approach depends on how often I'll be working on the server. For quick, one-off tasks, I stick with the system's plain vim distribution. However, if it's a machine I'll be accessing frequently, I go ahead and set up neovim with my config files.

The setup process can be tricky, as you mentioned. My config relies on several external dependencies, particularly for LSP servers. I usually ignore the dependency errors initially unless I know I'll need those specific features – then I'll invest the time to fix them properly.

Installing neovim itself can also be challenging, especially on fixed/point release operating systems. I've found using AppImage to be the most reliable solution in these cases.

I'm curious to hear how others handle this balance between convenience and functionality on remote servers.
First off, when you manually curate your world, you know what you chose to curate it for and you have to be are well aware of the world outside of it: it doesn't all automatically just happen in a way that can trick you into believing the entire world might be into your niche interests.

But also, looking at this as a kind of fractal level of curation, even within your east coast gangster rap community, there are still going to be a variety of people who think a number of different things about the world at large; and, unless you have an algorithmic feed inside of that community, you will see those varied models of the world blossom.

What happens when you fully go down the algorithmic feed rabbit hole is that, if someone in east coast gangster rap disagrees with you on some other unrelated axis--or they are simply boring to you--they will get increasingly filtered away by the algorithm, leaving you alone in your misleadingly-cacophonous bubble.
Agree on NPU vs CPU memory bandwidth, but not sure about characterizing the GPU that way. GDDR is usually faster than DDR of the same generation, and on higher end graphics cards has a width bus width. A few GPUs have HBM and pretty much all datacenter ML accelerators (NVidia B200 / H100 / A100, Google TPU, etc). The PCIe bus between the host memory and GPU memory is a bottleneck for intensive workloads.

To perform a multiplication on CPU, even SIMD, that values have to fetched and converted to a form the CPU has multipliers for. This means smaller numeric types penalised. For a 128-bit memory bus, an NPU can fetch 32 4-bit values per transfer; the best case for a CPU is 16 8-bit values.

Details are scant on Microsoft's NPU, but it probably has many parallel multipliers; either in the form of tensor cores or a systolic array. The effective number of matmul's per second (or per memory operation) is higher.

> Thought and knowledge are overrated. Study and cultivation of awareness is where it's at.

This comment really hit me.

Like most here, I live in a culture centered around thought and knowledge. I think I've always kind of known awareness was important, but never tried to compare its importance vs thought and knowledge so directly.
> I have no doubt the same difficulties would apply to - say - planting and harvesting crops on a schedule

Not necessarily. Before the Industrial Revolution artisans were paid by the piece and peasants harvested between the crop being ripe and it being damaged by the weather. <https://dhayton.haverford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Tho...>

Both of those have immediate rather than delayed (artificial?) consequences, which might have been easier to handle.

When factories tried paying peasants by the hour, they would work as much as they felt like (e.g. not showing up at all on "Saint" Monday) until they were taught time-discipline.
> but self-hosting these wont be a viable alternative to using providers like OpenAI for business applications for a while.

Why not? While 3-4 tok/s is still on the lower end, it is still usable to the point that I can use it for any task that doesn't require me to get into a real-time communication with the model.

In other words, I don't mind waiting a 1-minute for good-enough response from the model for topic that would take me multiples of that to compile and research on my own. It's a clear net win.
I didn't flag those articles. Discussions of Musk devolve into partisan hyperbole. I'm indifferent on him generally. Many of the discussions become unhinged and absurd. When I attempt to illustrate how extreme some of the hyperbole is, my own comments are generally flagged or downvoted into oblivion. Those who make extreme claims without substance are celebrated. This suggests that a reasonable discussion is not possible on some of these contentious topics.

I also understand that the HN algo has a feature where flamewar-esque threads can trigger flagging of the entire article.
Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)
You can mail such questions to hn@ycombinator.com although this one has been addressed in some of the recent mod comments.

The reason such things get flagged has less to do with Musk but with the fact that HN isn't really a current events/news discussion site. It's porous - some things are big and/or interesting enough to get front page coverage but the tick tock of everyday news stories is mostly offtopic and people tend to enforce that with their flags.

I’m sure CDC researchers are thinking the same thing about their work.

Unfortunately, totalitarianism is defined by its effects on science, education, and our private life. I expect apolitical topics to become rarer here simply because there will be no escaping it.
A few points I find interesting:

- in 2022 a decision was made to abolish leap seconds by 2035, by allowing UTC to drift from the time as defined by Earth's rotation (UT1)

- negative leap seconds, while established, were never actually used

- ice melting caused by climate change has a slowing down effect on rotation of the planet, delaying a need for a negative leap second until 2029, otherwise forecasted in 2026
It seems there’s an economic argument against paying a bribe because paying one opens the door to more.

But such long term thinking conflicts with quarterly targets.
