The amount of memory you can put on a GPU is mainly constrained by the GPU's memory bus width (which is both expensive and power hungry to expand) and the available GDDR chips (generally require 32bits of the bus per chip). We've been using 16Gbit (2GB) chips for awhile, and they're just starting to roll out 24Gbit (3GB) GDDR7 modules, but they're expensive and in limited demand. You also have to account for VRAM being somewhat power hungry (~1.5-2.5w per module under load).

Once you've filled all the slots your only real option is to do a clamshell setup that will double the VRAM capacity by putting chips on the back of the PCB in the same spot as the ones on the front (for timing reasons the traces all have to be the same length). Clamshell designs then need to figure out how to cool those chips on the back (~1.5-2.5w per module depending on speed and if it's GDDR6/6X/7, meaning you could have up to 40w on the back).

Some basic math puts us at 16 modules for a 512 bit bus (only the 5090, have to go back a decade+ to get the last 512bit bus GPU), 12 with 384bit (4090, 7900xtx), or 8 with 256bit (5080, 4080, 7800xt).

A clamshell 5090 with 2GB modules has a max limit of 64GB, or 96GB with (currently expensive and limited) 3GB modules (you'll be able to buy this at some point as the RTX 6000 Blackwell at stupid prices).

HBM can get you higher amounts, but it's extremely expensive to buy (you're competing against H100s, MI300Xs, etc), supply limited (AI hardware companies are buying all of it and want even more), requires a different memory controller (meaning you'll still have to partially redesign the GPU), and requires expensive packaging to assemble it.

It's a good decision, but it's just a small step to stop overtourism.
Authorities should convince people to move again in the city center, but the house prices are skyrocketing even outside in the suburbs pushing people far away. Many shops are gradually closing or converting to restaurants/bars.
It's not a popular decision, but they must ban AirBnB and all the short term house rents as next step and heavily increase the tourist tax, especially for whom that are staying one or two days.

Probably more relevant are the Rust version policies: https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-version-policy
And the policies around unstable Rust features (at least they are acknowledged as a problem): https://rust-for-linux.com/unstable-features

They don't say what their policy is regarding building the C parts with GCC and the Rust parts with the LLVM toolchain (including the Clang parts that bindgen uses). Some kernel developers are very much opposed to mixing GCC and Clang in a kernel build (to put it mildly), and some version combinations are known not to work. On the other hand, it seems somewhat unlikely that distributions would abandon building the kernel with GCC just to be able to use drivers written in Rust.
Post gets 8m views as of this writing. Owner doesn’t want this message to get viral because then tesla gets flak for this. Takes the blame. Wants to share the message of FSD’s fallibility with everyone. Praises tesla for safety.

My head hurts with how oxymoronic this is. My best guess is he wants to critique tesla without triggering the ego and arrogance of its owner. “Thank you sir for doing treat work and for fixing this problem in the future”
We do, but they’re limited to much lower wattage due to the outlet limits. A typical US kettle is 1100-1400W, and takes maybe 1-2 minutes to boil. Kettles in the UK are typically 2.5-3kW.
Pure essential peppermint oil definitely works as a rodent repellent, even in very small quantities, although the effect wears off pretty quickly (that's the thing about essential oils, the essence is volatile). Plan to reapply every 3-7 days. Btw. the reason it works that that for rodents the sense of smell is primary, and mint smell overpowers everything else, so in its presence they are effectively blind.

Seems like a lot of steps but I have been looking for something like this. I want to read articles but I don't want the overhead of an internet connection distracting me. Seems like it's worth a shot.
Can we talk about how absolutely terrifying is that 600W figure? We're not transcoding or generating slop as the primary use case, we're playing computer games. What was wrong with the previous-generation graphics that we still need to push for more raw performance, rather than reducing power draw?

Thirding this, group manager at Microsoft. Throwaway as I post regularly under my professional account.

VPs have been explicit, in writing, that we are shifting heads to lower cost geos.

Hiring has been largely halted in the US for the bulk of non-business-critical roles to shift PCNs overseas, and there have been multiple waves of US focused layoffs to motivate this further.

While offshoring has been a topic for the last 20+ years of my career, this time, since 2022 or so, feels different even vs. prior recessions, and I expect we'll see continuing erosion in the quality of engineering positions and careers.
This, obviously, is one of the ongoing efforts and goals of Tesla AI, and the reason they collect so much data. There's some talk about it in the Lex Friedman podcast(s)[1].

You wouldn’t catch it if that lettering on that store looked fine.
Seems like a good tool for ensuring everyone is aligned.

Nit: The policy document seems inconsistent in its authoritative tone. In some sections, it hand-waves and punts to an external resource. For example: "Yes, there are key kernel maintainers who support Rust in the kernel. [Check out this PDF of keynote slides and figure it out yourself]."
> I can't place the cursor half-way through a ligature and so on.

That sounds like a bug in the editor. Ligatures are incredibly common font features even outside of programming, even sequences like fi are often ligatures.
AI will only raise the bar for the expected outcome of future programmers. It's just automated pair programming really.

The argument: "The New Generation of Programmers Will Be Less Prepared" is too cynical. Most of us aren't writing algorithms anyway, programmers may, but not Software Engineers which I really think the author is referring to.

Core libraries make it so SWE's don't have to write linked lists. Did that make our generation "less prepared" or give us the opportunity to focus our time on what really matters, like delivering products.
Except juniors are not going to be the competent people you're looking for to unwind those systems. Personally, no matter how it plays out, I feel like the entry-level market in this field is going to take a hit. It will become much more difficult and competitive.
Each one has to be a pressure vessel, so either we have a bunch more pressure doors on the plane, or each one has its own toilet, galley and staff. Sounds expensive.
No, not at all, it's absolutely cool to argue against specific decisions he made, but I just wanted to reject this attempt at sarcasm about his overall decision-making:

It's not supposed to be informative, it's supposed to be funny.

And while I'll readily accept that funniness is in the eye of the beholder, in my case it achieved its intended effect. I also read some other blog posts of the same author, and she seems consistently funny!
Yes, words mean whatever. See Saussure and Wittgenstein. To advance the claim that words are objective is to confuse the symbolic with the real.

This is generally regarded by engineer-types as false, but societal taboos and power structures can be revealed by noting what speech provokes the strongest reactions.
Do you mean running at a lower flow temperature when you say "reduce the temperature difference"?
I understood the writer's flourish.

If you want to understand my reaction, take two steps:

2. Check which of those are owned by Microsoft
We haven't gone down that road yet but would certainly an interesting proof point! :-)
Interesting. I have had the opposite experience. And i am happy that they're behind on the AI front.

Way too many tools force their shitty AI (API wrapper) upon me already. And i have yet to see any benefit.
What power supply do you have that even has a 20A inlet? 20 amp breakers are common for outlets (especially in newer builds) but the outlets are still 15A outlets. And there is essentially no desktop power supply that exists that would exceed a 15A outlet currently.
The fact that a Doctor has to be worried about this shit at all is damning. The fact that a patient doesn't even pick their insurance (mostly tied to employer HR) is damning. The fact that a group can own the whole vertical is damning. The whole mechanism is a knot and anything less than untying it is going to have scary consequences I think.
It also matters whether they are actually reachable at your convenience. A lot of business are virtually impossible to actually talk to unless you answer their call. They say to call back at your convenience, but you will only get their voicemail or an infinite waiting queue.
Not worth the trouble. This is such a cosmetic change to appease a specific type of developer but the effort to implement that across all the DB engines of note would be monumental.
I hope you find time for more fun hobbies than being a dick on the Internet.

I always start with "SELECT COUNT() FROM ..." for this reason, and then go back and replace the COUNT() when I get a handle on the tables/filters/groups involved..
I would happily pay through the nose for their language and refactoring features as some sort of LSP or plugin for other editors.

I use their products because that aspect is best-in-class for many languages, but the actual applications themselves leave a lot of be desired. Core text editing is pretty good, but so many Byzantine nested menus and odd Java fully-modal locks-out-the-background dialogs.

Various legal systems have varying definitions of what is and is not a legal infringement on property rights.

For instance, in (some parts of?) the UK there's the Right to Roam, I believe, which grants the public limited rights to pass through certain private property (such as an open field). Obviously this doesn't extend to harming anything. The point is, passing through someone's private property without causing any damage or inconveniencing them is not automatically considered unethical.

JetBrains is WAY behind VS-Code and its forks (e.g. Cursor) in terms of AI features.

Their own offering, "Jetbrains AI" absolutely SUCKS (just read the reviews, you'll see why).

Third-party AI plugins are pretty basic. Most just offer inline completions and a chat sidebar. For example, GitHub Copilot for Intellij is a shell of itself: No agent capabilities, or even model switching (although that seems to be coming in a future update).

Generally speaking, Jetbrains seems to have missed the AI code editor revolution, and are now trying to play catch-up. The problem is that their plugin API seems to offer less capabilities than VS-Code when it comes to implementing advanced AI features (think of cursor like features). This, combined with the fact that Intellij products are closed source and can't simply be forked by someone who requires additional capabilities, makes it hard for third parties to build advanced AI features.

PS: I also tested their new "Agent" plugin called Junie (invite only beta). It's really basic (like 30% as good as cursors agent mode), but since it's still in invite only beta this should be taken with a grain of salt.

Things need to be introduced at the right gradient. If you pile it on all at once, nothing is learned. If you want to teach someone how to use SSH to interact with a server, then that should be a dedicated chapter or portion of the curriculum. Once you are beyond that and it comes down to building programs, you need to eliminate that part of the gradient and focus 100% on mastering the task at hand.
> the UHC rep asked for her to call back when convenient (not in the middle of surgery)

I'll echo the above poster - when an insurance rep calls us we drop everything on the floor and rush to answer it because otherwise they will continue to deny our claim and not get back for weeks. Then they reject our claim because it's now outside their 3 month window.
I'm struck in these conversion essays how authors compare the worst people in their old belief system to the best people in their new one. For example aggressive atheists vs welcoming christians, or, in the other direction, firebreathing zealots vs rational atheists. Seems like an apples to oranges comparison, and not one to use as the basis for converting.

In the specific case of conversion to belief in the Christian God, the arguments presented seem to branch from a sense of wonder and awe, or even mystery (which even scientific endeavour can generate, eg cosmology) to selection of the specific biblical deity. Why that one, and not, say, the Hindu Atman or even a god we dont know about that the civilization on some distant star worships? It seems quite convenient. As a counterweight it would be good to read of conversion narratives from people outside of the Western tradition.

I am with CS Lewis in his observation that if Jesus was not the Son of God then it would be the biggest, ugliest fraud of all time. I dont make the leap that he does that Jesus must therefore be divine.

It's called "the ring of fire".
Dependency conflicts become an issue for large projects in any language. It's less of a problem when the language's runtime is feature-rich since libraries will be less likely to use a third-party HTTP client. You can choose libraries with fewer dependencies, but that only gets you so far. At some point, you can put the libraries in you monorepo, but upgrades come with a large cost.
Most development in this space (toolchain and kernel) is funded in some way. I don't know if this particular project is at some strange intersection where this isn't the case, but I would be surprised.

Not necessarily. They sent her a letter asking her to retract her post. If she refuses to do this, then they have grounds for knowledge and malice.
It's taboo to believe that LLMs can reason. People who believe this are systematically de-legitimized and framed as being out of or at least out of touch with reality.

This will appear as common sense or naturally true if you're inside the LLMs-cant-reason ideology.

I would guess that a doctor saying that she's having trouble dealing with an STD outbreak at a high school because the resources she needs are suddenly no longer available, or she has to take time out of a patient appointment to try to figure out where to find information (which are the some of the injuries alleged in the suit) is a much more compelling issue for most people.
I've been on this site since 2009 and never posted anything or commented on anything (I am just lurking and reading the insightful posts and comments always), but let me make this my first comment here, 16 years later after the creation of this account: Thank you to the original author (although he may never read this) for the long, insightful and well-documented article. Love all the footnotes too.

EDIT: Thank you to OP (although not the original creator of the blog post) for bringing this article to our attention.

I don't forsee this destroying prediction-based markets in the near-term. It might make them more efficient, but you could have different LLMs competing in the same way humans do now. Its also interesting how this could create markets for more things that aren't considered on as much now because they are too difficult to estimate. At the end of the day though, LLMs are limited by the information provided to them.

Lower voltage would be OK, but then all of the cables and plugs would need to be redesigned. And there would still need to be for voltage switching unless we start adding a protocol and have PSU switch voltage dynamically... which is also not efficient.

Since they went so far to create a new cable which wont be available on old PSU they would have easily extended that slightly and introduced an entirely new PSU class which has a new voltage also. But now they went the easy route and it failed which is even worse as they will have to redesign it now instead of it being safely done the first time.

Actually, the more I interact with ordinary, non-technical people, the more I want to retreat into the computing world.

Computers are much better companions than average fellow human-beings. They definitely don't beat people with technical mind but that's rare in the real world (read: not on HN/SO/etc.).

They live on logic and truth. They don't lie. They don't throw tantrums randomly. They don't backstab. If a program is wrong, then some human got something wrong -- either the programmer, or a computer engineer.

They are the best thing in the world for technical introverts. I still meet with fellow human-beings not because I want to, but because I have to -- arguably, meeting same minded people online is good enough, maybe even better than f2f.

How can I not love computing? Sure I might despise my job but I'd never despise computing.
