I wonder... LLMs currently work because they have a huge corpus of data to train against. Data generated by humans.

What happens when almost all available data is computer-generated? When no new training datasets are available? Will the models feed back on themselves? Will they stagnate and cease improving?

Perhaps we'll enter a world where everything new and unique made by human authors (text, art, source code) is jealously guarded in an attempt to keep the LLMs out - lest even a single model learn it and spread it to all the others almost instantly making the original author's work worthless.
Do the “dates” have any particular meaning?
I didnt have an opinion of them until I sat in one. I hated the interior. Its very much like silicon valley trying to reinvent things that work. People compare it to an iPhone but its like sitting in the Windows 11 start menu. The entire design language of car interiors built up over decades thrown away for no reason.

Shits me too because I kinda dig the retro aesthetic of the cybertruck. Its just completely destroyed by any truck made by any other company, electric or not. And even if you can mod it to be functional as a truck, you still have to deal with that interior.
You can target Android with Swift/Swift UI with SKIP.tools (skip.tools) and SCADE (scade.io), both of which use native controls on Android as well.
The truth about house prices and immigration
So as someone who is by no means an expert you are half right. The compiler doesn't have to guess what parts are parallel and it's very clear which ops are parallelisable but how you parallelise them is the name of the game.

So for example if you do a pattern of "do a small op to each part of a large block of data and then do another small op to each part of that block of data, etc" then at least in CPU SIMD (ex AVX) you end up memory bottlenecked.

However if you can do a bunch of ops on the same small blocks of data before moving on to the next blocks of data in your overall large block of data then said small blocks can fit inside the L1 cache (or in the registers directly) and that can run the CPU to it's absolute limit.

Hence it becomes a game of scheduling. You already know what you need to optimise but actually doing so gets really hard really fast. Albeit things like MLIR (which are still very new) are making this easy to approach.
You'll never guess how Hacker News feels about an article on design
> more content than most people watch in a lifetime

The average person watches more than 3 hours of TV/video per day, and 1 gigabyte per hour is on the low end of 1080p quality. Multiply those together and you'd need 1TB per year. 5TB per year of higher quality 1080p wouldn't be an outlier.
We're talking past one another.

I'm not suggesting that a few people become rich people's pets.

I'm saying it isn't inherent in human nature to mistreat other conscious beings.

If people were normally cruel to their pets, then I'd say yeah, this species just seems to enjoy cruelty and it is what it is. But we aren't cruel to pets, so the cruelty to workers does not stem from human nature, but other factors.

I gave one theory as to what causes the cruelty and that I'm somewhat optimistic that it'll run its course in due time.

Anyhoo :)
I missed the boat on the 80s but as a “hacker” who made it through the 90s and 00s there’s something deeply sad and disturbing about how the conversation around AI is trending.

Imaging telling hackers from the past that people on a website called “hacker news” would be arguing about how important it is that the government criminalize running code on your own computer. It’s so astoundingly, ethically, philosophically opposed to everything that inspired me to get into computers in the first place. I only have to wonder if people really believe this, or it’s a sophisticated narrative that’s convenient to certain corporations and politicians.
I literally can’t read this blog post because it keeps jumping to the top of the page to play the video again and again.

Maybe take 10% of the time you spent dreaming up new colors to just make your blog function like a regular page instead of adding a million weird animations?
> And have other EV makers seen more success or have they all had declines?

Others have seen big increases.

> Tesla almost 60% fewer cars in Germany in January than in the year-earlier period... The overall segment of battery-electric vehicles, where Tesla is competing, however, gained popularity in January, with sales up 53.5% at almost 34,500 vehicles across all brands.

> A total of 405 new Teslas were registered in Sweden last month, down 44% from January 2024, while registrations in Norway fell to 689, a decline of 38% over the same period, despite soaring overall demand for cars in the two countries.

I tried to find individual manufacturer numbers but couldn't. I did find this:

> Global sales of fully electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) rose 17.7% year on year to 1.3 million in January, the third consecutive month of slowing growth, the Rho Motion data showed.

> Europe reported sales of 0.25 million, up 21% from the same month of 2024.

> Robyn: To give YouTube a sense of motion, we created a dynamic red-to-magenta gradient. For the second color, orange and yellow were strong contenders, but magenta felt like the most natural pairing with our new red. Interestingly, magenta doesn't often appear in the natural world, so it symbolizes the imagination and evolution that YouTube embodies. We also placed the gradient at a 45-degree angle with magenta on the right, signifying forward movement.

Kinda reminds me of this quote

> There will be rich debates about the socioeconomic implications of Helvetica Light, and at some point, you will have to decide whether serifs are daring statements of modernity, or tools of hegemonic oppression that implicitly support feudalism and illiteracy.
I try not to be one of those people who resist any/all change just because it's change, but the gradient on the progress bar bothers me so much.
Image-to-vector software will produce an editable file out of a logo image.

And there is AI for that! Within seconds of searching I found something called Vectorizer.AI, and others.

Not sure how well they work, but the basic premise is that you could use any text-to-image AI to come up with a logo and then image to vector AI to create SVG that is likely editable.

If that doesn't work well today, it likely will in two or three years.
For the longest time I thought being an artist rarely paid. now, it seems that all you have to do is work for a tech company and market your "innovative" re-designs to the right people and you'll get paid big bucks for what amounts to little work.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that a project claiming to be "open source" provide the source code in some form. It needn't be on github (GP merely sites Github as an example), but there should at least be a link of some kind, whether a zip file or a git remote or something. It's not a requirement, but it is something that most people (reasonably IMHO) expect.

You should actually read Donald's book this is very well covered.
libffi doesn't JIT for FFI calls; and it still requires you to lay out argument values yourself, i.e. for a string argument you'd still need to write code that converts a Ruby string object to a C string pointer. And libffi is rather slow.

(the tramp.c linked in a sibling comment is for "reverse-FFI", i.e. exposing some dynamic custom operation as a function pointer; and its JITting there amounts to a total of 3 instructions to call into precompiled code)
This is just still a sample size of three for a data period that is stated to be less accurate" not "has lower values"

Just because the error isn't presented the same here doesn't mean it's error free...
I understand your point about labor replacement. Consider your POV, though: one person’s “menial” is another person’s stretch goal; one person’s “low cognitive effort” is another person’s maximum capacity. What of these people?

As the efficiency of our means of production increases, so too does its ability to leave behind those who are not your so-called “productive people.” Now, we have more than enough wealth in this country to solve that problem to everyone’s benefit, and I’d like to think that we will. However, some of those most directly involved and invested in bringing on the AI-powered future are literally right now attempting to gut the social safety net for the same country.

So, truthfully, I don’t believe a word of it. I think that an AI-powered future is just another ladder that the super-privileged want to climb and then pull up after themselves.
I agree. The subscription model is actually pretty decent at allowing you to find stuff from the creators you care about without having a ton of algorithmic "for you" content shoved in your face.

Yes, obviously YouTube does still wield enormous power over what shows up on the home page and in the "watch next" queue, but it's still overall far less invasive than the tiktok/reels/shorts model, and gives me way less cause for anxiety about the political motivations of whoever is pulling the strings on that algorithm behind the scenes.
Oh, thankyou for finally naming it. I've had a vague sense of anxiety for months seeing that gradient - like something is wrong and I need to fix it somehow. I just had no idea why I felt that way until I read your comment just now.
It has no build step. It builds when you run

It's like language implementations that nominally aren't "compiled", like Python, but nonetheless compile to bytecode when you run the program
At least until the last 10 years people would try and sell Toyota on safety and reliability. People who wanted to extract every cent out of the cars life would get a toyota because it would legit go the distance without failure. Dealer told me that it doesnt hold true anymore due to electronics. But old corollas are still legendarily reliable first cars for teenagers. And I recall the used market for old hiluxes is beyond belief.

How does the appointment of Bondi (AG) and Gabbard (DNI) fit into this evil plan? Are some women more womany than others? RvW was never 'settled law', it was a court decision and the Supreme Court said after 50 years, "enough is enough." Supermajorities of both parties neglected to codify it any which particular way or the other as a result of cowardice. It was our electeds that failed us, not the court. As the 50th year anniversary approached, you'd expect something to happen. I say this to everyone whether they are claiming victory or defeat. I didn't want it to revert back to the states, but generations of Congress evidently did.

Long term climate is not weather forecasting. Our 7-days are getting pretty good, though they run a bit warm (watch the high peaks on the temp forecast sink a little on successive days as they approach tomorrow.) Some of NOAA's long climate forecasts are actually a danger to NatSec because they misrepresent the likelihood and impact of severe Winter events. Go ahead, read between the lines of what I am saying.
Darn, it sounds like we are back to drag and drop in Thunderbird then?
The page's background turns to fairly unpleasant pink once you scroll past the middle point. Is that the norm for design.google blog posts or is it some kind of subtle messaging about the new gradient?

Also the replacement of the mouse cursor with that negative-color circle is visually interesting, but it suffers a lot from input lag which gets on my nerves.
Well, the image at the top absolutely is, and the article is written in that AI-favourite list with title headers format. It's also far too wordy.

Also the "Alternatives and Tools for Dependency Control" straight up broke and the newlines are literal \n's so whoever posted it didn't proof read it but still took the time to bold the many headers.

I'm just as surprised. Also, I was using Windows 11 LTSC 2024, not the standard version, which could impact the validity of my comparison.
There are industrial knitting machines, but they’re orders of magnitude more expensive, heavier, and tied to closed software ecosystems. They’re extremely capable, but they’re also far outside the hobbyist realm. The only real evolution on these old hobbyist machines is the Kniterate at $16k and 600lbs.

"But you pay for other things" is not a good excuse. It's not that the price is unbearable--it's that it exists at all. I'd also complain if the price was $10/yr or $1/yr. It's the principle. I'm not going to pay for a row in a database that doesn't cost the company anything, without grumbling about it.
Non-sequitur aside, what specifically do you want to post on YouTube that's not allowed? To me it seems like you have to go pretty far off the rails before they'll step in.
You know one of the hard questions here must be, what configuration exactly is it simulating? It has to be a configuration that simulates the same Game of Life at a higher scale. Any change you make to the configuration must also change the higher level configuration that it simulates.

As Americans retreat from the world, hopefully China, Russia, EU, Japan and other countries will continue to fund basic research in the sciences.
Quite a lot of German autobahns still don't have a speed limit. I lived there when it was West Germany.

I remember 90mph in lane one being normal and that was in the 1980s. 120+ in lane two was normal. Petrol was cheap back then - even in the EU. In the US gas was nigh on free! (or so it seemed to us).

I was given a scale model of an Audi Quattro rally car by a German chap when I turned 17 (1987). I still have it. That car destroyed all comers back in the day because it brought 4WD to the game.

Nowadays I drive an EV - a Saic MG4. I went to school in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, which is where the Morris Garage (MG) started off in around 1910. I can safely say that an MG4 is not a British thing at all.
Even if you pause the video it still jumps! What an ironic page to have this issue on.
I feel the same way when my AWS console asked me to take survey on the EC2 console. I replied that I don't know which version I was meant to comment on since it changes every other week, and that I hope someone gets there performance bonus. My favorite question was "it feels modern". Like just leave the damn thing alone. Rather than worrying about useless small tweaks like a gradient, make sure the core features of the product work.
We self-host on our own open-source product, but it helps to have a streaming data platform as a product. Not too difficult to write a connector-sink to S3. https://www.fluvio.io/

The caveat is that this is a general purpose data streaming product, so it isn't that opinionated or customized for logging. We still use logging custom frontends for browsing (e.g. grafana), but for core logging/monitoring/billing and critical alerts, it's just Fluvio.

Been looking at the https://coroot.com ebpf collectors to see if we can replace our sidecar sources recently.
Wouldn’t you say this is what the current ruling party of the government is doing to the USA? Seems eerily the same to me.
I use it as a sync tool for each new mail I receive.

My domain provider offers to me a very small mailbox. Enough for a couple of mails but way too small to use as an IMAP server.

So I run a dovecot IMAP server on my RPI and trigger for each new mail imapsync to copy mails over to my dovecot and delete mails on my small mailbox. Works like a charm and allows me to have a virtually infinite sized mailbox for very little money. Plus, all my mails are in my home under my control instead of lying on some server somewhere.

What do you need faster upload speeds for?
As they say: make it work, make it fast, and finally, make it cheap...

Time to make it cheap!
Two kinds of efficiency: (i) computing efficiency, (ii) developer efficiency

If you are doing everything on one machine you can keep everything in RAM, if you have more than one machine you're going to have to serialize all the data that passes between the machines and send it over some communication link which is never going to be as fast as reading it out of RAM.

The simple case is that there is not a lot of coordination needed between the machines but the coordination overhead can easily be worse than O(N) where N is the number of machines.

Developer efficiency may be more important than computing efficiency in many cases. Hadoop, like Bitcoin, blindsided the distributed systems community because it was so much worse than MPI [1] but MPI applications were being developed by PhD students and postdocs and with Hadoop you could replace your

grep ... | awk ... | sort ... | uniq | grep ... | awk ...

pipeline with a simple Pig script with no talent at all and have it run pretty fast by most people's standards on a huge dataset... Even though the MPI geniuses could get it to run 1000x faster.

I think this means that the cost of cutting-edge models such as o3 pro has become too high, and that ordinary users can no longer use them freely.
I fear that, even though it is clear that smarter models are optimal, OpenAI will use cheaper models for its own convenience.
Same experience- crazy. Had to use reader mode- except it doesn't have the full post afaict.
I cover design. Talking about design this way gives designers a bad rep. Understandably so.
If we had all the computers taken away, would we figure them out again? Maybe, but how long would it take?

Take it this way: it took decades for China to catch up on technology. Now they have, and what the Western world realises is that it's pretty hard to catch up.

If your whole nation becomes mostly reliant on AI, and another nation actually knows WTF they are doing, then it may become a problem.
I set up an old rotary phone via twilio as a house phone for our kids. They just dial 1-9, each number is programmed to a different family member. Their cousins also have one, so they can call each other whenever they want. It’s great to also have a phone that just rings in the house, for when you don’t care about getting a specific person.
Having kids radicalized me against cars more not less. Cars kill kids. Suburban isolates kids from their friends and in person activities.
Sorry mate, an old habit.

Thats amazing. Its in the uncanny valley where I can't tell if they're serious or if they're having a laugh.

It immediately makes me think of the song "Redesign Your Logo" by Lemon Demon. Pure comedy.
Wasn't aware of __arithmetic_fence, though there's an open bug ticket noting that it doesn't protect against contraction (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/91674). Still worth trying though. I was aware of GCC __builtin_assoc_barrier, but it wasn't documented to prevent contraction when I last checked. Appears they've fixed that since. Hadn't considered the IR / compilation speed issue. I'm aware of the broken optimizations, but they're not really a problem in practice as far as I can tell? You mainly lose some loop optimizations that weren't significant in the "serious" loop heavy numerics code I tested against at work.

P3375 is mainly about contraction, but there's other issues that can crop up. Intermediate promotion occasionally happens and I've also seen cases of intermediate expressions optimized down to constants without rounding error. Autovectorization is also a problem for me given the tendency of certain SIMD units to have FTZ set. I also have certain compilers that are less well-behaved than GCC and Clang in this respect.

My concern isn't accuracy though. Compilers do that fine, no need to second guess them. My hot take is that accuracy is relatively unimportant in most cases. Most code is written by people who have never read a numerical analysis book in their life and built without a full awareness of the compiler flags they're using or what those flags mean for their program. That largely works out because small errors are not usually detectable in high level program behavior except as a consequence of non-reproducibility. I would much rather accept a small amount of rounding error than deal with reproducibility issues across all the hardware I work on.
To be fair I don’t know how often elderly care workers are going to 6 different locations in a single day, but it’s hard to imagine it’s a very common thing. If there’s a large condo with lots of residents wouldn’t it be more efficient to hire a permanent employee?
Uhuh. Let me guess, you're a heterosexual white male?
the Republicans have been very explicit about making my existence a crime since the 1980s. These are the despicable people who made jokes about my friends dying of AIDS, who now want to make just mentioning my marriage 'sexualized content' and therefore prosecutable. Oh, and by the way, they want to eradicate my marriage, which had to be repeated because it was rescinded by a court decision affecting me and 3,997 other couples.

I want to be very clear, so let me say this: you are wrong, and have no idea what it actually means to be on the receiving end of discrimination.
If someone is looking for an out of box solution: This works fine with incus (former LXD). https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/

Some things are not namespaced yet in the kernel - so running Kubernetes in a namespace is not possible due to some network module requirements that are missing. NFS is another issue. SELinux might also be impossible.

But it's perfectly fine for most everyday needs.

What's missing is something like blkio but there is work in the openzfs pull requests.
Let's say that 5G is 10x faster than 4G. Why do you need faster than 65MBit download speed on a mobile phone?
