Which airports are these? Honest question. I've been flying frequently for 20+ years but the only complaint I can relate to is "overpriced food and drink". Definitely never had anyone sell me tickets or approach me to do a survey. So I'd really like to know which airports are these where these things are common?
I don't think it's that confounding, your enemies are just mad, and your abusers think of you more like a resource than an opponent.
Hey, I agree that he probably would never identify as a neo-Nazi. I think he thought he was being really cool and edgy throwing out the salute that was co-opted/adjusted by the Nazi party. The company he keeps still informs us on what he's willing to tolerate, and as I've laid out in your parent comment, he's chosen time and time again to endorse some pretty problematic ideas.
One of the hoped for benefits of this approach that’s described later in the paper. It’s not fully fleshed out what this will mean but the prospect is tantalizing.

"On a more philosophical note, we hope that latent reasoning captures facets of human reasoning that defy verbalization, such as spatial thinking, physical intuition or (motor) planning. Over many iterations of the recurrent process, reasoning in a high-dimensional vector space would enable the deep exploration of multiple directions simultaneously, instead of linear thinking, leading to a system capable of exhibiting novel and complex reasoning behavior."
In 2025 and beyond it is my sincere hope that we stop lauding articles that merely present problems without providing any substantive thoughts on how to solve them.
It's very painful to use JSON with regular SQL drivers, MongoDB driver is much better overall than regular SQL from a programmer perspective.
That’s most other languages though. English has the disadvantage that it’s the global lingua Franca so everybody has an opinion. In German, Beijing is Pekin, Turkey is Türkei, Kyiv is Kiew, Czechia has always been Tschechien even when you still said Czech Republic in English.

And also, to be fair, most names in other languages have a long history. I wouldn’t want people to call Germany anything but what it is called in their local language because for most European languages that’s a millennia of history packed into that name.
I doubt it is that efficient. Even though it has 48GB of VRAM, it's more than twice slower than a single 3090 GPU.

In my budget AI setup I use 7840 Ryzen based miniPC with USB4 port and connect 3090 to it via the eGPU adapter (ADT-link UT3G). It costed me about $1000 total and I can easily achieve 35 t/s with qwen2.5-coder-32b using ollama.

Ah... and what about the mythology of no work ?

Granted, there are vast amounts of wasted work hours these days, be it farmers producing food when 30% of it goes straight to trash or those poor souls stuck in bullshit office jobs. But this:

> Yet once upon a time, before time cards and power lunches, everything got done without work.

Is a straight-up lie.
A decade ago I read this same advice in "The Curmudgeon's Guide to Practicing Law": spend at least a little time trying to solve the problem before you look to how other's have solved it. One benefit is that occasionally you may stumble on a better method. But the more common benefits is that it helps develop your problem-solving skills and it primes you to understand and appreciate existing solutions.
> Is the author against the mutual and willing trade of goods between free individuals?

Trade offered! You receive: enough sustenance to live for a day and a roof above your head so you don't have to sleep under a bridge. I receive: your 12 hours of labour of my choosing.

Yes, it is a mutually beneficial transaction, and millions of people historically have accepted it. Yet somehow there is this nagging feeling it might not be "fair"... but that's absurd, isn't it? It's both completely voluntary and mutually beneficial, so it has to be fair. That's what "fair" means, after all, doesn't it?

Since it uses BSON it support more datatypes like date, binary, decimal, etc.

To me what they did looks exactly that -- being audacious in a calculated way that benefited them.
I've always resented the way "traditional" cultures are "preserved". It's like when people want to protect "authentic" locales from the corrupting influence of tourism. I'm grateful that my own culture is not (yet) seen primarily through this lens. Imagine the day when legislation makes exceptions for fentanyl as a traditional ritual substance of nomadic Trailer Americans.

To me the beauty of these things is in their liveliness, in the aspiration to flourish and grow, not merely to conserve a little longer, to spend one more night with terminal cancer before the inevitable.
There is nothing wrong with solid rocker boosters for that application. The issue is they failed to figure out figure out the limits and launched when it was too cold. (they also should have investigated when they saw unexpected non-fatal seal issues)

Solid boosters are more complex and so Saturn could not have launched on time if they tried them. So for Saturn with a (arbitrary) deadline not doing them was the right call. Don't confuse right call with best call though: we know on hindsight that Saturn launched on time, nobody knows what would have happened if they had used solid boosters.

Worth pointing out that you "only" get <= 270GB/s of memory bandwith with those Macs, unless you choose the max/ultra models.

If that is enough for your use case, it may make sense to wait 2 months and get a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, which will have the same memory bandwith, but allows for up to 128GB RAM. For probably ~half the Mac's price.

Usual AMD driver disclaimer applies, but then again inference is most often way easier to get running than training.

There is also an overlooked “tail risk” with cloud services that can end up costing you more than a a few entire on-premise rigs if you don’t correctly configure services or forget to shut down a high end vm instance. Yeah you can implement additional scripts and services as a fail-safe, but this adds another layer of complexity that isn’t always trivial (especially for a hobbyist).

I’m not saying that dumping $10k into rapidly depreciating local hardware is the more economical choice, just that people often discount the likelihood and cost of making mistakes in the cloud during their evaluations and the time investment required to ensure you have the correct safeguards in-place.

If that's the way this goes (that for a large program you only need a senior developer and an AI, not a senior developer and some juniors), then it kills the pipeline for producing the senior developers who will still be needed.

Sibling comment above says funnel hashing is greedy, elastic hashing was the non-greedy method that did even better.
>Intel on 18A is literally TSMC's 3nm process + backside power delivery, which means more power efficiency, performance also less heat.

That's a pretty serious abuse of the word "literally" given that they have nothing in common except vague density figures which don't mean that much at this point.

Here's a line literally from the article

>Based on this analysis it is our belief that Intel 18A has the highest performance for a 2nm class process with TSMC in second place and Samsung in third place.

Given what we currently know about 18A, Intel's process appears to be less dense but with a higher emphasis on performance, which is in line with recent Intel history. Just looking at the density of a process won't tell you everything about it. If density were everything then Intel's 14nm++++ chips wouldn't have managed to remain competitive in raw performance for so many years against significantly denser processes. Chip makers have a bunch of parameters they have to balance when designing new nodes. This has only gotten more important as node shrinks have become more difficult. TSMC has always leaned more towards power efficiency, largely because their rise to dominance was driven by mobile focused chips. Intel's processes have always prioritized performance more as more of their products are plugged into the wall. Ideally, you want both but R&D resources are not unlimited.

I don't really care about the minutiae of the technical implementations, I'm talking from the experience of pushing text into LLM:s locally and remote, and getting translation in some direction or other back.

To me it doesn't make sense. It seems like an awful way to store information about a fringe language, but I'm certainly not an expert.
That’s nice although probably not of much use to most people: iirc FLAC encoding was 60+x realtime on modern machines already so unless you need to transcode your entire library (which you could do in parallel anyway) odds are you spend more time on setting up the encoding than actually running it.

> But APEs have been a little finicky for me. I run NixOS as my primary operating system, and sometimes an APE will refuse to launch, or I’ll need to pass --assimilate to it and permanently turn it into an x86-64 Linux binary before it’ll work.

I wonder if anyone could expand on "sometimes"? Because I've got a llamafile on nixos that seems to work fine. I'd assumed that meant that APE+NixOS worked, but it sounds like it only works part of the time?
Mh. Is a comparison with OpenSSL or Snort really valid?

OpenSSL implements crypto primitives, which, as far as we currently know, are mathematically safe. It's clear cut, black and white, it either is implemented correctly and (as far as we know) safe, or it isn't.

Snort works based on fixed rules. It's black and white, either traffic is logged and / or blocked, or it isn't. Basic rules log entire classes of traffic, the ability to engineer around them is very limited. Specialized Snort rules are a cat and mouse game, though.

At least two of the three things ROOST wants to do are machine learning models. They are not black and white, they are fuzzy. Minor changes can be enough to fool a classifier without changing the real semantic meaning for humans.

I have very, very hard doubts Google, OpenAI et al. will release Open Source classifiers which they will actually also use themselves.

Either they will try to get perfect recall, then it certainly will have (probably massive) overreach. Or there will always be false negatives. In the latter case, ML classifiers are IMO the one thing where security through obscurity not only actually works, but is the only thing which keeps them working at all. If you can freely train on an imperfect classifier, you can fool it, no?

I would love this, I like the Open Source approach a lot, but I cannot imagine how this should work in practice.

Also: How should third-party companies be able to reliably "set their own rules" on a probabilistic ML model, anyway, without training it themselves? The thing Roblox published[1] is a classifier for 6 categories. Sure, it's nice that you can e.g. say "I only want to filter profanity" this way - but what constitutes profanity is not controlled by you, but by the whims of a US company, even though this very much is not a globally homogeneous standard.

There's a healthy secondary market for GPUs.
I've heard so many lies in support of "cheap solar" that I've lost count. Environmentalists may be the least honest political cohort in existence, which is saying something.
It's a paper by people who get paid by the government because they claim to be doing political science: that is, studying politics and society in a neutral, scientific way to obtain generalizable conclusions. They present what they claim is a novel finding, in fact they say that "little is known of the relationship between party politics and the spread of misinformation" and that their paper addresses this problem.

In this case one of the authors is funded by my local government yet they claim at the bottom of their article they received no funding to do this work, so that's yet more misinformation and it's my money being used for this, which is pretty irritating.

If they wanted to write a personal politics blog there's Substack. They aren't: they're pretending to be scientists, like in tens of thousands of other papers out there on the same topic.

It should just vary based on language. In English it's "English Channel", in French it's "La Manche", in Italian it's "La Manica" etc. etc.

It's not a UK vs France thing, it's just English vs French (vs every other language).

Things get complicated when governments make things "official", though. For example, the Welsh government decided to make the "official" names for some places Welsh, which English speakers have no idea how to pronounce. So the Brecon Beacons is "officially" Bannau Brycheiniog, even in English, apparently.

Hence why I like going by train tbh. A long-distance train (well, long-distance for German standards. Probably grocery-distances in terms of the US standards) reaches the main company office in 5 hours or so, while a flight (including all of the stuff around it) takes about 3 hours.

Except with the train, I can just drop myself into the seat 10 minutes from home and go to sleep / work / do other things for those 5 hours without a care in the world.
No copy => no copyight infringement?

Terabytes of training data reduced to a model that fits on a memory stick. The models can certainly spit out bits and pieces, but I haven't seen any evidence they can recite back an entire book.

(I argue that what the model is doing is a lot less like copying, and a lot more like learning).

I like the idea behind bcache, sadly it was never mainlined in the upstream kernel, because the maintainer is generally uncooperative with the community and is building his own walled garden because btrfs was "Not Invented Here".
I think the solution is already in the article and comments here: go cheap. Even next year the author will still have, at the very least, their P40 setup running late 2024 models.

>If someone you know is treating them poorly

That's the thing though, re-read what the author said very carefully:

"that person is your enemy, even if that person has always been cool to you in the past, ... or your partner has never actually met the person."

If your spouse decides for any or no reason to hate your friend that they never even met, you're just an asshole if you then decide to mirror that sentiment just because.
Eventually I'll get to actually rolling a POC/tech demonstrator that just has less modules at perhaps less current density, for showing that even several kV DC can be efficiently transformed not just on paper to few or sub kV DC. At enough voltage grounding is no longer optional anyways, so might as well do essentially an auto transformer plus extra protection to protect humans against electric shock (RCD doesn't work directly, but the functionality can still be offered, it just has to sense quite differently).

Why DC? An overhead line only limited by peak voltage (arc) and thermals can carry twice the power when running DC instead of AC, assuming both measured relative to ground.

Also, you can run you transistors completely steady-state at all frequency components between their own switching fundamental and your load transients.
No more over provisioning just to make up for legacy 50/60 Hz AC.

Also, to a degree, you can just plug raw batteries in with that be DC grid, at most having a little bit of DC regulation to force the voltage a bit higher/lower than the batteries.
Like, a power supply basically rated to a couple percent of the battery input/output max power: only need to move the small extra voltage, though ofc at the full current.

Lastly, DC converters are just way smaller and lighter, so you could avoid the heavy bulky transformers in trains and alleviate power limiting from them. Relevant for fast double-decker trains because you'd prefer to have human space where you currently park the transformer.

I have to say though, novel development of technology by pulling recent innovations in the fundamental/material science fields underlying the target, is very not an easy thing to do.
I'm not going to say if this author is successful or not, but isn't the first step to addressing a problem identify there is one? Step 0 of stop, drop, and roll is to say to yourself "You know what, I think I'm on fire."
The way you write seems to imply you have professional experience in the matter, which makes it very strange you're not getting what I'm writing about.

Nobody ever talked about clamping - and it's not even relavant to the discussion as it doesn't introduce discontinuity that can cause aliasing.

What I'm referring to is shader aliasing, which MSAA does nothing about - MSAA is for geometry aliasing.

To illustrate what I'm talking about with, an example that draws a red circle on a quad:

The bad version:

gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(1.0 - step(0.25, distance(vUv, vec2(0.5)))) * vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 1.0);

The good version:

gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(1.0 - smoothstep(0.24, 0.25, distance(vUv, vec2(0.5)))) * vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 1.0);

The first version has a hard boundary for the circle which has an ugly aliased and pixelated contour, while the latter version smooths it. This example might not be egregious, but this can and does show up in some circumstances.
Yes. This is why I don't mind taking like an 8-10 hour train when I go to vienna from amsterdam even though the flight takes way less time. Because tbh, just getting to the train is mindless, you simply show up and find your seat. There isn't anything more to it.
Modern development is not as much about writing "good code", but just as much about good communication. There is a very real risk of losing good communication when outsourcing.

True, your mileage with Wayland will vary, depending on your HW, distro, compositor, etc. Xorg is more mature (check it), and also this just popped up in my news feed: <https://rubenerd.com/boring-tech-is-mature-not-old/>

For better or worse, Wayland is where all of the attention is right now, and there already are systems (like Asahi Linux) where Xorg is unsupported. The world will continue moving forward, sticking with Xorg may prove more difficult over time, so TinyX may be of interest even if purely for the sake of continued maintenance.
