Similar to the Sears bit in the article: My company's phone number was one digit off a national-scale garage door manufacturer's RMA line. Even though the auto attendant clearly says our company name (which sounds nothing like the garage door company's name) we would get a couple messages a week to the general delivery mailbox from Lowes and Home Depot stores around the country. The garage door company must have changed the number because the calls tapered-off after a couple of years.
It seems odd to me, abstracting a bit from society as is, that architecture isn’t the main occupation of nation-state level entities. It’s like the single most important defining feature of the cities and yet totally under explored. Anyways I’d love to visit (another) planned city. They’re always amazing and terrible in exactly the inverse of the amazing and terrible in (relatively) unplanned cities.
Smallest official city in the UK is St. Davids, with ~1,750 people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Davids
Fantastic video, the methods are explained super clearly.

Also highly recommend David Butler's "How far away is it" video series. He covers the same methods, and spends a good amount of time discussing phenomena along the way (star life cycles, magnetars, black holes, galaxy mergers, etc).

Markdown is often, and was originally intended for, HTML generation. But that's not the only target which can be achieved, particularly with such tools as Pandoc, a document format interchange Swiss Army knife.

Relying on format-specific tags imposes stronger constraints on endpoints and/or increases complexity of your document build process.
Small, quiet, and more energy efficient is a good start.

I also saw that while it competed well with a 4070 at average frame rates, that the 1% lows were twice as fast. The speculation I saw was that the 12GB vram limit was causing issues on the Nvidia side.

Having twice the bandwidth, dynamically allocated VRAM, and very decent cores seems like a solid workhouse that it's more about better worst case performance (when you are heavily cache missing or running out of vram).

Sure some will buy a top of the line CPU from Intel or AMD, buy a larger case, and buy a RTX 5080 or 5090, for the 98% of the rest this strix halo will be plenty and will use less power, create less noise, and generate less heat.
love this... would love to discuss more (but not quite sure who you are)... hit me up via other channels?
I think my problem is my knowledge isn't very domain specialized.

I know many tips and tricks that you might thank me for telling you about software but they are sparsely connected to each other. They are connected by my journey of software engineering and the interests I gathered along the way.

So blog might be the way to go. I am going to create my first blog now.
Most of my personalizations are through aliases, but another no-brainer is

reflogExpire = never
reflogExpireUnreachable = 150 (or another high number)
scott grey figured out this exact thing and more back in 2015 for maxwell, and it's been written about many times since by other people.
Why is so much attention being given to the spin they put on it, rather than the underlying technology (24/7 monitoring) which causes hypervigilance, alienation from work, chronic stress, fear, paranoia, and all the consequential negative health impacts? I don't care if the company spins it in a good or bad way, the spin is completely irrelevant.
This sounds like a joke with a lot of truth, even if it is offensive.
These days if you want a PostgreSQL based Data Warehouse both Citus and Timescale are extensions/PostgreSQL based databases I would consider before Redshift.

But even in the 9.4 days (~a decade ago) I was pushing Terabytes worth of analytics data daily through a manually managed Postgres cluster with a team of <=5 (so not that difficult). Since then there have been numerous improvements which make scaling beyond this level even easier (parallel query execution, better predicate push down by the query planner, and declarative partitioning to name a few). Throw something like Citus (extension) into the mix for easy access to clustering and (nearly) transparent table sharding and you can go quite far without reaching for specialized data storage solutions.
I have seen so many millions of dollars thrown away by the government on projects where nothing was delivered. All the consultancies made out like bandits. Over time it's better for government to be very small and not get involved in too many things. They cannot execute and everything gets bastardized over time.
So cool for LLM inference, wish they had the cajones to ship some soldered lpddr in a laptop form factory for the bandwidth, but i guess ill have to wait for the lpcamm generation to arrive
ASK HN: How do you explain AI to non-technical teams?
ML/GPT models can feel opaque to people outside engineering. If you’ve had to communicate model decisions, risks, or limitations to stakeholders, what worked and what didn’t? How do you build trust and understanding around AI’s outputs?
A lot of people at Reddit told me that it resembles SmallTalk, Factor, and Forth. Being someone who started coding in last decade I have only heard the names but never saw the syntax, but true it looks surprisingly similar. I can't really fathom that people actually built stuff in those language (probably better things that we build today)

> That's a tough comparison to make. The framers lived in a drastically different world with regards to the size and scope of the federal government.

That makes it more, not less, important for that expansive government to be highly responsive to elections.

I don’t quite follow the first bullet point. If you are doing public speaking, your client is rendering the slides, right? Won’t you be the one interpreting “accentuate?” (So you can make it fit whatever convention you want).
Similarly, if you do not trust a particular escrow agent then do not use that escrow agent.

I can imagine a likely objection. "But I'm forced to use this particular agent by [ tech company | employer | government ]!" I don't see how that's any different from needing to communicate with a particular person. If I need to communicate with someone and I don't trust them not to share things then I will (must!) compose my correspondence accordingly.

If the government is forcing this on you, well, what is the alternative? Is point to point encryption somehow better in that scenario? Either way they're getting copies of everything you write assuming that the service you're using abides by the law. With key escrow that snooping is more explicit and there are fewer unknowns for the end user.
Wow. That attitude is reprehensible, especially from people who claim to know the dehumanization of factory work, firsthand, as I have too. Celebrating it and gleefully aggrandizing it is... unimaginable.
Circulator eggs never made a whole lot of sense, because you already have a reference temperature to work from and so cooking any number of them is just a matter of setting a timer (do what the Ideas in Food people do and steam them).

I can't remember the last time I circulated a steak. But we did a rib roast for Christmas, and I did that in the circulator, in advance, "for insurance purposes", and then cooked it off in a ripping (toaster) oven on the day.

There is no better way to prepare sausages. I would replace my Anova circulator immediately if it broke, simply so I can keep going to Paulina Market, buying a couple of every sausage, circulating them all, and keeping them in the fridge/freezer for ready-to-go meals.
I would not want to work in nightmare this is creating... this indeed looks like dehumanizing, we are not robots

Transcribing podcasts with large language models
Markdown is also missing:

- Diagrams

- Math

- Any custom blocks - like Figures, algorithms, image boxes, etc

- Numbered chapters / sections (Eg Chapter 1, Appendix A, etc).

- Semantic references

For readmes, thats fine I guess. But I miss all those features when I'm writing proper blog posts, articles and documentation.

There are various hacky workarounds. But as soon as you start using bespoke markdown extensions, you're locked out of 95% of the markdown tooling out there. And everything feels so janky.

I'm looking forward to Typst's HTML output getting more mature. Typst is the only typesetting tool I've ever used that is both enjoyable to use and powerful enough for the kind of documents I want to write. It manages that by being a full on programming language. You can define variables and write custom functions for reused blocks. And there is an ecosystem of 3rd party typst packages. For a paper I wrote recently, my benchmarking tool spat the results into a JSON file. My document loaded that JSON data directly, and used the benchmarking results to populate charts and tables in the paper. It was crazy cool.
Tesla or EVs in general?
I think the numbers can work out for either, but depend largely on your solar install cost and rate.
I've noticed this in interactions between high caste and low cast Indians at my job. Many High caste Indians have a level of arrogance towards low cast Indians that would make a Goa'uld system lord embarrassed. They truly feel entitled to their subservience and cheap labor. It is remarkable. I'm not sure if anyone born and raised in the US has the same degree of entitlement. You would have to go back to slave plantation owners in the US South.
Wait, what? Scanning every recent year for individual model and/or company total sales Tesla doesn’t even crack the top 10 in any given year. How does Tesla make the best selling car? What am I missing…

Edit: I didn’t scan close enough… in 2024 the Y was around the 4th best selling Model.
I don't want to pile on but it seems like a lot of "going on feels" versus any quantifiable justification.
That's horrible. Also, shame on ycombinator for deleting the LinkedIn post, that's spineless.

If they just had stated afterwards "oh crap, we really did not think this through, and were being absolute monsters by choosing to back this", that would have been much better.
Lawyers are highly political, as we saw during the Trump administration. The ABA, for example, has been peddling completely absurd ideas, like that rhetoric Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified.

Reversing Trump’s immigration policies is one of the first things Biden did: https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_biden-signs-executive-orders-r...
Right, like the mac studio ultra.

I think this feature is already in qownnotes.

Surprised , nobody mentioned qownnotes

Edit: I was wondering how to enable this mode because it wasn't in my qownnotes ,Here's how I found it , go to the help section , click find action , and search preview and click on show note preview panel.

Now the caveat is that if you want to see it blitted , you have to save the file once to see it automatically show in the other side.
Maybe this can also be definitely automated / I feel like there was some feature that did that for that as well or atleast its very non trivial.

Edit 2 : okay so I just realized that qownnotes also ships with autosave feature which saves and thus also shows what you type in reader mode in like a 0.5 second delay. And I think there is also a way to decrease / increase the autosave part as well

Dude , I didn't realize it , but qownnotes is so good!

Yeah, Lenin's complete takeover of the socialist/communist movement was not a given. Kerensky was much more of a moderate (and IIRC was running the Provisional Government from about July 1917 till about September, up until that point the Bolsheviks were in the minority). Had he succeeded and Lenin been unsuccessful in taking over the revolution it seems possible that Russia now might look more like a northern European democracy. Lenin wasn't the brightest and he wasn't the best orator, but he did have the work ethic - he essentially outworked his rivals and took advantage of every opportunity to make them look weak.
This is like when I worked at UPS loading trucks over the summer and they recorded how many packages I scanned in 15 minute intervals and I was slower than they wanted. It sucked.
Depends on the model, but a highly knowledgable but inexperienced and prone to guesswork junior developer is what I could call ChatGPT.

Government lawyers absolutely failed to represent the Trump administration as aggressively as they did the Biden administration. There are reports of political appointees having to follow PACER themselves because staff lawyers weren’t keeping them up to date on cases.

And yes, Biden enacted mass immigration policies. Revoking Trump’s EOs was one of the first things he did: https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_biden-signs-executive-orders-r.... He also granted TPS to hundreds of thousands of immigrants, created the CBP One app to facilitate illegal immigration, etc.

This isn’t even really disputed. Border crossings are already down 60%: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-era-southern-border-s.... Migrant shelters are being shut down, migrant caravans are being turned around, etc.
Yes, very, but so far they haven't mentioned the memory bandwidth.

I found this very insightful, and quite a good summary and overview of what you can expect from an LLM

https://thebullshitmachines.com/
If you are a person who thinks diversity, equity, and inclusion are by definition determinants or waste, fraud, and abuse, then sure, you aren't going to see this as something totally different. So when Trump threatens to disrupt and destroy funding streams to agencies and institutions merely for referencing or addressing those things, i guess that's just part of the government being efficient.

Waste, fraud, and abuse are completely subjective and at this point arbitrary terms to a guy who thinks Putin is aces, calls Zelynsk is a dictator, and claims Ukraine stayed the War with the country that invaded them... twice. If he's unwilling to recognize a shared reality and set of objective truths with us, how would we not be complete idiots to believe his version of waste, fraud, and abuse comes straight from the upside-down and its real value is as a catchphrase that capitalizes on people's preconceptions of the government.
I am a fan of open source and being able to tinker etc. But I've never felt the need (advantage?) to do more than just use the bios/efi to boot or configure a few basics.

I've been burned by a small SBC that had poor support, but on laptops/desktops never felt limited.

But people always sound so excited to libreboot their personal computer... Am I missing out or is it just nerd cred?
Yes that’s totally true. I have seen huge orders being cancelled at last min due to few days delay. Factories loose contracts over minor issues.
The whole mass production phenomenon is very unhealthy esp in fashion where trends changes every week; the pressure to churn the production on time is even greater than other industries.

Not every factories are sweatshops; even good humane factories are under tremendous pressure to run efficiently. Running a business efficiently isn’t a crime.
However I do agree that the demo could have been a little more better.
The activation function throws away much of the dynamic range of floating point numbers, it's relatively clear that having a lot of range where the activation is already saturated is unlikely to be useful.

Keep in mind the digits is part of their server line and server OS, not the random embedded dev kits often used for developers targeting car entertainment systems and often with abandoned kernel + driver.

The nvidia digits uses DGOS, same as their grace+hopper and similar enterprise/cloud products.
People have been trying this for decades. It's always failed. You can't retrofit safety onto C without breaking compatibility, and if someone is willing to break compatibility they've already switched to Rust.

They should work just fine, sure peak bandwidth will be limited, but most workloads are not bottlenecked by I/O bandwidth on PCIe 4, but are limited by IOPs which should be decent on the 9100.
They could have added a 16 lane upstream, 32 lane downstream PLX switch to packet switch between those devices.

Correction, that is how common law legal system works.

Lots of people have posted videos on social media showing this is (was?) very real. It seems intentional. And the PR isn’t great, considering just today Apple affirmed it will be sticking to DEI policies. I doubt any high up leader would approve this kind of “feature” but the culture of the company, including DEI culture, probably enabled an employee or two to build this in. And now we can expect some convoluted explanation of how this wasn’t a purposeful political thing, even though it seems like such issues always target one side.

Bit of an odd one really, they've introduced modularity and customisation to the laptop market where there wasn't any.

But they have now introduced reduced modularity and customisation in comparison with what's available in the desktop market. CPU is soldered, RAM Is soldered and the GPU is soldered.
Indeed, I also realized that bookmarks are worthless on the long run. When choosing a note taking / knowledge management app, the main decision point was if it has a Firefox extension that can capture a web page into markdown and automatically save into my notes.

I used to use Joplin, lately switched to Obsidian. Both offer this functionality.
List is available after paying. Which makes a lot of sense.
I fail to see why would anyone do it (beside trying it out for a few minutes). Sweat my GPU to oblivion, so others can use it for something that doesn't actually need my GPU, without getting anything in exchange?

Of course probably it's just me, but I don't see any practical use of this.
This might be rendered moot by native microscaling support in Blackwell (MXFP). They've manually done a coarser-grained version of that for Hopper, but with full FP32 scaling factors.
Maybe I'm getting old and jaded, but I don't really care about what the CEO or company does.

Nearly every time I (and likely you) buy something, it's produced by, transported by, funded by, owned by a company or in a country that has been found guilty of repeated human rights violations. Literal genocides in an alarming number of instances.

It almost feels cathartic for the externalities of the society we've built to be burdened by us, rather than someone in another country.

That being said, I agree with the self-interest aspect and would also prefer not to be targeted by extremists on either side. The real trick is figuring out who that's going to be ahead of time - my money would have been on Chinese EV's being hit before Tesla.

Is it really surprising that people might expect "Hacker News" to follow the basic standards of respectable news outlets?
The difference in price between a flight on Frontier or Spirit, and someone else, or the price between a flight on United in economy vs premium, says that they have worked out a price on basic respect. The fact that people keep giving money to Spirit and Frontier say it's a tradeoff people are willing to make.

They can choose not to treat people like crap, but I don't know about you, but when I go to the store, and the thing I want is made in China for $20 or not for $30, I have a hard time wanting to choose the $30 one over the cheaper one, and factory owners know this.
You can learn a function that embeds diffs with vulnerability A near each other, and vulnerability B near each other, etc which is much more efficient than asking an LLM about hundreds of chunks one at a time.

Maybe you even use the LLM to find vulnerable snippets at the beginning, but a multi class classifier or embedding model will be way better at runtime.
Keep it server side, and solve your problem without client side Javascript.

Otherwise you don't.

Compared to what exactly? The ad-fueled, SEO-optimized nightmare that is modern web search? Or perhaps the rampant propaganda and blatant falsehoods on social media?

Whoever is blindly trusting what ChatGPT is spitting out is also falling for whatever garbage they’re finding online. ChatGPT is not very smart, but at least it isn’t intentionally deceptive.

I think it’s an incredible improvement for the low information user over any current alternatives.
That's not the only alternative though. Why are experts not involved in the interpretation and it's left up to how two seperate non-technical groups interpret it?

Other countries have legal specialists for different areas and update their laws continuously based on expert opinion, common law gets expert testimony but is based on generalists to make the final determination
"What's wrong is the bait and switch,[..]"
