If you actually want to seriously do this, go with Nvidia.

This article is basically Intel saying remember us, we made a GPU! And they make great budget cards, but the ecosystem is just so far behind.

Honestly this is not something you can really do on a budget.
I know this is easy, but I still had to spend ~1 hour going through docs and videos- to start using the package in Julia comfortably . I think that writing it might help somebody in future. And as I use Python almost exclusively in my work, the blogpost also serves as a note for my future self.

I believe in some tenets when it comes to writing blogposts. Those tenets also have some elements regarding the choice of topic of a blogpost.

Here the key tenet was:

If so, why don't we see parliaments misbehave more often and do crazy shit?
Shareholders are the prime driver behind enshittification of platforms. Because they hold earnings calls every quarter and make the team extract more and more rents from their ecosystem, to make number go up.

But hey, the shareholder game already started when VCs bought in. I support every company developing a way for utility tokenholders to buy out shareholders. That way we fairly buy out the parasitic shareholder class so we eliminate the main incentives for enshittification!
This is basically a "the Emperor's new clothes" situation where the UK's constitution can only be seen by smart and educated people. (Yes, you have QCs [now KCs] saying otherwise, but that's exactly my point.)

Face it, if the constitution is "whatever the prevailing political elite class says it is", then you don't have a constitution.

That's not really how that works. Having good revenue prospects is traditionally a pre-req for going public (notwithstanding some tech exceptions)
Idk, I’m glad it doesn’t exist in iMessage. There’s enough other apps you can elect to use if you want such a feature, and you and the other party agree that your threat model necessitates this.

I’m already quite annoyed apple implemented unsend, and message edit. I’ve always disliked all these features since it puts someone else (the other party), in control of what should be your message.
It's definitely doable. The "'Momentum Limited' Orion" concept[0] has a delta-v of 10,000 km/s, which should be plenty enough to catch up to either of the Voyager probes. It can also carry ~25,000 tons of payload - that's a lot of spare parts!

Maybe the eventual enshittification would see the return of forums.

Don't matter if they spend twice the money on military if that money don't return, France has aircraft programs nuclear programs etc while spending half what Germany do

I was reading this thread on Bun's Musl based binaries, which can work on most distributions: https://x.com/braincode/status/1897228222695424100 when I saw a link to this problem.

What can people to do for a better musl - assuming other programs take the static link approach?
Yikes! One would have expected a little more code review or a design review from a hardware manufacturer, especially of security system. A system that people have been worried about since the Pentium FDIV bug.

I guess this one just slipped through the cracks?
As someone who considered applying to PostHog but never to Google (even though Google recruiters reached out to me, while PostHog’s did not), I can explain why they attract applicants.

First, in several countries, working at Google won’t make you rich—they don’t always offer the highest salaries in the region. You’ll have a comfortable life, but you’ll still need to work for the rest of your career. Second, Google is not a remote-first company, which is a dealbreaker for some.

My (perhaps flawed) reasoning was that, in its early days, PostHog was a very small company with a great product that people genuinely enjoyed using. If you received stock options, the potential for a big financial upside seemed high. Plus, working at a small company is simply more exciting—your contributions actually make a difference.
One thing which is particularly excellent about Gitea (and its fork, forgejo) is that it's quite lightweight for what it does. It's a single-process Go application with low memory requirements, and it can use a SQLite database (so you don't need a separate database server).
Thank you so much for your app, the app looks very minimal and neat. Too bad it's a Protestant Bible. Already downloaded and a review coming soon.
They both work on a sorted list of tokens by probability. top_k selects a fixed amount of tokens, top_p selects the top tokens until the sum of probabilities passes the threshold p. So for example if the top 2 tokens have a .5 and .4 probability, then a 0.9 top_p would stop selecting there.

Both can be chained together and some inference engines let you change the order of the token filtering, so you can do p before k, etc. (among all other sampling parameters, like repetition penalty, removing top token, DRY, etc.) each filtering step readjusts the probabilities so they always sum to 1.

> It was literally a free library, open to every member of the public

It is (or was?) possible for libraries to build reasonably durable collections of physical books that they can manage as they choose, shelf space permitting (and if not, books can be sold to make space). But as publishing shifts from physical to digital there is no first sale doctrine for ebooks, so they are controlled by license agreements from publishers.
Pretty sure this has absolutely nothing to do with Deepseek and even local LLM at large, which has been a thing for a while and an obvious use case original Llama leak and llama.cpp coming around.

Fact is Mac Pros in the Intel days supported 1.5TB RAM in some configurations[1] and that was 6 years ago expectations of their high end customer base. They needed to address the gap for those customers so they would have shipped such a product regardless. Local LLM is cherry-on-top. Deepseek in particular almost certainly had nothing to do with it. They will still need to double their supported RAM in their SoC to get there. Perhaps in a Mac Pro or a different quad-Max-glued chip.

> Systems like iMessage are still fully end-to-end encrypted even in China.

I do wonder about this. How can an authoritarian state allow a (very!) large foreign corporation to operate an important communications network without data transparency to their domestic spy agency? I am not normally a tin-foil-hatter, but I just assume that the domestic spy agency has a copy of the private encryption keys used for HTTPS/TLS. Then, Apple can continue to advertise "end-to-end encrypted" (in Mainland China), but the local spies can read the comms.
Really? So you can have your own Nextcloud server, connect over Tailscale and you’d face jail-time? I can’t imagine that.
Thanks for your 2nd reply :)
I'd also prefer everything worked out-of-the-box, but where the world fails, you unfortunately need to patch it. If it would have taken me more than 30 minutes I'd probably skip and learn to live with it, but it was kind of easy and i find it useful every day.. for the cynical part, i think you can't beat me on that, I'm in my late 40s and seen too much :)
Tried it for one of my kids, mini-review:

Emailed on sign up to be "personally welcomed and invited to respond with feedback, or any questions" So I did, because I want this kind of effort to succeed. Response totally ignored all content of the email and suggested he could delete the account for me(!)

From student, who is quite a way ahead of his peers in math.
"boring, annoying and stupid"

Account is paused due to the above, if we cancel it I'll be pretty annoyed given the unused portion and expense.

Khan Academy has very similar merit. You can donate a lot less than USD$50 / mth.

Maybe we got unlucky and the good intentions of "personally welcoming and requesting feedback, inviting questions" was lost due to getting snowed under so response LLM happened and totally ignoring follow up rather than being deliberately rude? Could well be.

Lotta hype about it, justified? I didn't see it.

Redo your analysis with something less absurd than 8%. For example 4.5% and you see no improvement in 100 years. 5% growth and it takes 59 years.

Historically major tax cuts in the US increased GDP growth by -1 to 1.5%.

You bring up a good point but in all realistic scenarios it actually misleads.
Okay, let's stipulate LLMs are compute and bandwidth sensitive (of course!)...

#1, should highlight it up front this time: We are talking about _G_PUs :)

#2 You can't get a single consumer GPU that has enough memory to load a 670B parameter model, there's some magic going on here. It's notable and distinct. This is probably due to FlashMoE, given it's prominence in the link.

TL;Dr: 1) these are Intel _G_PUs, and 2) it is a remarkable distinct achievement to be loading a 670B parameter model on only one to two cards

> A shell script which checks your $HOME for unwanted files and directories.

IIUC, based on skimming some of the code, this seems to be for people who want to layout their home directory according to the conventions that the XDG group suggested [1], well into the history of Unix-y systems.

For example, a given tool, `foo`, might've originally created a `~/.foo/` directory, which `foo` still supports for backward compatibility, but `foo` now prefers XDG convention `~/.config/foo/`. `xdg-ninja` can inform you of that, and help you move the directory.

For another example, tool `bar` might still default to config file `~/.barrc`, but `xdg-ninja` might advise you to move it to XDG-like `~/.config/bar/rc`, and to set `bar`'s `BARRC` environment variable to point to that, even though `bar` doesn't use XDG conventions directly.

Why just Wifi? With ARM chips you can also have LTE in your servers! (Better check with the NSA first - maybe all the existing Intel and AMD SoCs already have some form of wireless comm built-into it?).

They do that in many countries. Basically they check the likelihood of being a repeat offender and try to minimize that. Tax crimes become harsher than violent crimes because of it, for example… it is not popular amongst the population though.

Literally impossible.
CPUs don't have non-volatile storage for microcode updates; it gets uploaded on boot from a copy stored alongside the other firmware in a flash chip on the motherboard, or optionally later in the boot process when an OS loads a microcode update from some other storage device. So a malicious microcode update that's trying to persist itself doesn't have to monitor for attempts to update CPU microcode, it has to detect attempts to install a BIOS update that includes a microcode update, find and poison the microcode update embedded within that BIOS update, and subvert any attempt to checksum the flash contents before rebooting. Fitting an attack that complex into CPU microcode patches that are on the order of a kilobyte is extremely implausible.

I never understood this problem. I just create a Tor hidden service when I want to ssh into a machine behind a firewall.
Discord is an IdP and a hosting provider for voice/video/stream sharing.

Jitsi meet and mumble can do some of the services, but not for free and not as an IdP.

Also discord isn't encrypted E2E so I have to be honest, with AI analysis being what it will be soon, talking politics is honestly scary. No way the feds don't have hooks into it by now, esp. after that air force guy leaked secret data.

Unfortunately many universities are storing or downsizing their collections.

On one hand it seems logical that public domain books can readily be kept in digital form without taking up shelf space. On the other hand, the experience of browsing and serendipity that many find beneficial will be lost.
I wish more people did this (get the required context) before steaming in with recommendations tbh.

That said, I will steam in with some starting points that may be helpful.

1) An “anti-recommendation”: Probably don’t get Edwards and Penney unless you are forced to for some course. It’s _fine_ I guess - like you will learn from it, but it is staggeringly overpriced for what it is and there are enough typesetting errors and other little niggles that grate when a book is as expensive as that. The one good part about it is there are tons of problems but for many/most of them it just gives the answer not a full solution, so it’s not very helpful if you are stuck or your solution looks very different from theirs and you don’t know where to go from there.

2) If you want a free pdf or online resource, mathematics libretexts has “Differential equations for engineers” by Jiri Lebl, which is at least as good as Edwards and Penney and is free and you get the pdf if you want to download it https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Differential_Equatio...

3) Dover Books publish “Ordinary Differential Equations” by Tennenbaum, Morris and Pollard, which I don’t have personally but a lot of people recommend. It’s a Dover book which means it is cheap and some of the terminology and notation is probably a little bit old-fashioned but it’s going to be a lot cheaper than Edwards and Penney if you want a physical book and as I say a lot of people recommend it.

So to complement what the parent said, one approach if you’re not sure what type of book you prefer, is check out Lebl (because it’s online and free so easy to dip into) and then you can explore from there.

But don’t get Edwards and Penney. I got a cheap second-hand copy and I still think I probably overpaid.

I would add get a CAS. You could use wxmaxima (which is OSS) or get Mathematica or something if you can get a cheap student license. It’s going to help a lot to develop intuition by allowing you to plot direction fields etc much more easily as well as doing some of the heavy lifting of verifying solutions etc (although you really need to do that a bunch yourself so you get good at it).
There is also economies of scale. Steel is much more useful than gold. This means investments on improving mining and processing will lower the costs in the long run.
Fair point. I agree that everyone should have an introductory background in both. The tide at the moment, though, is STEM, STEM, STEM... Which I don't think does society any favors. I emphasize Humanities because that's the corrective movement needed right now.
I'd argue that rather than vote themselves money, they voted for sharing the exceedingly plentiful (relative to population) natural resources of their country.

But yes, that does seem to be a version of "vote yourself money" that is far less problematic than other instantiations.
I'd guess that they inherited it from the iPhone chips. It was nice and fast and also makes Apple a lot of profit as no third party RAM is possible.

> Your public library didn’t have inter-library loan?

Growing up before libraries had computerized databases, sure, they had ILL, but the books that weren't in their collection weren’t in the card catalog either, so you had no easy way of discovering that a book you might want outside of a library’s own collection (1) existed, and (2) was available through ILL. It wasn't until after the internet was generally available to the public that most public libraries I encountered had computerized catalogs with ILL availability.
No service has ever, ever, ever actually improved after its company went public.
> Uncontended acquire-release atomic operations are basically free on Apple Silicon

While I don't doubt you, the poster, specifically, how is this possible? To be clear, my brain is x86-wired, not ARM-wired, so I may have some things wrong. Most of the expense of atomic inc/dec is "happens before", which essentially says before the current core reads that memory address, it will be guaranteed to be updated to the latest shared value. How can this be avoided? Or is it not avoided, but just much, much faster than x86? If the shared value was updated in a different core, some not-significant CPU cycles are required to update L1 cache on current current with latest shared value.

I think your original post turned me on to static profiling. The same researchers have another paper out, https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/GraalNN%3A-Context-Sen...

This "10,000x" faster claim is specific to how long it takes to instantiate a client object, before actually interacting with it.

Turns out the LangGraph code uses the official OpenAPI library which eagerly instantiates an HTTPS transport and 65% of runtime was dominated by ssl.create_default_context (SSLContext.load_verify_locations) when I tested using pyinstrument. This overhead is further exasperated by the fact that it's happening twice - once for the sync client, and a second time for the async client. Rest of the overhead seems to be Pydantic and setting up the initial state/graph.

Agno wrote their own OpenAPI wrapper and defers setting up the HTTPS transport during agent creation, so that cost still exists it's just not accounted for in this "benchmark". Agno still seems to be slightly faster when you control for this, but amortized over a couple of requests it's not even a rounding error.

I hope the developers get rid of this "claim" and focus on other merits.

I asked who is "they" from this sentence.
Yeah, there's a physical copy of my dissertation somewhere in the library system of my old school [1]. On a whim, I went to find it a few years after graduating, and it was (is?) in a special section of the library where there's nothing but shelves and shelves of old dissertations, going back for ~30 years (older than that, and they only have microfilm, IIRC). Thousands of black-bound volumes, with obscure titles on every possible subject.

Being in that space gave me exactly the feeling you describe. Each one is an artifact of years of a person's life, in book form. I guess that's true of any book, really, but it feels particularly acute for something like a dissertation. Every one of those unread volumes was a moment of long-awaited celebration (literally commencement) for a person. Humbling.

[1] I had to pay for that copy, but I digress. It doesn't kill the romance. I'm a sucker.
Since it is a library, it won't be named lynx anyway even if there is no name collision. D3 is packaged as libjs-d3, for example.
