> I don't expect the US will default on our debt

This is tangential to your discussion, but it seems like Trump might be setting the stage for defaulting on US debt:

Forget Trump’s tariffs, the president’s bond market threat is worse (2025): https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/feb/16/forget-trum...

Excerpt:

“We’re even looking at Treasuries,” the president told reporters. “There could be a problem … It could be that a lot of those things don’t count. In other words, that some of that stuff that we’re finding is very fraudulent, therefore maybe we have less debt than we thought.”

The fact that Trump is now talking about "very fradulent" activity in the treasuries increases the probability I assign to the event that his administration will default on US debt. He will justify it by claiming that many/most of these debts are not real, and the government therefore does not need to repay them.

When Trump says something like that, take him seriously.

If you want to split tensorwise yes. Layerwise splits could go over Ethernet.

I would be interested to see how feasible hybrid approaches would be, e.g. connect each pair up directly via ConnectX and then connect the sets together via Ethernet.
I think the problem is with science reporting--they want to report things as a novel conclusion with far-reaching implications because it makes for a good story.

But yeah, no serious biologist thought dancing was exclusively human before this study. We've known for over half a century that bees communicate by dancing.
It depends on your bandwidth needs.

I also want to build the thing you want. There are no multi SSD
M2 TB5 bays. I made one that holds 4 drives (16TB) at TB3 and even there the underlying drives are far faster than the cable.

My stuff is in OWC Express 4M2.
>Which, at this point, why not just use M4 as a base?

I imagine that making those chips is quite a bit more involved than just taking the files for M3 Max, and copy-pasting them twice into a new project.

I imagine it just takes more time to design/verify/produce them; especially given they're not selling very many of them, so they're probably not super-high-priority projects.
Does it have "entry nodes" ? For exemple if I wanted to receive emails on my server while my home connection does not have an open port 25.
Call me Cappy Paranoid, but I fall into the camp of "You should never trust a service provider, ever," and build infrastructure accordingly; I believe this falls into an extreme interpretation of "zero trust".

So while also implementing Tailnet locks and other security measures to constrict traffic flow, I'd also consider going a step further by only permitting server or resource access based on client certificate validation (in other words, a client that's missing a trusted certificate is rejected from even attempting to initiate AuthN); that way even if your Tailscale network is compromised somehow, untrusted clients and endpoints can't make inroads into your infrastructure as easily.

Is that a gigantic PITA to implement? Oh heck, you betcha it is, and I doubt 99% of folks need to go that far with their homelabs or home services. Still, that'd be my approach to zero trust - trusting Tailscale only so far as enabling virtual networking, but not blindly trusting traffic coming over that network at any point.
Is there an alternative to Tailscale with a lower memory footprint? I wanted to run Tailscale on a small router, but it failed due to out-of-memory (OOM) issues.

Transmissible prion diseases might become an issue. Prions do not compost and they are very difficult to inactivate (denaturing the misfolded protein is the only way)
Ignoring arguments on semantics (the meaning of "strategic"), here's the difference between AAPL or NVDA and Bitcoin.

In the long term AAPL and NVDA market cap / stock price will converge to their future financial performance and historically speaking it's guaranteed that those companies will decline. So if you're looking for a really long term investment, it's not a good one.

This is different than U.S. buying Alaska from Russia. There's only one Alaska, if U.S. has it then no-one else has it.

Bitcoin was designed to have the same scarcity as land. There's only 21 million bitcoins and if you buy 5 of them today, no one else will own those 5 until you sell them.

If you believe that Bitcoin will become the largest "store of value" asset class that any person, company or country buying Bitcoin today will benefit compared to people / companies / countries that do no buy Bitcoin today.

Is such belief speculative? Of course it is. Buying Alaska from Russia was also speculative purchases. Not everyone thought it was a good deal and no-one knew it has gold and oil.

Is there strategic benefit to U.S. to owning scarce financial asset?

Well, U.S. does benefits from dollar's status as world's reserve currency. If Bitcoin does become planetary store of value and planetary currency, it's better for U.S. to own larger part of it than China or Russia or Iran.

According to Apple, the GPU of M3 Ultra has 80 graphics cores, which should mean 10240 FP32 execution units, the same like an NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super.

However Apple does not say anything about the GPU clock frequency, which I assume that it is significantly less than that of NVIDIA.

In comparison, a dual-socket AMD Turin can have up to 12288 FP32 execution units, i.e. 20% more than an Apple GPU.

Moreover, the clock frequency of the AMD CPU must be much higher than that of the Apple GPU, so it is likely that the AMD system may be at least twice faster for computing some graphic application than the Apple M3 Ultra GPU.

I do not know what facilities exist in the Apple GPU for accelerating the computations with low-precision data types, like the tensor cores of NVIDIA GPUs.

While for graphic applications big server CPUs are actually less compute constrained than almost all consumer GPUs (except RTX 4090/5090), the GPUs can be faster for ML/AI applications that use low-precision data types, but this is not at all certain for the Apple GPU.

Even if the Apple GPU happens to be faster for some low-precision data type, the difference cannot be great.

However a server that would beat the Apple M3 Ultra GPU computationally would cost much more than $10k, because it would need CPUs with many cores.

If the goal is only to have a system with 50% more memory and 40% more memory bandwidth than the Apple system, that can be done at a $10k price.

While such a system would become compute constrained more often than an Apple GPU, it would still beat it every time when the memory would be the bottleneck.
Yes there has to be magistrate approval and you can challenge a notice with legal representation.
The OP of this thread wants to keep spending the same and says that taxing the rich is the solution to our budget woes, so that's why the top marginal rates are relevant, and most state income taxes aren't as progressive as the ones in CA.

Your example of a CA resident who is making $400k is paying a marginal rate of 35% at the federal level and 10.30% at the state level (not 8.38%), which is above the EU average.
Microsoft gets that excuse, because it lets you run anything at all on your computer. Apple doesn't, because it only lets you run things approved by Apple. Instead of "why did you make this encryption system we can't break into? Trillion dollar fine!" it'd be "why did you let XYZ Corp install this encryption system we can't break into? Trillion dollar fine!"
The opposition to the bill is simple: KOSA was written from the start as a broad-spectrum censorship bill obivously designed to (among other things) suppress LGBT existence with the excuse of "won't someone think of the children".

For example, the censorship of any discussion of "illegal narcotics" - don't forget, all those state-licensed marijuana businesses out there are still illegal under federal law...
> red warning on every phone instead

This is silly. The average consumer will just avoid Apple products.
it's production ready, and has already been adopted by:

* RisingWave (https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave): SQL stream processing, analytics, and management.
* Chroma (https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma): Embedding database for LLM apps.
* SlateDB (https://github.com/slatedb/slatedb): A cloud native embedded storage engine built on object storage.
The neural engine is perfectly capable of accelerating matmults. It's just that autoregressive decoding in single batch LLM inference is memory bandwidth constrained, so there are no performance benefits to using the ANE for LLM inference (although, there's a huge power efficiency benefit). And the only way to use the neural engine is via CoreML. Using the GPU with MLX or MPS is often easier.
Yes. Here's the substance of the post:

What Are Stock Markets?
Stock markets are regulated venues where investors buy and sell ownership stakes in companies. These exchanges offer a structured environment that ensures fairness, transparency, and efficiency in the trading of securities.

Key Functions of Stock Markets
Capital Formation:

Companies raise funds by issuing shares through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).
This capital supports expansion, research, debt reduction, and other business initiatives.
Liquidity:

Stock markets allow investors to quickly convert their investments into cash by buying and selling shares.
Price Discovery:

Stock prices emerge from the interplay of supply and demand, reflecting the market’s collective view on a company’s current value and future prospects.
Investment Opportunities:

Markets provide access to a diverse array of companies, sectors, and asset classes for both individual and institutional investors.
Economic Indicators:

The performance of the stock market often mirrors the overall health of the economy—with rising markets suggesting growth and declining markets hinting at economic challenges.
I'm wrong. Too late to edit, correction below:

quaterions:
a*1 + b*i + c*j + d*k

rotors:
a*1 + b*xy + c*yz + d*zx

The representations I shared previously with zero real component are for the points under rotation, not the rotors themselves which have real components in the general form. Apologies for misinformation!

The exceptions are 0 degrees and 180 degree rotations (and 360, 540, etc...), which will have one and zero as the real components, respectively.

The Geneva Conventions have a very high bar for when suspicion can justify action. Article 22, for example, has:

> The following conditions shall not be considered as depriving a medical unit
or establishment of the protection guaranteed by Article 19:

> 1. That the personnel of the unit or establishment are armed, and that they
use the arms in their own defence, or in that of the wounded and sick in
their charge.

> 2. That in the absence of armed orderlies, the unit or establishment is protected by a picket or by sentries or by an escort.

> 3. That small arms and ammunition taken from the wounded and sick
and not yet handed to the proper service, are found in the unit or establishment

What evidence are you equivocating over?
Tailscale Funnel could likely do this.
AMD might be "competitive" but it's objectively worse. Also some games don't even support AMD's equivalent of DLSS. Also AMD sucks at inference, not even close.
This is pretty exciting. Now an organization could produce an open weights mixture of experts model that has 8-15b active parameters but could still be 500b+ parameters and it could be run locally with INT4 quantization with very fast performance. DeepSeek R1 is a similar model but over 30b active parameters which makes it a little slow.

I do not have a good sense of how well quality scales with narrow MoEs but even if we get something like Llama 3.3 70b in quality at only 8b active parameters people could do a ton locally.
Can I be in on the rug-pull?
If they added 1 byte, it counts.
Also, I go too fast through them and do stuff in my head that I should write down and make dumb mistakes, and when I get the "Incorrect" I'm like, yeah, I see exactly the dumb thing I did, let's move on, and it's like, no, let's do a next problem that's real nice and easy to make sure you get this and I'm like "stop patronizing me motherfucker".
Is that a CPU based inference build? Shouldn't you be able to get more performance out of the M3's GPU?
You're not charging your laptop 100% of the time. The Air runs like 12 hours or more on a single charge. A Magsafe port is useless all that time.
So the M3 Ultra is amazing value then. And from what I could tell, an equivalent AMD Epyc would still be so constrained that we're talking 4-5 tokens/s. Is this a fair assumption?
It's here.

"The Defendant went on to plead that the game was subject to a mapping error affecting the animations so the images which the Claimant saw when playing the game were in error, but asserted that the error did not affect the RNGS outcome. The Defendant accepted that during her play the Claimant’s screen showed that she had won a Jackpot because three Jackpot symbols appeared on the slot reels. An animation was then presented to the Claimant with the Jackpot wheel. The Defendant asserted that, as a result of the mapping error, when the wheel spun the pointer came to rest on the Monster Jackpot segment but should instead have pointed to a Daily Jackpot segment.

I don't think you can find anything in this form factor that would match the single core performance of M4.
I think perhaps you may have misread the article.

Here are some items that stuck out to me:

> As for American gold holdings, they’re essentially pointless: Fort Knox is a legacy of the days when the U.S. promised to exchange gold for dollars on demand.

> More to the point, bitcoin was created to be an alternative to the dollar, not a support for it. Far from strengthening the dollar, having the U.S. purchase billions of dollars of assets that were created to be alternatives to the dollar would at best be economically pointless and at worst would actually weaken confidence in the dollar.

so why other than fort knox, are you advocating for this position?

This seems like a reasonable reply from Brother. I have not seen verification (screenshots, videos) of what is being alleged. I wonder if it is poppin up scary messages or refusing to do some of the troubleshooting steps without a chipped ink cart.

I think you need to re-read some of the comments you are replying to. There is a 64 bit int type: https://ocaml.org/manual/5.3/api/Int64.html
You can use all 64 bits. There are also other int types, with different amounts of bits. For example, 32 bit: https://ocaml.org/manual/5.3/api/Int32.html
No one will stop you. You can use all the bits you want. Just use the specific int type you want.

I probably phrased it wrong. I need enough money to support myself throughout the grad school: decent room, decent gym and other basics. Yet I am not in it for money. If I prioritized a fat check I would have stayed in the industry as an SWE.

Europe has significantly reduced its reliance on Russian energy. Russian pipeline gas imports dropped from over 40% in 2021 to about 8% in 2023 (https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/where-does-t...).

Yes, some Russian oil still makes its way to Europe, often through indirect routes. In 2023, the EU imported 130 million barrels of refined products from refineries processing Russian crude, adding about €1.1 billion in tax revenue to Russia (https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/fossil-gas/eu-pur...). The EU is working to close these loopholes.

Meanwhile, EU financial aid to Ukraine in 2024 stands at €18.7 billion, compared to €21.9 billion paid for Russian fossil fuels (https://energyandcleanair.org/publication/eu-imports-of-russ...). But military support tells a different story: the EU and member states have committed €48.7 billion in military aid, including tanks, air-defense systems, and fighter jets (https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/military-support...).

The claim that Europe is buying more from Russia than it’s giving Ukraine ignores the scale of military aid and the long-term shift away from Russian energy. It’s not perfect, but it’s far from "shambolic."
What would be the appropriate number to hire, and how do arrive at the answer?
It's not word-count or details that I'm averse to, but purposeless word count. Patrick spends a huge amount of words alluding to why he thinks The Cut's story is total horseshit — and let's be clear, it was a comically bewildering story by any standards. But all of those details are pointless when the story abruptly concludes with "Well, she said it to the police so I guess it's likely not bullshit". If anything, I wanted more words of reflection by Patrick, explaining what made him so willing to bet an extravagant amount of time and money in investigating something so trivially affirmed? AFAICT, his skepticism starts from the assertion of "Banks just don't let an average person take out $50k in cash in a day". How is that assertion addressed by the fact that the victim gave the police a brief report of events? As if it wasn't possible that someone who fabricated this massive story in NYMag wouldn't also fib to the police?
My credit card does that too, and I can buy things with it almost anywhere. There is also a system in place to restore access in case I forget the magic words.
>do you think they should further be able to arbitrarly request payment on top of routinely arbitrarily reducing ad revenue share from the content creators work, which are already bolstering the platform?

Why are you moving the goalposts from "a cut of direct sponsorship money" to "arbitrarly request payment on top of routinely arbitrarily reducing ad revenue share from the content creators work"? It's fine to lament about youtube's capricious judgements on what can or can't be monetized, but there's nothing inherently "arbitrary" about asking for a cut of sponsorship revenue.

>A somewhat exxagerated comparison/Scenario: insulin provider provides you insulin thru paid insurance.They make X money, are profitable.You get used to this routine of getting meds, paying insurance, insurance pays med provider.

I don't see that happening any time soon. If anything, the current trend is the opposite, ie. brand-name drug makers charging an (inflated) amount to insurance companies, and rebating the patient's copay. There's also nothing fundamentally wrong with a company "double-dipping" (ie. charging both sides). Delivery apps charges both the restaurant and the customer, for instance.
There are estimated 420 million owners of Bitcoin. The "crypto bros".

We don't need governments to "bail us out".

The value of Bitcoin rose from $0 to $2 trillion without ownership of large governments (small governments, like El Salvador, did benefit from that rise).

It'll rise to $20 trillion without U.S. government buying it because we're still in very early days of Bitcoin adoption.

People, companies, countries need Bitcoin much more than Bitcoin needs them.

Some people, myself included, prefer text-based files as a user interface. Like, some Vim users won't leave their Vim session forever and would like to do everything in it. While SQLite is immortal software and will probably be there forever, using it means changing the UI/UX from text files to SQL queries or other CLI/UI operations. I think it's a preference for UI/UX style instead of a technical decision. For that preference of UI/UX, we can push on the technical end to solve some challenges.
