This is downvoted but for those outside the US it's actually true. Or more specifically once the new admin began acting erratically.

For instance, in Canada he has repudiated a trade agreement he himself negotiated in his first term and threatened repeatedly to annex us.

Americans who treat foreigners as abstractions shrug off that sort of thing and assume you can go back to normal but reliability is shot and trust is broken.

In term one the remaining vestiges of Republican and state apparatus ensured continuity on many fronts. That's all gone.

As a resident of Kitchener ON, I'm privileged to live in one of just two Canadian ridings represented by the Green Party— I worked on Mike Morrice's first campaign in 2019, and I remember being frustrated trying to talk to voters on doorsteps and having to explain over and over that the purported "polls" on 338 (Canadian knockoff 538) showing us at 3-4% support in the riding were based on projecting forward previous results and adjusting slightly for national polling trends.

Sure enough, we ended up coming in at a whopping 26% in 2019, and in 2021 won the seat with 33%. Certainly the win was in part because the incumbent was embroiled in a last minute scandal, but I truly believe the polling aggregators have a huge suppressing effect on breakout candidates— without that effect it's possible we could have taken the earlier election too.

Now that seat is "safely" Green, it's been twice affirmed with huge wins for a separate Green candidate at the provincial level:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchener_Centre_(provincial_e...

I expect this year's federal election will deliver another 40-50% result for Morrice, as he's very popular locally, but there's 338 again showing a big upswing for the Liberals in Kitchener Centre, when almost certainly there is no such thing, it's all just hallucinated from national polling:

The US does not live democratic principles. Not domestically and much less in interactions on the world stage.
Don't they say that those perceived problems aren't actual ones?
I don’t think this is the wrong take but I like the idea of moving dependence towards something that could be run locally vs. a search engine which can not.
> In the US both of those would have been handled with an Investigatory detention - same as being pulled over for a traffic stop. Not even remotely an arrest.

I'm not from the UK, but it seems likely that this is just a question of semantics. Many US traffic stops are far more stressful—and handled in a way that is far less conciliatory—than the "arrest" that OP describes. It doesn't sound like they were taken to a police station or even necessarily handcuffed, more just formally detained.

As for US detentions: It doesn't especially matter if they're not technically "arrests" in US parlance, you're still being stopped by the police and you still can't go anywhere until they let you because there's a too-high probability that they'll find an excuse to make your life miserable if you don't cooperate.

DOGE is sharing all the data. Is there a specific line item that addresses the defunding of air quality monitoring? I couldn’t find one.

Eh, this seems to just promote armchair quarterbacking. What moved voters is an issue for the campaigns to track. We should listen to what the campaigns say about what we care about.
Nate, no. FiveThirtyEight is being shut down because its election model is wrong.
it’s literally encoded into the barcode there is no api involved
Like the Rationalist's "Bayesian priors," the election models were a remnant of the "big data" hype from a decade and a half ago. This article is a decent overview for anyone who forgot about it[1]. Like with many hype cycles, there was something actually important underneath the surface (useful statistical modeling), but then people with a poor understanding of the limitations ran wild thinking it could do things far beyond its capabilities (in this case, the degree to which one could use statistics to predict the future).

Industry gave up on the more extreme claims fairly quickly because it wasn't able to produce. But it lingered on in other places where there was less direct feedback or it was telling people what they wanted it to hear.

To add to this, it became obvious that many of the leaders in this "field" were people who believed they had an expertise that was far beyond their actual capabilities. Nate Silver ended up accusing much of the polling industry of fraud recently, because he wasn't able to do basic statistical math[2].

> However it isnt framed with the term slavery. That seems to be a western fetish, and its due to the relationship the US has to slavery

I think “slavery” has much higher salience in the US than in the Western world in general. How many other nations fought a civil war over the topic?
I had the experience of needing to scan analog, historical original sources on microfiche for my history degree. You get really good at a kind of gestalt linear search through materials. Tricks like glancing at the first / last sentence of paragraphs for the general topic, then anticipating what the author is _probably_ saying in the next few pages, really helps you get through a lot of content fast, almost to the point of reading on an intuitive, unconscious level.
AI is a big change, which will permeate life. This kind of change can be scary. Stories trying to predict how things will change is both meaningless and also thought provoking.

History is full of big changes. We've all grown up with grandma's stories of indoor plumbing or electricity coming, or TV or whatever. Many of us now would sound insane describing a rotary dial phone to our grandkids.

So yeah, change is coming, but to be fair it's always been here. And the effects of the change can be surprising or predictable. But we'll figure it out as we go.

When I went to school there were no mobile phones. Computers at home were very niche. There was no internet. No email. Crumbs, when away from home we'd write, you know, letters! Being a typist was a job. Secretaries took dictation and wrote in shorthand. If we wanted a meeting we got together in the same room.

Will AI change things? Surely it will. Welcome to my world.

I hear you. I make these decisions for a public company.

When engineers tell me they want to run models on the cloud, I tell them they are free to play with it, but that isn’t a project going into the roadmap. OpenAI/Anthropic and others are much cheaper in terms of token/dollar thanks to economies of scale.

There is still value in running your models for privacy issues however, and that’s the reason why I pay attention to efforts in reducing the cost to run models locally or in your cloud provider.

>The biggest disagreement was started by Zelensky politely correcting Trump on a fact.

Which fact was this? That diplomacy will not work? Then why did he choose to come to sign the deal? Don't you think it to be dishonest and disrespectable to have an agreement, and when the other party believes it and provides them an audience, do a U turn and start arguing about stuff in public? I am not saying that they shouldn't argue. But that should have been before making the agreement and coming to the Oval office.

>I don't care if they were pissed, they need to act like fucking statesmen!

Ha! I think a statesman is supposed to have some amount of maturity and wisdom. And if a person have those things in an average quantity, they will know NOT to utter things that wouldn't advance their cause. And they will know what those things are. What this president have shown here is the utter lack of both, because those words spoken out of emotion, not only did not advance their cause, but have put them in a much worse position.
Looks like this is the end of online interviews, folks

Wrote this a while back on this forum. Long term winning has nothing to do with growth. It has more to do with stability. Just don't fight wars and have smooth transition of power.

This more or less guarantees winning on the very longer run.

You still have gradual decay, which can unfold over centuries, and that is ok, but that is cyclical and you rise back in a century or so.

The real issues with the US/West is wars, too many of them. Even if the dollar standard guarantees a money printer. Its not exactly free. Triffin dilemma de-industrializes your country. Your politics has too much ego to stop fighting. In the meanwhile you lose industry, stability, time and just don't have focus for things that matter. Somebody who is more sane wins in the meanwhile.

UK really needed to build more industries instead of fighting WW1/2. Its a shame that Churchill won above Chmaberlain/Halifax. You get the fake thrill of winning a war, you shouldn't have even gone into, destroyed yourself fighting, all for some fake sense of bravado which led to your disaster.

If things go South for US from here. George Bush will likely have the same standing in history.

tl;dr- If you are winning, keep it that way, and don't fight wars.
I think this diagram from the DeepSeekMoE paper explains it the clearest: https://i.imgur.com/CRKttob.png The one on the right is how the feed forward layers of DeepSeek V3/R1 work, blue and green are experts, and everything in that right section is what counts as "active parameters".

K (K=8 for these models, but you can customize that if you want) experts of 256 per layer are activated at a time. The 256 comes from the model file, it's just how many they chose to build it with. In these models there is also 1 shared expert which is always active in the layer. The router picks which k routed experts to use each forward pass and then a gating mechanism combines the outputs. If you sum the 1 shared expert + K routed experts + router + output networks you end up with 37 B parameters active for each feed forward layer pass. The individual experts are therefore much smaller than the total (probably something like 4 B parameters each? I've never really checked that directly).

Or, for the short answer: "37 B is the active parameters of 9 experts + 'overhead', not the parameters of a single expert".
I disagree. Before 538 people were still offering lots of election predictions and it was much much worse, because it was based entirely on hunches and vibes. Silvers rates the pollsters and provides confidence intervals far better than a simple average of polls does. I’d much rather read his forecasts than any number of bloviating opeds.
Fantastic interviewers. It's pretty rare to get such a technical conversation at a high level (as opposed to a purely technical talk) where the interviewers constantly flesh out exactly what the interviewee is saying until they feel that they understand the conversation.

The handout (from the yt comments): Engineering View of Gravitation: https://authors.library.caltech.edu/120186/3/BOOK.pdf
By “firmware security” I meant control of writes to the SPI flash chip that controls firmware. There are other mechanisms that try to control whether the contents of the chip are trusted for various purposes at boot, and you’re probably more familiar with those than I am.

As for my guesses about the rest:

As far as I know (and I am not privy to any non-public info here), the Intel ucode patch process sure seems like it can reprogram things other than the ucode patch SRAM. There seem to be some indications that AMD’s is different.

I wouldn’t bet real money, with fairly strong odds, that this ucode compromise gives the ability to run effectively arbitrary code in SMM CPL0, without even a whole lot of difficulty other than reverse engineering enough of the CPU to understand what the uops do and which patch slots do what. I would also bet, at somewhat less aggressive odds, that ucode patches can do things that even SMM can’t, e.g. writing to locked MSRs and even issuing special extra-privileged operations like the “Debug Read” and “Debug Write” operations that Intel CPUs support in the “Red Unlock” state.
I love this a lot. I have spent a great deal of time considering digital document writing. The hybrid of document and canvas is a must and is commonly found in PKMs now (obsidian, logseq, affine). Collaboration features are also a must imo, but not often found due to it being difficult to implement and scale.

Looking forward to tracking this project! Is there a community one could join to get updates?
The US is a world hegemon. That’s a well-defined concept. I don’t know what being a leader means in this context.

It seems that it is just what the US and its cronies claim to be. Which works on any topic:

1. If it does something “good”: self-evident

2. If it does something “bad” or fails to do something good: just say that it is failing to be a “leader” like it obviously has been since sometime (post-WWII maybe). Yeah, even negative evidence can perpetuate the same narrative. Just wistfully look at the mythic past without questioning the premise.
I'd be very interested, is there someone who could elaborate please?

I'm terrified using a service like Vercel because I heard about the massive cost trap that can hit you hard and I don't know if there is any alternative for (easily & quickly) hosting NextJS apps.
Yes, I've found Gitea very easy to self-host as well (I have two instances facing the public internet at the moment).
A slow-end DDR4 speed older generation Xeon system is unlikely to be used by Intel for this benchmark. It's far more likely they used an expensive DDR5 modern Xeon with as many memory channels as they could. Single user LLM inference is memory bandwidth bottlenecked. I just can't see Intel using old/deprecated hardware. And if someone not Intel were to build a Xeon DDR4 system it wouldn't reach the DDR5 tokens/s speeds reported here.

The reason they used a Xeon is memory channels. Non-server CPUs only have 2 but modern Xeons have 8 to 12 depending on generation/type. And the Xeons with the most are the most $$$$ and it ends up cheaper to just get a GPU or dedicated accelerator.

Same. The suggestion that it’s like audiophiles totally missed the mark, because lots of audiophile claims do not stand up to double blind tests.

His point was that Putin generally lies instrumentally to foreigners and pathologically domestically, whereas the west lies pathologically in both areas:

Here you can see a link from the BBC where Putin admits that of course he was lying about the little green men. Because the lie no longer serves a purpose, it is thrown out. He is a gruesome thug, but he lives on planet earth.

No, sir. Democrats have done lots of stuff that's not great for free speech. For example, when in charge of the government, they've worked together with obliging social media companies to remove what they considered foreign misinformation. But stuff like that is absolutely nothing compared to what's happening now, and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

I can't think of a single thing Democrats have done in the last hundred years that is even in the same league as the President's promise to use the "Take It Down" Act to silence criticism, and I'll bet you can't either.

I see there are a few options to run inference for LLM and Stable Diffusion outside Nvidia. There is Intel Arc, Apple Ms and now AMD Ryzen AI Max. It is obvious that running in Nvidia would be the most optimal way. But given the availability of high VRAM Nvidia cards at reasonable price, I can't stop thinking about getting one that is not Nvidia. So, if I'm not interested in training or fine tuning, would any of those solutions actually works? On a Linux machine?
Im not worried with AI as much as who will be controlling it. It could be a powerful tool for the wealthy to get wealthier and supress discontent if they’re the ones who leverage it. Yeah, of course nobody knows how things will eventually turn out but we ought to keep a tab on it.

Some but a lot less than you might think. The US invests a lot in global sensing, in some cases operating redundant independent networks while many countries don’t even have domestic sensing. This is a consistent complaint of non-US scientists that work with sensing data; it is difficult to get their governments to invest in domestic sensor networks when the US kind of does it for you, so even many developed countries have limited domestic data. In Europe in particular, there are additional privacy concerns that stymie more creative approaches at aggregating these types of measurements by other means.

When one of these countries does build out a domestic sensor network, they are often unwilling to share the data because it is seen as advantaging the Americans. Resistance to data sharing is quite high, for many reasons, so if you need to do anything that spans many countries you often end up falling back on whatever the Americans can give you.

The geopolitics around data sharing has been a significant hindrance to scientific activities like trying to build accurate and detailed climate and environmental models. Natural processes don’t recognize national borders.

The only global sensor networks operated by several countries independently are related to weather, and even then there are fewer than people probably imagine.
