You may have just forgotten the pain of the learning curve? Admittedly postfix & dovecot are way more sane than rspamd. But their whole default config (and something like 50% of the options and documentation) are oriented around UNIX system accounts for each of your mail users, which seems insane and 80s-era to me (let's go dial up to the mainframe at 300 baud and see if we have any mail). It takes dozens of pages of documentation to orient yourself away from all that, understand Postfix's "address classes", that you generally want "virtual mailboxes", etc. No support for DKIM, except through sendmail-invented "milters", of which Postfix heartily recommends you to OpenDKIM, a project which hasn't been touched in 10+ years, doesn't support EC signing, is not packaged on most distros, is documented on a outdated non-https site with sparse even more out-of-date plaintext documentation, referring you to a defunct FTP site to download the code, etc. And milter requires setting up a UNIX or inet socket and tedious configuration, etc. etc.

Poor support for SASL, at least for mail users looking to god forbid send an email and relay it to the internet, and password-protect against random spammers doing the same, referring you instead to Dovecot SASL - also legacy cruft (partly the SASL protocol designers' fault), SASL has numerous "mechanisms" but nearly everybody uses just the PLAIN mechanism, ensuring a TLS channel is established first, which is about 10 lines of code to implement.

Just a ton of unnecessary legacy cruft IMHO.

> the panspermia hypothisis is correct

What I don't understand is why would chirality and panspermia be so tightly linked.

The data right now still leaves every option on the table just because having any ratio of chiral molecules doesn't have to define how life evolves. It can't answer whether those molecules formed on Earth or hitched a ride on an asteroid, or life itself formed here or was brought here.

We can assume that in a soup with balanced proportions of each chirality, the left handed molecules created a self replicating mechanism (some definition of "life") first or faster than right handed molecules, either accidentally or because some yet undiscovered advantage. Whether this happened on Earth, or was brought to Earth by one or more of the millions of asteroids is hard to prove.

> Why should I agree or disagree with that? Who says that? Is it just some arbitrary theory that you came up with on the spot?

Intelligence has some capabilities. I'm asking you if the capabilities of intelligence encompass the ability described, yes or no?

> "Maximally compressed the observations" does not follow from the model being smaller.

No other function can be smaller than the actual function that generates the observations. Correct answers indicates that "intelligence" reproduced the model in order to make a successful prediction, ergo "maximal compression".
Battery consumption and antenna efficiency are two major pain points. iPhones suck battery like a horse drinks water when in hotspot mode, and the large surface area of even a small MacBook Air would allow for some pretty interesting antenna design.

And it isn't really ironed out to behave in Germany where on a train you have frequent losses of phone connectivity. Every time it loses signal, the hotspot drops out and disconnects.

>The ANE and tensor cores are not comparable though

They're both built to do the most common computation in AI (both training and inference), which is multiply and accumulate of matrices - A * B + C. The ANE is far more limited because they decided to spend a lot less silicon space on it, focusing on low-power inference of quantized models. It is fantastically useful for a lot of on-device things like a lot of the photo features (e.g. subject detection, text extraction, etc).

And yes, you need to use CoreML to access it because it's so limited. In the future Apple will absolutely, with 100% certainty, make an ANE that is as flexible and powerful as tensor cores, and they force you through CoreML because it will automatically switch to using it (where now you submit a job to CoreML and for many it will opt to use the CPU/GPU instead, or a combination thereof. It's an elegant, forward thinking implementation). Their AI performance and credibility will greatly improve when they do.

>you really need to compare against the GPU

From a raw performance perspective, the ANE is capable of more matrix multiply/accumulates than the GPU is on Apple Silicon, it's just limited to types and contexts that make it unsuitable for training, or even for many inference tasks.
Very disappointing. I do not understand how people earnestly defend the successionist view as a good future, but I thought he might at least give some interesting arguments.

This talk isn't that. There are no substantive arguments for why we should embrace this future and his representation of the opposite side isn't in good faith either, instead he chose to present straw-man versions of them.

He concludes with "A successful succession offers [...] the best hope for a long-term future for humanity.
How this can possibly be true when ai succession necessarily includes replacement eludes me. He does mention transhumanism on a slide, but it seems extremely unlikely that he's actually talking about that and the whole succession spiel is just unfortunate wording.
This is just a try but here it goes.

Personal Computers. They are not the end all be all for all things but they were relegated to novelty and something for geeky nerds early on.

The PFA's aren't largely concentrated in the urine/feces, they're in the sewage water (from people flushing/washing things down the drain/chemical runoff).

If the issue was "people are so full of PFA's that their urine/feces contain so much they're contaminating the planet" the problem would be too far advanced, right? Like if your body was so radioactive that standing near you caused people to develop cancer, you probably shouldn't worry about getting cancer yourself, you're already fucked.

It isn't paranoia because for most counties all of their ports are "warm water" and only Russia has an obsession with "warm water ports" and is likely to use this phrase. For most countries it is like saying "car with wheels" it is just redundant.
Since the vast majority of Swift and SwiftUI documentation online is outdated, I've found that concatenating the best of "what's new in Swift 5.x / 6.x" blogs then asking it to organize that into a prompt for itself, then adding that to the system prompt, helps the LLM produce idiomatic and current code.

While these changes may require "new ways of thinking" in humans, the LLM seems to have these conceptual approaches embedded already thanks to other languages that did these things earlier. The what's new just shows it the syntax for these concepts in Swift.

The winds of politics change. People can, and will be, convinced as reality smacks them. It takes longer than expected but reality can never be perpetually denied by everyone.

The key for now is for Democrats to avoid the blame of the obvious problems coming up. Democrats cannot afford to be blamed by the upcoming Government Debt, Funding, Tax changes or possible shutdown.

Protests run the risk of drawing attention back to the Democrats and rallying MAGA to a shared enemy. I don't think that works. It seems like a reasonable political strategy to see how far Trump's team is willing to wreck the economy on their own.

The goal is to have MAGA split. We all know they have a different set of ideologies and are only unified in their hate of liberals.

As the debt balloons due to tax cuts, as Ukraine falls due to Trump's clearance, as TechBros cozy up to China and as wealth transfers to Bitcoin in the largest display of corruption of recent years, people will notice that MAGAs biggest enemies are fellow MAGAs.
The issues would be A) that Mars upper atmosphere and internal mass distribution are not as well mapped as on Earth, so knowing your orbital accuracy is much more difficult (1)- and at 8km/s small orbital error bars become giant error bars on the surface and B) Putting a full constellation of 24-30 satellites around Mars is going to be really expensive. That's more than the sum total of all satellites to successfully orbit Mars to this day (18).

1: On Earth we account for that by using ground stations to track the satellite locations, with the ground station locations determined very very precisely using non-GPS techniques (old school surveying techniques). On Mars, that's not going to be possible until we get a lot more done, probably a later human mission would be the first time that could be done.

Hey all,

we’re publishing this whitepaper that describes a new concept for building serverless microapps called Actors, which are easy to develop, share, integrate, and build upon. Actors are a reincarnation of the UNIX philosophy for programs running in the cloud.

Efficiency is perhaps not the right word, but I was under the impression that attempting to measure performance is a cost saving tactic. I think you lose the cost saving if you just double your engineers while keeping the same amount of work.
Only one dictator ever was literally Adolf Hitler but that's a meaningless comparison. Saddam and Assad both tried to do holocausts so in my view that makes them Hitlers. I think that is a much more useful practical definition of "a Hitler" than, you know, being named Adolf and being born in the middle of Europe.

Find my anywhere in the federalist papers (or the anti-federalist papers) that says anything about immigration.

What you’re talking about is a 20th century creation. We never tried to be an “immigrant nation”—we were a big open country with no welfare state, and it was favorable for us to allow extensive immigration to populate the continent and displace the native americans.

In the 20th century we accidentally found ourselves with British Americans being a minority then created this idea of an “immigrant nation” to assimilate all the Germans, Italians, etc. But it’s a retcon.
In 1998-1999 I had a DEC Alpha on my desktop that was really impressive, it was a 64-bit machine a few years before you could get a 64-bit Athlon.

> ai succession necessarily includes replacement

How is AI going to make its own chips and energy? The supply chain for AI hardware is long an fragile. AGI will have an interest in maintaining peace for this reason.

And why would it replace us, our thoughts are like food for AI. Our bodies are very efficient and mobile, biology will certainly be an option for AGI at some point.

DeviantArt | Senior Site Reliability Engineer/Senior DevOps Engineer/Senior Infrastructure Engineer | Ukraine (Full Time, REMOTE to anywhere in the country)

DeviantArt was founded in 2000 and has been a part of Wix since 2017. It is the largest online social network for artists and art enthusiasts. For emerging and established artists, DeviantArt is the foremost platform to exhibit, promote, and share works with an enthusiastic, art-centric community. We have over 86 million registered users worldwide, and our users -- lovingly referred to as “deviants” -- upload tens of thousands of original pieces of art every day, from more traditional art like painting and sculpture, to digital art, pixel art, films, anime, and AI art.

We're looking to add another to our very small remote distributed DevOps team. The DevOps team performs all tasks normally inclusive of SRE/DevOps/Infrastructure Engineers, with a bit of database administration mixed in. We are responsible for the day-to-day management of large-scale, mission-critical production systems that run on a public cloud. We automate, manage, and maintain the global infrastructure that makes DeviantArt tick. We respond to and mitigate all system issues. We develop and support the developer environment, and build and maintain CI/CD pipelines. The job lists the location as Kyiv, and although going into an office could be an option, preference would be for 100% remote.

This job requires an on call rotation, and needs a generalist knowledge of a large complicated site infrastructure, excellent linux command line skills, some database skills, and an enjoyment of troubleshooting and solving complex issues, sometimes during system events and outages.

We take our work seriously, but don't take ourselves too seriously :) Come work with us, enjoy remote flexibility, have fun, and build neat things.

Probably helps that models like deepseek are mixture of expert. Having all weights in VRAM means you don’t have to unlod/reload. Memory bandwidth usage should be limited to the 37B active parameters.
It's good enough to run whatever local model you want. 2x 80core GPU is no joke. Linking them together gives it effectively 1.6 TB/s of bandwidth. 1TB of total memory.

You can run the full Deepseek 671b q8 model at 40 tokens/s. Q4 model at 80 tokens/s. 37B active params at a time because R1 is MoE.

Linking 2 of these together let's you run a model more capable (R1) than GPT4o at a comfortable speed at home. That was simply fantasy a year ago.
At my last N jobs, companies built high end server farms and carefully specced all the hardware. Then they looked at SSD specs and said “these are all fine”.

Fast forward 2 years: The $50-$250K machines have a 100% drive failure rate, and some poor bastard has to fly from data center to data center to swap the $60 drive for a $120 one, then re-rack and re-image each machine.

Anyway, soldering a decent SSD to the motherboard board would actually improve reliability at all those places.

I feel like, with proper UX in the cockpit and on the controller console, making it easy to send/acknowledge the clearance, and intrusively demanding immediate acknowledgment for important messages, with the controller able to talk to the pilot if it isn't immediately acknowledged, structured messages would save time, be more accurate, allow automated checks, i.e. be a superior substitute.

UX needs a ton of work and human factors validation, and would take 20 years to implement. But if you were starting from a blank slate it seems like the way to go!
