If one tries to formulate QFT theory with Bohmian Mechanics the results are less than satisfying. Regular Quantum Mechanics in a Bohmian mode is, in addition to failing to be invariant, also pretty paltry if pressed to really serve, primarily in that it appears to be the case (for both theories) that one has quite a lot of freedom with respect to what precisely lives with the particle and what lives with the pilot wave function.

In another sense Bohmian mechanics just kicks the can down the road - we may decide to associate the specific thing we observe with a particle situated on the pilot wave, but in fact, as far as the theory goes, the particle can live at any point in the pilot wave it wishes and nothing about the dynamics of the pilot wave changes at all. Thus we simply place the non-determinism in the past rather than in the present.

Furthermore, Bohmian mechanics seems to break Newton's First Law, since the pilot particle, as hinted above, is influenced by the pilot wave but not vice versa. The appeal of Bohmian mechanics is obvious, but superficial. It does not dispense with the can of worms, just opens it from the other side, in my opinion.

They didn't just claim that divorces can have unfavorable results for men which is a trivial claim.

They claimed birth rates are tumbling because women have attained the extractive power mentioned in their post and that, if left unchecked, human society will continue dying down... until all that's left is the sort of man that he likens to the venomous male octopus.
I think the article is a little hard on the 600 in its stock configuration. (That's not to say that Commodore did a great job with it, in terms of product-line placement. Oh, Commodore... >sigh<)

The 600 isn't a "repackaged Amiga 1000" or a "cut-down version of the Amiga 500". It didn't make sense in the line-up when Commodore introduced it, but it's definitely a step-up from the A1000 and A500. Having the Enhanced Chip Set[0] meant getting the Productivity video modes on a multisync monitor.

The internal ATA controller was also a big enhancement as compared to the A500 and A1000, too. Laptop IDE/ATA drives were getting pretty common. When equipped with a hard disk it was vastly more portable than an A500 (w/ a "sidecar" hard disk drive module).

Having the built-in color composite video output was a "win" for just plugging it into a TV or VCR. Again, that helped with portability as compared to an A500.

As a retro machine it is a cute little machine. The community has definitely stepped-up with enhancements for the A600, though.

Why would he do that? Manzanar is much closer and successfully tested even against citizens.

I’ve heard that interned Japanese-American did not like to bring the whole thing up afterwards, but it was clearly a mistake trying to memory hole that abomination.
The closest I saw to this was my Dads Tandy laptop in late 80s that had no hard drive - the OS (DOS) was ROM and the file system was RAM, you could boot up with no discs inserted. In retrospect it was a great computer for me to learn on since I could poke around freely and there was no chance of bricking it.
I remember this and used it for a while! Great idea.
> where every LLM hits some arbitrary amount of context that causes it to "lose focus" and develop a sort of LLM ADD.

Humans brains have the same problem. As any intelligence probably. Solution for this is structural thinking. One piece at a time, often top-down. Educated humans do it, LLM can be orchestrated to do it too. Effective context window will be limited even though some claim millions of tokens.
At current market pricing on dramexchange, 128GB of 16Gbit GDDR6 chips would cost $499.58. That only leaves $100.42 for the PCB, GPU die, miscellaneous parts, manufacturing, packaging, shipping, the store’s margin, etcetera. I suspect that they could not do that without taking a loss.

I wonder if they could mix clamshell mode and quadrank to connect 64 memory chips to a GPU. If they connected 128GB of VRAM to a GPU, I would expect then to sell it for $2000, not $600.

It depends on what subset of Notion you use. Nothing (including Notion) is perfect for me. I'd like to build my own eventually, but I'm currently using Obsidian which doesn't hit your "works in the browser" requirement.

One option, which is open source and self hosted, is Trilium[sic], found at https://github.com/zadam/trilium It's open source, so if it's close to what you want, you might be able to adjust it to meet your needs.

Other commercial options include Realm, Tana, and Craft. With varying degrees of "AI".

I really like the UX of Tana for building out graphs of pages with properties, but it's slow to start up, doesn't support math, etc. So it's mainly a UX example for me.
I think the only thing we did in the past year is research the "think step by step" a lot more, but we didn't really push the boundary, we're still estimating the next word, one word at a time.

There is still a wall, LLMs can't do most of the things we do yet. The multi-modal concept will still operate at a frame at a time, and old information is increasingly losing attention. So these thought chains, while have moved something forward, it's not the breakthrough to AGI.
There was a project called "pixel32" and later "Pixel Studio Pro" in the early 2000s. It looked really nice and was sold as early access. But became vaporware, people that paid became really pissed and the guy creating it turned from hero to villain quickly.

Show HN: I built a vision-native RAG pipeline
My brother and I have been working on DataBridge: an open-source and multimodal database. After experimenting with various AI models, we realized that they were particularly bad at answering questions which required retrieving over images and other multimodal data.

That is, if I uploaded a 10-20 page PDF to ChatGPT, and ask it to get me a result from a particular diagram in the PDF, it would fail and hallucinate instead. I faced the same issue with Claude, but not with Gemini.

Turns out, the issue was with how these systems ingest documents. Seems like both Claude and GPT embed larger PDFs by parsing them into text, and then adding the entire thing to the context of the chat. While this works for text-heavy documents, it fails for queries/documents relating to diagrams, graphs, or infographics.

Something that can help solve this is directly embedding the document as a list of images, and performing retrieval over that - getting the closest images to the query, and feeding the LLM exactly those images. This helps reduce the amount of tokens an LLM consumes while also increasing the visual reasoning ability of the model.

We've implemented a one-line solution that does exactly this with DataBridge. You can check out the specifics in the attached blog, or get started with it through our quick start guide: https://databridge.mintlify.app/getting-started

Those complaints ring true. I had one and you ran into its limitations almost immediately, but that would not likely be an issue were it not for the fact that not everything was compatible between a500, a1200 and a600. But even that wasn't the biggest issue.

It was years later before I could enjoy moving diagonally. Eh, to be a child again.

And you still need rasterization for ray traced games (even "fully" path traced games like Cyberpunk 2077) because the ray tracing sample count is too low to result in an acceptable image even after denoising. So the primary visibility rendering is done via rasterization (which has all the fine texture and geometry detail without shading), and the ray traced (and denoised) shading is layerd on top.

You can see the purely ray traced part in this image from the post:
https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8...

This combination of techniques is actually pretty smart: Combine the powers of the rasterization and ray tracing algorithms to achieve the best quality/speed combination.

The rendering implementation in software like Blender can afford to be primitive in comparison: It's not for real-time animation, so they don't make use of rasterization at all and do not even use denoising. That's why rendering a simple scene takes seconds in Blender to converge but only milliseconds in modern games.
In some cases it doesn't recover even without physical or chemical damage. Psychiatric clinics are full of this stories.

So for the https://tools.simonwillison.net/side-panel-dialog example - where clicking on an item opens up a "details" view in a side panel, which can then be dismissed - is the way I'm using dialog appropriate? If not, how should I use it instead?

Code is here: https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/main/side-panel-dialog....

Key code is that when you click an item it effectively does this:

sidePanel.innerHTML = '...';
sidePanel.showModal();

I think this is a modal, because it's meant to entirely take focus from the rest of the page (until you dismiss the side panel).

The A500 and A600 are near identical. The tiny differences between them are in fact not incompatibilities in that sense. The A1200 is quite a different upgrade, and software making use of its new custom hardware features (or 68020-specific instructions) will obviously not run on the A600/500+/500, though the A1200 will run any correctly written piece of software from the past.

> Cool, but what about replacing the regexp with straightforward parsing code written manually?

If you take a look at the linked snippets of C code, I think it's clear it's all but straightforward. The regexps OTOH are really short and expressive.

Ruby has no access to SIMD. And writing SIMD is basically writing inline assembly, so it's really tedious and messy.

> relying on the compiler doing autovectorization to make it fast.

I can relate to that, but Regexps are a much smaller domain, and there it's clear SIMD is always a win, so if the regexp engine uses SIMD it's very unlikely it would ever stop using it (unless something faster comes up).

I don't think it's even source-available? The repo has docs, a bunch of Lua scripts (for what software?), a small PHP module and a compiled "geo-ip firewall" binary. Most of the features mentioned on the Github page appear to only be in the paid version of the software, and this limited "free" version is delivered as a mystery-meat Docker image pulled from Huawei Cloud.

Plus, main idea of GPU, their "Computing Unit" is not alone.

Mean, in CPU could cut any core and it will work completely separated without other cores.

In GPU, typical, have blocks for example 6x CUs, which have one pipeline for all, and this is how they achieve thousand CUs or more. So, all CUs basically run same program, in some architectures could make limited independent branching with huge penalties on speed, but mostly just one execution path for all CUs.

Very similar to SIMD CPU, even some GPUs was basically SIMD CPUs with extremely wide data bus (or even just VLIW). So, GPU cache sure optimized for such usage, it provide buffer wide enough for all CUs on same time.
It's always seemed to me that these types of question only exist because we're considering a choice between two imperfect models. If we had a better model of what a "particle" really is, then there would be no dualing models nor paradox.

Do we really have to choose between wave and particle? What does the "particle" model bring to the table that a localized (wavelength-sized) wave/vibration could not?

It is mentioned later in the article but I think it's important to clearly draw a distinction between cases where a) The "offender" is using the licensed work within the letter of the license but not the spirit b) The "offender" has broken both the letter and spirit of the license.

I've licensed multiple repositories under MIT, written under CC-BY, and published games under ORC. All of those licenses require attribution, something that AI, for example, explicitly ignores. In those situations "Wait, no, not like that" isn't "I didn't expect you'd use it this way" it's "you weren't authorized to use it this way."

It isn't by definition, presuming the relationship between quantum mechanics and reality. You can have a _two particle_ state and a _one particle state_ with non-trivial probability of being in two places. They are distinct things. The key idea here (and really, in Quantum Mechanics generally) is that superpositions are important things in the theory. This is the statement that if you have a wave function for one situation and another wave function for another than the sum of the two is also, necessarily, a valid wave function for a physically realizable system.

This is different from a classical probability. Suppose we simply don't know whether the baseball was fired from HERE or from THERE. In a classical situation, we can carry forward our understanding of the situation in time by simply calculating what the classical particles would do independently. In quantum mechanics the mechanics are of the wave function itself, not of the things we measure. We cannot get the right answer by imagining first that we measure the particle in one location and calculate forward and then by imagining we measure the particle in another and calculating forward and then adding the results. It isn't how the theory works. We must time evolve the wave function to predict the statistical behavior of measurement in the future.

Exactly. Commodore made a mistake when they introduced it but I loved mine to bits! After owning it for about a year I upgraded it with a 68030 turbo (incl. 4 megs of fast mem, an FPU and an MMU) and a 4 gig IBM Travelstar HD. The upgrade made it one of the flakiest bits of computing hardware I've ever used (you'd be lucky to use it for an hour without it crashing) but it was just so frigging cool! I painted it pink and purple and labelled it "Sikakone" ("Pig machine" in Finnish).
