When I saw the headline, I wondered why Sergey hadn't bought it for his spare change. I guess this is why.
I see what you mean. The way I approach this is that I think of it as a very (very, very) elaborate auto-complete. Something that takes some text, and continues with the most likely continuation. Which is what it basically is, right?

But that means that whatever rather impressive internal representation of knowledge it has encoded, that knowledge itself can’t be trusted on a “factual” basis.

This is where you have stopped, but you shouldn’t. Because you’re missing what it’s great at. And it’s great at “continuing” text in a longer context. So just use it with a longer context. Use the Search functionality in ChatGPT when asking it things such that you see where it got it from. Use it in a codebase context where you point it to the relevant parts. Give it examples it should follow, etc.

For every task I have I try using AI in some way and form first. Because the downside is limited - I waste 5-7 minutes figuring out that it’s not going to work, and this is something I definitely need to do myself. But the upside is unlimited - the task is done in minutes.
> But, I figured if we enter a dystopian future, evil health care companies or governments could easily get my DNA if they want to and/or simply require that information to get care.

Yes, because you gave it to them. Nihilism undermines any sort of resistance movement against evil.
Sounds interesting, but since I haven't been in touch much with this topic I ask myself: Does this have any benefit for my personal home-computer usage?

For a long time I have the urge to try out Nix, because I clutter up my computer way too fast and therefore often get mad and just install a fresh system. This works fine with my files, but there are always applications which I forget about and forget to save configs. So having this all in a git repo to spin it up fast would be nice. Is bootc, fedora silverblue and so forth trying to achieve something similar?

Has Waymon figured out how to scale this yet? Last time I checked they needed highly precise and up to date maps that are not just available for every location, and thus they're limited to small test regions.
Shares are only worth what somebody wants to pay for them. Selling a ton of shares also often devalues them. Since the company was losing money, it was clear that the shares would drop.
I did not said Germans are perfect. They are massively better then USA, they are overall trustworthy enough to trust them.

Your last link is about AfD being supported by Elon Musk. And second about other parties not wanting to cooperate with AfD - and while fascism is up everywhere, in America there is basically no functional opposition.
Meanwhile in robotics everyone is glad that computers are getting faster.

There are a lot of things that used to be impossible to do inside a 1000 Hz control loop.

>What do we do with the problems that are too hard to solve with the limited compute that we have? Lie down for 80 years and wait for compute to catch up? Or solve a smaller problem using specialized tricks that don't require a $10B super computer to build?

Solving a smaller problem using specialized tricks has gone nowhere in robotics. Almost all the advancements in robotics control happened in the last ten years as a result of computers getting faster.

We are very close to the cusp of non linear MPC becoming a solved problem for up to 64 degrees of freedom and a horizon of 20 time steps at 1000Hz, but we aren't there yet. It would definitely be possible with an ASIC built for MPC.

>The bitter lesson is nothing of the sort, there is plenty of space for thinking hard, and there always will be.

The bitter lesson doesn't say that human ingenuity is worthless. It guides it in a useful direction. A lot of human ingenuity was put into compute scaling solutions for transformers.

The main takeaway is that you can build your OS image like any OCI image, and you can boot these OCI images.

I've been using immutable OS for over 2 years now and the main advantage to me is the ease of rollback. I even started using it professionally in my work with the main selling point being easier lifecycle management.

Bootc is just an advancement of this, it's a next generation rpm-ostree. I could already boot my own OCI images before.
Yes, commercial production servers. Similar to some other systems and certain consoles, microkernel is used as hypervisor that protect bare metal hardware from potential hazards when guest monoliths like mentioned FreeBSD becomes compromised. Guest components are running our software and services inside jails on two 128 core, two 64 core and one 32 core Ampere processors where first two machines run heavy workloads like offline rendering and Erlang VM clusters, while others are used to provide a few VPS servers, and internal services.
No, many have executed this vision. Facebook was doing this since at least 2010
Would keeping a few nukes have protected Ukraine from Russia?

Likely a prolonged period of espionage and subterfuge by the Russians to gain control of those nukes would have ensued. Maintaining control would be difficult especially in Eastern Ukraine where the Russian language predominates.

Putin wants to recreate the military conquests of previous Russian leaders. He thinks he's Peter the Great but his situation is more akin to Don Quixote de la Mancha in his later years: I imagine that he sees all those nukes, regrets how much they cost to make and maintain and that he hasn't launched them (each launch moving a line item from a debit column to a credit column). He may not yet realize that the fuel from one nuclear warhead in a nuclear reactor could supply a small city with electrical power for years. IOW he's sitting on a fortune and doesn't know it. Sad.

Did you know that for the past two decades, 10 percent of all the electricity consumed in the United States has come from Russian nuclear warheads?

Russia is enormous geographically, has wonderful resources and people who are bright and creative. A shame they're getting killed in Ukraine. The only good news is that there will be more women for each young man and, once they return from war, each will be tasked with the need to create a new generation of Russians. Good work, if you can get it. If they don't, the Chinese will move in from the east (probably will anyway, already doing it de facto).
I've certainly heard things wrong before, and had high fever, and loads of alcohol, and migraines, and high sleep deprivation, and andrenaline. All things that greatly affect whether I can do something seemingly simple or not
> And storage is no longer an „unsolved problem“.

Yes, it is an unsolved problem. Even adding 8h backup battery puts solar on par with nuclear: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/85332.pdf (nuclear's capital costs are around $4000/kW).

And seasonal storage (enough energy to last for 2-3 weeks without sun/wind) does not even have a price tag, because it simply doesn't exist.

> And foreseeable technical advances will improve that while no comparable development is on the horizon for nuclear.

Nope. Renewables have comprehensively failed in providing a viable replacement for nuclear power. There is no reasonable pathway ahead with the current technologies for renewables to replace the reliable baseline generation.

It doesn't mean that solar/wind are useless, they work great in cases where the load can be shed, and in warm climates where electricity demand is not so critical.
Yes, they have been regulated by the FDA for a decade now.

Until a coworker needs to debug a specific edge case that was too specific for the single expression, and it all has to be rewritten back to long form. Dense code is not always better and sometimes makes a code base incomprehensable.
>and the reason is that generic function approximators get stuck in a local minima incredibly easy.

The key insight in massively over parameterized models (aka LLMs) has been that all the local minima are very similar. Picking one over the other doesn't actually benefit you that much.

Even if you haven't personally used their service, if any close relatives have, they already have a sizable amount of information on your genome. They maintain the equivalent of "shadow profiles" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_profile) as part of their data model for "ancestry" modeling purposes - for example inferring a paternal haplogroup based on data uploaded by genetic relatives.

I can only hope at the end of the day their data doesn't end up in the wrong hands. It is their most valuable asset, and this is a way bigger deal than it seems.

Yeah but they would need to be looking for me specifically. I think it would offer some form of anonymity in blanket sweeps.
I'm skeptical how much speaking/synthesizing the language matters if you only care about reading.

I can read German moderately well (can get through newspaper articles pretty easily, and novels with some effort), but I have very little ability to synthesize it (it'd take me quite a lot of effort to construct a sentence in writing, and I can't really speak at all). But the lack of ability to produce the language doesn't seem to negatively impact my reading ability.
Another challenge I would add to the list is that weather data is strategic data.

Joined Nvidia in Oct 2008 and worked on this early CUDA stack. I worked on later stage compiler optimizations where both CUDA and gfx would merge into. CUDA was this “annoyance” we had to deal with. Lots of scenarios that would never show up with gfx code were suddenly possible when code generated by cuda toolchain was considered. Gfx made all the money yet CUDA was treated as first class citizen since the day it was born.
You're absolutely right but I was making the point that there's demonstrably no significant downsides to running driver/kernel code in less privileged mode, rather than Ring 0.
I really do not understand why can't they just work with existing OSS developers pulling their hair out trying to make AMD devices work and instead do it this way. It's like Mozilla with the questionable decisions.
What "nation"? This is about the state of Israel.
Exactly. It's like saying healthcare is big business in America when it's because it's unnecessarily bloated and super inefficient only due to America's own idiosyncratic quirks and regulatory capture. Like there are countries with similar private systems which still manage to do better with far less resources, simply because they have some form of government oversight.

That doesn’t mean soft delete should be the only option. With some of our processes, we soft delete for a period of time (2-4 weeks) to account for mistakes. Then, if on one tries to recover it after that time, it does the actual delete.

This seems like a reasonable compromise to me. It offers a safety net, while still getting the job done.

With as many data breaches as we see these days, I want my data gone. If someone gets a dump of the DB, a delete flag doesn’t matter.

This was the primary reason I never got a DNA test, even though I want to see what my results would be. I never trusted the companies to store that data long term. If I could get a test where a company didn’t store the results after they were provided to me, I’d get one tomorrow.

It's certainly nice, and makes possible Vite's very quick reloads of developer code, but even Vite still makes (ESM) bundles for performance reasons, both for production (with everything, using Rollup) and for dev (with just the external deps, using ESBuild).

My understanding is that HTTP 2 pipelining was supposed to make requesting lots of ESM modules from the same site fast enough that bundling could be consigned to history, but for various reasons it didn't work as intended and it was ultimately removed from most browsers.
Just requested my data deletion. Seems like it worked.
I think it's somewhat more important than that. Basically the point is that the A/B tests tell you "which ad is more effective spending on this particular platform with the particular arrangement of users you selected". If you try to expand the user group after the A/B test is over, or if you take the ads to another platform, you shouldn't expect the results to hold.

So if you're an ad exec, you should make sure you run separate A/B tests for each specific ad channel you intend to spend money on. An A/B test on Facebook does not tell you anything about how well the same ads would do on Google, and even less so on TV (even assuming you are reaching roughly the same type of audience). This happens because Facebook's targeting mechanisms are not the same as Google's, and so they may optimize the ads differently than Google within the same population groups you selected and give you different results. And TV ads are not targeted at all, even if the audience you are reaching is the same.
Yeah, you see this a bunch in UK startups.

> Online - This is an option. However for engineering degrees you'll be missing out on all the hands-on work. If you're an unusually dedicated student (this is more common with older students though), you can get some of this with a home lab but it won't be the same. Get internships and coops to make up for your lack of hands-on experience. Speaking frankly, I would be very disinclined to hire a student with an online engineering degree and no internships or coops in the field (I would hire them into an internship or coop program, though). The lack of hands on experience would suggest they're all theory and no practice, that's not a useful person to hire and would make you less competitive if up against candidates from an in-person program with a decent reputation

This is wrong. There are several ABET accredited online engineering degrees. Each fulfill the rigorous standards including labs. Some schools have you buy a kit, some schools make you show up occasionally, none of the ABET accredited schools are “theory only”.

Moreover all ABET accredited schools award you a full degree. Literally no one will put “completed online” on their resume and you would never know the difference. Nor should you care - an accredited degree is equivalent to an on-campus degree in every way including rigor.

Your lack of knowledge in this area is apparent and you shouldn’t scare OP off something you clearly do not understand.
So essentially pushing the work to the TLB? Well, if there are people building moving GCs that manage to retain stable pointers that way, why not use it for a circular buffer as well.

> The downside is that reallocation would be really slow, involving multiple syscalls,

Scaling ring buffers up and down in size is not very performant anyhow, as a bunch of the elements in it tend to need to be copied.

The main benefit list gives you comparing to vector is a stable memory. This is often an important property. But lists are slow with an element access. This problem is solved by deque.

Therefore, I argue that alternative to deque has to have a stable memory property. Otherwise, you can just use a vector.

This implementation is trying to do so, btw, but for some reasons it operates with a raw memory under the hood instead of just holding a vector and rotating it here and there. Such approach is unnecessary complicated and error-prone
Sad to meet someone who doesn't care that they're going down the same river and over the same waterfall so long as someone else is going a little faster.

I know exactly what's in the links, what I don't know is why you believe it's logical to assume that every other human being must be a cheerleader for one group of corrupt authoritarians or another.

Then you have someone to blame for sponsoring an exploit vs some unsponsored person who identified the same exploit patched it, and no one bothered to check either way. I guess I got lucky never trusting Mint. I did trust Slackware, because I knew someone who trusted Pat V. I guess I also need to rub shoulders with Linux maintainers vs people like Marc Andressen. I did meet RMS, but he has no personality. Woz? Wolfram? Anna V? I met the SUSE people, and one of the RedHat maintainers, who gave me a tee-shirt, a poster, two bumper stickers, and the latest distribution of RedHat. It was easier a decade ago...
