> How long did it take it for the Osprey to make it into service?

I was curious so I went and looked;

1981 - Initial development contract awarded

1983 - Bell/Boeing submitted their prototype and since it was the only submission, they were awarded the contract

1985 - Osprey designation established, first full size prototypes under development

1988 - First Osprey was finished

1989 - First testing of the prototypes started and first flight in helicopter mode (several of the prototypes crashed)

1994 - Bell/Boeing received production contract for EMD phase

1997 - First EMD flight + more testing

2005 - Full rate production authorized

2007 - Marines began fielding them

They were still testing the various modes (carrier onboard deliveries, etc) into the 2020s but the most favorable case is that it took over 25 years from prototype to service.
Have they really improved the interface? I tried it a few years ago and while it certainly has a lot of features I found it be sort of confusing to use compared to the built-in Kobo, Kindle, Boox options.

Some of those features like the column panning are also available in Boox's default reader.

That should significantly reduce their dependency on South America as a source of income but now I am delving into whacky-ping-pong-ding-dong conspiracy theories.
These are nothing like the Osprey. The Osprey is way more complex. If one of the engines goes out on the Osprey, there is linkage that will allow the remaining engine to continue to power both rotors. Nevermind the mission profiles are completely different.

How long did the SR-71 take to make it into service? How long did the F-22 or F-35 take? None of those answers have anything to do with the other.

I can totally relate. I had the same experience in grade school science class, where the teacher assigned an experiment with a suggested solution and an invitation to come up with your own method.

I was the only person in class that chose to do my own method. And, it didn't work because I didn't account for an environmental difference between my house and the school classroom. And, he gave me a failing grade.

It really killed my interest in physics for a long time. I focused on biology from then through college.

Ultimately, the problem was that he didn't make clear that the only thing that we were being graded on was accuracy, not experimental methods or precision. (My solution was precise, but inaccurate; whereas the standard solution was accurate but imprecise) Also, it's possible everyone else in class knew the culture of the school, and I didn't because it was my first year there. So, I didn't realize that they didn't value creativity in the way I was used to.
That's all experimental physics, not theoretical physics.

I don't think its that bad. The focus will turn to inference going forward and that eventually means a place for AMD and maybe even Intel. Eventually it will be all about the efficiency of inference in watts.

That switch will reduce the NVIDIA margins by a lot. NVIDIA probably has 2 years left of being the only one with golden shovels.

> Driverless systems aren't slightly safer than the average driver, they're significantly safer.

Waymo operates an extremely conservative system that uses human oversight, roof mounted LIDAR, 100% 3D mapped environment in a very limited deployment, etc. This isn't robust to demonstrate Tesla or other self-driving situation, often using just a couple of cameras and a 2D map of roadways.

Tesla has boasted about the value of their system, using the classic per mile argument to justify its advantages. Only the overwhelming bulk of Tesla FSD or autopilot miles are on highways, which statistically is much safer than any other form of auto transport. This number is then compared against the drunk on the unlit country road type grab bag of every other style of driving and declared the victor. And of course even for highway accidents, aside from extreme weather events accidents are often people who purposefully wouldn't be using any assists -- stunt driving and the like.

It all seems very dubious right now. I believe Waymo's stats, I don't remotely believe Tesla's. We'll see what happens as people start using it more in normal driving situations.
There is more than one way to answer this.

They have made an alternative to the CUDA language with HIP, which can do most of the things the CUDA language can.

You could say that they haven't released supporting libraries like cuDNN, but they are making progress on this with AiTer for example.

You could say that they have fragmented their efforts across too many different paradigms but I don't think this is it because Nvidia also support a lot of different programming models.

I think the reason is that they have not prioritised support for ROCm across all of their products. There are too many different architectures with varying levels of support. This isn't just historical. There is no ROCm support for their latest AI Max 395 APU. There is no nice cross architecture ISA like PTX. The drivers are buggy. It's just all a pain to use. And for that reason "the community" doesn't really want to use it, and so it's a second class citizen.

This is a management and leadership problem. They need to make using their hardware easy. They need to support all of their hardware. They need to fix their driver bugs.
They likely haven't put even close to enough money behind it. This isn't a unique situation - you'll see in corporate america a lot of CEOs who say "we are investing in X" and they really believe they are. But the required size is billions (like, hundreds of really insanely talented engineers being paid 500k-1m, lead by a few being paid $3-10m), and they are instead investing low 10's of millions.

They can't bring themselves to put so much money into it that it would be an obvious fail if it didn't work.
F# was for me the best functional language when I looked at rewriting a Ruby on Rails app.
I wanted to go with a functional language, as it seems to better fit my thinking and reasoning, and I looked at Haskell, Ocaml, Scala, F#.

Being a stranger to Microsoft technologies, F# was the least likely to be chosen, but easily became the first choice.
Haskell's purity made it hard to adopt (for me), Ocaml's ecosystem is subpar (there wasn't even a clear choice for a library to interact with postgresql, I couldn't install the latest version due to its reliance on an obscure tool whose name I forgot and didn't get help on the forum), and Scala is seems complex....

F# was surprisingly easy to get started with. The community is mis-managed by a corporate-minded approach (requiring people to become member of the F# software foundation to get access to the official slack!), but its members are friendly, smart and ready to help. The ecosystem is great with access to all the dotnet libraries (some complain there's a mismatch as most of those are developed for use with C#, but I rarely got in trouble for using them).

There are also great libs and frameworks available. Like https://github.com/SchlenkR/FsHttp to easily interact with http servers, to the point that I find it easier to use than a dedicated library. Or https://github.com/CaptnCodr/Fli , to run commands. And last but not least, https://www.websharper.com/ is the best web framework I have encountered across all ecosystems. Their reactive approach to web ui really allows me to develop complex interfaces in a maintainable way.

This became a longer message than I thought, probably due to my enthousiasm for the language. For complete transparency, the situation is not perfect, and in my experience the tooling is not the best.

That’s assuming you’ll start rebuilding this year.
The purpose of that demo was to create a machine that can draw like humans can, as the creators explained. His objection was that whatever produced this had no concept of pain, and that’s what makes it grotesque. He called out that he had no objection to creating horror if that’s what the authors wanted to do.

That complaint is just as applicable to current Gen AI models. He wasn’t simply reacting with his gut to a gross looking video but to the concept of a thing with no concept of pain creating and animating artwork of living things. He understood the technology was about Gen AI, as “deep learning” is written on the whiteboard. He deserves some credit.

From what I remembe of Undergrad physics this isn't actually possible. According to GR, within an event horizon, space-like pths become "time-like" which effecitvely means the singularity is unavoidably "in the future". No matter how big a black hole is, you can't just drift around inside it as literally all paths lead downward (hence even light not escaping)

If you were inside a black hole you wouldn't be able to see light from "deeper" because it wouldn't be able to travel towards you.

This is not what we see within the universe, so I don't think we can be inside a black hole
The fact that you think 45% tax is fair is enough to disqualify your opinion.

Absolutely-- but if you have to exempt like 99% of your population from a law then its probably not too popular a concept (compare income tax, which a lot more people are actually fine with paying).

I still think this would have mainly negative effects if the gift tax rate is lower than inheritance tax anyway.

Poisoning Well
AMD have actually made several attempts at it.

The first time, they went ahead and killed off their effort to consolidate on OpenCL. OpenCL went terribly (in no small part because NVIDIA held out on OpenCL 2 support) and that set AMD back a long ways.

Beyond that, AMD does not have a strong software division or one with the teeth to really influence hardware to their needs . They have great engineers but leadership doesn’t know how to get them to where they need to be.

"If it screws something up it’s highly prone to repeating that mistake"

Certainly true, but coaching it past sometimes helps (not always).

- roll back to the point before the mistake.

- add instructions so as to avoid the same path. "Do not try X. We tried X it does not work as it leads to Y.

- add resources that could aid a misunderstanding (api documentation, library code)

- rerun the request (improve/reword with observed details or insights)

Yeah, usb-pd Extended Power Range (EPR) would be neat. First thing I thought of, but more in a wishful thinking rather than genuinely hopeful way.

140W is already EPR; usb-pd classic only went up to 100W (20v × 5A), which I sort of expect is what we'll see. 100W really wouldn't be terrible; it wouldn't be fast but often that's not necessary.

One could easily sub in a 36V × 5A EPR solution, giving 180W.

EPR tops out at that 240W, which isn't bad (48V × 5A). It's be great to see.

I'd also love to see any sort of device dare to offer parallel charging; plug in two USB-C cables to charge twice as fast. Sounds silly, can be a little tricky, but I just want to see someone do it because why not.

Nvidia is massively overvalued right now. AI has rocketed them into absolute absurdity, and it's not sustainable. Put aside the actual technology for a second and realize that public image of AI is at rock bottom. Every single time a company puts out AI-generated materials, they receive immense public backlash. That's not going away any time soon and it's only likely to get worse.

Speaking as someone that's not even remotely anti-AI, I wouldn't touch the shit with a 10 foot pole because of how bad the public image is. The moment that capital realizes this, that bubble is going to pop and it's going to pop hard.

No, the statistics I've seen haven't really been useful.

It's typically comparing cars in whatever autonomous modes vs all cars operating within a country/state. But the autonomous modes don't operate in all conditions, so it's not a good comparison.

There's concern about making sure the control group is appropriate too, comparing against a representative subset of the population is important.

I think there's some reasonable data for automatic emergency braking, in that I think I've seen it compared as just cars with aeb equipped vs cars without, number/severity of injuries for all collisions and there's enough data to show a difference.

HIP is now somewhat viable (and ROCm is now all HIP).

But — too late. First versions of ROCm were terrible. Too much boilerplate. 1200 lines of template-heavy C++ for a simple FFT. Can't just start hacking around.

Since then, the CUDA way is cemented in minds of developers. Intel now has oneAPI, and it is not too bad, and hackable, but there is no hardware and no one will learn it. And HIP is "CUDA-like", so why not CUDA, unless you _have to_ use AMD hardware.

Tl;dr first versions of ROCm were bad. Now they are better, but it is too late.
