It depends on your supplier, because they set the pricing and that information gets displayed on your meter. Octopus (UK) has a dynamically-priced service called Agile where you can query the API as a user; in some cases the API doesn't even need a login for regional pricing. You would have to build some logic on top for most smartplugs through something like HomeAssistant. There are storage batteries which can react to pricing, and some which will also work in concert with current solar power or other renewables.

Oops, yeah, need to remove the `do_something();` for the loop to be UB.

> Well, assume that we are eg looking at the 'sudo' program. In any case, almost any code can become harmful, if memory gets corrupted, and if attackers control the input.

Not really; OOB stores, sure, but, other than that, even something basic like username comparison or something resulting in OOB loads on too-long names could technically be completely safe if OOB loads were defined as "either returns an arbitrary value, or crashes", just resulting in superfluous rejections.

And, in a safe language, no matter how wrongly you'd implement flag/argument parsing (besides some equivalent of just straight up passing the args to system() or equivalent), as long as the final thing actually processing the request & comparing passwords doesn't assume anything specific of the parsed internal data format, it could cause no actual exploitable issues.
Nice yeah, a video would be great! Good work either way :D
I think these highly-rational people are completely blind to the "soul"-like element of real art. (It doesn't help that 20th century art was full of people who were also blind to it.)

Roughly I would explain the way this works as: humans have actual phenomenological experiences as bodies in the physical world, which acts as the ground-truth for our subjective experiences.

Then, on top of this ground truth, accrue many layers of additional information—ideas, prejudices, labels, etc. LLMs, when they parrot human speech or artistic mediums, are able to reproduce many of the patterns in these higher layers. Fine.

We are especially attuned (as kids, say) to the physical presence of other humans, and to other living creatures and the natural world. And—if William James is to be believed—the experience of a sunset, say, when unobscured by these layers of ideas, is a nearly divine thing—seemingly alive in itself, or a gift bestowed by some will outside ourselves.

An artist, then who is very attuned with the subjective "ground truth", and capable in their medium, is able to make art which represents that ground truth such that our human nature recognizes as unmistakably human. This is not just a blob of information which accurately references the human experience, but is furthermore crafted just so that it strikes us as of the ground-truth-world itself, subverting or transcending those layers of ideas that obscure the fullness of feeling, by being perfectly tuned to human nature (by their own human nature).

Something like that, anyway. Perhaps an LLM could copy this too. That LLMs so far have failed to, though, is telling—every single LLM output (and many human outputs) read as cliche, kitsch, or mimicry.

Even if we assume an LLM could capture the latent "ground truth" in human art, there is additionally the element of "being in the room with the art". A painting simply does not equal the "information in the painting"—it is a physical object, itself part of the same world our bodies occupy, and this is part of its essence. Great art, we might say, is that which strikes our own human nature as a recognizable part of the "ground truth of reality", as opposed to a mere arrangement of information.

Generally this is most easily seen with live music. I've only ever felt the "ground truth" I'm describing around classical music, myself, because that's what I know, but I've seen enough to know that the thing all these AI art squabbles are about ain't it.

Please go learn about modern Ryzen power and performance management, namely Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer - and how to undervolt an AM4/AM5 processor.

The stuff the chip and motherboard do, completely built-in, is light-years ahead of what you're doing. Your power-saving techniques (capping max frequency) are more than a decade out of date.

You'll get better performance and power savings to boot.
Brings back memories!

In my case it was a slide on an air cushioned aluminum beam.

And the interesting part was that for some reason, if we pulled it up towards the top, behind some point it used shorter time to travel across the whole beam.

I put quite some effort into figuring out why, repeating it again and again, studied the beam to see if there was any irregularities, brainstormed on why this happened.

My physics teacher really liked that at least some of his students had dug into it (I think we weren't the only group) and made it very clear in the feedback (he did not mention who had gotten it wrong, just that some had observed this and looked into it instead of covering it up or throwing away the data we didn't like).

Didn't exactly enjoy school, but people like him made it a lot better.
> I feel like this issue is to at least some extent a red herring.

I don't see that, these two issues adequately explain why so few GPUs have official support. They don't want to get hit with a lawsuit, as a result of issues outside their sphere of control.

> If this really is due to patent issues AMD can likely afford to license or cross-license the patent given potential upside.

Have you ever known any company willing to cede market dominance and license or cross-license a patent letting competition into a market that they hold an absolute monopoly over, let alone in an environment where antitrust is non-existent and fang-less?

There is no upside for NVIDIA to do that. If you want to do serious AI/ML work you currently need to use NVIDIA hardware, and they can charge whatever they want for that.

The moment you have a competitor, demand is halved at a bare minimum depending on how much the competitor undercuts you by. Any agreement on coordinating prices leads to price-fixing indictments.
I've been telling people for years that NVIDIA is actually a software company, but nobody ever listens. My argument is that their silicon is nothing special and could easily be replicated by others, and therefore their real value is in their driver+CUDA layer.

(Maybe "nothing special" is a little bit strong, but as a chip designer I've never seen the actual NVIDIA chips as all that much of a moat. What makes it hard to find alternatives to NVIDIA is their driver and CUDA stack.)

Curious to hear others' opinions on this.

In Idea you have to explicitly select the fields which should be included. So it’s always choice of a developer to misuse it.

My favorite question on interviews is explaining all methods of class Object, including the contract and best practices for equals/hashCode. Failure to answer this question automatically disqualifies applicants to mid-level and senior positions.
“Corporate efficiency” is vague and largely meaningless. “Don’t waste a bunch of your coworkers’ time” is a lot more concrete. Especially don’t set up the people who answer the phones to get angry calls due to your prank.

Is it?

At the end of the day, whether it's effective or not, Duolingo sells the feeling that you are learning a language to people. Winning a competition with Duolingo means doing better at making people feel like they are learning a language -- the strategy to win against Duolingo probably involves watering down the learning even more, to better sell the feeling.

A good way to think about it is look at some organization that wants to be effective at actually teaching its employees a new language, like the state department:

https://www.state.gov/foreign-service-institute/foreign-lang...

20 hours a week of intensive instruction.

Spanish 30 weeks
Cantonese 88 weeks
Turkish 44 weeks

This is what it actually takes.

AIUI, AMD documentation claims that the requirement for PCIe Atomics is due to ROCm being based on Heterogeneous System Architecture, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_System_Architect... which allows for a sort of "unified memory" (strictly speaking, a unified address space) across CPU and GPU RAM. Other compute API's such as CUDA, OpenCL, SYCL or Vulkan Compute don't have HSA as a strict requirement but ROCm apparently does.
Gleam, much like any language which primarily targets BEAM, is slower by an order of magnitude or two when compared to F#.
This was a major gap waiting to be filled. After my experience with GH CodeSpaces, I've been wanting a system that simply provided the shell experience in the browser without the IDE. This should help I think.

Thank you.

Is Python support on the cards?
In turn I will raise you the following: Why are GPU ISA trade secrets at all? Why not open them up like CPU ISAs, get rid of specialized cores and let compiler writers port their favorite languages to compile into native GPU programs? Everyone will be happy. Game devs will be happy with more control over the hardware, Compiler devs will be happy to run haskell or prolog natively on GPUs, ML devs will be happier, NVIDIA/AMD will be happier with taking the MainStage.
Not necessarily. You can simulate a high-level process independent from the low-level processes that make it up.

For example you can simulate traffic without simulating the inner workings of every car's engine, or even understanding how the engine works.

You "forgot" to copy the colon from the original statement. A curious exclusion given the semantic meaning it carries. Were you hoping I didn't read your original comment and wouldn't notice?

How could one ever possibly become upset on an internet forum? Even if for some bizarre and unlikely reason you were on the path to becoming upset, you'd turn off the computer long before ever becoming upset. There is absolutely no reason to use this tool if it isn't providing joy.

I kindly disagree :-). I think I'd rather not be immortal but live in a world with nature and animals than be imortal in a jar. Right now we don't manage to be immortal, and we are extinguishing the animals... the worst of both worlds?

This was developed mostly for computer chess, where games are often played starting from preset positions, where one side already has a significant advantage. The top chess engines, when playing each other from the regular starting position, which is very equal, will almost always draw (especially in time controls where they have an increment of one second or more), so we humans have to force them to play lines that they would never go into so that the games aren't all draws (and while some games can be exciting and still drawn, that is not the case with most of the lines the engines will pick when playing from the start position).

This is essentially just a subset of the Chess960 positions that don't require any modification to the castling rule.
I would immediately disqualify them: "The all-in-one platform for private and secure AI" and no pricing for purchasing hardware, only API keys and prices per token are mentioned.

That's basically "trust me, bro" and certainly not something I'd stake NDA compliance on.
Write() can be called byte by byte, with the full buffer to write, or anything in between. in test what mattere is the write thing is written not how you many times you call write.
ALWAYS suspect some fuckup on the part of the knowledgeable people... especially them!

Indeed it could have. I was on a fairly prestigious scholarship; luckily, my marks were good enough that this was a low-risk decision.

That said...

I graduated with a 3.2 GPA, after being the stereotypical "gifted" student up through high school. A 3.2 is, apparently, still decent. However, I did feel a bit of a twinge seeing my peers walk at graduation with with cords, bents, and other regalia, where I just had my standard-issue black robe.

It had less to do with my grade in this particular class, and more to do with the fact that I had a part-time engineering job - 10-20 hours a week - and was making money. When you've spent a couple of years being broke, having an extra few hundred dollars per month was a big deal. Enough so that I didn't really care about putting the extra effort in for A's - that extra time was time better spent working. B's were fine if I could afford to take my girlfriend out to dinner every month.

In the years since then, it seems like this was a good decision. That job became full-time after college, and I stayed there six years. At the end of six years, nobody really cared about my college GPA. At the end of nine years (when I next looked for a job), I didn't even bother listing it on my resume.

>That would be a very valuable lab, IF students hadn't been explicitly trained in opposite behaviour for a decade by then.

I teach students sometimes. I briefly considered whenever I should give them such important lesson. Very briefly: my job is to teach students my specialty, not give them life lessons. Why would I deal with potentially angry students for doing something that's not obvious I'm allowed to do? Hell, it's not even obvious it that would be a "good" (career advancing) lesson.
True, but I believe Flatpaks offer more than just "single executable applications". In the case of Aeon it's the primary way of installing additional software.
I made a post here a while back suggesting an investment strategy of spending one billion on AMD shares and one billion on software developers to 3rd party write a quality support stack for their hardware. I'm still not sure if its a crazy idea.

Actually it might be better to spend 1B on shares and 10x 100M on development and take ten attempts in parallel and use the best of them.

Software Engineer with 8yoe. Most of my career I've led research and startup-like commercial projects for companies wanting to modernize their processes, using whichever technology I felt was adequate. Some examples are: deployment of multiple applications on EC2 instances and on Kubernetes (with EKS, Helm Charts, ArgoCD, Istio), telemetrics pipeline and dashboards with AWS (S3, Lambda, Glue, Athena, Grafana) to track millions of daily messages from a fleet of vehicles, firmware for two 1M€ industrial EVs, a plugin for Cura 3D printing software, knitting machine defect detection with computer vision, redid my employer's website from scratch, telemetry of a global fleet of threading machines, a cloud connected tractor using satellite data for fertilization, firmware of a machine that manufactures medical plastic parts with ultrasounds... I've also recently won the Swisshacks hackathon with an AI RAG tool for financial analysts.

R and D in the financial statements I've seen basically covers the entire product, engineering etc org. Lots and lots of people, but not what regular people consider RnD.
You and I are either talking about very different kinds of specifications or very different kinds of product people. The product people I'm familiar with are completely incapable of creating a specification that is sufficiently detailed to implement without a lot of back and forth. Not because they're not good at what they do, but because what they do does not include defining requirements in sufficient fidelity for an engineer to act on.
You don't have to belive me, you know... Just look at what happend with Microsoft users over time as the OSs became more and more unconfigurable. On the other side, Linux users, from the beginning until recently, were very competent. They stayed competent because they had to. School is compulsory for everybody a reason - extremely few people learn, unless they're forced to.

"Mindless drones" is probably a little harsh - I usually reserve that for mobile phone/tablet users.

Mind sharing the question/prompt? It'll be fun to try it in other LLMs.
I don’t think these tendentious language games are winning as much support for your position as you think. Do you object to calling people felons, instead of saying they are people convicted of a felony? I know the idea is that by not calling someone a felon, you imply that some negative characteristic doesn’t define a person. But it’s been extended from diseases and mental illnesses, where the logic does make some sense, to legal categories, where I don’t think people ever had an issue keeping the two things apart. Also, progressives are hypocrites in that they are more than willing to call people racists instead of saying they’re merely people expressing racist thoughts or engaging in racist behaviors.
Eh that’s fair.
