Interestingly embedded 32 bit Linux is not tier 1 or 2 though :)

by jmalicki 1mo ago
Sure, but I had to look: Tier1: Windows x64/i686, Linux x64/ARM gcc, Darwin/ARM Tier2: Linux x64/ARM w/ clang, Windows ARM, WASM, Darwin/x64 Tier3 is a pretty low support level, but tiers 1 and 2 is a pretty sh

This is why I strongly like on-call. A lot of people hate it, but if you have a rotation, that will force this person to deal with what they create during their rotations, and the operational issues will be an explicit part of your job when

There's also the executive's incentives, and "I'll be gone, you'll be gone": the payoff for that is very long, and it will be hard for them to take credit, and their own tenure might not be as long as that team

Nothing here says the data isn't relational. It strongly disagrees, with reasons, why it's not better represented as relational. Personally I prefer the relational stance, and there are a lot of people who don't get it who s

Some of that is that EU providers need to up their game here. Needing an EU native option is really the one and only reasonably objection I've heard against using LLMs from the cloud, the rest is tin-foil hat level unless you're a

I am thinking the first place this appears is on GPUs and maybe Apple with unified memory, it is not going to be on PCs.

The idea is to provide overarching guidance, but when there is devil in the details, leave that up to courts to consider when there is a real actual issue at play, rather than legislators in the ivory tower theorizing about how things might

Since when has vagueness been considered a bad thing for statutes? It's the foundation of the US (and anglo) legal system and why courts exist, to fill in. And vague statutes that can be interpreted by courts has long been preferred

From the opinion: "Because the definitions of event and occurrence do not resolve the issue before us, we must also consider the statutory context" They talk about this and the exact definitions for basically the entire opinion.

The nice thing is that for GPUs you're rarely writing directly against the metal but instead pseudocode lowered by the driver; the driver could know to just lower it this way. On an NVidia GPU they control the whole stack and don&#x27

Why would you want to read something someone was so sloppy at they didn't improve it with AI?

by jmalicki 1mo ago
Yeah, that says pretty much nothing about what they do. It reads like an enterprise tech company webpage saying "we provide solutions to help transform your company into the digital age".

Even in C, if you want differently sized data to be indexable in O(1), you're stuck leaving them as pointers. You definitely could just have a variable-sized area for this, but that level of optimization is pretty seldomly done in C.

> Training a model for a specific task with the same amount of compute will outperform training a general-purpose model with the same amount of compute. This should be common sense, right? I see arguments like this all of the time in ML

How ironic. The reason you can't read the comment: "> The big milestone is when computers can read and understand information like humans do. There is a lot of work going on in this field - Google, Microsoft, Facebook, academi

I see it now, I misread. Still, being able to take you laptop to a meeting to either project, or to look up related material to catch up and clarify before making a point in a meeting etc. is invaluable (no, working at a laptop during a mee

It's not an algorithmic issue, though, that's a systems issue. GGP was talking about the cyclic link nature which isn't an issue of size, it's an issue of convergence.
49.
by jmalicki 1mo ago
That is not at all a problem. Links dampen their effect and you run it until convergence - read the paper. It's no different than summing an infinite convergent series, $\sum_{i=0}^n a^{-n}$. Also, WTF, it seems impossible to find a

Which is why, like often in these stories, there is probably more to it.

So a university should never teach a class unless at least 95% of its students would benefit from it? Yes, the one thing doesn't necessarily benefit everyone, but a university offers wide choices of interests.

You can get large under-laptop cooling pads with giant fans that can help this somewhat. It's not part of the laptop, but help if it's docked at home. It's not totally ideal since the bottom of your laptop doesn't have

Except for LLM inference speed, macs suck as a server and are pretty expensive, why wouldn't you get a Linux box?

You can dock your laptop at work, then dock it at home, take it with you to a meeting room at work to browse supplemental materials and/or project your screen n the meeting, and use it for the occasional trip (like using it on the trai

Why not a non-mac cheaper desktop/workstation and a Mac laptop for use? E.g. what most major tech companies have - a laptop that is for VSCode via ssh/web browsing, and a beefy Linux dev box you ssh into for everything else? It&#x

It doesn't sound like he's arguing for something different than a lot of movements in education like Waldorf schools, the Nueva School, progressive liberal arts colleges, or how a lot of graduate schools work. That school should b

Is founding a company not a thing some humans experience?

What is the point of a university if it not to provide education that could benefit wide areas of the human experience?

It will be cheaper than electricity - but your electricity will become a lot more expensive to enable that!
