Gnome is quite 'opinionated' in what it chooses; if you like their choices you enjoy it; if you don't....hmm. Personally I also have some things I specifically dislike; I prefer to have a fixed 3x3 virtual desktop grid, and G

The new leg design is interesting - it's quite a change to have one segment out of line with the others; and unlike any natural leg ??

Ooh, it's got to be about 30 years since the Tcl plugin for Netscape; so perhaps we can have it back in the browser via WASM.

Wouldn't the other reason to have multiple manufacturer keys, be to guard against them losing the private key for one in a way that means they can't sign anything any more?

Does anyone have a feel for how heavy the weight of an equivalent oil(?) driven ship would be? It has the big number for the weight of batteries, but I've got nothing to compare against.

Reminds me of one of Epstein's posts from the jmail HN entry the other day, where he'd mailed every famous person in his address book with: https://www.jmail.world/thread/HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019871?view=p...

Can they do that here, they've got quite a few sets of 4/5 atoms which they've interconnected, so that's a lot to get by shotgunning it. I'd assumed they were using something like a STM to nudge the atoms around.

The engineering at those scales is pretty magical isn't it! Getting a whole bunch of individual atoms exactly where they want them. I wonder what the success rate is - i.e. how many do they build to get one working.

This is great; I hate fighting distro source tools when I want to debug something.

Well, look through it's log and what it did and if you don't understand anything ask it why it did it/what it does.

I'd like one stage further - what are the genetics of this area? How does a dedicated brain area like this get encoded - (Hopefully the Allen Institute might dig on this one?); but if we can find how the areas are encoded in the DNA

Interesting, however in my case we have someone who eats a banana each day with breakfast. There's no way to buy 7 bananas in your weekly shop!

I sometime use Ocado in the UK, and it's 'OK' but it's certainly not at the cheap end of the market. I more often use a traditional supermarkets home delivery service where it's manually picked; those supermarkets h

The 'Glass slipper' idea makes sense to me; people have a bunch of different ideas to try on AIs, and try it as new models come out, and once a model does it well they stick with it for a while.

Nice article; I hate to think what the DC bus bars look like! ~50v at ~25kW/rack; 500A bus bars - I guess split, but still!

The Block floating point (MXFP8/4 stuff) is interesting; the AI stuff is really pushing basic data types that haven't moved for decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_floating_point

Thanks; hmm but that means the version with EDAC has been in use since 2002, so is less likely related to todays update? (hth did they design stuff without protection back upto that point?)

Where did you see that it didn't have ECC?

It might be that they're limited by something else in their existing racks; say power or networking ports, so this is an easy hack to get into their existing rack scheme.

You'd think that from an environmental point of view, Apple would be able to sell packs of Mac Mini boards without the case and packaging for people doing this; with no physical board or electronic change, it would be easy.

Even local, MoE are just so much faster, and they let you pick a large/less quantized model and still get a useful speed.

Looks like someone is trying to push for it: https://ukenergystorage.co.uk/ Good if they can get it to work; there's also a hydrogen/ammonia storage scheme being planned; https://www.statkraft.co.uk

Yeh it probably is expensive - but we currently have no other way (other than gas) to cover the low-wind/sun periods; while there are times when the UK can almost run purely off wind, there are other periods where we get ~5% of that w

I've seen (commercial) software put in 'Escrow' before when a client uses it; effectively a lawyer (or similar) holds onto a copy so that if the original company goes under, then the buyer can get hold of it.

I guess if you were using the LLM to process data from your customers, e.g. categorise their emails, then this argument would hold that they might be more risky.

And where did you get the reference SHA256SUMS from ? Did you check the gpg signature on them against a good sig from somewhere?
