I think the registrar makes the difference:
autistici.org was registered via Gandi, but noblogs.org registrar is Tucows Domains Inc., which points[1] to njal.la, an "offshore" domain hoster that should be more resilient, but isn’t really usable for email hosting, since domains at such a hoster will land on blacklists almost immediately.
What was their rate of last minute cancellations? I suspect people in that circle frequently change plans, sometimes at the last minute, so having changed plans on that day would be unremarkable had that day itself been unremarkable.
I understand totally the need for registration and all.
My point is that I would like to know upfront so that my time is not wasted by pretending that it is not the case.
You do, there's like 20 providers for any model on openrouter. You can also just spin bedrock or gcp and download the weights for later if you're worried. It's never going to make cost sense when the token rate is so low with how expensive ram is
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't need to get a further ecosystem going there. Possibly the same for Apple.
Sure, there are examples like that in any large enough group. The folks who stormed the capitol on January 6th should still be in jail too. Breaking laws usually yields punishment under said laws (unless you support or in the good graces of the current president). Labelling broad swaths of people who protest your agenda and don't like your masked goons killing and kidnapping people in their communities terrorists is a gross abuse of power.
I'm able. I have no idea or wish to go cosplay as my mental model of someone having to use tools to access my website. I use accessibility tests that make sure content has readable colors. I set a content anchor so people can navigate without sight. I would really like to learn about any frameworks that can help me make my websites accesible to everyone. If there a gold standard?

At least to this point, the legal teams could get the model via discovery. IDK that the lawfirms realize that they could get experts (or that they'd have contacts that could) to search the model weights.
Wow, I wonder if chelation therapy early enough can reduce the damage to the student's nervous system. I'm not aware of how quickly organic mercury crosses the BBB once it enters the bloodstream, but my guess is "faster than you'd like".
I hope it was worth working with such a notoriously unsafe compound against regulations and all sense.
The memory allocators of that time were also better than the ones 12 years their prior. That's the point.
The point is that memory allocation shouldn't be a bottleneck either way. If it is the program needs to be optimized or redesigned. Better allocators give you more slack, they don't solve the problem. If the problem is already solved, then a basic allocator isn't going to make a big performance difference because it isn't the bottleneck.
those bad data structures would also cause "damage to speed and interactivity" or whatever. This isn't very hard to understand.
It depends on how much they are used and how much contention there is. Sometimes putting a mutex around things is fine.
But these are extremely common specified functions, they are called everywhere all the time
Not necessarily, especially for C string functions, but they do get linked in so it's a good thing musl makes them small.
I said "backbone", not "bottleneck".
Then the point is lost, because 'backbone' doesn't mean anything if it works. If it isn't a bottleneck in throughput or latency anywhere then the speed doesn't matter.
The other important thing is that better stuff can be included in pieces as it's needed. The reverse isn't true. If you use a big fat C library, you have a dependency that isn't going to get better.
Not really. I have to spell it out apparently: actual programs written by normal human programmers do those things, all the time,
You spelled it out last time, it's just not true in the sense that programs have to have these functions as bottlenecks. Strings, allocators and memory copying can all be dealt with independently, but again it's rare that strings and allocations really need to be the bottleneck and in those circumstances you probably want more than a different standard library anyway.
in the imaginary fantasy land people have in their heads where they make up arguments to themselves about how, if every program was written how they liked it,
I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean, there is nothing I've said that doesn't make perfect sense. If you want something to go faster you can make it go faster. A better allocator pales in comparison to lifting allocations out of hot loops.
My point is the musl is useful and the disadvantages are easy to work around. I'm not really sure what your point is, do you think people are going to force you to use it?
Interesting. I wonder where they're getting their data from then, because they list Z.ai under Singapore, but everything I'm finding says they're based in Beijing. Same with MiniMax.
"Speech is violence" is very popular with the campus groups that want to ban speakers they disagree with.
I'm not sure if it's still going on, but a few years ago the same crowd kept insisting that "silence is violence" which is even more ludicrous - if you're not parroting their critical race theory talking points at every opportunity, YOU are committing an act of violence.
They blocked geothermal drilling in the desert. After multiple years of blocking it with use of environmental law they finally managed to preserve it as a conservation area for sustainable tourism:
> Organizers of the Burning Man festival in northwest Nevada have reached a settlement with a geothermal energy developer that cancels an exploratory drilling project that some feared would ruin the ambiance of the counter-culture event.
Yes, the right brand would. Perhaps not for a lot of money, though.
> What would the advertising space be worth?
I don't know, but I expect an advertiser is going to take reach into account. How many people would see the ad? A couple thousand at most? Unless you go viral, I guess, but you can't count on that and it would only happen once.

This is indeed what is happening behind the scenes. By default Windows Update will automatically download and install support packages for pretty much any device Windows can identify through manufacturer/device IDs, which includes PCIe and USB devices but also monitors. This is most commonly used to deliver drivers but Microsoft allows these packages to silently install any user-facing application as well, presumably due to peripherals such as GPUs or audio chipsets often requiring "control panels" or similar companion apps.
Around a month ago LG took advantage of this feature by publishing a Windows "driver" for all their TVs and monitors that consisted entirely of payola bloatware, resulting in predictable backlash [1] and the obligatory subsequent HN discussion [2]. None of this has anything to do with the TVs themselves being connected to the internet or not.
Thank you! This was the very first question that popped into my head. My gut said it had to be a fraction. I did not realize just how small a fraction.
Not really. MFA still protects against the much more common case where the password itself is compromised, either through a breach, reuse, phishing, interception, bad storage, etc. An MFA code is short-lived and can’t simply be reused later, unlike a password.
Keeping the password and MFA secret in the same password manager reduces separation (if someone fully compromises your vault, they will gain access to both factors). But that doesn’t make MFA pointless; it just means it doesn’t protect you against that particular failure mode.
And if someone has full access to your password manager, you already have a much bigger problem.
Apple did say PCIe Gen 6 - in the original version of the press release. That's where the quote came from. But they have now changed it to exclude the reference to Gen 6:
"Storage performance is up to twice as fast, with a next-generation SSD architecture, delivering industry-leading read and write speeds for rapid project loading, file transfers, and loading huge LLMs."
Here's the original, archived press release from August 25th (look under "Blazing-Fast Storage and Pro Connectivity"):
