The whole point is that these APUs present a pretty unique value proposition (lowish performance GPUs with massive amounts of RAM attached), and framework is afaik the only vendor shipping them on standard mini-ITX boards
"OpenAI's internal team solves famous maths problem" is technically impressive but dispiriting. Non-experts solving a problem by just throwing resources at it is kind of the worst possible optics for knowledge workers. It's just disempowering.
"Famous mathematician uses ChatGPT to solve famous math problem" is equally technically impressive, but now you're telling those very same knowledge workers "that famous mathematician could've been you". It puts you in the driver's seat, and provides a clear path forward — subscribe, use our product, and reap the rewards.
> If CEOs are going to start claiming that a core role of their job is emotional inspiration as a result of all those all hands meetings
Oh hell no. That's not where the value lies.
You can't send an AI CEO as part of a trade delegation. Sending an AI to close the deal doesn't tell the other party that you're there to make sure the deal happens. That's the sort of thing a human CEO does that an AI can't.
AI can’t replace genuine 1:1 human interaction. We’re social animals, and a machine pretending to be a human can’t engender the same emotional response as another human.
There's another aspect to it, though — parent was in a navy ship, surrounded by sailors. That's a very specific population, in a very specific situation, and it's not necessarily true that that's the right crowd or situation to care (though it baffles me how a sailor at sea might look up at the stars without being in awe of the thought "damn, my predecessors navigated based on those")
Spelling used to be a big one. E.g. in the opening sentence of the article, the word "otimização" would've been an obvious sign it was Brazilian, because the usual European Portuguese spelling was "optimização" — we had a bunch of silent consonants like that all over the place, but most of those got removed once Portugal started adopting the 1990 orthographic agreement[0]. Speaking of spelling differences, now that I'm re-reading, I could've noticed it was Brazilian from "ingênua" in the first section (would've been "ingénua" in European Portuguese).
A common pattern in the readme is the use of "em um" ("in/on a" in English), which is idiomatic in Brazilian, but not in European Portuguese, where the contraction "num" would be standard. It's one of the cases that could be attributed to overly stiff academic writing, though.
Funnily enough, it took me a while to determine it was definitely Brazilian Portuguese, given I'm a native Portuguese speaker, because the whole thing is written in a stiff academic-ish style that hides some the differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese.
When I first learned about the "clouds are noticeably brighter than the sky" part of Bortle 5, it was like it flipped a switch in my brain. I can't avoid noticing it now.
Doesn’t seem like these two guys were vegan for Instagram internet points or for following a trend. They’re not trying to game the system for steak, medium rare. Their dietary restrictions are part of a larger belief system — they’re vegans because it’s the only diet consistent with their beliefs about animal rights.
Irrespectively of my own personal opinion on ethical veganism, if it’s a sincerely held belief, it should be treated the same as, say, a Jewish inmate requesting to eat kosher, or a Muslim inmate requesting to eat halal. A prison sentence shouldn’t effectively force you to break with those beliefs.
"Port done with binary patches" has a bit of the same energy as the N64Recomp project[0], which converts N64 ROMs into C programs that can be built for modern PCs.
Looking at that chart, AI seems to have not done much of anything at all to Stack Overflow. They were already in sharp decline before LLMs became widely available.
`2>&1` redirects FD2 to the current contents of FD1 (stdout), then `> /dev/null` redirects FD1 to /dev/null. That results in your errors going into stdout, and discarding regular output altogether:
When you flip the order, `> /dev/null 2>&1` moves FD1 to /dev/null first, and then FD2 to the contents FD1 (/dev/null again), so you discard both errors and standard output:
Don't get me wrong: this system where Sony (or whomever else) just deletes stuff from your account with no recourse is absolutely batshit insane.
What I'm getting at is that people are getting the shape of the problem wrong (it was never ownership vs licensing), so the solution has to be different too. E.g. Bluray AACS revocation provides the technical means through which licences for physical media can be revoked just like purely downloadable stuff can.
Of course, you absolutely can build a No True Scotsman argument on top of that distinction, but I don't think that's what GP was doing.
