  • Can all production be practically done in a distributed manner?

    Plenty of industry works best at scale-- you're not going to build neighbourhood-scale high-performance steel mills or semiconductor fabs.

  • Scientists at CERN successfully transported antimatter by truck for the first time, marking a breakthrough that enables moving these volatile particles to external laboratories for advanced precision

  • FedEx and UPS just salivating at an oppotunity to destroy the fabric of reality itself...

  • How do you play Poker with just 2-person text messages or DMs?

    Jump

  • Use a shared external source of randomness, like one of the shortwave "numbers stations", to seed an agreed upon algorithm that simulates shuffling a deck and dispensing the cards. You're running the same code on the same data, so you could show the cards you had seen after each hand to confirm everyone is in sync.

  • I was always more of a fan of the Pennsylvania Railtoad than the competing New Youk Central.

    It knows and demands blood.

  • RAM kits are now sold with one fake RAM stick alongside a real one

    Jump

  • Wouldn't two half-sized sticks perform better?

    I thought dual-channel RAM was a thing at least as far back as the original Socket A nForce chipset.

  • Trump Admin Drops the Olive Branch from U.S. Seal on New Dime Coins, Keeps the Arrows

    Jump

  • Yeah, but it was the norm prior to 1909 and was a little more aspirational than "he just got perforated, let's slap his face on the half dollar."

  • Trump Admin Drops the Olive Branch from U.S. Seal on New Dime Coins, Keeps the Arrows

    Jump

  • What's sad is that the obverse of the 250th dime is probably the best of the redesigns. For the first time since 1946, we'd have a circulating coin with an idealized figure of Goddess Liberty instead of a dead politician.

    The typography is atrocious though. And the lack of a cohesive design language sucks. The Charles III coinage from the UK are so much better as a thematic set.

  • I don't always instantly buy merch, but when I do...

  • This will go great with the "i eat solder" shirt Mastodon bullied influenced me into buying.

    Fedi people have the best taste in clothing.

  • China's smartest students used to chase tech and finance jobs. Now, they're choosing manufacturing.

    Jump

  • Maybe the sheen of tech and finance is limited. You're, at best, enabling other people's visions and at worst contributing to enshittification.

    It was appealing for a while with the promises of big paydays, but if they stop keeping that up, it won't stand on its merits.

    Making actual things has an emotional charm. I work for a fintech and the best I can do is point at a card terminal and say "maybe my code is one of 932 obscure steps towards you financing a $2.59 hot dog.."

  • ‘We are going make a tonne of money’: US Senator Graham on US war on Iran

    Jump

  • Then maybe the West shouldn't have spent 50 years selling the PRC the rope they're using to hang them with.

    Even some of the near east is starting to think about what happens when the goo runs out. Only the US is doubking down.

  • LLM Idolatrine: Why no one wants your agentic PRs

    Jump

  • One huge issue is that LLMs do weird and stupid things differently than how humans do them.

    If you've developed an eye for reading human-made changes, you're not necessarily going to recognize new and surprising failure modes as easily. It's literally harder than regular code review.

    Humans with modern tooling, for example, rarely hallucinate field/class/method/object names because non-spicy autocomplete keeps them on the rails. LLMs seem much more willing to decide the menu bar is .menuBar and not .topMenu, probably because their training corpus is full of the former.

  • I was disappointed they didn't say anything about when they built him into his distinctive aerodynamic casing.

    I assume there was some Machine Spirit crap going on there since it was almost 50 years after his death.

  • book

    Jump

  • Just finished 580 pages of steamship and railway business dickering.

    Now on to something where the vampires are less metaphoric.

  • China’s new language law to criminalise advocacy of ethnic minority rights

    Jump

  • This probably does offer better long-term economic prospects for their citizenry.

    Wouldn't students who were taught in (insert minority language here) be at a disadvantage trying to compete with first-language Mandarin speakers for jobs outside of their narrow region?

    Even in the US, there's been intense debates over schools offering core instruction in Spanish,

    Jump

  • Trying to sell consumers on "scaling solves everything" is going to be a hard sell.

    If we look at general purpose computation, which had decades of actual scaling-solves-everything growth, you had two influences that made the message resonate with customers:

    • Clear existing applications where more power made the experience straightforward better. Your spreadsheet took an hour to recalculate at 8MHz and 20 minutes at 25MHz. A lot of the "bigger model" stuff is plateauing with marginal or spotty gains. If I feed another 5 Internets of data to ChatGPT, will that summarized email be that much better?

    • New applications that could be demoed on specialised low capacity hardware and scaled down to consumers as more power became available. Think of early CGI on hardware costing tens of millions, and now you can run Blender on a $149 laptop. Since most commercial AI plays are hosted services, there's not much opportunity to tease that way anymore.

  • I figured SDF were the sort of people who would consider uptime a badge of honour.

    I should probably be on Hexbear but I didn't know of its existence at the time. Very problematic, my Xibuck direct deposits keep bouncing.
