This would have been interesting if true, but this other HN comment suggests it isn’t https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9374977

They suggest the connection is tenuous, not that there is none. Though I'll admit that I [mis?]remembered it as being a little more direct than that.

You may have misremembered an old Onion News bit[1] about the CIA requesting congress to renew funding for its "'Facebook' program"

That was a good bit, but no, it was based on reporting about the connection mentioned in the link above, an investor having served on a board with CEO of In-Q-tel.

Isn't Trump the pro-"crypto Ponzi scheme" (as you called it) candidate? Asset prices of both crypto and stocks seem to think so.

Not only pro but going to put your tax dollars in:

Read my other comments. It's a protest vote. They don't care what his actual policies are. No one is willing to pop the economic bubble, so voters are just going to burn the whole thing down.

Yep. It's ironic and shitty, but people just did a protest vote. They aren't looking at the specific proposals. They don't care anymore. You're absolutely right, but honestly both parties are completely in on the Ponzi scheme. So it probably doesn't matter.

Why did they mention "gaming performance" (i.e., frame rate change which isn't always directly connected to CPU performance) and not absolute performance (across a range of benchmarks)? The latter is more meaningful.

1) It's normal in these benchmarks to ensure the GPU is not a bottleneck, and use games that are primarily CPU bound.

2) The X3D CPUs are primarily aimed at people obsessing over getting another hundred FPS out of a ten year old game. The places where these CPUs outrun a similar priced CPU with standard cache design are niche, and specific games are one of the prime niches they do well in.


IMO ray tracing remains a gimmick and the die space would be better spent on more normal compute hardware. Basically every game that doesn't have a day/night cycle can prebake their lightning and have it look nicer than any possible real-time ray tracing. Ray/Path tracing does look nice in Cyberpunk, though.

While I originally understood it the way you did, I think they were referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation

Could OpenAI make it impossible for startups to try to build AI search engines by signing all these paid agreements with publishers?

I hope so!!! These AI startups are hot garbage! did you see what the "suno" losers did?

Neat! Are these compatible with torch compile?

I used a Surface Pro for 6 years and and haven’t missed the touch screen once since switching back to MBP 3 years ago. I would have missed the handwriting input but that’s what a low end iPad is for.

This happens whenever I load up one of our PyTorch models on my M1 MBP 16gb too. I also hate the part where if the model (or any other set of programs) uses too much RAM the whole system will sometimes straight up hang and then crash due to kernel watchdog timeout instead of just killing the offender.

There is an API `proc_setpcontrol` which absolutely noone uses which does the thing you want.

It definitely gets unstable in those situations, but you probably don't want your scripts randomly OOM killed either.


> There is an API `proc_setpcontrol` which absolutely noone

Gee, I wonder why.

  $ man proc_setpcontrol
  No manual entry for proc_setpcontrol

Sorry what is the thing I want in this case? No stuttering or no crashing?

Killing the process instead of affecting (or crashing) the rest of the system.

This is almost completely undocumented outside of this HN post (check Google). Can you tell us more about what this does and how it is intended to be used? Thanks!

Even with antibiotics strep really sucks for kids (painful!) and parents (kid needs to stay home from school). Seems like there would be obvious demand. The article says the FDA banned testing for like 40 years due to a tiny issue during a trial in the late 20th century.
