They have said they will not build the best and latest here in the US. Many of the fabless companies here in the US want access to that latest stuff and the US is vested in keeping that channel open for market/defense/security reasons.

The Chip Wars book is an excellent read and tells you us the supply chain is globally integrated. If we were to draw a country graph of technology dependence to create semiconductor technology T (tools, chips, etc) - well, there is no DAG. The defense department is not so happy to see all this free market sharing of essential technology going on as it benefits non-friendly nation(s).

The book also illustrated how behind Russia was/is with weapons technology and semiconductors in general (compared to the US).

Had to go to ChatGPT for help. It appears that you need to know how many tiles to stitch. I was hoping to have that dynamically determined. Not sure if loopback will help.

CGPT said: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fps=1,tile=3x1" -frames:v 1 output_stitched.png

Gemini: ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -vf "fps=1,scale=220:-1" -c:v png output.png

There really is an exception to every rule. "Do not attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence" and then you come across:

I think I read about this a few months ago but don't remember the details. What exactly does this do? Does it result in faster encoding/decoding if you have multiple filter graphs (for example a single cmd line that transcodes to new audio, extracts image, creates a low res)

> - ffmpeg CLI loopback decoders

No idea what this is...

Edit: threading => https://ffmpeg.org//index.html#cli_threading, loopback => https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Loopback-decoders

Loopback decoders are a nice concept. So could I use this to create a single ffmpeg command to extract images periodically (say 1/s) and then merge them into a horizontal strip (using the loopback decoder for this part)?

Don't they already use it for emergency purposes on the Iphone 14 and 15? For free on the new phones but I think it is getting subscription based soon.

I am just happy there is a native Redis-like available on Windows. I believe there is another RavenDB replacement but this one is 'more' official!

Is it possible to use Aspire locally or is it just a cloud only 'framework'?

Culture fix is a long term thing, right? I hope they can survive on just the 777/etc. Over the weekend I finished watching the building of the 777 documentary on Youtube and it was a good watch.

Different industry but where I am we are having a huge doctor shortfall. The culture and mindset required to change it is nowhere/not yet in sight. We need more MD training schools/spots and trainers to get those numbers up, and even then the solution is at best a decade away.

Imagine a category - books for machines (some sort of LLM or RAG augment). Kind of like the downloadable helicopter manual that Trinity uses in the Matrix. Then having a higher order integration onto your foundational muscle memory would be the next step. Human (vCurrent + 0.1).

The nice thing is performance would be different based on the human getting it. It kind of preserves some unique element.

Does that take care of deleting the files inside the bucket? That's an API call ($). Depending on the data that could be quite a bit.

Thanks.

Would it still be under the default warranty? 1 year or so?

Do you think the new M3 Air w/16 GB could be comparable CPU wise to the M1 Pro? I am guessing GPU wise (for inference like apps) it probably falls behind.

Thanks.

In the tokenization example for '"Mississippilessly", why is 'si' not part of the combined column? It appears twice in the text. My speculation is that it got collapsed out with 'iss' (a longer token). Is that right?

I did that too and could not find a way to collapse it.

Is MOE then basically divide and conquer? I have no deep knowledge of this so I assumed MOE was where each expert analyzed the problem in a different way and then there was some map-reduce like operation on the generated expert results. Kinda like random forest but for inference.

Thanks. Our use case is simpler so we only have one variant that gets uploaded and served. However we do not have any associated .m3u8 files, so that was my concern.

What is 'appropriate transcoding'?

Yeah... this stood out! Do you have any good alternatives? I wish CloudFlare would do it (IDP).

I had not updated LINQPad in a while and just saw the price this year. Eeesh. I now live in a .NET Interactive (Jupyter like) environment.

Yep. Pay us less every month and stick around for a long time. Getting low prices makes it really difficult to move away.

If you still decided to move away, and want to take data with you, yeah... there is a cost. Heck there is a cost to delete the data you have with them (like S3 content).

Its a good way to do business.

Still on an old Intel Air but looking for an M-class does not have to be the latest.

1) How does the M1 Pro compare to the M3 base? Chip performance only.

2) M1 Pro's seem scarce. People holding on to them?

Wasn't there an Udemy course that was really popular? Has anyone had any experience with that one?

The City of Ottawa (Canada) has gone in big on traffic cams and its paying huge dividends. $0.5 million + from one camera alone over a ~4 month period.

Does anyone have a link to an intro level/ELI5 document on phage v. bacteria and how that could help humans?

Where can we find the latest OpenAI language model rankings?

> If the evaluation period expires, the desktop background will turn black, you will see a persistent desktop notification indicating that the system is not genuine, and the PC will shut down every hour.

Otherwise you have an approx 1 month trial period. Which is pretty short - 2 months would be better.

Yes!
