Nice that Intel acknowledges there are problems with that CPU generation. If I read this right, the CPUs have been supplied with a too-high voltage across the board, with some tolerating the higher voltages for longer, others not so much.

Curious to see how this develops in terms of fixing defective silicon.

I get where you're coming from, but discussing which decisions lead to something of the scale like this, deserve to be talked about from more than just one angle.

Your post sounds like you want to defend the "one" person responsible for the actual problem, which is something I fully understand and care about. I myself didn't read the 4000+ upvotes thread at all, because it was not about the actual problem, but about ranting.

I think a problem of this scale emerges from a culture, and the only job of a CEO is establishing culture. Which is why I think we have to discuss the role of a person which happened to allow something like this to happen twice within just a few years, and more importantly, what can be learned from their mistakes.

Not many people on this planet can claim to be responsible for an outage of this scale. What leads to this, and more importantly, what can be learned from this, deserves a discussion.

Quite a few similar submissions in the last 24 hours gained enough upvotes to show on the front page, seems like someone keeps flagging them. I'm not sure why though, I think the discussion about the similarities and potential reasons behind these events could prove interesting.

This post is not even on the first four pages despite ~20 upvotes within an hour, from experience this takes quite a few flags

Incredible that this is the #1 post on HN. The slightest amount of basic research what this functionality does is absent, combined with the obviously ignored knowledge WHY firefox still has any users at all.

Glad the whole thread was apparently flagged to death though. I'd guess 90% of firefox users already turned that off and are actively looking for the next best alternative.

Do you think that Microsoft won't use that data in their telemetry somehow? Probably not as raw data, but as a locally AI-distilled version of it? Linked to your microsoft account, which is almost impossible to not link nowadays if you're not an expert?

Don't you agree that the data was in the initial version accessible by all local users on the same machine? Would you consider that a security leak?

Anything which could be exploited will be exploited, the only question is how long it takes.

OTOH, the performance advantage compared to the H100 is super-impressive according to tfa. Things could become interesting again in the GPU market.

Using PopOS for 4 years now, currently with an Nvidia 4070 Super(TI?) on my gaming rig ... no issues whatsoever

I think the question wasn't about the technology. The question is why doesn't android more intelligently manage Wifi connections. The foundation is of course the network stack, but to manage bidirectional availability you just need to have a bidirectional connection, or even pings, or whatever you can think of being google to detect if the connection is stable. If it is not, and the mobile network connection is, then - don't use wifi.

Nvidia is sub-par in terms of leadership compared to other competitors. They didn't anticipate the crypto hype, they didn't anticipate the AI hype, they just were there doing the thing they can: delivering raw GPU power.

And this is the only thing their leadership did right in my eyes: they hired the talent² to provide raw GPU power, which they did. This accidentally turned out to be the thing behind crypto, and, after crypto faded, also the thing behind AI. They didn't anticipate any of that, and their competitors didn't either.

If their luck runs out, which isn't a given¹, we'll see what their leadership can in fact do. I don't think it will be much.

Start by not reading news. Convince others to do so as well. Instead, ask them to read sources. Inform them about disinformation, and if they are intellectually challenged, guide them to the least damaging news outlets. Remind yourself that all humans are not inherently bad, and that we all strive for a better life, and that noone really wants war.

Not defending isOdd in any way, but the example shows that even something as clear-cut as testing a number for oddness isn't that easy to get right:

isOdd(-1) === false

(-1 % 2 === -1)

Fascinating. Thanks for that link.

This will definitely be flagged, because of rhetoric and inflammatory speech. Nevertheless most of the STEM educated populace share the sentiment that shutting down Nuclear Energy at the time was not an intelligent move.

Nonetheless interesting article, all facts are verifiable from local news.

Maybe we should consider starting over again in that case. Wayland increasingly appears to be supported by a sunk cost fallacy itself - the A11Y issues are not fixable in the base architecture, which means that every Wayland DM implementation needs to implement them again, which in turn means lots of different APIs, incompatibilities and so on.

Alternatively, download llama3 or any popular and current open weight LLM, run it with llama.cpp or llamafile and enjoy ChatGPT-3.5 and above levels of Tailwind Expertise

I'm not saying the answers will be good, just that they will at least be at the same level.

This is unworthy of a democracy. Hardly believable. Is this really true what's stated in that thread?

The author suggests that GPT4-Turbo should have been GPT-5, but turned out too weak. Not sure if I buy that personally, I'm quite confident that OpenAI can deliver a lot more than GPT4 does right now, just not in a way that is economically feasible. GPT4-Turbo may be an intermediate release to have something to show while more work is being done behind the scenes.

Can you name other examples? I didn't have that impression yet, and the wallfacer example strikes me as a bad one (in the given context, it is reasonable to give the wallfacers full authority, would probably be the same even if the author was a Texan Redneck)

They do this while performing the burn of the (in this case) 2nd stage. "No, that's inefficient" is misleading, IMHO. They also waste some delta-V by starting the circularization burn a little bit early.

You surely know that, but mathematically it is unavoidable to have a 2nd burn at the apoapsis to have an orbit (with a periapsis > the initial launch altitude, minus gravity and atmospheric losses), albeit it may start earlier (while wasting a slight amount of delta-v).
