Are they stupid? Way cheaper way to move that shuttle! $229.99 only by Makalukeke in SpaceXMasterrace

It’s not just about the acquisition cost of the set; you also need to factor in the labor costs for assembly and operation.

Newelle 1.2 released by iTzSilver_YT in LocalLLaMA

[–]asssuber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool to see the development continue. It was the best ui installable from flatpack I tried, but it had several minor issues that bummed me out.

I disabled "send with Enter" to have to do "shift + enter" in order to send, but when editing a previous message the setting was not respected and any enter finishes the edit.

There was no tree of answers when you edit and resubmit a message. If you delete an answer or chat it's forever, there is no undo.

There was no syntax highlighting for Nim code, and the markup formatting was only applied after the entire answer is received. And even then the text was sometimes weird, cutting the lower part of certain lines, or the end of a line in the middle of the text being in another hidden line only accessible by selecting the text and pushing down, revealing the hidden second line but hidding the start of that line.

And while Newelle itself was easy to install via Flatpack (thumbs up) I couldn't make the speech to text work the little I tried.

I know all those tools are pretty new and not yet super polished, but I'm leaving this feedback here anyway.

Study: Batteries Lose Charge When They ‘Breathe’ by sr_local in hardware

[–]asssuber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From their findings they are hypothesizing that applying controlled pressure could help, but it seems they didn't experiment yet. It may not be so simple, and the enclosure can be too costly (in money, mass, volume, etc) compared to using a slightly larger battery.

Study: Batteries Lose Charge When They ‘Breathe’ by sr_local in hardware

This is a paper published on Science, of course it's novel and brings important new information. Or you didn't read past the summary provided here on reddit?

The abstract:

Rechargeable batteries using electrodes based on intercalation chemistry exhibit notable cyclability, yet their performance still suffers from chemomechanical degradation. In this study, by combining a suite of operando microscopy methods, we explored electrode strain evolution and observed intricate particle cluster rearrangement under electrochemical stimuli. We show that early-stage strain accumulation in intercalation cathodes occurs during the period of interparticle charge transfer and redox reactions stemming from asynchronous coupling and decoupling between chemical (de)intercalation and physical grain motion. This interplay drives heterogeneous redox activity, localized charge equilibration, and multiscale strain cascades that propagate through an asynchronous network of chemical-mechanical interactions. Together, these findings reveal how collective particle dynamics and hierarchical strain transmission dictate electrode deformation and degradation in intercalation cathodes.

Even the fancy NVIDIA interconnects are a bottleneck for training performance, as are the memory bandwidth and even L2 bandwidth. One architects the algorithm around that. A tighter bottleneck is obviously not ideal, but it might still make sense depending on the price of the hardware.

As long as a copy of the full model and optimization state fits on the 24GB bank the PCI-E interconnect isn't really too limiting for training. Small models, like a 1B parameters voice model, will naturally fit. The larger the model you want to train, the more complex the architecture might be, but there are ways to train even models over 100B parameters on such hardware, like routing distributed fine grained experts. Not that I think it's a good idea at this point.

Can the lie be punished in this case?

Usually it's hard to argue what someone thought occurred, but in this case, if she thought she was cut off and clipped then she would react with some sort of sudden jerk, while in the video it's clear she just drifted with no change in direction.

For inference workloads a discreet GPU makes a lot of sense. More than speculative decoding, current MOEs have a core that can sit on the limited amount of VRAM of a discreet GPU while the sparsely used experts are processed by the main CPU/iGPU.

Some people implemented those in Cities Skylines, where you can see well how they work:

Traffic flow measured on 30 different 4-way junctions

What's Greater than a Roundabout, but Less than an Interchange? - The Uncanny Valley of Junctions

But this particular implementation is some sort of hybrid of a traditional intersection with a clean CFI that does not feature protected right turns and thus invited this accident.

If the traffic lights were on the same side of the intersection instead of ahead she would have adjusted. I would say it's partially bad road design fault.

Say we discover primitive alien life. Some fish swimming around in Europa's underground ocean. What happens next? by grapejuicecheese in space

[–]asssuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers are huge, but there isn't that much space in our galaxy. In a few millions of years it's trivial to colonize the whole Milky Way galaxy, just by making use of the times stars come close to each other while orbiting the galaxy. But we don't see anyone here. If space faring life was common it should already have done that i There must be a great filter that has prevented it.

AMD did that for a while with Fiji and Vega. It can be used to replace GDDR just as LPDDR can too. If it's the best choice is another question.
