No, it’s a Current Biology article, a good journal from the Cell Press family of journals, but not quite Cell.

Ah, thanks for explaining!

What do you mean with "pay the $50"?

Also, does anybody know what limits o3-pro has under the team plan? I don't see it available in the model picker at all (on team).

Ghostty is great and all but is there an open source alternative to Termius? Termius is great but the subscription model and the pricing are extortionate.

Basic functionality I’m looking for: 1) setting up ssh profiles for specific ssh devices (I don’t want to remember specific ssh IPs, I just want to click on the device profile and run the ssh command.) optimally, this would be synced to the cloud/my other devices p2p so they all maintain the same list of ssh servers I need to access. Even better, each profile should have a settable theme. 2) supports MacOS, optimally cross-platform, looks native, fast 3) easy access to the local terminal and serial terminal, when needed

I don’t completely disagree with the physics part but the brain part doesn’t make sense to me (as someone in the field). Quantum effects average out on a scale much smaller than a cup, that’s why Newtonian mechanics have been so successful in (mostly) describing the world we actually live in.

Even if picking up a cup technically involves collapsing the superposition of an uncountable number of particles/waves in the object, this is a completely unnecessary computation that’s definitely not implemented in the brain. Going with this line of reasoning, does each object pick up also involve quantum calculations of positions of your fingers, your arm, your trunk, the nerves connecting your arm to your brain? Does each neuron perform quantum computations to determine the position of each connected neuron and every surrounding ion that will drive its action potentials? This wouldn’t make sense and has no basis in reality. How many times do we try to use our hand and the quantum calculations in the brain determine that the hand is in some unexpected position? The neurons are either connected to each other and the arm is attached, and in a predictable position to your body, as is the cup, or things wouldn’t work at all and the entire build of our body would be an evolutionary failure, not the blueprint for the only kind of life we’ve been able to observe in the universe. If position of large objects and parts of your body was uncertain, no amount of quantum computation in the brain could correct for it, so why waste the energy of even doing it?

Thankfully, we have a pretty good understanding of the neural computations behind picking up cups correctly and we were able to design simple electronic circuits and programs involving absolutely no quantum effects that are easily able to pick up cups and move around our world. On a scale we exist in, we don’t manipulate probabilities, we manipulate objects with fixed physical positions and forms, because our biological machinery enables nothing else.

Respectfully, I feel like your line of thinking goes down a misguided path where a QM “observer” is equated to a conscious being, somehow isolated (or even deliberately harnessing) from the effects you propose drive every aspect of the universe. In actuality, an observation is just a particle/wave interaction, as relevant for particles arranged into non-living objects, as for those temporarily special arrangements we would call life.

Have you heard of insulation?

Theoretically, 18A is great and should be competitive with the N2 processes from TSMC which are ramping up next year. I would love to see it succeed. The worry is that Intel will get stuck in another 10nm/Intel 7 quagmire and we'll be talking about 15A or some other process in 2 years that will finally be the process Intel needs to take the lead after the 18A failure.

Pat's firing certainly doesn't inspire confidence for an external observer.

Yes, Intel should've never allowed itself to fall so far behind the competition in the GPU space. It's never too late, but at this point this would be financially risky and would require an enormous resource investment concentrated on both gaming and compute, while possibly never paying off. As you mention, AMD is struggling against Nvidia too, and their GPU tech is solid. A viable strategy for Intel would probably require selling at cost or even at a loss, while offering significantly better specs (more VRAM than competition seems like a viable path right now, but the AI bubble might not last).

However, I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole Arc effort killed off before another year passes, in line with Intel's absolute inability to stay committed to a product line. There's probably a reason why discrete Arc only appeared once Pat was in charge and I wouldn't be surprised to see it gone with his departure.

I liked Pat and I think he should've been given a longer leash, but I feel the commenters here have been looking at the situation through rose tinted lenses, probably because Pat's PR very effectively presented him as an engineer and not a bean counter. In reality, his tenure was filled with disasters and not much measureable upside:

1) while expected, the process node issues haven't been resolved. Instead Intel had to rely on TSMC to push out a semi-competive mobile platform. 18a and other processes have been delayed and 20a outright cancelled under the guise of rapid 18a progress (how rapid can the progress be, when 18a was just delayed again?). And this is just what we know externally, the board must have much better info anyway. A far cry from the promised "5 nodes in 4 years" and more than remeniscent of the situation in the decade+ before.

2) Pat single handedly directly harmed Intel's bottom line on almost day 1 by trash talking Taiwan and partner TSMC (which was supposed to be their lifeline to gain access to competitive process nodes) in a tactless attempt to attract US government support. This resulted in TSMC cancelling the massive ~40% wafer discount for Intel's chips.

3) in line with his Larabee lineage, Pat invested significant resources into Gaudi AI accelerators and Arc discrete GPUs. Both uncompetitive, released borderline unusable with pathetic software support and on the verge of cancellation from day 1, which killed what little enthusiasm they might attract. Even the much smaller (employee # wise) AMD has been able to push out serviceable AI/GPU software and competitive DC cards for training and has been riding the AI wave on Nvidia's coattails; Intel just looks completely lost.

4) arrow lake, released years into his tenure, is characteristaly delayed, overpriced and uncompetitive. Software issues pushed the needle for the launch towards disaster.

5) raptor lake instability/degradation scandal and months long lies and embarrassing messaging from Intel's side making people literally avoid buying Intel CPUs

6) Epyc Turin just annihilated the most recent Xeon gen, making Intel further uncompetitive for DC/HPC on the CPU side for at least another year, but probably more.

7) lack of any timely decisive and proactive moves which Intel desperately needs. I can't identify a single area where Pat pushed hard and fought against the inertia. He might've been more honest about Intel's financial woes (through his unnecessary constant presence on business news channels), but if the situation was so bad, why did he do nothing but complain? Why did it take so long for him to cut the dividend or lay people off? If he cut the dividend on day 1 and made Arc his Manhattan project, he would be much more palatable, even if the project missed the AI wave. Instead, he seemed to spend time clamoring for political attention while projecting the exact image of Intel in 2010s: excuses, delays, and underwhelming products.

In totality, whatever Pat's been doing hasn't resulted in any real, tangible results. If anything, Intel's disasters have accelerated in frequency and scale under his helm and they've been losing ground at an accelerated rate everywhere, possible unrecoverably (mobile, graphics, desktop, DC/HPC). Of course, turning Intel around is a massive undertaking and as always, there have been glimpses of promise and innovation. But it doesn't feel fair to cherry pick the rare positives from the sea of negatives and assign them to Pat. Still, it's completely possible that the results of his work were just not seen yet and he should've been given more time - at this point, we'll never know.

I completely disagree. Ukrainian war effort is primarily driven by the desire of majority of Ukrainian population to keep their independence and align with the western democratic sphere. It is, effectively, a drawn out war for independence dragging out for over 2 decades, which only became "hot" with the Russian invasions 10 and 3 years ago, the latter of which was aimed at outright annexation of the entire Ukrainian state. Majority of European countries in existence today are nation states, many not even of a few decades old, created through the will of their populations to shed blood for their independence. One would have to be shockingly ignorant to conclude that people wouldn't fight for for their state since they would "keep living largely the same lives as before", when recent wars in the Balkans closely mirror the Ukrainian conflict and yet resulted in 7 independent states, many of which received paltry, or no foreign support during their struggle for independence. Such mentality might've been prevalent in the middle ages, but has certainly been erased by 1848.

Remember that the Russian aggression effectively started a decade ago after several successive country-wide popular uprisings in Ukraine which, despite violent crackdowns, strived for and put the country on the path towards democracy, westernization and reduction of oligarchic and Russian influence. Without wide popular support, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a large proportion of the population involved in the war effort would be just as, if not more, likely to turn on their own government. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what the Russians expected on the eve of their invasion, when the Ukrainian state was supposed to fold as a stack of cards and the Ukrainian people were supposed to accept their "liberators" without a hitch. Instead, Russia was instantly bogged down and pushed back by a determined popular resistance and a massive popular mobilization and the Ukrainian people are determined to keep fighting even after massive destruction of their infrastructure and hundreds of thousands of casualties.

Of course, the reasons for the foreign involvement in the war have much more ominous undertones and, especially in the case of the US, geopolitics are a major factor. However, one would have to be extremely misguided to pretend that motivations of the amorphous US political apparatus reflect the motivations of the Ukrainian (or even American) people in any way.

Lisa Feldman-Barrett is a hack who thinly veils her inability to conduct robust emotion research by almost exclusively presenting her flawed ideas in pop-sci books aimed at the general public and people outside the emotion field. While she certainly likes to present herself as on authority in emotion research, she has in actuality disproven nothing. Instead, her major contribution is endless philosophizing based on incredibly weak cherry picked psychology experiments mostly conducted by other researchers (which, disappointingly, seems to have grown some roots in the public psyche).

In the meantime, research into the neuroscience of affect is booming, with animal experiments starting to uncover the mechanistic basis of emotion and expression, including discovering both in mice and other animals - certainly without requiring language, culture or any construction whatsoever.

Yes, many. At this point you should be asking the question whether there's ever a reason to choose tensorflow at all.

What?

You seem to be very much out of date with the current state of Windows.

tabs in file browser >built in for the last 2 years, tabs can be rearranged, moved between explorer windows, etc.

fast and modern terminal >windows terminal (released 2019 and built in by default) is one of the best terminal apps on any platform. Tabs, GPU acceleration, fonts, seamless multishell support (including Linux shells local - WSL - or remote)

*maintained application repositories > winget (released 2020 and built in by default) repository is now the backend of windows store and can maintain externally installed software, just run ‘winget upgrade —-all’ in your shell of choice

Also, you can now install any linux distro you want with a single click using WSL, with full x11 and Wayland support. If there’s a Linux app you prefer, you can use it seamlessly. You can even run a full desktop. I’d almost go as far as to say that nvidia hardware is supported better through WSL, where latest drivers “just work” and I’ve never experienced things breaking, than on baremetal Linux (although that says more about nvidia than any platform).
