I strongly believe all people are equal, and we should not apply different ethics based on national borders, race, sex, etc. They should be able to come work any jobs, and be treated the same as citizens.

Given $$$$ that might actually be reasonably possible to do if you can get a good enough model of the chassis.

Yeah the “brassing” is really cool

They can pay them less, treat them worse, then if there are any issues, deport them. It's very gross.

That’s more for comfort than anything I would think, a modern cruise ship can easily take pretty insane storms? They have active stabilization systems and huge amounts of mass while still powered by relatively strong engines?

Foveon while a good idea, is extremely complicated to get right from what I understand.

I imagine that different silicon fabs or even different runs of the same fab have slightly different absorption on each focal plan in the sensor and calibrating that at high quality is tricky? Can you even do BSI? I have no idea

> Does it still clog up?

Yes, even very high end printers like an Epson p5370 - https://luminous-landscape.com/the-epson-sc-p5370-printer/ "The printhead is the same relatively maintenance-light device that P900 owners (and predecessor P3880/3800 owners) really appreciate. These heads don’t clog much unless you leave the printer idle over long intervals and/or sit the printer in a very dry environment."

> Has printing quality improved?

Depends on the printer? A professional inkjet is extremely high quality these days.

>Or are they still a bag of hurt we should all just hope for better and cheaper colour laser / LED printer.

In a distant past I was tech support help desk person, which included poking the many color laser printers we had. They also actually broke all the time :(

New Foveon is a long ways away still, they basically scraped what they had -

“But there are — to be honest, the project has been a little bit delayed… because every time we run the wafer and get the prototype sensor, we found some technical issues because we have never designed a sensor by ourselves."

Ever looked into digital backs? Basically what you are describing. Sometimes minus battery - the (old) mega vision backs are just a sensor, FPGA, and firewire cable out to a host!

So basically anyone who used this CA is screwed if someone knows your email?

Tangential but people might think it's neat - there's reusable indium pads for replacing thermal paste - https://www.indium.com/products/thermal-interface-materials/...

They are used on the Supermicro Power9 platform weirdly.

We did a little demo/have a patent for a similar idea using idle GPUs on Mercedes vehicles once upon a time - https://patents.google.com/patent/US20230281046A1/en

> BitNet 2B model running on FPGA Very cool! What kind of FPGA & What kind of TPS are you hitting?

It was really something to be able to go in and interact with systems from decades ago. Huge loss that it was closed.

Ah, I always wondered how Vancouver Island came to be - a fight between Stephenson and Gibson makes perfect sense.

Sadly the $ per byte of xSPI and HyperRAM quite high

Plenty of experience ;)

I’ve observed exactly these patterns with Opus and Fable as well - for example, forgetting that they can edit files and instead use python scripts as a patching tool…

Downside of the MTIA chips is no open backend - so quite a lift to get them working if possible at all :(

Most people do not support the destruction of books - it seems like the issue in both cases is copyright forcing the destruction and non-release of the scan.

Very much my own opinion, but this continues comma’s extremely cavalier attitude towards safety. PCIe connectors and GPUs are not vibration rated. What happens when you hit a bad pothole?

Unified memory DGX Spark and RTX Spark laptops are already a thing :)

Nemotron 3 also introduced LatentMoE, which was adopted by Kimi K3 :)

The experience I was referencing was actually Microsoft!

Counterpoint to many responses here - when I have interviewed people, it’s a really positive signal if the candidate says they have already seen a problem- the we can move onto something more interesting! Not solving does not mean failure either. As a candidate myself I always mention if I have seen similar problems, such as finding primes - real example, and I was hired on that loop at Microsoft!

On the other hand, if I heard that a candidate had not mentioned they had the same question twice, or later let it be known they already knew the answer, I would lose a lot of trust in them.

Be honest; it’s more likely you will be hired by honest people.

MLOps though typically wouldn't been going quantization? It requires some careful testing of accuracy and performance even today.

Applied ML Research Engineer or something maybe, not that I have ever seen that title. Maybe just catchall ML Engineer...

"The internet" is currently fine, besides Norwegian government services.

Also something designed to withstand something does not imply it survives other somethings.

Capture One in my opinion has much higher output quality, better defaults, and specifically for supports Phase One backs better than anything else. I have not done a scientific study or anything comparing the outputs (maybe I should!), but it’s just really good at producing gorgeous photos.

Media management though is IMO much worse than Lightroom? No keyword search, the catalog gets extremely slow over 10k images, and no filters for different cameras or lenses, as far as I know. I use peakto instead to manage and search my 40k RAWs then open them for editing only in C1.

It’s absolutely wild how Jimothy has taken over the internet. This is easily the most media attention anyone/anything from Ballard has ever gotten.

Also; Free Ballard! End the century of Seattle tyranny! https://www.seattle.gov/city-archives/exhibits-and-education... (JK, mostly)
