There used to be a few old ones in the day that I recall trying which were a bit more direct simulacrums than these. Not sure if anyone else might find them!

There’s a not insignificant intersection of projects and developers who might be using both LoRA and LoRa at the same time. What a terrible name collision. Hopefully this doesn’t become one of the foundational terms in AI that everyone must use frequently like “Transformer”.

I have a friend who went through almost exactly the same driving event as this guy. Hit a man wearing all black on a country road at 1AM. Could have driven away but called 911, rendered first aid, and stayed through the ordeal. He also ended up spending several years in US prison for it.

Really fucked up.

You’d need to recompile the binary to take advantage of new instructions.

The compiler alone, but also the code, can create branches where the binary checks if certain instructions are available and if they are not, use a less optimal operation.

Backwards compatibility for modern binaries basically. But not forward ability to see the future instructions that haven’t been invented yet.

Not all binaries are fully backwards compatible. If you’re missing AVX, a surprising number of games won’t run. Sometimes only because the launcher won’t run, even though the game plays without AVX.

It’s reasonably easy to build a threadripper workstation with 1TB of RAM (upgrade able to 2TB) and 2 3090’s for $20,000.

LambdaLabs will even sell you a prebuilt around that price with the same specs.

That said, I wouldn’t personally get into a pissing match over x86 Apples. I think their ARM offerings are far more interesting.

Probably has to do with precise definitions of "non farm", "farmer", "farming" and "agricultural".

BLS has this showing 2.3 million people working in agriculture: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat15.htm

And this showing there are 900,000 jobs for "Agricultural worker" https://www.bls.gov/ooh/farming-fishing-and-forestry/mobile/...

Clearly the terms "Employed persons in agriculture industries" and "agricultural workers" have definitions that diverge much, much more than I would have thought as a layperson.

I wonder what the largest private employers as % of total labor force have been throughout history.

We currently have a labor force of ~160 million people and Walmart employs "1 out of every 72 American workers" or ~1.3%

These are the kind of comments that make me click through to the "favorite" feature in HN so that I can find them for reference later. Thanks for your effort to share this.
