CPU Utilization is Wrong (2017)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 00:06:39

The metric we all use for CPU utilization is deeply misleading, and getting worse every year. What is CPU utilization? How busy your processors are? No, that's not what it measures. Yes, I'm talking about the "%CPU" metric used everywhere, by everyone. In every performance monitoring product. In top(1). What you may think 90% CPU utilization means: What it might really mean: Stalled means the processor was not making forward progress with instructions, and usually happens because it is waitin

Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference

news.ycombinator.com Horace He In Collaboration With Others At Thinking Machines 2025-10-07 09:26:08

Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from a language model involves “sampling”, a process that converts the language model’s output into a probability distribution and probabilistically selects a token.

In the early days of the smartphone, Apple had a strong lead with the camera on the iPhone consistently besting its peers. There was a period somewhere in the middle where it lagged, but over the last several years, it has produced some of the best mobile cameras on the market, and it still delivers one of the best video capture experiences—even for aspiring filmmakers.

Microsoft’s AI Chief Says Machine Consciousness Is an 'Illusion'

Mustafa Suleyman is not your average big tech executive. He dropped out of Oxford university as an undergrad to create the Muslim Youth Helpline, before teaming up with friends to cofound DeepMind, a company that blazed a trail in building game-playing AI systems before being acquired by Google in 2014. Suleyman left Google in 2022 to commercialize large language models (LLMs) and build empathetic chatbot assistants with a startup called Inflection. He then joined Microsoft as its first CEO of

Bluesky is expanding its age verification features stateside. The service will require users in South Dakota and Wyoming to verify their ages in order to access direct messaging and adult content on the site.

Back in August 2023, attackers tied to the Scattered Spider group didn’t exploit a zero-day vulnerability to hack Clorox. They simply called the service desk (run by Cognizant), claimed to be locked-out employees, and asked for password and MFA resets. According to court filings and reporting, the attacker repeatedly phoned Cognizant’s service desk, obtained repeated resets without meaningful verification, and used the resulting access to move quickly toward domain-admin footholds.

If the AI Industry Fails, It Could Take the Rest of Us Down With It

Don't let AI critics tell you it's good for nothing: the amount of money being spent on AI infrastructure is so enormous that it’s literally propping up the US economy. The drawback, of course, is that if the AI industry fails, it could drag the rest of the economy down with it.
