Why We Stopped Using the Mathematics That Works – Guy Freeman

Someone asked why decision theory stopped being widely used in AI. The answer involves ImageNet, academic departments, and the seductive power of not having to specify your objectives.

미화 논란에도…200억 들여 또 ‘박정희 역사관’ 짓는 구미시

경북 구미시가 200억원을 들여 박정희 전 대통령 역사자료관을 추가로 짓겠다고 나서 논란이 일고 있다. 9일 구미시 말을 들어보면, 구미시 상모동 박정희대통령 역사자료관 인근에 높이 3층, 800평 규모의 제2관 건립이 추진되고 있다. 예산은 시·도비를 합쳐 200억원

‘전략자원’ 확보인가, 환경 오염 ‘뇌관’인가…영월 상동광산 재가동 ‘논란’

폐광된 지 32년 지난 강원 영월 상동광산이 재가동을 앞두면서 환경오염을 우려하는 목소리가 커지고 있다. 상동광산 개발사인 ‘알몬티대한중석’은 3월 재가동을 목표로 관련 준비를 마쳤다고 최근 밝혔다. 텅스텐을 캐는 상동광산은 값싼 중국산에 밀려 1994년 문을 닫았다.

Unlocking Python's Cores: Hardware Usage and Energy Implications of Removing the GIL

Python's Global Interpreter Lock prevents execution on more than one CPU core at the same time, even when multiple threads are used. However, starting with Python 3.13 an experimental build allows disabling the GIL. While prior work has examined speedup implications of this disabling, the effects on energy consumption and hardware utilization have received less attention. This study measures execution time, CPU utilization, memory usage, and energy consumption using four workload categories: NumPy-based, sequential kernels, threaded numerical workloads, and threaded object workloads, comparing GIL and free-threaded builds of Python 3.14.2. The results highlight a trade-off. For parallelizable workloads operating on independent data, the free-threaded build reduces execution time by up to 4 times, with a proportional reduction in energy consumption, and effective multi-core utilization, at the cost of an increase in memory usage. In contrast, sequential workloads do not benefit from removing the GIL and instead show a 13-43% increase in energy consumption. Similarly, workloads where threads frequently access and modify the same objects show reduced improvements or even degradation due to lock contention. Across all workloads, energy consumption is proportional to execution time, indicating that disabling the GIL does not significantly affect power consumption, even when CPU utilization increases. When it comes to memory, the no-GIL build shows a general increase, more visible in virtual memory than in physical memory. This increase is primarily attributed to per-object locking, additional thread-safety mechanisms in the runtime, and the adoption of a new memory allocator. These findings suggest that Python's no-GIL build is not a universal improvement. Developers should evaluate whether their workload can effectively benefit from parallel execution before adoption.
