he does mention the 2 dust catchers and that you can vacuum them.

by the way, if you've seen console repairs - haven't done any myself since many years - you'll remember the huge amount of dust they suck in. Being able to vacuum that is a big big win for the longevity of the device

EDIT: just noticed at the end the disclaimer about the dust catcher :) I mean, they still need to be covered from a legal point of view

I had this discussion with Timo Schick, the first author, on Reddit. My final comment is copied below, with the relevant context.

Note that GPT-3's approach to *GLUE involved no training on the task, just a good choice of prompt, whereas PET and iPET also use fine-tuning. Also, because distillation takes large amounts of training data, they use ensembles in the true few-shot regime, so their parameter efficiency is significantly worse than they advertise.

Timo Schick:

Finally, I do not really agree with your last two paragraphs, especially "One is about semi-supervised learning, that says by exploiting task-specific architectures you can do fairly well with low amounts of labelled data.": If you leave out the final distillation step (which is not required for good performance), we use the exact same architecture for all tasks. In what sense is this more task-specific than GPT-3? I would not consider "exploiting task-specific architectures" to be a (fundamental) part of the paper.

My reply:

So what I mean here is that masked training and bidirectional transformer models like BERT have always been designed as a way to get good scores in analysis tasks like Q&A, even if they are pretrained on general text, whereas unidirectional generative transformer models are now basically only relevant for generative tasks. You can say, well, both architectures can do both tasks, so is it really task specific?, but ultimately, yes, we've selected ALBERT because it's better for Q&A tasks, and we've selected unidirectional transformers in other things because they're better for generative tasks.

So I guess the problem I have is with the merits of your thesis, “Can we achieve similar few-shot performance to GPT-3 without requiring billions of parameters?” OpenAI didn't present few-shot learning as if it were an optimal method; their headline achievement was not “here's the best way to...” but “I bet you never expected that this could...”. And so while it's definitely true that a BERT-derived model will outperform a GPT-derived model even at lower parameter counts on these sort of tasks, nothing new or interesting is being said by it. Everyone already knows that a bidirectional GPT-3 would be better at Q&A, and so that's what a smaller bidirectional model should be competing against. GPT-3 is only interesting in this context because it's not the optimal model (or training routine).

So while it's also true that if your aim is SOTA in few-shot learning then you should definitely use a bidirectional transformer with all the new tricks, if your goal is to understand PET in a context that includes GPT-3, doing so merely makes it harder to see what's going on.
Yes I agree about the smoothness issues, however you can really improve things by adding the line `timeout 0` to your ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf to set the threshold to the lowest setting. The comments here are from the end of their example config https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures/blob/master/...:

###############################################################################
# You can set a timeout on gestures from start to end. The default is
# the value commented below. It can be any value in float secs >= 0.
# 0 = no timeout. E.g. set it to 2 secs with "timeout 2".
timeout 0
Your second point is saying the same thing that the article says. There's no "terrible physics" here.

Having used many non-Apple laptops, "industry standard" means complete and unmitigated garbage to me. "Industry standard" laptops are awful to use and only get better once you approach Apple's price range - at which point why give up your Mac?

No, really, does anyone actually enjoy using cheap laptops? The only use case I think they would excel at is as a thin client for VMWare/Cisco virtualization solutions, or as a barebones terminal for Linux distros (at which point anything with a keyboard works for you).

Anyways, if laptops do security the same way laptops do touchpads, I would not be excited to depend on that. At all.
If I understood correctly "Good economics for hard times", this statement is not correct:

I'm the the go-to guy at a small government agency for the overall network/system architecture. There are some technical & memory-related prereqs (i.e. I have a CS degree, and I'm not a dummy), but mainly I know our systems so well because I've worked actively on them for more than a decade.

It would probably take me a decade to build such a detailed mental model at another company or agency. And that's even assuming I could get hired. One consequence of working on an idiosyncratic, one-off architecture is that my mainstream tech skills have atrophied significantly. I definitely could not pass a leet-code interview at a FAANG anymore.
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Isn't it the photograph that is flipped? After all if I'm in front of a mirror my left hand appears to the left and the right hand appears to the right. But on a photograph it's the opposite.
Roof blows off new Tesla Model Y
So after the teardown, my biggest takeaway is that at least 90% of the size of this chunky piece of hardware is because of cooling. The entire system fits on a single PCB board. The rest of the size of the internals are a massive cooling fan (about 30% of the overall console size) and a huge full-height-full-length heatsink.

I am assuming that the radial layout of the SSDs (which are hard soldered btw, so not user replaceable/upgradable like past models) and the RAM, must be for cooling purposes as well.

Overall the PCB is not very condense. Everything is quite spread out on it... again I assume for cooling. It looks like cooling is either a major concern for this device, or that Sony over-engineered its cooling in order to prevent problems.

(Edit: oh in my off the cuff estimation, I am also attributing the empty space in the case to cooling as well, since that is an intentional design choice by Sony and contributes to its airflow capability and cooling capability).
I agree - I struggle with this too. I'm not convinced that in 500 years, European DNA has made it into every. single. individual. in South America. Similarly, I struggle to accept that the same is true for some of the indigenous people of Australia, or other similarly remote tribes.

As a mathematical model, I don't doubt the assertion that it's possible one bit. But humans don't interbreed like that.

I think people here just have an aversion to (some* ) cutesy explanations of things that just confuse things.

The article itself concludes with: "The reality is that the mirror isn't flipping things horizontally or vertically at all" and you wonder what mental model it thought it was explaining in the first place.

* We never tire of cutesy useless explanations of monads though.
Can... Can we go do the same to Comcast? They fail to fulfill merger promises time and again.
> Hmmm. Just made me think that you probably couldn't explain that "paradox" to most 6yo who just about learned to tell left and right apart.

A typical 6-year old can say what their left-hand is. But if you tell them to point to MY left hand, they will instead point to my right hand. It takes additional effort and training to teach young children how to see from other people's perspective.
> It's all one group, so only the total number matters.

You're very alone in this line of thought.

If you save 100000 people _by murdering_ 5 people, it's unfortunate and a hard choice, but at least arguably good. Most people will be ok with this (this is pretty much how the world turns to some degree)

But if you save 100000 lives, then murder 5 victims. And those 5 victims were just murdered to murder tham, no one being saved was resting on it.

Most basically ethical people would consider that indefensible.

Maybe you're confusing this situation with the former, where lives are treated as fungible to save great numbers.

That can be tricky ethically, but at least the greater good is on your side. Here you're treating lives as fungible for the sake of it.

It's not really an admirable thing to lack the ability to see why that's wrong, so I implore you to dig a little deeper.

This isn't sacrificing people to help more people, it's helping people then sacrificing some people for fun.

If you talk someone down from a ledge do you now go around thinking you get to murder someone and it cancels out?

> If it was just marketing and looking cool that would be one thing. But it's also quite hard mentally to pay attention when everything is on auto. And it's a much nicer driving experience that's inherently dangerous no matter what the marketing says. So I don't think it's possible to have the convenience without the danger. You'd have to disable AP

This is literally what every comment in this entire thread by me has said. Maybe you finally get it.

Car without convenience features saves lives doesn't kill.

Car with them saves same lives and kills.

These people are experts at getting up to speed on diverse topics and have amazing teams clerking for them and a huge bench of experts to call on. I'm sure the domain-specific knowledge will be fine although the vested interests will clearly be a problem.

I have never been involved in a US Supreme Court case but back in 1999 or so I was asked to prep a barrister in the UK on the guts of TCP/IP. I literally jumped in a black cab at short notice with 6 or 7 volumes of W. Richard Stevens and spent an afternoon showing him and a few others from his chambers packet dumps and TCP state diagrams and drawing some diagrams of my own showing what a webserver, browser does, how caching works, etc. The next day using my information synthesized with some really archaic law about what is and isn't a document he issued his opinion about where particular actions occur (and therefore what legal jurisdictions apply) when someone does something on a website. It was extremely thoughtful and nuanced and literally a day earlier he didn't even know what a webpage was.
Do you mean that you believe Apple has active access to my hardware? Or do you mean that Apple has put a feature in my hardware that neither I nor anyone else can explicitly access without this hack?

Because I believe the latter is true, not the former, but I believe nearly every manufacturer of complicated electronics has put things into their products that I personally cannot explicitly access, so it doesn't bother me as much as it might bother you.
Truth wasn't murdered at all. Truth is Truth.

The problem is that the internet broke the newspapers and cable tv. The internet has been able to allow people to get to the truth. Look at that maga hat kid story; if this were 75 years ago. The newspapers would never have retracted. The change is that we can watch the whole thing and see how the media spun the story in a completely false way. As they have done for decades. The internet has ruined their long history of being able to spin stories. They know their enemy, it's the internet.

Facebook, twitter, insert social media here. That's their enemy and they'll do everything they can to vilify their new enemy. That means every group will be attacked as effectively as possible. If all they can do is label you a discriminator of some sort. they will do so. Just look at presidential debate. The proud boys, whose leader is a black man, were labelled white supremacists. Last I checked, white supremacists dont follow a black man as their lead.
That's strange, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on a MacBook Air, and I have no problems moving my cursor in a small circle around the "Y". Probably the only thing I do differently from the default is that I use Wayland instead of Xorg. I don't have any proprietary additional drivers installed.

I would've assumed this was a hardware issue - what else do we have set up differently?
In USSR it seems to me that "mobs installing an absence or impairment of a procedurally civil and democratic process" is an adequate description. Were Lenin/Stalin/Trotsky et al. oligarchs? Some politicians, in the USSR then in Russia, get rich this way, indeed, but are they the ultra-rich, and do they own a large fraction of the total wealth? I doubt so.

Same for China: Mao and his followers weren't rich, and AFAIK rich Chinese are indigent compared to Emperors and their family/suit, and not very politically powerful.

Juntas were composed of high-ranking military, who AFAIK weren't rich (most came from the middle-class) nor became so.

Tribalism isn't oligarchic.

The recent pertinent exception are banksters, however their power (albeit non-neglectable) seems rather limited and focused on some Western nations (the 'Old Core').
I love this idea. I own a couple of items on the list now (Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and Kitchenaid Mixer) and I can attest to their durability.

I think your idea of cost per month is good for things you use often. One thing I've been thinking about lately as I've undertaken a medium-sized kitchen renovation is the cost of ownership of tools. Since I'm not a professional I can't take a cost per month approach since I may not use the tool for many months at a time.

Instead I've been thinking about two things:

1. How many hours of operation can I get out of this tool? If I amortize those hours over my lifetime, will I ever have to buy the tool again? In this case a mid-range tool may be an A+ for me, but a B- for a professional.

2. What is the lifetime of a battery-powered version of the tool? I'm avoiding battery-powered tools (with a few exceptions, I'm looking at you power drill) because I'm concerned the batteries will fail before the tool does.

My ideal situation is that I buy these items once and never need to replace them. As an amateur, I should be able to do that without buying the most expensive tool. As a professional, I probably already have preferences and a strong opinion anyway.
I think I'd personally put the line a bit farther. If you distribute libreadline, that would be fine without GPLing the main program. If you make any check to verify that you are running a specific version of libreadline, then that is not fine, because you are preventing me from replacing it with a different version.
Makes sense, and the 10 cents in your above comment is literal with a keep-warm every minute? That's pretty solid!
The PS4 fans were quite loud as the games got more demanding.

I think they are cognizant of this going into this generation of consoles.

Possibly over compensating but personally prefer a larger console for a more quiet experience.

Just keep your eyes open, an idea will come. Usually it's a pain point for you that you could automate with a web app that provides you value. Most likely it will provide value to others as well.

Build a small version just for you to start, then validate with others being willing to pay for it and it providing them value. Then build it out in to a SaaS.

And this is generally true; for similarly age libraries, the one with better quality (accounting for docs as well!) is normally more popular. There are exceptions for sure, as recently popular dev's libraries become more popular because of how popular their author is, but I'd say in libraries that are 3-5+ years old this generally holds true
cooling is a big thing on consoles as the engineers need to account for a life in a not well cooled location (eg. cabinet, tv stand etc. Many consoles in the recent past has thermal issues
From that point of view over-engineering is the way to go for sure. I mean they used liquid metal, that is something you don't even see in normal PCs/laptops

EDIT: cooling (fan) noise also is something they seem to have tackled with this design

Gallium, indium and tin. People have been making their own liquid metal TIM at home. Playing with the ratio of the metals leads to different results in temperature and ease of application. Pretty cool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galinstan

Worth noting that it reacts chemically with other metals, including copper. It etches into the heatsink and processor heat spreader, so you might need to sand them down after prolonged use.

Still, it's the most effective thermal interface material so far.
Great idea, I will add this improvement to my backlog.

attempted to add an item. Here's my thoughts:

first, adding an item is a LOT of labor to enter data that's freely available from amazon's APIs for most products you're going to encounter.

not only would this be _much_ easier if you just allowed me to paste in an amazon link, or name that you searched for on amazon, you could also easily generate affiliate links and make money. I used _my_ affiliate link for the product link because... why wouldn't I? except now that i look at the products i see there aren't any links? Why wouldn't you offer links to go buy these things, doubly so when you could profit from it AND make life easier for users without costing them anything.

obviously there needs to be a fallback mechanism to handle things that aren't sold on amazon.

you ask for a weight in kg or lb, thus suggesting a desire to cater to international audiences but then you don't have a currency for price.

"BIFL Score" is something i can guess but is never actually defined. Don't make users think.

when i submit it asks for an email address, but you already HAVE my email address from when i signed in. You could just make this a checkbox "do you want to be notified when we add this?"

Some products seem to have multiple categories but i could only select one. These seem conceptually like tags so i don't know why it's a pull-down instead of a multi-select or some other multiple choice thing.

Why are the Indian consultancy stocks up today? Are they effectively a cost plus business model, and as the costs increase, so do their profits? Have they transitioned to a US based workforce? Do they expect that their existing H1B employees will remain unchanged, and provide them with a long term advantage as other growing competitors can no longer access the cheap labor? Are they expecting this legislation to be overruled by judges?
I hope it's over-engineered. That leaves room for experimentation, takes care of random heat-related issues.

I really like how easy it is to take the fan out. I bet we can get special fans soon after release.
