GPT-J 6B on GPUs (through HuggingFace PR)
Hi all,

I've created a Jupyter notebook with everything you need to convert+run GPT J from Jax over to work with the new HuggingFace PR for GPT J. I've also got the model working on our production environment that you can play around with/use in production here:

https://hub.getneuro.ai/model/nlp/gpt-j-6B-text-generation

Average inference speed is surprisingly fast running on our T4s, around 5s for 50 tokens. Will be trying with a V100, and Quadro 8000 (full precision model) tomorrow. To fit the model on GPUs that are sub ~24GB the model in the demo and notebook are half precision in torch. This was kinda painful to get working, so hopefully you find it useful.

That does make sense to an extent. The average listener today is more likely to think of cheesy 80s synthy jazz fusion when they hear of the term, rather than something like Bitches Brew.
I sure as hell don't play those. Not these either.

Most if not all responses here appear to target Matthias, however, it seems to me that author is also blaming Racket community for witnessing first hand the bullying and doing nothing. Tolerating Matthias alleged behavior is in a way condoning his abusive streak.

Chickens want things. They want to walk around the scratch the ground. If you make a noise they'll run away from you - they dont want to get eaten by a fox.

Your comment about microorganisms is about 'where to draw the line' and your comment about 'tend to infinity' implies you like the 'appeal to extremes' form of argument.

I'm interested in what we're doing in the world now and I'm happy to suggest where a line should be drawn. I'm not worried about absolutes.
NodeJS did something a lot like this by having packages that are just short snippets, but half the ecosystem flipped out when someone messed up `leftpad`.
The loop by itself isn't entirely clear on what it's doing. Stuff like the direction of the > comparison and what to do vs. >= and the byteCount / magnitudes[i] at the end really do require you to pause & do mental analysis to check correctness. I think the real solution here is to define an integer log (ilog()?) function based on division and use that in the same manner as the log(). That way you only do do the analysis the first time you write that function, and after that you just call the function knowing that it's correct.
Maybe someone should start an early-stage investment group that aims to teach founders these ropes. It would be a startup that recursively creates startups.

In computer science terms, you might think of it like a Y Combinator.

It's not even unique to IT/software; my ex-girlfriend was a vet an she just googles things as well. Turns out there are lots of veterinary procedures on YouTube for example, and for some of the rarer chirurgies and such you need to do it's pretty useful.
> I wrote almost a decade ago was found to be the most copied snippet on Stack Overflow. Ironically it happens to be buggy.

I don’t find it ironic, I find it quite normal that even small snippets of code contains bugs (given the daily review requests I receive).

I think when copying code literally from StackOverflow what’s more important is understanding what the code does, and why , rather than copying it ad-verbatim by copy & pasting it into your production code.

I also often find on StackExchange et al that quite often the most upvoted is the one that ‘fixes it’ for ‘most people’ yet the correct answer is down at number 3 or 4. Again, understanding the answer and why it applies, helps give you the context to understand if this is actually the solution to your problem or just treats the symptom.

I completely agree that the latest generation is much better than previous tech.

I'm referring to the fact that 3D will always inherently have a floor of non-acclimatable users that TV doesn't. People experience motion sickness from TV also, but it can be mitigated by sitting further back. There's fundamentally no similar option in VR if the immersion alone is disorienting; the immersion is the point.
The author is telling you how to make money. There is nothing immature about making money.

There is an interesting tangential public policy issue about how to limit societal damage from people taking advantage of others, but that is not the point of the article.
> 30 year war

Hmm yes that's a time the catholics created that most don't agree with. It's widely considered a time when evil ruled the religions. And biblically there will be religions that do not follow what is preached. Which is what I said. Nowhere in Catholicism or Christianity does it preach hate or war. Now how people interpret things are up to them.

> Ahlam Tamimi bombing

This would be that one religion preaching that if people don't convert, kill them.

> wars of suppression against Bön

I have not read the Bonop canon, so can't speak for this. This could either be a group not listening to their faith, or yet another preaching hate.
They all sound like imitators(not really) because most of them played on the Bitches Brew record. At least Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, John McLaughlin. :)
Raspberry pi's actually don't come with cables- so you'd just buy the right cable when you pick it up. And my low-end printer from 6 years ago is wireless.
This is a flaw that has been present in iMacs for a long time: there are no easily accessible ports of any kind. Having to use a hub with something that is supposed to be an all-in-one desktop feels like a category error. The chin would be a perfect place for a few ports, but Apple design is very much form over function.
1) It's not a manifesto.

2) Damore's memo does cite scientific research

3) at least some experts in the fields of psychometrics and sex differences believed the memo to be substantively correct

4) Trying to get someone fired for holding beliefs that are well within the scientific mainstream is the antithesis of a good academic environment.
Meta-metascience has been studied _extensively_ by previous generations, where what this generation calls "science" was called "natural philosophy" and interesting discourse and study was had on such things as:

* The study of knowledge (epistemology): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology

* The study of existence and what exists (ontology): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology

* The study of the purpose of things (teleology): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleology

It turns out that these are hard areas of study and it requires a lot of properly focused leisure time to understand properly. Most people don't consider these things, wing it, and wind up working with a half-baked meta-meta science of their own creation ... oh, I see what you mean :-D

It isn't irrelevant in the context; by saying that they are only in range under 'perfect conditions' he makes it sound like the operation was barely doable.

This is misleading. Air operations in WWII where continuously dependent on weather conditions and the wind conditions make a large difference to the payload a piston powered aircraft of that era can carry. The B-29 was specifically designed to accomplish the strategic bombing mission in a pacific war; it would not have been accepted into production if it could not reach Japan from the Marianas Islands. In fact, it could comfortably reach the vast majority of Japan and its industrial centers, only the north of japan was outside of its normal range.

The removal of most self-defense weaponry (except the tail cannon) made the entirety of Japan reachable; they simply weren't needed for night operations and Japan's fighter force was negligible by the end of the war. In fact, future b-29's were built with only a tail cannon in the first place.

Some key things for me would be the ideas that:

1. There is no such thing as objectivity in inquiry. There is always a scientist interpreting things, and they are always looking at things through the lens of their own biases and cultural norms. The best you can hope to do is to be aware of your limitations.

1. Statistical evidence on its own is not always a good basis for believing something to be true. Typically you also want a good theoretical model, and an understanding of the mechanism that underlies the observed phenomena (physics is good at this, psychology not so much).

3. That there is more knowledge than is detectable through statistical methods (currently at least). And that lack of evidence from statistical studies does not necessarily constitute good evidence that a theory is false.
Hidden in here is the “reasonable default” change for meetings from 1 hour to 30 minutes.

If you havent already done so, go and change your entire organizations default meeting length to 30 minutes. Force people to justify why they need an hour. Still not sure why it isnt the default.
I think the issue here is skilled developers can build this themselves and the product doesn't appeal to non technical folks. so it's kind of in no man's land.
Ah, apologies for the misinformation. I had tried to find information on Dobson's academic background and came up blank, so I assumed they weren't in academia (and, thus, no direct connection to Felleisen). Thank you for the correction!
It's an old article, so did they continue it?

We see reports like this all the time but barely any companies actually have the balls to go through with it long term.

So you can hook it to a Mac Pro or a Mini and get a nice matching display without going into Pro Display XDR territory (Price is a little steep, plus most folks don't really need color calibration anyways).
The thing that jumped out at me, as I've seen the same kind of thing on the job, is the assumption that, eg, log(1000)/log(10) is exactly 3. Does the standard guarantee that the rounded approximation of one transcendental number by the rounded approximation of a related transcendental number will give 3.0 and not 2.999999999?

I'm not sure I understand this, why would walkable places be expensive? Walkable places are generally high density which means that buildings are bigger and homes are smaller so prices should be lower.

>It's based on the flawed assumption that consumption is automatically good and savings is automatically bad.

There is no such assumption. We have interest rates that moderate the imbalance between saving and investing. Low interest rates indicate a lack of investments. If there were investments, companies would scoop up 0% interest loans until rates must rise again.

If there were too many investments interest rates have to cut funding for the least worthwhile investments.

>Saving money is investing it

As I said above, the interest rates indicate otherwise. 0% interest rates only happen because people aren't investing the savings.

>That could be via stocks, bonds, bank deposits (which get loaned out), etc.

Those are not savings.

>I have yet to see a single compelling argument as to why an arbitrary 2% target is superior to say just a 0% target.

Because people age and die. Gold is just a shiny token representing an imagined ledger. If you have gold from 1000 years ago someone in 2021 owes you a debt. For the sake of the argument lets say the economy today was still the same as 1000 years ago. You decide to "save" your gold and spend it 1000 years later via a time machine. The person that owes you one ounce worth of work is long dead and he stayed unemployed for a month because of you. The physical asset that is represented by the ledger is gone but there are still workers alive in 2021. Even though they have nothing to do with the old dude 1000 years ago, they are the ones who owe you a debt now.

It's absurd. One month of work was lost to unemployment but gold is supposed to keep its value by demanding one month of work from an unrelated person.
>Children can't drive, which means unless you're lucky enough to live very close to your friends, and ideally on the same side of the street, your home is effectively your prison in the US and Canada.

The issue is not with individuals keeping track of relationships and their contact lists. It's with how that information is further used, shared and sold. I wouldn't be pleased if a friend whom I trusted with my contact information shared it with others without my consent, and I would be very displeased if it ended up on Facebook[1].

PII is very valuable to advertisers (or to adtech as I recently learned[2]) as it allows them to target individuals based on interest. Beyond the fact that I don't enjoy being forced into complicitness to being manipulated into purchasing a product, I strongly object to having a profile in some mega-corp's database that has my personal information I didn't agree to share with them, for them to disect, analyze and sell in perpetuity, and to wonder how future advancements in adtech might use this data in less benign ways than today.

At the very least, I would like a share of the profits they're making from me. Facebook and Google should be paying users to use their products, or everyone on the internet rather, but I don't think their shareholders would like that very much.

"Imitators" might not be the best word, but judging from these musicians’ recordings as leader or sideman to others up to about 1970, which are generally in a much more traditional postbop vein, they might not have made the leap to fusion had it not been for Miles’ late 1960s albums already opening up a new genre gradually and then IASW and Bitches Brew throwing the doors wide open.
I will note that if you tell people "The market of a thing essentially entirely controlled by human behavior will do X in response to highly predictable events, like new moons" is potentially self fulfilling prophecy. If large numbers of people believe that and act in response to that prediction, it can cause dips (or whatever).

For that and other reasons, this really isn't HN worthy.
> The more nodes you have participating the more secure an onion system tends to be.

Tor isn't very large as it is, and (I would guess) it's the largest. If another onion routing network didn't grow the audience, you would have two even smaller networks.

> the Tor network can carry most kinds of traffic

Isn't Tor limited to routing TCP? That would rule out QUIC, for example.
> almost no branches

I wonder whether the author is suggesting that (potentially) nine branches is a small number, or they overlooked ternary expressions and function calls and are just counting the if statement.
>they can't afford to not eat meat protein, and even if there is some (probably imaginary) way for them to do that, it requires a disproportionate amount of effort for them to do so.

Didn't know eating beans instead of meat for protein was a disproportionate amount of effort. It's even cheaper to boot. Those people are not invalids, they just don't care about the lives of farm animals. They may say they do, but their actions prove otherwise.
It's the same in Parts of Asia: bikes and scooters can go in the dedicated non-car lane. Sometimes you'll see a hand or bike pulled cart as well. Still safer than comingling with cars.
> the reason these territories respected the metropoles laws is because they were aware if they didn’t the metropole had the resources to overrun them if they were upset enough

I don't think that's true, since, as godelski points out, in a salient historical case where the colonies did not respect the home empire's laws--the United States of America--the home empire did not have the resources to overrun them. The British ended up learning similar lessons in South Africa and India later on.

I think the main reason colonial governments respected the home empire's laws is that the territorial governors and their personnel were loyal to the empire; they believed in the empire and its aims. When that loyalty goes away, as it did in the USA, the home empire can't do much about it.

> The same will be true of any off world colony for the foreseeable future.

You must be joking. If the British empire was unable to enforce its will on the United States, with only an ocean separating them, how could an Earth empire possibly enforce its will on a Mars colony, with tens of millions of miles of space separating them?

> Not sure how AWS squares that circle unless they outsource their data centers in China to a third party that can then expose the keys for China to use.

If you check something like the Public Suffix List [1], you will notice that Amazon maintains separate com.cn domains for several of its services in China. Amazon doesn't appear to do that for any other country. It follows that AWS in China might well be isolated from AWS elsewhere.

> That truth can be expressed numerically

I don't think this is what is held by those-who-do-science-and-philosophy-at-large (though it may be a generally accepted hand-wave, I don't know). See, for example Category Theory for a branch of what-I-believe-would-generally-be-called-science that doesn't use numbers, but instead expresses things with sets and relations.

The logician is the intersection of the set of all scientists and the set of all philosophers.
I don’t know if you can call those guys imitators - Herbie, McLaughlin and Zawinul all played on Bitches Brew. It was a seminal “fusion” record for sure and the school of Miles without a doubt left a lasting impression on all of them, but all those groups sound pretty different to me.

I love hearing John McLaughlin tell Miles stories - he has so much respect and gratitude for him.

BB, In a Silent Way and Kind of Blue are probably my favourite Miles records, he really managed to reinvent the art form more times than many other people I can think of

So it's not flawed (it does compute the correct result).

The author just thinks a completely unreadable (but supposedly faster) variant using logarithms is "better" than the simple loop used in the original snippet?

But to quote Wikipedia, "In 2020 twenty-nine Nobel laureates described the actions taken by Chevron against Donziger as "judicial harassment" and human rights campaigners have described Chevron's actions as an example of a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP).[1] In April 2021, six members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus demanded that the Department of Justice review Donziger's case.[2]"

So, I'm pretty sure the headline is properly editorialized: Chevron got a Judge to put a lawyer under house arrest for continuing to legally fight Chevron in his capacity as a lawyer.
