Open-Source ScalableViT Implementation
An open-source implementation of the ScalableViT: Rethinking the Context-oriented Generalization of Vision Transformer research paper in Google's JAX and Flax.

"The vanilla self-attention mechanism inherently relies on pre-defined and steadfast computational dimensions. Such inflexibility restricts it from possessing context-oriented generalization that can bring more contextual cues and global representations. To mitigate this issue, we propose a Scalable Self-Attention (SSA) mechanism that leverages two scaling factors to release dimensions of query, key, and value matrix while unbinding them with the input. This scalability fetches context-oriented generalization and enhances object sensitivity, which pushes the whole network into a more effective trade-off state between accuracy and cost. Furthermore, we propose an Interactive Window-based Self-Attention (IWSA), which establishes interaction between non-overlapping regions by re-merging independent value tokens and aggregating spatial information from adjacent windows. By stacking the SSA and IWSA alternately, the Scalable Vision Transformer (ScalableViT) achieves state-of-the-art performance in general-purpose vision tasks. For example, ScalableViT-S outperforms Twins-SVT-S by 1.4% and Swin-T by 1.8% on ImageNet-1K classification." - Rui Yang, Hailong Ma, Jie Wu, Yansong Tang, Xuefeng Xiao, Min Zheng, Xiu Li

I can't comment on what public school is like from the inside since I was lucky and my parents homeschooled me. But from the outside when talking to my friends it did indeed look like a form of child abuse. It's sad because, while you can opt out in theory the way my parents did, it requires a lot of sacrifice on the part of the parent.

Either you spend money on private schools if you can find one without the same pathologies as the public school or you have to give up one income in the family. Not everyone can afford to do that although it's easier than some people think. Public school is mostly subsidized child care for many so it's not easily changed and getting enough public funds to employ enough qualified people to reduce the worst pathologies to a manageable level is pretty expensive.
And I am to assume that these animals also do no form of weed killing?

Wow, CSM, that's a name I haven't thought of in a long time. Over a decade ago while I was still in college I worked for a local web dev shop and I worked on their website (csmonitor.com). I can barely remember what I was doing, minor UI stuff and I think maybe spinning up more sites in their "network". IIRC it was a WordPress multisite (if that's even the right name, back when the "multisite" was a plugin though I think there is some core support now? Not sure).

I knew absolutely nothing about them and more than once I took down parts of their live site by accident (back in the bad old days of FTP-ing files directly to the prod server, there was no "dev"/"qa"/etc). At some point along the way I read a little more about them and was pretty disgusted by it all. Thankfully that work didn't last for very long and I was moved to other projects.

To me, Review services need to be regulated like a credit bureau. Google, Yelp, Facebook, etc must:

* obtain opt-in consent from the person or business being reviewed

* they must have a dispute resolution process

* they must have a call-center with real live people to field complaints

The silicon valley business model of "absolutely 0 support offered" needs to die.
I've been pretty happy with Fantasque Sans Mono.
I didn’t get that impression. You’re not wrong that something can be justified “for the children” but have an ulterior motive. But I think what’s being argued is that the initial motive is actually honestly for the children and that that goal blinds people to the reality of how bad or pointless or even perversely harmful the proposed solution is.
For sure, leaky abstractions will get through; Rust has had quite a few issues LLVM (you mention one), but it's still a lot better than the all-in-one system we had before.

> yes, that is a feature (not a bug) of a parliamentary system. A complementary feature is that parliamentary systems tend to have representational seat distribution. So a party that wins 35% of the vote gets 35% of the seats.

Important context since this is about the UK: we don't have a representation seat distribution like that, we have first past the post. In the last election (2019) these are the results for each party with at least 10 MPs:

- Conservative Party, 43.6% of votes, 56.2% of seats (outright majority).

- Labour Party, 32.1% of votes, 31.1% of seats.

- Scottish National Party, 3.9% of votes, 7.4% of seats. The SNP only campaign in Scotland and win most seats there, which makes them extremely over-represented by FPTP.

- Liberal Democrats, 11.6% of votes, 1.7% of seats.
Didn't even think about that angle, but it makes a lot of sense.

You won because "He claimed that it was illegal to pick up that piece and put it down again, although he had no objection until he learned that I'd tricked him."

I think "touch-move" is perfectly valid to enforce, but you waive your right to do so once you move after that. If someone touches a piece in chess, then moves another piece, you don't get to go all the way until you're mated and then say there was an error you should have won on.

And if you touch an illegal to move piece, I would say there the penalty would probably be revealing the bomb (or that it is immobile), not forfeiture of the game.
Evidently, that's not what it means. It means hosting it until you don't feel like doing so anymore.

Trying to ignore any hype, lofty sci-fi ideas, or potential philosophical questions for a moment: roughly speaking, it sounds like this is a search engine, for use in a neat and thought-provoking use case.

There's an architecture diagram[1] alongside the source code, and my summary would be:

- The system has in-house web indexes built from Common Crawl[2] data

- The system receives snippets of text from Wikipedia and determines whether existing citations exist and whether they are valid

- If no valid citation exists, then the system performs queries against the indexes to find relevant URLs

It'd be interesting to learn how this approach fares compared to pasting the relevant paragraphs of text into search engines and excluding site:wikipedia.org from the results.

Something about feedback loops and data quality makes me wary that too much application of automated systems like this would lead to a degradation of content quality (each updated copy an imperfect translation or reference to an existing one).

"Based on our experience, skills and expertise that we bring, this is our best estimate. Be advised that an estimate is not just writing the code but includes work for various stages including discussions, proposals, meetings, design, development, testing, user acceptance testing, fixes after testing and more other stages. Would you want me to give you a breakdown of those stages as we want to make it easy for you to understand the estimate"

Never let someone tell you your estimate is too much. If it,s too much let them do it themselves.
> And if they judge you broke a rule that will be an extra $50. But you can appeal for $200?

The fact that money is involved would put them under legal scrutiny. It may not actually be a bad deal - the fee can be refunded if the appeal is legitimate (the fee is just to deter spammers) and if they still act maliciously you can take them to small claims court since there's now a defined monetary loss.

Great questions! All consumer apps have a hard time getting traction. We're taking an iterative approach here.

The strategic advantage here is focus. Just like there's only one Wordle, or the front cover of NYTimes, per day, we're creating artificial scarcity by focusing peoples attention on just one debate at the day.

I would consider this a success if people start asking themselves, "hey, have you heard the debate of the day?"

That's like calling 9/11 "a few planes being temporarily diverted from their flight paths".

The facts[0] paint a different picture:

"13 percent of those nearly 700 arrested as of early December are members of militia groups like the Oath Keepers or extremist groups like the Proud Boys."

> could have been avoided by winning by clear and resounding margins

If you don't care about the clear and resounding margin of the popular vote, or care about the voter suppression efforts in red states, or the fact that Biden won 74 more electoral votes than Trump, then I don't know what to tell you.

> by having a track record of passing legislation that people want

You're basically saying "Unless the winners pass exactly the legislation that the losers want, then the losers will resort to violence". You're advocating for terrorism. Anyway, you might be surprised to know that the Republicans had control of at least half of the legislature since 2015, so the 1/6 rioters really should have directed most of their anger towards the GOP.

> What I more often see seems to imply we shouldn't have responded at all and should have "toughed it out" and just let people die.

It's about making a smart cost-benefit analysis. We do this all of the time when it comes to death: for instance, we all willingly hop into cars even knowing there's a non-zero chance we could die in an accident.

I can't really blame anybody for the response on day 1 when we were operating in a fog of war with limited trustworthy information, but I think once we learned about the age-stratified risks associated with Covid, we should have focused on protecting the vulnerable and working to restore normal society as much as possible.

IMO, here's the big picture concern about the Covid response. The events of the last few years are possibly heading the world towards a global financial meltdown and absolute chaos (including wars) that could possibly lead to far more human suffering than anything Covid could have possibly thrown at us. The total response to Covid shouldn't be evaluated by just the last few years, but by the next decade or so where we reap the consequences.
I can't seem to find any benchmarks around it. I'm assuming as this gets further integrated into GCC, you'll start to see those crop up.

the rest of the world is not a monolith, and nobody speaks for the rest of the world in aggregate, so 'making it clear' doesn't matter.

Something like a Low-Level Virtual Machine?

Short answer, it’s feasible in theory, but usually suboptimal.
But OP is saying they consistently do this. At that point, it's a pattern, and it's intentional.

And I do agree with OP: every company does this. They want to squeeze every bit of work out of you, and this comes in other forms, not just through 'agile estimates'. Communications across teams that emphasize 'work-hard play-hard' also fall under this, and the 'play-hard' never actually comes. It's just new time-crunched work that gets dumped onto you. Or 'move-fast teams', or 'OKRs', etc.

The entire corporate infrastructure and communications is designed around pressuring workers to work more and more. Sure, there might be some great managers that can push back, but how many of them have you encountered across all the jobs you've been at? Most of my experiences have been what OP has said, most teams are terrible.

It's not a coincidence that the Tech Burnout Index is almost 43% across all of tech. Which means any job you jump to will have a good chance to burn you out some way or another. Which means all the crap that developers experience that burns them out is nearly ubiquitous, including being constantly grilled on estimates.

Whenever I see Calibre mentioned, I always think that I'd like to take the time and organize my hundreds of eBooks with all the metadata but can never seem to justify the effort since I will be reading on a different device that will lose that information.

I have an Android phone and an iPad. The only cross platform solution I've found for syncing reading position between those ecosystems is Google Play Books, but they don't really like large PDF uploads and epubs sometimes fail. It feels kind of gross uploading my own books to Google and having them track that information and would like to remove them from my reading habits. Calibre-Web has been mentioned in this thread and seemed like a good solution, but apparently doesn't support saving reading position.

Is there any solution that lets me read the same book on my phone and my tablet and keep them in sync?

> now more than ever, it seems — have a profound civilizational anxiety about being alone.

It seems to me the "natural" state of things is to NOT be alone. Did cavemen survive if they were alone? It use to be common for the majority of people in the world it live in single room houses. I'd think the "natural = better" crowd would be very much of the thought that being alone is a symptom of modern society. I'm not personally saying that being alone is bad. Only that the framing seems to be that not having alone time is bad and that seems like a strange framing to me if for most of our existance we were rarely alone.

Also, I notice almost none of the comments are about the "Do nothing" part. They're all about "do something with nobody all alone by yourself", not "do *nothing* with nobody all alone by yourself"

Doesn't matter if they ignore the laws as then they have to pay fines which bolsters the Treasury anyway. It's win-win. That's why the EU itself loves to regulate in this way because dishing out tickets to American big-tech is a big money spinner for a superstate that is fast running out of money. The real problems start when these fines are being seen in the halls of power as disruptive to trade; as then it becomes a bilateral political issue which can of course blow up in a full blown trade spat very quickly.

Also your example of ignoring Afghan laws on women doesn't work. If you tried to setup a business in Afghanistan that was say an online tutoring programme tailored for Aghan women. How quickly do you think your DNS will get pointed to 0.0.0.0 on the Afghan internet? And how quickly will they seek to prosecute you as a director of that business? As a foreigner living abroad, you'll probably be fine but you won't be making money from your target market. So you're finished. The law worked and you didn't ignore it.

exactly my thoughts, but no one else pointed this out.
IPv6 only is an interesting choice for a federated system but I guess most server providers will be providing a subnet for free anyway. I've set up services on IPv6 before but I've always at least provided a (slower) nginx proxy on some IPv4 address.

I'm all for the freedom of only providing IPv6 but for federated protocols relying on the servers of others it's a bit weird. Works fine inbound in rooms hosted on homeservers this server can reach, might produce issues outbound (i.e. when someone on a homeserver missing IPv6 tries to DM someone on this homeserver).
Fines, losing the ability to copyright things going forward, bonding/insurance, verification that the published works are derived solely from what's in escrow. There are many ways to regulate enforcement. It's very odd to point out the possibility of attempts to skirt the law as a reason to not consider such law to begin with.
