Nice! I love how fast AI is improving :)

Attention mechanisms are something I know to be extremely important in the rapid advancement of modern AI (post-2017), but they're also something that I still don't fully understand in terms of implementation. So can someone tell me if I'm correct or not in thinking of this paper as a sort of "focus" for AI attention? As in, existing attention mechanisms look at everything and decide how important each thing is to understanding the current token, while this version only looks at everything nearby the token and a much lower number of things sampled from farther away? Kind of like the difference, by analogy with humans, between "the area around the object you're looking at" and your important-but-less-defined peripheral vision?
I really hope this works out well, it's a very difficult problem to solve with a chance of making a huge impact. If this is one of the major ways in which we can get FOSS contributors funded, get FOSS users 'paid support' and solve the 'who is the expert on subject X' problem all at the same time, everyone will be better for it.

The danger of success in this case might be a slow creep in requirements to 'be on Ringer or we do not want it' for FOSS projects, or if ringer gets bought by LinkedIn or something like that, that would be bad as well.
I don't have a strong opinion, but there's a difference between "making drugs illegal solves all problems" and "making drugs illegal minimizes drug use".

Yes. And while that's a much more reasonable interpretation of what I said, it's still not reasonable. Beware of people who can't make a point without using both sarcasm and a ridiculous straw-man version of whatever offends them.

No one is saying, "Subscribe to only this small subset of opinions on [insert massive topic]." There are lots of interesting contrarians in macroeconomic theory.

What I'm actually saying is, "It's better not to waste time on the opinions of people with an explicit agenda, a poor understanding of the subject, and many beliefs that are easily refuted."

But if someone has time to spare, then by all means, go for it.
Unfortunately, phytran is missing in the comparison. Phytran works in a lot of cases and it easy to use by just using python types. I would like to see a comparison with taichi, as taichi also seems to be interesting.
Yep, one of the most popular monarchies, the Holy Roman Empire, was an elective monarchy (mostly theoretical after the Habsburgs took over, but still).
What you're saying is that Apple complies with the law and that iCloud is not encrypted by default. iMessages are still encrypted end to end. We surely don't desire Apple to take on the American government and win. I assume you're also not saying that because iMessages isn't anti-FBI secure, that we mind as well go fully unsecured?

It's not Apple's obligation to force Google to submit to Apple's encryption protocols, and it's not Apple's obligation to force SMS standards to comply with their standard.

Your concern was about bullying. Would it be better if Apple simply did away with the colors and notified you that "THIS MESSAGE IS UNENCRYPTED."?
It was the expert advice that warned me about the odd tax situation. My current understanding is that the UK and US do have a tax treaty and it does mean we don’t have to get double-taxed for this kind of engagement, but to avoid it there is a particular form we have to give to any US-based client that they keep as evidence of the above so they don’t have to deduct US tax at source before paying us. But as you say, if anything like this ever went ahead, this is definitely a taking-professional-advice situation, particularly if that form is at all tricky to fill out.
What's the alternative? Every corrupt leader since Nero has called their opposition's true statements "conspiracy theories" or similar and suppressed their statements as such; or deliberately invented conspiracy theories about their opponents and declared the truth to be the conspiracy. You can look up speeches in which Fascist and Nazi leaders denounced the "conspiracy theories" against them, which were (at the time) actually "unfounded" despite turning out almost completely true. We didn't know about the true horrors of the Nazi death camps until after the war ended, despite the "conspiracy theories" running rampant and often violently suppressed.

The alternative is to, quite literally, allow someone to be an arbiter of the truth, and then suppress information they determine is not factual. To which I say, give me this power, and in 30 years, I will be an emperor.
It also helps when trying to put limits on greedy users or maintain a ban-list. Attribution is also important, like you said.
Granted, an abusive user could just keep creating new keys, but if they require something like email verification then it's a little bit costlier to circumvent than nothing.

> discussion of fraud is beyond the overton window.

That is not what is happening here. There was discussion of fraud, it was investigated, and proven to be baseless.

Clinging to that insistence of fraud is what resulted in an attempted coup. Continued insistence at this point can only be attributed to ignorance or malice. There is no longer any good-faith reason to doubt the 2020 election results.
What do you mean? Edward VIII abdicated in order to marry Wallis Simpson. Not to mention countless other people born into royal families not only in European kingdoms, but also kingdoms throughout the world. Yes they were (in varying degrees) pressured to respect the line of succession but if Elizabeth II wanted to retire 10 years ago she would be able to.
I can believe it. Accessing sequential data that's being prefetched into cache is astonishingly faster than following references.
I think the point here is that her wealth being mostly private (or enough of it being private not being a specialist in those matters), the way she carried her duty was even more remarkable.
You could easily imagine somebody inheriting similar wealth and not behaving nearly as well as she did for her country.
I do not think it is about being pro or against monarchy here.
Also, on several of the charts it's fairly clear that the inflection point isn't 1971, and some of the other policies with a fairly obvious causal relationship with widening of income inequality (like top bracket tax cuts) are those typically endorsed by those wishing to return to the gold standard

I have very simple way of figuring if something will succeed ir it is a scam.

If CEO have some experience in the field then it might succeed (workday, salesforce, okta, etc.) If not, then it is probably a scam.

But specifically saying not to comment negatively while allowing positive comments on what is clearly a hotly contested issue is ridiculous.
I don't think Google is a benevolent actor by any means, but they do have a history of build iPhone versions of their apps with a first-class experience. At times the iOS version has actually been better/ahead of the android version (although that's usually a short term thing).

What product has Google made that they don't make available on iphone? Apple definitely has a history of only supporting their own system, while Google doesn't. I think it's wildly cynical to assume Google would do the same thing as Apple if the roles were reversed. One company has a long track record of behaving like that, while the other doesn't.
Harsh! I think Boom is trying to be SpaceX. A technology that is definitely possible, but pretty difficult to pull off as a start-up. But saying they are Theranos or Madoff is unfair. If they succeed to make the technology work and then succeed to make it profitable is of course not obvious at this point.

I'm confused if this even reaches the bar for a strawman... Today, I am legally allowed to drink bleach. It's not breaking the law, just my body.

I cannot, however, take psilocybin, which breaks the law, but gives new insights into the body.

I think that's a misconception. For context: I have a strong preference for keyboard use, mouse is only an optional accessory that's sometimes useful.

I already use touch on my XPS 13 and it's just another nice accessory, which I often prefer over a mouse (especially for mobile use). If I move from keyboard to mouse to click a button, I can also just touch it. Or lazily scroll a page. But it's a mistake to assume it should replace all other input methods instead of augmenting them; forcing that on a user sucks, yes.

Edit: Oh, and I just played "Root" on a 43" touch screen sitting on a table. Works well, except that I need to integrate it into the table.
Now begins the crucial and cringeworthy task of C-level executives (and those mimicking them) all over the world posting about this on LinkedIn and emailing all employees regardless of how many of those receiving the message have any connection to the UK or the Commonwealth.

I’m not saying this doesn’t matter, of course it does. It’s sad like any death is, and it’s meaningful to many people. But there are many kings and queens out there, and just because this one meant a lot to you doesn’t mean you should start roleplaying a member of the British nobility.

The only decent and respectful way to approach this for all parts involved in my mind is to acknowledge it, pay your condolences and move on. That’s the respectful and sane common ground we can all agree on.

As soon as you start making business decisions based on this for a global company (like global days of mourning, for example) you are, in my humble opinion, treading on thin ice.

This type of cultural hegemony kills the employer-employee relationship.

Be professional. Be reserved.

The monarchy is still politically relevant in the UK[1]. But it seems dang prefers to have pages of saccharine platitudes than allow any discussion of the desirability of monarchy in the modern world or any critical discussion of the Queen's legacy. Curiosity is only encouraged if it doesn't put wealth and power under it's microscope. Then it becomes tedious.

As I wrote here three years ago[1]:

> Indignation isn't shallow or boring, it's the driving force behind social progress. Indeed, lack of indignation indicates either the inability to imagine a better world or perhaps the natural satisfaction with the status quo of someone who finds themself sitting on the upper rungs of society as currently structured. The latter no doubt describes many of us here.

Indignation isn't the arch-enemy of intellectual curiosity; apathy and bovine conformity are. This status-quo bias is what you would expect of a forum run for the benefit of a Silicon Valley for-profit institution, but it's still disappointing.

Caddy's performance is competitive with nginx, but there are too many dimensions to discuss here. I guarantee that for most people, your web server will not be your bottleneck.

Dynamic brotli is expensive, as brotli compression is inefficient. There are no optimized Go implementations of this yet. But Caddy can serve precompressed brotli files without any separate plugins.

What do you mean by "what affect do [plugins] have on performance"? All features in Caddy are plugins, some just come installed by default: https://caddyserver.com/docs/architecture -- even its HTTP server is a plugin. (All plugins are compiled in natively.)

Is it accurate to say that the YouTube algorithm (and possibly the algorithms of other sites like TikTok) are creating personalized holes for people to fall into? I feel that way.

> please don't post flamebait, including ranting against monarchy or railing against "the nobility" like it's 1770.

I am kind of curious about what this means exactly. Is any criticism of the monarchy off limits? Is the purpose of this thread for people to air their positive thoughts about this lady?

For example, I find non-British people that are genuinely sad about her passing to be pretty bizarre. It’s a fascinating event to look at how we tend to form parasocial relationships with carefully curated depictions of people.

It’s even more bizarre when we make actual rules to enforce orthodoxy and stifle criticism of parasocial relationships with carefully curated depictions of people.

This insistence on an arbitrary standard of decorum and the compulsion to play out a socially-prescribed bit of theater is pretty odd. Queen Elizabeth was paradoxically both not powerful enough to warrant lumping her in with British failings and at the same time so powerful that we are compelled to speak highly of her.
At first I thought 'Not another one'.

But this is really well designed and great to have the style customization available.

The upvote, bookmark buttons etc probably need a tooltip - not everyone might know what those icon buttons do. In fact I'd add a tooltip to all icons buttons.

Also, when the width is set to 100% - the menu that appears after clicking on the more button (3 dots) is cut off - as it appears to the right. You probably have to do some edge detection or always show it to the left.

And nice one for trying to earn a buck.

I'm echoing what others have said but as a Commonwealth citizen turned British citizen with a grandmother who was the same age but died last year, I can't help but feel an extended member of my family has passed.

I am not a monarchist by any means, but I felt an attachment and affection for the Queen that made me value the institution. I know she led a privileged life but ceaseless service and consistency across literal generations is, to my view, no easy ride.

Rest in peace

> Yes, she could have abdicated

If you can quit a job but you choose not to do so, in what sense did you not "sign up for it"? Her own uncle Edward VIII abdicated so he can marry Wallis Simpson without controversy. This has nothing to with anti-monarchism, I'm just pointing out that she was the queen only through her own free will.
