Oh, OpenAI does more or less release that much. People don't have issues implementing the models from their papers.

What they don't do is release the actual models and datasets, and it's very expensive to retrain those.
The problem is that predicting a pixel requires knowing what the pixels around it looks like. But if we start with lots of noise, then the neighboring pixels are all just noise and have no signal.

You could also think of this as: We start with a terrible signal to noise ratio. So we need to average over very large areas to get any reasonable signal. But as we increase the signal, we can average over a smaller area to get the same signal-to-ratio.

In the beginning, we're averaging over large areas, so all the fine detail is lost. We just get 'might be a dog? maybe??'. What the network is doing is saying "if this a dog, there should be a head somewhere over here. So let me make it more like a head". Which improves the signal to noise ratio a bit.

After a few more steps, the signal is strong enough that we can get sufficient signal from smaller areas, so it starts saying 'head of a dog' in places. So the network will then start doing "Well, if this is a dog's head, there should be some eyes. Maybe two, but probably not three. And they'll be kinda somewhere around here".

Why do it this way?

Doing it this ways means the network doesn't need to learn "Here are all the ways dogs can look". Instead, it can learn a factored representation: A dog has a head and a body. The network only needs to learn a very fuzzy representation at this level. Then a head has some eyes and maybe a nose. Again, it only needs to learn a very fuzzy representation and (very) rough relative locations.

So it only when it get right down into fine detail that it actually needs to learn pixel perfect representation. But this is _way_ easier, because in small areas images have surprisingly very low entropy.

The 'text-to-image' bit is a just a twist on the basic idea. At the start when the network is going "dog? or it might be a horse?", we fiddle with the probabilities a bit so that the network starts out convinced there's a dog in there somewhere. At which point it starts making the most likely places look a little more like a dog.

Check out the Twitter account @placardabuse [1]. It documents endemic lawbreaking by the NYPD. When civilians report lawbreaking, virtually without fail, the complaints are ignored — even when the violation is something the NYPD is ostensibly focusing on cracking down on, like “ghost cars”. Anecdotally, the vast majority of traffic violations I see are by police, and I have never had a report that resulted in any sort of action.

Your comment has a baked in assumption I want to question, though. Why do you regard police accountability as the most plausible default?

"tough to learn outside of school and much older."

Be very careful with this way of thinking. People around me have used it to justify not taking the time to learn something as far as I can remember. In short, giving up before they try. This attitude will hinder any possible growth. I guarantee it.

What's tough is following thru, not the subject you are trying to learn. If you can't learn on your own take a class at a local college. It will force you to show up and try. But thinking that you can't learn because you are older is not true.

Depends on the sector. You would expect consumer staples (ie food stuffs) to perform well since higher prices can easily be passed to consumers who can't cut back (hence inflation). You would expect money losing tech stocks to suffer as interest rates (and thereby discount rates) rise.

You would also expect bonds to perform poorly as their prices need to decline to make their yields competitive with those of new bonds issued at higher interest rates. Term loans should outperform since their interest rates are variable, making them safer in a regime of raising/fluctuating interest rates.

Conversely, sometimes US treasuries will outperform if investors are fleeing to a safe haven against potential recision risks. There's always another variable.
Former yugoslavia, then slovenia... I had to know every goddamn date and every goddamn village on the exams. And ok.. WWII was the start of the socialist yugoslavia... but I had to know the same for napoleon and the french revolution, and he barely passed here. Franco revolution, the same.. and soviet one too. Also a bunch of caesars too.

Geography was the same... ok, countries and capitals.. sure.. but a bunch of mountains and rivers and streams, where exactly the source is, and where and into which river it flows into... not just the major ones, even the crappy minor ones. Also stuff like, what is the greatest export of nigeria and other countries that are far enough, that I didnt need to know.

Of course I forgot all of that data probably days after the exam, and never cared for 99% of it, and googled the last percent when needed.

That did exist close enough to the period he mentioned. Remembering the position and analysis is necessary, remembering when exactly this position happened and even between whom exactly is utterly useless.

He didn't make a clueless impression to me. But I'm not Carlsen's fanboy whos accusations can cloud my own reasoning. If I was, I'd probably believe that Niemann is a proven cheater and would look for facts to confirm that bias.

A big part of the aforementioned book is the manner in which differing steels produce a burr, or even micro-burr that can be mistaken for an edge, but cuts poorly and/or deteriorates quickly. A number of deburring techniques are tested on a number of steels and it is noteworthy that there is no single best method - each category of steels responds best to a different manner of deburring. Great longevity was achieved with proper deburring (as shown in the book with a host of SEM photos.

No, NeRFs are more interpretable because they directly model field densities which absorb and emit light. In this respect they are something akin to a neural version of photogrammetry. They don’t need to train on a large corpus of images, because they can reconstruct directly from a collection of posed images.

On the other hand, diffusion models can learn fairly arbitrary distributions of signals, so by exploiting this learned prior together with view consistency, they can be much more sample efficient than ordinary NeRFs. Without learning such a prior, 3D reconstruction from a single image is extremely ill-posed (much like monocular depth estimation).

The Full Chess Cheating Report of Hans Neiman
I think it's mostly performance as the browser can add performance optimisations for HTML but not unevaluated JavaScript.

The alternative is a "display: none" block, but that triggers a calculation of styles, where <template> can never be rendered so it's evaluated (likely in parallel to JS) by the browser without style calculations.

The optimisations lose weight if the <template> tag is added programatically later. For it to be maximally efficient; all of the <template> tags must be inlined in your HTML prior to your application loading. You can play around with loading it asynchronously to ensure nothing blocks.

NASA and SpaceX studying to boost Hubble telescope into higher orbit
Support for multiple analog signal formats did not become common on TVs until people started moving away from CRTs and towards flat panel LCDs and plasmas. This transition lasted a pretty long time, as both LCD and plasma presented numerous drawbacks compared to CRTs (LCDs arguably still do), and CRTs were still very cost-effective even well into the '00s.

Adding support for signals used in other regions to an analog CRT display meant adding more circuitry, so this feature was largely relegated to very high end sets and professional video monitors.

With digital flat panels, those analog signals were now being captured with an analog-to-digital converter. How to translate the sequence of numbers representing a formerly analog signal into something usable by the panel could now be defined in software, or even very compact digital hardware. This makes it more cost-effective to just produce one version of the decoder that works in all regions.
If you can run MySQL you can run ClickHouse. They are both about the same level of effort operationally. Your case sounds pretty simple and can be addressed with one or more single node systems.

As far as whether it works on a single core, you probably need to load data and test. That's the only way to answer that question for sure.

IMO the real question for any database is whether you can invest the time to learn how to fix problems and deal with boring but necessary operations like upgrade. If not, it's probably better to use a managed service. We operate a SaaS for ClickHouse but use managed MySQL and Kubernetes. That choice freed up resources to focus on making ClickHouse run well.

I always wonder what the expected value on this strategy is. I'm a naive sucker, so I have worked my ass off at my job, and I have had 250% salary growth in 5 years at it. Maybe that's standard if you're job hopping. Do you ever get raises? Do these jobs actually pay over 33% of the best job you could get? Would it be more stressful to juggle this kind of thing than the level of stress at a normal job you're invested in?

>How do I best deal with the bias that seems to exist in tech against experienced engineers looking for work in tech due to c19?

I'm not sure what c19 is but I expect my answer doesn't change.

Here's the reality of how looking for employment works.

You apply to a job, they will give you an interview or not. Doesn't matter if they don't.

At the first interview all the biases of the interviewers will apply. These don't matter.

Your biases will apply, and it's your job to minimize these as much as possible while also maintaining the importance of certain biases. PErsonally I will NEVER work with a micromanager ever again. That's my bias and I'm sticking with that one to the end.

Your job in the interview is to convince them you are capable and ready to help them solve whatever their problems are. This is your job.

Their job in the interview is to convince you to want to work for them. If their biases get in the way, then no big deal at all. Better now than having to deal with it later.

Calc is a mental tool, like a library, that you can use to explain things. DEs are a particularly useful abstraction for understanding flows: of things, money, people, etc. But you have to be looking to apply it because hardly anyone else is (although YouTube has surfaced some really great thinkers who do know calc and who do apply it, and I don't think would get audience otherwise).
