As someone that is deep into a Python web development, I see where this can be useful. However, after 1/3 down of the article it gets harder and harder to wrap my brain around the concepts without really learning elixir syntax. I feel like it would have been better to have 10 smaller articles than this long one, going deeper into the syntax and showing other example of Python way of doing it. I’m not sure I would do some of the example in Python as the author suggested. That case case it just build a string array and use join. To creat the statement with an eval to run it. Weird I know, but I’ve pulled that trick a couple of times now.

Because as someone who has done support for a 28000 person organisation, 27500 of which are using mostly Microsoft products on windows for 90% of the time and 500 of which are using Mac or Linux and doing other stuff I can tell you that at least 50% of the security incidents and second line support issues came from those 500 users.

There is no moat, the entire point of LLM is to have no moat and just throw money faster at the problem than your competitors.
Well, it’s a lot more plausible than “Ingria”, given it has a distinctive language/culture/religion. On the other hand (1) it is some way from an international border, making successful separatism less plausible (unless, of course, the border were to somehow move closer); (2) ethnically, it is over 50% Tatar, with a Russian minority of about 40%. Assumably the Russian minority would oppose separatism, with great potential for inter-ethnic violence, genocide, partition, etc. By contrast, Chechnya is over 95% ethnic Chechen.
Kodi has YouTube? YT was the only reason I didn't just set up a Pi 4 or whatever. Already got one LibreELEC system for the home theatre, but wanted YT for the "daily driver" TV display. I assumed any YT plugin for Kodi would be persistently behind API changes and often not working, etc... is my assumption wrong? Would be great to hear if so haha
> Do you believe lawyers and judges are unfamiliar with this issue?

They are absolutely familiar with this issue and if you've ever been in any legal case, they'll gleefully exploit every small word to make you look like the biggest criminal rapist in the world and maximize the time you spent in jail.

Go read why exactly do we support Signal and other E2E encrypted messengers. Establishing precedent that every word you say while WFH can be used against you for decades is problematic no matter how much you hate Google.
Perhaps because that is going to be a key factor in how many use cases for which it could be commercialised, worth considering when training a model costs a million dollars in compute time.

I've always been curious on most efficient points of sail, and the envelope for tall ships like this. Would love to contribute!
If you and I have a private dispute, you sue, and I tell your lawyers I shredded everything related to the case because I routinely shred my papers at the end of each month, even if that's true, I'm probably going to settle for more than had I maintained records. (Assuming I wasn't blatantly lying.) The shred-it-all approach has its upsides. But it also comes with liability.
From reading the article I think the Fediverse - whatever it eventually is - is not dead but became fulfilled, at least for the target audience it could reach. And this goal couldn't have been that everyone hosts servers/instances that are all globally interconnected - but that they are capable to do so in the first place. People just want a good protocol easy setup, good apps/UX, standards that everyone knows. The "idea" doesn't matter. It could have been just as well IRC/XMPP. TCP/IP people didn't have grand ideas about society on the network.
What do you mean by custom apps? If you mean operators/controllers, yes.
Even in large companies it depends a lot on the product. For Microsoft, if something has an issue tracker on GitHub (e.g. VSCode, C#, Windows Terminal), the bugs that get filed there are usually looked at directly by the team that owns it.

When I saw Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch I bought it, thinking it'd be a solution for the MS login madness and my kid could play easily with it.

Wrong!

It's even worse! You still have to log in with some MS account, but on top it's buggy, slow, laggy, and crashed a few times on me generating the world. What a disaster.
I agree with you, it would be nice to have a cloud profile, a plugin store, few other “windowing” features.

But by package set I literally mean it, e.g. mine is ale, nerdtree, snipmate, and the rest is cosmetic: scss syntax, tab guides and a couple of other syntaxes. Not some lunar/astro nvim-based heap of packages.

What I really miss in vscode and others, be it zeroconf or not, is editor programming features. E.g. I like to have sections in code that I can easily navigate. Something nmap ; /\/\/<Space>sec_<CR>$ does that. I also can create a popup with all of them + function names grepped from an unsaved source and navigate. Or highlight few more tokens. That is impossible in vscode unless you take a deep dive into its or its modules not very well documented internals. You can’t even write a module in .vscoderc, it must be formed into a package and [re]installed or get run in a special vscode mode. If the store doesn’t have what I want, I’m out of luck.

Things that failed (various degrees) for me: correct linewise indentation, readable sections on outline or minimap, non-syntactic folds, custom command mappings. Also the defaults are horrible, my last attempt was something like three pages of settings.json. Way too many afternoons, deleted my whole account to never try again. Tbf, my vimrc is also two pages long in the part that is related to settings. But at least the rest does what I want.

Don't bother with this. The seal created by the plunger is good enough to stop the flow of coffee. Insert the plunger at an angle so that you push out as much air as possible before straightening it out.
hey thanks for your reply.

umm...so does OpenAI. In fact this is OpenAI discovery from [1]:

>Convergence is inefficient: When working within a fixed compute budget C but without any other restric-
tions on the model size N or available data D, we attain optimal performance by training very large models
and stopping significantly short of convergence (see Figure 3). Maximally compute-efficient training would
therefore be far more sample efficient than one might expect based on training small models to convergence,
with data requirements growing very slowly as D ∼ C0.27 with training compute. (Section 6)

>We have also tested our models on a set of additional text data distributions. The test loss on these datasets
as a function of model size is shown in Figure 8; in all cases the models were trained only on the WebText2
dataset. We see that the loss on these other data distributions improves smoothly with model size, in direct
parallel with the improvement on WebText2. We find that generalization depends almost exclusively on the
in-distribution validation loss, and does not depend on the duration of training or proximity to convergence.
We also observe no dependence on model depth (see Appendix D.8)

P.S. Not trolling. genuinely trying to learn.

In times of remote work and working from home, there's no meaningful difference between recording all conversation in office and retaining all private chats.
Indeed if it's true and accurate, that would be.
True - I think the key is "empirical probability", so just keying on the combinations of all the tokens in your context window.

(Also I think the "last n tokens" term is a bit misleading: ChatGPT seems to have an n of "approximately 4000 tokens or 3000 words" [1, 2] which would amount to ~6 pages of text [3].

I've seen very few conversations even approaching that length - and in the ones that did, there were reports of it breaking down, e.g. having continuity errors in long RP sessions, etc. So I think for practical purposes we can say its "probability of the next token given all the previous tokens".)

Building a naive markov chain with such a large context is infeasible even before compression, you couldn't even gather enough training data: If you have a vocabulary of 200 words, that would give you 200^4000 [4] conditional probabilities to train. You'd have to gather enough data to get a useful empirical probability for each of them. (Even if shortened the length to the ones of realistic prompts, like 50 words or so, 200^50 is still a number too big to have a name)

Which is why, from what I've got, the big innovation in transformer networks was that they don't look at each token in their context window but have a number of "meta models" which select which tokens to look at - the "attention head" mechanism.

And I think there, the intuition of markov chains break down a bit. Those meta models make the selection based on some internal representation of the tokens. But at least I haven't really understood yet what that internal representation contains.

Not likely. Millennials aren't undergoing conservatisation with age. We'll likely be the first generation to leave the country better than we found it since the silent generation.

There are historical reasons for why this is, too: the looting of the public realm in the 80s was designed to make working class people (largely boomers) think like conservatives by giving them a chance to "win" from their capital (especially houses) rather than their labour. Once you sell this stuff off, there's nothing left to bribe the next generation with, and here we are.

I'm sure we will make some mistakes, but we simply don't have the opportunity to do as badly as the current boomers are doing.

That or the leadership is inexperienced and get the team locked in a build trap.
Dahl made a choice not to lay down restrictions in his will and not to appoint literary executors who he'd ensured would refuse to change things. He may or may not have disapproved of any given set of changes, but the absence of any such terms is implicit consent for his estate to do as it pleases.

I have published books. They'll likely never be worth anything. But the absence of any terms about them in my will is intentional: Once I'm gone, I don't give a shit what my inheritors do with the rights for them. That's their business.

As for authenticity, the originals still exist. Nothing has erased them. Deposit laws means the original editions will be on file at relevant libraries even if every customer got rid of theirs. I'm all for ensuring original editions remain at least somehow accessible, but this obsession with changes to books now just strikes me as comical given how long abridged, simplified or simply reimagined versions of classics have existed.

Though chances are good that what you've read and consider "authentic" wasn't the original anyway, but one of the earlier revised editions. E.g. the version most people will have read was revised to change the Oompa-Loompas from African pygmies.
> Ukrainians are dying in a war that any educated person knows they are likely to lose. The more money we send them, the more Ukrainians will die. The best solution is a peaceful solution.

Ukrainian civilians are being raped and tortured by Russians in occupied territories as well.

So I guess the question is, how many of your family and friends would you let be tortured and raped before you did decided that maybe you should fight back?.

Same reason why 24/7 surveillance of everything you do in your life is destructive for society.

When you're a "company employee" for at least third of your life you're still human that deserves some privacy away from spying eyes of HR, lawyers and government looking for something you did wrong.

Few things here: first there's very few big techs in the country, which mean layoffs in the thousands are unlikely. The second thing is that big companies (even the software ones) use an army of external consultants precisely to go around law governing work. They can then go let off people without technically firing anyone.
I’m not saying that you specifically need to hear this, but for anyone reading and for the record, electric vehicles pollute less than gasoline cars even when considering the pollution at the source of power generation, and even if that source power plant is the worst kind, one burning coal.

As for pollution during manufacturing, EVs cause more, but then they break even in pollution terms in comparison to gasoline vehicles after less than three years, and are a net environment win each year after that.

A big chunk of the problem is competition law preventing prices increasing in events like this.

Supermarkets in France just increase the price for tomatoes for a few months and pay suppliers slightly more to get the stock they want.

In the UK, competition law prevents jacking up the price during a supply interruption, meaning suppliers prefer to direct scarce goods to France instead, where they earn more. That makes scarcity in England worse.
Read the article and without reading the books that are mentioned I believe it's a writers rant. But that doesnt mean you could not be radicalised by reading books. It is more then just that, radicalisation is due to external influence and internal unrest and or being angry about something and finding like minded people.
I disagree with the basic premise that what is actually described in the situation described - a third party called a "RealParty Pricing Advisor" does not need approval from a manager to change prices, whilst an employee tasked with the responsibility of confirming the day's prices is presented with the options of either confirming the change (to the third party) or entering into a dispute resolution process (involving the third party) even just to keep one of the prices the same - represents a normal process of price changes being signed off by a manager.
Wikipedia article "Cryptanalysis of the Enigma" from your first link mentions also Turing's involvement.
Assuming that the support experience for the customers is actually good, I'm amazed they've managed to scale their support efforts that far. I work on a similar type of product, except in-house in an organization with around 2000-2500 engineers, and handling support has by far been the hardest thing to scale as we've grown. Even with documentation available, internal Stack Overflow with plenty of common questions answered, unified search, Slack integrations, error messages linking directly to documentation, pre-defined observability dashboards and monitors, we still get so many questions that it's a full time job staying on top of it. Can't imagine having 100x that amount of users.

Metabolism changes is something like going down from 2100 maintenance calories to 1900 calories. A donut is /at least/ 300+ calories. Age-related metabolism changes are also not that serious.

I've seen people losing 40kg (120kg to 80kg) by just walking and counting calories. It's the last 5-6 kg that are harder than the first 20kg is almost trivial to lose - one all the right habits are in place.

And habits are the hardest part. It's not the body, not laws of thermodynamics, it's just your habits (most of the time).

Having walked (as a tourist without a car) through an American university campus on the day of a baseball match, some parts of the movies are accurate.

The decorated frat houses with passed-out guys on the lawn outside.

The enormous stadium in the centre.

Thousands of people (all students?) wearing team shirts.

Some sort of isolation, there were massive motorways around the university, barely any public transport and little space for walking, which may explain why I saw so few students in the nearby city centre.
Not sure I agree with the “pizza cognition theory” being applied to coffee.

The coffee I started drinking in the 80s was very firmly first wave stuff. Instant Maxwell House kind of stuff. I now very much enjoy and prefer the fruitiness of third wave coffee. Maybe that’s James Hoffman’s fault.
In the case where products can be profitably produced at a cheaper price, the people should band together, put aside the market system, and produce all 5000 units. More people are served.

I think it's still complicated. I wouldn't try to play too much with it, but you can use the "same" account across each of their national portals except parts of it seem to be local to the country, and many amazon apps don't have a notion of country (e.g. when logging to the prime app you only use the email and password, and it guesses from there. It actually finds the right item from an app downloaded from a different country's app store).

I made a point to separate mail addresses by country to avoid getting hosed, but I'd imagine the fun trying to access Prime or kindle purchases from an account that has them in multiple national stores.

I was randomly watching youtube videos about Elixir ("The Soul of Erlang and Elixir " by Sasa Juric), and I have never really been interested in it... I was completely wrong. BEAM/Erlang is amazing piece of technology, and Elixir does excellent job to bring in new people in.

If you do web development, then just for the sake of professional curiosity, I urge you to go watch a couple of videos to make yourself in idea. I have found that some (many) features which I would go learn and use another tool for, are already included into Elixir ... Now I feel sad for doing Django for my daywork
> Churches can exempt themselves from FICA taxes. Churches are not required to withhold income taxes on wages paid to ministers.

Churches don’t pay FICA on clergy, but the clergy are supposed to pay SECA instead. This is because the IRS doesn’t consider the church-clergy relationship to be an employer-employee. It is possible to be exempt from SECA too, but only if one asserts a religious objection to Social Security and Medicare - which I understand is rather rare. Furthermore it is only available to religious groups that existed in 1950, so if you start a new religion tomorrow you aren’t eligible, no matter how successful it might become.
