The only way this gets resolved is when political parties stop pretending that Iowa is somehow representative of their voters and shift the primary schedule to put it farther behind other states.

Democrats especially shouldn’t put up with Iowa considering how it hasn’t voted D anytime recently. Not to mention the completely FUBAR 2020 primary.

> Nothing came out of the DOJ case with respect to MS bundling IE.

In the sense that there was ultimately a comparative slap on the wrist remedy, in part because of a favorable-to-Microsoft change in administration between the findings of fact on antitrust violation (in which bundling IE was a factor, but far from the sole factor) and the imposition of a remedy for those violations, yes, nothing much came out of it.
This is at least the third similar reply I've read in this thread, so I'll just reiterate that this extension is much older than this feature, and at the time I installed this extension nothing about its description indicated it would ever behave like this.

When I installed this, it was offered essentially as a PrivacyBadger alternative. The only notification to me that it was being changed to new kind of extension offering more services was the injection of an advertisement for those services into the form fields of webpages I visit.

The existing extension already has a UI panel - it lives in the top right of my browser, under an icon. Plenty of other extensions have utilized this panel or a new tab page to respectfully inform me of changes to the offering. DuckDuckGo is the only extension that has decided to materially alter the contents of the webpages I visit without my consent to make such a notification.
What no implementation example?
>My point is exactly that by not washing out these words, we allow ourselves to have conversations about and raise exactly those points you mentioned. It allows us to think about the root causes of these terms and reflect on our own behavior.

Why do we assume that these books are always accompanied by these conversations and these conversations wouldn't happen without these books? Many times kids read these books alone and no one ever talks to them about these words. Other times they are read in specific classes in school in contexts that aren't ideal to address these issues. An English teacher shouldn't have to spend all their time teaching history to keep these things in context. Let those conversations happen in social studies and history classes.

>Have you considered that the white/black differentiation of not about color but about what humans can perceive? To me it seems as if it would have been established because humans can see during the day vs. can't do so well at night. There are many reasons outside of race where light/dark, black/white make sense.

Yes, but whether the origin lies in racism or not isn't necessarily the only deciding factor. Just the question of whether it originates in racism is often enough to distract from a book. Like an editor might suggest an author change phrasing to avoid an unintentional rhyme or pun, sometimes a word should be change to avoid distracting the reader with considerations about whether a term is racist or not. The obvious example is the word "niggardly"[1]. Its etymology has nothing to do with race, but editors will still warn you against using it because the distraction is causes makes it a poor word choice in most situations even if the word itself is inoffensive.

Rather than censor in a thread about censorship, I think it best to counter uncomfortable comments with more information.

Another really cool feature is the this hall of mailboxes which was designed by a french artist and includes a mailbox for every democratically elected official in German history. The hall also contains officials such as Hitler and Goebbels because they were democratically elected but they often have to repair the box because people visiting will often punch and kick their boxes

As I understand it, Bitnami produces their own containerized distributions of things like Postgres, pgbouncer, etc. ARM support just means that they are now pushing images compiled for ARM (probably lowest common denominator aarch64) in addition to their x86_64 images. This means that if you run these things on docker or k8s on your Apple Silicon, you no longer have to rely on binfmt_misc emulation.

This is all somewhat amusing to me because we moved away from distributing Bitnami images because they didn't have arm64 support.

Side tip. If you use Linux, you can setup qemu to emulate binaries from non-native architectures: https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation. I did this on my workstation and I can run pretty much any Linux binary that comes my way. Very convenient in this new multi-arch world. (Yes it's pretty slow, but it's nice if you're building ARM binaries to be able to test that they at least start up OK. binfmt_misc works great for that!)

The issue here is not so much that Google is playing these games but how this draws energy away from OTHER games-- i.e. shipping and keeping alive new products and offering real customer service for existing ones.
> Dropping it doesn't change the duplicity that existed for almost 2 decades.

It was dropped in 2015, 17 years after Google's foundation. Are you saying they were evil from the beginning? I couldn't tell but at least for their first decade or so they seemed to be trying to do good. In any case, it's very different to be Google and evil vs. Mozilla/Firefox having a unique ID in some downloads.

Why do I say some downloads? Because that ID is assigned when you click the link on their website's downloads page. If you get it from your package manager, which I suspect a very large portion of their user base does, you don't get uniquely identified. If you download from any mirror or otherwise free software download store, you don't get uniquely identified.
Not speaking Norwegian will make finding love much more difficult. Norwegian women are indeed beautiful but so are Norwegian men...
I don’t consider eng manager on the same level as an executive. They’re middle management.

And back when the first 1-5 billion dollar valuation was created we moved fast and operated in small teams. Since going public and hiring like 5x as many people our valuation has only gone up like 1-2x. I strongly believe that the end game folks are not very good at their jobs and love wasting time coming up with process and spending money on events.

Again I know why this happens. I’m just saying I wish it wasn’t this way. Appearances and perception.. so dumb.

Oh well time to find my next exit hopefully because I love that thrill of building and solving customer problems.

> But how did YouTube get founded in the first place, and become successful as a video-sharing platform for original content

A "successful" business makes more than it spends so it can be an ongoing concern. Any company can sell a lot of dollars for 95 cents. Youtube was never a "successful" business with a meaningful revenue stream before being acquired by Google.

> Or how did Google come to exist, when the market was dominated by (then-) huge firms like Yahoo, Lycos, and Altavista?

You realize you're arguing against the need for government regulation. This is the market working as it should. But Google became a success initially because Yahoo used it as their "search engine". Google initially offered to be bought up by Yahoo and Yahoo balked at the price. Google wasn't trying to go it alone.
For ESPs I recently had quite some fun prototyping using MicroPython. REPL directly on the controller so I can try things out, a mechanism to "mount" a local directory on controller so larger things can be tested easily etc. and then support for many of the features (I2C, SPI, Wifi, BLE, ... all work, one can even send binary for the low energy core on the ESP32, while some things weirdly are missing, like support for the temperature sensor on the ESP32-C2)
I would like it if media labelling of this sort of thing always talked about hours as well as days.

> Problems in real-estate are almost always government created IMHO and not "capitalism".

But who buys the government?
"we are publicly releasing LLaMA"

"Access to the model will be granted on a case-by-case basis to academic researchers"

They keep saying the word 'release' but I don't think they know what that word means. There are perfectly good words in the English language to describe this situation without abusing "release." They "will begin to grant access to a select few". Nothing about that releases the model, or their control, which they are not doing and shouldn't imply.
Interesting, I wonder if you could (hypothetically) develop some hardware that does the bits the CPU needs to do and essentially have a cracker ASIC? And if it would yield improvements that require a reaction.
Worst case you could always roll your own based on proven open source libraries, down to the metal.

It’s common to see statements like “group A believes X but group A also believes Y, that’s hypocritical”, where not everyone said to be in group A universally believes X and Y.

> If the USA suddenly had a food crisis, the ethanol production could be stopped.

Could it? 99% of corn grown (including that used for ethanol) isn’t the sweet corn for eatin. Would take a while to switch and I’m guessing there isn’t much excess capacity for turning it all into corn syrup and such.

COVID couldn’t even figure out how to redirect institutional toilet paper into consumer toilet paper. And that’s the same product!

The real buffer for a “food crisis” (whatever that is) is the amount of crop fed to livestock and food exported, not ethanol.
What are they hoping for? People quit, the remaining ones work in the office, and productivity per worker goes up? Do they end up with a more hard working and loyal workforce? Is there any evidence this is a good strategy? If this is a financial issue, why not just say that and cut the number they need to make it work? Wouldn’t that make more sense to both employees and investors? Are these moves actually helping prop up the stock price?

I’m not sure it’s out of line with the normal news media portrayal: for decades, it’s been understood that there’s an elite which has access to many things which the average citizen is prevented from doing, and this seems more in keeping with that since ransomware doesn’t require unusual levels of skill as much as legal immunity. This seems in line with the level of resources and skill they’d need to do things like the kidnappings and assassinations: a modest number of people and resources, but not remotely near the level they’d need to field a modern army or high-tech economy, and nothing like the ability to hit a hard target.

What limited that before were the protections built in to the real banking system. Stealing a billion dollars and actually getting away with it was hard until cryptocurrencies were introduced with far fewer safeguards.
A similar although not the same project is Bitfocus Companion along with a streamdeck. A large number of us in the A/V production world use it to control a large amount of disparate pieces of equipment at once.

That's a good measure, too. It doesn't even have to count for any viewer, it can be only for the artist – even if they don't ever view the painting after making it.
I really don't blame OpenAI for ethical issues over opening up access to ChatGPT. They're not claiming it's responses are factually correct, and arguably by making it openly available they have done more than anyone else to raise awareness of the risks and limitations of LLMs. We need access to these things to make informed decisions of what are or are not appropriate uses.

Microsoft and Google are a different story, they're specifically pushing these as authoritative sources of information. If we hadn't had access to ChatGPT and the ability to learn it's ins and outs, it might have taken longer to expose so may of the flaws in the Microsoft and Google services.
> What I see from people I know at different companies is that Friday--and especially Friday afternoon--has sort of gotten normalized as a sort of wind down into the weekend day.

> What is difficult about that?

It's not independently difficult per se, it's just mismatched to the way that other protocols often work in a way that, in practise, few clients implement well. Most clients and libraries implement it as if it were request-response and as a result either produce wrong answers or are notably less efficient as you note.

> Every protocol works this way, nothing new.

No? POP3 and HTTP as easy examples are simple blocking request-response. Some do either pipelining or multiplexing with the command-tagging, but don't have unsolicited messages. I can think of only a few other comparable protocols with this paradigm but "every" is just not true.

> of course, otherwise how do you think notifications can work?

Yes? This is indeed _why_ it works this way. I don't know what you're correcting me about. It does this to implement notifications and liveness. We're agreeing.

> Never had any problem with Thunderbird

Thunderbird is one of the better implementers, yes. There are messages that it ignores like "folder deleted" but according to Dovecot https://www.dovecot.org/clients/ it implements IDLE correctly which is uncommon among clients. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Clients for more client quirks. The dovecot config file https://dovecot.org/doc/dovecot-example.conf has a imap_client_workarounds setting for many of these common bugs including "delay-newmail" which disables several of the unsolicited message types until the server is confident that the client is actually expecting to receive something.

In practise, in real life, clients get this wrong. That's all I'm trying to say.

Hacker News always has the well-actuallies but I'm pretty familiar with this and have implemented both an IMAP server and client. I'm not sure what you're trying to "correct" me about.

How does token->embedding lookup work with 1.4T BPE tokens? Since there are more tokens than the 65B parameters it must be doing some sort of interesting thing based on the merge operations. Is it different from what other GPT models with ~100k tokens are doing?

At inference, how many of those tokens are used? (they mention most tokens are used only once during training, so the must be very long sequences.)
If the artist doesn't matter—then if AI can produce the same output, it makes no difference to replace human artists with AI, right?

Universal quantum computing is still gated behind a technology known as a "magic state". Maintaining coherence is but one technical challenge to the implementation of a quantum computer, and while we have not solved it, I think it is likely to be the lesser of the two hurdles. The main problem with magic states is that the larger our computation needs to be, the more pure our magic state needs to be. The claim is that we can take many "copies" of impure magic states, and leverage QEC to produce a single "copy" of a purer magic state. Fortunately, given this, the number of copies we need in order scale our computation to n qubits for n operations is polynomial in n.

The big caveat, however, is that in order for this scheme to work, the impure copies need to have no entanglement between them. These are partial measurements of a larger quantum system which are by definition not maximally mixed, and as far as I know, no one has come up with a compelling physical or mathematical argument why it should be easy to find n separable mixed states like this. In fact, I think the more natural claim would be that this is hard to do, since separable pure states are a measure zero subset of pure states.
In general, when purchasing something for billions, a rational agent would want it to keep working and improve thoroughly and holistically. Destroying things isn't creative chaos, it's organizational entropy and decline. Musk could be even more successful that he is if we more mature and shrewder rather than putting megalomania first. These are, unfortunately, his leadership and business personality shortcomings on display that destroy brand goodwill, employee morale, and overall respect. It's an organizational equivalent of the grizzled drunken uncle spoiling the family holiday and kicking the Christmas tree on their way out.
There’s some logistical issues as some States run the elections so the individual parties can’t pick their own primary dates (unless they pay for themselves which I think they’re loathe to do).

Assuming parties could pick the primary border, I think it’d be most advantageous to pick the States sorted by the absolute value of the win/loss percentage for a given state. That way highly contested States get an earlier say in the process and presumably a candidate that is more favorable in those markets comes out ahead earlier in the process.
I think the context is about joining startups as employees, where the startup pays you a wage from the first day. Of course startups where you don't receive wages in cash are different.
Worker unions have provided housing to their members before.
