Is there anything akin to creating Stable Diffusion embeddings where it can train a very discrete concept that takes up a few kilobytes and use that with the base model?

Such an approach could in theory make it so you spend a little upfront to train more complex (read: concepts costing many tokens) and can subsequently reuse it cheaply because you're using an embedding of the vectors for that complex concept instead which may only take a single token.
Duh. Neither is going to the cinema or displaying paintings in your living room.

Not really. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomerang

Although traditionally thought of as Australian, boomerangs have been found also in ancient Europe, Egypt, and North America. There is evidence of the use of non-returning boomerangs by the Native Americans of California and Arizona, and inhabitants of South India for killing birds and rabbits.

The spillover animals (aka intermediate hosts) for SARS-1 were rapidly identified as civets in a wet market, in less than a year. The animal reservoir that infected the civets were the horseshoe bats, and yes, that took a few years to confirm.

No intermediate host was ever identified as the source of infection in Wuhan. The article you posted regarding minks has absolutely nothing to do with an original source of spillover. It's simply documenting the common pandemic phenomenon of humans infecting mammals with covid, and, wow, the minks infecting humans with the same virus that is already evolved to infect human ACE2 receptors.

You started with an absurd, inverse hypothesis.
The lab that studies bat-borne coronaviruses had absolutely nothing to do with the bat-borne coronavirus that broke out a kilometer away, despite:

Location is 1000km away from the known horseshoe bat populations in Yunnan that are SARS reservoirs.
Emergence was during late autumn/early winter when local bats are already hibernating.
Emergence was in the middle of a cosmopolitan metropolis where the locals don't eat bats.
Chinese Communist Party immediately blocked any investigations and never even pretended to want to restore records that were deleted, despite the prospect of being vindicated by a zoonotic origin being found.
CCP currently, rather than attempt to continue to claim a non-existent zoonotic origin, has now claimed a US-based lab leak is at fault.
Multiple NIH grants specifically mention humanized mouse models with human ACE2 receptors lining air passages, and conducting serial passage of wild-type bat-borne SARS in research being conducted by grant recipient in Wuhan lab. (There was an intermediate host, it was a genetically modified mouse model, and long since disposed of.)

Humanized mouse models can be purchased from any reputable bio supplier:

USB-IF does enforcement... for USB-IF certified cables.

Personally Im super glad there are a world of much cheaper more affordable cables that work quite adequately.

I do wish we could as a society defend ourselves better but certification is an expensive & absurd trust mechanism. If certification were a lower cost, faster process I'd respect it as a social safeguard, but certification isnt easy. For one, it's not one off... USB-IF has to go shopping from time to time in the wild to make sure the goods are still good. It's expensive, but for a reason.

Ultimately relying on centralized trust actors, and using aggressive legalist pursuit to enforce compliance, is 100% against the spirit Im looking for. It has some upsides, but that's obvious legalistic authoritarianism, is the lawful-evil square on the D&D alignment chart. It's what I think the EU is trying to get away from!

So let's talk alternatives!

Personally it frustrates angers & saddens me that our systems are blanketly unobservable. USB-HID spec has really good telemetry for chargers to self-report their output voltage & current (a monitoring task many already perform). Devices ought be able to detect input voltage fairly well (and again many implicitly do, they again just dont report).

Being able to see graphs of output/charger power versus input power seems like a dead simple ask, and the difference between those two is loss. Being able to make whats happening easy to see would let us all help self-police, would let us become smart informed consumers, who know how to gauge the quality of what we have & share that good information out.

It should just be a standard feature in computing that objects extrospect, report; computers rhat are black boxes lack the fundamental "soft"-ness that is computings best & highest angel.
NuGet has always been a bit of a Wild West. Looks like curl was uploaded to NuGet by some rando and not maintained.

In a past life where I had to deal with a lot of .NET libraries from awful enterprisey vendors, it was often easier to pull down versions uploaded to NuGet by 3rd parties than use the official installers. In retrospect this was pretty dumb of me from a security perspective...

I do not have contempt for religiosity.

Here is some evidence for my assertion from "Tibetan Buddhism and Mass Monasticism" by Melvyn C. Goldstein:

> A fourth, and extremely common, type of situation occurred when parents made a
son a monk as part of a strategy for organizing their family’s human resources so as to minimize the likelihood of family fragmentation and land division in the next generation.

> Poverty also was very important in motivating parents to make sons monks. Very
poor Tibetans with many children had two main mechanisms for balancing their income with subsistence needs. One was making one or more sons a monk as the above mentioned case of the nomad illustrated.

I have only done a quick search to find references to respond to you, but I have taken it for granted people knew that monasteries in medieval Europe as well as all around the world were places where younger sons and the children of impoverished people were sent. Primogeniture was a common practice, and it not only entailed oldest sons inheriting everything, but also younger sons frequently being abused. I can search for more references and examples if you like.

Once again, I would reaffirm that just because there seems to be a biological basis for this behavior, it in no way means that there is something wrong with these people- in fact, to the contrary. The development of the mind by monks across religions is a remarkable feat and the jewel of humanity- even if it is born from struggle.

My iPhone also has secure E2E encryption for "Secure Notes" in the built-in Notes app which is probably sufficient for most people.

I think I might purchase this book. I have seen it mentioned on here a few times before.

If you do not mind, how did the book actually help you? Obviously, please do not feel obligated to answer if you are uncomfortable. I personally have found therapy to be nothing more than a substantial waste of time and money with perhaps a dash of cathartic release.

It depends on your definition of 'recipient' and 'delivery'. If you assume that the receiver is a specific database instance (or shard) or a specific data store (on the receiver side), then it's totally possible to have exactly once delivery in the sense that each message sent would end up being inserted into the database/data store exactly once without duplicates.

What if the receiver process fails? How do you know which messages it processed successfully? You can shuffle the problem around indefinitely but it doesn’t go away.

If your processing doesn’t have any external side effects (make external API calls, send emails, charge credit cards, etc) then one option is to put your message queue in a relational DB alongside all your other data. Then you can pull a message, process it, write the results to the DB, and mark the message as processed all inside one big transaction. But not many use-cases can fit these constraints and it also has low throughout.

You don't need e-marking for 3A charging. A non e-marked cable can deliver up to 60W (3A@20V). It must route the CC pin to be able to negotiate a higher voltage (>15W 3A@5V), but this is (spec) required for all USB-C cables.

Edit: I should add that it is possible for a fully complaint combination of devices to not charge at max(sink power, source power), because not all possible combinations of voltage and current may be supported. For example a 60W charger may support 20V@3A, but if the 60W sink only supports 12V charging, it needs 5A and this combination won't support 60W charging. In practice this should be rare though, it would be terrible product design.
Thanks for replying! It's definitely a nice write-up.

You are right that micro-benchmarks are a bit suspicious, but they are better than nothing.

Btw, have a look at https://godbolt.org/z/zMarEnYP5 to see what Clang come up with on her own.

#include<stdint.h>

uint64_t div(uint64_t nlz) {
__builtin_assume(nlz <= 63);
return (63 - nlz) / 7;
}

div: # @div
xori a0, a0, 63
andi a1, a0, 255
li a2, 37
mul a1, a1, a2
srli a1, a1, 8
subw a0, a0, a1
slli a0, a0, 56
srli a0, a0, 57
add a0, a0, a1
srli a0, a0, 2
ret

This uses Risc-V assembly. Just for fun. x86 is also fascinating.

I haven't analysed it in detail. But it looks like Clang doesn't seem to mind multiplication.
> Not sure why ChatGPT will be any different.

LLMs take vastly more resources to train and run than image generators. You can do quite a bit with SD on a few year old 4GB laptop GPU (that’s what I use mostly, though I’ve set up an instance with a better GPU on Compute Engine that I can fire up, too.)

GPT-NeoX-20B – an open (as in Open Source, not OpenAI) LLM intended as a start to move toward competing with GPT-3 (but still well behind, and smaller) requires a minimum 42GB of VRAM and 40GB system RAM to run for inference. The resources times time cost for training LLMs is…immense. The hardware cost alone of trying to catch up to ChatGPT is enormous, and unless a radical new approach that provides good results and insanely lower resource requirements is found, you aren’t going to have an SD-like community pushing things forward.

Will there be competition for ChatGPT? Yes, probably, but don’t expect it to look like the competition for Dall-E.

Yep, it is a motte-and-bailey argument[1]. The motte is that the popular notion of race does not map completely accurately onto the spectrum of actual human genetic diversity, which of course is true. The bailey is that the idea of race is completely meaningless and that anyone who buys into it to any degree whatsoever is a racist. The bailey is often presented using the thought-terminating cliche of "race is an unscientific/pseudoscientific concept".

Are you familiar with principal component analysis? That’s what was used to generate the very clearly clustered charts that you linked to. It’s useful for analysis because it exaggerates the density and distinctness of clusters based on major features. But what that means is precisely that those clusters are not real! You’re mistaking a visual/analytical aid for raw data. A bit like looking at a false-color diagram of the human body and concluding based on it that blood is blue.
