I found article a bit naive. 99% midwifes in 17th century were functionally illiterate (only read to recite in church) and had no access to medical books. Their skills came from veterinary practice, delivering cows, horses, pigs, dogs, kittens and so on. It was all very practical and pragmatic. Reading was used for prayers.

Pictures used on books were more for esoteric and philosophical use. Thats why babies had head proportional sized to adults. Every moron knew babies had large heads compared to their bodies.

The first guy unlocked his car, but drove off in the other guys car, which was already left unlocked.

Said other guy thus found an unlocked Tesla next to where his was supposed to be and guessed what happened, found the document and texted.
> I downsized it to 170x170 pixels and applied a gaussian blur, so that all the detail is GONE. This means it's not recoverable, the information is just not there, it's digitally blurred

Strictly speaking, applying a Gaussian blur does not destroy the information. You can undo a Gaussian blur with a simple deconvolution, which is something I would expect even a non-AI image enhancement algorithm to do (given that, you know, lenses are involved here).

I'd like to see what detail can be "recovered" with just the downsizing, which DOES destroy information.

Aha. Then I guess performance is the only issue. I guess it should run fine on Intel.
But I don't see it adding any detail over the blur. It really just looks like it is boosting contrast a bit on top of the blur. I don't see anything like ridges or defined features appearing.
Over the years I’ve kept coming back to Julia, like what I see, but ultimately end up with a deadline that has me reaching for R or Python. My latest foray has convinced me that the ecosystem is ready for me to double down and make it my language of first recourse for data science related tasks this year.

Precompilation sounds like it improves further on an annoyance (time-to-first-plot problem) that was already no longer much of an annoyance in Julia 1.8x.

> That is absolutely not a library's main goal.

I'd say you're both wrong, and both right: "library" doesn't imply either, in and of itself it's just a repository of material.

Where it leans in its goals depends on the type of library: a national, reference, or research library will likely have preservation as a foremost goal (the first and second especially, but a research library needs to preserve primary and secondary sources no matter how old they are, unless they get punted to a specialised reference library), while a public or academic library will be more concerned with having resources patrons are generally interested in.
It's just nicer I guess. In my country if there's a bank holiday (or two) during a week many people take one or two days of vacation to bridge it to the weekend, or even take the whole week off. There's more "bang for buck" when you have, for example, 9 consecutive days off at the "cost" of 3 PTO days.

The FP16 7B version runs on my Ubuntu XPS with 32GB memory, ~300ms/token. 13B also works but results aren't really good (the model will loop after a few sentences) so parameters probably need tuning.

So far I'm unable to reliably generate outputs in a different language than English, the model will very quickly start to translate (even if it's not asked) or just switch to English.

> how does that work exactly?

I don't know. I don't work at a bank.

But loans aren't typically available immediately - they take time to clear. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that they'd bundle the day's loans (or maybe a few hours at a very large bank) to limit the number of transactions they'd have to make.

> Reality is important, and repeated denials of reality, like yours, are dangerous and can mislead people

What a mix of arrogance and ignorance. My friend, you don't own the reality, neither you have right to baselessly accuse anyone of lying. You don't own the truth either. Stop imagining yourself as saviour of humanity, you are nowhere near that.

> Yeah, let's dodge into a completely different topic.

Don't pretend like you didn't understand the message.

> Except the oil lobby is trying to protect their trillion dollar profits, whereas the climate lobby is trying to protect the planet. These are not the same.

This got me laughing hard. Nobody gives a shit about the Planet - you may want to look at "climate change" scam preachers - they use private jets that emit a lot of so hated CO2 while preaching everyone needs to drive electric vehicle. Just follow the money - don't follow what they preach. To believe all those Al Gores want to save the planet is either naive or stupid. I'll let you pick the category of your liking.

All all those conferences, promos that they do and to which they fly on private jets where flight expenditures cost 50k to anywhere above few thousands - who pays all those expenses you think?

I don't expect any coherence from you, but if someone who will read this and still not convinced it's a scam I suggest to have a look what "climate change" preachers were preaching and predicting 10-15-20-30 years ago and how many of those predictions have happened. I'll save you time - it's zero. But don't trust me, do you own research.

> We are having an impact on this complex system of Earth's climate, and we are destabilising it

You are thinking too much of yourself. Nothing is "destabilising" it, this Planet allegedly existed over 4.6bn years, and likely will exist more.

Congratulations - you have "caught" me on mistype. Glad you enjoyed it. One thing - please don't use "critical thinking" without knowing what that means. Labelling "propaganda", "misinformation", "lies" is exactly opposite of that and you know it well.

One common issue is the images alone are rarely sufficient to tell a story, so you need to collect their context before the owner is gone.

One interesting bit is generalisable knowledge can be inferred from old pictures, but that'd be mostly relevant for specific events, or very old pictures.

Although I guess vacation pictures from e.g. the post-war period could be useful for ecological studies, if their location is known. Things like indoor christmas pictures, less so, even though from an emotional perspective they were undoubtedly dear to whoever took them.

I cannot decide which way is the best one and what to choose: a Kanban board, sticky notes, pen & paper, or simple To-Do Lists?

I save some content in Kanban Board, then I'm missing quick notes I can save with a simple to-do list app. Later I switch to Notion, but finally find it too advanced.

The pragmatic programmer is really keen on code generators. Which is the right thing to do. It's also very difficult to do in practice as the languages that are sufficiently impoverished to need external code generators are invariably bound to build tools that can't sanely deal with them.

Except of course you're made of the actual universe, not separate from it and all of the universe appears only in a shared experience which we seem to refer to as consciousness which you experience directly.

If we humans never existed, what we refer to as the universe, our very shared experience and interpretation of it may not have even happened?

So I think when people say things like "oh we're not special", you might actually receive push back for other reasons besides the fact people have a large ego. Maybe it's because it seems like a kind of unwise suggestion given how little we know about actual experience and what it means to conscious.

Let's say a computer, or quantum computer, or whatever became conscious, would it also not be special? I mean it's a totally subjective statement to make?
"Gusto utilizes a redundant system of leading banking partners to facilitate our payroll processing and services to provide peace of mind for the unexpected." was the interesting part to me.

What It Would Take to Slow or Stop AI
Which is probably well under 0.1% of total companies that failed over the same period.

The thing is failed banks don’t mean depositors lose all their money. The point of banking regulation is fail fast so banks are taken out when they still have 98% of their depositors money not 8%. People with under 250k are made whole and people above that have already been compensated for their risk by higher interest rates.

It doesn’t always work perfectly, but in many cases a failed bank just means people come in on Monday and there is a new sign on the building with little else changed.

Treat privacy like hygiene. People know that they should floss everyday, yet they still don't. However most still brush their teeth every night at least.

With privacy, less-than-perfect is still good too. You can take more precautions, change your settings for the products you use, erase data about you, etc.

The idea is not that you should stop caring, but that you should be pragmatic about the amount of work you're willing to put in.

My intuition for this is that a high dimensional vector with 16bits per dimension reduced to 4bits would be ok if these are effectively low cardinality dimensions and even with 4 bits things can be distinctly mapped into the vector space. It should break down on high cardinality dimensions (say things which are only distinguished in a few significant dimensions & rest being effectively zerovalue).

In otherwords, given a vector of say 12288 dimensions (GPT), a 4-bit dimension, if vectors were uniformly distributed in the embedding space, is a choice space of 16^12288. That's in 4 bits. The 16-bit space is huge. I think serious errors will crop up only if we're looking at items that cluster in a small subset 'd' of those 12288 dimensions. So at some small d, 16^d will result in vector collisions for certain type or category of inputs.
Perhaps they could learn that doing consecutive 50-75 bps rate hikes for an entire year will bring with it a lot of adverse effects in a world where they are expected to hike 25 bps at a time?

Nobody pricing interest rate risk would have priced what happened last year correctly - it would have been considered a one-in-a-million event, not a routine response to high inflation.

For me, I personally have times where I don't like some noises (annoying, etc). My solution at those times is generally to find some music I'm ok listening to (through headphones) and drown out the noise that way.

Given these DNS poisoning attacks come up every now and then, I have a question, and maybe someone here can answer:
My understanding is that this is purely an UDP problem. So... why not just say we'll deprecate DNS over UDP at least for the communication between the resolver and the authoritative server? DNS over TCP is required since like forever (was it ever not required?), so it shouldn't be a problem.

I doubt there's a performance problem either. UDP is probably a bit faster, but resolver-authoritative communication shouldn't be that much as things can be cached.
I have an account with First Republic. Should I panic and desperately try to withdraw all my money?
Good point.

Should be a tractable problem to solve I think -- and the current SVB crisis may provide just the impetus and justification needed to develop such a solution.

There was a post yesterday saying unpaid wages pierce the corporate veil in California. This should be a big enough risk for any corporate big or small to look to diversify the risk of missing payroll due to a single-point-of-failure like SVB.
Probably wise to seek out alternative points of view as well. Or just find an echo chamber to tell you that you did nothing wrong. Both work, kinda!
