Ignoring the licensing issues, there are a few other constraints that would make the model harder to go viral outside of developers who spend a lot of time in this space already:

1) Model weights are heavy for just experimentation, although quantizing it down to 4-bit might make them on par with SD FP16.

2) Requires extreme CLI shenanigans (and likely configuration since you have to run make) compared to just running a Colab Notebook or a .bat Windows Installer for the A1111 UI.

3) Again hardware: a M1 Pro or a RTX 4090 is not super common among people who are just curious about text generation.

4) It is possible the extreme quantization could be affecting text output quality; although the examples are coherent for simple queries, more complex GPT-3-esque queries might become relatively incoherent. Particularly with ChatGPT and its cheap API (timely!) out now such that even nontechies have a strong baseline on good output already. The viral moment for SD was that it was easy to use and it was a significant quality leap over VQGAN + CLIP.

I was going to say inference speed since that's usually another constraint for new LLMs but given the 61.41 ms/token cited for the 7B model in the repo/your GIF, that seems on par with the inference speed from OPT-6.7B FP16 in transformers on a T4.

Some of these caveats are fixable, but even then I don't think LLaMA will have its Stable Diffusion moment.
Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at this and see if it's something I could reasonably achieve.
1. Climate is a long-term average. Long-time averages are much simpler to predict than individual outcomes. You cannot predict the result of a coin toss, but you can be reasonably confident that among 1000 tosses there will be between 400 and 600 occurrences of heads.

2. Scientists, especially young ones, have an incentive to challenge dominating scientific views because that is how you make yourself known in the scientific community. Being known can be transformed to getting the next academic position.

I think the classic sense is when a too many people withdraw, and even though the bank has sufficient assets to cover their liabilities, they don't have necessary cash to honor the withdrawals. SVB doesn't have enough assets, and has been insufficiently capitalized based on proper valuation techniques for quite some time. It's not just a cash on hand issue.

You could say they're both different forms of bank runs, but in SVB's case, they've been essentially legally defrauding their depositors by misrepresenting their capital base. And people got wise to it.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but saying that if someone else wants to make the distinction, I wouldn't quibble.
The schools offer competing services for the consumers. They've all agreed to not compete for certain consumers in the same way. Does that help you? An HOA is not an appropriate metaphor.
> Wildly incorrect. The slave trade peaked around 11% of the UK economy: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-global-...

Thanks for the link, very interesting. Some quotes from it..

"By the end of the eighteenth century, the British part of the Triangular Trade alone incorporated economic activities equivalent to around 5% of the British gross domestic product. If we add the activities in the American plantation complex, as well as the industries in Britain directly dependent upon this (either for inputs of raw materials or for markets for output), the estimated figures show that economic activities equivalent to around 11% of British GDP were directly involved in or associated with the Triangular Trade and the American plantation complex. Activities of this magnitude can hardly be dismissed as marginal to the British economy at the time."

Note that this 11% is only at the end of the 18th century. Just a snapshot of a trade that started in the 15th century.

"The transatlantic slave trade did have intimate connections to several European economies, but the consequences have also been fiercely debated."

They say "fiercely debated", you say "wildly incorrect". Do you actually read the sources you link to?

"One important reason for this focus on Britain was no doubt the publication of Eric Williams’ much-cited book Capitalism and slavery, first published in 1944."

Someone actually wrote a whole book about it! That's how deep the subject is. I remember watching a 1 hour lecture on you tube, where this professor argued that the trans-Atlantic slave trade is actually what made Europe and economic powerhouse. Something about a combination of good timing and location. If you have any alternative theory of what powered Europe's economic growth in the 18th century, let me know. My take, it was not much different from what powered the roman empire and many other economic powerhouses going thousands of years back.

"The assumptions underlying such counterfactual models can be quite controversial. For instance, the American plantation complex might seem unimportant as a supplier of cotton and other plantation crops, if one assumes a very high elasticity of supply of these crops in other parts of the world, and declining costs of maritime transport. In his recent book Empire of cotton, Sven Beckert has essentially argued against making such an assumption. In his view, the coercion involved in the expansion of the American plantation complex was the key ‘that opened fresh lands and mobilized new labor, becoming the essential ingredient of the emerging empire of cotton – and thus an essential ingredient in forging industrial capitalism’."

Another book! This one is more about America though, and the influence of the cotton industry, powered by slaves. Not sure how those GDP calculations from the 1800s you quoted were arrived at, but I'm certain an "essential ingredient in forging industrial capitalism" is not 5%.
Oxford certainly has it when i applied.
Well, javascript is mutable so technically nothing is immutable. But I'm referring to working with React's hooks, where all props and state should be treated as immutable except for refs.
their AAA bond assets suffered big losses, but their loan assets are even worse. there is a big PR effort to focus on the bond losses, but the real shit is the 10's of billions in loans to companies that will never make a profit, and the systemic contagion risk that entails. they lost 15% on 100B of their book, but they are going to lose 100% on 10's of billions (unknown) from the other half of their book.

if all of their assets were AAA and they were only down 15% they wouldnt be a failed bank right now. nobody knows how big the losses really are, but the people they were in business with knew best, and those people pulled their money as fast as they could, so everyone else can make assumptions based on that.
Over the last 24 hours USDC had a low of $0.85 at 3 AM EST to a high of $0.98 at 3 PM EST.

Your understanding is very outdated. Go take a look at some of the things people are doing with LangChain to get a sense of what's possible today and what will likely be possible in the very near future. LLMs are normally used in a zero-shot setting, without any kind of fine-tuning.
HOAs should be illegal as well.
The creators of USDC could destroy their own coins to restore the 1:1 reserve peg. I doubt they'd do it, but it would immediately restore confidence.

Send them to a null address or commit to burning them in software. If they can restore the reserve, they could remint them.

I'm a crypto bear (with modest crypto holdings for diversification), and I think this is an opportunity for these folks to step up to the plate and show they can meet these sorts of challenges. If you can successfully navigate a bank collapse, then maybe you deserve a seat at the table. I'm not holding out my hopes for USDC though.
The resistance if futile. The amount of effort currently going into making generative models like Stable Diffusion or ChatGPT is insane. It's the fastest changing subfield in ML. These models are getting better and better every month, with no sign of plateauing in the near future. I expect decent music and video generation models appearing within the next 2 years. There's no way to stop the progress.
Not sure if they're at that stage yet, but it's definitely possible and been done before for the elegans worm https://github.com/topics/c-elegans

All of which to say, no one cares, and google very likely knows that. Google will only care if enough of their users care. And they will probably operate in a fashion that keeps the maximum number of their users in the "don't care" camp. It's just business.
> then use whatever mechanisms they have to take enough money out of the market to keep inflation in check.

What mechanisms would these be, if not taxes?

The other main contemporary mechanism is raising interest rates, which only works on money that has been previously loaned out at a lower rate, and thus isn't a long term sustainable mechanism for recapture.

> with six slots of DDR2 memory capable of handling 48GB RAM

1) that was a premium motherboard, 2) 16 ram sticks were way more expensive per GB than smaller sticks. I think you have the timeframe about right (2008?), but where I worked we had 1000s of servers built on PC motherboards (cheap) with 4 slots holding 1GB each. 4GB sticks existed but cost a lot more per GB and were hard to find, and our motherboards needed some kind of bios change to use them. We did manage to upgrade a few machines to 16gb and they were useful.

I have an OP-1 that could use similar love on the ribbon cable. pretty nervous to try it though..
>Why? because of how I choose to understand the origin of the 7 note major scale: you take any note (the base tone) and multiply the frequency by 3. this creates a fifth (plus one octave). I'll keep in mind that 'the octave' is defined by multiplying the frequency by 2. then, fit the fifth (base tone * 3) into only one octave (3/2). And repeat 'recursively'.

This is called 3-limit tuning: https://en.xen.wiki/w/3-limit . 5-limit tuning is what standard western music uses: https://en.xen.wiki/w/5-limit (to include thirds as well as fifths) After reducing the ratios to fit in an octave, you get exactly 8 notes (7 if you subtract the octave itself). Note how https://oeis.org/A054540 shows that 7 notes are a good approximation of the ratios, but so are 12 (which shows why creating a 12-note system was an advantageous move, over 11 or 13). Technically in 12-EDO a fifth is not exactly generated by the ratio 1.5, it's slightly flat at 1.498307... but we choose the note closest to 1.5.

> This is the famous circle of fifths, but we all knew that. Finally, after twelve repetitions we're back on the same note, but an octave above. (but why? why stop at twelve? I'm still working through this answer, but it has something to do with convergence maybe? or just the fact that after 12 notes we have now landed within two notes which we 'found' already???)

Suppose we already chose a 12-note equal-tempered system. The closest note to the perfect fifth of a fundamental frequency `f` will be `f * 12th-root(2)^7`, (7 notes out just happens to be close to multiplying by 3/2). The next fifth after that would be `f * 12th-root(2)^7 * 12th-root(2)^7 = f * 12th-root(2)^14`. Going out by a fifth 12 times gets you `f * 12th-root(2)^84 = f * 12th-root(2)^(712)`. But we know that `12th-root(2) ^ 12 = 2`, simply from the definition of 12th root. Multiplication is commutative, so we can group the roots-of-twelve by groups of 12 instead of groups of 7, and we get `f 2^7`. Taking that modulo 2, we just get f, i.e. the same (enharmonically equivalent) note.

Now suppose we didn't make that choice, instead we chose a 31-note system (I'm a big fan of 31-EDO). In that case, we have the same construction. The fifth in 31-EDO happens to be an interval of 18 notes, and similarly we jump around the scale, but this time an interval of one note is `31st-root(2)`, so we have to do 31 fifths to get back to the same note.

This actually tells us something interesting - if we want to form a circle (made out of intervals, that end up hitting the original enharmonically-equivalent-note) to hit all of the notes in our scale the notes we hit must be a permutation of the original scale. It's a little beyond my math to tell you how this works, I think Fermat's little theorem and modular arithmetic has something to do with how it works. Something about how 7 and 12 (or 18 and 31) are relatively prime compared to each other, and it forms a group which generates a permutation.
> and this latest one I only managed to get 1/3 of my prescription filled (and they won't fill the rest of the prescription later if you pick it up, nor will they hold what they have while the rest of it comes in)

You can have your doctor send in a new prescription for the remaining amount. Whether your doctor will for you is another story.

The way it was explained to me is a prescription of say 90 count is -yours- for the month. You get to have 90 in a 30 day period. If a pharmacist can only fill 30 and you pick it up, the rest of that particular script is no longer valid (or something). But you are still good for 60 as long as your doctor will write a new script for that remaining amount.

source: same situation couple months ago or so and a great doctor and pharmacist who understands the situation. I received a 10 day supply and had a new prescription sent in that would not be able to be filled until after that 10 days and only for the remaining amount.
I know this is overly tangential, sorry.. there are xr mechanisms with varying degrees of linearity, molecular 'handednesses', and recently I wanted to try these eye drops to replace reading glasses and stumbled onto this fractional dosage relationship. The last defined a medication's application - that generics vs expensive effects depend on customized level of active components that can produce a completely different drug. The point being that the discount of bulk medication and fine tuning make for the expense and it is still a compromise.

The epiphany for me was those eye drops for reading would be so cheap if I could get it in bulk maximal strength and dilute to arrive at a specific concentration that changed a drug already used for completely unrelated (dry mouth or something) purposes at a slight difference in concentration apparently changes the fluid level in the eyes enough to compensate for age. I recalled all of the times a helpful pharmacist would change other types of prescriptions to avoid the expense of brand label fractional doses letting the patient substitute a common bulk variety and a pill cutter which becomes more difficult with fine granularity - this active ingredient/filler ratio for pills.

So I began to wonder what do they do when manufacturing processes produce more desirable chiralities - what happens to the remainder?

If there is some conspiracy it is probably related to manufacturing processes, bulk availability, and/or capacity for a pharmacy to behave like a custom apothecary, all of the liability that that would entail.. thus the expense of name brand pharmaceuticals?
Its "lying". In the same way that SVB was solvent as long as there wasn't a run.
I thought the gaokao was all that mattered

Would it be fair to characterize most answers as a generally larger appetite for risk? Anybody familiar care to comment?
Deep cloning is almost never the right answer - you'll end up copying _too many_ object references, which is extra work, and that can also lead to unnecessary re-renders depending on what your components are trying to do.

A correct immutable update is more like a "nested shallow update", copying all levels of nested keypaths leading to the actual value you want to update.

If you prefer to avoid writing those immutable operations by hand, Immer is a fantastic tool for simplifying the code by using "mutating" syntax that gets turned into a safe and correct immutable update:

- https://immerjs.github.io/immer/

- https://beta.reactjs.org/learn/updating-objects-in-state#wri...

We even use Immer by default in Redux Toolkit:

- https://redux-toolkit.js.org/usage/immer-reducers
Hence the government protection should be partial. Mostly just making sure SVB's assets are used to lessen the impact of the closure. If that results in Circle getting pennies on the dollar then so be it.
To be fair, this does seem like a step forward wrt gender equality.
Payments are delayed that already were underway because the failed bank didn't actually send the money. So they switched banks and send everything else via JP Morgan so that it doesn't get delayed. They're not switching banks and delaying payments because of that.

> If you're aware of the fallout that will occur when you make a decision, and you still make that decision, it's your fault. They knew what would happen and they said, "Do it".

No, the delay is because of the failing of the bank they used. Certainly, if they had known that this bank would be taken over and not actually execute the orders and just cease to exist, and they still would have said "do it", then they'd be to blame. But they weren't aware that the bank would stop operating suddenly, just like everyone else (including the bank itself, apparently).

> There wouldn't have been a delay if Amazon (or Rippling) hadn't switched carriers (or banks).

Of course there would be. If they hadn't switched, the payments that were in flight when the bank shut down would still not be completed, and additional payments would also not go through until the situation at the bank is resolved in some way or another.

Like, if one plane crashes, and you want some cargo to arrive somewhere, of course you send a different plane, even though it can't arrive at the same time as the original plane. Not doing so would actually delay the whole thing, and that would've been a choice. But that's simply not what happened.

That analogy only works when your gold is obviously worth a lot more than your pizza bill.

For SVB, the knock on the door is more like a loan shark coming by to call in for their return. You have gold under the mattress that is sometimes worth plenty, but it’s value isn’t determined until it sells and it isn’t looking to square up with what’s due.
I agree.

Also, the shortfall is never tiny (else there wouldn't be a failure) not is ever large (else there would have been a failure sooner).

So there is some standardized range.

Not easily that I know of, the best way would be to use a defi application like compound.finance. You can deposit usdc and take a loan against it in another currency. Then you repay the loan later. However, that is just a normal short. The only real way to lever this is to keep depositing the loan money, and taking out more loans which is expensive in terms of fees.
