>Here [1] is a graph of inflation. We've had increasingly accelerating inflation, especially since 1971 [2]. That's the end of Bretton Woods, or the date that the USD became completely unbacked by anything - enabling the freedom to arbitrarily "print" money.

You have it backwards. Ending Bretton Woods didn't cause inflation. Inflation caused the end of Bretton Woods. If you zoom into the period before 1971, you still see plenty of inflation. If the government wants to stop its deficit that forces it to "print money", it needs to stop its deficit. Forcing the government to give a fixed quantity of a shiny yellow metal in exchange for a green piece of paper isn't going to help with that. All that does is ensure that the government will instantly give up all of its shiny yellow metals.
I think it has access to do Google searches on your behalf.

The results of those searches may be personalized to you.

Therefore, it has indirect access to a lot of your private data, but direct access to almost none.
It's not hyperbole, but I also don't have data to back this up.

I guess I should say I'm counting adults. Everyone who went through mandatory schooling was taught English. Everyone who didn't (immigrated) is more likely to know English than Swedish.

So the only people who know Swedish but not English would be those who flunked out half way through mandatory schooling, or immigrants who knew neither English nor Swedish, and only learned Swedish.

Swedish is not disappearing (c.f. your example in Spain), but basically everyone speaking Swedish is (at least) bilingual.
They knew the war they were entering, they knew their enemies, they knew how they'd get evaluated and still decided to get this model out in its current state, leading to the conclusion: Yes, this is really the best they can do and it's much worse than the state of the art.

In any case, it's a massive marketing blunder, the public opinion formed within the last hours was overwhelmingly "Bard sucks compared to ChatGPT."
Why would it ruin the economy? It would in theory kill any company that makes money from advertising to and exploiting children attention, and that is a good thing.

Yeah, that was unpleasant.

The oil crisis was just over, and the effects were still there.

My master thesis was about a problem that I could only find an NP solution for, but some of the underlying mathematical problems have not been studied/solved in depth yet, so I'm patiently waiting for a solution.
Totally, but this is about what news and media teens are accessing and looking at constantly. In the 2000s, was that really a thing? Even so, reading the paper, watching news on TV, reading website on your desktop or laptop… these don’t follow you into your other activities. And you don’t do that for four hours a day as a teenager. I bet most teens would flip the channel if they sat down and the news was on.

But you can’t just flip the channel like that any more. Now, you’re consuming media feeds which are algorithmically designed to keep them engaged for hours on end, which in turn means feeding them rage-inducing topics.

It doesn’t seem like the negative media itself is the problem, but the fact that phones and social media make it a prevalent part of daily life.
I’m well over 5 years old and this doesn’t make much sense.

What problem does this solve? I mean, we have these kinds of frameworks/libraries for decades now...
There's an original, canonical version of the audio, and the hash of that version goes on chain. That establishes who posted it originally, when, and the exact version. Then any subsequent (potentially doctored) version can be compared with the canonical original. The on-chain timestamp and hash can't be changed after the fact, in the same way that past bitcoin blocks can't be changed (without creating a fork).

It could at least address some kinds of misleading editing. In the political use case, maybe the candidate posts all their event audio and records the hashes on chain. Then they can't change the content of any of it without getting caught. And if someone else posts an edited version, the edit will have a later timestamp, and the candidate can point to their original earlier version and prove that it's the original. That lets everyone else determine which version is the original and which version is the edit.
Switzerland rejected over 39,000 refugees, most of them Jews, and asked German authorities to stamp Jewish passports with the letter J in order to identify them to Swiss border agents. In 1942, it explicitly closed its borders to Jews entirely. Here's the AP News on the subject, since you're not aware: https://apnews.com/article/0be18d0f36c04b86d7592bc6b16f7fa6
Atomic meaning they can be reverted on their own; I'm sure plenty of people make the mistake of making small commits, but not atomic commits.

If your git history looks like a work log, you're not writing atomic commits.

And people should get comfortable with git commit --amend and interactive rebase.
100% agreed. Government bonds are free money given to capital holders for doing absolutely nothing productive. It made sense when the government needed to raise revenue, but with fiat it’s just free money for nothing.

Grammar nitpick: for "which", do you mean "that" ?

Overuse of "which" seems to be a British thang.
Nobody knew it. We might be on the brink of a fantastic future right now.

But, there was an economic crisis, there was a cold war, and there were serious worries about the environment and sustainability (Club of Rome's report). "No future" was the motto.

So, my point is: a feeling of doom isn't the difference that could explain the change in attitude/perception. Phones and social media are very viable candidates, though, given the repeatedly shown effect on mental health.

Probably not very helpful at the scale most people would run this. Even brute forcing the search on CPU gives results in a few ms on small datasets.
That wasn't an AI, that was a "Make the numbers go up" (lexagraphic ordering) system with TAS rewinding for short term bruteforcing.
Can you give an example on how you prompted the model? Your issue is probably related to that, but I would need an example to be sure. I've found the 7b Alpaca model [1] to work surprisingly well! Here's how you're supposed to prompt it:

The post does touch on that. The big counterpoint is that while yes the world is terrible in many ways, your objective lived quality of life depends on what you observe and how you think about it. If you’re more constantly exposed to negativity (and it’s hard to get away from it), you’ll feel more negatively as well.

So your quality of life and happiness can objectively be improved even while the world itself potentially gets worse.
Water dissolves pretty much everything too and yet we build structures that are useful even when it rains. Likewise, all software engineers get through their careers without learning most things. It’s totally fine, as long as they understand how to poke at a leaky abstraction when necessary. If atomic file renames is a performance problem for them, or it’s breaking hardlinks, or one of the several other ways that this would leak on them, then they can go learn what’s going on and update their understanding as necessary. Good abstractions aren’t watertight but rather don’t leak in unexpected and dangerous ways.

I think there's an old joke somewhere in here about designers being unable to resist re-inventing perfectly good buttons for the nth time, so that they can cleanly "style" them.
The cars I've driven in the UK have varied. The only ones I remember for certain are Nissan Micra (indicators on the right) and BMW 3 series (indicators on the left), and the others have varied. My fingers only seem to know which is which when the car is driving, and I still sometimes hit the wrong stalk if the car is stationary.

Compared to putting the steering wheel on the wrong side it seems like a minor point.
I imagine the Fed with its shoes on fire (inflation). On the one hand, it's holding a fire extinguisher (raising rates). On the other hand, it's a holding a gun ready to shoot its own feet (pausing rates to help banks).

How much confidence do we have in the Fed? They failed to recognize earlier that printing so much would drastically increase inflation - even with all the data in the world.

> Most people are critically malnourished, so it holds on to any that it can get.

This is not how chemistry works. The body will use (catalyze) what you give it, but the more reactive substances are used quicker and in greater abundance.

Also who are these people that are critically malnourished? In the western world at least, we have access to all the vitamins and minerals we need just by way of the food we eat even on a relatively poor diet.
I believe people are coming to these with two world views: to some, code is just something you feed into the computer to get a result. This mental model lends itself to getting impressed by these new chatbots and seeing them as a helping hand.

Some other people see code as a way to communicate about systems specifications. This is the foundation of collaboration on complex software products. In this arena, lowering entry barriers and the cost of writing code will reduce quality and introduce complex, hard to debug failure modes.
Help me here, but this makes no sense. DINK households have no children and therefore need less housing and have more flexibility when choosing housing. Perhaps it might impact trendy cities like San Francisco where DINK is not by choice (hence more DINKs) since it costs too much to have kids in a non-kid friendly community.

Third-party CDN usage like this isn’t a best parctice generally if it can be avoided because it involves users need to trust more parties and leaks user data to those sources.

I think it's worth sharing the announcement from DPReview itself [0] just for it's puke-making spin on "We've all just been sacked"

----

Dear readers,

After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.

The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.

Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we’re grateful for the communities that formed around the site.

Thank you for your support over the years, and we hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks as we celebrate this journey.

----

I've been a DPReview reader for many years now. It's a shame to see the site go. But, to be honest, it's been pretty moribund [content-wise] for a while now. Smartphone cameras have swallowed up most of the market for point-and-shoot and hobbyist photography and there's only so many articles you can spin out on the latest eye-wateringly expensive pro-releases or custom Leica offerings.

PS: Why submit AN Other website's announcement that DPReview is shutting down, rather than DPReview's own announcement of same? Y'know "primary sources" and all that.
I think it was some Canadian finance mister, who said some months ago (sorry no reference, it was in some economic forum panel some month(s) ago), my wording from memory:

"We in West cannot control economy and inflation, what we can control is to go on with helping Ukraine, so we will do that."

High inflation is maybe a sign that war is being lost.
one would imagine that a price floor of £5 for a 2L (4.5 pints) bottle of cider wouldn't prevent many people from being able to purchase it to literally save their life. It would however, help people think twice about going through multiple of them a day?

I am usually quite sympathetic to the plight of addicts and the poor regulation and political environment around it but having lived in the UK for years ive only really heard good stuff about this. It's really not a high price point, it cuts out the really nasty stuff only.
As in any other scientific field: you put forward a theory and if there is enough evidence that does not fit the theory it’s debunked.

In economics, "enough" is hard to assess though.
Also, a theory may linger around for a while because it suits the agenda of some people. And I guess many more methodical issues like these.
I guess it depends on how long users are expected to work on the documents/flies, and whether there is some other safety mechanism. Basically: a power outage, full disk etc. corrupting the file at save costs X hours of lost work and for some X you better make sure the app can revert to a known state via a transactional save and/or an autosave feature.

Personally I'd probably always save to a new file even if the amount of work potentially lost is negligible (as in a snipping tool). The cost of doing so is extremely small in development so that if you ever save one customer's file, you probably saved more time than it cost you to implement transactional file writing. It's a few extra lines, if you opt out of the more complex scenarios (E.g. you can't make atomic renames to move if the target is a network share).
The attention implementation is in a way that the memory scales quadratically with sequence lengths. Overall, this is still a small factor compared to just the model weights, but at some seq lengths, this would dominate.

By using flash attention, you can get memory requirement down to scale linearly with sequence lengths.

I'm taking up your offer: please show me. It's clear that you have enough knowledge about it to support your argument, and that I don't even know where to look.
There's a better way: type

vim $(fzf)

but don't press enter. Press tab instead. The shell will expand the $(), which will run fzf and let you choose a file. When you've made your choice, fzf will exit, and your choice will be written in place of the $(), so you can see the result before you run it. It works with any command, not just vim. It's particularly useful when doing multi-selects. And if you press ESC then nothing gets written.

I've only tested this with zsh, not sure how other shells behave. And you may need to alter fzf's default command or pipe something into it.
If he'd said "we cannot control the weather, what we can control is helping Ukraine", would a subsequent rainy weekend also maybe be a sign that the war is being lost?
This looks good. Is the training data in the repo itself?
Thanks for the suggestion, but for my fun small experiment, FAISS was more than enough.
Sounds like a bit of a cop out. Governments certainly can control all of the above, but it means making significant adjustments to either spending or taxation, both of which tend to be unpopular changes.

The war in Ukraine will turn into a rounding error as Russian gas is replaced by alternatives.

Probably not. The size of the QE has been too big, and more mistakes have been made but that's only natural. What annoys me is the fact that the CB's feel the need to keep lying about this. The whole sticking "transitory" story, while no one in their right mind thought the inflation was transitory (at least for a short period) is the best example but there are many more.

> where we used Gantt charts and had a dedicated project manager

I'd argue that the dedicated project manager was much more important for success than the Gantt charts.
You're essentially asking why people ride bikes when they can just pop on shoes and walk instead.
To add to this, the test ID pytest prints when a test has had a failure/warning is the same form you can call with pytest to run the test. For example, let's say pytest outputs this:

=============================== warnings summary ===============================
tests/parser/test_expressions.py::test_complex[+inf+1.23e7j-(inf+12300000j)]

You can run just that particular test (with that particular parametrized input) with

pytest tests/parser/test_expressions.py::test_complex[+inf+1.23e7j-(inf+12300000j)]

Show HN: ChatLLaMA – A ChatGPT style chatbot for Facebook's LLaMA
ChatLLaMA is an experimental chatbot interface for interacting with variants of Facebook's LLaMA. Currently, we support the 7 billion parameter variant that was fine-tuned on the Alpaca dataset. This early versions isn't as conversational as we'd like, but over the next week or so, we're planning on adding support for the 30 billion parameter variant, another variant fine-tuned on LAION's OpenAssistant dataset and more as we explore what this model is capable of.

If you want deploy your own instance is the model powering the chatbot and build something similar we've open sourced the Truss here: https://github.com/basetenlabs/alpaca-7b-truss

We'd love to hear any feedback you have. You can reach me on Twitter @aaronrelph or Abu (the engineer behind this) @aqaderb.

It’s very hard to tell the difference between both your comments and conspiratorial ramblings (psychopaths have an unnaturally high alcohol tolerance?), hence the flagging and downvoting.
