This was a non-issue with class components.
There is nothing impossible about a Jurassic park in terms of laws of physics though. It's a matter of getting the right materials to recreate dinosaurs.

Same goes for cancer cures. I'm not sure if there are physical limitations preventing a room temp superconductor.
Seems easier to do it the normal way. If a properly constructed prompt can make chatGPT go nuts, so could a hack on their webserver, or a simple bug in any webserver.
It's just another option, you can use the laptop, or repurpose that mainboard after an upgrade and keep the screen/etc.
You're better off placing your bet on Russian and Chinese hackers, crypto scammers than a Joe Shmoe. But read https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/the-llama-is-out-of-the-ba... - there's no noticeable rise in misinformation
If you say Louis Rossmann 3 times after saying Apple you'll get a long list of anti-consumer practices.

The issue with their charging ports being changed frequently and being non standard. They even tried to abuse the USBC standard just so they could get their charing cable lock in.
Thank you, glad to hear the docs worked well! Let me know if you have any feedback.
We were promised a 20-hour work week in response to advances in technology during the Industrial Revolution. Didn't happen. There's always someone hungrier, more ambitious who will work more than you.
That's not incompatible with this conception of souls. A sort of simple animism is fully compatible. A computer has a soul the way a rock has a soul: it manifests rock-ness in some way that is both unique to itself and different from what would be possessed by that same material as a pile of gravel, or lava.

This is so different from the kind of soul a person or a forest has that it's not an extremely useful grouping in a lot of ways. But it's not a contradiction and there are cases where it is useful.
>It never, ever means renting bare metal.

Weird, in my company where we are doing the opposite migration (from traditional datacenter where we manage the physical servers to Azure) this is exactly what we mean and say and how we describe it

We talk about "our datacenter" when we really mean racks of servers we rented from Insight, and we say "the cloud" when we refer to Azure. We've never actually had our own datacenter meaning a building we own and manage the entire physical plant of

Almost no one means it that way. Even Twitter is probably leasing colocation space in the "their own datacenter" category vs. GCP and AWS. The evidence is in the fact that Elon was able to just arbitrarily shut down an "entire datacenter". Or that 37signals was able to just arbitrarily move into "their own datacenter" on a whim
Privacy.com offers such a thing if you’re interested.
I recall reading Next docs and stumbling across features that are Vercel-only (like something about responsive images IIRC). Vercel being apparently their commercial thing, it put me off.

I'm Naveed, Creator of the Founder Mental Health Pledge (http://www.FounderPledge.com). I'm happy to share that Y Combinator has just signed the pledge!

The pledge aims to destigmatize founder mental health and treat it as a business expense, including therapy, coaching, group support, and more.

YC is an incredible organization that has always supported founders deeply and we're honored they have joined the pledge.

Would you help me amplify the exciting news that YC has joined the pledge?

Lastly, if the pledge resonates with you, I would love to have you sign it as a startup leader (many YC alumni, including Brex, have signed).

Thanks so much for any support in advance.
It has had features removed.
I think of it as roughly equivalent to the subconscious mind.
I remember everyone being excited about it suggesting searches on the address bar and suggesting websites in it you had never previously visited. Every other browser only autocompleted addresses you had visited before.
You are right.

Being illegal didn’t stop Uber, nor Airbnb, nor a bunch of other companies and services.

If you grow fast enough, the growth becomes so valuable that no one really wants to (or maybe can?) stop you.

If you are small, nobody cares.

Ask Sam's AI to do it for you.
We....do use kernels and kernel generation in the ML field. Every day. I'm confused as to a few of the points made here, unless the first sentence is meaning '...doesn't use that many hand-written kernels'.

All of the convolutions we have run on kernels, some pre-built and customized/chosen from a list based on performance, and some dynamically generated. PyTorch 2.0 for example decomposes and fuses operations, then uses OpenAI's Triton to dynamically generate a custom fused kernel that tends to be very efficient.

There are still hand-written kernels, even, Flash-Attention and the Memory-Efficient attention papers both caused huge leaps forward because they manually went through a lot of the inefficiencies of naive matrix multiplies for attention w.r.t. the hardware design and optimized it quite a lot.

I think generalized kernel generation though may have more life in it than you might suspect! It is a fascinating field and I do not know nearly enough about it. I hope someday to be able to write my own Triton kernels/get to know how it integrates as a dynamic compiler for PyTorch code. We certainly live in wild times. Crazy indeed.
The real teams are not trying to make the best experience. They are actively trying to not do so for the sake of advertising probably. But that is just a guess.

There are no reasonable alternatives to signal. Investing in signal despite reduction of ease-of-use in exchange for a better privacy stance is probably the best thing you can do for privacy. Messengers benefit greatly from the network effect. Every person who refuses to use other platforms is a person who brings others to the messenger.

Telegram is both owned by Russians and run out of an oppressive country.

Apple has shown a desire to scan all your stuff. Google is google.

Facebook/whatsapp are obviously corrupted by corporate interests and un-trustable.

LINE/Kakao/WeChat/etc probably aren't much different than FB.

Matrix is not operationalized and they have a security/privacy model that is a bit too complex for me. I'll start believing there might be something to matrix once it's referred to as element (how people use it) rather than the protocol (said affectionately: what nerds care about).

Signal is the lowest effort required to use app that does the right thing. Signal optimizes for low effort and that is a major competitive advantage. Signal is still the best.

Forcing people to use a different app for non private messaging is good from a security and privacy point of view. Expectation: Using signal is private. Reality: Using SMS through signal is not private. This change makes expectations better match reality.
Given that there's just more room in the 16", I wonder how hard it would be to just build an adapter board (and some 3d printed scaffolding) to just mount an actual lenovo thinkpad replacement part...
I don't go on there much these days anyways... but if they remove "old.reddit" I just can't justify going on there at all.

More space is generally a good rule of thumb for UI/UX but when the "value" of the site/app is being able to grok through text fast, a "mobile-like" UI is awful.
I think I'd be fine with smaller games that I could make for kids in my family but that also requires some time investment. We're looking for 30-60 hours of work, even if it's a simple game.

I wish game development was as easy as web development.
The article is obviously not proposing a strong suggestion. It even seems to create a case against bleach and alcohol which are least risky and probably very cheap.
Yes this is a real problem!

I am not able to use my reproduce on Chrome/FireFox/Safari anymore. Not sure how they are doing it. If you create a host `lindas-iphone` does it work on fingerprint.com ?

If so they found a new way, I can try to figure that out and fix it.
As good Gpt seem to be, isn’t this a low bar for AGI?
As a mostly backend java developer and occasional frontend developer: every spring boot backend looks mostly the same, but every react frontend seems to look and work completely different. Sure, maybe there's a different library for db access or messaging or whatever used on the backend, but the general patterns are the same. Since React doesn't have any of the other pieces required for an app built in everyone glues together a hodgepodge to solve the same problems.
Now think of the current generation of AI programmers who were born after the Cold War ended, who don't understand Dr Strangelove.

Shouldn't be (I'm on the team). All Next.js features work out of the box when using `next start`, either when deployed self-hosted (like a Node.js server or a Dockerfile), or when deploying to a platform like Vercel. We have documentation and examples for both types. This includes the image component, which automatically optimizes images for you.

I completely agree. I have noticed this over the last few years in trying to understand how my own creative thinking seems to work. It seems to me that human creative problem solving involves embedding or compressing concepts into a spatial representation so we can draw high level analogies. A location search then brings creative new ideas translated from analogous situations. I can directly observe this happening in my own mind. These language models seem to do the same.
i.reddit.com is giving me a mobile website right now but never having seen it before, I don't know of it's new or old. It's reminiscent of IOS 4.
Yes!

Some projects are stuck for years trying to implement this. Firefox for example.

Chinchilla is aimed at finding a cost-performance tradeoff as well, not the optimal amount of training. If cost is no barrier because it'll be used forever, then probably there's no amount of training that's good enough.

why does this matter when we have cloud computing and high speed mobile internet? why does it need to be local
No that's not right. It's not that all the countless departments and agencies can go to the federal reserve or congress whenever they need more money and it will write them a check. I mean in aggregate that's vaguely how it goes, but there is never enough money to spend at any given time. If there was a gigantic cache of money, they would be unable to help themselves. Why do you think the CIA sells drugs and weapons?

It's not a couple of greedy dudes at the top running everything and telling everybody to waste money. It's systemic from top to bottom.

Companies like "ShareMyHealth" have an excellent grift going, selling tools to implement pointless COVID injection mandates to soothe the irrational anxieties of software engineers who believe it will somehow make a difference in whether they catch a bad cold at the conference.

This is also good for people like me who have plenty of laptop ram and SSDs we can’t do anything with. I’ll be checking out the AMD main boards!

Also, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Framework have basically given us what we’ve always wanted in a laptop. Just say thanks and buy one the next time you need a laptop.
That tracks.
Running models is one thing, but surely lots of power will remain with those who have the capital/hardware to train them?
No, RLHF only helps the model to align to human preference
I can say that this was not Amazon.
It's not that; or not only that. For a while scrolling on my laptop happened at ~2 FPS. Granted, my laptop is not very fast, but plenty of fast enough for compiling stuff and even some 3D games and it was slower than any other website I've ever used by a considerable margin. I can't be bothered to check what the performance is like now, but for a long time the entire thing was slow, janky, and objectively just didn't work well.

libredd.it has gotten the hug of death now.
That 80:20 rule when it comes to LLM is more like 30:70.
Only about 30% of the code it generates is useful, and that too after you change it to an arbitrary extent, nearly 70% of the time.

On the other hand, if you are following along with some Udemy course, it’s pretty good at producing the exact lines in the video around 80% of the time. :rofl_emoji:

How on earth are solo indie devs outperforming entire well-paid teams?!

As the classic saying goes, "well, there's your problem!"

Work expands to fill the available capacity, regardless of whether it's beneficial to others besides the ones doing it, because those who are being paid will always try to justify their existence.

The "solo indie dev" is, just by virtue of being limited in capacity, not going to add complexity where it isn't absolutely necessary, nor spend countless amounts of time on redesigning something that already works well.

Over the years I've rewritten a lot of internal sites (after the relatively large teams responsible for their maintenance were cut) and turned them from huge monstrosities that would definitely require a large dedicated team to maintain into small, fast, simple ones which could almost be treated as a side-job.

> Well what they can do is make longer chains and double-spend a lot, undermining trust in the Bitcoin network and making BTC plummet in value. The mining rewards would then not be enough to mine it.

The economic costs of performing such an attack is extremely expensive: It's why despite the "Oh, they can just double-spend & make it go to 0" rhetoric, this attack is too costly to launch against BTC - The amount of hashpower needed to create long chains of *valid* blocks would require deep investments into ASICs, on the order of billions of dollars.

> What annoys me is this is just further evidence that their "AI Safety" is nothing but lip-service, when they're clearly moving fast and breaking things. Just the other day they had a bug where you could see the chat history of other users! (Which, btw, they're now claiming in a modal on login was due to a "bug in an open source library" - anyone know the details of this?)

I am constantly amazed by how low-quality the OpenAI engineering outside of the AI itself seems to be. The ChatGPT UI is full of bugs, some of which are highly visible and stick around for weeks. Strings have typos in them. Simple stuff like submitting a form to request plugin access fails!
>Law enforcement officers were acting on a warrant that stated probable cause existed that drugs and drug paraphernalia would be found on Foreman’s property and that trafficking and kidnapping had taken place there, authorities have said. Those suspicions turned out to be unfounded, though, and the raid failed to turn up probative criminal evidence. No charges were ever filed.

>When cash seized during the raid was returned to Foreman, it appeared that hundreds of dollars were missing. A subsequent review by the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation determined that deputies had miscounted the amount seized during the raid itself.

It's disappointing that the AP doesn't even mention any of that, just a mention that some money was miscounted.
There's is no user-friendly solution, but I don't see why it would not be possible to send money to/from a -say- Kraken wallet to a wallet used to buy/sell sexual services from an app. It's just a bit of hassle to transfer.

Not including the on-ramp from fiat to crypto inside the app would solve the issue, I would think.
But what you are saying is that all economic activity is a roadblock.

The division of labor into software developers and non software developers isn't any different than farmers vs non farmers or any other profession.
Noticed a couple of strange annotations right on the front page. First one was "pony cartoon" which I guess is a pony car in a cartoon style, but it is such a strange label. The other weird one was "airpods max" but the model was for a large pair of studio over the ear headphones. I don't have a lot of confidence for the annotation accuracy.

> Calling that "stepping outside" is just dishonest.

I don’t think it’s dishonest. There’s two main phases in react, render and commit.

Render is interruptible. For example when a new event like an interaction comes in, the in progress render might get chucked out and restarted with the new information.

Commit isn’t interruptible. It’s a sync phase. This is where all the effects run, and the purpose is to take the new state from the render phase and synchronise it to the external systems. Aka cause side effects.

The useEffect hook running in the commit phase, does let you step outside of the react framework. It lets you safely interact with external systems. If you tried to do any of that in the render phase, you risk getting cut off halfway, or doing things out of order.

> React is not a "pure view library" that you have to integrate with state management.

A view library without state management would be a templating engine right?

> It makes you handle the extremely impure chain of (route change, component "mounting", data fetching...), all in the rendering code.

It lets you define how to respond to those changes in the render phase, but they aren’t applied until the commit phase.

And that means you can wrap up the complexity in well tested components that provide a simple API.
I literally said save it for the companies that deserve it... Did you fail to read my entire comment?

A decent person cares about being decent towards other human beings.
Maybe, but I would avoid throwing around quantum mechanics here.
The nervous system is generally not a quantum system (it is big), and while there is a ton of chaotic fluid stuff going on (it's all ions), everything we know about nervous systems suggests that they spend a decent amount of resources building in redundancy and eliminating (non-quantum) random events.
What is the alleged bias? Anti-cop? Anti-home invaders?
OpenAI is, seemingly, trying to have it both ways: on one hand, they use warnings about the dangers of AI to justify their existence and practices such as keeping models closed, etc. And on the other hand, they're rushing towards commercialization in order to beat out their rivals.

It's a bit of a BS act. Either it's bad and we should slow development way down until our frameworks for dealing with it catch up, or it's not going to turn us all into paperclips.

(I'm one of those boring folks who think there's a lot of risk but not in the paperclip sense but in the "when we use tools we understand poorly, we are likely to get outcomes we may not desire in terms of fairness, trustworthiness, etc.")
Is it still worth learning flutter in 2023?
Flutter’s popularity is expected to remain high for a while as more and more companies are adopting it to build their mobile applications, including top-tier companies like Alibaba, Tencent, BMW, and Google itself. So, learning Flutter in 2023 could be a valuable investment for your career as a developer.
I'm not an expert, but I believe it only saves memory in the final model, after training is done, by merging the low rank LoRA wrapper matrices with the original weight matrices.

For example, if an original layer has N inputs and outputs (an NxN weight matrix) LoRa adds a 16xN matrix before it and an Nx16 matrix after it, trains only those new matrices, and finally multiplies all three matrices to get a single 16x16 matrix.
