One thing this scalability bets on is that side channel attacks won’t get better.

Spectre and related attacks already reduced CPU performance.

Shared hardware opens up the door for side channel attacks and hardening against those attacks is going to decrease performance.

I tend to only use esbuild on solo projects. It's simple, compiles JSX and TS, and the documentation is mostly easy to understand. The API also makes it easy to just create a `build.js` script I can call. As a bonus, it also includes live reload and a server these days.

Vite seems like the best batteries-included solution that is still relatively lightweight compared to going all in on a framework like Next.

I feel like the React folks are in this unfortunate position where they have to cater to people differently than other JavaScript libraries do, because to a lot of people, "React" means more than just a JavaScript library. And to some, they've never written JavaScript without React or even without build tools for that matter. I personally prefer the less-is-more approach to learning JS or any JS library (start with an .html file and a <script> tag, work your way up) and even though that may be a healthier way of learning React, it might frustrate more new users who just wanna make a shiny app.
The "coffee-dampened" student was physically injured [1], according to the university. The fact that this act of violence was done on account of disagreeing with the outcome of a sexual assault proceeding does not make it less serious - quite the contrary, the fact that this was retaliation over the outcome of a proceeding makes it far more serious as it risks igniting a cycle of further escalation and retaliation. Would you have been so nonchalant if the accused was found responsible, and he poured coffee on his accuser because he felt the outcome of the proceeding was incorrect? If not, then the accused deserved the same protection from accusers dissatisfied with the outcome of sexual misconduct proceedings.

And these fraternities are housed on campus, as far as I can tell. The university is entitled to impose whatever requirements it likes on social clubs that use university property. And administrators are justified in taking a harsh stance against a category of clubs that have a long rap sheet for sexual assault, hazing, and extreme binge drinking. It would be unethical for administrators to not take action.

As other posters have pointed out these rules are in fact liberal by university standards. Many universities ban alcohol from undergrad social events entirely, others are completely dry across the board.

The traditional approach would be for the frats to move off campus if they don’t like the rules, but that’s not possible because Palo Alto, so instead they’re trying to do culture war special pleading in conservative media.
This isn't about service reps, it's about you. Sometimes you have to look out for yourself. This is hardly being abusive to service reps so they can suck it up and deal with it.
Yes. I am the first author of the latest generation auto-tuner in an open source deep learning compiler :-)

My comment is based on my personal experience: I did lead a 2nd/3rd grade undergrad to add software pipelining support and it worked within 1 month; we did get cutlass-level performance within 100 lines of code specifying the design space.
This is Microsoft SOP. Java? We make C#. Slack? We make teams. AWS? We make Azure. iPod? We make Zune.

Microsoft and Apple are actually quite similar this way. They both wait for market validation then implement and monetize their own solution to their captive audience and let the money roll in.

The gravity law argument based on geographic distribution of traffic, Zipf's Law and Bradford's law all have empirical evidence behind them. That's three. Additionally another version of the same paper Bob Briscoe contributed data from British Telecom usage that supported the same scaling rule.

The second paper that you gave is interesting. Odlyzko was the one who contributed that particular argument. It is right that there are rational reasons to not interconnect. But Metcalfe would imply more of a first mover advantage than we actually see. In social networks we had Friendster, MySpace and Facebook, each of which overtook the other. How could a new entrant supplant the king? Not once, but twice?

Since then new social networks have continued to sprout and succeed. Facebook managed to stay on top, in part through purchasing other networks. One of which (Instagram) is on track to surpass Facebook in revenue.

Now let's look at the 4 papers that you collected.

The first and third have the same flaw. They are looking at revenue over time as the network grew. But the growth of the network is not the only change that happened over time.

1. The Facebook product improved to become more compelling, even for the same users. In part by adding new channels through purchasing other networks.

2. Facebook kept adding new ways to monetize people, improving revenue.

3. People's behavior has shifted to more online over time. Thus it was easier to get value from the same users in 2014 than in 2008.

Because so much has changed, comparing users in 2008 to users in 2014 is not apples to apples.

Next, let's turn to the last paper. I'm in agreement with patio11 that Bitcoin's valuation has been driven by the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Therefore I view most of its valuation as fake. And so am not inclined to accept arguments from that valuation as valid.

And I saved the best for last. In section 2.4 the EU paper argues that Briscoe's law (I think Odlyzko should be credited, but Bob Briscoe is in the EU) is more accurate than Metcalfe's law after you hit scale.

Their argument in effect is a variant of one that was discussed privately before we wrote our paper. Our immediate perception of the size of a network is based on how much of our personal social groups are on it. The value we get from that network is based on the same. Therefore our perception of the size of the network is correlated with the value we get from it. If the network mostly contains parts of groups, you do get something like Metcalfe's Law out of this. But once the network contains a lot of completed social groups, members of those groups slow down how much value they gain as the network continues to grow.

In other words when the connections in the network are a random sampling of the connections that matter to us, growing the network adds valuable connections. Once the network contains the connections that we know matters to us, most of us only benefit marginally from continued growth.
A little bit of research, a little bit of actual useful tasks - I'm interested in summarisation, which alpaca is decent at (even compared to existing summarisation-specific models I've tried)

My other motivation is making sure I understand what offline LLMs can do... while I use GPT-3 and 4 extensively, I don't want to send something over the wire if I don't have to (e.g. if I can summarise e-mails locally, I'd rather do that than send them to OpenAI).

It's also surprisingly good at defining things if I'm somewhere with no internet connectivity and want to look something up (although obviously that's not really what it's good at & hallucination risks abound)

Comparison with GPT3.5 - turbo

Given two numbers provide answer as follows

3 + 9 = 39
1 + 2 = 12
2 + 9 = 29

What is 29 + 49

RWKV :

?

A:

The answer is

$29+49 = 78$

Explanation:

Let the two numbers be $a$ and $b$. Then the sum is $a+b$. Now let the sum be $c$. Then the sum is $a+b+c$. Now let the sum be $d$. Then the sum is $a+b+c+d$. Now let the sum be $e$. Then the sum is $a+b+c+d+e$. Now let the sum be $f$. Then the sum is $a+b+c+d+e+f$. Now let the sum be $g$. Then the sum is $a+b+

GPT3.5 turbo

Based on the pattern provided, 29 + 49 would be equal to 2949.

Explanation:

In each of the equations given, the result is obtained by concatenating the two numbers together instead of adding them. For example, 3 + 9 becomes 39 because we concatenate 3 and 9 to get 39.

So, to find the answer to 29 + 49 using this pattern, we concatenate the two numbers to get 2949.

You cannot assume what will happen in Web 2.0, mobile, iPhone, will happen here. Getting to tech maturity is uncertain and no one understands yet where this will go. Only thing you can do is build and learn.

It has been increasing. In iPhones went from 128MB to 6GB, and there are Android phones with 18GB now.

RAM hasn't been increasing as steeply as it could, but if there's a strong use-case for it, it may happen. Also consider that Apple is in control of the whole chipset and software, so they could implement things like turning the extra RAM on only during ML computation.
It happens the same way if you train a small transformer. It learns to produce words very quickly.

The old APIs continue to be supported, but they may be slower or have other limitations. eg You can continue to make syscalls through int $0x80 if you want, even on the latest x86, but performance will suck.

Not sure why you were downvoted. You’re kind of right about the assumption. Most folks who I know opt for homeschooling did so for religious reasons. I’m unsure if there are others. So, yes there’s assumptions built in. It’s just that I’m trying to get past them.
FWIW the https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news#readme extension does a good job of marking new comment items with a little indicator, although it does lose its mind when dang merges submissions (meaning I'm guessing the "last seen" is per `/item?id=` and not actually last seen by the commentId)

I then have a UserScript to make them more obvious:

window.setTimeout(() => document.querySelectorAll('.__rhn__new-comment-indent').forEach(it => it.style.backgroundColor='orange'), 1000)

Prior to that I had a UserScript that would actually parse the `document.querySelectorAll('.age[title]')` to highlight the "newer than what"
Is the engine 3d printed? Or at least components of it? The only footage I’ve seen of their 3d printing process is on, relatively parts like tanks. That may just be to protect IP, but I would be very impressed if they’re printing and using really complex engine components.
As far as I remember in RNN times, the best models were RNNs with attention. Does this thing has any attention mechanism? If it does, then it has the same problem with the O(n^2) computation where n is the window size. My understanding is that transfers are superior due to the fact that they are much faster to train/evaluate than RNNs.

Even the Intel 13" can be configured and ordered with a max 64GB DDR4 RAM for a total of $240, so am sure that the 16" would be configurable with at least that much.

AMD can be configure for 64GB DDR5 for $320.

Again, that is total $240 for 64GB RAM. Apple charges $800 to upgrade from 16GB to 64GB.

RAM can also be purchased separately from the marketplace[0], or from a retailer of your choice, if cheaper.

> it factually is property

No, works that are copyrighted in accordance with applicable law are by law the private property of the copyright owner. To the extent that is "factual", it's only that way to the extent that we all agree to respect the relevant laws.

But in any case, "intellectual property" is a broader term than that--indeed, as it is used by the capitalists (e.g., media companies) who advocate for more and more expansive and draconian regulation in this area, it is much broader. Capitalists want to claim copyright over particular words or particular symbols. They want to claim copyright over ideas. And they invented the term "intellectual property" precisely in order to try to trade on the implicit (but invalid) analogy with physical property, which is rivalrous, whereas "intellectual property" is not.

All US needs to do is tighten the screws a bit more on US crypto exchanges (hint: like they did today).

BTC isn’t useful for someone residing in US if you can’t get your dollars into or out of it. Centralized exchanges have been the main means of that.

They could make it progressively more costly & difficult to do so or shut it down entirely.

Remember predictions markets were dubiously illegal right up until they got shutdown.

Average Joe consumer and businesses aren’t going to go to the hassle of wallet setup to trade BTC for goods & services, so again it leaves speculation and exiting to USD as the main things to do with a BTC holding.

Just caught your "curtain puller" reference. I have designed a stage lift that travels at 4 ft/s from below stage after a sloat moves 6 ft/s out of its way to reveal 7 performers on stage after a poof of smoke. A sloat is the piece of the stage floor that needs to run down and under the stage to make an opening. I put some beefy metal flags that would only release the lift to go up after the sloat had cleared the opening. A mechanical interlock. No software needed. This was the late 90s and I was already suspicious of bits flipping as the software guys started taking over the electro-mechanical effects. Don't get me wrong. I have been programming since 1978, but I have also been a machinist, welder, underwater technical diver, rope technician, and I build my own CNC machine back in 2001 before you could buy a $300 3D printer or an X-Y-Z table for less than $20k. I have theoretical and practical experience, and red flags go up when somebody (usually a hobbyist or artist's tech) tells me they use Arduinos or RPis for their controls.

lol. If you consider greek oil a valid substitute then you've never tasted actual italian oil. Some exported italian oil was altered by mafia, so you stop using it altogether? What should we do with your cars after the diesel scandal then?

> italian restaurants are usually always providing a bad experience. the waiters are stuck up or even down right arrogant pricks. any alternative is preferential.

Tourist traps generally are. You have to be a pretty naive tourist to fall for it tho, there's plenty of great restaurants with great service.
