> we'd be talking about some other crisis than the "climate crisis."

I doubt that. Perhaps it'd be slightly less acute, that's all.
I have exactly the same. Unlike some friends, I don't seem to get a negative feedback loop to focusing. When I do it, I want more of it - to the detriment of showering, sleep, food, romance, etc. I really like the modelling of "if I train my brain to resist tasks by rewarding it for avoiding them, it becomes harder to perform them".

I was curious as well. Apparently in this context: IT IS “ISOMORPHIC” because it guarantees that the translation into machine code is done in the way closest to the execution target, REGARDLESS OF WHICH IT IS.

Right, but there are known agents that are incredibly legal. I am still trying to imagine the scenario in which making the enemy ineffective was a superior option to dead. I guess the non lethal option lowers the risk of friendly fire?

If nothing else, the double edged sword application of chemical weapons was well known at this point.
I suspect geniuses have a much larger tolerance than ordinary people, plus a much larger memory pool so that they rarely go OOM.

If this were widely adopted, it would do wonders for Emacs. Right now Emacs is unusable in remote terminal connections for many of us, because there is no way to get key combinations like Super-Shift-G to work.
Wow, if those were golden years, my heart breaks for today's teens.

Of the 50 people I finished 8th grade with in the epitome of upper middle class suburbia, 3 of them had died by suicide by the time the rest of us were finishing high school, and they weren't the last.

It seemed like an age where problems existed, but were deeply shameful, deeply hidden, and deeply isolating.
In 1995, the average income in the Netherlands was €33000, and an average house (not any house, anecdotally my parents bought it for less) could be bought for €93750 at an interest rate of 7.71%.

3 times annual salary seems reasonsble to me.
We've known about climate change for at least fifty years now. Every goal we set since then has been "realistic" with considerable effort. Unfortunately we never even attempted to reach them, so we raise the goal by a degree or two every decade or two.
...are you suggesting cars can make conscious decisions? If not, then what exactly is your point?

I would disagree on that, as a hobbyist metal guitarist myself, software like Neural DSP, Bogren etc has made such strides in amp modelling that you can get the same sounds in the box. There are a number of releases I've heard where you simply cannot tell the difference, arguably nor should you bother trying, they sound fantastic.
Latin American oil processing is at an all time high.

Latin America: https://www.statista.com/statistics/961585/latin-america-cru...

US: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=M...

Every government has to think about energy independence, of which oil production is part of that story. Our oil economics are also intertwined with US policy, which renewables are helping undo in the US. That's to say, US society is trying to put a cap on how energy independence involves in conflict either directly or indirectly.

Latin Americas story is different: https://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/polisci/faculty/ross/papers/work...

> Abstract: In Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, oil-producing countries have civil wars at a significantly higher rate than countries without oil. Is there also a link between oil and armed rebellion in Latin America?

> I argue the answer is “yes,” but with an important qualification. In the rest of the
world, oil heightens the danger of both “governmental” conflicts (over control of the
existing state) and secessionist conflicts (to form new states); but in Latin America, oil is
only linked to governmental conflicts. This is not because Latin American petroleum has
unusual properties, but because the region is uniquely “secession-proof”: there have
been no separatist conflicts in Latin America for over a century. I explore two possible
explanations for this anomaly: the region’s long history of sovereign statehood, which
may have caused national borders to become more widely-accepted; and obstacles to the
mobilization of indigenous groups along ethnic lines.

Tldr; instead of getting involved in foreign wars to save your oil supply, it's cheaper to centralize the oppression back home.
I don't think you understand what the word efficient means because what you said about it is certainly untrue. The private sector will almost always deliver a better result as long as you mitigate market power abuse. You are basically saying it is more efficient to deliver services through a public system because said public system failed at mitigating market power. In the rent example a lot of that market power is even self inflicted by said public sector via onerous zoning and permitting regulations that make development only plausible via large, oligopolistic systems.
Already killed its future tbh but yeah it can be worse
While all “Ram doubling” software for Windows was always a scam, the original RAMDoubler for Mac wasn’t.

Before OS X, you as the user had to tell each application how much memory it could use by going to “Get Info” and setting the memory amount.

The memory also had to be contiguous. That means as you opened and closed apps, your memory could become fragmented and you had to close apps to free up contiguous memory. RD fixed this.

Also, if you wanted to enable disk swapping (sic “virtual memory), you had to allocate enough storage space for the total amount of memory allocated. I had 10MB of RAM for my Mac LCII and an 80MB hard drive. If I wanted 15MB of memory in all, I had to preallocate 15MB of hard drive space. With RD, you only needed 5.

The third technique was memory compression.
I mean isn’t the seemingly unaffordability of U.S. housing, skyrocketing student debt, race to the bottom, etc. rooted in the inequality that has festered since 2008, which is why you see articles about how young people are burning out early or even starting to avoid college?
This contributor doesn't appear to know how mmap works if they're claiming the only benefit is sharing data between processes (what? MAP_PRIVATE mappings aren't shared), and that memory is leaked after the process exits.

There are a lot of thorny issues with mmap, and I'm sure there are legitimate regressions with the approach and things to be fixed, but it sure would be nice to see an analysis from someone who actually knows what mmap is.
"The industrial revolution made the production of an instrument like [the piano] possible. Several planks of wood - six I think in this case - are overlaid and pressed into shape by tremendous force for six months. Nature is molded into shape. Many tons of force and pressure are applied, making the strings what they are. Matter taken from nature is molded by human industry, by the sum strength of civilization. Nature is forced into shape. Interestingly, the piano requires re-tuning. We humans say, 'It falls out of tune', but that's not exactly accurate - matter is struggling to return to a natural state. The tsunami, in one moment, became a force of restoration. The [tsunami-damaged] piano re-tuned by nature actually sounds good to me now. In short, the piano is tuned by force to please our ears or ideals; it's a condition that feels natural to us humans. But from nature's perspective, it's very unnatural. I think deep inside me somewhere, I have a strong aversion to that."

this is only true if everybody needs the same services, thus everyone uses UBI for the same thing. In the case of rent this would point to a systemic issue for which cash payments is not going to correct it, but there are a lot of varied needs for which UBI far more efficient than a government program addressing it directly.
I observed this phenomenon for myself these days when using igzip. Depending on the file, it can be up to 2-5x faster than gzip for decompressing files even though neither is multi-threaded. I had to compute a checksum on the decompressed file and compare it the output of gzip to be sure that the fast output is the same as the slow output.
I thought the headline sounded like from an 80s cyberpunk short story!
> so nearly every time I go to print, I need to buy new cartridges! It isn't very fun to spend $60 on ink so I can print 3 pages because my last cartridges dried/clogged up in the last 3 months.

Wait, do you know that most printers have the ability to clean these clogs (by wasting a large chunk of the ink)? You don't really need to throw the cartridge away. This is why I say that printing the rated amount of pages is difficult, since these cleanup operations waste a large chunk of the ink.

In my experience, an installed cartridge does not become unusably dry even after 1 year of total lack of use. That's because I've had all 4 colors installed for almost a year and they're still printing, and they were open & already close to the expiration date by the time I bought them (amazon warehouse stuff)...
> > > memory mapping means that the model will stay behind and eat your memory even after the process is closed

> > I don't think I'm unterstanding this right: You're saying that memory will not be freed by the OS after the process terminates?

> You're understanding it perfectly. The whole raison d'etre for mmap() is the ability to leave stuff in RAM (or swap, albeit if that happens it's completely detrimental to this use case) unlinked from the process itself. Basically it's just storing a file/memory block in RAM which can be accessed from multiple processes.

Wow, does this developer not understand the nuances of mmap().
I’m not in the know at all here, but the original PR wasn’t purely additive- there was code deletion, and additions across a number of files. It seems to change the checkpoint format. The code should be abstracted differently for it to be placed behind a flag.
The issue was with the model versioning compatibility change and someone inserting his initials in the magic number. The optimizations worked great for me on Linux, the first tiem your run the CLI program you have to wait a lot of time, more then 1 minute for a 20Gb model , but the next runs are instant. Maybe some Windows guys are salty that this does not work as great on their OS , if that is the case they should update it to get the performance boost. This are not soem nanoseconds you gain but actual minutes for each run.
Set a timer for 25 minutes. Lie or sit somewhere with an eye mask on. When the alarm goes off, get back to work.

Repeat until successful. Your body will learn that the "30+ minutes just to fall asleep" count against the rest time.

The eye mask tells your brain it's sleepy time, and if you're at the office also tells others not to interrupt you.
Wow. This just made me realize today's 15yo girls were born in 2008.

I think you're probably right in that there's no one answer, but when we expand our thinking to encompass the impacts the Information Age has had on a number of other aspects of society – politics, learning, business, language, the economy – it's reasonable to suspect some correlation.

I feel for the people working in these environments, I really do, because most of them didn't choose to get stuck with an outdated network topology. They have to make do. I don't blame any specific person for the situation an institution or company is in.

However, as an institution, the university should still remain at the forefront. Whether their network can't keep up because of a lack of funding, bad management decisions, or other factors doesn't really matter.

These tickets and questions aren't punishment for bad management, they're a signal that an overhaul (and the accompanying funding) is necessary. Migration plans need to be made, plans need to be written down, a lot of work is going to need doing, and without any signals that the system can't keep up you're not going to get anyone to sign off on such grandiose plans.

Maybe that won't be enough, maybe the network is doomed to survive only by constant patching and emergency fixes until the staff is driven mad and quits, but that's no reason for others to slow down the rollout of modern network protocols.

One time, my wife and siblings had to choose from a number of heirlooms that had be left to them but not assigned. They are living around the planet, and the discussion came up about how to decide the order in which they'd select the items.

I came up with this: Each of them select a different stock market index. On the same calendar trading day, they choose two digits past the decimal. When the market's close, compare the two digits of the closing price of their chosen index to the two digits they selected and then choose heirlooms in the order of closeness.

It worked quite well. They were on board because they could make two selections in determining their order: Market and digits. Two of them could choose the same two digits if they wanted and still have different scores. No complaints.

Not random, but seemed fair to all.
Similar NRI demographic, although I'm on the other side of the planet, and yeah, this thread is just... Bad.

I understood that, but it was accepted. We don't need to cry over the spilled milk, one can re-add the previous model based on the removal PR. No need to push a revert
here mmap is being used for essentially lazy loading

that's it
There are various lines at various voltages. Some are 18k+. In commercial manufacturing may be 13.8k, which is further stepped down to 480 and 220 and 110.

The point is that unless a residence can independently provide for their own electricity every hour of the day, then the generation and distribution will be sized for full load.
I think you have the right facts, wrong (or at least unsubstantiated) conclusion.

Much of California's problems lie in regulatory capture. Housing can't be built because homeowners have experienced great wealth gain and don't want it to be touched (at the detriment of livability for all generations after -- or folks attempting to climb to socioeconomic ladder).

Then you could make a similar argument for social spending on homelessness, which at least from the Bay Area seems wasteful in that it doesn't attack root problems (drug rehab and housing).
Been WFH in Canada for about five years now. Never ever going back.

Before I had kids it wasn’t a big deal. But now it’s such precious time that I cherish. I always thought avoiding the commute would be valuable. It is. But the real value for me is just being seconds away from my kids as they grow up.

I had a singular moment at my last job that sold it for me. I had a stupid meeting that ran until 6. It was completely pointless, serving to compensate for the incompetence of sales and product. I raced home and my 1yo was already asleep. Wife said he went to bed asking where I was. 12 days later I wasn’t working there anymore.

Life is fleeting.
That depends on tenure - if this hypothetical person has been in that position for many years AND has saved a significant part of their income, they may be “rich”.

However, FAANG really exploded in size only recently (and then hit layoffs), FAANG jobs are concentrated in VHCOL locations, so savings aren’t great for all. So while their W2 may look impressive, it’s far from a foregone conclusion that they are “rich”.

To me “rich” implies independence and the ability to stop working 9-5. That doesn’t describe the vast majority of FAANG (or otherwise) employees. There certainly are outliers and success stories, but it’s not the default case.
This is someone angrily filing a revert-all PR due to a performance regression, rather than helping diagnose the issue or make it configurable. Don't bother reading.

It sounds like one person experienced a performance regression as a result of the llama.cpp MMAP changes, and decided to create a pull request to revert all of those changes. While they propose wrapping the mmap changes behind a feature flag / command-line flag, that's not what this PR does -- it just reverts the original commits. It's a "tear it down NOW" reaction rather than a "how can I improve this" reaction.

jart and a few other people in the PR have now proposed a variety of feature-flags or forked versions to address the issue in a more nuanced way.
But stating an opinion as fact is not evidence he thinks there is truly only one theory. It is just how many people talk. Everyone knows he means there is only one theory that he can think of to explain it.
I don’t understand the controversy in this issue. It seems they could have saved a lot of time spent throwing shade back and forth by just implementing a feature flag.

The argument against the feature flag is ultimately more egregious; it’s an experimental feature, breaks compatibility, decreases memory usage for a fair portion of the population while 10x’ing load speed for the rest so very YMMV for an optimization.

In another project this wouldn‘t even be a revert PR but just a PR to feature flag it. Can’t help but notice that more than half the replies on this PR are from people who have a limited understanding of LLMs, admit to it, and are just adding noise because this project is popular right now. First step would be to lock this contributors only so they can get a more streamlined discussion going.
After 55 years and beyond, people get vulnerable as their mental guard gets down. That is why Senior scams predate 'Interwebs' and it is a really thing. It is a massive global industry when it comes to Scams. At the same time we operate in a modern world, where you are expected to carry a 'Smart Phone' and a computer with internet connection.

The place to look for is certainly 'parental control' apps and set-up where you can put enough guards and notifications. More or less acting like a parent to old parent and hone on things based on their usage patterns.

I guess it depends how you define "power user". It's true that I don't write any VBA or use ODBC :-)

On the other hand, I do work (daily) on reasonably sized financial spreadsheets, with complex formulas, which also contain graphs, and use "pivot tables" (although I like the naming in Numbers much better, I never quite understood the name "pivot table"), things like conditional highlighting, etc.

I'm just saying that this isn't as clear-cut as some Excel users make it out to be.

I think the enterprise plan is probably intended for established corporations that already pay out hundreds of thousands per month. As developers we're looking at it from the perspective of like "I want to build X on top of the twitter platform" but from their perspective it's more like "I want to sell access to my database to Pepsi and ESPN."
There is no confusion, nor any indication that Ukraine is an odd one out since we don't know the purpose of this list.

Top 1% of earners != Top 1% of wealth.

The top 1% of earners (doctors, lawyers, dentists) usually get shafted with income taxes while the top 1% rentiers get taxed very little - especially in California (which has very low property taxes).

The rentiers usually try to rhetorically conflate the two - primarily because the 1% of earners are taxed a lot and there is an obvious societal downside to taxing (e.g. dentists) more (we need their skills) but especially because the only societal downside to taxing a rentier more is by incorrectly identifying/taxing rentier behavior.
