What is the contrast/brightness like with these? I've always wanted one for working with two screens on the go but the ones I've seen in public never seemed to get bright enough.

In a cafe or other bright environment they seem to reflect everything around them similar to the way my MacBook screen does which makes it hard to see anything.

I'm speaking only from limited time seeing them from afar though--I've not actually sat in front of one to use or test out in person.
Do you have a specific model you can recommend? I searched a brighter one out especially (300 nits), read reviews, etc. Paid 200€. What I got absolutely sucks, definitely not 300 nits, glitches half the time I try to use it, doesn't remember my settings. When I finally got around to return it, I discovered the company no longer exists lol.

"Author here..."

"Tragedy of the commons...We're talking to a group of people who live inside scientific papers and jupyer notebooks."

"My change helps inference go faster."

"The point of my change..."

jart was working on a malloc() approach that didn't work and slaren wrote all the code actually doing mmap, which jart then rebased in a random new PR, changed to support an unnecessary version change, magic numbers, a conversion tool, and WIN32 support when that was already working in the draft PR. https://archive.ph/Uva8c

This applies to non-religious people with their ethics/morals/facts/etc as well.

As with faith, sin also comes in many forms, from a semiotics perspective. But, one is probably best of not getting into too much detail as it can interfere with living one's best life (of which high self-esteem is a crucial component).
My original explanation wasn't that good and yes, I conflated the espionage act with how this situation would be handled (by the DOD)

https://www.cyberdefensemagazine.com/data-spill-an-everyday/

This is a better summary. At the start, everyone's phones would likely be confiscated and, I would think, destroyed, if they were discovered to have classified data on them. However, if the data was in the cloud it would be an even bigger deal.
Doesn't seem to work well for music scores :(

Tangentially, I haven't been able to find any software which has reliable OCR for music scores; they tend to be just bad enough as to be useless. Was curious if any recent AI developments could be applied to this, but don't have the expertise to look into this myself. If anyone has any thoughts or wants to look into this, please feel free to email me! (link to my website in profile, which has my email)

This is just an artifact from the research community, who tend to use anthropomorphic terms like this as efficient shorthand.

And TBH this is part of a bigger common pattern: students/researchers write all this stuff with the goal of turning in papers, but the code/terminology/whatever runs into issues when its usage blows up and bleeds into the real world.
It's also the origin of the integral sign! (Mentioned on the Wikipedia article.) There's a nice accidental parallel between sigma notation (the discrete, "angular" summation) and integral notation (the continuous, "smooth" summation).

Another s fact is that Greek has lower case σ and additionally the variant ς that only appears at the ends of words, which is very Latin-s-like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma

Racism and xenaphobia of the native population has very little effect on migration if the reward for the migrants is enough.

If a "developed" country wanted to stop migration they would work to raise the living standards at the source. There is less chance of that happening than removing xenaphobic behaviour from the natives however.

Or the "developed" society becomes more brutal than the place the migrant are fleeing from, so they stay away out of fear.
You underestimate college students because that is exactly what we did in college. People went to their doctor, faked hyperactivity, and were given adderall which they then sold to other students. I'm sure your ADD is horrible but try telling someone taking these drugs to stop. They won't. They depend on it too much and it's become part of their personality, and their belief that it is what they need.

Just. Like. Oxy.
The big difference is that this preprocessing doesn't require a reversal step. JPEG's DCT requires an IDCT (and chroma conversion etc.), which the client needs to understnad and know about, while this merely introduces controlled noise that happens to please LZ compressors.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on the 5AM start of the day.

I’ve found the same for myself, if I want to feel solid about my day, I need to get up early and exercise and figure everything else out from there.

I absolutely hate it, but I can’t deny how much better I feel. I’m hoping that one day my brain will flip and I’ll genuinely enjoy it, but it is still very much a need and not a want.

Everything after is still gravy!
It sounds a little bit of a conspiracy because it's rooted in misinformation.
Very unlikely you'd face any legal action for usage of anything. If you share it, then it becomes less unlikely.

Edit: Also, judging by a comment from the team in the GitHub repository (https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/issues/86#issuecomment-14...), they seem to at least hint about been in contact with the llama team.

It is hindsight bias.

You are explaining the observed safety record of Tesla being on top for safety by appealing to them being inferior and reckless. You are explaining Tesla causing a greater reduction in accident death than Waymo by them being more inferior and reckless than Waymo.

You are not explaining the evidence with your theory.

Your theory doesn't even reflect reality. Google invested in Tesla and in Waymo. Google did both things. Google didn't make the right call. They made both calls.

I already mentioned that comment when I said one mentioned inductive heating.

What is it that you are trying to say? Inductive heating has no benefit over regular resistive electrical heating for heating a house, because it is already resistive heating. For a stove it just transfers the resistive heating to the pan directly instead of using an iron coil burner first.

All you did was make a sarcastic comment but there is no context where it makes sense and it's even more bizarre that you think other comments help it make sense.
More context would be helpful. Are the model identifiers listed in the README the current top-spec machines, or older ones, or discontinued? What does "open firmware" mean in this context? Is it possible to boot these machines free of proprietary blobs entirely? I was under the impression that's not strictly possible given that the Intel ME needs at least the minimal/neuter/HA firmware blob to not forcibly power off the system shortly after boot.
…that is borne by Not The Entities Operating It. Which is a real problem when we’re talking about, at best, 300% premiums over the competing power suppliers. And at worst: $12-digit cleanups.
Usually if I want code from the GPT family I always add "Just show me the code, no extra words or explanation" in the end of the prompt, and it works 99% of the time.

Edit: just finished the conversion of Vicuna myself now and been doing some light testing, seems to work in ~80% of the cases for it, not as high success-rate as with GPT for sure. Probably there is a better way of structuring the prompt for Vicuna.

Couldn’t imagine doing this, purely considering the implications of going to bed with the sun up and offsetting my schedule to accommodate a commute that early.
Okay, dumb question from someone who rides a bike but is not a "cyclist."

Road bikes have a pretty high tire pressure, to the point that the tire itself basically offers no cushion at all, on it's own. Why are these tires pneumatic at all? Why not wrap a rubber donut around the rim and call it a day? I'm sure part of the answer is weight, but surely this can be reduced either by making the rubber relatively thin, or using some sort of hard closed-cell foam underneath the rubber layer?
Earning more money over time is a skill, one that people learn after they are born and begin participating in the economy.

If saying something was true was all that was required for it to be true, we likely wouldn't need nuclear weapons in the first place.

This isn't to say that there was an incident of course, I am just pointing out a rather absurd aspect of our culture.
How China is winning the race for Africa’s lithium
Well, that's certainly a popular opinion lately.
I suppose, but anecdotally I was told I have ADD by my family physician and was prescribed various stimulants including adderall and ritalin. I only stopped and got on a patch based medication when I was losing weight because of the amphetamines destroying my appetite and I was already a skinny bastard. The only difference I felt on the medication is that I was methed up. This could have been a misdiagnosis but the tests I was given that led to my diagnosis were frankly bullshit. Looking back it seemed incredibly easy and 'hand wavy' for the doc to just shut up the parent and schools and write up a prescription to 'solve the problem'. In my eyes, the only problem I had is that I thought school was a meaningless chore. Should we make children take meth because they don't like the system they're in?

> they could affect that meaning very easily.

Not using phrasing thst has already been tested in court is easy, but fraught. If someone sues you because of a reasonable thing you did to display a document and you have this phrasing. It's open and shut because someone else has already litigated it and so there's legal precedent. If you use different phrasing and someone sues you, there's a greater chance you'll have an actual drawn out court case to convince a judge that your phrasing means what you wanted it to mean. Remember, the meaning of words and phrases in a legal context can differ almost arbitrarily from what they mean in a conversational one.

As a business owner that just wants to get on and provide a service that displays a pdf you got sent, which do you go with, the one that lets your resources go to providing the service you intend to provide, or the one where there's a greater chance your resources will get tied up in a legal battle for the sake of making the terms almost no-one reads anyway a little nicer?
That's amazing and an insane amount of work! I'm just as amazed at how Chris Sawyer wrote Transport Tycoon entirely in assembly as well though I don't believe he did it in the same amount of time as Wertich.
Regardless of you saying it happens "in many areas" I am saying it doesn't happen "everywhere" as a separate point. Yes, it happens in many areas, and in many other areas it doesn't happen. These things aren't mutually exclusive. Fuck, tell me more about people "misunderstanding intent".
What’s the big deal? The definition of ADHD is extremely fuzzy anyway. Why not just let whoever take them that wants them?
There are many people who don't understand that AI can be a genuine threat to society. I've heard people like Steven Pinker claim that it's fanciful thinking that AI could pose a threat.

I think these people have a classical view of AI, where an AI is a kind of expert system that follows a preset algorithm and kind of does what it's told in a predictable manner, but just does it in a very efficient and "intelligent" manner.

I don't think these people appreciate that the current trend in AI is not to create well understood expert systems, but instead to create systems trained on human data, including all of our hate, violence and also respect, love and compassion.

Perhaps for AI, love, compassion and respect will win out, and we can manage to continue keeping AI aligned so that it doesn't pose a threat to us in the future.

But maybe we can't.

But if you actually did the experiment, that's not what would happen -- what would happen is you would learn French!

Because that's easy for a human, and the mathematical approach you describe is something like impossible.

Even for a machine, the mathematical approach is going to be impossible in practical terms as soon as input gets longer than a few sentences. To build any sort of probability table conditional on more than just a small number of tokens becomes astronomically big.

The intuition I'm trying (not very successfully) to get across is if you did this with a human, the human would end up learning French.

So Consider that as an existence proof that even if you "train to predict" you can still end up with actual understanding.

Beyond that, (and while this is less certain), probably to be able to predict well w/ any accuracy for texts of non-trivial length, you have to be able to understand; probably this is the only way to "compress" the insanely large conditional probabilities.
Not the concept, the implementation. That's why I'm referring to it as a flaw in design philosophy. The did not follow through with the appropriate mitigations for using software in a safety-critical application.

A choice must be made. Either be more restrictive and controlling meaning that some people that need the drugs don't get them. Or be less restrictive and controlling meaning that some people you think shouldn't get the drugs get them.

I've worked at software companies for 16 years now. I've seen and done it all. From working at loads of startups to big fortune 500 companies to a non-profit, and even having my own startup. Need to be semi-anon as I still have a full-time job. I would love to find a place for long term.

The place I'm working at has laid off 50% of the staff. Therefore, it's time for a change. I did heavy react and Django / python work in the last year or two. I would prefer to do more front-end in the next role.

TL;DR;

- Been to all 7 continents of the world

- Built my previously failed deep-tech start-up's MVP

- Worked remotely since 2015

- Had my own business and grew a community from 0 - 50k

- Becoming fluent in Spanish

- Heavily work in Python/JavaScript/Typescript/HTML

- Survived multiple rounds of layoffs

- Still have a job
I dabbled with free and cheap paid-for proxies which were either injecting javascript or too flaky for live video. I saw a few of those smaller providers, but the initial outlay would have been too risky, because I am convinced the BBC throw a lot of money at residential geolocation, so if they haven't already their IP address blocks will be blacklisted at some point in the near future

interesting about Dubai though, makes me wonder if they have some sort of expat or economic deal with them. if Google thinks you're there, you can bet BBC do too. I discovered they use multiple CDNs and delivery mechanisms as fallback/best effort for the gamut of user agents, network health and device capabilities, which sometimes (but not always) sieved most (but not all) VPN and proxy locations in an indeterminate (yet authoritatively intentional) fashion, so perhaps Dubai is whitelisted on one of those. who knows. sometimes it's like rolling dice. inconsistency and implied mischief sure are strong deterrents. might investigate further at some point if I can swallow some bile first
Why.

After the pharmacies got sued for filling opiate prescriptions (which were written by abusive doctors, but the pharmacies are the ones who got sued)[1], is it any surprise that Xanax and Adderall are being limited? If pharmacies are at risk for filling prescriptions that are more complex than antibiotics, the end result is that they make it harder to fill them.

If you mean, wondering whether or not you know what you're doing, yes, that is absolutely common, it happens every time I try to learn something new, and it takes me longer than expected. I've just been programming long enough that I recognize it as an incorrect, but inevitable feeling, and I just grind through until I learn the new thing and then feel competent again.

I now have the impression that if I _haven't_ felt like I didn't know what I was doing and was in over my head, in a long time, it means I should push myself out of my comfort zone.

If, on the other hand, you find yourself thinking that you just don't like programming, well then it depends on how you mean that. If you normally like it ok, but every once in a while wish you were doing anything else, that's normal; there is a reason they have to pay people to do this. Just because it's not always fun doesn't mean you're not a good fit.

But, if you find it to be teeth-grinding levels of "I hate this", on a regular basis, then that is not so good and you should find something you don't hate. But from your description, that does not sound like it is the case, so don't worry. Sometimes it's not what you would be doing if you weren't being paid to, and that is pretty common, which is why they have to pay people.

It is usually better for major criminals to confess and turn themselves in too. "I bet" doesn't read "it is morally better." And why jump to compare publicly vs privately doing it instead of doing it vs not doing it?
A side effect is hyper-focus, which shouldn’t be discounted. If you can learn to direct that focus, you can grit through anything.
Are you talking about nuclear? The external costs are paid by the operator. They have to setup a fund to handle decommissioning and cleanup before even beginning operation, and the costs of that are worked into the total-cost-per-MWh numbers.
