I would want to see some data on tokenization for some real-world examples. "Je voudrais une pizza" actually translates more directly to "I would like a pizza" which is 5 tokens. But also I think there's some danger here in terms of this might be cherrypicking examples. Spanish is a lot more dense than English or French and might tokenize better. (I see "quiero pizza" is 4 tokens which seems like the right number of tokens to me - "quiero" actually contains "I want <present tense>") You could argue it's 2 or 3 tokens but 4 seems preferable.

For diacratics in French or Spanish, diacratics are logically characters. I can't think of an example where it's actually useful to split the letter into a different token but I could see it happening and not being harmful. I do think it's possible French is just weird and just needs more tokens. When I think about how I process French, I probably do treat e.g. "Je l'ai aimé" as a pathological example as 3 tokens when I speak it out loud. But I can also see why you would tokenize it as 6 tokens, I'm not sure that's Anglocentrism so much as it's recognizing a complexity difference between French and English writing.

But all this is contrast to how non-roman characters are tokenized at the byte level. That just seems bad and like it's definitely going to make it worse with non-roman languages. There's no point in having tokens that split characters.
On an m7, you can use the MPU to assign non-cacheable attribute to a memory area. As small as 32bytes and as large as 4GB. Any size representable as 2^n - k * 2^(n - 3) for k = 0..7 and n >= 8
That's my question as well. I don't think the owner is lying but as far as I know tesla had a 30 day refund policy on Autopilot. And even if that's not true - still seems like it would be straight forward to give him a refund on unused software

How did you come to this?
Nowadays a lot of malicious acts are intentionally disguised as stupidity and incompetence. Not necessarily in this case, but that quote really is showing its age.
That might not be true. OpenAI do set a limit of the total number of tokens, and since I'm pretty sure they trained the model and the tokenizer on mostly English text, I assume there's a somewhat proportional bias toward English based on the input dataset to those models.
Hmmm so they don’t really disassemble the batteries. They just grind them all up and then use physical and chemical processes to filter the bits they want?

I guess this makes sense at scale. I’m not sure what I was picturing.

How did you get Meta to approve? Been trying for so long.
Not a fan of Google's tactics but this is a somewhat misleading headline - they're discontinued and the software won't receive further upgrades, so at some point in time they may stop working if the platform moves on.

That's not "are dead" and "shutdown" in the immediate as the title implies.
This may be backwards. When AI can cheaply, quickly and with nuance intact translate between languages, it becomes easier to use a preferred non-dominant language, which would make English less dominant. There's less incentive to spend so much time learning this oddly irregular foreign tongue if the skill is embedded in your phone.
An old version of Google’s MoE without any benchmarks is impressive?
Depends on how fast google patched it.

There is every incentive for someone to cheat here. There is very little risk, and the potential reward is basically infinite. I can slip a few lines of code in that grant me access to every wallet generated. Worst case I get caught and fired. Best case no one ever knows.

Assuming your employer isn't in on it and you get caught, what are they going to do? Seriously, think about it. If they acknowledge this in anyway the company is OVER. The best course of action is fire you, push a new release and just pray that you don't drain the wallets of the victims in a way that raises too much suspicion.

You either generate seeds from source you audited or maybe trust a hardware wallet that has been sufficiently audited. App-based wallets get new releases on a daily basis. The security is a joke.
> The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form.

Its a model not a program. So that definition can't possibly apply to it no matter the license.
Thanks for this! It means a lot. It can be a little discouraging to hear criticisms when you've put a lot of thought and time into something that you hope can help people.

But I fully understand and appreciate the comments made by other posters.

I have put it back online with a disclaimer that must be acknowledged, and pointed out this is a research app not a substitute for therapy.

I hope that does enough to mitigate some of the risks, whilst allowing me to continue to work at making this a safer and more valuable resource. Whenever that may be, or not :)
> this is coded into our genes and caused by our brain wiring

If this were the case, you'd continue to see relatively few women in highly technical roles, despite a half-century of scorched-earth attempts to change that... which is what we do see. Is there an alternate explanation?
That conclusion doesn't necessarily follow. A significant portion of the economy functions with limited government intervention, as the government sucks at managing the economy. However, money is an exception in this regard, and many cryptocurrency advocates argue that it could be better managed outside of government control. This does not imply that a justice system is unnecessary; rather, it emphasizes diverse roles of government.

In other words, one can agree with certain roles for government (e.g. justice system) while not agreeing with others (e.g. managing money). I don't see the irony or the contradiction.

I added gpt to a bot of mine for Telegram and Discord a few weeks ago. I'm constantly amazed at how the littlest of things can spawn so many new opportunities for inside jokes and meta humor.
You are misreading the article. It is not blaming Bitcoin for deaths at all, or even suggesting that. That sentence was clearly simply to illustrate that it was a bad storm, not an everyday one.

I don't see what's biased or partisan or outrageous at all. It seems like quite a researched and fact-based article to me. And I don't even know what "cold blooded" is supposed to mean.

Perhaps you're having such a strong emotional reaction because you don't like the article's findings? But I can't tell, since you haven't actually responded to the factual claims at all.
From a first principles standpoint that makes no sense.

There are the same number of people and the same number of desirable people, with or without the Internet.

By your logic, both sides of the relationship will get 'left behind,' but isn't the implication that they should date each other then?
I've been laid off twice: once in 2007, again in 2014.

The first layoff was from a mid-sized company (150 employees). I didn't get much severance, but it wasn't a surprise since that company had competitive pressures they were not able to respond to. I had another job lined up and there was virtually no disruption.

The second time was from a large company (70,000+ employees). Severance was good and I found a job before it ran out in three or four months.

Both times resulted in good career moves for me. I was surprised at how long the job search took. Surround yourself with supportive people. Capitalism doesn't care about you. It's not a judgment on your humanity or ability as a developer.

The only thing your employer owes you what they are contractually obligated to owe you.
Sed: An Introduction and Tutorial
I would expect a _good_ car (no maintenance issues, new gas, newer battery) to go at least a couple months without being driven and not have any issues upon starting it up.

The average car in average condition should go around a month without being driven. Anything less than that either means a battery nearing the end of its life, not getting charged, or a parasitic draw somewhere.
It helped me. I no longer wake up feeling congested. The impact on sleep was more subtle. I had some prior complications so I wasn’t able to expand as much as the avg patient.
> That's because replacing the battery in a 2011 Nissan Leaf will likely "total" the car (in that, the replacement cost would be more than the car is worth).

Yeah, well, totalling shouldn't work like that. A car with a new battery should be worth several thousand more, and the totalling calculation for replacing the battery should be based on the post-work value, not the pre-work value.

In that case nuclear is completely dead. There probably hasn't been a nuclear power plant built without government subsidies in history. French nuclear for instance is essentially bankrupt because they can't even run them let alone build new ones, so the government nationalized it last year.

But sure, get rid of all subsidies on everything and let the market sort it out. We can agree on that.
I am guessing you've never been there. It's like any other big American city in that regard.

On top of that they have a bunch of electric scooters and electric skateboards and such.

Gosh, if it gets to the point where cars never stop circling because there's no parking ... we could like, make the cars bigger, and longer, and then people can just hop on and off as needed ... maybe even make a few of them go underground and such. Could even give them a cool name - like Timed Rides Around In the Near Streets or something like that. If we put these things on rails then they would even cause far less wear and tear on the road.
Yes. I mean it took 5 years, but who would count. /s
I understand how natural selection works in the framework of evolution. But how did the evolutionary framework itself emerge? Natural selection can't happen without being contained in a larger self-propagating evolutionary system, correct? And it seems sophisticated enough for me to believe that an intelligent force helped create it. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'd need some pretty compelling proof of abiogenesis, not just isolated examples of self assembling or replicating molecules.

> Chief among them, childhood cancers. Fuck a designer that left that bug in the system and shipped it.

How is it the designer's fault if (for example) humans decide to build and detonate nuclear weapons, the fallout is blown across oceans and/or continents and precipitates into water supplies which then manifests as childhood cancers 25 years later (unbeknownst to the citizens)? That's not a "bug", that's just a natural consequence of physics and physical interactions of matter. Rinse and repeat with lead and other compounds which unknowingly are contaminating our environment and causing childhood cancers to happen in the aggregate?
I bought a lego set during the pandemic to keep myself occupied, but that was a one-and-done thing. A couple months ago, I bought another Lego set- an enormous 2900 piece jazz club. I still don't know where I'm actually going to put it, but it sits on my desk for now and it's fun to fiddle around with. In short, it rekindled my childhood love for Lego.

Lego CAD software is really good nowadays, too. I was able to design my own flower pot for my girlfriend's Lego Botanicals flowers. I was able to order all the pieces directly from Lego, which is pretty convenient.

On Twitter I'd say the "main character" designation is less about how a person acts, and more about how everyone else is talking about them. They are the main character of the moment because suddenly half of your timeline is other Twitter users either directly or indirectly referring to them. Usually because they are wrong in a way that drives a ton of engagement.
The Fed is always behind the curve on slowing down or reversing rate hikes. They depend on to many lagging indicators to make their decisions.
Here's how I switched from data analyst -> software engineer. I don't do much DevOps, but maybe it'll help anyway. To avoid qualifying every statement, just pretend I wrote "in my experience" or "for me" after each assertion.

As a prereq, try to make sure you enjoy the field you're switching to. This seems obvious, but I've met people that didn't. Learn concepts and build projects in your target field to make sure you're actually interested. I built some silly projects with Node & React, learned enough C#/Unity to make awful 2d games, and solved Project Euler/Exercism puzzles. I started 20x more projects than I finished, but finishing isn't really the point at this stage - you're just aiming for exposure. Once I knew what I wanted, I made a plan and started to execute:

1. I positioned myself to program as much as possible at work. In my org, this was easy - most analysts were already writing Python, R, or SQL every day. I took every opportunity to work on projects where the deliverable was working software instead of a slide deck. Almost every data analyst chose the opposite - so there was little competition for these projects. For example, I ended up being able to debug and fix a production C++ application, just because everyone else avoided the task and I offered to try. This step lasted about 1.5 years for me.

2. I learned and built things in my free time. I read books, watched tutorials, did algorithm MOOCs, etc etc. If I had to do it again, I would spend 1/5 the time (or less) following step-by-step tutorials. They definitely helped (especially with "unknown unknowns"), but stumbling through the silliest of projects helped me retain so much more. I did this in parallel with step 1.

3. I did a CS degree. I detailed my cost-benefit analysis in a blog(1), so I won't regurgitate it here. I don't think this is necessary, but being able to apply to new grad SWE jobs was a boon. I tried making the switch before doing a CS degree and got filtered at the resume stage almost every time. I think degree gatekeeping is dumb, unfair, etc. but it is a real problem constraint that you should consider.

I hope any of this helps. It has been a lot of work, and a lot more work to go...but I'm 100% sure I made the right choice. My email is in my profile if you think there's any help I can offer. Good luck!

+1 for breathe right strips. they're all i need for a good night's sleep. they are kind of expensive but you can buy them in bulk from amazon and a good night's sleep is priceless. i would recommend everyone try it just to see if it helps.

sometimes i wear them while out and about, because i'm at the age where i really don't care what other people think of me.
also, a lot of athletes use them while working out.
Research is currently being done and this is of course anecdotal (I mean, if it wasn't it would be proven treatment, wouldn't it?)

That said, my depression was improved more by a couple of magic mushrooms trips than by more than a year of psychology. The results have been so good that it feels wrong to share it, makes it sound like some miracle stuff and I think any depressed person would go for it in a heartbeat completely ignoring risks.
The number of former students in student loan default or those who are struggling to pay off their debt while trying to "have a life" is becoming increasingly public. I think a large % of students taking out loans don't realize just how difficult it will be to repay. They're becoming more aware of that.
> 8 hours (4+4) spent in commuting, driving or not, is an entire life. This isn't a realistic concern, but something pulled out of a cyberpunk novel.

What if that time is spent sleeping? Maybe you don't even need a house, so you'll have more money to spend on a nice car.
Of course they do.

That’s why the Corolla is as popular as it is.
3 days is definitely not good for an NC. That said, mine is usually around 2 months before the battery is drained. That should give you some better expectations.
"Models are still expensive to run, hard to use, and frequently wrong".

The quote is true for human workers.
So for latin languages, they tokenize per word, and somehow for asian languages, it's tokenizing per radical.

Of course you'd end up with a lot more tokens. Just tokenize by word regardless of language.
A'ight.
It can be a bit dangerous (especially to your employer) to continue that line of thinking, though. How many pieces of software do we collectively work on which would make the world a better place if they didn't exist at all?
You're still dealing with a system that expects that under certain conditions injecting MORE fuel will induce a cooling effect.

Not the case when you have an LPG system installed.

Whether the piggy-back understands this procedure and and obeys it or fakes it is irrelevant.

If your cooling system cannot handle this increased heat output you'll run into issues. Better fan will help, but again, this is more heat coming from the inside of the cylinder, so certain blocks will handle upgrades better than others.
Zero-Carbon, Dispatchable, and Affordable Power
However none of that addresses or even attempts to discover the underlying cause(s) of the addiction - instead it assumes it's 'all your fault' and you just need to 'change' to fix it. Perhaps it is external factors that created and continue to drive the addiction (e.g. bad relationships, too much responsibility, unfulfilling work, feeling trapped, boredom, loneliness). Addiction often starts as self medication, before it becomes physical/physiological dependence.
I think that's one of the practical problems both with AA itself and with criticisms of it. It occupies this space in the cultural milieu as the main or even only system to address alcoholism. You have judges sending drunk drivers & domestic abusers to AA and shit, atheists in there freaking out needing help they're not gonna get because they didn't know what they were getting into and the steps very clearly are not for them.

I would recommend AA to someone who is already or wants to be religious. It has many or all of the characteristics of a religion in its own right, and the emotional stance of seeking help from god is an explicit prerequisite.

AA itself doesn't even think AA is the only approach that works. The writings are very clear that other ways work for many people, and if one works for you you should prefer it because AA is exhausting, endless, and humiliating. That is part of why it works for those it works for, but if you can find another way you'll have a better time.

Thinking this through a little bit further, I am wondering if subsystems can wake up if someone else uses their fob but the key signal doesn't match. Surely, at some level, something has to wake up to validate this.
Indeed, I think literate programming might see a resurgence with the help of LLM tooling. Both Copilot and ChatGPT already have some ability with it and in the former case it helps with the loss of autocomplete you typically get when doing literate programming.
Not only that, the Zoom functionality on the Hub Max is broken.

My office was looking at using the Hub Max for employees at home. We purchased one and tried to set it up. Followed their instructions and there’s an Android Developer permission that needs to be turned on the Google side. There’s a whole thread with people complaining about the error in Google’s support forum for the product. Everyone saying the same thing: “I bought this to use Zoom and it seems like Google doesn’t care about anything but it’s own video conferencing software on the Hub.”

The problem seems to have been around for a couple of months now. I wonder if Zoom should be notified that the Zoom Certified Hardware component isn’t living up to their certification requirements.
