The old "is" strikes again. An electron is definitely not a cloud, nor a particle nor a wave, we don't know what the hell it is and stopped trying to describe it in those terms many years ago. Instead, we limit ourselves to trying to come up with models that accurately predict how they behave, and call the models useful when they predict the right answers to experiments. "All models are wrong but some are useful", as the saying goes.

Like all subatomic particles, electrons don't seem to have a discrete location; when we try to measure their location, we get different results each time, as you said. However, these apparently-random results follow a predictable pattern, so we describe it using an equation predicting where it is most likely to be found (the Schrodinger wave equation). For electrons in some stable states, that area is roughly spherical, meaning that there is some point where it is most likely to be found, a fuzzy area near that point where it is fairly likely to be found, and a distance from that point past which it is very unlikely to be found. We can therefore model the electron as being a tiny discrete thing that whizzes around in a roughly spherical area, which is the "cloud" in this article.

All that "can be modeled as" stuff is unwieldy, so people say the electron "is" a spherical cloud when they mean that modeling it as a spherical cloud is useful for understanding the matter at hand. What this article is describing is an attempt to measure whether that spherical region is perfectly spherical. If it weren't - meaning, if the electron was slightly more likely to be found on one side of the sphere than the other, then it would have an electrical dipole moment, which is what they were trying to find.

I strongly think this is wrong. You have legislators all ginned up who have never even used Tik Tok reacting in a stupidly absurd way to a real problem. But banning is not the way to solve it.

Ask HN: Current anxiety levels of SWE's after digesting the initial GPT-4 news?
GPT-4 was released about a month ago, and I and many others I know who are software devs had a lot of anxiety about what the future will hold for the SWE field. Now that everyone has had time to digest and reflect on LLM's in general, are your anxiety levels still elevated due to how LLM's will impact the SWE field?

I've seen these prices at many airports - I'd say every airport, IIRC. It's not new and it's not local to NY. It's not only in airports, but anywhere there is a captive audience, such as sporting events, museums, etc.

Both photography and image generation by computers are techniques that you can use in the ancient discipline of painting, aka "putting colors on a surface to produce a visual effect". Since its invention, photography has been a staple tecnhique for many painters. I don't see why "AI" should be any different.

Leonardo used the camera obscura as part of the creation of some of his paintings. Rockwell worked from photographs to produce most of his illustrations. Many serious artists in the future will certainly spend time crafting prompts.

I really like these "leaked" emails because a couple of times I've gotten to see behind the curtain of projects, like this one, that I was involved in.

I remember one issue here was trying to demo Microsoft's DRM to music execs. At the time Microsoft's software was unusable on Mac, but the music industry was Mac all the way through. Microsoft was first through the door, through outside agencies, they would do the grunt work of turning the labels on to selling their music, then Apple would turn up, sometimes literally the next day, with a much slicker promotion and win the deal.

Microsoft's biggest problem through all of this was its absolute certainty that it should only provide the pick axes and not build this thing itself. It was certain the end user wanted a choice of 50 weak music players and a dozen different badly-developed music stores.

If you want a job done properly do it yourself. Apple won because they did that and owned the whole vertical.

The former doesn’t distort the proportion.

30 to 40 is noticeable, but not really a huge deal.

40 to 50 is barely above the noise floor

> Said process could silently insert code into repos, corrupt the build environment, replace packages in production, or whatever

Haha I hope this to be true :sigh: The reality is that all those security hardening measures already surpass the level where it significantly undermines the overall productivity... Engineers cannot even have a test run on production data without an explicit review from colleagues.
Companies told customers what they want, because they get to dodge regulations, thus more profit. Manufactured demand.
Is the algorithm "select * from companies order by market_cap desc limit 500"? At the risk of oversimplifying, there should be quite little to debate, and when some hair-splitting occurs, I trust a committee of reasonable humans will make a reasonable choice.
> Where do you get this from? Intuitively I'd reckon you'd need no more than log2 operations. Whatever this result is it certainly doesn't hold for small n.

2 log₂ 10. a multiplier m with 5 digits has a log₂ between 13.29 and 16.61, 3.32 per digit; you need log₂ m halving operations and log₂ m doubling operations. so 6.64 is an upper bound but it's usually pretty close. in the example there, it would have led you to expect 13.28 halving and n-digit doubling operations, when the reality was 8 halving and doubling operations, of which three were n+1-digit doublings

n is the number of digits of the multiplicand, so it holds just as well for small or large n, except in the sense that n can be a bad estimate for how many digits you need in the doublings when it's small

> Am I mistaken in reading this as RPN?

yes; those asterisks mark the rows where the mediation column was odd, as i explained below in 'now we add the starred duplation column items where the mediated multiplicand was odd'. they do not denote multiplication or any other operation on the two numbers to their left. you are surely not the only person who misinterpreted this, and i apologize for the lack of clarity

For user-facing documentation, I noticed Docusaurus (https://docusaurus.io/) coming up in conversations more and more, so finally bit the bullet and moved our customer-facing documentation to use docusaurus as well (originally using a modified mkdocs).

Gotta say, Docusaurus has worked out great for us. Smooth migration if you have markdown already, everything just works, and a lot of sane defaulting
Worked in a visual effects studio which had a mix of Irix, Linux, and OSX machines where we needed to synchronise platform specific packages and tools. Used rdist to do this; this was way back in the day when the only configuration manager out there was probably rdist and cfengine.

I have to say rdist really held up for such a baroque tool.
Curiously, I just bought an hdd for the first time in years, after noticing I could get 22TB of storage for $300.

My use case is penalty a bit particular, though... It's really just for localized copies of large datasets that exist elsewhere. So it's totally ok if the drive dies, since the data lives somewhere else. I doubt most people have a real need for that much localized data these days.
Hrm. The study's size of 25 participants, and the inherent variance of IQ score estimation both seem to smell more of a confirmation bias than a legit anything else.
Yes, it's called district heating or teleheating. And generally is heat also a form of energy used in some other processes, not just for heating up buildings or streets. Energy-politic is far more complex than electricity and building big plants.

The WGSL are generated and compiled through TVM and embedded into the wasm.

I think what you mean is wgpu native support. At the moment the web gpu runtime dispatches to the js webgpu environment. Once TVM runtime comes with wgpu native support (like the current ones in vulkan or metal), then it is possible to leverage any wgpu native runtime like what Zig provide.

Additionally, currently tvm natively support targets like vulkan, metal directly which allows targeting these other platforms

It’s not even clear that bigger cars are safer for their occupants anymore. The last time it held close to true was in the early 90s.
No, it's a collection of vectors (which may be considered ordered or unordered depending on context). The 'vectors' part is fine, but the 'collection' part is the bit that causes the confusion. You can't differentiate a collection (even of vectors), any more you can differentiate a bag of coloured balls. What's the derivative of 'blue'?

But if that collection is plugged into an expression, so as to denote a collection of expressions when result when the individual element vectors are plugged into the expression, and the resulting expressions are differentiable, and you then differentiate each of those expressions and then collect the result back in the same order and represent it as a matrix, then that's fine.

This is what happens when we talk about "matrix differentiation", we mean "differentiation with matrices". But the matrix itself is not a derivable object. Only the expressions upon which it confers its notational semantics have a derivative.
Well sort of... The odd thing about large transformers is that there is such a huge qualitative difference between what they learn (hence how they behave) and how they are trained, so it's hard to say that this predict-next-word error feedback is directly controlling their inference behavior.

Given what the model is learning, it's perhaps best to regard this predict-next-word feedback not as "this is what I'd like you to generate", but rather something more indirect like "learn to generate something like this, and you'll have learnt what I want you to learn". A bit like Karate Kid and "wax on, wax off", perhaps!

The actual desirability of what the model is generating, which depends on what you want to use it for, is really controlled by subsequent training steps, such as:

1) Fine tuning for instruction (prompt) following and conversational ability (this is the difference between ChatGPT and the underlying raw GPT-3 model)

2) Goal-based reinforcement learning to stop the model from generating undesirable content such as telling suicidal people to kill themselves, etc, etc.

I don’t think it’s as opinionated nor active as you’re making it out to be.

Investing proportionally more in a huge company than you do in the 500th largest eligible company seems much more passive than active to me.

If two S&P companies were to merge and everything else remained the same, I’d think that having the combined amount invested in the combined company to be more sensible than cutting your investment proportion in half merely by a merger.

Or if a company you’d invested in doubled in value, I’d rather hold the constant number of shares rather than sell half of them to bring my exposure to the winner down. I’d also view that as passive and un-opinionated. Selling half feels more active and opinionated than simply holding.
Likewise. If someone leaks to a newspaper, e.g., The NYT, it’s legitimate, IMHO, for other papers to attempt to discover the leaker.

(I’m trying to recall the history of The Pentagon Papers and of Watergate for any similarities, but drawing a blank. I blame long hot days after a tough winter.)
OK that makes sense; so basically if I want to give this a shot then I would just need to read llm_chat.js and the TVM docs, and translate llm_chat.js to my language of choice effectively?

The weight of the car only affects the fuel cost for accelerating to a given speed. Maintaining a speed is almost entirely the surface area * coefficient of drag * speed^2 some of which is used for cooling. Electric cars generally have better drag characteristics, the 3rd variable is largely the driver + speed limits, but yes bigger = worse.

I can't. I can't do this any longer.

This is as professional as a certain former US president suggesting we should shine strong light into the body or inject people's lungs with disinfectant. It's not a "hypothesis" it's just you being stupid.

I'm not a scientist, but I beg people to not test wild stuff on themselves and instead let the people do their job who dedicated most of their lives into figuring out problems the proper scientific way. You are not a scientist because you read some research papers and stretched a bit at home and changed your diet and magically feel better now.

Long-Covid for many people is the first time they have to deal with a life-altering illness that we do not have a treatment for yet.

So unless you have prior experience with that kind of situation, I get it, it's scary and hard to understand that there might never be a cure.

I have the "luxury" as someone with a lifelong autoimmune disease that cost me a vital organ along the way and can only live because of science and popping a pill each day, plus surviving cancer, that sometimes all you can do is make the best out of the situation as is while real scientists and doctors figure stuff out.

Accept that at this time you might not be going to get back to what you were capable of before the illness. Build psychological resilience and find mechanisms that help you get back to an acceptable level of life quality. It's not worth it chasing DIY treatments if you have no fucking idea what you are doing, like this girl. Desperation is not a good guide in life decisions.
It happens much less in organizations where leadership set dates based on following basic scrum estimation and an earnest conversation rather than some manager throwing a dart at the calendar and using that random date as a lever against the teams driving artificial velocity.

But "passive" investing does exist on a spectrum:

> The terms passive investing and index investing are often intertwined, but they are not exactly the same thing. Today’s guest is Adriana Robertson, the Honourable Justice Frank Iacobucci Chair in Capital Markets Regulation […].Adriana is interested in index investing and, in this episode, we hear her views on whether or not index investing is passive. Hear facts from her paper on the S&P 500 Index fund specifically, and all of the reasons that it's not passive, as well as some of the issues that are potentially arising from the creation of so many indexes or so-called passive investments. A more recent paper by Adriana, published in The Journal of Finance, surveyed a representative sample of U.S. individual investors about how well leading academic theories describe their financial beliefs and decisions, and Adriana shares the differences in something like value growth from an academic perspective versus a real-world perspective. Find out how investors can go about evaluating the performance of their portfolios and what they should be looking for when deciding which index fund to invest in, as well as why index funds aren’t a meaningful category anyway, factors from Adriana’s surveys that might influence investor’s equity allocation, and the trend towards indexing and whether it will overtake active portfolios. Tune in today for all this and more!

I think instead what would be needed is a wgpu native runtime support for TVM.
Like the implementations in tvm vulkan, then it will be naturally link to any runtime that provides webgpu.h

Then yah the llm_chat.js would be high-level logic that targets the tvm runtime, and can be implemented in any language that tvm runtime support(that includes, js, java, c++ rust etc).

Support webgpu native is an interesting direction. Feel free to open a thread in tvm discuss forum and perhaps there would be fun things to collaborate in OSS
Superficially, some aspects of human learning are similar to PAC learning, but it is not equivalent.

Gödel's incompleteness applies equally well to humans as machines, in writing down axioms and formula, not in general tasks.

The Irony of trying to explain this on a site called Y combinator, but even for just prepositional logic, exponential-time is the best that we can do for for algorithms and general proof tasks.

For first order predicate logic, finding valid formulas is recursively enumerable, thus with unlimited resources they can be found in finite time.

But unlimited resources and finite time are not practical.

Similar with modern SOTA LLMs, while they could be computationally complete they would require unbounded amount of ram to do so, which is also impractical. Also invalid formula cannot reliably be detected.

Why this is ironic.

The Curry's Y combinator: Y = λf.(λx.(x x)) (λx.(x x)), lead to several paradoxes show that untyped lambda calculus is unsound as a deductive system.

Church–Turing thesis shows that lambda calculus and Turing machines are equivalent.
