It's also just (deliberately) misleading. It's based on the 13B Vicuna/Llama model, not 175B GPT-3 or 1T GPT-4. There is zero justification for calling it MiniGPT-4.

A more honest name would be Visual-Vicuna or Son-of-BLIP.
I think it is the latency. 130 ms will cause websites with lots of little files across multiple https servers to load slowly. If the resources was bundled into a single file, it would load faster.

(My corporate network used to have similarly exaggerated latency on a bad old wire.)

The really big costs start to pipe up with batteries if you want the system to be functional at night and on rainy days

Inverters aren't cheap, but as your inverter size goes up your battery capacity likely scales even faster to account for times when you don't have much sun for 2-3 days. Hopefully that'll change soon! Lifepo4 batteries are the best we have on the market today, but they're not cheap and still require a lot of hard to find natural resources to produce
No way. That is absolute bullshit. You can tell, because they cite exactly zero studies showing some other way is better. They are looking at scores over time with no control, which can be decreasing for any other reason.

Phonics based reading instruction is response to the massive scandal that already happened in the US where they tried the whole language approach, balanced instruction, three cueing, and the like with no evidence of positive impacts on literacy. Even the founder of the three cueing method accepted it is a failure. Teachers and education researchers with new books to sell don't want to accept that the boring way works better, especially for students with less support at home (where parents often use phonics to teach kids at age 2 or 3). Someone like Lucy Calkins is potentially responsible for 25% of the illiteracy in the US.

Not really. Having quality interactions is more important to me than having many interactions.
The people who can fix user complaints and business disparities like this in Fortune 500 companies do not care because 1) they can't see them, and 2) they are actively incentivized to not care about it.
to be clear when I say no response, I am talking they got consistent updates that essentially said "we have no update on this issue", not them simply never putting anything on them.

also like it or not, by paying for support people have a right to expect that the company being paid will be engaging with you and the request you are putting into there system, not that you will have to find a person to chase down because your tickets are being ignored.
Superficially, it seems similar to the method I used to learn to read. It dates from the 1890s, don't know if it had any scientifically basis.
I'm dreading this. I want privacy hostile companies like Facebook to have to comply with the app store rules and respect system settings relating to privacy. As a user, I'm thrilled when Apple wields its big stick to stop big tech companies from overreaching. Before there was a bit of a compromise, I could use evil apps with some peace of mind that they wouldn't do something egregious. Now I suspect evil apps just won't be available in the App Store, or Apple will be forced to relax their control.
There is a little more to it than that. Abstractions in ML are very leaky.

I've seen many "science based methods" in my lifetime, and they are contradictory. I am not an expert in the subject of education, which means I cannot evaluate what is really science based. I could do this of course - but my day job is as a programmer and when I'm done with that I just want to make sawdust or music, not do more research.

Well, that's probably because companies make so much "intellectual property" in Ireland, which they then have to pay licensing fees to their Irish subsidiaries to use.

I am being a little sarcastic. This is a description of a standard tax-avoidance scheme.

My point, ultimately, is that I suspect Ireland's numbers are inflated by its status as a tax haven for multinationals.
> We (hotel owners/employees) hate booking dot com and their guests.
Remember that if you book with booking dot com, you are their guest. Not ours.

You are completely unfit for your line of work.

You have a duty treat all guests well and if you don't want them to book through booking.com you are free to remove your listing. They are not forcing you to do any business with them.

If you can't attract enough guests by yourself without using booking.com, that means you have failed in the most important part of your business.
There are mountains of education research out there. Some collages actually do focus on it, but the real goal is to prepare people for the workplace by jumping though whatever hoops are mandatory.

Research is largely ignored because what actually determines what’s used is politics not some rigorous validation of what works. We do a lot of standardized testing in the US not because it’s particularly useful, but because it’s been privatized and the only way for those companies to make even more money was even more tests. Which meant they needed to convince people more testing was needed, which worked.

Luckily it’s shocking easy to educate most people, almost like young kids brains where setup to learn stuff…
I’m completely with you here. This kind of language hi jack drives me nuts.
Regardless of what you want to learn, "small daily activities" is a bit hard. You can learn some stuff by osmosis, following the feeds of AI devs && AI channels, but the bulk of what I learn comes from starting projects & digging into code & reading papers.

If you can hold attention span over several days (I can't), work on a project bit-by-bit. Just make sure it uses modern AI stuff, and that you have smart people to talk around with.
Let's just put it like this: Most "simple" explanations of RSA are wrong.

The "advantage" of ECC is that there are no "simple" explanations of ECC, because there's no comic version of ECC that is insecure and easy to explain. For RSA, such an insecure comic version exists. However, I never found that a very convincing argument against RSA.

phones aren't great for input, and perhaps won't be in the foreseeable future, but using proprietary closed keyboards with no roughly-equivalent alternatives just compounds the problem

every time I want to type something substantial, in any language, I wait until I have access to a computer; it's particularly bad in Japanese and Chinese in my experience, but it's not great in any language - in Asian languages you'd get good over time with some specific system (say 4-corners, zhuyin, kana/conv, and specific predictive dictionaries) and then have support end, so why even bother?
Estimate, but not calculate exactly. If you're deducting say, taxes for employment throughout the year, and then I carry out some trades that result in capital gains or losses that change me to a different tax bracket, the amount you deducted is now too much or too little, meaning someone's got to pay something at the end.

We DO have withholding measures in place to minimize payment necessary at the end -- but the idea that this can be done as we go fails to take into consideration factors that simply can't be foreseen with certainty.

Never mind the fact that while many people are happy to give up time value in favor of convenience, paying your taxes early means not having that money working for you, in, say, money market funds, or treasury bills, or some other such safe place where it can be held until it is due. Especially with interest rates on the rise, it's not clear that everyone would be particularly thrilled to give up this time value.
We've been using docker swarm for running some basic services as kubernetes seems way over-engineered for simple stuff. Our basic requirements is that a service will be auto-restarted as soon as possible if/when something breaks.

However, though swarm is easy to use and configure, I've found that having a small swarm (e.g. three nodes) means that you end up having each node be a manager as the swarm fails if half the manager nodes aren't up.

I've also found that "docker compose config" doesn't work in a compatible manner and have to use "docker-compose config" instead.
The usual choice is C. I'm currently liking luajit as the tracing cuts through some of the DSL. The JavaScript compilers probably manage the same thing.
>WTF is the point of it all?

Practice of math and logic.

>That sheer lack of context is what I hate about academical math.

Isnt this beautiful?

Math doesnt need context, especially cultural context.

We dont need examples with apples, cars or money to do the math.

Sure, they are helpful for kids, but at some point they are so used to abstract concepts that theres no need for that.

So not only logic is being practiced, but also abstract thinking.

>still irrelevant in my life to this very day.

We dont do math just to apply some random ass formulas. As ive said it improves logical and abstract thinking. Both of them can make significant impact on someones life.

It can be seen everywhere in real life, especially during arguments.
There are really great resources now from eli5 about all of this tech to books like ‘the little learner’ which any programmer can get into. Yes, it takes effort but it is a great time for it.
> Historically, Apple execs including Tim Cook and Craig Federighi have staunchly opposed sideloading citing privacy and security reasons.

Which is funny to me, because after flipping through the App Store for an email client, I found, on this heavily curated storefront, a single digit number of apps I would trust with my email credentials. Android, with it's option to "sideload" F-Droid, gives me dramatically more options that I trust.

Security and trust do not require locking me out of my own hardware.

The problem is, Musk’s plan doesn’t seem to be working as well as he’s saying. Twitter’s web traffic dropped by nearly 8 percent last month compared to the year before, and has been dropping for the past three months year over year, according to new estimates from data intelligence firm SimilarWeb. This directly contradicts Musk’s claims that usage is up.

I don't think that's a contradiction because similarweb doesn't measure app usage.

My photography interactions have only increased since last year too...
Speaking of which, if you don't like that kind of thing, never use a Xiaomi phone. It requires registering for a Xiaomi account to "unlock" the bootloader and install alternative operating systems (such as one without most of the spyware - why does the calculator app or the pdf viewer need a privacy policy?)

This account registration is baked into the phone while the bootloader is unlocked, and you have to factory-reset the phone and lock it back up to be able to dissociate the account from the phone.
How is it "being ruined"? I use it every day and it works fine.
Just to put the Bing button on? Not smart. But I'm glad they updated.

It will do, probably quite soon. Many people are trying.
This isn't as difficult as you make it look.

Many Android devices have the concept of carrier-specific configuration files (CSCs) which are baked into the ROM, and phones sold in the region come baked with the variant with only the specific CSCs in question. A similar implementation could be followed by Apple, where they have a separate image for the EU.
So you're arguing 12 olds should be able to buy cigarettes?

I expect it to be implemented in the most passive-aggressive way possible.

Also, it will probably have the same bullshit tricks that Google uses to make it difficult, meaning it will only be useful to tech nerds.
The house is still there. You're just no longer part of it.
Unless you write a basic interpreter or code in plain binary, you're breakpointing in another language. It's really not a big deal as long as you preserve the mapping to the original code.

When you breakpoint in C, you breakpoint in assembly and find your C location from the debug information for example.
> Second, breakpointing in another language is about as great (possibly worse) as debugging via printf.

You don't have to. Just generate sourcemaps and you'll be able to set breakpoints in your own language even when targeting JS.

If anything that makes JS an even better target since you can leverage tooling.

> Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I learned booking.com does not necessarily integrate with hotel backends in the way you might expect given their name. Turns out they (at least sometimes?) just lie to you in the UI.

In 99% of cases this is the fault of the hotel. In the contract with booking.com you have to honour the reservations, wether you have a system that integrates with them or not. That is the whole idea! Booking.com integrates very well with backend systems, but the hotel can still screw up, and they are responsible.

> This sort of restriction on speech isn't conducive to a healthy community where ideas and thoughts can be shared freely.

I disagree with your overall take for a few reasons. Some of the best forums on the Internet in the days of yore were heavily moderated. Some of the best subreddits are the most heavily moderated (AskHistorians is the example people provide routinely).

Not every place should be about an open free speech debate about everything. Having topic-focused spaces is perfectly reasonable and you as the user are owed nothing if you join one and start posting off-topic content.

Users are not owed a spot in any given community.
The trick for mobile is to go even simpler: plain unstyled html is as responsive as it gets.
Wrong. SQLite can handle concurrent writes using a WAL. You do not have to wait any amount of time between writes. Once the write is done, it is done.
Ask: how many parameters is the model? At how many bits? and has it been quantized to a smaller number of bits or if not can it be without losing quality? multiply number of bits by the number of parameters, convert to GB, and then add so amount of overhead for however much else needs to load and/or how horrible/amazing of an implementation the inference code is. Done.

Example: A 30B parameter model trained at 16bit FP gets quantized down to 4 bit ints. 4 bits = 0.5 byte. 30 billion * 0.5 byte = 15GB of VRAM (plus a GB or few of other overhead)

if this disappears then spammers and the various botnets will have the upper hand again.
My story reflects yours (I was a "late" reader by grade but also the youngest in my grade, and voracious after I found the world larger than my tiny country town).

Because we read with our kids, all of them were reading by late 3/early 4 years old, by their own desire. While none have had a propensity for George Orwell at the third grade, they do read things beyond their age levels.

I was lucky, and my kids are lucky.

I wonder, are there any organizations that folks can volunteer at to help kids at your and my age in elementary school learn to read?

PostgreSQL has a lot of power. Need your table trigger to make a HTTP request, need a stored procedure written in Rust/Java/Javascript/Perl/Python (to name a few _common_ options ;-), want to index JSON fields, or GIS, or NLP vectors. Need everything be strict and correct ACID, referenced integrity, row level security. Need point in time recovery with a <30s RPO.

The fact it overlaps with MySQL if your use case is "backend for a common ORM" barely makes them comparable.
I recall learning Prolog for a CS class back in the late 80s to model problems using its backtracking (chaining) algorithm with facts. Sometime later Rete-based rules languages became popular, but I always thought Prolog’s language approach was more suitable.

There is CBRS, which some phones are equipped to use. However, I believe it’s used only in conjunction with licensed bands rather than independently.

> Learning to use the Swing API properly may be difficult, but would it really be easier if the Swing developers invented a new language to write it in?

That's a first-class example of sunk cost fallacy. Sure, everyone can understand that the field won't move from Java soon. But discarding legitimate criticism of the object-oriented paradigm because "people already learned it anyway" is a surefire way to make sure new languages aren't better than old ones.

Also I believe that the author had a myopic way of the field. Sure, new enterprise languages don't appear every day, but they do appear (hello, Rust), and when they do, lots of their innovation can be traced to smaller experiments, "failed" languages and ideas written on a napkin by people that won't stop thinking beyond Java. And old languages don't die, but they certainly go past their prime (hello Cobol), and I'm quite happy that they do.

As for the final paragraph, it got invalidated completely by the groundbreaking innovation of LSPs. As it stands now, most new small languages communities already write their own LSP, and IDE creators usually stop at the client. Granted, the article is 18 years old.

In my opinion, and with the benefit of hindsight, the author couldn't project as far in the future of our industry as the Jetbrains CEO did.

From Oxford Languages:

>a·nach·ro·nism

noun

a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned.

"everything was as it would have appeared in centuries past apart from one anachronism, a bright yellow construction crane"

an act of attributing a custom, event, or object to a period to which it does not belong.

"it is anachronism to suppose that the official morality of the age was mere window dressing"

I first used MySQL when it didn't even check column constraints, so that left a bad impression. It has improved, but I'd much rather use Postgresql, and a few features which I really like are:

- Streaming Replication (keep a secondary instance for contingency or moving heavy queries away from the main database);

- Procedures in various languages;

- Foreign Data Wrappers for integration with other databases (much sturdier and Oracle's Heterogeneous Services and there's even an FDW for Elasticsearch);

- Backup/restore is quite easy as is upgrading.

The only thing I miss are packages like Oracle's.

So, unless I have no other option, I'll choose Postgresql.
