Sure, you can be a vegetarian. However, an omnivore diet is superior for the reasons I exposed. Interestingly, India, the country where vegetarianism/Veganism is the most widespread, has almost no high-performance athletes, and has probably the lowest Olympic medals/inhabitant in the world.
I'm curious how they keep LLM generated text from turning into future training input, and creating a loop that probably isn't good for quality. Or is that not a problem?
Penalties should double for every repeat crime committed, both in terms of fines and prison time.
Ah darn it, and here I was trying to do this with ggml and onxx.
Unrolling loops reduces the cost of loop termination checking. A tight loop like `for (i=0; i < n; i++) { acc += 1; }` is mostly overhead, you are constantly checking to see if you’re done or not. If you were given a loop like this in real life, like “come back to me and check if you’ve made enough doughnuts after every single individual doughnut you make, I’ll tell you when you’re done”, you would just quit your job in frustration, because it is a huge waste of your time.

The compiler can unroll loops like that to `for (i=0; i < n; i+=8) { acc += 8; }` (ignoring the remainder of n/8), which does 8x fewer compare+conditional jump instructions. It has nothing to do with how many times you’ll be running the code; this kind of optimisation reduces the runtime of any single execution.

From my limited existence, one of my older employers paid Red Hat a lot of money for a fairly limited/short engagement with 1-2 of their software engineers and 1 of their solutions engineers, and then paid tens of thousands per year for I think 2 production support contracts for their software for years after.

At the same time, I could see how they could have gotten pinched recently if they were unwilling to pay more to retain talent and are now getting squeezed from the other side by companies moving away from their products to reduce costs.

"Airport security is not useless"

While that's a pretty extreme statement, airport security's usefulness is definitely in question. Most other airports outside the US are significantly less strict (don't have to take off shoes, for instance), and there have been tons of youtube videos showing how you could easily slip in weapons of various sorts through airport security.

It's practically a meme about the fact that they throw out all "might-be-bomb" liquids into trashcans right next to you -- in the same receptacle.

It seems much more like security theatre, and maybe thanks to terrorist groups, but more thanks to sensationalist media + clever people who take advantage of the capitalistic system (one of the heads of the TSA just-so-happens to make the machines they use to scan your luggage, "private" business on the side that he gets paid for.)

In addition, TSA Precheck / Clear / Global Entry are all ways to pay to have less inconvenience -- but have you seen any statistics they've been able to give out about stopped terrorist attempts? Don't you think that would be a thing that would be promoted if it was happening?
That jailing a very small number of naughty people would drastically reduce crime.
Yes, but that environmental conditioning did not involve training on the contents of the Kindle library. And the results of that training are encoded in under a gigabyte.

For the record, I'm not saying LLMs are not a huge step forward. They are. But they are not -- and cannot be -- the whole answer.
It’s rubbish compared to GPT-3/4.

Any model you can trivially load in your browser will be significantly smaller than those models, and broadly speaking smaller = worse.

This example is a 4 GB model, that’s (I guess) based off some smallish model like the llama 7B.

It’s a proof of concept, not a chat-gpt replacement.

There’s nothing here that’s new other than “runs in the browser”; so it won’t be better than any other model you can get your hands on.

This kind of thing should be label ByoM (bring your own model). The model isn’t the interesting part of this.

My gut is that tinc is going to be as good as anything else here -- specifically what this means is that his "for your friends" idea doesn't hold much water for me.

I.e. -- either you have friends techy enough such that you could get tinc going, or you don't, and at this level ALL of these solutions are going to be too annoying and complicated for them?

For the non-techy types, I don't think any VPN like thing has been built yet? Would have to be like "syncthing" level easy.

Currently sitting on 250gb of RAWs since October, at some point that will hopefully become 40gb or less. The last time this happened I batch converted everything to Adobe DNG, but support for that isn't great outside Lightroom. Is there some format with good compatibility somewhere between DNG/RAW and JPG that preserves dynamic range and white balance information? I think exposure and WB correction is pretty much the only functionality worth fighting to preserve. Keeping RAWs for long term personal archival seems silly

Not aware of an airport-only chain there either, but European airports night not need them since they tend to funnel you through massive duty-free shopping malls.

Peak power on these recent-ish high performance recent drive reviews shows 9w, but most drives peak consumption is 5W. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-990-pro-ssd-rev...

Absolutely some drives won't qualify, especially PCIe 5. But many will be fine. Also, PCIe 3 x4 is 4GBps or 32Gbps which isn't that far from saturating usb4 anyways, so it's not like we even can get drives running full tilt over USB at present. Many of these controllers probably top out at PCIe 3 or even less, if they don't support 40Gbps (most cheap-ish ones won't).

Hopefully we start seeing some usb-pd capable systems & drives. The want to plug in 2 or 4 drive 3.5" enterprise drive arrays to my laptop & have it just work. Even just a single 3.5" of power would be so helpful. And it'd mean you could alternatively be charging your phone well too, which is probably the more common everyday ask.
I think most (all due to standard?) Scheme dialects have rationals. Pyret seems to have inherited them from Racket, which inherited them from Scheme. Common Lisp also seems to have them (I just tried (/ 1 3) in SBCL REPL.). So there is quite a number of languages which have rationals, but many mainstreamy ones miss out in this aspect.
Regardless, always good to have research data behind anything that is "least surprising".

It wouldn't matter if the DOM layout engine ran on a separate thread, but it runs on the main thread, so it blocks your games update loop for a few frames every time you shoot, or whatever.

Now, that's not to say it has to be that way; real engines have a separate render thread that would sort of solve that problem. And they run the game update code in parallel, and all kinds of other stuff. But, by the time you have all that stuff, you can probably rasterize a font and draw quads ;)

But don't take my word for it. Maybe it's better now. Make a thing that moves some divs around in a requestAnimationFrame callback and take a look at the profile. I bet 2% of the time the layout engine takes 30ms+ to do basically nothing
Man I am loving the design & interior of that car. I wonder how you know how fast you're going though? There doesn't seem to be a speedometer anywhere.. Maybe in the little black bar at the top of the dash there's a screen hidden in there? Gotta have one for the legally mandated backup cam anyway.

Basic pricing logic.

Why pay someone who produces less, or can bear a lower wage, the same as someone who produces more or can't?

There's a reason subscriptions cost a lot less in the developing world than in rich countries - and everyone seems to think this is somehow fundamentally fair.

People are happy for software engineers to earn more than burger flippers, but not happy for 3x software engineers to earn more than 2x software engineers.

Emotional reasoning abounds.
Why otherwise would end-users trust individual developers or tiny orgs, esp. from countries without much rule of law? What else gives your users assurance a binary isn't bundled with adware, malware, trojans, or privacy compromises, either now or won't sneakily be at any time in the future when the developers might cash out to some unknown org, or else simply want to generate a sneaky new revenue stream without their users' informed consent?

Suggesting an umbrella organization give the primary assurance of trustworthiness is similar to what SourceForge used to do, until their practices destroyed their reputation back in 2013, and also greatly damaged the reputations of legit developers who used their site.

Opposing nuclear energy is the same as supporting climate change because the only alternative to nuclear base load is coal or gas. This is why Germany emits 6 times more CO2 per kWh than France. If humanity was sane and rational we would have replaced coal with nuclear a long time ago.

Climate change activists opposing nuclear energy is like firefighters opposing water.
hamachi was pretty close, we used it back in the days to play LAN games without having to enter IP addresses or mess with routers/modems.
It makes a lot of sense when there is more than one other element using the API.

There does need to be oversight over whole thing to avoid exactly what is described above.
Not just that, but that most of the really smart people who do it professionally will fail.
You're captive to the airport. If you want something to eat you have to pay airport prices, there's not a lot you can do about it other than bringing in your own food. Airport vendors know this so they charge accordingly.

That is fine for the first flight, but the connections can quickly turn into a mess. Also, after getting there an hour early, you grab a beer, sit around, and then the flight gets delayed or cancelled. I've noticed it is stressful until the plane for my final connection going back home leaves the ground.

If you don't have to get somewhere at specific times and events, no problem, just chill and you'll get there eventually. If going to a planned meeting, or giving a talk, etc., it can be very tiring.
Entirely depends on how big the request might be
It’s IMO worse than useless as terrorists can more easily kill people at the airport lines than destroying an aircraft. Holiday rush + luggage filled with even gunpowder and metal would make a huge statement that that everything we did was worse than useless.

I was honestly expecting exactly that kind of follow up attack for years.
Depends on who you ask. For people who play chess, it is art and it has great relevance. The fact you're commenting on this shows it.
Is it evil that a Google One subscription or a software package costs a lot less in Bangladesh than in America?

Worrying about the 'risk' of nuclear waste while we emit so much CO2 into the atmosphere is like worrying about a hangnail while you have a huge tumor on your neck. Modern reactors have very thick containment shells and have zero risk of "fallout".
Why would they spend more money to make it faster when they can just charge people for the faster precheck line?
This seems true, since McDonald's prices inside an airport seem to be either three danger as outside or just a little more. They for sure never reach the astronomical heights of other airport vendors.
They manage a large number of region-specific accounts, so that users can follow just the regions they care about. I imagine the cumulative total exceeds the API limit.

This is a pretty common pattern. Daryl Herzmann's iembot accounts are in a similar situation, I think.
> People are happy for software engineers to earn more than burger flippers, but not happy for 3x software engineers to earn more than 2x software engineers.

I think that it's probably partially due to the historical difficulty of measuring developer productivity.

Sales compensation has always been heavily commission based. And for the most part people are fine with that.
Are they celebrating the fact that Germany emits 6 times more CO2 per kWh than France? They should be ashamed of themselves.
Yes, usually shooting for a client: https://serio.com.au/projects/

I should probably just add a 10% line item for drives and archiving.

But also a good amount is speculative - shoot a location and then try to sell the content to various parties. Sometimes sell stuff a year or more after shooting it.

Keeping one copy isn’t onerous or expensive, but the mental baggage of shuffling around multiple copies gets a bit much.
One argument (that I don't necessarily buy) is that inputs from sensory perception play a major role in building a language model in humans. A human might not read TB of books to learn language, but if you put them in a sensory deprivation tank that only displayed a massive series of Unicode characters it would take forever for us to learn language. If we did the same for an ML model, perhaps those non-language training materials would help.

(That said, DL architectures are obviously wildly different from how the human brain works. E.g. backprop is physically impossible.)

> Are you proposing that when the, ahem, domain logic in Photoshop requires opening a dialog, that the developers write 2 or 3 or 4 different implementations at the call site?

This is still backwards. The domain logic doesn’t open a dialog anymore than a back end API opens a dialog on a web app or mobile app. The front end gathers whatever information it needs to call the backend code along with an event saying when it’s done “call this”.

The back end logic is usually naive to the presentation layer. Even in GUI apps it’s usually event based where the backend just sends an event saying “I’m done” and the front end registers an asynchronous function for a call back and when the function is called a dialog box shows up saying “done”.
Nuclear is a MUCH better alternative to coal, which Germany still gets about 1/3 of its electricity from. It would have made a LOT more sense to replace all coal electricity with nuclear.

That's a problem for machine learning systems in general.

For instance, a recommendation system's output effects what users see, so it effects what they click on. The next training set is statistically dependent on the input of the previous.

There are strategies to deal with it, but in the case of a LLM it seems difficult apart from downweighing everything after 2023 that isn't from a vetted source.
> If no actual security issues are found in an audit, that's good, but I want to know about the potential for them, too.

That’s perfectly reasonable, and independent from what I’ve said: audits regularly document potential weaknesses, especially when vulnerabilities aren’t found. What they don’t generally do is make statements to the effect of “this software is high quality” or “we approve of this software.”
Price discrimination is efficient. You don't have to like it, but you can't claim it isn't.

Your claim that wages being below someone else's is "societally harmful" requires some proof beyond your intuition.

This is not a method of cutting all wages in the country, it is a method of directing wages to higher productivity workers.

It only shifts relative amounts.

Just as we expect a cleaner to be paid less than the software engineer whose cubicle is being cleaned, there is no "societal" objection to the 3x engineer being paid more than the 2x engineer.
Latest Kitty terminal release features SRGB correct linear gamma blending
Getting fonts to render correctly is a difficult task. Compositing in linear color space is the visually correct way to blend colors. But in practice no platform renders and composites fonts in linear color space, and each has opinionated approaches to how fonts should be rendered. Font designers can design a font with a specific platform in mind, that on another platform looks terrible. And people who spend all day working with a terminal can be very picky about how they want text to look. The latest release of Kitty provides tooling to allow tweaking the compositing settings so that any font in any color, can render as desired on any platform.
