> We can use a similar idea to take an existing optimizer such as Adam and convert it to a hyperparameter-free optimizer that is guaranteed to monotonically reduce the loss (in the full-batch setting).

I'm not a huge fan of analyses like this that make one huge assumption that never holds in practice. Nobody uses full-batch gradient descent. It's not possible in practice or even desirable in theory. The stochasticity of SGD is important for performance! There is no reason to expect results with unrealistic assumptions like these to generalize to the cases people actually care about.

> at the cost of a single additional forward pass that increases the wall time for each step by a small factor (about 2x in the example above).

So it doubles the training time and FLOPS. Then the graph X axis should be wall time or FLOPS when comparing the methods, instead of steps.

José from the Livebook team. I don't think I can make a pitch because I have limited Python/R experience to use as reference.

My suggestion is for you to give it a try for a day or two and see what you think. I am pretty sure you will find weak spots and I would be very happy to hear any feedback you may have. You can find my email on my GitHub profile (same username).

In general we have grown a lot since the Numerical Elixir effort started two years ago. Here are the main building blocks:

* Nx (https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx#readme): equivalent to Numpy, deeply inspired by JAX. Runs on both CPU and GPU via Google XLA (also used by JAX/Tensorflow) and supports tensor serving out of the box

* Axon (https://github.com/elixir-nx/axon): Nx-powered neural networks

* Bumblebee (https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee): Equivalent to HuggingFace Transformers. We have implemented several models and that's what powers the Machine Learning integration in Livebook (see the announcement for more info: https://news.livebook.dev/announcing-bumblebee-gpt2-stable-d...)

* Explorer (https://github.com/elixir-nx/explorer): Series and DataFrames, as per this thread.

* Scholar (https://github.com/elixir-nx/scholar): Nx-based traditional Machine Learning. This one is the most recent effort of them all. We are treading the same path as scikit-learn but quite early on. However, because we are built on Nx, everything is derivable, GPU-ready, distributable, etc.

Regarding visualization, we have "smart cells" for VegaLite and MapLibre, similar to how we did "Data Transformations" in the video above. They help you get started with your visualizations and you can jump deep into the code if necessary.

I hope this helps!
That is correct. IBM type elements are made of plastic, but plated with a very thin layer of metal. From a 1981 article: "the type element was functionally plated using an electroplating process that enabled the metal skin to adhere to the plastic with tremendous tenacity. Even when the plastic contracted at a temperature of -75C, the metal skin did not break off. Selection of the plastic involved extensive tests on no fewer than twenty-five types of plastics for impact strength, resistance to acids, shrinkage, and molding adaptability."
We provide more complete solution, with metrics, alerts, dashboards, everything you need right from the start. So in 5 minutes you will get complete solution. Of course, you can build it in-house, and keep working on it, but it is going to take time and resources. And we don’t charge that much.

Also we provide very unique solutions, like transforming, redirecting logs with annotations applied to your pods/deployments/namespaces. Also can pickup logs from volumes without any additional deployments.

So some customers see benefits from us, some don’t.
>"NLQ" that's "near letter quality" and was accomplished by using overlapping dot-strikes to significantly improve the quality.0

We had a panasonic printer that had the NLQ switch. It worked, but would print each line twice (with a slight offset on the overlap). It was pretty good but really 1/2 the speed.
At what point did the human test maker fail or the AI?
pgxn does not (yet) support the notion of TLEs, but it certainly could with minimal changes. We're currently in discussion with the pgxn maintainers about how that would look.
Absolutely. I remember the articles in the trade press in the mid 90s asking "Is UN*X dead?" (Hindsight of course tells us that Betteridge's law applied)

But I was working for a small ISV making a windows based GIS and our customers were putting windows boxen on every desk in the office, and then ditching either intergraph based solutions or complex systems with Tektronix terminals. Our per seat license was a rounding error in their previous costs, and you could drag a selected rectangle from our map window and drop it into a word document. I occasionally helped with sales demos and you could see when the decision was made in the faces of the senior people when they saw this.
No, you misunderstand. The stuff is still published, because these are works that people want to share. They're just not on the open web anymore, they're invite-only web spaces, or internet spaces that aren't web-based at all, because there appears to be no other way to avoid having them used to train AIs.
I think the most sensible comparison is with damaging drugs that are addictive and the drug dealers. These drugs exist and cannot be unmade. Things such as crack cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, or worse drugs.

That doesn't mean we should accept or applaud the drug dealers pushing these drugs onto people. Because they are systematically seeking out young people from broken homes, people lacking in self control, or people who are in other ways weak and easy prey for these life-destroying substances.

The software made by OP might be inevitable, but compiling and publishing it to an app store and making it easy for people to use is extremely unethical. In OPs case, this is a business (worth a couple million dollars right now) that is looking to prey on lonely and socially isolated people. I find it completely despicable to exploit your fellow human beings in this manner.
But previously with the Snowden and Manning leaks, journalists still published the leaked docs (with selective redactions for truly sensitive content). In this case, I've not seen any actual docs linked or published, even though they claim "they're on Twitter"

I would guess that the author of the library has full control both over optimal parallelization of a build and minimal autoconf, but he can still observe a huge speedup, so I'd still like to read his answer.

Wow, that's a nice way to put it. I haven't seen that P(A|B -> A) notation before. Where does it come from?

But I think the OP is arguing, essentially, that P(A|B -> A) is only an interpretation of P(A|B) that we have chosen, among the many possible interpretations of P(A|B).

Which I think evokes the problem of induction. How do we know that P(A| B -> A) when all we can observe ourselves is P(A|B)?

That is correct. The Selectric (and Selectric II and III) are entirely electric. Later Selectric variations, like the Mag Card II, introduced electronics in a separate console or in a board fitting at the back of the machine, but the typewriter proper remained electromechanical, where the only electric part is the electric motor.

That is pretty disingenuous response IMO.

> For example, can I use the C backend to compile zig to C, and then use the system compiler as I would normally do with a meson cross file or CMake toolchain file?

It's possible, but:

1. The C backend isn't 100% there yet. You won't be able to use all features and might run into bugs.

2. The generated code won't be very readable, it's arguably not too different from just using Zig-compiled object files directly in terms of "opaqueness" and legibility.

If neither of these are a big problem for you (both points are likely to improve with time), then yes, you could do that.
Not yet, you're right - but if the World Bank is to be believed, it has raised 900 million people out of extreme poverty. That's astonishing compared to how everywhere else seems to be doing.

It was just a right moment. 7 years ago Splunk did not have a solution for showing to customers. Splunk has an app store where I published the apps, we become technical partners, and even participated with Splunk in a few tech events together as partners, like Docker, Kubernetes, RedHat conferences.

We don’t offer anything crazy on the support side. 2 business days reply. It is not sas, so nothing crazy to monitor from our side.

Also, we have insurances, a lot of resellers, we are technical partners with a lot of companies, have 7 years experience of business behind us.

It all came with time, and we build our confidence.
How naïve of you to think that AI won't be coming for SAAS next. With all the API externals, the social media activity of all your employees and a video feed through the window of one of your home-working coders, a next-gen coding AI just reverse-engineered your entire software stack. With how porous modern systems are, no back-end code worth stealing hasn't been stolen.

Just now imagine that they had to rush to find acceptable hacks to be able to have their plane back in service. The fastest possible.
Zig will eventually support compiling to C, so any platform not directly supported that has a working C compiler will work.
Yes, of course.

Sidekiq is one of my favorite things about using Ruby, I include it in my short list every time a "Why use Ruby?" question gets asked. I miss it desperately when I work in other languages. I plan on giving Faktory a shot ASAP.

Mike has always struck me as a great guy, really the kind of person who you're happy to know is building one of your favorite tools. In a world of starving open source contributors and mega corps throwing around weight, his success with Sidekiq stands out. It makes me very happy to see.

Can you elaborate? To me this makes no sense whatsoever, and I can easily provide a counter example. Islam is not democratic in the Western sense, yet its laws curb corruption.
Zig things that I miss when I have to go back to C:

- All integer operations trap on overflow in safe build modes; with explicit operators for saturating or wrapping arithmetic

- No implicit integer promotion unless the destination type can represent all values of the source type (so no implicit signed/unsigned conversions unless they're statically guaranteed to be safe - e.g. a u8 can coerce to an i32 but not to an i8)

- Arbitrary bit-size integers (C23 will have this)

- Enums that are actually useful and fun, vs the complete waste of time that C's enums are (Enum values are namespaced, you can't directly use their values as integers, you can control the underlying representation if you want, etc)

- Built-in support for tagged unions, also known as sum types (bare union + a tag indicating which field is active)

- Safe unions in safe build modes (compiler inserts a hidden tag to track which field is active)

- A standard library that's actually useful (it's small compared to some other languages, and not well-documented yet, but it's not littered with landmines the way C's is)

- A modern import system instead of preprocessor-style copy/pasting text

- Compile-time programming in Zig, instead of preprocessor macros

- Arrays are an actual type, instead of decaying to pointers

- Much better support for pointers (pointer + length AKA slices are the primary way to deal with multiple items whose length can vary at runtime; also single-item pointers and multi-item pointers are different types, so you can't accidentally index into a single-item pointer or attempt to dereference a multi-item pointer without providing an index)

- Errors must be handled, with convenient syntax for passing the error up the stack + inferred error sets so that you don't have to explicitly annotate the set of possible errors for most functions

- Nulls encoded in the type system so that they must be explicitly handled.

- test blocks for writing tests inline and running them with `zig test`
It is based on what IBM called the "I/O typewriter", which was a Selectric variant with switches and solenoids. Pretty cool stuff.
I’ve been there and I agree.
These arguments are a bit boring. Machine learning for a chat bot is not a person "learning". It's software. Also I hate to break it to you but humans also pay to learn. It's why books, universities and other learning content costs money one way or another.

It looks impressive at first glance, but it's really not that impressive.

It sounds like everything had been taken care of for her, which simply means the person was "crazy" enough to commit herself to an experience that a lot of people either wouldn't want to do, or didn't have the time to do. The article does not mention it, but I am sure this person has her life structured in a way where she was able to (financial and responsibility wise) do this without a second thought because "being quiet" is also part of her personality.

Not to discount her record or anything, but it's nothing more than a record.

I don't mind the downvotes btw, but let me just point out that Yogis live in caves for 30 years at a time, and good luck earning their trust to let some scientists monitor real changes in the mind.

I think the key here is "voluntarily".

Everyone is built different, I think I would have done good in a similar situation. I'm already an introvert, but having kids, a wife and bills to pay sometimes just gets overwhelming. I have a friend that has been in and out of jail for the last 10 years or so. We talk a few times a year (at my expense) and I hate to admit I sometimes get jealous. Every time he gets out, he goes right back to his old self: smoking, drugging, and missing parole meetings until finally a warrant is issued. I would think I would emerge from a jail cell full of newly gained wisdom. I'd reenter the world a master plumber, HVAC tech, CPA, and maybe even psychologist. Heck might even have some wonderful startup ideas. But in the current grind of things, I feel I have no room for self improvement or learning.

My guess is similar metrics yield similar solutions. With extensive copying, of course. You can bet that the product managers keep a close eye on things that are even vaguely competitive. But I think it's the metrics (and metrics-driven culture) that is the underlying cause.

I don't know if this is exactly what you wanted to see, but I tried this:

I asked:
For this question, assume any number I use is binary. Do humans have 10 legs?

And this was the reply:
If we assume that any number you use is in binary, then the number "10" is actually 2 in decimal. Humans have 2 legs, so based on your premise, the statement "humans have 10 legs" is correct in this context.

I love to get philosophical, so I'm gonna throw this thought experiment here:

Let's say that there was a highly advanced civilization that existed way before the current civilized society. They performed scientific experiments and gained a lot of insight, but a catastrophical event erased them from the face of Earth together with all their knowledge.

Did that civilization engage in science?

If you think that they did, indeed, engage in science, then what is the difference between them and any other closed community that performs scientific experiments?

Or, if you think that they didn't, in fact, engage in science, then does that mean that science is only science if you and I, today, can gain access to the knowledge derived from the experiments? Therefore, science is defined by its utility to us?

It improves Adam in the full-batch setting, which is not usually done or desired since minibatch should regularize and improve the loss.
So far AI art is doing the opposite: increasing the amount of crap that people produce. The kinds of people who were once limited to underpaying ghostwriters to make spam books for Audible[0] can now chuck together a few prompts to ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion and get the same result. Yes, you have to be good at art in order to make good art with AI, but that doesn't matter when your goal is to create spam.

The idea that artists should "do stuff for the joy of creating" is just plain insulting, too. They already do that. While artists would love to see, say, AI art models that were trained with licensed or public-domain data; training data theft isn't even their biggest concern. Their biggest concern is having the fun sucked out of their job as the artful minutae of drawing or writing is replaced with finding the correct combination of words to make Stable Diffusion draw the character you want with exactly the same details every time. It would be like if you worked at a PC building shop and one day the boss said "Actually we're just going to be an Apple authorized reseller now." The thing that's destroying artists' jobs being trained on their own work is just insult to injury.

To be clear, though, AI doesn't "steal and resell content" in the vast majority of cases, either. Regurgitation is a thing, but the cause is duplicate data in the training set making it advantageous to memorize a few images to improve loss metrics. Most diffusion model architectures are not big enough to memorize the whole training set, or even large pieces of it.
