It's better because

1. it's using vicuna as a base.

2. It has a pretty high quality fine-tuning dataset. I initially missed this, and it's a very important advantage.

3. (speculatively) it doesn't collapse to extremely short responses (which BLIP2 and other models trained on image-text caption pairs) because of how small/simple the adapter is.

I was interested in training a BLIP2-LLaMA model before this, and I might still do it just to test (3).

When and How to Win with New Programming Languages
Of course the keyboard is an important tool, but first of all, in this case it's not even a real keyboard, the second thing is how a lot of people constantly feel the need to behave like someone was hurting them if someone closes a bloody website. I mean, of course an keyboard can be an important tool for you, but feeling like an extension of your body is just overdramatic language, go to any construction site and ask the guys if they think their hammer or saw fells like an extension of their body, they probably look at you like you're from Mars. This whole techszene just likes to overdramtize things.

are there no all-day schools in the US? My girlfriend went to one because of her mother being on her own and having to work and it was pretty involved compared to my "normal" school. They handled school, sports and homework. Your kid should come home with only very, very few things to do. It's a trend in germany to have it as an option at more and more schools but they have to build the infrastructure first (may schools in german didn't have a canteen) so it's taking a bit. The schools where I grew up didn't have one but now both "advanced" schools have all day school options.

I think every school should have the possibility to put your kid in an all-day school, I can't imagine the strain on single parents or parents where both have to work a lot otherwise.

Of course it's not possible to eliminate parents as an important factor of the success of your kid, but you can help.

Honestly, who has the time anymore? Domain specific validators like XSDs, JSONSchema, simple enums, and various remote APIs for proprietary formats I need take care of everything well enough. There's just too much high value business work to do. The C-suite doesn't care that I made some DSL, and they're gonna be pissed if future work takes twice as long when it needs updates and testing on top of the actual feature work they want done that relied on an earlier conception of its functional requirements.
You don't need graphs or area at all, of course. All you need is to notice that the frac(x/2) expression is a periodic function that is only integrable piecewise, and is easy to integrate with a change of variables for each piece or a handwave of such.

It's actually gnarly to write out a formal proof as a new student would do (it requires principle of induction to handle all the pieces), but easy for an expert to breeze through as trivial.

The makes it a bit of an unfair problem for a students trying to follow the rules of math. This is very common challenge for students making the transition to higher math, when they are taught rigorous proofs but before they learn that professionals mathematicians are rarely rigorous (except when there is disagreement about the truth of an "obvious" claim).

Idk. For a ten year battery in a nightly discharge application you get 0.28 AH for each amp he purchased even with the OPzS cells. First you have to diéntate to .7 for a nightly discharge rate, then to reach 10 years of life span you have to de rate to 0.4 depth of discharge .

So if for example, you need 1600 AH, you would spend $1500 for a 2000 AH lLiFe02 bank, plus 150 for a decent BMS, so $1800 US including shipping.
(Just bought our 5th and 6th banks)

For the OPzS, you would need to buy 5714 AH to get the same cycle life and longevity, plus you have to write off 38 percent of your charging energy due to voltage and discharge rate discrepancies vs about 10 percent for the LiFeO2.

I seriously doubt you could obtain 5700 AH, shipped to your location, for less than $1800.. and then the size, maintenance, and corrosion issues (some of that goes away with the considerably more expensive sealed designs) also add to the headache.

If the battery magazine will be subject to below freezing temperatures, both types incur additional risks and energy costs for the lithium, you must heat it prior to charging. For the lead, you will need to add another 40 to 50 percent capacity to meet your target power capacity.

I agree. In a way, all applications have a sort of implicit Domain Specific language in them. You have a bunch of things (nouns or types) and you can tell the application to work with those things in certain ways (language).

When I learned Haskell at University there was a lot of emphasis on EDSL (embedded domain specific languages), where haskell allows you to define grammars inside haskell. There are many examples of EDSL:s in other langauges but Haskell takes things a bit further. I think there could be a good point in allowing such approaches in more languages. I heard that Rust has ADT:s, which is a good building block for EDSL:s.

It might make things a lot clearer, or it might make things over engineered. I'm a bit on the fence about it. It probably makes things more manageable in the long run.
It's been a while since I've given serious thought to this question but I'm glad it's asked because I would like to re-learn and find out if those using it do so for the reasons I perceive PostgreSQL to be "superior" based on talk among peers. The basic "MySQL is faster but lighter on features" is what I recall hearing; also that PostgreSQL is "multi-paradigm" in that you can run document/NoSQL tables, ETL, and data warehousing all in one product. Then again, maybe MySQL supports JSON tables now as well and I just haven't noticed since my head has been in the AWS cloud and tied to Dynamo for the last three years.

I am sort of surprised this coming from Chip and Cheese didn't talk about the Hardware part, die size of HEVC, AV1, VVC Encoder and Decoder. The complexity of DSP / ASIC.

Although it is probably worth mentioning, HEVC manage to hit 90 VMAF on 4K with only 1.5Mbps. You can infer that with 2K / 1080P which is the most common resolution would require less bitrate. So depending on business model a new codec might actually cost more in terms of total storage requirement than Bandwidth Saving as bandwidth cost continues to fall. ( Think YouTube )

i.e The codec to replace AVC / H.264 needs to be so so much better. Otherwise a higher bitrate AVC may actually be better than a newer codec.

I also wonder if we could derive a royalty free codec from JPEG-XL.

I don't blame developers (or users) for these issues because I completely understand not wanting to transition your whole life and career to a different platform that you might enjoy less.

If by “people,” you mean “people who rely on HTTPS for security,” then it seems like you’re saying that every hosted software company is getting it wrong. HTTPS is the foundation of the “zero trust” security model as implemented by Google, MS365, Facebook, AWS, etc.

I think it’s more likely you are not considering the full picture of the TLS ecosystem, or are making arbitrary distinctions like “cert transparency logging isn’t actually part of HTTPS” or something.

Consider that Symantec basically did what you suggest (mis-issue some certs) and not only was it detected and mitigated, they lost their CA business entirely over it.
One of my earliest great Linux experiences was when I set up my 486 to download all of the floppy images (or maybe it was the Yggdrasil .iso), then went to Op Amp Bookstore in Los Angeles for lunch, finding myself an Yggdrasil distro, returning home, cancelling the download and getting on with it ..

a. Independent discovery of same algorithm is very likely before 17 years.

I think it would have been far more popular if Rogaway hadn't kept it patented well beyond the point where it was clear patented crypto had no future. It's a pretty neat solution to the problem and the continued insistence on restricting its usage with a patent is one of the more baffling things I've seen in the crypto world.

What really blows my mind about driving is that with a little bit of training, we get a feel for how big the car is. You can squeeze into a tight parking lot and you won't scratch your or the other car! By feel! We can somehow transfer our feeling for how big our body is to avoid running into obstacles, to feel how big our car is.

There is nothing in the history of mankind that would need for this to be a possible skill; no conceivable evolutionary pressure lead to being able to transfer the feeling for the size of our body onto other objects, while being inside those objects. We can just do that!
> Wait now you're now making a different point entirely.

No. You misunderstood what I've been saying since the first paragraph of my initial post.

I've been consistently saying that the E-sports is kinda awful, and that that scene is generally at odds with the sort of folks who like playing with fun and interesting toys.

Once the E-sports locusts solidly descend on something, its nature gets changed (by association, at minimum). Nintendo clearly (and correctly) doesn't want that, so they're right to discourage it.

They're a "fun and interesting toy" company, not a "professional, competitive e-sports games" company.
My biggest gripe with GBoard is the word prediction for swipes that are ambiguous.

It consistently gives me "sine" over "some" and never learns. I type "sine" maybe a couple of times a day and type "some" dozens of times a day. I imagine getting the weighting right is tricky but it just seems to be wrong most of the time.

I don't remember SwiftKey being any better but I might give it another try just in case.
I didn't mean to say that recommendations give explicit alternatives. A temperature recommendation without explicit time is implicitly instantaneous, and without explicit location is implicitly at the coldest spot. From that, you can infer that the recommendation might be overkill, but not by how much.

I didn't know that they officially reduced the temperature and added a rest time, despite the article announcing the changes being over a decade old, so thank you for the link. I'm curious if it was in response to something like so many people ignoring the recommendation that they were getting sick, or if the baked ham industry advocated for it.

Tooll3 comes from the demoscene. It was used to make many demos. It is really uncommon to make demotools that are cross-plateform because most demos try to take full advantage of the plateform they are running for various reason.

Its poor form to be calling it 'Open' AI. So I guess its swings and roundabouts. Everyone is leeching where they can.
I always had the dream of building a language, then I did it and found what an extraordinary undertaking it is, and abandoned it. The issue is not getting something working early on or lack of supporting tooling. The issue (as I see it) is that most well known languages are extraordinarily sophisticated not just in their syntax but also things like debugging, profiling & analysis. Once you start conceptualising an entire system to get actual work done, you realise it really isn’t feasible as a lone endeavour. While not impossible, it’s very hard to be an expert in all these fields. You are therefore presented a choice: somehow fund your language (maybe you’re rich), or make it open source. Just open sourcing something isn’t a silver bullet either, successful projects often have a charismatic leader. I generally prefer to program alone when working on vanity projects, so I figure I’d just wait until someone invents something that most aligns to my tastes (SerenityOS/Jakt is close).

On a random balcony in a city? I don't know how efficient turbines are, but that doesn't sound very promising.
I think that wind turbines are harder for DIY because they need to be mounted well above the roof height to get non-turbulent airflow.
I find the efforts of the archeologists not to apply cultural norms particularly interesting:

In other circumstances, a caste system might be seen in a less favourable light:

> I like the egg myth because it suggests that the Chimú understood that social and political inequality is ‘baked in’ to humanity from the beginning,” says anthropologist Robyn Cutright of Centre College.

Similarly the discussion of preferring other people's children for child sacrifices. This is ascribed to their support desire for cultural diversity and laying new cultural roots.
> “The Chimú had the ability to draw on a large terrain, and I think they were reaching out to diverse regions to find children for the sacrifices”
> By sacrificing the children and burying them, they were, in a way, planting new ancestors.”

I hope the original archeologists have not been quoted out of context or that I have not misinterpreted them.

Either way it is quite amusing. I do not think I would regard child sacrifices in entirely the same positive light or even neutrally ...

At least one 'Toot' from a registered user a day = 1 daily active user (DAU), no matter how many times they toot, boost, reply or whatever.

> Dividing MAU by 30 would not be a good approach.

It is. By doing so with the top 20 Mastodon instances [0] we get even less than 50,000 users using it daily, hence the generous approximation. Even if we don't, we can only imply that the DAU is ultimately far less than 100,000 users a day, posting at least once on the platform.

This is why many Mastodon supporters would rather not tell me the daily active users and would immediately avoid mentioning it, which this is the real reason why they cannot claim that millions are using it 'daily'.

Yeah, this is definitely an issue that comes up with YouTube again and again, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I still understand that creators stick with YouTube, especially because there's nothing like it out there in terms of reach for long-form content.
Consider this: if math could be patented, IMHO we'd still be in the stone age. Maybe patents made sense two hundred years ago, but these days, they are mostly used as a tool for fighting between big corps and scaring the hell out of small players.

On the other hand, if solo inventors do not know how to monetize their invention, they should give/sell it to someone who will know, not to milk the idea it for decades.
> Another implementation, that I feel is far fairer is allowing me to interface with Microsoft Word so I could develop an alternate route to repair whatever functionality isn't working.

I routinely encounter bugs in software that wouldn't be fixable with some API. How about something like "it crashes on startup when I have graphics driver X installed" for example, if it turns out to be due to a bug in Word rather than in the graphics driver? This is the sort of weird interaction that usually leads to me wanting to fix things.

IME, API access tends to be about additional functionality or integrations, not bugfixing. I equate "right to repair" with the latter, not the former.
