If you have integers that are stored in floating point types and don't need more than [mantissa] bits of precision, you can operate on them like ints and always* get the right result. Nobody would expect that the formula `return new_maxhp * (old_hp / old_maxhp);` would work with ints, but they see floats as magic that allow them to drop their guard about precision and rounding of operations. Unfortunately not.

Rationals have a big problem where under multiplication and division they need to be re-normalized periodically, and that re-normalization is slow (running gcd). Under addition and subtraction, rationals are great.

*the one big difference is that division rounding is different
'Sea Spray' was pretty bad, but the 'Large Area Coverage'[0] experiment was also pretty horrific, and basically involved dusting St Louis and other cities with radioactive materials and random carcinogens.

> I know that most EVOO is garbage.

I don't know about "garbage". What do you mean by "garbage"? Do you mean not from olives? Not extra-virgin? Or just not very nice? Where? Perhaps this is true in the USA? I'm in Europe, and I don't know anything about the US olive oil market.

I do believe that a lot of EVOO isn't what it purports to be; for example, I believe a lot of purportedly Italian EVOO is cut with Spanish oil; but I can't substantiate that belief.
Yes, a live demo would be great.
Sure I made it sound trivial, but that's in the context of comparison with state of the art semiconductor engineering.

Semico. engineering is current "rocket science" of 70s.

Cross-platform GUIs aren't novel. Frameworks for this shit probably appear every year and are as messy as existing ones.

It's a mess, hard mess, but not novelty, not the edge of science / engineering. The problem is to get people to agree on something.

>and is the plattform for most commercial transactions and normal communications now

What's so novel about it? SMS or even your Master/Visa cards were doing it for decades

IRC, Email too.

And of course still: we were using Web browser as platform those things for decades.

It's not a bleeding "edge" technology in $currentYear.

WebAssembly ecosystem? yet another collection of VMs/Compilers/Intermediate Languages?

We were doing it for decades.

>sandboxed applications

Ok, that's fair point - there's novelty needed.

Very often because we try to write technology that's... easy to fuckup? idk - check how huge % of CVEs is related to JIT compiler

or because we write it in unsafe languages - check how huge % of CVEs is related to mem. issues.

But yea, I agree on security - stuff like postquant crypto and other protections.
It’s not only 10x cheaper, it’s also way faster at inference and not as smart as Davinci. IMO the only logical answer is that the model is just smaller.

Many car manufacturers actually want you to pay for apple CarPlay / android auto now via a subscription. I won't be buying cars that ditch CarPlay or require a subscription for it. I'd sooner buy a dumb car and fit the necessary components for CarPlay myself.

As noted in other comments, the standard infotainment systems in cars are so poor. Why would I opt for them in place of CarPlay / Android Auto? This is just greed. Plain and simple.
It's so stupid. I have a 10 year old son. If I died today, why should he have the right to try to profit from all my creative output until he's 80 years old?

I get leaving the fruits of creative work for your progeny so they can have a buffer after you die, but I strongly disagree that the period should be the length of three human generations. My work should belong to my culture and my world after a decade or so, and really, a decade after publication, not after I die.

It is not natural to treat ideas like regular property. Some degree of ownership and control is needed in a market economy, but even for the life of the creator is excessive and stupid. I can create a cultural phenomenon, but unilaterally decide that it doesn't belong to the culture until 150 years after it was popular? Total bullshit.
> Real triangulation generates a mesh that only generates triangles between the outer and inner contours, and mesh shaders aren't good at that.

I'm a bit confused. Can't you send the shape of O as a low res rough band (a closed wide loop) and enhance it in the mesh shader? This is how previous generation tessellation shaders and sub-division surfaces worked.
People have trouble answering the question "does $animal possess consciousness", and most animals have been around for many many kyears.

They've been doing this for a while. MacOS Tiger included "Built-in FireWire ports" as a system requirement which led to some weird things like the 2000 366MHz iBook and the 1999 B&W 300MHz PowerMac G3 being supported but not the 2000 350MHz iMac G3.

A lot of large companies stage senior execs in places to simply say they have business presence for tax purposes. Just look at any company that has a bunch of top execs in Switzerland but don't actually make anything there.
It is OK to slow down development, take some more profit, maybe keep doing the human in the loop RL refinement, etc.

From an engineering standpoint, even the less powerful GPT-3.5turbo model handles NLP tasks, really nice tools like LangChain and LlamaIndex that I covered in my last book make it easy to use your own data sources.

I think the possibilities of using what we currently have in useful projects are vast.
I suspect few people will see this, compared to the alarming articles in 2021 about this incident that spread far and wide.

Apple Shortcuts is just rubbish shell scripts with an excellent GUI. Scratch is certainly a programming language: it even has a textual representation. https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Block_Plugin/Syntax. I haven't used GNU Radio.

Some of these "no-code" systems aren't programming languages, but the examples you've given are definitely programming languages. They've even got their own Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language) which lists GNU Radio (though it also says behaviour trees are programming languages, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt).
Maybe it’s different when working for a company, but I’ve been self employed + worked in a foreign country under a tourist visa for 5 months. On arrival I was taken to an interview room for 5 mins to explain how I would fund my trip, explained I ran my own business working online, and once I confirmed I would not be working for a local company while there they were perfectly happy.
Why would you train the model on shorter context than you can provide? Why not provide all context you have? Sure the model has to learn to handle short context, but that occurs naturally at the beginning of the document.

Anyways, this still involves only left-side masking. Why mask future tokens when sliding window can do that (without wasting a single token of context)?

Where necessary, I provide extra explanations, or paraphrase subtitles for the preschooler.

> The only downside to CarPlay is that the battery stays at 100% charge. I wish I could limit that to 80%. Especially if we take long drives this degrades the battery unnecessarily.

I think that fast charging is just as bad, if not worse.
Not what I said. The fact that you would choose to make a straw-man argument instead of a proper debate speaks volumes.

The fact is a person was stabbed to death and was begging people for help. Why didn't they help?
Maybe because people pushed it into their head that it's all crime and that we shouldn't help strangers. Yes. Homeless people in SF are sometimes scary as hell, I know and I don't blame the people who didn't help. But adults discuss facts and reach conclusions based on factual detail. Not based on fitting into ones political narrative.
I liked the following book very much:

I tend to feel that way mainly towards new features that are very similar to ones that already exist. eg. WebGPU being a more advanced form of WebGL. Yes they work differently, but they generally solve the same problem.

Eventually I'd like to see WebGL deprecated, and perhaps an extension released to reimplement it. Or it could be adapted to translate calls to WebGPU, rather than having a completely separate implementation.

Is that realistic? No, of course not. Browser vendors take backwards compatibility pretty seriously, and WebGL is used on a ton of websites. Still, that'd be my preferred solution for avoiding said feature creep.
Back in my day websites didn't have loading screens. Now that computers are way faster they somehow do.
I don't quite understand your comment, but I think you have your definition of "silver bullet" backwards. It means a solution that works incredibly, almost magically, well.
I think more accurate to say:
“Lowers the probability of particular models”

We still have open questions the standard model doesn’t answer — like what’s up with gravity? …why didn’t we have equal parts antimatter? …does braiding have wider implications than anyons? Etc.
Whatever the profit margin of an individual car is, the car manufacturing business is not a high profit margin business. GM/Toyota/Honda/Ford show 5%, to maybe 10% profit margins.

They would definitely benefit from convincing people to pay for 50%+ profit margin software as a service subscriptions.
> Being able to sow dissent, for example, can be way more of a force multiplier than outnumbering the opponent on the field.

Not even just dissent, eg despair used to generate an advantage in morale can be incredibly powerful.

Alternatively misinformation can push you towards bad tactical decisions.

At some point we're going to have to drop the pretense of running an operating system underneath because the browser is the operating system.
I'm increasingly convinced that peoples' problems with 754 types are psychological. With integers, they are very careful about order of operations, precision, rounding, etc. With doubles, the average programmer fires and forgets. Sometimes that has bad consequences.

A decimal type is definitely necessary, and you can use IEEE decimal floating point for that, too! Other decimal types are very useful. Rationals are a different story: rational numbers are great for addition and subtraction, but if you're going to be doing a lot of multiplication and division, you are going to find yourself also doing a lot of slow gcd calculations to reduce/renormalize the fractions (incidentally, decimal types also need renormalization, but it's a lot cheaper). Most cases where rational types are used today are very careful about not having long chains of these operations.

As to NaNs: those are all considered pretty carefully, and 754-2019 actually reduced the amount of NaNs that propagate around quite a bit. For example, make sure you are using fmax(a, b) instead of std::max<double>(a, b).

When read with a history bias, that title makes for a long and deep source of confusion.
Formulate the loss function -- you'll find it's just

loss(the-right-answer(perfect-x) - perfect-y)

The most important aspect of "the-right-answer" is its ability to ignore almost all the data.

The existence of planets is "predictable" from the difference between the data and the theory -- if the theory is just a model of the data, it has no capacity to do this.

If you want to "do physics" by brute force optimization you'd need to have all possible measures, all possible data, and then a way of selecting relevant causal structures in that data -- and then able to try every possible model.

loss(Model(all-data|relevant-causal-structures) - Filter(...|...))) forall Model

Of course, (1) this is trivially not computable (eqv. to computing the reals) -- (2) "all possible data with all possible measures" doesn't exist and (3) selecting relevant causal structure requires having a primitive theory not derived from this very process

animals solve this in reverse order: (3) is provided by the body's causal structure; (2) is obtained by using the body to experiment; and (1) we imagine simulated ways-the-world-might-be to reduce the search space down to a finite size.

ie., we DO NOT make theories out of data. We first make theories then use the data to select between them.

This is necessary, since a model of the data (ie., modern AI, ie., automated statistics, etc.) doesnt decide between an infinite number of theories of how the data came to be.
The difficult thing is that the concept of law implies law enforcement, which leads to a national security complex.

Ideas like human rights etc are great but only get applied to the extent that the most powerful entities allow them to be applied.

This is why a proactive and well-informed (and some would say well-armed) citizenry is crucial. All entities like governments, corporations, the UN, the EU, down to individuals, will obey the laws of physics because they have to, and the laws of humans... if they are made to.
It's difficult to tell if you're in a minority or not, because this is an area where one can say a lot of different things about themself and still be correct.

We also tend to think in abstract concepts but we also narrate things like text we're reading or sort of talk to ourselves in our mind when we're doing things. How do we know if we're explicitly deciding? No idea.

But we do know that our speed of thought is not limited by how fast we can mentally narrate, and translating things into words isn't an overhead on anything. Our thoughts aren't made of words, the words only describe thoughts that we have already derived.

Weirdness all around!

Yes. The T2 is in charge of a lot, keyboard/trackpad input on laptops, the SSD, etc. To get keyboard/trackpad input working you need a custom kernel as drivers still aren't in the mainline kernel.
I do agree that large scale layoffs should always include execs. Not even from a moral standpoint, but just from a logical one. Execs have the greatest ability to shape a company and are therefore most responsible when things go wrong. After all, how likely is an exec than runs a company into the ground likely to successfully manage a turnaround?

Of course, if a company’s execs control the company (have majority shares) then they can do whatever the hell they want - including firing everybody and running the company into the ground if they feel like it.

There's also the whole skins thing, but yeah generally speaking Valve has a very good record and I'm always a bit sus about people claiming it is an awful thing for gaming. Apparently they don't remember what PC gaming was like before Steam.
Yeah, there's nothing like visiting a beautiful village somewhere like Mexico (or Eastern Europe in my case)... such wonderful traditions, an old woman taking her goats and sheep out. An old man plowing a field with a horse and a wooden plow that looks no different than what his ancestors used 150 years ago. The best chicken soup you've ever had - made from an old rooster (good luck finding one of those for sale back home). Delicious sour homemade yogurt - made from the milk from the same old woman's flock!

Yeah, the beauty of simplicity... but OTOH, you had to dial all those phone numbers by hand, the quality for long distance calls was sometimes so bad that you had trouble understanding anything at all, when the phone rang, you had no idea who was calling (or who had called when you didn't get to the phone in time) etc. Newer technology is orders of magnitude more complicated, but it enables you to transmit not only voice, but also several Mbps of data over the same two thin telephone wires.

We've had months where Gravitrax has dominated the house and been very popular. Dedicated table for it in the living room. At one point, my 10yo son and I would make a very elaborate set of tracks every night. We'd start with a three way splitter at the high point and take one run each, and leave the third for one of his sisters. But after a while, unless I have time to play it with him, his interest fades and he does crosswords or reads instead.

Many years ago, I set up something like the tumble game for them. Not computing anything, but more like a maze. Tilted the coffee table slightly and let them stick Lego pieces to the surface and attach rubber bands, then roll marbles down. That was popular for a bit.
