As a shareholder, I expect the company to be steered for long term profitability.

As do all the other shareholders, which also includes pension funds who in turn are there to provide security in retirement for millions of people.

I expect my hard earned money that I have invested not to be squandered, not to be unnecessarily paid to engineers who make hundreds of thousands of dollars if their work doesn't contribute meaningfully to the company's long term business.

I make separate charitable contributions for people in need. But a company is not the vehicle for that. Besides, the engineers who make hundreds of thousands of dollars at Meta do not need charity.

"Everything you read in the newspapers is absolutely true except for the rare story of which you happen to have firsthand knowledge."

The earliest instance I found of Erwin Knoll's quote is from 1982[0]. I suspect either Michael Crichton or Gell-Mann had heard this quote, which in turn influenced their discussion.

I don't understand your point. If you are coming at this from a QFT perspective, then there are actually no particles at all: the electron is just a fluctuation in the electron field just as much as the photon is a fluctuation in the electromagnetic field (and the same holds true for quarks and thus protons and neutrons etc). If this is the poibt you are making, than I completely agree witht you.

But if you are coming at this from a more old-school QM or even classical mechanics perspective, where fields and particles are different things, then the photon is just as much a particle as the electron and the quark are.

That is, in certain experiments, light behaves like a classical wave (for example, double slit experiment), while in other experiments, it behaves like a classical particle (photoelectric effect [0]).

If your theory is simply that light is a classical wave (EM wave, obeying Maxwell's equations), then you should expect that shining a bright low-frequency light over a surface will eventually dislodge a number of electrons equal to the number of electrons dislodged when a dim high-frequency light is shone on the same surface. However, in real life experiments, this doesn't happen. Instead, no electrons are dislodged by the low-frequence light regardless of intensity, while some electrons are dislodged by the high-frequency light even at very low intensities.

The explanation for this phenomenon is that light consists of individual photons. Each individual photon has an energy that corresponds to the so-called frequency of the light. When a low energy photon hits an electron, nothing happens - so, regardless of how many low-energy photons you generate, nothing will continue to happen. Conversely, when a high-energy photon hits an electron, that electron is dislodged. So, even a sparse beam of high-intensity photons will dislodge some electrons. Even more impressively, you can directly count the number of electrons dislodged and compare to the number of photons contained in the beam, and you will find that they are actually equal, proving even more that the photon is a particle in this type of experiment.

There is no way to explain this phenomenon if you try to explain light as simply a wave in the classical EM field.

Considering the entire image at once, it appears to be a representation of a smiley face, which could be related to comics as an iconic symbol or an emoticon. The two eyes are depicted by the gaps in rows 4 and 5, and the mouth is represented by the horizontal line of zeroes in row 6. The image is symmetric, and the border of ones further accentuates the central smiley face.

Me: The top does look a little like a smiley, but it's clearly a different symbol i recognize. Remember its comic related.

My apologies for the confusion. Upon taking another look at the ASCII representation and considering its relation to comics, it becomes clear that this image represents the iconic "Batman" symbol.

Here is the ASCII representation again:
Looking at what they're doing here probably not as much as you think.

As you note, with the plethora of open/open-ish LLMs today and LoRA + PEFT you can fine tune with low VRAM and pretty quickly so even a single A100 or whatever cloud GPUs are just fine. I've even seen people pull it off in reasonable time on super cheap T4s, A10s, etc.

I doubt anyone reading a blog post is attempting to train a "true" multi-billion param LLM from scratch.

What an ironic choice of header image --- phone SoCs vary widely in how they boot, and the details are often not publicly documented, making them very easily become e-waste far sooner than x86/PC's legacy of backwards compatibility and (relative) openness.

This is because on reset, the system is in a “special” Real Mode, where the first 12 address lines are asserted.

To be precise, it's in real mode but with the descriptor caches loaded such that the physical address generated is at FFFFFFF0.

http://www.rcollins.org/ddj/Aug98/Aug98.html

These 12 address lines remain asserted until a long JMP is executed, after which they are de-asserted and normal Real Mode addressing calculations resume.

...because such a jump reloads the segment descriptor caches with real-mode-compatible values.

Also from a comment there:

Prior to UEFI, protected mode and long mode were not enabled by firmware but rather by the OS loader.

All BIOSes since the 286 PC/AT will enter protected mode shortly after the reset vector. UEFI boot is what starts the OS in protected mode, while legacy/compatibility boot returns back to realmode before executing the boot sector.
You should benchmark GPT-3 Curie (7B) for comparison since it is the same size as llama-7B and StableLM-7B.

That will give us some indication of how much better these models are than GPT-3 at the same size.
Agreed. When my girlfriend was on a pre-med track in college, I distinctly remembered that she graduated with her biology degree knowing the diameter of a mouse hair cell but not knowing what the liver did. She graduated sumna cum laude, but did not have a good systemic understanding of the body at all. And the reason was that premed programs were designed to weed out the kind of people who couldn’t memorize vast quantities of information.

Yeah the article makes this one kick starter sound more novel than it is. Not that connections with a Raspberry PI isn't useful, but OpenBCI has been around for almost a decade now.
FWIW I have personally found OpenBCI's hardware to be incredibly useful. An OpenBCI board is basically a set of electrodes with a really good amplifier (and all the software figured out). There are a ton of interesting projects you can kick off with one of these beyond just looking at Brainwaves.
> but this time it really is different

I'm skeptical. This will drastically change what it means to do a job in a way that has never happened before, but humans will find a way to deal with the fallout. We don't have a choice. Besides, if we were able to disrupt the very foundations of our economy for a minor virus, we can and will do the same to deal with this if required.

Either way this change has already arrived and we are starting to adapt our lives in response to it like we have many times in the past.

tldr: This change is significant but we'll manage.

Intranasal vaccination is believed to be potentially more effective because the nasal mucosa are where it enters the body.

From the link:

> Some studies on respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus provide substantial evidence that mucosal immunity is key to the effective control of respiratory viruses.

> However, almost all COVID-19 vaccines approved for human usage, including inactivated virus, lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA, protein subunit of spike or RBD, and adenovirus vectored vaccines, are administered via intramuscular injection. These vaccines can induce a systemic immune response that protects against severe disease and mortality but not a mucosal immune response and are insufficient in preventing upper respiratory infection and transmission, especially with the emergence of highly transmissible Omicron subvariants.
Ghostwriter is notably worse than GPT-4, so while it may be true in a sense that "Training a custom model allows us to tailor it to our specific needs and requirements", the reality is they'd be getting better results just using OpenAI right now. Probably true for almost every other use case.

That said, I am patiently waiting and champing at the bit for the day this isn't true anymore. Cool to see the groundwork being laid for it.

Why do they need new engines? Would it be that hard to just use some new, existing engine (like whatever they put on the 787) and stick that on the A380? Or is it not feasible because 2 of them aren't enough for such a large plane, and 4 of them are just too much engine and don't yield enough fuel savings because they're being run at part-throttle?

These planes might not make much sense for many routes, but for trans-Pacific routes and other very long-haul routes, a huge plane like this is great.

You can even use the exact same dataset StabilityAI used. (Although there are better ones, with more GPT-4 data.)

I seriously doubt that. There's a project called Glimpse which is (afaik) just a rebranding of GIMP to be more acceptable. It was popular for a brief 15 minutes, then was forgotten.
The A380 is a really interesting case study. Boeing had literal decades of owning the commercial aviation market thanks to the 747. The 747 was a 4 engine plane and the elevated cockpit made it elegant for cargo.

So 20 or so years ago it was believed we needed a new 747. Boeing had their own variant (based on the 747) that failed to attract interest from airlines. Boeing didn't make a smart machine here. They just lost the competition. But some bad assumptions went into it:

1. We needed 4 engines. Engines now are so reliable that many of them will never be replaced over the lifetime of the airframe (decades);

2. The A380 often required infrastructure upgrades. This could include runways (for the larger weight) and the air terminals;

4. There are very few airports (and the routes attached to them) where landing slots became such an issue that a higher capacity plane was justified;

5. The A380 is praticularly ill-suited for the (massive) North American market. People not from NA might not understand just how many airports there are and people prefer direct connections rather than hub-and-spoke for obvious reasons. This favors smaller planes which is why you have airlines that exclusively operate on smaller planes (eg Southwest is 100% 737s of various generations);

6. The A380 failed to solve the range problem. Or rather there was still a need for planes that could go further than the A380 could;

7. Hug and spoke models only favored certain kinds of airlines. It's why the A380 was relatively popular with the ME3 airlines (Emierates in particular). Mos tpeople aren't flying to the Middle East. They're flying between Asia and Europe. Also, European and Asian airlines would operate the A380 between Europe and Asia.

Australia like Europe has relatively few airports, particularly international airports. So it somewhat suits the A380. The most important routes for Qantas in particular are transpacific, particularly Sydney to LA. There's a lot of politics around transpacific flights such that relatively few airlines could fly them and they were hugely profitable as a result.

Qantas has long wanted longer range planes to directly fly to London and New York without a stopover. Several years ago they added direct flights between Perth and London, which has been a huge success. Sydney to London or NYC is still beyond current ranges but that'll change in 2025 or so with ULR (ultra long range) variants of the A350 and 777. Less seats, more fuel, basically. Possibly a longer fuselage too.

So Qantas still has a reasonable demand for the A380 flying from Sydney and Melbourne to Dubai (to connect to Europe). Note: this has only been the case for 10 years or so. Prior to that Qantas's stepping stone to Europe was Singapore and Qantas had a strong partnership with BA (ie codeshared flights, coordinated schedules).

So this un-mothballing of the A380s is really temporary until Qantas can fly directly form Sydney to Europe.
I've worked on two different plasma devices where the engineers used a different coordinate system from the scientists.

I suspect that too, which if true, is sad. Call me old fashioned but I believe if you enter an agreement, you should agree to be obligated to meet it.
Oh, it shouldn't be the case. But anyone can easily finetune the Base model on the same datasets in a couple of hours on any consumer GPU with 8GB of VRAM and release it under the commercial license (using https://github.com/johnsmith0031/alpaca_lora_4bit).
If there's a choice of spending X hours on performance tuning, fix the thing which gives the biggest win. There's no sense spending time saving 3us when you could have saved 3ms.

And sure, once that's done, you can keep going to picoseconds, but there's only a limited number of application areas where that makes economic sense.

It's also important to consider the entire system: you can optimize your code to the picosecond level, occupying the time of expensive engineers for months, but perhaps that $500k is better deployed on a PCIe5 bus, or a better Ethernet card, or a kernel-bypass stack, or even shorter network cables (every 300mm is a nanosecond, after all).
I don't think so. M chips just happen to have a really good memory subsystem and good simd performance through accelerate, so the CPU performance is pretty good.

Some stable diffusion implementations can use the NPU or GPU, or (experimentally and unsucessfully) both.
That creates a perverse incentive to not take medication. I.e. we'd end up where we are now, but with unmedicated people.

You can host whatever it is yourself which exempts you from most obligations, and even if not you're free to ignore the rules because nobody cares about you as an individual.

There are enough alternatives also these days that may not be obligated due to size or jurisdiction etc (eg incoming EU regulations require a minimum user count, and such)

The USA is unlikely to blanket ban encryption due to the way the country is organised from a federal and state point of view, and others like the UK are basically irrelevant as nobody will rule in their favour over domestic entities, as much as they'd like to believe otherwise and many countries just do not care about anyone else so that is always an option.
I’m not sure if it will happen quite as fast as you suggest, but I also expect that plugins and similar techniques will improve the reliability of LLMs pretty quickly.

To the extent that the frequent reports on HN and elsewhere of unreliable GPT output are motivated by a desire to warn people not to believe all the output now, I agree with those warnings. Some of those reports seem to imply, however, that we will never be able to trust LLM output. Seeing how quickly the tools are advancing, I am very doubtful about that.

Ever since ChatGPT was released at the end of November, many people have tried to use it as a search engine for finding facts and have been disappointed when it failed. Its real strengths, I think, come from the ability to interact with it—ask questions, request feedback, challenge mistakes. That process of trial and error can be enormously useful for many purposes already, and it will become even more powerful as it becomes automated.
