I have plenty of money (relatively speaking, I don't make FAANG money but I don't worry about paying the rent or saving for a rainy day). I have real trouble spending it though. It almost causes me physical pain to spend money on something I don't regard as essential. I don't like to travel, or eat expensive meals, or go to movies, concerts, shows, etc because I hate to spend the money on it. Don't know what the root of that is, but it bothers other people more than it bothers me.

The hobbies I have are similarly frugal: fixing stuff, repairing old cars, where I feel I've gained some value for the time spent.

>A laptop with arm and x86 cores might allow Microsoft to speed up its transition from x86 to ARM in the laptop/mobile world.

I simply don't see this transition happening. Microsoft is working on a RISC-V port (as per RISC-V CTO talks in the RISC-V Summit), and Qualcomm is unlikely to release many more generations of ARM-based SoCs (as per the lawsuit, and as per Qualcomm's own talks in the RISC-V Summit).

The only way forward is RISC-V.

x86 is finally going away, and RISC-V is its replacement.
I think it's pretty reasonable that if you stab somebody in the park with a kitchen knife, then run back home, the police will be able to confiscate the knife. According to the article I just read, the UK police can't do that, although I don't know if that's actually true.
DeviantArt has taken a very particular direction! I suspect the advent of ArtStation has siphoned away the creatives posting for their portfolio.

I kept trying to use it for finding reference material for a game I was working on, except every query I tried returned results like I had suffixed porn to the search. Maybe deviant is doing more of the heavy lifting in the name now...
I would have compared it to the fine-tuned version if it had been released under a truly open-source license. I think developers implementing LLMs care more about licensing than about the underlying details of the model.

Also t5-base is 220M params vs 3B params of stablelm, not really a fair comparison anyways.

That doesn't sound likely with the current architectures. There may be some kind of specialisation, but NN is like the chip design nightmare. We can't do chips that that many crossed lines. It's going to have to keep the storage+execution engine pattern unless we have done breakthroughs.

Yes, I stuck a PDF of Godel, Escher and Bach, which is a book that my favorite prof in grad school gave me when I graduated back in 1980, of course the PDF is a much later version. But I thought it was pretty decent poem about the book. For anyone who doesn't know, a black out poem means it can only use words from the book or work you provide it.
We have a couple of new estates going in on old farmland next to our 1970's era estate, and the outcry over the fact that building was happening was amazing. There's periodic calls to close a walkway through the wall to the next estate, because the wrong people walk through. This walkway is part of a designated quiet traffic route between parts of town. There's (finally) bike lanes going in on the main road, with initial sitework happening, and the first thing that people yelled about was that they weren't consulted. (Full public comment on that plan has been going on for 5 years. Why it takes 5 years to put a bike lane on .75km of a 50KPH road that connects 5 different schools. None of the students of those schools when the plan was proposed will be still there to take advantage of it.)

At one point last year were 5 places to rent in Meath on the biggest rental site.

We bought about 5 years back, when our rental went up for sale and we couldn't find a new rental then. Hindsight is saying it was a great move, even though prices in our estate have been pretty flat since then.
I was indeed considering this shortly before submitting the comment. Then I remembered we have weapons nowadays not available back then. It is a very bad way to “solve” this issue.

But again that’s the cynical view. The better and more optimistic view is that… it’s all a freaking hype, and we just need to figure out what to do next.
The Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset (ELKS)
Half your examples are wrong, but maybe it is your point. Although it wasn't clear to me the first time I read your comment.

- The cardinality of the odd and even integers is the same.

- It is true there are more points on a plane then on a line (Cantor's theorem.)

- The circle is the compactified real line, i.e. it can be represented as the real numbers with one additional point (the point at infinity). In terms of cardinality they are the same since they just differ by one point which does not change the cardinality.

- There are not more points on a plane than a half-plane, you can find a bijective mapping between them easily.

- There are more rationals than integers: not true, they are both countable sets of the same cardinality.

- There are more reals than rationals, this is true (again Cantor.)

Agreed on both counts, with the added note though that minority government only works in multi-party systems. US-style split government is far less functional.

My understanding of what happened with the electoral reform promise is that the Liberals wanted a specific form of electoral reform: ranked choice. Unsurprising, because as the centrist party, they would stand to benefit most from that system. Which isn't to say I necessarily disagree with it; personally I think a system that encourages moderation is probably a good thing. Anyway, when the committee they put together to study the issue didn't come back with that option, they just shelved the whole thing.

You could've said the same to OpenAI when they were scaling GPT from 1 billion to 175 billion parameters. We're all grateful they didn't follow that line of thought.

But Stability does have access to a pretty big cluster, so it's not paying cloud compute (I assume), so cost will be less, and data of course is not infinite...never stated that.

But considering 3.7 million videos are uploaded to youtube everyday, 2 million scientific articles published every year, yada yada...that argument falls apart.

I got a few viruses myself. There were no free easy to use like we have today to sandbox an application or run a VM and it was well known that almost all cracks/keygen gave false positive. We just rolled the dice and hoped for the best.

The viruses I have seen myself were really not that dangerous. Ransomware were not popular yet and our life not was tied to our computer as much. It was also easy to detect with task manager/services compared to today and it was possible to remove them yourself with your AV or manually. There were far less things running on your PC in the background and internet traffic was minimal.

> As with Pompeii graffiti and warehouse cuneiform tally tablets, from the anthropological perspective, the ephemeral is interesting.

It's only interesting after a looong period were it was very much uninteresting, causing so much to be destroyed until what remained became interesting as a rarity.

I think it's very likely that process of destruction is necessary to make past ephemera valuable.

According to the paper Flash Attention also needs quadratic memory:

Let 𝑁 be the sequence length, 𝑑 be the head dimension, and 𝑀 be size of SRAM with 𝑑 <= 𝑀 <= 𝑁𝑑. Standard attention (Algorithm 0) requires Θ(𝑁𝑑+𝑁²) HBM accesses, while FlashAttention (Algorithm 1) requires Θ(𝑁²𝑑²M⁻¹) HBM accesses.

> Going further R (points on a line) to R^2 (points on a plane) is also the same cardinality. The proofs are over my head but they're out there.

It's just a matter of finding a suitable set of functions. For example, you can try proving |R^2| = |(0, 1) x (0, 1)| = |(0, 1)| = |R| where R stands for reals.The middle equality can be proven using Schröder–Bernstein theorem.

But you're cutoff leaves to the "Dark Ages" the films Frankenstein (1931), Love Me Tonight (1931), 42nd Street (1933), Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933), King Kong (1933), It Happened One Night (1934), The Thin Man (1934), My Man Godfrey (1936), Stella Dallas (1937), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) to name a few.
What's disappointing is that it's not totally obvious to the majority of people in tech and adjacent industries and the public at large how full of shit Elon Musk is. There's no need or benefit for me to sit here and make refined points about why he's problematic and not to be trusted. People will figure it out on their own, or not, like always. The power of reason and sense making to move minds is vastly overated and generally just an empty hobby.

Anyways, TruthGPT is just one more scam and it's clear to anyone familiar with command of the subject matter. Elon Musk is not of them, like usual.

An FPGA isn't any better at accuracy than a software-based emulator.

Accuracy is all about understanding the original hardware. WinUAE matches the current level understanding of the platform, minimig (open FPGA core) does not.

Hardware definitely is harder than software, so FPGA is harder if anything.

... and yet I still prefer hardware. Latency and jitter relative to the target platform is a serious issue with software.

Current computers just aren't made like they used to, and popular operating systems outright suck at guaranteeing latency.

Something I found interesting, once you understand the proof of why there are "more" real numbers than integers, it becomes easy to see that the p-adic numbers[0], which can have infinite digits to the left of the decimal, but finite digits to the right, have the same cardinality as the real numbers (there are more of them than integers).

This was unintuitive to me when I first thought about it, because I pictured a whole number (no fractional part) even with infinite digits, to be in the natural numbers, but in fact it's not. Or put another way, whole numbers with infinite non-terminating non-repeating digits are not natural numbers

Yeah, the estates are crazy. Typical newer estates have one exit, and Walls/Fences surrounding them to make it difficult to cut through.

Essentially, They're designed so that there's no reason to enter the estate unless you're going there. There's minimal network of paths for walking or cycling, and all the car traffic is funneled into increasingly difficult turns onto the main roads.

Older estates might have a few footpaths out -- We're in the closest one to town, 3 different walking ways out, and the ability to walk places is so much nicer than farther out. (Note, there's a dog in the house that drives a lot of the walking we do.)
Of course the A340 got crushed against the 777: it was a fairly inefficient quad jet in an era that nobody wanted quad jets anymore due to the relaxation of ETOPS rules. The twin A330, however, sold very well and still sells well today (A330neo), as does the larger A350.

The 747 also had incredible product market fit, if only accidentally. They were all designed to be freight compatible, because the 747 was meant to be a stopgap before supersonics dominated the skies. Most 747s have happy second lives as freight workhorses.

Yep. Ability to paste file paths (without invoking some other key sequence first) into the gtkfilechooserwidget.c remains broken in Gtk3 and Gtk4. Broken in the sense that you'll get an error message. They say Gtk3.x isn't frozen but it is when it comes to the gtkfilechooserwidget.c. They won't work on it and they won't accept fixes from outside sources.
Personally I recommend Toyotas because they're no drama. You get in, turn the key and go where you need to go. When they fail they generally give you plenty of warning and will keep going anyway. Usually if you just do basic maintenance they'll run forever though. 300k miles isn't uncommon at all. I've put 130k on my 4Runner so far with absolutely no problems whatsoever (and I've taken it places in the desert most people have never heard of). I wouldn't hesitate to get in and drive 100 miles off pavement on a whim even with all that mileage, runs like the day I bought it.

If you do need to work on them they're put together in a way that doesn't make you wonder wtf the engineers were thinking. I've owned and worked on cars from all of these brands as well as a few I'm probably forgetting:

Toyota
Chevy
Ford
Volkswagen
GM (Saturn, Pontiac)

My Saturn SL2 was the easiest American car I've ever worked on, lots of clearance to get to things. Ford was by far the worst, in order to remove the AC compressor I also had to remove the radiator (which necessitated a coolant drain and fill) and power steering pump because there was 1/4" less clearance than needed to pull the bolts. If I'd paid someone it would have been thousands in labor.

By contrast I pulled and replaced the entire suspension on my 4Runner last summer in about 10 hours with just hand tools (upgrade, not replacing failed components).
My thinking is that the path goes thus:

- build on the record of supply chain compromises in npm to justify a provenance system

- establish yourself as one of the trusted authorities on establishing provenance

- spread fear and doubt about untrusted software

- become the trusted source and supplier of software

- open source becomes synonymous with untrusted software, basically malware

- in microsoft we trust

I think microsoft's land grab over open source software was pretty clearly established when they bought github and the general attitude of "they're nice now, it'll be fine" is going to be judged harshly in the future. Or I'm a paranoid crank with a misplaced mistrust of microsoft, who didn't declare "linux is a cancer" or anything like that.
That relates directly to what my question to the GP poster would be: how do you deal with the fact that GPT frequently just makes plausible-sounding shit up? I guess the answer is that you have to spend 10x as much time validating what it says (c.f. the bullshit asymmetry principle) as you do understanding what it is trying to tell you. That doesn't seem like a big win from the POV of wanting to learn stuff.
Believe it or not, but websites could already implement it based on what the user-agent knows about the connection already. `navigator.connection` (returns NetworkInformation - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NetworkInfo...) supposedly holds what the user-agent thinks the connection-type is. Although not implemented in Safari nor Firefox.

Although I do think there are concerns around privacy when it comes to adding more bits people can use to track you, which is probably why it's not implemented in Safari or Firefox yet.

Automatically doing lazy-loading of <img/> tags based on information not shared with the websites probably would break random websites that depend on being able to load images outside of the view of the user, for one reason or another, so probably won't be possible to fix by now.
