I'm obviously not talking about training a 173B model from scratch ahah

If you want to train a model from scratch I was talking more about a small 64x64 DDIM models (that you can then upscale with openly available upscaler DDIM models and maybe finetune).
In most cases however it's better to just finetune the models available, the point is that pressuring companies to not train a model on the data they host doesn't really do much if a single individual can scrape the entire DeviantArt site and finetune a model on it.

Usually I'm a harsh critic of text like this because casual language and what look like casual words but are actually strictly defined domain specific technical definitions are utterly indistinguishable.

However! This book back-references its appendix with grey underlines thus signaling that something has a technical definition and is jargon.

For instance, "loss" is really common English. In ML it's a loss function. You can clearly see it's a special word in this world in the text. Other examples include weights, capacity and channel.

I don't have to sit there confused trying to guess which English words are being used in special ways.

This discipline is fantastic. In some texts, such terms might be italicized but that behavior has seem to fallen out of practice.

A quick google suggests that the price of a lesson is $160-$240 an hour, including instructor's fee. Private pilot 's licence (according to the same infobox) goes for $9k-$15k.

>This encompasses a hierarchy of procedurally-generated NPCs that interact with and remember the player's actions. The patent also covers changes to the NPCs' positions in the hierarchy, as well as their appearance and behaviour, again based on the actions of the player.

I really don't think this article was intended to be informational: how many people actually need to know whether the King technically owns all the swans.

1) A lot of "cheating complaints" in multiplayer games are simply people that suck. There was an article a while ago that examined several of these kinds of games and most people made the most absolutely basic blunders.

2) FPS games have a lot more degrees of freedom to cheat. There is network lag, hidden information, aimbots, etc. Chess, by contrast, has no hidden state and everything is contained on the server. The only way to cheat is simply to play better moves than your level.

3) Cheaters get bumped up in level quickly and wind up against people who can flag them for cheating. Almost all of the master level chess players can identify suspicious "computer" moves. Most systems have a way to flag a game or move for review. Finally, computers can deeply analyze the games and look for behaviors that don't match "humans".

4) The flip side of that is that amateurs blunder so much that they wouldn't be able to tell even if they got cheated against--by and large.

Jerk behavior tends to be far more problematic than cheating. For example, if you get a winning position, it's not uncommon for an opponent to stop playing but make you wait the rest of the time to count the win. You will bump into this, and it will annoy you way more often than cheaters.

> Checking against the datasheet, I came up with ~12.7k to get to 20.4V and the closest I had on hand was 13K

You can measure the 13kOhm resistors that you have and see if there is one with a better matching value. 12.7k is ~97-98% of 13k which is well inside the tolerance of your resistors (it says 5% on the bag).

This problem of skill shortcuts is not confined to programming.

I work on networking. People always want to learn "packet capture analysis" because Wireshark has a cool name and looks impressive.

imo there is no such skill as packet capture analysis.

Once one learns the OSI model and a bunch of Ethernet and TCP/IP implementation behaviour, then what Wireshark presents becomes obvious and supported by that contextual knowledge.

> You're proposing a false dichotomy where the only two options are private landlords and no rental properties whatsoever. There are so many alternate systems of providing housing to people, including social housing, non-profit rental housing, housing cooperatives, building cooperatives, cohousing, intentional communities, community land trusts, communes, land value taxes, etc.

How are most of those things alternatives to housing ownership?

There's really only three possibilities. The occupant owns the place, or some other private party (individual or corporation) owns the place, or the government owns the place (public housing in its many variants).

Everything you list is one of these three (except for LVT which is an unrelated thing).

But language itself does, it's not the model, it's the data that has this ability. It's in the language patterns. Humans use that too - 99.99% of what reasoning we do is just replaying older ideas adapted in context. Being truly original and improving on the best ideas is a rare thing.

One thing I haven’t seen yet in these comments: the cheating scandal brought a lot of attention to the game. It was a great story to pique a young and curious imagination:

- chess is a board game in my closet next to parcheesi and backgammon but it turns out there are chess professionals who play high stakes games

- computers are so powerful that they can beat the best chess players, and you can use a computer to cheat

- the allegation is that a professional chess player managed to receive some kind of covert signal to tell him the right moves. It’s like a spy movie

- the drama continued to unfold with deep statistical analysis of prior games, $100 million lawsuits, and more

CodeMentorGPT
Hi,
I've been working on a new idea for a tool called CodeMentorGPT, and
I would really appreciate your valuable feedback on its potential and any possible improvements. Before I dive into the details, here's a quick overview of what it is:

an AI solution for busy programmers that would love to learn new programming languages, but have no time for it.

A tool that
- show you the key concepts in just 5 bullet points
- removes all the friction to learn a new thing
- Put focus on practice

Designed for busy programmers with family.

Key features include
- it's based on Pareto's 80/20 Law
the AI will show you the key concepts in just 5 bullet points.
So you can accelerate your learning and gain a competitive edge over other programmers.
- Frictionless
the AI removes all the friction to learn a new thing, allowing you to deepen your understanding with just one click.
- Focus on practice
you can see code examples and exercises that are specifically chosen by AI to reinforce your learning for a particular thing to learn.

The Problem

As a full-time developer, dad, and husband, I understand how challenging it is to find time to learn new programming languages.

I'm a backend developer (working with C#), and I always wanted to learn front-end cool languages too, but I didn't want to sacrifice my family time.
When you have little free time, starting to study a new technology seems like an overwhelming obstacle.

The Solution

The power of AI could help us learn faster and better, without compromising our work-life balance.

- You get the essential concepts of any programming language distilled in 5 bullet points, in seconds, without fluff or distractions.
- You click on a bullet point and get other 5 related short bullet points concepts on that thing.
- For each of them, you can even get real code examples and exercises, handpicked by the AI algorithm.
And go on.

In a few frictionless clicks/iterations, you start getting confidence with key concepts of a new technology.

Yup. 100% agreed. Private schools are problematic for other reasons but not because they take away funding from public schools.

I’ve never known codenames to do that. Plus they don’t necessarily match generations.
Yeah, I don’t get why leaving your car windows cracked is supposed to be indicative. I’ve done that even in parts of the Bay Area that are infamous for smash and grabs. They’ll either break your window and be gone 3 seconds later, or they won’t. The cracked window won’t change anything.

It is always possible of course, that most civilizations are not terribly concerned with power, control, possession, expansion ... that they might have completely overcome similar problems of physical existence, become extremely efficient and long-lived, found delightful ways and places to live quiet, harmonious and peaceable lives, and never yearned to amass something visible across the galaxy.

Heck, it's even possible that such civilizations once existed on this planet.
There are many fundamental qualities that can be observed but not quantified. General intelligence being one of them (intelligence tests measure some aspects of it, but not others).

If everything that is real could be quantified, we wouldn't need AI. Traditional computing is already absolutely phenomenal at dealing with quantifiable systems. The whole point of wanting "artificial intelligence" is because we don't know how to quantify the high-level properties of speech, thought, intellect, and consciousness. And not for lack of trying.

Funny, I just found myself posting this comment: https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/why-the-narrow-12v-5-volt...

It's only been a few days but nobody's responded yet telling me not to, so I'll get on with the experimentation shortly.

And yeah, as I just showed in another comment, I just take "18v" drill packs, which are 5-series strings of lithium-ion and thus range from about 15 to 20 depending on their charge range, and pipe 'em directly into my thinkpad's input jack. It charges quite happily until they get down to about 17.5v at which point the battery doesn't have a ton of charge left anyway, and the thinkpad neatly stops drawing current and avoids flattening the pack.

I run the exact same arrangement, with a different plug tip, into my Evolve III Maestro. It comes packaged with a 12v brick but it's experimentally happy between 10.4 and 25.1 volts, so 15-20 is right on the money.

> I'm happy to hear anecdotes where it's seemingly biased this way.

Except that it's not.

For most jurors, being in the defendants chair means guilty. Consequently, it's rare to find people on the jury who will make the prosecution actually do their job.

A friend of mine was on a federal jury for a conspiracy charge. He came into the jury room figuring it would be a slam dunk verdict--the defendant was documented to be out of the country by the prosecution when the supposed in person conspiracy planning was happening. He didn't even understand why this was allowed to come to trial.

But, no, half the jury was basically "He's done bad things and should be in jail." It wound up a hung jury in spite of the fact that there was physical evidence presented by the prosecution that contradicted the whole case.
Eh, no weirder than a government and country bought and paid for by corporations.

My terminal will stop me from closing the terminal if there’s a program running. I’ve also encountered a few problems with tmux from time to time—certain shortcuts stop working in weird, hard-to-diagnose ways, if a program is being run through tmux, or through some combination of ssh + tmux.

A "12v" solar panel typically has an open-circuit voltage around 22v, which is probably fine, but I don't know how Macs are made. You might want to exercise it a little with a benchtop PSU and some instrumentation first.

> it's one of safest ways to invest your money

Are you a landlord? If not, why not, if you are convinced the risks are nonexistent and it's one of safest ways to invest your money?

Reality is that while risk is moderately low (but far from nonexistent), returns are also very low, so being a landlord isn't a particularly good investment. You're much better off in the stock market, at least up to the point where you have so much money that you start needing to diversify.
>CISC (heavily encoded) instruction sets made sense when memory was very expensive

That's assuming that CISC programs are smaller than RISC ones, which is not the case, at least for RISC ISAs with two instruction lengths (CDC6600, Cray 1, first IBM 801 version, RISC-II, and ARMv7 and RISC-V obviously)
I had a course named `Deep Learning` by François Fleure at EPFL, and he is a really an amazing professor, able to share his passion alongside explaining very advanced topics. It does not surprise me to see that his books are of very high quality !

The course was focusing on all of the mathematical aspects of Deep Learning, starting from the simple understanding of the gradient descent algorithm to (trying to) understand how transformers work. There was also quite a lot of computer science involved and lots of practical assignments. One of the 2 projects of this course was to design from scratch in Python or C++ a DNN framework (roughly an API like pytorch or tensorflow) which required to really think properly about which architecture to use for your code. The minimum requirements only asked to implements a few activation, normal layers and convolutional layers but you go beyond that and implements all kind of layers. Lots of fun. This course remains as one of my favorite courses.

I think this particular model is only available in Asia though.

St performs differently based on OS. When tested separately, "linux-st" seems to be at least as responsive as Alacritty, while on Mac OS it's the slowest by far:

All that said I currently use Alacritty because benchmarks are not everything and I much prefer Alacritty's font rendering (aside from missing ligature support).
Am not expert, but here's the understanding I've picked up:

When you use JavaScript through Node, your JS gets the ability to open files and make network sockets and so on, because there are a set of APIs implemented by Node and exposed to your JS code, like so:

JS <-> native APIs <-> Node implementation of platform-specific operations

WASI applies to WebAssembly instead of JS. So again if we're on Node:

wasm <-> native APIs (WASI) <-> Node implementation of platform-specific operations

But WASI is much more general than Node's APIs, and meant to be used by different engines in different environments (browsers, native bindings, etc).
