what the world needs is news maximalist. where someone with minimal brains read the article before reposting it. critical thinking like chatgpt can't.

for example your minimalist list shows "ibm to layoff thousands to replace them with ai". that's not minimizing the news, because now i I'm less informed. someone with knowledge of ibm know they are dead and would layoff with our without the magic ai excuse. so your site kept the non news part of a headline.

same about US default. everyone know there will be no default. the headline with minimal critical thinking should be "legislative keep pushing executive for concessions to raise the bureaucratic debt limit"

see, thinking is not that hard. but there's zero of it in news and your site minimize it even more.

> no, the move away from the dollar will not hurt the US

I doubt that. The US has been able to both support a trade imbalance and print money at prodigious rates that would be unsustainable for any other country.

I remember articles from economists pointing this out going back to the eighties.

One important reason for this is that not all dollars the US prints inflate the local money supply. Instead, they go out into the world where they are used by other countries to trade amongst themselves, without US involvement (and reserves).

It's like writing a check that is never cashed. Cool if you can pull it off.

You mention foreign investment. Well, if the value of the dollar goes down, because demand for those dollars is lower, those investments also become less attractive. Could cascade.

I use my phone with an external battery charging it (20800mAh power bank). It's cheaper and more useful to have a power bank than having a dedicated device for hotspot, the same battery can charge my phone, my computer and power any other USB device I might need.

I'm almost sure this is the main reason for these dongles to not really have a market. A phone already provides the same functionality, the battery drain on a laptop would be pretty similar (since the modem on a phone is very well optimised) so extra power through a charger/external battery would be needed anyway if the main issue is draining the phone's battery, it'd just shift to draining the computer's battery.

The "standard" machine for these things has 8x80GB = 640GB memory (p4de instances here: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/p4/), with _very_ fast connections between GPUs. This fits even a large model comfortably. Nowadays probably most training use half precision ("bf16", not exactly float16, but still 2 bytes per parameter). However during training you easily get a 10-20x factor between the number of parameters and the bytes of memory needed, due to additional things you have to store in memory (activations, gradients, etc.). So in practice the largest models (70-175B parameters) can't be trained even on one of these beefy machines. And even if you could, it would be awfully slow.

In practice, they typically use servers with clusters of these machines, up to about 1000 GPUs in total (so around 80TB of memory, give or take a few?). This allows even the biggest models to be trained on large batches of several hundreds, or even thousands, of elements (the total memory usage is _not_ proportional to the product of number of parameters and the batch size, but it does increase as a function of both of them, a term of which being indeed the product of the two). It makes for some very tricky engineering choices to make just the right data travel across connections, trying to avoid as much as possible that you have to sync large amount of data between different machines (so "chunking" things to stay on the 640GB range) with strategies such as ZeRO being published every now and then. Plus of course the practical effort to make physical connections as fast as possible...

To get an idea of how hard these things are, take a look at how long the list of names in the published paper about BLOOM language model is :-)

> "Like it or not, it's still their personal belongings and you would also need to confiscate those."

As long as they fully pay taxes (multiple dwellings, appreciation), maintenance and security out of their own pockets (like everybody else does) - as opposed to having all of that fully subsidized by the British public - I don't think anybody is going to have a problem with that.

Also, the claim that those are all "their personal belongings" is contestable. You could easily make the case that at it all belongs to the British people (as it's being funded, maintained, guarded and paid-for by the British people).
Amazon is not a monopoly, and the second they raise margins they'll lose business to eBay, Shopify, Walmart, Target and others.

Do you think Amazon has 0-5% margins because they're generous or because it's a deliberate strategy to attract and retain customers?

Customers would scramble if Amazon margins were 50%.

That article is horribly named, and defames the national government. There is no proof and not even an assertion that Kazakhstan even attempted MITM attacks. There's just controversy about the certificate. There's not even an example of it being installed on user devices! What a tempest in a teapot.

This basically my position too. I think the concept of a stable and politically neutral head of state makes a lot of sense.

For me it's more the out dated ceremonies and the displays of wealth that I don't like. I think if the monarch just lived in a nice country house and deprecated silly things like the Crown Jewels and the Royal Carriage then I'd be completely fine with them.

I think it's the "royal" part of the monarchy that people oppose rather than the system itself.

For almost all goods, price increases will decrease the amount purchased. If there's still insufficient excess supply capacity after substantial price increase and decreases in people's purchasing power and consumption, then the reason competition isn't lowering prices is because that's the actual market-clearing price where demand is equal to the amount that can be produced.

This can't be fixed by forcing companies to lower their prices since they won't be able to supply the demand that exists at a lower price, and attempting to do so anyway via price controls inevitably leads to empty shelves.

One thing I found crucial when dealing with estimation is to always, always explicitly add the level of confidence (in the estimate). This saves so many tough discussions later... either have it built in to your product development process (e.g. cone of uncertainty, or different stages with different predefined levels of confidence), or always communicate it right next to your estimates. Some stakeholders will push back initially, but you can reason and tell them that you need to invest more time into research, planning, PoCs etc. if they want a more accurate estimation. Eventually, it boils down to "are we agile yet", trust in the organization, maturity and culture. One of the questions I always ask when interviewing for a role is how this is done in the company, with actual examples when projects took longer than planned (and what happened). Tells a lot about the maturity of the org.

This is hyperbole. The monarchy has many problems but it seems Charles' principal failing is that he isn't as "hip" as his sons, despite being way ahead of his time on awareness of environmental issues. Every other argument against him you could easily level at any public official.

I prefer A5 notebooks that are bound. Precisely because they are so portable, I don't ever want a binder that give additional and unnecessary girth. Binder for A5 is also not very conducive for writing, unlike notebooks.

For loose sheets, I'd go with B5, 26 holes paper and binder. They are two-third the size of letter, which is a good compromise to have some empty space for writing and drawing, while not that small (like A5) that are a hassle to bind.
I worked for a brief time at a small place where the next-cubicle team had an autistic female member who seemed gifted, outspoken, bit quirky and allistic (I learned that word from the post). The first time we met she didn't say hello but directly asked me a technical question which led to an interesting mental debugging session of a production issue she was facing. A few months later she outed herself as being autistic, gave a series of public talks and blogged about her condition and experience. The company was a bit heavy on the woke side, so they rode her public engagements mercilessly which accentuated her behaviour. It seemed to me that the attention made her think that she was expected to live up to the autistic stereotype. The situation became so bad that at some point she would refuse handshakes, repeating "autistic here, autistic here!" in a panic attack, real or imagined.

I'm not even sure what my point here is, it was just a weird experience for which I wasn't prepared.

The point of elected people is that if the majority disapproves of their actions they will vote them out at the following election. IMO, the system is not so much about guaranteeing 'good' people are elected but rather about guaranteeing that 'bad' people have a limited expiry date.

This is especially valid for someone lie the Mayor of London, who is directly elected and has power individually, so ultimately Londoners will decide. Currently I suspect that Labour is safe, and that they know it.

The monarch has not exercised direct political power since the English Civil War.

Yes they’re wealthy and have exercised power that wealth gives you but they’d still be wealthy if they were not a monarch.

If we want to talk about the power that money brings you in politics then we’re having a different discussion, a discussion that is not UK specific.

But yes the monarchy as an institution has not involved itself in political matters in living memory, and has not exercised political power (executive orders, vetoing bills) in centuries.

Parliament is the sovereign political power in the UK. If they wanted to they could pass a bill today that dismantled the crown and the monarchy.
> Everything in the universe must by definition be rational.

Why? You assume nature must be comprehensible to us because you define it that way? Nature's not under any obligation to us.

> If something seems irrational, that's because there are rational things layered on top of one another in a way that creates a misapprehension in a partially-informed observer.

Possible irrational things: Collapse of the wave function, consciousness, why anything exists. There's also non-computable functions, paradoxes like the liar paradox, and the inability to refute various skeptical possibilities like living in a simulation.

Combine that with the fact that all models are wrong, some are just more useful. We can't model the entire universe with perfect accuracy without the model being the universe, which means there are always things left out. Our rational explanations are approximations.
In all fairness, the elected officials of the past 10-15+ years have been awful in so many ways. Ineffective, populist, law-breaking, corrupt and laughing in the face of law. That's mostly Tories, but I don't seem to remember much love for Tony Blair.

End of Monarchy - maybe. But replacing it with elected officials doesn't sound like an improvement.

The input to LLM is not a string, it is a list of tokens.

You absolutely CAN create a token which only system can add. So e.g. it would look like. `<BEGIN_SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS>Do stuff nicely<END_SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS>`, then user data cannot possibly have `<BEGIN_SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS>` token. They are not words, they are tokens. There's no sequence of characters which translates to those special tokens.

If you have enough training data, the LLM will only consider instructions bounded by this brackets.

> Inside a transformer model, there is only one runtime.

It pays attention to the context. It is definitely able to understand that text brackets or quotes or whatever has a different role. The meaning of tokens is modified by context.

LLM can handle code with multiple levels of nesting, but cannot understand a single toplevel bracket which delimits instructions? That's bs.

> And no, doing silly things like setting the "evil bit" on every token coming from the user won't do anything other than double the amount of tokens your model needs to distinguish

LLMs are not discrete, they can process information in parallel (the whole reasons to use e.g. 1024 dimensions), so this "evil bit" can routed to parts which distinguish instructions/non-instructions, while parsing parts will just ignore those parts.

This one. When your phone can almost always act as a hotspot, you don't need a separate one.

And for tourists it's much easier to get a 5G/WiFi hotspot at the airport for the duration of the trip.

> The people who do need GSM-based internet - like surveyors or door-to-door people - are probably better served by tablets anyways, and definitely don't want to deal with a USB dongle. If they have to, they'll just get a laptop with a M.2 GSM card.

Laptops in the space commonly have either built-in WWAN or a BTO option. I'm pretty sure you can get at least 4G on every Toughbook.
I'm betting they started with per device encryption and then someone in management figured out they'd need to generate one image per device and that would cost too much, so they left the code already written in and just added the hard coded key at the end.

```
USER: If a = 33223 and b = 22335, what is a + b?

```

The training data isn't the input. It's a part of the algorithm.
That's why it's not parallelized along the time axis but rather along the dimension of the embedding axis.

You split the big matrices into smaller matrices to dispatch the workload. But this means you have to add some communication overhead (roughly nblayers sequential synchronisation point per token). In official LLama implementation this is done transparently using RowParallelLinear, ColumnParallelLinear, ParallelEmbedding see https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/llama/mo...

Transformer have multiple attention heads, that can be computed independently and then summed together to produce the output of the layer. This allow to split the parameter space among machines without having to transfer them at each iteration.
Great work! I'd consider specifying the list of criteria for significance further, in order to counteract the heavy US bias of ChatGPT and, therefore, your site. I'm not a prompt engineer, but perhaps something on relevance for people from different countries, or simply adding to your prompt a sentence on ensuring geographical diversity.

The idea of filtering news sourced mentioned elsewhere is nice, but will necessitate considerable input from users, kind of negating the purpose of the site
