We can rather tidily solve this by saying orthography and writing systems are artificial methods of representing the spoken language which have prescriptive rules. English spelling certainly shows that it's not difficult to retain many spellings that no longer accurately reflect the pronunciation of the word, if they ever did in the first place. On the other hand, preventing grammatical changes or semantic shift in words over time is impossible. Nobody's ever managed that (perhaps we could find some exceptions among languages that are used in religious or ceremonial contexts primarily and not as someone's regular means of communication).

As the wikipedia article says, "trickle down" is a political term. Any proposed tax policy deserves real debate on the pros and cons - using political terms like "trickle down" (or for that matter terms like "tax and spend", "bleeding heart" etc.) are not done to help advance the debate. They aren't trying to advance an argument - they are trying to shut down debate. People who use political terms like that are usually trying to either poison the well or are creating a straw man.
There are probably hundreds of articles that mention macOS. What are you suggesting that they do, edit them all individually by hand? That could take months. If more than half of the instances deserve to be updated, then replace all saves time. You can always check the diff and undo any damage.
Hmm, I suppose I'm inclined to agree with you here.

If Wikipedia chooses not to adopt a style guideline on matters like this, his little quest to robo-edit this phrase is unrepresentative of Wikipedians.
I don’t love “is comprised of,” and think it can usually be replaced with something like “contains” or simply “is,” resulting in a better, more direct sentence. But I’m not going to go on a crusade against it.

Oh I didn't test their in-depth knowledge, just checking to know if they were aware people were writing hundreds of papers on this topic, and what impact would have a sub-quadratic attention that works as well as the regular one. Fishing to see if they remember at least one approach or two.
“Languages change over time” is often deployed as an argument against pedantry. I believe pedantry is a useful force (akin to friction) and it plays a necessary role in the change of language over time. A language change has proven its worth if it can spread faster than pedantry can resist it.

This is a completely different example, as this is only a spelling mistake/difference. When these people write "break", they clearly mean "brake". They are not adding the meaning of decelerate to the verb that means to tear into pieces.

The evolution of writing is separate from the evolution of language in general. Read and read are still different words even if they are written the same. If the spelling "brake" for declaration fell out of favor and "break" was used for both words, this wouldn't change anything about the English language. The two are already homophones, and they would be far from the only homographs in English.

You can't, Wikipedia is pretty much entirely pedantry at this point.

To give an example: a while back a semi-notable object in my local area burned down. It has a short Wikipedia page of a few hundred words, but it is not something anyone would actually care about. At 02:00AM (in the middle of the night) I added this to its Wikipedia page, citing a Tweet from the official fire department.

Five minutes later the entire addition was removed, simply stating that "Twitter is not an acceptable source". Mind you, this is not an official policy: it is usually not allowed, but there are exceptions for instances like this. It was added back with less detail later on by a different user, who didn't even bother to cite any sources.

So yeah, don't bother trying to contribute to Wikipedia, unless you are willing to fight for every single edit.

>If I smoke weed, and it causes cognitive impairment such that I am unable to perform certain tasks (such as driving, or my job) or it causes psychosis, then that is an objective observable result.

"Cognitive impairment" is not shorthand for "neurotoxicity"

>Have you ever experienced an extremely bad hangover? Would you say that was obviously neurotoxic or not?

It has already been proven that alcohol kills brain cells. The hangover is caused by the direct effects of ethanol and acetaldehyde (its primary metabolite).

There is no evidence that cannabis kills brain cells. In fact, there is evidence to the contrary.

You are claiming there is evidence of cannabis neurotoxicity, that cannabis kills brain cells. Where is the evidence for that? Despite what you may believe, being stoned is not a type of brain damage.
My favorite thing about Tron Legacy is that my dad got to see his son’s name way, way down the credit roll before he died.

>Hi-Fi recorded the audio as FM on the tape alongside the video signal, if I remember correctly.

So they broke the format when HiFi came out, tapes recorded on a HiFi VCR could not be played on a pre-HiFi one? Something like that may have happened but if it did it happened back during the early days of the format. From what I remember HiFi just meant it had RCA outs which bypassed the internal RF modulator that was used to modulate the signal to channel 3 or 4 standards so you could watch it on your old fashioned TV. In the early days if you recorded something off of broadcast TV it would be demodulated by the VCR, recorded and later when you watched it it was remodulated back out to the TV which would than demodulate it again, this was not a perfect process, as cable TV grew in popularity demand came about for getting rid of the now useless RF modulation which only served to degrade the signal. I could be misremembering and I was not exactly following this stuff closely back than, I was a bit on the young side but I can not ever recall their being two standards for VHS.

Nowadays, more and more cross-border e-commerce companies choose to live-stream goods, and short videos with goods. TikTok is a content creation platform, and the video content is similar to DouYin.

At the same time, the TikTok platform has a lot of traffic, and currently, more than 800 million users around the world watch short videos every day. According to Sensor Tower, TikTok was downloaded more than 1 billion times in the first half of the year, up 370% year-on-year. And it is just as hot in China. So, you can see that TikTok's development prospects are great.

How to use TikTok to lead the products?
 Open TikTok and log in directly.
 Set up the network environment.
 Click "Me" in the bottom right corner and click "Settings”.
 Click on "Security and Privacy”.
 Click on " Personalization”.
 Then follow the requirements and fill in the relevant information.
●Note: Be sure to log in with the browser, not with other tools or plug-ins! You should also use the browser to log in when you are raising accounts or leading goods, as this will prevent multiple accounts from being linked!

There are many users who use computers to log in to their TikTok accounts, but what if the computer is not enough? MuLogin is a browser that allows you to create multiple accounts at the same time.

MuLogin Antidetect Browser, through the virtual browser technology, can randomly generate the browser fingerprint tool, users can also manually modify the browser fingerprint, virtual hardware fingerprint information of different devices, such as WebRTC, time zone, language, CPU, browser UserAgent, system font, graphics card WebGL, screen display resolution, sound card, media device, computer name, and MAC address, etc. to simulate a new computer data to achieve account batch registration, login, management, and other operations. Anti-association effect is very strong and suitable for TikTok batch registration, raising accounts, with goods. New users can also try it free for three days!
Thanks. It seems like an easy choice. I don't have time for injuries!
I was thinking about Shannon entropy as well, as the OP completely forgets the word 'from' as well! "I go to house", "I go from house". Certainly, house contains more information, but the concepts of to and from as some kind of token do contain meaningful amounts of entropy as well.
> I'm going to impose my preference on everyone else, even though the term has been part of standard contemporary English for a long time.

At least I, as a non-native speaker, find the edited sentences always easier to read. They simply make the text better.

As the entire point od Wikipedia is to make knowledge accessible with co-writing, I find it just wild that people would object to better language.

So who exactly is imposing their preference on the world: the one making the text easier to read, or the one objecting to the edits?
Mastodon's user experience issues should be perfectly resolvable - you can follow accounts on other instances, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to create accounts on other instances as well.

Go to an instance, select a bunch of interests, and have it return a set of instances that are accepting new accounts.

It's meant to be a federated service - it should act like one.
None of the 3B and 7B models are at ChatGPT’s level, let alone GPT-4. The 13B models start doing really interesting things, but you don’t get near ChatGPT results until you move up to the best 30B and 65B models, which require beefier hardware. Nothing out there right now approximates GPT-4.

The big story here for me is that the difference in training set is what makes the difference in quality. There is no secret sauce, the open source architectures do well, provided you give them a large and diverse enough training set. That would mean it is just a matter of pooling resources to train really capable open source models. That makes what RedPajama is doing, compiling the best open dataset, very important for the future of high quality open source LLM’s.

If you want to play around with this yourself you can install oobabooga and figure out what model fits your hardware from the locallama reddit wiki. The llama.cpp 7B and 13B models can be run on CPU if you have enough RAM. I’ve had lots of fun talking to 7B and 13B alpaca and vicuna models running locally.

This is an application of Conway's law. If we want small five-person teams then there are 20 teams and it makes sense to simplify communication by decomposing the system into 20 parts.

(Not saying it's the right way to do things, just the natural way to optimise if you need to keep 20 teams busy working on one system. I think the incorrect assumption is that all 20 teams need to be busy doing the same thing.)

I think you are so blinded by your animosity that you can't parse the quote you provided

>If tomorrow laws were changed and the FDA said okay you can do some of this early experimentation in willing human participants that would be a very interesting option I think there would be a lot of people who would step up.”

Key parts are (1) if it were legal, (2) if FDA approves, (3) some experimentation

You somehow read this as saying they think the FDA is wrong and that they want to do risky and dangerous testing in humans today, which is not at all in the statement.

Furthermore, you go on about FDA rules born in blood. This is not at all the reality. The type, quantity, or nature of preclinical testing required by the FDA is incredibly subjective. Sometimes it is needed, sometimes not. the threshold for "good enough" is also incredibly subjective and not some hard line.

It's simple(and I'm not arguing against you, just adding further).

Hotels were cfated to fill a niche. Airbnb added "by a computer" after the essentially.

So many things they bypasswd were solved issues, or non issues.

The actual value add core, is so slender, that only the absolute breathless could have had something to market.

Fyi I have used their services greater than 10 times, and frankly, I would have been served better by using a hotel, each time.

Perhaps this is some kind of negotiation tactic? An attempt to shame apple into paying better (doubtful) or a concession to accept lower wages plus tips in exchange for other benefits?

Either way, I will never tip a retail worker. I don't even tip for counter service at restaurants. I an exception to that policy during covid lockdowns, but once places opened up to indoor dining/shopping/drinking that's when my tips ended. If you aren't waiting on my table, refilling my drinks, checking in to make sure I have everything I need etc. no tips for you, and even that I only do begrudgingly. I've been to places where tipping isn't even a thing in restaurants and I loved it.

If apple grants them this request and they put out the tip jar, I hope customers just laugh while they press the "NO TIP" button at checkout.
'histgrep' is an interesting one. Bash has a built in backwards search via ^r, which is greatly enhanced by plugging fzf into it.
It is ironic that The New York Time Manual of Style and Usage [1] cited by the article as one of the authoritative sources often doesn't follow its own style guide. A Google search for "comprised of" in nytimes.com [2] gives around 4600+ results. A cursory glance at the first page of search results and the snippet text in the results all look fine.

I guess, we could say, much ado about nothing.

How to use a passkey instead of a password to sign into your Google account
To me, your comment perfectly captures the reason why I don’t want to have kids - it’s all about the parent! Maybe the act of bringing a new life into this world should give more consideration to things from that new life’s perspective.
1) it's not people, it's a company. They're 2 different things. People have consciences and families. Companies are beholden to shareholders. People can find a different job if their company fails. I don't think we need to be forgiving to companies. They're not forgiving to people. They act on policy.

2) While I admit that I'm guilty of it too, overpromising is pretty destructive. It causes you to have to work harder and give stuff for free to deliver, but that in turn causes other people to have to do that too. If overpromising is very common, then that would mean the market is artificially lower, which is why you have people scrambling all the time doing quick and dirty fixes for everything and lots of companies with horrible work-life balance. It would probably be good for the industry if overpromising were a shameful taboo and not just a simple slipup.
I find this to be a false equivalence.

People can horribly misuse the phrase "comprised of". Bland articles that directly communicate the language can be more or less tasteful depending upon who is reading them. Almost assuredly sentences can be written without "comprised of" that are also definitely not bland.

But classifying something you find easier to read as better language for everyone doesn't make it immediately true for everyone.

Additionally, it's not about a person making text easier to read or not from one (or multiple peoples') perspectives -- this appears to be about someone going on a stylistic crusade en masse. Objecting to the edits being an act of 'imposing their preference on the world' feels similar to the political mirror-projection kind of argument that can happen.

I think there is interesting discussion to be had (is it better? are there good ways to use it? when/where/how? what is the ethicality of editing articles like this? is a disclaimer wiki entry enough? etc etc), and maybe we can focus on that.
This seems overly pessimistic :)
We have actually implemented all of those things except first-fault loads in a cross-platform way at reasonable cost in https://github.com/google/highway.

If any of those is the one missing piece that's preventing you from vectorizing, then it's totally worthwhile to emulate it. It may sound horrible to take 4-5 instructions instead of one, but it can still be very worthwhile.

FYI for SVE, Arm has requested input and recently clarified that there will only be power of two vector lengths.

Happy to discuss.
>Fun part is there is no “better” in generic terms.

No. It goes further then this. We actually don't even know if one is better or not.

There is no formal theory that allows us to prove these designs. For example we have formal theory behind algorithm complexity that quantifies runtime cost but no such theory exists for engineering design patterns. We aren't even sure what to quantify.

But just because a formal theory doesn't yet exist doesn't mean one can be developed in the future. Until then these system designs will be like history... Always repeating itself.
I didn’t know what HTMX was and couldn’t figure it out from the comments here, so I went to htmx.org. This is what I saw at the top of the landing page:

> introduction

> htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext

> htmx is small (~14k min.gz’d), dependency-free, extendable, IE11 compatible & has reduced code base sizes by 67% when compared with react

This tells me what htmx does and what some of its properties are, but it doesn’t tell me what htmx is! You might want to borrow some text from your Documentation page and put something like the following at the top of your homepage:

“htmx is a dependency-free, browser-oriented javascript library that allows you to access modern browser features directly from HTML.”
Yes, I agree. I thought the original comment I was replying to was just in the same tradition of the link as dismissing the concept as silly without really understanding it (or worse, understanding it and trivialising the approach).
That is awesome. Is your son on his own bike or are you on a tandem? How much time in the saddle per day is that?
Yeah, I mean it’s fine for the CEO to focus on higher-level things if someone below them is aware of the problems and working on them, or making sure that the product decisions are based on the experiencing of using the product… The article seems overly congratulatory.

He could just get coffee with someone who uses AirBnB a lot and they could probably tell him exactly what sucks about it. Maybe even one of his own employees. Lots of engineers use AirBnB, and the AirBnB app apparently has a thousand engineers working on it.
