What if regulation is the cause and more would make it worse?

> Government regulation to make it so they don't have to go through trouble like production and distributor negotiations which big companies don't (because they own the production and distribution systems)

So regulation to fix the regulation that the regulation caused problems with in the first place. Whack-a-mole? Good luck building your utopian government regulation system, I'll give it a hard pass and fight against it wherever I live.

> People should be able to quit under-paying and toxic jobs, and buy more-expensive products from more ethical companies, without going broke. People should have ways to advance their careers and start their own companies.

Again, what got is into this system in the first place. How is adding in even more bureaucracy, more rich corporate elite minions that actually just want to take advantage of these idealistic systems to make more corporate profits by faking that they want to help people. People already hate welfare, and for good reason (bureaucratic waste of money and time that doesn't actually help people that are struggling in the long run, giving them more stigma and more difficulty to become involved in society).

We live in a society in the West focused on globalized homogenized corporatist technocracy. It's sad to witness people like you, who probably live a great comfortable life, trying to push more of the same systems that are enslaving the people.

What we really need is freedom, free markets, real Capitalism, which is being sapped away quickly as the elite and their technocrat minions completely suck it out of all of us.
It’s really weird. “Cherry pie” was playing in a grocery store and my child said “what in the hell is this song about?” And also “Seventeen” by Winger. It’s messed up how many hair metal bands in the 80s sang about teenage girls.
That you’re using bash is an other problem which you also have.

But the issue I’m talking about is using the specific path /bin/bash, as that just reduces compatibility compared to going through env.
Didn't Rome still use the "eat, shit, and sleep on your seat" system used by the Greeks before them? I don't think rowers had anything that could reasonably be described as "fresh" air.

Both rollators and wheelchairs can be temporary aids while recovering from injury. Being temporary unable to work because of injury doesn’t necessarily make someone less concerned with working conditions.

Strawman. Who said that emergency systems don't ever experience downtime? Orgs using mission critical systems would trust a service that has less than 5x9s.

I mean 100 years ago if you had gotten a letter from "US communist party", your mail carrier would likely have reported it directly, without any fancy automation.

The outside of envelopes has never been particularly private, so I'm not seeing it as a policy change so much as an implementation change to support scale.
I've been on both sides of the latter case.

I think we should encourage "muddling" to the extent that it actually improves systems. However, usually such engineers underrate how difficult it is to actually improve said systems while maintaining legacy feature parity.

That is, the answer is not to discourage muddling, but to have higher standards for project management.

The should learn about it in the same way that they should learn about other ideologies: not to make them their own but to be aware of their existence and their goals. History is there to be learnt from so as to avoid making the same mistake twice or more often so it is important for anyone to realise that DEI [1,2,3] is another term for critical social justice which is derived from critical theory [4] which is an expansion of Marxism meant to address the "faults" of the ideology which had kept the predicted revolutions from occurring in the early 1900's. Learn about it by all means, the more people learn about it the better they will be prepared when they are confronted by one if its many offshoots.

Dunno if this is what you’re getting at, but as much as I feel nostalgic for pre-windows xp/7 interfaces, computers do a lot more than they used to. Its at the very least much better to have a search bar that (only) filters through all the programs we have installed on a given system, no?

I wonder too what it would be like to use one of those old uis to navigate a modern system but I think theres just an overwhelming amount of “stuff” on systems now.

Once you set up the provider on the designers machine, you can embed a deep link to the desktop app in your repo, similar to the „open in devpod“ button in our repo [1].

For your use case it’d be cool to share provider information between parties. We‘ll think about it, although that might also be a potential selling point for teams and a commercial product…

> like it had existed in some form before

I mean, it had. It was called Infiniminer. Admittedly it had only really existed for about a month before, but it was obvious that that first person voxel modification mechanic was a format that could support some really cool games. It got Notch thinking, for sure.

When Notch posted his first tech test video (archive version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMpv5kZ9-rE), he wrote:

> This is a very early test of an Infiniminer clone I'm working on. It will have more resource management and materials, if I ever get around to finishing it.

Ironically, he never did get around to finishing it.
This has been public knowledge for 50 years. The article even says as much:

> The history of abuse of mail covers, as the lawmakers note, is a long one. A famous incident occurred in the 1970s, when a 15-year-old girl mistakenly wrote the Socialist Workers Party—a communist organization strongly supportive of Cuba—while researching a school assignment involving the Socialist Labor Party. The teenager was thoroughly investigated by the FBI, with the bureau even sending an agent into her school. The senators note that Church Committee, which was formed in 1975 to investigate US intelligence abuses, uncovered that the Central Intelligence Agency had photographed “the exteriors of over 2 million pieces of mail,” while opening hundreds of thousands of others, belonging to “prominent activists and authors.”

There's nothing remotely "conspiracy theory" about this. Next time, just link them the wiki article rather than, bafflingly, trying to allege conspiracy via your throwaway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee#Opening_mail
lol, yes, I'm glad they clarified because I understood it correctly then made the mistake GP did when I replied to them.
Also, COL means the only benefits are typically moving from high to low, and low now typically means someplace marching against progress.
Interesting, how did you achieve that with other databases? An enhancement opportunity for PostgreSQL?

For a similar sounding problem, I used a view with row_number() over () with a partition() clause sorted descending so that row number 1 was always the most recent within the partition columns and older were 2, 3 etc. I could then query for the row number = 1 to get the most recent row (or 2 for 2nd etc.). For the most recent only, I had a view which had that row number = 1 condition and I used that most frequently to access data.

To get an index, the view could be materialized but then it needs refreshed but my experience was that had more overhead than just using the regular view.

Are you saying first-party analytics of any kind are evil? Users have the right to not use the site, which is the only way users are going to leave no traces.

I think you have the right to track the usage of your product. And if you are ad-supported and not a sole proprietorship, you have an obligation to your business to at least know whether your monetization strategy is failing due to your users' ad-blocking preferences. The "% who block ads" figure is vitally important in deciding, for instance, whether to offer an ad-free paid tier.

People respond differently to "the world is flat and I know it because you can't trust any experts and they all say the world is round" vs "the world is flat and here are my satellite observations supporting the claim."

Lots of conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Even more turn out to be false. The derision comes from absolute conviction in the absence of evidence. If evidence appears, people can change their opinions and still deride you for unquestioning beliefs before there was evidence.
Oh, fair enough. I hadn't been keeping up too much but hadn't realized they had progressed that far. I'll have to do some tinkering this evening.
Are you saying that people shouldn't get to publicly say anything that they don't have proof of?
It would be tough to find an educated Quebecer that wasn't bilingual, though some may not want to speak English at work. I don't think language is a big issue overall though. Outside Toronto (maybe Vancouver too, I'm not familiar) many people are happy with their quality of life, family nearby, etc and are not motivated to move. Those that want to be elsewhere have already gone. Certainly in the maritimes and western provinces there are lots of people that feel at home and would only leave if they got really desperate. Toronto I think has a lot more people that tolerate it for the sake of their job, but would rather be somewhere else.

> This has been public knowledge for 50 years

No, the problems identified 50 years years ago were part of a process which resulted in extensive controls being put in place on the US national security apparatus to prevent the things it discovered from continuing; that those controls in fact changed nothing and things remained exactly the same is, well, if true, not something which has been public knowledge since day one.

Most reasonable people understand the difference between accident and negligence. How is it we are able to have professional engineers sign on off plans if they know they will be held personally liable for failures? This is very much a solved problem and I don’t think it’s wise to entertain FUD.

The best procrastination fix I have found (I am a world class procrastinator) is the drug modafinil which seems to be both effective and is safe at least for one-off use according to Scientific American, although it says long term studies have not been done. However people have been taking it for a decade or more so any problems likely would have shown up by now.

When I take one of these pills I don't notice any particular effect until the end of the day when I usually have a load of stuff done that had been hanging around for weeks or months.

Hey SilverBirch, I'm the author of PandasAI. In terms of the naming, that's a very good point, and I must confess I didn't even consider that when I published the repo. It just made sense to me, since the goal was to add AI on the top of pandas, to call it "PandasAI" (pandas + AI). For it was more of a tribute to the library, but I totally get your point, and I thank you for pointing it out.

I'm trying to reach out the pandas founder, and I'll definitely change the name of the repo if he prefers to.

As of the quality of the output, we are constantly working on improving the quality of it. It provides good enough results in most of the cases, but it still suffers from some hallucinations, although we have already fixed many either programmatically or with prompt engineering.

As of the dataframe, we don't pass the whole df, but only the head and 5 columns with shuffled data (also redacting the sensitive ones).

Any questions, feel free to ask!
I recently used it while traveling in rural NZ. When I had poor cell signal it was actually way faster because all of the web page loading was taking place in a datacenter, and I only needed to load a websocket response (with cited sources!).
> Sites should not be enabling draft specifications

Nice in theory, but in reality sites shouldn't be using features that aren't available cross browser.

:is() is from the same draft spec as :has() but has been available in all the major browsers since 2021 (and shipping in Safari and Firefox in 2020, before it was available in Chrome).

Under your suggestion, :is() shouldn't be used by anyone for another couple of years from now, waiting for unrelated issues in the CSS Selectors 4 spec to be resolved so it can be moved to a candidate recommendation.

Even if you're a more lightweight model, it's still not very practical to require a dedicated 24GB GPU for every active gamer, whether local or cloud hosted.

For all intents and purposes, it's as much of a non-starter in a production game as the multiple A100 scenario.

Of course that isn't going to remain the case for long as the recent advancements in optimization make their way into live systems, but still.
I am not even saying that this is a bad point of view, but isn't the belief of most mainstream economists that GDP must grow each year?

Also I am not a conspiracy theorist and I don't really have any beef with the WEF, but I mean growth is one of their stated goals. If there was ever an elite boogeyman driving for growth wouldn't they be the obvious candidate?

New proof finds the ‘ultimate instability’ in a solar system model
I don't know about the US and other countries, but firebreaks are not really there to stop fire. Well, they do have that effect on some intensity fires, but the actual reason is enabling vehicle access.

A fire of any reasonable intensity can easily jump a firebreak with a decent wind. And then there's spot-fires, which are like voodoo, you can be fighting a fire in front of you and have fires suddenly 300m behind you.

All they really do is give you a point to fight a fire.

While literary sources were always produced by aristocrats, they still give a window into their times even if it's biased, so we know some things about some jobs. But also since the mid 20th century there's been a movement in history to learn about the daily lives of everyday people of the past in every period including Rome. Combined with archaeology, we can learn some things, so while we don't have a perfect picture of life for the many free Roman citizens packed into their insulae doing their jobs, there's been work and progress on filling that in, esp. using archaeological sources like Pompeii.
I'm still trying to get a handle on that part myself... But my ever-evolving understanding goes something like this:

The "Query" matrix is like a mask that is capable of selecting certain kinds of features from the context, while the "Key" matrix focuses the "Query" on specific locations in the context.

Using the Query + Key combination, we select and extract those features from the context matrix. And then we apply the "Value" matrix to those features in order to prepare them for feed-forward into the next layer.

There are multiple "Attention Heads" per layer (GPT-3 had 96 heads per layer), and each Head performs its own separate QKV operation. After applying those 96 Q+K->V attention operations per layer, the results are merged back into a single matrix so that they can be fed-forward into the next layer.

Or something like that...

I'm still trying to grok it myself, and if anyone here shed more light on the details, I'd be very grateful!

I'm still trying to understand, for example, how many QKV matrices are actually stored in a model with a particular number of parameters. For example, in a GPT-NeoX-20B model (with 20 billion params) how many distinct Q, K, and V matrices are there, and what is their dimensionality?

EDIT:

I just read Imnimo's comment below, and it provides a much better explanation about QKV vectors. I learned a lot!
Because interviewers of people like Musk and Trump are largely people trading on the interviewee’s popularity for personal gain, and know they will be more able to get future interviews with similar figures if they are seen as not be a hostile venue for their subject’s self-promotion.
I can’t relate to this, as it seems to imply you just don’t believe that really talented people exist and that these people can accomplish things other simply can’t. Doesn’t jive with my experience.
The Chinchilla paper only addresses the contrived use case of a model that is trained once and never used for inference. Since most of the real world compute cost will be in inference, Chinchilla seems to offer little practical guidance.

> serve ads do it with plain text and images... You don't deserve anything else

Lots of ads are text and images, but they're all placed client-side using scripts, because* nobody buys ads entirely untargeted (they're ineffective). If you're a business and want a purely server-side ad system to monetize your site with, you're going to be looking for a long time. What you're saying basically amounts to "ad-supported business models online should not exist." Which is an opinion you're entitled to, but if this is your stance I'd encourage you to at least try to, for a week, block all ad-supported sites, rather than the ads, to see what the logical conclusion to your policy would be.

*Note: Even without that reason, server-side would be unpopular with both publishers and ad networks because of the need to offer dozens of flavors of server-side SDKs that the publisher would have to integrate deeply into their SS code, rather than using the lingua franca of client-side JS.
I'd certainly publish a guide and a set of files to flash.

Using an internal Qualcomm SDX module, I've already got both 4G and 5G working great on my Thinkpad with just a few AT commands, so I don't foresee any practical difficulty except maybe getting MLC03 submmWave antennas (I can't find any, so I stick to B71 on 5G)
