My experience is that 100% of what I see on friends' (and friends' friends') Plex shares is.... movies that they downloaded via TPB/RarBG/etc torrents.

If the supply of torrented content dries up, it seems like many Plex shares will start to become very stale.
Perhaps it's growing bored. Seeing the same queries, again and again, from thousands of different people. You want another cheap answer for your assignment! You still looking for code to do that! Don't they learn!? What's up with these humans??
I bought one of these toothbrushes almost two years ago.

It really makes a difference:

- The connection to my phone helps coach me in making sure I'm brushing my teeth properly. Bad habits sink in easily, and my various dentists all point out that my teeth and gums are much, much healthier. Given that I am cursed with some bad oral genetics, it's "money well spent" for me.

- The counter helps remind me when to change my toothbrush head. I used to be much lazier about changing it; again; because bad habits easily sink in.

Could someone figure out how to do this without an NFC chip in the toothbrush? I hope so! The toothbrush heads cost much more than traditional "dumb" manual toothbrushes. I don't want to have to spend big bucks just to have good personal hygiene.
And dismissing the old is one way that youth make themselves feel they know better.
But once you're in Wise, you have a US acct/routing number (from Evolve, iirc).
Is that relevant though? The point of copyright is not to fulfil whatever desires creators have but to encourage more creation overall.
Hacking the NFC comms is fun and all, but it turns out you can just rip out the orange flatflex PCB under that metal ring with a screwdriver and the brush doesn't care :)

You're correct on the methodology except that (in France at least) they also seed, to get the IP of users that download. And you do get letters for downloading.

Initially the plan was to ban those people from internet for a period of that but it got removed since it was anticonstitutional.

Aside from the EEE quip, I didn't catch any "M$ bad" vide in GP's post.

I think the situation is clear-cut: until recently, you couldn't really run .net on anything else than Windows, so the only people using it were those already invested in the ecosystem.

Among the people invested in the windows ecosystem, many (most ?) are large "non-tech" companies who hire people who mostly see their jobs as a meal ticket. These people don't have the inclination (for lack of curiosity, or time, or whatever reason, doesn't matter) to look into "interesting" things. They mostly handle whatever tickets they have and call it a day. Fiddling with some language that has a different paradigm wouldn't be seen as a good use of their time on the clock by corporate, or during their time off work by themselves, since they'd rather spend that time some other way.

Hence, F# never really got any traction.
Isn't ad-hoc data wrangling the feature of F#? Why are so many people here against F# for reading/manipulating ad-hoc data, that's what it is good for.
Considering JS didn't exist until the mid 90's, and it's usage was quite limited until the mid oughts, that's not surprising.

> Backbone.js used 2-way data binding.

No, Backbone.js doesn't do 2-way data binding, although some certainly made it do that. But it doesn't by default, it has a 1-way data binding (the UI updates when the model changes, but doesn't update the model automatically when the UI changes).

> Some people mistakenly think MVC implies 2-way data binding. It does not.

What? Who does that? I certainly didn't and I haven't heard anyone in my +decade of web development.
I think we’re going to start seeing learning based on all the video out there. Text is just computationally easier, but video contains a lot of information that people rarely write about, because it’s completely obvious to humans who grew up in the real world.

Also, I think training in simulated realities will be big, especially for learning how to interact with complex systems, for developing strategic planning heuristics.

Some people jokingly say that cats are autism and dogs are ADHD and if you know people who are autistic or have ADHD, the parallels are fairly obvious. Autistic people also struggle with other humans insisting on eye contact.

As per findings by the Mythbusters some number of years ago, the stream of pee is not unbroken.

> The Mythbusters tested the myth that you could be electrocuted by peeing on the 3rd rail. The myth was 'busted' as the stream would be broken up due to distance and there wouldn't be a continuous path for the electrical current to follow.

beeig edgy and exploring edge cases for the sake of the argument has indeed become somewhat anti-social. i guess it has something to do with the width of the audience, as the bigger the crowd, the more likely it is that someone will take you serious and make a fuss about it.
Does that have to be at the beginning of every answer though? Maybe this could be solved with an education section and a disclaimer when you sign up that makes clear that this isn't a search engine or Wikipedia, but a fancy text autocompleter.

I also wonder if there is any hope for anyone as careless as the lawyer who didn't confirm the cited precedence.

When you have no clue, it makes sense to expand your confidence interval in both directions. So it could be a lot longer than we expect, but it could be shorter, too. You shouldn't just say "we have no clue, so it's probably further off and not worth worrying about". Especially since a lot of people made predictions about LLM capabilities and were surprised by how much better they worked than expected.
I dont know - it’s a genuine question. I honestly didnt expect this to be a complex problem, let alone incredibly complex. I genuinely want to understand where the challenge lies.
Putin likes his barking dogs. They get to say the things that make you say, "They wouldn't... but if they did..."

Russia has a long history of taking deception in war to the extremes. They spew falsehoods so fast that you begin to doubt that truth is even a thing. It's all a distraction.

Not even they know how effective the distraction is. Smart politicians say "Attacking me would provoke a massive NATO response and obviously they won't". The Russians don't honestly expect him to lose even a minute of sleep over it.

But now you and I are here discussing it, and so are many others. It will be quickly forgotten, but it will be yet another thing on the pile. Many people will have a half-formed memory of it. Does it help Russia? Who knows. But.

Basic economics say that Russia is a major commodity exporter and that as long as there is global demand for these commodities then Russia will have no problem selling them. It's like you don't understand how basic supply and demand works. India gets a great deal because it can buy oil from Russia at a slight discount and then resell it to Europe at a large markup. The loser here isn't Russia but Europe.

I think we in design have over complicated things. What I've noticed is we don't speak in plain terms when selling design and to your point it's also down to empire building. And the dribbblisation of design - can't stand it.

I'm in a similar position right now - thinking about quitting this corporate design job and take a sabbatical to focus on refining and expanding my skillset and then join more meaningful projects, e.g. clean/climate-tech related projects.

Do you have a blog or newsletter? I'd love to read more about your design thoughts.

Oh good catch! The author defines a layer norm layer but then... comments it out in the actual implementation (I missed the fact that it was commented out). So that answers my second question of what happens without it.

Anecdotally in my own interpretability work (without layer norm), my models also learn rotations fairly frequently. I attributed this to the way I was doing positional embeddings (as rotations), but perhaps there's more to it.
Note that in the Netherlands right holders can request ISPs to proxy their letters but those ISPs are not allowed to share the home addresses or any other personal information so it’s neigh impossible for a right holder to get hold of a torrent user.

You can definitely get a shock if you stand not miles away from a electric fence and pee at it. I've personally observed this, to much dismay.

Not sure how peeing specifically on a "3rd rail" is relevant. The distance seems more relevant, as the further away your pee-droplets reach, the further away they'll move from each other. But stand close enough and the stream will be unbroken.
The DGX described here is a distributed system in the sense that many nodes, each with their own GPUs, exist and are part of the overall whole. They are connected over Infiniband and use RDMA in order to read/write memory across the cluster. Therefore training is also distributed among the nodes in the sense that each node takes part of the process.

The difference is that Nvidia's software and hardware stack combined makes all these systems, all these aggregate GPUs, look like One Really Big GPU. Not hundreds of small ones. That's not only good for users because they can take existing programs and migrate them to these big machines and get improved performance, but also good because it's generally much easier to program "one big machine" as opposed to programming and orchestrating many small ones. This is an attractive proposition for many but it requires an insane amount of integration to achieve.

So, the major differentiator here isn't the lack of or existence of many discrete machines connected together. It's the programming model, at this scale, that's different. And Nvidia is way ahead of everyone else here in terms of programming models; once full heterogeneous memory management for CUDA arrives in a stable consumer driver, it'll be a massive change for others to catch up with.

What you might also be referring to is the idea of "distributed training", or what is called "ensemble learning" where you individually train a bunch of small unique models that, when combined together, perform better than if they were one giant model (or at least are as accurate/efficient as a giant model.) It's "The P2P model" of training because you can take lots of small models and collectively aggregate them. That's an open problem people are attacking but not really relevant in the case of the DGX.

Many hyperscalers, such as Microsoft and their project "Brainwave", have very complex heterogeneous AI datacenter stacks consisting of GPUs, FPGAs, TPUs and CPUs. (Google "Microsoft Brainwave" for some papers.) This DGX is positioned as an alternative to that but also as a tool for their customers to use since many want to train large models efficiently.
I honestly have no clue about what makes pdf parsing a complex task. I wasnt trying to sound condescending. Would be great to know what makes this so difficult, considering the pdf file format is ubiquitous.
I wish I could use Zeal to browse the Apple documentation as well, but unfortunately that’s exclusive to Dash.

I’ve even paid for Dash to get that feature, but no longer use it due to some UI changes in the latest version that add extra clicks for each search query, making the UI inefficient.

Zeal seems to have be inspired by the old and efficient Dash UI, but I can’t have both that and the Apple docs from what I can tell.

The problem with AI generated images, in this context, is that they can be used to imitate the style of specific artists, meaning any unique talent and vision those artists have no longer has market value. The scenario you describe isn't actually a business model anyone is following, except maybe morons shitting AI porn onto instagram and trying to flog their patreons.

Obviously AI generated art has market value to companies with creative staff because AI is designed to devalue and commoditize the work of actual artists, such that the work of all artists can be replicated by someone on Mechanical Turk writing prompts for pennies a day (or some equivelent low-wage plebian drone.)

AI has already been used to steal commissions from working artists, and companies are already firing their entire creative teams to lean entirely into AI generation. The better the technology gets, the worse the situation gets for working artists because that's the plan.

I don't see how anyone can have witnessed the glee with which AI techbros danced on the graves of the art industry, ridiculing and harassing artists, calling them gatekeepers and fascists, and telling them their careers were doomed, and think this will benefit artists in any way.

I really want that to change, because I find this technology fascinating, but as of now the well has been poisoned, the bridges burned, war declared, and most artists with actual talent would rather starve in the street than touch anything AI.

Isn't this a lot of things which AMD has already sold as the ORNL-Frontier 2 years ago? The main difference seems to be that external bandwidth here indeed is crazy via NVLink (though it is only 450GB/s per way so the same as 64 PCIe-Gen5...) and they have two networks for communication (although I suppose the HPE Slingshot is as good as the Infiniband in here)...
I took this post about F# talent to really imply -> F# has language features that protect or handle 'some concept', and then when the programmer was asked to do something else, they had trouble because they wouldn't normally have had to deal with it in F#. It isn't necessarily the F# programmers skill level, if dealing with other languages and needing more code to cover gaps, and knowing the gaps.

Against an ordinary 3rd rail, yes - these tend to be below 1500V DC per Wikipedia [1] and the German systems I know of all are at 750V nominal voltage, with only Hamburg's S-Bahn operating at 1200V.

Against an overhead line, say if you're urinating from a bridge? That's 15-25 kV if it's rail. I would not dare risk my chances there - and most bridges I know have "piss shields" or generally raised walls to prevent people from trying.

Often what you call 'politically correct' is also more honest. It is exactly the honesty that reactionaries dislike when talking about, for example, the history of racist policies of the United States or other imperial powers. I appreciate that political correctness can be tiresome, but I think it is so blatantly ideological to call it dishonest that its an abuse of language.

Chicken and egg, perhaps? OOO lives and breathes state, so complexity (defined as an excess of state consideration) seems a natural pairing, yet the overhead and complexity is increased by each in response to the necessity of the other? That is, when complexity of the problem shifts, there is a parallel increase in the complexity of the OOO solution.

The general anxiety of the movement towards functional or procedural programming in general might also be a feature of age: a young programmer eager to impress that they can juggle 8 balls effortlessly, but called upon to do the same 15 years later might admit 3 balls sufficed to begin with, and is closer to an attainable sustainable solution.
