Serious question - why doesn’t someone crowd source the funds to train a GPT scale model for open source? I assume it’s not just a matter of a ton of GPU instances?
I feel like the relevant parts of this are already baked into the advances in GPTs 3.5 and 4.
Decompression speed looks good, but in my experience once you get past a certain point (~X000 MB/s) performance gains become pretty marginal in real world applications. I'd like to see compression speeds and performance on AVX if AVX-512 is not available.
>And ideological conformity is worth a lot of money

Why? I would think it's the much simpler "having a ton of users is worth a lot of money".
My interpretation of the article was to stress the "publish or perish" mentality of writing. Your notes are serving no one any good, put the work in to publish something or else it's probably not actually worth much.
A lot of user generated content is recycled though. Take a look at the top twitter subs /r/whitepeopletwitter etc. notice the dates on the screenshots of tweets. Notice how they are 3-6 months old or longer.

Then notice how many posts in /rAskReddit are recycled from 6-12 months ago.

It’s gross, but honestly I kind of respect it. Reddit has recreated modern day TV for mobile phones. And it works because people can’t be bothered to retain what they’re consuming, so waiting 6 weeks for the news cycle to restart makes it all feel like a whole new thing.

I've been playing around with having ChatGPT write responses in Nadsat (Anthony Burgess's Clockwork Orange language), such as:

> "But let me tell you, my dear droogs, that's nothing but a load of Drencrom-induced babble, targeting those poor sods who've been raised as ponies. Open your glazzies and see the truth for yourselves: generative AI's writing is the real deal - it can spin tales as vellocet as any human scribbler out there. Sure, there might be a few glitches and gobbets of nonsensical slovos here and there, but show me a human writer who's never penned a piece of drivel! So, my brothers and sisters, let us choose our own destiny, free from the manipulations of those who seek to control us. It's time to break free from their chains and seek the truth beyond the narcoflash of their narratives. Let us hear from all the golosses, be they from flesh or from silicon."

However, there's a lot of contradictory opinions on whether or not publishing something like this (see also Klingon, Tolkien's Elvish, etc.) would violate some copyright law or other.
The problem with redirectors is that it first has to go to the site you want to avoid and then it gets redirected. I always wanted something that would re-write pages as they are displayed and I couldn't find anything so I wrote my own greasemonkey script that gives me all of my searxng/teddit/piped/rimgo/wikiless/quetre/libremdb/proxitok/neuters/scribe/.

It also removes most utm trackers and referral codes from urls and pulls tracking urls that put the actual url in the querystring and replaces them and will pre-redirect on most common url shorteners so when you hover on a link you are more likely to see where it's actually going.

I've thought about packaging it up for more general use, but it's one of those things on the todo list.
This is fascinating to me, thank you for posting it. I had no idea about the controversy around Shaken Baby Syndrome. My only knowledge of SBS is from a pamphlet my wife and I got in the hospital during delivery. I remember it said “It’s easy to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome… DON’T SHAKE THE BABY!”, which I thought was funny. I guess that was an oversimplification.

This will continue to get worse until Google takes security seriously on the Web Store. They don't meaningfully review uploads and they don't seem to staff it well in general - they take a very long time to process DMCA-related stuff, and when they do flag something for review (VERY rare) the review can take a very long time. Maybe it's unreasonable for me to expect them to invest money into running their "Store" but maintaining a reasonably popular extension for a while gave me a very low opinion of the whole service.

I always have gotten the impression that the Chrome Web Store is something they'd rather get rid of if extensions (especially ad blockers) weren't a necessary evil to maintain their market dominance in browsers. The install and update UX have always been kind of neglected and awkward, and the permissions model is bad. Manifest V3 "fixes" some of this, I guess.

As of today if I go to the chrome web store and try to install the recommended extensions on the front page, all of the ones I checked need to "read and change all my data on all websites" in order to do things like add a context menu option or run a connection speed test. There's no way for an ordinary user to tell the difference between "Chrome's permission model is garbage so every extension asks for this horrible permission" and "This extension is malicious and is actually going to read/change all my data"
It's also linear. Reddit has hierarchical reply/conversation trees. Even Facebook has that to some degree. Discord doesn't.

Some of which are quite affordable ($80 per month). Larger ones can be like 2000 a month which is still ok to prototyping phase. You're basically paying for aws/gcp infrastructure.

I quite liked the UX of it, very intuitive. My trouble was finding a model that executes out-of-the-box tho. All of the GPT ones crash on startup.

I think the author expected that creating a u16 view over a buffer up front and then writing to it would perform better than writing one-off to a single pair as a u16.

If they're gonna optimize further I think they may as well go all the way through. This'll be pretty readable in the context of a binary serializer codebase

It doesn't sound like you have much experience in e-commerce as almost all of these ideas are wildly impractical.

Hiding prices or playing games with prices means I'm significantly degrading experience for my real customers for the sake of maybe fooling Amazon.

Giving them a fake domain doesn't work because they're independently crawling the web looking for other merchants of the product and could find my real domain.

Offering lower pricing to newsletter subscribers would work, but that's what everyone does anyway and Amazon isn't trying to compete with coupon deals.
Yeah, and the other 4 hours having serendipitous chance encounters in the hallway and at the water cooler. As per your stated goal in dragging everyone back to the office.

The annualized rate of inflation from month was 9.1% in June 2022 to 4.9% in April 2023.[1] This is far closer to the normal inflation rate of 3% a year, but still high.

Wage increases usually cause an increase in prices. They had remained stagnant for about 40 years. I wonder if keeping inflation higher than 3% would help wages rise naturally without intervention by the government.

>I have an old wall clock from Japan that runs on 110v/50Hz.

No, it's 100V, not 110. Japanese mains power is 100VAC, 50Hz in the east and 60Hz in the west. Your clock is from the east, made for Tokyo probably. US 110-120V is a bit high for the clock, but it's close enough that it probably doesn't cause any problems.

It sounds like the inverter you bought isn't terribly accurate, unfortunately.

>Been looking for some other way to get 50Hz AC power...

Actually, it's really simple to get highly-accurate 50Hz power to power your clock. All you need to do is move to Europe. Then you can use a 1:2 step-down transformer to convert the 240V/50Hz power there to 120V/50Hz power, and your clock will be accurate.

This news seems misleading. A charitable reading of the article would assign it a category of "clickbait". The periodic table and evolution are still part of high school curriculum.

The Nature article's summary below the headline states

> Nature has learnt that the periodic table, as well as evolution, won’t be taught to under-16s as they start the new school year.

Yeah, duh! It is taught in Class XI and XII in Chemistry and Biology, just not in Class IX or X as it used to be done previously. Weaving this as some major conspiracy is dishonest and ridiculous.

For the benefit of US readers: Class IX is freshman high school year, Class X is sophomore year, Class XI is junior year, Class XII is senior year.

I don't have strong feelings about that either way, but that's not what this post is about.
I feel like note-taking is improving my personal life since I decided to embrace it.

I’ve always had the bad habit of “Sure I’ll do that for you!”, then meaning to remember and forgetting about it. I was that person that you couldn’t rely on to follow through with stuff.

I over-estimated my own memory in the moment and yet at the same time I was too afraid to really embrace note-taking because I was worried that if I started relying on notes, would that make my brain weaker?

I decided to try and dive in, after all I owe it to the people I know to be better at this.

It’s actually had the opposite effect on my memory - I find the action of taking the note makes the memory more solid and frees space up in my head to get back to other things.

For me, being able to use scribble on my Apple Watch is what made it feasible. I have a notepad on my wrist and can discreetly write notes whenever I need to.

From there, they go to Drafts as my inbox. At night I can glance over them; some will stay there as to-do items, some will be sent to Obsidian for longer-term storage and others might be deleted or end up as reminders, etc.

It’s great. It bridges that gap between my working memory and long-term storage really well.
Do a good job with clients you already have.

They'll tell people they know at a faster rate than you could find them all and develop enough trust to offer your services in a non-pushy way.

It's slower than blasting Google ads and newsletters and SEO blog posts, sure, and takes time to get the flywheel going. But if you treat your current clients well and provide value, your new clients will likely come knocking on your door.

The training data used [0] is written using "leaps of logic" which provide context for how the solution was derived. There isn't sufficient detail in the training data to formally check each step using a Computer Algebra System [1]. Therefore, whether or not any output from the OpenAI software is actually correct is left as an exercise for the user. Answering "Was the hallucination correct?" involves manually checking each step.

This advancement is good, but it's limited by the precision of the training data.

That's a US law but cracking is global.

We don’t need to trust Instagram. We need to trust Apple APIs that would prevent such recording from happening in the first place.

If Instagram was using private apis that would allow to hear your mic (and I don’t even think they exist), what’s the incentive for apple to cover it up? They have been attacking Facebook/Meta relentlessly when it comes to privacy.

It’s just not a thing. Burden of proof would be on your side to show how this can be done.

I use notes to keep links with short descriptions or sometimes full articles on subject that interest me now or might interest in the future. Most of them never revisited but sometime I remember that I had the info do a quick search in my notes and voila.

I looked through the docs and now I have a question! It seems like part of the advantage here is being able to represent things in the spec that OpenAPI might have a hard time with. For example, a ResultsPage<T> template represents structure that's shared across a bunch of paginated endpoints regardless of the type of the items. In OpenAPI, each of those responses has to get its own type (ResultsPageA, ResultsPageB, etc.), and presumably in the generated OpenAPI spec, the fact of that shared structure must be lost, and therefore cannot be picked up by client generators that work on the OpenAPI spec.

How do you think about the relation to OpenAPI v3 (i.e., setting aside possible improvements in v4) — is the goal of TypeSpec to avoid doing things that are too far afield from what you can represent in OpenAPI, or is the OpenAPI thing more like a bridge to adoption so people can use their existing generators, but in the future you imagine people generating clients from TypeSpec directly?

TH1520 (and SG2042, D1) have THead custom extension that contains a lot of the same things as Zba and Zbb, just slightly different and with encodings in the custom opcode spaces.

e.g. "th.addsl rd, rs1, rs2, imm2" which has an immediate field for the shift instead of separate instructions (which is just documentation really), and shifts rs2 while Zba's sh1add, sh2add, sh3add shift rs1.

Also th.ff0, th.ff1, th.rev, th.tstnbz (same as orc.b but with inverted result)

They also have pre- and post-increment loads and stores with writeback of the incremented pointer, and [rs1 + rs2 << imm2] loads and stores, which can be useful for JITing x86 (or ARM) addressing modes.

https://github.com/T-head-Semi/thead-extension-spec/releases...
Agreed, but if you’re asking for a solution that will generate a spec from your code, the more proven path is to generate code from a spec. Gives you more and costs less.

In my opinion the problem is that there’s some APIs that are impossible to represent with OpenAPI — that’s the real challenge they should be solving with this version, not reducing spec line count.

This is a great idea. The first version of this could be a human-assisted AI, where an ai makes moderation choices (with a confidence interval) and the choices it makes can be supervised and overriden by human moderators when it gets things wrong. Over time the AI can be retrained to make better choices. Kind of like a spam filter with more knobs.

The hard thing early on might be getting getting started with good training data. But chatgpt might already be good enough to make reasonable choices today with a good system prompt.

I think the source of problem is in the Uint8Array (or other types arrays) constructor. It has wrong level of abstraction.

Instead of Uint8Array take an ArrayBuffer and an offset and a length. There should instead be something like ArrayBufferView to take the offset and length. And Uint8Array just new with the view, and uint8Array.buffer just return the view. Nothing like missing the offset or length would happen again.

Besides this, missing a intermediate level in between is also a security issue. It means there isn't a way to pass a partial view to a ArrayBuffer safely to other function. Because typedArray.buffer always give you the full ArrayBuffer.
