I'm also struggling a bit to get some decent code output (TS) from local LLMs via oobabooga. I've been getting mixed results and I think it's pretty sensitive to the exact combo of model/parameters/prompt. If any one is off or not tuned to work with the others then results aren't great.

E.g. some models expect very specific formatting of prompts. Some models give nonsense output at temperature=0.7 while others work great. Some models have been fine-tuned on chatbot-bot like instructions (ala chatgpt, so-called "Instruct" models) while others just autocomplete the given prompt. Very important to use the right combo to get the best results.

Thank you for this response and for the advice. I really appreciate both. It's very difficult to keep faith in the discourse, and when we win little victories over our own worse natures together it helps a lot. And I genuinely appreciate the advice.

I don't want to take the time to respond in depth now (I will try to later), but just to answer your direct question, I studied and worked with algae, and in particular it's use in the remediation of water contaminated by uranium mining via bioaccumulation. I didn't bring this up to establish my credentials because I don't feel I'm any more qualified on this subject than a stranger on the internet with an interest in it (remember, I was a technician, I didn't get a bachelor's in biochemistry or anything like that), and I wasn't interested in anything bigger than a pillbug (let alone a boar), but there you go.

(I'm worried this will come off like a "gotcha": I don't mean it or see it that way, like I said, my experience is not definitive, I just want to answer since it's a direct question and think it's ha-ha funny not point-and-laugh funny.)

ETA: And if I'm perfectly honest, I too have become defensive and anticipate a high rate of discussions going poorly, and contribute to this self fulfilling prophecy. My language also raised the temperature needlessly, but more to the point, I didn't present this as a credential because I didn't have the emotional energy to defend it. It wasn't so long ago but feels like a lifetime, and it's taxing to reexamine the plans and passions that hit the cutting room floor one faithful day in March of 2020.

And that's why it stuck in my craw when you said I acted as of science didn't matter, because it cast a stone towards a place of nostalgia. And I overreacted and was pretty snarky in response, which is my bad.
Sure, and it would have worked with COVID as well IF there was close to 100% compliance AND you could sustain that for 2 to 4 weeks. The only place that had real lockdowns where they actually welded the doors of people's apartments was China and they did effectively stop the spread of COVID until the much more contagious omicron came along. By then people were weary of lockdowns and the protests started threatening the government.
You forget that people using reddit also provide its content. Should users start charging reddit now as well? Reddit would be nothing without its users.

“pointless” = “without decent justification/rationalization", AFAICT, and “slurry” is about conditions, not justification.

“Slurry” seems to indicate a similar assessment of condition to “quagmire”, but maybe with less implication of stickiness? “Quagmire” doesn’t seem to be address justification, its orthogonal.

Unions aren't just for the poors.

Your solution of voting with feet is an extreme countermeasure, many people want to improve 1 or 2 things about their workplace, not leave. Unions help with all of this.

it is more expensive to buy clear gas, but the savings in gas mileage usually makes it worth it.

at least until the clear gas went up more quickly than the ethanol gas:

$4.79/gal for premium
$4.99/gal for clear

that was a no-brainer.

$4.79/gal for premium
$5.99/gal for clear

that is a little different calculus. that's about break-even for me - if those prices diverge further, then I will just need to stop driving as much. currently, I am managing about 50 miles/week at most.

I agree. My personal term for this is "weakly post scarcity." It's the point at which the median member of a society will more often suffer from excessive consumption of $thing than they suffer from deprivation of $thing.

There will never be true post-scarcity in our finite universe. A lot of services and goods can become weakly post scarcity in that they'll exhaust someone's finite time (watching YouTube or other entertainment) or destroy their body (drinking alcohol) before the median person will run out of money to personally consume more of them.

The weakly post scarcity environment brings new challenges but they are largely better ones to grapple with than those of a high scarcity environment.

Will my comment be more clear if I will rephrase it in simpler words? Vision Pro can record, but it is not a recording device for the most use cases. Something else will come either from Apple or from 3rd party vendors, probably in a format of a 3D camera in a smartphone. And when such devices will come to the market, people are going to use them the same way they did it before (see Instagram and TikTok for examples). That’s it.

I’m not Apple fan or insider, but what would you do if you were Apple and if you do not have or do not want to disclose the existence of more suitable recording devices? You would probably use the same glasses for the demo, right?
Who owns the loan doesn't make a lot of difference, really, compared to who services the loan. But even still, you may not want to do business with some company for any number of reasons: maybe they treated you or someone you know poorly in the past; maybe you don't like how they do business; etc.

The loan servicer is more important --- some of them are terrible at their job and tend to misapply payments etc, causing extra work for the borrower.

good point. also, if there was only one of each then there might have been a difference between them other than how they looked like.
The energy density of fuel is much much higher than electricity, which makes using fuel to transport energy to where it is needed is much easier, and it makes the effective range for gas much higher because in those cases where you need it you can always just take extra gas (even taking into account the relative engine efficiency, to the worst possible degree gas is more than 10x the miles per kg than current battery tech).

Add to that speed of refueling vs. recharging, the many areas where power is not available at all, let alone super chargers (absent specialized charging hardware charging an EV takes days), etc fuel still has real value.

There are vast swathes of the world where grid power is not available, so the only available power is via diesel generators, which are generally around 40% efficient. At that point using an EV is not only slower, but at that point the best case efficiency (watts/kg) is less than 34% vs a diesel car engine's 43% energy efficiency.

If you have the right environment you might be able to use solar to charge the car, but I think for that you need something like 6kW of solar panels per car you want to use each day, and an additional car worth of batteries to store power during the day because you're presumably using your car at during the day. That's not a trivially portable system, so still doesn't fix the "I am driving a long distance where there aren't super chargers".
Must have been some big backlash
I'm guessing this is for Taobao? They do stylize the term they use for products.

The more accurate translation would have be "precious/treasure" -- i.e., Shop for [Treasure]. (Taobao lit. means to [Pan] for [Treasure])

In common colloquial usage, though, the term would indeed refer to "baby" in the same sense as "my precious/darling".

Sorting is not a niche topic. Anybody who majored in CS (which is a ton of people these days) will read the abstract and most of the paper thinking "Wow, I can't believe they discovered something better than O(N log N)" because that's usually what people mean when they say "better sorting algorithm". What they discovered here is effectively a new compiler optimization. They should present it as such instead of calling it a new sorting algorithm.

But ya, discovering a new compiler optimization automatically is kinda cool.
Okay, let me try that:

$ echo -e 'package main\n\nimport _ "golang.org/x/image/draw"' > main.go
$ go run main.go
main.go:3:8: no required module provides package golang.org/x/image/draw: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

$ go build main.go
<same error>

go.mod seems pretty required.

With rust, you can also technically just call 'rustc' and never use 'cargo', but just like it's a pain to do that in go, it's a pain to do that in rust.
Heat pumps achieve greater thermal output than the input energy, unlike electric resistance heating.

The latter is 100% efficient (all energy in is delivered as heat). Heat pumps exceed 100% efficiency, and can deliver 3 to 6 times the heat energy as input, as they are moving heat from the exterior environment to the heated space.
No, this is incorrect.

The USFS does a lot of controlled burns, and has done them for a long time. Not sure where you heard otherwise: it's a significant part of what they do.

They briefly paused doing them last year after a controlled burn got out of control in New Mexico, resulting in a high-profile wildfire. But that's only evidence that they were already doing them. Anyway, after updating their policies, they resumed prescribed burns later that year.
> punch your desired app name into the store's search.

And in the case of Android you might not get the app in the search results because Google decided your phone is not compatible, in which case the Play Store will pretend the app doesn't exist. To this day I don't understand this stupid design, it confuses the hell out of users who don't know this obscure detail, sometimes even misleads them by installing another app that showed up instead of the correct one.
Strongly disagree on (1) being a fact: Snowden basically exposed the rot in a branch of government. You argue that this made the "tree" weaker; I would counter that this actually gave an opportunity to fix and heal things (which was mostly squandered).

All that was damaged or lost was the pristine public image (which was a delusion in the first place and Snowden exposing it doesn't make him culpable).

I also dont get the whole "Snowden was a cleverly manipulated asset" attitude: Where is the evidence for that? This is exactly the kind of overcomplicated but soothing conjecture that conspiracies thrive on; Snowden put out concise and sensible descriptions of his motivations actions and timeline-- what makes you discard all that and suspect some grey eminence instead?

I made the switch from Qwerty to Colemak over ten years ago.

How long for me to transition from being quite fast at Qwerty to being happy enough with my Colemak speed? I'd guess roughly 2 to 4 weeks. As an independent software developer and entrepreneur at the time, it worked. I was mostly writing code, not having to write some heroic quantity of emails as a manager.

In addition to the "typing feels better" benefit, I found the very process of changing to be quite beneficial in two ways:

(1) I did more thinking in advance and more planning and therefore less unnecessary typing. This was very niiice. Please imagine Borat saying it for full effect.

(2) The cognitive challenge of switching my primary mode of interaction with computers had a much broader effect on how I appreciated learning and habits in general.

Conclusion: you have should switched yesterday from Qwerty to an APL keyboard. /s
You're right mostly, there are also some special cases where it makes sense to hide the UFOs (or any radically new, advanced tech), some examples:

- the alien tech isn't really and/or fully available, they are half way in the reverse engineering efforts, and maybe other powers are in the race too

- the alien tech intrinsically reveals some currently hidden aspect of the universe/reality, if you present the technology publicly, it will be obvious that there's something new, and everybody will pursuit advances related to these new physics.

i.e. imagine discovering the eletricity in the XV century, it would have changed everything.

That example isn't scary, of course. The -or/-our spelling difference is only the simplest example of what's different between American and British English. I think it's pretty clear to someone who's never even encountered the other spelling to infer what the word means.

But there are difficult examples, even in Rowling. She uses "revision" in a way that American readers don't know ("studying") and might have a hard time piecing together from context. It's not like the reader will be prompted to open a dictionary, since "revision" is a common word in AE. It just makes for a poor reader experience.
I was hoping this would get picked up because it's a Chinese-made multi-language LLM that's apparently good, but lacks some information.

Written from the ground perspective of general web consumption, but those who moved to higher ground looking for better places to surf the web with higher quality signal / data, saw this problem coming a long while ago. The web moved from being something that served its users, to one that needed to censor the signal / information some people were looking for, due to groupthink (eg politics,) due to copyright or other concerns. First we lost the fantastic web string search engines that could really pinpoint topics, than regular search engines depowered slowly in spits and spats in the decade that followed. Then a few years ago the tables turned and suddenly search engines figured they didn't really need to compete very hard ... here we are today, no more 1000 or 2000 results if the user wants to look over that list, it seems the main crawler search engines have agreed to serve a handful of results instead, fuck the people, what are they going to do about it ...

I have long toyed (since 2011) to address this very BS, with the idea of creating a new simple web format, but token fee for access, the likes of the music and movie industry reps need to pay a $$$$$$$$$ fee to have a limited account, BS search engines are banned outright (along with LLM,) various site types declared by default (ie banner, or a redirector) as well as each page having a token to sum up what it is, eg not spam or spam, - however I've long recognised everything my poor head has been through the last couple of decades I'm frankly not equipped to do it. Oh well, I guess at some point someone will strike on the same type of idea.
