> I can buy IPA, IPAer, IPAest, and IPAestest in every market--maybe. However, dark, heavy porters

I'm totally with you, though my personal love is sour beers. IPA rules the market, to the point where I have trouble distinguishing between whichever super-hoppy IPA is currently the best. But good sour beers are not nearly so common. If someone ever buys Cascade Brewing and kills it, I will be wildly irritated.

I do see that I can buy their good stuff in cans now. I actually think that's alright. They still sell it in bottles, too, but the upside of the can is that it's 250ml, versus the 750ml bottle. One bottle will take care of my entire evening and then some, so the option to just open a can at a time is appealing.
Unless this changed in the last few days, Ballast Point still has distribution in California.
Is this true? I thought it was closer to 5 megabit.
Not if you want the original LLAMA weights, but now there are other models like RedPajama available.
Yeah, I have something like this, but wasn't thinking I'd be needing it this trip. Learned the hard way.
> I don't want the very nasty users of that 10M to interact with me or my friends.

> This is just opening everyone to harassment we didn't ask for.

I fail to see how this is much different from existing social media, where there are also any of millions of users who could harass you or your friends.
In what world does "Quietly, quietly," have five syllables?
I really dislike pulumi's pricing structure. I absolutely hate the idea of paying credits for each resource that I create - it creates resistance to experiment and just create a bunch of resources that don't cost anything on the cloud provider yet somehow costs me money for the tool to manage them.

It's funny because I believe they used to have a per seat licensing and then people complained that they were paying too much for large orgs with a few resources.

Anyways, nowadays I just use aws-cdk. I like the freedom of scripts and the extrme power that comes with them. It is vendor specific, but nothing is really cloud-agnostic, there's always some requirement to have some understanding of the platform's terminology and nuances so this point is pretty moot. It also requires a little bit more planning than just writing something delcarative and letting something figure out the incremental changes, but I like it because it lets me better understand what's happening without runaway complexity.

> LLMs are not particularly good at arithmetic, counting syllables, or recognizing haikus, though, because (contrary to the thesis of the article) they don’t magically acquire whatever ability would “simplify” predicting the next token.

LLMs understand it to a certain extent. It's more then "predicting" the next token. When people ascribe "predicting the next token" it's a niave and unintelligent description to cover up what they don't understand.

I mean you can describe a human brain as simply wetware, a jumble of signals and chemical reactions that twitch muscles and react to pressure waves in the air and light. But obviously there is a higher level description of the human brain that is missing from that description.

The same thing could be said about LLMs. I can tell you this, researchers completely understand token prediction that much can be said. What we don't currently understand is the high level description. Perhaps it's not something we can understand as we've never been able to understand human consciousness at a high level either.

That's the thing with people. Nobody actually understands the high level description of a fully trained LLM. People are lambasting others because they "think" they understand when they only actually understand the low level primitives. We understand assembly, but you don't understand the Operating system written in assembly.

Take this for example:

Me: 4320598340958340958340953095809348509348503480958340958304985038530495830 + 1
chatGPT: 4320598340958340958340953095809348509348503480958340958304985038530495830 + 1 equals 4320598340958340958340953095809348509348503480958340958304985038530495831.

The chances of chatGPT memorizing or even predicting the next tokens here are in a probability too low to even consider. There are so many possible numbers here even numbers that aren't true but have a "higher probability" of being close to the truth from a token/edit-distance standpoint. It's safe to say, from a scientific standpoint, chatGPT in this scenario understands what it means to add 1.

Realize that this calculation results in an overflow. chatGPT needs symbolic understanding to perform the feat it did above.

But there are, of course, things it gets wrong. But again we don't truly understand what's going on here. Is it lying to us? Perhaps it can't differentiate between just a generated statistical token or a actual math equation. It's hard to say. But from the example above, by probability, we know that an aspect of true understanding and ability exists.

I always thought it was lack of universities in Detroit. Henry Ford hated cities, “elites”, etc which is you don’t see a major Ford University in Detroit. There was no Leland Stanford or James Duke in Detroit. So no CMU, Case Western, etc. [1]

NYC has a few great universities which means it has a pipeline of students for high information/innovation business employees. Same with the Bay Area. Chicago, LA too. Detroit doesn’t really have any world class universities.

llama.cpp is great. It started off as CPU-only solution and now looks like it wants to support any computation device it can.

I find it interesting that it's an example of an ML software that's totally detached from Python ML ecosystem and also popular.

Is Python so annoying to use that when a compelling non-Python solution appears, everyone will love it? Less hassle? Or did it take off for a different reason? Interested in hearing thoughts.
Free version of TextWrangler was the sweet spot, for me. BBEdit is more than I need for day-to-day and seems comparatively slow. Not an "upgrade" I wanted.
Yea, I agree with this for gaming. Eye tracking as a gaming interface probably requires rethinking a lot about games. In VR for example the movespeed is much slower. In normal video games the character movement is constantly super-human speed, and this is jarring while in VR.

I am speaking mostly about the desktop interactions. In your Chrome Dev situation, I would look at the cursor before clicking on the stop recording button. I think I might be able to trust the MBP trackpad to do a primed click without looking at the cursor, but I wouldn't trust a traditional desktop mouse to have stayed steady enough.
> because it's not there anymore

It hasn't been there for many many years. I loved how open and free it was. Everyone really had a place there and you could read and interact with every idea, viewpoint, etc. Then as it got popular, it got corporatized, politicized, etc. Journalists attacked it to make reddit align with their version of hell. Corporations attacked it to make it more amenable to foreign markets. Political actors attacked it to further their political interests. It became an insufferable propaganda shithole. Movies, music, sports, nfl, etc subs used to be interesting places for discussion. Then it became publicity platforms for movie and music studios, sports teams, etc. News subs used to be interesting places for open discussions. Then journalists got their meat hooks into it and now they are state propaganda. Even political subs used to be diverse places for political discussion. Now they are purely political propaganda probably run by political parties.

But I guess that's the way it is with all social media. Once it gets popular, the corporate, news and state entities want control over it. Now, most major subs are just advertising platforms. Which is ironic since most of the subs ( news, movies, politics, etc ) started as a reaction against advertisements masquerading as news articles, movie reviews, sports commentary, political commentary, etc. Money/power ultimately won and reddit became what it hated.
I knew two guys long long ago that used to circumvent the per user disk quota on shared machines, which was tiny and not conducive to power users. One found a deep dark corner of the file system, and used it to hold binaries the rest of us used. I think his idea was that if it wasn’t for personal gain it was easier to answer difficult questions, which at some point came up and he got a pass, since it would take more disk space if we had private copies.

The other was keeping file handles open to deleted files, as you describe. I don’t recall how this worked, but I suspect it involved uncompressing data into a file descriptor, then reading it back. I guess as long as his terminal window was open it was more stable than tmp (he may have also been using screen).
There’s a torrent linked in the Llama.cpp docs, it’s in a merge request on the LLaMA repo. Has all the files.
> Side question: Why is everything in craft brew now shipping in cans instead of bottles? When did that happen?

about a decade ago, because it’s cheaper, skunks less, is more sustainable, and is all around just the better way to ship single units of beer.

Presumably this board is populated by pseudoanonymous people, not my grandma though. I don’t feel weird about paying a stranger to cook my food, I feel weird about paying someone I know because it changes a familial relationship into something it never was: a transactional one.

But this does suggest that it would be different to comment on a board like this. People wouldn’t just be making comments for the joy of discussion, they would be making comments with their hands out for a tip.

I think this incentivizes low investment drive-by comments, but perhaps this could be fixed as well. For example, you don’t have to display the actual upvotes/downvotes score of a comment, you can display and sort by a score which is a function of those things and additional information about the quality of that comment, incentivizing comments which are both popular and insightful.
TIL. This actually solves my main need for custom scrollbars.

Now the only remaining use case is when designers don't design components around default scrollbars. Sometimes the default one just looks too big compared to the size of the component. But this can be solved with design (don't cram stuff into small fixed boxes that then need to be scrollable).
Well, the fed ruined stock and bond prices with raising interest rates. You can’t just sit on a pile of dollars because rampant inflation will ruin its value. Real estate is probably all that’s left to invest in?
I believe it's moreso for the (actively pursued) speed optimizations it provides. When inference is already computationally expensive any bit of performance is a big plus
It's something that gets riskier the older you get. Folks don't understand how much of a killer it is since it's just reported as so and so had a heart attack and died in their sleep. Basically just rolling the dice as to whether you'll wake up.
What if it were so easy to blend in through the APIs bc enough real users are on third party apps that use the APIs?
One of the advantage of the array[item]++ / for (item in array) construct is that it avoids possibly expensive sorts (at the cost of generating potentially large arrays), and tends to be quite fast.

That's even if you end up sorting the output by frequency, as the summary listing is typically shorter than the overall input data:

{a[$1]++}

END {for (i in array) printf("%6i %s\n", a[i], i) | "sort -k1nr | cat -n";}

The accumulator/loop idiom is ... fairly readily recognisable to someone familiar with awk.

> if there's gonna be waste, i don't want my tax dollars to be wasted. I don't care if private dollars are wasted, since it's not me taking the hit.

Well, it depends on what it is - if it's a service that you consume, even indirectly, you /are/ taking the hit, because the price you pay will reflect the costs of the company providing the service.

Using the example of energy again - if you're in a place where the energy production is fully privatised, any waste that happens there might impact shareholders more, but you can absolutely bet some of it will be felt by customers.
Just an aside, but I noticed when I was reading this that Justine's C coding style resembles my preference, and it reminded me of why I like to code this way. I learned Pascal before C and Pascal required that you define all methods before they are used. (This is a restriction that ANSI C and C++ worked around with function prototypes.) You can still code C without prototypes if you completely define all functions in the same file, before they are called. IMHO, code without forward references and/or function prototypes is inherently easier to read, but unfortunately it's not always possible to produce.

As far as the cans, it's just a better way to package beer. It stays fresher longer due to less oxidation and also no light infiltration.

As far as Ballast Point in particular, I can only offer conjecture. Sculpin was great ten years ago, but the craft has moved forward and I don't feel like Ballast Point kept up. In my opinion, their recipes are dated. Whether that's due to the acquisition or not I couldn't say, but I believe that's why they've fallen out of favor.
My issue is I can't even sleep without it anymore. I used to be accustomed to the constant waking (since you have low O2 you typically forget), but I've had it for over 10 years now, so if I try to sleep without it I wake up constantly with my heart racing / gasping.

I dare you to make less sense.

But if you try, please start with something more related to what I actually said, thanks.
I'm guilty of the same. I'm about halfway between Portland and Bend, which are both high on the list of breweries per capita, so I can try a huge variety of beers without ever needing to look outside the state. I try to get local beer whenever we travel, but I mostly find that it's just the same as the local stuff, it doesn't feel different.
The Susan G Komen foundation figured that out years ago.
It's a shadow of its former self, though.

I have to work to find Ballast Point now. Before the buyout, I could buy it at gas stations and grocery stores.
The particular airport I was at was something else. Looked like it hadn't been changed / updated in 40 or more years, and had nothing more than skeleton crews working. I vowed to never fly Hawaiian airlines again, a nightmare all around.
Some hallmarks of rural living as I have known it:

- Mom-and-pop restaurants that are just Sysco retail outlets.

- Three screen movie theaters that only play the absolute most popular films.

- Underfunded schools.

- After-school activities that amounted to drinking, driving, drugs, or all three.

- Empty main streets.

- No local theater, bands, or culture in general.

- Absolutely no transit options beyond driving yourself or walking, and walking on rural roads is dangerous.
Because saying "I believe in free speech!" is a very attractive stance to take. You don't want to be one of those fascists that only allows speech you agree with, do you?

We all know that limiting speech is bad and that freedom of speech is an unalloyed good (I'm being very serious there, it is), but this absolute position really applies to governments restricting speech and the spread of ideas in the population. Where exactly the line is when it comes to slander/libel/defamation, or what constitutes incitement to violence, or a myriad of other things... well that's not something people can easily agree on within or across societies. But regardless, you get 'points' for being in favour of freedom of speech even if you can't fully define it. Because you're not anti speech or anti freedom, are you?

When this translates to private companies and the internet, the services want to claim they're all for free speech, but they also realise that this emboldens really unpleasant people to say really unpleasant things, which in turn drives away the mainstream audience. So they have to find ways to moderate or censor without triggering the voices that will shout about censorship. This means doing it quietly, passing the buck where possible, and generally trying not to look like you're doing it at all.

To me it all stems from a couple of odd logical disconnects people have -

1. Private platforms and government censorship are equivalent - "The government censoring stuff would be totalitarian, therefore if Twitter doesn't give the most vile hatred exactly the same platform and prevalence as all other speech we may as well all be living in North Korea". This doesn't follow, to me. You can still spew your bile with impunity, but there is no obligation for any one company to hand you a megaphone, you can always go buy your own.

2. The marketplace of ideas - Good ideas will win out over bad, the best way to tackle bad speech is with more good speech to counter it. Lovely, high-minded principle but a complete bust when many participants in the alleged marketplace aren't in the slightest bit interested in seeking truth, exchanging ideas or finding the better ones, but rather flooding the common space with verbiage for political or monetary gain.

But in the face of "You believe in free speech, don't you?" this sort of nuance is lost.
But a user has to know to look for these alternatives. Use a distro you trust and you don't have to.
I do think that LLMs have emergent properties that do some interesting things, however I would like to point out simple next token prediction would work on your example quite well.

Even simple attention mechanisms would handle that quite well with enough examples of <numbers>

Some subs can't have images or ban memes. It's the fault of mods if content is LQ. The tools are there. Some subs won't let you post if you're account is new or you have low karma. What Reddit should've done is delete the free karma or karma farming subs.

> Why is everything in craft brew now shipping in cans instead of bottles? When did that happen?

- They block all light

- They’re better sealed than bottles

- They weigh less and are more compact than bottles

- They don’t break

- They’re more often recycled

The freshness reasons probably correlate with the rise of hazy IPAs, which are more sensitive to freshness than other styles.
You cold play this game all day. Maybe the intent of the author is that 32 years after they die someone substitutes the letter p for every instance of the letter b in their novels. The thing the author wrote was clearly their intent at the time. Anything else is speculation.

Working on the client sounds good too! Your anti-spam idea would work for one use case of social media, friends and family keeping in touch, but as soon as some of the participants don't know each other that is not enough. Even using regular email you can't primarily rely on email providers to manage spam since they will block the list if there is too much spam, although initial moderation of new list members should often be sufficient. Encrypting the email to the recipient might or might not help with deliverability (but would be a good idea for privacy), but if it does that would make your system more attractive to spammers.

Reliably seeing all messages that your friends and family (or anyone you follow) post would be a big advantage vs many current social media sites but regular email providers would defeat that by randomly sending messages to spam (which you could fix if you provide the client) or rejecting or disappearing them (which you can't).

I think an email provider that aimed at the "keeping in touch with friends and famnily" side of social media might be able to do small-scale well. I think a big part of the issue with email is that most of the end user providers seem to view email as something they must provide but not something they care about, only the marketing/transaction email providers actually care about it with few exceptions (and those exceptions seem to still be stuck in the past; it is depressingly difficult to find a provider with a reasonable set of features even based on what could easily be provided today).

Bakers can compete with other businesses for physical availability to customers. It is nice to have a bakery at every corner, but city would be doing just fine without a single bakery. Teachers and police must be in every district, effectively excluded from that competition.

Sure there is. Alchemist. But, you can only get it within 100 miles of Waterbury VT, it’s so popular and limited. Try the Focal Banger.
Ok, you're calling this sentiment "hogwash", but I think it might be testable. Name the locale you say you can only get IPAs in, and we can probably search quickly to see if there are regional breweries there, and what they're selling. Obviously, in Chicago, we're spoiled for regional craft beer options (although the last time I was drinking beer, which was years ago, we'd still be pulling good brett sours in from Michigan).

Let's get concrete about this. I sort of believe what other people are saying, that regardless of what Anchor makes available outside California, we're far better off today than we were in Anchor's heyday. But maybe I'm wrong! It'd be interesting to find out.
