Doesn't position become irrelevant after some distance in context window? I mean for long data table it's often doesn't matter how it's sorted. For meaningful text, text in between changes the meaning :). Transformers don't capture this. And just position may be too simplistic. RNNs (mentioned in other comments) with proper design can be better solution(?)
Yeah, but you can change the world, and it doesn't necessarily mean you'll make a lot of money, and that's all anyone cares about, so what are you gonna do?
Quanta's articles are long and I don't invest the time to read every one I see, but the nature of the subject material doesn't lend itself to a TL;DR that captures what is actually interesting.

100% of the time I’ve had initially (mildly) high reading as an adult, I've had a second reading in the office assuring that those are followed (usually, only the “sit quietly for five minutes preceding” is skipped initially), and that's been over a period of 30+ years.

locks and mutexes will perform worse than things like atomic increment.
The problem with this one is it’s not going to change anything because we made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on.

That's just straight up incompetence. -Everything- is negotiable at the end of the day. To draw a line in the sand like that and refuse to negotiate at all is extremely childish. It's the kind of thing that's appropriate on a 5th grade playground, not in the world of a purportedly serious business that's looking to IPO.
Flex was added in 2009, but it had bugs as late as 2017. It is one of the problems with adding features as fast as they are. There is no point in having features if they don't work or are broadly supported
No, Reddit relies on people needing to mindlessly scroll, barely reading even the headlines, all to fill up minutes in an empty existence. "Caring" doesn't feature highly. The 35 million members of /r/aww aren't there because they care deeply about something.
This isn't constructive (or relevant). Are there any specific technologies or ideas that the lighting network could contribute to this article?
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing!
Interview with a rocket scientist [video][40 mins]
Reddit janitor salary - $0/hr (full time)
The vast majority don't care and will continue using Reddit.

Some (eg me) will just stop using Reddit. I didn't need an alternative, I needed a reason to stop. The blackout gave me that.
From your own link:

> The exception to this rule is if you have a blood pressure reading of 180/110 mm Hg or higher.

> A result this high usually calls for prompt treatment.

That's what I meant by "high enough".

A single 150 x 90 mmHg reading may be uncertain ground but you don't ignore 220 x 130 mmHg.
I vaguely remember a mod called tower defense which we played on LAN, I wonder if that was the inspiration.
I editorialized the title on purpose to remove the sensational noise but the interview may be worth a watch for anyone that is interested in an interview with a grey-beard redneck rocket scientist his words, not mine. He discusses stratospheric balloons and what payloads they can carry.

No.

The README has an example of shipment, so let’s think about that. It is a bad example though because it just has packed → shipped → delivered, which is not a real business process.

Let’s say you’re a seller, as opposed to UPS or FedEx. The first thing that happens is a customer makes an order. What happens next? Well, the customer can cancel their order. Or the order can be sent and then the customer can ask for a refund. Let’s try to model it:

Ordered + cancelled → cancelled
Ordered + warehouse packing → packed
Packed + cancelled → cancelled
Packed + warehouse handed package to shipper → shipped
Shipped + cancelled → too late, it’s still in the shipped state
Shipped + return request → awaiting return
Awaiting return + received return → refund
Shipped + received return → no RMA, so no refund. No state change.
Shipped + 30 days → archived

Etc. I am too lazy to do the full model, but you start to get the idea. The important thing is that actions happen from outside the system and then they cause state transitions based on what the current state is. Sometimes the system just stays in the state it is already is in, and sometimes the system moves backwards. Some actions can’t happen in certain states (can’t get something back before it goes out, can’t dismiss a closed modal dialog), but that’s not because of business logic but because of the real world. The business logic only enforces itself, not the world.
Has anybody gotten this running on consumer hardware ala llama or is that not in the cards?
Re: "not everything in math can be described by sets”

This is probably a better example: Russel's Paradox. Does there exist a set of all sets that do not contain themselves?

I think it's a clear example of something that can't be described by standard set theory. "Set Theory", without further qualification, I think that it's safe to assume that they are talking about ZFC (or maybe Naive) set theory. Also, this is a reply to a post, so I need to make some assumptions about the audience, while keeping the post brief and coherent. I'm not trying to open up a discussion on what statements are true in every possible version of set theory, or the implication in other branches of math.
Honest question: why would atomics be necessary or useful if data isn’t shared between threads?
I just had the same experience. It was so strange.
Investing dozens of hours into learning something deeply enough to be able to modify it is a bit silly when someone who already knows what they are doing could probably do the same thing in half an hour.

This is dumb:

> “Protest and dissent is important… The problem with this one is it’s not going to change anything because we made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on.”

If someone is negotiating, you can negotiate with them. Punitive action like boycotta can help put pressure on negotiations, but often the whole point is to force someone to negotiate on something they are currently not negotiating on. The other side not negotiating isn’t a problem with protest and action, its the problem motivating it.
I think I get what you are saying and appreciate the detail and time you took. Hope you will similarly excuse my lack of brevity.

Here on HN there is a huge level of entitlement with some and some of these folks with that attitude are certainly not at the earning floor. There is the large degree of difference between an Amazon SWE making $200k in a WFH arrangement complaining about exploitation because of aggressive release deadlines as compared to the Amazon driver pissing in a gatoraid bottle because he can’t afford the productivity stat hit to stop at a restroom while making $35k a year. One might have a point and one might want to probably look at things a bit more pragmatically. Perhaps both need to quit and move on, but one of those folks certainly has more justification to bitch about their lot in the life of Amazon. Of course this is just my opinion. So in terms of my framing…I was speaking to the HN audience, not the floor earners.

However, consider this about the floor. The government’s use of minimum wage laws should protect those workers. Employers are forced to comply with that minimum or face legal issues. You can certainly argue that minimum wage is not enough but isn’t that is a government problem and not an employer problem?Government sets the policy. If the floor is not protected the government has failed in its responsibility. An employer complying with minimum wage and successfully staffing that position at that wage is not really exploiting a person per se, if anything they are exploiting a law. The onus is on government, not the employer to make sure the employee is not exploited.

Now if the employer is unable to staff the position at that minimum wage rate, the onus is on the employer to set a rate that staffs the position. Still no real exploitation by the employer here since they are exceeding the legal requirements. The floor is protected but the job market then sets the rate higher for the position. If anything the market of workers now exploit the employer’s need for an employees.

However, if there was no minimum wage law and the employer takes advantage of a captive market (that small town) and sets the salary rate low—that would be exploitation of the person. Where that tends to exist (in US) is in industries that employ undocumented workers. I think you could make the argument that these workers are the true floor and are really the only folks in the US that are exploited in an employer/employee sense.
Maybe usually, but this is a well accepted fact about Lemmy.

>An example of that turnaround is the Giuliani/ Bloomberg years in NYC - folks who ran on platforms of reducing crime and actually making life better for those who keep the place going.

Giuliani was elected NYC mayor in 1993 and reelected in 1997 (two-term limit). It is not an exaggeration to say that the typical Upper West Side or Park Slope liberal on election day 1997 spent the morning denouncing Giuliani as a proto-fascist who led a fascist police force, voted for his reelection in the secrecy of the ballot box (he won by 13% although Democrats that year had a 5X registration advantage <http://www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/enrollment/county/county_...>), then spent the evening bemoaning his reelection and confidently predicting to their friends that the administration would of course kill or exile yet more homeless.
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt but yeah... its not obvious yet but it easily could be.
Part of my point with the 20k subscribers is that it's nowhere near close enough to hit critical mass.

I'm sure some communities are going to find footing on, but it's not going to be enough to get the masses to move over.
I haven’t really heard of Lemmy before. Do you have additional information about the creators support of China?
That is your sign to figure out the answer and fix the manual. This is often the most needed contribution. If you do well your feature requests are get priority as you are an active contributor.
> If the Reddit blackout were serious

I don't know about you, but my web searches have been severely hamstrung by the blackout, so it looks like a lot of subs are still taking it seriously. There is so much content that is now gone and inaccessible, Reddit's bounce rate on Google has to be through the roof.

It's not that the blackout isn't serious, it's that Lemmy isn't yet a viable alternative for most people.

It completely ignores the simple UI paradigm of tabs or a sidebar. You should be able to move between repos without blowing away whatever you're in the middle of. I'm forced to be in one at all times, and I can't manage multiple repos at once via a simple sidebar. It's like it takes all of the inherent arcane complexity of Git and creates a UI that is so barebones it almost mocks you for deigning to ask for a GUI.
The recommendation for bp reading is: Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported for at least 5 minutes before your reading - https://www.cdc.gov/bloodpressure/measure.htm

However, this doesn't happen. In US, you check in, sit in the waiting area, then a nurse takes you in, checks weight on the way to the room, then takes bp as soon as you sit. All done in 90 seconds to 2 mins. I thought I had high BP, but was confused by the range of 20+/-, luckily my primary doctor explained the procedure and took my measurement. Now I don't get concerned, I know they are doing it wrong.
I’ve seen the recent statement by someone at OpenAI but whatever weasel words they use, it did change.

The modified cabbage-goat-lion problem [1] that GPT4 always failed to solve, it now gets it right. I’ve seen enough people run it in enough variations [2] before to know that it absolutely did change.

Maybe they didn’t “change” as in train anything, but it’s definitely been RHLFed and it’s impacting the results.

It's definitely an improvement. Instances should be allowed to moderate speech however they want to.

Good software is continuously improved. Criticizing the authors for an arguably wrong design decision they've corrected years ago is vengeful and petty. It's no different than the viral rumors spread by the Mastodon thread TFA mentions. This is abhorrent behavior that has no place in the open source community.
So does this download a hugging-face model and run it locally? Is the hughing face library doing the inference or something? Can’t see as much code as I expected.

Yes, it's roughly the idea of this book.

Is it still worth reading? It depends on how much you are interested in the history behind all these.

I think the book is recommended so much because many people have very weird view towards the concept of "debt". Maybe their upbringing taught them debt is intrinsically bad or something.
There are a few examples elsewhere in this thread where people have linked to supporting evidence. It's really obvious as well if you just go to the website and browse for a bit but it's infested with tankies, and has the support of the developers.

From a sub with reasonable traffic non-tech sub that I moderate...

Normally I have ~75 new subscribers per day and less than 5 unsubscribes per day.

Just prior to the strike, the subscribers dropped to ~35.

At the start of the strike, unsubscribes went up to ~10 while new subscribers went up to ~100.

During the strike, the number of new subscribers went up to ~175. Other subs with a similar topics (and the big one) had gone private during that time.

I'm back to ~75 new subscribers per day.

As to old vs other... page views per day for the past 30 days (very spiky) and the previous 30 days

Past 30 days | Previous 30 days
Client Low High | Low High
old.reddit: ~35 ~100 | ~25 ~75
new.reddit: ~200 ~900 | ~200 ~400
Mobile web: ~100 ~300 | ~100 ~150
Android client: ~1000 ~2000 | ~1000 ~1500
iOS client: ~2000 ~6000 | ~2000 ~3000
Total: ~2500 ~9500 | ~3000 ~5000

The past 30 days have been very spiky. Not just a little, but very. The previous timeframe was very regular.

Old.reddit... yea, it doesn't have the numbers at all, though I'll note that most people using the sub appear to be people browsing on their phone as even new.reddit isn't that much higher than old.reddit stats.

I'm gonna say though, that for a sub that is for "regular people" - the most prolific users aren't 3rd party apps or old.reddit. At least not with with the people who browse this sub.

Now, for a tech oriented very low traffic sub... (and looking at its stats, it went way up during the strike since the high traffic ones closed from less than 500 page views to about 1500). Normally it gets a subscriber a day with 5 new subscribers being a significant growth... there were 55 new subscribers during the strike.

Past 7 days | Previous 30 days
Client Low High | Low High
old.reddit: ~25 ~75 | ~10 ~60
new.reddit: ~400 ~600 | ~75 ~475
Mobile web: ~150 ~250 | ~30 ~150
Android client: ~125 ~350 | ~25 ~100
iOS client: ~400 ~700 | ~25 ~250
Total: ~1000 ~1500 | ~175 ~1000

New.reddit seems to be the preferred client there, though its such a small sample that its difficult to say much.

The API appears/is believed to to show up under mobile web as the bucket - along with people still using the mobile web client. The page served to a browser pretending to be an iPhone is doing calls against the newish gql.reddit.com APIs.
The people who care are posting content for the rest who scroll. The scrollers is where the money is, but the posters are why they exist.
Even the quickest Google search would disprove your anecdotes
When I was teaching computing at high school a few years ago, I was constantly perplexed why there was no 'simple' VCS built into beginner IDEs/editors/online IDEs. As a starting point, nothing more than being able to save a version (number, label description), and revert to and earlier one.

Looking at how a lot of students learn by trial and error, being able to be a little more verbose on what they're trying/have tried would make this trial and error so much easier, and also be more descriptive/conscious of what they're doing.

Having effectively gotten rid of the save button with auto-save, why didn't we replace it with a 'tag' button?
What a dumb argument. As I already pointed out, this is a feature that was standard for years on EXISTING PHONES and other products, which Apple "forgot." In the modern world, it is expected that if you call someone, they will be notified. Why on earth should someone have to call every few minutes until he "gets through?"

Do you think this is the '50s, where someone tells the operator "Keep trying!"

Not to mention, this is an OPTION, one that Apple already added for TEXTS. Why is it OK for texts, but not phone calls? Are you similarly outraged over the option for texts?
As others have suggested: this sounds very much as if you don't understand federation.

So long as you're on a well-maintained instance (one that responds reasonably quickly and appropriately to abuse reports), you can interact with ("federate") with any person or group on any other well-behaved instance.

(The full reality is ... slightly ... more complicated, but generally, where you are doesn't have much impact on whom you interact with).

I do agree that the focus on interest-specific instances is cumbersome, and probably a poor choice. That is, it affects a small minority of instances and Fediverse participants, and there are instances whose focus is actually a core of the local community --- @ColinWright's Mathstodon and Jerry Bell's infosec.exchange, for example).

Otherwise, join a general-interest instance, or one that corresponds with one of (or your primary) interest(s).

Let’s be clear here, while you are 100% right that armv8 atomics kinda suck by default, neither compare and swap nor load linked store conditional scale but some atomics can scale if implemented and used appropriately. As parent points out, an atomic increment can scale, we proved they could scale to the performance of a load in the 80s for goodness sake. The fact that arm, ppc, and some others tend to implement these in the absolute worst way possible for performance doesn’t mean atomics can’t scale.
That's why it is an OPTION. An OPTION. As I said, Apple already implemented this exact feature for TEXTS. Are you outraged over that?

Nobody said you'd be FORCED to endure the horrible nightmare of being informed of missed calls.

Researchers discovered awhile back you can monitor blood pressure via the earlobes.

Not only that, you can monitor it during activity during movement, without requirement to sit still.

So I am really surprised some startup has not come up with a special earbud that also monitors blood pressure via a clip extension and broadcast via bluetooth/ANT+

Would be huge with athletes, especially with an aging population.
Your comment would be better if you could link to a source or proof. And more specifics, what exactly did they do?

BUT!

Even stipulating everything you said is true does not mean we shouldn’t support Lemmy. Open source code can live or die on its own merits. To punish them in one area because of political views in another is another toxic manifestation of cancel culture.
