If I manually deduplicate/copy a 1GB file, how many such offset/refcount tuples would be created in RAM? Just one for the whole file, or one per underlying 128kB block?
I just thought about how you could probably "store" a pretty good approximation of a picture in a LLM and some input parameters that are orders of magnitude smaller in size than the original.

I think that's what this paper is about right?
Your comment made me curious what the penalties for this were in my own country, Britain. It seems as if one can lose one's driving licence for both offences, but with drink-driving, there is an additional possibility of incarceration. With texting, if one has been driving for more than two years, that person cannot lose their driving licence from just that one offence.

I'm starting to think that there's an intrinsic challenge with young people being vulnerable to depression. They are thinking hard, trying to figure out what they're going to do, having all sorts of "firsts". Oppenheimer was apparently quite moody, more so when he was younger. There's an especially stark moment in American Prometheus where he unintelligbly screams, seemingly out of nowhere, and throws his luggage down a staircase, putting a woman on the stairs at mortal risk. His parents traveled to Europe to attend to him.

His daughter committed suicide. As did a lover of his.

I certainly have dark spells. When I was younger, I coped by withdrawing. Now, in my 40s, leading teams executing missions, I can't withdraw, it's very much "Hello darkness, my old friend".

Charles Bukowski has become a favorite author. Typing question stems into Google is far more therapeutic than browsing social media. Talking with a friend is more helpful than a therapist. Exercise, similarly. Talking with a friend while riding a bike is positively curative.

Good luck, author died in 2013. This was written in 2006 and it's safe to say people consumed media differently back then
I had the same thought as the OP about a language I wanted to design to explore some concepts, and thought of using JSON as the syntax, with the grammar defined as a JSON schema.

No it isn't. For instance, in the US one starts a BS at 17-18, finishes at 21-22. Median CS PhD is in the 5-6 year range (this site, based on actual data, says 5.7: https://gradschool.duke.edu/about/statistics/computer-scienc...). So if you go straight to the PhD program (common) that puts the median finisher at 27-28.

marked images can be excluded from training data in the future, so that it doesn't eat its own output, which is known to cause model quality to degenerate (an issue likely to plague training LLMs on post-2022 datasets.)

as for training the model to add a watermark, that's an interesting idea but I'm not sure it's feasible/not trivial to circumvent.

Well, Google decided to stop publishing their research after losing the battle to ClosedAI, which Google themselves started (the transformer paper that Google researchers wrote in 2017). So it's reasonable to think that companies are not going to compete with ClosedAI by being open about their latest achievements until they have something comparable to show. They might have achieved incredible success in terms of inference speed, but not in the quality of responses.

It's also possible that they're waiting to see how the regulation landscape changes. Big tech like Google and Meta are under much more scrutiny than a small company like ClosedAI, so they might need to solve legal issues before they can unleash their models. For example, Meta didn't release LlaMA for commercial use partly due to legal reasons. I've heard they're working on the next gen LlaMA w/ commercial license. I hope that happens so that ClosedAI realizes they can't enjoy their monopoly for long unless they become more open about their products.

Hmm I wouldn’t associate this with a conservative argument. The argument provides a claim that we are building an unsustainable system which is not producing the outcomes that we want.

Encouraging competition and unrestrained capitalism is typically considered a defacto conservative argument in the US. However the lines are blurry in different decades and in different countries.

Is it a prepaid virtual card? Cloud providers these days tend to block such cards. With so many horror story about getting unexpected huge bills, it would be sensible to use prepaid virtual card, but I guess cloud providers would never risk potential non-payment for allowing prepaid virtual card.
There's an enormous advantage here in getting people to pivot to this new app in that so many already have an instagram id.

If fbook can somehow persuade a few important influencers to switch over on launch day that could get a bunch of instagram using twitter users to download.

I'd love to see Blue Sky get traction, but I have to imagine that various government agencies that are looking for a new service to use for their communications are going to be more comfortable pivoting to a Meta product than some new startup.
They were not being sarcastic. When it gets cold up here the wind power production tends to be low. I have no idea why; complex weather patterns are involved.

And people whose goals are to become rich rarely have the intrinsic motivation to ever create anything worthy of market success. Money isn't everything; it's a pretty weak motivator in the grand scheme of things. Yes, the uber-wealthy use money to keep score, but make no mistake, all self-made billionaires have deeper motivations that drove them to success.
I called out the prior comment already, but this also needs to be called out. There are more channels for privilege than special permission in the law. Social mores, law, and luck in birth are the three channels from which privilege can elevate someone's starting point over someone else. I think limiting the source of privilege to only legal permissions misses the discussion, either disingenuously or naively.

I think it depends on what you mean by understanding. KataGo taught itself to play go by explicitly deprioritizing “losing” strategies. This means it didn’t play many amateur strategies because they were lost early in the training. This is hard for a human to understand because humans all generally share a learning curve going from beginning to amateur to expert. So all humans have more experience with “losing” techniques. Basically what I’m saying is, it might be that the training scheme of this AI explicitly prioritized having little understanding of these specific tactics, which is different than not having any understanding.
I'm really glad I stumbled upon this thread. I need this app badly.
Trying to reuse same code as it is written on both server and client is a bad idea.

As a language, JavaScript may support loading from file system or web. But, one of its use cases must not be code reuse on both client and server.

If I am to write a project in this way, how would it look like?

Assume, I write some server code in a server project that I want to use in client as well. How would I access that code from client? I need to make it accessible over internet. But, that is in a project that has other code as well, some of I do not want to be accessed over internet. What do I do? I will write rules in my web server to only allow access to specific files. Here and beyond, this process becomes complex and will get only worse.

Not sure I agree. Looks like upmarket rentals all owned by a single company. If everyone is a renter, it limits the amount of community that will develop. There's a light rail station but otherwise you're in lawless Phoenix traffic.

It looks like stick-built / Type V / combustible construction, and they're giving everyone an e-bike, which is mildly scary given the trouble NYC is having with structure fires started by bike and scooter batteries.

On one hand, this is also what I use, and it kind of works.

On the other hand... Wine and NVidia seem to not like each other... at all. Every game will require tinkering with Wine and a bunch of things that are supposed to wortk with various NVidia drivers and video adapters. And there's non-zero chance that it simply won't work. Or won't work with your display manager / desktop manager / monitor connection etc.

For instance, I play GuildWars 2, and after a long struggle to find a Wine version that would work with it, I still cannot get 3rd-party extensions to work (eg. arcdps)... and I abandoned all hope of figuring out why: way too many randomly but similarly named libraries with obscure purpose.
This is an ongoing struggle with providers like Azure AD. In our setup, we have function apps that are receiving OIDC tokens from our AAD provider - either from our tenant our others via B2B collab. In this arrangement, it is possible for a user to pass authn for up to 1 hour before revocation in the hosting tenant takes effect. You can reduce this expiration but it can make the experience really bad across the board for all apps.

My current strategy for dealing with this is to add application-specific safeguards that re-verify the assigned roles of whatever user principal is present during more sensitive operations. If we detect that the user principal+token is no longer authorized, we can revoke our session bound to the AAD token and any further access is effectively restricted.

I've seen some other approaches, but I don't think you will get one that fits like a glove without making some alterations to the actual application which is consuming these tokens.

The only thing I've gathered here is that progressives are exhaustively drab and annoying to deal with. They will examine things from the point of view that is precisely aligned with only theirs, calling other people's careers useless in a rather amusing turn of events, and then say, without even slightly being self reflective, that these people they are examining are backwards and narrow minded.

To me this says profoundly nothing that was not already known, but needed to be demonstrated in full view of as many participants as possible. To say the least, derailed, but does anyone know the purpose of this derailment? It can only be explained by a progressive in the most whimsical way possible.
Perhaps schools should simply have an extra set of mobile phones that are specifically designed for education only.

That way, every student has access to the device, and every student will have the same device, and there is no risk that the device is used for e.g. watching tiktok.

Mobile phones are cheap enough for this to be a reality.

avoidance behavior is a bad response to mental issues. Even if it works temporarily, in the long run it shrinks your world and reduces your confidence. It's why people with panic disorders are taught to confront stressors and learn to adapt, not lock themselves in their house.

Regarding the news, a practical issue is of course that it doesn't always work. If you're privileged, self-employed or what have you, you can dodge a lot of issues for a while, but not always. Aaron himself ironically and sadly enough found himself at the center of the news years after he wrote this. That the news is just what happens to other people is an adolescent idea that will at some point be shattered.

I've got a lot of Ukrainian friends who did a lot of coding out of a bunker the last year and a half, and over there nobody has ever told me they stopped reading the NYT and their issues went away. That's most of the world, the news is real, only very few people are so removed they can just ignore the world for decades.
I recently saw a cool trick with css and tables. Using after pseudo selector with content and the attr css function, the small viewport layout showed the th labels without having to have two simultaneous tables in the dom. I think the downside of this could be accessibility issues, since I'm not sure if a screen reader would see those virtual labels vs literally reading what's in dom.

It's great, I've been using it for my long hour 45 commutes by train and I can usually get there and back without a charge (but cutting it close).

I've been playing Nier Automata & Devil May Cry 5. Both on pretty good settings but I've locked the refresh rate in the decks settings to 30fps and lowered the TDP of the processor per game so they both run at a smooth 30 while drawing as little power as possible. It's great for the commutes.
For whatever reason liberals always seem to be the ones who withdraw into their bubbles. The problem is this leaves the other side the opportunity to capture various government organizations, like SCOTUS.
man I hate to pull the "get a real job" quip but I would bet my life that most of those "creators" are going to end up getting a "real" job in the next few years. My sister makes a couple TikToks a month to review stuff and these companies pay her stupid amounts of money because of the number of followers she has. She lives in the West Village where she regularly hangs out with Malcolm Gladwell and David Blaine. She does something with art. Spain's bureau of tourism (I'm sure they have another name for it) paid to fly her and a couple of other "influencers" to Spain for a several-day tour of places Salvador Dali either lived or created something for. It's fantasy land, where company execs think things like that are a good use of money. MrBeast and Legal Eagle will be alright whether YouTube dies or not, but everyone else is screwed.

IIRC its "memory" (actually input size, it remembers by taking its previous output as input) is only about 500 tokens, and that has to contain both your prompt and the beginning of the answer to hold relevance towards the end of its answer. So yes, it can't make anything bigger than maybe a function or two with any consistency. Writing a whole program is just not possible for an LLM without some other knowledge store for it to cross reference, and even then I have my doubts.

You can organise a group in a very legal way, with a very nice and clear description, which is an obvious front for something illegal (allegedly).

I find it intriguing to note a comparable approach by MySQL, where it functions as a NoSQL database, specifically a document database, owing to its adoption of a multi-paradigm methodology.

Starting from version v5.7.12, MySQL provides the "MySQL Document Store" feature, which enables data access through a document interface utilizing the proprietary XProtocol protocol. It is important to mention that this protocol is incompatible with MongoDB. The fascinating aspect is that the data can be modified interchangeably using both XProtocol and SQL.
