they can be in every tool I've used, and are also on by default, so I think this is a lot of people shooting themselves in the foot.

when I am on support, if you ping me with only "hi" or "hello" or some other simple greeting, I will simply not respond to you until you give me something actionable for me to look at. if you don't say your problem and provide some info about what you need, then I have neither the time nor the desire to pull it out of you. tell me what you need or I will not respond.
This is one of those issues that are, fundamentally and at the very core -- non-partisan. There's no doubt in my mind that those in power -- both in government and big business -- want us divided so that we won't hold government and big business accountable for the atrocities they perpetrate and permit on the public.

But with all that lobbying money, why would they care? Like Murray Rothbard once said, "It's not the left vs. right. It's the government vs. you." Today, I would include big business in the category of government.
Very awesome. Thanks for sharing these little known M2 updates!
They didn't their sentence.

It makes it quite.
That is a logically different scenario from a government employee (acting in their official capacity) infringing the rights of a private citizen.
> Wiping out shareholder equity will incentivize risk taking (think Bed Bath & Beyond or Hertz), and is very likely to destroy company, harming many stakeholders in the process.

Explain how you think punishing bad behavior will motivate more of it.

IMHO, the shareholder class puts out all kinds of noise to avoid accountability, and that includes employing people to produce very sophisticated propaganda that makes false claims against holding them accountable (e.g. false heads-I-win, tails-you-lose scenarios).
Please don't complain about how people use chat, it's super annoying. Just say "hi" back, it's not going to kill you.

Yes. And one way to rephrase my question is: which best practices work for these Python mega-projects?
Seems like you're basically saying "It doesn't matter because the same road can support either a bus or 20 cars."

(1) This is a bad metric because it means everything is equivalent until traffic jam occurs. (Why stop at 20 cars? How about 2,000 cars?)

(2) More importantly, everything cannot be equivalent because traffic jams do occur in any respectably-sized city. Having 20 cars instead of one bus absolutely does contribute to having more frequent and severe traffic jams.
"Most expensive" doesn't mean "highest margin", though.
Yep. Gross.
Hey, there's was no specific "market research" or anything like that.

I run a music project called Tequila Funk (you can check Spotify).

I noticed a lot of musicians just record their phone screen with Dropbox app player (because they're exporting snippets to Ableton Live) or recording their DAW (which requires setup). Some examples:

https://twitter.com/littlesnakexoxo/status/16470785687852277...
https://twitter.com/eprombeats/status/1647072160547246081

https://twitter.com/staynsdubs/status/1664496810268688384

All I wanted is to provide a way to pick a file from Dropbox and get a video to post in your socials in around ~60 seconds. And do this from your phone!

I see people telling that there's a lot of open source visualizers, Winamp and all that jazz. Yeah, sure. But for me personally it's tough to setup all these. All I wanted is to make videos fast, even without using a computer. Most musicians can't clone github repo or setup audio routing lol
> The injunction doesn't cut off all contact between the Biden administration and social media companies. Doughty's ruling said the government may continue to inform social networks about posts involving criminal activity or criminal conspiracies, national security threats, extortion, criminal efforts to suppress voting, illegal campaign contributions, cyberattacks against election infrastructure, foreign attempts to influence elections, threats to public safety and security, and posts intending to mislead voters about voting requirements and procedures.

This sounds like this injunction does literally nothing. If there was a weird political conspiracy between the White House and social media companies, they could easily couch their complaints as one of these issues. This really obviously reads as a judge trying to make a ruling so broad it can't be overturned for press
I've done exactly this for another project. I'd recommend grabbing an open source model and fine-tuning on some augmented data in your domain. For example: I grabbed tech blog posts, turned each post into a collection of phonemes, reconstructed the phonemes into words, added filler words, and removed punctuation+capitalization.
Maybe, but calling them a subordinate is still misleading as fuck.
yeah, its annoying and you have to foot the bill for it.

looking at your sample and using character count as a rough proxy for tokens, (465/(1581-465))*100 means they added ~42% token count cost to your response explicitly adding caveats which you dont want. fun!
Did they say they would cover the cost of fine-tuning again? I saw them say they would cover the cost of recalculating embeddings, but I didn't see the bit about fine-tuning costs.

On fine-tuning:

> We will be providing support to users who previously fine-tuned models to make this transition as smooth as possible.

On embeddings:

> We will cover the financial cost of users re-embedding content with these new models.
They're a British tech company, simply owned by a Chinese private equity fund.

And they're sort of known for historically being very anti open source and their SDK difficult to continuously integrate into a larger product.

I can't find the video I wanted to. It was a breakdown of some big guy who didn't know how to fight go up against someone much smaller but knew some boxing. The little guy backs up, moving laterally away from the big guy's primary hand. After the big guy throws a punch and gets himself off balance, the little guy knocks him out with one good punch to the jaw. Lights out.
I'm a fan of gin over the builtins but:

This is where you need to step out of the standard
Why would I need to point to anything in particular? I think that all Python developers know them already.
Yes, eventually. Right now the sliding sync MSC is still in flux (e.g. we just realised today that it's missing an explicit flag to notify once the client has caught up with the server, rather than guessing via heuristics: https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios/issues/1269#issue...). As a result, the implementation (which is in golang) is being kept separate from Synapse for now while we iterate on it; plus it's a separate set of folks working on it. This also means that SS can be used with any existing server (dendrite, conduit etc) as needed.

It'll get added natively to Synapse eventually, but it'll likely be quite a way off.
> we are strongly in favor of privacy and tracker blocking, but then get upset when we have to pay money

Speak for yourself; whenever I have the option to pay to remove ads on a service I get value from, I sign up nigh immediately. And on top of that, I'm always running with aggressive ad and tracker blockers running.

If given the option, I would have paid a small yearly fee to use Instagram back ~10 years ago when the platform was actually decent and didn't do icky things to push engagement up.

Of course, the problem is that most people would not have paid a yearly fee to use Instagram, so if payment were required, it would be a ghost town. And, all things being equal, advertisers would prefer that there isn't an ad-free paid option, since then the ads reach fewer people.
Some people are not equipped to handle that responsibly. They'll promise it to rent-a-center in perpetuity and still be hungry halfway through the month.
I'll be saying "hi" back the next hundred times they bother me with literally nothing. No thanks, I'll ignore it until they ask me something.
Yeah that's the problem. If they only operated on the website where people intentionally went to contact them they'd have to operate like an honest business.

Instead they have to hang around twitter hoping random teenagers with no impulse control will see their non-sequitor replies and get addicted.
Yes, a lot of words that amount to the sophistry of the "gender critical" (TERFistry?) and a status report on their bigoted agenda.

The author clearly states that they hate that the Biden administration made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender identity. That's it. That's their gripe.
That wastes everyone's time. 'hi' is fine at a personal setting. At work, you waste time for a reply, then the reply to the reply, and only then the person will state their request. This can take hours if done across timezones.

Just say "Hi. <Request>"
Granted I’m not writing this from an I’ve-done-it point of view just a this-really-makes-sense one.
It just delays everything and wastes everyone's time. Nobody is complaining, more like a request that sending context with hello would save everyone's time.

I would say yes. We work with several subcontractors for our software development (business systems and embedded standalone products). Our responsibilities and subcontractor's responsibilities need to be clearly defined, along with an expectation of what functionalities the final product will have. We would usually need to define a week or months worth of tasks and not be able to provide much more input until each deliverable is ready. Our subcontractors would use whatever development approach they want to achieve our deliverables, though.

When things deviate from a set of requirements, we can review and adjust the requirements accordingly so our expectations in working together can stay in line. We don't have a luxury to constantly keep changing things after releasing the software because a we work in a more regulated environment where changes will need to be reverified and validated before release, not just by ourselves, but by our customers. In the projects, we are heavily involved in ensuring a good user experience and integration testing of the software to ensure it meets our needs and solves the business problems we have.

I think it should be used when there is more than one company involved in developing an application between the companies at least, and should be avoided when exploring different design ideas and gathering requirements and scoping out the project. In any project, I strongly advocate towards doing whatever it takes to expose problems and areas of uncertainty that should be scoped out as soon as possible. It's a lot more expensive to build a solution around an existing solution than to incorporate it as part of the solution from the start.
Stop with the newspeak.
I think you just saved me, sir. Thanks for pointing it out, I just forgot about that "quick fix" I left at the development stage. Fixing!

Hi all I’m Tim the Director of Engineering for the Ubuntu Desktop. I think the headline here may have embellished my original post, so if you’re interested, you can find it here [1].

Ubuntu is (almost) 20 years young! As I am sure you can appreciate that means a long history of technical changes. We’re looking to modernise the desktop. We started with 23.04 when we moved from Ubiquity to Subiquity, the Ubuntu Server installer, unifying our tech stack to create a more coherent installation experience across Ubuntu Server and Desktop. We also moved the installer UI from GTK to Flutter to make iterating the interface much easier (Flutter tooling is excellent).

Still, we need to be bolder. In fact we shouldn’t be talking about the installer nearly so much; it's a tool not the destination. I want to improve the installation through the first boot experience so we can move onto more interesting things. We’re exploring a range of changes to get this part right: from declarative configs to answering the question “what does security by default” mean in 2023? In the context of this headline, and to make our intentions clear, we are looking to minimise the default installation. So the plan is to have one lean installation option.

It's late in the UK so I’m going to sign off and be back at this in the morning. We’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on what an awesome out-of-box-experience could look like (either here or in the original discourse post).

Best,
Tim

>This company makes GPUs?

Yes, and they've been around for a while. If you're old enough, you might remember the name "PowerVR".

Today, they mostly license GPU designs to SoC vendors. You'll find their designs in e.g. Android phones.

Notably, JH7110 (RISC-V SoC used in VisionFive2 and Star64) uses one of their recent GPUs.
I just want to emphasize in this comment that if you upgrade now to paid API access, then you won't get GPT-4 API access for like another month.
You'd probably want to have a new __riscv_vsetvlmax_e8m8 at the start of each loop iteration, as otherwise an earlier iteration could cut off the vl (e.g. page unloaded by the OS), and thus the loop continues with the truncated vl.

The normal load should just segfault if any loaded byte is outside of readable memory, same as with a scalar load which is similarly partly outside.
Yes, there’s always the “sufficiently smart compiler” that can generate this code. Question is, does that compiler exist?
From what I can find, pricing of GPT-4 is roughly 25x that of 3.5 turbo.

Experience with what? A sudden 20k windfall?

This will create an industry that is centered solely around milking 30 year-olds for every penny they're worth as soon as they turn 30 and then drop them like a hot potato.

This will drive up prices immensely because there's a continuous stream of people turning thirty and your hard-earned 20k is worth the same as their 20k that just fell from the sky.

It's a completely insane idea, and it doesn't solve any problems. When the 20k is gone, it's gone. It's precisely the people who need it the most that are the least likely to stuff it in the bank.

IMHO this is the effect expected by the people who named the function, and the reason why the name is very well chosen.

Yes, it's funny but that's not the point. The important thing is that the name clearly conveys the message that you really shouldn't be calling it, as explained in the comments above the function definition.

The "funny but there's a real reason behind" aspect is a bit like https://xkcd.com/radiation/ : "It's for general education only. If you're basing radiation safety procedures on an internet PNG image and things go wrong, you have no one to blame but yourself." The sentence is funny but has a real purpose: protect readers and author.
Tyrone_Hayes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrone_Hayes) and his research is a wild rabbit hole to get lost in. You can view his talks on youtube. The guy turned down a lot of cash to get the word out about atrazine. We could use a lot more scientists like him.
I feel the same way. I read one thread where someone was praising the app’s “refined” design. My first thought was, “What are they talking about. The UX is refined because there’s literally nothing here”. It’s just one feature, the MVP, posts/replies.

It would not surprise me if two weeks ago they were not planning on this release and t was only the recent drama that influenced them to release.
Strange.. if it's Yandex and you're from USA/Canada it's expectable I guess, but CDN is just AWS Cloudfront US East 1. I'll try to investigate this.
> Just because you were in public didn't mean you'd reasonably expect to be recorded.

Sure, but as you say, times have changed and the law needs to keep up. I agree. In my post that you replied to, what I'm saying is that it's futile to adjust the law to prevent people from being recorded. It's better for the law to specify what is acceptable to do with recordings once they are made.

In Europe, that's already happening. For example, in Europe, processing any data relating to your identity, including what can be derived from such recordings, is quite limited under the law. Many uses that you might be concerned about already require your express consent.
They have a version (LMDE) based directly off Debian. It's slower to get updates (because Debian) but it's pretty much the same apart from that.
>You could also frame it as "prevent the mass murder of children".

You could if your notions of the world are informed by superstitions and ancient dogma rather than science.

>A headline about this data in another state may say "local police collaborate with murderers" with the same level of accuracy.

You've lost the plot.

Which I indirectly mention in my second paragraph.
Todos are already stored as calendar components and share a lot of properties in common (eg: they’re icalendar components). It’s just that most user interfaces either handle one or the other.

Everything in this field has stagnated strongly for the last decade or so. 99% of the people use the 2 or 3 existing proprietary interfaces that are around, but these are impossible to improve since they’re someone else’s secret code.
I've never seen "nerf" used colloquially and today i've seen it at least a half-dozen times across various sites. Y'all APIs?
Thanks! That is still a lot to compete with, but it's not that much larger than what they had a decade ago.

And loads of them were certainly working on mostly homegrown web standards that went nowhere.

I think Kling and his growing crew has a shot here.
Too many digits of Pi, and too early [video]
by Oliver Bräunling.
The Leibniz formula for Pi gets more digits right when summing the first 5000 terms than when summing 6000. This happens again, e.g., summing 50,000 vs 60,000 terms.

Such unreasonably many correct digits, which then fade away again when summing more terms (only to resurface much later again),
can be observed experimentally,
but there is also a theoretical explanation.

The video is a homage to the paper 'Borwein, Borwein, Dilcher - Pi, Euler Numbers and Asymptotic Expansions, The American Mathematical Monthly, 1989, Vol 96, 681-687'. (for the specialists: By sweeping the error terms for the asymptotic expansion under the rug, I hope to give a more accessible and less technical explanation why these correct digits occur.)
I believe zoo is short for "zoological garden," but of course it's taken on additional meanings. Still, one occasionally hears the term "zoological and botanical garden."
Ask.metafilter.com is a good one

I would venture to guess that 80%+ of the handles are the same on both, enough for the graph to be useful especially for the more popular accounts. If not I bet there’s enough other metadata to do a decent job of mapping them it doesn’t have to be perfect just good enough to get the recommendation engine going. At least enough to bootstrap a recommendation algorithm that is geared more toward primary accounts that create text based content.

edit: I forgot to directly answer you: yes you can run these models. 16GB of plenty. Different quantizations give you different amounts of smarts and speed. There are tables that tell you how much RAM is needed per which quantization you choose, as well as how fast it can produce results (ms per token). e.g. https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#quantization where RAM required a little more than the file size, but there are tables that list it explicitly which I don't have immediately at hand.
