It's pretty straightforward, because Instagram displays users' account number on their IG profile.

If someone has an account number of 50,000, it seems to mean that they were the 50,000th person to join.*

I have an Instagram account with a lot of followers, so I've hade a steady stream of notifications coming in about new users joining.

By viewing the profiles of people who just joined the platform, I can see where they were in line and get a general idea of how many users have signed up.

I started checking this intermittently and recording the estimates.

*I don't think this is explicitly stated, but it seems to be true based off of Zuckerberg's posts about user milestones.
Why would anyone who knows security make that claim? There's so much more than just software security. Even if you secured every bit of code your company wrote that wouldn't make you secure. How much does solving for every OWASP top 10 vuln help when only 10% of your product is software your devs wrote? What about the open source libraries or non software parts of the business? You can't run a company without using some amount of 3rd party software or having at least a few employees that need to communicate using chat or email. While I'd agree there a lot of incompetence out there, I think the problem is much harder because there's a lot of variables out of your control. Now we're back at the original problem of how do I try to control for people and vendors I have to work with and there's a huge imbalance of information.

you told me I would use gpt4 api in this month, but it's just 6th July.
The best part is the documentation sources, in fact I'd prefer the only feature being "where are the docs on <stupid specific thing I need>" instead of trying to synthesize an answer for me
It's not the case for kernel driver. Open source (and merged into main) is a big advantage in this context.
I'm curious. When you buy a loaf of bread from the local market, are they cheaper than first world prices? If so, do you pay double the listed price and demand the shop pay double the price to hire workers so as to not exploit them? Are your expenses in said developing country lower than what you would have paid if you were in a richer country? Are you donating the difference to the local community?

Just curious.
This comment just made my day. What I didn't mention in my initial comment is that when people ask me, even today, "how did you get into computing and programming" that is the story I tell them. Of course, there's hell of a lot more to it, but that's mostly where it started. (That and my mom teaching me Logo on some ancient Apple machine)
My guess is that these businesses are also running inference on someone else's GPUs/TPUs so there isn't an existential advantage to owning the weights.
Is it too much to ask how, exactly, other apps safeguard this info? Allegedly, according to the App Store privacy declaration, mastodon collects no user content. Now how does that work? How does one post on a network that doesn't collect user content?
I appreciate the defense, but idioms are not something I am great at, and definitely goofed this one.
It's not that Nvidia 'keeps winning', Nvidia failed mobile computing, failed embedded computing, had no market share in the server market or data centers, was left in the niche market of gaming as a companion to PC and was not that impressive all along.

then its parallel GPU got "lucky", first the bitcoin mining, then the AI. it probably did not expect and plan for this, to some extent, it got super lucky.

credit must be given to its CUDA ecosystem and the ability to better itself when chances knocked its door, it so far left all competitors in the dust, its showtime arrived, finally.

Octopuses sleep–and possibly dream–just like humans
I used a similar service when I was told by KLM (same company as AF) that a cancelled flight of mine was outside of their control (it wasn't).

It was a special case because they cancelled the first out of 3 connecting flights and rebooked me onto a flight leaving the day before on that very day (had to stop what I was doing and rush to the airport to make it).

All other flights were on time and I technically arrived at my destination on time.

Luckily there had been a prior case that was tried at the EU court and the court ruled that you would get compensation if you end up leaving early.

After KLM rejected I decided to use one of those services as it seemed like a complex case to argue and lo and behold, about a month later I got my compensation (minus the fee I had to pay the service).

As far as I understand they have a group of lawyers and immediately threaten with legal action. I wouldn't be surprised if the airlines simply auto-approve the majority of claims made by these companies as that's cheaper.

I'd still try and claim the 'normal' way first as the fee for using such services is quite high (20-30%).

Python works around this by having multithreading through multiprocessing and IPC. its made pretty easy to use with the futures builtin module but is finicky/slow/hard to support.
What are alternatives you would suggest to these frameworks?

(I am also deeply skeptical of these frameworks, but don’t have a strong argument against them, and they seem pervasive in the security industry)
PSA: anyone working at a company with $50k+ of spend with AWS, reach out to your rep expressing interest in AI. You’ll be on a call with 6 solution architects and AI specialists in a matter of days. They’re incredibly knowledgeable and freely recommend non-AWS alternatives when the use case calls for it.
Ventura 13.4.1
The OP didn't even say which year this happened.

Anyway, I'm not disputing that grad students leave school for job opportunities. I am disputing whether they left because of some student union disagreement, and whether such a union disagreement could somehow limit undergraduate enrollment.

Moreover, the budget for the University of Wisconsin is set by the Governor and legislature, so if there's no enough money to pay TAs more, it's their fault.
Maybe this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_right but it doesn't exist in every countries.
How can a notoriously area inefficient technology like FPGAs be hardware that is made specifically for the AI job?

And I’m not even touching the fact that FPGAs (which I love to work with!) are a pain to program and optimize for.
Until recently (some time within the last few years), it wasn’t clear if graduate students at private universities could unionize.
There are a lot of zombie companies that only exist due to bailouts and zero interest rates. Sounds like you’re at one of them. Inflation and interest rates aren’t going down any time soon.

It’s all cyclical. The decadence today will eventually give way to another recession, and we’ll build something better from the ashes.

I’m also growing increasingly disgusted by the state of the industry. Things weren’t so messed up 10 years ago, but salaries were also not so ludicrous at the time. I suppose I should be careful what I wish for, but I’d appreciate some disruption right about now.
If I had to guess it is a react native app that hasn’t been optimized for release yet (Bitcode enabled).
The World Might Be Better Off Without College for Everyone (2018)

It's not just administration, it's everything else living on your server. It's the difference being surprised when package x doesn't support ubuntu and being pleasantly surprised when it does support BSD. It's the difference between being the most well-tested and well-supported configuration of all your tools and a niche thing that a couple volunteers got working.

Many of the things I did as a traditional university sysadmin long ago probably works on FreeBSD, and if you wanted to deploy a LAMP (FAMP?)/Django/Ruby on Rails/etc stack it would probably be good enough, but the world has moved on since then. Once you want k8s, ansible, distributed filesystems, HPC, scientific, etc. it starts to break down really quickly. Many of the things I listed above may work, but it's the less documented, less supported, more annoying, and more likely to break path. The extra time spent getting it to work on FreeBSD and maintaining it is not time well spent unless there's a very specific reason FreeBSD is better, just grab RHEL/SLES/Ubuntu and skip all the hassle.

FreeBSD has its place in very limited scenarios and where you have the engineering resources to deploy it, but it should not be the default choice for a production deployment.
Absolutely. The cost benefit analysis of changing your oil vs getting it done at your mechanic's tilts heavily toward the latter, especially if you only own one car.

I get full service 5W20 oil change (with fluids top up, oil disposal while no effort and have the assurance that the job will done impeccably) in under 20 minutes for $29 at my local mechanic. I do this 3 times a year, and it's $87.

Whereas I were to do it myself, I'd have to invest in $274 worth of equipment, and the 5W20 itself is about $15. It'll take about 20 oil changes to break even (roughly 6 years) and then after you'll really only be saving $42 a year, not to mention the time cost and oil disposal hassle.

As far as I know, only COVID misinformation was filtered out on Twitter. The GOP is suing on the basis that they went too far, but the GOP has not been acting in good faith in years.
> Competition means giving customers exciting, fast, low cost GPUs.

You actually need to do more. The ML community chose nVidia because a decade ago, nVidia donated GPUs to universities for free. People like Hinton hacked CUDA as a poor man's HPC.

For example the original AlexNet use 224x224 resolution pictures, to fit the GTX 580 3GB memory.

I mean, you're not wrong: there is absolutely a big place for API/CLI support with DB tools, but in this specific instance, the OP specifically asked for a GUI, not CLI or APIs to roll their own.

As a Logseq user I'd say that your last sentence/question is correct. The graph that emerges from your page references forms the primary form of structure. If you want to be able to find X by searching for Y, either mention Y in X or tag X with Y. In addition, though, when you have a page foo/bar/baz, foo and foo/bar also become their own pages (not folders per se, although they'll show baz as a child) which does let you get a folder hierarchy if you need it (and every folder comes with an index.md, because it's a bona fide page). Especially useful for nested tags like #movie/comedy.
So you'd rather OpenAI crush all business in the area by outcompeting them for workers, ensuring local businesses struggle to hire?
Individuals are a completely different organism than groups, and groups than societies, and societies than...

You hopefully get the picture. We may get better at remembering history if united via a common cause under a common leadership. Otherwise it's just an organism looking for food and trying to survive.
I love open source, but this is just isn't true. If you are a company, and you find an actual problem with Nvidia, and you just spent some multiple of $100k or more on graphics cards for a cluster. You are able to get an ear and get that driver fixed.
For that matter, using an access-key or secret-key at all is basically an anti-pattern now.

In the past few months AWS has added to their UI a popup box that asks you why you are creating access keys, it makes you answer it before generating the keys. Once you give it the answer it tells you better ways to do almost anything you're trying to do, and you have to agree to ignore those suggestions one more time before actually generating the keys.

Basically the standard access keys are really of no use anymore. You should be using roles, OIDC, IAM Identity Center, cognito federated identities, or something else. There are a million ways to identify yourself that are more secure than that and I wish tutorials stopped assuming that you should generate access keys because in no practical 2023 use case should you be doing that anymore. Especially not in any sort of sensitive or corporate environment.
If oceans get too hot, fisheries will collapse and wreck coastal communities. Sea level rise will make storm surges worse and make "once in a lifetime" events more common.

This instability will drive a migration of people inland, essentially as ecological refugees.

Arch is great when you live and breathe it, but it's pretty much the only distro that has required reading to know when manual intervention is required and what the latest problem packages are just to run updates.

And if you aren't part of Arch culture and already know that you need to know this, or you step away from a system for long enough and miss some Arch News, you're going to have a uniquely Arch experience when you reflexively pacman -Syu instead of running informant or checkupdates first.

Is it illogical and inscrutable? Not at all. Does it sometimes skip a few steps here and there that can trip up both new users and old ones? For sure.
Germany, for example, has much less money flowing into education than the US. They seem plenty educated enough to me.
That is not how UAW works. There is an opaque set of rules that lead to UAW reps being elected, and then the UAW reps will not listen to member concerns unless the members first successfully petition to be heard at a meeting. To be counted in the petition, the people that sign it have to physically show up to the meeting, and the rules are set so that they may have to attend multiple meetings.

At that point the UAW rep is “allowed” to hear the concerns.

Many other things happen that can kill even the most basic common sense request.

Eventually, when it is time to vote on the contract, the UAW rolls the negotiations up into multiple campuses (at least with UC), so it is mathematically impossible for a given campus to block a contract ratification.

This is exactly what happened with UC Santa Cruz in 2020, and the reason UC Berkeley’s health care plan no longer covers a bunch of women’s health issues. (Word has it the union rep suggested that cut, not the administration.)

How network effects make AI smarter
We do have regulations and laws to control genetic modifications of pathogens. They are done in highly secure labs and the access is not widely available to anyone.

If a pathogen more deadly than Covid starts to spread, eg like Ebola or Smallpox, we would have done more to limit its spread. If it’s good at hiding from detection for a while, it could potentially cause a catastrophe but most likely will not wipe out humanity because it is not intelligent and some surviving humans will eventually find a way to thwart it or limit its impact.

A pathogen is also physically constrained by available hosts. Yes, current AI also requires processors but it’s extremely hard or nearly impossible to limit contact with CPUs & GPUs in the modern economy.
They require people like Zuckerberg and his merry band of stalkers to know something about me. I would prefer them not to.
It's interesting you chose the boiling frog parable because it's a fallacy. Skeptics contend that climate change will not precipitate an abrupt catastrophe; rather, humanity will simply adapt to it.

To illustrate, the Earth's temperature has already risen by approximately 1 degree since the inception of industrialization, yet our lives have arguably improved significantly during this period. Would we willingly forsake the past century of human progress to revert the global temperature back by that single degree? This seems improbable, and yet it is a viewpoint advocated by certain climate change alarmists who propose concepts like degrowth.
He might be comparing to some of their older models that held up really well for a long time vs some of the disposable crap we get now.
It works until you can't replace legislators because of gerrymandering or other legal barriers.

For example, if you look at registered voters in Louisiana 38.9% are democrats, 33.7% are republicans, and 27.3% are independent (and only ~64% of the independent are white). [1]

Yet it's a solid red state where democrats only really have a chance at electing governors.

And then you have situations like making it illegal for the people you don't want to vote.

Kings Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest - these were the first experiences that really fascinated me with computers. The exploratory conversational aspect of the text based interface is still compelling to me. I’d love to see all these games on phones - I think they’d work well.
It's funny to me that you have such an incredibly thoughtful series of prompts and responses to yield optimal results as if you are truly leveraging AI and I am just yelling at it like it's a junior dev on a Slack that I don't like. "Chat! Take this code and make it do X instead! I wanna do Y, do it. Nah, not like that, do it with this thing here."
It depends a lot on the domain, even for CoT. I don't think there are enough NLU evaluations just yet to robustly compare GPT-3.5 w/ CoT/SC vs. GPT-4 wrt domain.

For instance, with MATH dataset, my own n=500 evaluation showed no difference between GPT-3.5 (w/ and w/o CoT) and GPT-4. I was pretty surprised by that.
I've tried a few, but given my workflows, I find the "built-in" database GUI capabilities in Jetbrains IDEs more than sufficient for my needs.
Hey man, I can't be the person to fully educate you on this but 2.7 degrees of average increase does not translate to a slightly warmer summer day. The language used makes it very misleadingly sound like no big deal, but it is a BIG deal. Without trying to be cliche, there is an XKCD for this and here it is: https://xkcd.com/1732/

A short way to get the point across is that when the earth's average temperature was 4°C lower than it was in 1990, that was an ice age. "Boston is buried under almost a mile of ice".

Imagine such a dramatic climate change in the other direction, 5°C hotter than 1990.
Given that we know that there can be multiple types of intelligence and that college only tests a small fraction of those types - are you comfortable with this binary framing? That the only way to go is up (in years of education)? There's no alternate model, different framing, etc. to educating a populace outside of these two choices?

Please - let's approach this question with an open mind - there are plenty of alternative approaches worth considering just from other parts of the globe.
Please don't cross into personal attack or name-calling swipes, regardless of how right you are or feel you are.

More GPUs currently don't exist. Nvidia is at capacity for production, and they have to compete with other companies who are also bidding on these GPUs. It's not an issue of raising the price point. The GPUs they want to buy have to be purchased months in advance.
In Wisconsin politics and with the context of unions, 2011 was a very memorable year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Wisconsin_Act_10 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Wisconsin_protests

If you were a STEM major graduating in 2009 or 2010, you went to grad school for a year or two and got a masters to wait out the recession.

In 2011, grad school was made much worse as the union for grad students was severely curtailed and benefits for state employees (grad students being state employees) reduced.

As the economy was picking up and you've got a masters and hiring in STEM fields is outpacing all other hiring - it is time to put off procrastinating in grad school and get a job.
