>Did you read the paper? The authors admit it is only narrowly learning and cannot transfer it's knowledge to unknown areas. From the article: "we do not expect our language model to generate proteins that belong to a completely different distribution or domain"

Good thing they don't make sweeping declarations or say anything about that meaning narrow learning without transfer. Jumping the shark yet again.

>We find that without prior knowledge, information emerges in the learned representations on fundamental properties of proteins such as secondary structure, contacts, and biological activity. We show the learned representations are useful across benchmarks for remote homology detection, prediction of secondary structure, long-range residue–residue contacts, and mutational effect.

From the sequences of just the proteins alone, Language Models learn underlying properties that transfer to a wide variety of use cases. So yes, they understand proteins in any definition that has any meaning.

I think the previous numbers were the non overlapping 13.813±0.038 and 13.772±0.059 billion years. For some reason a lot of popular science when talking about the age of the universe cite numbers nowhere near either of those, I'm not sure why that is. Someone might want to write an article about the history of that.

If it was a condo development being sold, then yes the end buyer of the condo would pay, but if it's a purpose built rental, then the builder has to pay the tax.

> Residential builders sometimes face unexpected GST/HST liability due to the self-supply rules in Canada's Excise Tax Act. In effect, the self-supply rules deem a builder to have sold to itself a residential property at fair market value if the builder constructed or substantially renovated that property and then either rented it out or personally occupied it.

In effect this makes purpose built rental (PBR) dramatically less viable than condo development and a core reason why builders basically stopped building PBR entirely.

Setting aside the discussion around whether PBR or condo is better to build etc, the core point here is while yes, housing is a provincial responsibility, the Federal government's taxation policies have a dramatic impact on the sort of housing that is built in this country.

> The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe.

Indeed, I'm sure it's marketing speech but it tells me nothing about what xAI actually does. Yeah, something AI-related I guess, way to go...

I'm currently reading C. G. Jung ("L'homme a la découverte de son âme", French title, doesn't seem to be an English edition to this one though, roughly translates to "man discovering his soul") where among other things he talks about the nature of reality: "the psyche is the real entity in the supreme degree, since the only immediate one". And also that your typical Western man usually suffers from "the disease of knowing-a-priori-everything-better-than-anyone"...

Maybe Elon should read it and get a grasp of himself because I probably won't take lessons about the true nature of the universe from the guy who literally wants to do dick measuring contests on twitter.
If you can customize the display based on the user's device, then we are back to the current problem of companies not customizing the display based on the user's device.

Quoting myself back at the beginning, to avoid needless repetition:

"As for where the now literally trillions of dollars of lending is having an impact on inflation, it'd depend on what that money was doing beforehand and what it would have done if not lent. Inflation comes down to monetary velocity, which is largely (though not inherently) driven by monetary supply. If trillions of dollars in student loans are increasing these factors then it will drive inflation, the only question being to what degree."

What I was alluding to there is that lending tends to increase both monetary velocity, and the monetary supply. This is what makes lending so much different than normal spending.
I don't think it will ever be feasible to be charged directly, transaction fees are just way too high (and it's only marginally better on the crypto side). A postpaid system would work I suppose, ie you pay your total at the end of the month. But postpaid usually involves a credit check (in north america at least), so prepaid is really the only universal option.
Sure, but are we at the point where science is now just a "data problem", as in: we have a lot of data we can't interpret, so we need AI help there? I honestly don't know, but would guess that that's not the case.

Most mobile apps are already hybrid apps. It's just so much easier to develop it, especially if you already have a web app and some frontend code that can be reused.

Most apps don't need many native features, and the native app that wraps the web view can be quite minimal. Developing it directly in Xcode and android studio is usually easier than using some kind of multi platform abstraction like react native, flutter, xamarin, ...

Native apps mostly became something for companies with a big development budget >1m$ per year, or much more. Like Uber, Meta, Twitter and so on.

A good native app may be superior, but the gap is not huge. With a limited budget the hybrid app is probably going to be much better than the native app.

Another benefit of the web app approach: users can use it even without installing it, just in their mobile browser (maybe with limited functionality).
Here is Beagle board list:

If I had to eat the same banana every time I chose to eat a banana I wouldn’t give a shit, at all.

In fact if you told me that my understanding of physics was wrong, and that I had in fact only eaten one banana ever in my life, which had been reconstituted and delivered to me each time, I wouldn’t have anything to say. Because I wouldn’t be able to tell if that was true.

Because bananas are all the fucking same from a practical standpoint.

That’s what a commodity looks like.
>Other breweries do cans. Easier. Cheaper. Tastes better. Keeps the art fresh.

Canning has significant upfront costs that mean that for small operations it's not easier or cheaper. At the scale of Anchor, it's viable, but does require a significant investment in retooling.
I think it's definitely less ambiguous because there are no locales (that I know of) that use YYYY-DD-MM, whereas MM-DD-YYYY and DD-MM-YYYY are both quite common. So, with a little bit of experience, if you ever see four digits first you can be 99% sure that the next part of the date is the month.

Edit: I also think that you don't need to be involved in tech in any way to be aware of date formats. They show up in all kinds of everyday places like tax documents, bills, cheques, receipts, exams, etc.

There's lots of negative things about him on Twitter right now
If someone on a different instance decided to follow a famous celebrity, and Meta tried to attach that celebrity's name to an ad without their permission, the celebrity would sue and it would be a slam-dunk win. Meta can't use someone's name without their permission. Even someone non-famous could sue and win. Some very big companies have gotten into trouble that way. Adding "sponsored content" is not a get-out-of-lawsuit-free card here.

There'd be nothing stopping that celebrity from shilling for a product on their Threads feed and their followers would all get any such shilling. There's already some of that on Mastodon, which is OK if instances permit it (authors, artists and small businesses promoting themselves).
I've been told by recruiters directly that the multicolumn layout style can mess up applicant tracking systems, so it's best to go with the standard format. It looks boring, but it won't cause the system to reject your resume because of extra spacing or formatting.
If you rip the motherboard out of a NUC you'll probably end up with a board of a very similar size. The laptop style cooler takes up more space than the board.

The dimensions are different (more square, more USB ports, no GPIO) but they're not as big as you may think. A NUC is about twice the size of a Beaglebone with much better performance and software support, plus the advantage of being able to pick your own RAM and storage options.

For something like a picture frame you can easily use a NUC. For an e-reader you'd run into form factor issues for the cooler, but for something that low spec an ESP32 would be even more compact without sacrificing much.

Heck no. That means your date changes if the instant<->date mapping changes (for example, adding a leap second, or your country changes their time zones). If it's a plain date, store it as an ISO 8601 date (for example, "2023-12-30"), or equivalent plain date format (such as Postgres DATE).

Ref counts have cycles, which cause leaks (in this universe).

But I digress. Overhead like increments only matters on hot paths, which are very few. The Python + C stack for ML is a manifestation of this truth.

> I'm not a beer guy, but as I understand it many craft beers are actually made through contract brewers.

Same thing with spirits like whiskey. There's massive distillery named MGP that makes a ton of whiskey but they don't market or sell any direct. They sell to companies that want to sell a whiskey brand. They're known as a "production contractor". This way you can bring a product to market but you don't have to vertically integrate the production of it.
Thanks. I was going to point out that this was an existing problem in the Fediverse (there are instances that are 'unsafe' because they are either explicitly _for_ hate speech or just don't do enough to moderate it) and that the standard approach is to not federate with those instances, nor with any instance that chooses to federate with them. It's not universally popular (some people don't like the idea of 'guilt by federation') but it's necessary if your goal is to prevent your users from coming into contact with nazis.
I made Tamagui (with much effort) to solve this, which has probably the best setup out there at the moment for sharing your UI code on the frontend: https://tamagui.dev

For backend we're working on a starter kit that puts together all the pieces (there are a lot!) that's days from release, if you reach out on the Discord I can help get you on as a beta tester. It uses Supabase for data and auth, which seems to give the best overall package for data and auth.

For state depends entirely on the complexity of app. For simple apps you can get away with just something like React Query and Reacts useState, for more complex one of Daishi's state management libraries (everyone has their different preference, I love the black sheep Valtio), or the new kid on the block Legend State looks interesting.

The biggest part is getting a monorepo set up properly with shared code. Again the Tamagui starter repo `npm create tamagui` has this set up and its a whole ton of work saved in terms of getting that right.
ActivityPub has the notion of a "shared inbox", so if N different accounts on alpha.example follow an account on beta.example then beta.example only has to send a single copy of a post made by that account to alpha.example rather than N copies of the same post.

As someone who frequently browses used electronics - you're way off on the locked Macbook prices - you probably won't even get a locked iPad (latest 3 generations) for €100 - let alone a MacBook.

A locked 2020 M1 MacBook Air is going for $319[1] on eBay. Compared to $600[2] for an unlocked version of the same model on the same site. So my instinct of about half-price for locked device checks out

I'm not an expert, but some thoughts:

* The problem with large vectors is that they have large dot products with every other vector, which would imply that they are more similar to everything which doesn't make sense.

* Adding the requirement that "length==1" doesn't matter much in high-dimensional spaces, since that only removes one degree of freedom. Don't try to use too much 3D intuition here.

* It might be intuitive to think that "large" should have implications for the size of the vectors, but that really only applies to a couple of examples. We want vectors to represent thousands of unrelated concepts, so this one case is really not that relevant or important.

* In reality what ends up happening is partially the "very" dimension you're suggesting, but also just a "largeness" dimension. Individual dimensions can still have a scale!
I don't think it's any cheaper. In the US (and I assume everywhere?) you need to buy separate tickets. Maybe you end up buying less snacks?
I worked at a small company with about 50 employees where self-organizing teams was the norm in tech departments. It was comprised of mostly senior developers and researchers though so they mostly were able to avoid rabbit-holes themselves and prioritize as needed. I don't think such teams have shown to work in bigger companies though. Does anyone else also have insight or experience with self-organizing teams?
That's been my Twitter experience for many years now.

Excel is a ubiquitous tool with many applications for life in the information age so don’t even take this out of context and argue about life situations in the Stone Age.

If you’ve ever tried managing your own finances in a seriously methodical manner, for example, and you should, then using Excel or alternative spreadsheet software simply would be inevitable. Are you saying that managing your own finances is not an important life skill, let alone a chore? Should anyone be proud at all that they don’t? Heck, she has achieved some success as an artist so she must have money to manage and understand. Even rich people who have businesses to run must deal with Excel on a regular basis, because not doing so is gross neglect and can have serious consequences, both financially and legally.

I don’t understand why you’re so hellbent on defending ignorance, to be honest. If you’re not aware, you should know that you went a really long way to defend not knowing Excel, to think that for Kelly Rowland herself, I only criticised her tone.
If mobile is integral to this business then go native and launch with whichever platform makes sense first, push as much logic to the server as you can or write some shared Kotlin Multiplatform or Rust components. Otherwise I’d start with a webapp or maybe React Native, Flutter still feels pretty risky to me personally.
