> we do have a small "fun money" monthly budget item for each of us that is a black box.

This is what we have done, but it's been a gradual process (starting before we got married) of moving our shared expenses to a joint account, and that "fun money" is just kept in our own separate checking accounts. That way we can keep a tight eye on our joint spending and savings goals, but don't have to worry about each other's spending preferences (within agreed limits).
According to the specs. The keyboard is running QMK on a RP2040. Does anyone know if this will be programmable like quality mechanical keyboards? One thing missing from all high-end laptops is the ability to program the key mapping at firmware level so one does not have to re-configure the OS. Caps lock is such a useless and easily accessible key.
Of course it will - it will make everyone equally as useless at the subject
Fixing Webflow's load latency issues
I would worry that animals would accumulate radiation in their bodies over time, similar to how tuna can end up with large amounts of mercury or other toxic metals.
It doesn't look like anything to me.

A lot of marketing, for sure. That's all that seems to crop up these days. After a few decent local models were released in March to April or so (Vicuna mostly) not much progress has really been made in terms of performance of model training. Improvements with Superhot and quantization are good, but base models haven't really done much.

If they released the training data for Galactica. Now that would be more revolutionary.
Is this a DIY Edition or a pre-built configuration?

Could you also write into support (though note that response may be delayed)? If you are logged into an account, the team should also be able to check the configuration that is in progress to see what is missing: https://framework.kustomer.help/contact/support-request-ryon...
Learning remotely is hard, especially for kids. People will just get normal tutors.
So for instance your model might need access to borrowing. In fact I know people whose entire trading strategy depends on being able to access shares to borrow in large size so that they can squeeze out a few bps of yield on certain situations. The guys who control the borrowing are picky about who they want to lend to.

Or your model might need to be really, really fast. Not everyone can just have access to a microwave link. The guys with the microwave are also picky.

Or your model needs certain kinds of data, which you will need to get certain vendors to sell you.

You might have a need to trade multiple models at once, which are not profitable on their own (uncorrelated, share costs). This is a juggling act done often at the business level.

For almost all trading you need some staff who know how to do things. It's not always the case that you just pay them a salary to do some job. Business decisions there as well.
What about non-scoped/indefinite "disguised employment"-like arrangements?
I'm convinced that a significant proportion of people today don't use bookmarks and have never leveraged their power because they grew up with tabs and never bothered to explore their other options for organizing websites.

You can save all of the tabs of your current session as a bookmark folder in one fell swoop! Your research tabs can be all saved together and opened as a group! Your gift ideas that you won't close because you don't want to forget about them can be saved in a folder named gift ideas so the next time you need them you have them, without the cost of using up your extra RAM and CPU cycles!
> Bard release, it would have made more sense for them to have a more limited release of a better model for PR reasons than what actually happened.

Yes I would agree with you if Google wasn't set on to full on panic mode by their investors about releasing something vs Open AI due to Chat GPT's buzz.

Bard was just a "hey we can do this too" thing, it was released half assed, had next to no marketing or hype.

Vertex AI is their real proper offering, and I want to see how PaLM 2 does in comparison.
> I am old school and I prefer the analog style; however, it is fairly easy to simulate analog instrumentation on a digital display and some manufacturers are doing it very well.

I'm old school as well and although I love the feel of a real indicator, screens can be effectively used as really good output devices if well designed, but touch screens? Just no: they're fragile, slow, and don't give any feedback; if I had to pick one between fully mechanical and fully digital (therefore with touch screen), I'd pick the former without hesitation.
Surveillance -- it's everywhere.
For the record I was born in USSR and never lived in the US. More to the point, my comment was about the USSR-internal discourse and how it was (not) shaped by mathematicians in any meaningful way – not a pronouncement on what good Soviet engineers did abroad or, more largely, on the practical usefulness of mathematics.
As a sandbox, I especially like that there's a dropdown with a huge list of things a website/app can do. Many of them on by default, but I have total control over that. And of course the API for asking.

"Hey this game wants to use your motion controls and USB gamepad." Okay sure.
Don't forget that the important bit in Go is readability of the code. To me the range form is much easier to reason about than this for loop.
My friend had a car that would have needed a guide like this to steal. At one point someone jammed the wrong key into the ignition and messed up the mechanism. He ended up bypassing that and wiring a pushbutton switch into the circuit instead to power the starter motor.
Is there any kind of migration process from TST if I move to Sidebery? I don't want to lose my current tree structures in TST.
cibuildwheel (https://cibuildwheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) makes this fairly straightforward.
The Dallas experiment is interesting, and it’s not surprising at all that the students actually learned more than if they had been in less-advanced classes.

The question I have is what the grades look like for the kids who were somewhat involuntarily included in the class. In junior high, grades don’t matter all that much, but come high school it could be worse to have lower grades in more challenging courses, depending on how hard the GPA hit is.
> Not sure they have adapted. Most of the links on the front page of a search is crap.

That’s by design. They load the results with crap so you click on the ads instead of the result. Ads generate revenue for Alphabet, search _results_ less so.

Simple as.
It's obvious that people would flood Google with generated content. But it's hard to tell if it would kill Google or somehow make Google works better. There's certain dynamics to the game and nobody can say for sure.

As for why it might not make Google worse, just think about YouTube algorithms:

1. One good video is substantially better than hundreds of bad videos, or thousands even.

2. Clickbait works in terms of getting people to click on your video, but if you don't deliver what the clickbait promised people would leave and it would hurt your stats.

3. Generating large amounts of videos may be profitable because it's like collecting peanuts with automation, but that would never reach the mainstream audience like Mr. Beast.

This is because the algorithm promotes videos that are frequently clicked and fully watched. Generated or not, the content must be good enough to be watched through, in order to please the algorithm.

You see, there are a lot of bootleg versions of Stackoverflow, but many of them are terrible. Some of them get ranked because they're still helpful (to the 80% majority of programmers, probably not for the HN elites). We can imagine there would certainly LLM generated versions of those, but very likely with better quality. Generated or not, it's still an arms race to generate more helpful and higher quality content to get traffic.

Also, HN people have been complaining about how the quality of Google degrade over time. It might be Google's fault, but I believe there's another important factor that hurts search engines as a whole - There are too many walled gardens nowadays: Instagram, Discord, and now Twitter, etc. Value information is hiding behind those, which would certainly make search engines less helpful over time.

For example, when I play not very popular video games I wish there are wikis or guides for that. In the old days, I know I can find most of the information in several forums and check the top posts. Now I need to go through Discord and scroll through casual chats and wonder if I missed something.

With LLMs, people would likely be draining that information from walled gardens and compiling them into helpful insights.

Again, there are a lot of dynamics, and it's hard to tell how things would turn out. Maybe it would kill Google and possibly the old Web, maybe it would make the Web great again.
For me it was at a big house in a wealthy suburb, and we talked one on one in the living room. There was no real guidance or explanation other than here is the time and place.

From what I could remember, the alumni interviewer was kind, I just couldn't articulate answers to his questions as I was unprepared and didn't know what to expect. With some insight on the process, I probably could have done better, but it doesn't really matter.

I ended up on a different path and am content with where it lead.

My larger point is that there are many little ways where legacy advantages can leak through even if you have an explicit policy of not considering it.

I think alumni interviews are such a possible mechanism of still factoring in legacy status or making this advantages stand out without it being on the application.
Can you recommend any SMTP relay services? I've been interested in self-hosting for a while, but building reputation to get reliable delivery seems like a full-time job.
This article cites a survey that claims alumni, not admits, all live in the same zip code. The study is also not about MIT.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that good schools have better admission rates to good universities.
Not dealing with Office politics and incompetent or slow management is the main reason I remain a freelancer.
Are you Athabaskan? My friend group also half-jokes about buying land and living as a commune, and one of them is named Josh :)
Could be, but how is that macho in any way?

If anything, it's sound advice. Most of my early day colleagues copy/pasted everything from StackOverflow without understanding any of it, causing huge issues down the line.

They were the classic duct-tape programmers and that didn't help them at all to grow as programmers and even impacted their careers.

Labeling this as "macho" implies that properly understanding your tools is actively bad. Couldn't be further from the truth.
> Children of professors

This is like people claiming that because a higher percentage of children of high earning parents become high earners, that they got an unfair advantage because their parents could pay for them to go to good schools, etc. That might be part of it, but having parents who are intelligent enough and have the attitudes and habits to get a high earning job means that you will most likely be more intelligent than average and have absorbed those attitudes and habits as well.
CLIF is nice but not under public development and not really getting feature improvements. It's direct connection to LLVM is both a very big strength--it gets industrial-grade C++ parsing from a standards-compliant C++ parser--and it's biggest weakness--building and using it requires sticking with its favored version of llvm sources.

All of that works, especially for Google internally, which uses CLIF quite extensively, but that makes it not so great for external projects.
People will get/prefer normal tutors when they can afford, yes. But good high school kids would be able to learn from remote tutors too, and those would be affordable for most families.
The 70B Llama2 model ties in with 173B ChatGPT-0301 model. The GPT-4 still stands unchallenged.
> Art involves technical execution

I think it's a stretch to call Midjourney output art and technical execution. I think it's more "content" and "regurgitation". And most, not all, of what trends on the subreddit is pop culture mashups. It grew because people love Star Wars and Disney and Game of Thrones and so on and so forth.
> half agree with you, but if we're only talking about death and accident prevention it would be worth it to look at other highly developed countries that have much lower accident rates (there are quite a few that have much lower numbers, both per capita and per mile).

We live in an interesting time where it's an instinct to say 'Sure 45k people die each year from this, but how does that benchmark?'

Even if Germany had a 40x higher/lower rate than the US, why does it matter when people are still needlessly dying?
When people who have a history of careful, clueful behaviour do something that surprises you, or something with which you disagree, there's a possibility that they understand something you don't.
If the employee truly doesn't want to put in the effort, then no amount of the employer "wanting them to succeed" (Whatever that means) will make them successful. In office or not.
I prove it by delivering. I've been promoted a number of times.
Nothing can be proven in science- only in math.
They didn't miss the opportunity, it was never offered. Trading partners like the US advised them to stay in the Bloc, which is the same as saying "there's no bilateral deal coming if you leave".

Trade deals are multi-year projects and the terms you can get depends on how much leverage you have. Its noy the kind of thing you jump into after leaving a bigger trade bloc. The UK wasn't going to be able to negotiate anything without the bargaining chip of duty-free access to 500m customers.
We've historically aligned our press review timing to use production units and have reviews go live just before we start shipping the first batch. We'll also have additional pre-production hands ons happening throughout the year.

The parts that are temporarily put on a DIY Edition for system testing are cycled repeatedly within the factory.
Not a kid, but I got a math tutor remotely. 1:1 a lot of the group remote problems go away. And market differences make a huge difference in affordability.
Good that you edited to add in general. I've seen the MIT diving team, who in fairness may have been testing air resistance of various falling bodies.
If you believe numbers coming out of China I have a bridge to sell you.
> I'm not a car person

I think that says enough, the article is quite obviously a humor piece aimed at car people. It's not weird or strange that you didn't get it.
>Twitter now amplifies extremist opinions that make the echo chamber worse

Did the extremists not migrate to Parler/Truth Social?
So what is RedHat being punished for now?
For context,

- E3 tier cost $36/month

- E5 tier cost $57/month

So this is a substantial increase in pricing for this capability. Essentially 2x the cost of E3 tier which include the entire office suite + hosting

Just get rid of GPAs and grading altogether.

If a kid wants to learn algebra, support them. Why does everything have to be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator?
1. The foreign policy decisions made by administrations during the Cold War are no longer implemented anymore. The Cold War is as distant in 2023 as WW2 was in 1980.

The world in 2023 is different from the world in the 1970s which is different from the world in the 1940s.

2. The institutional changes that caused Venezuela's dramatic slide only really began to take hold in the 2000s, and were exacerbated by the global collapse in commodity prices in the 2012-15 period.

3. Plenty of petro-states across South and Central America have in 2023 reached a state of development comparable to eastern members of the EU (ie. In the 0.7 or high development range).

4. GDP per capita is a crummy metric to compare economic development. GDP (and ergo per capita GDP) are metrics to benchmark production, not social development, which are better measured when looking at metrics such as HDI, Life Expectancy, Literacy Rate, Median Income, Childhood Mortality Rate, etc.

Even though Venezuela had a very high GDP per capita in the late 1970s/early 1980s, it was extremely unevenly distributed. In fact, in the time period that Venezeula had the 4th highest GDP per capita, it's Gini Coefficient (the metric for wealth inequality) was 0.500 [0]. This is in line with Angola and Zimbabwe today, and was much worse than other nations across South America.

By that time period, the kind of interventions you saw in Chile, Guatemala, etc were not as vogue, with the Iran-Contra Scandal acting as the final nail in the coffin for any direct clandestine intervention.

Venezuela's problems today are caused by Venezuela's leaders mismanaging the economic dividend in the 2000s and elites on both sides of the aisle in Venezeula working to undermine institutions to their benefit.

AI Metaverse Startup Futureverse Raises $54M
For a different take. Have a look at runme.dev
Yes, you're not sharing, but the deployment requirements are usually quite different for services like that, which makes them better as standalone services regardless of implementation language. For one thing, you usually don't want to run multiple copies of long-running daemon-type services, where for your application servers redundancy is good to have no matter what language you're using.
To clarify: I want both. I only buy laptops with barrel jack and USB-C. The same with mini PCs.

It is OK for travelling. But my portable USB-C monitors randomly switch off for power renegotiation!

USB-C is not so great for stationary use. I always run into issues where all USB ports can not be fully powered, despite sufficient power rating on USB-C adapter. Older Macbooks would even discharge, while plugged, USB-C could not deliver enough juice, for high performance apps!

And those bloody things are supper expensive (like 100 euro). Cheaper are highly questionable and not even grounded!
The Expansion Bay Shell has an open area in the center for additional modules. We shared a preview of one of the modules that we're building, which is a dual M.2 storage carrier.
I think Google or Microsoft probably would want to use LLaMa for various purposes like benchmarking and improving their own products. Check out this other condition from the license:

v. You will not use the Llama Materials or any output or results of the
Llama Materials to improve any other large language model (excluding Llama 2 or
derivative works thereof).

https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/LICENSE

Just like Google scrapes the internet to improve their models, it might make sense to ingest outputs from other models to improve their models. This licensing prevents them from doing that. Using Llama to improve other LLMs is specifically forbidden, but Google will also be forbidden from using Llama to improve any other AI products they might be building.
Dynamic typing via interface{} is also huge Go code smell though, so...

Generics are definitely better for you. But I would say the overall pattern you're employing of bulk inserting different kinds of data structures with one function is the problem. Of course, I don't know your code so I'm sure you have a good reason for choosing what you did, but a BulkInsert of Any certainly made me raise my eyebrow.
I couldn’t believe it when Microsoft started using Wordpress for TechNet, Microsoft Blogs, News Centre etc. That’s almost on par with them shipping WSL and an LF-aware Notepad.

Wordpress has come a long way since I played with it years ago.
Sounds like it also means a few males get all the females, so odds are even worse.
Not being snarky or anything, but do you have easy access to broadband internet where you are, or do you live in a locale that prohibits VPN?

It turned out more effective for me to buy a Chromebook and build a remote workstation to do actual work from, with the added benefit that I don't care if my Chromebook is lost or stolen because it doesn't store any data and costs less than a screen replacement (<$179).

I also wasn't impressed by the highly externalized "there's an adapter for that" dongle-shuffle for basic ports when Apple did it 2017, and if I wanted to bring it all with me, I'd still need to buy and lug around a eGPU if I wanted to do any compute. Plus I get like 14 hours of full-brightness work time off of one charge, similar to an M1 MacBook Air.

That's just my use case, of course. I've also built an SFF system with eDP when I have to travel and generate a lot of data and an Alienware m17 isn't enough.
That's what I meant - didn't see it.
Thx
Uh, generics are not data structures and generics are neither the only way nor the best way to interact with data structures.
It wasn't free between 2014-2017. They changed the law to make it cost about a thousand bucks, then the highest court struck the change down as unlawful.
Your job is to know who is creating value to the company. If the company comes to you and says "Tough times. Need to axe one person. Who is it?" are you going to ask your team?

Your job is to know how the team functions together. What are the skills of your team, who is better at what, who gets on with who, etc. You going to ask them each to write that down too?

I get the value of having them also do it for themselves, but if they write down total bullshit are you going to spot it? Seen that happen. Or if they miss things that you thought were valuable and they didn't? Are you planning on just remembering it six months later?

>I am a lazy manager

You will do well in corporate America or higher education, apparently.
Meta sent me the link for the weights right away after I filled out the form.
I'll chime in with a lesson learned from my own experience in niche POS systems: it can be amazingly valuable (in certain contexts) to let clerks pause sales and put them off to one side (think "git stash", but for sales). Customers wander in and out, run back for one more thing, or put things on hold while they go out to get cash out of an ATM. Letting a clerk wrap up a whole sale with context (some items rung up, payments created but not processed, etc.) and put it on a shelf to restore later is a superpower for POS systems.

And that's not even _starting_ on the nonsense and bizarre home-rolled systems that small businesses concoct around layaways.
"In addition to open-source models, we also compare Llama 2 70B results to closed-source models. As shown in Table 4, Llama 2 70B is close to GPT-3.5 (OpenAI, 2023) on MMLU and GSM8K, but there is a significant gap on coding benchmarks. Llama 2 70B results are on par or better than PaLM (540B) (Chowdhery et al., 2022) on almost all benchmarks. There is still a large gap in performance between Llama 2 70B and GPT-4 and PaLM-2-L."
Firefox had them. In fact, it had them since version 4 [1]. Then Firefox got rid of them again [2]. For no clear reason. And then Chrome copied the idea. And that's just a messed up timeline of events.
