There was a post yesterday about a 500 line single-file C implmenetation of llama2 with no dependencies. The llama2 architecture is hard coded. It shouldn't be too hard to port to python.

Found the repo, couldn't easily find the HN thread.

I've found political agendas to be much more of an aggressive nature, liberals, conservatives, vegans, they tend to push a lot more than your religious folk. In fact I've found most religious folk to have a sense of reservation and wisdom that understands not everyone will see the same way.

I guess there's variance like any other thing.

You'd think it's a correlation rather than causation but the research looking into it finds it to be probabilistically much more than a correlation, especially concerning the fact that individuals have been shown to be unaware of the nature of their name and their career path. It's an interesting study.

It has a lot more to do with the surname or what acts as the surname, as various cultures have it in different places.
> All nations are incentivized to race ahead with AI

But what's happening, to all appearances, is that it isn't "nations" driving this. It's commerce and the investor class.

If AI development were de facto restricted to, e.g., the US Military and the Chinese military, that would slow everything down by years -- perhaps even longer than that -- and the most disruptive effects might never become manifest.

I'll grant that AI research probably cannot be stopped at this point. But with Altman agitating for "regulations" it should really be apparent that the best form of regulation in this case is the ultimate one: A total ban on above-ground AI development.
ISPs will not be letting that traffic through. So no little romantic underground. No cycle; the internet is happening just once, and we're in it. The assumption that everything is necessarily part of a little epicycle of history somehow mashes together Whig history and and an inert nihilism. Don't worry, nothing matters?

We're not in a movie. When they close the open internet, there will be no reason for them to open it back up. Everybody's Playstation will still work. Facebook will still work. Twitter will still work, but it will be all blue checks.

In the future they may not even sell general purpose computers to the public that can access the internet. The network will kick them off as unsigned machines. Maybe they won't let anything on the internet that is capable of running illegal or unlicensed encryption.

The open systems will have to be physical places where we go meet each other, and don't bring our phones. Of course, they could make you carry your ID in your phone (for a few years, there'd just be a $100 charge for a physical ID until they eventually just phased them out), or make you carry cash in your phone, so how could you meet up in person if they didn't want you to?

If we're writing stories.
There is something about successful men who get away with giving the finger to the woke crowd that _really_ tick people off.
I agree that it would be almost impossible to defend this kind of business, especially if you stayed committed to open-source datasets. It would come down to the UX and the community if you hoped to survive. Probably long-term you would either have to get into your own pre-trained models, fight the commodity hosting business or aim to get acquired.
I love when vegan studies always say that cows use X amount of water but their calculations never factor in that it rains.

I'd prefer when seeing these articles that the author talks about which land mass or eco system they are talking about.

Australia has hundreds of thousands of acres of land where the animals roam in self sustainable set ups.

Ripping up these ecosystems to grow nuts and beans would be "worse" for the environment.
Let's unpack.

My original reply was to a comment saying Musk is just a money bag. The second comment I replied to was saying that Elon "giving himself" the Chief Engineer title doesn't change anything, effectively carrying over the original claim.

"Chief/Lead Engineer" I guess this can mean a lot of different things. Reason I put "giving himself" to quotes, is because I've been in a situation in a few companies where titles weren't really much of a thing but if someone naturally ended up being in a leading role they would start to be called with such a title.

Given that Elon likes to be hands-on, obviously has a lot of agency, is motivated, and works long hours while shuttling around in his jet every few days (you can hear him saying summaries of his % time used by whichever company in many interviews), I really don't see it impossible that he's grown to the shoes being discussed. I haven't heard anyone saying he's the lead engineer at multiple companies at the same time, though he probably has had periods of putting a lot more time to a specific company, like with Tesla during the over-automation production hell.

I think this comes down to subjectivity and personal experience of what the title pertains. My experience as a Lead Engineer in software has come naturally as I have developed base of tech before others joined and cared for it, including reading most of other people's commits while working 1.5-2x the hours of others. This is in smaller companies. Probably in a bigger company, person with the title would use 70% of their time doing code review and attending meetings, working in a more tiered structure and being less hands-on.

Can I ask why you think the Everyday Astronaut's interview (series) _specifically_ makes Musk incompatible with the "Lead Engineer" title?
So meditation is just one small piece of what is ultimately mindfulness. But meditation is not necessarily the answer. For example, it's completely possible to meditate mindlessly.

Mindfulness can sound esoteric (and it certainly feels esoteric once you engage in that lifestyle), but ultimately it's about being present with every single moment, and taking the time to notice everything that's happening both within and around you.

Now, there are many different ways and techniques for you to do this. A really popular way is to literally slow down what you're doing and really observe the movement and sensation within your body.

In terms of maintaining mindfulness, a practical way to achieve this is to evaluate your day based on how mindful you were. I think where a lot of people go wrong, is they continue to evaluate themselves based on what they achieved or what happened during the day. As long as your focus is in that area, it because almost impossible to maintain mindfulness as a state of mind.
I was once a naive man. I used to listen to someone talk, and feel super "connected" with them. I would be convince beyond any doubt, that they were so brilliant, benevolent and genuine.

It was Sam Altman that taught me that it doesn't matter who you are, or what you say. It is what you do that defines you.
Actually on Zen 4 using 512-bit instructions instead of 256-bit instructions frequently improves the performance a lot, despite using the same execution units.

The reason is that in Zen 4 the relatively narrow instruction decoder is frequently the bottleneck, so twice less instructions can influence the speed very much.

On future CPUs that will be able to decode more instructions in parallel, like Zen 5 and the future Intel CPUs, 512-bit instructions might no longer increase the speed when the width of the execution units remains of 256 bits, so perhaps even AMD may introduce a split between laptop CPUs that implement only the 256-bit subset of AVX-512 rebranded AVX10 and server CPUs that implement the full AVX-512 a.k.a. AVX10.

I don't personally see that. What you're saying to me, feels like an interpretation of what you think mindfulness is.

Which is perfectly valid, it's just I've never personally associated mindfulness with any of the things you describe.
I just watched the latest Mission Impossible and it’s quite possible that an AI would do a better job than what I witnessed. Movies like that are ripe for AI and will probably still make money, but I am saddened by AI likely increasing the trend of similar unoriginal content.

Resignation that my taste for original content is not shared by the average movie consumer is humbling.

Beyond Israel specifically, it feels like religion (in the context of governance) is a boat anchor that fights against the successful, doing well, tolerant, permissive parts of society. It constantly is a source of decoupled, easy-to-antagonize/coerce, simple popularism, that often acts against it's own & the broader self-interest.

I'd just love to see a religious state that can act liberally & broadly.
If you take the inner product between a lot of more or less random vectors (the key and query vectors in attention) most values are going to be close to 0. This means they contribute by e^0 to the denominator. Now, if you have a context length of say 2000, your denominator is already ~ 2000. Increasing it to 2001 doesn't really make a difference.

Adding 1 to the denominator can be useful if you have softmax with just a few options. Not in self-attention where you have thousands.
That's actually a good question. Assuming need for energy storage, what would be more efficient? An insulated heat-capacitor (eg: a bunch of pans full of ice) inside the AC to be used when energy is in short supply, or a battery?
I'm not the person you were responding with you, and I completely agree with you, but I think there is a more charitable reading of that statement which I also think is true.

There is no form of society in which ADHD is an advantage. But I think there are forms of society in which ADHD is less of a disadvantage. Another way of putting it is that ADHD is inherently a disability on it's own, but there are ways that a lot of our society is set up that exacerbate those problems. Just as there are ways to improve accessibility in spaces for those with physical disabilities, and that doesn't stop them from being disabilities, there are also ways that there could be cultural shifts and choices made to improve accessibility for those with ADHD.
One of our cats died of squamous cell. Nasty stuff.

With her, because the cancer occurred in her throat, the tumor was growing quickly enough to block her ability to eat or drink anything.

We only found out after seeing blood in her wet food and wondering why she stopped playing with us and hid more often.

I made the call to euthanize her because that was better than seeing her slowly die every day. It was a terrible day, and I still miss her.

> In all seriousness, if practical AI development is potentially an extinction-level risk, it should simply cease.

In all seriousness, it isn't, at least not in a way that's different from the risks of general purpose computing.

Social media (anything that let's humanity interact at a scale we aren't prepared for), biological (disease) research, nuclear weapons, inadequate asteroid and tsunami preparedness, etc are actual risks, it's ridiculous and dangerous to put computers in the same category, this is a manufactured panic to sell chatbots.
Yes, there is a huge space for improvements there, besides sup-par speed, strange filtering and ordering, unintuitive focus management … but at least it is there and has chance to evolve. I'm quite convinced, that even five seconds delay of (each) command palette invocation is most of the times better than mindlessly sifting through menus and keyboard settings. And as always, the "happy path" is to to use it just once and memorise the direct shortcut of desired command, so next time there will be not use for the palette.
It just fails basic logic, I seriously don’t understand on any level.

While I have no doubt tree-sitter is technically superior for the specific task of syntax highlighting, Shiki has some other appealing qualities:

- Built in support for TextMate themes (and therefore also themes for VSCode, probably Sublime as well)

- Shiki Twoslash[1], which supports a variety of really cool features for highlighting subsections of code, static types and type errors, module relationships

> Actually running zlib on every request will only make it worse.

I wouldn't be so sure, given that without zlib HTTP connections take longer, thereby increasing the size of the wait queue and the number of parallel connections.
I think my underlying thesis probably renders to something like:

The idea that people in the past had personalities that valued the pursuit of perfection more-highly than now is often assumed, but seldom is good evidence given to support it. In many cases it may be explained by survivorship-bias or by applying inaccurate modern assumptions about the relative costs of different materials/labor and the prestige/rarity of events.

> Anyways, over a decade back, I was watching a recording of a musical artist from either the 70s or 80s, and was surprised at the quality

Example "humans weren't fundamentally different" hypothesis: When it is more expensive to make multiple attempts, people invest more effort into making sure they do very good attempts, in order to avoid the downside risk. This does not mean they would not have gladly chosen an average-result if dramatically lower production costs were possible. Therefore the difference does not stem from a change in mentality, but from economic factors.

It's kind of like looking at airplanes of the 1950s, with beds and champagne and caviar, and ruefully comparing them to the ones of the 2020s.

Is it because airlines became greedier? Did the average passenger (in the same income-bracket) lose their desire for fine things? Nah: It's probably because once you remember to adjust for inflation, those 1950s passengers were paying $7,300 per flight instead of today's $600.

I agree that it lessens their control to use a derivative but it is still some control. I agree that these are far better than Chrome, but still less of an impact than a fully independent browser.
They don't even have to do that. In five or ten years your browser will be bitrotted and unable to read tons of webpages, since you'll be stuck on the version before Firefox completely capitulated and called the users who complained about it "childish bullies."

Sure, but I'll bet you that in a year or two a number of other websites with a differently styled X logo are going to get letters threatening them for having "confusingly similar" stylized X logos. Heck, "the same sequence of characters in a differently stylized font" is an example of something that fails the likelihood of confusion test on the USPTO website: https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search/likelihood-confusion

But then we get into the "relatedness of goods and services" test. What is X trademarking here? Well, according to the application, it covers everything in the mother of all run on sentences, including "Computer software for...displaying...video."

So, then, is this logo likely to be confused with any other website that displays videos and has an X for a logo? Because there are a whole bunch of (mostly porn) websites that would seem to be covered.

But for what it's worth, trademark seems to be a very nuanced and fact-specific area of law, and I'm a layman looking at USPTO websites, so I'm entirely out of my element here and somebody can hopefully correct me.
Better yet, compare

It's great to see this getting more attention. User-agent discrimination (i.e. "go away if you're not using the latest version of Chrome") needs to become illegal. As long as I'm not overloading your service or similar, what hardware or software I use must not be restricted. The same goes for other deliberate obstacles to accessibility and interoperability --- creating a "standard" that's so complex and churned frequently enough that only Google can implement it and keep up with changes, and then spreading propaganda to encourage all sites to essentially become Chrome-only regardless of their actual utility, is something that needs to be stopped.

I recommend finding everyone responsible for this and exercising your right to free speech on them. It works for politicians, and it should work on this other flavour of bastard too.
