My intent with the sandbox was just to make it easy for folks to quickly hop into the tool and get a sense for what you can do with it, without the friction of needing to go through the full onboarding process and dig up a bunch of numbers to plug in... the idea being that if you want to give it a real try with a more tailored scenario, you'd typically start over and do the normal onboarding flow.

Does that help clarify? And/or do you feel like a different approach for the sandbox would have been better?
Do you know how rooting Android is basically useless nowadays? Most banking and government apps, at least in my country, don't work if Google didn't give the seal of approval for your system. I take it you see as good thing to bring this to the browser as well, because this somehow has to do "personal computer advocacy"? It literally cripples the users' devices.
I’m starting to just feel sad because I’m suspecting serious cognitive decline or mental illness. At this point it’s just watching someone have a crisis.
In the EU there even is a "3D trademark". One famous example is the LEGO mini figure, which LEGO uses to sue anyone that tries to sell any remotely similar LEGO compatible mini figure.
The issue is how you use it. Whether the icon SVG markup is open source isn't very relevant if you're not allowed to use it. If you want to personally mess around with it and not use it in any commercial context, no-one is going to care.
I don’t know if we know. But they have changed the metric they’re measuring publicly to one that is more “accurate” (according to them) and going up quite a bit.

So I’m sure it’s all wine & roses and they’ll be profitable any day.

Absolutely but there are cases where doing that is not practical. For instance machine learning training tasks that can take a long time to converge (months even). There are good arguments that long running tasks should not be in a notebook but they often find themselves in notebooks regardless especially in the ML domain.

Sorry forgot that aspect of the master plan: increase “engagement”, raise server costs, and cut revenue in half at the exact same time to prove once and for all that traffic as a universal measure of site value is an entirely corrupt idea that should be abandoned to focus on actual revenue.

> society is largely set up to favor neurotypicals at the expense of those with ADHD.

As someone with diagnosed ADHD, I think this misrepresents ADHD. There's no form of society in which ADHD is an advantage; in a hunter-gatherer society, my tent would still be untidy and I'd still procrastinate fixing my spear before the hunt until the day before, and I'd still lose focus during the hunt and miss the deer walking past, because I was watching ants move sticks around.

ADHD is a disability, not a difference of ability. It's not very enjoyable for me to accept as I'm reasonably bright, but I'm mentally disabled in a way that someone of equivalent intelligence without ADHD is not. They can more easily achieve what they want in life than I can. I don't think there's any task in which someone with ADHD is more suited to than someone without; there are tasks which are less difficult for the person with ADHD than other tasks, but ADHD doesn't bestow many, if any, advantages over a neurotypical person.

There was a recent brief blog post[1] on this from Scott Alexander, if you're curious to read more, but I've come to the same conclusion independently.

“There is a tension between utility for anti-fraud use cases requiring deterministic verdicts and high coverage, and the risk of websites using this functionality to exclude specific attesters or non-attestable browsers. We look forward to discussion on this topic, and acknowledge the significant value-add even in the case where verdicts are not deterministically available (e.g. holdouts).”

This sounds like a great fit for Cerebras, if they can set up the text database front end.

They could host the text database for free, and then offer a "oh look, you can train llama on this text right now for cheaper than a Nvidia box" button on every listing.

Then charge through the nose for private business training (kinds like they do now, but charging more.)

That's how I read the proposal too.

One key difference to Captchas is that since this new system requires no user input, the "cost" of a website requesting attestation is a lot smaller. So it will probably be used more widely.
No, they aren't, and your source doesn't say they are. This is your source's description of the type of trademark that Meta has on X (AN ILLUSTRATION DRAWING WITH WORD(S) /LETTER(S)/ NUMBER(S) INSTYLIZED FORM):

> This Type is similar to “STANDARD CHARACTER MARK” in that it can only include words or phrases, and not images, however it does include a claim as to the particular stylization (font) and may, but do not have to, claim color. For example, the trademark “NETFLIX” written in stylized red font.

Edit: The source below is a bit more clear on the differences.

You are ascribing an absurdly maximalist viewpoint to me, one that would be obviously wrong at its face.

I know it's not so confusing as to get that sort of interpretation, because of the score on the comment, and comments like the above that explain to you how this happens.

As a result, I don't feel comfortable providing more detail publicly about my situation. That far off the mark tends to indicate an aggressive rather than curious interlocutor.

I am comfortable building on their example. The particulars of the issue are quite similar in a very helpful way.

I did the investigation, did a fix, worked it up to my manager and my managers manager. Elated, we work diligently for a couple weeks to document concisely, 3 page tech doc, briefest code deltas possible, one page + slides withs simple diagrams.

It gets bogged down at managers managers coleads submanager for the platform team implicated. They basically say "reading the single byte at a time means its provably serial and thus has no concurrency bugs.", as indicated in my original comment.
I personally don't see a future where common users will ever have to know the phrase "fine-tuning" or worry about it. The most I can see is "Do you consent to share your information with Apple/Meta/X/Microsoft/OpenAI's knowledge engine?" and if you agree, everything they have on you will power an extremely powerful all-encompassing knowledge engine. Probably with some daily recommendations to integrate a new domain into it, like, "We noticed you're into Lord of the Rings, so we went ahead and made your knowledge engine familiar with the collected works of Tolkein, all historical academic and modern interpretations and criticisms, transcripts of the movies, and generative AI fan fiction capabilities."
First they’d need to still work there, and second he’d need to listen to them. Good luck!
> It's funny that it's "always" mentioned, yet it's not familiar to me. Also curious the Wikipedia article for CPU design doesn't mention it, since it's "always" referenced.

you're not going to convince others that microcode is some kind of foreign concept to CPUs just because you yourself were unfamiliar.

Yes, it can be a downer to discover that you're more naive in a subject than you had previously thought you were more familiar.

>Also curious the Wikipedia article for CPU design doesn't mention it, since it's "always" referenced.

microcode is something that is implemented by CPUs that are too big and expensive to replace -- it's not something that is fundamental to processor designs. It's something we now live with to prevent things like the 'pentium bug' from costing Intel many-many dollars after a consumer-products forced recall/replacement.

At this point in history I think that if someone wants to consider themselves to be well-versed or knowledgeable about consumer CPUs then learning about microcode is a hard requirement. It's a false metaphor now to consider a CPU to be an unchanging entity, and that's important to at least be aware of -- it's literally one of the only ways that t

Since wikipedia is the source du joure, here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcode

p.s. : I think it's a strange as you that the processor wiki page doesn't at least mention microcode, I guess they're trying to keep it 'pure'.
Brine is the one word term to replace that sentence defining desalination byproduct...

Thanks for the kind words! Your comment made my day. I used to get a kick out of the fold-ins too, and I feel lucky that we live in the Internet Age where I can bet that any idea I have (CSS MAD fold-in) has likely been done better than I'd be able to.
Amazon and Uber do physical goods. They changed who did things, but didn't change that much of the things being done. Take over the office work, a lot of humans have nothing to do, I think. Is there the equivalent of warehouse order picker or delivery driver left over if your straightforward knowledge worker (medical coder, claims adjuster, call center rep, etc.) work goes away? How close are we to discovering the fascinating new jobs that are predicted to open up from this?
And it's probably already in TextGen and better UIs for serious stuff than yet another Jupyter notebook.
Sorry to ask, but I was thinking about making some procedures for infrastructure operators using jupyter notebooks.

Something like start one VM, do some Linux or networking stuff, etc.

Maybe it's not what they are intended for, but they sure look nicer than an ansible playbook.

So do you think I can share a notebook with operators that can be run but not modified?
There are conflicting "requirements" for the web it seems. We want freedom and anonymity but not too much because bots and because we want to use the web to buy things but not too little because dissidents, but not too much because pedos and terrorists...you get the idea.
True, but apparently OLEDs get close. Haven't seen them in action though.

BTW, I have a color vector machine called Space Duel. Kind of like a 3D color version of Asteroids with an amazing two player co-op mode that has two ships joined together with a short line segment. Each player can rotate and thrust separately. Where the pair of ships goes is the sum of where each ship is trying to go. Just so happens that Space Duel is convertible to Major Havoc as well.
Pretty sure that's the main goal.
Yeah, now that you mention it I suspect that the mechanical stress upon a system that lifts dirt (as opposed to one that pumps water) would result in expensive routine maintenance, and possibly even catastrophe (i.e. the chain breaks).

Even if they don't, a lot of websites are just breaking on Firefox. The development community decided they want a Chrome monoculture.
It would be hard to say if either of the two completely crap models is more or less crap though. Maybe by repeating it and seeing consistent results despite changing other variables I guess?
Went to sign up for the free trial, and noticed you use that super cool dark pattern where it doesn't cost me anything today, but after a week you'll charge me $592 unless I remember to cancel the trial. No, thank you. Seems like an interesting product, and I'd love to see if it makes my life easier, but what the heck is with automatically charging trial members for a lifetime membership after a week?
So? That means nothing as to the quality or even topic of their blog content.

Unless blogs started receiving peer review while I wasn't paying attention, there's likely a reason any given content lives there and not in an academic paper.
With say system architecture, you can muse on stuff like "well if Kubernetes made this decision, it would definitely be more secure" or "it would scale up quicker" without empirical evidence and other people could argue "yes I agree because" or "no I don't because"... etc.

With large ML models, there probably is no intuition like this. We just don't know "if I do the common sense thing X, it surely will produce better results for a given benchmark" ... well we have no idea until it is tried out.
Call BS all you want, I don't care. I know what I witnessed. I don't know if the mainframes were owned are leased, but they were swapped out for new ones every few years.
In philosophy papers you see authors often use the pronoun "I", similar to blog posts. But they have other ways to make them hard to parse for outsiders.

Wait - how does he simultaneously bid on a site with "no revenue" and then "kill 50% of it." If the revenue was meaningless then killing half of it shouldn't matter. If it wasn't meaningless then the "no revenue" comment makes no sense. Which is it?
Yes, just like you can still use Android phones that don't pass SafetyNet. But good luck doing anything useful with them.
My grandpa lived in Berlin in the 20s but I'm sure he was too square to participate in something cool like this. When he was in his 80s, though, he was a early adopter of "Bildschirmtext".

I’m not sure if they mean he can do them in his head or not because the other part of that statement seems to imply so. Regardless, this definitely shows that he isn’t just the “money man”.
PG&E make about $16 BILLION in profit each year. [1]

Just like healthcare and higher education, the reason it costs so much in the US is because they're all for profit, and maximizing profit is the goal.

Or, it seems, any tweet that talks about gaming. It'd be funny if gaming companies and publications had to be removed from Twitter because of this trademark issue. Or if a Microsoft game studio tweeted about a game and it'd be a basis for a Microsoft trademark lawsuit against Twitter:

A similar sort of trademark fight:

> In 1978, Apple Corps, the Beatles-founded holding company and owner of their record label, Apple Records, filed a lawsuit against Apple Computer for trademark infringement. The suit was settled in 1981 with an undisclosed amount being paid to Apple Corps. [...] As a condition of the settlement, Apple Computer agreed not to enter the music business, and Apple Corps agreed not to enter the computer business.

Probably but only because musk removed actual moderation tools and now spends 24x7 furiously refreshing the timeline to manually permaban anyone not sucking up to him.
I think a lot of users will realize that the support timeline was the killer feature and not the bug for bug compatibility.

Unpopular opinion, but if you're running the kind of software that relies on RHEL bug for bug compatibility, you should probably just pay for RHEL.

You are reading some of the more ambiguous self-deprecation as genuine claims.

TL;DR on why this is important and he's sharing: it's a sort of niche thing that really only matters if you're trying to run pale imitations of ChatGPT on constrained hardware. That's why it's entirely possible the big guns didn't see it as important, they're not trying to run LLMs on a 3090

Whereas vanilla scaled dot-product attention forces outputs to fall in the convex hull of V, your proposal allows them to drift into the convex hull of V+{0}. It's pretty unlikely that the origin is already contained in the convex hull of V especially for long inputs, so your proposal genuinely changes the quality of outputs.

When Microsoft did this with IE, they did it with proprietary and undocumented APIs. The fact that this is an open spec, discussed in an open forum, using well established and standard technologies is what ensures it can never be positioned against users in any meaningful way.

To me it looks like SGX for the web. Maybe it will introduce some neat and weird capabilities, but at the end of the day, it will be trivial to bypass at scale if it ever positions itself as being harmful to users.
Nor does it needs to. Safety is better than performance anyway
Testing steps (based on thinking about this for 30 seconds - so probably can be improved):

Train a Transformer based model with and without the modified Softmax (Suggestions: GPT-2 or nanoGPT)

Measure performance - I'd probably start with Perplexity and see if there is any difference (we'd expect little difference).

Quantize both models with different quantization strategies.

Measure the perplexity of the quantized models of different sizes. We'd expect the performance to drop off quicker for the non-modified model than the modified one if this is working.

All the biases in LLMs are not in the NN but in the training data sets. So if you want the LLMs to be non biased, you need to curate the datasets which you are feeding into them. LLMs are biased in regard of religions for example too. They are biased in a way the majority of the internet audience is biased. This things have to be fought in the training data sets, not with the tuning afterwards ...
Meta and Microsoft may have registered those trademarks but I haven't seen them using them, so they might struggle to actually defend them in court against someone who is very clearly actually using "X".

Honestly Apple probably has the best shot, as they do use "X" prominently. Mac OS X, iPhone X, etc.
I have no idea of the legalities of this. Personally, I feel the rebrand of Twitter to X was a pretty dumb move.

However like most discourse nowadays, I can't trust a single take on any of this. It's all predictably far more political than fact-based in a sort of self-fulfilling, postmodern, prophesy.

Digg was utterly destroyed by this. Then Reddit, which has not died, but is utterly captured and zombified. HackerNews is the last bastion of this - and it is certainly the best, but is clearly being Digg/Reddit'fied.

Whatever this ideological capture cancer zombification is - it's cancer. If you are reading this, recognize it is probably happening to you too. Seems inevitable.

Certainly nobody can deny Elon is solving for the problem of Twitter being a company.
I prefer to measure in fortnightly active users per hogshead.

But if you're a bit less fussy about the exact metric, Pew Research has some data on the topic:

> "A majority of Americans who have used Twitter in the past year report taking a break from the platform during that time, and a quarter say they are not likely to use it a year from now, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted about five months after billionaire Elon Musk acquired the site." -- https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/05/17/majority-...

> "The majority of highly active Twitter users continue to use the site following Musk’s takeover but are posting less frequently on average." -- https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/05/17/how-us-ad...
Is Meta using the trademark "X" for social media though? I haven't seen it. They're not gonna win anything if they're not actually using it. That's like the first and most important thing.
I do not know how that is done in Windows, but in Linux it is possible to reserve some cores to be used only for the threads that you assign to them and for no other threads.

This is done frequently for high-performance applications.
