What I don't understand is why they want to call it the same thing and try and position it as a remake by abandoning the things that made it the thing. Of course people get angry when you stomp on their memories.

How difficult would it be to just use the core plot element and make a different story around it. This happens all the time this is what most movies are there's only maybe a dozen core plot elements and just different ways of telling that story. You can go full on Jupiter Ascending (but please get better writers) which is obviously the Cinderella story, but there was no hate for it because it stomped on people's memories of Cinderella. People hate it for other reasons of which were understandable.

My subjective opinion is that it is an experience unlike any other mode of transportation. Once you become capable your brain almost tunes it out and you feel like you're flying.

This feeling may be different for other people, but for me it is the most fun mode of transport ever, and I have tried the majority of them.

They didn't lend him money, they kept the stake they had before he bought twitter, both the Qatari and the saudi. Also I'm not sure why they would want it gone after the arab spring, given how the Persians only benefited from it and Qatar was pretty much a state instigator of it in other countries.

Just width if that makes sense. Basically, you add another encoder model but you are not actually increasing the depth that much.

Yes, it makes sense to apply this only to the Softmax we use to compute attention. It makes no sense to apply it to the output Softmax, which must compute a probability distribution over the vocabulary.

You think iPhones are out of reach to poor Americans? Or that richer Americans don’t predominantly use iPhones?

I think I agree with your point about who’s consuming positional goods, but… iPhones are a weird entry in your list of luxury goods.
Interesting read. As others have said, it will be much more convincing with some experimental numbers.

I'm confused what his goal is though:

I could imagine some theoretical reason to add a 1 there, but he starts by saying this can lead to smaller, more compactable models. Is he talking about the size the compressed weights? or pruning to a smaller model? or resistant more quantization?

Parts of the essay seemed to throw me off track, because I'm not sure if they are relevant at all to the proposal (eg the of the initial embedding and how many bits it would take the store the vocab size, etc).

If I'm understanding Apple's documentation correctly it seems like the app would automatically shutdown every single time you move to a new location. If this is the case then it would make for terrible UX having to reboot constantly just to get a full scan of the house as you envision.
I use the x86 version on an old low-power celeron-based Dell Micro as a print server that sits alongside my laser printer. It's great. Enjoyable TUI interface for setup. Also makes for a nice underlying OS for pi-hole setups.

Tesla stock is still vastly overvalued. That's not to say it's worthless but I see it going below other car companies as they start converting over to EVs.

When rendered as an image, they don't differ; you'd have to inline the SVG DOM in your HTML to make a difference. And yes, then you can have screen readers reading the text, ARIA attributes to better describe certain parts, etc.

That being said, SVG is likely still a better option than PNG for its scalability alone. At least for this kind of content.
> their dev tools are dogshit

I agree with you except for this. Microsoft has, since the '90s, always had top-tier dev tools. They're a different ecosystem than unixy development, and hence incompatible and unfamiliar with a different user experience. Linux's dominance in the server environment has caused it to gather developer mindshare in the last 20 years and so there are many developers who prefer the Linux tooling ecosystem. And yes, Microsoft is trying to (and succeeding at) keep them in Windows with WSL. I expect to see them use the 'extend' playbook to trap them on the platform (if they haven't already, I'm not following very closely).
I definitely feel the "frugality has no chill" attitude. I describe it, charitably, as being an extremely content person. The downside is that there are plenty of things that I could point at that would make my life somewhat better ( replacing my 30 year old Honda with a Tesla or something would definitely save me time on maintenance, for example). The upside is that when something does pass my high bar of "willing to spend money on it", I rarely have to worry about being able to afford it.
I think this is just an unusual attempt to formulate their guesses more precisely without relying on linguistics. You could see it as somewhat earnest, as in they can be shown to wrong to a certain extent, and can't try to weasel out of their specific claims. In this kind of meta study without a quantitative result, I think it conveys the intention rather well.
So it's not econ 101. That's what makes it interesting and noteworthy?
What's the point of this? Twitter (in the sense of being the service that everyone is used to) is dead or nearly so anyway.

>Microsoft actually stopped development of IE, saying the job was done

Despite being a technology enthusiast who was paying attention at the time and who heard this when it happened in various discussions and articles, now some twenty years later this is hard to source!

This is one account:

Mozilla lists it as such on their timeline (May 31, 2003):

Microsoft Drops the Ball with Internet Explorer:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050506233847/http://www.window...

So it wasn't that users refused to upgrade their installations of IE, it's that Microsoft insisted for a long while there would be no IE releases past version six, since it was now a part of the operating system and the team they had had had been disbanded to work on other parts of Windows and Office by that point. It was only when enough bugs were seriously impacting Windows and the emergence of Firefox and Safari that they started taking serious aim at fixing those bugs and releasing later versions of IE, seven and so on..
They seem to be using two different percentages which is confusing. More details can be found in "Highly efficient bifacial single-junction perovskite solar cells"[0]

Of the new panels; the front is 23% efficient and the back side is 20% efficient (see also: "an efficiency of about 91-93% of the front") so overall you collect 43%, vastly more than 26% ("current solar cell technologies") or even 30% (silicon-perovskite solar cells in lab conditions) of the available power.

It isn’t this, it takes about a minute to train after a bios update or when I enable XMP but never trains after that. It just takes like 20-30 seconds to get all the way to the bios splash screen and only 5 seconds to return from sleep so I just use sleep instead of turning it off. Then the only time I need to wait through a boot is for windows updates.
Ever heard of first impressions? Not everybody is going to spend time tweaking some invisible algorithm. If it doesn't show them what they're looking for, why should they stick around? It's not like people sign up to Tiktok to keep in touch with friends.

Somebody new to YouTube is going to think there's nothing on it besides Mr Beast, iPhone reviews and culture war nonsense, because that's what the front page shows to a signed out user. I imagine Tiktok is similar.
So it sounds like (among other things) they're adding 3-address integer instructions to an instruction encoding only used for vector instructions today.

Anything you feel the tool is missing that might make it more compelling?

Personally I use it more on a monthly or even quarterly basis to consider new decisions, update stuff, etc. That fits with the usage pattern I initially imagined for a long-term planning app, but I'm always open to other ideas.

P.S. I started working on PL in 2021, so we're not quite in "every few years" territory yet ;)
One thing I'd like to see is a better way to estimate the cost of kids, and specifically per-child. If I could just click a button and have the average cost for a child for my country added from a certain year, that would be awesome.
Also from Norway. Haven't paid cash in ~10 years. I have no idea how the new currency looks like. I lost my wallet at some point, and just never replaced it. I pay with my Garmin watch (or phone once in a while). My driver's license is an app.
I actually miss going in. But do not miss long commute. And do not like the poor selection of local employers. And will not be moving for them at this stage in my life -- I already did that in my 20s -- so have to make do with remote.

But, I question any of the (esp local) employers now who are strictly hybrid or in-office only, because it tells me that -- among other reasons -- they're fine restricting their talent pool to what's in their immediate surroundings. That's fine in maybe a handful of locales where strong talent has traditionally congregated (Bay Area, maybe New York, London, a few places in Europe?). And so you have to ask the reason why?

It's gotta be one of: work doesn't call for special talent (so likely not interesting, and I likely don't want to work there). Or work doesn't pay competitive (so I don't want to work there). Or they feel they need to be looking over the shoulder of their staff (I likely don't want to work there.)

So a bit of an acid test, really.
Though reading is more efficient, perhaps they just have more time to listen to audiobooks to the point it is more total information gathered. Multi-tasking for the win!
Surprised that there is no mention of South Korea in this article. The so called "Chinese model of capitalism" is directly based on the public-private partnerships model targeting LDCs South Korea and Taiwan both leveraged, which in turn was largely based on the Singapore model, as LKY advised Chinese premiers from Deng Xiaoping onwards. That said, this is a magazine published by the Berggruen Institute, who are a bit weird to say the least.
This is really interesting, thanks for posting it here!

On the one hand, this denies Google the metadata from your connectivity check.

On the other hand, using your own site uniquely identifies you on each network (negating the privacy improvements through random MAC addresses and such).

I would much rather use a site I can trust. Mozilla offers a 204 service for Firefox, for example, that's a lot less obvious for trackers.

You could also try to confuse the system by using iOS' 204 URL for your Android devices.
Definitely with the intermissions. But I really mean that I often like to stop a long movie, think about it awhile, and then come back to it later. This is how short TV series work, for example. This is also how books work, by their nature. It's a kind of "intellectual digestion" - an intermission is good, but a night's sleep is even better.

The designers leave themselves an ability to override any instruction using the microcode so they can patch any instruction. They don't use the microcode only to implement complex instructions that require loops.
I feel like I’m in the minority but I honestly couldn’t care less about the logo, the name or if Twitter will still exist for another 10 or 20 years. Nothing lasts in life. With or without Musk Twitter would have died of some reason or another eventually. It’s only a stupid app, it’s not important. If someone feels it’s very important to them then they have a problem in life which is not Musk. I didn’t even sign up to Mastodon, Bluesky or Threads. Twitter is interesting at times but I won’t cry if it’s gone.

> My guess on effective tax rate is it was likely including property taxes. Adding those to the numerator during retirement when taxable income is usually lower could drive up that number.

That's possible. I didn't fill anything related to property taxes, so it was probably implied? With CA proposition 13 (which caps the property tax increase), the property tax on rentals will be low compared to property value when you've owned the property for decades (as would be the case when you're in retirement.)
I don't believe at all that normal human sexual behaviour is for men and women to pair off into happy monogamous married couples. A lot of women would prefer having part of a great man than all of a mediocre one. Additionally, a lot of women would rather keep to themselves rather than date anybody. Whereas men are pretty much always down for at least a sexual relationship and trend towards a higher sex drive. So you end up with a discrepancy, at least when it comes to sexual relationships.

In the past mediocre men might have been more easily been able to get into relationships on the promise of becoming a provider and maybe a stepfather, but it's a literal social goal of society to undermine that as much as possible so women don't have to be dependant on such relationships and tolerate such men and any of their misbehaviour. That's great for women, and the men can use AIs.

Was this a joke? The mega sentence would seem to be perfect example of your point.
I guess yeah I was mostly responding to

Now it’s possible that softmax should be replaced wholesale, but it’s worked pretty well for the most part, except for this one wee little bug that prevents attention heads from saying nothing. So I propose a very small tweak on which I am willing to stake all future Internet claims to being correct. The tweak is so small, yet so obvious, and it’s been sitting here under everyone’s noses ever since attention was invented (2014).

I didn't test for outliers, but I don't think this will lead to a large improvement in attention overall/it will fix a lurking bug.
Yeah, I have talked to some people who work there and as far as I can tell they seem like a pretty legit company.

The problem I have with both of these ideas is that "Build the ship and get there" is the easy part. We don't know how to keep people alive and healthy for a lifetime in an environment we construct from nothing. We don't understand our own microbiome, our response to higher levels of incident radiation, how we adapt to microgravity over decades... none of it. We don't know how to make a colony anywhere other than Earth self-sufficient, and without *total* self-sufficiency there is no backup of Earth, it's just... a colony that requires links to the homeland.

These are all genuinely hard problems to solve, probably ones involving generations of experimentation and sacrifice. By contrast slightly accelerating a big rock so that it just misses the one place in the universe we can live... is cheap and easy.
I'm surprised no one here has mentioned mindfulness (is briefly mentioned in the article).

It pretty much solves this problem.

But I guess that's part of the issue, is that the problem directly obfuscates the solution, so the problem remains prevalent.

That's a pretty ridiculous notion to pit illegal content such as death threats and real libel with free speech. No one of any significance on the right who advocates for free speech believes in that and it's just a cheap trick / wordsplay.

>The fact that the word CIS gender is considered hate speech on the platform[0]. That's a decidedly moral perspective and one that comes with an entire political movement.

CIS IS a slur, used to marginalize non-transgender people. I totally disagree with banning the term, but labeling it under "hate speech" alongside anti-transgender wording is perfectly logical IMO.

>yet he still bent the knee because he wanted his platform to stay up in a country so that he could continue to benefit from the user base.

Again, he has no choice here. Either shut twitter down or follow the countries laws. The choices tech giants make in authoritarian countries is pretty meaningless. It's the choices they make in free countries that count and shows their true colors.
