Looking at that paper, they appear to be saying that 6.7B is where the problem becomes so intense that no single quantization method can keep up. From what I gather, the paper claims that such outliers start occur down to 125M param models, then at around 1.3B they begin to affect the FFN, and at around 6.7B is when the issue really starts to become apparent because "100% of layers use the same dimension for outliers."

So while you obviously wouldn't be able to conclusively prove the idea fixes the issue in larger models, if you know what you are looking for you should be able to validate that the method works in general down to very small models.

That said, consumer grade cards should be able to train an 8B model with quantization, so you might as well train the whole thing.

This didn't work half a year ago. They'd still accuse the rewritten text to be AI generated. I think some of the recent updates have changed the tone of ChatGPT so significantly that they no longer register on the radar.
Interesting, I made the opposite observations on two different Macs. Safari, Edge, Chrome & Brave are all less resource hungry for me than Arc, including way worse energy impact / battery drain, unfortunately.

And I'm not alone either, looking at Reddit & Discord in the past.

Made me also switch away again recently. Would love to see them focus more on that instead of all those gimmicks. (Actually expected that before seeing them ship 1.0.)

Also, the way they handle extensions and especially the recent changes getting rid of the extension bar top right are/were also not great.
Huh. I have been doing this for like 15 years and never have a problem. Text editors like Sublime Text suggest names based on the content of the file. SQL Developer, SQLWorkbench, and DataGrip all seem to handle it just fine.

Aha? Developers don't really love managing databases. It'd be ideal if they could just provide the type of database access I need, without having to deal with managing migrations, scaling, and all that other messy stuff.
When you have one person who's experienced with tech, it's easy for the one who isn't to lean on them for tech stuff. A relative of mine let her boyfriend set up everything, then later lost access to everything, as she hadn't kept track of passwords. It could have been a much more nasty situation if the breakup had been on very bad terms or if the bf was particularly vindictive.

None of the consumer facing resources need to be accessible via your vm in the cloud because that isn't how users get to Content/Banking/Shopping/School/resources/communication they do so on their desktop OS. There is zero reason 99.9% of use cases couldn't or would bother to block "insecure" environments and not also block VMs running in insecure environments.

Not even techies are farting around with virtual machines and hoping their fake virtualization tricks don't break this weak when they have important things to do much less 99.999% of planet earth. They might however be willing to press one button that perceptively from the user standpoint switches their screen to a different desktop that happens to be running on a different machine. The interface to this feature would be simple enough they wouldn't have to care to understand it.

Of course mentioning race in the context of prejudice adds context, that's why it's a more interesting analogy. That context might allow you to more intuitively consider the ramifications of what happens when prejudice goes unchecked.

Saying something is akin to something else IS a metaphor. Analogy, simile, whatever. It's a kind of metaphor. You've again described an analogy as an equivalence, which it just isn't. If it's not an equivalence, it can't be a false equivalence. I think we can handle analogies.

Also, as far as I can tell without a paywall (!?), neither definition you linked to mentions beliefs or feelings so I'm not sure how you're getting that. I don't disagree that stereotypes can cause prejudice, I just don't follow the distinction you're trying to draw between beliefs and feelings or how it makes a difference here.

The problem OP was trying to highlight is people making unjustified assumptions about people based on their pre-conceived notions (which are also indefensibly unmoored from reality).
The Aviation Stack Exchange contains the only clear statement on the web about the power dissipation of jetliner engines.[1] Unfortunately, the value given is low by a factor of 2 due to a simple calculus mistake.[2] And even though my Stack Overflow account is more than a decade old, and I posted a slightly successful question on MathOverflow back in 2017, and signed up separately for Aviation, I was not able to comment on the answer or interact on the topic in any way.

You just outlined an excellent proof of what might be called the AI Halting Problem.
When I realized that the linux operating system had to have hardware support (traps for syscalls and interrupts), it was eye opening.

I guess your post highlights how operating systems and hardware developed together, and to innovate outside of what we currently have there is a need to somehow jump outside of this loop.

What are the hardware features are modern operating systems reliant on and the hardware features they aren't reliant on?

Absolutely right. People generally understand that "collective human knowledge[0]" grows but they think of it as a linear system. The speed at which knowledge grows accelerates -- not at an even pace -- but I'd wager somewhere near exponentially in a lot of places.

And each discovery can change our understanding of other things/accelerate discovery in other areas.

Also, while Gymnopilus junonius probably does contain psilocin, I wouldn't really consider it to be a psilocybin mushroom. My understanding is that its effects as a nicotinic acetylcholine inhibitor are more prominent, at least from what I've heard. (As someone without a strong chemistry background, I'm less inclined to be an early adopter of something labeled "unknown neurotoxin.")

I lived on the hill during the protests. I walked through the 'capitol hill autonomous zone' with my children numerous times and never felt unsafe. 15-20 years ago I used to catch a late-night bus at Pike and 3rd which was considerably sketchier than anything that's ever happened on Capitol Hill and even that was tame compared to other large cities I've visited.
I found it so strange that to start a child process you had to fork your current process. Not an intuitive idea to me at all.
They're not really suggesting a defeatist attitude so much as encouraging you to allocate your resources. You only have so much time, energy, and knowledge. To be blunt, if you're passionate about something then you need to invest the time to become knowledgeable in it.

If these two variables are not aligned then you're actively adding noise to the system and I'd argue that you are making the system less democratic. The world is fucking complex and the devil is always in the details. You may notice that the loudest voices are not the most knowledgeable voices. They will never seek details unless it is to critique their opponents and go no further. The loudest voices are not those seeking truth, they are seeking competition. Seeking truth is a cooperative game, where the main goals are aligned and there is no singular winner. It is positive sum. But the loudest voices are playing games to win, often creating competition where there may not have been before. Usually they claim a game is zero sum, when often it is not.

The point of democracy is to distribute power, and not necessarily uniformly. Our modern industrial and economic worlds runs on specialization. At the very core. This is because these processes are so complex that no individual can obtain mastery over even a significant part of the system. There are no physicists who are experts in all of physics, no chemists who have mastered both organic and physical, no climate scientists who understand all of climate, no engineers who master electrical, mechanical, aero, and civil, there are no master full stack engineers. Do you really think political affairs are any different?

For some reason we pretend we can be experts in even larger domains where experts struggle to obtain expertise in a narrow niche. If systems are chaotic, where small differences are critical, then overconfidence has disastrous consequences.
The BMW i4 and Model 3 are compact EVs. They aren't sub-compact EVs, however, which is what we need more of (Chevy Bolt, BMW i3, are the only ones I know of in that category ATM).
More people, but significantly less users, and less intensive users. People in nigeria largely aren't charging electric cars, running laundry dryers, or have much industry that requires as much electricity as the industry in california and texas. In fact, I would guess that the electrical power consumption in Nigeria would be far less than either state, and the overall number of people wouldn't be as big of an impact. Any major infrastructure investments now would pay huge dividends to the people in the future. You don't plant trees because you need shade today, you plant trees because you need shade in 20 years, and that's what I think the goal is here, to prepare africa for a major technological and per capita consumption leap in the next two decades. If they start building today, with many partner countries, it'll prepare the region to succeed better.

At least in the US the military works at the speed of congressional appropriations.

If Congress and the President agree to what you consider a “4-6 year lag” in whatever response we take then, the best Service and COCOM chiefs can do is give advice and then execute orders.

Call and vote for your congressperson if you want lasting change in the use of the DoD.
I'm suspicious of the magnet. Take a real close look in the second video: the paper cuts the image so the seam of the magnet blends with the table. But in the video it looks much more obviously like there's two magnets stacked on top of each other.

In other news, I'm pretty sure I once cleaned a keyboard containing live roaches because an engineer ate messy hamburgers over it for lunch every day without cleaning them. It smelled and looked like a dumpster. There was no swapping keyboards for political and economic concerns. If you're a badass nuclear/electrical engineer, businesses tend to tolerate quite a lot.

In other other news, I once ran johntheripper against a NIS password hash dump (`getent passwd`) from my university's CS department's computer lab network. Within about 3 minutes, I had the login passwords of 5 professors, a dozen grad students, and about 40 students.
Threads Isn’t Labeling Propaganda Accounts from Russia, China State Media
Ask HN: How are interviews going now?
I’m working as a full stack SWE in SV and am interviewing around looking for something different with… interesting results, I’m wondering how others are finding it?

I’ve applied to probably 40 companies, gotten invited to do around 6 phone screens (some including two rounds to pass), and have yet to make it to an on-site.

Some of the phone screens I’ve done I just never heard back from, I’ve had two separate instances at different companies where in between passing the first and going on to the second round the company went through layoffs and the recruiters that were handling me were part of those affected, I’ve been told I will get an invite to an on-site after the company recovers from lay offs which never materialized, and I’ve just flat out not passed the rest.

The bar seems definitely much higher than I can ever remember it being at this stage, and companies seem pretty disinterested in following through with hiring. I have heard things are starting to stabilize in tech but it still seems like everyone is bracing for the worst.
Tell HN: I got fired, this is how it happened
A few years ago I was fired from a job, and thought I'd tell HN how it happened incase if anyone is curious. It was a Friday, I was the only person in the office, and I just got back from Lunch. I opened up Teams on my corporate phone, and a minute late or so I received a random unscheduled Teams call from a person in HR. After I joined, I saw that the Vice President of HR, and the other senior HR person was in the call.

They said I was being terminated for violating values. After that they said sysadmin/IT folk were disabling my access as they spoke and then confirmed my personal email access. Also they said they wanted to help me with one months severance. Then the call ended and I was just sitting in one of the office chairs in shock. I knew that IT couldn't disable or change my badge access remotely since I heard that from an IT employee once. I left my badge on the IT's persons desk and then left. That's it!
I built a variant of this for learning Japanese (and soon more language pairs) by reading. It tracks (on your local device/personal iCloud) all the words and kanji you read, the sentences that contained them, and the original source materials. So when you encounter a word, you can view your personal corpus of example sentences and articles to reference from your reading.

I plan to expand this to a general purpose web browser (or a kind of alternative companion reading-oriented browser).

Yes. I could actually hear another guy in his virtual background answering questions about git. It was the weirdest thing.
It helps, but without other controls (which may exist, of course) it means that the shittiest manufacturer wins.

If company A makes a product that is cheap to make, but expensive to recycle, and company B makes a product that is expensive to make but has recycling as a core value, and thus is cheap to recycle, company B loses when they have to take on company A's device after a sale.

The costs should be on the original manufacturer and as such, reflected in the purchase price.
Maybe the title should tell more about this device (seems to be a camera)
Friend, respectfully... 5 people were not shot over a few days on the late night bus. I'm glad you felt safe and that you were able to walk your kids through it but lets not down play what really happened to the people that were shot and killed in that small area during that short window of time.

> Focus being fundamentals, not new and shiny or what's popular right now.

Well the intent is on the core principles and fundamentals, as I mentioned in my original post. So those shouldn't change year-to-year. Decade-to-decade, maybe, but most books go out of date within a decade anyway, aside from truly timeless ones, so that's not really a priority or a concern.

I was thinking something akin to Designing Data Intensive Applications, as an example, which focuses on lot of core principles, but mentions currently relevant technologies and implementations as appropriate. Obviously Designing Data Intensive Applications is a world class book, so not trying to draw a direct comparison by any means, just to provide a similar example.
