Nordstrom being a third party vendor of course. You want Patagonia, go to Patagonia. :)

In my mind we’re talking about what is a better solution to the problem, and it’s that companies WILL protect their IP. If someone buys fake Patagonia, Patagonia loses out on a sale.

Amazon doesn’t own much of anything IP-Wise on their marketplace in the grand scheme. And they don’t care who buys what as long as products are moving. It’s easier for them to just pay out returns than handle the actual problem.

VC capitalism over the past decade resembles the free spending era of Communist central planners tasked with rapidly industrializing their economies.

1) Dump enormous amounts of zero-interest capital into {{ sector }}

2) Entrust leadership to charismatic politicians rather than domain experts (Adam Neumann)

3) Craft a PR narrative emphasizing innovation and diminishing critics (Softbank "Vision Fund", "swinging for the fences", "transformational" )

4) Construct Potemkin villages to show the world that all is well (going public)

5) ...followed by eventual rapid decline and collapse

WeWork is the most egregious example, but the same fate awaits the likes of UberEats and Lime and what have you.

There should be a middle ground somewhere between an unwieldy chemical formula and a catchy product-like name.

For example 3,4-MDMA is a useful shorthand for people who want to be precise as to which isomer they're talking about, but don't want to spell out 3,4-methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine every time.
Cool, there are also additional issues with the RoPEAttention you might want to fix as well :

The reference paper for rotary embedding is Roformer https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.09864v4.pdf

First you shouldn't rotate the values, only keys and queries.
This is wrong : v_out = (torch.bmm(v.transpose(0,1), self.R[:m, ...])).transpose(0,1)

Second you shouldn't apply multihead attention which as additional inner weights that will mess with the rotations you have just done.
This is wrong : activations, attn_weights = self.multihead (q_out,k_out,v_out)

Instead you should use scaled_dot_product_attention( q_out,k_out,v_out)

Third, each attention head should have been treated similarly, and each attention head should have the same rotation frequencies.
What I ask for is all compensation from my potential employer. If they don’t provide it, that’s a bad sign.

Things I ask for:
-salary
-average and median overtime (if applicable)
-paid time off with leave and sick broken out
-company holidays (eg Christmas, Juneteenth, etc)
-pension
-401k match
-insurance - health, life, disability, dental, vision
-anything else the company pays for me

I definitely care most about salary, but I compare total bottom line across offers.

If one company pays $100k and has no 401k match and another pays $95k with 10% 401k match that’s really useful in deciding.
So depending on the categories it would potentially not be sensationalist to say “Intel GPU drivers are recording how much you watch porn”. And this potentially covers a lot of people if integrated video is covered by the same drivers. I suspect I won’t be the only person to adopt a principled position and avoid Intel devices from now on after a lifetime of choosing only Intel.

How are we 2023 and there still not legal protections against this sort of thing. It’s basically the tech version of peeping tom.
To me at least, it makes much better sense to go all-in on a MiSTer, rather than gradually frankenstein-ing the build with ARM or FPGA-based chips. There's money to be made trying to maintain these 40+ year old units though. (if the cottage industry surrounding it isn't a clue)
And have some bandages and beer to make up for it later.
This is precisely the reason for the existence of SREs... to be able to push back on builders some of the costs and concerns of maintainability.

In the home builders example... that would be lawyers and lawsuits.
I disagree about Emily Wilson's Odissey. She translated the first line of the poem as "Tell me about a complicated man". She almost went with "Tell me about a straying husband". Neither complicated nor straying husband appear in the original text. Pope's description (The man for wisdom’s various arts renown’d...) is closer to the epithets we are taught at school (ricco d'astuzie or dal multiforme ingegno). πολύτροπος means resourceful, of many skills, well-travelled.

That's the first line and complicated tells us nothing about the protagonist. Everyone can be complicated, but only Odysseus is πολύτροπον. It's a quality of character few people possess.

No, he's not. Why have it?

This isn't a general purpose programming language, a pile of ore from which you might conceivably construct a footgun. It's a toolkit specifically designed for financial applications with a "leak your financial details" tool built in.

Sure, it's AGPL, they're not literally liable, but it's not great.
It's good you added those figures to put fracking into perspective. I've also seen the chemical list sans info on the proprietary stuff but it was a while ago and the details escape me (but I do recall being rather alarmed as they weren't innocuous by any means).

You're right about the amount of water used, where I am in Australia fracking is very controversial not only because of the water usage (this is a very dry country) but also that fracking sites were on some of the best farming land in the country.
It makes sense to divide late-stage, large-cheque VC from classic early-stage, small-cheque VC in the same way we separate money-losing, unlevered PE from classic cash-flow positive, leveraged PE. (Hint: the latter are the same.)
I do not understand why Adam Neumann got that massive exit settlement from We Work?

> WeWork founder Adam Neumann received $245m in company stock [....] In addition to the $245m grant, Neumann received $200m in cash, was able to refinance $432m in debt on favorable terms, and allowed a finance company controlled by the former chief executive to sell $578m in WeWork stock. [1]

That guy got incredibly rich creating a company that was clearly not viable and seems likely to bankrupt. Corporate government seems to be non-existent here.

Who are the people that are left holding the bag? Hopefully it is mostly just private money like the Saudis + SoftBank (if they screw up, they suffer the consequences, that is great) and not public pension funds. Otherwise, the public fund managers should go after this complete lack of governance and oversight.

Once configured, a FPGA is the hardware that's configured into it. It's cheaper than an ASIC, unless you make a shitton of them.

The newly-made design, be it in FPGA or ASIC form, is not the original MOS chip. But it could indeed behave identically.

ASIC advantages such as lower power consumption and higher achievable clock speeds at a given node, are advantages relative to the FPGA. Not advantages relative to the original MOS chip, which dirt cheap FPGAs can vastly outdo, and only need to match for the purpose.
FWIW you can look at the network traffic in your browser devtools and verify that only the public key is being sent to them. You can even hit their API endpoint with the public key you want to add manually, I just tried it and it worked.

Either way, if you don't trust them it hardly matters if your connection to their server is secure - they're the ones decrypting it!
I understand that it is so, I don't see the point of it. It's not an asset that appreciates at a rate sufficient to make it worth it for the value, so it's then down to a purity test. To me they've no appeal as a historical artefact. Their only appeal is for nostalgia, for which being able to actually use them matters far more than purity - if anything, my experience is that nostalgia is best served by imperfect replication that fixes those real aspects that were particularly painful (like easily burning out 6526's...). Especially those we badly wished for at the time (like 6526's more resistant to burnouts...)
I’m thinking specifically of generative AI’s fair use claims. I thought the book site (and all of your extension examples) was clearly fair use.
>You know what else is harmful to the concept of the open internet? The enormous malicious botnets and other endemic problems that require a solution like CloudFlare.

You know what's infinitely worse? Monopolies.

Half these problems can be fixed by banning certain parts of the world. It's just politically shifted out of the Overton window to do that so CF profits greatly.
"Fair use" only applies to instances of copying / redistributing. The hint is in the name: copy-right.

There's a notion, which seems to have taken off among creators who are paranoid about AI eating their livelihoods (which it might eat a chunk of) that copyright prevents people from doing anything with works they [legally] acquired other than personally read, listen, or watch it.

That's not how copyright, as it has existed in the past, works. You can do all the algorithmic processing of your ebook collection that you want. You might be able to display small portions of a book to others, depending on the situation.

Quoting one or two paragraphs out of an entire book seems like reasonably safe fair use, but that won't stop a copyright-maximalist creator (or their publisher) from suing you, and won't stop some copyright-maximalist judge from ruling against you, so it's probably best to minimize the amount of content from a book that you redisplay directly. But you can do all the analysis and statistics generation you want, and display those results to others.

It remains to be seen what judges will do with AI generation of works based on ingesting gigantic amounts of copyrighted work. The entire framework of copyright is going to be broken, and until Congress steps in and changes it, judges are going to go every which way. There's no bright line for 4-factor analysis; it's always been a gut-level "is this a reasonable use that doesn't impact commercial sales too much". There's no possible rational way to draw a line. AI models can generate a painting of a new subject only loosely in the style of a contemporary painter, which would not be copyright infringement, or it can generate a near-clone of an existing work with the right prompting, and depending on how clever the prompter is, a lot of intermediate stages of likeness. Who decides how close to an existing work is too close?
They are mostly interested in making money, not helping people with insomnia, so shady is fine for that goal.
I really respect how Mullvad is willing to sacrifice business to give extra security and reliability to the (remaining) customers. I first saw it when they disabled auto-renewal with PayPal, because it'd force them to store PII along with your account.

Unfortunately for me, they made one too many sacrifices, and disabled port forwarding[1]. They don't store any contact information that could be used to warn customers, so my connection mysteriously failed one day and I was left with several months of prepaid service.

I'm a bit bitter for that, but honestly their technical writing and security decisions have earned enough good will from me that I want them to keep the money. As the only VPN that doesn't feel shady, I wish them all the best.

I agree with you. There’s a pattern that I see a lot, of having:

1. large powerful players doing something not entirely helpful;

2. victims of that protesting that change vehemently; all that in vain because the players are powerful and have sheltered themselves from criticism, usually via lobbying;

3. regulatory capture or protests go after a smaller player, which is widely advertised to accuse 2. of going too far — even when the problem in 1. is still entirely there, and now ignored.

It’s definitely the case with globalization (large conglomerate benefit, people protest, and a small artisan who started selling abroad is featured being victimized by tariffs), fossil fuel (large oil extractor, climate advocate, farmer seeing fertilizer prize go up), immigration, American cultural hegemony, car dominance over cities, etc.

That pattern allows larger players still doing harm to wash their morals. I feel like we need better antibodies to say: No, this does not absolve them.
I wouldn’t expect it to, although sometimes I see that broken out as “taxes paid on your behalf.”

I look at what is a benefit to me and what I would need to pay for if the employer didn’t. Health insurance is a benefit because if my employer didn’t pay it, I would.

I would not need to pay my employer social security/Medicare (nor unemployment nor workers comp, etc).

Although back when I was comparing w2 and 1099 offers I included it in my calculation because I would need to pay it for myself if I chose to work 1099.
I just think it's really funny that a third or so of the article is the author struggling to figure out why this would be useful to anyone.

> scanned and analyzed a whole bunch of books and would let you call up really useful data on books. [...] Frankly, all of that sounds amazing. And amazingly useful. Even more amazing is that he built it, and it worked. It would produce useful analysis of books.

> This is all quite interesting. It’s also the kind of thing that data scientists do on all kinds of work for useful purposes. Smith built Prosecraft into Shaxpir, again, making it a more useful tool.

Author's general illiteracy aside, he's really giving the game away here. I can't even think about the ethical implications of the project, because why would I care to count the number of adverbs and passive voice in all books ever, and why would you need a state of the art LLM-powered AI to do it?

> The Gizmodo article has a ridiculously wrong “fair use” analysis, saying “Fair Use does not, by any stretch of the imagination, allow you to use an author’s entire copyrighted work without permission as a part of a data training program that feeds into your own ‘AI algorithm.’” Except… it almost certainly does? Again, we’ve gone through this with the Google Book scanning case, and the courts said that you can absolutely do that because it’s transformative.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Fair Use doesn't mean you can download a dump of Library Genesis and feed that into your system!
You're reading too much into this. It is just a casual joke from a long time ago and I find the rest of the copy is quite good.

I heartily recommend Logue's adaptation too! I'm not a regular poetry reader, nor a reader of the classics but his version really opened my mind to those worlds. I enjoy writers like Samuel Beckett and the weirder, darker end of sci-fi/fantasy (e.g. B. Catling's The Voorh), and Logue's War Music really just seemed to fit right into my taste.
I like bash, zsh and other shell languages as well. However, unless you're really experienced, they shouldn't be the product you ship, whether that is internally or externally to you or your company.

Shell languages is the final layer of configuration and customization you apply to the setup, it should almost never be the foundation of what you build.

Especially for a company, unless you've got really, really skilled engineers on the scripts, it becomes a complete mess. And even then it can become almost impossible to grok.

The way we develop infrastructure automation, ci, and developer tools is binaries first and foremost, then plugins for our infrastructure (also binaries, or libraries) and then some zsh on top to provide a nice developer experience.

But we've had to heavily scale back our use of zsh, it simply turned into a ball of mud, like all software that isn't maintainable, upgrade-able, or simple enough to parse.

This isn't a dig on zsh, bash etc, we've just found out that we can't maintain zsh as a product to supply to our engineers, and as such have to correct.
“Never add up” is a straw man. If your guy in college drunk driving were hundreds driving drunk every day for years on end, yes, I’d validly (if sceptically) question my priors if there hadn’t been any injuries nor serious property damage. Here, my priors are much softer than those for drunk driving. So when all we have is anecdotes and vague interactions, I lean towards the lack of evidence of actual harm.

Sidenote: I know a bunch of people from Crimea and many things we take for granted are surprisingly complex for them. People from Cuba or Iran at least have the certainty of which country they are in.
No need to be venomous. No, it's not an ego project. I'm not saying it will lift the Third World out of poverty but it's a genuinely disinterested endeavor. And I give to other charities, some of which you would probably approve of.
> That's silly. Humans review books all the time, using very similar words. Where's the outrage over that?

Easy: humans are not machines. "X does it all the time, so I should be able to do it" is never a valid conclusion. It depends on the situation.

> In fact it's a terribly useful tool, and once the mob cools off it'll likely return.

Maybe this tool in particular does not "abuse" the books. Maybe this tool in particular is terribly useful. But you can't blame authors and artists for taking a stance against those new algorithms that provably have the potential to automatically "steal" from their work. You can believe that asking ChatGPT to "write a novel in the style of X" is not abusing the copyright, that's fine. And the authors can answer that they fear it has the potential to break their source of revenue to a point where they won't want to publish anything anymore. And they are entitled to it. And maybe someday we come up with licenses that prevent the use as training data (how in the world could one conclude today that "it is most definitely fair use", given that this is a very new way of using IP material?).
The era of cheap money is frequently invoked to explain this grand fiasco but macroeconomic variables have the same relation with any specific project that climate change has with an unusual heat wave.

Due diligence, focus on good governance etc are more directly influential in weeding out dodgy propositions and these behavioral aspects need not be closely correlated with any risk-free momey rate.
My understanding is that Nvidia GPUs require GeForce Experience to enable all of the advertised features, which also includes telemetry that tracks your windows and URLs.

Can you change it though? When I first added my tokens I wrote their brand name to identify them, but then I realised I might buy more from that brand, so, I changed to writing a colour, reasoning that when I buy new ones even if they've got an identical colour I can add a blob of nail polish or something, so "The Red One" is clearly this one, not that one. I don't use PyPI but I found it convenient to go back and fix places where I'd written like "Yubico". It's not a big thing, but it's also hopefully not difficult to implement.
The interesting thing is, how is Docker for Mac able to run x86 containers at speed when Apple's Developer Documentation for Rosetta says it can't be used for virtual machines?

Or have they just embedded the QEMU on-demand translator with binfmt_misc in the ARM virtual machine and the M1/M2 is just powerful enough to make users not notice what's going on?

If siri is any indication, not many.
To be less glib, just wait until there are a bunch of papers picking Swiglu over Relu, and then you can stop handwringing. Because it doesn't really matter if there was a super specific concrete well-articulated reason that Swiglu worked well for their specific approach. You're still going to use Relu by default and quickly try Swiglu for now regardless.

It's fine, I waited a bit before default adopting Relu over Tanh for all hidden non-final (not outputting a probability) layers.
Add to this a total and utter lack of any interest from any political parties with any chance of being elected to govern a country.

User-hostility in the privacy realm is open slather. It's (more than?) likely to be encouraged by political parties because they can buy and use the data for their, inarguably worse for society, constituent-hostile political gaming.

>which does not seem like a smart decision now (especially as Qualcomm seems to be moving to RISC-V lol).

I politely disagree. We know for a fact, from December's RISC-V Summit, that Microsoft is influencing RISC-V to ease the burden on their own Windows for RISC-V effort.

Qualcomm was a partner for ARM, and they are already used to working with them. They will likely be partners again, with RISC-V devices this time around.

And Windows for ARM will go the same way as Windows for Alpha. Just an historical footnote.

RISC-V is inevitable.
Fantastic tool. It also has a command line version which has almost completely replaced `bc` for me.
