Wow. Are you one of those people who posts on LinkedIn about how they'd turn down a million dollars for the chance to wait on a billionaire's table?

Please. Steve Jobs is only famous because he was an asshole.

He did have other qualities, including that of recognizing talent and inspiring them. His interest in counterculture probably served him well in other ways, but that was not particularly unusual for his time.

Steve Jobs' path to being a billionaire required the sheer gall to steal others' work, and bully employees into burnout, over and over again.

The only thing that can prevent me from accessing htop, is a kernel panic.

Because, even if the Desktop Environment crashes or freezes (Can't even remember the last time that happened), I can always switch to another virtual console with Ctrl+Meta+F2, login and run any program from there, including starting another DE instance.

And in the equivalent of a kernel panic in windows (BSOD), the Task Manager is inaccessible as well.
The main difference is setting everything up yourself manually, downloading the modal, optimizing the parameters for best performance, running an API server and a UI front-end - which is out of reach for most non-technical people. With LlamaGPT, it's just one command: `docker compose up -d` or one click install for umbrelOS home server users.
I don't have visibility into all of the costs associated. We use the bug bounty product they offer, and we define how much we pay for various types of bugs, and what targets are in scope. You can also remove products from being in scope, so you have a few levers to pull to control costs.
I don't get the impression that the author is particularly disappointed by this state of affairs, though. Their passion seems to be less in the photography, and more in the collation and organisation of images - and if they can't get enough images themselves, they'll go out there and take them. My impression of the post was that they seemed positive that other people are doing this work - and far better than the writers - leaving them to get on with doing other things.

I guess it's similar to the tradeoffs of moving from doing a particular job, to managing others doing the job. Yes, you're less hands-on, but if you do your job well, you become a force-multiplier for other people, which for some people can be much more rewarding.

I know another active Wikipedian photographer, and I get the impression that, while he enjoys the photography, the joy for him comes predominantly from the use of the photos, rather than the experience of using them. If he didn't need to take photos, I imagine he'd find some other, similar way to satisfy his archivist urges.

It was uniquely bad in that it didn't encrypt video in transit. It'd just send stuff over plain HTTP, making it very easy for snoopers to tell what you're watching or maybe mitm. More of a security thing than a privacy thing.

“You may ask—why doesn’t the device ask the nearest time server for the current time over the network?” Microsoft engineers wrote. “Since the device is not in a state to communicate securely over the network, it cannot obtain time securely over the network as well, unless you choose to ignore network security or at least punch some holes into it by making exceptions.”

Let me guess, time isn't set, so dnssec is broken, so ntp servers won't reolve, so you can't set the time?

No. We don’t understand superconductivity well enough to even attempt something like that.

I think we can say that some of the current superconductor mechanisms don’t allow it at room temperature, but we don’t have enough of an overarching theory of superconductivity to say something like that more generally.
It's powered by Nous Hermes Llama2 7b. From their docs: "This model stands out for its long responses, lower hallucination rate, and absence of OpenAI censorship mechanisms.

That means that if the CA keys get out, someone could use it to sign their own cert for google.com, [mybank].com, or [mypasswordmanager].com. Every device with my CA cert on it will trust those.

Maker faire.

Encompasses anything from art to software, woodworking, 3D printing & more. Also fun for ppl who aren't into the "making" part, but enjoy playing with hands-on / interactive exhibits, asking creators how they did it, or get new inspiration.

This mixes nicely with workshops, small contests (eg. a powertool race, where old powertools / motors ripped from various junk, are repurposed to race each other), or other educational / fun stuff.
Also cheaper labor is a big draw.
Slight correction: Zamenhof's native languages (so far as we can tell), in a sense of what he spoke at home, were Yiddish and Russian, although he certainly learned Polish at a very young age due to place of residence. Not that it makes much difference in this case - the quirks of Esperanto phonology, such all those affricates and consonant clusters are familiar to speakers of pretty much any Slavic language. Esperanto orthography, on the other hand, appears to be inspired more by Czech than Polish - "v" rather than "w", diacritics over digraphs etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

I wasn't aware of this, so I looked it up. It seems some UV light can be ionizing, such as the shorter wavelength variety. UVB is not, but can cause chemical reactions, such as fluorescence. UVC, which can be ionizing, doesn't normally reach earth's surface.

UV light causes reactive oxygen species, I guess this is not the same as ionizing.

numpy (which is inspired by Matlab which is inspired by APL) does indeed have a count_nonzero function, which is intended to be used in situations like this. Unfortunately, it (like most of numpy) doesn't work with generators, just array-like objects (aka numpy arrays and python lists), so it has the same memory performance issues as filtering and using len.

If your input was a numpy array to begin with you could skip the array comprehension, and shorten it to numpy.count_nonzero(ages > 17), since numpy automatically broadcasts the comparison operation to each element of the array.
Yeah, I think Professor Moriarty in the video comes to a similar conclusion - he does say "in that sense is science working", and goes on to lament the problems with misinformation in the social media age. I can definitely sympathize with the frustration of scientists having to deal with so much social media bullshit, and people who so confidently believe "My ignorance is as equal as your hard work and experience."

That said, I really loved that Sixty Symbols video for a couple reasons:

1. First, Moriarty was pretty much exactly spot on in his skepticism: the reduction in resistivity is not the behavior you'd expect to see in a superconductor (turned out to be due to copper sulfide impurities), and that the floating in a magnet behavior is not that surprising and could be due to diamagnetism.

2. I wasn't previously that familiar with diamagnetism beyond a vague "I remember hearing about that", so this whole thing led me known the wikipedia rabbit hole to find out about diamagnetism which was really interesting to me.

3. Professor Moriarty explains "this is not how you do science" (bad science by over-hyped press release is at least as old as cold fusion) and gives very good advice on how you should do good science in an age of Arxiv.

Sorry for the criticism here, but your linked paper / article does nothing to explain the math behind transformers. You should re-name it something like 'Scaling Transformer Mathematics' or 'The Math Behind Scaling GPUs / Transformers' or whatever more descriptive name there is to describe what you're outlining in your article. 'Transformer Math 101' should at least explain 1) input embeddings 2) (keys, queries, values) and the idea behind the matrix multiplication of these linear / numeric sets of values 3) the Softmax computation in the original paper as well as the relevant matrix transformations which take place 4) dot products ( and how they relate to similarity scoring) 5) feed-forward neural networks and the gradient descent / backpropagation and how they work. There are many many concepts you didn't even touch upon. This is not 'Transformer Math 101' by any means.

Most functional languages don't have statements at all, and Python's anonymous functions can, as most, handle any single expression, regardless of complexity or size.

Python having a statement heavy syntax and making complex expressions (while possible) awkward is the problem with its anonymous functions, not the fact that its anonymous functions are limited to a single expression.

> Biden, who is clearly mentally unfit for the job

It's not actually clear to me that Biden is mentally unfit for the job.

Certainly there has been some decline; watching videos of Biden in debates in 2012 side by side with 2020, the difference is obvious. But it's not clear that this has been in areas where it's actually necessary. A President doesn't (necessarily) need to think quickly in the moment; they need to be able to listen to the correct advisors, make the correct connections, be willing to apply pressure to foreign leaders, etc. It's not clear that there's any particular role of President that Biden is failing at due to his mental state.

All of this is yet another point in favor of your broader one. You say:

> Institutions are so strong that you can elect a vegetable and the country runs pretty well.

I say, institutions are so strong that you can't tell if you elected a vegetable. Biden is by no means the first in such a situation; Reagan notoriously was showing signs of Alzheimers by the end of his presidency, and the day-to-day was run by Nancy with the country none the wiser.

I saw a demo of a Skyrim mod on Youtube [1], where they wired the dialog screen with NPCs in the town of Windhelm up with the OpenAI API.

Each character had all their Bethesda-written dialog fed to the LLM as a starting prompt, so each one communicated with the player within the bounds of their authored identity, and knew what that character was written to know.

The human player used freeform in-game text-to-LLM as input to talk to the people in the town square. The latency was large, but not more than a few seconds.

He was able to walk up to someone and say things like "Where do you live? Who is your father?" .... latency pause ... "Oh me? I live in the Cloud District. It's where all of us Battleborn clan live, of course!"

The real kicker of this demo was that they passed the LLM-generated response dialog in to a deep-fake model trained on each character's original voice actors (since the corpus in Skyrim is vast, this ended up quite accurate).

All of this was a major generational shift for gaming as a whole. I had just witnessed the first time a video game player could actually TALK to an NPC, in a fully unstructured and unscripted fashion, while each character remained as in-character as the original game's authors intended.

So maybe this purchase by OpenAI is about something like that. Building NPCs for Biomes.gg that you can actually talk to.

Nothing prevents you from defining a new word and then using it.

The problem, rather, is that any such definition will be confined to that conversation, or at least that group of speakers - there are no "reusable libraries".

I don't expect or demand 100% accuracy. As to imagination... perhaps. I'm not sitting around trying to think up things to have it do. I've just tried using it to speed up rote stuff, but I find it's faster and easier just to do it myself to begin with.

AnonFiles was very sketchy. They had extremely generous file size limits and were apparently funded completely through donations. On their footer they linked to other file sharing sites, which linked to even more file sharing sites. All of them had the exact same layout and generous file size limits. They also shared the exact same IPs. There were around 15 of them. A lot of them impersonated other defunct file sharing websites which shut down such as MegaUpload. All of these sites are now offline. Make of this what you will, but to me it sounds like a honeypot.

I really like the idea of mainframe-style deployment models these days. My patience for 'devops' has zeroed out as of a few years ago. I've been pushing us on a cloud native function war path for the last ~period of time.

Overall, I would say your presentation is fantastic. I was able to try it out in a few minutes and see the actual product for myself. I also really like the fact that you went for C# support. I was going to suggest synergies with the Unity crowd but I see you've already included a guide in your docs about this.

Actually in the UK and Ireland a vacuum cleaner is called a Hoover. But in general I think we do that less than Americans. For example, we don't call a public announcement system a "Tannoy". That's a brand of hifi speakers. And we'd say "photo copier" instead of Xerox.

So actually they're mentioning profit sharing in their job ads:

> Yup, that's the whole point of patent. To be able to "own" ideas, so nobody else can compete.

No, it's to own _your invention_ so someone else (with more money) can't mass-produce your invention while you're only able to produce and sell in Peoria.

Are many patents rubbish in one form or another? Yes. Are some patents nothing more than an "idea" without an invention? Yes.

Does that mean all patents are just an "idea"? NO.

Invention != Idea.

> Patents in general are a mistake IMHO.

We can and should improve the patent system by shortening the term lengths, denying "obvious" patents, limiting the ability of someone to patent an invention that they never exploit (i.e. build and sell).

None of that means we should toss out patents entirely.
I struggle too. I've generated 39 ideas in the last 18 months and none have looked very appealing to work on. If it was easy, more people would do it.
