I haven't fine-tuned GPT-3.5-turbo yet, but overall llama2 is probably going to be cheaper. Especially if 13B is good enough for you.

You can get roughly $0.003/1K tokens using modal.com for inference on a fine-tuned llama2 13B model, and there's definitely cheaper options available.

Unless you have a ton of data, the cost for training llama2 is usually a few dollars.

Your confusion seems to have to do with microarchitecture vs ISA.

An ISA is the Instruction Set Architecture, the interface between software and hardware.

A microarchitecture is a hardware implementation of an ISA.

RISC-V is an ISA.

ARM is a company that has both an ISA (actually several, but their current is ARMv9) and a bunch of microarchitectures.

Their business model is to license their IP:

- They may license you a microarchitecture, so that you can include it in your chip's design.

- They may license you the ISA, so you can implement your own microarchitecture for the ISA. Note that you can't then license your microarchitecture to others, that's ARM's sole privilege.

RISC-V's instruction space has some room for custom extensions. Thus it can be adapted to find specific needs, without asking for permission nor opting out of the strongest software ecosystem which RISC-V is rapidly building.

But while RISC-V is pretty good technically, enabling the best processors, what's most disruptive is that it is an open ISA.

It means there's now an open market with RISC-V microarchitectures to license, from a range of vendors. There's also some open source microarchitectures.

Microarchitecture licensing aside, there's an ecosystem of companies offering related services, such as helping you verify your designs, trace your code and so on.
I turn off all notifications except SMS and phone calls and mute all whatsapp contacts and groups except for my direct family.

I have a zero inbox policy on my email and everything in my calendar must be marked complete for the day otherwise it moves along.
Is this a really problem? It's vanishingly rare in my experience to here a phone ring these days. Rude people intentionally playing music or other media without headphones is a much larger but still rare phenomenon.
64 bit integers can. Excel uses 64 bit floating point. Try the formula

=1 = (1+1e-16)

and you'll get TRUE.
Depth of discharge depends on spare capacity, use case and autonomy of the system.

It's entirely plausible for remote autonomous systems to be discharged deeply during a rainy period of several days.
> It is bank fraud and imitation with the intent to abuse the reputation of the person imitated. It should be illegal to imitate you when it negatively hurts you.

I think the argument is that the hurt is generated by the bank. Why isn't it the bank's responsibility to have their shit together and not do that?
This is so weird. I built a working "python within excel" a few years back.

Podman has been around for a while, you are right. However, it's recent surge in popularity is simply due to Docker Desktop's changed terms and pricing.
I wrote here years ago that it is in every countries best interest to do the following: 1. Be able to fab chips required to run their infrastructure (business and military). 2. Either have a home grown commercial operating system, or their own Linux distro and required application software. 3. Maintain their own unique culture and arts. 4. Have some degree of food independence, even if it is an emergency only limited meat diet.

Small countries can only partially achieve this level of independence, but all countries should try. I think the world is even more beautiful with more diversity.
This is probably propaganda, but it's also a management self-own. Either most of your people are so shitty they're indistinguishable from someone working 1hr/day and thus you suck at hiring, or you're so incompetent that you can't tell the difference. Either way, not a good reflection on management.
Doesn't the journald component of systemd do this? I seem to recall it was much reviled for exactly the problems you point out - that it is harder to work with than plaintext logs.
We're working on this at op (https://opapp.io). Pandas in a spreadsheet, just not an excel spreadsheet if you're able to jump ship.
I intensely dislike websites that use this style. All style, and no content. It takes you 3 minutes to get to the bottom of the page; and once you do, you realize that you have about five-sentences-worth of actual information.

That being said....

The New York Time is regularly running mixedia long-form journalism that intersperses scroll-bar-driven media with text. I'm not sure how much. Maybe one or two articles a week. The mixed media can be quite elaborate: animated graphs, video, diagrams with incremental annotation. I'm not entirely sold. But I can't help admiring what they're trying to do anyway. My read: that they are consciously trying to create a new vocabulary for presenting text-based information on the web.

The general style is as follows: four or five paragraphs of text, and as you scroll down, you encounter islands of animated media that are driven by scrolling. An example: a series of pictures, with annotations that appear sequentially explaining what your seeing. Or a graph, again with sequentially appearing graphs and annotations.

Some articles are more successful than others; but I will grudgingly admit that most of the animation sequences are worth about 1400 words.

Compare that to the web mockups on that page, where an entire website is worth about 36 words.

Honestly, when I do several rounds and travel 2 hours to your stupid office, I’d hope I’d at least get a fucking yes/no.
Populist-right economics focus on tariffs and protectionism. The first-order effect of protectionism is support for jobs in the local protected industries. The second-order effect is that all the industries downstream get hammered, because they get hit by the tariffs.

Populist-left economics focus on large-scale government spending. The first-order effect is that everybody gets a $2000 check, or a subsidized rail system, or whatever. The second-order effect is inflation and economic instability; you end up paying $10 for a loaf of bread.

Populism is the idea that there is a clear will of the people, or a clear set of policies in their interest. Policy debates aren't divided by left vs. right, or by supply-side Keynesianism. Rather, they're a division between the people and the elites. There isn't really room for a synthesis of multiple competing ideas (at least not until the people have taken over from the elites once again). It's the opposite of pluralism.

Populist economics, according to this author, is defined largely by ideas that are simple enough to sell to people who haven't studied economics enough to conceive of second- and third-order policy effects. Those ideas all fail in the real world, but we have to re-learn that periodically, because of periodic resurgences of populism.

(I believe some of this but not all of it and am really just trying to do my best to articulate what I thought the article was saying).
That's funny, in my family we have a policy of always calling twice because you often miss it by a second. This rule prevents that the callee tries to call back and you get this mismatch "number busy" (how have we still not figured out how to connect two people that are literally calling each other?). Works great for us. Please, call me twice!

The decline button I use for when I can't talk right now but heard you. If you then call again, I will assume something happened. I like being reachable for those that have my number. So far, nobody has abused it

I receive a phone call unexpectedly maybe once a month, so it's unlikely that anyone is bothered by a buzzing phone for 1-2x 25 seconds. I don't need it to be on "do not dare disturb me" all the time...
This is also one of my favorites, but it can get even more verbose. However this is how the go type system is designed to work with covariance. Without the `~` operator these functions could only be used for a much smaller range of inputs.

But this complexity is an implementation detail of the library, you do not have to understand it as a user of these functions. From my perspective it is a valid approach to move complexity from use application layer into the library layer, so it can be hidden there and tested once.
Huh?

"This project provides an API with user level access support to transcribe speech to text using a finetuned and processed Whisper ASR model."

Why is this a service at all? Why not just a library? Or a subprocess?
Show HN: OpenAI Python Colab to Summarize and Chat with PDF
Found some open source code from a medium article https://medium.com/@kapildevkhatik2/the-ultimate-guide-to-pd.... The article uses python code and the openai davinci model to summarize a pdf document. I copied the code into a Google Colab and extended the code to allow for new 3.5 Turbo chat completion functionality so you can chat with a pdf document. There are a lot of different tools out there that can give you the ability to chat with documents but I think having the code in a Colab has advantages for people interested in learning programming and Colab's are great. Obviously there are a lot more features that could have been added but I wanted to show how easy it is to get started making your AI tools. Start to finish this took about 15 minutes to get configured. Plan on doing more of these this year so send any feedback!
>IMHO there's no reason to get a physical card, unless you want a souvenir

My friends and I were unable to load our Suica using the Wallet app. It kept throwing an error. We had to visit stations that had ATM or kiosks for loading Suica that were wireless (tap instead of insert) so we could load from the card stored in Wallet app. Our one friend that had an Android was able to load his card anywhere.

This was difficult enough in Tokyo where most card loading machines are insert not tap, let alone outside of Tokyo. Most major stations seemed to support this but smaller ones were totally hit or miss.
Really good write up. Been using gevent in pyinfra[1] for years and swear by it. Had some pains with setup, and am usually very wary of such magic, but it’s just really solid. Mostly write go these days though which has taken the shine off for sure!

Twisted, however, is a different beast. Have spent s decent chunk of time working on Matrix synapse homeserver[2], written in twisted, and oh my it just sucks.

I agree about 99% with this (I do have some numbers on a very short list that will absolutely raise as much noise as possible) but I think things like "silent notifications" and "vibra by default" will go against some people's KPIs. So there's nothing we can do about it since we all know KPIs are the only truth (TM)

I think you are thinking of Forbes opinion articles, which anyone can submit for. Forbes, like Business Insider, has no paywall and seems to have a low quality threshold. Fortune is still paywalled at over $200 per year after the trial year, while at Forbes an annual subscription is $50 for less ads. If you want to submit an article to Fortune you have to send a pitch to an editor.
I read it and it doesn't help much.

What helps with solving problems like math and algorithmic problems is to go through a lot of problems to see different patterns and strategies of solving problems. I'm talking about going through thousands of problems. That is very effective.
Recruiter head count got whacked. I hear back but weeks later. Summer vacations add lag time.
If they're that urgent, your process is poorly designed.
I picked gevent for a greenfield backend (in IoT/ML space) back in 2019. No regrets. The main contender was asyncio, which was the hot-new-thing at the time (still is, I guess). At the time, I did not feel that the ecosystem and programming practices for asyncio were good enough. That has of course matured a lot now, so it is no longer an issue. But I would actually still consider gevent again for a new project today. Possibly the asyncio web frameworks (ie FastAPI) have the edge over gevent-compatible (ie Flask) though, which might tip the scales.

I remember using Twisted some 10 years ago. Never again...
I did something similar but always tried to imagine things - shapes like cube, rotate it, move it around, slice it etc. - not easy.

I always found it odd you'd want to deprive yourself from excercising mind this way by medidating = practicing not thinking.

I believe it helped me a lot when programming and thinking about problems in general.

This magnetic thing saved my macbook from numerous falls when people tripped on the power cord.

It was ubiquitous, worked across the whole lineup and for several generations. It is hard to forget that until usb-c, it was commonplace for a manufacturer to have a wide range of power adapters, of varying voltage, power, connector, etc. Apple do their own shit, but they do it consistently.
There are all sorts of examples of this in the real world, because it's often not feasible to group everything you'd like into a single transaction.

As a trivial example, consider any interaction with a third party. Once you're into that territory, you're talking logs, asynchronous retry queues, compensating operations, etc.

Sometimes the surface area of your company's product gets so large that, in order to scale, you interact with other teams as if they were 3rd parties.

> one of my younger colleagues at the International Monetary Fund found it hard to get a good job in academia, despite holding a PhD from MIT’s prestigious economics department, probably because her work showed that trade liberalization had slowed the rate of poverty reduction in rural India. While theoretical papers showing that freer trade could have such adverse effects were acceptable, studies that demonstrated the phenomenon empirically were met with skepticism.

You don't automatically get a 'good job' because you've earned certain credentials. IMHO PhDs and other credentials are a dice roll and you could potentially work very hard on your studies for nothing. This is why people research their chosen profession before studying so that, at least, it wasn't all in vain, and even then, the job market could be swayed against you when you've completed your studies.

People also need to look out for credentialism where people are overqualified for positions, or that PhDs etc are not even needed. Sometimes a simple aptitude test can filter out people who will lose you money when you've employed them.

> Hiring out side the US when your exec team and related are all US based isn't as easy as just doing it. Language is hard to deal with

People talk about this, but really, U.S. companies can very easily hire from Canada, either through an employer of record (like Remote or Deel) or a PEO if they have several Canadian employees. They can also hire contractors and due to trade agreements don't have to deal with taxes at all (U.S. clients are even exempt from paying GST/HST that a Canadian contractor would typically have to charge otherwise). There are no more time zone issues than hiring remote U.S. and there's only a slightly higher chance of a language barrier (since Canada has a higher proportion of immigrants)

I wouldn't be surprised if this is affecting the U.S. market (and might be the only saving grace of the Canadian market which nonetheless is in dire straits right now).

Other than companies dealing with national security though, I don't see why US remote only would be a thing
Is there a process for figuring out how to do microservices “correctly” by your definition? It seems incredibly difficult to stay correct while requirements are being added.
Fraud. It's called fraud. Someone is defrauding the bank. The bank is the victim. However, the person whose identity was referenced by the criminal has nothing to do with the interaction. The criminal did not steal an identity. They stole money from a bank through fraud.
If someone understands your codebase without your sources and docs - you can bet that they will also understand it with the help of those. Usually better, if the docs have any value.

And this is kind of a valuable skill, considering how many coders don't understand their codebase even with docs.
In my corporate experience, casual usage of excel is in the cloud. Any large, complicated, or db-connected spreadsheet is done on local installations.

The list of what snacks people are bringing to the potluck is in excel online (or google sheets).

The excel sheet that is pulling information from a database, mashing it up, displaying it in a dozen different pivots... that is going to be local.
Fantastic summary.

1. Immorality of Caste => This debate needs to happen as to why caste is immoral. It did not happen in British times nor it is happening now. I am talking about discussing the more fundamental first principles to be considered. Even today it is mostly a dog-whistle at very superficial level.

2. Legal protection to caste system.

One new thing that has happened to Caste is that Indian constitution has offered special rights to certain castes. This has resulted into a competition to be part of certain castes and then use these special benefits which come at a cost of harm to other castes.

This indicates that Indian Constitution and Law subsidizes existence and discrimination based on caste and strengthens caste system. This also alters the fundamental properties of caste system that you enumerated. If constitution offers you special benefits for being a member of caste, you will assert that identity strongly as long as constitution is in force.

Part of the reason why caste does not matter for Indians in USA (in public matters) is because the law does not offer any discriminatory benefit hence you do not benefit from asserting your caste identity in public sphere. Proposed laws like SB403 by precisely aim to change it by create "caste groups" of "victims" and "oppressors" which then benefit (or get harmed) by their identity. Such groups can then be shepherded to support other political platforms that the leaders of these groups may own.
Everyone answered your question, but here's a specific situation - one of our prompts for GPT-4 is reliably around ~980 tokens. That's about 3 cents for the input alone, and the output is typically 2-3 chunks of the 8k context window (up to 24k).

That means I have to give the prompt up to three times (9 cents), receive up to 24k output tokens, then combine the chunks to get back roughly 8k tokens.

If fine tuning can reduce the input considerably, that's a cost savings. Further savings would come from getting access to the 32k context window which would enable me to skip chaining 3x 8k context prompts PLUS a summarization prompt.

So fine tuning and a 32k window both increase accuracy and decrease cost, if done correctly.
First, appeal.

Then if you are USA based, phone and letter contacts with your elected representatives. Ask them for help. Contact the FTC, and any federal administration that might be able to help.

Emojis in written text can lose their meaning in translation. Your intended meaning may not be what your audience understands, but I guess that’s inherent in most communication.

I had a bunch of russian coworkers once, and one of them would constantly type “)))” any time I asked him a question. I thought it was some weird cyrillic keyboard quirk and never paid it any mind, until I learned it’s the approximate russian equivalent for “lol.”

Didn’t know what to make of him after that. I guess he thought I was a moron.
> That should be immaterial, given it is asked simply to retrieve a fact.

How is the LLM supposed to recognize what a fact is?
True, a more useful diagnosis in such case is "I don't trust this person and I expect anything I say will be used against me". Am I qualified to determine that? I think I am.

The AI research environment has changed from the earlier default-open publication - unlike it's competitors, FAIR is still releasing model weights instead of serving the models behind an API.

> this is the equivalent of a kid licking a cookie so the others can't eat it.

More like the other kid baking a cookie with the words "Free
Cookie" on it so others can eat it if they are hungry, but can't sell it for money. It'd be foolish for FAIR to donate preconfigured homing-missiles to OpenAI and others via one-way tech transfer.
How close does such an accusation come to defamation?
That's exactly how I feel about it, you just put it in better words.

But when everything is urgent, nothing is.
Oh I looove this. I did this right after I quit Twitter. My mental health is streets ahead of where it used to be. Plus it's so much nicer to plan a call and do it over a reliable internet calling platform instead of the "phone".

If I had kids, maybe the "nothing is urgent" would be different, but I also know modern parents can't fathom the fact that I was never reachable during school, ever, and that was perfectly normal and fine.

Android let's you customize DND as well, so I don't even see new or existing notifications unless I swipe down. This means if I get my phone out to look something up, I'm not going to get distracted for 5 minutes.

Modern phones are a plague. Dates, parents, siblings, coworkers everyone seems to be oblivious to how often they will just drop out of a conversation midsentence because their phone buzzed or beeped. I just stop talking until they're done now, which inevitably makes them uncomfortable. Sorry, it's rude AF and I get tired of repeating myself.
Btw, KL divergence isn’t symmetrical. So D(P,Q) != D(Q,P). If you need a symmetrical version of it, you can use Jensen–Shannon divergence which is the mean of D(P,Q) and D(Q,P). Or if you only care about relative distances you can just use the sum.
You mean, if it was actually true?

I'd be happier if I didn't believe in global warming too.
My point about awe and wonder is that I don’t avoid the Rocky Mountains because they reinforce my friend’s beliefs about God. I should mention that it was a similar experience that he says convinced him of the existence of a god to begin with.
