It's licensed non-commercially, so I'm not sure what those startups stand to gain.

> since, very soon, amd will equal nvidia for inference and fine-tuning

Source? If you're referring to Olive, it is indeed impressive but also has caveats:

1. It is just as proprietary as CUDA or CoreML.

2. You need a copy of Windows and licensed DirectX to use those optimizations.

3. AMD only matches Nvidia's inferencing performance when comparing Olive to Pytorch. Olive-to-Olive comparisons will still reflect an Nvidia lead.

I don't think AMD has the capability to equal Nvidia in the short-term. It will take longtime software investments from across the industry to shake Nvidia's yoke.
I actually think it's unreasonable, and it never used to be required for a domestic flight. If you had a ticket, you could get on the plane. Same as trains and buses still work at least in most places.
I probably should have followed up on the sibling comment rather than this.

I think that following a Twitter or TicToc channel is getting much less information than from mass media. Most do even less follow up or question what the source politician says.

Yes books pamphlets discussions are better but social media in general is none of these it is worse than mass media. Yes there are some blogs that do more but that is rare but that is blogs where you write a thousand words which is not normal social media.
Its not that the ball wants things. Its own gravity and its behavior toward the gravity of other objects is just a result of what it is: a cluster of protons and neutrons and electrons in a given radius.
It is also plausible that since these businesses are unlikely to have their own software development capability, they outsource the job to providers that are experienced at bringing up e-commerce sites and simply apply a project template without much thought.
No, she just changed her approach to clutter. From her books and watching the show, it seems like her brand of decluttering was an expression of her values.
Parenthood changed me for the better, and relaxing a bit about clutter seems like a healthy move. It's okay to change.
You could also use 0 chips and create an app that does the same thing.
IIRC earlier versions of bitlocker would rely upon SSD firmware implementations for drive encryption. They stopped doing that when it was revealed many of these hardware encryption systems in common drives didn't actually work.
For a strictly increasing array, assuming the branch predictor always predicts correctly (guesses taken), the CPU does not have to wait for the test to resolve (v > maxV) before it executes the assignment (maxV = v). So effectively the CPU is just running

maxV = v
maxV = v
maxV = v
maxV = v

over and over (with tests running in parallel as well, but those matter less, because they are mostly just "checking" whether the branch predictor guessed correctly.).

Then, in that above sequence, there is no /read/ of maxV after each write, so there is no true data dependency. (We don't need to wait for the last write to finish before we write again, unlike the read after write case.)

They are taking responsibility for their own safety by choosing not to accept cash. But the consequences of being killed because you are carrying cash is a lot greater than worrying about the man tracking you....
Curious, what led you to adjusting the parameters this way? Also, have you guys experimented with ALiBi[1] which claims better extrapolative results than rotary positional encoding?

Indeed. If the menu bothers you, better hope you don't catch a glimpse of the kitchen.
I recently saw an advertisement for a comedy show that would let you bring your smart phone but required that it be stored in a pouch that prevented use. If you really need it, there would be "stations" available where the pouch could be removed. I assume that once the show ended there would also be a massive line to unlock and remove these pouches.

As opposed to, say, a paper ticket and requiring people to leave their phones at home. Is that really such an outlandish request?

In my anecdotal experience, it's simply no longer cool to smoke, at all, in fact very much the opposite.

I smoked for about 10 years between the mid 80s and 90s. When I started, most of the 'cool', 'sophisticated' etc people seemed to smoke. When I stopped, it was mostly a health choice, but partly because it seemed no longer 'cool', everyone I knew had given up or was trying to.

I can't even fathom why anyone would start smoking now, it seems like an affliction of the poor and/or the old rather than anything sophisticated.

All of this is mostly a change in fashion, people having a deeper awareness of the health risks, becoming aware of tobacco industry manipulation, etc. No doubt government messaging aided and supported that change, but it is not the only or even the main cause imho.

I didn’t have any background knowledge on this so started looking on Wikipedia. It looks like Chicago has one of the largest Chinatowns so I started there. You can read about its origin in the history section https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown,_Chicago. From what I’ve read, it appears it was people primarily from China. Do you have any information about Chinatowns being formed by other Asian cultures?

The point of using number sorting for this paper is that its

A) difficult to impossible for an LLM to do in a single pass
B) easy to verify the correctness.

In general, the point isn't finding things that only an LLM can do, but find things that LLMs can do with decent results at lower cost than getting a human to do it.
No one's talking about banning anything. They're just talking about providing options that satisfy everyone's preferences.

Many of the things in the GP comment are idiotic or wrong at very basic levels, so it's possible the "denying science" comments have a root in truth.

It's something completely different if you don't seem to understand the blood is transmitted through the UC and the concern around it being wrapped around the neck has nothing to do with the respiratory system, or that asking if a pregnant patient is safe at home is completely routine and happens in 100% of cases.

Looks like it's gonna be in the 80's today. So whew.
you are:

a) a hardware vendor nvidia/amd whose products are needed by anyone in the game

b) you have a captive customer base already ( microsoft, salesforce, servicenow, adobe) to whom you can sell ai/ml value adds

c) you make money via ads (google facebook) and ai/ml helps with better targeting

everyone else is pissing away VC money.
Effort is over-rated and with "mere" creativity and taste you can get very satisfying results by cutting and pasting fragments of magazines (or fragments of vanilla internet photos.) Halle and Bill included.
> But the consequences of being killed because you are carrying cash is a lot greater than worrying about the man tracking you....

You're not Batman's parents, you're just a regular person, no one cares what you have in your pockets. It's honestly baffling to me that someone could believe this is a valid assessment of real-life risk.
You described any business going south where the incumbent insiders know that and future investors do not. As long as the company sells some sort of real product and earns revenue, even if it's lying about how much or the quality of that product, it's not a Ponzi. What makes a Ponzi is money from investors is the only money at all. There is no actual investment being made, not even bad ones.
> Why do you get to impose "consequences" for my life choices?

I'm not "imposing" anything. We are both making choices that fit our own priorities.

> Why can you make the choice to require an app to pay for your parking lot depriving me from the ability to pay in cash —affecting my positive freedom of movement—, while I however must calibrate my life choices so they "don't affect" you?

We are both making choices. I am choosing not to do business with you on the terms that you find acceptable and you are choosing not to do business with me. Should I also accept pesos in the US because you don't want to exchange your pesos for dollars?
Well you will boot the laptop but still have to get past the login screen. Intercepting the key permits to read/write whatever you want on the disk, and thus backdoor the OS (as he does).
I agree and so far I think it's picks and shovels all the way down. Most of the "AI" companies I see sell tooling, often to "help your AI team work faster|better|spend less time doing x|whatever. It all presupposes there are end uses, which are few and far between, certainly almost none are being sold. AI is still in the hype mode of companies having internal budget to "invest in AI" and so that's who the AI companies are targeting, as opposed to actually making products that do something. See also blockchain wallet companies.

PS - I'm optimistic about AI, but it's important to be realistic about the current state of the industry
The modules system is for better encapsulation and the ability to produce a JVM without features you don't need.

The big cost is training with large chunks and you pay that regardless how large the chunks that you feed the model later are. At inference time you only pay what you use.

I think the context length is not a parameter of the model in the sense that it is set to a particular value but it is just the size of the chunks you feed in during training. The model will only ever be able to learn relationships within that length. In that sense it is an implicit property of the model.

At inference time you can well query the model with chunks larger than what it was trained with and it will answer without a blink. You just cannot expect the answers to contain meaningful information beyond the length the model was once trained with.
> Why should the world bend to your desires?

Why are you asking this? The OP just stated their view.
They stated battery drain being an issue and that they dislike the requirement to have a phone on you at all times. I can relate to that especially with the size and weight of today's phones. There is also the issue of being locatable.

> "I don't want to inconvenience myself by having to have my phone. But I don't mind if others are inconvenienced by being required to have a credit card"

They never said they want others to be required to have a credit card. You are making this up. Why don't companies accept both?
1. Not all cellphones are smartphones, and not all smartphones are capable of running a given app

2. Presumably a debit card on the same network would work just as well. What’s the credit + debit card penetration rate?
I remember I tried to make a modular full-bit adder with NPN transistors, diodes and resistors. I was a bit foolish expecting NPN transistors to act as simple switches and I was in way over my head. But I learned a lot, since I went from this is a logic gate to can we build this as a circuit to holy f*ck this is actually how people did it. A very interesting project
As a front-end lead and long time game programmer, I've been using copilot at work and home since it was invite-only. This assessment isn't accurate, at least in my case. Copilot mostly:

- Writes the same code (often verbatim) I was about to write, often multiple lines of it. "Ok, next I'll loop over the rigidbodies and apply the force to the ones in range- oh look the loop is already there"

- Gives me some API calls I didn't know about, much easier than finding a stackoverflow post. There's generally not much enlightenment to be had diving deep into the formatting of java.date or some such - if I just want to format a date and move on, it's awesome being able to type a comment "//format the date as.." and get the code. The IDE will yell at me right away if it gave me something deprecated, and I'll hover over the unfamiliar bits it put there anyway to make sure everything is sensible.

- Solves the small problem I'm looking at in a way I didn't think of, or even alerts me to an error in my thinking frequently enough - "Why is it doing that? Oh yeah, I really should've done that.."

My codebases haven't suffered, and I'm still diligent to keep them maintainable, well-tested, and fundamentally sound.

Overall, it speeds things up a lot and frees mental space for me to think about the big picture more. I generally understand the code being put out just as well as any other code I've written - be honest, you don't read a book on every API call you copy from Stack Overflow. The beauty of a good abstraction is that we generally don't have to.

If anything I think it's helped me become a better programmer over the past year, elevating the mental level of abstraction I work at somewhat.

I can see what you said being a problem for somebody just starting out though. And as the author said (and I found trying to learn Rust with Copilot on) it can even be an annoying distraction in that case.

As an aside, copilot and gpt have certainly degraded lately with hallucinations way up (copilot chat has been extra disappointing lately), maybe to save server costs. Could be why we're seeing more negative sentiment.
This is the right way, only I would reword it to “I want to visit your museum but I’m unable to use the app due to disability, would you mind taking cash or debit?”.

The other people working for my employer created that environment. The shareholders who own pieces of it didn't do that.
It's only efficient for the company. I have to fill a bunch of forms instead of handing someone money and getting a ticket.
I think I addressed that in the next sentence. Doing an image search using a real image and deciding whether the fake image you find is good enough for your fantasy is already more complicated process than getting two images (one of your fantasy and the real one with the actress) and having AI synthesize them together.

Or maybe you need to be more specific how do you imagine people would use the technology.
I found that the "old fashioned" is often faster actually, because most people are in the "QR queue" and the "old fashioned queue" tends to have much fewer people. Plus, I don't need to create an account, unsubscribe from their marketing emails, get twice-yearly ToS update emails, and stuff like that, so I'll save annoyance on that too.
You are talking about most obvious hallucinations such as inventing a non-existent API.

However, those are indeed trivial. What's not trivial is not using APIs that exist for your particular problem; using obsolete patterns; not recognising that a particular approach is a dead end; not recognising potential future problems. All those problems fall in the same bucket of not knowing what you don't know, yet having a (seemingly fine) solution, which is worse than not having a solution, because that would force you to go and figure things out yourself (presumably reading recent documentation, etc).

I recognise that some people approached programming in the same way before LLMs, copying stuff from SO and adjusting till it works without ever understanding what they're doing. I guess LLMs can be seen as a neat extension of that "learning style" (which btw is precisely what OP warns against), but it does seem somewhat dysfunctional.
>There’s a good reason to never go above 70fps: human perception experts tend to agree that our visual system gives us quickly diminishing returns above 60fps, we can’t really see things any faster than that

No. Please don't spread this nonsense rumor. It hasn't ever been true and still isn't.

There are always diminishing returns, but human vision is perfectly capable of noticing the difference between 60 and say, 120. You can literally try this yourself just moving your mouse around on a 120Hz monitor and then capping the refresh rate. In general human vision is really complicated and not tied to any specific "speed".

Also, displays are more complicated. There isn't just a refresh rate, there's differing pixel responses at differing brightness and a variety of different processing delays all the way from the moment you put in some hardware input (like the mouse), to the final result. It's a huge chain.

The end result is that two 120hz displays can behave completely differently in terms of motion clarity.
