Figma existed before WASM was enabled in browsers so clearly that's not true. They claim WASM improved their load times by 3x, which is a lot, but enough to make the difference between viable and not? I doubt it.
For me, playing guitar. When I was grinding through problems sets in undergrad in my room, I’d have my guitar in my hand running scales or whatever to keep my hands busy. Now I do something similar while watching TV. The best teacher I had told me that his teacher told him when he started out that “the best way to get good at guitar is to watch a lot of baseball games”
Copyright is a property right. It is not unreasonable for theft of property to carry the possibility of criminal charges. This is not strictly done in service of big media---if organized crime rings come in to town and do a ton of rogue hookups with impunity, then the cable company leaves and you have a cycle of degradation in the quality of life. Preventing organized crime is why it is a federal offense. Of course, the judicial system ought to utilize its authority with discretion so as not to severely punish simple petty thefts. Also note that cable theft (e.g., the physical tampering element) can damage emergency communication lines and can create dangerous electrical problems.

Consider modern use of energy vs ancient, and the ancients couldn't imagine our factories, power plants, data centers, etc. Now consider the crazy compression of energy in the conversation to LED lighting.

In the future, we might use a lot of energy for the we cannot imagine today.

In the future, we might stop using every the way we do today.

In the future, we may produce and consume substantial energy in places other than earth's surface.

In the future, the concept of energy itself might be different, much like people couldn't imagine the type of energy involved in nuclear fission.
I said liquid :-). Might be just your credit card limit.
I'd say that the CPU example actually proves the point.

A computer today costs roughly the same as a computer in the 1980s, and it also consumes roughly the same amount of energy as a computer from that era. We got faster computers because we got better at making transistors.

If we look at laptops, a device which consumes 200W already gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable to actually place on your lap. A 1kW desktop computer is pretty much impossible to cool.

At our current population, those 5 million exajoules a year is a constant power consumption of roughly 16 megawatt per person. For comparison, that's about the same magnitude of energy you'd need for every human to launch a Falcon 9 to eat lunch in the ISS. Once figures get this big, you simply run out of things to do.
we can (and do) radiate heat into space already. there's a specific infrared wavelength that passes out of our atmosphere unimpeded.

building things which receive sunlight but which emit IR at this wavelength would have a cooling effect, though I don't know to what scale.

no need to pump anything up to space, lol. just put hot stuff inside vessels which are painted with a material which radiates heat at this specific wavelength.

As soon as the DA got the letter from their only witness stating that no crime occurred (unless they thought Comcast was lying then, which doesn't seem very possible in this scenario), they would have been obligated by Model Rule 3.8(a) to discontinue the prosecution.

The company was last valued at $20B so they are doing something right.

They are using WebGL. Using WebGL from WebAssembly has some nice advantages; with Wasm you can use languages that are more accommodating to the sort of densely-packed data that you need to send to GPU buffers.

Here’s an interview I did with a raster graphics editor that touches on why they use Wasm for GPU. https://digest.browsertech.com/archive/browsertech-digest-ho...
But...they did that, with Llama 2, and apparently did get better results, at least up to a point.

My big WTF is, if you're feeding the same amount of data through all of them, then to use the same amount of compute for the smaller models you need to run multiple epochs (with the same data). One thing that's always bothered me a bit about "foundation model" LLM training is that it sounds like traditionally they essentially just run a single epoch, and with stochastic gradient descent that's certainly leaving something on the table, probably a lot (and also introduces a lot of path-dependence on the order in which data is presented, what with the cosine learning rate rules).

I really want to know what would happen if, like in smaller models where we can actually get there (convnets for ImageNet classification, e.g.), we ran enough epochs on each of these models to hit the point where validation loss started increasing even as test loss decreased. It seems like we're always squarely in the realm where they're still both decreasing, so everything is severely undertrained, even given the available datasets. It's easy to come up with "laws" for that regime, but they mean nothing other than that we don't have enough compute to properly handle the data.

Big takeaway: if the results from this article are legit, it would suggest that we should really be looking at even smaller models, wouldn't it? And actually be training them to the "risk overtraining" point?

What you are saying is true for a naive C compiler.

Once you want to optimize or analyse, things become more complicated.

> Compare that to, say, Rust, which would be pretty painful to single-pass compile with all the non-local behavior around traits.

Type inference also spans a whole function, so you can't do it in a single pass through the code. (But it's still tamer than in eg Haskell, where type inference considers your whole program.)

> That is the power of solidarity: when the high profile actors say they'll go on strike to get AI banned, their voice will be heard

If you think there is a world possible where there is a working AI generating technology that can produce good results, but it's banned because some high profile actors wanted it so, you are delusional. It's like saying cars would be banned because most prominent stable owners and horse breeders would object to that. It just not something that can happen. If that technology would exist and would be feasible financially, that's what would happen. If that'd require moving production to Mexico or Shanghai or Nauru, that's what would happen. No amount of striking would change that. It may delay it a tiny bit and give some (mostly very rich) people a tiny bit of a longer run, since some big movies rely on star power and need big names to push the marketing, but you can't just pretend the technology doesn't exist if it does.

I was at a pub recently where they had a full kitchen but no waiters. You had to line up around the bar, catch the attention of one of the super busy barmen, yell your food and drink order, pay up, then they prep your drink and give you a buzzer that will eventually tell you to go grab your food yourself at the kitchen window.

They had the guts of slapping a mandatory service tip on the bill and the machine asked for an extra tip. I was wondering what service I was actually paying for...

At this point of mal-service, I'd take an automated machine.. could not be worse really.

Or yes, avoid the experience altogether.
If you've ever been to Las Vegas, you'd know this is not that kind of bar. It's more comparable to a concession stand at a ballgame.
How many times have you seen a prosecutor sanctioned under 3.8? Believe me, I have tried and tried to get prosecutors cited under it. I know prosecutors who flat-out commit felonies and the State won't do anything. Is there evidence that any prosecutor ever has been brought up on this Rule?

And I don't think just because the only witness states no crime occurred that the prosecutor will drop the charges. I would say in at least 50% of domestic battery cases the complainant will call the prosecutor at some point and tell them that no crime happened and please can they let the defendant out of jail. In almost zero cases this happens, in my experience. Normally they run it all the way to trial and sit there holding up the court waiting for the no-show witness to turn up before the judge acquits.

Constant percentage economic growth is possible indefinitely because the economy is made up.

It’s like saying “you can’t imagine a bigger number than I can.” A person can always imagine a bigger number, and the marginal cost of doing so is merely what is necessary to store the larger number in a ledger.
> I don’t think this actually works in reality, as many EA examples have shown.

Can you give some examples of this failing? Naively many examples of things improving that i know of were either very boring bureaucratic endeavors or required heavily involvement in bureaucracy. The Clean Air and Water Act, the FDA, the Civil Rights Act, all required people at the level of government or some other large social group to organize and plan things and make them happen. And thus you need people with the specific area knowledge and group connections in that area to make those things happen.

Or is this a mis-reading of your claim?
> And somehow I have ended up with a very strong bias against DSLs.

Most DSLs are bad, partially because most people are bad at designing languages.

Embedded DSLs can be quite neat. Eg Haskell makes it easy to embed something like DSLs inside your Haskell code.

(If you squint a bit, the ability to define your own functions in any language goes in that direction of allowing you to define your own mini-sub-language that handles your problem better. Haskell (and the Lisps) just dial that kind of approach up to 11.)

it is possible to have exponential growth with a brief period of financial crash/recession, when prices reset to previous bottoms and exponential growth continues (boom&bust cycle).

For those curious, 9.7 g/cm^3 would roughly match the densities of Thulium (9.321), Bismuth (9.807), Moscovium (>9.807), Lutetium (9.84), or Lawrencium (>9.84). Several of those are short-lived radioactive elements, however.

Going up the scale slightly are Actinium (10.07), Molybdenum (10.22), and Silver (10.501). (That last is noted in the subhead of the article.)

My suspicion is that there's possibly a core of Lead (11.342) or Thorium (11.72) (both fairly abundant on Earth, and stable), though Mercury (13.5336) and Tungsten (19.25) give some interesting possibilities, surrounded by a crust (or ocean) of less-dense materials.

Oh, and surface temperature is ~1,200°C.

Top comment from that post:

> In this case, there are 4 bugs. One causes N++ to write 1 to 3 bytes past the end of a buffer, the other bugs cause N++ to read some bytes past the end of heap objects, even the researchers aren't sure how they could be exploited.

> While it's good they're fixed, it looks pretty much like what you get running code in a fuzzer with ASan enabled - finding obscure and very difficult to exploit memory correctness bugs. Unless a miracle happens and those 3 bytes can be made to belong to some very important structure, there's not much can be done with control of those 3 bytes.

I was one of the Kickstarter backers of this, with my purchase/commitment happening on October 19, 2013.

Gabe (the guy making the oscilloscope watch) sent updates every few days for the first month or so, then roughly monthly into 2014, then a few times in 2015, then a pause, and then a few updates in late 2018 and early 2019. After that, it was radio silence for over four years until July 30th of this year, announcing that the devices were actually going to ship.

To say I never expected to actually get the watch after, say, 2015 would understate things considerably. In fairness, I still have yet to actually receive it.

Unless you don't use the DOM at all for UI for web apps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34612696

Saturdays are frequently spent with me watching sports and my wife puttering in the kitchen a few feet away. I’ll pop in to help with retrieving ingredients or prepping later steps so things are ready when she needs them but it’s her way to decompress after the work week. It can certainly be an all day affair though.

Mid-week meals involve one of us prepping steps during the day depending on who has free time at the right moment. We do the final steps together while catching up on each other’s day. Maybe an hour of total prep time but usually less than half of that time requires active involvement.
This link provides a tiny bit more info about her possible treatment as a "experimental nucleoside treatment", so this is going to involve zinc.

Another question I have not see asked is why isnt a kidney transplant an option?

This might be linked to the condition, but not knowing what is up with her makes it difficult to comment, plus the courts et al have already "anonymised" her as ST, so I dont see why the condition should be hidden unless this is a courts way of accepting there actually isnt any anonymity.

Either way without knowing her condition, how can the public even know if she is getting the right treatment from the NHS. A mitochondria disease is like saying a respiratory condition.
