There are countries in the world where being an atheist or being raped is punishable by death and plenty of people there cheer on.

Are any of these countries high developed and democratic?
Of course it is, even if the speech is no more nuanced than 'shut up and go away.'
Those competitors would still have to pay rent to the company that originally laid the fiber, for prices regulated by the government. The open access regulation ensures that all the additional services like

* whether it's easy to get to talk to a human on support

* whether there is TV streaming packages

* whether CGNAT is used or dedicated ipv4's are exposed

* whether there is ipv6 support

* upload and download speeds

* how much the service gets worse in the peak hours

etc, would be entirely decoupled from who invested into the last mile infrastructure. It would be prohibitively expensive (and wasteful) to require competitors to lay a second set of fiber cables next to the existing ones, because in the end it's all paid by the customers.
I searched "PCG Hash" and found this as part of a shader:

uint PCGHash()
{
rng_state = rng_state * 747796405u + 2891336453u;
uint state = rng_state;
uint word = ((state >> ((state >> 28u) + 4u)) ^ state) * 277803737u;
return (word >> 22u) ^ word;
}

This doesn't look like FNV or any other hash function I know.

Awesome tool thanks for sharing.
So there no difference between storming the national capitol because your candidate lost and you would rather violently overturn the election because you lost and a group protesting the injustices built into our society?

Nuance is important and if you want to say BLM and jan 6 are the same you are severely lacking it.
Your description is very vague but if you have a substantial source that goes into detail about whatever phenomenon it is you're describing then it might make a good submission on its own.
Can you elaborate on the document factory part?
If I could go back to the 70s and re-do my character creation, I'd put all my skill points into Charisma and would have been a CEO by now. Why bother with Comp Eng and business degrees if I could have instead just "be liked".
>because they don't understand anything at all about the world.

LLMs understand plenty, in any way that can be tested. It's really funny when i see making mistakes as the evidence of lack of understanding. Guess people don't understand anything at all too.

> I often see ChatGPT stumped by simple variations of brain teasers

Only if everything else is exactly as the basic teaser and guess what ? humans fall for this too. They see something they memorized and go full speed ahead. Simply changing names is enough to get it to solve it.
That’s some hard won wisdom there. Thanks for sharing
Sounds like we need a cultural shift away from governments involving themselves in parenting to governments ensuring parents have adequate time to parent.
Nice… hack.
This is a great discussion because...

Märklin C-track is sectional too, but has rather tight tolerances for assembly. There is no flex C-track. A computational method for solving parts lists and connection plans would be fantastic.

Currently people do it "by hand (virtually)" with a variety of apps, but that is labor-intensive.

Where is the combinatorial algebra?
I’m not sure if most people really think about it but they appreciate the attributes that come from this.

I had to take a trip when money was tight and got a netbook computer which had an HDD and l found out it wasn’t good to listen to music via BT headphones in my backpack or in the car because it would skip. Pop in an SSD and it is just as good as a phone for those things.

(Funny I met some young people who were quite amazed that you could plug a laptop into a car stereo but that’s exactly the problem with young people today, they always want to lecture an old geezer like me that “a phone is a phone and a computer is a computer, silly” like we’ve forgotten the first principle of computer science which Turing discovered and has bee re-proven by video game emulation that one computer is the same as any other computer.)
Don't forget "functions that do totally normal things now need to be rewritten as a hook".
django has a cookiecutter/stripe integrations I'm sure that should be pretty quick.

I live in Norway now (ex US)
(BTW: One of the world's biggest producers of oil and natural gas (fossile fuels))

It is a country with winters filled with slippery ice at least in the south,
and lots of steep hills up and down up and down.
The ER stats for broken hip bones and other injuries during the winter is high.

The ice is a much bigger factor than cold or snow when evaluating walking or biking

It is possible to bike all year round.
But very few people do it.
and I think for good reason.
I did it for 2 years and I am never doing it again.
Yes you can get studded bike tires and they help but no.

Politicians here keep talking about Norway as if we are Spain.
(With enough global warming from the fossile fuels produced perhaps?)
Let us be good for the environment and walk and bike everywhere.
Like they do in Amsterdam.

Meanwhile public transit in Oslo is good, and well used.
But the buses and trains are stuffed like sardins in a can.
during rush hours.

I wish they would stop spending major money on constructing bike paths
and allocating more and more of the road to bikes, and instead invest heavily
in improving and expanding public transit.
Since it is useful for nearly all of the population all year around.

Since Norway is investing heavily in EV busses, the trains are electric
as are the trams, increasing the number of busses, allowing people to breathe
in rush hour would not have any noticeable impact on emissions.

I would rather see many more lanes for public transit only than the same
space being built for bikes only.

With a population of 700.000, the capital Oslo,
seems at most 3.000 brave bikers during the winter.
(less than 0.5%)
This is easy to calculate since the city have signs
that measure the number of bikers that pass them
24h a day.

There is a Finish town that the newspapers like to
cover in how people ride their bikes there all year
around. Joensuu.

""Meet the bike-loving Finnish city that keeps pedaling even in the snow""

It is blessed by being flat, by having a youngish
population, and a consistently below freezing winter.
(Which means much less of an ice problem).

Even there only 7% ride their bikes in the winter.

Since Oslo will remain outstandingly non flat, and
be covered in ice during good parts of the winter,
I dont see the advantage of spending on bike
infrastructure over public transit.

It always boggles me how something like this evolves. Isn’t there a very long period (tens or hundreds of thousands of years) where it doesn’t look like the host termites at all? What selective pressures keep it evolving until it looks exactly like the host species?

Also why would rove beetles be better at this than others, like the army ant example? Do they just have an extra-evolutionary ability to mimic?
The story I told myself while reading this article: "Wartime founder thought he wanted to retire, brings in solid peacetime CEO. Founder decides peacetime isn't best for company, and comes back to turn it back into a startup."

Not dissimilar from the early Steve Jobs story at Apple.
Thanks a ton! And that’s a great question!

Before starting this project, I realised that while there are a ton of resources that talk about using these models for chat inference and QnA over documents — no one did a good job of stress-testing them on sample complexity.

We all know that LLMs have the power of generalisability but how do they actually compare to the likes of BERT and Distilbert that have become household names in the world of NLP. Can these LLMs compare with them on tasks beyond chat? Like classification, Named entity recognition, etc?

If you go over to a model folder, let’s say Flan or Falcon, you will notice that the README has a rich documentation of our research findings. This, I guarantee you, you won’t find anywhere else. Additionally, the inference section has a good study of how these models fare when the number of requests go up, and the associated costs.

I will end by saying that a lot of people and repositories are just riding the wave of the buzz surrounding LLMs without answering a lot of questions that data scientists and ML engineers actually have. And those questions (4 pillars of evaluation framework) are necessary to answer for enterprises to build software. Not just slap together a chat interface, and then calling a revolutionary product.
Those posters are almost certainly plastered up by someone who genuinely believes in the cause. They have been manipulated by corrupt media, but it is a tactical error to assume that a political party is directly paying for such poster campaigns.
I don't think most atheist care, really.

Most atheist are agnostics who decided they will not arbiter if one religion is more right than other, at least that's my case and most atheist I've discussed with.

I like rites (catholic funeral and Muslim marriage would be my perfect combo) and I enjoy talking spirituality and belief systems with people who believe in one more god than I do. I think Shintoism led to the most interesting discussions in general, but Jehovah's witnesses are the most consistent ones (also I always take so much of their time and they're too polite to tell me to stuff it, I always feel bad after).

Do you live in a place that regularly reaches 100 degrees in the summer? No amount of shade or water is going to be enough to persuade me to go outside at 5pm, much less commute home on a bike.
Your company will give you 25gbit bandwidth on a VPN?
I actually agree with that. To me it looks like a "crime" without victims.

Yeah it is disgusting, but who is suffering or being molested or abused here?
They look at how you drive. How far you drive, how often you drive, when you drive, how quickly you brake/accelerate, how often you're on your phone, etc. Based on all those factors - they give you a discount relative to what they'd charge normally.

I can say that's true because their rate was already less than competitors, so it's not like they were charging a higher rate and then 'discounting' back to normal.
What's the difference between a "problem" and a "research area"?

Research areas are made of problems to solve.
I have received a lot of great feedback. We are moving fast to add instructions of how to load your custom dataset, and how to choose prompts to give researchers a finer-level of control.

On a separate note, I have received a few questions about the value-add of this repository. Here is my take and my vision for this repository:

I am, with many optimizations eg dynamic batching, tensorrt, but most important is batch size > 1 -- cheating a little bit in the comparison ;).

batch size 1 is more like 200 tok/s, still a very large improvement. the reason why this is still an interesting comparison is that it's comparing consumer hardware vs scaled datacenter setups. datacenter setups are much more efficient in large part because they are designed to process many inputs at once, fully utilizing the hardware. there are advantages to scale in inference, for the gpu-rich.

Elite College Students Are Doing It to Themselves
I biked to work every day for 4 years in Whitehorse, Yukon. (~61 deg North). It was -40 for a couple of months a year, plenty of ice.

Whitehorse actually has the highest rate of bike commuters of anywhere in Canada, though that is likely just because everyone there is nuts about the outdoors.

Studded tires were great, and I loved riding. It was more fun in the winter than summer.
the 'simulated usage' page is neat, apparently made with nuxt
Counterexample: a dozen (+1, 0) tiles followed by a dozen (-1, 0) tiles. Vector sum is fine, total angle is fine, but at each end you have an impossible 180 deg connection. I don’t think you can get away from local measures of tension with a global look.
Zapatistas have around 30 years and they seem to be very close to Anarchism, Rojava has 10 years of democratic confederalism which is Libertarian socialism and let's say fairly close to Anarchism.

If you are writing functions that do totally normally things as hooks, you are indeed doing it wrong.

Hooks are for stateful code.
There is a certain self-prophecy in sports medicine specialists finding that sport is beneficial to all-and-sundry. Not that it isn't true at large - "fitness = wellness" - but there's so much unspoken nuance. After all, the playing of video games has been linked to happiness and mental acuity, too.

If a person is thoroughly depressed in an office all day, does putting them on a treadmill (but having all else remain the same) change their life for the better? Sure, I suppose, but some might argue it'd be a fairly incremental improvement, and if the myriad concerns driving their depression are valid, then the treadmill won't address them.

Take that same amount of physical activity, and translate it to the context of a social activity with other people, and I suspect the readings would drastically differ again (from the desk+treadmill scenario).

How much of the mental benefit is coming from the social aspect vs the physical aspect? how much from the context surrounding the activity?

I'm sure I sound overly cynical, but I do agree with the findings. I just think that the finding "Doing Things sucks less than Doing Nothing & Being Sad" is a bit of a self-evident truth.
This is not a useful or constructive statement. I haven’t worked in child protection, is there something you’d like to teach me?
But it's also easier than ever to be vegetarian in exactly all those same places. Whole grain products are everywhere. We've got more stuff like pasta made with vegetables or beans or the like, and we have vegan restaurant dishes and snack food options.

I would say it's actually a lot easier than eating meat, because meat doesn't keep for long unless it's frozen, and is very expensive if you want anything high quality and ethically sourced.

Low sodium is still hard though.
Labor theory of value is literally just an argument that labor is the historical source of wealth. The terminology here is specific and intentional.

Next, Marxists recognize 2 central forms of value:

Use value is abstract, but not subjective.

Exchange value is contextual.

That's it. That's what you need to argue with, instead of your ridiculous straw men above.

Additionally, it can hardly be stressed enough how unimportant labor theory of value is for Marxism as a whole.
> Anyone from Norway know what they're doing for walking and cycling that isn't in the article?

It's not "they", it's winter. If you don't move, you're frozen. And soon dead. So no EV - have to walk. Or cycle. Or public transport.
You don’t appear to be able to say anything helpful about what “model” means in this discussion. The only explicit claim you made (that they were different because they would have been implanted in a womb for a week already) was incorrect. Some would likely have been implanted for a day.
[Disclosure: I'm an engineer at Wikimedia involved with this project]

Wikimedia hasn't actually formally launched or announced this project. We've been working on it in the background for a long time, and we've just recently reached the point of wanting to do a slightly-broader round of both beta-testing the service and soliciting other meta-feedback on the plans with our Wikipedia editor and reader communities.

Unfortunately, the only way we can do this testing and feedback round is through a public interface like meta-wiki. And of course, once we've put out public information on how to use and access it, it's being picked up on various social media and news sites and publicized beyond what we desired at this stage. We knew that was a risk, but it's still a little jarring how fast it has shown up in places like this HN thread.

We absolutely plan to have a published privacy policy and other such things in place when the service is actually, officially launched. Launching some time in the future is not yet certain to even happen, as there is still internal evaluation/debate of the project's various costs and risk/benefit going on during this phase as well.

That's not a cabinet maker, that's a handyman basically.

When I said people should go work for a cabinet shop and make $60k+, I meant in a place that's making medium to high grade cabinets, custom hopefully or atleast to spec for track homes at worst.

What you're describing is somebody modifying mass produced cabinets from a catalog and installing them.

The installers I know all make $80k+ a year if they do work you're not embarrassed about.
I would hope so. Imagine only focusing on making really good plastic bricks for 53 years. There have probably been a lot of technological advancements over time that have let them make more bricks more precisely.
Blah blah blah yes yes I know what the GC positions are. The fact remains that being treated as the gender I want to be treated as and updating my hormone profile and getting surgery to align with that has taken away all of my social anxiety and body image issues, and that this is a widely reported phenomenon that has been well-studied over decades. Now whether as a matter of public policy you think we should have cruelty inflicted upon us or not is a separate question, but if you want to be cruel at least be honest about it.

> There is no gender

This is just plainly false. Gender is the social projection of sex, just like a shadow is a projection of an object onto a plane. When you are making claims like "[e]ach of us is born to a sex that is immutable", you are defining and setting up a system of gender.

There is no escape from gender because we live in a society. You don't get to say "there is no shadow". You cannot simply define it away like that.

> But they should not falsely claim the category of a biological sex that is not theirs

There is no falsehood going on, just a different way to set boundaries. One that is better because it leads to greater justice.

> Each of us is born to a sex that is immutable.

This depends entirely on your definition of sex. You have chosen to define sex to mean gametes. I have a different, more expansive definition that also includes sex characteristics. My definition is better than yours because it leads to greater justice in the world.

> The belief that gender exists, or that we have a gender identity that somehow infused the wrong body, is a profoundly religious idea. And by the same token, ungrounded in fact.

What you call religion, I call the massive weight of decades of medical science: https://medicine.yale.edu/lgbtqi/research/gender-affirming-c...

If you do not believe in the legitimacy of transgender identities, it is you who are choosing bigoted religiosity over actual science.
Hanlon's razor would suggest more likely its not malice, but the problem with Apples smart devices having mutual "we know the UUID of this chipset" problems and changing the bits has stopped it being prepared to run. Apple have some reset mechanism, which they are meant to share with authorised repair units, but it's costly (as I understand it) and basically they use price as a forcing function to make you go to an Apple store. Usually, this is about replacement parts for iPhones and iPads but I see no reason why a Studio Display wouldn't have the same internal logistics.

Unfortunately for you, we live in the world where "socialist" anything is the work of evildoers in the minds of many older Americans. So you're going to have to choose a different word if you want to be not only understood but also to avoid reflexive contrarianism.

May I suggest "Overton window?" It's scientistic enough that you could overload it to your use of "socialist" here. E.g., "We need to shift the Overton window to include C suite diversification." You won't get instead comprehension. But you'll at least get heads nodding instead of old grumps yelling their fears at you.
So the issue is hierarchical structure - solution to that is to have horizontal decision making with delegates (not representatives) and no salary for any union member for the work for the union. Anarchists trade unions usually operate like that.
