That's intriguing. But what I want to see is if that one example can change the whole web of knowledge previously established. So, for example, if we finetune the model with a sentence like "Scientists discovered that a type of antigen can make a host immune to HIV" will it then be able to infer that "mRNA vaccines are a valid preventive approach to AIDS since they may be able to express a type of resistance known to make hosts immune to HIV"?
Many large companies open their wallets to buy hardware (and software) that comes with guaranteed long term support.

You understood the opposite of what I wrote. What I'm saying is that people who are ultra-rich are not selling out because they want more money, but rather because of threats, extortion and such shadowy pressures. Combined with money. The carrot and the stick.

Some Impressions About Go (2020)
The last time I checked, cell companies produced custom android builds for the phone on their networks.

Presumably, they’ll just factory/ota install the malicious certificates.
Huh. I was supporting myself by buying cheap NE2000 clones and doing installs for students wanting onto the campus Ethernet. It took me a while to figure out the first one, but after that the DOS-mode packet drivers and Winsock were a lot less finicky than Win95's. 95 always wanted you to clear IP assignments, reboot, then assign the (static) IP you were supposed to have. Then reboot again for it to take effect. And it rarely seemed to work the first time you did that process.

With most non-new PC's being a bit anemic for 95 at the time, especially all the disk activity, I was happy on 3.11 for several more years. I tried 95B on my 486-66, but was never really happy with the performance. I was happy with packet drivers on the campus network and the wonderful ETHERPPP package that did all the dial, connect, handshake stuff and then emulated a packet driver if I was stuck needing dialup (which, considering I was still using a 14.4k modem because I had no need for dialup speed most of the time, was not ideal). You could use the NCSA Telnet (+ ftp, etc.) software for DOS, and seamlessly start using Winsock in Windows (or native TCP/IP with WfW 3.11) without a reboot.

But I'm sure that built-in, especially for dialup, was far easier for ISP's to support.
> It seems their current top-of-the-line core is on par with an A72 or A77

Their current core, the P870 (the subject of the post we are commenting on) is on par with Cortex X2, announced just over 2 years ago in May 2021.

A76 class was the P550, announced in June 2021, 3 years after the A76's May 2018 announcement.

A72 class was their U84, back in October 2019, 4 1/2 years after the A72's February 2015 announcement.

The time gap has been coming steadily down.

All of these cores, both Arm and SiFive, take about four years to get into cheap mass produced catalog part chips and boards e.g. the A76 RK3588 just started appearing in SBCs around May 2022. A72 to Pi 4 was 4 1/2 years.

I assume there is a value metric that balances quantity with quantity that may be exploitable in our mid-gains period of understanding the tech behavior -- meaning potential gains from synthetic data. That said, I also expect no-free-lunch to kick in at some point, and synthetic data doesn't always pay attention to the data generating process for outliers.

People don't know and don't know to care.

Is there anything in particular you disagree with in Null's rationale for permitting this?

Here's his argument:

> There's no law against posting numbers.

> There are some instances where humiliation fetishes intentionally hold up government id (including ssn cards) while wearing diapers.

> https://kiwifarms.st/threads/sean-miller-sean-russel-miller-...

> If he did the same with credit cards, I'd also probably permit that. I don't know how I'm expected to say "oh you're posting ridiculous stuff online but because a plastic card with numbers on it is featured, I won't permit that to be published". It just doesn't make sense logically. There are plenty of public records that feature sensitive information, mostly court documents.

> The law is specifically regarding facilitating financial crimes. If someone posts FIN and then encourages people to use that maliciously, that would be deleted. If someone posts that they've already used it maliciously, I think we'd just publicly ban that user and retain the post. It makes less sense to delete evidence of a crime than to retain it so that the proper legal mechanisms can react to it.

> So in short, numbers are the same as names and addresses and photos. If you're so sloppy with your personal information that you're leaking FIN, I can't bottle that for you even if I tried. I can only discourage people from doing anything illegal and ban people who do.

What is the base model? I think that was a big oversight to leave that out and attribute this to LLMs in general.

Although I am not a researcher, it is obvious to me that not all LLMs are the same architecture, and I think that even ones with similar architecture can evolve to functionally operate quite differently on the same inputs.

Yet most articles seem to refer to LLMs as if they were just one architecture and model.
If there was much more modest immigration, which there probably should be at least for some time, we'd eventually have severely inflated house prices anyway, because that's the system they built. Various types of immigration are just some of the parts of it, and it's much more complex than just "dial the knob down and we're golden".
I use Radiology Assist for easy, self-pay imaging. You can look up the actual cost of whatever scan you are interested in, at a facility near you, on their website. A few days ago I scheduled a 3 Tesla knee MRI, on the exact day I wanted - next week. My total cost is $375, and that includes a report by a radiologist, and a copy of the MRI images.

(I tore my ACL in March and opted for physical therapy instead of surgery. My knee feels like it’s at 100% and PT tests show no difference in performance between my knees. I’m interested in seeing the degree to which there has been healing, if at all. I self-paid for my initial MRI back in April as well. It would have been more expensive through insurance!)

+1 for having a bare minimum requirements for IOT sellers against some standard testing criteria. Raise the bar but

Possibly another important would be NHTSA gathers and publishes numbers on accidents. Having some regularly published numbers would certainly shine more light and is probably lowest hurdle to cross from a political standpoint.
Is Freedom White? (2020)
Money quote: »The ancient republican societies to which the American revolutionaries looked for ideas and inspiration also had a problem with the fusion of freedom and slavery. As classicist Moses Finley explains about the ideological development of the old republics, “One element of freedom was the freedom to enslave others.” This had legal and political ramifications that rippled through Western history. The United States, from colonial times to the Civil War, inherited and reinvigorated the ancient republican values but did so in a setting of chattel slavery and settler colonialism, which caused white freedom to take its most virulent form. As Edmund S. Morgan explains in American Slavery, American Freedom (1975), white people could extol the entire republican package of equality, freedom, and democracy more effectively in a slave society than they could in a free one. As he puts it, what developed was “a rough congruity of Christianity, whiteness, and freedom and of heathenism, non-whiteness, and slavery.”«
It was always an approximation to the real world computing need. a single instruction is how most people thought of flop or mips but it had to be a blend over the range of cost behind implementing a task, the ALU single thread/lock cost, and the problemspace.

If you do exclusively square roots over a giant matrix, being told the FLOP is based on a single 64 bit float division might not help you. (I cannot conceive of a problem solved only in square roots. This is a hyperbolic/reductive argument)

Given the distinction of single/parallel a lot of FLOPS stories and MIPS stories were somewhat mythic anyway. Then manufacturers started gaming the test suites.. it was always very notional.

I ask, if IOPS is in fact any better? or SQL transaction models? I might be stuck in a problem which is a LEFT OUTER JOIN do I not need to know that cost distinct from a well optimised single B Tree index cost?

I worked on an 11/780. Many in fact, both as an operator and as a user. It was awesome. But, I reminded myself the Dec-10 alongside had happily been supporting 70-80 users in parallel, running MUD, being a sort-of mainframe, I had no conscious sense of how "big" an IBM 360 was by comparison. A Vax 11/780 was however, really quite fast at processing the same FORTRAN jobs which ran on the Dec-10. The Dec-10 had a floating-point systems "ice cream cabinet" glued on the side as an array processor. It ran tasks compiled to run on it very very fast but that was a narrow problemspace. This was 1982-3.
One of the commercials you may see on daytime TV or shady web ads, is advertising that the US Federal Government is giving away millions of dollars in grants. Now this much is true; there are a lot of federal grants out there for people who can qualify and write an application and compete for them. Even just going to college, of course, you've got your FAFSA and Pell Grant.

I guess what these commercials promise is a sort of database index or matchmaking service that will find you all the grants you could possibly qualify for, and perhaps help you apply for them in some way. It's probably nothing you couldn't do on your own, if you have the time and research skills.

Of course the NSF does not give money out of thin air when you haven't asked for it. Most entities do not do this. So indeed, there is cause for skepticism.
An easier way to do this is a small X utility that logs keystrokes, but only if the window title contains Firefox. You can write such a utility faster than you can compile a browser.

Most non-technical users of LastPass probably aren't even aware of the breach(es). LastPass was not exactly clear about the breadth of the impact. All their announcements were obfuscatory emails during the holidays.
Seems like it (the "Security Dashboard"). In fact, it looks like it uses the same standard library for calculating entropy (zxcvbn). I didn't know offhand, since I've never used LastPass.

My point is that if your password manager allows you to readily identify which of your passwords are insecure / have been compromised, that's a very useful tool to revisit any previous security assumptions you may have had.
Indeed, I've seen multiple people end up with their lives completely and utterly detailed, as well as wrecking their family and fiends (yours truly included) and a result of such prescriptions. I don't understand how this goes totally ignored by the public at large.

Password managers don't need gigabytes of memory, terabytes of storage, and a big, power-hungry x86 CPU. An air gapped machine doesn't necessarily imply a server, a desktop, or even a laptop.

Check out the mooltipass, onlykey, beamu, etc. There exist many such devices - some better than others. Note that this isn't an endorsement of the mentioned products, I just mention them as examples. Note also that not all of these devices constitute a true air-gap, though such devices which can display passwords without any kind of connection (be it bluetooth, usb, etc) can still meet that criteria.
I personally know someone who lost approx 300k to this. It was across tons of addresses on a hot wallet and not his main holdings.

Lots of gatekeeping and snark in these comments. Every time something hard gets easier, the pure who suffered hardest come out of the woodwork to inform you that the easy thing you're doing is not as good as the hard thing they've been doing since you were in short pants.

Composition is great for prototyping and small-scale production. As you level up and learn about optimizing BOMs and DFM, you will start to swap out MCU boards for your own designs; you'll see how that $10 I2C rotary encoder can be replaced with $1 worth of resistors, capacitors, a Schottky diode and a hex inverter.

Anyhow, I came to say that with companies like JLBPCB and PCBWay offering 3D printing and CNC services, you don't even need to buy a 3D printer to get started.

Heck, with https://wokwi.com/ you might not even need prototyping components.

A bottom limit is always helpful, for all applicants. For those who expect more and do not want to waste time, they can look elsewhere. For prospective labor sellers, such as high school and college students or career changers, the bottom limit (and its trend) can help them project cash flow if they were to pursue that type of work.

And it results in a more efficient allocation of labor for the country as a whole. For example, it could more quickly signal to people that we need fewer paper pushers and more trades workers.
Very cool. This came up in a huggingface transformers issue a while ago and we also determined memorization to be the likely reason. It's nice to see someone else reach the same conclusion.

It's just an STM32, display and a few radio modules. But with shipping and VAT it's around 250 euro. I imagine the component cost wouldn't be much higher than 50.

But the main issue isn't the component cost, it's just how much I'd pay for something like this. Here in Spain it's a lot of money. It's as much as my current smartphone cost.

This is why I was hoping for clones :)

Anyone in the US (without a physical disability) can DIY a shelving unit for vinyl records better than IKEA for well less than $1000 USD. Takes a little time, portable power tools and box level, a few fasteners from online/DIY stores and access to premium lumber.

Helps if the lumber supplier does cuts and planing, worth the drive to find one. Pride of accomplishment comes for free.
Alternatively it could be there that there is more than one problem with photojournalism, and the article describes a solution to just one of them -- but an important one nevertheless.
This is very straightforward code (which I wrote in 2016 before I'd even heard of RISC-V) that maps very cleanly and obviously to instructions and any gcc from the last 20 years will make essentially the same code. A large part of my goal when I wrote it was to make it far more impervious to compiler "improvements" and gaming that Dhrystone and Coremark -- and I think I succeeded very well.

The RISC-V B extension's `sh2add` and friends make a small difference -- that's basically the 2.7% gap between the VisionFive 2 and the HiFive Unmatched. If I disable Zba on the VF2 then the times are just about identical.
Yes, contract law only works for contracts that parties agree to.

Contract law can't force companies (nor consumers) to enter into contracts they don't want to be in. That's the whole point.

Have a look at eg https://www.apple.com/sg/support/professional/enterprise/ or the equivalent for Dell or Microsoft etc. All those companies already have programs where you can give them money in return for long term support and contractually guaranteed updates etc. I'm sure you can find similar programs for IoT suppliers.

Some people decide to pay for those programmes, many people don't. I don't see why we should force everyone into buying the equivalent of extended warranties, that they evidently don't want. This kind of stuff isn't free for companies to provide, you know.

As a (hobbyist) woodworker myself, I’ll spend 4 weeks of my spare time (couple hours every couple days) making a piece and then feel like I saved myself 2000$ at the end of it, only to see the same thing on Etsy for 400$. Raw wood was probably 100-200$ alone.

The middle is out there, it’s just not in mass market stores. Honestly some of these sellers must not value their time like I do.

If you know the right things to ask the seller, you can end up with a fantastic piece for short money that will outlast you. Learning that language is tough though, but some time on woodworker YouTube will bridge the gap.

Does this mean it is now computationally efficient to have the model learn/memorize information on the fly, say the current chat context, as part of the model weights? One shot encoding (something the hippocampus is very good at) allows us to build experiences into retrievable memories tied into semantic concepts we've previously learned..in fact it gets better the more rich our semantic conceptualization of events become from childhood into adulthood.

If memorization of events in llm is accelerated because of- these deep semantic frameworks, then does this provide a path towards long context windows?

I always say this - there is no such thing as a rollback. Anyone who pretends you can simply "roll back" a stateful application is out of their mind.

If you can roll back and forward events, good for you but for most of us rollbacks are actually a new build, deployment, and a new set of tests. Every single time.
