Isn't the US still dead last among developed countries at "faster speeds at cheaper prices"?

Places with common carrier setups do much better on average, as do US ISP's that focus on building out networks instead of spying on users and regulating traffic content.
Junk startups don't cause much harm to the outside world. In contrast, selling junk carbon offsets is basically fraud, you're selling an environmental impact that just isn't there.
The foil might be the same, but that doesn't mean everything is. I've had generic raisin bran cereal that was clearly Kellogg's in a different box, excpet that 1 out of 100 boxes had a slightly different flavor that wouldn't have passed Kellogg's quality controls but since still food safe (so I assume) the generic boxes got it. Of course when doing a private labor you can specify the higher quality controls, but that comes at a higher price. Most of the time Kellogg's is going to make the same cereal either way so nobody can tell the difference, but when something goes off in the process the cheaper generics get it.

My knowledge of foil suggests there isn't anything Reynolds could to that would reduce quality that would still be good enough to ship.

The tax thing is not something to be underestimated. If you want to keep an American citizenship you have to pay income tax on all the money you make living abroad at the same rate as if you made the money in the US. The doubled tax burden makes it very expensive to legally live abroad without giving up your US citizenship (which many people want to keep for a large number of reasons).

The tax code allows for deducting the income taxed by a foreign country from your US tax obligations but as I understand it's complicated, only certain types of income can be excluded, there are caps on how much income can be ignored, etc. Basically everything from retirement savings to starting a company or changing jobs becomes a big hassle that you definitely need a specialist stateside accountant to help you with.

The US is almost unique in this regard: only Eritrea and North Korea also have similar laws. Most places will only tax money you make when you live in that country.

Originally, the generics (which had plain black and white packages) had their own dedicated isles. Now the generics are put on the shelves next to the originals and all those "generic only" shelves got filled with regular products.

I've still never seen a brand new product show up in the store and become popular only to be pulled off the selves and replaced with only a generic version of that product. When I see examples of that happening, I'll accept that grocery stores are guilty of doing what amazon does.
Yes, sorry for that. I'm coming from physics, so L for sequence length and n for the number of dimensions make more sense :D

I agree with the cubic time and quadratic space is a big limitation for now and I'm looking for ways to make them linear (or close to linear).
The idea isn't incoherent so much as the word free invites a lot of creative interpretations.

Free will is really all about making decisions that guide the evolution of the universe, rather than being a powerless observer. The fact that our decisions are constrained due to circumstances does not change the fact that we make them.
Actually, it is well known that reproduction shifts in response to high population density. (e.g., https://www.nature.com/articles/20917, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00442-019-04337-9, https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/11/001128070536.h...).

Experimental studies have shown that signals of high density (e.g., playing squirrel calls on loudspeakers) reduce reproduction even when density is not actually high. I would love to test the hypothesis that Instagram exposure of rural populations reduces reproduction independent of education and actual population density.

Huge fan of ollama. Although this is the first official linux release, I've been using it on linux already for a few months now with no issues (through the arch package which builds from source).

The content is created by volunteers. But fandom is a for-profit company. In its early days when it was known as Wikia, they maintained a fairly small team of people running the site. So they just had to make enough money for paychecks and bills.
Here's my take on what went wrong. Throughout the years they grew. Because the company grew, they hired more hr people - more money needed. So they hired marketing teams, data science and so on. The costs skyrocketed.
So now they're putting ads everywhere because they don't have that much more traffic than 10 years ago but the company is much larger.
That's true. I don't know about the legality of telling a provider you don't have insurance if you do, though.
Manipulating the AST would be fine, but Lombok pretends to be an annotation processor (which can generate new classes, but not alter the semantics of the class being processed). They could create lombokc and crack open the internals of the Java compiler as much as they like, but this would mean admitting they are really Java, and they don’t seem to want to accept that.
Give the mother one year's worth of check in advance when the kid leaves the hospital (or when adoption is finalized). Then the first year was pre-paid and all subsequent years are pre-paid (from a timing perspective as well) via the taxation system.
Here's a stupid example of what I mean by shadowing:

user=> (defn foo [seq]
#_=> (every? seq seq))
#'user/foo
user=> (foo ["1" [1] '(1) {:1 1} #{1}])
Execution error (IllegalArgumentException) at user/foo (REPL:2).
Key must be integer

Note that in a CL with a "seq" function foo would look like:

(defun foo (seq)
(every #'seq seq))

So there would be no ambiguity.
But it doesn't work. It isn't present. There's basically no window management.
vLLM has far more throughput with batching, but that is also a WIP feature for llama.cpp.

Current standing is something like:

- vLLM is the fastest overall with batching, and has decent (but not SOTA) 4 bit quantization.

- Llama.cpp has the best hybrid CPU/GPU inference by far, has the most bells and whistles, has good and very flexible quantization, and is reasonably fast in CUDA without batching (but is getting batching soon). It has opencl and rocm backends, but support is focused on CUDA/Metal/CPU. Its the best backend for dGPUs that wont fit the whole model, and is otherwise a jack of all trades.

- MLC-LLM (with the TVM Vulkan backend) is the king of speed on IGPs, mobile devices and AMD/Intel dGPUs without having to fuss with a ROCM install. Its extremely fast on Nvidia dGPUS even without CUDA. It theoretically has "easy" support for webGPU and exotic hardware like FPGAs or AI blocks. But its 4-bit quantization was not as good as llama.cpp, last I checked.

- exLLAMAv2 has, by far, the best quantization for squeezing models onto small GPUs, and is the fastest CUDA (and ROCM?) backend with no batching. Its feature rich with a frontend like text-gen-ui

- Plain HF Transformers is... a fine default, but the master of none. The best use case is probably for testing research implementations.

I've been out of Google for over a decade, but my understanding is that their advancement metrics are still rather broken in incentivizing people to reinvent the wheel and call it new and innovative, rather than link some other team's code and contribute patches back.
Well, then this doesn't really affect you as you don't have a choice regarding updates at all :)
That, to me, seems like an employment problem.
It's everything, but it's not something you actively do. You can't just go around with an intent "to network" because it comes off as unauthentic and cringe and it just won't work. Just go places, do things, do good work, make small talk, be interesting, be interested, be yourself. All cliches, but they're cliche for a reason.

It's nice to have an implementation of Shamir's secret sharing. I was able to try it out by installing the package via Debian.

It's unfortunate that this site only is HTTP-only and doesn't offer SSL/TLS. For an application using cryptography, it strikes me as odd that it wouldn't be available over a secure channel.

It's also odd that there are SHA-1 hashes of the downloadable files since those hashes are also presented over an insecure channel.
For better or worse these are people to whom we'd likely be funneling money in one fashion or another

Not a fan of TSA, but the people working there seem like normal, employable people. If we got rid of TSA, ~20% could probably stay working security at the Airports, and the other 80% could move on to actual productive jobs, and instead of us funneling money to them they'd be generating money.
No, I don't use apple pay. I don't have any apple device for personal use at all, and I wouldn't use my work MacBook for personal payments.
What I really like about this is that it's a completely different approach from what the other big player is doing. Evolution in nature is based on small iterative variations to locate local maxima without ever regressing to a worse fit on its way to an even better maximum. Very few times we see someone doing something wild in hopes they'll end with something better in the end.
So then all we need is Charlize Theron's voice in an all voice command world, and were there where Her brought us. The future came faster than I thought
It stops getting guaranteed security updates, whatever that means. If this is really so serious that it enables drive-by attacks on the web, it'd be negligent not to port the fix to older OSes.
I consider free will fundamentally an illusion but at the abstraction level of 'me' (also a faulty abstraction) it does make sense to use these concepts sometimes.

>macOS has felt “feature complete” to me for years now.

This OS upgrade looks like it's mostly slapping new UIs on top of old, so I'm not sure this is "doing it right".
That is not remotely as powerful as actual window snapping and feels more like what a tablet OS would need rather than a desktop OS.

Expert systems are about automation of decision. I talk not about automation, but just a minimal, basic dependency on culture as opposed to complete dependency and no hope of novel thinking outside of it.

Tribal thinking is the worst. You added nothing of value to the conversation.
Bonus points for YAYWOWND that didn't exist last week, yet all it's products have thousands of 5 star reviews that amazon somehow doesn't think is fraudulent.
The numbers are always changing, but from my testing, they're close enough that it doesn't really matter. My most recent benchmarks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kT4or6b0Fedd-W_jMwYp...

I'd say that you should pick the backend that has the quantized models or other features (sampler, context window, API compatibility, etc) that suits you best.
I see your point. I'm not sure I agree with all of the statements in your original comment but this one that caught my attention is a pretty minor distinction. CGI in movies is essentially this same thing but done manually by humans, sometimes even without input from the actor: see Carrie Fisher in whatever Star Wars movie I forgot.

There's still something about the scale of effort that seems to change this, though. For example, even if a government could hire people to produce a fake photograph, and even do so in time to use the photograph for some political manipulation, I'm not so convinced they could do so with a video. Even considering that large organizations could already do this technically, the ease of function that this allows is pretty worrying, though I do otherwise think it is a good thing that this technology is "out of the bag", so to speak.
Not really feeling like doing a bunch of research right now but walmart has 36% of the grocery market in this country and many local monopolies. I don't think Amazon is above 50% in any ecommerce sectors so seems pretty similar to me. Walmart also is known for the same stuff Amazon does where it bans the companies it buys from from charging less elsewhere.
Fair points and I stand corrected in some of my wording. But that still doesn't explain why rates have "mostly peaked". It is equally possible that we are nowhere near the peak.
Possibly, but a core guiding principle for us is to keep everything as simple as possible. We're a small project, so if we add too many features/permutations it really makes it hard to keep everything working!

Let's consider the original framing: "You tell ChatGPT your homework question and ask what's the answer." You aren't asking for help with the homework in this framing, you're just asking for the answers so you don't have to actually do it. I don't think this scenario raises any new, difficult ethical questions; it's exactly equivalent to copying the homework of a friend.
Anecdata, but I feel most people don’t want to upgrade the software at all regardless of the features.. :p
What is the Rust used for here? Do you manually write x,y pixels to these devices?

If i was starting a multi-year, potentially billion-dollar project right now, what has unity done to guarantee my project won't be axed because of their greed? Personally, i'd expect them to actually not change TOS for a given version ever, enabling me to at least have the safety net of never updating the engine, but they removed that guarantee from the TOS. This isn't a SaaS app used to sync your photos we're talking about, this is the underlying tech for massive swathes of some people's entire lives.

This is like saying "you can't really expect linux TOS to never change for future versions" (pretend that makes sense). Like yeah they might be subject to change, but as someone basing my entire work on it, i am making the bet that i will continue to be able to do that, and unity has just showed that not only they can change it, but that they will, without hesitation and possibly retroactively.

> anything they can get that would be local (rather than from NZ or AUS) is even more expensive

This might be key. It might be that your juridiction has trade agreements with other countries and impose that local lamb has cannot be sold cheaper, and if that is the case it would explain why local products are more expensive and lamb/mutton not marketed at all. Talk to local producers to confirm. I don't know about today, but this used to be an issue for lamb manu markets.

I'm amazed at how much the idea of pissing into a bottle offended the sensibilities of journalists. Given a choice between pissing in bottles or having the time saved as a longer lunch break, I'd guess most would chose the lunch break. The never ending screw turning cost optimization is the problem, but using that example lands really flat.
That's actually exciting. I'll keep an eye out for that for sure. And I agree I think this is not talked about because we would collectively agree that what we have is shit.
The Qubes OS team stores their Master Signing Key on an offline machine (running Qubes of course) and use it to sign the keys of the team members: https://www.qubes-os.org/security/verifying-signatures/#how-...

The developer signing keys are set to expire after one year, while the QMSK [Qubes Master Signing Key] and RSKs [Release Signing Keys] have no expiration date. The QMSK was generated on and is kept only on a dedicated, air-gapped “vault” machine, and the private portion will (hopefully) never leave this isolated machine.

Alternatively one could use split-gpg, but it's probably a tiny bit less secure: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/split-gpg/.

I don't really care about stepping; for me the debugger is about inspecting the state of my program when an exception (maybe because I interrupted it, or because I inserted a breakpoint, or just because something went wrong) happens. Backtrace, local variables, evaluating forms at different stack frames and so-forth.
Yours looks way better than mine - I intentionally didn't show the inside because it's a mess of wires and the screen is held on with masking tape and blue sticky tack and the waveshare esp board wasn't really designed to be soldered to.

And at what point is a company too powerful that doesn't meet the traditional, and frankly outdated, view of a monopoly? Amazon owns and controls entertainment, news, journalism, books, movies, products, furniture, space/satellite services, backend services, storefronts, medical care, pharmacies, food, etc. They literally control, own, and/or provide every aspect of life. Are they the only ones in each of those areas? No. But they are one of the few, if not the only one, in all of those areas at once.

Technology, and in particular software, has greatly outpaced the definition of monopolistic power. Amazon and all the other large tech companies wield so much power it is scary. And they can literally just buy into any market they please with hardly any push back.
