Except it's absolutely not. As in the source they use (ENTSO-E) absolutely has no notion of energy sources. I can also see that the other source they've listed for Croatia is offline, and according to Wayback that been the case for at least a year. In conclusion, carbon intensity per 24h might as well be pulled out of their asses because they, and I can't stress this enough, don't have that data.

Meanwhile, the website of the nuclear power plant, which is again co-owned by Croatian state-owned electricity company, tells me it's responsible for 16% of Croatia's annual electricity usage, while this website tells me it's zero. Gee, I wonder which of the two is more of an authoritative source.

Seriously, stop trying to correct someone that's local to the area and knows a bit more about the situation than what you've learned in the past 20 min via your shitty global web project that has to take a shit ton of shortcuts in order not to be empty.
A parameter refers to any trained value in the model. If you initialize it to a random number at the start of training - it's a parameter.

In the context of transformer language models, that includes the weights and biases in the feed-forward layers, as well as the input embeddings, positional encodings, and transformers query, key, and value matrixes.
So far I have only bothered with the actual browser version in Chrome.

It goes beyond it, because CPU-GPU interfaces were also designed with JavaScript GC in mind.

Hence why on Android they are finally thinking about using WebPGU to expose Vulkan to app developers, as most keep using GL ES instead of downgrading their developer experience dealing with NDK, C and C++.
So the world is USA (I suppose that is what you mean with America/Americans) and Europe. You have a big big world my friend!
the real tragedy is the Prius. they had such a head start, and could have created a PriusE or something that would have had a ton of pull.

imagine a Hilux or Tacoma truck EV with Toyota reliability added on there. meanwhile TSLA can't do QA to save its life. the EV F-150 is so hot Ford can't keep up with demand.
That’s because municipal boundaries are arbitrary, and a poor way to analyze human settlement patterns. Most of those small cities still lie within larger metro areas.

If you look at this list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area?...

226 million people live in the 108 metro areas over 500k as of the 2020 census.

Fairview NJ may “only” have a population of 15k, but that doesn’t mean it is too small for public transportation.

Assuming you are acting in good faith - please give this a minute of thought.

Do you see how that 81.8% figure undermines your argument?
Before Discord was mainstream (2016-2018) there were some really fun public voice chats but now its 90% minge and not what it used to be. I've also met some pretty crazy people on the voice chat in Valve games and occasionally IRC. I go on SpaceHey a lot now to find new people to talk to.

Yeah it's insanely easy to break stuff.
Maybe allowing bare words as both identifiers and keywords that could occur in the same position was never the right solution. SQL's roots start young in programming language design so no shame on anybody for not knowing. But e.g. if you're developing an ORM today that generates SQL strings and that SQL dialect might change in a DB upgrade later you should just be always quoting user identifiers.
What is the difference from using OpenLLMetry versus using OTel directly? Is the issue that there aren't conventions for the needed attributes?

At least in my experience, these aren’t diminishing (or at minimum, highly available).

Every week I
- play board games at a brewery
- climb at a local climbing gym
- play soccer on a public field
- (usually) watch sports at a local bar

There are plenty of coffee shops and parks near me where I see people meeting.
I said "derivative", not equivalent.

Also, TFA used singularly is different from just saying "the article", e.g. when you want to imply RTFA. Within your comment you could see the "F" part was quite out of nowhere and can be considered rude.
You need something like "ratcheting zoning" - if someone wants to redevelop a single-family plot into a duplex; by default it should be allowed; encouraged.

If they want redevelop a 4plex into a single-family home; that requires more investigation and a variance.
I don't see where in the article they imply causation. They use the words "linked" and "associated." In fact, they specifically call out they don't have a causal explanation.

>As an observational study, the research was not able to determine what is causing the link between housing tenure and biological ageing, and the DNA samples analysed so far were only from white, European householders.

I generally agree with this, but it's worth noting the places that do have public housing have notably lower homeless rates when compared against drug use rates. Furthermore, most housing assistance is done through section 8 vouchers, which you would presumably control for if you repeated this experiment in the US.
I don’t think true third places really exist in the Western world anymore, at least on a large scale. If you read about the history of coffee houses in Vienna or in Istanbul, they were entirely different from the commercial-product focused coffee shop of today. In such places, the coffee was almost an afterthought, secondary to the social life that went on there.

The heyday of the coffee house was the turn of the nineteenth century when writers like Peter Altenberg, Alfred Polgar, Egon Friedell, Karl Kraus, Hermann Broch and Friedrich Torberg made them their preferred place of work and pleasure. Many famous artists, scientists, and politicians of the period such as Arthur Schnitzler, Stefan Zweig, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Adolf Loos, Theodor Herzl, and Alfred Adler.[15] Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Leon Trotsky and Josip Broz Tito were all living in Vienna in 1913, and they were constant coffee house patrons.

Ottoman era coffeehouses democratized education across all stratums of society. Because individuals from a variety of backgrounds gathered in these coffeehouses, illiterate or low literacy people could sit alongside educated individuals.

I’m not sure such places could exist in a world with smartphones and to-go drinks.
Thanks for adding that data point at least!

There are many society wide problems, all with various trade offs and costs to ‘fix’. (I added quotes, because in most cases I suspect a real actual fix is impossible - merely moving things around into another category or changing how the underlying situation presents itself).

There are also many different individual choices one can make, with relative tradeoffs.

How would you rate illegal drug use/overdose deaths relative to DUIs for instance? What solutions (and related costs) do you think would be necessary to ‘solve’ the DUI problem? How about obesity? How about heart disease?

You’ll find comments in this post complaining about getting DUIs in the most walkable cities in the world, and on bicycles too.

We could ban all alcohol - would that solve it? Historically, the answer is a solid no.
If this means teens/Gen Z are moving past the irony and funny zingers on social media, I'm all for it.

Ah, you live in an area there they were still building in the past thirty years, I see. In no-growth parts of California, the cheap apartments from the 80s are sky high in prices, while the decrepit apartments from the 60s and 70s are merely very expensive.
>Video will have a much much higher bar to pass than text and I think it will take some time still.

I am not so sure about that. The real hurdle at this point seems to be getting something like Dall-E to produce multiple angles and poses of a scene while maintaining characteristics of the elements in the scene. At that point it is an interpolation problem. I admit I am not an expert on these, but these do not seem insurmountable. I would not be surprised if we see something that can make very convincing short videos in less than a year. At that point, since a "short video" is really a scene, we are basically at film stage.
The idea that corporations and the government do not deceive has me raising eyebrows.

Book shelves (like aquariums) are heavy.

My concern would be traffic and weight. Public buildings are designed with thicker/wider and more numerous structural elements compared to residential buildings.

I believe the residential standard for concrete structures in India (where I am) specifies a minimum live load bearing capacity of 2kN/m2 (approx 200 kg/m2). This is much higher for schools/colleges/libraries/auditoriums etc.
Yes i get your point and i also see this as a cascade effect, there are things been swiped under the carpet for a long time and the results it's this mess we're seeing.

> Or are the people who are predisposed to living a stressful life with fast ageing more likely to choose privately rented homes, and taking away that option wouldn't actually help them?

Why would people living stressful lives choose to rent? That makes no sense—generally speaking, people don't like renting and generally speaking it's more affordable to pay off a mortgage than it is to pay off someone else's.

I think this essay is relevant here: https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

> Suppose you publish an article that happens to contain a sentence identical to one from this article, like "The law sees Colour." That's just four words, all of them common, and it might well occur by random chance. Maybe you were thinking about similar ideas to mine and happened to put the words together in a similar way. If so, fine. But maybe you wrote "your" article by cutting and pasting from "mine" - in that case, the words have the Colour that obligates you to follow quotation procedures and worry about "derivative work" status under copyright law and so on. Exactly the same words - represented on a computer by the same bits - can vary in Colour and have differing consequences. When you use those words without quotation marks, either you're an author or a plagiarist depending on where you got them, even though they are the same words. It matters where the bits came from.
It's ironic because in attempting to paint the authors as simple-minded and pursuing an agenda, you yourself used an analogy that is simple-minded and implies an agenda.
Why would RISC-V servers not want to support compressed instructions? I imagine compressed instructions would improve code memory locality, perhaps at the cost of some instruction decode overhead.

Much of what you listed is a consequence of the Internet, which COVID exacerbated. It's unfortunate but society always changes, and this is one of them. It's OK to accept it and allow it to happen. Except one:

> Libraries have to constantly prove their relevancy. My town again had a huge city council fight to fund a new library district - it wasn't pretty.

This I worry is more funded by alt-right anti-intellecutalist culture warriors who are not happy that libraries include books on subjects they don't agree with.

This is worth fighting for. The internet is not a replacement for a library and more importantly librarians.

Not only that but since so much of society is inaccessible without the internet anymore, we need to have public spaces with internet access.

In my head we need to consider libraries on the same level of societal importance as police departments, firehalls, and hospitals. They all must be free and universally accessible or there's no point to the centuries of progress humanity has made. [0]

[0] obligatory edit - police departments ARE overfunded due to illogical unsubstantiated fear-mongering, and because they are forced to do work that they should not be responsible for, specifically challenges of mental health, drug addiction, and poverty. Which end up causing crime, and so the police get asked to fix the symptom rather than the root cause.
Looks like that to me too.

The interesting thing is that, with 40 variables the expectation is that they would find 2 spurious correlations. They got unlucky and only got to publish 1.

Also, with about 50 control variables that nobody has any idea how related they are to the outcome, I'm sure I could mess with the numbers until I find some 10 spurious correlations on the set. They quit too early.

Still, those studies are important to lead future research into the actual relevant questions. It's journalists that shouldn't touch them.
This type naysaying feels like clickbait. The current Tensor-fueled AI wave is easily on-par or exceeding in significance that of the Internet, personal computing, or the smartphone. AI is extremely hyped right now and very expensive, but the landscape is changing quickly. On top of a few immediately valuable applications: text generation, code completion, image generation, etc., there are a million people trying to figure out how to make use of "AI" capabilities that already exist. Even if the technology did not improve at all past GPT4, we would see a decade of innovation as it works through industries. A huge portion of any AI project is collecting and preparing data. Now that we know that datasets like this can be valuable, more effort will be put into collecting: business conversations of all types (customer service, consulting, meetings, etc.), diagrams, blueprints, photos and video from manufacturing, healthcare, and constructions. The value equation is also rapidly changing with dozens of non-Nvidia chip makers furiously trying to capture a piece of the pie, and economically motivated developers (compute time is expensive!) developing more efficient code.

I typically write them myself in the form of a "you are-such-and-so, your role is this-and-that. As such-and-so you have the following traits..." and so on. Sometimes I let some other AI rewrite it. There's very little method or science to it for me: if it feel right, it's right. Typically I find the first few chat-lines of the prompt (i.e. the chat history in the context) to be much more decisive to the conversation flow than the actual prompt itself. But it's all just "prompt" of course. My biggest realization in making the things go was "it's just a wall of text, the chat bits are just a thin facade". Write the prompt the way you want the text to continue, basically. It's a fancy Eliza. The folks over at https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/ sometimes share their (sometimes NSFW) prompts as well though. Right now I'm working on a minimalist interactive journaling app (a diary that talks back), and it's been a lot of fun to do and learn
Exactly. It is a huge effort. Thanks for pointing it out @cbkeller.
100%. Everyone is portraying this corporate image of positivity, which is always above and beyond what is normal for a person because corporations (sorry, US Supreme Court) are not people and don’t have feelings and emotions. It’s said a million times but your employer is not your family, but it should also be said a million times that your work colleagues and industry connections aren’t your friends, either.

I think the news that teens love LinkedIn is as much of a reflection of the toxic positivity of LinkedIn, which to kids without life experience could be seen as “maturity”, as it is a reflection of the toxicity of other social media. LinkedIn is kind of a mix of what happens when you keep kids out, but also, the consequences for what you post and share and comment are immediately impactful to your employment. You don’t hide your LinkedIn from an employer like you do TikTok or Instagram. So you have to be much more careful about what you post.
A good example of how cynicism can sometimes simply be accuracy.
I try Krita every now and then (probably will again with this release) but I always find myself going back to Clip Studio Paint at some point. The out of the box experience is just better somehow.
2 differences:

1. You don't have instrumentations for libraries like OpenAI, LangChain, etc. so you need to manually open spans

2. As you said, there are no semantic conventions for logging things like prompts and chains.

What we did is just defined the new set of semantic conventions, and built the instrumentations. But we're using vanilla OpenTelemetry so it's fully compatible with standard OpenTelemetry.

Sure. Disable all the optional features you aren't using, and hope there's no unpublished security errors in the site itself or the stack. Same thing you'd do on any other language/stack; except something that's formally verified in which case you'd also need to hope the verification model matches the actual environment.

Lack of security updates / process doesn't definitely imply an insecure environment, but it puts the onus for security more clearly on the host. You've got to at least watch all the security updates in newer revisions and consider if they apply, but there's also things that may have gotten fixed or at least changed without realizing the old version was insecure.

Here is what's being counted as slavery from your source:
Forms of modern slavery include slavery by "ownership" ("chattel" slavery), government conscription (forced military service or government labor), forced prison labor, forced migrant labor, debt bondage (slavery until debts are paid), sexual slavery, forced marriage/child marriage, child labor, and forced begging. With the definition of modern slavery in mind, we can now move on to examining the statistics.

Your 13,000,000 slave number is only chattel slavery. You're comparing apples and oranges to better make your point.
