There's some nitpicking at words, but I honestly don't know what you meant by "outside the bounds of ... the rule of law" if it's not either that applauding violence is illegal (it's not in the US) or that the laws protecting most people shouldn't protect those people (which seems contrary to your earlier implication that condoning violence is wrong regardless of circumstances).

In a simplistic view, net neutrality prohibits QoS bandwidth allocation. You can't prioritize video over Linux ISO downloads.

Why wouldn't you use CSS selectors? They are unambiguous, concise and most importantly, a standard. They should be the conventional way to refer to elements.

Try photography terms, as they're less likely to have uploaded HDR'd content under postings that include the technical specs of what they shot with, e.g. "24mm f/1.2" or "70mm f/2.8" or "D820" and such.

50mm (optimally with "Nikon" or "Canon" or similar) or 35mm will probably get you the most "natural" looking FoV. (Adding "lower" # fstops will get you a lot more depth-of-field/bokeh.)

The old adage is "f/8 and be there" so f/8 might get the most natural images if you want to specify an fstop(?)

This is where things like img2img in StableDiffusion really came in handy as you could simply apply an entire prompt like a photoshop filter..
I suggest you look at the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) which you need to follow if you list in Europe. Goodwill is only on the purchasors balance sheet. You can push goodwill down to subsidiaries, but only under USGAAP.

> Charge all research cost to expense. [IAS 38.54] Development costs are capitalised only after technical and commercial feasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established.

> I would be very surprised if Ryzen goes for 32 cores, 24 is more probable.

The rumor is that the CCX is going from 8 to 16 cores, at which point a 24 core ryzen would necessarily be 2 partially-enabled CCXs. That wouldn't make much sense as their high end configuration which so far has always been 2 fully enabled compute chiplets. So if that 16 core CCX change is true then 32 full fat cores for the top end Ryzen is the most likely scenario. There wouldn't really be any reason for AMD to just refuse to put 2 fully enabled dies together, especially since as you noted Threadripper & Epyc already offer more benefits that Ryzen just won't get.
Currently the $60 plan, hopefully now with DALL-E 3 this cost goes down.
What I mean is, there are certainly a lot more than 2 or 3 individuals or businesses that have ever advertised on FB for Python and Pandas (programming) stuff. Courses, recruiting, books, events, commercial libraries, etc.

If this kind of error was systematic, no one would be able to run these ads. We'd have certainly already seen a public outcry about it.

That doesn't seem to be the case, here (yet)?..
I think for a compiler it makes sense to focus on small matrix multiplies, which are a building block of larger matrix multiplies anyways. Small matrix multiplies emphasize the compiler/code generation quality. Even vanilla python overhead might be insignificant when gluing small-ish matrix multiplies together to do a big multiply.
Not a lawyer, but seems like a slam dunk medical discrimination case.
There would still be need for some sort of appeal/correction process, which doesn't seem to exist in a useful state now and would be required no matter what automated system you put in place.

Well, they are trying... For tooling they tried to get this done well with pipenv, but (imho) failed for how slow and clunky it is. I really tried to like pipenv, but now I just go for poetry.

But one thing that needs to be acknowledged is how difficult it is to coordinate a space with so many stakeholders (eg. Conda and Anaconda for Windows), and how python got so engrained in the sys admin (installing tools with pip.) that undoing that is a monstrous task [1]

[1] The other day my ansible playbooks stopped working because packages that you used to be able to install globally with pip, should now be installed through the package managers (eg. jsondiff should now be installed as apt-get install pyton3-jsondiff). Exactly to push people to use virtual environments where you can better manage depedencies.

Doesn't this introduce a conflict of interest when it comes to ActivityPub? Not that I ever believed they'd really add support.
It's hard to fund development without releasing something, and at the same time, releasing it prematurely runs the risk of entrenching undesirable features/behaviors/etc that stifle development of something better.

Releasing it closed source allows them to point to something that justifies further fund raising and allowing them to control the direction of development while getting user feedback.

This isn't some esoteric language where if mojo vanished you'd lose your whole project and have to rewrite it into something else. It's python with some syntax sprinkled on top, so vendor lockin isn't a huge concern.

It's always interesting to see research like this and sit back and wonder about how and why certain things get studied. Like, this required some funding and time. And I'm someone who enjoys a lot of classical art, but I find it hard to care this much about an old painting...

When I was in university studying materials science I remember a grad student friend vying to get time and funding to get to a certain syncrotron for X-ray diffraction studies of potential new solar cell substrates (diffused AL/amorphous silicon:H iirc..). I can't imagine the level of facepalming if he'd have been told the department had to bump that research because.... 'hey we need to look at properties of the paint from the Mona Lisa....'
Yup. I now have a pair of 8 euro earphones I carry around in my bag for calls. They work the instant they're plugged in, there's no "can you hear me" bollocks, no lag, sync issues, and the sound quality is miles better than anything Bluetooth could muster.

Wireless headphones are inferior to wired headphones in every way that matters.

Wireless mice — good ones — are worth the hassle. Mostly because they seem to just work for the most part.
Vietnam is a major location.

You'll find a number of NK operated companies and restaurants in Saigon and Hanoi to help bring in foreign currency.

Also, Vietnam has one of the largest Korean diasporas outside of Korea, as South Korean companies moved all their operations in China to Vietnam in 2013-17 after the THAAD fiasco.

Just about every single product and conglomerate in Vietnam is Korean (specifically Lotte Holdings). Walk down the street and you'd find 3 Lotte Marts. Then go grab lunch at the Lotteria next door. Then call a Grab and ride in a Hyundai back to your apartment in D2 built by Lotte while the driver is playing KPop produced by Lotte Cultureworks, and then watch some KDramas or Vietnamese shows at home produced by Lotte Cultureworks and maybe chill out while drinking some Chum-Churum Soju. Then, next morning, drink some Chillsung Cider to fight the hangover and go to your company, who will end up exporting products back to Korea via Lotte Global Logistics with financing from Lotte Capital. When you end up getting vacation, you'll end up flying to Seoul and maybe take your family to Lotte Hotel World.

This is the sort of thing that could cause people to lose friends or jobs. This is exactly the sort of thing we should be worried about with AI. I feel like machine translations like those on Instagram should come with a disclaimer (in bold, not fine print!).
Facebook seems to be of two minds with regard to "social" media. On the one hand, they're forcing awful reels/stories type anti-social content that's largely meant for passive consumption and zero engagement, while on the other hand pushing a new product that encourages participation and engagement and content that lasts more than 24h.
This reads like blatant fear mongering

> infiltrate organizations they work for to steal secrets

Do you worry about this as a random company? You are gonna steal source code for 4 out of 12 micro services required to run some random online shopping website, or a video game? what is North Korean gov. Going to do with it?

And if you give random people access to customer data, then it’s already being sold on the dark web.

I don't think Jasper, Copy.ai and other similar startups got the memo.
I've been talking with a few friends as well about forming a group quite similar to this - can I ask how it went or what was the initial motivation for everyone to finally do it? Are you all having backgrounds in software or do other people on the team have engineering / hardware / other focuses? Absolutely love stuff like this - subscribed to the newsletter! Cheers!
I was thinking in terms of remembering and manually dialing them. Perhaps I'm the only person left who still does that, though.
Thanks, my initial response to summarization as killer feature: "is it though?" but the "historic" nature of this post makes a bit more sense now. Unlike crypto, there are many diverse use cases for LLM. While summarization is useful I don't think it's killer.
Summarization fits into my mental model of LLMs as "calculators for words". https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/2/calculator-for-words/

I think it's one of a small set of killer related use cases:

- Summarization

- Data and fact extraction, which is strongly related to summarization. Find all factual assertions in this news article. Extract the names of every person and location mentioned.

- Question answering: given this context, answer this question. That's key to implementing Retrieval Augmented Generation, eg https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/embed-paragraphs#user-con...

Aside from these summarization-adjacent applications, the thing I find most exciting is LLMs incredible aptitude at generating code.

Code is especially interesting because it can be automatically executed (in a sandbox), which means many hallucinations can be automatically detected and fixed!
Adding code into your framework to support abandonware plugins is the exact opposite of better solution
From a friend: Everyone was laid off with no severance or benefits. The CEO put all the blame on a lender in order to explain why there were no severance packages. This sucks because they took it upon themselves to offer staff retention bonuses earlier this year to keep people around after the earlier layoff.

Very cool! I totally expect testing to be one of the killer apps for AI. And this is an easy way to get there.

How do you ensure the AI isn't hallucinating any details in the generated code?
This is part of the curriculum in France so anyone who is today around 20 would have started with Scratch.

I do not think this left lasting traces in pupils' minds.

Then in high school they are taught Python the worst possible way. Similar on how they teach math or physics.

I love my country but how scientific classes are taught is terrible. There is a sadistic obsession with math (this reminds me the way ducks are fed for foie gras) where they teach completely useless stuff (to a point you cannot imagine) born in the minds of tortured 70 years old ministers.

Physics is the same - "how to choose the worse topics to make you hate physics" was on the bedstand of the ones who invented the curriculum.

My son once told me "dad, I do not know how people whose parents cannot explain this stuff manage to go though". This were the words of a top student of a top HS in France. You can imagine how it is elsewhere.

Back in the 70s, the Pet Rock became all the rage. Considering all the novelty gag gifts that come and go, why did that one catch fire? Some memes catch on while most don't for inscrutable reasons. Most likely there was some notable cultural reference to it and its nudge into cultural relevance further fed to more gains.
I've also been learning Rust and have also struggled with it a bit more than I expected. It's not bad, but I do think there is a learning curve. I've struggled more with Rust than I typically do when learning new languages.

C++ benefits a little in that you can almost just use C++ as C, and I think part of the reason I struggled less with C++ when I used to play with it was that I didn't do the weird stuff. That's not to say that C++ complexity doesn't matter, but it might make the language more accessible to some people because they don't need to learn the weird stuff until they start looking at other people's code or using tutorials? I'm not sure I ever completely fully learned C++ as much as I learned C and the handful of C++ features that fixed some of the things that bothered me in C.

And with Rust there are concepts that (to me) feel harder to avoid. Rust (from what I've used) seems to be overall a much more elegant language than C++, but it feels like more of its complexity is front-loaded and that you run into difficult patterns that test your knowledge more quickly. That might just be my impression though, I'm tackling the two languages at different times of my life and I'm doing different things with them.

I've also been approaching it in a fairly unstructured way, and I know that some people recommend just sitting down and reading through the Rust book cover to cover. Which to be fair, is probably a faster way to learn it than just trying to build stuff with it and then learning new concepts as they're needed and when I run into errors and problems. My (again, very early) impression of Rust is that it feels more purposefully designed than a lot of other languages I've used, but I have a harder time intuiting what the purpose of everything is and a lot of the systems interlock with each other that seems to make them a bit harder to tackle one at a time -- so I suspect it benefits more from guided learning.
well kinda... Numpy is rather slow relative to what you can build with a pure C/C++/Fortran/Rust pipeline. Its API usually prevents memory reuse, putting memory allocations on the critical path. You can't fuse operators. And, all of its operations aside from calls into BLAS (for example it's ufunc elementwise processing) are single threaded.

People use numpy bc of the python ecosystem and all the domain specific libraries it is compatible with. It very fast relative to Python and provides aa stable, easy to use, array API.
Kind of .. depending on how sensitive you are to accuracy.

Also also, we've had powerful summarization techniques for decades now (deep-learning, or otherwise) - and they aren't susceptible to the hallucinations of present day Generative LLMs.

Thanks for your comment. I didn't mean all facts are conventions—but the majority of truths I was taught at school like how the Earth looks like, the existence of seasons, and the Earth rotating around the Sun were just conventions. Yes, you can (and people have done it) assume the Earth is at the center and the Sun and other planets revolve around the Earth. Your equations would just be more complicated. It's all relative.
They could also have grown threads by owning the domain name.

Also by actually having a desktop website for threads.

Also by having a standalone user registration system, not the same one as instagram.

Also perhaps by spending some of those billions doing actual advertising. I’ve never seen a single ad for threads. Compare that to any new movie which is on every media channel, on YouTube, on billboards, on the side of buses, on bus stops.

Things that seem to me to be absolute minimums required.
There is plenty of evidence that fruit does make us fat. The basis is that fruit used to be seasonal and was related to mammals surviving winter:

> We have some local hatcheries, so at the time, we were getting significant runs back, and so they were willing to provide the salmon. Obviously, I don’t have enough students on board to go pick huckleberries in the amount that big grizzly bears or brown bears would want to eat. But we have an apple orchard right next door that is very — the apples are very, very similar in terms of being a lot of water, high carbohydrate and not too much else. We started doing studies where we would feed bears, if we’re talking about salmon, all the way from just maintaining their weight up to gaining prodigious amounts, and the same on apples. And then, so the next thing we did was feed both apples and salmon. And we let, in a lot of studies, we let the bears just determine what that mixture would be. And when they mixed them on a daily basis, then they gained more weight per unit of energy intake than either salmon alone or apples alone. And so there was an interaction effect, where by consuming both foods, it actually provided a better diet than either food alone. And that was what we were seeing in the wild bears. So the captive bears, given the choice, would do exactly what we were seeing in the wild bears.

As someone living in the EU who wants to use Threads but cannot - as Meta has blocked it here, while they work out GDPR compliance that has not been solved since launch - its amusing to me to read how Meta is planning to do various growth hacks.

My humble suggestion would be to first, perhaps, roll out to the EU? On one hand: sure, we are “only” talking about 450M potential users. On the other: anyone who has friends in this region or an interest in someone based here: well, that person needs to go to Twitter/Mastodon/BlueSky etc.

I am not saying this definitely explains all growth struggles: but surely doesn’t help true, global adoption?

You can find this info on https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/

The search function and UI is terrible, though. There used to be a website self.nutritiondata.com that was amazing. Full calorie, carb, fat, and nutrient profiles on all manner of whole foods, plus lots of branded processed food labels as well. Apparently they had to take it all down because it was out of date. They got all of their info form the USDA link above, so the data still exists and there are other web apps out there that organize it for you, but they all pale in comparison to the old self.nutritiondata, sadly.

My 67 year old mother moved to America when she came as 27, with me her 4 year old child. She didn't speak english. She worked retail, without speaking English. When the 89 SF earthquake happened, she was stuck in SF not speaking English and made it home via ferries to Oakland. She attended government visa hearings in SF, driving a car there without a license, without navigation, while at that point knowing a few words in english.

And you think she's incapable of using a computer.
