If the model is 50% smaller, then it has different number of weights and is basically a different model, and not compatible with anything from the base model.
Maybe your tangent is pointing at a wrong direction, because I think there are also a sizable portion of such programmers in many other languages. It seems that anOverlyLongAndInformationFreeIdentifier is widely despised, but once names do have enough information contents, an exactly preferred name wildly varies even in a single code base. For example induction variables in Python generators tended to be shorter than average in my experience.

Excellent, that means you've been on there 3 years longer I have :) I only wish I'd found it sooner.

> Yes you can contact airlines via twitter for sure but I don't think those are the same people who have access to the GDS

The CS agents answering the phone when you call AA/UA/DL/BA/whoever may not have (direct) access to the GDS either, given the number of times I've been fobbed off with comments like "we have to send this to the ticketing team", "this won't price on my system so I'll have to send it to the back office" (when I have an itinerary in ITA Matrix, the availability in Expert Flyer, and have it priced on Google Flights too). Remember that - for example - BA no longer has any agents with direct ticketing training or capability physically present in the public areas at Heathrow Airport. I'll repeat: no ticket desks at their home airport. The mind boggles.

However that's all academic, it's not about who has access to what system, it's about how well resourced and empowered any particular team is to resolve customers' problems, and how quickly results are achieved. If a team is able to reach out to other resources and get assistance, then customers probably don't notice, and certainly won't care.

Twitter is definitely a channel that's more empowered and better resourced - at least relative to the number of customers using it - than the telephone, and certainly way more than email.

Q: Why is that?
Hey! I'm Anastasia from Uploadcare team Could you please share more details about the problem? Seems, I can help :)
Stand in a room with an actual representation of the population and you will feel very differently about what it takes to get to 51%.

> The problem is for the bus to stop near you, it has to stop often. To stop often, it has to move slowly, which means it will take forever to get to your destination.

Add bus lanes and smart traffic lights (giving busses permanent green waves), this stops being the case. Busses should never be stuck in traffic. That's bad for scheduling and makes them needlessly unattractive.
If the person had applied for a credit card, used it, then refused to pay because the name is different from his legal one, I suppose it would be quickly fixed
This depends a lot on the country.

In Germany, it is intended to be hard to change your name; in the USA, the situation is different. Also in Germany, if you change your name voluntarily (without having a very good reason (CLARIFICATION: of course marriage is a good reason)), this is considered to be a strong sign that you deeply hate your parents (and did the name change because of that). Indeed, the people who I know who changed their first name to their middle name exactly did it because if this.
>Data brokers sell your info to employers, landlords, and insurance companies.

Even if this was the case, why is this an issue? Why would you want to work for employer who cared about anything except your skills? Same goes for landlords (not that you should be renting anyway). And get a better insurance company.
Yes, https://vokabeln.io/ is correct.

Dang, he forgot to mention that one in the article…
Google's problem was controversial actually! Back then the general consensus in the industry was that web search didn't matter, users didn't care much and the big thing was "portals" where one company provides all the information you want in a curated way (invariably that meant weather and news headlines). It was the classic problem big companies have with recognizing the long tail value of UGC: search was that little corner weirdo nerds went to when they were desperate to find some crappy GeoCities site about aliens. Normies just want to log on and consume curated MSNBC/online shopping.

Beyond lack of user interest, there was a consensus it was a fundamentally a bad business too. Advertising didn't monetize well back then. The ads came from generic DoubleClick banner ad inventory because ad networks and search weren't integrated, so users didn't click on them and rates were too low to justify investing. Especially because a search engine does a lot of expensive computation to show one page/ad impression but there's no way to earn enough from that one impression to pay for the servers (especially in the dotcom bubble when server class hardware was super expensive and scarce).

That's why when Google tried to sell itself to Yahoo for the princely sum of one million dollars Yahoo said no. It's also why DEC didn't invest in AltaVista's tech and why Google got a head start of six years before their IPO required financial disclosure and everyone suddenly realized all at once that wow, ok, search does matter actually. But by then it was too late to catch up.

From the perspective of entrepreneurs back then, Google was a terrible startup: a solution in search of a problem that lacked a workable business model. Fixing it required three insights:

1. Technical: PageRank served using cheap Linux PCs whilst designing for failure.

2. Problem: That users did actually care about result quality and it only seemed they didn't because everyone was at the same level of suck.

3. Business model: That you couldn't just build a search engine, you had to build an ad network too, and it had to sell text instead of images as otherwise you couldn't get relevance high enough to monetize.

So I think it doesn't fit well into the model espoused by this article. In particular there was no specific group of people declaring they had a problem. After all, there are plenty of search engines already, people aren't saying they want anything better because as far as they're concerned the market must have already converged on the best that can be done, and anyway the UGC long tail was small so why would you want to search it (no adsense=no targeting=poor monetization=no business model)

For the most part. There are outliers, especially in non-fiction the ones that makes it onto the bestseller lists at all are often very topical and so hard to predict runaway successes happen. And at least this year thrillers are also doing poorly.

Of the 20 best selling print books for adults so far in H1 2023 according to publishers weekly and Bookscan (so these are not total sales numbers, but they're pretty representative):

Romance: 11 out of 20. The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 8th 9th, 11th, 19th were all romance by Colleen Hoover alone (2nd and 3rd sold 885k and 882k each).

Non-fiction: 3 out of 20, including the 1st (prince Harry's biography; about 1.8m until end H1)

Non-genre fiction: 3 out of 20

Historical fiction: 1 out of 20

The first and only fantasy novel is the 11th: A Court of Thorns and Roses, which at 350k until end H1 is a breakaway success in fantasy.

Thrillers: 1

The number for e-books could very well shift that somewhat, but if you follow some writers on social media, you'll see romance readers churn through romance novels at an absolutely ridiculous rate.

The thing is the key demographics for fantasy and scifi don't read many books. As part of that demographics who does read, it's very noticeable how much of an outlier I am, and I still read a tiny fraction of what a relatively typical romance reader reads.

EDIT:

> As is often remarked the nerds won.

This is true, but not in books: Bertelsmann owns Penguin Random House and has a market cap of ~15bn Euro, and that also includes e.g. RTL and a bunch of non-publishing assets.

Electronic Arts has a market cap of $35bn. Activision has a market cap of $74bn.

"We" won through scifi and fantasy in other media far outdistancing books.

> The kind of thing a normal man couldn't really overcome.

Isn't one of the main points in Christianity that people have free will and so Satan wouldn't be entering and controlling Judas, but would more likely be telling him falsehoods and persuading him to sell Jesus out? i.e. a normal man can always overcome Satan by choosing God, even if it's just right at the end of their life.

Try living in an asian country - probably you will have to choose a name in the local script which at best vaguely sounds like your given name.

I love the author’s conclusion that ultimately the trendiest, hottest place with a line out the door and no chance of getting in is an abstract cultural concept. Often just a box that will soon go back to being just a box (or a baby carriage showroom.)
Do you mean greedy, as in the sense of a greedy algorithm? Because I don’t have a formal mathematical description for this, but it feels more ‘optimal’ than a purely greedy algorithm.

Local agent behaviour may be greedy, but this could still result in something approaching a global optimum - the economy could work like Ant Colony Optimisation in aggregate.

Isn’t this Adam Smith‘s theory?

> They are slow, too infrequent, and generally uncomfortable.

Uh, make them more frequent, more comfortable and faster?

I spend the last 15 minutes of my commute on a bus. Driving vs. bus + train = 3 minutes. I can drive, probably get stuck in traffic, get pissed at angry drivers ... or just chill on a bus and train for 45 minutes.

The only time it is worth driving is when I need to-the-minute exactness of when to arrive, which is rarely ever. IOW, I show up 10 minutes early to work (and also leave 10 minutes early) to be on the public transportation schedule.

Trains come every 10 minutes, busses every 15. I've never had any issues. Sure, I walk a whole 300 meters (1000ft) from the bus to my house, and again from the bus to work. But that is probably good for me since I don't get enough exercise as it is.
I've seen that forever and not just on United. I have thought it's something about the underlying SABRE system that many airlines use. Maybe someone here knows more.

This is the damn minutes from the commission meetings, which are being censored, not every little workgroup. And furthermore, this is not common knowledge. Most people are lead to think that the commission publishes full minutes from their meetings.

I can assure you that the censoring goes much deeper than this. EU and especially the commission are not being open, while working hard to create the impression that they are.
You seem to have some serious reading comprehension issues. The context of that phrase was this sentence:

"The point is that breaking legacy code doesn't have to be a show-stopper for eliminating the GIL, and backwards-compatibility does not have to be (indeed should not be) an overriding consideration in a GIL-free Python."

That has nothing to do with opt-in vs opt-out.
The point was that the people that read fantasy in the first place other than when nudged by movies is a tiny little subset of people.

And the proportion of people who rarely read fantasy who went on to read LOTR multiplied it's total global sales several times over in a few short years after it'd been out for half a century because of those movies.
Why are companies so willing to ignore information technology maintenance? If you have a 40-year-old roof, it will need to be replaced at some point. Why is this any different?

Surely they could think of a way to encode Unicode in EBCDIC.
I think your statement "adding to existing fulltext functionality" is subtly important: embeddings provide semantic search that complements traditional search algorithms.

Specifically, many applications are heavily dependent on names or other proper nouns, often without much context. You might refer to your dog by name without explanation, and a particular embedding might not pick that up. Proper names (people, places, street names) may have outsized importance for anchoring personalized or domain-specific search, but modest generic language models won't know about them.

Is there a specific way of dealing with this problem?
SiFive is a fabless prop chip designer, they build no fabs. Yes building fabs is heavy industrial investment, and thus less amenable to open models. Drawing the masks is not.

Lot of VC work is regulatory arbitrage: how to steal the flowers from the public park without going to prison. That's why they are so proud of all these local sectoral monopolies they established while the lawmakers were asleep at the wheel, or bought, so the normal limits on profit in a market economy, through competition, are suspended.

Bulk of VC compensation is management fees, wisely based on the "head I win tail you lose" model and losses are often outsourced to ordinary folks via institutions like the Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund.

Money is just the scoring system of the economic game. If the rich play zero sum games with the points with each other it's harmless, and much better than malinvestment in Yachts or Web3 platforms where actual steel and engineering capacity is taken away from better use cases.

That’s computer engineering, not computer science
That's a terrible argument and one that gets trotted out every time. We can do better than this. We should.

The CPC governing bodies are indirectly elected too, by members of the Party, of which most anyone can join. That doesn't make it democratic.

Let's not play fast and loose with democracy here. We deserve, and should agitate for, more representative democracies else we slide slowly toward the very tyrannies we oppose.
I see the deduction of mortgage interest on owner-occupied property as putting prospective owners on closer to equal footing as prospective landlords when competing for housing. (Business interest is a deductible expense.)

I don’t want the net financing costs for a rented property to be significantly lower, which would serve to help a landlord outbid an owner-occupant.

(Yes, there is also a social engineering component, but there’s a practical economics-based argument for it as well.)
I suspect driverless cars get more perceived attention because switching cars over will actually make a lot more money then building up a public transport system. Its a bit like with washing machines or TV sets. Selling to each and every individual household or even citizen is going to be more lucrative then maintaining shared infrastructure.
Does this mean that anyone who has a > 11 minutes walk each way to their office won't experience the negative effects of sitting all day at work? That seems like an easily reachable target in that case.

1) assert() only blows on _DEBUG builds
2) running out of memory for the process to allocate is a natural, normal thing, eg, maybe caused by VM or other limits. It shouldn't cause your process to terminate in an uncontrolled way
Didn't they do that to themselves? IIRC, it's like that because (A), they were the first to do underground rail so lots of things were done "wrong" (with what we know today), thus requiring lots of money to fix it. And, (B), any changes they make (even small ones) require redoing significant infrastructure because of (A).
Thank you for providing sanity here. Not every problem comes from idiot Americans just being lazy.
Very cool, and the approach demonstrated might be of interest to a similar problem we have in Ambient (our WASM game runtime that has competing processes that may need to retry interactions.)

For a moment this post made me think I was going crazy. This post is 3 days old but it shows that it was posted 5 hours ago. I thought it was a repost but then reading the comments, I was sure I had read the exactly same thing. Is it some HN bug?

this open box to start a project is the AI feature with lowest effort, they are bringing nothing not even a better UI but they have the userbase. Which is good to bring more customers to AI apps.

It is far worse for historical names, I agree.

I’m told today the transliterations are standardised enough that it doesn’t happen much. Greek and Russian friends describe less mangling of their names than I get.

Some comments are a prove of interesting history education, it's not about Jewish, it's about zionism, UK promised this land as safe land for zionists 1984, it's marketed as jewish but it was for zionists. before that date jewish used to live freely anywhere, in middle east, one proof of that is Asia cup 1939, Palestine team with jewish players.
after 1984, Britain sent zionists with weapons, and they formed organized groups to kick Palestinians out of the land, it' s not called selling if a gun at your face. then Palestinian started to fight back but with no weapons as Britains were already prisoning them.
what Palestinians are doing is clearly resisting occupation. you know a lot of modern so called heroes used to be called terrosits by the occupiers (Mandel, Malcolm X) . Western mentality won't get the idea of resistance espicially if they already stole the land of native americans and still economically occupying parts of Africa.

just think about Ukraine and if Russia wiped it and gave part of the lands to some troops , what would u call the resisting ukranians
1. Usually it's a multi-way tradeoff between how much data you want to use, how much compute you want to spend, how much time you have available, how much training data you have available and how accurate you want the embeddings to be.

2. Yes, but lossily. Some types of byte strings are such that it doesn't matter if you accidentally change a couple of bits, some types of byte strings cannot tolerate that at all without being hopelessly corrupted. This technique is not a magic card to surpass the limits imposed by information theory, it's "just" a more sophisticated dictionary for your compression algorithm.
