I love this guy! He's a very talented guy who devoted his life to open source.
The author is not unwilling to explain, he has lots of experience trying to explain and knows how hard it can be.

The best single sentence description, IMHO, is that GT (Glamorous Toolkit) is the current manifestation, implementation, proof of concept of the idea that making systems explainable through mouldable development is very powerful.

Furthermore it is a very nice tool in its own right (again IMHO).

Saying 'GT is x' where x is any of the subjects in the text is problematic. Most people will cling to one perspective, the one they are most familiar with or like the most, and mostly forget the other ones.

There is lots of stuff to read or watch:

- https://blog.feenk.com/
- https://book.gtoolkit.com

(BTW, everything you see in the above two web sites is actually written inside GT, notebook style with active content).

But reading about it is no substitute to trying it out and experiencing it yourself, though there is a learning curve for sure.

The only way that's physically possible is if these EV's are electric scooters.
If it's that easy for things to ferment, makes me wonder if drunkenness existed (in animals) before humanity
I actually concur, my DPF is a nagging beast and I hate it.

But I am betting that quite a lot of the electronic components of cars these days are tied to things, my DPF is a great example, that come from safety and environmental regulation. If you pull the ECU out and tricked the motor into running anyway, I am betting your emissions profile will suck massively. Ditto transmission. The rest of my car seems to involve safety features, sensors and cameras mostly.

By the time you reinvent the car to exclude all these things, then make it roadworthy again I reckon you would end up with almost exactly the standard modern car again. Car makers arent putting computers in for funsies.
There were a number of reports coming from conservative MPs of this very thing happening. Regardless of the veracity of their claims, the financial systems in place were able and prepared to do this, before the measures were lifted.

> i’d be willing to get an m3 ultra with 256gb ram just to avoid nvidia

The performance just isn't there unfortunately if you're comparing the Nvidia's high end where you'd be considering this. 3090 leaves the entire M range in the dust and a lot of things the XX90 series doesn't really break a sweat for like SDXL you can feel the M series choking under the weight of it and significantly longer processing even if it does have more ram.

I'd say the difference is closer with the llama.cpp stuff but image gen it's night and day.
The person who told me that made it sound like they were lucid dreaming every dream. Like they learned the trick so well they couldn’t turn it off. Don’t know how realistic that is.
I see. The P key isn't that ergonomically placed though; and again, one will have to do this time and again for each virtual environment, right?

Why not use native Python methods, namely endpoints, instead, and automate this away?
I recently read Nick Bostrom's "Superintelligence" and it's the most speculative and abstract piece I've ever encountered. Seemingly intelligent people can be so shallow and disconnected from reality it's not even funny. He defines his own analytical models sitting on abstract, intangible terms and then carries on with wild speculations and extrapolations, picturing a sci-fi dystopia.
Painfully, years ago I wrote a book with Web 3.0 in the title. For me that meant semantic web and linked data.

I am enjoying reading this entire thread. For AI skeptics: I am not trying to talk you into anything you don’t believe, but just as an experiment, whenever you think about LLMs, appreciate how well they generalize past things they have been trained on. Peter Norvig and a friend of his recently write an article arguing that LLMs probably meet our traditional criteria for AGI.

EDIT: I am aware of the recent paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.00871 that argues that LLMs have limited generalization capabilities, but I don’t agree.

I understand what you mean, I was saying that having to use such seating is likely to result in customers not returning to your coffee shop.

That might be ok if you're a tiny shop that only really wants to do takeaway but to me, most coffee shops are a place to relax and have a conversation with someone. A chair that becomes uncomfortable after a few minutes is in direct contradiction to that purpose and indicates either hubris or ignorance on the part of the owner.

Excellent summary.

That's whats said in the video at least in the first 10 seconds so it might be that multi-threading is just a too trivial term for the work here. (But haven't watched the video yet so just an observation.)

Congratulations! Vespa is by far the best open source search engine even starts from more than twenty years before. The code base is complicated to support web scale search and right now it could provide both full text search as well as vector search. As a long term memory for LLMs, vector search alone is evidently not enough, while sparse retrieval is also a MUST to be added. That's why Vespa could attract such funding even under current situation.

> The only player in town able to make ARM work on anything but smartphones and servers is Apple, and they don't (and never will, assuming regulators don't finally wake up and force them) sell to third parties.

I think that would be new territory for regulators. Have there ever been examples where they forced a vertical integrator to sell individual parts to other parties (either at mass to other manufacturers or to consumers?)
The only time I've ever gotten thrown out of a club I was thrown out of a London club "for being drunk" despite not having had a drink yet (and nothing else either), and just standing calmly by the bar. I think they'd just decided there was too much of a gender imbalance already and decided to throw out a number of guys, as I wasn't the only one. I take some pleasure from the fact that club went out of business a couple of years later. Central London clubs can be really brutal and arbitrary if you're a guy in particular (but certainly not only).

Outside of Central London things quickly get more reasonable.
Nothings stopping you from buying a 90s beater. For the rest of us the safety features are worth it. I’m betting it costs more to manufacture a safe modern car than a 90s one.

Not so I should use exotic plastic coatings (Teflon) and expensive cleaners to avoid. A few seconds gentle washing.

There's way, way too much made over so-called 'non-stick' pans. Worst experience I even had with sticking? A non-stick pan.
> Do you guys actually control your dreams?

For me, yes. Not always fully though. Depends on the level of lucidity.

> How do you keep bad things from happening?

When you are lucid, you don’t fear bad things. They seem merely interesting. In a lucid dream, usually the reality you’re in seems as real as the waking reality. Full resolution, full range of senses. Because it’s the same mechanism. Your brain is presenting a reality to your consciousness, doing the same job it does all the time, the only difference with real life is that it’s hallucinating the inputs instead of taking them from external world. Just like LLMs.

In order to maintain lucidity, you need to maintain a mental state what people with derealization disorders experience in real life: A sense of distance from what you see, touch and hear and a a constant knowledge that the world is not real. Again, because it all seems as real as the real world. Otherwise you can get caught up in the dream’s reality pretty easily, and when you do it just turns into a normal dream where you can get scared. Takes practice and meditation helps.

> More importantly, do you remember anything when you wake up?

You start to remember them once you start journaling your dreams. People only forget their dreams because they automatically label them as unreal and thus insignificant once they wake up. You remember what you deem important.

I practiced LD for a good while back then. Then life and stuff happened. Writing this just inspired me to start the habit (of LDing) again. Thank you.

Anyone can learn it, but it gets harder with age. I don’t check HN much, mail me if interested.
I saw a 8088 that had a frequency switch, but it was on the back and not labeled as "Turbo".
Well, can you explain why it applies here?

Mercurial vs. Git is IMHO a textbook example of "good enough with large user base" beats "subtly superior with smaller user base" over the long term.

I regularly see a squirrel (of the European red kind, far more reclusive and shy than their American relatives) frantically licking the varnish of a chair that lives on my balcony. Looks very much like a drug habit, I hope it's not too unhealthy.
Ah yes, but that is huge difference. Supporting private businesses that makes sense (free market) sounds more effective for me than collecting taxes and distribute it by centralised power. Decentralisation of financial system is a way that could fix many inequalities in society.

Not a cook, are we? You put wine in there to get all the 'fond' back into the finished dish, so it tastes yards better. Not a burden or a duty; something good cooks know to do.

I never seasoned my pan. I never work to clean it, not any more than washing that non-stick on.

We've been sold a bill of goods, by the non-stick pan people, that there's some problem that needs solving. There isn't. The worst sticking problem I ever had, was with a non-stick pan. Threw it away, went back to iron.
Hi, nice project. The Single Sign On using Gitlab does not work
Yeah, but most people opt for exchanges and VC-backed wallets instead of dealing with custody.
The reality has become even more regulated than banks. I've lost access to my Coinbase account, which I used to facilitate some fiat/crypto transactions, simply because of my nationality (I'm Russian but have been living outside of Russia for a decade). It was right after the 22/02 and the massive sanctions.

I wouldn't say fintech or neobanks are very trustworthy. Wise, a fintech platform, blocked my company's account for four weeks for "further investigation" right after the war as well. This caused me to miss bill payments.

I think the only way to mitigate the risk of a bank taking over your funds is to not store all your money in one account. Now, I have over 20 different accounts.

> I want the pendulum to swing the other way. Everybody gets and gets to keep forever an account at the Reserve Bank.

Overhauling the financial system to ensure that citizens cannot have their accounts revoked on a whim sounds like a nice pipe dream. I am cynical we will ever see that in our lifetime, as countries prefer to have full control over their citizen's wallets (e.g. see Canada enacting Emergencies Act to curb protests).
if your income was tripled and your costs tripled, your savings are also tripled

I use Debian because it is boring and stable. My core system is small and never changes by design. For anything that needs bells and whistles I either spin up a VM, use another package manager or build from source.

I'm surprised they haven't caught on yet, sounds like all it would take would be a note on his account, this is a fairly well known strategy.
I don't think exchange is enough to implement all (or even most) lock-free/wait-free algorithms. CAS (i.e. lock cmpxchg), or an equivalent primitive in power, is needed.

XCHG is enough to implement a mutex though, which is what most applications need.
The thing about git is that while it does leak the implementation a bit and some of the CLI commands show their history of its emergency cobbling-together, it supports many many workflows equally well. At the expense of not having one completely gleamingly-simple happy path as a first-class citizen. It's a bit like C in that respect, which isn't especially surprising considering the inventor.
The thesis described the Sphinx speech to text system. It ran, if I remember correctly, on a few VAX minicomputers.

In the early part of my career (first 20 years) I concentrated on tackling very difficult problems wherever I worked, accepting some failures and some successes. Reading his thesis was important to me because it gave me a feeling for trying to solve hard problems in a low resource environment (although I did have a Lisp Machine, access to a Connection Machine and a Butterfly Machine - so not terribly resource poor!)

For what it’s worth: I am in my 70s, still waste deep in AI tech, and I still look for a few people to follow to get inspired.
Yes. That said, it took me a while using it to figure out that one non-obvious key feature here is that “easy” means that they’ve made it cheap enough where one automatically changes their behavior and actually does create ubiquitous custom tools, where in other systems extension is more an afterthought, or at least distinct from “regular programming”
Similarly, not de-banked, but I did recently have a payment blocked, with no explanation from my bank other than that the recipient seemed suspicious.
It was a payment made in person to a garage that had just serviced my car, to which I've been going for servicing for ~15 years, for an amount similar to the usual cost.
This was rather worrying as if they'd block that I have no idea what other payments might mysteriously fail (the bank's agent did not seem to understand why this might be a concern).
This almost caused me an existential time crisis until I drew out my own year and realized it’s still as I remember. It just gets a bit smeared out in my head.

You can very well control when they occur, e.g. if you do WILD (wake-induced lucid dream) techniques. There’s a lot of myths around LD.

FWIW the clear difference here is that if someone is banned over one thing, their ban might later be reversed if that thing is no longer considered bannable or if opinions on the incident change.

If they did 170 different things, each one warranting a ban, the only way for the ban to be lifted would be for each of those 170 things being dismissed individually.

The same goes for doing one bannable thing but "a lot" or to a very extreme degree. Say, defacing a Wikipedia article with a bogus message versus defacing the entire Wikipedia website with borderline illegal graphic content.

There's arguably no "mildly" banned but this distinction makes sense in a lot of contexts to give a rough idea of context: a corpse is dead but the scattered remains of someone caught up in a high yield explosions are extremely dead as even in a sci-fi story it would be hard to imagine them being "revived", a dainty woman might be pregnant but if she's visibly close to delivery with a pronounced waddle and struggling to get up after sitting down, it would be fair to call her extremely pregnant as there's no denying her state whereas the pregnancy might have been hard to even notice a few months earlier.

English lacks a grammatical signifier for evidence or degrees of confidence (no, the English subjunctive is a poor approximation at best and mostly limited to expressing explicit doubt) so superlatives are a good way to express high levels of confidence. "I am banned" means you're banned but leaves room for the possibility that this might change or be reversed. "I am extremely banned" suggests it's that way now and there's nothing to change that and nobody will likely ever be interested in changing that in the future.

Yeah, that can happen. You eventually learn to stop controlling the dreams and instead let them unfold like a movie. They become not very different from non-lucid dreams in a practical sense, other than the fact that you still know they are an illusion.
