Awesome work! Here's a recent paper released yesterday, also focused on efficiently serving many LoRAs simultaneously: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03285

Really looking forward to these innovations becoming more widespread -- I expect we're very close to a world where training a LoRA on a one-off task like "review every HN post from the last 3 years and flag any of them that contain informed speculation about the architecture of GPT-4" will be easy, cheap and routine.
Wow, so this would almost be newsworthy!

Nothing to do with Python? These FFI bindings exist because Python is slow as dirt.
All you are saying is that you have been been working on trivial software systems and haven't been exposed to anything particularly large scale or complex so far in your career.

Also you must be confusing basic arithmetic (1+1=2) with mathematics in general.

Go read some papers on deep learning architectures or learn about the Fourier Transform then come back and tell us how shallow and simple it is.

Mathematics requires the most sophisticated and deep thinking that the human species is capable of. Very few humans have the raw intellectual capacity required for being a productive mathematician.
Not sure if you are from the US, but apartments in the US will give you a very different idea of apartment living than you can get in other countries. Due to restrictive fire cods, US apartment either are terrible or terribly expensive. https://www.niskanencenter.org/how-to-build-more-family-size...

I am not related to Phind or any other AI company, but yes, this is definitely the case, and you should assume that they will be ingesting your code through regular web scrapes now (giving extremely general knowledge about your library) and through reading specifically the library source code soon (this is what you are asking about here). If you wanted to try this strategy, I would suggest that you do it by providing the model with a large database of high-quality examples specific to your library (so, perhaps the examples section of your website, plus snippets from open source projects that use the library). These will probably be the last to be specifically ingested by general coding models.
Determinants Made Easy
A recent post mentioned _Linear Algebra Done Right_ by Sheldon Axler. He seems to have an axe to grind about leaving determinants to the last chapter of his book. I can't blame him. When I took Linear Algebra in college, I found them confusing too. Hermann Grassmann showed the easy way.
> That is an outlier, though.

Can you point me at data?

This is always stated as truth but I always question it and have not seen anything conclusive yet.

Personally I've never lived in a suburb where I couldn't walk to supermarkets and other stores (and I've nearly always lived in suburbs).

I think the outlier is the suburb from where one can't walk anywhere. Would love to see comprehensive data on this.
problem is keeping up with the volume of new books/articles coming out daily.

More than that, it's a filter for screening out people with less good English skills or a different cultural background.

Any job that asks me to start the relationship with non-technical fantasy scenarios, is a non-starter for me. At least lip service toward that viewpoint is paid.
Many rust crates actually do package code written in other languages. There are plenty of useful C/C++/Fortran libraries that nobody has rewritten into Rust but for which wrappers have been created that call into C. It works in Rust because the build.rs lets libraries do whatever they want during the build process, including invoking compilers for other languages.

Various factors still make the Rust and Python story different (Python uses more mixed-language packages, the Rust demographic is more technically advanced, etc). But a big one is that in Rust, the FFI is defined in Rust. Recompiling just the Rust code gives you an updated FFI compatible with your version of Rust. In Python, the FFI is typically defined in C, so recompiling the python won't get you a compatible FFI. If Python did all FFI through something like ctypes, it would be much more smooth.

'Author of fiction' and philosopher aren't in any way mutually exclusive. If a fictional story contains new philosophical ideas, it's both philosophy and fiction, and should not in any way devalue the philosophy as somehow less serious. Some of the most famous philosophical books are formatted as fictional stories- like Nietzsche's Zarathustra. Even Plato's Socratic dialogue uses fictional conversations to explain philosophy.

Rand's fiction books seem like thinly veiled philosophy- there is not much story or character development, and very long rants about ideas. I think it's worth mentioning in the context of Rand that Terry Goodkind is a very popular fantasy novelist whose books are also all based on Objectivism.

The purpose of banking for most people is to put their money in so they don't need to carry cash around, but the purpose of banking for banks has been to make profit by gambling the money people are giving you for safekeeping.

A bit like the relationship between Gmail and personal data, really.
OK but if you have large amounts of unused code throughout the codebase, mistakes are more likely to be "missed, blindly trusted, or just misunderstood".
Maybe I'm biased, being in EU and all. But I've seen more Linux than Windows in those environments.
> there's an element of artificiality to them. In particular, testing the performance of the sync system while simulating many users typing into the same document doesn't really measure behaviour we have observed "in the wild".

I've seen Matt's work and I think it's quite reasonable to benchmark a concurrent datastructure under concurrent load. Placing systems under high load, even just as a limit study, is how we reveal scalability bottlenecks, optimize them, and avoid pathologies. It's part of good engineering.

If your work can produce more representative workloads from the real world, then they could add to the field's knowledge with new benchmarks.
What I really want to see more than anything is an upfront explanation of what the paper’s novel new technique or idea is. Sometimes abstracts include that, but not always, but I wish it were SOP for all scientific or technical papers to include in the abstract. If AI could make it SOP that would be an improvement, but it may take AGI to be able to make that distinction.
this lever on inflation is delayed though.

like they print a billion today, we dont see the inflation effect for a couple of years.

there are other effects that trigger inflation as well.
safest place for that is in a communist state, where crime is a monopoly of the Party.
It should be unconstitutional for them to prohibit that.
> Unless we import a shit load of migrants who can also afford expensive real estate, or we print money so that institutions can buy these properties, the prices are going to sink like crazy.

Likely the powers that be will print money to hand over to institutions to gobble up real estate who will then rent out the properties to the incoming mass migration wave into the US. Most of these new arrivals have a almost zero percent chance of becoming home owners with the current pricing and wage suppression going on.

It seems to me various real estate investment groups have essentially unlimited lines of credit to buy up properties. On the commercial side they seemingly can ride out many of their units being empty for YEARS.
> You don't know what you're saying. That's because of virtual memory and its much slower.

All memory is virtualized by the operating system; applications don't 'see' physical address space.

we did definitely, but i think we may have over-estimated the minimum requirements of a 'teachable moment' and can afford to experiment with dialing it back a few notches

The article addresses your concerns regarding QA:

> One of the myths is that testing is done by developers and hence QA teams will become redundant. In reality, QA teams will work more closely with development teams. Developers will be aware of testing needs. Testers will get insights into what's being developed. A related myth is that Shift Left is not aligned to Agile practices. This myth is also busted since greater collaboration between QA and development teams means that they can iterate faster.

It hurts me deep in my soul that I can actually see such a kafkaesque monstruosity become reality.
The goals for politicians are not the same goals for you and I. They don't have the goal to protect people from fraud, or whatever they said their goal was.
Nothing to do with margins. It’s price discrimination. Anybody who has $200 more to spare will buy the upgrade because you’d be crazy not to. People on a budget, or who don’t know any better, will get the base model.
I have my HN name @gmail.com, but I've never used it, because the amount of junk/mistakes I get from people who don't understand what their email address is. I wonder how bad that problem would be for me with the same name on Signal.

I also wonder about personas. Are there privacy ramifications to which name you pick? Can you pick multiple so community X knows you as A and Y knows you as B?

Sounds kinda silly, but for a private-by-default messenger, there are interesting UX problems.
Well, part of it is really Python's age and legacy. We are talking about going back to 1996. So much of python's development was ducktape through history in response to the changing world and whims of the contributors.

I'm not saying it's an excuse but it's just how it got to where it was. Newer languages have alot of lessons learnt to build upon to be decent from day 0.
We can at least ask developers to write proper tests and own (be on call) for their own mistakes. I think having a separate QA team write tests leads to bad incentives. If I were to set up a QA Team they would write tools under the platform engineering org.
Good advice!

I go one step further with buttons in my own React UI library, and I wish all UI libraries did the same:

When a button is “disabled”, it should show why either on hover or on click.

It’s a common frustration in software, especially complex ones like Adobe Photoshop or Autodesk Fusion 360, where a button is disabled and you cannot figure out why. For example: you can’t fill because it’s a “smart layer” and you need to rasterise it. Or you can’t “join” because both CAD bodies are fixed.

The programs KNOW why the button is disabled — otherwise how would it know to disable the button! So show the user why!

This alone would save countless person-hours and reduce a lot of frustration.
Would it make sense to force new wells to pay a $500K deposit (can vary depending on size) to be held in escrow by the state/federal government in case of abandonment?
yes it was very eye opening. i often see people comparing their favourite package manager to pythons and coming to the conclusion that python is terrible, but its not! one thing i dont quite understand, is why dont the python people just use a c/c++ math library instead of fortran?
> which has (probably) caused a lot more units to be built than would have otherwise.

You would think so, but in the US's tightest property markets its basically impossible to build new housing due to some combination of zoning, local review boards, NIMBY activists, and onerous environmental regulations (thing will this increase school demand not will it spew toxic waste).
You folks all know that mcsweeneys is a parody piece, right? Complaints about this article sounds like "whoosh".

DALL-E 3 isn't available via API or labs. If you don't use ChatGPT you get the (significantly lower quality) DALL-E 2 at the moment. That's supposed to change by the end of fall.

One of the most frustrating things with "Open"AI is you can't just use what they announce as available, you have to wait for an A/B rollout (as a paying customer!) or for it to be accessible in direct way instead of going through multiple models when you just want an image.

> The NSA has built a surveillance network that has the capacity to reach roughly 75% of all U.S. Internet traffic.

> An internal NSA audit from May 2012 identified 2776 incidents i.e. violations of the rules or court orders for surveillance of Americans and foreign targets in the U.S. in the period from April 2011 through March 2012, while U.S. officials stressed that any mistakes are not intentional.

> The FISA Court that is supposed to provide critical oversight of the U.S. government's vast spying programs has limited ability to do so and it must trust the government to report when it improperly spies on Americans.

"trust me bro"

> A legal opinion declassified on August 21, 2013, revealed that the NSA intercepted for three years as many as 56,000 electronic communications a year of Americans not suspected of having links to terrorism, before FISA court that oversees surveillance found the operation unconstitutional in 2011.

Hey at least it's covered under Section 702 though! They are policing themselves because the courts are too busy, but that's fine, and all those accidental times they broke the law, won't happen again, trust us! It was only 56,000 times they broke the law anyway!
I assume there's some regulation against only insuring drivers with perfect records? Otherwise I think I would have heard of it by now. I see the logic you're using, but considering that almost nobody would have insurance if their lender/state didn't force them to, the same number of people would have insurance regardless of whether they advertised. It's a zero-sum game, no? Separately, the same ads that might attract good drivers to my pool could also attract bad, and sadly I suspect that the people who are persuaded by ads are slightly less intelligent and more risky behind the wheel.
It’s crazy how sudden and complete the transition to and reliance on chatGPT is. These are the last days of our profession boys, enjoy it.
You're absolutely right. It took me years to spoon feed myself web development while on the clock. I don't think there's a proper path forward for learning HTML and everyone has different opinions. But learning about WCAG should come right after learning HTML and CSS. Study BEM and a CSS library. Then basic Javascript or framework basics follow by CSS and JS molecular design principals with JSON and fetching. Then apply HTML semantics to write user actor tests.

Anything I missed it's because I still haven't learned it so yes, it's a crazy world.
No, it means that I have an 8GB M1 and have never encountered the low memory popup.
Ah that makes sense. Thank you!
Oh shut up. You’re not for free speech, you’re for “everyone has to see/hear my speech”. People voted and they don’t want this on the front page.
Strasburg got 7 years and $245 million from The Nationals and I think pitched 8 games before retiring and collecting the whole bag.
Yeah, I didn't want to get that far into it. For example, today I visited a store, my favourite coffee shop, a pharmacy, and two grocery stores in the span of a little more than an hour. I didn't even cycle, I just walked. The first store was 10 mins away from home.

And that's an abnormal trip for me, I usually just pop into a grocery store on my walk home from work. If all I wanted to buy was milk, the overhead would be 5 mins.
I lived through the 70s. Worked at the BBC for a while. Nonces (kiddy
fiddlers) are a social psychiatric problem. Policing networks or
endpoints is treating the symptoms.

Nonetheless I agree the utility that children get from access to the
mainstream "Five Giant Enshitified Websites" doesn't really surmount
the damage done. The main harm, in my opinion, is simply to general
mental health and wellbeing. So that just adds to the case for an age
restriction for smartphones. If that reduces potential contact with
nonces then all-good, but the reality is that child abuse happens by
people IRL, usually trusted family or neighbours.

Maybe the tide is turning and we're "getting there", and that's why I
defended and supported many parts of the UK Online Safety Bill - even
though other parts of it are trash. However this focus on CSAM to push
unworkable restrictions is the usual dishonest politics and posturing.

We have more general problems with minors and the Internet, and most
of them are "live rail" issues the media and politicians won't touch.
So maybe it's a bad business model. If your business model requires you to choose between rampant fraud or randomly firing customers, it's a bad business model.
Hopefully in the future we begin to understand that this way of supporting authors severely limits progress in our society due to our inability to share books as widely as possible.

Some people really cared about not publishing their phone numbers, and Signal emphasises user compatibility. In a way, Signal aims for the best security that an IM can provide while being usable for a wide audience.
I put it to you that most of us did not need a paragraph of ten-dollar words to dismiss skepticism and relativism, and that serious academic study of philosophy puts one at higher, not lower, risk of embracing such nonsense. Metaphysics may not be inherently bullshit, but empirically the study of it seems to be so in practice.
I don't care who or what they are the fathers of, I just find that their music resonates with me in a very special way no other band's does. It has tension and & release on many scales and dimensions at once.

Fair enough. They got in to the cloud business. Substantially behind AWS but ahead of Google Cloud. So I'll grant them that, which is good since "consumer Windows" is probably the fastest shrinking market in computing.
It makes sense, but when would you ever memcpy with overlap? I would think any situation that lets that happen is from a bug, like you have an incorrect buffer length or an incorrect destination address.
The downturn was brutal, but the drop in development was also needed.

At the height of the property bubble around 2005-2007, Spain (pop ~44M) was building more units per year than Germany, France and the UK (combined pop. ~195M).[1]

During the GFC Spain suffered from population shrinkage [2], surfeit of available housing stock, and the economic crunch pushed into the market some of the housing stock that would previously have been kept in reserve, so yeah, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing that building activities slowed down.

[1] I don't have a source, because I learnt this from a bunch of attendees to a conference on concrete (yes, the kind you use for building) in Madrid in 2007. We exchanged impressions on how software conferences (PyCon forever!) are different from the ones in the building industry, and they shared some eye opening statistics.

because there's real usability tradeoffs. Signal's local encryption means there's no history sharing on new devices and essentially loss of the data should you ever lose the device/key, and that for many people is a deal breaker.

Careful now. Literacy is a noble goal, but piracy is still a crime. Once you start taking down sites for things that aren't crimes, everything's fair game.

Considering current events in Israel and the absurd PR war on social media, it doesn't take much for even a Jew to earn the anti-Semitic achievement right now.

Developers and QA teams should be doing different kinds of testing. Devs should be writing the majority of tests that can be automated. QA teams should be testing for things that can't be or are difficult to automate (e.g. UI/UX) and trying to break things in ways developers don't usually think about.
