I've certainly been conscious of it for most of my life. I was moved around double-digit number of times when I was still single digits of age, so the outsider perspective is uncomfortably familiar, like a suit of armor into which I was riveted. Bryan Ferry covered "The In Crowd" particularly well: "I'm in with the In Crowd, I go where the In Crowd goes / I'm in with the In Crowd, I know what the In Crowd knows."

The song covers status, respect, sexual availability, and so on. As we are not barnacles, the proper environment of Man is Man. Forget the deserts and the prairies, the jungles or tundra. We live with others of our species first and foremost, and that in turn means hierarchy and its hangups, position and its privileges. The Inner Ring gets you companionship, a stronger support network, and a greater availability of opportunity (social, romantic, professional). Outside of it and you're left scrabbling for the same things.

I saw it in grade school and then high school. I went to college and I found an Inner Ring among the students who all decided to live in the A-Frames; their social graph was incredibly dense and, when I sleuth through Facebook years later, has yet to be fully teased apart. It has arisen anywhere I have worked where sufficient numbers of people existed. Once you pick up on it, it shows itself over and over.

Now, I disagree with Lewis largely over his attempts at consolation via some kind of nebulous and unspoken (even unconscious) runner-up respect for not having compromised ones values or some nonsense, a bit like a Promised Land to which the faithful will eventually be granted entry. It's the usual Christian refrain of "You will have wealth ... in your heart." At worst, it's a kind of "stay in your place" classism, designed to keep the credulous recipient of this "wisdom" passive. Generally, when you hear about some virtue and notice that possession of this virtue benefits others, and you hear about this virtue from others, add a little suspicion to the mix before you swallow it whole. Being staid and unstriving is certainly convenient for some people, other people.

Lewis was almost certainly of an Inner Ring himself, given what you read of his contemporaries, so in a more cynical sense, he is attempting to keep that Inner Ring small (one of the commandments of being in an Inner Ring is that one must not allow in riff-raff) by suggesting that desiring leads to some flavor of moral compromise and you've got the nice parallel that craving leads to suffering.

Quite a lot of people have a vested interest in keeping you where you are. Remember that when you hear someone pooh-poohing some social or financial upward mobility. We can't all be nobility, so let's have the suckers filter themselves out.

First time for everything. That’s what they used to say about Google.
Congrats, this looks fantastic and will be useful for many!
I’m sure the industry has standards for assigning blame, but it looks to me that ATC is clearly being assholes here.

Even from this article that clearly seems to think Lufthansa is in the wrong I walked away with a feeling that ATC and small town cops are one and the same.
> Rather that it was expensive to automate for all the hardware variations that were around

Is the “automate” that I’ve italicized supposed to be hand-tune or something along those lines? If so, I think I agree. I think this was the justification for it, and it made sense at the time, and it might make sense for future architectures or exotic ones now.

But eventually Kazushige Gotō wrote gotoBLAS, which really emphasized the importance of the matrix-multiplication kernel and showed how much performance could come from getting it right. Since it is only a handful of routines, it is possible to hand-tune them. BLIS went on to formalize this in a nice open-source library, so any vendor can drop their kernels in.

What is special about a particular CPU from this point of view is the SIMD extension and the cache hierarchy/memory system. SIMD extensions, somebody will write a matrix-multiply kernel in assembly or intrinsics before optimizing compilers get really good at using that extension (if they ever get to it!). Cache hierarchy is more abstractable I guess, but there are lots of rectangles and other nice shapes that dedicated tuners can think about, i.e, (PDF warning)

I’m sure one could search across all the possible sizes, but it is easier to just have a human identify the right ones.

Maybe someone can train an ML model to identify good sizes. Machine learning uses lots of linear algebra, so I guess we’ll have a nice feedback loop, maybe that will kick off the singularity, haha.
That doesn't work in a lot of cases though. It's the RTO/WFH struggle. If teachers decide they don't want to be in a classroom, sending your kid in isn't very practical. Or is it only parents who get a choice?
This "scientific article" isn't worth the bits on the hard drive its written on. It uses simple propaganda techniques to manipulate CDC data to give the desired answer. Firstly it only measures up through 2020, even though well before the time of publishing more data was available, why is that? It is to do the number crunching as close to the bottom of the Covid lockdown curve for car accidents (more WFH/distance learning = less car accidents). Except, that alone doesn't give the desired result, so they have to change what the definition of what a child is to include 18 and 19 year old adults, but that STILL isn't enough, so they need to exclude 0 - 1 year old children. I would be ashamed to have that attached to my name, let alone have it published in a journal of medicine.

Honestly, everyone working with C++ sticks to a select subset of the language that they've chosen for their project, or the project they're contributing to. Nobody knows all of C++. Personally, I don't mind C++ forking out in different directions and accepting diverse proposals; while I wouldn't bother to use them myself, I realize that it may be useful to other people.

C++ is an engineer's language, and it's ridiculous to imagine that we'd ever need a C++2.0 that cleans it up. Subjectively, you could say that some features are "ugly", but this is an evolutionary process, and there are bound to be vestigial features.

Yes, there are memory safety issues, but in practice, these are isolated in very few places. Take a compiler like LLVM for instance: most developers are working on transforms or analyses, and they're exposed to zero manual memory management. Sure, the Pass Manager needs to build passes, and the IR needs to be allocated, but that's about all the manual memory management there is.

Personally, I couldn't care less about standardized argv-parsing, as each project has its own set of complex requirements. There are JSON parsing libraries available for C++, and I don't see why it should be standardized. Faster hashing in std could be a low-priority feature, but projects like LLVM have their own optimized version of std data structures and algorithms.

I suppose a module system could be useful; most C++ projects are built with CMake which is already very good at finding and linking dependencies. Personally, my biggest pain point is compile-times, but that's really an LLVM/Clang problem.

Overall, the article doesn't seem to be written by someone who has a lot of experience with large C++ codebases.
Ultimate is $101/yr (year 3+). I can think of very few things that provide even a fraction of the value at that low of a cost. And no, I don't see VSCode as equivalent to IDEA Ultimate, not in the slightest. Maybe with many, many hours of config I could get it close but even then VSCode plugins are so painful to manage and configure (and make sure they don't step on each other's feet).
That’s not a thing most people have set up (even if they should).
I have a PhD in astronomy, and I did too.
What is a real thing: various government organizations arguing that projects should move towards memory safe languages.

What is not a real thing: regulations requiring such.

Some think regulations may come, others don't.
Interesting and fun project! I found the MFM encoding page particularly enlightening as it explained why you have to write a full sector at a time on a floppy, even though there's nothing physically constraining you to that so far as I could see on the electromechanical/hardware side of things.

And on that page the "make sure the compiler didn't inject 10,000 lines of boundary checks" bit told me everything I needed to know about what language the project was written in :lol: - here's the link to the driver: https://github.com/SharpCoder/floppy-driver-rs

(Side note: I'm glad to see the Teensy continuing to get love; I adopted it back when it was at v1 and v2 as it was just such a complete no-brainer of a better choice than the Arduino stack everyone was using back then. I think now there's even an Arduino-on-Teensy software stack, but I've moved to just using STM32 directly even for just fun home hacks and have greatly enjoyed coding for that target in rust.)
Interesting. I have 64GB of RAM and yet this page managed to kill the tab entirely.
That wouldn't change anything. The judge would rule that's clearly a joke, and the plaintiff would still lose.

No. Word2Vec takes in words and converts them to a high dimensional vector. The relationship between the vectors in terms of cosine distance generally indicates similarity of meaning. The vector difference in terms can be used to indicate some relationship, for example [father]-[mother] is close in distance to [male]-[female].

There's nothing like an abstract syntax tree, nor anything programmatic in the traditional meaning of programming going on inside the math of an LLM. It's all just weights and wibbly-wobbly / timey-whimey stuff in there.
No, it's tiresome for just about everyone paying attention to LLMs.

Yeah, probably should have left the religion analogy out. It wasn't essential to the point you were making and was based on a false model of religion.

There's actually a pretty complex matrix in religious disagreement with or without exclusivity. And not all religions are exclusive at all. Islam's views of other Abrahamic religions is complicated, but it is exclusive about non-Abrahamic religions. Christianity sees Judaism as having been correct, but incomplete. Hinduism isn't essentially exclusionary (particularly to other religions which evolved from old Vedic practices), but is often confused with modern Hindu nationalism, which is. And even within single "religions" there are complicated lines where e.g. some Christians consider themselves to be in "communion" with some Christians, but not others.

So, yeah, bad example. It's a terrible thing to have pulled out to try to show clear mutually exclusive groups.

My most recent invoice from Jetbrains was $109. In the previous 4 years, it was $96. I have the 40% continuity discount since I first purchased a license in 2015. I have the "IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate" license, FWIW.

I don't see myself switching to another IDE. $109 is a drop in the bucket. I also use VSCode, mostly for non-code text editing. Relearning and configuring keybinds would be enough to keep me on Jetbrains unless they absolutely screw the pooch.

One thing that always surprises me is how toothless any anti-trust settlement is. I don't think I have ever seen an anti-trust fine that was so painful that it would deter people from trying to do it in the first place. It almost always is a sum that would encourage anti-competitive behavior in the future because the fine is so much less than the spoils of the behavior.

I'm fairly blockchain-ignorant despite having read up on it quite a bit, but THIS sort of task seems to me a pretty good use of blockchain. It wouldn't need to necessarily run in an entirely de-centralised set up, but how that would work (eg. sharing amongst a limited number of trustable centralised parties), I don't know.

I did mull over something similar for voting a few years back, scrawling sides of A2-paper with notes and diagrams on the subject, but I'll be damned if I can make head or tail of whatever I wrote back then. I was a bit drunk at the time.

What would have been a better example?

The problem with trying to come up with examples of large numbers of people holding objectively false beliefs is that you have to look outside the realm of science. The whole point of science is that it provides a mechanism for resolving disagreements about objective truth objectively (i.e. experiment) and so you just don't get a lot of people holding objectively false beliefs, at least not for any length of time. Religion is all that's left.
Sorry for the contrived example. My whole point was that you have to use the debugger in order to read code. I'm not unwilling to do it, it's just extremely unproductive vs reading code that's understandable without having to reverse engineer it.

Your "should" is just your personal feelings. When it went to court, the judge would agree with me, because for one he's not supposed to have any personal feelings in the matter, and for two they've ruled repeatedly in the past that such frivolous notions as yours don't hold up... thus both precedence and rationale.

The courts simply aren't a mechanism for you to enforce your views on how important website engineering is.
You can but it's definitely not easy to do correctly.

There's also a lack of traits that can describe what's required of a specialized allocator. For example, std::map only needs to allocate 1 object at a time in practice while std::vector needs to allocate a contiguous count of objects.

This MIT Press article was quite the review of 2023's genAI layperson boom!

I particularly enjoyed Ilya's pre-Nov30 ChatGPT release comments that "it's not very good, and makes a lot of mistakes" [talking about GPT3.5 backend].

Also interesting were the links to 2 other studies; the Boston Consulting Group study shows that among these elite consultants, the bottom half [IQ wise] benefited +45% from access to GPT-4; the top half [IQ] still benefite +17% [completed tasks].

I have agreed with the basic premise of most of the paper authors, for about one year: these LLMs are NOT sentient, but are powerful in ways unknown to even the creators. Both myself and the paper authors seem to agree that JOB output will be, and already is, affected by publicly-accessible LLM-agents.

I completely agree, the Voyager photographs have a certain je ne sais quoi to them that Webb never did. Of course there are differences in processing, and the visible vs infrared plays a role, but at the end of the day I think the biggest part is the various artifacts of the lens+sensor systems JWST has. This is most obvious in the lower quality images; compare JWST's Uranus and Voyager 2's Neptune for two "low-quality" images with artifacts. Or, for higher quality, Hubble vs JWST's Pillars of Creation. To me, the former could be on a poster on any kid's wall and the latter could not.

That said, JWST does have some images with an ethereal quality of that bygone age of space. Its images of Jupiter's auroras and the Whirlpool Galaxy make me feel quite some things, and it did by far the best NGC 1433.
TLDR: Google was exploiting “openness” as a concept while actively not being open. This is a win for openness, not a loss as op asserts.

It’s neat that you make this a Google vs apple thing somehow, but the walled garden had very little to do with the lawsuit.

Google was found to be engaging in anti-competitive behaviour. This behaviour is used by at least some consumers to make decisions (being an “open platform”), but which Google was forcibly manipulating behind to scenes to not actually be as open as they were pretending to be.

You can call it just “apple keeping a walled garden” all you like, it doesn’t change that Google was attempting to shift market behaviours based on what was demonstrably a lie. For all intents and purposes, Google *was a walled garden*, and comments like yours show that their manipulation worked.

You need to pick the correct model size and quantization for the amount of GPU RAM you have. For any given model don’t download the default file, instead go to Tags section on Ollama’s page and pick a quantization whose size in GB is at most 2/3rd of your available RAM, and it should work. For example in your case Mistral-7B q4_0 and even q8_0 should work perfectly.
Indeed, that's kinda my point. It seems like a desperate attempt to force licensing talks, it was never going to happen without getting licensed, and licensing was probably never going to happen organically.

It seems they were hoping they could win the suit and force licensing as part of the settlement, which would return the derivative work under Tolkien estate and allow Amazon to use it. In the other case, they were going to get shot down, but then they hoped that the lengthy process of examining the work would convince the estate it was a worthy sequel, and the Tolkien estate would take a cut of the book sales in return for officially licensing it.

This was always going to end up in the courts, they probably thought suing first for infringement would be favorable to them rather than wait to get sued later.
