I'm just thinking out loud. Nothing in this post is authoritative.

Theoretically, the time consumed to inference a single token with part of the model stored in flash should be equal to the time to inference that token if the whole model was in RAM, plus the time required to load the part of the model stored in flash memory.

I assume we do not need to write back to flash, but I'm not an LLM expert so I could be wrong.

I assume we have many (more than 10) layers so we can leave a fairly small amount of our RAM available to load one layer after another. Most nontrivial LLMs have many dozens of layers, so this seems plausible.

If we are not bottlenecking on our RAM during inferencing then we might be able to load the next layer from flash into RAM through a DMA transfer while inferencing our current layer. I don't think that would work on single-processor systems due to us always bottlenecking on RAM.

Maybe a dual-processor system could load one layer into RAM on one processor while inferencing on the previous layer on the other processor, and thus run really big LLMs in a small amount of RAM?

I'm sitting next to a pile of parts to build a new LLM AI machine. (z840, dual processor) and I look forward to playing with this stuff.
I think you do if you're talking about changing public policy (law-making). Or maybe you're not doing that and just trying to create pressure from the buying public. Fair enough.

In that case, why should Apple listen to you? You're not their customer. You've admitted that you don't like them as a company, so you'd never buy their products. They have no reason to listen to anything you say. Likewise for anyone who agrees with you (other people who don't like Apple or their products).

If you're hoping to get people who do like Apple products on your side, well, good luck with that. These people tend to be quite happy with their purchases, and happy with iMessage in general. I have no problems messaging Android users on my phone. It makes no difference whatsoever to me whether Apple releases iMessage for Android or not, so why should I put pressure on Apple to do that? I'd rather they put the effort into improving the products I use.
How is it get-there-itis for a pilot to have to remind air traffic control that they have not provided an update they are supposed to have provided?

Honestly I'm a little confused by some of the sentiment around this situation. Air traffic control is a service that airlines pay for, not little gods that cannot be questioned.
Usually, when I come across an article like this, I tend to glance at it and skip it, since I don't know C++. However, kudos to OpenAI; ChatCGPT shines in moments like this. The core knowledge of the article would have been bounded to C++ but, now you can just translate the article code with what you are comfortable with.

Germany scanned its national archives in with xerox stations. We will never know what numbers might have been scrambled.

So similar projects existed and were so disastrous that they were quietly buried. To this day if a document was xerox scanned before the Bugfix it might be nil and void in court.

> So we’re talking ~$18B or ~£14B annually

So you and ChatGPT think it will cost over £14B a year but the civil service team in the Department of Justice estimate it will save £4.5M by extending the digitisation to wills over 25 years old? All wills since 2021 (500,000) have been scanned and stored, because that is cheaper and less error prone than dealing with hard copies by the Probate Court - costs will be known and I'm guessing several orders of magnitude less than your estimates.

As sibling points out, it's about a specific way of optimizing an ECS style program. That's typical corporate software patent stuff - building a moat with patents that aren't inventive. It's like firing a shotgun into the solution space to create off-limits areas and impede newcomers.
Also, to get best compression you don't want to do key frames at even intervals, but rather when it pays off (ie large changes between two frames, like a scene change).
Ask HN: Which fictional characters inspire you?
I like to read or watch fiction with inspiring characters.

They are made up, but the way they solve problems provides mental models for similar, real-life situations.

Like the Power Rangers when I was a kid.

I'll give some examples:
- The Count from Gentleman in Moscow, because he's so eloquent
- Toranaga from Shogun, because of his leadership style
- James Bond in GoldenEye, because he's always calm and charming
- ...

Do any fictional characters manage to inspire you?

from the society point of view, not have a shared cultural experience is bad. I remember the time, where we used to watch the same tv shows and, get the same news, and we collectively experienced and discussed it. It is maybe one of the backbones of a society culture. Today because everyone is consuming your own media, news, you have small opportunities to shared cultural experiences, one of them being sports (Soccer World championship, for instance), or going to Kindergarten/School/Army. Work used to be a place where we could somehow have this experience, but with introduction of remote work, for those remote, it was one step away from that..

Quoted from your documentation:

> The only assumptions are that 1) a vote reflects a users intent to give a post more/less attention (see The Law of Attention) and 2) this intent is caused by underlying beliefs that we cannot observe

The assumption #1 is unlikely to hold. People are generally biased. They will not think twice when casting a vote, will act on impulse and if presented with the opportunity, cast a downvote on things they merely dislike, without having read the article they are voting on.

I doubt this will ever change.

The point is that it is something you alone want to watch, but I agree that it needs to be entertaining. I would personally want a Grok-like AI to be generating the dialog rather than ChatGPT.

You're right. I think we should instead base society on theories that pretend that humans are better to each other than we actually really are.

If it turns out that people don't behave as we had hoped, we can always say that the approach that was implemented is not the true approach.

Didn't think I would see Peachtree Corners on HN.

While Atlanta has 71 streets named "Peachtree" [1] and Peachtree City (where people drive golf carts instead of cars [2]) comes close, Peachtree Corners names everything Peachtree. Highways, bridges, businesses. Moreover, it's a planned community, and they did it intentionally.

They're likely only running a single tunnel during very early testing in order to keep costs down.

Their idea is basically a cargo-carrying, miniature version of a rubber-tyre metro:

..which is a century old concept. Thus well-understood, as evidenced by the wikipedia article listing their benefits and downsides versus rail.
With the CRT of yore, 800x600 was extremely rare: you had a bandwidth to work with, so you could balance refresh rate with resolution, and 1280x1024 or something wasn't rare at all on 15"/17" screens. Only with "HD video" and TFT screens did we end up getting stuck on 720p (or 1366x768, yikes) screens for a decade before FullHD started appearing on screens again.

Again, that's unrelated to "patch management": I am not disputing we have better experience overall today, but none of that is due to git.
No you're absolutely correct. His criticism of Freud anticipated Murray Gell-Mann, or rather his eponymous amnesia effect, by at least a generation.

It's been quite a few years so the exact phrasing escapes me now, but was something to the effect that Freud demonstrated a pattern of confidently talking well past his own level of understanding of certain topics even in the company of actual experts in the material, And thus although Lewis couldn't judge to what extent this was a factor in Freud's own claimed area of expertise, he observed that when Freud ventured to hold forth on something CS Lewis did know quite a lot about, namely, languages, he found him to be quite the amateur. Freud is somewhat obliquely caricatured thrpuhh the character of Sigismund, a personifcation of the more cargo cultish, callous and anti-humanist excesses of self-indulgent charlatanry marring the then-nascent psychotherapy movement as a whole.

I'm old, but feel the same reluctance (it slips sometimes; I am only human).

I certainly couldn't care less about theirs.
Weird focus on Diablo 2. The mode focussed on was use by hardly anyone as it looked awkward and broke certain features. Diablo 2 was also released in an era where full 3d was very standard practice (well after half life let alone quake and doom and others). The great graphical coding era of video games was at least 5 years before for me. Things like Commanche Maximum Overkill, Magic Carpet and Descent.
Yes, every Intel consumer CPU has included a hardware video block since Haswell, called Quick Sync Video.

Agree fully, vector search in embedding space is insufficient if you are working wirh a single document domain (i.e. They are all fish restaurant menu) and then the only thing that can save you is text search. Just make sure the underlying database supports synonyms lists and normalization in the languages you plan using.

About the "bad news" section.

You can do that today by just asking the llm using the ReAct pattern. Give it the database schema, a few shots prompt, and will happily decide to build query, read titles, and do more query if the titles aren't relevant enough, and fetch the content of titles that are relevant and use those to form an opinion.

This may not sem fast, but there are 7b token models that can do it today, at 150+token/second.

In the day when a lot happens online, purely sitting in front of a screen it’s possible to produce excellent and deep investigative stories. You do own open-source intelligence, you interview sources, etc., all while in front of the screen. Bellingcat does it on a regular basis, for example. You do not need to step out of your room to spot lies and discrepancies.
That is a very calming colour, I feel better already.
The UX in Matrix is really crappy. I say this as someone who has been on IRC since the late 90's. I can deal with jank. I was in the IRC wars. I've seen server splits used to take over channels by Polish IRC warriors.

Matrix is its own brand of confusing because it's trying SO hard not to be a Discord clone. If you properly want to own your Matrix channels, you need to run your own server and that's not a 3 minute thing to do.

NASCAR's not really my cup of tea, but I always thought it would be cool if there was a "Robot Wars" format show that had no (or rather, minimal) rules.

Just chuck a huge sawblade or crushing spike on a remotely controlled 4WD chassis and set it loose in the desert somewhere to fight similar vehicles. Weight classes measured in tons, not kilograms. Maybe set up some landmines as "arena hazards". No humans anywhere near the arena so you can set loose and watch utter chaos unfold.
Or we could collectively ask ourselves what we want and do that, instead of leaving the decision to the most selfish of our kind. That was never a good system to begin with.

Remove toddlers, homeless and old people that believe watching TV is a pastime for kids. How many shows today are watched by half the 18-50 population?

I reckon a thing that happens to 50% of the population is as culturally widespread as if it had happened to 100% of it. Because it means one talking to another about it means you hear about it everywhere, since a conversation requires 2 people.

Awesome. What do you think about this long standing Typescript issue? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57683303/how-can-i-see-t...

It's been my experience introducing and pushing Typescript at multiple companies that people get lost, frustrated, and then push back because they can't untangle and make sense of type hierarchies in order to satisfy the compiler...

Even I get tired of control clicking up and down hierarchies trying to build a mental model of exactly what's expected.

It's amazing to me that this issue has been ignored so long by the TypeScript team.
> Testing third-party code is often well within the purview of first-party integration testing.

Yes, integration tests do tend to cover integration with third party libraries and even entire products (such as databases). But even in integration tests, the third party code is incidental.

For instance, when created integration tests for databases, it's very common to use an embedded or in-memory DB such as SQLite or H2. You want to test integration with third-party modules when it is possible and "cheap", but the highest priorities are testing first-party module integration and having tests than can run fast without requiring a full-fledged replica of our production environment.

If I come back to the GP statement "this only works for code you control", they either meant that you can't use this this techniques unit tests of third-party code or that you can't use this technique in integration tests of third-party code. Either way, it doesn't make sense. You cannot and should not unit test code you don't own, and you're not supposed use mocks (like a mocked clock) in integration tests.
