The article is a little short on details, but it's not immediately clear to me how Apple's UX will differ. This is exactly my concern, I agree that Matrix's setup can be difficult for new users, but I'm not sure what a good UX for this even is. Apple's non-public verification method seems to be (at least at first glance) almost identical to what Matrix is doing.

If Apple rolls out a similar system and it works or they're able to identify pain points and make it easier to use, then cool. Maybe Matrix can take pointers from the UI if that's the case. But I wonder if that will be the case, or if Apple's implementation will suffer from the same UX problems that Matrix's does.
Sometimes I try to use the tap-to-pay. When I try, more often than not, I cannot get it to work, and then I use the chip anyway.

It is certainly an achetypical graph problem, shortest path, of which there are many ways to solve. Some algorithms are very highly efficient. I've tried some graph databases and was quite surprised at how hard they were to express using their query languages and how hard it was to solve them efficiently. I've had better luck with library based solutions.

To be fair, when I visited the USA, a cop threatened to fine me for jaywalking until he realised I was British. He then gave me a lift to my destination, because apparently the hood I was in was so dangerous that there was a real chance that I might end up getting shot.

Base models are just trying to autocomplete the input text. The most logical completion for an instruction is something approximately like what you asked, but base models are raw. They have not been taught to follow instructions, so they generally do a poor job. They're especially bad at knowing when to stop, and they will often generate their own questions to answer, which they will then answer, followed by more questions and more answers.

When chat models are trained, they are first pre-trained (the "PT" in "GPT"), which creates a base model, then they are "fine tuned" (RLHF, aligned, whatever you want to call it).

A base model can be fine tuned with an instruction dataset (like OpenOrca[0]) to learn how to follow instructions or how to chat. It can also be fine-tuned with a collection of any inputs and the expected outputs, and learn how to do that specific task.

OpenPipe appears to specialize in fine-tuning base models for specific applications. They wanted a better base model. If you want it instruction-tuned, I'm sure they would be happy to help with that, or you can wait for someone in the community to make one of those from their base model... but I believe the whole point of the article is that a small, specialized model can outperform a large, general model. Their goal does not seem to be to build a tiny, general, chat-tuned model that outperforms GPT-4 in everything. They want you to train the base model on a very specific task, with the expectation that it will outperform GPT-4 and be tremendously cheaper to run at the same time. Many LLM tasks are centered around summarization, extraction, or classification, which have nothing to do with chatting.

I wonder if there is a genotype between IQ and obesity. It seems like smarter people are less likely to be obese , and this cannot be explained only by lifestyle choices or incomes. Maybe somethign to do with higher IQs meaning higher metabolism. A higher IQ could mean more calories burned by brain.
yes, it's a pwa so offline first. it uses yjs with webrtc for p2p generically and the "last mile" will be a "light" electron app that you can use via webrtc to store files .

> So if someone criticizes a portion of your statement which is already countered by your original full statement, you're not allowed to remind your full statement. What kind of logic is that?

The other stuff in your comment did not "counter" what they said. You made statements about cross-vendor and cross-platform. They chose to only respond to one of those statements. That's not incorrect.

> This "correction" is incorrect because I already said on Linux

The first part of your comment specifically said "not "various OS' native APIs"". That goes beyond Linux. The later part of your comment was about Linux in particular, but your introduction was an overall statement that wasn't true.

> When you fragment a statement in a way that changes its meaning

They didn't. You misspoke and they didn't know what you actually meant.

And from your other post: > Obviously, I meant to say statement, not sentence, but I can't edit it anymore.

That was not obvious. They quoted an entire paragraph, and the subsequent paragraph does not change its meaning the way you're claiming it does.
Tesla only defines the plug (the interface). Different companies can still manufacture their own plugs and other equipment. Focusing on frictionless payment seems like a good business idea.
I found it pretty reasonable. I've implemented both physical modeling and more traditional subtractive synthesis algorithms, and I fully agree with the author that physical modeling takes "more engineering tenacity" to implement correctly. Mastering simpler techniques before diving into physical modeling is something I would highly recommend, and that's exactly what the author is doing. Giving some degree of realism to subtractive synthesis is fun and can give great results too.

Hard disagree with #18. If you don't pull your bass register into mono (or really close to it) it's going to sound like ass in small spaces, like a car, or big spaces, like a club or big stage.

I struggled for quite a while with getting bass to sound right on different systems and pushing the bass into mono helped a ton.

Also consider the length of the waves. If you're playing on a system in a club that has the subs 50 feet apart, you're going to get weird nodes from comb filtering and the bass will just disappear in certain places in the room.

I'm not aware of stereo bass having anything to do with vinyl, the issue is overall bass volume.

Most of the other ideas are pretty good and can be summed up as follows:

Humanize/randomize pitch, velocity, and rhythm

Use distortion to add extra harmonics

Don't use a flute patch 2 octaves below C or a contrabass patch 4 octaves above C, respect the "true" frequency range of the patch

Use appropriate panning

Use reverb

(Actually I disagree with the idea of using many different reverbs. Your ears will pick up on it and it will sound unnatural. IF you do this, turn up the reverb until you can hear it, and then dial it all the way back until it seems to disappear.)
With EVs I have the opposite habit, I try to recharge at 5-10% on road trips because it recharges faster. (At least with Teslas, I would not want to do a road trip with anything else.)

It trained the model with a lot of data to write code instead (probably sandwiched between some special tokens like [run-python]. The LLM runner then takes the code, runs it in a sandbox, and feeds the output back into the prompt and lets GPT continue inferencing. But TL;DR: it trained the model to write code for math problems instead of trying to solve them itself.

I haven't used the llama2 models much in quite awhile, because they just aren't very good compared to other options that exist at this point. The instruction-tuned variants of Mistral and Mixtral seem to have very little trouble responding in JSON when I ask for it. However, with LLMs that you run yourself, you can also enforce a grammar for the response if you want to, guaranteeing that it will respond with valid JSON (that matches your schema!) and no extraneous text.

Something potentially helpful here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/2494

If you fine-tuned a base model (like the one in the article) on various inputs and the expected JSON output for each input, it would probably do even better.

Thoughts on distinguishing similar-looking things:

* take multiple pictures from slightly different angles

* take pictures using sensors for different frequencies (can be done with a colored transparent sheet, though simply using different cameras will have some effect)

* shine light from different angles

"Work from office" is just "work". That's the default; you go somewhere, provide value in exchange for money, and go home. There was no "shifting" unless you mean pre-capitalistic agrarian societies where "work" meant doing literally everything yourself.
Sadly, hard disagree. I programmed Clojure professionally for ~2 years, and its REPL is significantly better than Python's. Despite that, nothing compares to "dot" autocomplete and being certain that a method can take a certain object type. Like, I could type dir/help and then the token in question then parse the output with my eyes, remove the help/dir and type in what I wanted... or I can hit dot and scroll the available methods/properties. It's not even close.

What you're describing is the behavior you get from any base model that has not been instruction-tuned. The article is clear that this model is not for "direct use". It needs tuning for a specific application.
High end realistic patches allow you to move mics around the virtual space, change mics, move musicians, control airflow, bowing speed and pressure etc. They sound REALLY good these days, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

I think this article is more geared towards pure synthesis when you are using very few primary harmonics. Like stacked sine waves or something. They are impossible to eq because the frequencies are too pure and unnatural so you have to dirty them up.

As someone who has used 3D CAD professionally for decades, I must confess I had low expectations for this tool. My expectations have been greatly exceeded, and there is real value in something like this.

The value is not in creating models of new/custom parts, but in quickly generating models of standard parts such as pipe fittings, bolts, connectors, and stuff you could buy from a catalog. Prompts like "m4 cap screw which is 50 mm long" or "2 inch ASME B16.5 pipe flange" seem to reliably generate adequate results. Design of large assemblies often requires locating or drawing dozens (or hundreds) of such models (though there are sometimes libraries available). It's almost like the model was trained on the entire McMaster-Carr catalog! (maybe they scraped it?) The models will still need to be checked to ensure quality, but this is true regardless of whether a human or AI creates them.

Modeling even simple fixtures and brackets with a system like this is cumbersome: I tried, but requires paragraphs of metes-and-bounds language. Nevertheless I got the parts I wanted. Much of engineering happens at the interfaces, so accurately describing things like hole patterns and mating surfaces is critical. This can certainly be done in text, just not time-efficiently.

Additionally, the output (STEP files, etc) are what we call in the business "dumb solids." They don't include any parametric logic, and the sorts of edits which can be made to them are limited and often require serious creativity.

Another drawback: this thing is slow! A good CAD user could draw a lot of these parts in less wall-clock time. I assume this can be overcome by throwing more iron at the problem.

The UI/UX is has a ton of rough edges (and I'm still not sure if I made an account or not) but is totally fine for a proof-of-concept.

I went into this with incredibly low hopes: I've heard many promises of software which promises to make CAD faster and easier and accessible to non-experts. These look great in sales pitches, but the engineers and designers in the audience invariably wince (or worse). This is something that I could actually use and would make my life easier.
