I don't have anything against all these "default configurations" for vim (even though I'm struggling to imagine, why the kind of person who doesn't want to configure vim himself would choose vim in the first place), but this line just made me chuckle.
As my use case for RSS is "seeing a blurb for the 99% of things I don't wish to read, once and only once", instead of a "partial/truncated RSS feed" that only contains headlines/partial text I'd call that an "unbloated feed".
Gp is making no such assumption of motives. Lots of people actively peddle scams while believing in the product. For a less controversial example, MLMs.
I wonder about that too. With the small precision, parameter updates might be too small to have an effect (is it possible to use some sort of probabilistic update in that case?) Unfortunately, I haven’t found any resources describing the feasibility of full fp16 or bf16 training.
Indeed. And if a company wants to deal with US consumers, they need to comply with US law. That’s reasonable. And if/when some companies get referential treatment, you get (justified) uproar.
> For those unfamiliar with the terminology this is just confusing, and for those that are familiar this discussion is all fundamental and well known anyway.

Eh, agree to disagree.

> Unfortunately for COW filesystems including zfs and btrfs fallocate doesn’t do anything useful for preallocation.

Both ZFS and BtrFS have "nocow" modes that are probably more suitable to this type of use case. And other filesystems are widely used.
When you read a free book at the public library instead of paying the publisher for it, are you stealing?
I love the "hello world" aspect of this. It allows you to focus on getting the tools up and running without having to think about the actual patch you're trying to make.

On the other hand, I dislike the forces that incentivize developers to become shallow contributors to a lot of projects instead of deep contributors to one or a few projects. It feels toxic, just like the drive to get published paper counts up in academia without evaluating the quality of the publications or the contributions of the author.

That's not the fault of the people who make this tool at all.
I was wondering if there was going to be this huge influx of demand, like beanie babies or NFTs.
> there are some car owners who do care about these things, but the vast majority of drivers would likely be hard-pressed to know what type of engine their car has, or what the differences between rear and front drive are

I'm very surprised by this answer.

May I ask: Where do you live? What are your degrees in?

I live in Texas, and my degrees are in STEM fields like Computers and Engineering.
That doesn't follow, online copyright infringement didn't require anyone to write the DMCA in its current form.
It's incredible that kramnik managed to somehow escalate this into a whole article in the nyt. The publication has really gone downhill I guess.
Historically and today, a sought-after job for a young woman out of college who has majored in, say, English with wealthy parents is in publishing/media in NYC, with the parents paying the bills (publishing doesn't pay very much at the entry level). It's a genteel job that the parents can tell their friends about, and the daughter can meet suitable men; the classic marriage among these types has the husband working in finance and the wife in media.
Recap 2023 – The year of hard work and new beginnings
The US election dominating the news cycle in the country with little to no attention to events in the rest of the world.
I wonder how hard Apple is going to fight this. When laws start rolling out and iOS supports 3rd party stores and sideloading, will they region-lock it to just phones purchased in the EU and Japan? Will they tie it to Apple accounts somehow? I guess what I'm really wondering is what hoops I'll have to jump through as a US-located user to be able to sideload on my phone next year.
The trick was to use railway and no roads!
For a moment I thought you meant hardcover copy and was wondering where you found one! It's a paperback, but an important enough book I'd love to have a hardcover version if one were available. Can't agree more!
The union resistance will kill the best chance US had to re-shore manufacturing of the critical electronics in virtually every product. This one short-sighted pissing match will do more damage to the us over the next decade than the perpetrators could ever imagine.

For a while, some PSUs were dividing their single 12V rail into separate outputs with individual current limits, to more closely adhere to older ATX standards. Consumers were not interested in managing the complexity of balancing power between virtual rails while CPU and GPU power were skyrocketing.

We have put some AI/ML servers in a 100% solar-powered Colocation facility. We are now offering these machines for rent by researchers who are priced out of the market.

The site design is basic but we hope to add more functions as we get going. And because we are all about self-hosting, our site is self-hosted. Not $0.01 goes to AWS, GCP or MSFT when you use our servers.
Right now batteries are 10% on CAISO and natural gas is 42%. That's closer than I thought it would be, but it's just after sundown. Later tonight it will drop down to 0%. This suggests it need 5x the power capacity and significantly more than 5x of the energy capacity it has today.
it depends on your character.

i have been travelling the world by myself and met people along the way that i went hiking with, and i found it a great way to make new friends.

if the group is self selected from a community that you are generally familiar with (even if you don't know the people participating themselves) then this should work just fine with strangers, just like you meed these strangers at conferences and meetups.
> It completely ignores that Apple had dozens of meetings with Masimo, feigning interest in a partnership or agreement, getting into the weeds of the technology, and as soon as it had learned enough, it bailed out of that agreement, hired the people involved and started making things.

If this happened as you described then Masimo’s leadership would be at fault for not adequately protecting its IP until a deal was on the table.
What is interesting to me is that it was easier to sling 20kA round the chip than to make a higher voltage power distribution bus and step down nearer the cores.

I guess this is a process limitation? i.e, the stuff you would need to make an appropriate step down isn't compatible with the other stuff they need?
This is generally great, but creme-de-la-creme of domains for SEO and other purposes is still a .com
This is not well-known but the vast majority of hospital visits are non-emergency.

People used to have choice but now due to 1950s tax code, your employer chooses a health conglomerate which chooses an insurance company which influences the billing allowances which influences the hospital profitability which is now so complicated that often only PE firms are willing to take the investment risk.

The incentives and market feedback is now so distorted that there is little to no signal. Healthcare in the US is often used as an example of failed free markets, but it is very far from a free market.
Surprised? I'm not. Given the history of cable, this was an inevitable outcome. Prime Video also looks very much like plain on cable nowadays, with a subacription only entitling one to basic channels. The rest all cost extra.
You can decide to store whatever you like in the vector database.

For example you can have a table of "knowledge" as I described earlier, but you can just add easily have a table of the conversation history, or have both.

In fact it's quite popular afaik to store the conversation this way because then if you query on a topic you've queried before, even if the conversation history has gone behind the size of the context, it can still retrieve that history. So yes, what you describe is a good idea/would work/is being done.

It really all comes down to the non model logic/regular programming of how your vector db is queried and how you mix those query results in with the user's query to the LLM.

For example you could embed their query as I described, then search the conversation history + general information storage in the vector db and mix the results. You can even feed it back into itself in a multi step process a la "agents" where your "thought process" takes the user query and breaks it down further by querying the LLM with a different prompt; instead of "you are a helpful assistant" it can be "you have x categories of information in the database, given query {query} specify what data to be extracted for further processing" obv that's a fake general idea prompt but I hope you understand.

Well there's technically no model training involved here but I guess you consider the corpus of conversation data a kind of training, and yeah that would be RLHF based which LLMs learn pretty heavily on afaik (I've not fine tuned my own yet).

You can fine tune models to be better at certain things or respond in certain ways, this is usually done via a kind of reinforcement learning (with human feedback...idk why it's called this, any human feedback is surely just supervised learning right?) this is useful for example, to take a model trained on all kinds of text from everywhere, then fine tune it on text from scifi novels, to make it particularly good at writing scifi fiction.

A fine tune I would say is more the "personality" of the underlying LLM. Saying this, you can ask an LLM to play a character, but the underlying "personality" of the LLM is still manufacturing said character.

Vector databases are more for knowledge store, as if your LLM personality had a table full off open books in front of them; world atlases, a notebook of the conversation you've been having, etc.

Eg, personality: LLM fine tune on all David Attenborough narration = personality like a biologist/natural historian

Knowledge base = chunks of text from scientific papers on chemistry + chunks of the current conversation

Which with some clever vector db queries/feeding back into model = bot that talks like Attenboroughish but knows about chemistry.

Tbf the feedback model it's better to use something strict, ie instruct based model, bc your internal thought steps are heavily goal orientated, all of the personality can be added with the final step using your fine tune.
Yeah, that's probably a more actionable recommendation. :)
it will move the real estate and tax incentives needle.
Many OSS projects have a dedicated Discord server these days. I've had some success getting help in those vs asking the same think of StackOverflow or on Github.
Jokes on us, the mayor set all of the budgets to 50% and the transportation manager was right: we regret it.
I predict Google will flounder on multiple fronts. They’ll either continue empty promises of a ChatGPT killer or release one that will be 2nd rate. Meanwhile more adoption of ChatGPT and the like will mean less search and less ad revenue. Azure and AWS will take more market share from GDP. They’ll release ad-blocker unfriendly chrome and users will switch to Firefox. YouTube will expand its trial of not operating with ad-blockers and a serious alternative will emerge, maybe Vimeo or maybe a newcomer. They’re the most user-hostile of the big tech companies and I want them to lose.
Your taxes fund the library and the expenses necessary to loan you the book. You need a library card before they'll loan you the book which is given out only to people who pay taxes in that district. The card is your authorization just like a license for software or other copyrighted works.

If I, a stranger, took your car out of your driveway without permission, is it stealing if I promised to return it?
Then you gotta explain places like Sweden and Germany, or why the richest, most productive US states are the ones with the strictest workers rights.

Never fails. They just can't resist, can they?

Never listen to anyone who tells you some service will never have ads just because you pay for it.
Fantastic. I can't wait to have advertisements for cheap knockoffs on my Amazon Primes shows and my Alexa devices./s
We should make the same thread, but "wrong answers only". I would have a lot to contribute haha
Article footnote b. states:

"b. Parts of Kahneman's book were undermined by psychology's "replication crisis," which affected some of its findings, but not the idea of system 1 and 2."

Would have been a better footnote if additional references were provided for the latest in that area of discourse.
I had been on the fence about renewing my decade+ long Prime membership in a couple weeks. The only thing that was seriously tempting me to keep it was Prime Video.

I have mixed feelings already about Prime Video, as a watching experience I find it quite annoying because I'll find a movie I'd like to watch only to find I have to pay another $5 to watch it. With the other services, I know if a movie comes up on the display, I can watch it without further cost.

I'm fairly sensitive to adverts, I really don't like seeing them, largely because I've isolated myself from them. The fewer you see, the more unsettling they are, the blatant attractive factor of them, do.not.want. And anther $40/yr is too much.

Apparently, dropping Prime with the shopping really does not impact the speed of delivery or cost. I'm already often selecting delayed delivery. With the increased prices, it's hard to justify the $140/yr.
To do the comparison, it should be compared roughly with the cost of building (batteries + traditional solar). I say "roughly" because batteries can do more than levelize solar, they can levelize other intermittent sources as well, and can provide power on foggy mornings and/or evenings, while vertical solar cannot.
I did not realize that. Thank you.

in recent months i have been participating in a business walk and talk meetup.

like any other meetup, except instead of being in a restaurant we met in a park somewhere and walked around for one or two hours, while having conversations.

the nice thing is that it makes switching conversation partners easier, as you are not stuck on your seat at the table, and breaks in the conversation with a few minutes of silence are less awkward.
Not surprised at all, maybe mildly disappointed.
Funnily enough, my post-COVID managers are all for remote work. They like it for all the same reasons ICs do.
Currently those commercials are restricted to Amazon original productions. First they'll expand those to other content providers, following that will be major brands (Nike, Coke), and finally we'll have Shamwow and other Ronco products advertised on niche content.
As another commenter has already suggested, ReasonML has a lot of what you described here.

I mean there are 4 people on the ballot for POTUS, or you can request a write-in ballot. If you vote for anyone outside the D/R establishment, they reject your ballot.
Effort and risk could be considered two different variables. Ranches represent easy to find and catch prey but the risk of humans with guns and big dogs. Other wildlife might require more tracking and chasing but the animal itself is the only risk.

> No I don’t have that choice; I have to play fiat wealth accumulation to buy land.

Why can you not barter within the community for the land you need?

If you’d talked about needing to break out of the barter economy to trade for fiat to pay government taxes on income or land, I’d agree that you can’t have a fully closed barter economy, but for the acquisition of land itself, you can barter.
Why wouldn't you just buy a used kindle touch? Once rooted, it runs python3, curl, and imagemagick, I use it to query the Canadian weather API and display the forecast. No proxies needed! Plus it only costs $40 used... Essentially a local-device version of my earlier attempt at an e-paper weather display: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oel08SDFyIY

If there's enough interest I can release a new video.
You have to pass the context between GPUs for large models that don't fit in VRAM. Often ends up slower. Also, tooling around AMD GPUs is still poor in comparison.
We do. This announcement can also be seen as: Amazon Prime price increase of $40/year, with a discounted option that includes advertisements and is $40/year less.
In Europe the subsidies for nuclear is marginal and significant less per watt produced than wind, solar and gas.

Talking about insurance in isolation is practically meaningless. Hydropower do not cover risk insurance of flooding, nor does fossil fuel pay insurance against pollution and global warming. The government or private citizens takes that risk, covering 100% of the costs. Wind and solar do not cover risk of forest fires or damages to endangered species. Wind farms on the ocean do not cover risks to changes in currents, and only need to cover a limited survey in term assessing risk to the environment.

In a perfect world all energy production would cover all social and environmental risks of their commercial operation. Intermittent energy sources would then have to pay insurance on the cost of blackouts, as well as the full bill of the reserve energy plan that the government currently pays for. Paying all those through taxes only hide the true cost of energy production away from the consumer.

The article is about setting up all the core infrastructure to start bringing content into the engine, validated by the triangle.

Even tho the Vulkan tutorial might seem like work, it’s not actually preparing you to build anything significant on top of it. This just an overview of the API, not much of a building block.
FWIW, there are multiple wolf packs in Glacier National Park. There is mandatory grizzly safety education and you are required to carry bear spray when venturing into the backcountry. Nobody ever said a word about wolves.
TorrentFreak is not a disinterested journalism site. Their sponsor ads are clearly targeted at pirates.
In Germany too. CCC has always been on the very cautious side of that debate.
I'm not really sure where you're going with the "is it stealing if I take your car without permission" line, I don't think it really works here (or maybe I'm missing what you're meaning here).

A good example of where the lines of "stealing" are blurry could be this: A friend of yours has a login to Amazon Prime, and gives you the login credentials, which let you watch a show you would have otherwise had to pay for or somehow acquire. Is this stealing? Similarly, if you go to a public library in a city you don't live in, with a card of a friend's, and check out a book, is it stealing?
> If Cadillac Fleetwoods had the same net $$$ per unit as Escalades, GM would be building them today.

I disagree. The Management Class at GM killed off the last great American-made, V8-powered, rear-wheel drive cars to appease journalists and environmentalists.

After that happened, I hated environmentalists for several decades. I still despise The Management Class.
Depends where you live - I'm in London, and probably 1/10th of my friends have a car, at most.
What helped you come to that realization? The post is actually not about motivation at all. Would like to know what you think about the method described in the post.
Somehow they wrote this whole article without once mentioning Jurassic Park.

When this subject first came up (that I am aware of anyway), it was more about how the world isn't ready for the pathogens that will be unleashed. So it's apropos that there are scientists who are also looking for the positive spin on all this melting ice and impermafrost.
Law enforcement and many other parts of the government loved their large, American-made, rear-wheel drive, V8-powered cars.
Most cities in the UK, prime is next day before 1pm if ordered before midnight.
I would drop the SELECT as proposed, in favour of extended WITH.

A potentially useful SELECT function (if runtime-variable communication graphs are of interest, which they may not be?) would be one which took an array of channels and directions (à la poll), or similar data structure, as a parameter.

Edit: I also suspect that the semantics of channel closure are unlikely to be as simple as you are hoping. (but maybe do something like tcp sockets, and force a consumer to drain the channel before orderly closure?)

(between array riders and lack of display access to variables in enclosing scopes, OBERON SA seems to have evolved in a direction converging upon C?)
Which just proves my point. The barrier to entry doesn't have to be monetary, a competent human being individually checking each application works just as well.

There's also the point about scale, if your network is small and you trust your users, which was the case on the old internet, you can get away with a system that assumes no speculators.
Only if you’re a stickler. It does assume an opponent and has a negative connotation
I don't know about that, I take trains in the UK a lot, and the _vast_ majority arrive exactly when expected.
You don't need a software-free car (with all the complicated mechanical contraptions this then requires, like carburetors) to have a basic car that doesn't need updates. You just have to write software properly. This has already been done! Cars in the 1980s and 1990s all had ECUs running software, and they never needed updates just to keep the engine running. Later (late 80s and through the 90s) they added ABS brake controllers and SRS airbag controllers, all running software. They didn't need updates either.

The idea that computers need software updates is just insane, and clearly fallacious. Cars worked fine without regular software updates for decades.
I'm paying for YouTube Premium and I fully expect them to do the same thing once they've squeezed the lemon dry and need to find more money in this perverse game of rentier capitalism.
