Is there a big difference in the result from fine tuning a model compared to using a LoRA? I thought the idea with LoRAs was that updating all model weights are unnecessary?

Turboprops are more fuel efficient than jet engines with the trade off of slower cruising speed. On short distances this isn't a problem as less time to hit max speed when you take into account climbing and descending for landing.

ATR now owned by Airbus makes turboprop airplanes for regional airlines. They seem to be working on a hybrid electric model which should incorporate some electric motor features
https://www.atr-aircraft.com/presspost/atr-paves-way-for-nex...
I’m not convinced that turnaround time is as big of an issue as it’s made out to be.

The point of low turnaround time is to lower cost. But EV airplanes are likely to be much cheaper to operate, so they don’t need low turnaround time to be economically competitive.

If they take an hour to charge they could be moved to a separate area where they don’t incur high fees from the airport for taking up valuable space at the gate.

And the primary market for these planes is going to be small local airports, that don’t have gate fees as a factor at all. The main problem for those airports is they don’t get utilised enough because planes are too expensive to operate and too loud to have frequent take-offs/landing close to town anyway.

I’m also guessing that these planes will be able to charge fast enough to get to 20min turnaround time for many routes. They won’t be discharged to less than 20% when landing, and many routes can probably be handled with 80% charge. 20-80% charge in 20min is absolutely feasible.

Recently I bought a paper notebook and pens to make companion to my ipad+pencil+OneNote combo, for my Rust programming studies and anotations.

Before buying the notebook I researched what kind of notebook Einstein used to work on. Spyral x brochure, kind of paper and size were considered.

Something was off with the digital solution. I can't ellaborate exactly what was/is the problem, but I'm not abandning it. I use it when it feels more up to the task (ex:storing images and coying a big text from the internet).

It will still be inferior to what Big Money will be able to serve, in a field where each marginal gain makes a massive qualitative difference.

AI is a buzzword for "tons of clever statistical software running hot to mimic (the output of) our complex brain processes". Big Money will always do that sort of thing better than the Taiwanese, and there is absolutely no incentive to turn a rent-extracting networked service into a widget-selling proposition, even once the field stops progressing at the current pace. Everything is now networked, so everything can access what will always essentially be "Brain as a Service" (BaaS, surely someone coined this already...).

Will we see specialized-hardware AI tuned for this or that task? Probably. Will we have portable configurable AIs? Possibly. Will either of them be as good as Big Money models, which can continuously feed on subscriptions and web-scraping at massive scale? Very, very unlikely imho.
20 years ago in São Paulo I was spending 1/3 of my salary in rent to share a flat with a friend in a quite nice neighbourhood, the same place now would cost 2x my salary of the time adjusted for inflation.

10 years ago in Stockholm I was renting a small flat 3 stations away from central station for about 9-10k SEK, the same flat nowadays is almost 2x that rent.

It's insane and happening in every major city it seems...

Not that it’s relevant in this case, because there aren’t any UCITS/NURS BTC ETFs yet, but in the UK one can only pay into a single S&S ISA (a tax-wrapper, the US equivalent of which I think would be a Roth IRA) in any given tax year, so it’s not always as simple as having multiple accounts.

Paying into a second account would require it to be outside the ISA scheme making the investments subject to CGT, etc.
At this level it’s probably closer to 1.5x.

People do not understand the meaning of "Marketing". People believe it is selling what you have(Sales and Advertisement) while it really means understanding Markets: The needs of the people.

If you have good intuition on what the needs of the people are, even on things that do not exist yet, you can design your product or service accordly. You could also choose the right people for the job.

People like Steve Jobs or Elon are great at understanding markets. i.e Steve knew that people would be using their smartphones on they pockets and that having scratch resistant screens was essential while the rest didn't care. I had a PocketPC and TabletPC and Microsoft cared so much and invested billions in things that few people care while being against most user real needs.

They are visionaries that have to imagine a future that does not exist yet. The kind of people that can do that, like Elon or Sam usually can see the future as real as it already exist and can be overoptimistic as for them it is obvious that something is going to happen as for them the future is as real as the present.

Elon saved Tesla from bankruptcy choosing a pathway to mass fabrication of EVs. The original Tesla vision was exclusivity and using Lotus car frames.

What separates Elon for everybody else is that he risks his own money on what he believes in, not someone else's like Sam. He is a risk taker like nobody. This is what I hear from people that know him personally.

Another man releases a floating dog which explodes in mid-air causing everyone to get small and lost in the fibers of the beautiful carpet."

Cool projects, but let me make two observations:

1. Writing a binary analysis tool is an enormous task. Before getting to the useful and new part, you need a lot of infrastructure (e.g., a scalable intermediate representation). Rolling your own infrastructure is not a great idea IMO, there are great compiler frameworks (LLVM, but GCC would work too) that provide you with a lot of tools to start with.
We can literally run the LLVM -O2 optimization pipeline on our IR.

2. In binary analysis there's a trend to use SMT solvers. We absolutely do not, by design. They simply do not scale.
Binary analysis theory is really just compiler theory. Have you ever seen a mainstream compiler use SMT solvers for the standard compilation pipeline? No, it does not scale.
Depending on what you need to do, you go the old fashioned way and write a data-flow analysis that does what you need, instead of using an SMT solver that can solve much more complex problems but does not scale.
At rev.ng, we're in love with Monotone Frameworks. If your analysis fits in the framework, it will run in linear time. It's more difficult than going "Z3 solve it for me", but it scales great.
Suggested reading: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-03811-6

Don't get me wrong, there are use cases where using an SMT solver makes sense, for instance looking for bugs, but SMT solvers should be a last resource measure for tasks where you're OK with saying "OK, I didn't find anything in 10 minutes, let's bail out". But that's not the case for simply lifting and even decompiling a binary.

This said, I haven't been following closely the developments of rizin, but my comments are more on the general trend in binary analysis that I see.
Well this is a very extensive finetuning, LoRA are usually convenient if you just want to add a character, a style or a concept to the model.
Can I provide an alternative interpretation? I don’t think caring about fast fast fast performance, or legacy codebases, is really in Apple’s DNA

I think Apple’s always cared about ease of development over the possibility of bare metal optimization - after all, Objective-C was built on dynamic dispatch, and libraries as important Cocoa/AppKit and Apple’s compositors aren’t going to ditch that soon.

And, because of C++’s scars and warts, I don’t see Apple ever valuing stable codebases over Apple’s ruthless deprecation habits when it comes to change and development.

Instead, I’m convinced it’s really to help people trying to port games to macOS; it’s unusual for Apple to ever invest in an ecosystem of porting from different platforms, but here we are.
Humans shouldn’t be in control of technologies that can wipe out entire nations.

Cheap AI drones that kill with precision by the millions are the ultimate weapon.

More powerful than Nuclear. Nuclear is a very big but blunt instrument of war. Drones are small and sharp instruments.

You can command it to kill every human in a geographic region without any other structural damage. It would happily obey that instruction.
I don't buy this argument. Specifically, Modalities. The claim is that "[b]y using modality-specific tokenizers or processing raw data streams, frontier models can, in principle, handle any known sensory or motor modality". Sure, you may get some sort of output but I'm quite confident you won't get anything useful without training the model on that kind of input. We barely started sticking narrow AI together. E.g. ChatGPT (LLM) can invoke Dall-e (text to image). Maybe AGI will turn out to be a bunch of narrow AIs in a trench coat. So far I haven't seen such a system.

Tasks claim is a little stretched, too. For example, simple arithmetic. Does model actually do arithmetic or does it do text generation and the right answer just happens to be the most likely next token? Can we reliably tell one from the other to claim that model actually perform tasks other than just text generation?

> Nowadays technical problems are often solved by writing code, which is almost never done on a chalk board outside of job interviews.

Nope. They are solved by either formulating a solution in maths or drawings or verbally, then it’s transformed to code step by step. Code is just your intention or solution distilled for a much more constrained machine, and is the very last step.

Perhaps synthetic generation could help?

Let's see what happens in the ICJ which works in the real ruling.
Very interesting!

Some random thoughts:

- instead of having the system run into an “underrun”, perhaps it could use a fallback rule to just loop over the previously known buffer? That would be the equivalent of the last frame being displayed until a new one arrives.

- on old consoles, sound used to be _generated_ on the fly, usually in lockstep/in sync with the game thread. I think this used to work well because then the game would be the only thing running on the system. Not sure how this worked when consoles got dedicated sound cards later to offload sound processing.

- I guess one could load all of the game’s sound at startup, and let the audio thread just switch what to play when, with a default rule of what to play if no command is received. Not great memory-wise, though.
I made a one time contribution. I hope there are other folks who benefit from such self hosted software that will give him a financial hand.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was for other drivers, actually, especially since Apple’s really pushing cross-OS user space drivers, and why not use the opportunity to do 2 tech refreshes? If Apple’s trying to push iPadOS drivers to make the iPad a “real computer”, why not lower the barrier to entry?

As others mentioned, nowadays const generics replace this technique for most problems. This technique however is still useful if you need something like `[T; A+B]` (an array whose length is the sum of two generic constants), which is not yet possible with const generics.

This will sound like a stupid question, but is there a downloadable list of all the art styles understood by these models as an offline PDF?

If there isn't, I'm very, very tempted to make one myself. Each style entry consists of a description and a list of models that understand it and any special tags or keywords the model needs to generate output with that style.

I know we have a lot of websites dedicated to this, but this information is more suited for a wiki
> The only way to avoid this is for the AI to be opinionated, which would obviously be very problematic in itself.

An AI should be opinionated, at least towards the core values expressed in Western constitutions, because we all (or our ancestors) democratically decided upon them: the equality of all humans, equality before the law, the rule of law before violence, the need to learn as a species from at least the largest horrors of the past (WW1/2, the Nazi and Soviet dictatorships, other genocides, the Cold War) and why institutions like the UN and EU were created (to prevent said horrors from repeating), and the core international treaties (Declaration of Human Rights, Geneva Conventions (medical, refugees), Hague Declarations (land war rules)), freedom of the press, freedom of religion.

Additionally, an AI should be opinionated to other, more traditional sets of values: the Hippocratic Oath (aka, the oath of medical professionals to aid everyone in need), the obligations of sea and air travel to aid in SAR, and parts of common religious texts.

In the end, an AI that develops an actual understanding of these values should show appropriate responses to everyone asking it a question - and those who get angry by an AI refusing to express a certain opinion should ask themselves if they are still part of the basic foundations of a democratic society. And, an AI should be able to apply these values to any material it ingests and heavily downrank what goes against these values to protect itself from experiencing what Tay did (the MS chatbot from a few years ago that got turned full-on Nazi after a day or so of 4chan flooding it with the absolute worst content).
