The problem is that our society has no other viable widespread mechanism to support the many millions of people who do intellectual work, and lots of intellectual work is really important for our society-- far more important than would make sense to relegate to hobbyists and volunteers. And this is coming from someone who's contributed well over 10k coding hours to FOSS software.
A 6.7B model that's as good as GPT-4 is mostly due to overfitting in such a way that favors certain benchmarks.
Using Kroger as an example is interesting because, there is, in fact, a currently ongoing review of M&A activity in the grocery store business to prevent situations that harm customers.

It's been dead a while because of big tech. YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter - they have no way of effectively managing IP and so you basically see people's stolen content and they monetise it, so <shrug>

TBF Napster and torrents are another and earlier angle.

Purely IMO, big tech normalised the taking of other people's content, and it's getting to the point where content creators (as in, ones that are capable of producing unique content, not wealthy YouTubers per se) have simply had enough. The idea of authorities and primary sources is rapidly diminished with the hodge podge we have to navigate through in information discovery.
Can you run any DB on R2?
Yeah, unfortunately, the main background is running webgpu so edge/chrome/opera desktop are the only browsers that can see it.

I don't think "smalltalk was taught 50 years ago" is a good argument. When I was a kid we used MSX machines with no storage.. your program would be just gone at the end of the lesson (or if you messed your POKE's). If you wanted to save, you copied code to your notebook. Were we able to get things done as middle-school students? Yes. Would I recommend this environment to anyone else today? No.

And yes, I get this, if you have on-call expert for student classes (preferably principal architect of the system), then you can use Smalltalk. But I've never seen "on-call experts" at any time during the university... the closest thing is sometimes there are TAs during labs, but those TAs are just slightly older students.

What would that girl do if Daniel were not around? Would she have to reset the environment and lose all of her work?

(For comparison, later on we got PCs with MS-DOS. I've crashed those machines so many times with all sorts of crazy or stupid code.. and I never needed anyone's assistance to recover - hit RESET, wait for machine to reboot, reopen your files..)
The impedance feels unnecessary.

I want my data checked into git, and directly accessible. I don't feel like custom schemas and database drivers, as a user, do anything but make the operational loop painful.

I can quickly use any mdast library/toolkits and some terrible shell scripts to make anything possible in moments.

Photomaker: A character consistent photo generation tool and repo by Tencent
Following the popularity of avatar creators of 2023, Tencent has just released a repository of photo generation tools that claims to preserve the identity of input users.

This method uses SDXL and is supposed to be more consistent than previous known methods according to the paper.
i really doubt it was an elaborate plan. more, people were annoyed by apple's monopoly, engineered a solution, and apple proceeded to shoot themself in the foot by trying to hold on to the said monopoly. beeper mini is probably leaning into provoking apple after witnessing the reaction, which makes sense. it gives them press.
we'll see how this plays out. i know the justice department is building a case, and they're probably salivating at this evidence, but the 2024 election could result in less antitrust friendly actors working against the case. possibly. i need to research the justice department more.
You can group these kinds of "errors of personality" to help understand why they might or might not bug you.

First: actor intentionally disrespected someone. Speaking in a movie theater, especially after being shushed. Using the letter "u" to mean "you" in formal business communication.

Second: actor unintentionally disrespected someone. Clipping your fingernails in class. Badly misspelling someone's name in a critical business communication.

Third: actor unintentionally makes an inconsequential error. Native English speakers misusing "it's" or "your" and their respective homophones, or missing antecedents ("As an expert, it's important to do X and Y" rather than "As an expert, I think it's important to do X and Y").

Fourth: actor intentionally makes an inconsequential error. Wearing obviously mismatched socks. Consistently writing in all lowercase.

The key, for me, is evaluating intent and impact. Group #1 is asshole: they mean to hurt or annoy. Group #2 is incompetent: they make mistakes that matter. Group #3 is hapless: they make mistakes that don't matter. Group #4 is quirky or aloof: they're not hurting anyone, and they're OK if people draw negative inferences about them, so hey, it's a free country.

You might reach different conclusions about the groups, or subdivide the groups further.

(Anticipating critiques of my examples: yes, I really do think that misspelling the English pronoun "you" is disrespectful. Misspell your own name if you want to move from Group #1 to Group #4, but please don't misspell the word that you're using to represent me. And clipping your nails in class is such over-the-top behavior that I believe it's more about upbringing than intentional disrespect.)

> Maybe it's one of those things that is easy to explain but hard to understand if you don't have experiential context.

Maybe use the word "Ikigai"?

It seems to carries the concept very well across cultures. It's doing what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai

A friend told me a life without Ikigai is a life spent waiting for death.

It's an extreme position, because it can just be more opportunities for change/growth/discovery (as someone else posted, why tie in identity?).

Also many people seem to lack Ikigai but still be happy.

Yet the concept resonated with me.

> It can be a way to live life, not an alternative to it

You seem to have explored what life is without Ikigai. Could you share your thoughts?
lol, this is such a victim-blaming answer, the design is bananas there's no excuse for it. Changing the form-factor slightly is worth it so you can plug the damn thing in while charging.
Note for those who aren't aware, a "Semantic Graph" means a knowledge graph built using a "sentence(pooled) transformer" language model to draw edges between the vertices (text data at whatever granularity the user decides) according to semantic similarity.

What's awesome about them is that they essentially form in my mind the "extractive" analogue to LLMs "generative" nature.

Semantic Graphs give every single graph theory algorithm a unique epistemological twist given any particular dataset. In my case, I've built and released pre-trained semantic graphs for my debate evidence. I observe that path traversals form "debate cases", and that graph centrality in this case finds the most "generic/universally applicable" evidence. Given a different dataset, the same algorithms will have different interpretations.

What makes txtai so awesome is that it creates a synchronized interface between an underlying vector DB, SQL DB, and a semantic knowledge graph. The flexibility and power this offers compared to other vector DB solutions is simply unparalleled. I have seen zero meaningful competition from a vectorDB industry which is flooded with money despite little product differentiation among themselves.

Disclaimer: I wrote an NLP paper with dmezzetti as my co-author about semantic graphs: https://aclanthology.org/2023.newsum-1.10.pdf
I’m not sure if it’s goal post shifting or not, but it is a true statement.
Love the idea of Quake specific hardware. We're still a few years away from having 1khz oled (or faster) displays but i am sure they'll arrive by the time I won't be able to make use of them due to old age. But I want to see it.

If course, all that goodness would be for nothing if we don't bake a proper version of the game. It's been a while but I think Quake server tickrate is likely to be on the low side.

Quick searching confirms that.
From https://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/qdq/articles/WallHug/fra...

"In normal Quake, the server framerate is controlled by a console variable called sys_ticrate. This measures the amount of time each frame should last, and its default value is 0.05 (that is, twenty frames per second.) Most server administrators don't bother to change this."

I say someone should take your idea, fix Quake 3 to run at 1khz on both the client and the server, then bake that into fpga. I would buy it
I've been looking for this kind of feature for a long time. Lots of orgs need to plan out certain things over the whole year with their various teams (you don't want two teams trying to do their biggest fundraising at the same time, for example), and it boggles my mind that calendar companies don't make this easy to see.

> if you can’t reproduce the model then it’s not truly open-source.

Open-source means open source, it does not make reproducibility guarantees. You get the code and you can use the code. Pushed to the extreme this is like saying Chromium is not open-source because my 4GB laptop can't compile it.

Getting training code for GPT-4 under MIT would be mostly useless, but it would still be open source.
The mirror thing is fascinating:

Shortly after we brought my mother into our home to care for her (after she had a near death psychosis episode), I awoke one morning to discover that all of our mirrors were covered with cloth (because her schizophrenia voices told her to do that).

It finally made me appreciate all the conspiracy movies where a schizophrenic personality is concerned about some thing that ends up being true.

The unfiltered voices come up with some wild ideas...

Thankfully, the medication that suppresses internal voices is working effectively.

Big minds think about systems. Small minds think about individuals within the system, like corporations or people, because they can't comprehend the bigger picture or even that one exists.

The people who think Apple is evil because of their size are simply not systems thinkers. They have an illogical view of the world in which the little guy is always right simply because they are the little guy, and thus the big guy must be wrong. It's very similar to the Amerika thing you said. If you don't think about the system Apple or America operates in, it's really easy to hate them.

Which is not to say one can't be a systems thinker and still think this was a bad decision or that Apple is given too much power or does things that are unethical or bad for consumers or whatever else. I totally concur that the government should require Apple and Google to allow sideloading, payments they're not involved in, etc BECAUSE I am thinking about the system and how having two corporations own the device our world runs on is a bad one. And how there's essentially no way for governments to mandate a third viable mobile OS into existence.

But the people who say "I can't believe you'd side with Apple" phrase it that way because they are not thinking of the system. They're thinking small. They think making ad-hoc decisions about individuals within the system is appropriate because they can't think any bigger. If they could, they'd lay out the argument as I just did (and, as many, many people in here did too) or something that was less about the individual.

There's been a lot of this on display (not so much here) in what people say about the whole Israel/Hamas situation too. It's not so much what they say (systems thinkers don't agree anymore than anyone else) but how they say it that tips it off.
My understanding is that they encoded domain in several dozens of mechanical rules described in extended data table 1, and then did transformer-guided brute force search for solutions.

I like https://github.com/evanw/lightgl.js

learnt from https://jamie-wong.com/2016/08/05/webgl-fluid-simulation/#im...

the elegant lightgl.js, which is an abstraction layer on top of WebGL that makes it much nicer to work with. Unlike THREE.js, it doesn’t make any assumptions about you wanting any concept of a camera or lighting or that you’re working in 3D at all.

Piracy: it's the only sure way out!
This is a really interesting take, but I don't completely buy it. Traditionally technologies like these become more accessible with time. Take the youtube example, this is actually a really good counterpoint as if you can create videos with an AI you created, nobody has any way of figuring out that you trained it on so-and-so's IP. It's completely black box which is the direction things are probably going to go IMO.

On the other hand, this is problematic because it'll slow down the development of the self-hostable models outside of the community moving to a darkweb like model where they stay beyond the reach of the legal system.
It's not only minorities they're harassing and killing.

> That committee you are talking about isn’t actually independent of Apple. They are a part of it.

> Historically Apple have repeatedly used those exact committee bodies as a way to shut down a whole range of things that would bring the web platform closer to iOS in terms of capabilities.

That’s not what’s happening, neither for this specific case nor in general.

There are three major rendering engines: Blink by Google, WebKit by Apple, and Gecko by Mozilla.

It’s an ongoing theme that Google will write a spec. and implement it in Blink, then Apple and Mozilla will either reject it outright or not express interest, and then people come along and accuse Apple of “holding back the web”. This has happened with Web Bluetooth, with Web USB, and more.

In this particular case, the ability to trigger installation prompts from a PWA was originally part of the manifest spec. But it got removed because nobody was keen on implementing it as-is except for Google. That’s how it ended up in the non-standard manifest-incubations instead.

Now there’s a chance that further work will be done on it in manifest-incubations to the point where Mozilla and Apple think it’s worth implementing. If consensus is reached it could become a web standard in future. But just because Google implemented something by themselves does not mean that “Apple are holding back the web”. Google are not the sole arbiter of what constitutes the web platform and Apple and Mozilla aren’t obligated to implement whatever Google wants. This is a case of Google promoting something by themselves, not Apple holding something back. Mozilla and Apple are in agreement; Google are the ones acting unilaterally.

> Apple have repeatedly tried to make sure the web wasn’t able to compete with iOS and actively worked to get as much lock in on their platforms as possible.

There is no single organisation that has done more to push the mobile web forward than Apple.
the actual answer is "those who apply themselves will be fine and those who spend all their days wallowing in marxist fantasies will stay poor (both spiritually and monetarily)"
I was referring to your leetcode analogy; those too are hard for humans.
My point is that this is a service that I was curious about but have no real need for. I'm mostly satisfied by using Google or DDG. As a customer, it's pretty absurd that the onus is on me to spend a fairly significant amount of time contacting support in order to simply evaluate a niche product. Furthermore, the company is a tech company, so the fact that their authentication is bugged, seems like more than enough of a reason to not spend any more of my time evaluating their service. I literally can't think of any web based products I currently use which have, at any point, had bugged authentication.
Honestly with fzf you can achieve the same thing. I’m not having anything against enhancd, but it’s surplus nowadays.
Except that the slope stays the same (in the UK) after the end of the Raj in 1947. The growth rate of India's economy stayed pre-industrial until the end of WWII (probably not coincidentally), that's why the relative GDP shrunk.

For the most part, police officers need to be replaced with case workers. People who can take records of crimes, provide counseling, and give actual legal advice to people affected. Occasionally we need dudes with guns to bust something up, but very rarely.
Publicizing money raises has (at least) two effects:

(1) It is a warning to competitors not to enter the market unless they're willing to put up a similar amount (all things being equal).

(2) It validates the valuation, which ultimately sets the bar for the next round or IPO.

Note that a company (with majority investors) will be wound up as soon as the prospects look bleak, even if there is plenty of money available. So in a financial environment with few alternatives (i.e., low interest rates), it makes sense to park your money as a threat to competitors, so long as the run rate roughly tracks the residual value increase in a fire sale.

an interesting related question is that if a study did show that this was a form of mental disability, should such people be allowed to vote on psychotic worldviews? or is it too dangerous just as driving while blind is dangerous?
This is really cool. As far as boilerplate goes WebGPU is really not that bad (one just needs to look at Vulkan to see how fun it can get) but really anything to lower the barrier to entry is nice.

I am curious about the API overhead here. For example if I run two separate passes using bare WebGPU I could use a single command encoder. Would two function calls here result in two command encoders?

Another question - from the example code this doesnt look asynchronous, does it wait for everything to finish before returning? I could also be misreading the code I dont know typescript very well.
None of the other major labor unions consider police unions to be peers. When workers go on strike, police are across from them not with them. When strikers are harmed and killed, it is police doing the violence.

Because of these things, I think it's wise to not generalize across the two types of union.
I don’t just want specific directories to autocomplete. Whatever I navigate to is likely something I never even opened but was generated by a script and I now want to do manual changes to the contents. This approach makes for me the rare case as usable as the common one.
Your customers can't actually do this without downloading XCode and agreeing to its license agreements. Just downloading XCode is an impossible ask, to say nothing of compiling and deploying to a phone.

This is a non-solution.
Much better these days and easier to do. Fans are aso much quieter these days too. A few years ago I was twisted into building a water cooled GPU system because it was the only 30 series card I could get in a 6 month period. Wasn't too hard to build into a system that doesn't even have enough room for the water pump to stand vertically. Soft tubing is annoying though and will fatigue with time, restricting flow rates. So I suggest if you do that to take more time to ensure you have angled fittings where you need them and to zip tie straight paths where you can (and thicker tubing is better). Might just be easier to go hardline instead tbh.

Thermals are great though. But tbh now what I do is put my machine behind my TV and I have the side open and place the pump outside to stand vertically like old systems that had them outside the case lol. That's because if I'm not playing games on it then there's no difference in just sshing into the system because I live in the terminal anyways.
