>"The Xeon Max CPU can be used in three memory configurations:

HBM only: In HBM-only mode, an HPC workload runs within 64 GB of package memory. The workload is bootable from HBM, and no
code changes are required. Additionally, no external DDR5 memory is required.

HBM cache: In cache mode, HBM functions as a memory-side cache for contents of DDR memory. In this mode, HBM is transparent
to all software because the HBM cache is managed by hardware memory controllers. No code changes are required.

HBM flat: In flat mode, both DDR and the HBM address spaces are visible to software. On a socket, each address space is exposed
as a separate NUMA node. This mode requires software optimization."

No, running it locally means running it on my laptop.

My Mac M2 is quite capable of running stable diffusion XL models and 30M parameter. LLMs under llama.cpp.

What I don’t like is the trend towards the way to do that being to open up network listeners with no authentication on them.

I used to think that way until I ran into one of the pathological cases (Ruby) and now I'll think very carefully about which job offers to accept based on the language(s) involved.
At multiple points in the paper, they describe the agent as "embodied", but it seems like they don't really justify their use of that term. Embodiment is a loaded word with a lot of associations in neighboring fields. I think it's a little wild that they're claiming this aspect in their abstract and conclusion and not really touching on it substantively in the body of the paper.
I enjoy community building as well and it’s why I organize the python Atlanta (pyATL) group. It is all about the community but also the individual. Having the goal of getting to know each person and working to align what we offer with what they want. People mostly want a place to belong and grow. Where they feel nurtured and supported. Without the pressure of constantly having to buy shit. When you put people first great things happen.
> delegation of authority by elected bodies to specialist subgroups is basically how government works without having 100,000 elected positions

The way you do it is that the specialist subgroup proposes legislation and then the generalist legislature votes on it. And maybe they defer to their proposals 95% of the time, but it means that the unelected specialists can't push through a controversial change without having it approved by the elected legislators.
Why Are People Unhealthy?
Not design. Engineering direction. People problem, instead of computer problem, to be quite honest. And one of those directions was that there was no other output than blitting RGBA8888 to screen (which was at one point the only format expected to be seen with Wayland, and GTK3 already was driving towards Wayland) - potentially accelerated with OpenGL (which had hilarious results on some chips where GL pipeline was 16bit only while 2D was 24bit).

Also, unless you're running Xsgi, it's not a given that every app is scaled by compositor.

Honestly, the right way was always to not assume any given DPI, and instead have every top-level window be DPI-aware and have the toolkit update that information dynamically.[1] Or optionally go all-in on vector dpi-independent approach.

[1] The only correct way to handle hi-dpi on Win32 GDI, where scaling is broken partly by old GDI assumption that DPI didn't change, and by applications that hardcoded 96 dpi

Are you seriously telling me those are different buildings?
Thank you very much for the thoughtful and insightful reply!

This is obviously speculation/intuition, but it's not terribly surprising to me at least that operating in e.g. pixel-space or a straightforward lifted latent manifold (modern diffusers basically) wouldn't have apparent structure under the fancy t-SNE type things that seem to be the heaviest artillery brought to the party (at least in the open). In pixel space, you get 6-17 fingers on 1-3 hands.

The `france - paris + uk === london` thing is real, and it's not surprising because there aren't typically much in the way of nonlinearities in `word2vec`/`fasttext`/`glove` type stuff. But this substantially survives all the leaky relus or whatever in LLMs. They're pretty clearly interpolating in a way that you could get close to with a composition of affine transforms.

JEPA (and maybe Sora if..., fuck it) seems a dramatic shift in forcing joint loss into a much higher-level space/manifold with (to me at least) shockingly semantic properties. I mean look at the I-JEPA reconstructions from pre-trained lifted space with some dinky diffuser/VAE-thing eating the hyperplane:

https://ai.meta.com/blog/yann-lecun-ai-model-i-jepa/

That's not pixel space, and you've got a lot of freedom to make it smoother, I suspect no one says "L1 regularization" anymore, but there's some modern version of that, we know how to do this.

AFAIU (and again, I welcome expert correction) TDA at least and really a lot of modern geometry is about "scruffy intrinsic / smooth embedded" or vice versa, and "scruffy at this scale but smooth if you set the focus right".
Some people are still in the honeymoon phase with conversational UIs.
I mean something more suitable than the HTML+JS+CSS combination. HTML is a document markup language, not a UI definition language. CSS mixes layout with styling, which are largely orthogonal. (One should be able to specify a UI independently from styling/theming.) A programming language like Javascript shouldn’t be needed for building a UI, in the majority of cases. Most UI components and behaviors should be standard (built into browsers, or whatever is used as the UI runtime) and declarative.

if you have absolutely no grounding in maths or science, then sure, it would be unusual to think that way, but if you do, which you clearly did, then it should no longer be unusual whatsoever.

it would be trivial to artificially construct a series that equals 1 until n=10^10 at which point it equals pi/785498. if these series do exist, then - without additional information - why would you ever think that one you're studying is not one of them?

even from a metaepistemological standpoint, had you never come across the notion that, for example, Fermat's Last Theorem could not have been proven simply by showing that 10^10/infinity of the possible outcomes had been shown to follow it?

Yes it did. "Sit" is the classic format, and "Sitx" is the modern format.

From Wikipedia:

"[Stuffit X] was designed to be extendable, support more compression methods, support long file names, and support Unix and Windows file attributes. StuffIt X improves over the original StuffIt format and its descendants by adding multiple compression algorithms such as PPM, and BWT to LZW-type compression. It also added a "block mode" option, error correcting "redundancy" options to protect against data loss, and several encryption options. In January 2005, JPEG compression was added as a StuffIt X compression option"

Unlike the original Stuffit format, Stuffit X never saw any significant use, since Mac OS X had switched to Zip as its default archive format.

really? on what basis do you make that claim? being accepting of others is the basis of our society. (we can't have a society if we don't learn how to accept others in that society)

claiming that this can't be learned is defeatist, and decidedly not helpful.

on the other hand, i don't believe you can force behavior on people against their will. they need to learn the behavior so that they actually want to behave like that.

I see it fairly often when doing code review, because sometimes a line of code or a function stands out that just doesn’t seem in line with the rest of the PR. So I add a comment like “what is this doing exactly?” because it’s usually something that’s difficult to understand, and the answer is usually “It’s what GPT/Copilot suggested shrug”. It’s not really something I approve of because it’s actively defying codebase standards that are intended to help the team. At least make the effort to clean it up so it meets basic expectations.

I imagine it’s quite easy to ask the same question during a code test because you shouldn’t have to stop and think about code you consciously wrote, and you wouldn’t have to wait for GPT to feed you an answer.

I feel GPT3.5 is more cautious than GPT4. I tried asking 3.5 something about historical tax rates over the past 10 years in the US and it refused to answer because it’s a political topic or something. GPT4 answered right away.

I’m not sure if it has something to do with the paywall of GPT4, or if GPT4 can better determine which things are political and which aren’t? Interesting nonetheless.
I ask them to share their whole screen.
It used to be four months now it's two. 19th century it could take weeks or months to tally the vote. Other big big difference is in the US legislative and executive branches are separate and in Britain they are not. Your Prime minister is a member of parliament. US presidents often aren't members of either congress or the presidency.

The system also tends to be centered around the idea of good faith which admittedly is a bit tattered.
In addition to the initial loading time noted by the other posters:

You may want to use the same inference engine or even the same LLM for multiple purposes in multiple applications.

Also, which is a huge factor in my opinion, is getting your machine, environment and OS into a state that can't run the models efficiently. It wasn't trivial to me. Putting all this complexity inside a container (and therefore "server") helps tremendously, a) in setting everything up initially and b) keeping up with the constant improvements and updates that are happening regularly.

I can relate. After some years I first switched to the Apache 2 license, later for some code AGPLv3. My stuff is mostly garbage and some software debt but who knows ;)

Now I start leaning towards: if one doesn’t want others to use it, don’t release it.
I see this over and over again in programming projects like

- real time games involving multiple characters (which run some sort of logic to appear human/intelligent, often running some priority queue/stack machine)

- simulations involving multiple agents/actors which should (appear to) run simultaneously (e.g. network simulation of multiple routers/computers communicating, running some routing protocol/network program)

- other systems where users are inputting their own programs (like programming challenges) or where combining multiple effects may potentially cause infinite loops (like in some card games)

- systems where a user receives a potentially untrusted program which, even if sandboxed from accesssing external data resources, may exhaust cpu time and memory (like the web)

These most often lead devs to create their own domain specific language and interpreter (or embedding another language like Lua), to be able to step through programs in order to simulate simultaneity (by running each, say, simulated router for a few steps each in turn) and/or prevent one component from using all the resources (by counting cycles/instruction steps).

But this always because the popular languages we use don't allow one to run another interpreter of that language recursively, for a limited number of steps. This disappoints me, because this is less expressive power/flexibility than what a CPU provides at the base level (with timer interrupts or breakpoints).

I love to link to this page: https://stackless.readthedocs.io/en/2.7-slp/library/stackles... because Stackless Python is one language that can do this. On the other hand, security-wise, Python is awful because unlike with WebAssembly for example, there aren't any isolated processes/containers, and there likely never will be this level of secure containment.

I'm confused by this argument.

Copyright exists in order that creative works are sold for more than their marginal cost of reproduction, and the profits from that are directed towards the author. Having the exclusive right to produce the copies, copyright, enabled creativity to be rewarded.

Making distribution cheaper and easier makes copyright perhaps make more sense, not less, but didn't change the underlying logic of trying needing to sell creative works for more than their marginal reproduction cost, even if you figure that cost is zero.

Except for scientific publishing. Burn that all down. Because the authors aren't getting any money (and actually want distribution, not payment) so copyright of scientific works isn't achieving anything positive for society at all.
Seems like GPT4 via the API is even less nerfed (my impression). More expensive though, obivously.

Nice, I wish such old service manuals were more freely available for other equipment too. Car ones are generally easy to find, but for some like certain tractors, despite being over 50 years old, aren't freely available and require paying like $120 for a loose leaf copy.

A friend of mine bought a Case 830 gas tractor that stalled out randomly while driving it home and it refused to start again, and another friend came over and tried to "help" by randomly turning all the carb adjustment screws. I thought I could just look up the manual online to reset them properly since it was old as shit and half the people who ever bought them also got manuals for them. Figured it would put us in a good position to diagnose the original problem at that point. But no you gotta pay an extortionate amount for some company to print off a loose paper copy, a free copy of the digital file for printing it was nowhere to be found.
