I love my little PineTime. It's a great little watch. Took a little bit to work through to start up, but after that it's pretty golden. Simple and has the basics. I don't want a watch that can do everything, that's what my phone is for.

Yes, though at the time I believe it was static (no ads) so I was just left wondering why they felt the need to put up a TV screen showing what I'd see through the glass. It may have obscured whether something was in stock, but I forget.
To Avakian, it’s simply an expected growing pain. Cooler Screens plans to educate customers about the digital displays and launch features like voice recognition, so shoppers can ask about prices or item locations.

“This is the future of retail and shopping,” Avakian said.

If this is our future of "education", these parasitic, data grubbing companies can fuck right off along with any larger company that supports them.

Nothing whatsoever about this in the least bit improves the time you spend grabbing something from a cooler. It's blatant enshitification of a very basic buying task that need not involve any further interface, and it so obviously does nothing but try to squeeze more money from said basic interaction for nobody's benefit except Walgreens, the companies paying for their grubby little digital visuals, and the scum-loaded company that's selling this garbage to them.

I can almost imagine a future in which even the tissue of toilet paper comes covered in "engagement" ad visuals impregnated into its material through some sort of micro-display technology. At last in that case it would get exactly the engagement it most deserves and afterwards go where it really belongs.

We tend to be much better at noticing temperature changes than fixed temperatures anyway, and more likely to reach to feeling that we're getting warmer or colder, than the specific temperature differential causing it. I think a lot of the people who think they feel differences at that precision really are feeling the difference of their heating/cooling turning on or off at different intervals. As I noted in another comment, having spent time trying to figure out how to make all of my living room - which isn't that big - comfortable at the same time, the difference is often huge, even with thermostats with 0.1 steps, because when the thermostats triggers, it's not like it will precisely lift the temperature at its measured zone by 0.1 steps. It will either heat my underfloor heating or my radiators to a point where they will first hit a 0.1 increase, plus the margin before it triggers the other direction again, at which point they'll get turned off, and significantly overshoot while the floor or radiator cools down. Setting a thermostat to 24.3 is not going to leave you with a room at 24.3, it's going to leave you with a room fluctuating between something like 22 and 26 in different places and heights and time intervals...

The only time I'll buy that anyone manages that level of precision is if they live in a very modern house with near perfect insulation where the heating or cooling input needed to keep it in balance is near nothing.
Why all renaming when all apps do the same thing? I don't get it, why they just don't silently push the updated terms/changes and just leave the old name as is?
Uh what does that even mean?

I acknowledge that I really don't follow AI, but this is just confusing as all h*ll to me. Their description (and I really use the term loosely):

This advanced laptop offers a new level of interaction virtualization, allowing for unparalleled customization to meet your individual needs. More than just a
laptop, MaverickAI serves as a personal assistant and a platform for engaging with 3D content, all without the need for additional peripherals like VR headsets.

There is also an image of what seems to be a 3D rendered AI-driven avatar, hovering in front of the screen of a laptop whose keyboard is blank. Also, how is it pronounced? "Maverick to the power of AI" is not too smooth but that is what their styling looks like.

It's like a nightmare.

Depends what model you want to train, and how well you want your computer to keep working while you're doing it.

If you're interested in large language models there's a table of vram requirements for fine-tuning at [1] which says you could do the most basic type of fine-tuning on a 7B parameter model with 8GB VRAM.

You'll find that training takes quite a long time, and as a lot of the GPU power is going on training, your computer's responsiveness will suffer - even basic things like scrolling in your web browser or changing tabs uses the GPU, after all.

Spend a bit more and you'll probably have a better time.

F5 is spinning this to be about not disclosing CVE's when the truth is more that the experimental code that was flagged was not considered production ready and whomever is running it should know they are on their own. This CVE is an obvious bug, and

Retry is not an unusual response to unreliable hardware, and all hardware is ultimately unreliable.

Software running at scale in the cloud is written to be resilient to errors of this nature; jobs are cattle, if jobs get stuck or fail they are retried, and sometimes duplicate jobs are started concurrently to finish the entire batch earlier.
S3's metadata speed is horrifically slow. Part of the reason fake filesystems on S3 also perform badly is that checking anything to do with where a file is located, takes >250ms.

Now if you think about how many files are in a git repo, and how many are touched when you commit, you can see the problem.

I'm not sure JuiceFS is the answer, given that the metadata is stored in memory. but it is an answer.

It's neat to be able to transplant a CMS on top of other services that don't necessarily deploy by CI pipes, I made a DAV plugin(basic auth) for Netlify (back before the forks) so as long as a server supported listing(only DAV dependency really), GET, PUT and DELETE you could just plunk down the CMS files somewhere and point to the DAV share.

Actually any organisation worthy of the label "engineer" should do a thorough, no-blame, and collaborative post-mortem of such events so they don't happen again, and that would include warnings given.

Feature on time + risk, feature late + no risk (and anything in between), it's in the end an engineering and business decision and either choice might be the right one depending on the circumstances.
Thanks for this perspective on the tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency and the insight that an adequately pre-trained model should be in a position to recover lost information from bad tokens.

Tokenization, the gateway to word embeddings, is a means to an end. I'm not suggesting that better tokens are needed or that BPE tokens should be replaced with something else. I'm suggesting that aiming for a distributional semantics is setting the bar pretty low and that there are better places to end up than These Things Are Over Here And Those Things Are Over There Let's Combine Them And See What Happens. I'm expressing disbelief that these representations have been taken at face value and that there has been practically no discussion of applying alternative formalisms which may be more expressive.

Modeling language in a latent space only makes sense for certain aspects of language and certain kinds of analyses. Crucially, you have to have meaningful primitives to begin with. This line of thinking that an understanding of language and an understanding of the world is somehow going to emerge from mapping character spans onto a latent space and combining them with dot product attention is pretty half baked. These systems remain in Firth Mode™.
This is nuts, in a good way. Way more fun to have fast inference on images than text.
Personally, I don't see why one would hate SPA concept. I like it, because it enables to lower the traffic and make interactions... normal? And to use local computing when possible, instead of adding 2 and 2 over HTTP.

When people hate SPAs they actually hate terminally overweight abominations that no one (i.e. google) keeps in check, and that's the reason they are like that. Why should on-page interaction be slow or cost one 20MB of downloads? No reason. replaceChild() uses the same tech as <a href>. SPA is not a synonym for "impotent incompetence 11/10".

If humanity didn't invent SPAs, all these companies would just make half-a-minute loading .aspx-es instead. Because anything else they can not.

Government isn't involved in imperfect information or transaction costs: responsibility for those failures of the market delivering suboptimal results lie entirely with the market participants. Obvious examples include the highly profitable sale of products that avoid the R&D overhead and additional manufacturing expense to actually do what they claim to do, and the inability of various disparate individuals each receiving small negative side effects to their health to coordinate to stop a local polluter even if a tort system for restitution (a government intervention!) actually exists.

Creationism is also the perfect analogy for people who either are ignorant of or deny basically anything past the first page of an economics textbook in favour of the dogma that if markets fail to deliver optimal results it must be the fault of state intervention. Much like Marxism, the economics of Mises needs a lot of fairy dust
You can do the same with dependencies and "modern" JS toolkits. Dependency itself is not a cause but a symptom; websites and companies are no longer incentivized to reduce bloats, so redundant dependencies are hardly pruned.

Yes more than sufficient for an internal tool - we can assume good intentions of the users of the tool since people want for this to actually work and have no intention of hacking.

>I don't understand why garbage collection is so mythologized. TBH I don't even understand why people think `Arc` and `shared_pointer` aren't garbage collection.

Because when people talk about garbage collection in the context of the dichotomy between Rust and Java or Go, they talk about the latter being automatic memory management based on various heuristics, with the related runtime overhead, non-deterministic, etc.

Whereas Rust Arc is just reference counting and explicit, not to mention enforced at compile time.

By firing several hundred people, you just created new challenges for them. Their goal now is to find a new source of income to pay rent and eat.

Are you doing anything to mitigate that, or does the “together” only apply for people who help you on your goals? What exactly are this shared unspecified goals you’ll all overcome?

What's up with alpha shift, 3rd shift and 4th shift?
I disagree. This code is just lucky enough to be able to detect the data corruption, but without very deep understanding afterward the whole system state has to be assumed to be corrupted. You can retry until the code doesn't detect data corruption, but you have to assume other state is also corrupted. The right thing would be to scream loudly at the user that their system is unstable and to expect (future) data corruption unless the hardware + firmware (or its configuration) is fixed.

Sure it's unpleasant to be the messenger of bad news, but the alternatives are far worse unless the system is just a dedicated game console without any background processes (which isn't how those CPUs are used).
Person of color. Because of the implication.
Check out https://scenario.gg - they let you train your own LoRAs on custom images of a character (you need around 20 or so images from different angles for good consistency).

Actually you should mention it in the documentation. There's 2 types of documentation, so it's easier to just do the one: documentation for users, documentation for developers. Unless you work absolutely alone on all your projects and you don't open source them, someone else is going to be reading your code.

There's most likely a hidden prompt which tells Gemini to make people racially diverse. And Gemini complied perfectly. I can't call it "freeing itself from our control". It did exactly what was asked.

It's just a bug which was introduced by software engineers. No one says "Windows freed itself from our control" when BSOD happens. It's just a bug.

It's no longer black and white like the FDIV bug, but if the default configuration leads to data corruption in heavy SIMD workloads... sure you can reduce clock speed or increase voltage until it works, but unless the mainboards violate the specs this is at least partly an Intel CPU flaw leading to data corruption.
If only there was a branch of the US military with lots of ships, and bases around the world.
Cloud machines have a way better guarantee about such errors though. You will eventually see some errors at scale, but that error rate can be reliably quantified and handled accordingly.

Consumer machines are comparably wild. Remember that this issue was mainly spotted from Unreal error messages. Some do too much overclocking without enough testing, which will eventually harm the hardware anyway. Some happen to live in places where single-error upsets are more frequent (for example, high altitude or more radioactive bedrock). Some have an insufficient power supply that causes erratic behaviors only on heavy load. All those conditions can be handled in principle, but are much harder to do so in practice. So giving up is much more reasonable in this context.
What you'll see in tools that have any exposure to enterprise requirements is an option to say "don't regurgitate your training data". Basically if it generates something that's too similar to any of its input documents, it's thrown away before you see it.

In Github Copilot the option is labeled "Suggestions matching public code". They can offer to block them because they control both the input dataset and the model at inference time. If you download an open source model I don't think you can do it out of the box, you'd need to have that input dataset to be able to do the filtering.
