My workflow will probably seem a bit clunky since I try to make the notes as good as possible. That can mean spending anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes writing a note if I intend to memorize it. And yes, this is all through the "Add" screen.

Obviously, if you're in class, you can't really spend that long on a single note. So in class I would usually just take notes (in Anki) without thinking about it too much, then rewrite them when I got home.

When browsing the web, I'll usually take screenshots (not bookmarks! though there are benefits to those too) when I see something interesting if I don't feel like putting it into Anki immediately. Then once or twice a week I'll go through my screenshots folder and either make proper flashcards or one-sided notes (which sometimes just means dragging the screenshot to the add window and pressing "add") of the stuff in there.

When watching a tutorial, I'll pause often and take my time writing notes if I feel like it's important. Otherwise I'll just take screenshots and decide later what I'll do with it, like above.

When it comes to tags, I'm hesitant to recommend the following because it's probably not "objectively" the best practice, but I organize my notes mainly by decks, and I don't bother at all with tagging them. I just found that it was too much of a hassle having to tag every card with multiple tags.

The key is really about finding joy in making the cards. I agree that the "Add" window isn't the most joyful experience, but I can live with it. Oh and I'll sometimes play around with stable diffusion to generate images to help me remember some of the stuff. Of course this will make creating cards take even longer, but it certainly adds to the fun!

The pitfall to watch out for with Anki is that it can become very time-consuming and feel like a burden when you have too many reviews. This might be something everyone has to figure out for themselves by trial and error, but if you're just using it to take notes without trying to memorize them, it's not something to worry about.

While I don't know of any Youtube videos dealing with this very specific thing, I think The Anking[1] has some of the higher-quality videos when it comes to Anki in general.

Either way, I'd love to hear about other people's workflows.

Crashes are such an outsized component of insurance coverage compared to theft that this would not be a substantial motivation for manufacturers.
In a bunch of scenarios (mining, military, boats, planes) the vehicles explicitly don't have locks or ignition keys, you press a button and it starts up, you're good to go - should the manufacturer be liable if one gets stolen?

In the Microsoft SQL Server space, several of these vendors have come and gone. My clients have been burned badly by 'em, so a few quick lessons learned:

Be aware that there are hundreds of open issues[0] and dozens of pull requests [1], some of which involve clients being unable to connect or not supporting all components of the SQL language. Just because your database supports something, doesn't mean your caching layer will.

It gets really ugly when a new version of your database comes out, with brand new features and language enhancements, and the caching layer doesn't support it. It may take months, or in some cases years, before the caching layer is feature-complete with the underlying database. If you want to use some of those language enhancements, then your app may have to maintain two connection strings - one for the caching layer, and one for direct database queries that the caching layer doesn't support.

Your support teams need to learn how to diagnose problems with the caching layer. For example, this issue [2] talks about the level of work involved with understanding why newly inserted data isn't showing up in selects.

I hope they succeed and deliver the concept, because it's one of the holy grails of databases.

Too many people are 'overemployed' recently. Many even no longer hide it, although it's certainly a criminal fraud. Companies have to resolve it one day, it's too stupid to leave that much money on the table by doling it out to criminals.

In general, i understand where far-right 'tough on crime' people are coming from. Too many crimes have become so habitual and chronically, systematically unenforced they are hardly seen as wrongdoings by most people committing them. Blatant, in-the-open illegal immigration, chronic intentional vagrancy, 'overemployment', casual scams of all sorts. Someone has to put an end on it.
You're right that they don't call them language models. The technical report says:

Gemma models demonstrate strong performance across
academic benchmarks for language understanding,
reasoning, and safety.

Maybe they are reserving the right to expand Gemma model family to multi-modal models.
> Also, the Empire was always modeled after fascist Nazi Germany, even down to the black, white, red colors, and storm-trooper terminology.

Yes but it was also explicitly an allegory for the US in the Vietnam War. George Lucas stated as much in an interview.

> betrayal of Luke and Yoda

I'm still not sure what you see as betrayal. You seem upset with the decision to torch the sacred texts and I admit that was at least a bit heavy handed for what it was trying to do but it's hardly a betrayal. Disney had already wiped out the Extended Universe with the first movie so that can't be what colors your perception at this point.

There's nothing in the other two trilogies to suggest that Yoda would be deeply invested in the Jedi texts. If anything, his most important lesson for Luke is that he is afraid to fall for the Dark Side. TLJ simply revisits this fear as something he didn't fully overcome and that led to Ben's transformation into Kylo Ren. It doesn't portray Ben in a sympathetic light here either, he was already a flawed student and burdened by his own insecurities and shortcomings so Luke merely gave him an excuse to choose the Dark Side - and we're shown conflicting retellings of those events anyway with both retellings being clearly motivated and unreliable.

TFA set up Luke to have failed because there was clearly no big Jedi Academy in his hermitage and if he trained new Jedi before he must have had some reason to have stopped. TLJ gave him a motivation to retreat: his fear had never left him and by losing his nephew and best friend's son to the Dark Side over it, he chose to retreat to avoid causing more harm.

TLJ also gave Luke a full redemption arc. The destruction of the sacred texts symbolically throws off the shackles of dogma that he upheld in his training of new Jedi but that ultimately turned out to be inadequate to overcome his and Ben's own flaws. This establishes that Rey's Jedi training will be different and have to be a strengthening of her character rather than her discipline or abilities. Luke then sacrifices himself not only to help her and the other rebels escape but also to overcome Kylo Ren not with superior power but with compassion and intellect. He plays Kylo Ren's fury and desire for revenge like a fiddle and demonstrates its futility and impotence.

The prequel trilogy overindulged in the "pew pew lasers and swordfights" aspect of the setting the original trilogy provided, TLJ went back to the characters and the meaning behind their actions. It's kinda ironic you keep saying TLJ betrayed the characters because for all I can see it's the first new movie that takes the characters seriously and goes more than just skin deep.

Everybody's trying to find status, belonging, being somebody special - something that boosts their ego, essentially. It reminds me of C. S. Lewis's essay "The Inner Ring" (at https://www.lewissociety.org/innerring/ ).
Ugh. Sorry. Probably some of their users found out about this thread.

I'm going to move all of this to an offtopic stub and collapse it.

We tell founders to make sure this doesn't happen (see https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html) but I probably need to make the message louder. Not everyone understands that the culture of HN doesn't work this way.
You're right, that calling them language model is no longer accurate. But "Language Model" has a precise signification (which is that it tries to create a perfect representation of the language). Saying "multimodal model", you're not really saying what does it try to represent. "World Model" or "Human Model" would be more accurate at this point
Yes models can be downloaded locally. In addition to the python NN frameworks and ggml as options, we also implemented a standalone C++ implementation that you can run locally at https://github.com/google/gemma.cpp
Average cost where?

10k on an employee whose total cost is at least 120k is not insane at all. Computer equipment is ~5k (also for the same reason). Not to mention support staff like IT (guess why).
I understand why it's useful to have access to another process' opened files.

I was wondering more why the Plan9 behavior would be useful - why you would want opening /proc/self/fd/<n> to give you a reference to the same file description instead of giving you a new file description. I assume opening /proc/<other-pid>/fd/<n> doesn't share file descriptions with the other process in Plan9 either, but maybe I'm assuming that wrongly as well.
Maybe we could try enforcing those laws with no mercy given to the "wayward teens who don't know any better" (they do.)
This is true in absolute terms but over simplified because it glosses over the differences in scale. We require cars to have seatbelts because even though people still die in crashes, it’s a statistically certainty that many fewer die when seatbelts are used.

Setting minimum standards is a critical function of governments in maintaining healthy markets because it prevents cheating from being cost effective. If you make a safety feature optional, you will have some fraction of people say that they don’t need it and then cost society money when it turns out they were wrong. In the case of poor locks, even if much of the cost is paid by the owners’ insurance there’s still a lot of expense from the extra police and court costs, and stolen cars are often used to support other crimes.
> why do you think you should get terabytes of data hosting for a tiny price

I've got 30GB on my plan, I use 5GB. The only feature I use is Mail and I was perfectly fine paying €6.50 for that, now I'll be paying €8.50, I'm not costing them much but they're making a lot from me.
Security flaws are not born equal. I think there is supposed to be a clear distinction between flaws inherent in technology -- since you only know what you know nobody should be expected to develop impenetrable digital fortresses since that doesn't exist and would actually be harmful for the consumer -- and those flaws born out of neglect. The latter should be specified and treated accordingly, because it isn't a valid excuse that technology can't be 100% secure that the industry should accept poor standards.

Also, Flipper Zero can be made DIY, so I don't know if I get it, but the law will be DOA, and actually work against the democatization and awareness of such flaws by the public.
Commercial leases for large offices are pretty long. I think 8-10 years or longer is fairly normal?

If you're stuck with 5 more years of 2019 rates and all your competitors have downsized, your cost per employee is going to be much higher.

Some percentage of the larger companies are going to own their office space too.

I'd guess as we get further from the start of covid (bit over 4 years now?) the pressure to RTO will dwindle as more companies downsize.
Not unsurprising considering that the Germans are good solid neighbors but the populistic agenda is demanding WWII reparations from Germany and making them the culprit for a lot of European decisions.

GP seems to be using the "classical liberalism" definition of liberalism, which largerly overlaps with what's generally considered libertarianism.
well said, man. I know you don't lay out your first comment in a perfectly programmatic, unambiguous, chronological way (one doesn't need to use English like a programming language, ever, afterall!!). But it's perfectly coherent with a bit of comprehension, and joining the dots. All those things are very much connected!

Perhaps the other commenter is not so much taking issue with your painful experience and relation of historical forces -- they just don't understand it or how you express it. It seems to be if it was presented to them in a more linear history analysis way, and they were given time to ruminate on it, they would definitely understand it. And maybe even completely come around to your way of seeing it! :)

One can only hope, I suppose! :)

Oh well, the tyranny of assumed subtext that doesn't overlap with where each commenter comes from I guess. Haha! :)
There are non-mainstream explanations for how what keeps the universe going that have a much simpler model and a much better track record on predictability. There are six prevailing different incompatible theories for black holes and if you ask someone which of the six theories they are talking about when they insist that black holes do exist it's very rare that they will be able to tell you which.

There's a recent article in MIT Technology Review about it (from the author of Chip Wars)

I would have picked Google five years ago, since nobody was releasing commercially viable LLMs at the time, and Google was the center of all the research that I knew of.
I think that's the point, they released GPT2 openly, but as soon as they had something commercially viable they became ClosedAI.
I would suggest adapting the website to communicate those points a bit more clearly. The communication on that website isn't great. It's a common problem with things techies build for other techies.

The key friction getting users to switch from something they already use is articulating why that is worth doing and investing lots of time in and/or making the point that it's really easy to switch is the main job of that website. Without that, most people simply won't.

The point with an ecosystem is that there won't ever be one worth talking about unless people work hard to build one. "Build it and they will come" rarely works. This website isn't good enough to make that happen.

> what is the most successful software written in it, btw?

Depends on how you define successful, but I’d probably put money on it being “whataver the few million lines inside of Facebook are doing” or “the few million (probably, I don’t actually know on this one) lines inside of Amazon that they say powers S3, EC2, and CloudFront. Might be the various CloudFlare products, given how likely a given GET request is to touch their infrastructure.

I'd only offer two insights. First, don't underestimate the power of personal contact. As great as technology is, getting to know, and showing interest in others on a personal level is powerful. People are a social species and will choose a friend over a stranger to deal with. Second, success (or failure) accumulates over time. As you build, you gain momentum. Many people change course too quickly, and as a result, never gain the momentum that makes things easier and more rewarding.

> Not at all. When you're the underdog, it makes perfect sense to be open because you can profit from the work of the community and gain market share. Only after establishing some kind of dominance or monopoly it makes sense (profit wise) to switch to closed technology.

That is purely the language of commerce. OpenAI was supposed to be a public benefit organisation, but it acts like a garden variety evil corp.

Even garden variety evil corps spend decades benefitting society with good products and services before they become big and greedy, but OpenAI skipped all that and just cut to the chase. It saw an opening with the insane hype around ChatGPT and just grabbed all it could as fast as it could.

I have a special contempt for OpenAI on that basis.
