It's overkill because these containers typically have a lifetime counted in single digit seconds, and it takes kubernetes not only more time but also more compute resources to decide where to allocate the pod than to actually just run the thing.
Either: (1) sometimes, the purpose of art is to make us think, not to be a completely precise description of the world.

Datadog has a new feature for querying the whole trace call graph that they seem to be testing out. Sounds like precisely the thing you're describing.
I mean, it expands the hardware selection, but until there's models and leader boards etc, can't really say it's a break through.
Don't make the files "seemingly unrelated". Have a very clear relationship between test data and the tests. And keep the mapping simple, ideally 1-1 data file to test. Or 1 file to 1 group of tests.
Of course it depends on the amount of data. If < 50 lines, inlining is practical.
Should be "sound out", but great breakdown and mnemonics.
I don't know about Switzerland but Dutch insurers are all non-profits though (except one, that has never once paid out dividends). They have a strong incentive to keep costs down. Hospitals are all non-profits, too.
You're confusing the insurance industry with the health industry. When you have the same companies owning hospital chains and insurance, they can easily pretend to be a low profit industry.

The industry as a whole is insanely profitable. Revenue is $1.4 trillion. It posts profits of around $650bn. Which means on average it extracts around $2000 of profit from every single person in the US, with an average individual healthcare spend of more than $4000.

The profit is in the ballpark of the entire US defence budget, at around $750bn.

Healthcare is a huge boat anchor drag on the entire economy.
Balanced ternary, my beloved.
> Correlation does not imply causation.

Correct, but the effect on the wallet doesn't care if there is a causal relationship. And since my wallet is closer to me than a philosophical debate, the conclusion I reach in this case, is to move my site ;-)

I was just reminded today that my M2 Pro has a fan at all. Ollama went into a loop and the fan started spinning after a couple minutes. It still took me a few more minutes to realise it was spinning though as it's nearly whisper silent!
Yes! I love this!

So you'd be translating English to Simplified English? Or are you talking from another source language?

I've already been playing with this concept w.r.t. books:

I take a non-fiction book. I'll have an LLM translate it with a specific audience in mind (say, a 7 year old girl with a certain background), explaining concepts and words that are likely unknown to that audience. And then converting the whole thing into an audiobook. Optional parental controls built in ("exclude violence", etc.). Nowhere near showtime, though.

Another thing I'd love to work on is filtering existing content. There are millions of videos on YouTube. Right now, finding quality stuff that's fun to watch with my kid depends a lot on dumb luck. But what if I could filter by topic (semantic whitelist/blacklist, i.e. not keyword dependent), personality traits (OCEAN, MBTI), values (e.g. "curiousity") and language (reading level, vocabulary, words per minute, etc.)? I'd love that.
Do you have any evidence for any of the parts of your statement? Those are some big claims and some evidence is warranted - rumors can say just about anything and usually are far from the full truth (and often completely false).
It's kinda sad that Google _used to_ be capable of solving obscure problems.
When learning, it's always good to make connections to things you already know. However I showed it to my daughter who is learning Korean, and there are some flaws. I mean at least with the EEH OOH and other wovels. Too hard for me to explain, as I can't read Korean at all.
> Since getting actual Switch game data necessarily involves violating the DMCA,

None of that is related to Yuzu though, Yuzu can only play what you give it.

And no I disagree, the fastest way for me to deplop a switch game is to use an emulator such as Yuzu, it's a much faster feedback loop than a devkit and I'm sure there's a lot of indie games developped or tested this way. So there's also other purposes to this software.
Also YouTube, but the bot comments are all backdated to appear older.
To be fair, the order of the Latin alphabet looks rather arbitrary as well.

One of the most amazing parts to me was how the crickets all started chirping as soon as the sun went out, as they were all fooled into thinking it was suddenly nighttime for 30 seconds.
I would say learn Hangul in 15 min, not Korean in 15 min.
You have just discovered a difference between a morpheme and phoneme! :-)

Korean ㅂ is a single morpheme (smallest unit of meaning) that can be realized as multiple phonemes (smallest unit of linguistically meaningful sound), here /p/ in a word initial or syllable final position or /b/ in other syllable initial positions, but the end of /p/ for the final ㅂ is not clearly indicated (applosive). Korean speakers mix them all the way without realizing that, just like other languages.

English distinguishes /b/ and /p/ as different morphemes instead, so it's natural that an English approximation uses different characters for them.
Agreed. IMO it's used as a tactic to catch people off guard, so the organiser can attend more prepared than anyone else, and get their way

But the person who could enforce that all meetings must have an agenda probably also uses the lack of an agenda to their advantage, so the status quo continues
This looks pretty useful! Question on the nginx container. For my tests, this container is only useful when files are mounted into the container. For example, it needs an nginx.conf passed in. How do I do this with NginxContainer?
Dutch Police has been trying to sound that alarm now for years (ondermijnende criminaliteit), but nobody listens. I regularly read about incidents in foreign media that got no coverage locally. My municipality is running awareness campaigns for youths (they are favoured runners, we're close to a border) and it is a public secret that many businesses that flooded in 2021 had (and taken) offers from people in that circuit because governmental support has been so slow to materialize.

I've read messaging from Italian persecution officials raising their concern for the utter lack of addressing the issue in NL.

The most renowned policy institute wrote an alarming report in 2021 (Dutch, couldn't find English): https://www.clingendael.org/sites/default/files/2021-01/Poli...

And is there a reason to not move to Mexico even without an union?

Labour will be cheaper anyway, what's stopping a company from milking the local population for as much as possible, paying as low as possible and when people start to get fed up with it and they just move it to Mexico?

There's no rational basis for this fear of unions, what you fear is globalisation itself, it's already happened, and it was caused by USA-exported economics ideology since the 80s in the form of neoliberalism.
Yes, but mass extinction is the result of our greater land usage and resource overexploitation, not climate change (in that it would be happening even if climate change was not).

This also makes it harder for many species to adjust to climate change and habitat loss as it is much harder for them to migrate.
I suppose this doesn’t surprise me anymore. Our current government has a very heavy legislative hand and has a certain self-righteous and controlling tendencies. It borderlines on micromanagement and has led to massive government expansion. We’re talking a 30-40% increase in order to regulate and administer all of these new bills and programs. We’ve nearly doubled our federal debt yet completely tanked due to all of the benefits of micromanaging as you’d expect.
Those classics (plus Pingus, Numpty Physics and Mokomaze) were what I used to be playing on my first GNU/Linux smartphone, Neo Freerunner:)
Assume but verify I think is reasonable for external dependencies. Meaning do not test them explicitly, but have tests that exercise rh external dependencies such that it will uncover at least major braking changes in the dependency. Cause such things do happen from time to time. And it is highly benficial to be able to update dependencies and be confident that nothing broke - much easier to stay up to date.
Depends on the model honestly. If you include gpt model in your unit tests, be prepared to run them over and over again until you get a pass, or chase your own shadow debugging non-errors.
They do not have perplexity numbers for the larger models (see Table 2), only speed and memory benchmarks.
You can just as easily run pirated games on real hardware as you can a steamdeck, and vice-versa. You're conflating emulation and piracy. Emulation does not mean piracy as it is perfectly legal (and moral) to dump a game that you own so that you can play it on your preferred hardware.
it is amusingly paradoxical that you are defending art that condemns anything that makes you think by claiming that the art itself makes you think—and at the same time attacking me for thinking and advocating thinking!

I taught myself the Russian variant of Cyrillic when I was in college after I had finished my Spanish courses, and I found that the other variants aren't that difficult to pick up. One thing I noticed was there are a lot of English cognates as well. Then again, borrowings happen in both directions. I'm pretty sure the English word "hooey" has a Slavic origin. :)

I never would have properly guessed the pronunciation of the Serbian city of Subotica had I not seen the name rendered in Cyrillic: Суботица. "C" in South Slavic Latin script has no relation to "C" in English.

> What happened to the translucent back covers on a Mac? Why aren’t there different colors that are actually appealing? You guys remember the iPod and its various colors right?

This is excellent. Those things were bizarre but incredibly cool. Apple went from whimsy to faux luxury, losing their soul in the process.

I still use a lot of their products though as I still find them highly superior to the (also whimsy-less) alternatives.
And your customers like it much less if prod breaks during their business hours.
There are trade offs. The question is - are people willing to make them?

Just compare access in the US to countries with regulated universal care.

Have cystic fibrosis? Good news! There are drugs that reverse the genetic defect! In the US even Medicaid patients got access back in 2014.

In Canada? Unless you live in one of 5 provinces that fund it, you don’t get it. Oh, and if you’re an adult? Nope, not a funding priority.

In the UK, they didn’t get access until 2020. Six years after the US.

Then you can look at some of the newest advances in cancer. You might need to wait 2-3 years after the US gets it.

Then look at physician salaries. Access to primary care doctors. Waiting lists for joint replacement.
This is great, my employer just gave me a M1 laptop with only 16gb ram and I had to downgrade my 7B parameter local LLM’s to 3 bit quantizing, they’ve been surprisingly okay!

In my personal machine at 64gb ram, I usually use 8x7B at Q5 or 70B at Q4

Its Mistral all the way down! Imagining Q1.58 that’s doing well makes me happy
yes, and more generally there are many things that are unnecessarily difficult. but many other things are difficult because of their nature; there is no royal road to geometry or to nmr images

i'll edit my comment above to clarify that
I might be biased as I’m Korean myself, but written Korean is probably the easiest of the East Asian languages to read if for no other reason than that you don’t have to memorize hundreds to a thousand+ Chinese characters as in Chinese or Japanese to become functionally literate.

Chinese characters (called Hanja) are still used here and there in Korea but they are very rare and you don’t need to know them at all to function. Versus Japan where knowing Kanji is pretty much necessary.
I find an LLM is a great way to replace questions that would ultimately end up with me scrolling through a Stackoverflow answers.

For example, "How do you do X in Golang?"

It's also great for translation-like questions like, "Given this cURL command, can you generate a Go function...", or "Can you port this Ruby code into Go", etc.
There are a lot of other good answers here. My 2c:

People will use all kinds of tactics to get their way. Putting you under time pressure, bombarding you with a stream of precise facts and figures, making you feel slow and stupid and out of sync; these are all just ploys used by a hostile counterparty to influence your decision making.

You need to learn to recognize these tactics for what they are and develop counter measures.

Some "honorable" counter measures might be: demand to be sent the details in writing and promise a decision in a reasonable amount of time. Buy time by repeating back what they just said to you "to make sure you understand". Ask a lot of clarifying questions. Make your decision conditional ("I'll buy in if you can provide me with data set X that supports your direction"). etc.

For less honorable counter measures just think of "bad meeting" tropes. Appeal to authority ("we can't make a decision without person Y here, or without committee Z signing off"). Bike shedding. Circular reasoning. etc. You really shouldn't make a habit of any of these, but sometimes when you're ambushed by a bad faith actor you're gonna need to fight dirty.
Those numbers are for cost only, not performance. It’s not clear they actually trained a 70B vs. just using randomly initialized parameters.
I'm Norwegian, and Norway used to be near-universally non-dubbing other than for TV for the very youngest children, and even then almost exclusively cartoons or stop motion etc. where it wasn't so jarring. But the target age of material being dubbed has crept up as it has become relatively-speaking cheaper to do compared to revenues generated in what is a tiny market.

The thing that annoys me the most about it is that it often alters the feel of the material. E.g. I watched Valiant (2005) with my son in Norwegian first, because he got it on DVD from his grandparents. He doesn't understand much Norwegian, but when he first got the DVD he was so little that it didn't matter. A few years later we watched the English language version.

It comes across as much darker in the English version. The voice acting is much more somber than the relatively cheerful way the Norwegian dub was done, and it while it's still a comedy, in comparison it feels like the Norwegian version obscures a lot of the tension, and it makes it feel almost like a different movie.

I guess that could go both ways, but it does often feel like the people dubbing something are likely to have less time and opportunity to get direction on how to play the part, and you can often hear the consequences.
I just wish there was a way to buy the Australian original version as a download.
Ask your cinefile friend to watch a movie on a Quest 3 for comparison its issues are even worse by comparison.
You're making two key assumptions:

* How far ahead/behind a company is is entirely a function of developer talent.

* How talented your developers are is entirely a function of their salary.

I strongly believe that neither one of these things is true. We'll see who's right in the coming years.
I dont think any of these manufacturers develop nor support any emulator.
Interesting, I can see how that approach would catch the weird voice lines.

Just the different ways the languages get picked up and processed by the AI system could be interesting. If you find anything cool, I'd love to read a blog post about it!
Everybody knows about the rich lunatics that make computers do stuff nowadays.
In general, probably not. Ideally all of the actions would take place during regular work hours so that you don't have weekend support costs.

If you cannot keep up with compute during regular hours, then perhaps you would find some benefit in seeing some of the load distributed to weekend hours.

I find unit tests to be useful for testing complex and stateless logic but not much else (which is most things).

Im mystified that they became the "default" test. They ought to be niche.
Why would your ideal solution still involve insurance? I think most people want the hospital (they don't care who runs it) to send the bill to the government. That's it. And if the state or federal government wants to set up a system of oversight over the charges, then good.
Try phind[0] - it works without login or payment and provides sources to its claims, I switch to it when I can't find something via standard web search but it has not helped me yet. I am still convinced that AI is better than web search only in Layer-8 related queries.

Thank you.

Exactly. I had the OG voice removed at first. But I added it back in for exactly this reason. It also serves as a tool for AI accountability: It lets you "see" that the cloned voice is indeed saying the same thing as the original voice.

That being said, it would be trivial to turn the OG voice off for anyone who wants to.
Tell my wife the retort I should have come up with 10 minutes earlier, and remind myself that good decisions that truly matter are still just as good the next day.
The most glaring omission is that they only compared to fp16 models, not to quantized models. And of course the benchmarks might be misleading compared to the real experience.

But if you wanted to make LLM-specific hardware (or x64 instructions tuned for LLMs) this model architecture makes that extremely cheap. Multiplication requires a lot of transistors, this architecture requires only two-bit adders. You could make SIMD instructions that do thousands of these in parallel, for fairly little silicon cost.
Can someone way cleverer than me explain why, or if, this is better than things like snap/flatpaks as well as distros like nixos?

This seems, at face value without a deep understanding, to be the simplest way to do it. Again the caveat is my lack of knowledge.
I have always been a GNOME person and haven't used any KDE since decades ago. I should give it a try again. Looks good.

Best way to learn Korean is to learn to read Hangul first. Romanization of Korean is misleading, and leads to pronunciation mistakes. For example, 부산 is romanized to Busan, but the actual pronunciation is more like Pusan, which is a p with less aspiration than the English p. However, a Korean speaker will still understand if you said Pusan with an English accent, rather than Busan.

The comic also missed some details, as there are many more sound changes on certain consonants when combined together, However, those could be introduced later as you progress. Definitely cannot be done in 15 min if you want to master all :-)
Until they run out. We can't recycle anything 100%. Eventually we'll have to learn to do without.
Observing other people I interact with often and learn their motivational flows and behavioral patterns. People telegraph a lot once you take the time to study them.

It’s not. Projections say that global gdp will shrink 18% by 2050 because of climate change [1].

After reading the results I skipped back to the comment section to ask if this was real because it looks a little too good to be true, but figured I should check authors and it's Microsoft research and UCAS so yeah, real. This is going to change a lot of things, obviously the edge computing applications they point out, but also this is going to bottom out the cost of providing high-performance LLMs in the cloud. I don't know what that means for the economics long term, naively way less costs maybe means new entrants without an entire cloud available can compete easier? I do wonder if something like this has already been found and implemented by either OpenAI or Google.
I think you're right and I clearly read too much into the Wikipedia pages, instead of looking for more primary source documents like those others have posted. I will be more careful in the future. Thank you for pointing that out!
