The SSMs papers and blogs always have unnecessarily complicated explanations. At this point I almost wonder if its to hide how simple the underlying algorithms are, or to make them seem fancy.

SSMs are doing exponentially weighted moving averages (EMA). That's it- to summarize the past, you take an EMA of a variable output at each time step. Mamba changes one key thing- instead of decaying the past by a fixed amount each step as in a constant-time EMA, we have another output which decides how much to forget, or equivalently, how much 'time' has passed since the last observation in our EMA.

All of the matrix equations, continuous time, discretization, etc, will end up with a dynamic-forgetting EMA as I describe above. This also makes the benefits and limitations clear- finite state size, has to decide at a given layer what to forget before it sees the past at that layer.
I can't speak for others, but it absolutely has made life easier, on both small and large scales.

I'm all for demanding more transparency on environmental footprint. Hard numbers are hard to get by.

Having done some superficial research on media streaming myself, so far I found most of the energy is wasted in the network, not the data center. Worse, over half is ambient, unrelated to whether or not bits are passing over it.

Tentative highlight: fiber uses roughly half the electricity compared to copper, and is also cheaper to produce (in terms of natural resources).
Companies should just stop thinking they need their own design system.

There's zero value in reinventing how buttons and inputs should look like.

I've worked for many companies, big and small, and they all had the arrogance to believe they need their own component libraries, reinventing the wheel out of ego.

My advice: you're not that special, just pick a component library and spend your precious time building actual value.
I've always been pro nuclear. We talk about it a lot now (on hn anyway), but when I was growing up in the UK the greens had such a minor voice I didn't even know their stance on the issue.

The hypothesis of doom that I subscribe to is that it'll cause cascading effects that destroy parts of the existing ecology (this is already happening) and then the same to our food supply faster than we can react to. I don't worry it's going to mass cause temperatures that kill me directly if that's your implication. It'll be social collapse far away from where I live that will spread.

I live in a safe country that gets about 80% of its power from renewables. But we don't build those wind turbines here and we certainly don't mine for their materials, if the supply of stuff goes awry we'll be just as buggered as everywhere else.
Please don't say I'm one of the "rare few" -- that presupposes that there's some kind of broad consensus here, which there absolutely is not.

And the things you're saying have nothing whatsoever to do with "Shirky's principle", whether they are true or false.

I'm not taking any kind of political position on UNRWA.

But what I am saying is that they don't hold any kind of power to change the situation here. They're not any kind of major player in the geopolitical situation. There's not a state actor that has the power to be negotiating over the status of the Palestinians with Netanhayu.

The idea that, if it weren't for UNRWA, there would be no more refugees because they'd all have gone back home or been peacefully resettled elsewhere, is absurd. To suggest that they are the ones creating the sitution -- rather than the actions of Israel, Hamas, and the PA, together with neighboring countries and the US -- is totally at odds with all historical fact.

It's like saying that the Red Cross foments war so that it can have wartime casualties to treat. It makes no sense.
Reminds me of the ending of 'The Masochistic Playpen' (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338429.The_Masochistic_P...), in which the protagonist is forced to re-watch every single day of his life from conception, realizing that at some point if he lives long enough he will get to the point where has to re-watch himself re-watching his entire life, a sort of "squaring" of the tedium.
Uber proves we can replace Taxi management with simple algorithms, that was apparently much easier than replacing the drivers. I hope these bigger models can replace management in more industries, I'd love to have an AI as a manager.
This article is stating the obvious about any software abstraction:

Don't over generalize up front but look at commonly used patterns and create abstractions from there that fit many use cases.

At the same time, there are common patterns that people expect to be there (a button component), and I'm always shocked when design system teams spend tons of money writing their own vs reusing other existing component libraries.

On top of this all: component libraries need to take tons of non functional requirements into account nowadays (SSR compatibility, lazy loading data for paginated tables and how components interact with hybrid sever/client data loaders, offline caching of rendered components in service workers, etc), so not having some really good actual software engineers on the "design system team" can end in total disasters.
First, let me be clear that I absolutely dont condone requirements to create an account, but the complaint coming from Musk is rich considering he now requires an account to use Twitter and his draconian api costs.

I was once onsite at a casino for basically 7 days straight (barring trips off site for breakfast and some dinners) while working on a client project.

Around 12k fatal outcomes have been reported in the EU after vaccination, but it is not certain in all cases that vaccines were the cause.

The vaccine tracking chips come from two Microsoft (-affiliate) patents, one about using chips to track body activity to reward in cryptocurrency, and another about putting a vaccine passport chip in the hands of African immigrants. That vaccines contain tracking chips is a fabricated conspiracy to ridicule and obfuscate.

They can use a headless component library and style it to their liking. I generally agree with you though.

What, I'm not allowed to be an engineer who also has an MBA?

I switched majors from Computer Science to Computer Engineering because engineering was about dealing with real-world constraints so that we could make an actual difference in the real world. I got the MBA because I understood that the "constraints", i.e. the budget for the project, is only meaningful within the context of how much revenue the system brings in, i.e. how do you build systems that are long-term maintainable because they bring in the revenue to pay for salaries for engineers to maintain them.

So yeah, I have an MBA, and I care about long-term maintenance. I care about quality, and I care about delivering on-time and on-budget. I don't see an inherent contradiction between these aims. Half the value of the MBA was in helping me realize how much scope ought to be reduced so that the system can be delivered on-time and on-budget while not compromising on quality of what remains in scope. But more to the point - this only assumes that you have "perfect" engineers doing perfect work to begin with. In reality, your bottleneck is usually the people working on the system. Very few places are swimming in a proverbial ocean of 10x engineers. So engineers who care about quality would do better to focus on the actual bottleneck for quality and build up their peers instead of tearing them down.

I don't think this really has anything to do with YAML; Conda appears to have defined a bespoke semi-DSL in comments rather than encoding it in YAML itself. They could have done this in any configuration language that supports comments. That doesn't make it any less cursed, of course.

(If I'm reading this correctly, they may have their own "YAML" parser entirely -- multiple keys with different values shouldn't be distinctly represent-able in a normal YAML document, at least not after parsing.)
I see this more and more, overly generic team and function names: design system. System engineer. Words like system and design are meaningless, could mean anything. We're all working in a context, so we're all part of a system, everything is a system. None of us are stacking bricks in a predetermined shape, we are all designing.
That extreme dependency on a supporting framework (Obj-C doesn’t even have its own allocator) was a massive weakness though, as has been proven by GNUStep’s stagnation and MS’ abandonment of WinObjC.

Swift has no such issues. It’s weaker without AppKit/UIKit yes, but at least has most of the basics covered. The only real threat is Apple deciding they don’t want cross platform compatibility any more in which case Swift can simply be forked.
Of course it does: just call TCPConn.SetNoDelay(false).

If there's anything we have learned from plastic, it's that if recycling is not economically viable it won't happen. Reducing waste is simply not a potent motivator. If you can get your hands on expired panels for really cheap and still can't make new ones with the materials in them cheaper per energy produced than brand new ones then there's no viability. So much for sustainable energy.

I'm really hoping that this can be done, I hope the recyclers make a killing.

No, they don't hallucinate “all the time”, but LLM “hallucination” is a bad metaphor, as the phenomenon is more like confabulation than hallucination.

Other animals with larger brains might have other bottlenecks preventing them from reaching full potential of their intelligence. Neanderthals might have been smarter than us, but went extinct for reasons not related to intelligence.

I have a cool clock I was going to put up in my apartment, but I decided against it because I sometimes have late night parties and the presence of a clock seems like a buzzkill for many of these same reasons. In fact, I'd even say that having fun and not knowing/caring what time it is go hand-in-hand. And anytime I need to pay close attention to the time is almost certainly a stressful time, not a fun one.

As far as shopping - a sometimes tedious chore - I welcome whatever social engineering they can muster to make it a more automatic experience. Same with casinos. I'm not there to be level-headed and use good judgement. I'm there to be joyfully manipulated.
You read their comment wrong.
Having dealt with standards and regulations in the US the problem isn't so much the regulations as the people enforcing them are adversarial. And they don't care about the costs they are imposing. I've also heard trades in the US behave in adversarial ways towards each other that would get them banned from future work anywhere else.

Tidbit: The biggest driver of cost overruns is delays in construction. Adversarial permitting, trades, and the courts allowing disinterested parties to delay projects drives this in the US.

> There is actually no mechanism to take someone off of UNRWA membership roles! Once a member, always a member, and so are all their kids. Forever.

This is silly.

It's just registration to receive services. You don't need to "take someone off of UNRWA membership roles" -- just stop using the services.

You make it sound like an organization that's trying to sinisterly enroll everyone it can find for nefarious purposes, even their children, with no escape! It's a humanitarian aid organization for goodness sakes. If you don't want to use its services, then just don't.

I mean, if a humanitarian aid organization provided services to people but not to their children, that seems like it would be a pretty big problem, no? I'm baffled how you can think that providing services to children is a bad thing.
No. The C standard says this about longjmp: "if the function containing the invocation of the setjmp macro has terminated execution in the interim [...] the behavior is undefined". So while you can longjmp out of functions, you can't longjmp back into them.

What makes this fascinating to me is, these LLM's were trained on an internet filled with tons of examples of humans asking clarifying questions.

Why doesn't the LLM do this? Why is the "next, most-likely token" never a request for clarification?
"\n" is really just two arbitrary characters right? An actual "newline" is just a single invisible character, but we represent it as "\n" for convenience.

So in json you are simply putting in the magic character sequence: "\n" in place of the real newline character. Not unlike how many compilers will auto translate "\n" sequences you put in strings into the actual newline character.

I believe most json encoders will automatically convert newline characters into the two character sequence, so when you put it all together it goes: character sequence "\n" typed into source file -> compiler converts newline character into actual an actual newline character -> json encoder converts newline character back into "\n" sequence.

With all this in mind, since regex is basically doing the same thing as a compiler, treating "\n" sequences as a search for a newline character, you would need to escape the backslash so it is interpreted literally, so "\\n".

This gets even weirder depending on the tool/language you are doing this in though, like if you are writing out a regex within a string, the regex engine might not need to have any special logic for "\n" since the compiler is already handling it! In which case: "\\n" is an escape for the compiler not the regex engine.

TLDR: You just need to escape it: "\\n"
