Nemotron-4 15B large multilingual language model trained on 8T tokens
Nvidia announces Nemotron-4 15B

introduce Nemotron-4 15B, a 15-billion-parameter large multilingual language model trained on 8 trillion text tokens. Nemotron-4 15B demonstrates strong performance when assessed on English, multilingual, and coding tasks: it outperforms all existing similarly-sized open models on 4 out of 7 downstream evaluation areas and achieves competitive performance to the leading open models in the remaining ones. Specifically, Nemotron-4 15B exhibits the best multilingual capabilities of all similarly-sized models, even outperforming models over four times larger and those explicitly specialized for multilingual tasks.
I don't think you absorbed the gist. Santa Clara has NOT caught up.

It's not a trendy suburb. The Cupertino school district (includes some of SJ and Saratoga) is a much bigger draw for young families than a short commute.

Broadly speaking, the further east you go in the Valley, the lower the prices get.
That was the late, and definitely great, R.A. "Bob" Hoover, I am proud to have shared a beer with him at Oshkosh. His Shrike Commander was miss-fueled with jet fuel instead of avgas because it was mistaken for the the larger turboprop model. Rather than blaming the individual refueler, he recognized that there was a systemic problem and developed an engineering solution. He proposed and the industry adopted a mutually incompatible standard of fuel nozzles/receptacles for jet fuel and avgas as a result. You can find some great YouTube material on him, or the film "Flying the Feathered Edge"

The Wrights did use a rudder and "horizontal rudder" on the 1903 Flyer, but they were for some time determined to achieve roll control by warping the wings rather than using control surfaces, and were only forced to adopt ailerons as other pioneers began demonstrating how superior a paradigm that was. So they don't deserve too much credit on that score!
There are tons, the big providers like AWS, GCS, etc are really the only ones who charge ridiculous amounts for bandwidth and everything else.

Those big providers have pretty much normalized high fees and convinced people that's what it costs, the reality is any normal provider like Hetzner for example gives you tons of bandwidth for essentially zero cost included with your servers.
The incidence makes me wonder what percentage of people at Google spend their time in counterproductive ways.

If this is rooted too deeply in Google's culture by now, they might take very long to recover. Like decades long.

Has anybody else here seen how the UIs of Google Adsense and Google Ads have evolved during recent years? They are a mess. Another indicator that something is wrong.

I witnessed firsthand, how SMBs tried to put ads on Google Ads in the latest version and simply gave up. Because they couldn't figure out the interface.

Did Google lose their ability to bang out useful software?
Anecdotally, Spanish cities seem to have really beautiful and well-kept gardens.

> reviewing old entries provides a feeling of history that makes life feel soooo long and so rich.

This doesn't sound right at all. For me, and I suspect for most people, it has the opposite effect. It makes life feel short, fleeting and mundane. Looking back to 2014, I can't believe how quickly the past 10 years has gone. Heck just looking back 4 years, the pandemic years seems to have flown by. It's like a distant memory now.

> but for me the perception of the shortness of life is best fought by reminding yourself that it is not short

So it isn't journaling at all. You are just rationalizing.

Life is precious because it is short and fleeting. And it's why people keep a journal. To keep track of precious time. It's also why parents keep a scrapbook of their kids. Because in a blink of an eye, the kids grow up and leave the nest.

If you truly thought life wasn't short, you wouldn't keep a journal. You'd just live and not keep track of time.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems a little dubious to me that OpenAI could just rely on ToS to prevent direct copying of the source material. Shouldn't there be some onus on them to not spit out portions of stories verbatim? Rather than just blaming it on people for writing 'banned' prompts?
This is just a personal opinion. No offense intended if you disagree.

I started go 6 months a go and while I like the language I hate the team. There's so much emphasis on making everything elegant perfect, organized and clean and the way go is designed just doesn't fit well with that. I feel like I'm working with a giant java program.

Looking at the libraries I feel this is the go culture. Elegance over simplicity seems to be the philosophy and that leads to java like programs rather than c like programs.

I personally liked the language but the ecosystem and the culture around it I'm not particularly a fan of because it's so at odds with the design of the language.

Funnily enough many years back before generics I didn't feel this way about the language. Now I do, so it might be that?

Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer. I'm kind of confused by your comment in a couple ways.

I'm not sure why you're jumping to discussing Redux here - we're a completely separate project from React, and nothing about the parent comment mentioned Redux.

That said, we specifically created and designed RTK to _eliminate_ boilerplate, so I'm not sure what "boilerplate" you're referring to here. Could you give some specific examples? What concerns do you have?
Do you think you'll add local file support in the future? Also, do you have any plans on making the reading of a source parallel? For example, connectorx uses an optional partition column to read chunks of a table concurrently. Cool how it's abstracted.
What would you like in a workflow builder inside a CRM?
We are building a CRM software which converges a lot of tools. Think of your customer support, engineering, sales working out of one unified system, eliminating the need of dozens of tool and tools for stitching tools together.
On this unified system of record, we are building a no code/low code workflow builder(ofcourse it will have external triggers and actions both).
What would you like in this workflow builder?
What is the best and worst in workflow builder(or similar solutions) in tools like Zendesk, SNOW, Jira etc?
I really don't understand why they do this.

They keep making changes that just worsen the user experience:

1. Messing with the "toolbar" so now it changes with every search

2. Removing the view cache

3. Removing pagination

4. AI things

and so on.

(#1 and #3 are the ones that piss me off the most)
It's entirely possible? Mitsubishi makes a bunch of different models, and ours is a cheaper one. Our area rarely gets under 0, so it's understandable why the landlords chose this model (and it's also an older model, for an older apartment). They have other models rated down to -15 or lower.

But even if it's because the defroster stopped working, or it's just an auto-shutoff feature to keep the equipment safe... the end effect is the same: There is no more heat when you most need it, and you'll freeze. We were wrapped up in multiple layers that day and tried to warm the house however we could, but ended up just needing to stay with a friend cuz it was so cold.

In some areas, "two sources of home heating" is mandated by law, but not where I live now. It still seems like good advice, specially if you can do that with two separate fuel sources (like electricity vs natural gas vs propane vs heating oil), in case one infrastructure goes down, as they often do during the worst storms.
They do. They are not quite compatible with the native versions. Sometimes it works fine. Often it does not.

« Apologies that this didn't come through in the initial support reply. »

"Didn't come through" doesn't actually match the user's report of having support explicitly offering 20% and then 5% payment. It sounds like maybe you have a training problem? That seems like one of the important points to speak to.
All those don't use in house tooling for lots of stuff. This is a situation similar to android were some libraries from Google are useless basic implementations. Pointing out that android is widespread does not invalidate the point.

you might be right, you should collect more data points, try this class of jokes out on more people and see how funny they find it, you could call women walking birth canals. It should be easy to formulate this comedy; take a broad category of people based on some immutable quality, like skin color, find the least charitable insult you could possibly imagine, like parasite, and see how funny they find it.
Yes this is cross industry best practices.

Goodhart's law also applies, as in the case of the edoor bolts, Spirit intentionally bypassed safety controls to meet performance metrics.

The Mars Climate Orbiter is another example. While unit conversion was the scapegoat, the real cause of the crash is that when people noticed that there was a problem they were dismissed.

The Andon cord from the Toyota Production System wasn't present due to culture problems.

Same thing with impact scores in software reducing quality and customer value.

If you intentionally or through metrics incentivize cutting corners it will be the cost of quality and safety.

I am glad they called out the culture problem here. This is not something that is fixable under more controls, it requires cultural changes.

would've been fun to see if putting the 15min restriction with a hidden option in the code or similar to remove it would've lead to the same result.

I'm sure many people would've paid because the free version was not advertised.
Am I crazy, or is everyone taking all the wrong lessons from this whole thing? This doesn't really seem like an AI problem, or even a Google problem. Gemini did exactly what Google told it to do, and Google did exactly what prevailing cultural attitudes demanded it do.

All that's happening here, it seems to me, is that this episode is casting a bright light on the fact that the cultural values of (a) inclusive representation, and (b) avoiding "harmful" representations of protected categories, are mutually contradictory. But nobody's even attempting to acknowledge this possibility except the idiot "go woke go broke" crowd, which is not exactly a good faith discussion.

The whole microservices thing is a little crazy.

Someone just looked at what devs came to realize worked well, slapped a name on it and it blew up as a hot thing.

Since then, I've seen so much wrong done in the name of 'microservices'. It shouldn't be some aspirational goal to work with them.

Also, the fact that the word 'micro' is in the name makes the cargo culters split atoms to reach some tiny nirvana. The size isn't the point. The real point is in having the system/component boundaries closely match the problem domain, and that a single group 'maintains' it.
No thanks, I don't periodically eat Velveeta on Wonderbread either, I know what I'm missing and I'm glad it isn't in my life.
Yes, the wings are useless once the air is moving close to the speed of the plane. Thankfully, we have jet engines that help planes move a lot faster than the 100-200 knots that jet streams can reach. They'll still affect the flight but only temporarily.

I am working on file support right now as a destination to begin with. I believe I should get local files as well as S3-compatible sources going by tonight.

Reading the sources in parallel is an interesting idea, I'll definitely take a look at it. ingestr supports incremental loads by a partitioned column, but there's no parallelized partition reading at the moment.

Thanks a lot for your comment!
I think "wire only" means the hook catches while the wheels are still off the deck.

I suppose that hard landing might have, in some ways, replicated the hard slam-down this would produce. Author, is that the case? Was the hard landing judged to have been a decent proxy for the wire-only arrestment?
What, particularly, was egregious about suspending the account of someone who violated their TOS a hundred times over?
It's true, and it often forgets that most other aircraft go through the same teething problems.

As the article skillfully shows, there's a lot of work that goes into seemingly simple things like a hook. Other elements can be really complex to work out. The F-35's integrated power pack[1] was the source of quite a few issues if I recall correctly. But it was developments like that which allowed the plane to keep weight under control such that we now have a supersonic STOVL jet in the F-35B.

It's a pet peeve of mine when commentators say "that's stupid, they should just do <this>!" . Well, if it were so easy...

I get your sentiment regarding the need for new fighter jets. At the very least, some of these engineering developments end up helping commercial applications as well. A good example is the C-5 Galaxy, which went through torturous development. But lead to the development of the TF-39 engine, which was revolutionary in concept. It then became the CF6, which then went on to power a long line of successful airliners.

Real red meat is roughly 85% protein and 15% fat, while fish is about 99% protein. Chicken is somewhere around 95% i think. McD "meat" is really a slurry with probably even higher levels of fat. Nothing unhealthy?

For someone who mostly grew up in Europe during the 70's and 80's, the promises of technology certainly have turned into some kind of reverse fulfilment.

It is frustrating to see how the world increasingly becomes worse in parallel to technology's increasing advances not fulfilling its promise. Simply because the majority of human beings taking advantage of it have their mind still firmly and exclusively rooted within their primitive reptilian brain areas.

I am sorry for the younger generation who didn't grown up in a time before computers and the (now broken) internet, and who won't even be able to understand what old folks like me are referring to, simply because they lack the lived exposure of former times and realities. All those youngsters are inheriting a world increasingly worsening at a scale not possible before.

Death will be an escape and a relieve from this slow descent into the abyss of the current real time dystopia.

This is mostly off-topic I suppose but I recently noticed that Netflix, and Netflix on my TV(WebOS) specifically is absolutely spamming my router with DNS requests sometimes several times a minute, most of them for nrdp-ipv6.prod.ftl.netflix.com. I'm not blocking them btw, so it's not some buggy retry thing going on.

Even if I do a hard reboot of my TV and don't start the app, my TV is still happily resolving away. I'm gonna have to set up a local cache or something just to save on my NextDNS quota.

Edit: I just asked Netflix support about it. Worse than useless, just kept telling me to either try a different internet connection(no idea why), then they told me to take it up with my ISP and immediately closed the chat. I'm gonna wait an hour or so, open another chat, and tell them my ISP said this was purely a Netflix issue, I suppose.

How much of a difference is there between dry land arresting and carrier arresting?
