Leaving Everything Behind For Elixir [video]
Recommended: "No Enemy But Time" by Michael Bishop, which won the 1982 Nebula Award for Best Novel.

Wikipedia plot synopsis: "The novel follows the story of a modern black American man who is able to mentally project himself back to pre-human Africa, where he meets (and eventually mates) with humanity's prehistoric ancestors."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Enemy_But_Time

Goodreads plot synopsis: "Joshua Kampa, the illegitimate son of a mute Spanish whore and a black serviceman, has always dreamed of Africa. But his dreams are of an Africa far in the past and are so vivid and in such hallucinatory detail that he is able to question the understanding of eminent palaeontologists. As a result, Joshua is invited to join a most unusual time travel project and is transported millions of years into the past of his dreams."

The bounds checks in Rust are implicit (i.e. part of the std implementation), and get removed by the compiler if they're unnecessary. I think that's a pretty great improvement over the state of things in C.

And if you are convinced you don't need a bounds check and the compiler does not remove it you can explicitly remove the bounds check, provided you mark the access as unsafe. So Rust is a strict improvement over C in this regard.

It does, in the sense that nobody ever wonders why the order is like that, and if they do it takes about one minute to give a correct and nearly complete answer.

There is no natural ordering for sounds, so it's true that the ultimate reason for an alphabetic sequence can't exist. But then, since the concept is ill-founded anyway, that's not what anyone is ever talking about when they talk about the reason for an alphabetic sequence.

It is obvious that any fully original writing system will be ordered in large part arbitrarily. But an explanation is called for when an unoriginal writing system puts its symbols in a strange order. Even where the writing system is autochthonous, but the concept of writing is not, the system is likely to be conventionally ordered, as in the case of the Japanese syllabary, which conforms to the traditional ordering of Sanskrit.

Thaana is overtly strange, as you can see in the wikipedia entry:

> The first nine letters (h–v) are derived from the Arabic numerals, whereas the next nine (m–d) were the local Indic numerals. The remaining letters for loanwords (z–ch) and Arabic transliteration are derived from phonetically similar native consonants by means of diacritics (like nuqta), with the exception of y, which is of unknown origin.

> The order of the Thaana alphabet (ha, shaviyani, noonu, raa, baa, etc.) does not follow the order of other Indic scripts or of the Arabic script.

I think it will just work. And it is not because of excellence of AI in solving customer issues but customers adjusting expectations with AI based customer service.

Looking at my behavior I have adjusted to multiple level of timesheets, leave applications, five tickets for a prod deployment ( it started with one few years back), endless metrics, reporting and so on. Now I am used bagging/checking out goods even at paid club stores like Costco. I don't see how any of these has led to better outcomes for me or for workplace I do. But because Market has spoken it will proceed as planned.
Do not get me started on the gender coding of children’s clothes and accessories. Judging by pictures of me and my little brother in the 80s, and comparing that to the clothes for sale now, manufacturers spent the past 40 years learning how to avoid making anything that would be purchased for a girl being suitable to be handed down to her little brother.
We have been experimenting with the paper(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372834606_ON_NON-IT...).

There is a mathematical proof that binary representation is enough to capture the latent space. And in fact we don't even need to do "training" to get that representation.

The practical application we tried out for this algorithm was to create an alternate space for mpnet embeddings of Wikipedia paragraphs. Using Bit embedding we are able to represent 36 million passages of Wikipedia in 2GB.(https://gpt3experiments.substack.com/p/building-a-vector-dat...)

We need an alternative to Chrome if nothing else to stop the full blown enshittification of the browser. Its more private, it has better extensions and its not treating its users like sources of data. More people should use Firefox there are lots of reasons not to use Chrome now.

It's the perfect time from a price point perspective. I can get a large pizza for the same price as a single large meal at a fast food restaurant. If Wendy's pumps the prices up further it'll be even more advantageous. Yeah, you need to order ahead to keep convenience but these days apps are basically a necessity with fast food places anyway.
I think integration was never really tried. Booklets aren't enough. There has to be some forced distribution of immigrants so that ghettos can't form. Compulsory language and vocation training etc should all have been part of an integration policy.

Interesting, how do you use -0 in the add, then? Is -0+1-1 a 0 or a -0?

> Could the additional -0 carry some pseudo-gradient information

It looks like training was done on fp32 or bf16. Low-bit quantization is approximated with STE during training. I'd expect training itself cause each point to "polarize" towards 1 or -1.

> 2-bit quantizations being proposed

Symmetric (i.e. without 0) exponential values were pretty popular IIRC.

Like with every where else, it's hard to get a sense of what's going on thru media.

eg I live in Seattle. During the BLM / George Flyod related protests, corporate media reported the CHAZ (Capital Hill Autonomous Zone) as an urban war zone. Meanwhile, locals were treating it like a block party, with arts, foods, baby strollers, etc.

While the online political slapfight continues to degrade (self radicalization and calls to violence), ever more people are stepping back (the actual doers) or checked out entirely (apathy).

Alaska Highway Patrol Roadkill Program
In Alaska you can sign up to be put on a rotating list to be notified of, and collect, free meat from highway roadkill.

True, but not sure you will be using Yuzu for that, seems slightly unrelated to the Yuzu witch hunt.
I think you're missing that person's point though. This evolution implied in the thread was:

1. Write "logging" data (observability, whatever)
2. Someone else starts using that to drive behavior
3. Change your logging, because it's just logging right? And stuff breaks.

To state it another way, anything you're emitting, _even internal logging_, is part of your API/contract, and therefore can't be changed carelessly. That problem is the same no matter what technology you use.

Probably, but is it worth the cost? One of the goals behind BitNet and this paper is to find a way to implement LLMs as efficiently in hardware as possible, and foregoing floating point semantics is a big part of it. I'm not sure if there's a way to encode -0 that doesn't throw out half the performance gains.

At least in Finland modern apartment blocks are really the worst, much worse than 100 year old wooden houses. Usually they are built to maximize constructor profits, with bad floorplan that makes that any kind of airflow through the apartment by opening windows impossible. No AC of course, and concrete walls which preserve lots of heat.

In practice it feels like working with three libraries in a trenchcoat. However, as of five years ago it was totally worth it: the killer app for Sage was that it let you describe a problem in SymPy where you have the full power of python for loops, library support, visualization etc; and then solve it with Maxima's more powerful symbolic calculus tools. I'm not up to speed on whether SymPy has caught up to Maxima in terms of being able to solve integrals, differential equations, etc.

> the bill should be doled out according to income

First, income and electricity usage are already correlated for most residential customers -- in general wealthier individuals use more electricity and therefore pay more under either approach. More importantly, making taxpayers subsidize very-high-electricity consuming businesses and manufacturing seems unfair and regressive. (For example, an aluminum smelter may use as much electricity as a large residential neighborhood but pay lower net taxes than that neighborhood.) Third, paying for the actual cost of electricity helps incentivize energy efficiency which incentivizes energy efficiency and has environmental benefits. Finally, if your goal is to prevent rate increases from burdening low-income households then using taxpayer funds to bolster targeted subsidies such as LIHEAP seems like a more direct and cost-effective approach.

> (almost) everyone in the nation should share the cost, not just the customers of a specific utility in a specific geographic area

Why? If we make it easy for utility executives to ask for handouts and grants then who among them would bother with the comparatively harder task of convincing local customers to pay the true costs of producing the service they are using? More generally, asking everyone to collectively subsidize organizations or regions that make poor, short-sighted decisions is a moral hazard that shields utilities from consequences and discourages them from planning responsibly. Sure, a government may need to be prepared to step in to take over a failing utility but that seems like it ought to be a last resort in emergencies, not a standard way of funding predictable business costs.

One of the reasons why the article talks about the unintended consequences of climate engineering.
It might help you to think about levels of abstraction rather than speed of thought.

Learn to walk up and down an abstraction tree of your thoughts.

Quick for me in this context looks like high level conversation without details, so learn to keep things high level, and think in three branches maximum of the first level of that tree.

Also find common context, usually this is where I find conversations get lost, sometimes listening and gathering the other person context is way more important that stress yourself to be quick.

And just be honest, people appreciate that too.

So my "quick" thinking reply to you, are these three branches of a tree that could go wider and deeper but I would start the conversation like this.

- Think about abstraction levels rather than speed, one level deep and three branches wide.

- Listen to gather common context and fill your gaps.

- Be honest

Can we at least acknowledge that most of the side projects did lead to improvements in the browser and web ecosystem? FirefoxOS led to a bunch of focus on memory usage & responsiveness as well as web APIs that provided more parity between web and native apps. LetsEncrypt got a big boost from Mozilla as did Opus and AV1. Rust is in a class of its own. The VPN deal doesn't require that much investment from Mozilla since it's based on Mullvad. The voice & language database is a big boon to the current open source AI training movement, etc.
Your categories are largely correct, but #1 is way bigger than you think and not just about performance (unless it's the performance of being seen owning the car). For example, most pickup trucks are status symbols and lifestyle choices, not purely for function. If they were purely for function most of them would be transit vans.

Apple car would have absolutely been a pickup truck-like status symbol for highly urban people.

If it's difficult enough that the mythbusters failed to make it, doesn't that suggest that this isn't in fact "run of the mill 5th grade science"?
I mean, that contradiction is also in the first two rules. It's a leap year if it's divisible by 4, but not if it's divisible by 100, so what about 200?

Best to describe it as a flowchart

* Is the year divisible by 400? YES -> Leap year

* NO -> Is the year divisible by 100? YES -> Not leap year

* NO -> Is the year divisible by 4? YES -> Leap year

* NO -> Not leap year

Knowing about South Korean work culture and years of cramming required to join it, what is the purpose of bringing kids there?

If a culture claims to be so hard-working, so smart, but fails to construct an environment where people would like to bring new people, it's absolutely normal that it is going to die out together with the carriers of the culture.

Through value tracking. It's actually LLVM that does this, GCC probably does it as well, so in theory explicit bounds checks in regular C code would also be removed by the compiler.

price discrimination can go much further than surge pricing! i wonder if they'll also experiment with special discounts (or exemption from the surge pricing) for people who recently ate at mcdonald's, haven't eaten recently at wendy's, are carrying cheap brands of cellphone, have not recently taken uber, live in a poor neighborhood, or shop at discount stores? and if someone eats at wendy's more than twice a week or habitually orders especially addictive items, you could raise the prices you charge them. you could even disingenuously claim that you're trying to protect your customers' health by preventing them from overeating

here in buenos aires there's apparently a law requiring restaurants to post prices for all their menu items, so in additional to the 'digital menuboards' in all the fast food restaurants, there's always a laser-printer printout in 10-point type on the wall which lists many food items that rarely or never appear on the digital menuboards, such as hamburgers without fries and drinks. so, unless that law goes away, they would have to cloak such price discrimination as discounts, maybe discounts for coming in at off-peak hours ('happy hour', as several people have referred to in this thread—though if alcohol-induced impairment of your consciousness tends to make you happy, i think something is very wrong with the way you're living the rest of your life)

for the most part, privacy is a public good rather than a private one; the benefits to privacy flow to society in general rather than the individual whose privacy is protected. price discrimination is an exception to that general rule, but biometrics make it impossible to preserve your privacy in wendy's; you can't order food there without exposing your voiceprint, your irises, and usually your face
My favorite line lately is: "Fail to prepare? Prepare to fail."

Nothing against failing as both outcomes are good learning scenario, though I think, def favor preparing for the most interesting failure is probably the best outcome.
From the BitNet paper:

"Straight-through estimator. To train our 1-bit model, we employ the straight-through estimator
(STE)[BLC13] to approximate the gradient during backpropagation. This method bypasses the nondifferentiable functions, such as the Sign (Eq. 2) and Clip (Eq. 5) functions, during the backward pass.
STE allows gradients to flow through the network without being affected by these non-differentiable
functions, making it possible to train our quantized model."

Tumbling itself can produce lift. The difference in drag between one side and the other can result in net pressure differences for a moving object. This is the basis of many baseball pitches. Spin a brick fast enough and it might just be able to climb if thrown horizontally.
