I use verilator all the time for open source stuff, but it has a real problem not supporting Xs - I use them to detect uninitialised variables and taken undefined case statements (with full_case) etc allows me to force faults at the same time as giving clues for better synthesis.

I think that FPGA flows are different, because you can test stuff without a tapeout, a lot of debug stuff gets short circuited when you can design something bug and test it on an FPGA in minutes (or in my rather big case 12 hours and then testing on an AWS FPGA instance)

Speculation is very unhelpful, as are uncited claims. It's just not.

FYI: Your assumption is wrong. The language used for instruction in most universities in ECOWAS is either English or French, and mostly English. If you're talking about the research, or anything vaguely like leadership, all people doing this will speak primarily English as the lingua franca.

You can figure that out with by googling this:

And visiting their web pages.

The related problem is that e.g. Nigerian English or Ghanian English isn't the same as British or American, and academic journals do discriminate on this sort of thing, very explicitly.

I'm wondering how those layers will stand up to the environment.. It seems a perfect weak spot for water to collect and try to get in if there are any imperfections and then when the hard frost comes, that water sits in a wedge and becomes ice and starts to push the layers apart, slowly creating hairline fractures for more water to wick into and freeze and expand ..
Please think before you judge. The company behind FMD has single handedly sponsored the largest body of empirical evidence in support of dietary interventions for ameliorating markers of ageing. They did so because they own the patent for their diet formulation. High quality human trials in this area wouldn’t have happened otherwise, because they are extremely expensive to run. We see this problem with other promising interventions that involve for example chemicals whose patent has expired: despite the imperative scientific need, nobody can afford to pay for the human trials.

Besides, the characteristics of the diet formulation are known and can be easily reproduced at home. Overall, this company has made valuable contributions.

In the last 50 years, the whole research industry has been forced by corporate-style management techniques, the financial environment and regulatory controls to become a servant to capitalism. So given the circumstances, this is the best possible outcome.

This meme never gets old.

This appealing fallacy is part of the reason, but way too broad in general (and is also not reflected in the flat design land of today, but even before that almost nothing was really skeumorphically close to reality), so let's try to apply it to this specific case: you usually click on a slider, not drag it. So in this case, there is nothing "physical" on the user's intuition side that corresponds to the slider sliding. But that's exactly my question - what's the point of emphasizing the sliding? And taken your physical connection into account, the UI element should become a button

And if you expect users to slide, then the slider should reflect the speed of your mouse like a physical control commongly would, not that of some random algorithm, no?
OK thats a big number, but we are talking about spreading heavy elements around the atmosphere, some portion of which will end up in the soil, then in us.

Some king's correspondence is very much not the same thing as literary works produced by a writer. That's a completely disingenuous argument. These things document historical fact. They're generally not art.

However adding to an artist's/writer's oeuvre without their consent is no better than changing the works themselves. You might as well be painting over things or change passages willy-nilly.

Additionally our social contract mandates that relatives and other trustees faithfully execute any reasonable last wishes of the deceased. If my sons disrespected my wishes like that, they might as well write "fuck you dad" in my epitaph. Historians years later are bound by no such thing and their insults would mean very little.
That’s a touch exaggerative don’t you think?

reset wouldn’t be used used by millions of people and most of
those who do use wouldn’t be using it regularly either.

reset should be a last resort. If you need to use it then something else has gone wrong and thats what needs to be fixed.

I’m all for modernising our terminal but in this instance we are talking about a last resort command taking 3 seconds longer than needed just in case some of some edge case scenario occurs. So 3 seconds is definitely not harmful.
No human or LLM is too smart alone. Intelligence is a social process intermediated by language.

They said their focus was PII but I imagine Social Learning is also very useful when dealing with copyrighted content too:

- (current level) use your own model to generate a bunch of solutions to a task

- (teacher level) use RAG, web search or a larger model to solve the same task. But always use multiple sources, never drawing from a single copyrighted source example, we want to integrate information.

- (grading & teaching feedback) analyze the issues of your own model and synthesize a training example to fit the issues found - it might lack some facts, or not have some skills

This would be fair use because it studies the shortcomings of the student model compared to the more empowered teacher models. It can also check for regurgitation of the copyrighted content while formulating completely new text to fit the needs of the student.

I prefer to name the method Machine Study rather than Social Learning, but the social part is there. When LLMs get a legitimate way to process copyrighted content it would help their development.

This method will ensure the new model never sees the original copyrighted content, only the teacher vs. student analysis outputs related to that content.
Fucking with past is gruesome.

Breaking back button is infuriating.

Yesterday I stumbled upon something even worse : breaking CTRL+F to replace it by a custom search. I know Google Docs / Drive does this but I tolerate it because classical ctrl+f doesn’t even make sense on their apps but here it was on a forum. I knew what a searched was on the displayed page but no, they forced me to search on the entire hundreds pages of the topic.

The distinction probably helped with management of busy or hung processes which didn't process window messages. Window system internals probably yank the non-client messages from the queue, and do the default processing to make window movement and closing with X button work reliably.
XL Converter – Open source image converter for modern formats (JPEG XL, AVIF)
You most definitely can, the main difference is that only partial ~2% of the parameters get updated during training. Say you start from a model like llama-70B which already knows english and has some world knowledge based on its pretraining dataset. It might not be ideal for drastic domain shifts, such as adapting a model to learn new languages (which might require a new tokenizer and model embeddings) but still might be possible to some extent.

Well... what do you mean by "a stable process" in this context?

Let's try repeating the same example, but now drawing samples from a fixed distribution (in this case, a log-normal distribution):

> data <- exp(rnorm(100))

> sum(as.numeric(data > mean(data)))/length(data)

[1] 0.32

So, again, quite far from a 50/50 split, even though I am assuming a stable/fixed data generation process.

In general, it would help if statistical subjects are not presented in a careless way (i.e., containing things which are obviously not true). I would suggest at least adding an "assuming a symmetrical distribution" (so that at least your claim is approximately correct under the arithmetic average and for bounded variance distributions).

EDIT: If by "a stable process" you mean "a process following a stable distribution"... then, no, it doesn't help.

Here's an example with samples drawn from a Lévy distribution (which is a stable distribution):

> data <- rmutil::rlevy(100)

> sum(as.numeric(data > mean(data)))/length(data)

[1] 0.07

Cost may not be an obstacle, but process is. For some companies, getting approval to do that won't be easy. When services have free tiers, people can try them out as individuals before they go on to champion the case for using that tool at work.

A free trial can also work here, but the really short ones don't work well. It's not reasonable to expect people to devote all their attention to evaluating your service. It may take a few weeks or even a month to rack up just a couple hours of trying something out.

300 million people with some form of color blindness, and for a minority of those it's much worse than others. It's great your vision doesn't affect you most days, I hope you live a happy life.

For me, it's pretty annoying having to screenshot applications every few days, to be able to drag it into a color picker to be able to see what is actually on the screen.

It's pretty annoying being in a Zoom call, in a tense customer call trying to debug something, and then having to screenshot a Grafana dashboard and drag it into a photo editor on the fly to understand what a customer is telling me - or have to divert the already tense conversation to 'sorry can you tell me what I'm looking at, my vision is fucked?'

It's pretty annoying always being that inconvenience-to-others person asking for a link to the google slides, because I can't tell what is being shown on that pie chart.

And I get it, I'm in a minority of minorities here. And it's not like 'wow colorblindness has ruined my life now I can't cook or clean myself!' - so I understand where you are coming from with 'it's not a real disability'

But like, I'm not asking for you to go and construct a concrete pathway up a mountain here.

I'm just asking that maybe when you are quickly adding 'a slider that indicates on/off using nothing other than color' to your shitty web app, that maybe you could just go with a checkbox instead? Or keep the slider and all the colors, but just add `on` and `off` labels to it too? Or add a hover text that says it's 'enabled'? Or at least steal Apple's slider colors instead of coming up with your own low-contrast ones?

And yeah, I get it - we live in a world of 'omg wow I got glasses for christmas and now I can finally see color through my tears again!!!' social media garbage content. I just want to be able to know what a button is going to do when I click it.
Would be cool to build an “LLM@home” project like folding@home or SETI@home (rip), where tons of folks could donate their GPUs and train something huge and FOSS. I don’t know enough about how these models are trained though. Could it be chunked up and distributed in that way, then stitched/merged back together?
Not color choice, but existence of color.

As a doomer who is pro-LLM regulation, let me note that the "people could produce propaganda" folk don't speak for me and that I am actually serious about LLMs posing a danger in the "break out of the datacenter and start making paperclips" way, and that I find it depressing that those folks have become the face of safety. Yes I am serious, yes I know how LLMs work, no I don't agree that means they can't be agentic, no I don't think GPT-4 is dangerous but GPT-5 might be if you give it just the right prompt.

I mostly find the way the opinion presented in this thread by many people exhausting.

You're doing it there too: You're throwing every bad point of every bad UI you ever encountered into a bucket and throw all of that at this article by concluding "Animations in UI are terrible and just bloat everywhere". That's very close to a strawman.

I have worked and AB-tested in UIs for games and such dealing with just that and I would much rather say: Bad UIs are bad, yes. And animations don't help bad UI not being bad. But if you have a good, understandable UI, adding animations smartly - without impeding the user and in subtle fashion - on top of that UI... that can increase the overall aesthetics of the UI a lot and make the UI much more pleasing to use.

Some points that stood out:

- Hierarchical learning will be needed for AGI. The intelligence to decide whether to turn the steering wheel left or right based on visual stimuli is at a different level of abstraction (and requires different input representations) to what's needed to plan and execute a long trip from A to B. Those levels need to be combined somehow and we have little idea how.

- RL is misguided because it tries to do too much with sparse rewards. Representation learning should be done first followed by the RL step once the representations are learned.

- JEPA tries to get an encoder that generates the same representations from masked inputs without needing to have a contrastive loss function. It works better than masked autoencoder which has failed to beat supervised learning at image recognition. V-JEPA is the video version and can be used on get a world model by masking future video frames and adding action pairs, and then predicting those future representations.

The discussion around open source was underwhelming. No mention of any points any detractors make, as if he doesn't even understand what it is he's arguing against.

I'm saying I wouldn't trust or use interoperability. If something/someone is on WhatsApp I'd do it through WhatsApp. Doesn't mean I can't use Signal with all those who use that.
