I'm not sure about structured sparsity, but for the weights sparsity in my experience going to around 50-70% of excluded weights (even with block sparsity - say 4x4) did not cause any noticeable degradation to training & quality at all (original paper on sparsity from LeCun suggests much higher sparsity ratios - like 90% - but for DNNs I didn't find those attainable if accuracy is important)

The block sparsity can really help with saving RAM - because you only need to keep a short array of indexes for the excluded weights. The trouble is the kernel mult functions become complex, so it's a bit of a trade-off between RAM and GPU cycles.
Good thing you're not sensitive.
Yes, the EU immediately stepped in and explained them what the consequences of breaking the law would be, and Apple budged, caved, backed down. Not getting out of this one.
My homelab (or infrastructure if you will) consists of 2 ARM SBCs distributed geographically and connected via a VPN & syncthing. They are fanless, powerful enough (8 cores and 8GB of RAM is plenty for what I do), and handle 90% of the automation my old desktop was doing.

I don't need Proxmox, tons of containers or anything. If I do, I can always throw a N95 into the mix with ample RAM and storage.
It's just pure sexism, an exercise in performative feminism. More absurdly, these people appear to have no idea how the dead researchers they feature actually thought. No archival references or citations to work in the original language. It's really just a marketing funnel that ends with a CTA to join their community. You too can pay for further brainwashing.
The problem is that tourism often appears to be the only industry because it creates very bad conditions for any other business or industry to exist in places where it takes hold. It tends to increase cost of living, and has so high margins that other businesses are hard to compete for space etc. It makes the living conditions hard to unlivable to workers that are not linked to the tourist business, even essential workers like teachers, nurses etc. Maybe in some places they can put more control over it and minimise this impact.

In a country level, it is even worse as it makes a country totally dependent on tourists as an external flow of money, it usually ends up with most services been owned by big capital (local or foreign) in the expense of local businesses and it halts most forms and potentialities of actual development for other industries. Tourism can be some easy money at best, it is very often harmful for any other forms of activities and business in the long run.

Just tried Semantle, which I hadn't heard of before.

I don't want to spoil today's puzzle, but after getting a few hints and giving up to get the answer, I don't see any relation between the hints and the answer.

(The similarity scores are word2vec cosine similarity, and that's fun to see in action, but the results make me think word2vec isn't that good.)

Edit: I tried yesterday's word and that was much better. Today's word might just be word2vec's kryptonite.

That's an understatement. It is blatant and deliberate.
> It is hard to scale because it requires drivers with well above average patience, empathy and a caring personality. It’s not a job for profit focused individuals.

To be glib: that's ridiculous. Offer $1000/ride and I guarantee you'll find a long line of patient, empathic and caring drivers signing up for your service.

It just costs money. Maintaining a wheelchair-capable vehicle and operating rides for wheelchair-bound people is simply more expensive than driving millenials around to their dinner dates. Someone needs to pay for that. Law suits and regulation like those detailed in the linked article are part of the mechanism by which we as a society decide how to do that.
I don't think I could give a concrete count of how many times I've "bought" that game.

My wife lost her account due to ignoring the migration. Then we end up buying it again, and then again on iOS and then again on Android, and then Bedrock for our oldest kid, and then he wanted Java so we bought that version for him, then our youngest wanted to play... etc etc.
You can do a fair amount of this with Postgres using locks out of the box. It’s not super intuitive but I’ve been using just Postgres and locks in production for many years for large task distribution across independent nodes.

I don't know what the difference is between a threat and an attempt but just yesterday a U.S. House panel unanimously approved a bill that could ban it. Today Biden said he'd sign the bill it if it passes.
I think you vastly underestimate the difficulty of performing geometric kernel operations if you think someone could just wing it in Blender. These kernels represent the combined effort of literally generations of engineers solving really difficult edge case scenarios.

Of course for artists, accuracy probably doesn't matter.

What does "organic" even mean in this context?

Of course TikTok tried to get their userbase to protest Congress if Congress was trying to regulate them. That is entirely within their rights, and just about any American platform would have done the same, including distorting the message as much in their favor as possible. That's politics as it's meant to be played.

That would actually be great, because in that case the EU would have ground to impose Google to sell off the Android division (because it'd be a monopoly).

Detailed rationale is in the Swift Evolution proposal (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...)

This also isn’t a problem specific to Swift. Many strongly typed languages run into it.

public class Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,TRest>

Eh, European countries have diversity too. I've worked with religious extremists of all stripes over the years. The idea that the US is somehow unique diverse is one of those deeply mistaken views Americans have about themselves.
It's ironic because I almost never want to message my doctor - there just simply isn't another option.

In the Michigan Medicine system the 3 main message options are: refill a medication, ask a medical question, and ask a billing question. If you select "ask a medical question" the next and final choice is whether you're submitting a question in English or Spanish.

Most often I want to ask a scheduler (because each office/department schedules differently) or a nurse a question, but for that you have to call. Something as simple as scheduling a flu or covid shot can't be done via messaging.

It takes two to tango. 1. The site operator makes choices. 2. The web user makes choices. (The so-called "tech" companies try to remove the likelihood/ability of the web user to make choices.)

As a web user, I choose a browser that has no Javascript engine. Nor does it auto-load resources. Yet I read the full article and saw no popups. The website operator has provided detailed "alt" descriptions for each image.1 The 1.2 MiB statically-compiled browser I'm using does not come from a so-called "tech" company or any of their business partners (Mozilla == Google business partner). As such, no need for uBO.

If one takes a position that no web user should change their choices, then IMHO this detracts from any pleas to website operators to change their choices.

Further, if one argues against web users changing their choices, e.g., a commenter suggests that all web users should always auto-load all resources in a web page and run all Javascript, then this only provides more incentive for website operators to include lots of commercially-oriented garbage in their pages.

Truthfully, there is no need to use AI to avoid popups. There are simpler solutions.

1. If for some reason I want to look at the cartoons I can download each image with a single keystroke and view them without using any Javascript.

To read the "alt" descriptions, text-only, no Javascript, no popups, without a browser:

tnftp -o'|grep -o "alt=\".*&quot;\" class"|sed "s/alt=./@/;s/.\{13\}$//;s/&quot;/\"/g"|tr @ \\n|fmt' \

Create a virtual WebAuthn device using Chrome DevTools, and use that to generate your first code. This will satisfy the "physical passkey" requirement, and unlock the

> I think this could be more about the competency of the hardware team that manages your accelerators rather than the underlying chip.

Google's systems are reliable because of the tens of billions of dollars that Google has invested into developing datacenter hardware, software, and processes over 25 years. Highly-competent teams at smaller and less-mature organizations will always deliver a much worse product.

Another thing to consider is priorities. Google prioritizes reliability. They retire parts that fail repeatedly, even if the failures are relatively infrequent. Smaller and less-sophisticated datacenters keep parts in service even with frequent failures, or don't even monitor failure rates of certain parts. Smaller datacenters buy and use Google's old parts and unreliable parts.

Therefore unreliable machines does not imply anything about the competency of the hardware team.

If the low reliability of the hardware is making your work slow, then how about improving the software so it can tolerate the unreliable hardware, or switching to a more reliable (more expensive) hardware provider?
> You need to push a cursor key because Move was originally intended as an accessibility feature when you couldn't Move a window with the mouse (or needed more precision than your mouse supported) and needed to use the keyboard arrows.

I would say less accessibility, and more the mouse was optional with Windows before 95, so all features needed to be keyboard friendly. I think they became 'required' by spec in 95, but you could still do everything with a keyboard. Mousekeys was included in Win95 and is more of an accessibility feature.
The truth is that _truths are contentious_. AI simply cannot fully convey the discourse around any given topic without angering or neglecting one group or another.

This means that the creators of a given AI will necessarily pick and choose which "reality" it is going to convey.
The problem in Canadian housing is mostly a mix of these factors:

- A slowdown in new housing construction, which has created a supply shortage and increased land values. This is due to a combination of low manpower, developers’ lobbying, and bad regulations.

- A lack of affordable rental housing, which has forced many low-income households to spend more than 30% (even 50%) of their income on rent or become homeless. Moreover, all elected parties, regardless of their political side, will make laws in favor of the owners, because they are the majority of the voters.

- Financialization, which means that housing is seen as an investment rather than just a place to shelter. This has resulted in a lot of investors who buy and raise rent prices. And up until recently, you did not even have to be Canadian or even living in Canada to buy properties, which is insane. I remember on several occasions I had to call the landlords who were outside of Canada and could not even speak English.
Most Canadian land is owned by the crown, which limits the availability and affordability of land for housing development.

- A mismatch between the types of housing available and the needs of the population. Most houses built assume single-family households with the hefty price tag that comes with it. And barely any new houses built are small units for young, singles, seniors, etc. who do not need a big house. They end up living with housemates perpetually

I really like this idea! May I suggest that on mobile, maybe each ranking should be rearranged to sit vertically instead of horizontally.

Right now, the ranking number, upvote/downvote, and item name takes up the same row. This causes a lot of wasted space and awkward reading.

If you switched the horizontal row to column layout on mobile, it'd be way easier to read. Excited to see where this ends up!

Gaia GPS [1] is the one I use. It's got a lot of layers for free including land ownership which properly shows all of my neighbors plots. I use it often when collecting rock specimens and mushrooms to make sure I'm on public land that allows it or to figure out who to seek permission from.

Precisely! This all about market competition which may both spur new technologies and lower prices for consumers.

The entire point of DMA is to make sure platforms can’t use lock in to prevent others from joining the market for digital goods and services.

What terrifies Apple isn’t Fortnite, it’s that Epic will make a *better* AppStore.
> And as for "low political risk," didn't they just get their phone lines jammed with complaints?

Sure, and how many people are going to change their votes on the issue? Are they going to take it more seriously than immigration policy, abortion rights, support for Israel, the actual issue of our trade deficit with China, etc? I sincerely doubt it. It's pure distraction. They can point to it and claim they're taking the Chinese threat seriously.

> IIRC, CIFUS successful forced the Chinese to divest Grindr. I don't see why this divestment would be out of reach.

They invested about $250M, most of which was only a year before they sold it for $600M. They could have fought harder but I doubt they were too upset about that massive, quick profit. TikTok has a lot more at stake -- although who knows, maybe they'll find someone with extremely deep pockets.

Nature very specifically wants to be the venue where the most important and impactful discoveries are first reported, and they tolerate a very high false positive rate to achieve it. Quick, light peer review is part of that process.

We always joked that if you read it in Nature, it was certain to be wrong, but realistically, it meant that the topic was likely an important one with a small number of competitive groups who could all evaluate each other's papers and will loudly complain about every inconsistency or irreproducible detail.
Wow, each ride is taxed $0.90 to hopefully provide taxi companies with wheel chair accessible vehicles so they can perform rides at a loss? The city would be better off forming a non-profit and managing the rides like public transit.
To clarify my question, the article speaks about 10+ years of intense effort to certify F35, which probably means more than just new safety protocols or a mounting mechanism.

Further, it says that F35 is the first nuclear capable Gen 5 fighter ever. If it means what I think it does, neither China nor Russia have figured a way to put nukes on their fifth gen fighters, and those guys are not known for being overly cautious when they are behind in arms race.
It feels like the initial ban decision was driven by some high level exec (probably Phil Schiller)? If it was happened to be reviewed carefully by lawyers and public relations, they cannot really ban Epic so quickly. There are too many uncertainties and if you do something wrong, that puts government relations at huge risk. Typical employees cannot be held accountable for such decisions, not even low tier VP.
> It would be good to know on which listings Amazon is the seller

That's a good idea, it is actually possible to get that information, it's called merchantinfo in the API [1]. I'll consider adding a column for the seller(s).

The heartbeat duration (5s) is not the same as the inactive duration (60s). If a worker has been down for 60 seconds, we reassign to provide some buffer and handle unstable networks. Once someone asks we'll expose these options and make them configurable.

We currently send cancellation signals for individual tasks to workers, but our cancellation signals aren't replayed if they fail on the network. This is an important edge case for us to figure out.

There's not much we can do if the worker ignores that signal. We should probably add some alerting if we see multiple responses on the same task, because that means the worker is ignoring the cancellation signal. This would also be a problem if workloads start blocking the whole thread.
Not the person you are replying too but huge will largely depend how much you pay for electricity. Electricity is very expensive in Europe

In Sydney, Australia running your server just at idle would cost just over AUD $50 a month assuming it is powered by the grid.

For about AUD $400 you could replace it with a 7 or 8 series Intel i7 mini PCI and throw a 10Gbe NIC in it and that thing will cost you AUD $7 a month to run.

It gets tricky though if you want ECC RAM. Most of the cheaper low power systems that are available will take UDIMMs and that becomes prohibitively expensive if you need a decent amount of RAM.
Replace "developer of the operating system" with "curator of the ecosystem of highly affluent, paying customers" and you'll start to understand why Apple thinks they should have a cut. They see themselves as the headhunter, finding paying customers for the developer.

This is an absolutist take.

No-one's saying it takes zero literal effort. Just "Should I be billed by the practice $25-30 for an MA to get my email and say "I have forwarded your question to the provider"?", and then a subsequent $100+ for the provider's response to my question.

Why should that not be part of the intrinsic baseline officework and not a billable service?

Especially when it's a 100% artificial roadblock inserted by the practice? After all, the communication portal in MyChart is "Message My Provider", not "Message An MA To Message My Provider".

>Work on your project one day a week.

I have successfully bootstrapped several online business and absolutely, 100% this.

It'll either fail, stay a side project forever ($1k/mo isn't bad if you only need to put in 30 mins work per week on maintenance!), or reach the point where quitting your job becomes brain-dead obvious (for me, it was when the one day a week side hustle was pulling in 33% of the income as the 50 hour a week day job).

If you already have a decent job, there's no real need to risk everything and eat shit for years so you can have a crack at the big time.

Your idea is either good or bad, and part of business savvy is evaluating the idea without dumping millions of dollars/thousands of hours into a pit.
Uber gonna Uber, but I'm surprised someone in management doesn't realize this is a bad look, read the tea leaves, and buy a few wheelchair taxis and have Uber-employed drivers to handle this in cities with over 100,000 people.
This is Apple's propaganda to try and save face. What happened is the EU stepped in and explained to them what the consequences of breaking the DMA would be.

To me, "organic" means people organising via messaging within the data plane of the platform, exercising their rights to free speech and political organisation.

Can you name a prior instance where a social platform has added custom UX to "contact your congressman" or similar? (Bonus points if it is also about something actually untrue like "the service will be shut down").
Do you think if there are more doctors, they are going to be more willing to provide free services? I don't - doctors want to get paid for their services - insurance companies (in general) don't pay for doctors to respond to emails - having more doctors doesn't solve this problem.

Not saying we don't need more doctors, but seems unrelated to to the problem being discussed.
