(1) In mice.

(2) There's some question about whether cooking mushrooms even resolves the issue.

(3) The effect seems smaller than that of potatoes and other acrylamide carriers, which we know, end-to-end, to be causative of human cancer.

You do you, but mushroom carcinogenicity is not on my behavior-alteration list.

(I don't like raw mushrooms so it's easy for me to say this).
> You have two options: -highly accomplished and highly experienced engineers were actually too stupid (...)

You're making quite clear you are the type of person who is extremely quick to accuse everyone and anyone of being incompetent in the absence of evidence or in spite of evidence.

You do not need to Google too hard to find tons of open-source benchmarks of real world servers showing off performance gains from switching to HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

But here you are, claiming everyone is incompetent and that their work was bad. In spite of all the evidence.

It's clear that you have nothing relevant to say about the topic and no evidence to even suggest your beliefs have a leg to stand on.

How to properly finetune an LLM when you only have text, not formatted Q&A
title says it all, but basically how would did openai, llama, and mistral train on so much text that can't be manually formatted?

how could we finetune them without having to manually and painstakingly format our text into json?
Lemme ask you: if murder were legal do you think we’d be able to build and produce so much? Of course not. It doesn’t matter what the laws are. Reality makes corruption strategically unviable.
Agreed. Ultimately, the most common reason for needing to store a bunch of games is you want a chess database so you can look up a given position.

So probably some kind of tree structure so you can look up games by sequence of moves since opening. And something like zobrist hashing for looking up a given position (regardless of sequence).

Some of these ultra-small encodings would be counterproductive for this purpose.
Wish we have prices like that in Europe. Same Air would be $1050 in my country currently, though that includes VAT which is afaik missing from the Walmart price which is net not gross (tax differs from state to state)

The US seems like extremely expensive for certain products, but also extremely cheaper for other products.
It depends on what you think "rich" is - it changes over time and can mean anything from "middle class" to "filthy rich".

It was very common in the 1800s for children of well-off parents to get educated, but then not be well-off themselves (for any number of reasons, including moving to "New World").
I don't know, I'm not the only one making this bet. Maybe the Humane, or whatever device OpenAI is working on, aren't "It." But there's a chance, a little bit of a chance.

> It’s incredibly unlikely to ever actually happen

Opening up the first party APIs? We might have an alternative app store by the end of the year, in the EU, which I didn't think was likely either. Anything seems to be possible, suddenly.

There's a low possibility that Apple specifically will "solve the summer school scheduling problem," and a high possibility someone else will. If an Android phone lets me do that, "bud," I'm going to stop using an iPhone.
Really? Google doesn’t know your GPS location or what apps you’ve installed? How does Maps and the Play Store work then?
Aren't they already charging the 30% app store tax for the privilege of running software on the device you bought? I doubt that fees going to go up from there.

The LED bulbs are a particular travesty. At least they are better than how we polluted everything with CF bulbs.

Only buy CRI 95+ (99 if you can find them). Not because of the color rendering quality (although that is a great benefit), but because they will tend to have appropriately derated other parts of the circuit, which are the elements that fail. They can do this for that product because at the more upmarket price, they can afford the additional 0.02 in COGS.

As to Nokia phones, well yeah. I understand there is a real market for them now, since they found they are very effective black box flight recorders.
Google/Bing/Yahoo/Yandex/etc search and Meta/Google/AMZ/Linkedin engagement algos seem like fairly clear front runners for world changing ML projects, but very many others come to mind too.
I remember hearing from people in the early days of Go that it was only nice because it hadn't aged. It didn't have the "barnacles" that Python and Java had acquired, but that it surely would after a decade. At the time, Python and Java were about 15 years old (since their 1.0 releases). Well, it's been 12 years and Go is still clean and minimalist. Maybe all of the cruft comes in years 12-15? :shrug:
> is there any safeguard against SIM swaps

There is. Some Russian banks detect when SIM identifier has changed and refuse to send SMS codes to a new SIM card.
IMO the solution is to have the formatter provided by the compiler/CLI/LanguageServer. rustfmt, go fmt, terraform fmt, etc. And then the language authors are in charge of how it's supposed to be formatted too, and they should try to make that formatter 'strict' (IMO) in the sense of not allowing (accepting as input and outputting unchanged) two semantically equivalent styles. Don't leave it to third parties to fight over becoming the de facto style du jour. Don't be python, and certainly not javascript.
> My take - if the US is still the "land of the free" then the government should not be banning citizens access to apps.

That's nonsense when phrased so broadly. I mean, your condition would even include apps that, say, drained the user's bank account without authorization. A twee libertarian might insist on that, but practically it can't work (sort of like arachno-capitalism, the Ununoctium of political ideologies).

> As written, any “website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application” that is “determined by the President to present a significant threat to the National Security of the United States” is covered.

You've omitted the "foreign adversary controlled application" language from your quote, which is an important qualification and the omission is misleading and inflammatory.
Just tried it out - thanks for sharing.

We're a sales tech startup and I've had to look through large CSVs with prospecting information in the past - anything over 10 MB crashes my browser. I use a Mac so I don't have Excel. This looks great for simple data manipulations. I tried out a large CSV I had, and it loaded without a problem.

Quick bug report: The filter interface seems to be slow for me though with the large file.
Also, one feature that would be really helpful would be connecting this to a database and also some way to share my workflow/analysis.

Yes, there's definitely some downsides (which honestly, we didn't realize when we started to build this). For us, it was the lack of a PIVOT statement so I had to make a modified dialect of PRQL that supports PIVOT, then split on the final PRQL into PIVOT and non-PIVOT chunks, and then convert it to chained SQL CTEs. Annoying work for sure.

As a result, I'll be adding support for PIVOTs very soon, either in the main repo or just in a temporary fork.

LOL fair question so story time I guess.

First incident. In late 2005, I'm in Bangkok for business. On the 3rd or 4th night I ventured to an outdoor restaurant, and ate their "specialty" which was raw shrimp, garlic, and crushed chili. Yes, I was an idiot. On the walk back to the hotel I started to feel it. Broke out into a cold sweat, doubled over, and realized my meal was bad news. I managed to get back to the hotel and asked for help. I thought they would call an ambulance but instead they gave me some charcoal, which I had never even heard of before - but they convinced me to take it. I started to feel some relief after 30 minutes or so. I still felt terrible for a day or two, but I could tell it would have been far worse had I not taken it.

Second incident. In 2012 I'm in Madrid on Business, and a colleague and I met up at a somewhat empty restaurant. We split a paella, because we were foreigners and forgot we weren't in Barcelona. We went back to our separate hotels in different parts of town. I had some charcoal with me, and realized I needed to take some. I got back home fine, my colleague went back home and ended up in the emergency room - took her about 10 days to recover.

It's not something I take often (maybe once every two or three years). But I swear by it and always travel with it just in case an adventurous culinary experience ends poorly.
Feels like all of this local LLM stuff is definitely pushing people in the direction of getting new hardware, since nothing like RX 570/580 or other older cards sees support.

On one hand, the hardware nowadays is better and more powerful, but on the other, the initial version of CUDA came out in 2007 and ROCm in 2016. You'd think that compute on GPUs wouldn't require the latest cards.
The newest release, 6.0.2, supports a number of other cards[1] and in general people are able to get a lot more cards to work than are officially supported. My 7900 XT worked on 6.0.0 for instance.

I know you’re joking, but it wouldn’t really be that hard in terms of a lookup for played positions which is what OP asked for - you could have Bitboards for the relevant info so finding a state would be a refined search starting with the busy/occupied Bitboard. Since you’re only storing games that have been played rather than all positions, the size of the index shouldn’t be outrageously large compared with other things already being stored.
Yes, this is a really neat project. I found the halftoning to be not that obvious at all, definitely noticeable compared to, say a typical magazine advertisement but not, say, Lichtenstein-esque. Happy to see folks using the Affinity suite; as someone who likes to own software as well, and isn't using it every day (or month) it makes a lot of sense to me.

Now what I really want to see is taking these separations and making letterpress out of them. Dare I hope for that in Part II?
In some places it’s fairly hard to get power that isn’t generated by renewables. In New Zealand the grid is 80%+ renewable and my supplier is 100% renewable.

Knowing that we don't approach either by attempting to fully solve them, does that change the architecture, or just the difficulty?
Have you seen the competitors?

OS: Windows is a add-riddled and always ignoring your preferences and getting in the way of your work.

Tablet: Android tablet are slow (or soon to be) and not much applications designed for them

Laptop: Windows and never a good mix of great components, perfomance, and weight.

Phone: Only a few do not add uninstallable junk, and these days, they all try to copy the iPhone which is not something I want is I’m trying to move away from the iPhone.

Speaker System: If I want a homepod alternative, I will not be looking to get inside another closed ecosystem. And I’d want lifetime support (airplay has been reversed-engineered). The last time I used Sonos, it wanted me to use its music player or something.
From what I recall (and I may be wrong) the McDs versions are "idiot proofed" in ways that the other restaurant machines aren't.

The complaint is you can't de-idiot proof it, even if you know what you're doing (and some McDs franchises are owned by people who run other restaurants with the other machines).

It's quite possible that McDs requires these idiot-proof ones because the risk of "someone got sick from the ice cream gonorreah machine" is too high.

> The rise of Arm workstations has made this interesting, but Debian 12 on Amd64 is still a heck of a lot closer to Debian 12 on Arm64 than it is to macOS or Windows on anything.

The kind of default/minimum reproducibility for most Nix-based deployments is basically a stronger version of this. It's like 'Debian 12 on AMD64 with all the exact versions and non-arch-specific build flags of all packages exactly pinned is very similar to Debian 12 on ARM64 with all package versions and non-arch-specific build flags pinned to the exact same thing'.

> Sure, some things work the same or close-enough to the same, but even with scripting languages (no aot compiling) that have pretty good cross platform support, there are differences either in features, extensions, or in system level dependencies (i.e. a database server, cache server, etc).

This is worth digging into.

> there are differences either in features, extensions

Nix will guarantee for you that you always get the exact same features and extensions unless it's truly the case that a feature is just not available on some platforms. So it takes care of differences that come from different operating systems and distros using different ./configure flags and so on.

> or in system level dependencies (i.e. a database server, cache server, etc)

Flox and competitors like it all support local process supervision/service management as well as just adding packages to an environment, so you pin down the versions and configuration options of your DB server and cache server in the environment specification as well.

> Sure, some things work the same or close-enough to the same

For things that are genuinely different (e.g., Nix itself has different sandboxing features and support on Linux because those operating systems' respective kernels also differ in their capabilities), you are still going to want to virtualize. If your production environment is NixOS, there are some pretty nice tools available for this. Otherwise you might want to do your final testing via something like Vagrant or Tart or some custom Nix-based tooling.

But if Docker-in-a-VM is good enough reproducibility for your stack, Nix will probably be a little bit better.

I did some searching to answer my own question about what happens in Europe, and found the following [0]:

---------------------------------------

> Is there an MLS or other database of Paris apartments for sale?

The short answer: No.

The fragmented French market can make that a formidable task. The French real estate market does not operate through a Multiple Listing System, or MLS, with agents sharing all the listings of available properties (this is the system in most US markets). Rather, individual agencies only list their own properties. They can’t and won’t show you properties listed elsewhere, though sometimes properties are listed with more than one agency – which makes for even quicker sale, before you have a chance to make your move.

There are also a number of listing sites in France, each with their own property ads, each with their own search capabilities. Some agencies list on all of them, or one of them, or none of them, depending on how they choose to market the individual property. Many properties change hands without ever being publicly listed; many sellers choose not to work with agents at all.

Buyers intent on doing a comprehensive search must contact one agency after another, leaving their contact information and hoping for the best. Should you happen to walk in at the right time, you might be in luck. Good properties sell quickly, competition among buyers is fierce and agencies have no real incentive to maintain a relationship with you as a buyer.

Furthermore, France has the biggest private seller market in Europe: nearly half of the properties change hands without the use of a real estate agent. So even if you had first access to the properties listed in the 3500 real estate agencies in Paris, you would still not see all the properties on the market.

For a fairly good overview of what’s available on the market, there are a handful of major French-language listing sites worth a look. None of the sites are comprehensive, and in many cases they will have the same listings as the others. Since each site charges to list on their site, each real estate brokerage (or selling owner, if they are not using an agency to list their property) is faced with the decision as to which of the many different sites they should list their properties.

---------------------------------------

So as a nation, we're going to have to ask ourselves: is a system like the above preferable to what we have now?

How does this control the private IP address that can be assigned? How does this stop the VM from just grabbing any IP? There isn't even anything IP-shaped in that policy.
I also root for monopoly busting, but worry that the travel and real estate industries are relatively easy sectors to target compared to the real monopoly companies (Meta/Twitter/TikTok, Amazon, Apple's walled garden). The power in those older industries is fairly distributed across a large number of companies and individuals, so coordinated lobbying is more challenging (even for Realtor Association). Shadowy cabals are easier to maintain when fewer people have real power (you don't even need the shadows or the cabals!). Furthermore, customer's interact with them fairly infrequently.

Compare the older industries to TikTok's recently demonstrated ability to shutdown access to congressional representatives on topics other than keeping regulator's and legislator's hands off the company. The power difference is obvious regardless of how you feel about the debate around TikTok.
> and challenge anyone (including the US) on the international stage again.

This is something what US diplomacy wanted to avoid by keeping US Army in Europe, so Europe has no reason to arm itself. Sure USA are paying for it and some of Americans don't like it, but in the long term it is keeping Europe in state of suppressed power, which does not challenge US interests around the world and actually mostly cooperating with USA. Isolationism of USA under Trump and MAGA will weaken this approach and will give chance to EU to emerge as 3rd super power next to USA and China.

It's pretty funny to see this blog post, when I have been running Ollama on my AMD RX 6650 for weeks :D

They have shipped ROCm containers since 0.1.27 (21 days ago). This blog post seems to be published along with the latest release, 0.1.29. I wonder what they actually changed in this release with regards to AMD support.

Also: see this issue[0] that I made where I worked through running Ollama on an AMD card that they don't "officially" support yet. It's just a matter of setting an environment variable.

I’d bet the opposite, personally. I think the risk is an important part of it, and clearly it’s not putting enough people off. There’s probably an, erm, ‘sweet’ spot where there are enough deaths to make it feel spectacularly dangerous, but not so many you think it’s going to happen to _you_.
