Zeroing on allocation is almost free. You can invent microbenchmarks where it hurts, but for most workloads it doesn't matter. You can also invent micro cases where it is beneficial, because the cache is hot after the zeroing.

The always kernel zeros all userspace allocations, and always has.

In a former life, I actually tested this on an x86 webserver workload: the overhead of zeroing on allocation on CPUs that were Ivy Bridge or newer was so small it was literally impossible to measure in high-level web metrics. Sandy Bridge took a 1-2% hit in request throughput as I recall.

Zeroing on free is a different story though, that trashes the cache.
A very good point (I'm not sure if it's relevant to the book in question, as I haven't read it or if you're referring just about the conversation so far). It seems like many people will take a strong claim they are dubious about, and on finding the evidence is sparse, inconclusive, or missing, swing to assuming that statement is false, instead of a more neutral position of "I have no opinion or some reason to think is unlikely, but others think it is unlikely even if poorly supported or unsupported."

This tendency seems to be capitalized on fairly heavily in political media by finding some poorly supported assertion of the other side to criticize, which causes people to assume the opposite is true.

It's less artificial scarcity than production management to ensure consistent high prices. Lost of Canadian agricultural sectors have quotas to keep prices high to ensure domestic supply and are a de facto subsidy to farmers. Dairy, poultry, maple syrup. Plus import controls on these same products.

The system is divisive but it does what it was intended to do - keep Canadian farmers in business by charging domestic consumers more.

My point is that truth and lie are ambiguous. There is nothing in the metaphorical map to distinguish between them. Because a truth and a lie are written the same, they are the same. The model puts them in the same place.

The only difference an LLM can have is what other semantic groups of tokens are associated with the [truth|lie] tokens. If the surrounding [context of a truth] is separate enough from the surrounding [context of a lie], then the connections themselves can be unambiguous enough that the LLM doesn't mix them up. In the average case, there is some semantic/narrative overlap, which allows the [truth|lie] itself to act as a semantic bridge between the [context of truth] and the [context of lie]. Because of that, simply adding more content to a model can create bridges of ambiguity that fundamentally dissolve the model's ability to present unambiguous continuations.
Wow this is great! Thanks so much for the detailed instructions!

Will definitely give this a try later today.
Creating Cognitive Load
I also see the value of the humor added to a game played with a group of friends and don't see it as a negative towards someone with a comparable or even exact condition. I believe that a person can play a game which exaggerates some aspects for gameplay/comedic value and still empathize with serious mental health issues.

As someone that is always curious and worried about mental health would you mind explaining what a typical days experience is like for yourself?

This is the truth, even if people don't like it so you're receiving downvotes for it. Weight gain or loss is calories in vs calories out. Nobody's body is so special that you're defying thermodynamics and creating mass that you didn't intake as food. And that's definitely not changed by sleep apnea.

That said, there is the point that calories ingested doesn't necessarily equal calories absorbed, and sleep apnea could indeed affect that. But if you're relying on that thin margin for the difference between staying at a healthy weight or not, that's a fragile state of affairs, and you could fix your diet more to be more comfortably on the right side of it.

(My own, unscientific, hypothesis: far too many people are indeed unknowingly relying on that. I think a ton of people cram in 3k calories a day while absorbing 2k because there's just too much mass for the body to process, and then when they do cut ingestion to 2k, that doesn't change absorption and that's why they don't lose weight. (Numbers here are approximate.) It's actually pretty amazing how little food the human body actually needs and how little mass 1500 calories is.)
It's similar to llama2.

That's exacerbating the original environmental problem, in addition to thick paper books, filled with filler material just to promote the author's brand, you now want to waste electricity on running an LLM that will give you a the short version? That's.... short sighted.

This should be dealt with by pressuring the publishing industry not to inflate books and fill them with fluff. This could be done by not buying these kind of books, and publicly shaming publishers who engage in this behavior. It's easier in non fiction books since the amount of fluff in fiction books is a more subjective matter.
> The media needs to report, not suppress, this stuff.

If media discards secularism, news becomes worthless. No organization that spans the trust of religious and non-religious audiences would acquiesce to the promotion of an arbitrary religion - I doubt you'd support what you're asking for if it treated Muslim revelations with equal weight. Regardless, showing people at mass on TV will not solve food inequity or goodwill towards mankind (ask me how I know; I grew up in Detroit).

Your heart is in the right place, but compared to the "struggling families" you've described, you might be the least functional of them all. You require the illusory promise of salvation to persist; denying it for you is almost like killing your own ego. You flip-flop between counterintuitive stances based on what the bible or the ecclesiastics say is right. Perhaps your own notion of morality and logic is stunted, because you're dependent on the word of others to interpret reality for you.

In a world full of realized problems and pragmatic failures of the human condition, faith is the least realistic framework for actually fixing our world. Convincing people to reject personal willpower and self-righteousness is how you kill the individual and create a mentally-neutered sycophant.
It's distressing and sad that we've come to expect so little from the trillion-dollar market cap companies to which we are beholden to participate in modernity.

Is this statement always true?

It's possible for some people to feel more alone in groups, especially large groups, than it is for them to feel lonely while reading a book. Maybe one of the main reasons fiction is so appealing to some people is because it does, on a certain level, combat loneliness - some things seem easier to talk about in fiction than in real life.

> The notable exception was the Powell Doctrine in Desert Storm

I dunno, the NATO-Yugoslavia war is both more recent and produced a much clearer and more stable, positive local outcome than the 1991 Iraq War. (And if you argue “but didn't that restart US-Russian geopolitical rivalry, making it worse than Desert Storm,” I would counter that it didn't, Yeltsin designating Putin with his yearning for a return of the USSR’s Eastern European empire as his successor did that, the aftermath of the NATO-Yugoslavia war is just when the West realized it, plus, Desert Storm—well, actually, Desert Shield, but the two are inseparable—by the same token, was, in fact, the proximate trigger for the formation of al-Qaeda, so...)

How to 3D-print a school in a war zone

Another advantage of hobby anything is that you can just do, and reinvent whatever you want. Sure, fast CPUs/MCUs exist now and can do whatever you want. But if you feel like reinventing the wheel just for the sake of it, no one will stop you![1]

I do think some people that remember fondly the user experience of those old machines might be better served by using modern machines (like a raspberry pi or even a standard pc) in a different way instead of trying to use old hardware. That's from the good old Turing machine universality (you can simulate practically any machine you like using newer hardware, if what you're interested in is software). You can even add artificial limitations like PICO-8 or TIC-80 does.

I think there's a general concept here of making 'Operating environments' that are pleasant to work within (or have fun limitations), which I think are more practical than a dedicated Operating System optionally with a dedicated machine. Plus (unless you particularly want to!) you don't need to worry about all the complex parts of operating systems like network stacks, drivers and such.

[1] Maybe we should call that Hobby universality (or immortality?) :P If it's already been made/discovered, you can always make it again just for fun.
>And this is why judges are involved in the process of issuing warrants and grand juries in the process of issuing subpoenas when the police or a prosecutor want to compel the production of evidence of that sort.

That's the issue, court orders aren't free to make and factors like "it is filming a public street" are taken into account. There isn't anything "public" about "viewing a video stored on a server of a large private website". And there enlies the rub.

Also, the story here isn't just "get me a list of 30k people who watched a video", which may be reasonable:

>The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos.

They want ALL your Google activity for a week, because you watched a video that may or may not have been recommended to you by Google itself. that can include schedules, emails, financial transactions, Maps inquiries, chat records, etc. Depends on how much you use google, but Google can power a lot of aspects of life these days.

Even if you aren't on Google you have your IP revealed for simply viewing a video. That feels like an overreach.

------

The second factor is that they barely have a specific suspect. That just think "they saw this video -> they may be money laundering":

> Google to hand over the information as part of an investigation into someone who uses the name "elonmuskwhm" online.

I can't believe that passed a court order. some random handle is selling bitcoin and may have watched this video, so lets get all the data of everyone who watched this tutorial at this time.

>How are the police to do that if they can’t ask anyone for information that might bring innocent people’s names to their attention?

by narrowing it down to more than 30k people. That can be an entire town for some smaller areas

>but it feels to me that we need rules that ensure ‘coming to the attention of the police in the course of an investigation’ is genuinely harmless; not rules that assume it automatically exposes you to harm.

in my mind this is the more idealistic scenario. They've had decades to espouse this sentiment and they aren't even close to doing so.

Also, the issue is that it's not like the government deletes this data after they are done. Quite the contrary. Maybe the US government needs its own GDPR protocol so this won't be pulled up on record down the line.

> The place we spent the most time in the 21st century, Afghanistan, somehow went from an objective of destroying Al Qaeda to ensuring that girls got a good education and had equal rights.

I think in Afghanistan's case, the goal was clear but it was not achievable. A bombing campaign, some boots on the ground, and killing some leaders could not actually achieve the "objective of destroying Al Qaeda," because it would just re-form afterwards. You'd have to change the society so it wouldn't reform, hence "ensuring that girls got a good education and had equal rights."

Though I suppose installing and supporting some brutal warlord as a secular dictator (e.g. a Saddam Hussein) would have achieved the objective too, but the US would have gotten so much condemnation for that I'm sure the option was not on the table.
Absolutely. When I was in the Navy, working 80-100hrs/wk, we were served four meals a day, every six hours, like clockwork. You can substitute sleep with calories for days or weeks at a time. It's terrible for you, I do not recommend it, but it can keep you going.

After reading this I tried click-and-hold on a folder in the bookmark bar in Chrome. Lo and behold, even Chrome doesn't do what you want. I completely agree about a thousand cuts, and I'm often the kind of wild-eyed idealist that wishes that everything would conform to some universal set of gui standards.
I agree. My personal experience is that 80% of the time Opus is better than GPT-4 on coding.

Honestly the only thing that keeps me to sometimes prefer GPT-4 now is the UI. I like being able to Edit my messages, and to Stop the model if I gave it the wrong prompt. Please improve Claude's UI!

The interoperability between LLMs right now is amazing. When I write a program I can quickly test it with each of GPT, Claude and Gemini to see which work better for what I'm doing. Here's to hoping nobody figure out how to create a moat any time soon!

He's a legend! His book made me question my every thought for a while D:
> That these days there are only two serious choices: deploy on a single-node Docker/podman machine, or Kubernetes.

I disagree - there's cloud PaaSes like Fargate or Cloud Run, or when self-managing, a third option which is much less known but quite easier while also being more flexible - HashiCorp Nomad. Disclaimer time: I work at HashiCorp, but I've had this opinion for years before joining - https://atodorov.me/2021/02/27/why-you-should-take-a-look-at... (it's out of date, but the principles still apply, just to a different extent, Nomad having gotten easier). All opinions are my own etc.

Not FOSS anymore, but free and source available, composable, and does a big portion of what Kubernetes does at a fraction of the complexity. I ran it in production for a few years and everything was a breeze, unlike the Kubernetes clusters I was maintaining at the same time. You get all the "basics" of HA, failover, health checks, easy ingress, advanced deployment types, basic secrets storage, etc. without having to write thousands of lines of YAML, and with simple upgrades and close to no maintenance.

> Also, I seem to be an outlier, judging from the rest of the comments, by running on dedicated servers. These days everybody is using one of the clouds and terribly afraid of managing servers. I think it's going to be hard to make DevOps better when everyone is in the "loving" Azure/AWS/GCP embrace: you're basically positioning as their competitor, as the cloud vendor itself is always trying to upsell its customers and reduce friction to as close to zero as possible.

Because running on dedicated servers means you spend time on managing them which could be more productively spent working on whatever your product is. Don't get me wrong, I love that stuff, but it's like when I started my blog - I spent weeks on CI/CD, a nice theme, a fancy static site generator, all sorts of optimisations, choosing a good hosting provider etc. etc. etc.... instead of actually doing what I was supposed to, writing content. When you manage your own servers your costs might even be higher compared to a F/C/P aaS from a cloud provider, especially with free trial year/free tier/startup credits. As long as you keep an eye on not locking yourself in, you could easily migrate most products to self-managed dedicated servers if performance/costs require it.
For coding I've found ChatGPT4 a bit better than Claude 3 Opus because it tends to understand my intentions more and I trust it to make better suggestions for code changes.

I think Claude has better writing style, and it's refreshing not having to fight with the thing to get it to give me full code snippets. I also hate how difficult it is to get the arrow keys to scroll up or down on chatgpt.
