Agree. To further complicate the picture, most of London is very flat and lies between -3 and 9m of sea level[1] and we (are extremely lucky to) have a massive tidal river running smack bang through the middle of the city. We already have a massive tidal barrier that protects the city from flooding at high tides [2].

For people who don't understand the problem the tideway addresses, it's not like we just pump sewage into the river, it's that when there is a lot of rain the sewers can flood with runoff and can flood into the river.

If Databricks makes their money off model serving and doesn't care whose model you use, they are incentivized to help the open models be competitive with the closed models they can't serve.
> "On HumanEval, DBRX Instruct even surpasses CodeLLaMA-70B Instruct, a model built explicitly for programming, despite the fact that DBRX Instruct is designed for general-purpose use (70.1% vs. 67.8% on HumanEval as reported by Meta in the CodeLLaMA blog)."

To be fair, they do compare to it in the main body of the blog. It's just probably misleading to compare to CodeLLaMA on non coding benchmarks.

The diminishing returns from model scale means that if your personal computer improves twofold in the same time a datacenter improves fivefold, you may still have lessened the gap in terms of quality.

That doesn't mean you'll be able to run the best model, but I'm relatively optimistic about the gap not growing out of control.

it’s fundamentally unscientific at this point. much of our current science lies in the realm of natural law. so far we haven’t found any laws that govern human behavior. what we know, with considerable certainty, is that behavior can be positively influenced. but at the point of action, nothing we know of compels any specific/predictable behavior. until we have found rigid laws of reasons that apply to both the brute and the civilized, any ‘discoveries’ of psychology are reports of someone’s idiosyncrasies, imho.
> I am curious about this because I see opposing views expressed by different people.

My sample size is me and my immediate friends. I suspect that if you have a resilient multi-cloud deployment, then you'll use it to hunt for a metric you want to hit (speed/price/latency)

However, the engineering cost to get there is pretty high, and almost negates the point of having the cloud (unless you have a scaling requirement where you need 10x at short notice.)

I worked at a large news company, and it was decided that it was cheaper to just pay for the hosted services than pay for the people to run them (think RDS vs home grown DB) RDS is what 2x the cost of a normal instance, but thats still cheaper than the three engineers + oncall to manage a custom deployment and manage the backups and migrations. (along with conway's law of having DBAs)

Still rocking my EPYC 7282 in my home server, which really sits in a sweet spots: 16 Cores, about $700, 120W TDP (because of the reduced memory bandwidth).

Looks like the 7303 fills that same niche in the Milan generation (and should be compatible with any ROME mainboard, possibly after a BIOS update), or if you're building a new system you can get the 32-Core Siena 8324PN for about 130W TDP.

(While it may be silly to look at TDP for a server CPU, it does matter for home servers if you want a regular PC Chassis and not a 1U/2U case with a 12W Delta cooling fan that is audible three cities over. In fact, you can get the 8-Core 80W 8324PN and still get all those nice PCIe lanes to connect NVMe SSDs to, and of course ECC RAM that doesn't require hunting down a specific motherboard and hoping for the best.)
I'm referring to that. If I remember correctly, they said they did that on purpose to reduce their population.

> major national / international journalism orgs, such as The NY Times

Barely.

The NYT's Beijing bureau has maybe 10-11 people total, of which only 4-6 are actually editors and journalists, and half of them are Westerners.

Most of the China related content is made in their HK outpost which itself only has like 13 reporters and editors, of whom almost all are Westerners.

Most of their China sourcing comes from their parntership with the SCMP for printing and publishing the NYT in Mainland China and HK [0], and most of NYT's China and HK staff are concurrently employed by the SCMP.

It's a similar story in their Russia (4-6) and India (4) bureaus.

These numbers are barely enough to report on a small town, let alone federalized countries in the hundreds of millions or even billions

Even the NYT depends on unnamed freelance reporters to source stories. The person who's name is on the byline basically stitched the research the freelancers did for them.

It's the same story for WaPo, CNN, BBC, Guardian, WSJ, etc.

For anything Asia, I prefer reading Japanese, Singaporean, or HK sourced business news as organizations like Nikkei/FT, Straits Times, and SCMP have a massive presence across Asia, and built networks since the 1970s when Japan began it's "Flying Geese" policy.

> The homefeed is ranked specifically for me, so it shows me what it thinks is most important for my work first

How can it really know this? It feels like this could fall in the trap that social media has, where there is no common shared experience because everyone has a unique feed based on opaque rules. Not only does this lead to fractured bubbles, but it's hard to know what you're missing, why, and how to "train" the algorithm to do better.

I agree that chat solutions tend to overwhelm users, but there is a huge advantage to everyone being able to go to a channel and see the same things sorted by time. Does Patchwork still support viewing a feed chronologically?

The issues with this argument is that pedestrians, transit-users, and cyclists also pay the same sales tax. So if the goal is to have drivers take ownership over the costs they produce, we could also consider only levying the sales tax on people who arrived by car - but that's silly since there's no good way to implement that (how do you know if someone arrived in the city by private vehicle?).

The straightforward answer is to add tolls. Another solution I could see working is adding special sales taxes on parking garages in the congestion pricing zone, but then this wouldn't capture tolls on trucks, and make it harder to implement exceptions for low-income drivers or drivers with disabilities.
Interesting that ChatGPT knows of minutes with 61 seconds but it refuses to believe that a minute can have only 59 seconds.
Thinking about this, the government is all over the place. A 16 year old minor can decide for themselves, the government trusts a parent to make the decision for a 14-15 year old, and the government doesn't trust anyone to make the decision for a 13 year old. Either a kid needs to be protected or they don't. If they do, either you trust the parents to make the decision or you don't.

I can't think of a single argument that fits with trusting a parent's choice for a 14 year old that doesn't trust it for a 13 year old, that also ignore's that parent's choice for a 16 year old.

> `blake2s(device-secret, program-binary, user-secret)`

Ok, I think this is still a fairly standard situation. I understand it that the above quoted text represents the device's long term private key? If so...

You can do this:

- device derives a long-term public device key from the long-term private key

- client generates a fresh public/private session keypair

- client and server perform a Diffie-Hellman exchange, resulting in shared_session_key

- client also verifies device's long-term public key is correct (a simple equality check)

At this point the client and server now have a shared_session_key, and you're in standard territory.

Next problems are replay attack prevention and forward secrecy. The two-birds-with-one-stone for that is for each side to:

- generate fresh a ephemeral keypair

- encrypt using the shared_session_key (with a random nonce)

- perform another Diffie-Hellman exchange

This results in a shared_ephemeral_key. This key can now be used to communicate securely, but you'll need to use incrementing integers as nonces for each message in the ephemeral session to prevent replay attacks. None of this needs storage.
None of the problems we've seen lately are things that someone just didnt forsee happening over the course of years.

Yes, defiantly not saying that's not how these work, and I do know that large boats tend to be direct drive. I'm just pointing out that most engines could do this and the limitation is generally how it interfaces with the external components and not as much a function of internal combustion type engines.

For example, a transmission would expect the engine to always run in the same direction, but given correct fuel and ignition timings, it doesn't really matter which way the crankshaft is turning while things are running.

Is there any case where your interpretation makes sense? Would you ever say 0.86 times fewer instead of 0.86 of the size?

If new is 1/7 the size of the old, then 7 * new = old. It takes 7 times of new_count to get the value of old_count. 1/7th of the old_count. 7x fewer seems like a shorthand, but I'm not a native English speaker.

x times != x times fewer

7 times => multiply

7 times fewer => multiply by fraction

I would prefer my car to fly through the air, but that's not what it does.

My point is that LLMs are not magical, they're limited by their architecture and reality. They are not symbolic rule processors, even though they can fake it somewhat convincingly. In order for a symbolic rule processor to produce accurate answers, it must have some form of iteration (or fixed point computation, if you prefer). A finite number of layers imposes a fundamental limit on how far the rules' effects can be propagated, without feeding some state back in and iterating. You can augment or modify an LLM to internally do just that, but then it's a different architecture and most likely no longer trainable in a massively parallel fashion. Asking for a chain of thought gives a weak form of iteration restricted to passing state via the response so far, and apparently that chain of thought is compatible enough with the way the LLM works that it doesn't matter that the training did not explicitly involve that iteration.

In short, demanding accurate answers means moving back in the direction of traditional AI. Which has its own strengths and weaknesses, but has never achieved the level of apparent magic we're seeing from these relatively dumb collections of weights extracted from enormously massive piles of data.

The Secret Formula turned out to be "feed a huge amount of data to a big but dumb model", because the not so dumb (simple) models would take too long to feed the huge amount of data to, and the benefits of model complexity are massively outweighed by the competing benefits of learning big sets of weights from massive data. The trick was to find just the right form of "dumb" (though now it sounds like multiple forms of dumb work ok as long as you have the massive pile of data to feed it, and you don't go so dumb as to lose the attention mechanism).

Same here! I'm in my 50's, so I often have to wake up to pee at anywhere from 3 - 5 AM. Sometimes I go right back to sleep but sometimes not. Then it's up at 6:15 AM to get the kids going for school (I had kids really late.)

When you have a buy back, you have more buyers in the market, which puts upward pressure on price, which increases the likeliness that someone sells (and then the increased selling puts downward pressure on the price).

And I would argue that those who hold didn't actually gain any value from it, unless the stock price was lower than it should've been at the time of the buy back.
Looks interesting. Can it handle asyncapi specs too?

We use boats (npm) to define our openapi and asyncapi specs which uses file based structure to separate definitions for models, paths, params etc into separate files which makes it much more maintainable. Native refs make it super easy to reuse definitions, and you can write custom helpers in js to abstract things like the Page definition in that example.

Having a shared templating language for openapi / asyncapi specs which is ergonomic and can be used by more than just JS devs is a great idea. I'll keep an eye on this project.

Yes. The fact that the MIT license is compatible means that the MIT license allows you to fulfill the terms of the GPL—you can fulfill both at the same time. However, fulfilling the (more permissive) terms of the MIT license does not mean that you have fulfilled the terms of the GPL.

A GPL-non-compatible example would be a Business Source License or something non-free. It’s impossible for you to merge a BSL project and a GPL project, because the GPL would require that the result be usable for any purpose, and the BSL would require that the result is not used in production.
