The year 2024 has brought the exciting possibility of building your own Large Language Model (LLM) toys to the forefront, making cutting-edge AI technology accessible to enthusiasts far and wide. These DIY projects democratize the creation of AI by allowing individuals to dive hands-on into the world of coding and AI development. This movement is closing the gap between theoretical AI concepts and real-world applications, offering a unique opportunity for anyone interested to create their own AI-driven conversational agents. This guide is your ultimate resource for embarking on this journey, aimed at enhancing your understanding of AI and its everyday implications. Crafting your LLM toy is not just about demystifying artificial intelligence; it's about unlocking a new dimension of interactive and technological discovery.
Not quite. The problem is that the definition is especially poorly defined in ML. I elaborate more here[0]. You are describing emergence, but not what was claimed when LLMs were said to have emergent abilities (the distinction is explained in the article fwiw)

A cool tool to be sure.

However I feel this tool is a crutch for the stupid way browsers handle web pages and shouldn't be necessary in a sane world.

Instead of the bullshit browsers do where they save a page as "blah.html" file + "blah_files" folder they should instead wrap both in folder that can then later be moved/copied as one unit and still benefit from it's subcomponents being easily accessed / picked apart as desired.
We also have a lot of them in Gauteng, South Africa; even though they're classified as an invader species. They can only be in urban areas and aren't allowed to spread. They look really nice but smell like pee.
Because doing this reduces the 2FA into 1FA (i.e. there is no longer a possession factor).
I'm sure $38k of that $40k was the armored car contract, which is insane for such small amounts - less than $500/week.

I'm kind of stunned they didn't have any random entrance employee run a bag down to the bank once a week/month. Send them home an hour early to do it. It's what we used to do in retail, banks have unattended drops for use 24/7.
I expect more from NOAA getting "tonight's" and "tomorrow night's" more clearly communicated on their site using UTC. Not sure that site's graphic uses my browser locale.
We love variance.
I've often felt the same, although I've been unable to describe it as well as you have. My memories feel fuzzy and non-discrete, like there are no threads to pick at. This is one of the reasons, I often struggle at such improptu questions as well, and find it hard to communicate what I feel.

It is a relief to hear that I'm not alone in experiencing this.

Lately, I've been realising that it might be because I'm neurodivergent (as to the exact pathology, I can only guess it's in the spectrum of ADHD). It'd probably explain a lot of things in my life.
That's fine then. From the article linked above, it feels pretty unambiguous in terms of the law. Requiring a credit card makes accessibility to our parks more difficult.
From the second link:

They were smoking crack. By the time this was written, regular RISC platforms were riding an economy of scale and were beating dedicated Lisp hardware, those metrics shown in the article notwithstanding.

In addition: two months to a compiler? Four to a complete chip? All from a team under 15 ppl?

In the 80s I programmed almost exclusively Lisp machines (CADRs, Symbolics and PARC) and the PDP-10 (also a Lisp machine) and even so I knew the market was tiny and not really growing.
No. Even those that hold directly via a transfer agent don’t directly sell. If that court case holds there is no such thing as securities fraud.
While we're talking about places to use 2FA, if you have a watch it might be a good idea to put your 2FA codes there for redundancy.
Yeah, use a freaking password manager. Or ask sites to use Passkeys. Again, this is a solved problem, as others are mentioning.

If there was a place that was impossible to go to for some reason, would it become a sort of “black hole”?

Are there any such black holes on earth? Or are they only theoretical.
Yes! It always makes me smile when the algorithm tells me to watch something from there.
Thanks for writing this, I was wondering how it would be possible to have such a large loss when handling cash.

Do other larger establishments just have a better system by way of scale? For example, I imagine cash is a significant portion of Walmart's transactions. How are they able to pull cash from thousands of locations all over the country and securely deposit it, but a handful of parks can't?

I have little experience with this, but interested in how it works or how it could work better.
I assume when it happens at big sites it’s from a major site design that doesn’t care to keep backward compatibility with old links.

This sounds conceptually difficult: Wouldn't the presence of one-way streets or airport security checkpoints, for example, mean that the travel time from A to B might not be the same as the travel time from B to A?

Stallman's (or Sussman?) thesis back in the 70s dealt with something similar. Basically an "AI system" that solves circuits by transforming them to simpler circuits using heuristics. It even solves BJTs by assuming the state its run and then seeing if the circuit is self consistent.

I used to always go barefoot when bush walking as a kid in qld. Looking out for snakes and spiders (literally) keeps you on your toes.

I remember once bushwalking with a group and there was a sudden torrential rainstorm, and you could see all the little leeches sticking their heads up from the mud. By the time we got back to the van, I was the only one without a single leech on me.

I only ever had issues with cuts etc in town on the bitumen or gravel (but I suppose it could be quite dangerous in some parts of the world).

Once when working in devops I asked my team lead why we didn't just move everything to Heroku, rather than reinventing a bad in-house version of their features.

I was firmly told not to suggest it again unless I wanted to put all of us out of a job.

That seemed ridiculous to me — we had a laundry list of ways we could help the business if we got basic platform stuff off of our plates. But I sure learned something about how incentives affect otherwise-good engineers.

Much as you yourself have down above where the amount of land owned by a company surrounding a nuclear plant is conflated to be the amount of land required by a nuclear plant.

To be clear, I picture a hybrid energy future and can easily link to pictures of sheep grazing under solar panels - I can also link to pictures of large scale solar farms that directly place solar panels on the ground, and others that elevate the panels but have no dual use of the land.

All in all area used is a bit of a side show.
> This is addressed in the README and a comparison is given

The only mention of wget in the README reads thusly:

If compared to saving websites with wget -mpk, this tool
embeds all assets as data URLs and therefore lets browsers
render the saved page exactly the way it was on the
Internet, even when no network connection is available.

This is not the only way to invoke wget in order to download a web page along with its assets. Should the introduction article I referenced above be deemed insufficient, consider this[0] as well.

This is the fear I went back to Authy from Raivo (iirc they didn’t sync back then; besides I have never trusted iCloud sync) and Tofu. I lost access to two accounts that I would have wanted to avoid.

By the way, a few days back Twitter simply decided to stop accepting my 2FA keys. Luckily I was logged-in in another browser as well where I could disable 2FA. And no it didn’t accept backup code either.

So that’s another risk with 2FAs. What I am trying to say is — 2FA synced or not synced are problematic either way.

I am also wary of passkeys! What happens if my Apple (for example) account is disabled or I am locked out of it?

Think about how to apply those ideas to containerized applications.

Consider that such applications can be run in the same way locally, on a server, or in an autoscaled cluster.

Globalization is a contributor and so is technology.

But, at the end of the day, it's down to how companies choose to distrubute the gains created from lower costs and higher productivity. One easy way to see the inequity here is to eliminate workers from the equation and look at the meteoric rise in CEO comp alone. That metric is 1,460% from 1978 to 2021. [0]

Bringing workers back into it (for context), their increase over the same period was just 18.1%. [0]

Another offset to the globalization argument is that unemployment has hit lower levels than during periods of much more equitable compensation priorities, yet wages still remained stagnant. You might say, "well, yeah, but the jobs that were replaced were higher paying", which would be true for some sectors like manufacturing. But, again, these are company decisions, and many other sectors that remained healthy have still seen nothing near the rise in executive comp. Keep in mind that increases in worker skill have also contributed greatly to productivity.

And, this doesn't even get into stock buybacks and other "financial engineering" that redistribute what might've otherwise been used to more fairly compensate workers to investors and other stakeholders instead.

Organized labor was a proven way to ensure gains were distributed more equitably to workers. It's no coincidence that decades of breaking unions coincided with the detachment of their wages from productivity.

Yes, it's a neat thing. I use a node script[1] that wraps the chrome invocation to do CLI driven acceptance testing with a node script that loads the site acceptance tests[2]. I adopted the simple convention to remove all body elements on successful completion, and checking the output string, but I've also considered other methods like embedding a JSON string and parsing it back out.

Thanks for forking and supporting my initial clumsy tool, glad to see someone else found it useful :)
It’s interesting how the same phrase can mean very different things to us depending on whether there is a human or not. It’s completely automatic and is not obvious.

A human bounces the ball: the connotation of play. Something or an animal bounces the ball: mechanical movement. Somehow, it feels like a different action.

In a more drastic version: a human is learning = self-fulfillment, becoming a better person and better member of society, advancement and progress, basic right; machine learning = consuming a dataset to create a black box that can “predict” the next token if you give it one.

If you see “bounces the ball” accompanied by “play” when talking about an animal, it can feel like the intent is to use one version of bouncing in place of another to anthropomorphize an animal (although it’s not clear what would be the alternative for the same mechanical action). I think it can be true that animals play, but someone who doesn’t think so can see it as sensationalizing and misleading public into being taken literally.

In a similar vein, a statement “LLM learns” could seem normal to some, but rub someone else wrong if they think attributing humanness to LLMs is sensationalizing and misappropriating industry term into being taken literally (probably to benefit the big tech).
That's a little over $420 a week. If they need to spend $40k on armored transport and counting, something is wrong with their policies and procedures, not the cash.
I drove from the northeast down to South Carolina to see the 2017 eclipse in the center of totality.

All I can say is ... if you haven't experienced this in your life, go see it. But you must be in the arc of totality, even 99% isn't going to do it. The closer you get to the centerline, the longer totality lasts.

And it's something else. It gets very dark, very quickly. It gets cold, the stars come out, it feels surreal.

It's awe-inspiring.
There is also the matter of getting to the airport, as I planned to take an Uber.

Yes, I could have talked to the front desk at the hotel and had them call a cab, and pay for that with a credit card. And then also do something like that when I got home to get back to my house.

It’s a lot of extra steps and extra expense. Last time I took a cab from the airport it was almost 5x the price of an Uber, and I had to listen to the cab driver talk shit about Uber the whole time.
It's super fun to consider, but one problem with ammonia-based biochemistry is that everything would be so cold. In temperatures that are cold enough to liquefy ammonia you just have a lot less energy going around, and life requires energy to thrive. We can see this principle at work on earth where the tropics have the most biodiversity and the interior of Antarctica is almost totally barren of life. So it seems to me that while an ammonia-based biochemistry might be plausible, it may be a sort of evolutionary dead-end where nothing can progress beyond being simple and microscopic.

Or maybe it can at the bottom of an ocean where the pressures are higher and the ammonia is warmer due to geothermal effects...? but then it has no access to energy from the sun, and it's very hard for us to detect something that lives at the bottom of our sea, let alone an extraterrestrial one
chuckle recall, a paper is given to 3 or 4 reviewers. No need for hierarchies of reviewers; it’s more like a jury; if all the reviewers more or less come to the same conclusion we can have a high confidence that the decision is the correct one.

Under the proposed plan, if one of the reviewers gave a review which was radically different, or otherwise obviously slap-dash job, payment could be withheld and another reviewer commissioned.
Lezer is 5 years old. It's quite clear which won out between Tree-Sitter and Lezer, and it's not Lezer.
They state that the chip was 50% cache memory, so possibly the speedup would come from a simple RISC plus the boost from cache. 1987 was SPARC v7 chips (v8 came out in 1990), which has 110K transistors or so depending on CPU.

However the strategy of "retreat to the high end" rather than producing something in volume might have contributed to the rejection; they had no strategy for a volume system that would have gotten them more desktop / technical workstation sales.
PSA: please don't follow a manual checklist over ssh. At least write an Ansible playbook that does those things repeatably, or even better, script idempotent changes in an .rpm or .deb to install.
I can't be certain because I'm not a lawyer, but I think if you sue the government like this, and you win, the government pays your legal fees. So the government will probably have to pay out, at least in that regard.
> Much as you yourself have down above where the amount of land owned by a company surrounding a nuclear plant is conflated to be the amount of land required by a nuclear plant.

No, they own/control more land, this is specifically the amount used by the nuclear power plant.

“It occupies 9,818 acres (39.73 km2) of the total 11,800 acres (4,800 ha) controlled by the owner.”

The fenced off area patrolled by armed guards isn’t freely available for other uses. Believe me if they could sell off 5,000 acres to build a subdivision the company would happily pocket that money but no the land really is being used.

Although it's a higher SKU, I have a laptop with the AMD 7840U CPU and it's quite fast, even for some light/medium gaming. The 7735U doesn't look too far behind it, for the purposes you listed I think it would feel quite snappy.

The only thing to keep in mind is a 4K OLED screen will be taxing on the battery, so you may not get more than a few hours. But if you're plugged in/docked most of the time it is likely not an issue!
> Code mirror 6 is a box of Legos and you are responsible to build and bundle your own editor from scratch.

Yep. Let me stress that there's absolutely nothing wrong with this if that's what you want to do -- but it's less than optimal for the person who just wants to add a JavaScript file for the editor, with maybe a JS/CSS combo to support syntax highlighting for a specific language. Codemirror 5 was like that, pretty much.

You basically have to set up a whole independent build and packaging system to configure Codemirror 6, and a lot of people just don't want to deal with that.

It's a pity it's the only JavaScript-based editor that works at all reliably on mobile (I would be delighted to be proven wrong about this).

> I don't even care about the eclipse but this is so inconvenient and I'm very frustrated.

If you haven't experienced an eclipse in the arc of totality, and that's where you're already going to be, I would strongly suggest (weather and whatever else permitting) that you drive as close to the centerline as you can, and just park the car and stand there for a few minutes.

It is something everyone should experience if they can.
> If you believe replicability is central to science.

I do believe that, but it doesn’t matter what anybody believes, replicatable experiments and results, which peers can review and agree on, are the soul of science.

Without that it’s not science, it’s just creative writing.

I would like to think that it is quite common. Certainly for guys who provide lacquer/DMM cutting services.

There is an issue with vinyl brokers and certain unnamed plants that advertise "mastering" that consists of running any delivered audio through proprietary software that "fixes" all physically problematic issues that could affect cutting or playback (excessive sibilance, excessive negative stereo correlation etc.). There is minimal listening involved and they can cut almost any audio. All optimised for maximising the factory throughput, not sound quality.

Personally I have a hope that this will become less of an issue in future as vinyl is getting more popular and people little bit more educated.
