> For one, who wants to do stuff in tensorflow anymore let alone tensorflow-probability.

AutoBNN is a JAX library and has nothing to do technically with TF Probability. It was developed by the TF Probability team.

> DL community prefers pytorch and stats community prefers Stan.

It looks like the JAX ecosystem for stats is growing: NumPyro is based on JAX, PyMC has a JAX backend, https://github.com/blackjax-devs/blackjax has effective samplers, there is https://github.com/jax-ml/bayeux, and now AutoBNN.

> This one seems theoretically more interesting than some others but practically less useful.

Are there other factors why you think AutoBNN is not practically useful, apart from being based on the wrong foundation (which was a mistaken belief of yours)?

>Isn't it good to know how underpaid you actually are relative to your coworkers? If your colleagues are being paid less than you are for the same work, shouldn't they direct their ire at the company rather than you?

You would think that, but imagine you are making less than someone who does less work than you, or is clearly less skilled. Although you might initially blame the company, you may grow to resent your coworker who is getting more for less. Especially if it's a lot more. You can't really start making more demands of them because they make more, or else slack off because you make less.

I think there are situations where secrecy can be good and others where it can be bad. When salaries are public and negotiated by groups, that can lead to other worst-case scenarios. Your company can always decline to pay you more by coming up with a delusionally low pay scale, while claiming the high ground of fairness or some shit. When people can negotiate for more, they can potentially raise the bar gradually. And with the legal protection behind salary disclosure, and websites that make it easy to share your salary, I think it's better to let salaries fluctuate with the market. It might be nigh impossible to demand a raise without switching jobs, but at least the current norm lets employers effectively bid on you.

> Nothing prevents you from using the packaged libraries if you prefer them

Nothing except, in no particular order: 1) only having one version of crates 2) mismatched features 3) new transitive dependencies that can be introduced at any time without any warning 4) only supporting one version of rust 5) packages being noarch and basically glorified distro-wide vendoring—so their build.rs code is still run on your machine at cargo build time

Feasibility of Stealthily Introducing Vulnerabilities in Open-Source [pdf]
Proponents of "millennial cycles" say it's about 1000 years long. They know as much as the 18-year cycle ones.

There's guys predicting the end of the world tomorrow from an alien invasion also, and if it happens they'd have been right, but not any smarter.
> I’m skeptical the efficiency makes up for the price

This might feel intuitively plausible but it really isn't. In the lifetime of a 60W incandescent bulb here (1000 hours) it would use £15 of electricity whereas an LED which produces significantly more light would cost about £2.25 over the same 1000 hours. So even if incandescent bulbs were literally free and the LED lamp costs £10, the LED lamp is a significant saving even if it didn't last longer.

If your LED lamps die much sooner than you expected, consider overheating. Unlike the incandescent which is designed to run hot because it's literally incandescent lighting, it is so incredibly hot that it glows white, LEDs don't like heat. If you have a fixture where the hot air is trapped next to the lamp it will reduce lifespan, consider different fixtures when they're next replaced, or placing lamps where heat would naturally be drawn away. Flaky power can be a problem but (presumably) there isn't much you can do about that, whereas overheating is very much an interior design choice that you can influence.
No, I am saying, with JAX you train on G.P.U., with a G, and your training runs are >2x faster, so your training costs are 2x lower, which matters whether your training spend is $1k or $100M. You're not interested in that? That's ok, but most people are.

probably something to do with the fact we have isolated basically everyone with lockdowns, remote work, addictive social media, then inflated the price of basically everything without raising wages, so people have even more challenges eating healthy, going out to meet new people, and maintain a low stress life.

I've always found that dev's name to tilt me.

Funnily enough, the Chinese name was no reason to investigate. It was a performance issue.

Also, to the discussion that a distribution was targeted. Jia advocated Fedora to upgrade to 5.6.x. Fedora is the precursor for RHEL.

Together with the backdoor not working when LANG not set (USA).

Those are two details suggesting the target was USA. Though either or both could've been part of the deception.
I recently built a similar tool except it’s configured to use some deep learning libraries for the table extraction. I’m excited to integrate unitable which has state of the art performance later this week.

I built this because most of the basic layout detection libraries have terrible performance on anything non trivial. Deep learning is really the long term solution here.

Law isn't code. If someone finds precedent, there will be a way to argue it doesn't cover this specific scenario. They call this conversational process "hypos" in law school, and this fundamental truth is why you never hear of a lawyer being stumped as to how to defend a client.

Ultimately, the CFAA will get it done if it gets that far, armchair lawyering aside.

To pressure test this fully, since this can be caricatured as "we can punish degenerate behavior as needed", which isn't necessarily great: it's also why there's a thin line between a authoritarian puppet judiciary and a fair one.
Read the code of the check again. It mostly checks that the required SYS_* constants are defined to be able to use the syscalls. You can compile this on a system that does not have landlock enabled in the running kernel, but the libc (which imports the kernel system call interface) has to provide the syscall numbers.
Yeah when I read this, I thought the step of tying all the corners seemed more than necessary. You only have to hold two of the corners and pull/shake.
> The other difference is PID 1 can't exit because Linux panics if it does. That's actually an argument for moving functionality out of PID 1.

I actually kinda think that can be an advantage for a service manager. If your service manager crashes an automatic reboot is nice, in a way. I doubt that's why they did it though.
Personally, I've tried some graphical tools (e.g. magit on Emacs and the git tools on JetBrains IDEs), but still prefer CLI as I think those UIs hide too much from the user, specially in more complex repositories (e.g. repos with submodules).

These features (except blame) are more advanced features, that may be hidden in those interfaces. Instead of remember where they are behind some menus or shortcuts, I prefer to remember their CLI as it is faster.
Did rents also go up? I'd expect investment demand to cause a dislocation between rent and price. If it's a supply issue then both will go up.
The evidence I will present (about the aforementioned land) is this:

Similarly, many applications are containerized and the containers are stateless, we can scan the docker images instead. This approach has been quite mature.

Canada's population just grew by a million people in 9 months; that's like 3%+ annualized growth. Add to that specific regions (Alberta just experienced net migration from every province and territory) and I find it hard to believe that anyone can predict "property bubble" with accuracy greater than 20 years resolution. I'm sure that won't stop so pundit from claiming victory when the music stops (or slows) and they have a chair.
It’s almost like our entire society was not designed to support human flourishing, but rather is an elaborate mechanism for extracting the maximum amount of labour in exchange for the least amount of all source support.

Highly likely, China has been estimated to have cyberhacking resources that are 10-50x what the USA has currently. It's not even close. The USA will have to up it's game soon or accept China being able to shut down large swathes of the grid and critical infrastructure at will
Haha. Do rents ever not go up?

Edit: But seriously, it's available housing that matters. We can have a shortage of available housing with an oversupply if investment demand is high enough. That is what the Irish experience demonstrates. Only second homes and investment properties can be underutilised...

This is why I believe that any government serious about tackling an accommodation crisis should start by determining what proportion of homes are being used as a primary residence.
It opens instantly. It shows just the image by default (no toolbars, scroll bars, menu bars, or status bars). I can disable linear interpolation with F3 and show width/height of an image with F2. It zooms with the scroll wheel, pans by dragging, and it lets me go to the next, previous, first, and last image of a directory instantly, and doing that won't resize the window.

I suppose the key difference is that some people want just a read-only image viewer that traverses a directory, while others want a photo viewer, or image metadata editor, or photo management system. I haven't used Windows' default image viewer in ages, but I recall when I used it, rotating an image actually rotated the image, as in it changed the orientation header of JPEG files and rewrote the files. This is why I have trust issues. If even image viewers can't just view the image, how can I possibly trust the software that drives cars, flies planes, or does the banking?

Is this an example of a simple and clean solution via shell script? I have some stylistic doubts:

1. What "exitcode" is set for:

exitcode=1
exit 1

2. I see a lot of "return $?". Why "$?" is returned if by default the shell returns the return value of the last command? Just ti name a few:

lklfuse -o type=ext4 "${loop}" "$mnt"
return $?
...
veracrypt --text --non-interactive -d "$file"
return $?
...
mount "$loop" "$mnt"
return $?

3. Aren't =, != etc. used to compare strings and -eq, -ne, -gt etc. used to compare numbers? I see lot of numbers compared as strings, e.g.:

[ $? = 0 ]
[ $? != 0 ]
[ $exitcode = 0 ]

4. There are lot of "cat <<EOF" blocks without indentation. I understand that this is made because the shell expects "EOF" on the line start, but there is a special syntax designed on purpose for this use case, simply put a dash between << and the token, e.g. "cat <<-EOF".
In this case:

tomb_init() {
system="`uname -s`"
case "$system" in
FreeBSD)
cat <<-EOF
create=posix_create
format=posix_format
map=posix_map
mount=freebsd_mount
close=freebsd_close
EOF

Answering my own question about the other frameworks (one also from Google, BTW): https://exa.ai/search?c=news&q=time%20series%20prediction%20...
Very true. I've had a Facebook account long before 2020.
... there's a huge bias in things that get tested (and how they get tested). easy to test things get tested. there's a lot more developer, committer, maintainer for web stuff. there's a cultural issue, it's hard to improve on old ossified processes/projects, etc.
As a user of open source who doesn’t know enough to make those suggestions, I would be grateful if you would develop and contribute them.
I feel like my version control system is better about highlighting the changed characters than these solid green or red strings.
It's revealed at the end of this article (published today, March 30, 2024) that the subject of the article died in a memory care facility in... 2017.

His son, in a blog post easily Googled using the names in the article, indicates that his father had been in a facility to treat his Alzheimer's (and, we assume, as the article states, free from alcohol) since 2011 - and had likely not had a sip of alcohol since that time, over 12 years ago.

(The article itself indicates that the son has been free from alcohol since hearing about his father's initial hospitalization 13 years ago.)

Alcohol abuse is a real thing, but this is some seriously bad reporting that does not seem to have much to do with the specific state of things in 2024.

>On the other hand, if we can expect lower power costs and higher trust in the output (i.e. needing less human intervention) then it makes sense to start finding places where it can fit into the business and grow over time.

So far, simply throwing more compute at the problem is making models hallucinate less and less. I think this easily explains why all the big players are making such massive investments in hardware, reliability seems to be an almost solved problem.
Funny. I was just saying the same thing to one of my partners just 4 hours ago.

Culpability also must be laid at RedHat's feet for sanctioning the practice of side loading libraries into such a critical service's address space. Their drive to cellularize systems management has overtaken their common sense.

The idea that they could not be bothered to answer the call of the sole maintainer of a library used in such a critical path in his time of need is, well, astonishing.
I'm glad it worked for you but I'd be hesitant to recommend it to people with substance abuse issues. It's also anecdotal on my end but when kratom first started taking off and getting big I knew more than one person who switched from drinking/smoking to taking kratom recreationally before getting addicted to it and having to go through opiate like withdrawals, and another person who got addicted to it and graduated to harder opiates after a few months.

I don't think they would have ever gotten addicted to heroin otherwise, too far out of their comfort zone to just jump into, but the lack of stigma around kratom and way it was marketed online gave them a taste for it and made it easier for them to take a more lax approach to opiates in their own mind.

It's like recommending someone take morphine or codeine to cure themselves of alcohol addiction.
That's an interesting reading of it. Why would it be printed specifically on the door if it didn't have something to do with the door?
>> But Transformers have one core problem. In a transformer, every token can look back at every previous token when making predictions.

> Lately I've been wondering... is this a problem, or a strength?

Exactly. There are lot of use cases where perfect recall is important. And earlier data may be more or less incompressible, such as if an LLM is working on a large table of data.

Maybe we'll end up with different architectures being used for different applications. E.g. simple chat may be OK with an RNN type architecture.

I've also seen people combine Mamba and Transformer layers. Maybe that's a good tradeoff for some other applications.

My problem is I don't care about any of the stuff you mentioned because I can't easily recreate my internal vlan segregation at the six dollar tier, I need to pay up for the 18 dollar a user tier, which is insane pricing for my shop of 70-100 users. Compare to the included fortissl vpn that is provided by my router. I can add users to groups in active directory that are then synced to azuread, which provides saml authentication to the vpn. Users login with their O365 credentials and I can configure it to mimic the already approved vlan segregation easily based on groups provided by O365. This basic stuff should just be there for a corporate solution and it appears to be but for 100 users the bill is 21.6k/year, which is literally 4 times higher than I can justify/ get approved. Yes it has a bunch of other features, but they are irrelevant because the basics aren't there at a price that is doable.
You're right. I didn't see SYS... symbols being actually used, but they are: https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=blob;f=src/xz/sandbox.c;...

This doesn't change my opinion in general - that version should be exposed through a library call and knowing about the specific syscalls shouldn't be needed in xv.

I'm assuming SSH root login is disabled and sudo requires separate authentication to elevate, but yeah, if there's a way to elevate yourself to unconfined root trivially after logging in, this doesn't buy you anything.

Now, sandboxing sudo (in the general case) with SELinux probably isn't possible.
In the most pedantic sense no. Inflation can technically only be created by increasing the money supply artificially. However this has a similar effect venue it applies unneeded artificial pressure to a free market.

This is also happens to be easy way to buy votes, using none of your own money, and has been a tried and true political play for many decades.
