ahh my first tech job gave me one of these.

You kids complain about always on. This was the late 90's the beeper was so they didn't have to pay for my cell phone. I was making stupid money so...

I grew to hate that fucking thing.

One got dropped down 4 stories in a wire chase.

Another I threw in front of a steam roller on its way to flatten some asphalt. The driver gave me a thumbs up and I pitched it.

I nailed one to a the bar of a dive I hung out in.

I think I "flushed" two... The first one was a mistake (I think the first to die) I brought it back in a plastic baggie. I was told to throw it out.

One out the car window at 80 (I was young and stupid and it was BFE texas... there wasnt a car for miles)

Another in a lake...

At some point they asked me to stop, I did, but it was fun while I could get away with it.
What about another browser or a private window?

Throwing more compute at MPPI controllers has been oddly successful, it'll just get more accurate over time with increasing samples on ever faster hardware.
Thank you for reading through and for your feedback! Excited to try your settings to disable the WAL and other overhead and see if I get even faster inserts.

Also glad to hear an expert say that WAL data isn't really necessary for bulk loading, especially with chunks. I should get through the ~20 days it takes to load data without a power outage haha (no UPS yet :() but it sounds like even in the worst case I can just resume.

> What's an example of a race-based policy that has been or you think can be realistically enacted that has had or should/will have material benefits?

The Equal Employment Opportunity Act is an example. Affirmative Action is another example that I have mixed feelings on, but an example nevertheless. Other examples include things like access to voting, typically at a state level.

> but I'm confused how you think race-based politics would help.

Those were personal interactions meant to show where the underpinnings for where racial identity comes from. I don't think there's a policy that would fix those things.

> If identity politics have been used against out-groups, I'm skeptical that you can fix it by doubling down on identity politics in some "opposite" direction.

It's been the only thing that has worked so far. Slavery didn't stop because people suddenly forgot about identity. But rather because there were people who fought against it. The "opposite direction" doesn't mean being "equally racist", but rather not being racist AND mitigating against leverage created by past racism.

> groups that have been disproportionately disadvantaged by identity politics, as you point out, are also disproportionately advantaged by a focus on class politics,

The problem is that once this association is known the in-group fights these class policies too, even if it would've helped them. Aka, Drained Pool Politics. Welfare is a common example of this. Or even healthcare reform. Public school funding another. And if you're not aware of the underlying reason for this it'll be exceptionally frustrating because it will seem like they're going against their own interest.

Because it shows no remorse. The reason for reduced sentences for juvenile offenders is the idea that they ‘didn’t know any better’. That they can learn and grow and NOT be a menace to society soon.

If they still refuse to take any ownership or show any contrition even after being clearly shown something was a major problem (hence the court case), then why reduce the penalty? Who would it be helping, exactly?

Have you tried a DLP projector with a high-speed color wheel? When I still owned one, the sample-and-hold slide show effect was far less pronounced than it is on any LCD display I've used (assuming the same frame rate).
I don't think that's quite how it worked.

The colour was created by different phosphors on the inside of the screen, there was nothing different about the electron beams. The number and pitch, the resolution, of these different phosphor dots determined the resolution of the screen.

The shadow masking was to prevent the beam for, say, the red phosphors sweeping blue/green subpixels when moving from one pixel to another, since it wasn't practical to turn the beam off and then back on once the steering coils had been changed. Steering was continuous, so without shadowmasks, you would illuminate on the neighbour subpixels you pass on the way.

You could have done it all with a single beam, if you really wanted, but it's not very practical - you'd need to sweep slower since you could only illuminate 1 subpixel at a time, it'd take much longer to to steer, illuminate at the right level, and move to the next with the right beam power selected.

This probably has more to do with the fact that 30 years ago if you brought an electronic device into school it was probably relatively cheap and there was a decent chance your parents didn't even know about it. And either way it wasn't really a necessary part of your existence. Now it's a $1200 phone that is most likely the primary way your parents communicate with you between the time you're out of school (around 2:30 or 3 when I was in, unless there were after school activities) and they return from work.

More the opposite than anything. The SLA parts are isotropic so you have the same properties in every direction and do not have to worry about breaking on the layer lines like in FDM. Formlabs has a couple resins which are very impact resistant or stiff etc, some similar to ABS, glass filled plastics or polypropylene

The resins are also getting cheaper too, It looks like they are using the new Black V5 which costs a third less per liter than Black V4 from their last printer.
Sorry for the late response. I must be misunderstanding your comment. I read your comment as "RAG doesn't pre-compute KV for each document, which is inefficient". With RAG, you convert your text into vectors and then store them in a DB — this is the pre-compute. Then you just need to compute the vector of your query, and search for vector similarity. So it seems to me like RAG doesn't suffer from inefficiency you were saying it suffers from.
Honest question: is 25fps a net positive over 29.97 for 24fps content? No 3:2 pulldown judder/tearing, but speed/pitch are wrong. (Not to mention color differences, necessity of a tint knob, etc etc.) I don't recall having heard it discussed; wouldn't surprise me if some types of content are better on each system or it simply comes down to how relatively much the particular person is bothered by the downsides of each.
tiktokify: A Hackathon Winning Project
Although I was already very familiar with jazz, I wasn't aware of Django and the Gypsy Swing / Swing Manouche.

One day, probably being 16, I discovered it and it changed my experience with music forever.

While my friends fantasized with motorcycles, I was dreaming to attend the Samois Sur Senne festival. This passion drove me to fly to Rome, Paris, Berlin, etc just to see Angelo Debarre or Rosenberg, to fanatically collect records that never made it to the digital era like Waso's, and what not.

For those that weren't exposed yet to it, please, let yourself be tempted. Allow Django's music touch you with its brutal delicacy and self-mocking irony.

Now, after 30 years, I still love it.
Marginalia's Query Parsing and Understanding
Some materials are more replaceable than others. A pine wood fixture can be regrown relatively quickly. Even something like oak based furniture can be replaced in a few hundred years.

Heck, even plastic is pretty replaceable as reducing bio-material into plastic isn't unheard of. (The first plastics were made out of casein from milk).
My takeaway is that this proves what was said on the recent latent.space podcast with David Luan from Adept.

"I think is going to commoditize a lot of the regular LLMs and soon regular multimodal models."

In other words, if you train your own models, you will not get to take advantage of breakthroughs like this that start with open models (like Mistral).

All the advantages are going towards the open models and this is an existential risk for OpenAI and other closed model companies.
> One of the tricks OpenAI uses when fine-tuning models is to use the unadjusted foundation model as a coherency model alongside the data or reward model to be fine-tuned on. Loss is calculated as the sum[0] of both the fine-tuning and coherency loss so that the training process is anchored to something.

Your parent comment (by my reading) implied the H100 "does just fine" when it has 50MB SRAM.

The reason Grok needs multiple racks of chips to serve up models that fit in a single H100 is because Grok chips are SRAM only while the H100 has 80GB of HBM VRAM bolted onto it in addition to SRAM.

There is another alternative that is getting more popular in the US, which are Olipop sodas. They are sweetened with stevia and have only 2-5g of sugar, plus a lot of added fiber.

As someone who very rarely drinks soda of any kind, I find typical Coke or Pepsi products overwhelmingly sweet and feel sick if I actually drink a whole can. I can stomach Olipop though. (No paid endorsement here, I discovered these through my partner. She is a health-obsessed person with a sweet tooth.)
I agree with your sentiment. Every era has had its major challenges, and it's egocentric + myopic to say ours are the most important ever.
No, it means establishing a dominant market position, preferably with some kind of lockin based on a network effect, and then changing your product to transfer value previously given to your customers to your shareholders, because you believe the customers can't or won't now leave you.

As far as schools go, zero tolerance policies have been put in place. The concept of zero tolerance is something that just makes no sense to me. Not every thing that happens in a school needs police involvement, but because the rules/laws that have been put in place removes common sense and power from principals so that everything is now a police matter.

Legislatures have done similar things to judges with mandatory minimums and other draconian small minded knee jerk reaction to look like they are being effective.
I don't carry a cell phone, and stopped using email years ago.

When I do discuss these experiences, most people aren't able to believe me. "How?" is a typical response... which to me seems equally strange a question.

It does make parking difficult ("pay with the app!"); last time I had a court action, the judge required me to sign a document stating I did not use email, because this is "a required piece of information."

Until this year, I handed out my numeric pager as "my phone number," which grateful reduced successful contact [to my chagrin].

I should have checked instead of replying from memory: It's actually footgunB that is refused by the compiler. footgunA is accepted and will even call happily into an overridden implementation from a field initializer in the superclass. That way you can get a method to see a final field null on one call and non-null on the next.
I apologize for falsely claiming that it was Hydra devs who committed Postgres config.

However, I think problem stands: it is your main marketing pitch to compare HydraDB to undertuned PG, it is right on landing page of your project.

> the main 'advantage' of the "tuned" benchmark is the indexes

I am not sure which post you referred to, but unless you or someone else analyzed execution plans for all PG queries in that benchmark and verified that indexes are actually used, it is just speculations without evidence.

Another issue with this comparison is that ClickBench is toy micro-benchmark with just 100M records. Increasing datasize may or may not be beneficial for HydraDB.
Or really anywhere on that page! Looking at the source, I can't see it anywhere other than as part of image URLs and one comment. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to rely on Google's crawlers to locally render a PWA for indexing purposes.

> It is extremely unlikely this is some conspiracy and more likely some failure of the most basic SEO measures.

I wouldn't call myself a Google fan, but this seems like the most likely explanation. The company seems to have an axe to grind with big tech in general and Google in particular [1], so I wonder how much effort they really spent on checking their own systems before crying "DMA violation".

Per VRAM - not much netter, because it still uses all the weights, just not all the time.

I mean - it can also load less weights, but quality seems to degrade quick after offloading more than 20-30% weights.

In other words - this algorithm decouples inference time from VRAM use.

Having said that, I’m curious as well if using effort you can get better results on Q8 cropped to 75% than on Q6.

But it’s still probably a few weeks to get the implementation polished enough to be well tested.
I help moderate a large sub, a country sub. I dare you to just be a mod for one week, the amount of SHIT that gets posted every single fucking day is insane, without mods (good or bad) reddit would be worse than 4chan in its crappier moment.

A disclaimer, I'm super against on how reddit is being managed nowadays, I've been a user since 2010, the golden era, no political bias crap, no stupid woke mods, everyone was happy and content was objectively moderated. Having said that, I can assure you moderation is a necessity.
This is the trouble with 'infinite inflation' which is the economic model in which we exist (most central banks target 2% inflation), you combine this modeling with what that doesn't cover - things like housing, that up many multiples higher than the official inflation rate.

Now many argue "well raises should be higher than inflation" but data continues to show that this isn't the case, as mentioned in the top of the article, for the last 50 years or so, raises have not kept pace with real cost of living increases. I have seen an argument that raises have evened out somewhat to beat the official inflation rate, but this is dubious, because the reported government inflation rate has exclusions to its calculation and doesn't capture the real cost of living increases faced across the US, due to inflation rate calculation exclusions and approaches.

I've long argued we need some kind of deflation in real costs, what that would look like is hard for me to say. I know its complicated, however I think a good place to start is perhaps returning to pre Reagan era economic 'reforms' is a good first step, as I've seen mentioned elsewhere (on HN or otherwise), as so called 'Reaganomics' hasn't really panned out for the average American over the long term.
That is correct.

Now, what would be more interesting to know, but Reddit isn't going to tell us is "How many accounts banned for bot behavior use a custom username versus using the default generated username".

>There seem to be many mods on Reddit who have nothing more rewarding going on in their lives, or else just cherish that small bit of power over others.

Correct. There are powermods who "moderate" hundreds of subreddits. This is not an exaggeration. Hundreds. At least one has/had thousands.

Why do they do this, when they are not paid? When questioned, they invariably say that they "just watch the incoming queue" or something, and the other mods "do all the work". While likely true in the literal sense (again, hundreds), such answers of course completely evade the question.

Remember, "Most of What You Read on the Internet is Written by Insane People" <https://np.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most_...>. This also applies to powermods, assuming they're not being paid on the side to push some ideology (/r/politics being an obvious example).

As you said, losers who crave ruling a petty fiefdom because it's the only thing they can exercise agency over in their lives. And/or are mentally ill.

Quoting another:

>and for each moderator there are 100 sycophants and narcissists lined up to take their place

Most mods know this, which is why so many surrendered and reopened their subreddits during the recent "protest" the moment admins told them that otherwise they would be replaced. /r/formula1's mods forthrightly said as much; those of /r/nba claimed that negotiations had progressed far enough to justify reopening, which the thousands of replies show that the userbase 100% disbelieves.

Even worse, a) /r/nba's top mod made more than 150 comments to six other NBA teams' subreddits during the blackout. b) /r/nba mods posted secret threads—including the Game 5 discussion that they denied from their own users—and made comments during the blackout. When users discovered the threads the mods of course scrubbed the comments, but there is no way for mods to actually delete (as opposed to hiding) posts, so evidence of their hypocritical behavior will live on forever.

Those would really just be identifiers. I think the key property of embeddings is that the dimensions each individually mean/measure something, and therefore the dot product of two embeddings (similarity of direction of the vectors) is a meaningful similarity measure of the things being represented.

The classic example is word embeddings such as word2vec, or GloVE, where due to the embeddings being meaningful in this way, one can see vector relationships such as "man - woman" = "king - queen".
