It was mostly intended as a joke, though I really do have conCERNs about CERN and their funding:results ratio.

A few things that stood out in your rebuttal:

> E=mc2

Isn't this mass-energy equivalence, not a theory about why atoms have mass in the first place? Thought it was called "The God Particle" because it set out to explain "how particles got their mass" - AKA where material reality comes from, not a theory like E=mc2 at all?

> both quarks and electrons are measurable yet have 0 mass

Isn't there a wave:particle duality not just of light but all subatomic particles such that it can't be proven they are particles ("mass") at all but just motion propagation ("energy")?

> proved that the final piece of the Standard Model

Did it really? This theory says that the world is ultimately particles doesn't it?

> it confirmed which theory accurately accounts for the mass of these particles

With the molasses analogy it did that? How do you figure?

Computational costs, yes. You still take the same amount of time for processing the prompt, but each token created through inference costs less computationally than if you were running it through _all_ layers.
But how could you miss entire "dozens of social media videos" on this captivating topic?
All I really know is from my experience interviewing and hiring people. For me, cover letters are incredibly important and I absolutely read them.

The resume/CV gives the "what". What has the applicant done before? What is their skillset? etc. The point of the cover letter is to give the "why". Why is the applicant interested in this position specifically? Does the applicant understand what the company does? What interests or skills do they have that applies to this and that may not be apparent in the CV? That sort of thing. The cover letter is, basically, the applicant's sales pitch.

Cover letters should be tailored for the company and position you're applying to. A "blanket" cover letter isn't likely to contain the information I'm looking for.

For what it's worth, I always spend the time to craft a good cover letter specific to every position I apply to. Maybe it gets ignored, maybe not, but it does no harm and may help. I'll take every possible edge I can get.
> This is a pretty common attitude. That is, "I'm able to pick better workplaces than you are".

Not necessarily. It's "I'm less willing to stay at a bad workplace than you are".

Maybe it was bad when I picked it. Maybe it became bad after I was there for a decade. Maybe it became bad quickly; maybe slowly. Whatever. When I realize that it's become a bad place to work, I'm not "quiet quitting", I'm putting my resume on the street. I'm not desperately taking the first offer - I'm trying to find something better, not just something different - but as soon as I have a good offer, I'm gone.
I think this would probably be the coolest thing in my house. I'd love it.
It should increase quality since those layers can specialize on subsets of the training data. This means that getting better in one domain won't make the model worse in all the others anymore.

We can't really tell what the router does. There have been experiments where the router in the early blocks was compromised, and quality only suffered moderately. In later layers, as the embeddings pick up more semantic information, it matters more and might approach our naive understanding of the term "expert".
"Should be fine" doesn't cut it if you want to base your business on it and have no alternatives.

I read again his argument.

> Keeping all of your application logs and telemetry forever is expensive, and I can't recall a single time when having more than a day's with of history was ever useful in tracking down an operational issue.

That doesn't say don't store any, that says you can get by storing a 24 hour period. And his broader point is that it should be time bound, that storing these metrics indefinitely isn't useful and can be very expensive.

I'm of the mind that a week or two of fast online access is the right amount myself (with offline "cold" storage of logs for a longer period), but the overall premise that storing logs and infrastructure metrics forever is unnecessary and wasteful.
It kind of feels like at least you "should" stick it to something that you expect will last a substantial amount of time, rather then something that is entirely expected to be gutted in, on the scale of how long a tile could practically last, relatively short order. Obviously, I know that The Market says "no", it's a few dollars a tile wholesale!

I remember learning about these in elementary school. We were sitting in assembly in a room called "The Pod". Listening to rules and administrative things. On the list of banned items never to bring to school, along with drugs, guns, and knives, beepers were listed. I wasn't sure what they were, but from the context and too many cartoons, I assumed they were an explosive device that beeped a few times before blowing up!

> IQ highly correlates with social ineptitude

Does it?

Being socially ept requires high intelligence. However people that deeply apply their brains to social situations are often unrecognised as being bright in wider society. Although they may well be highly rewarded. And I suspect the very skilled often hide their skill because it's a hidden weapon in political or business negotiations. It is really hard to see applied IQ and you need to be very trusted for someone to explain their thinking: plus you need to be EQ smart to spot others that are EQ smart (and the +ve side of Dunning-Kruger causes problems too).

I think you are alluding to the stereotype of social ineptitude of geeks or academics. Personally I have found that focusing your IQ too tightly into one narrow discipline is not that smart. Really smart geeks seem to also be highly socially capable: IQ is general intelligence. Some of the smartest people I know left school at 15: you won't have highly academic discussions with them because it usually doesn't interest them but their raw IQ shows up in a bunch of other unobvious ways.

Disclaimer: I'm a geeky slow learner - a redundant disclaimer given I'm making comments on HN.

Edit: given we are on HN, here's a good example of Paul Graham deeply recognising someone as smart and socially epter than himself: https://www.paulgraham.com/jessica.html
It's just a very new market we're all figuring out and more than ever it is hard to understand what lies ahead. I think we barely know what we have for right now. It's understandable this sort of obviously stupid products getting money, just like how a lot of world changing inventions seemed utterly nonsensical at the time of its first development.

This thing is obviously not that though. but that's just my two cents.
Good. Courts should not undermine shareholder consented contracts nor should the company be intimidated out of following through. Any minority shareholder who seriously disagreed with the 2018 compensation plan has had 6 years to trade out of the stock.

Motorola released their two way pager, the Tango in 1995. In 1996, they had an app for the Tango to access the web [1]. You can't make a call with a pager, but nobody makes calls anymore; there's not a lot of difference in capability; although there's a large difference in distribution.

Step #1: Think of cool new invention.

Step #2: Generate CGI images of invention.

Step #3: Promote product on social media.

Step #4: Get as much funding as possible.

Step #5: Create actual proof of concept.

Note that it's not until step #5 that you actually find out if the thing works or not. I'm very skeptical when all they have to show is CGI images...

My guess is that the reason for putting syscall latency high is that it should be easy to fix. Cardinality tracking is a hard problem, but running a loop on install that measures the cost of a couple dozen syscalls really could be done automatically.

I understand what you're saying but respectfully, that is not what the person I am replying to said:

> wisely chooses his employers to not end-up in such environments
> It is certainly possible that the plans are similar, and that improvements to the execution engine are being measured. The join order benchmark was designed to test optimizer quality.

I don't think that it's possible to test optimizer quality in isolation -- not really, not if it's to be in any way practical. Many (most?) individual improvements to the optimizer are hopelessly intertwined with executor enhancements. This is usually fairly obvious, because the same commit changes both the optimizer and the executor together. Sometimes it's much less obvious, though, because its more a case of the optimizer and executor coevolving.

It's probably still the case that a lot of the improvements seen here are pure executor enhancements, but I can't say that I'm very confident about that. (As the main person behind those B-Tree IO savings you might expect me to have more confidence than that, but I find it horribly difficult to tease these issues apart while keeping the discussion high level/relevant.)

Taxing people for having access to something is like a restaurateur taking a beggar to court, accusing him of smelling his cooking outside the inn, without paying.

That is the subject of a legendary Japanese story about judge Ōoka Tadasuke, pretty well known in Europe, and something Swedish children probably know.

Ōoka hears the case, and then rules that the jingling sound of the beggar's coins is enough compensation for the "stolen" smell.

(Ōoka was a real historic figure; the story may be apocryphal.)
Just 10 years ago, bi-pedal humanoid robots could barely walk untethered. If they could, like the Honda robot - even then they had limited mobility. So this is quite the progress. But yeah, it will be interesting to see if they can do mundane chores that require very little effort by humans.

It's not the proximate cause, but that doesn't mean it is in no way causative.

Yes, it can often be most efficient to address root causes.
Reading this article and your comment makes one realize how weird it is that a company like TikTok can get a full force of US government against us but for a company under their own jurisdiction we still can't get a simple answer of whether WhatsApp is actually using "end-to-end" encryption as it's claiming and not selling any data of it's users?

Almost :) the model chooses experts in every block. For a typical 7B with 8 experts there will be 8^32=2^96 paths through the whole model.
Yes, absolutely agree. Games being art means that it's about the artists who create the art. When companies treat the teams like any other software project it messes with the talent that produced the success in the first place. It would be like music labels changing the team composition of bands after their first album.

These days you need absolutely every edge. But do taylor it to the specific job application, and keep it short: nobody likes wasting time reading about irrelevant stuff.

Yeah I know, these days you are sending out about 100 applications a day, and tailoring a resume and a cover letter for each one is tedious. But unless the filters see the keywords in your resume, and unless your cover letter shows how your skills are just a perfect match to the job, you are sending those applications in vain.

> Some schools, like Cornell University and MIT, have created colleges of computing which allows students to remain hyper-focused on the field of computer science without having to take courses outside of these colleges.

News flash, this has been A Thing for over 20 years. I remember being distinctly nonplused showing up to my freshman orientation pre-9/11 as a prospective aerospace engineering student at a Big Ten university. The staff essentially went "don't worry about your general education electives; we have them all picked out for you already." They basically took engineering courses and shoe-horned them into what were supposed to be the "broadening" courses in the degree program.

The key thing is AI models are services not products. The real world changes, so you have to change your model. Same goes for new training data (examples, yes/no labels, feedback from production use), updating biases (compliance, changing societal mores). And running models in a highly-available way is also expertise. Not every company wants to be in the ML-ops business.
QM and GR look like two equally fundamental views on reality: GR is a spatial representation of energy distribution, while QM is a sort of frequency representation of the same energy. QM feels like the Fourier transform of GR.

I suspect that another mental roadblock that prevents further progress is how we see time: a straight arrow slightly bended by local gravity. It's quite possible that a proton naturally exists in 3-dimensional time that on average appears 1-dimensional to us.

beating MKL for <100x100 is pretty doable. the BLAS framework has a decent amount of inherent overhead, so just exposing a better API (e.g. one that specifies the array types and sizes well) makes it pretty easy to improve things. For big sizes though, MKL is incredibly good.
