Yeah, fair; I guess what I was getting at is that kids shouldn't do stuff like that unsupervised, especially really young kids. If it's just politely interacting with a singer, that's fine, but if the conversation gets too bad that can shut it down.
It gave me the code (twice) and then denied that it’s the code. Wtf
Consider the situation from your prospects' perspective: most likely your outreach is being lost in a sea of SPAM.

I am not a doctor, but my university email was somehow put on a list of medical professionals.

So now my university email is barraged with all sorts of SPAM targeting medical professionals. It's impossible to unsubscribe/opt out. (I've tried, but I keep getting added to new lists. It's like the original list keeps reselling my email address.) I'm sure it's much worse for an actual medical professional.

I'm assuming you're not calling (Even with calls, I personally don't answer calls from unknown numbers due to the SPAM calls. You need to be leave a text if it is important, or be very persistent.)
Seems OK to me and I would be fine with my kids doing the same. Risk for email is very low, especially when the child seeks out an adult, opposed to the other way around.

Ironically, my elderly father does the same thing today! He cold emails ivy league professors and writers from the WSJ, and I'm always surprised on how engaged they get with corresponding. They send preprints, lab data, and all kinds of followup.
I'll wait for Advanced Platforms and Devices second edition.
If there were really only one electron, somebody in the universe would have broken it by now. Or maybe there is a great filter prohibiting any intelligence capable of poking too hard.
What's the reason for the explosion of GGUF model uploads on Huggingface?

https://huggingface.co/models?sort=trending&search=llama-3

Sounds like quite the duplication of the model conversion.
Few months ago it was TheBloke that did reliable model uploads. Nowadays, it's more straightforward to use https://ollama.com/library/llama3 as source to save time on searching through HF.
Nah, that's just entropy.

Making UIs progressively worse beyond levels you though imaginable, like Reddit or GNOME -- that's art.
I wish it could store the original audio with it. I have this problem too.
I don't know how they think they are going to get the required number of GPU's through export controls.
> While a "normal" startup is focused on growing! growing! growing! a small company should instead think like a physical restaurant:

in tech you still can be focused on users/customers/revenue grows but not headcount/process complexity grows, since you are not limited by number of tables like in restaurant.
I suppose I'm one of today's lucky ten thousand. Join any time, the only requirement is learning something new every day!

> some sort of ideological signpost for a certain group of people.

That feels about as laden and insinuating as the formerly religious term from above. Do you think it's not okay to state that a method of creating works may not be used when one believes it to be (*checks the reasons given in the article*) potentially illegal under copyright, unethical in various ways (not sure how to summarize that), as well as exceedingly difficult to get quality output from? One of those reasons seem to me like it would be enough to use as grounds, with the only potentially subjective one being the ethics which would leave two other reasons

I don't have a strong opinion on the ban, in case it seems that way. The reasons make sense to me so while I'm not opposed either, I'm also not a fan of selective enforcement that this runs a risk of, and the world moves on (progress is hard to halt). Perhaps there's an "AI" tool that can be ethical and free of copyright claims, and then the resulting work can be judged by its own merit to resolve the quality concern. So I don't really have a solid opinion either way, it just doesn't seem bad to me to make a statement for what one believes to be right

Edit: perhaps I should bring this back to the original question. Is this virtue signaling if (per my understanding) it is genuine? I've scarcely known open source people (Gentoo isn't corporate, afaik) to have ulterior motives so, to me, the claim feels a bit... negative towards a group trying to do good, I guess?
I faced latency challenges on llama2. So I haven’t used it.

Usually OpenAI response is within 2 seconds, but llama2 takes 20+ seonds for the same.

How are they tackling the performance?
People worried the same thing when keyboards and calculators came out. There it turned out there is a balance between doing everything manually all the time and having a working understanding of how things work that is better. Always doing everything manually or always doing everything automatically were both bad answers but understanding how things work and having played with them while having them automatically calculated for you was a very efficient balance. I suspect such a balance still exists even as AI continues to get significantly better.
Making a rule that is difficult to enforce isn't virtue signalling at all. It's adding a rule that is expected to be adhered to just like the other rules. It's useful to say outright what the expectations and requirements of contributions are.

Actual "virtue signalling" is espousing a position that you don't really believe in because you think it makes you look good.
But with generated code what you end up with is still code, that can be edited by whoever needs. If AMD stopped maintaining their drivers then people would be maintaining the generated code, it wouldn't be a nice situation but it would work, whereas model weights are akin to the binary blobs you get in the Android world, binary blobs that nobody call open-source…
I have a large folder with stuff. It took over 30 seconds to open that folder because of windows defender. Then it would work fine for a bit, but that didn't last. I had to start excluding large folders from windows defender to actually use the computer.
BTW, greetings from Kyiv, Ukraine, country now at war, and city, whole build on hills and over hundred years spent to build drainage system under hills so last decades slips are very rare.
Did you even read the article you point to? It looks like you just cherry picked a sentence that says what you want to hear.

The passage that you highlight does not say that there is a gap not explained by socio-economical status, it says "it is not ONLY socio-economical". It does not say there is no biases in the the test construction, it says "there is no OBVIOUS biases". And it ends up with "At present, no one knows". It was in 1996. Since then, more studies have been done, based on a black people sample that sees its socio-economical status evolving, and the picture became clearer, showing that what the authors did not know in 1996 are now understood, and it turns out it's mainly bias and socio-economical status.

So, yes, in 1996, believing in "Whites are smarter than Blacks" was quackery, the same way that few months ago, falling for the LK-99 superconductor craze was falling for quackery: you had to be an idiot to not notice you cannot jump to conclusion. The article you quote here is saying exactly that: you cannot reliably say "Whites are smarter than Blacks", because we don't know why we see a gap, it can be a simple statistical fluctuation or a spurious correlation that we haven't discovered yet. It is explicitly said in the article conclusion: "In a field where so many issues are unresolved and so many questions unanswered, the confident tone that has characterized most of the debate on these topics is
clearly out of place". They say that Bostrom confident tone that Whites are smarter than Blacks is clearly out of place.
To be fair, there are still servers like that. Last week I was on the largest ReIndev mod server, beautiful architecture for as long as you walked, none protected by any means
Can only agree; had to sadly leave Thunderbird due to duplicated events, reminders for events already dismissed, weird errors and these Windows 95-style dialogs.
Writing things down and thinking them over before acting on them, isn't bullshit. There's other decent advice in the article. I think your review of the article is overly negative.

Perhaps these techniques come naturally to some people, and others need to learn it by instruction? I'm in the latter camp. I often need to think about how I sound and make sure I don't come across as too negative.
I recently interviewed with a mega-big bank for a role that I 'got it'/I have the 20y of experience on the thing. I've talked to 4 people. I usually ask "what are the 3 things that you want to see me do/not do in the first 6 months" (among other questions. Person #3 said "don't ask to change things, observe for the first 12 months, and on the 13nth month raise your hand and speak up, not before".

I have been journaling like for (8 years). Both notebooks and Scrivener. I like Nat's journaling method. This way he avoids looking like a fool/jumping the gun, and he gives the time for things to unfold (or not).
sounds similar to a bug in my predator x27 monitor where the middle strip of pixels moves to the far right side until I power cycle it.

The good news is it's just a firmware issue and they've already fixed it.. the bad news is to get the update they want me to ship a heavy ultra wide monitor to a service center.

so id check if your monitor has firmware updates and more importantly if you can apply them yourself.. and ensure any future monitor you buy actually allows users to apply updates to the firmware.
How about going to a medical conference/event to meet doctors in person?
My overconfident understanding is that "regular people" notice a "regular" amount, but let themselves forget about or ignore a "regular" amount of what they found. People with Autism are less able to let go of what they find, and often struggle with over-stimulation from it. People with ADHD start at an under-stimulated baseline, are instinctively looking for too much, and often overcompensate; which leads to a similar over-stimulation.
> My real worry about seed oil theory is that it’s a distraction.

Which do you think is worse: smoking, or seed oils?

Which do you think is worse: smoking, or not exercising?

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

Look at Figure 2C in particular. The hazard ratio of smoking is 1.41. The hazard ratio between "Low" (<25th percentile) and "Below Average" (25th-49th percentile) cardiovascular health is 1.95.

In other words, it is better to be a smoker than in the lower 25% of non-exercisers. By far. It's not even close.

Seed oils are 100% a distraction. Once you're in the upper 2.3% of vo2max for your age/sex, _then_ you have the right to worry about seed oils. Until then, save your energy for interval training.

Minor in the minors, major in the majors.
Read committed mode (PostgreSQL's default) can get pretty funky.

If two transactions concurrently perform a SELECT (may be in a CTE) followed by an UPDATE, then they might see and try to update the same rows. That's often undesirable, for instance in the example of a queue where messages are supposed to arrive ~once. Serializable mode would "solve" the problem by letting one transaction fail, and expects the application to retry or otherwise deal with the consequences.

FOR UPDATE is a precision tool for working around read committed limitations. It ensures rows are locked by whichever transaction reads them first, such that the second reader blocks and (here's the funky part) when the first transaction is done it actually reads the latest row version instead of the one that was in the snapshot. That's semantically a bit weird, but nonetheless very useful, and actually matches how updates work in PostgreSQL.

The biggest issue with SELECT..FOR UPDATE is that it blocks waiting for concurrent updaters to finish, even if the rows no longer match its filter after the update. The SKIP LOCKED avoids all that by simply skipping the locked rows in the SELECT. Semantically even weirder, but very useful for queues.
It's important to distinguish between open source and open weights
Nor could I. And I can't imagine sitting next to my wife watching a football game together on my phone. But I could while waiting in line by myself.

Similarly, I could imagine sitting next to my daughter, who is 2,500 miles away at college, watching the name together on a virtual screen we both share. And then playing mini-golf or table tennis together.

Different tools are appropriate for different use cases. Don't dismiss a hammer because it's not good at driving screws.
Wave Division Multiplexing being substantially enabled by all-optical amplifiers in the late 1990's it seems, because otherwise you have to convert optical to electrical signal, amplifiy that, and reconvert that back into an optical signal in order to travel down the next length of fiber-optic.

With optical amplifiers you can amplifiy every color of the rainbow at once, without breaking the chain.

I'm saying that figuring out how long a peak is going to last, and how low the low actually gets is an effort that has bankrupted a lot of people. When it comes to housing it appears that time in market is more effective than timing the market in most places.
Still doesn’t answer - How does the follicle know that I cut my hair and needs to grow again to that length?
In many ways, it feels the same to me. Specially alarming to me is that some of my friends, who have no idea how LLMS & AI work, are seriously considering investing in it.
The barrier to entry is quite low, and getting lower. Almost all the models out there can be used cheaply via API - millions of tokens/words processed for less than a few hundred dollars (if that much). For those willing to spend the time, services like replicate, anyscale are even cheaper. Basically, anyone who can call an API & feed it data, can get into the "AI" business. And they are.

Let's be honest that he's probably not doing it due to goodness of his heart. He's most likely trying to commoditize the models so he can sell their complement. It's a strategy Joel Spolsky had talked about in the past (for those of you who remember who that is). I'm not sure what the complement of AI models is that Meta can sell exactly, so maybe it's not a good strategy but I'm certain it's a strategy of some sort
Rust-Written LAVD Kernel Scheduler Shows Promising Results for Linux Gaming
I doubt simple sugars are a serious threat by themselves either. The dose makes the poison. Straight candy is bad for you but having sugary cereal or an energy bar occasionally is not an issue. Industrialized diets encourage us to overcome calorie dense, overly processed foods. The biggest factor in disease related to that kind of diet could just be that the proportions of things are out of whack.
I suspect that the bonus level isn't real.
would your wife normally watch nfl with you? if yes, for you or for nfl?
There's a tiny bit of nuance there about "allow seamless upgrades" in that they do what I think is a fantastic job of version skew toleration between all the parts that interact (kubectl, kubelet, apiserver, etc). So that part, I think, is not the long pole in any such tent, especially because if the control-plane gets wiped out, kubelet will continue to manage the last state of affairs it knew about, and traffic will continue to flow to those pods

The hairy bit is the rando junk that gets shoved into clutsers, without any sane packaging scheme to roll it up or back. I even recently had to learn the deep guts of the sh.helm.v1.foo secret because we accidentally left an old release in a cluster which no longer supported its apiVersion. No problem, says I, $(helm uninstall && helm install --version new-thing) but har-de-har-har helm uses that Secret to fully rehydrate the whole manifest of the release before deleting it so when helm tries (effectively) kubectl delete thing/v1beta1/oldthing and pukes, well, no uninstall for you, even if those objects are already gone

>Every other big tech company has lost that kind of leadership.

He really is the last man standing from the web 2.0 days. I would have never believed I'd say this 10 years ago, but we're really fortunate for it. The launch of Quest 3 last fall was such a breath of fresh air. To see a CEO actually legitimately excited about something, standing on stage and physically showing it off was like something out of a bygone era.
If they had sold the items they could have probably made some money (maybe $1000s?). Still a small payout considering the amount of work, of course.
I find the seed oil skepticism makes sense on kind of a lifestyle-y, psychic level. Like, the rhetoric always feels all-over-the-place like the author mentions compared to research on trans fat. It always struck me as a more emotional thing.

Like, it lets people afraid of a seemingly scary, industrialized, effeminate, world feel virtuous, contrarian, and protected by tradition. Plus, you get to eat steaks and butter!
Interesting. Why do they want you to do it the old way? Or could you explain more? I've never worked somewhere like this, so curious as to why this would happen?
Not without chocolate, but less. It only needs to be enough to be legally called a chocolate bar.

Yeah no. That goes against the 5th
This is pretty poor writing by PG here. What is "neutral opinion"... fact? Or the people who answer "I don't know" in political polls? And saying "Actual frauds are usually pretty conspicuous" is silly. If an attempt at fraud were really obvious, it wouldn't trick many people. The big frauds are the ones that are outwardly plausible and therefore trick lots of people.
October 2022 a bird with the code name B6 set a new world record that few people outside the field of ornithology noticed. Over the course of 11 days, B6, a young Bar-tailed Godwit, flew from its hatching ground in Alaska to its wintering ground in Tasmania, covering 8,425 miles without taking a single break...

Many factors contributed to this astonishing feat of athleticism—muscle power, a high metabolic rate and a physiological tolerance for elevated cortisol levels, among other things.

Additional fun fact the article doesn't mention:

Birds sleep with only half their brain at a time when making these long distance flights. That's why they don't doze off and fall out of the sky.
Lessons from customer evaluations of an AI product
I felt that way until he had Carlson on. Carlson is a grade A TV talking head grifter who just spins up sensationalist narratives to drive views. No background, no expertise, just a guy who mastered which buttons to push to get average joe's raging.

Lex says he wants open honest conversation, but Carlson was just doing the same stunningly dishonest grift he does every time he has a mic in front of him. So dumb.
How Microsoft Scales Git for Monorepos
Hi im Onur, As someone with over five years of experience in Python serialization and the Django framework, I've been heavily involved in the development and maintenance of Tiger, a function store that provides isolated storage, auto-documentation, usage tracking, and version control.

Tiger was born out of the need to solve the difficulties associated with library creation and storage in Python. It serves as a GitHub repository and On-Premises service, storing functions as tools for various large language model (LLM) agent frameworks such as crewAI, LangChain, Autogen, and OpenInterpreter. These AI agents, when integrated with Tiger, become capable of executing codes, searching through stored data, reading Telegram messages, and much more.

Tiger is a two-part system. The first part is a Docker container that provides a dashboard and storage. The second part is a Python client library that I've designed to serialize the functions. This client sends the serialized functions to the Docker container for storage, triggers the auto-documentation process, and keeps usage records.

In the development of Tiger, I've utilized various technologies including Flask, Django, Dill, and Cloudpickle. Notably, I've used the Upsonic Serializer for serializing some functions.

Our goal is to establish a strong community and use case that offers tools for AI agents. This allows all AI agents to easily access modern applications and skills without additional effort. Additionally, companies can easily use Tiger to perform their unique functions. You can provide up-to-date tools for any type of AI agent. Imagine your research agents recommending documents to your team members for reading. This is the high level of usability and standardization we promise.

Tiger can enhance any agent with well-designed tools. Therefore, you can use it to impart search capabilities, the ability to run various programs, and communication skills to all your agents.
2012 Ivy Bridge MacBook Air with 8 GB RAM:

Recent macOS versions have become slower and slower each year. Among those unsupported releases that can still run via OCLP, it is easy to notice all the newly changed stuff because those start and react much slower. Every interaction with, e.g., the control center or the new system settings is just a pain.
Also, the system + my login items would occupy ~4GB RAM at startup.

With Ubuntu, the system feels like new. It has a lower base load of only 1.5 GB RAM at startup, and with zram + dynamically sized swap files, the system has much more legroom to multitask.
Everything feels fast again, and I don't need to use a 3rd party tool that disables Intel's Turbo Boost to keep the fans quiet. The overall load on the system is so much lower that even with full boost clocks, it needs much longer to spin the fans up.
The difference is (literally) semantics.

What design tools express in UI/UX interaction, CSS must express in context-free grammar. It's every bit as awkward as replacing verbs with nouns.
Of course, but what I wasn't aware of (until today's news) was that Google had signed a 1.2 Billion contract to provide cloud-computing and artificial intelligence services for the Israeli government and military.

Not saying I agree or disagree. Just saying that the protest succeeded in raising awareness.

There is more than one reason people go to malls, and "save time" is probably not even on the list.
The question is whether "efficiency" in a political party is a good thing.
Honest question: how is this privacy-friendly? From what the website says, it appears to be as privacy-unfriendly as most other ad networks. Maybe even more so due to the use of blockchain.
Ah, but because it moves backwards and forwards in time, (the positrons are that same electron going backwards in time), even if it does get broken, you wouldn’t know.
At some point, even pre-pandemic, I came to the conclusion that getting something in 2 days via delivery was probably faster than I would get around to getting to the store. For some things, I still prefer to go in person especially if it's just down the street or I'm in the area. But increasingly little. (Except grocery.)
The 5th is words on paper. The people who write the laws or enforce them can do whatever they want by "interpeting" it or just ignoring it.
I'll check Steve Blank out (didn't know him), but I've been trying to follow this technique ad-hoc. Like you said, easier said than done. Even friendly people aren't very responsive to requests for intros. In the few interviews I did I made a point to ask for intros at the end and although they say "sure", it's crickets afterwards.

This is a humbling realization of what salespeople are up against. We all love to hate on these guys but man... What a hustle and you need armor-like skin and insane optimism and persistence.
