Great project but I truly believe that these single screen window managers are going to be a thing of the past if Scrollable WMs manage to find some more marketting.

Niri[1] and PaperWM[2] for example, these Scrolling WMs provide a way to tile your apps in a way that feels natural. It's like having multiple monitors without having multiple monitors.

When I first used PaperWM on Gnome, I just couldn't think of a reason why somebody would even use their computer the normal way when these exist.

> those running the country control the police

Interestingly one of the things that came out of 2020 was that nobody appears willing to control the police. Unless by police you mean FBI, which would both make sense for investigating a national politician and be directly under the control of the executive.
There is usually a severability clause that basically says if a clause is illegal it voids that clause not the whole contract… this is pretty standard practice.

Note I didn’t discuss the fully loaded costs I discussed the inference costs.

At this point I see training costs as basic research and R&D, partially and not entirely oriented at -making training scale- and cost optimization for next generations of foundational and fine tuned models. For example Falcon is literally basic research funding.

That’s relevant because if they stopped with say Claude Opus and 4o and did no more training they would be handsomely profitable indefinitely because the product is that useful. However it’s an arms race and the limit of effectiveness hasn’t been reached as training costs fall dramatically. So it’s not the right time to stop because whoever stops first loses everything to whoever doesn’t stop. More they’re feeding off each other in a virtuous cycle.

Once diminishing returns kill the race whoever is left in the race will have a handsome business indefinitely as the moat to build such a return diminished model is probably enormous. But if inference optimizations keep going as they’re going it’ll be crazy cheap to operate.

The second layer market of tools that constrain, optimize, and effectively apply the models in effective ways will be the first to really turn a profit. Many hype wagon AI companies are already being snapped up by larger companies to bootstrap their internal work.
Yup. Three fifths of Indians eat meat, and four fifths to a half of those that do do so regularly.
If that's true, wouldn't that imply that the mods aren't very effective?
I suspect this only happens at large organizations, also known as dysfunctional enterprises.

Investors will continue to lose out to the benefit of younger employees not tied down. Until boards fire the cacophony of retarded morons that make up "leadership" and replace them with innovators, this will continue.
Great to see such a project. We are using datanymizer [1] right now but it has gone unmaintained and we are using my patched version [2] and it is working pretty well for us.
I saw a new project that is getting close in terms of having the feature set I need and has them on their roadmap [3].

To ensure that we are marking columns as PII, we run a job that compares the anonymization configuration to a comment on the column- we have a comment on every column to mark it as PII (or not).

Equity in a unlisted, non-public company is an IOU scribbled onto a piece of loo paper.
I my experience, its something that starts with trust, a lot of times you would have trust what a dev is saying, but still asking questions, asking why an estimate on a task is what is being proposed, why would it take more effort, what are the alternative ways of doing it etc. Too much agreement on everything and complete lack of agreement are both signs of something not right. Healthy debates are good
Any time you see a command starting with “sudo” and with a path of “/“ in the arguments, alarm bells should be going off. Here be dragons.
Yes, the administration can change policies, but dropping cases is another matter. Certainly policy changes can have an effect on cases, but it's not like cases get dropped at some dramatic rate when a new administration comes in.
ezgif uses a lossy GIF compressor written by me — author of gif.ski.

I can run:

gifski -Q50 jazz-chromecast-ultra.gif -o even-smaller.gif

and it reduces the same file by 65%. With -Q20 it can be 78% smaller: https://gif.ski/jazz-ultra-small.gif

By that measure, gif.ski is 78% better than itself!

With lossy compression it's always possible to make files smaller, and smaller, and smaller. Comparisons of lossy encoders without controlling for quality lead to such absurd results. See https://kornel.ski/en/faircomparison
Of course it's feasible. Nobody is saying "go to Europe", they are saying to not go to concerts. To effect change, you have to make sacrifices.
> I got stuck at making sense of macros

Are you simply staring intently at the macros, trying to make sense of them, or are you actually utilizing the macro-expanding feature in your editor? Or perhaps you're grappling with writing macros yourself? Macros can be tricky, which is why Clojurists often avoid creating new ones unless there's a compelling reason to do so. There's an old book called "Mastering Clojure macros", it's tiny - fewer that a hundred pages. It helped me back when I was learning Clojure.

It is crazy that S3 still does not have a comparable header. It's the single biggest miss they're sitting on right now as far as I'm concerned.
I think there's a non-zero chance that scalpers are watching the list of available ticket blocks, comparing frequently to find when a block becomes unavailable (because it's in a cart), and then monitoring and automatically buying any "missing" ticket blocks as soon as they reappear. That's what I would do, anyways.

That said, I would not be surprised in the least if this was being aided by ticketmaster or they were straight up doing it themselves. I just think there is a possible explanation where they are ignorant rather than malicious.
It's not if Israel continues its killing campaign. At best, I could agree that Hamas surrendering would not increase casualties, but I doubt it would decrease them in any way.

> The amount of water, land, and feed that goes toward growing cattle until they're old enough to go to the slaughterhouse is enormous

These stats are fairly deceitful. Cattle are raised on low quality "marginal land" that would otherwise not be able grow proper crops. Cows with their four stomachs can digest rough grasses that grow there, making the otherwise useless land useful. Generally when you hear the "amount of water" required to raise a cow, this is simply rainwater. These headlines that get thrown around imply a massive amount of resources being diverted away from growing crops to raise cattle instead, but that is completely false.

I worked at a motel during college. One of my coworkers was an elementary ed major. One of her class's homework was making a basic addition worksheet targeted at, I dunno, maybe 1st graders. It was a page of things like "3 + 5 =" and "4 + 2 =". She asked me to proofread it. I looked at it for the 10 seconds it took to scan a page of single-digit addition questions and told her it was fine.

She was indignant that I "wasn't taking it seriously". "What do you mean? I proofread it for you." "You couldn't have even looked! No one can do math that quickly!"

Uhhh...

That was far from the only interaction we had like that. It wasn't a one-time mental fog. I dreaded the fact that one day she'd be teaching our kids.

(This doesn't reflect my general opinion of elementary ed teachers. It's horrid that this lady could have made it as far as being a senior in college. The school was doing her, and her future students, a huge disservice.)

Could you expand more on what you mean in place of the sarcasm/exasperation of how obvious it is? The US has drivers licenses, driver examinations for those licenses, and revocation penalties (similar to most other countries) and the problem persists so it seems there are particular changes to those you think would resolve things?
I agree that grandparent commenter's point isn't responsible to reality, but this response is childish. We shouldn't advocate for others harms even if sarcastic.

I don't think that's a very defensible argument, but if you really believe that our premises are probably too far apart for it to be productive to keep talking about it. I don't think that Israeli attacks on Hamas installations are proportionate, but I don't think it's a mainstream bit of analysis that they're completely decoupled from Hamas itself.

Again, I would say, the Rule of Lord Farquaad applies.

It's worth noting that Hanlon’s razor was not originally intended to be interpreted as a philosophical aphorism in the same way as Occam’s:

New code-focused LLM needle in the haystack benchmark
Hi HN - In collab with UWaterloo, we published a new code-focused needle in the haystack benchmark.

TLDR
- GPT-3.5-Turbo showed lower accuracy on the BICS benchmark than the BABILONG benchmark at the same context length and target depth, indicating that LLMs struggle more on code-based tasks than text-based tasks at long context length.
- The hype is real. GPT-4o showed the best performance, closely followed by GPT-4-Turbo. The GPT-4-Series especially performed well at long context lengths compared to other models.
- Llama3-70B reached GPT 3.5-Turbo levels (yay open-source!)
- Gemini 1.0 Pro was bad across the board (super surprising)

Given the way tech companies exploit all of us, I’m not convinced that would’ve been a bad thing. For all we know, that could’ve caused societal progress, which is considerably more important than the “innovation” we get of being able to watch 4 second ads in 10 second videos while sitting on the toilet.
The mathematics works the same way as programming projects: when the task is 90% done you get to finish the remaining 90% of the work.
S3 does simple, reliable object storage well. If anything its draconian pricing model for charging exuberant pricing for bandwidth is showing its age and why we've moved to Cloudflare R2 for their zero egress fees.

Being able to reuse the s3 command-line and existing S3 libraries has made the migration painless, so I'm thankful they've created a defacto standard that other S3 compatible object storage providers can implement.

This. There's always a small group of people pushing feature requests (ahem scope creep) into services that were never designed for those things. Unfortunately, those people win a lot of the time. Ie, see all the simple JS frameworks that were initially meant to solve relatively simple problems, only for them to become bloated and be replaced by something else that promised simplicity.
Using modern digital gamification to reinforce learning outcomes, a-la TikTok , will probably produce a generation of absolutely brilliant, weird psychopaths.
What kind of evidence do you expect to see? I feel like I’ve read about a fair number of problems which this could be related to or even simply aggravate.

There probably hasn’t been enough time for any studies to link a problem straight from widespread porn emergence all the way to damage in childrens’ development, though. Porn wasn’t, like, WIDELY available until maybe 20 years ago. We’ve basically had a single generation to study, and they’re not even done being kids yet for the most part.

Still, the damage seems like an obvious outcome to me.

Dunno; 'cost' implies money out of pocket. They simply fail to collect it? Not really costing anything.

Of course, fair is another issue entirely.
Well at least LLMs are incredibly useful, as opposed to the crypto farms that waste resources just to create scarcity. I don't think it's nearly as much of a waste. Also, those couple months in that data center can create a model that millions of people can benefit from. The inference is already setting an optimisation phase where soon it can be done on dedicated mobile hardware at low energy. Bitcoin went through this too but the problem is that there is only led to more wasted resources because wasting resources is the whole point. AI will not have this issue. It will stabilise and energy use will drop due to optimisation.

It's funny though, our company is pushing all this "Green IT" nonsense internally, telling us to turn off a 10kB email banner but at the same time investing really big into everything AI because they're terrified to miss the boat. And to deal with this hypocrisy they're making ever more ridiculous greenwashing claims "One email banner wastes as much energy as 10 washing machines!". Literally, that's what they told us. In a 200MB video on our intranet. While everyone is doomscrolling TikTok and watching music videos on YouTube because they blocked Spotify on the company network.

What we have to do is be smarter with our energy but I think AI can help there too. Not flying hand the world around for every meeting too.
Yes, I think you are right. I just forgot that "As an AI language model" is a signature from ChatGPT too. Sometimes it reveals itself with phrases like "is against OpenAI's use case policy" (which I don't see in these articles), but in many cases it looks white label.

People posting the wrong information is a great opportunity for a community to explain why it’s wrong. We lost that take on community and it’s a major loss for our entire industry. It’s remarkably hard for people to figure out why they’re wrong when they’re wrong.

that's useful with explicit simd instructions which let you process 32 (pairs of corresponding) 16-bit pixels with one avx-512 instruction, or on a 16-bit machine like the 80286, but unnecessary if you're processing a single pair of 16-bit pixels with 32-bit instructions. on the other hand, you might have 32-bit vectors or something, for example for the standard axis-aligned bounding box test
