Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, when conditioned on a non-null label, the underlying model for classifier-free guidance can be seen as the same as a class-conditional model (in fact, the original CFG paper[0] discusses training a separate model - they didn't do that because it's extra work for not much benefit). And for a certain weighting of the guidance vector for each step, you can obtain the same sampling step you would get with a class-conditional model. But my understanding is that the point of guidance is that you can control this weighting, because you are able to estimate the unconditional score too.

Simple Truths: Clear and Gentle Guidance on the Big Issues in Life
From what I've been reading up to a degree, you want to be in a windowless, low-airflow situation for a day or two so the nuclear particles in the air can settle down. It's not radiation free at that point, but you're mostly dealing with radioactive dust settled on the ground. So walking carefully, wearing a mask or cloth over your nose and trying to keep outside dust outside and not take it inside is a decent thing.

And from there the priorities would be water, food and clearing roads, as controversial as that sounds to "keep the dust down". I live in a city, and my best chance at survival once basics are met is to ensure supplies and emergency vehicles can move. If those don't exist anymore, it's questionable chances anyway, so it's better to ignore that.
The new Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1 processor
Hidden in this announcement is the new display: 2880x1920, 120Hz, VRR, 500 nits https://frame.work/products/display-kit?v=FRANJF0001

I'll see if I can find a separate link for that. Definitely upgrading my Framework 13 Ryzen 7640U with this new display.

The design of the Kodiak card (logo? icon? not sure if there's a better word) also seems like it's intentionally mildly reminiscent of the Kodak logo, without being close enough that it's obvious at first glance.

I love this whole series on misconceptions!

Our expectations here are very much set by human-human interactions: we expect memory, introspection, that saying approximately-the-same-thing will give us approximately-the-same-result, that instructions are better than examples, that politeness helps, and many more [1] -- and some of these expectations are so deeply rooted that even when we know, intellectually, that our expectations are off, it can be hard to modify our behavior.

That said, it will be super interesting to see how people's expectations shift -- and how we bring new expectations from human-AI interactions back to human-human interactions.

The real problem is that people are afraid of paying high one time prices. Subscriptions allow you to lower your prices, which lowers the barrier of entry.

On iOS, it gets even worse as there never were high prices to begin with. Which means that the OTP model was never very sustainable.

welcome to the world of capital gains and QSBS!
Funny how the ownership class is so strongly against technology that makes their "ownership" of something as silly as a voice at risk of losing its return on investment they will go to battle over this. This shows weakness in human voice talent, just look at this massive liability using humans introduces. Sorry honey, just because you think s voice sounds like you doesn't give you the right to throw a fit. Seems like shes salty that she didn't take their offer because when they said honestly it's fine we can do it without you, she didn't believe them. Now when they have done just as high quality of a voice without her she cannot grasp the fact they just didn't need her at all and her only value is basically vendor lock in, which is now failing. The people fighting this think a genie can go back in a bottle or something, or that you can leverage being "important" to claim the technology is unfair. NYT, this random actress, nobody cares. This is at the level of a national security breakthrough in terms of significance, trying to insert yourself into the middle of it after the fact to get the piece of the pie you already rejected just looks bad. I imagine we see more and more of these cases falling apart soon, can I sue my boss for reading my github page and getting ideas from it? Can I sue my teacher for reading harry potter to me? Can I sue youtube for hosting videos of people doing impersonations of obama?

These systems learn. Learning is legal and protected. If we could sue the people who quote books they don't own, reference TV shows they don't have a current and valid license to stream, where do we draw the line? If I can sue a computer for learning from the world, or the teacher that gave it material, why can't I sue a church for teaching nonsense? Infact, why doesn't OpenAI just become a formal religion or something?

All of this is 1.) going nowhere 2.) pointless overall 3.) a waste of energy 4.) preventing scientific progress

There was a show on Amazon a few years ago called Patriot about the misfortunes of a CIA operative with hardly any support from the agency. An interesting part was that even though he used a blackberry, arguably having better e2e messaging than today, the comms were done through some online scrabble game.
I guess the term “Serverless” is pretty ambiguous, but since this originated from AWS Lambda (firecracker) and that’s the same primitive as Fly.io then it seemed fitting. You can scale up/down compute and snapshot memory for fast startups

The other tricky thing is data: there are several ways to handle this. Since Tigris has a lot of the data replication features that Postgres would traditionally handle then it looks promising. That said - it comes with tradeoffs that you point out (transfer costs) but these are also costs that you’d pay for postgres replication. I’ll try benchmark some of these costs and compare them across several implementations. At this stage I just wanted to get an MVP working: the harder stuff is still ahead

Thanks for your comment - a lot of good points
Same, I'm the "rich guy" picking up my son at school in an old Porsche I got cheap on Craigslist and maintain myself, despite the fact that its a school my kid was transferred to in a wealthy neighborhood we can't afford to live in. It cost me way way less than a newer economy car would.

It's funny the general reactions I get- young men try to race me at stoplights, and strangers on the street will often give me a defiant fist or middle finger, as if I represent the wealthy exploitative class, in what is likely the cheapest car that has driven by in half an hour.

I enjoy working on cars, so that helps make it cheap.

We are working on it.
The fact that this is EPEL strongly suggests that it was set up by an AWS user, not by Amazon themselves. EPEL is not used by default in any common AWS AMIs. Perhaps it is an Amazon Linux user who enabled EPEL via Amazon's package, but it's not supported in the most recent version of AL so Amazon seems to have addresses that issue anyway.
Much of this comment could sort of be true if you put a really heavy spin on cherry-picked facts and poured some salt on them, but there’s no way to substantiate the claim the US revolted because the UK was freeing slaves.

For example, that’d be hard to square with Thomas Jefferson, in his capacity as governor of Virginia, banning the slave trade (not slavery) and freeing all slaves imported despite the ban two years after the Declaration of Independence- literally during the Revolutionary War. There was always an abolitionist streak in America, driven mostly by the same elements as on the UK and developing at the same time.

um, ackshully, lots of computational editing is being done now. The image of Sag A* was heavily computed. They are now having to use computed images to remove all of the made on earth objects in the sky from Starlink to planes. There's a lot of stuff done to astroimages now and computational editing is making its way there.
It depends if it's a single rogue detonation. Then there is hope federal government and even neighboring municipalities could rush in to help. But if we're talking global war with all major popular centers targeted, yeah that's a whole different situation.

I like the still from Con Air (sporting Cyrus 'The Virus'), but do people actually use a phone to shoot 'serious' movies? Even amateur, super low-budget ones? When so many cameras that can be bought used for dirt cheap, shoot D-Log, and many have interchangeable lenses, and an actual shutter button, and removable SD cards, etc.

Taking pictures with a phone is unpleasant enough, but shooting movies is another world of pain.

CS gas and tear gas are chemical weapons. Period. By definition. It is not a technical distinction. See WWI. The fact there are more deadly chemical weapons does not change that use of CS and tear gas are chemical weopons and their use in war would be war crimes
Yes that video from Dave's shop has been making the rounds. Its definitely a problem but honestly if the seal was removed and the exterior, interior, and depth were measured it can be purchased by spec instead of by a parts match for the exact transmission. That's like saying a furniture company won't sell me a screw that I lost, so the cabinet is worthless. I spec what kind of screw I need by taking a sample of another or measurements of another and go buy a generic screw.

I call bullshit. Maybe China has the ability to sell an off-road EV for only $25k, but not Stellantis.
Got a source on that? Virus transmission as a field of epidemiology is in general decently understood, and while vaccines aren't a panacea for everyone in every circumstance, herd immunity absolutely exists and is an effective way of reducing the spread of viruses at scale, sometimes significantly so.

Boosters were required as frequently as they were because Covid was developing new variants faster than things we're used to (like the flu, which tends to have about one variant a year with high infection rates among humans). Naturally, many people do get flu "booster" shots annually to try and reduce the spread of what's still a deadly disease to the immunocompromised; we just don't talk about it much because flu death rates have roughly stabilized for long enough that they're not considered excessive deaths (in the actuarial sense).

> 10KT is a tiny explosion for modern nuclear weapons.

Agreed, but it was the reference I had on hand.

> And remember that this is an MIRV system with 8 warheads per missile. Yes, the idea is that some of those will be intercepted, but at the end of the day that's still almost 5MT of explosive power per missile dropping down on your city.

MIRVs generally aren't dropping 8 identical bombs on one target. Each warhead is independently targeted, as per the acronym.

I wish apt, dnf/rpm, flatpak, etc utilized a decentralized distribution option, like IPFS or BEP46 Mutable Torrents. It would be neat if the project leads seeded new package update hashes, volunteers ran seedboxes instead of http mirrors, and clients had (default-on?) seeding of package binaries in addition to only downloading. It would be neat to see the open source community contributing to support each other's experience.
Also The War Game from 1966 by Peter Watkins. Was commissioned by the BBC to prepare the public for a nuclear strike, but was then not televised as "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting". Went on to be considered one of the best British documentaries of all time, and one of the most realistic depictions of the effects of a nuclear strike on a populace.

> We agree here, but that isn't how religion solves the problem. Religious laws are also enforced by threats in the afterlife and violence in the present life, not merely by reason, so they do not need to solve the is-ought problem like secular laws do. Of course, religious law has other problems.

You are mixing law with moral/ethics. Secular law doesn't have is-ought problem, it is enforced by the state law enforcement forces. Pressure to abide to the laws doesn't entail or justify their morality.

> I agree completely, hence why it is impossible to derive rights that are logically justified without an appeal to God. The comment I was replying to claimed there were logically justified rights which have to follow from logically justified moral theories unless they are decreed from beyond reason, and since the latter is a category error, so is the former.

It wasn't. It was arguing for inherent rights. The claim for inherent rights can be justified. It can't be justified by logic just like it cannot be proved mathematically. But it can be justified ethically using reason.

The electricity delivery infrastructure actually already exists, and has for a long time: street lamps were spec'd before the transition to low power LED lights.
They make plenty of EVs at that pricepoint in Europe (especially France and Romania edit: confused Renault Dacia in Romania and Citroen in Slovakia) and India like the Citroen e-C3 for $13k in India [0].

China isn't the only low cost BEV market. German automakers went to China, American automakers to Mexico, and French+Italian (Stellantis and Renault) automakers to India+Brazil+Romania.

Most likely it's an attempted partnership by Stellantis to work with Mahindra on their Thar EV [1], the same way Toyota, Suzuki, and Maruti Suzuki all use the same EV platform globally.

True, but also a healthy dose of marketing these tools as hyper-intelligent, anthropomorphizing them constantly, and hysterical claims of them being "sentient" or at least possessing a form of human intelligence by random "experts" including some commenters on this site. That's basically all you hear about when you learn about these language models, with a big emphasis on "safety" because they are ohhhh so intelligent just like us (that's sarcasm).
Most people making their own plane are following plans and thus not experimenting. They are making an experimental plane because regulations make that their best option, but if it was possible to get a new plane for a mass produced cost they wouldn't. The end goal is the plane not making a plane themself. (most don't finish the plane but that is a different story)

It's not mentioned in the original paper, but DiskANN also supports PQ at build-time via `--build_PQ_bytes`, though it's a tradeoff with the graph quality as you mention.

One interesting property in benchmarking is that the distance comparison implementations for full-dim vectors can often be more efficient than those for PQ-compressed vectors (straight-line SIMD execution vs table lookups), so on some systems cluster-and-merge is relatively competitive in terms of build performance.
> A possible consequence of one's first programming language could in fact be not a tainting by its methods, but, on the contrary, a persistent hatred for anything of its kind

Java was not my first programming language, but it was the one I used at my first job, so it was the one in which I first read widely about the best ways to do things. I was immersed in the Java OOP culture. I lived through the days when it was normal to review the names of a couple dozen design patterns before a coding interview. Now I feel like a witness to history, and also like someone who was raised in a cult and then left and now tells people what it was like.
I haven’t seen that talk yet. I’ll check it out for sure. Thanks!
Even without AGI, there are a lot of use-cases. A small reminder about the scale of the World. If something brings a 5% boost to the productivity of the World, it has a value of 5 trillion per year.

If AGI was to happen within 5 years it means that Nvidia is heavily underpriced as AGI would have multiples of hundreds of trillions of value.

If we knew for sure that AGI was happening in 5 years, NVIDIA is probably at least 100x under priced.
