I'd rather just have additional salary, which I could invest/use however I wanted.

What's more, companies and the 1% also want us to have additional salary, they just don't realize it yet :-) This business of 99% going to 1% is creating serious economic distortions, and when those resolve themselves 100% of us are going to wish we hadn't created those distortions in the first place.
I’ve never seen anyone believe the straw man that the author seems to think people believe. People are rightly concerned about their data being trained on for the very real concerns which the author later acknowledges are legitimate risks.
> AES-GCM-SIV has increasing likelihood of nonce reuse after 2^32 messages.

While I agree on your cautions, this is still an exceptionally large number. Also AFAIK the actual bound depends on the message size, e.g. you can "safely" encrypt 2^64 messages of ~128 KiB each with the identical key but random nonce. So as long as one keep using as random nonce as possible but allowing for a few exceptional reuses, casual developers indeed have a very low chance to actually reach that threshold.
Vector compression.

"Summarize memories at timestamps: [i, j, k, ...n]" etc. etc. until you have a nice scrapbook of memories. Then you gotta prune low-traffic, low-value vector spaces by whatever heuristic you (or an automated system) deems important.
To be frank, the long-context techniques that you're describing are still extremely limited in the length of context to consider, only a million-token order, and extremely expensive to apply.
go.sum is not imports. It's a checksums file, it's used in determining which versions of things to pin to. It doesn't necessarily mean all of those things end up in the final binary. See https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-sum-files. You can run `caddy build-info` to see everything that is a dependency in the build. From my count, a vanilla build of Caddy v2.8.0 has 122 packages as dependencies (many of which are indirect).
It's not up to Google. It's up to parents. The point of this product is to give parents an option other than a phone, which I assume you would believe to be worse (in cost and what it enables).

It’s a bubble, but people have been saying it’s a bubble since before we hit the levels it will probably collapse to when the bubble pops. It might not even pop down below, say, where they were at the start of the year, even with another 6 months to run upwards in the meantime.

It’s pretty easy to just be a perma-bear, especially when it’s a company like nvidia with a dedicated hater club. it’s not a coincidence that the company with the next-biggest hater club is… apple.

https://paulgraham.com/fh.html

The same people who were all in on $AMD-to-the-moon have been saying nvidia will pop for over 18 months at this point. People have been saying that MI200 will crash Nvidia’s party, no wait MI250X (it’s dual chip but presents like one, except it turns out that was a marketing lie in the datasheets!), no MI300X, wait MI400…

They’ve beeen saying that google and Amazon and AMD are gonna crash the party for years and years now, and we still aren’t even close to literally anyone even having a viable alternative to CUDA despite those years of internet hot-air. Apple is literally the closest and they still only have traction on inference, Nvidia’s the only game in town for training still, which is where all the money is.

Simple question, if you’re so sure: how many more years until anyone can use ROCm and not have to think about it? That’s something that only two companies offer, and both of them are in the title of this thread.

Again, reminder that the foremost contender for the third place title, is shipping AI-branded (“Ryzen AI Ultra 300”) laptop CPUs that require vendor enablement to use the neural cores… you have to not only build all the software, train it hard so that edge models are viable (oops, more money for nvidia) but then also you have to convince asus and MSI and clevo and sager to support it in their drivers on an ongoing basis. That’s the third place contender, and they don’t even have the software to run on it in the first place yet.

As much as people can’t help but trip over themselves predicting a pop any day now (for the last 18 months!) literally the third place contender is only just getting rolling, they are probably 10-15 years behind right now in terms of ecosystem. Might be able to do it in 5 if they hurry, but they also have to convince everyone else not to do their own stuff too - if everyone else runs around like a chicken with their head cut off, nvidia still wins.

Again, the only real ecosystem threats right now are apple and sony, and sony is starting from zero too (but they have a legitimate ecosystem unlike say AMD or intel). Intel/SyCL is a technical threat but it’s powerless without a social /ecosystem consensus behind it.

If it’s not a competitor taking over, that leaves a general collapse in AI, and frankly that’s just wishcasting at this point. There’s too much obvious value being delivered for it all to collapse to zero like some people are hoping. Again, not expecting - hoping.

The hater club never realizes they’re haters. That self awareness is the first thing to go. Same as with the apple haters who spent the last 4 years finding any and every reason to try and dunk on apple silicon lol.
I use the term “available weight”.

This is maybe a debatable claim, but I’ll contend that without the magnificent rebel who leaked the original LLaMA weights the last, what, 15 months would have gone completely differently.

The legislators and courts and lawyers will be years if not decades sorting all this out.

For now there seems to be a productive if slightly uneasy truce: outside of a few groups at a few firms, everyone seems to be maximizing for innovation and generally behaving under a positive sum expectation.

One imagines if some really cool tune of this model shows up as a magnet or even on huggingface, the courteous thing probably happened: Mistral was notified in advance and some mutually beneficial arrangement was agreed to in outline, maybe inked, maybe not.

I don’t work for Mistral, so that’s pure speculation, but the big company I spent most of my career at would have certainly said “can we hire this person? can we buy this company? can we collaborate with people who do awesome stuff with our stuff that we didn’t think of?”

The icky actors kind of dominate the headlines and I’m as guilty as anyone and guiltier than most of letting that be top of mind too often.

In the large this is really cool and kind of new.

I’m personally rather optimistic that we’re well past the point when outright piracy or flagrantly adversarial license violations are either necessary or useful.

To me this license seems like an invitation to build on Mistral’s work and approach them with the results, and given how well a posture of openness with some safeguards is working out for FAIR and the LLaMA group, that’s certainly the outcome I’d be hoping for in their position.

Maybe open AI was an unrealistic goal. Maybe AvailableAI is what we wind up with, and that wouldn’t be too bad.
(Dividing line count by 2) It looks like we currently rely on about 322 direct or transitive dependencies. It's worth noting many of those are test-only dependencies.

A lot of the /x/ packages are repeated, just different versions; and I believe -- if my understanding is right -- a lot of these are only used for checksum verification, not necessarily a manifest of what is compiled into the binary.

But, the point remains, dependencies can bloat quickly, which is why we went with such a modular architecture for Caddy 2.

It is fast all right, but the quality is not there. I asked it to implement OAuth with Stytch and Ktor and it made everything up. I pointed out the correct name for the package and asked if it really knew the SDK, and it apologized and repeated the same made up code after merely changing the name of the package.
Japan gets to have free-range children because they have functional public transit. We don't, so we don't.

For what it's worth I'd also point out that the last time I was in Japan all the train stations had ads for transit cards for kids that e-mailed parents whenever they were used. This is functionally identical to American helicopter parenting, IMO.
> it always frustrates me that I don't hear something, I ask the person to repeat only to not hear it again, usually because they repeat it at the same low level

I thought I was the only one with this problem! Someone would make a joke and I would have to pretend to laugh because I didn't even catch what he/she was saying and asking them to repeat it the 3rd time would be awkward.

Even worse, it isn't always a joke, so even calibrating the laughter level is hard. Ugh.
Broken Record – Doomberg
It's too late to edit. My initial skepticism was unfounded.

Separately, the paper largely comprises of "super attention" and everything else.

The "everything else" part of the paper might matter, but it's basically just operator fusion and the impacts of doing so on training dynamics, except they left out the impact on performance for different model parameters and didn't study how training dynamics impact the result. It's not a new idea, even on the ML arxiv, I'm glad they got good results, and it needs more study before being sold so strongly.

The "super attention" part of the paper is interesting. It basically ups the matrix polynomial rank of an attention layer by 1 and claims good results from the process. That's believable, especially given that the main contribution of attention is good empirical results from upping the previous layer matrix polynomial rank by a bit. You'd want to dive into the code and check that they didn't screw up the masking before taking the results at face value though (information leakage can make even very weak models seem to perform well).
Surprisingly, it's not widely known, but you can also use it as a dating app.
I was trying to make the point that the dominant factor becomes linear instead of logarithmic, but more accurately it's O(S log N) = O(N log N) because S (number of segments) is proportional to N (number of vectors).
Caddy is amazingly simple to setup. Automatic HTTPS is a killer feature.

I have to use Envoy at work for gRPC services and I want to quit the industry every time I have to edit their YAML/protobuf monstrosity of a config system.
“Slavery” is an absurd term here. I forgot that if I quit my employer will publicly flog me and drag me back to my workplace. For anyone who thinks about it for half a second it’s obvious productivity is going to be higher in the office, aside from a few possible edge cases.

Just because people don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The most profitable companies in the world know it. Look, I don’t want to ruin a good thing (I wfh) but obviously there’s a benefit to having people go into the office. Let’s not deceive ourselves that we have some moral high ground just because that’d be awfully convenient.

I think the important part is whether the children are affected by the tracking. Is it a big deal if they don’t have service and you can’t Find them for a couple hours?

Mine are grown now, but I’ve always told them: I’m not worried about where you are, I want to know where to go when something happens and you need a rescue. I want them to have the peace of mind that, if needed, the safety net is within reach. When I was a teen, my parents were in reach if I was in reach of a [wired] phone, but I didn’t always know how to tell them where I was at that moment.

Providing a safety net while allowing freedom boosts self confidence.
Can advertising be deceiving, yes, but must it be deceptive? No, it doesn't have to be.

Deception requires some form of intent to deceive or trick someone. Advertisings goal is to convince someone. Some places are using deception, but I think in general, in the US, most are not, as there is a disincentive to use deception. Advertisers are very good at creating desire for something and the ftc has ruled that some techniques are considered exploitative but even exploiting those techniques isn't being deceptive about the product.

For the most part, mandatory return periods and purchase protections through credit cards provide a strong disincentive for using deception in advertising. Additionally there are government protections against deception and advertising but those are typically slow to respond. Whereas mandatory return periods and credit card protections are something that can be executed immediately.

Adding to that, there's definitely techniques to make it autocomplete less trivial lines of code as well. Using comments and clear function names and sane abstractions to nudge it in the right direction helps a lot.

Hard to describe, but Andreas Kling's JIT compiler youtube series is a good demonstration of this technique.

I reread the above and realized that TACF isn’t as clear as they should/could be: they are supporting a newer strain, win3.12 [0], which, as alluded to above, expresses the OxO gene only when infected. This is metabolically less expensive. Thus there is no reason to spend effort looking for the Darling 58. I also gather from other sources that the TACF want to downplay that they are switching to this new strain, that this development of finding a bug in Darling 54 is a political salve[1] —- maybe they don’t want to offend somebody?

This product was conceived by parents who want an alternative to giving their kids a phone. It's good to be suspicious, but what you're saying sounds more like FUD. Parents are the ones who want to do the tracking.
That’s ok, truth is bitter. People may fall for hype sometimes. Maintainers of the project can refute what I am saying but they won’t as this the truth.

- In current explorer one cannot write user defined functions, plugins.
- They don’t even have it in roadmap.
- Also the exposed functionality is always lagging when compared to polars.

- elixir, nx, explorer,distributed, etc nice keywords - reality is it is still early for them. Better to stay away for production apps in case of ai/ml unless people are connecting to OpenAI and writing chat apps for which they won’t need any of the above except elixir.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. During Rand's tenure Moz was a subscription business selling access to marketing analytics tools. Those tools focused on the structure of the clients' sites themselves rather than any analytics they might have consumed.

Honestly, this has the potential to change the World Wide Web (I use that term very deliberately, given that PHP powers the vast majority of the Internet globally, including some of the biggest sites).

I agree, never entered my mind the Toyota Hybrids. Are they popular in Europe? Somehow when I read this article I'm reminded of high pressure direct fuel injection and biodegradable/sustainable/recycled material... things that just don't last. Toyota tried to get around the carbon build up caused by high pressure direct fuel by having 2 sets of fuel injectors so the older style can clean the new style.. but now you have 2 sets of injectors that can fail instead of 1
It was not tricky at all. CSIS (Canadian FBI equivalent) made it clear to concerned parties in government that there was no armed\violent threat[1], despite the official\reputable news media[2] claiming this repeatedly.

As regards your world of difference argument. Most of the important protests that have changed anything have involved not simple, passive attemtps to "draw awareness to a cause", but actually causing a good deal of deliberate loss of income, convenience, security and comfort. (see the suffragettes, the stonewall riots, the montgomery alabama lunch counter boycotts, chartists in 1848 etc).

The truckers, whether you agreed with them or not, were peaceful and intent on using that peaceful protest to force a change in their society. They were met with co-ordinated media defamation, the invocation of a power which should only be used in war time and the seizing of their supporters funds. Pretty much standard behavior for a Western democracy getting squeezed and needing to ditch the facade of democracy and revert to good old fashioned authoritarianism. It's never far from the surface.

From time to time, you have to think about what your Needs are (cause they change with time). Money/Status/Job etc begins to have meaning when its in service of those Needs.

People who haven't spent time thinking about what matters to them, end up trying to meet the Needs of whatever others throw in their lap.

> it's an asset only barely less liquid than cash

Have you ever tried to sell real estate? I have. It's nothing like the liquidity of cash. Cash I can spend right now. Real estate? It can be 6 months or more. Even borrowing against the equity takes a while. You have to spend time at the bank, get appraisals, get credit checks, and spend an afternoon at the escrow office reading 100 odd pages of contracts. Bleh.

> Unbounded wealth disparity is a symptom of a corruptable system.

A brief study of various societies will show that wealth disparity is hardly a key ingredient for corruption. Corruption in 3rd world countries, for example, is rampant at every income level. When the only way to get ahead is through corruption, you're going to get a heluva lot of it. The USSR ran on corruption at all levels. There are many books on the Soviet economy.

> Unbounded growth doesn't benefit me past meeting my financial goals

Why does that entitle you to decide what the goals should be for everyone else? What if they decide your business is too big, and you should get a haircut? Setting the maximum for wealth being what you have seems a bit convenient?

Elon Musk is the wealthiest man in the world. With his wealth he was able to start SpaceX. Would we be better off without SpaceX? Musk was also the primary investor in Tesla. He bet his entire fortune on it. Your proposal would have prevented that.
I honestly can't remember if it showed up in the strobe or not, this was a few years ago. This procedure wouldn't be listed in the regular manual. It involves opening it up to adjust an internal potentiometer, and can't be reliably done without a frequency counter (I guess you could do it through trial and error, but it would take forever having to reassemble it and play a test disc after every adjustment,) so it is only in the service manual. You should be able to find a scan pretty easily though. Can't remember what frequency you need to hit, but it's low. If you don't have a proper frequency counter an Arduino will work just fine.
