How can we measure DNSSEC adoption? We could take the Tranco top 1M domain names and poll them to see how many are DNSSEC-signed. A recent scan of this domain name list shows that 94,317 of these names are validly signed with DNSSEC, or 9.4%. The issue with this form of average statistic is that it equally weights all of these million domain names, whereas a more relevant statistic would be to weight each domain name by its relative “use” in some fashion. Perhaps there is a different approach that takes this relative use weighting between domain names into consideration.

It's so much worse than this, and I think he must know that. The Tranco list (which is very cool: it's like the Moz500 or other popularity-contest lists like that, but research-oriented, academic, and ostensibly rigorous) is ranked. The first domain on the list is Google, and so on.

He used the Top 1M for a reason. If he wanted to take the top 1000, he could just `head -1000` the list. But the impact on his 9.4% figure would be stark.
We won’t ever get there or need to because GPT-4 wasn’t trained on one GPU it was trained on thousands. The (most likely) biggest meaningful difference between -2 and -4 is the number of parameters and the training data/duration. I don’t think you’d really learn much more.

What part of Georgism is Anarcho-capitalism ? It is merely a way to reason about land and taxation.

For a country with near-zero historic buildings, the US has some of the most suffocating housing regulations. Making the regulations easier to navigate does not make it anarcho-capitalism.

The US housing crisis is an urban problem. Take California for example. Prop 13 handles land-taxation, which lets you pay pennies on prime real eastate. The Bay-area is the world's tech capital and has the world's most expensive real-estate. Yet you'd struggle to see an 5-floor+ building outside of a small pocket in down-town SF & SJ. Nimbys have practically outlawed any building by exploiting environmental regulations. The troubles associated with the new Apple Campus and the SJ downtown transit extension are recent examples among many.

In the above examples, housing of those who have it, is being protected by the laws as if it is a need. However, it explicitly prices-out those without housing through the same means. The individuals who protect their housing, do so to protect an investment. To me, taking away the ability of NIMBYs to project power outside their own walls limits exclusionary regulation. And standardizing taxation by land value generates the kind of fair-market pressure that keeps supply coming.

Now yes, it fully embraces housings as an investment, and it will inevtiably comes with it's fair share of problems. But first, investments come with well-understood regulations to avoid abuse (cartelization, hoarding). And second, I can't imagine how it would be anywhere close to how bad things are now.

If you have a better solution, then I'm all ears. But, at least don't be condescending if you aren't willing to engage.
Convince enough people that this should be a right, and its automatically a right. Rights are just made-up constructs that only exist in our head.
Tax-advantaged benefits like HSAs/FSAs are underutilized. Over 50% of eligible Americans miss out on significant savings. If you're not contributing and you have health expenses, you're likely losing $500-$1,000 annually. Managing these accounts can be complex, but we make it easy. Connect your personal credit card for HSA/FSA spending, and we automatically detect and expense eligible purchases.
At minimum any sort of approval system needs to come with some sort of rubric to bypass it: "build it this way and it's approved automatically". It gives the approvers the same agency while prohibiting holding anything up, and it puts the onus on the approvers to say what they want to see instead of the builders finding a way to hit a nebulous target.

Weird argumentation.

The ultimate differentiator is that LLM, with proper management, can give you a definite, exact answer to your very specific question. This is also a usability boost; it's like moving from a landline phone to a mobile phone from a usability standpoint.

The entire chatbot history is a path towards making support better and more accessible because human agents cost a lot. In fact, the entire chatbot business has to compete with the cheapest human agents on the planet.

You can clearly see NLP-gen bots evolution. From a basic how to reduce the load on human agents to cover the top 100+ questions by bot.

The current LLM generation of bots will evolve into pre-AGI bots, which will be very informative and capable of answering 1000+ questions.

The improvement is 100x, at least. This is HUGE. The numbers are just average, but the limiting factor were levels of efforts to manage these bots.

People who wrote and read the article have a professional deformation/bias.

We are all advanced Google search users or even represent businesses that depend on Google.
The majority of the population on earth is still not very good at doing online research to just solve their basic problems. They trust phone calls, tiktok recommendations and sometimes chatbots, sure. They will prefer anything but not complex googling and digesting large amounts of information.

LLM-powered bots are also much easier to manage, including capabilities of bots actually doing something, e.g., making requests to DB, etc.

Even pre-AGI chatbots, with their 100x+ improvement, will cut a huge amount of what we use to call web2.0/3.0.

LLM is just a vehicle that eventually standardizes content mechanisms. It will cover every aspect of content creation,update, moderation, analytics, and delivery, including, but not only delivery through a chatbot.

Such a change will be as different as the pre-internet media vs the social media era.

We used to think that the Western world is a cutting edge of every single trend globally. In fact only western world is still living in pre-chat world where websites are the main engine of information exchange.

Look at Wechat, Telegram, and Line with their billions of auditory. LLM-powered chatbots will bring the lagging Western world, which used to be golden billion, into modern world reality. This article is just a mental resistance to what's imminent.

Dozens of stories in whatever news media you consume has nothing to do with whether there are serious policy conversations about revisiting sanctuary city laws in those cities.
The baseline is definitely PyTorch (or JAX), and indeed something like nanoGPT. I just never got nanoGPT "past the finish line" of really crossing the t's and dotting the i's and reproducing the models with as much care as I did now and here in llm.c, and getting to the point where it's a single launch command that just does the thing.

I think I'll try to develop the `train_gpt2.py` inside llm.c to be that, so that we have the two implementations exactly side by side, and it's all nice and comparable.

The C/CUDA code is currently a little bit faster than PyTorch (last time I measured ~2 weeks ago it was about 6% faster), and I think we can push this further. This is done by manually hard-coding a bunch of fusions/optimizations that are non-trivial for torch.compile to find (e.g. our FusedClassifier). But PyTorch has some pending work/PRs that will also speed up their side a lot.

Ultimately my interest in llm.c is to have a nice, clean, minimal, super dependency-light repo in direct C/CUDA implementation, which I find aesthetically pleasing. And on top of that, educational, i.e. using all of the above as an endpoint of an intro LLM course.

> Plants do eat bacteria waste (see aquaponics)

Sort of. Some bacteria do convert ammonia into a form that plants can eat, but the majority of bacteria waste is just CO2.

> rabbits can eat some kitchen plant waste

Very very very little. A couple leaves from romaine lettuce and that's about it. They can not eat vegetable peelings for example.

Chickens can.

> rabbit poop can be fed to fish and chickens (rabbits themselves eat it like 3x because poor digestive tract)

This is not correct. Rabbit poop is mostly cellulose and chickens can not digest it, nor can most fish except for tilapia. Rabbits do not eat their poop 3x - they have a special partially digested waste that they will eat a second time, sometimes, it depends on their diet. They do not re-eat their regular poop.

> It is quite simply a natural cycle using no oil for centuries

And it releases lots of CO2. The CO2 the plant absorbed is released when it decays. What's your goal? Reduction of CO2? Less stuff in landfill?

This started with your claim that not refrigerating will reduce CO2 emissions. This is not true. When you "recycle" leftover food, all the CO2 in the food is emitted, and you have to grow more.

The amount of CO2 emitted to recycle food is FAR FAR more than the CO2 from running a refrigerator.

I understand you long for the old days and how we did things, but you are overlooking the downsides. Each person in the past used far more resources than they do today, the world had fewer people and it worked out. It's not possible to support this many people using the inefficient methods of the past.

Before the industrial revolution almost every single tree in Europe was cut down in order to support human life there, it was not sustainable - they ran out of trees.

Using technology the increase in efficiency was so great we also got "treats" other technology we greatly enjoy. There are downsides of course, too much CO2, but going back to the old ways is NOT the solution.
Cody's Lab has a few interestig videos about burning things in pure oxygen. For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlSeHSDc-Do So it's no so simple becuae you can't just ignore the 80% of nitrogen and use only the 20% of oxygen.

(IIR/UC the problem is that the nitrogen absorbs heat, so the pure 20% of oxygens burn things too easily.)
Returned many items through my UPS Store without needed to put it in a box or apply a label. Just walk in with the item, they scan the QR code and give me a receipt. Usually done in 30 seconds or less.

Meanwhile returns through Whole Foods are a shit show. They can't give me a receipt for the return. "Just wait here and make sure you get an email confirming the return." Amazon claimed they never got one of my returns despite me having that email receipt. Had to fight it three damn times before they stopped pulling back my refund.

Unfortunately they force me to use Whole Foods (or maybe some other worse options) for any return with a lithium battery in it.

You claim that these countries do not have the same system of building but they do have the same financial system. That is a large claim to make.

>You’d only be spending 10 minutes charging anyways to carry on.

I am sorry but NO. EV fans always push this narrative but now finally having experienced it myself by doing day long road trips in Mach-e, Bolt, and Tesla I can clearly say that this is more of a problem than you let on.

Maybe if you are on Tesla NACS which is plug in and 3 seconds later it starts but for others you must account for the time it takes to get the charger to start. Even if you are on Tesla, repeating the process of stopping, connecting and then waiting still adds time to the trip.

Typically on Non Tesla it involves bringing up the app, waiting for the charger to "negotiate" with the car and then accounting for any failures in communication and restarting the process to compensate. To be fair, Tesla has really perfected this as much as they can but that time is still spent.

Repeat this process for every "10 mins" you have to stop and for a long road trip all of a sudden all those minutes end up to 1+ hours.

And no typically, 10 mins gets you 300-500 miles of range in a gas car depending on model but 10 mins cannot get anything close to that in any electric car(and thats accounting for ideal conditions like being in the right part of the battery charge curve, no other cars occupying the same block of chargers, etc.)

You will spend more minutes despite Tesla being the clear leader in making this experience as painless as possible and in an emergency that could be a dealbreaker.
I would think that any turntable that allows for adjustment of the speed of the motor would have this already (based on my limited experience with turntables from decades ago). So, nice little app, but if it shows you the error of a non-adjustable turntable, it won't have a lot of practical applications.

Hypocritical, or just haven't got that far in my efforts yet? Paypal is much easier to jettison than the others. Just because the others also spy on me doesn't mean I have some sort of responsibility to allow PayPal to do it as well.

How much more housing? More housing is being built.

Average house size has increased significantly over time. Average household size trends broadly downward, with rare counterexamples.

When is "better" also "more"? Because better costs more, just like more area costs more. What resources should be redirected from quality to quantity?
Frankly this is why I have trouble taking all this C advocacy seriously. Do managers really want their engineers using C?

And that's a lot of risk.
I'd love to see a progressive rate purchase tax on properties. Proceeds to fund transit capital expansion.

Above the median, buyers (and therefore developers building) start incurring increasing transaction costs.

Yeah, so? They don’t have to be talking to the same system, and in fact it was literally what you called bullshit to originally.

> If you’re having trouble with that, you’ve got bigger issues.

That does absolutely nothing to changing the fact that a SPoF is still an anti-pattern that should be avoided.

For that matter…

> A in-memory cache on top of session retrieval is so trivial and adds so few microseconds that it’s imperceptible even at large volumes of traffic.

Also does absolutely nothing to change that fact. You have done nothing to actually elaborate on why it’s totally not a horrendous idea to have everything communicate to the same database. Just because there’s a caching layer does not mean that fresh data wouldn’t be available if a SPoF goes down, which, once again, is the whole point here.

I moved around a lot and the majority of the time I signed a lease it was 1+ months out for an apartment that was still occupied. Having some availability right now is definitely beneficial as stuff can happen, but current housing stock just wasn’t what I was looking at basically ever.

Though I agree less desirable locations should definitely increase the average, as should purchases vs rentals etc. It’s just 3% is already including a lot of mandatory time from cleaning, painting walls, replacing carpets, etc. So prices could fall heavily at a sustained 4% long before you hit the 5-7% range.
Looks like superalignment was Jan Leike's term, since the team at OpenAI dissolved immediately without him.

Multi-faceted and interrelated: a lot of housing would become a less attractive investment vehicle if near-substitutes were more plentiful. An overseas investor buying a Vancouver condo assumes that the asset will have high resale value (in addition to its use value as, e.g., a rental or airbnb). But in a saner world, housing would depreciate in value over time in proportion to its use and maintenance, like other durable goods.
Yes. “Superalignment” (admittedly a corny term) refers to the specific case of aligning AI systems that are more intelligent than human beings. Alignment is an umbrella term which can also refer to basic work like fine-tuning an LLM to follow instructions.
> I just can't think of much besides a major advance in the formal software verification niche, which still almost nobody would use...

The reason is slightly different here.

What's so desirable here is an AI system with such general intelligence that it is capable of such mathematics by itself as a consequence. Not because the mathematics is so useful, but because the required reasoning capabilities are at such a level that, we could speak of an artificial intelligence that is meaningfully "general" about any problem.

It's a decent approximation of "able to solve any problem" that we can still reasonably test.

> Let's be a little more concrete: do you think FormalGeo [1] is a big deal?

It looks to be an interesting approach in modelling mathematics, and their use of machine learning is an interesting novelty that may pave the way to more useful general mathematics systems, but I can't find much about how these systems might interop with current/'generative' AI systems.

And that last bit is one of the big roadblocks for current AI. They're very weak at reasoning, but we can't directly interop to (e.g.) LLMs, so we can't compensate for that weakness.
I'm not saying this to be rude, but I think you have a deep misunderstanding of how AI training works. You cannot just skip the matrix multiplications necessary to train the model, or get current hardware to do it faster.

The Altstore they are referring to is the sideload version, not the EU store that was just released. This requires a computer to install the IPA file. Once you install UTM using this sideloading method the only way to activate JIT to make UTM useable in any meaningful way is to be on the same local network as a computer with SideJitServer installed and running. Then you can use an emulated OS and drain your battery super fast.

Long story short UTM is not currently a solution. Apple either needs to allow JIT for all apps or SideJitServer needs to do the impossible and figure out a way to activate over a remote connection.
