I dont think there is any real political imperative to welcome women into science.

STEM is intrinsically difficult and in demand which means it's highly paid and as a result there is a political imperative to drag down wages....somehow.

Bringing more women in probably seems as good a way as any to the old, white, male (and sexist) reactionary politicians and their business leader sponsors.

So, they tried to make science pink shrug
It's also non-deterministic, right? So what does it prove if I get a different answer to someone on Twitter?
It is possible that those who whole-ass it generally have high standards and tend to release very little ("I'll link the github later, the code's messy") while 80 (or 90?)% of those who send it have lower standards making you go "who designed this $%^& thing".

The first group needs to launch/release/send it faster (I'm likely in this group), and the second could benefit from higher quality standards.

That one had me vexed for a bit too. After a bit of stumbling around the web I think I finally found a definition by HN's favorite browser engineer, Bay Area club owner, and malcontent Jamie Zawinski.[0][1] According to Jamie CADT stands for "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers".[2]

> Reviewers are pushed to accept papers instead of rejecting them, because a rejected paper makes no money

Prestigious journals have very low (single-digit percentage) acceptance rates.

One or two rungs down, the standard domain-specific journals are still rigorous, and you need to do substantial work to get published in them. It's a hurdle that any decent graduate student with a good advisor can pass, but it's not as if you can just write anything and get published.

There are junk journals that will publish anything, but I don't think scientists generally pay much attention to those journals.

> I sincerely pity the PhD student who needs to run a serious, systematic literature review in 2024. Hell sounds more attractive.

Doing a literature review is not that difficult. You begin with a few highly cited papers. Then you look at what papers they reference in the intro. You also look at the list of papers that cite them and sort by the number of citations. You can work in both directions and pretty quickly establish what the important papers in the field are.

Notice that the important thing here is to look at citations. Getting a paper into a journal is only the first, most basic step. Peer review is only an initial quality check. Over time, other scientists decide what papers are important and cite them. If a paper racks up 100 citations, that means a lot more than just passing peer review.

Some 15 years ago Gnome rewrote things from scratch and that made people angry, but looking back at it now, it seems like it was worth it.

I use both MacOS and Gnome, and I can easily say that Linux with Gnome is years ahead of MacOS. Nothing beats the polish of Gnome and it's extensions. It is less cluttered, snappy and doesn't get in the way.

The only thing keeping Gnome back is it's developer documentation. It is hard to find good detailed information about available APIs, everything is hidden somewhere deep in C code which is not searchable without Gnome Gitea account. If they want to see the year of the Linux desktop having Gnome at the center of it, they have to improve in the developer documentation area a lot.
I agree it looks bad. But that's why they tried to keep it a secret :D
Indeed. That's what I'm saying - you decide you want to research and so you publish. Nobody decides to publish and so does research.

There is a simple test. Look at the result. Imagine someone else produced it. Would you think "This is very well done."? If not, it's "mediocre" at best.

Reminds me of Ira Glass:

“All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you.”

Post-training quantization doesn't come for free, but the pretraining on constrained precision weights actually counterintuitively results in a performance increase per parameter as the number of parameters grows in the ternary BitNet paper.

Even if there was zero efficiency gain in ternary weights, large models should probably be trained on a network of precision limited weights from here on out given the research so far.

I suspect it relates to each weight relating to multiple 'features' in the network. The greater the precision, the more room it gives for competing features to compromise on node values that aren't best for either feature instead of reorganizing the feature mapping to avoid conflicts.

I have no doubt this probably produces better results than a simple vector search, but you cannot escape the fact that you are converting a query to a set of results, and so the quality and intent of the query matter. In fact, it matters more than the search mechanics. Anyone who has ever used a search engine or some other search mechanism knows that intuitively.

Things aren't always that simple.

cloud.google.com on the other hand has an 8ms ping time.

So yes, Hacker News is a simple, low-JS page - but there can be other factors that make it feel slow for users in some places.

I of course am not justifying this - but someone has to be. There is a corporate structure in place, which isn't at all transparent, it seems, which allows for slush, and it all starts with the tax man, doesn't it .. the rock concerts are probably a writeoff for .. someone ..

As someone who's struggled with starting projects from scratch multiple times over and not releasing anything for many years because it was never good enough, half-assing is not the mindset that helped me start shipping things. Rather, it was gaining an understanding about which parts of my code don't need to be perfect right now and also realizing that practically nothing is perfect the first time you do it.

I now leave a bunch of TODOs in my code as a reminder to myself that yes, this isn't the best it can be, I'll come back and make it better when it becomes a bottleneck, but for the time being 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing. This way I'm able to move on and continue doing meaningful work rather than wasting time obsessing over minute details that almost nobody else would care about.

In Spanish, we have a saying: "Perfect is the enemy of good."

Personally, I didn't think the generative results were that bad. What I feel is that Google, in its quest for perfection, will never use LLMs in its products. Advisory services in health and law are out of reach for a significant percentage of the world's population.

So what? Do all the knifes in the supermarket have rounded tips? What if someone stabs themselves with a knife with a sharp tip?

Things use to come with schematics including devices like Crt TVs that had many thousands of volts with a potential to kill a person instantly.

This whole "omg, the potential of poisoning from a battery or electrocution" (how is it any different if you buy that same battery without the device - perhaps we should ban sales of parts too) is a convenient excuse for manufacturers to make things to be disposable. It has the opposite effect, because the useless device will be thrown into trash and then it will become E-waste with a far bigger potential for poisoning water in some third world country than it ever had by being opened by an "unqualified" person.
Wow! I was in Berlin last week and kept losing connection... like all the time. I use 3 with a Swedish plan. In Sweden, it literally never drops, not on trains, not on metro, not on faraway mountains... it works everywhere.
This is just being hindsight oriented. The way it worked out it was better to DRY from the start, but the person implementing it didn't know how the chips would fall.

If you do what this guy did and are wrong, it looks like yes obviously it was the same thing and you should have DRY right from the start.

If you DRY from the start and are wrong, someone writes a blog post about not DRYing from the start.

It's a bet on which mistake is worse, because you will be wrong sometimes. DRYing from the start IMO is a worse mistake than duplication.
> then Elop happened and Nokia basically died

No offense, but Nokia was dying long before Elop joined. He just made sure to burry it in Microsoft's back yard. By 2008 it was clear iOS and Android will be the dominant platforms, and Elop joined Nokia towards the end of 2010 when it was already a sinking ship.

Even if Elop were to be the most competent CEO in the world he could not save Nokia from its inevitable downfall at the hands of Apple and Google, no matter what he did with Symbian or MeeGo or whatever Linux based touch OS they had in their toybox.

The world had already standardized on iOS and Android so Nokia coming to the market with a new touch OS platform after 2011 and convincing users and developers to jump ship from Android and iOS, would have failed to get traction either way, same how Windows Mobile failed.

I had class fellows who were really not good at coding during education. I am not saying they were not talented or in any way I was better than them. Just that during study, I saw them struggling with technical concepts and coding a lot.

They got hired within 6 months of graduation. I give it that they were living in a different city but that still doesn't explain the salary difference.

They guy I talked about earlier had almost the same grade, same interest in tech, and same graduation year as me. That's why I mentioned him and not others.

I do not have victim mentality. It is just a fact that the part of the world I live in, there is a salary disparity between the two genders. It so happened that I got a bit demotivated because of it.
It depends on the point that you're trying to make. Just like with burning of wood.
A hammer that isn't gold plated and wifi enabled isn't a half-assed hammer.

The first part of the job is it's own seperate kind of job, and that job is not to produce the end result of a year of work immediately, it's to identify the job, identify just what actually are the essential requirements and just what exactly is doable on what kind of time scale. Not one line of code.

Whole-ass the part of the job which is kind of like triage where you identify what is reasonable and what is out of scope, or out of the initial immediate scope.

Then you are not really half-assing anything. You fully attain the more correct goals.
Yes exactly my point.

Completely agree on PTQ, but curious on your thoughts for QAT, specifically BitNet 1.58 - in that paper it looks like parameter to parameter the constrained precision weights had improved perplexity vs floating point weights, particularly as the model size increased.

While I'd love to see it scaled up to at least ~50B models, it looks like limited weight precision might actually offer improved network optimization over unconstrained weights for pretraining.

Do you think that work is misrepresenting the gains, or that QAT is a different beast where quantization isn't as much a tradeoff as a potential net gain across the board?
