This paper is wrong if the article "History of computing in South America" at Wikipedia is right [1]: the first computer arrived in Chile in 1957, not in Mexico.

There is another issue. Here [2] where the first computer in Brazil also arrives in 1957 and it is not included in [1]:

> 1957 - A Univac-120 arrived, the first computer in Brazil, acquired by the Government of the State of São Paulo, it was used to calculate all water consumption in the capital. It occupied the entire floor of the building where it was installed. Equipped with 4,500 valves, it performed 12,000 additions or subtractions per minute and 2,400 multiplications or divisions at the same time.

So, we need to check which of those two computers arrived earlier.

BTW, there is an article about Argentina and computers in a complex political moment [3] (as usual). It also touches the computer science field itself beyond the hardware involved.

The first computer built in Latam was in Argentina, it started in 1958 and was finished around 1962 [4].

Low Rank Adaptors (LoRA) are a way of changing the function of a model by only having to load a delta for a tiny percentage of the weights rather than all the weights for an entirely new model.

No fine-tuning is going to happen on Apple computers or phones at any point. They are just swapping out Apple's pre-made LoRAs so that they can store one LLM and dozens of LoRAs in a fraction of the space it would take to store dozens of LLMs.

A point that will certainly be argued out in court one way or another.
I can't help but be baited into responding to this comment too lol

You are obviously willfully misinterpreting what the OP meant by "cost".

You say "the thought is what matters" - this is 100% true, and "the thought" has a "cost". It "costs" an hour of sitting down and thinking of what to write to express your feelings to someone. That's what he is saying is "proportional" to love.

It "costs" you mental space to love your mom, and that can definitely happen with $0 entering the equation.

And with respect to "extra worth on people struggling to do something meaning more love" - if you spend the time to sit down and write a poem, when that's something that you don't excel at, someone will think: "oh wow you clearly really love me if you spent the time to write a poem, I know this because I know it's not easy for you and so you must care a lot to have done so anyway". If you can't see that... thats... ya
Do you hace some samples?
> impractical/naive academic research

I think this is a common confusion. You need impractical/naive research because that's how exploration gets done. If you heavily bias the search towards areas of the search space that you've already seen a lot then you've basically killed science and its ability to deliver useful results.
Obviously nobody can trust The Science any more, too much big money involved. The best you can do is try to keep up with bro-science, which is often decades ahead of The Science, and avoid any new chemicals, food additives, drugs or therapies for several decades until we learn if they're really, actually safe or not by observing what happens to the guinea pigs called the general public. At this point we've all seen enough evidence to have destroyed either some, or all trust in The Science, anybody left using Science Juice or Science Gas or Science Pills either doesn't care, or wouldn't even if they knew.

Doubt. This sounds like an Apple commercial from the early 00's talking about Windows malware.

Literally not difficult to find the reality:

It's the same as the US's treatment of African Americans for decades; legally they have the same rights but the reality of how they get treated by their government is much different. Just pointing out "Aha! They are equal under law!" is misleading and tries to shut the issue down
The simple development tasks, like building a basic CRUD website will get easier. Companies will want something more sophisticated. Development of anything sophisticated by AI will take much longer. And, by then, everyone will want something new and more complex once again. All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

I find this to be a shade of "what, it's illegal to drive on roads now?"

They were arrested for vandalizing a pride flag that was painted on the road. If they'd ridden straight across it, they would have been fine.
Apple’s doing this specifically to avoid the possibility of what you’re describing.

If China were to successfully invade Taiwan, where would they attack next? I think America would put a lot more force toward defending South Korea or Japan than Taiwan (especially if chip manufacturing gets reshored out of Taiwan). India, which they have border disputes with, is on the other side of the Himalayas and has nuclear weapons, which would make a full-scale war difficult. Mongolia was formerly part of China, but China hasn't seemed to be very interested in directly annexing it. Russia, which holds former Chinese territory in Outer Manchuria, is semi-allied with China as well, so unless they collapse it's not very likely that China would go after that.
I read LLM at first and was confused for a second
About the next World War, some people said it is already being waged, and some people said it is never going to happen. And some people said that World War 2 never ended.

If you are talking about a "traditional" hot war. I think it is unlikely that it happens in the immediate future (< 5 years). I have thought about the scenarios:

- War and politics are usually intertwined. People wage wars because they cannot fix the internal political squabbles so they wage war to their neighbors.

- So far, the only major player that is waging a traditional hot war is Russia (v.s. Ukraine and other NATO members in certain ways).

- So far, none of the other major players is in a major crisis -- or maybe I should say, they never completely recovered from the last crisis and so far have been prolonging the inevitable with some success. And I don't see a way that such success may suddenly be elusive to them. Both China and the US have internal problems, but so far none is violent enough to even make major reforms.

- The road to destruction, IMO, is always refinement -> reform -> war -> revolution. We are simply not there yet. I think China is at second stage, US is between first and second stage, and EU is sort of in the same place. Only Russia goes to the third stage, albeit with a mediocre show.

Anyway, I don't believe that a world war is impending. Some local wars should be expected, but nothing major except that in the future we will learn in history books that those lead to the inevitable.
Oddly, I find myself siding with Musk on this feature.
There is an article pending in the swift website PRs on how to setup Swift for vim.
I remember once I worked at a company that was being acquired by another. As part of the screening we all had to go over to the other company to do an algorithms interview. Everyone - including my boss. Our company had a pretty softball interview process and most of our engineers hadn't been through a real gauntlet before.

I knew what to expect, had practiced these things, and made it through. I tried to warn my colleagues that they were in for something a lot more difficult than what they were expecting. But yeah, as you might expect, almost everyone failed.

I remember my boss talking about it, shaking his head slightly, his mouth screwing up into that familiar chagrined smirk so many people get after performing poorly at these things. I told him that these technical interviews are purposely difficult, that most people fail. That it's much better for them to miss a good candidate than hire a bad one. That failing is normal. I could see some of the tension in him subside after I said that. I repeated, "It's normal." He calmed down some more. The word "normal" seemed to help a lot.

I wonder if bringing in elements from psychotherapy might help a surprising amount here. I've found that software engineers highly value rational thought - to a point that they neglect the emotional side of things. A little development of their softer side can go a long way.

Like having a pre and post interview counseling session with a therapist would maybe be a little absurd. But maybe something along those lines would work. Maybe GPT4 could do it.
Elephants are one of the smartest animals, possessing self-awareness and metacognition, an extreme rarity in the animal kingdom. They are one of the few species to make art and mourn and bury their dead. That they have unique identifiers is not a surprise at all.

> There is talk that Google's got some kind of extension that adds E2EE to RCS but others will be well informed on it and can add to my message.

It’s not just talk, but it’s locked down. Google’s huge PR campaign backing RCS has been very impressive at getting people to conflate the two but basically they have an RCS extension implementing the Signal protocol which theoretically could be implemented by anyone but it depends on Google’s key exchange servers which are restricted to their own proprietary app – even third-party Android developers are blocked.

It’s a PR masterwork, really. They’re honest on the technical white paper:

> E2EE is implemented in the Messages client, so both clients in a conversation must use Messages, otherwise the conversation becomes unencrypted RCS. In rare situations where the conversation starts as E2EE, then one of the clients migrates to a different RCS client or an older Messages client that does not support E2EE, Messages might be unable to detect the change immediately. If the Messages user sends a new message, it’s still E2EE, however the recipient client may render the encrypted base64 payload directly as message content.

https://www.gstatic.com/messages/papers/messages_e2ee.pdf

Meanwhile, the far more widely read marketing pages they actually advertise say things like this:

> SMS and MMS don’t support end-to-end encryption, which means your messages are not as secure.

By that candidate being authentic, being honest about their strengths and their weaknesses, having genuine enthusiasm for their profession, and showing a good mix of confidence and humility.
> If it appears human, we will develop a false sense of trust. But you can never trust it as you would trust a human.

I've been treating LLM's as yet another voice on the internet - of course I wouldn't "trust" such a random person on the internet to be correct in their writing, let alone to act in my best interest - but so far, LLM's have been much more to my liking on both accounts than the random human netizen.
Most of these points have nothing to do with Swift.
That is absolutely and resolutely untrue.
I hope and expect it to work over Wi-Fi without a cellular signal.
Finetuning or RLHF on Anthropic
Hello,
I am curious to see if anyone has identified a substitute process for finetuning models from Anthropic, as they currently do not support this capability. Is there some way to add on another ML model to officially retrain/finetune the base model on prompt/completion pairing to better align the model results to my business needs. I have thought about doing RLHF on these models, but I do not know if this is possible with Anthropic or not. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.
The code completion looked nice, but having used Xcode since v4 I would be happier if Xcode wasn't so buggy. I think they mentioned SwiftUI previews got some issues solved.

Some say the tallest building in the US is One WTC, but it's clearly Central Park Tower. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...

I find the content of the article, irregardless if it comes to fruition, exciting. One WTC was a missed opportunity to take back the crown of the tallest skyscraper, at least within the US (the Willis Tower is taller too).

It would be cool if they took back the title of the tallest in the world, but at a minimum, it looks like there's a chance they'll take it from NY by every measure. I find that to be significant.
None for consumer-facing products, though

I’m not commenting on this study specifically but a ton of research is susceptible to these issues, especially in academia. Most studies have basic gaps in experimentation and statistics, and are basically p hacked or ignoring variables. That doesn’t stop them from being punished or the world from blindly believing that peer review automatically means “quality”.
That's like buying Bitcoin because you're worried about inflation.

The analogy is that 1) there's a high possibility that you may be buying at the local maximum 2) you may not be buying the best stock, only the most visible 3) it might be mostly unrelated and flop even if AI took off.

But don't take it as a discouragement. I've been proven wrong about tech too many times. Back in uni, we talked about PE ratio, but these days it doesn't really matter for tech - if you had bought Meta/FB at peak P/E you'd be rich. It's to make sure all assumptions are sound, rather than which ones are correct.

Intel is king of starting projects then killing them.
