You do realize the dems doing something and the reps following up with the same thing, doesn't somehow stop the republicans for just doing it themselves lol,

I'll never understand this bullshit stance "democrats cant do it because then maybe republicans will do it later" ... i mean how does not doing it ever stop republicans from doing it anyway later lol... this stance is what has fucked democrats for decades, this obliviousness that republicans have no issue jumping directly to extremes, like saying ROE was settled law and then overturning it in a fucking massive partisan ruling.
You can even ablate the refusal direction out of an offline model so you don’t even need to “jailbreak” them. They become even more usable in that case!
In some ecosystems, the tooling is just not that good. To use ruby on rails as an example: if you lean into the IDE's expectations for code layout it works ok, but there will always be generated methods and variables with nothing to show but the name—no documentation, no source, no googleable identifier, nothing. In these cases there's nothing to do but pull out the rails (or library) source to try and discern their intention.

In my experience, lisp also has this issue of being very difficult to tool in a general sense, as did aspects of writing c/c++ years ago (maybe recognizing stuff like macro-generated symbols has improved by now).
It depends on the provider that the airline has partnered with, I suppose. We don't manage the satellite connectivity, so I can't provide specifics on that. However, in areas with fewer ground stations, disruptions are more likely. Our app and servers are designed to function effectively on unreliable internet connections. it downloads prediction data for several hours ahead and is capable of uploading turbulence data once the internet connection stabilizes.
That's not quite how the system works. Regulations can be made but they must be made within the statutory authority granted by congress. This is one of the reasons why the DEA, etc. has not been able to declassify marijuana as a harmful drug. They don't have the authority. I am stumped why we would want any regulatory government body to act beyond it's congressional authority. I think you might be misinterpreting the meaning of the word authority.
There is, but it's not what you're implying.
OK, but isn't the memory management stuff part of the API? :)

And with HIP, the user-facing memory model is virtually identical to CUDA to my knowledge. Converting a CUDA program to HIP, assuming no unsupported features or platform details are used, is basically just "do s/cu/hip/g".

Also, HIP wasn't around in 2014. To program an AMD GPU back then, you were probably using OpenCL, which is nicely platform independent but also arguably somewhat archaic.

My Dad knew John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton. My Dad liked him, saying von Neumann worked really late, played loud German music, and was eccentric. I wonder is Klara was as eccentric?
The point that resonated most with me, and that I repeat every time someone early in their career asks for advice (or one thing I wish I had been told when I first started out) is "When working on a team, you should usually ask the question".

Early in my career, I spent a lot of time reading unclear or obsolete documentation, poring over code, etc, when I could have asked the person sitting next to me and gotten an answer in 5 minutes. Sometimes, I didn't even know who the right person to ask was, but if I had just asked my tech lead, he would have been able to point me in the right direction.

Claiming that it reduces your overall time from several hours to < 5 minutes is maybe a bit exaggerated, since it also takes time to figure out what question you want to ask in the first place. But it's still worthwhile even if you end up investigating for 30 minutes instead of 3 hours.
US and China talking how to preserve Neil Armstrong's footprint on the moon
Tangential, but I think that's the problem with trying to learn from design patterns.

I read about them and tried to apply them.

That's backward and didn't produce anything good.

I started to understand them by doing it the other way around:

- Coding, solving problems.

- Reading other people's sources.

- Then reinventing half a terrible design pattern.

- Later on, looking at a book: "ohhh, that's what I tried to do" or "ohhh, hence the snippet in that source".

- Now I can discuss with people about the pattern and name my code entities according to that.

Design patterns are a communication tool.
Except that it's useless for any kind of investigative work where truth matters.
Tutorials include some code which is intended to be exemplary and simple enough for a new programmer to make sense of, so I wouldn't discount it as a part of reading code. Practical code does not always have those properties, although you'd certainly be missing a lot if you only read code from tutorials.

I completely agree with the claim "There is no substitute for doing", and I might even say that code you read without running and tweaking it doesn't count.

No, congress gave FDA the authority to regulate food additives. This does not mean congress has to list out EVERY SINGLE ADDITIVE, and to think that is very naive in how the legislative and legal process works. Consider this broad hypothetical: The FDA can regulate food additives, what about engine oil additives?

If the FDA said no, Valvoline cannot use a specific additive to their motor oil, we would all scratch our heads and say that's not the FDA's job, and they don't have the authority to do that. Under Chevron deference the courts would defer to the FDA and say yes, they have the experts to decide these things, who are we to second-guess the regulatory agency?

With this Supreme Court decision, courts will no longer automatically defer to the agencies.
I did notice it seems to have a preference for distancing well-connected clusters.

Maybe it's a layout algorithm preference for distancing "complexity" (i.e. groups of many items / connections) for improved readability?

Or that's representing single source-to-core clusters (e.g. many different things depend on a single library, which itself links back to core)?
Right. On that track, I want to confirm something. Maybe I am doing my math wrong or don't understand how transformers work.

There is a video about the bs=1 case, i.e. a single prompt with input 256 tokens and output 256 tokens with a Llama-2 70B model, on a single MI300X (no tensor parallelism). The optimized result is giving 314 t/s and completes the entire request in 1.63s.

Now, the Llama-2 70B is a an autoregressive decoded-only model. So, that means the entire model weights are processed for every generated token.

The model weights are 128.48 GB (also shown in the video, and can be confirmed from HuggingFace). The card has 192GB of HBM, and the model entirely fits on the card. The HBM memory bandwidth for this card is 5.3 TB/s.

Even assuming the prompt 256 tokens took no time, to generate 256 tokens, we'd need roughly 6s even at ideal memory bandwidth. (256 * 128.48e9) / (5.3e12).

What's going on here?
Figma will train his AI with users' content by default
Ok, thanks for the links. I had time to read the first study you shared. Here is the link to the actual study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772963X2...

Positives:

- PDF is available!

- Nice formatting

- Very well written, very clear what they did

Negatives:

- Not an experiment. An observational study.

- If I'm reading correctly, they classified someone's diet mostly based on 1 single prior 24 hour food questionnaire. This is a bit...weak.

- The LCHF cohort has significant pre-existing conditions (which they do correct for, but their headline is about the non-corrected number)

- They define LCHF diets as being <100g of carbs a day, and define VLC diets as being <50g a day, but do NOT publish any results for the VLC cohort. Why not?

- They then do NOT publish their data!

- BUT if you dig into their supplementary tables, they DO report that VLCs have lower rates of ASCVD than LCHF.

- They have conflicts of interest: "Dr Brunham has served on advisory boards for Amgen, Novartis, HLS Therapeutics, and Ultragenyx. Dr Iatan has served on advisory boards for Novartis and HLS Therapeutics and receiving honoraria from Novartis and Sanofi. "

Anyway, I give that one a C-. Well executed, but looks like their hands are tied. I would not bet on its associations to reproduce in an experiment.
The most shocking thing AMD's done in the last 20 years is not fucking up Ryzen after the first release. I have no idea how they managed that give their corporate DNA.
> Authors of open source code should consider adding explicit restrictions to their license barring the use of their code to train AI. This would make it easier to file lawsuits against Microsoft and others of their ilk who think they can train their AI with other people's work without fair compensation.

I see no reason to expect that this would alter or achieve anything. The wide-scale machine learning that’s been happening is entirely dependent on fair use exemptions from copyright. They’re not using it under your license—in fact can’t, current machine learning techniques and open source licenses already make it fundamentally impossible for them to comply—so what you put in it should be completely irrelevant.

No, if the fair use exemption is ever struck down, the entire field is dead in the water until (a) a change in the legal system, or (b) services like GitHub start demanding an additional license as part of their terms of service for the purpose.
The relevant quote from his Autobiographical Notes is

"...a paradox upon which I had already hit at the age of sixteen: If I pursue a beam of light with the velocity c (velocity of light in a vacuum), I should observe such a beam of light as an electromagnetic field at rest though spatially oscillating. There seems to be no such thing, however, neither on the basis of experience nor according to Maxwell's equations. From the very beginning it appeared to me intuitively clear that, judged from the standpoint of such an observer, everything would have to happen according to the same laws as for an observer who, relative to the earth, was at rest. For how should the first observer know or be able to determine, that he is in a state of fast uniform motion? One sees in this paradox the germ of the special relativity theory is already contained."

In short, he realized that if things could travel at lightspeed, we should be moving relative to something out there at lightspeed, so we should be experiencing its light as this weird "electromagnetic field at rest though spatially oscillating" (i.e. a field coming from apparently nowhere that changes in intensity as you move around in space but not in time)... but nobody had ever seen that phenomenon.

Einstein seems to have put a lot of stock in "If physics allows it, we should be seeing it" as a razor of sorts, so it makes sense that when the math said black holes should exist but they hadn't been seen, his default position was to be skeptical of the math and the intuition. Such skepticism had served well in the past for him.

(Worth noting for completeness: The "variable speeds of light predict stationary waves, but we never observe such things" objection is just one objection that comes up in Einstein's thought experiments. A more complete treatment of the subject is given in at https://sites.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/Goodies/Chasing_the_light/).

You hope. Your ambiguity may not be mine, but that's not really the point. Chevron deference was being used even when there was NO ambiguity.
I spent a ridiculous amount of hours tweaking my vim config over the last two decades. I've used vscode the last few years and rarely jump to vim to do some text manipulation (that I usually could do with a raw install)
I meant it as a matter-of-fact observation. The headline was changed after my comment, but it was "Why We’re Deeply Invested in Making AI Better at Math Tutoring".

The "why" is obvious, it's cheaper than paying people, and the article didn't have anything interesting to say.
Chargeback! Dispute the charges with your credit card issuer; the merchant will stop charging you real quick.
As the article stated, sugar consumption was a method of coping (when he felt stressed or overwhelmed). If you consider that the source of that stress is chronic or from something constantly being put away, then that repeated regular use over the course of decades becomes quite a tough pattern to break, since it represents a fundamental element of what keeps you sane. In these cases, the sudden removal is comparable to living a nightmare.

So I beg to differ that it's not (always) that simple.

I found that kombucha is an excellent, really low-calorie alternative to sugary drinks. Actually, to sugar in general. I have a sweet tooth and I have difficulty managing it some times.

Kombucha is filling and most times one can is enough to make the cravings stop completely. I suspect it's a combination of the slightly sweet taste with the good gut bacteria.
Except all you need to do is look at the tax code and see that is untrue.
This looks pretty neat. Would it be a good idea to develop a hex editor as a project? It doesn't look too hard for a simple one, but if one wants there is a lot of room for practice, like parsing all fileformats, from executionable image to doom wads too some proprietary file format, and I'm there is a lot room for tools that help RE too.
> For an unelected panel of judges to come in, above the agencies, and tell them how the president is allowed to enforce laws is a perversion of the constitutional order and separation of powers—and a repudiation of democracy itself.

This is from the article. And I think you missed it. There's a chain of command and there's oversight and apparently, The Supreme Court wants to be at the top of both, like Putin and the likes. It's as bad for the USA as Putin is for Russia.

If your developer labor force is interchangeable (you can fire or replace someone easily) then you don't have to care about DX. If your labor force is not so interchangeable, don't copy the practices of places where that is the case.
You think they're called practices because of the less common usage of the term to mean an amateur learning something, to imply they're inexperienced/without training?

Rather than it being the place where a practitioner works? ("someone whose regular work has involved a lot of training")
Thanks for the recommendation, these look very nice.
Yeah, with this kind of stuff it's just a reputation thing. In future systems it's a problem though, if you accidentally train them on on the wrong thing or the system is smart enough to reconstruct the missing data, the model can start giving detailed bioweapon production plans.

Mass-producing adverts for non-existent positions is a method of defrauding investors that is not currently policed in any way. Will this loophole be addressed by the SEC or HCoFS in the future? It depends on the next election, but possibly not at all.

Planes and bridges are problems where the quality control can be centralized and you can therefore put a lot of redundancy.

Even then, the Boeing scandal shows it's not bulletproof.

It's not the same for medicine. There are way more doctors than you can put safety nets. Also, when a plane crashes, it's on the news, it costs money and PR. Much less so with doctors.

The plane industry is not inherently more moral, just more liable. Responsibility in the health industry is way more diluted.

It's not that we WANT to pay the price of people learning. I wish I would not have had the wrong meds given to me last year.

It's just that the system is not currently set up to do it otherwise.

So you can feel guilty and stop moving, and you will not learn. You will not grow. And you will actually hurt people for a longer period because you will still make mistakes.

Or you can own it and accept the inevitable: doing things means having actual consequences on the world.

If you want, you can dedicate your life to change the whole system and make it better. But I don't think anybody in this thread is doing that right now.

I did see a lot of people on their high horses, but doing nothing though, paralyzed because they were looking for a way to never break anything.

Before I go shopping, I drink a full glass of water. This has helped suppress or avoid the urge to making impulse purchases at the supermarket. Almost always I regret having bought them; and almost always, I eat them because I don't want to throw them out.
I'd like dying to be as easy as flicking a switch.

Medically-assisted suicide ought to be available to anyone (not only of sound mind and not only with a terminal condition), and at any time. People ought to have the right to die, just like they have the right to water, food, and shelter. In most countries it is currently easier to take other people's lives than to take one's own.

People ought to be able to step into a hospital, ask 'hey, I'd like to die', sign a couple of forms saying 'yes, I'd really really like to die', step into an anoxic chamber, and be put into hypoxia and brain death in a matter of minutes. Obviously, an emergency stop plunger ought to be available in case the person in question changes their mind.

The belief that life is a gift from a god is a highly Christocentric, Western view that I disagree with. We are brought into the world without any real consent; we should at least be able to easily choose the date, time, and manner of our passing if we so desire.
Interesting definition of a power grab. Unelected agencies and courts making laws ex nihilo isn't a power grab, but moving power back towards the only directly democratically accountable branch of government and not even the branch which made the decision is.

I believe the important point about event cameras is the diffs are per-pixel and entirely asynchronous, so there is no concept of a frame.

The video data is simply a stream of events which encode the time and location of a brightness change. For an immediate full-scene change (like removing the lens cap), you’d get a stream that happens to update every pixel, but there’s no particular guarantee about the ordering.
