I believe the point that was being made is that the perception, on average, is that iOS apps are carefully manicured and will not require troubleshooting by the typical user, as opposed to windows programs. There have been enough instances where this is true that for a certain slice of the population it is globally true. There is a different expectation of debugging from a consumer not versed in technology from those of us who work with/on it every day.

Google is pretty good at separating inference from training. If they wish to train on your data they do that by just training on your data, them running the model on that data to give you info is totally separate.

It's Hopper-specific, the improvements are closely tied to Hopper features like warp groups and TMA. For 4090s, you might get a speedup by using the Triton implementation of FP8 attention: https://triton-lang.org/main/getting-started/tutorials/06-fu...
I think you suspect that I am saying that you shouldn't like it. What I am saying is that this project shows obvious signs of being implemented with little care and shows very little attention to detail.

You are allowed to like things that are hastily thrown together. How much you like something is not directly correlated with the care with which it has been constructed. Conversely, you may find that you do not like things that have been crafted with significant effort.

I am saying this looks low effort and you are saying you like it. We are not disagreeing (unless you want to make a case that this is high effort?)
> Most log messages are useless 99.99% of the time. Best likely outcome is that its turned into a metric. The once in the blue moon outcome is that it tells you what went wrong when something crashed.

If it crashes, it's probably some scenario that was not properly handled. If it's not properly handled, it's also likely not properly logged. That's why you need verbose logs -- once in a blue moon you need to have the ability to retrospectively investigate something in the past that was not thought through, without using a time machine.

This is more common in the financial world where audit trail is required to be kept long term for regulation. Some auditor may ask you for proof that you have done a unit test for a function 3 years ago.

Every organization needs to find their balance between storage cost and quality of observability. I prefer to keep as much data as we are financially allowed. If Binance is happy to pay to store 100PB logs, good for them!

"Do we absolutely need this data or not" is a very tough question. Instead, I usually ask "how long do we need to keep this data" and apply proper retention policy. That's a much easier question to answer for everyone.
> To me, unemployed means that you are not working but you want to be.

In economics, exactly that is the definition of unemployment:

> Is FlashAttention simply a drop-in replacement for the attention operation in an LLM? Can it be used anywhere that an "attention" operation is used? Or does a LLM need to be trained specially to use FA?

Yes

> How does FA relate to attention strategies like GQA (grouped query attention) or sliding-window attention? Are they orthogonal concepts? Or you need a specific FA implementation for each strategy?

Flash Attention is a way of calculating the Softmax(QK^T)V part of attention, whereas GQA is a way of calculating the Q, K, and V matricies. Sliding window attention (less sure about this, there are a bunch of windowed attention techniques) change the attention mask (the thing that controls which queries can attend to which keys).

> Recently llama.cpp added flash attention support - does this just mean they started consuming a flash attention-provided CUDA kernel or something?

I don't use llama.cpp but that sounds about right.

> lastly, in this post, they compare FlashAttention to Triton. I thought Triton was like an abstraction layer? Couldn't FA be implemented in Triton? I just don't really get what it means to say "FlashAttention vs. Triton".

They're talking about a previous Flash Attention implementation written in Triton.

And even at those failure rates (no matter how anecdotal), economies of scale creep in so a couple billion failures/day still would result in nearly a billion successes per year. The machine never rests and is fueled by creative people from all walks of life from every possible place on earth.
Not entirely, it is possible for simple boot solutions, but to enable LUKS and various other rootfs, it usually requires some userspace probing, authentication, etc. I'm not so sure it would be easy to convince the kernel maintainers to add a user prompt for pin code to the kernel just to avoid having an initrd.
Part of me wants to write up a quick path finder script to do the maze to see how long it would take. The solution seems like a straight line though, so it could get lucky and zip to the middle.

btdu extra (or expert?) mode with snapshots kinda does that: you can see what's only in the new version and not in a snapshot; and vice-versa.
Also it offers attributing size to folders only for extends that aren't shared with a different folder (snapshots are essentially just special folders), to kinda get a diff between the two (stuff only present in the old snapshot is shown there; stuff only present in the new version is shown there).

Vibration sensors usually emit X/Y/Z magnitudes, and are small enough to attach to a collar or possibly vetwrapped to a leg (if he'd tolerate that). I haven't used any of the Bluetooth LE ones, but I do use a Zigbee vibration sensor from Aqara (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PJT939B)

You'd need more infrastructure (like Home Assistant + a Zigbee dongle, or an always-on app listening for BLE advertisements, depending on the sensor radio) but you could apply some filtering to a vibration sensor to determine a threshold for alerts.

(despite the description saying you need the Aqara hub, the sensor works with most Zigbee coordinators, and certainly the popular ones in the Home Assistant community.)

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe these days the various film-industry unions essentially require individual credits for anybody who even tangentially had anything to do with working on the film or on the set of a film. E.g., I'm pretty sure I've seen the names of catering staff in movie credits.
If you don't like a project's license, that strikes me as a "you" problem. Projects follow their own goals and they might not align with yours or your business' goals. You're always free to write your own software.

If the possibility of future license changes bothers you (and there are legit reasons why it might) then by all means, do NOT sign a copyright assignment.

Euro 2024 impact on Internet flow: a closer look at finalists Spain and England
>Limited Retention: Binance was retaining most logs for only a few days. Their goal was to extend this to months, requiring the storage and management of 100 PB of logs, which was prohibitively expensive and complex with their Elasticsearch setup.

Just to give some perspective. The Internet Archive, as of January 2024, attests to have stored ~ 99 petabytes of data.

Can someone from Binance/quickwit comment on their use case that needed log retention for months? I have rarely seen users try to access actionable _operations_ log data beyond 30 days.

I wonder how much $$ can they save more by leveraging tiered storage and engs being mindful of logging.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geodesy says

aristotle: off by a factor of almost 2

eratosthenes: off by -2.4–+0.8%, or maybe up to 15%, because we aren't sure how big his stadia were

ptolemy: at first accepting eratosthenes' figure, he later switched to a figure that was about 30% low

aryabhata: probably off by about 0.8%, though again it's unclear how big his yojana were

caliph al-ma'amun: probably off by about 0.45%, and in this case the source of error is not the unit of measurement but the different accounts of how many of them they measured in a degree

the fact that 1500 years ago aryabhata bothered to give the earth's diameter as 1581 1⁄24 yojanas strongly suggests that he believed the size of a yojana to be defined to within less than 26 parts per million; remember that he had to do all his calculations mentally or by hand, so extra significant figures were extra significant labor

however, all of these measurements postdate the monuments of rameses from 3200 years ago, which contain multiple precisely measured statues constructed all over egypt (though i don't have references on what the tolerances were on the statues)
There was a time wherein the top result for facebook was a blog which faced a deluge of comments complaining that they couldn't log onto their facebook.
I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine a lot of it was R&D work, but also much of it was precision manufacturing that made it expensive. I do like the idea of making a bunch of identical telescopes to drive down cost and allow for more astronomers to have time on the best telescopes. We wouldn't need to make another JWST though, because Starship could just fit an unfolded telescope of that size in its fairing. The LUVOIR-A telescope is sort of a scaled-up JWST, with the folded mirrors, but from what I understand it is different enough that there are many new engineering challenges.
1) Pretty much, it's mathematically equivalent. The only software issues are things like managing dependency versions and data formats in-memory, but Flash Attention 2 is already built into HuggingFace and other popular libraries. Flash Attention 3 probably will be soon, although it requires an H100 GPU to run

2) Flash Attention 2 added support for GQA in past version updates:

https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention

3) They're comparing this implementation of Flash Attention (which is written in raw CUDA C++) to the Triton implementation of a similar algorithm (which is written in Triton): https://triton-lang.org/main/getting-started/tutorials/06-fu...
Another fascinating tidbit I learned from the curator at an air museum - the transition from wooden airplanes to metal airplanes was not a material constraint! In many ways, wood continued to be a superior building material for airplanes even by the advent of WWII.

The transition from wood to metal was driven primarily as a manufacturing improvement. Wood changed and warped as you built the airplane, and it required a lot of expertise and knowledge of the properties of wood to properly tie together the structure.

Metal weighted more and cost more - but you could step away from a production line and the piece would not have changed shape on you.

The amusing part about inline skating is that when you go by kids they're look "wow look at that guy skating". And then they never skate themselves.

I suspect there's a few issues

- If your parents don't skate you'll probably never get competent at it

- You need to be actually good to not injure yourself or on a pretty flat area. Rollerblades do not handle holes in pavement nearly as well as bicycles or shoes.

- Bicycles have actual utility like getting to work/places. For Covid a ton of people bought skates [1] but honestly I never saw that many more people skating then compared to before/after.

- They're pretty bulky. A Bicycle can transport and lock itself up but if you skate somewhere you'll need a bag to store them.

Would love to hear more about these attributes and whether they are only used for software engineers or client facing roles as well
Doubtful. In the time it took to develop, build, deploy JWST, most of the people that worked on it would probably no longer be around to build 2.0. So tribal knowledge would be lost.
> Bank apps not running on phones where security has been compromised seems entirely reasonable.

I have root access on my laptop and I log in to my bank's website just fine. Making apps not run on rooted phones is just perpetuating the cycle of forcing users to comply with the restrictions placed upon them by Apple and Google. Root access != less secure. It means control over the device you paid for and own.

It’s the interface. Compared to Outlook, it’s dead simple. It abstracts gmail/outlook away, and doesn’t give you ALL the features of Outlook. It just gives you what you really need.

I do see a trend of the. adding non-essentials now that they’re successful, but so far the AI additions are minor and haven’t gotten in the way, for me at least.

Hmmm...I recently had my gut biome die off but could not identify any suspects. I bake a lot.

The most noteable thing about the whole experience was how amazing my bowel functions are after having to restore the gut biome. They are functioning far better than the many years before I experienced the die off. I used pills from Amazon that had good reviews (Physicians Choice) with a strict raw vegetable diet, and they definitely worked. I noticed another uptick in bowel function after taking some pills my wife purchased that had more strains. You can't just eat yogurt and dust off your hands.

Cool, thanks!

I'm assuming this affects clocks (and things) but not time, right? Time itself is no different on the moon (it's not the future there).

I know this must be true otherwise we would be surrounded by time travellers by now. So, where does this cancels out?

My intuition says that if we have two clocks, each clock with a display and a laser pointing to each other, and we put one of them on the moon and the other on earth, someone observing it from a third equidistant point would see both lasers blinking at the same rate.

If that's true (I don't know if it is) both of your answers are kinda right, aren't they? From earth, the moon clock ticks slower compared to earth clocks, therefore it lags behind. From the moon, the moon clock ticks faster compared to earth clocks, therefore it skips ahead, and vice-versa. I am not sure though, I feel like I'm missing something.
No it’s not, it’s a multimodal transformer model.
To determine if we’re in a bubble you only need to ask two questions:

1. Who is being replaced by “AI”

2. How much money are companies saving by replacing those workers

The answer to both of those questions right now is effectively zero. And although LLMs might be good for boilerplate emails and homework, that doesn’t justify the huge amount of hype and capital flowing into the industry.
There will be a bust for this boom. It’ll probably coincide with the next economic downturn.
In the US's defence they are a net producer of Oil. So they are already resilient in a sense.

Haha, yeah ok. The masses have already nerfed our collective access to the true abilities of this, barely surface scratched tool that we just created - all that bitching about copyright by the 3 effected people, all likely eat just fine but their "offense" to something they didn't kno happened til they looked into it for possible payout - maybe even they got paid, I don't kno

I kno that the AIs broke shortly after - then the "offense" to the essentially rule 34 type shit - People used AI to make T Swift nude!! How could they - said no one. All that type stuff will happen and we may lose access.

Microsoft is never going back. Google is never going back. Amazon, X/Tesla, Facebook... do you understand?

Do you think their developers deal with a broken AI?? Haha, nah - there are reason some of the less clued in staff think their AIs are "awake" - I. house AI at Microsoft is many years ahead of copilot in its current and likely near foreseeable future state.

To be clear, the time to stop this has passed, we can still opt to reflect it but it will never go away.
Compiler folks: Is there any chance compilers will be able to find optimizations like FlashAttention on their own? Seems like TVM and tinygrad are working in that direction but I find it hard to believe that that would be feasible
But that's not 2x the size evenly, so I don't think that would be worthwhile. That's an advantage of the hexagonal shape that JWST used so that it could unfold to increase the size evenly.

They are not trapped on the ISS. NASA has stated that the capsule can safely bring them home if needed. The problem is that the service module with the flawed parts will burn up on entry, so before that they are trying to get as much test data out of it as they can.

Worst case, NASA would just send a SpaceX Dragon up to bring them home, but this would be a huge amount of egg on Boeing's face.

Yes, Boeing hosed up, but we don't need to exaggerate how much they hosed up.

No, it ticks faster. That was my point.
