For 3D VR videos, this would be useful for adjusting IPD for every person, rather than use the static IPD of the camera setup. Also, allowing just a little bit of head movement would really increase the immersiveness. I don't need to travel long distances inside the video. If the video is already filmed with static stereo setup, it would be even easier to reconstruct an accurate 4D video limited to short travel distances without glaring errors.
I've used Trunk for about a year on an app I'm slowly building and it's worked well. I would vouch for it.

It's a little light on maintainers. They shipped one version that was broken for my use case and it took maybe a week or two for things to get corrected, but was an innocent enough mistake and they were responsive on Discord. Other than that, no issues, works exactly like you'd expect.

The Llama 3 Herd of Models
Of course, the other nice thing about the JS example compared to Go is that it's trivial at the callsite to do this:

const [[rA, errA], [rB, errB]] = await Promise.all([
engine.doSomethingWithA(),
engine.doSomethingWithB()
])

At least these days you can ask an LLM to write the WaitGroup boilerplate for you in Go.
Quantized to 4 bits you'll only need ~200GB! 5 4090s should cover it.
I wrote about this when llama-3 came out, and this launch confirms it:

Meta's goal from the start was to target OpenAI and the other proprietary model players with a "scorched earth" approach by releasing powerful open models to disrupt the competitive landscape.

Meta can likely outspend any other AI lab on compute and talent:

- OpenAI makes an estimated revenue of $2B and is likely unprofitable. Meta generated a revenue of $134B and profits of $39B in 2023.

- Meta's compute resources likely outrank OpenAI by now.

- Open source likely attracts better talent and researchers.

- One possible outcome could be the acquisition of OpenAI by Microsoft to catch up with Meta.

The big winners of this: devs and AI product startups
Given how Bezos otherwise completely transformed his look, I definitely wouldn't say it was for lack of vanity. He just went on enough anabolics/hgh/etc. that he probably felt the Jason Statham look worked for him.
NM is not a miscellaneous daemon which throws configuration files around. It's under "/etc/NetworkManager" for Debian, and it uses standard sysconfig/network-scripts folder in RedHat. So it's pretty cohesive since it integrates with everything pretty nicely from get go. All the config files are pretty human readable, and there are tons of tools plus your favorite editor to work with it.

Of course you can prefer to use the tools from the same toolbox, it's your system, it's your choice. However, my experience shows me that using full-featured stacks even if they are not that tightly integrated is better in the long run.

E.g. I used to use DHCP options in my home network in the past, and we use them at work. So even if systemd-networkd feels good, it means nothing if I can't configure my system the way it should be.

When I have thousand servers to tend, I want my configs to work the way they should. I can't get emotional about how using all my tools from a single toolbox, or this and that. I just want my systems installed, work reliably over long periods of time, and just sleep at night.

Network manager proved to be both helpful and reliable in that regard, so I'm a happy camper.

That's definitely true, but maybe I've just been lucky, pretty much every proprietary program I've wanted to install in NixOS has been in Nixpkgs.

Skype, Steam, and Lightworks are all directly available in the repos and seem to work fine as far as I can tell. I'm sure there are proprietary packages that don't work or aren't in the repo, but I haven't really encountered them.
Generally no, this is something from fiction.

I'm mostly familiar with North American traffic signal control, and in those traffic cabinets there is a device known as an "MMU" (Malfuction Management Unit) which acts as a safety monitor for the rest of the traffic cabinet.

That device will catch so-called "conflicts" (two conflicting directions green at the same time) and put the intersection into a fail-safe state (usually flashing red/yellow lights).

There are of course some edge cases where this is technically possible (as long as the cabinet door is open in CalTrans TEES cabinets, you can actually remove the MMU entirely and do whatever you want), and I'm not familiar with safety mechanisms used in other localities.

There is a lot of bad advice I’ve received over the years:

- you don’t need to go to a good university, this one (low tier uni in my country) is fine.

- don’t fight bullies back.

But the worst is not receiving bad advice, but receiving no advice at all, and staying in a dead-end job and city for too many years. Having no emotional support early in life leaves yourself “damaged” and gives you a cynical view of the world.

Your first paragraph is sort of what I expected. I'm not sure how the Bank thing fits today, but slavery is gone, the appointment of postmasters and military commanders is seldom an issue (once you get past a certain obstructionist senator who didn't want anyone appointed), we're no longer defending the western frontier against the Indians, the Ohio valley is maybe de-populating itself (rust belt), relations with the Brits are good and reasonably good with Spain and France, no war with the British, Louisiana has been American for going on two centuries, no more border disputes with the Brits or Spain (nor with Canada or Mexico). I guess appointing justices is still an issue, and certainly the balance of power between the states and the feds is an issue. But most--not all--of the national issues that the US faced back then seem to have gone away or are at least greatly diminished.

This has been bothering me for a while.

Security people act like it's their duty to expose every vulnerability, and that companies are negligent if they don't harden themselves against all attack vectors, while they are responsible for a good part of the danger.

Out in meatspace, I don't wander around picking random people's locks, making smug posts about how vulnerable their houses are (along with their address). Nobody would be happy about that, no matter what color hat I have on.

Civil servants living in the DC or SF metro areas max out at about $195k not including benefits. The benefits include an actual pension, really good health insurance, and 1-1 salary matching into a 401(k)-like retirement fund (the TSP).

Also, you're actually expected to work 40 hours a week and generally not more, and you're expected to take all your vacation.

It takes a while to get to that level, or you need to get hired directly into a GS-15 equivalent position. But it's doable, especially at an agency that does technical work (eg NASA, NOAA, DOE, parts of the DOD, etc.)

The reason UBI exists as an idea is that means-tested programs are inherently politically vulnerable. Another name for means-tested benefits would be "benefits ear-marked for the politically powerless".
It's left a little ambiguous because obviously they don't know what would really work, but the timeline was roughly: WWIII -> Post-Atomic Horror -> First contact with the Vulcans, then the whole push into space getting humanity to pull together over the following couple of centuries would be when this happened. It wasn't just cultural stuff like caring about baldness, during that later period all sorts of things were solved, like hunger and various diseases.

Basically we had to hit our lowest point before we could get better.
It could definitely be seen as part of that strategy, but do you mind elaborating why you think "this launch confirms it"?
It's pretty clear the base model is a race to the bottom on pricing.

There is no defensible moat unless a player truly develops some secret sauce on training. As of now seems that the most meaningful techniques are already widely known and understood.

The money will be made on compute and on applications of the base model (that are sufficiently novel/differentiated).

I think the "at that point" is the crucial element. An extra 20k to work a physically and mentally taxing job for inconsistent hours, no benefits, and no flexibility -- the calculus is garbage. But would I continue working my SWE job for my current salary, easily.

If we're having to say that the only reason someone ever would work a specific job is because it's an alternative to homelessness then that's on the job at that point. These are "inferior jobs" in an economic sense and it's up to the employer to do better. Make working for you suck less. Even in customer-facing retail jobs it's more than possible.

I'm having a hard time seeing the downside. Employees can afford to take more risks because they're not betting their livelihood anymore, and it provides a natural upward pressure on wages and working conditions at the bottom on the labor market which is sorely needed. Anyone whose desired lifestyle can't be supported on the meager income, which is most people, there's no change.
But in practice, the funds are going to have to come from somewhere. Most likely from taxes. So assuming it comes from income taxes, and assuming those income taxes are progressive, at some point along the income scale your UBI is cancelled out by an increase in taxes. It would be a bit silly to give someone $12k/yr in UBI if they are making $500k/yr in income and we would need to increase their taxes by $24k/yr to pay for the program. Just tax them $12k/yr.

This is why I like NIT. It is much more transparent about how the benefit scales with income. At this point if anyone mentions UBI, I just mentally substitute that with NIT as it is a much more practical and easy to understand implementation.
If you're good at networking and making relationships and have technical skills you can go pretty far in a consulting firm. You have to treat the job like building a startup though, complete with finding the right people, marketing, skills/market fit etc. There's no real cap on how much money you can make in the consulting world, it all revolves around how much you can make for the firm. If you make the firm a ton of money and you tell them to give you your cut they will (or at least negotiate). It can be stressful though because, on the other hand, if you don't land good projects and keep your utilization up ( % of time you charge to clients ) then you're costing them money and there's not a lot of grace for that, or really anything besides billing hours, in the industry.

I feel like I have some intuative understanding of how go achieves colorless concurrency using "go routines" that can park sync/blocking io on a thread "as needed" built into the runtime from the very begining.

I don't understand how Ruby added this after the fact, globally to ALL potential cpu/io blocking libraries/functions without somehow expressing `value = await coro`

Python is currently going through an "coloring" as the stdlib and 3rd-party libraries adapt to the explicit async/await syntax and it's honestly kind of PITA. Curious if there's any more info on how Ruby achived this.
Title is misleading. This is about a specific paid product called Marqtune. It is not tuning embeddings in "Colab".

> Which we don’t know precisely. Entropy is about not knowing.

No, it is not about not knowing. This is an instance of the intuition from Shannon’s entropy does not translate to statistical Physics.

It is about the number of possible microstates, which is completely different. In Physics, entropy is a property of a bit of matter, it is not related to the observer or their knowledge. We can measure the enthalpy change of a material sample and work out its entropy without knowing a thing about its structure.

> Minus infinity. Entropy in classical statistical mechanics is proportional to the logarithm of the volume in phase space.

No, 0. In this case, there is a single state with p=1 and and S = - k Σ p ln(p) = 0.

This is the same if you consider the phase space because then it is reduced to a single point (you need a bit of distribution theory to prove it rigorously but it is somewhat intuitive).

The probability p of an microstate is always between 0 and 1, therefore p ln(p) is always negative and S is always positive.

You get the same using Boltzmann’s approach, in which case Ω = 1 and S = k ln(Ω) is also 0.

> (You need an appropriate extension of Shannon’s entropy to continuous distributions.)

Gibbs’ entropy.

> Or you may study statistical mechanics

Does anyone know why they haven't released any 30B-ish param models? I was expecting that to happen with this release and have been disappointed once more. They also skipped doing a 30B-ish param model for llama2 despite claiming to have trained one.
What does "soundness" mean here? I love typescript's type system, except for the quirks that are inherited from javascript, which I sometimes find infuriating, and I'm wondering if you're talking about the same thing. For example, the fact that typescript- through javascript- only exposes a single `number` type is so annoying. Sometimes that's fine, but other times it would be nice to be able to say "No, this isn't just any damn number, this is an integer! This is an iterable ID for god's sake!" so you at the very least get a static error when you try to pass in `1.001`, or something that could be `1.001`. And that's just a very basic example of how a collection of number types with more granularity would be an improvement. Especially if they were a little more robust than that and were composable. Imagine being able to type `integer | negativeFloat` or other such wacky composed types. Ideally you could compose your types programmatically, and define shit like "the type is a `float` who's floor value has a % 3 of 0".
For me, it’s knowing that with a little hard work and a bit more luck in the stock market, I can FIRE after 5 years and actually enjoy my life while I’m still young…
Absolutely. I'm just making a more general point that "the same information in fewer tokens" does not mean "more comprehensible to an LLM". And we have more practical evidence that that's not the case, like the recent "Let's Think Dot by Dot" paper, which found that you can get many of the benefits of chain-of-thought simply by adding filler tokens to your context (if your model is trained to deal with filler tokens). For that matter, chain-of-thought itself is an example of increasing the tokens:information ratio, and generally improves LLM performance.

That's not to say that I think that converting to markdown is pointless or particularly harmful. Reducing tokens is useful for other reasons; it reduces cost, makes generation faster, and gives you more room in the context window to cram information into. And markdown is a nice choice because it's more comprehensible to humans, which is a win for debuggability.

I just don't think you can justifiably claim, without specific research to back it up, that markdown is more comprehensible to LLMs than HTML.
