Np! Oh ye my PR is just a random conversion from Python to C - haven't done C in ages though so probs won't even compile!
Isn't this a technological choice though? Cameras are sufficiently advanced nowadays so it's possible to take horizontal video while keeping the phone vertical, so it's just a software feature away (at the expense of horizontal resolution), or hw feature away (at the expense of a device internal gimbal)
The problem at hand is not one of monopoly, but of awareness of what is actual infrastructure and what is not. More and more systems enter the gray area towards becoming full blown infrastructure, but at the same time nothing is done to increase their reliability accordingly. Worse, the ever increasing complexity also hides an increasing number of weak spots in the systems. This incident shows exactly that, but just look at the comments ... it is NOT the wake-up call it needs to be, the discussions are going sideways in all sorts of directions, even among those who should see the things for what they are.
First Russians invaded Poland together with Germany in September 1939.

Then after Germans betrayed them in 1941 they recaptured Poland from them (stealing and raping their way through the country) and then kept Poland as a puppet state for 50 years, murdering innocent people, censoring press, falsifying history and enforcing the totalitarian system they put in place after faked elections with stalinist purges and communist terror.

Pardon Poles for not being thankful :)
Maybe we should make "Brain Damage Factor" a official term to denote how much types of quantizations degrade output compared to unquantized.:)
(i mean, your information about what the channel does is also potentially incomplete, so the same divergence in definitions could arise there too, but the subjectivity doesn't just stem from the definition of the channel; and shannon entropy is a property that can be imputed to a source independent of any channel)
Currently my credit card is paying for it :P

We weren't really sure how to price it, so we're using the beta period for now to figure out what mix of models people are using and trying to figure out reasonable pricing based on that, and also ironing out various bugs and sharp edges. Then we'll start charging for it; personally I'd prefer to have it be usage-based pricing rather than the monthly subscriptions that ChatGPT and Claude use, so that you can treat it more like API access for those companies and don't have to worry about message caps.
I like how the first two paragraphs under the intro (History) is basically outlining how the British doing it to American colonists was a catalyst for violent revolution to come…

…and then the third is describing how American courts immediately recreated the laws with these inspirations to increase their budgets.
Dream on, dude. Look into how the sanctions against Russia are going, not very well.

I swear some Americans seem to think the world they live in is from 1955 or 1975 or something. The US is just one player amongst many, a very important one but by no means the paramount one for every country in the world. The idea it is simply isn't backed by facts on the ground.

So yea, if forced to choose between USA vs Rest of World virtually every country will choose RoW. Americans are delusional if they think they can just snap their fingers and everybody else will jump to attention.

I'd say that everyone has the potential for this weird survivorship behavior where you can't admit the truth for yourself.

It's probably related to a deep rooted cognitive dissonance where it's less painful to keep maintaining your innocense than to admit the truth.

In the right environment (such as an ultra competitive one where your livelyhood is at stake) most people would rise to the occasion. Just as most people would be able to kill people in a war.
A total ban on generative AI is the way forward. If the industry refuses to make it safe by self regulating then the regulator must step in and ban it until better, more fine tuned regulation can be made. It is needed to protect our environment, our democracy, our very lives.

A Man Who Solved the $1M Math Problem Then Disappeared (Newsthink) [video]
I think the non English part is mostly hit and miss in this primitive version, probably cos the implementation is not correct. I got to read up a lot and fix it.
Back in 1998 or so, a colleague and I were tasked with building a system to target adverts to particular users on a website. It obviously needed to run very efficiently, because it would be invoked on every page load and the server hardware of the time was very underpowered by today’s standards.

The Linux server revolution was still a few years away (at least it was for us – perhaps we were behind the curve), so our webservers were all Sun Enterprise machines running Solaris.

We decided to use a server process that had an in-memory representation of the active users, which we would query using doors from a custom Apache module. (I had read about doors and thought they sounded cool, but neither of us had used them before.)

It worked brilliantly and was extremely fast, though in the end it was never used in production because of changing business priorities.
I cant run cosmolibc on Android, for example. Then again this converter is somewhat limited and didn't accept any of the IOCCC code I gave it.
If we're talking Dutch high-speed rails, don't forget the Fyra!

It was a high-speed train plagued with so many issues it was returned to the manufacturer. To give an example: one day 85% of the trips had to be cancelled due to defective trains, with one of those which did run losing parts(!) at high speed; the train wasn't water-tight; the brakes were designed for 160km/h despite the train itself going 250 km/h; a train horn which couldn't handle snow; batteries in the passenger compartment catching fire; doors opening at full speed; and of course software issues. Mind you, this is just some of the issues - the full list is a lot longer.

They were returned to maker AnsaldoBreda, and now seem to be operating well enough in Italy and Greece.

What would finding someone "organically" look like? Even before social media algorithms were a thing, or even before social media was a thing, information was not laid out in some random fashion, or in a way that made any of it equally likely to reach anyone. Seems like a fallacy to me.

So it doesn't sound as crazy to me.
I see. Would you agree that this is in the same category as people who believe themselves to be some famous historical figure, such as Jesus Christ, even though this self-belief doesn't correspond with any reality external to their own perception?
absolutely not. Wehret den Anfängen.
Of course you are right, I'd put it less carefully: The quoted Linux line is deceptive marketing.

- If we start with the closed training set, that is closed and stolen, so call it Stolen Source.

- What is distributed is a bunch of float arrays. The Llama architecture is published, but not the training or inference code. Without code there is no open source. You can as well call a compiler book open source, because it tells you how to build a compiler.

Pure marketing, but predictably many people follow their corporate overlords and eagerly adopt the co-opted terms.

Reminder again that FB is not releasing this out of altruism, but because they have an existing profitable business model that does not depend on generated chats. They probably do use it internally for tracking and building profiles, but that is the same as using Linux internally, so they release the weights to destroy the competition.

Isn't price dumping an anti trust issue?

Singapore has not managed it by being a "much smaller state", it managed it by being a highly repressive and authoritarian state. Myself, I prefer the junkies on the streets.

I actually grew up in another relatively small state that had a huge heroin problem in the 80s: Portugal. Portugal solved it by decriminalizing drugs and by making treatment modalities available for the people who needed help, namely methadone. This worked spectacularly well.

By the way, if you want to make it "impossible to buy drugs without proper authorization", I imagine you will want to include one of the most dangerous hard drugs there is: alcohol. We all know how well that worked the last time it was tried...
It is something that was present everywhere.

People tend to value their own group than the other. Jews tended to keep to themselves, which had two reasons: they were forced to by laws in many countries (e.g. Ashkenazi group evolved to have good math skills mostly because they were forbidden from owning land etc. but were allowed to be merchants) and by Jews themselves tending to one another and keeping outsiders out (which is quite natural for any group, but not to that extent). Consider what happens in most cases when w given ethnicity moves out of their country - they integrate in century or two (see USA). Jews do not, at least orthodox ones (which were majority before I think).

Similar thing happens with other immigrants - if they don't integrate, they are feared. If they have different religion even more so.

Countries outside of Germany during (and before) WWII didn't have state level killings of those "alien" groups.
I've heard of the "technically illegal" thing and find it odd, is that actually true? Over here in Australia I think they just decided it was easier to make them all illegal too, with the schedule saying things like "TETRAHYDROCANNABINOLS and their alkyl homologues" as a catch-all.
Still, it did not happen at the same time, did it? Diversity has advantages, even if none of the systems is perfect.

In your previous comment. Where you say job is hard, pay is low, so imply that we should be understanding.

Well yes, but different sports are also better suited for different individuals. It's just making the equipment part of the definition of the sport.

Not really. They can, but mostly only do so at end stations. The network is built with excentered, specific stations meant to avoid the slow-down caused by merging into normal train traffic, with slow, crowded track sections.
My experience with this is in .NET, which has methods like readFile (which is async) and readFileSync.

.NET doesn't really need to provide two separate utility methods like this though, because you can use Task.wait to block until the async task is done.

Wait, what is this? I've never seen anything like that, normally they just check the name on the ID matches the boarding pass.

1. mRuby is trivial to embed.

2. S7 Scheme is also trivial to embed.

3. LuaJIT will not work on consoles (proprietary CPU architectures), and JIT isn’t supported on iOS or Android. You have to use vanilla Lua.

4. Lua has historically been the default because it was first to provide a nice embed story.

5. Lua as a language leaves a lot to be desired (Ron Gilbert really disliked using it within his games)

6. This gist post goes into details wrt the deficiencies of Lua [1]

7. Here are two GH repos with Roguelike Tutorial. One in Lua [2], the other in mRuby [3]. It’s worth comparing and contrasting.

on the contrary, illegal recourse often dramatically increases criminality on the part of government. individual illegal recourse is 'lone-wolf terrorism', organized covert illegal recourse is 'organized crime', and organized overt illegal recourse is 'insurgency' or 'civil war'. all of these situations almost invariably open doors to mass human rights abuses (criminality) on the part of the government, because it makes that criminality popular. typically, even if the insurgency wins, the increased level of government criminality persists across the regime change, often for decades or centuries
I don't think mentioning you're autistic actually clears that up. Would probably be better to mention the association thought process without leading with the diagnosis.
> this is confirmation that I did not spread the flu

So someone leaked medical records from a group with ultra-secret technology capable of constantly diagnosing human bodies, and you found your own secret file was part of the dump?

Alternately, perhaps meeting notes from a German research institute don't actually have much bearing on your personal medical history. That seems way more likely.

Life is filled with amazing things if one jumps--or more like teleports--to exciting conclusions.
> When was that? Mass (as in common, not the initial one off ones) airplane hijackings started in the 1940s.

IIRC, in the US up to the 1980s or so. Perhaps even into the 1990s.

Hell, there didn't even used to be metal detectors in airports until a "large" number of plane bombings happened in the 1980s. IIRC, the excuse for installing them was to detect metal-based explosives smuggled in one's person.

> Are you implying that governments are behind terrorist acts or suicidal ones...

I'll note that the cumulative delays from TSA "security" have had a much, much larger human cost than the destruction of the WTC towers. Relatedly, the financial cost has been staggering. Tragically, the process creating both of these costs are ongoing.

Two things (and only two things) ensured that there will never be another attack like that, ever:

1) Hardening and locking the cockpit doors. Pilots screamed about this for an assload of years before 9/11, but penny-pinching airlines refused to do anything about it.

2) The fact that air passengers now know that a hijacking is not an inconvenience (or maybe a stop at an exotic destination), but is a death sentence. With any plausible armament that a team of hijackers could get into the cabin with even 1970's-era security screening, they absolutely cannot win against a planeload of people who are supremely disinterested in dying in a plane crash today.
AWS, Azure and GCP have programs for Startups and for Researchers that give free credits for their respective platforms. Try applying for those programs.

Erlang is not great at math performance, also because it uses arbitrary length integers. There is a nice comparison between several languages, including Erlang at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6964392/speed-comparison...

It all depends on how the code is written. Eventually somebody managed to make the Erlang code faster than the baseline C, then someone else made the C version 8k % faster, which proves your point. However, how is that related to using sync/async vs message passing?
I still think that they made a big mistake in not having the letters immediately following the numbers, this would have made printing numbers in hexadecimal much more efficient.

That EU Sovereign Cloud will help nothing. The basic facts remain the same. Amazon is a US company and the US government can force Amazon to hand over the data using a secret FISA order. They can force Amazon to add a backdoor to get the data if they have to.

In fairness to them they've only just taken control, and have already said they are reforming British Rail, and are reviewing HS2. It's not a click of the fingers thing to fix.
To be honest your pr and these notes are super helpful cos, otherwise I'd have been too lazy to read up the original implementation, but I can't merge it. Will make the fix soonish and credit it to you. I'll tell you a secret, nobody is good at C except for a few wizards like woz, Linus, jart, Knuth, Bellard and the like. I am also a total looser at C. I just love C. And also the base of this is mostly Karpathy's work and other awesome folks who are way better at everything than me.
My guess would be that keeping up the public facade that you're not cheating requires a little "self-brainwashing" for lack of a better word, and that you don't get out of that mindset on a dime.
I understand that you want to eat your own dogfood here. But since what you are promoting is kind of the same thing as you are showing it's a bit confusing to say the least. I would rather see links to different landing pages and different components/ sections. Also the pricing section now really confuses me.
