What I'm saying is that:

1) Novel words are handled because they are just sequences of common tokens

2) Token -> letter sequence associations are either:

a) Deliberately added to the training set, and/or

b) Naturally occurring in the training set, which due to sheer size almost inevitably contains many, many, examples of word to letter sequence associations

Given how models used to fail badly on tasks related to this, and now do much better, it's quite likely that model providers have simply added these to the training set, just as they have added data to improve other benchmark tests.

That said, what I was pointing out is that words are represented as token sequences, so a word spelling sample is effectively a seq-2-seq (tokens to letters) sample, and we'd expect the model (which is built for seq-2-seq!) to be able to easily learn and generalize over these.

I think you slightly misunderstood, and I wasn't clear enough—sorry! It's not a 30-70% speedup; it's 30-70% more cost-efficient. This is mainly due to non-NVIDIA chipsets (e.g., Google TPU) being cheaper, with some additional efficiency gains from JAX being more closely integrated with the XLA architecture.

No, we haven't run our JAX + XLA on NVIDIA chipsets yet. I'm not sure if NVIDIA has good XLA backend support.

Both sides can be wrong and lying. Does it matter if water is "tap water" or if it meets the regulations for tap water? Lying to call someone out for lying just undermines the point.

Edit: Sigh, on re-reading the SpaceX statement they say the input water is "potable" and then later say, "Again, it uses literal drinking water", they never say "tap water". While an exaggeration, that is the definition of potable. They are not saying the output water is drinking water! Only that "all levels have remained below standards for all state permits that would authorize discharge."

But again, I'm not claiming they aren't lying or stretching the truth, just that we should be contesting them on the facts.
The World We're Designing
But the restriction exists and is known before you buy the device. The market offers alternatives. When buyers choose an iPhone or Samsung phone ahead of a Fairphone they are choosing among different trade-offs. For myself I’ve chosen an iPhone because I value the hardware quality over the freedom offered by the Fairphone. But I have a choice.

The freedom I don’t have is to demand the market supply a “Goldilocks” device that meets all my requirements. The fact that Fairphone exists tells me that there’s no structural impediment to the market providing such a device. Their market share reflects the number of people for whom the kind of freedom you want is valued above other requirements.
Hello eBPF: Writing a Linux Scheduler in Java with eBPF (15)
I really wanted a C128, but now that I know more about it, it feels like a meh computer. It’s kind of Commodore’s “C64gs” but without the 16-bit processor and with a Z80 for CP/M.

In retrospect, the Plus 4 looks like a much more interesting computer, with great graphics at the price of minimal sound.

It strikes me as odd that Commodore developed the TED without an 80-column text mode or that the C128 80-column mode couldn’t be overlaid on top of the VIC2’s output. Those would be small changes that could mean a lot of other applications for both computers.

But corporations have access to way more power and data. You aren't going to get to see into the wage algorithm. Quitting because you are unhappy with the wage algorithm means time without pay and potentially having to move in order to get a new job. A corporation, meanwhile, suffers very little when one of its employees quits.

I can't possibly imagine how this ends up producing increased average or median wages for workers.

If not for excessively long copyrights, streaming might not have taken off in the same way. You could instead buy e.g. $250 HDD that's loaded with 2,000 movies from 20+ years ago or whatever. A company could sell a NAS-like appliance that's designed to slot in drives that are pre-loaded with tons of media along with a card library like this to play them. Since they'd be out of copyright, there's no need for DRM and HDCP and all that, so the system might actually work without tons of fiddling. You wouldn't need high-paid techies to maintain a gargantuan delivery platform; you just clone drives at manufacturing time and ship them.

There's definitely a business case to be made with this if it were legal. There's sketchy Chinese pre-built mini PCs with emulators + 50k-100k ROMS that you can buy for ~$100 on Amazon right now, so basically following this exact business model. I'm actually surprised that there aren't similar products for movies (from what I can tell anyway).

Interesting project. I would say the issues had, memory leaks. debugging, etc are a lot more common in game dev than you might expect. Much of these problems have been abstracted away by game engines such as Unreal/Unity/Godot, but if you were to go into game dev with C, OpenGL, and a memory restriction (especially when hardware enforced), you might run into the same teething issues.

The level editor is a nice touch, I would be curious on the implementation as something in the same vein existed for the Tony Hawk series of games and was responsible for "Tony Hawks Pro StrCpy" https://icode4.coffee/?p=954 . Though jailbreaking and arbitrary code execution is probably a lot easier achieved via PalmOS than a minigolf side project.
Pride goeth before a fall.
Tip amounts have always been about how much the customer enjoyed the service, hence the 10-25% tip ranges.

Customers have opaque expectations for service and pay their server based on the server’s gender, race, and age as well as quality of service that the server doesn’t even have control over (like if the kitchen was backed up).

A system counting smiles is basically what we currently have: instead of signaling with a smile, they signal with a tip amount.
> and learning from information about the past.

You'd assume so based on the prevalence of information, but I'm not sure there's any evidence of this. Hell from my own interactions about the past with others, you might as well have completely wiped everything before WWII from cultural consciousness and pretended like the last 80 years are the only ones that matter. Some days it's feeling more like the last 40 years represent the only world people can even imagine, let alone have an opinion on.

What's slightly unfortunate is that a lot of people seem to have applied who clearly don't have anything remotely close to the basic requirements in the posting. This tells me they did not read it or they are bots.

My advice to those people: Stop doing this! You're permanently burning your reputation since we now know that you're being lazy with our first impressions of you!
It’s odd that the C128 had the same kind of C64 mode that the Apple /// was so criticised for - it could emulate an absolutely unimproved C64 despite being able to run twice as fast as its predecessor.
Data memory-dependent prefetchers are a thing (..with expected side-channel potential), and tagging would conceivably make it non-functional. Though, realistically, I wouldn't expect for it to make much difference.

The vast majority of home cooking in the US measures in cups. Certainly there are people in-the-know who are going to be more precise and measure by weight, and most restaurant kitchens will probably do so as well.

I agree it's not great, but ultimately I've found it doesn't really matter in practice, even for baking most of the time. For regular cooking I do get frustrated when I'm asked to include "2 cups of shredded chicken" or the like, but ultimately it really doesn't matter. Being off won't ruin the recipe, and often more or less of a particular ingredient is a matter of personal taste anyway.

I have a kitchen scale, but it's always simpler and easier to grab and use a measuring cup, so that's what I do most of the time, unless the recipe actually calls for weight without giving volume.
The public sector is often inefficient and insulated from market forces but that doesn't imply that what they produce doesn't meet the needs or desires of citizens. And I've done a lot of work in the private sector that would never in a million years have an impact on the bottom line.

Inefficiencies are everywhere, denying the simplistic stereotype that that the public sector is unusually inefficient.

That's simply wrong.

> The fact that lightning might have struck the drive just exactly then is not your problem [...] If you think you might need fsync(), you don't. [...] Those things all already have their own layers with their own responsibilities to be doing all the necessary testing [...]

You're mixing up the concepts of durability and consistency in pretty significant ways here, and are implying that everybody that is fine with a lack of the former will also be fine with a lack of the latter.

This is absolutely not true, and can cause extremely painful and hard-to-track-down bugs.

For better or worse, there is no way to directly tell the OS "whatever you do, make sure you don't reorder these writes I just did with those other writes I'm about to do".

The next best (portable) thing we have to achieve that outcome is fsync. It's a bit heavy handed, in that it gives you durability even if you only want consistency. That absolutely doesn't mean it's redundant, though.

> Basically if you aren't writing the filesystem itself, then you shouldn't be calling fsync().

Given that fsync is a syscall, but file systems are generally implemented in the kernel, this is a pretty nonsensical statement by itself.

File systems usually have (and need, for performance) a much lower level view of the underlying block storage, and fine-grained control over it.

Just as one example, Linux has the concept of write barriers. Not using these correctly (in the filesystem driver) can cause data leaks across files owned by different users and processes.
Fuck that.

Regardless of what the "cause" of this is (ie bug or bad design), it's obvious nobody even took a look at this after it was coded up and merged in. The larger packets and double server ACKs are very clearly obviously giving the game away. This feature just doesn't even come close to what it supposedly does, was it even shipped as a feature or something that wasn't yet done?

Not exactly encouraging, to see a system so integral to security seemingly shipping code without even a minor test of intended function.
The problem is not public salary. In EU multiple countries have it public with noe issues to anyone. I'm outside of EU and also have my data public due to owning an LLC.

Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands with AI
My two biggest issues:

1. No consistency in whether a value is an attribute or a child element, they seem completely interchangeable and redundant. I'm sure there's some nuance I'm missing here but I've worked with my fair share of XML and it has yet to be relevant to me at least. This adds a lot of mostly arbitrary decisions to the design phase, makes it difficult to clearly refer to specific values, and means it's impossible to directly parse XML into an object structure in most languages like you can with JSON.

2. It's awful to read and write. Everything is just a mess of tags and any structure is quickly lost. Line splitting is awkward and often not even attempted (seriously I had coworkers push back when I applied basic formatting to a config file because they claimed it was easier to read with lines 3x the width of anyone's screen). Needing to name the object in both the opening and closing tag wastes space and is absolutely ridiculous when writing by hand (sure editors can kinda handle this now but not perfectly and sometimes I'm using vi over SSH because that's all there is).

I really don't understand why so many people are still so attached to it myself.
Broadcom is just a Private Equity firm cosplaying as a tech company. This is just what they do. They don’t care if it dies as long as they are able to get every last drop of blood from their -victims- customers.

I think this is missing the forest for the trees, as well informed as it seems to be. Other feature of “C-like languages” like traditional control flow (for loops, single branch if statements), impurity, mutability and so on (all features many ML dialects of FP languages usually have secretly or via extension) demand a sort of approach to programming that most programmers, who will have started with a “C-like” will have to work hard to develop the discipline to use
> It's a multierror, a feature of the standard library.

Which is why the claim was identified as being strange and in need of clarification. How can "If I'm going to do something upstream based on the error, I use a type." be true? If there are many developers, you don't get to control the upstream.
