One of the fun things about signals theory is how the same basic concept will show up in apparently unrelated places.

Example from electrical engineering: microprocessors will have a "clock" frequency, say, 16Mhz. But when you haul a wire up to VCC and pull it back down to ground, some amount of the power will be radiated away as radio waves. If your clock is at a constant rate, then you'll have a big spike of radiated noise at 16MHz, and the FCC will be unhappy.

So modern devices cheat it by dithering around the central frequency. If you bounce from 15.9998MHz to 16.001 to 15.998 then the same amount of power will be radiated, but smeared across a bigger frequency, enough to get you lower than the regulatory threshold. Spread spectrum clock generation. https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/clock...

If you look in your PC's BIOS settings, spread spectrum is usually an option, and you can disable it if you want your computer to be slightly noisier.

That's detectable through timing measurements, for the same reason you can't have data-dependent operations in cryptography.
Seems really intriguing could you help me grok how this random perturbations of the points of the hypersphere surface are related to smearing the model weights?
Wait until the media gets wind of what the industries been doing this fall… a whole repo on using AI to autonomously use other people’s websites, and not a single paragraph on safety — for the websites or for us. Technically incredible ofc, and it’s a beautiful repo. I wish it didn’t make so anxious.
The constant stream of B2B stuff that tends to come with it is the real cost. 95%+ of stuff is indeed technically quite standard and Solved™, like with all things oauth...

but that last 5% will relentlessly bleed your will to live out of you. Oauth is a massive mess that necessitates libraries with custom tweaks for hundreds of providers, SAML exists but only aging or over-sized B2B touches it so you now have obtuse B2B customers demanding you Address and Attest To Compliance With unrelated PHP CVEs for a Linux distro that's a decade older than the ancient long-term-support version your company started under, plus you're a Ruby shop so wtf even, and...

Yeah I've been there.

If you can tell B2B to fuck off, it's legitimately easy. If you're running a business around it, they're your major sources of income, you're taken along for their ride and it has absolutely no reason to be Ride-able like that but this is the designed-by-committee world we live in now.
> It is very clear that the current administration is backed into a corner and trying to make the best of the situation.

This does not seem clear at all. What has led you to think so?
During inference, it is not a matrix x matrix operation, but rather a weight matrix x input vector operation, as we are generating one token at a time. The bottleneck now is how fast we can load the weight matrix from memory to tensor cores, hence the need for weight quantization.
Interesting, it’s by a team from ByteDance. It all appears to be under the MIT license.
Would you hear it from inside the plane? Even if it’s not as loud as the main engine, if it’s audible at all a lot of people would notice a change in pitch/tone. At least, I notice when the sounds the plane is making change even though I don’t know anything about the reason.

I remember. Yeah they weren't great for the most part, especially for US manufacturers.

The thing is though, those '70s and '80s cars were simple. They could be repaired. And any workshop could do it, you didn't have to rely on the dealership. With not much more than a basic set of wrenches you could repair many things yourself if you wanted to. That's not the same today. Many systems are effectively unrepairable, they are not designed to be repairable. Especially on EVs. Is there any EV that has been designed for easy battery replacement? Once these cars are out of warranty, any major problems will scrap the car.
> Obligatory 'sex differences are innate and have nothing to do with socialisation' study

Did you read that one? It's a meta commentary rather than a study and it strongly notes that:

Therefore, one key difference between males and females in these studies is that males actually show a toy preference while females do not!

A number of other studies of children's toy play and toy preference have reported similar pattern of toy choice with girls playing about equally with all types of toys and males showing a strong bias for male toys

Which would imply that females can do just as well with computers as boys (and as females did before PC home computers were pushed as 'boys toys' in the 80s) save for that charming boorish boyish behaviour of pushing girls out of the boys fort with catcalls, drink spiking and rape.

And that womnen have a broader range of interests in both toys and work.

Unsuprisingly that lessens the initial appeal (lower female student numbers) and lowers the pass through rate (fewer graduates going on into industry).
You're struggling to understand a confusion that doesn't exist. That's why you struggle. Was there any business conducted with these maintainers? In case you live under a rock, these western "sanctions" have been extended to blocking even works of art (theaters, songs, etc) that have been made by Russian artists long before Putin was born. I know that it may be hard for the enterprneurial mind to understand that not everything in life is buisness, same as it is hard for a hammer to understand that not everything is nails. But in the real world, you know, the world were actual wars are happening and people are dying, not the world of markets, there is a hard propaganda from the West to block anything Russian on all matters that is so blinding, only someone with closed eyes cannot see it (and even they can sense it)
> There is absolutely no way for a customer to verify their claims that the data is not saved or transferred elsewhere.

Transparency logs are capable of verifying that, it's more or less the whole point of them. (Strictly speaking, you can make it arbitrarily expensive to fake it.)

Also, if they were "transferring your data elsewhere" it would be a GDPR violation. Ironically wrt your China claim, it would also be illegal in China, which does in fact have privacy laws.
They're basically all wrong, but that's the point. Essentially every one of these has another plausible interpretation where the answer given is incorrect. The rest you can just nitpick to death.

Ask HN: Real-time speech-to-speech translation
Has anyone had any luck with a free, offline, open-source, real-time speech-to-speech translation app on under-powered devices (i.e., older smart phones)?

* https://github.com/ictnlp/StreamSpeech

* https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx

* https://github.com/openai/whisper

I'm looking for a simple app that can listen for English, translate into Korean (and other languages), then perform speech synthesis on the translation. Basically, a Babelfish that doesn't stick in the ear. Although real-time would be great, a max 5-second delay is manageable.

RTranslator is awkward (couldn't get it to perform speech-to-speech using a single phone). 3PO sprouts errors like dandelions and requires an online connection.

Any suggestions?
It probably doesn't matter for you if you'll never be leaving Apple's ecosystem, but for anyone else, I think that's something to keep in mind before moving to a non-portable solution like Apple keychain.
The problem, at least for me, is that I feel like the product offerings suggested to us in other comments (not Claude/ChatGPT, but the third party tools that are supposed to make the models better at code generation) either explicitly or implicitly market themselves as being vastly more capable than they are. Then, when I complain, it’s suggested that the models can’t be blamed (because they’re not experts) and that I’m using the tools incorrectly or have set my expectations too high.

It’s never the product or its marketing that’s at fault; only my own.

In my experience, the value proposition for ChatGPT lies in its ability to generate human language at a B+ level for the purposes of a an interactive conversation; its ability to generate non-trivial code has proven to be terribly disappointing.

That’s memory-safe Rust mixed with unsafe assembly. The Rust should block many errors that would exist in an unsafe stack. There’s definitely benefits even if the whole program is no longer memory safe.

It’s also the same strategy I would have used except maybe attempting extra verification of the assembly. It’s one of the best choices with today’s tools. There’s work on constant-time compilation and certification but I don’t know its maturity.

That’s the problem with Congress abdicating its duties and assigning rule making to administrative bodies and their respective courts instead of passing actual laws. Instead of being upset at whatever figurehead sits at the top you would do well to write your senators and representatives instead.

"Previous studies have reported differences between males and females in toy choice; that is, girls generally favor toys such as soft dolls, whereas boys generally favor construction and transportation toys (e.g., Connor and Serbin, 1977; Liss, 1981; Pasterski et al., 2005; Roopnarine, 1986)." The dolls vs construction toys preference holds for both human children and monkeys (the latter of which obviously have no socialising reason to prefer one over the other for reasons of sex).

The implication is that girls are innately more caring and social, while boys are more adventurous, independent, and prone to risk taking. These differences are pretty obvious to most people, and to - for example - the insurance industry, which charges a much higher premium for a 16 year old boy's car insurance than for a 16 year old girl's car insurance. By your logic, sex differences in motor vehicle accidents among teenagers must be explicable by reason of something other than sex, which would make you a very rich person if you could prove it.

EFT Z50P, equipped with a 50L spraying tank, can spray quickly in Romania's vast fields, simplify spraying operations and boost crop yields. Drone spraying makes main crops in Romania like corn,sunflower and canola farming management more efficient and easier.
Compared to large agricultural machines such as tractors or towed sprayers, drones can fly over and spray with precision aerial application,avoiding friction and trampling. In this way, the drone excels in both precision, efficiency and green farming.
The agri drone helps elevate farming projects to a new level in Romania.

"An official list of citizens to check citizenship status against does not exist. If the required information for voter registration is included – name; address; date of birth; a signature attesting to the truth of the information provided on the application; and an indication in the box confirming the individual is a U.S. citizen – the person must be added to the voter registration file. Modifying state law would require an act of the state legislature, and federal law, an act of Congress. Neither the Secretary of State nor the county auditor has lawmaking authority."

Firefox's password manager stores passwords in clear text unless you use a master password (very few people do).

This means that any process on the computer can read them.

It also means that, unless you also use full disk encryption, a stolen device means you're fucked.

Chrome and Safari use the OS's keychain at least, so there is some level of security.

And a standalone password manager has its own encryption.

Although you rightly condemn the IDF's terrorist origins, you fall into the trap of labelling genuine resistance movements as terrorist. Was the French Resistance a terrorist organisation? Or the Polish Resistance? Given the brutal occupation executed by Israel in Palestine why is armed resistance, in your eyes, taboo? This is not a football match between two equal sides. This is, and always has been, asymetric warfare where one side is armed to the teeth by the west. Where is Hezbollah's air force? Or its tanks?

It absolutely is, but [using it for production of new items and using it for a repair shop] might take more resources than [just having the former and supplying some replacements]. What I'm saying is that we can't just compare consumption/waste of materials (which is obviously worse when doing replacement instead of repair) because there are also "overhead" resources required in order to offer repairs. Theoretically, in cases where replacements are better for the bottom line than repairs, it's due to using fewer resources, and the open question is how "green or dirty" those resources are.

If replacement is cheaper only because of geographic differences in wages, then we ought to repair. But if replacement is cheaper because of streamlining the use of nonrenewable electricity and so forth, then we ought to replace.
