Half way through your comment I got worried you were about to claim you could charge your EV off its own internal outlet. No joke, I’ve seen many people on car forums saying EV companies are idiots for not making them self charging.
Anecdotally I find this to be the case with team-based online gaming. For example, if you fail to secure your lane in a Moba because your support left you to fight against two of the enemy alone, people will blame you, when the blame should rest on the shoulders of the person who abandoned you. Or, if one of your team decides not to play, which makes you 4v5 against the enemy, and you make a mistake that loses you the game, people will blame you, rather than the teammate that put you in the 4v5 situation. Very frustrating.

Good news then, because alert/prompt/confirm do not block the window in any modern browser!

In Firefox it only blocks the viewport of the current tab, so it behaves exactly like a DIY modal. In Chromium browsers it does pop over part of the browser UI, but it still doesn't block the window; You interact with the tab bar, address bar, menu, etc.

There's an extra level of indirectness. Dude was assassinated, there is almost no sympathy and it's this they are outraged by.

Sure, getting the top man assassinated isn't a reason to change what you do - it was one guy with a gun - but that no one is rushing to their defence is another matter.
The shooter is being hailed as a hero by a lot of people on Reddit (shocking, I know). When they catch him, if he puts up a gofundme for his defence, he's going to collect millions.

There's lots of speculation out there that the shooter was motivated by some failure at United. If so, UHC's PR people are probably in for some long hours during the trial when their dirty laundry gets aired.
That's tremendously reductionistic.

Growing up in a very conservative household, I was always told to look at what people do, not at what they say all my childhood. Now those same people are ranting about what Trump and his cronies say, completely ignoring what they do. It'll always amaze me how easy it was to convince people to ignore actions, and only pay attention to words.

RFK will only be able to propose plans within what Trump will allow; the overlap between their ideas is only bad things. If he tries to go any further he'll just end up like Tom Price did, and resign in six months.

> The printer counts the pages and sends the page count and ink levels to the mother ship and ink just shows up exactly when you need it.

So is the printer running secure (ie libre) firmware so I can know it's not also backhauling the content of what is printed for some imagined "legitimate" business purpose? Or are you saying that I am just supposed to trust the printer manufacturer based on their marketing? If I am supposed to be content just trusting them with the content of what I print, then I might as well dispense with "owning" a device that requires (space, supplies, maintenance) and just pick up prints at Staples.

> Lots of businesses operate like this so I’m not sure why people are so upset at printer companies. When I buy a game for my PS5, I get about $2 worth of plastic and cardboard and they charge me $60 or more

Because it's straight up anti-competitive bundling that would be taken to task if there were any semblance of anti-trust enforcement. Printers and ink for printers should be separate markets. A manufacturer should not be able to abuse their market share of printers in order to make people buy ink from them as well.

People are also most certainly concerned with proprietary locked down platforms (eg PS5, iDevices, web services). The topic of printers is just especially galling because it was an industry that got along just fine before using technological and legal restrictions to kill competition. Newer markets have been locked down from their creation, so people have a harder time imagining better. That anti-competitive arrangements have been allowed to fester across our society is a major problem, not some kind of perverse validation.

(Your example of game pricing also drags in the deliberate monopoly of copyright, but I addressed the substance of the anticompetitive bundling/subsidizing consoles with games)

> The flaw in your position is that the position necessitates the devaluing of life.

That does seem like the beginning of a slippery slope. Life is precious. Its a fair point.

My ask is does a society that allows for-profit health insurance companies to lobby our leaders, deny coverage in a game style system, directly depriving thousands of people of life... not also devalue life?

Personally I'm not actually a big moral crusader, but I do find ecosystems respond with a certain conservation of energy. When one person becomes in charge of such a large cog in a system that steadily devalues life, when they have implicitly promoted such a time of contempt, it seems immensely predictable that they themselves perish in that same ecosystem.

It depends on what you're doing, though. If you're helping people fill out documents (even non-government documents), then you really need to match the country standard.

Localization is important; some countries outright require it if you're going to do business within their borders. But even where it's not required, you will lose customers if your website/application/product feels "foreign". I'm not sure date ordering is a big enough deal to trigger that feeling in anyone, but unless it's a huge burden to format things the way people expect, I would do so for the UX benefits.

In general you can just use the parameter count to figure that out.

70B model at 8 bits per parameter would mean 70GB, 4 bits is 35GB, etc. But that is just for the raw weights, you also need some ram to store the data that is passing through the model and the OS eats up some, so add about a 10-15% buffer on top of that to make sure you're good.

Also the quality falls off pretty quick once you start quantizing below 4-bit so be careful with that, but at 3-bit a 70B model should run fine on 32GB of ram.
This of course depends on your budget and what you expect to do with these models. For a lot of people, the most cost-effective solution is probably to rent a GPU in the cloud.

The limiting factor for running LLMs on consumer grade hardware is generally how much memory your GPU has access to. This is VRAM that's built into the GPU. On non-Apple hardware, the GPU's bandwidth to system RAM is so constrained that you might as well run those operations on the CPU.

The cheapest PC solution is usually second-hand RTX 3090's. These can be had for around $700 and they have 24G of VRAM. An RTX 4090 also has 24G of VRAM, but they're about twice as expensive, so for that price you're probably better off getting two 3090's than a single 4090.

Llama.cpp runs on the CPU and supports GPU offloading, so you can run a model partly on CPU and partly on GPU. Running anything on the CPU will slow down performance considerably, but it does mean that you can reasonably run a model that's slightly bigger than will fit in VRAM.

Quantization works by trimming the least significant digits from the models' parameters, so the model uses less memory at the cost of slight brain damage. A lightly quantized version of QwQ 32B will fit onto a single 3090. A 70B parameter model will need to be quantized down to Q3 or so to run entirely on a 3090. Or you could run a model quantized to Q4 or Q5, but expect only a few tokens per second. We'll need to see how well the quantized versions of this new model behave in practice.

Apple's M1-M4 series chips have unified memory so their GPU has access to the system RAM. If you like using a Mac and you were thinking of getting one anyway, they're not a bad choice. But you'll want to get a Mac with as much RAM as you can and they're not cheap.
Better idea:

Don't use someone elses thing, until you have read and understand the damn thing. Once you have done that, either pin it to that piece at that revision, and never update as long as it does what you need, or just bloody re-implement it yourself.

Boom. Saved from a supply chain attack. I know, it requires reading code. Oh noes. Them's the breaks.

Also, this would only actually allow a compromise as part of an exploit chain, as without firewall rules being explicitly setup to permit traffic between hosts on port 11337, that traffic would get nixed at the network layer. For a production system, you whitelist any expected network traffic. Depending on what you're doing, that may include locking down expected ports on the loop back connection. If they try to augment it to call out, then you might have issues, but that significantly inflated this gadget's size.

I would absolutely not worry about this nonsense on any of my systems.

Interesting that xz in particular seems to attract these types of compromises/attacks though.
Gerstner left ibm far better than when he found it. That's the main point.

Now generally speaking most American OEMs lost their manufacturing chops since 1985 when software began eating everything.

Today, tech companies need to decide: did that go too far? Should we reincorporate physical r&d, and down size manufacturing supply chain bringing it back inside?

Those are legit questions. Summarily stating ibm is just a consulting company doesn't get us anywhere.
It doesn’t have to be brand new to be on the front page. Good ol’ or reference content is suitable too.

Vigilante justice has always been popular. It's one of the handful of themes at the core of most popular movies and TV shows.
It is correct that the first model that will beat ARC-AGI will only be able to handle ARC-AGI tasks. However, the idea is that the architecture of that model should be able to be repurposed to arbitrary problems. That is what makes ARC-AGI a good compass towards AGI (unlike chess).

For instance, current top models use TTT, which is a completely general-purpose technique that provides the most significant boost to DL model's generalization power in recent memory.

The other category of approach that is working well is program synthesis -- if pushed to the extent that it could solve ARC-AGI, the same system could be redeployed to solve arbitrary programming tasks, as well as tasks isomorphic to programming (such as theorem proving).

I doubt they go even that far. Most nights, if not all, they probably don't even think about whatever harm they're doing.

You're refuting a strawman. The junk DNA claim is not, and as far as I can see never had been, that all non-coding DNA is junk. It's that most of our genome -- around 90% -- is junk[1][2]. But since the genome is over 98% non-coding, that implies that something like 8% is functional non-coding DNA, which is several times the amount of coding DNA. Finding small amounts of additional functional non-coding DNA does not significantly challenge this[3].

Fructose is metabolized to lipids in the liver and that counts fruit juice, too. And the whole fruit.
With respect, it's absurdly more specious and naive to go from

"mouse study suggests contigent relationship between fructose and cancer cell behavior as seen in the specific limited models of the study, inviting further research"

to

"Public figure with especially agressive and entirely unrelated cancer reportedly ate something that happens to contain fructose and eventually died! Same thing!"
This is an extremely well formed comment, and thanks for all the sources backing it up.

> Any smart nation who wants to protect the minds of their citizens would do well to extremely regulate social media in their country.

Extremely regulating social media isn't going to decrease the gormlessness of the population. In fact it'll probably make it worse. We can try to tamp down manipulative content all we want but it's a losing battle. What we need instead is to educate our masses. The problem is we won't, because our regulators want to be able to manipulate us. They just don't want other countries to be able to.
FYI, high fructose corn syrup has only slightly more fructose (a single digit percentage) than normal sugar, which also has a fuckton of fructose in it.

Truth! Many developers believe the coming up with abstractions is the pinnacle of sw engineering. The amount of time and money wasted on arguing about the right abstractions, following by massive refactoring needed when you discover that reality doesn't match your abstractions is immense. I have had engineers abstract all of the way down to Turning machines in an effort to find a model that would fit all of their use cases.

You might benefit from a closer examination of what an oligarchy is and how the US political system functions in the context of campaign finance, lobbyist groups involvement with drafting legislation, and the conveyor between the legislative branch and private industry jobs. If you have the constitution for rummaging through tweedy academic thickets you might also consider reviewing the Princeton papers that deconstruct the US political apparatus and indicate pretty vividly that the US is, in fact, an oligarchy. Lastly, given the combination of wealth inequality in the US and the Supreme Court rulings on money == speech and political influence == speech it's pretty trivial to conclude that money == political influence and the top 0.1% has more of both. To be clear, this is an indictment of both major political parties in the US, as they operate functionally identical campaign finance strategies.
